Zhuang Sheng frowned slightly. Seeing Chen Jianmin laughing happily, he became even more anxious: "Aunt, I'm not kidding. This level of sleepiness scares me!"
Zhuang Sheng had come home several times and found Liu Ruonan sleeping, and he was always worried. Sometimes he would even reach out to check if she was breathing. It was funny to think about it, but he was really worried.
He had heard of many pregnant women experiencing morning sickness, most often experiencing severe vomiting, even vomiting when drinking water, unable to eat. But Liu Ruonan never vomited from beginning to end. She just slept, and slept non-stop. It was like an animal hibernating in winter, unwilling to wake up.
"What are you afraid of? Everyone's body is different, and their reactions to pregnancy are also different. Being sleepy is better than morning sickness. If you vomit and can't eat anything, won't you be more worried?"
Chen Jianmin looked at Zhuang Sheng's anxious expression and explained.
Zhuang Sheng was skeptical. Although Chen Jianmin was a mother, she wasn't a doctor, and he was still worried. Back in the city, he'd tried to find a doctor to see Liu Ruonan countless times, but she'd always refused. Now that he was back in the village, he doubted Liu Ruonan would see him even if he tried.
But looking at Chen Jianmin's relaxed expression, Zhuang Sheng thought, maybe that's the case!
It's understandable that you'll be nervous when you become a father for the first time.
"It's okay, don't worry. When your second aunt was pregnant with Leilei, she was a very good sleeper! The people in our village are not very knowledgeable, so they said that your second aunt wanted to be lazy and didn't want to work. It was not until one time when she forced herself to go to the fields to work and almost got into trouble that your second uncle dared not let her go.
It's pregnancy! Everyone's reaction is different. The first three months are the worst, but it will gradually get better after that."
Chen Jianmin said this, and Zhuang Sheng felt a little relieved after listening to it.
When he returned to the room, Liu Ruonan was still sleeping soundly. Zhuang Sheng sat by the bed and looked at Liu Ruonan. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. He wondered if she had dreamed of something good.
Zhuang Sheng couldn't help but be infected by Liu Ruonan's smile, and his heavy heart gradually eased.
I went out to help Chen Jianmin with some work, but Chen Jianmin refused, saying that everything she needed to do had been done and now all that was left was to steam the buns.
There are many customs in the countryside. People are not allowed to work during the Chinese New Year, so before the Chinese New Year, every household has to steam several pots of steamed buns and eat them until the Lantern Festival.
Since there was no work, Zhuang Sheng sent the things he bought to Chen Jianmin and his wife. There were new clothes that Liu Ruonan bought for the couple to wear for the New Year, as well as new clothes for Gao Shanshan. From high to low, everything was bought.
Chen Jianmin was reluctant to buy it at first. In the past, newer clothes could be worn after washing them during the Chinese New Year. Every year, he would just buy one set for Gao Shanshan.
But unexpectedly, I got to wear new clothes this year.
They knew Liu Ruonan and Zhuang Sheng's personalities and hadn't wanted them originally, but since they'd already bought them, they didn't bother to refuse. The three of them tried them on and found they all fit perfectly.
Liu Ruonan is worthy of being a clothing manufacturer, she knows all their sizes very well.
The smiles on Chen Jianmin and Gao Shu's faces never faded. Gao Shanshan was still a child, and the New Year was the most exciting time. She would jump up and down as soon as she put on her new clothes.
"Mom, I'm going out for a walk wearing the new clothes that Nannan bought for me."
Having said that, he turned and ran away.
"Hey! Kid, don't get dirty. You still have to wear it for New Year's greetings!"
Chen Jianmin's voice came from behind. Gao Shanshan jumped up and down, responding happily, "Got it!"
As he spoke, he disappeared.
After delivering the gifts to the three of them, Liu Ruonan went to visit Chen Wanglong and his wife. Liu Ruonan also bought them new clothes and health supplements. Old people at that time didn't have much money to wear! They would save as much as possible, and those who were better off would just make a jacket out of a piece of cloth.
When we arrived at Chen Wanglong's house, Chen Lei and Xiaofang happened to be there too, and they also came to deliver things to the old man.
Liu Ruonan and Zhuang Sheng bought clothes, while Chen Lei and Xiaofang bought shoes. This year, the two elderly people were able to wear new clothes and celebrate the New Year in a respectable manner, and they were naturally very happy.
Unexpectedly, I didn’t enjoy the blessing from my son, but from my grandson and great-granddaughter.
People always say that enjoying happiness when you are young is not happiness. Enjoying happiness when you are old is the real way to enjoy your old age!
The family chatted happily for a while and then left. Zhuang Sheng was still carrying gifts for each uncle, going door to door to deliver them. Since he met Chen Lei, he followed Chen Lei to his home first.
After delivering the things and chatting for a few minutes, he went to the homes of Chen Jianguo and Chen Jianguang.
The gifts have been given out, and there is not much else to do. Just wait for the New Year.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve.
Liu Ruonan started making dumplings with Chen Jianmin in the afternoon, while Zhuang Sheng and Gao Shu worked together in the kitchen preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. Gao Shanshan was a child who spent most of the New Year's Eve playing, rarely seen all day. She had a lot of fun playing with her long-lost friends.
At around four in the afternoon, the sound of firecrackers could still be heard sporadically outside. People of this generation took the Chinese New Year very seriously. During the New Year, they would always leave some fiery red firecracker shells at their doorsteps, and on New Year's Day, they would step on them to pay New Year's greetings.
Liu Ruonan was making dumplings while feeling the New Year atmosphere, which was a great feeling.
Not everyone is lucky enough to have the opportunity to be reborn and live the life they want.
Although her past life was too tragic, at least Liu Ruonan was living a happy life in this life. Moreover, she was pregnant with a new life, the fruit of her and Zhuang Sheng.
At around five o'clock, the sound of firecrackers became more and more frequent. Every household was setting off firecrackers outside. Children, wearing cotton clothes, found a corner, covered their ears and watched the firecrackers.
Zhuang Sheng also bought a lot of firecrackers. It was New Year's Eve, and he wanted good luck. Rural people had a saying that the more firecracker shells a family set off, the better off they would be.
In the past, Zhuang Sheng didn't care about these things, but now it was different. He was married, and his wife was pregnant with his offspring. Even if it was just for good luck, he had to set off more firecrackers.
Liu Ruonan, holding Chen Jianmin's arm, stood at the gate, watching Zhuang Sheng and Gao Shu set off firecrackers. Chen Shanshan happily ran around with her friends, going to see whichever family had nice fireworks. Then there was the sound of firecrackers, mingled with the children's cheers.
