When she said this, there was a hint of pride in Mrs. Huo's tone.
"Most of the recipes here are medicinal foods. Tell me in advance what you want to eat. Don't be mean."
"It doesn't matter if you have a small appetite, we can eat smaller meals more often."
Perhaps fearing that Jiang Si might feel burdened, Mother Huo said, "When your second sister-in-law was pregnant with Jingqian, she didn't have much of an appetite either. Later, I cooked different kinds of food for her."
"After about half a month of treatment, her appetite has improved."
"Mom, you're so stupid."
After Jiang Si finished speaking, she suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her strange expression, Huo's mother's heart skipped a beat.
Jiang Si spoke frankly, "Mom, I'm really worried now. What if these two babies in my belly are both boys?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Huo was speechless for a moment, although she also wanted a little granddaughter.
But there was no point in them thinking about this.
The key lies in whether the third child can perform well.
But she still had to comfort Jiang Si. Patting her hand, Mother Huo said, "As long as the child is healthy, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. Our family doesn't favor girls over boys. We treat both boys and girls the same."
Jiang Si knew this, but that was not the point she wanted to make.
With her own mother-in-law as an example, she doesn't even seem to be associated with the word "grandmother".
Moreover, she knew her own limitations and knew that no matter how hard she tried, she could never reach the level of Huo's mother.
But after thinking about it, I felt that the problem was not that big.
By the time the children get married, they will be in their twenties or above.
If it doesn't work, just spend money, because her family is well-off.
Thinking of this, Jiang Si was no longer so anxious.
After breakfast, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law packed up and went to the military hospital.
In the late stages of pregnancy, a B-ultrasound examination is usually done. There were not many people in the hospital at that time, so Jiang Si waited for less than ten minutes before entering the B-ultrasound room.
Mrs. Huo couldn't understand B-ultrasound, but seeing Doctor Jiang's serious expression, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Doctor, how is my daughter-in-law doing now?"
Doctor Jiang gave her a look that reassured her.
"There's nothing serious at the moment, except that the child's size hasn't changed much."
"Comrade Jiang, have you lost your appetite recently?"
Jiang Si nodded. "It's hot, so I don't have much of an appetite. I feel full after eating a little."
"This is normal. You are pregnant with twins. The enlarged uterus will compress the stomach and intestines."
Doctor Jiang said, "During this period, you should supplement with high-protein foods. Don't skip eggs and milk. By the way, have you tried Zhiliao Monkey?"
Cicada monkey?
Jiang Si shook her head. "What is this?"
Doctor Jiang put it simply, "It's just a cicada that hasn't grown up yet."
"The protein content is five times that of eggs, and the amino acid and calcium content is much higher than milk and beef. You can eat some appropriately."
"They're in the woods next to the family compound. Just go and catch them around 7 or 8 in the evening."
"Yes." Mother Huo wrote down everything Doctor Jiang said.
That night, she took a flashlight and went to the woods near the family compound.
In the end, I caught half a basin of cicada monkeys.
You know what, after coating it in flour and frying it in oil, it tastes really delicious!
…
Time flies, and more than two months have passed in a blink of an eye.
Under Huo's mother's careful care for more than two months, Jiang Si's late pregnancy days were simply wonderful.
In addition to cooking different kinds of food for her every day, Huo's mother would occasionally cook for her secretly.
As long as she wanted to eat something, Mrs. Huo would turn a blind eye and cook it for her.
Of course, before that, Huo's mother would always go to the hospital to ask Dr. Jiang.
As a result, Doctor Jiang is no longer surprised to see the mother and son coming over.
However, there was one thing that Dr. Jiang found very strange.
Logically speaking, twins usually go into labor earlier.
But it was already the end of September, and Jiang Si showed no signs of launching any movement.
Even Doctor Jiang was puzzled, let alone Huo Tingzhou.
Seeing his anxiety, Jiang Si felt it necessary to have a serious talk with him.
That night, the two returned to their room.
Jiang Siqi then asked, "If you continue to stay up all night like this, who will take care of me when I have a baby?"
"Wife, I..."
Jiang Si didn't give him a chance to speak. "Doctor Jiang has already said that I am very happy, and the children are also very happy. Being able to give birth at full term is actually a blessing."
"I know." He understood the truth, but he just couldn't feel at ease.
After he finished speaking, Huo Tingzhou shook her hand, his eyes full of guilt.
"Wife, I was wrong. I'm going to sleep now."
"That's more like it."
Jiang Si glanced at the dark circles under his eyes and said, "Just go to sleep. If you get up in the middle of the night and look at me secretly, I'll do..."
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Si's expression suddenly froze on her face.
"Wife, what's wrong with you?" Huo Tingzhou's heart tightened when he realized that something was wrong with her.
Jiang Si came back to her senses and looked at her belly.
"My water seems to have broken—"
