With her own mother-in-law being such a shining example, she seems to have no connection whatsoever with the term "good mother-in-law."
Moreover, she was self-aware enough to know that no matter how hard she tried, she could never reach the level of Huo's mother.
But after thinking about it, I realized it wasn't a big problem.
When the children get married and have children, that will be more than 20 years from now.
If things don't work out, they can just throw money at it; luckily, her family has a solid financial foundation.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Si became less anxious.
After breakfast, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly tidied up and went to the military hospital.
In the later stages of pregnancy, the usual procedure is an ultrasound examination. There weren't many people at the hospital at that time, and Jiang Si waited for less than ten minutes before entering the ultrasound room.
Mrs. Huo couldn't understand ultrasound scans, but seeing Dr. Jiang's serious expression, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Doctor, how is my daughter-in-law doing now?"
Dr. Jiang gave her a reassuring look.
"There's nothing seriously wrong at the moment, except that the child's size hasn't changed much."
"Comrade Jiang, have you not had much of an appetite lately?"
Jiang Si nodded, "It's hot and I don't have much of an appetite. I feel full after eating just a little."
"This is normal. You are carrying twins, and as your uterus grows larger in the later stages, it will compress your stomach and intestines."
Dr. Jiang said, "During this period, you should eat more high-protein foods. Eggs and milk are essential. By the way, have you eaten cicada nymphs?"
Cicada nymphs?
Jiang Si shook her head. "What is this?"
Dr. Jiang succinctly stated, "It's just an immature cicada."
"This contains five times the protein of an egg, and its amino acid and calcium content is much higher than that of milk and beef. It's okay to eat some."
"They're in the woods next to the family compound. You can catch them around 7 or 8 pm."
"Okay." Mrs. Huo wrote down everything Dr. Jiang said.
That evening, she went to the grove near the family compound with a flashlight.
In the end, they caught most of a basin of cicada nymphs.
You know what, this stuff, coated in flour and fried in oil, actually tastes pretty good!
...
Time flies, and more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Under Huo's mother's meticulous care, Jiang Si's late pregnancy has been incredibly wonderful these past two months.
Besides preparing a variety of delicious meals for her every day, Huo's mother would also occasionally secretly cook special meals for her.
As long as it's something she wants to eat, her mother will turn a blind eye and make it for her.
Of course, before that, Huo's mother would always go to the hospital to ask Dr. Jiang.
As a result, Dr. Jiang is no longer surprised to see the mother and son coming over.
However, there was one thing that Dr. Jiang found very strange.
In theory, twins usually start labor earlier.
But it's already the end of September, and Jiang Si shows no sign of starting anything.
If even Dr. Jiang found it strange, then Huo Tingzhou would find it even more perplexing.
Seeing his anxiety, Jiang Si felt it was necessary to have a serious talk with him.
That evening, after the two returned to their room...
Jiang Si asked directly, "If you keep staying up all night like this, who will take care of me when I give birth?"
"Wife, I..."
Jiang Si didn't give him a chance to speak. "Dr. Jiang already said that I'm fine, the babies are fine, and being able to give birth at full term is actually a good thing."
"I know." He understood the reasoning, but he just couldn't put his mind at ease.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Tingzhou squeezed her hand, his eyes filled with guilt.
"Honey, I was wrong. I'll go to sleep now."
"That's more like it."
Jiang Si glanced at the dark circles under his eyes, "You better go to sleep quietly. If you get up in the middle of the night to peek at me again, see what I'll do..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Si's expression suddenly froze on her face.
"Wife, what's wrong?" Huo Tingzhou's heart tightened when he noticed that something was wrong with her.
Jiang Si snapped out of her daze and glanced at her stomach.
"My water seems to have broken—"
