One morning, Tingting and Jianjun were having congee with preserved egg and lean pork. Tingting said to Jianjun, "Honey, it's my turn, but I haven't gotten my period yet. Am I pregnant?"
After swallowing a large mouthful of porridge, Jianjun said excitedly, "Then you should hurry up and use the life detector you bought at the pharmacy!"
"What time is it, and you're still joking?" Tingting said, glancing at him.
As he came out of the restroom, he saw the display above, and all three of them had two lines.
"Oh my god, am I going to be a dad? This is the first time I've been a father in two lifetimes. Jianjun picked up Tingting and kissed her."
"Put me down quickly. Let's wait until three months have passed before telling Mom and Dad."
"Then you should stay indoors as much as possible during this time. After all, it's slippery when it snows, so don't get hurt. Don't worry, Jianjun."
Tingting is pregnant now, but she has no symptoms at all and eats and drinks normally.
Having heard the good news today, Tingting plans to eat more beef and pork liver, which are good for replenishing blood. She has eaten quite a lot, and now she feels sleepy all the time while lying on the kang (heated brick bed).
Jianjun spends his days shoveling snow and spending time with Tingting, taking out books from his storage space to provide prenatal education for the baby.
This is a child that two people have been longing for for two generations, and they have poured their hearts into it.
"Jianjun, I want to eat snail rice noodles."
"This is too spicy, eat less," Jianjun said, watching over Tingting.
"No, I really want to eat it, just this once!" Tingting pleaded. "Hurry up and cook it for me!"
There was no other way but for lunch, the two of them had snail rice noodles, and the whole house smelled delicious after they finished eating.
Jianjun told Tingting to cover herself with the blanket and open the window from the inside of the room. Nowadays, all the windows in Northeast China open inwards.
After all, they were worried that the snow in Northeast China would be too heavy and the windows and doors would be impossible to open. Opening the windows from the inside would allow them to go out even if they couldn't be opened directly.
A cool breeze blew in, slowly dispelling the smell in the room. Jianjun then washed some fruit for Tingting, who wanted to eat watermelon.
Cut the watermelon and place it in front of us. Take off your shoes and get on the kang (heated brick bed). Ask Tingting to take out her phone and take a picture to record the feelings of becoming parents for the first time, and the young faces of the two of us, so we can look back on it slowly when we are old.
Before they knew it, it was Chinese New Year. The two of them had eight-treasure porridge for breakfast, and then a copper hot pot with pickled cabbage and sliced mutton for lunch. For dinner, they planned to go to the old house and brought a lot of rabbits and chickens. The two of them trudged across the snow.
"Mom, Dad, we're here! Oh, come in quickly! You two have brought so many things. You've gone up the mountain again."
"Yes, Dad, Tingting is pregnant. I went to the mountains to find some wild game to give her more nutrition. After all, how can a pregnant woman not eat meat?"
Aunt Guo was quite happy to hear that Tingting was pregnant. After all, the year was almost over and she was 23, but she still didn't have a child of her own. "Well, today is both the New Year and Tingting's pregnancy, let's cook more meat and have a good New Year."
"Tingting, eat more chicken later. Don't eat rabbit since you're pregnant," Sister-in-law Guo said with concern.
"Sister-in-law, I understand." Although both sisters-in-law have their own thoughts, this family is not bad, and they are quite united now.
Tingting felt that she was quite lucky to be able to come with Jianjun and meet this family. Although each member had their own flaws, no one is perfect, and they were better off than those scheming people.
The family celebrated the New Year amidst heavy snow, enjoying a table full of meat. Tingting and Jianjun then took out some milk candy and distributed it to the children.
Where did this come from? I hunted a pheasant in the mountains and traded it in the city. You're being dangerous here. You were just thinking of giving the kids something nice to eat for the New Year.
Guo's mother was also a little sad. She imagined her son going hunting in the snow and suffering a lot. She was also happy that her son had grown up. She thought that she couldn't cry during the New Year. She also smiled when she thought that she would soon be able to hold her third child.
This is Jianjun and Tingting's second New Year in this era. They have their own child and so many family members now.
