Ever since Mr. Huo gave Mrs. Huo a heads-up last time, Mrs. Huo has been hoping that time would pass even faster.
After a long and arduous election, and with the official promotion documents finally issued, Mrs. Huo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the news would be published in major newspapers early tomorrow morning, she couldn't help but want to share her joy with her children.
"Where is my daughter-in-law? Give her the phone."
Mrs. Huo felt that it would be more interesting to talk about this with her daughter-in-law, otherwise her third son would just keep saying "uh-huh" all the time, and it would be boring for her to talk about it!
"Mom—" Jiang Si took the receiver and called out sweetly.
Mrs. Huo nodded happily.
Jiang Si inquired about her grandparents' health before saying, "Mom, I've received a lot of phone calls these past few days, so I probably won't be able to call you on New Year's Day. I wish you a Happy New Year in advance."
"Mom knows, you don't need to worry about things at home, your grandparents are both in good health."
As she spoke, Huo's mother lowered her voice, "Sisi, do you remember what I told you last time?"
There's no way to be too direct over the phone, even if it's a done deal.
Fortunately, Jiang Si immediately understood, "Is it about Dad's 'work'?"
"Yes," Mrs. Huo said happily, "I just received the notification this morning, and everything is going smoothly."
Jiang Si laughed after hearing this.
For their family, their father-in-law's promotion was already incredibly good news.
What's more, this time Huo's father was promoted to the top position in the military.
At this moment, she was just as genuinely happy as Huo's mother.
“Mom, Dad worked hard for half his life. He deserves the honor of being recognized by the organization.”
After saying that, Jiang Si glanced at the man beside her, "A-Zhou and I are both proud to have such a father."
Look at what her daughter-in-law said! Mrs. Huo felt sweeter than if she had eaten honey. That's why she said her daughter was so thoughtful.
Jiang Si added, "Dad has set a good example for us. Things will definitely get better and better for our family in the future."
"Of course!"
Jiang Si's words were veiled, and Huo's mother didn't react for a moment, still reminding them to remember to read the newspaper tomorrow morning.
The message on it was complete, and it even included a photo of Huo's father.
Jiang Si smiled and agreed.
"Oh right, the third son said he had something to tell me. What is it?" At this moment, Mother Huo finally remembered her eldest son.
"You talk to Mom," Jiang Si said, handing the receiver to Huo Tingzhou.
Huo Tingzhou was a straightforward person. "Mom, Si Si is pregnant."
"It's good to be pregnant, pregnant...pregnant? What?"
Realizing what was happening, Huo's mother suddenly raised her voice, "You mean, Si Si is pregnant?"
"Yes, I just had a check-up at noon today, and I'm already a month and a half pregnant."
Huo Tingzhou was about to say that she was pregnant with twins.
But Huo's mother on the other end of the phone didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and immediately started announcing the good news to everyone in the house.
"Mom and Dad, Lao Huo, Si Si is pregnant!"
Everyone in the room looked over. "Really?"
Mrs. Huo nodded repeatedly, "It's true, it's true. She's already a month and a half pregnant. She just found out today."
Grandpa Huo chuckled and glanced at Mr. Huo, "All these good things happen on the same day. Look, you just got promoted today, and your grandson has already come to tell you the good news."
If he had known this would happen, he should have urged them to do more.
Mr. Huo had a smile on his face, but he was also very excited.
Grandma Huo answered the phone with a smile, "Xiaozhou, how is Sisi's health? Is she having a bad reaction?"
"Grandma, I'm fine. I can eat and sleep well."
Jiang Si leaned closer to the microphone and said with a smile, "The doctor said I'm fine, so you don't need to worry."
"That's good, that's good," Grandma Huo said happily.
Mrs. Huo was still worried, so she took the receiver back. "Sisi, let me tell you, the first three months of pregnancy are the most important. You must make sure to get plenty of rest."
"Also, if you need anything, just ask him for help, don't be shy."
"Mom is telling you, a man needs to be made to do things more often. The more he does them, the more skilled he becomes."
Jiang Si felt a little guilty after hearing this, as he was the one who handled all the big and small matters at home.
There's no need for them to be ordered around.
Mother Huo didn't care. After finishing her sentence, she instructed her eldest son, "You're a grown man now. You need to be able to handle things. Si Si is pregnant now, so you need to be able to manage everything at home and outside."
"knew."
Huo Tingzhou was well aware of his position in the family, and only after his mother had said everything she needed to say did he have a chance to speak.
"Mom, there's something else."
"What's up?"
"We went to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor today. The doctor said that Si Si's pulse is strong, so she is probably carrying twins."
"Twins...?"
Mrs. Huo was stunned by the news, and when she came to her senses, she launched into a tirade.
"Why are you only telling me now that it's so important?"
Huo Tingzhou rubbed his nose helplessly. With so many people talking at once, how could he possibly get a chance to interject?
Mother Huo didn't take this matter too seriously. She had originally planned to go and take care of her daughter-in-law as soon as she got pregnant.
Upon hearing that she was pregnant with twins, Mrs. Huo could no longer remain calm.
She's a mother too, and she's had four children.
No one knows better than her how hard it is to be pregnant for ten months.
Everyone says how happy they are to be a mother.
Only those who have been pregnant know how difficult the late stages of pregnancy can be.
When she was pregnant, her legs were so swollen they looked like steamed buns, and pressing on them would leave a dent.
