Chapter 86 Chapter 86 The baby in my belly must be greedy! ...
Zhuo Jia was sitting on the lower bunk. Thinking of Qiao Anchuan's shocked look just now, she couldn't help but laugh. In fact, she hadn't thought of telling Qiao Anchuan so early. After all, she hadn't gone to the hospital for a check-up yet.
But she was sure, because her period was already more than ten days late, and her period had always been regular before, but...
Thinking of Qiao Anchuan's reluctant look as he stood outside the train, she couldn't bear it, and the result of not being able to bear it was that she couldn't help but tell Qiao Anchuan the good news!
I believe that with this good news, Comrade Qiao Anchuan will not just stand there helplessly!
Yes, Qiao Anchuan, who was shocked by the good news, did not just stand there and watch, because he almost ran after the train. His wife was pregnant, and he was going to be a father, and then his wife left on the train!
Qiao Anchuan, who was already worried, quickly made a phone call. He had to tell Peng Kuo that he couldn't just wait outside this time and had to go to the train to pick him up!
On the train, Zhuo Jia was completely calm, completely unaware of Qiao Anchuan's nervousness. She even had the mood to open her lunch box and eat the egg pancake inside. Well, although it was a little cold, it was not inedible. The point was who made her hungry?
Oh, and this is one of the reasons why she is sure she is pregnant:
She had never been so greedy before!
It must be the baby in her belly who is greedy!
The person on the lower bunk next to her saw how deliciously she was eating and couldn't help but take out an egg from her bag, and then ate it with a crunch.
Zhuo Jia was eating an omelet with both hands. When she heard the sound, she subconsciously looked up and saw the other person peeling eggs. When he met her gaze, he smiled at her, and then Zhuo Jia also smiled.
Very good, it looks like the journey ahead will be smooth!
As Zhuo Jia expected, the rest of the journey was really smooth because she met an acquaintance, the flight attendant that Peng Kuo brought with her when she came here!
The flight attendant was stunned when she saw Zhuo Jia, then smiled and said, "Are we going back?"
When Peng Kuo asked him to help look after someone, he said that this person was a military dependent and had gone to visit relatives. He also asked him to help look after the person if he saw him coming back. He thought he had missed him because he hadn't seen him. However, he didn't expect that the person had just returned and it had been almost two months.
Zhuo Jia smiled and nodded, and said frankly: "Yes, I have to go back."
She knew that it was really advisable for her to go out this time!
After saying a few more words, the flight attendant left. However, he came back at lunch time and took the initiative to help Zhuo Jia get hot water and serve her food.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
Under normal circumstances, she might have refused, but since she was in a special situation, she did not refuse, but expressed her gratitude to the other party very sincerely.
While waiting for the train, she originally wanted to give the other party some local specialties that she brought back from the staff quarters, but when she saw a bunch of attendants there, she thought about it and decided to give all the things to Peng Kuo and ask Peng Kuo to pass them on to her.
She was not in a hurry to get off the bus. She just sat there, packed her things and waited until there were fewer people around before getting off.
At this time, Peng Kuo had already made it to the platform, and quickly learned from the familiar attendant which berth Zhuo Jia was in, and squeezed in against the flow of people.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She was stunned when she saw Peng Kuo. When she came to her senses, she really wanted to ask Comrade Qiao Anchuan if he had saved Peng Kuo's life. Otherwise, how could he have such a dedicated friend.
Peng Kuo didn't say much. When he saw her, he called her "sister-in-law" and then picked up the luggage next to her, a suitcase and a backpack, and walked downstairs. From time to time, he turned back and asked Zhuo Jia to slow down, not to be in a hurry, and not to squeeze.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She was not stupid. Seeing Peng Kuo's cautious look, she immediately knew that it was Qiao Anchuan who told others about her pregnancy.
So what could she say? She could only smile at him, but in her heart she cursed Qiao Anchuan. He was so quick-witted. She told Qiao Anchuan that she was pregnant when she got on the train, and Qiao Anchuan told everyone about it when she got off.
Just wait, the first thing she will do when she gets home is to write a letter to Qiao Anchuan. She will scold Qiao Anchuan severely!
Not long after getting off the train, Zhuo Jia felt even more embarrassed because Peng Kuo didn't come to pick her up alone, but came with his girlfriend.
As if sensing her shock, Peng Kuo laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, your sister-in-law is a doctor in the hospital. It's just right for her to take you to the hospital for a checkup, in case you feel unwell."
His brother is 25 this year, no, it's been another year and he's already 26, and he finally has a child. So in his opinion, it's never too careful, otherwise, what if something really happens...
He felt that he might not even have the face to see Qiao Anchuan even after he died!
Zhuo Jia swallowed and quickly greeted: "Hello sister-in-law, I'm really sorry to bother you."
At this moment, Zhuo Jia cursed Qiao Anchuan over and over again in her heart. What sin had she committed?
Tang Li was a straightforward person. She waved her hand and said, "It's no problem. You're not a stranger. Come on, I'll take you there right now."
She also knew Qiao Anchuan. Although he didn't come to her wedding with Lao Peng, he came with gifts to their wedding and the wedding of their two children. Later, when Qiao Anchuan married Zhuo Jia, she also went with Lao Peng.
"Okay." Zhuo Jia nodded obediently.
She hasn't been to the hospital since she became pregnant, so this is a good opportunity to go and get checked out.
So Peng Kuo took the two of them to the vicinity of the hospital, dropped them off in the car, said they would wait for them at home and left. Well, the warm-hearted couple had already packed her lunch and said that after lunch, she could take a nap at home and then let Peng Kuo take her home.
Tang Li looked at Zhuo Jia and whispered, "Let's not go to the hospital. I'll take you to the alley next to us. There's an old Chinese doctor there who retired from our hospital. He's this."
At the end, Tang Li gave a thumbs up with admiration. When she gave birth to her second child, she had a difficult delivery and no one could do anything about it. It was the old lady who came to her rescue and both mother and daughter were safe.
This lady is truly amazing. Not only has she saved countless people, but she has also brought up countless amazing doctors. So even though she is an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner, no one dares to touch her.
Zhuo Jia's eyes lit up even more, and she said excitedly, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
She is not stupid. If such a powerful person does not have an acquaintance to lead her, not to mention that she does not know the existence of such a person, even if she knows, she is afraid that if she goes to him rashly, he may not pay attention to her!
Tang Li told her not to be so polite, as the relationship between the two families would last a long time.
Soon they arrived outside a courtyard. The gate was open and an old lady was inside...
Growing vegetables?
Zhuo Jia couldn't help but tighten her scarf. The weather was so cold, how could this old lady grow vegetables?
Tang Li knocked on the door politely and walked in with Zhuo Jia: "Grandma Meng, I brought my sister-in-law to see you."
The old lady who was planting vegetables looked up and, well, pushed...
Maybe reading glasses?
Then he slowly asked, "What's wrong with your sister-in-law?"
She looked at the female comrade with red lips, white teeth, and a rosy face. She could tell she was in good health. Why did she want to see her?
Tang Li said, "It's nothing. I'm just pregnant. I'm not even two months pregnant yet, and I took a long train ride. So I asked you to help take a look."
As he spoke, he took the tools from the old lady's hand and helped to hoe the ground. His skillful posture made Zhuo Jia feel ashamed. She felt that she might never be so skilled in doing farm work in her life!
It was obvious that the old lady was already accustomed to what Tang Li did. She waved to Zhuo Jia and said, "Go sit by the table and wait for me. I'll come right after I wash my hands."
She felt that Tang Li was just being too suspicious. Looking at her sister-in-law, it didn't look like anything was wrong!
Zhuo Jia didn't say much and sat obediently on the chair next to the table. When the old lady came over, she put her hand on her, and then she saw Tang Li, who was doing farm work, also coming over.
The old lady ignored Tang Li and took Zhuo Jia's pulse. After a while, she said, "It's less than a month. It's okay. You're in good health. Just go home and rest."
There was one thing she didn't say, which was that she had seen so many people, whether pregnant or not, and few could compare to the comrade in front of her.
Although this female comrade suffered a lot in her childhood, she has been well taken care of recently, so the child has no problem at all even on a long and bumpy train ride.
A smile flashed in Zhuo Jia's eyes, and she thanked him obediently: "Thank you, Grandma Tang."
She knows that being nice to others is just empty talk, and being nice to yourself is the real benefit!
After making sure that Zhuo Jia was fine, Tang Li no longer wanted to help Grandma Tang hoe the fields. She said she would come to see Grandma Tang another day and left with Zhuo Jia.
Grandma Tang: “…”
She shook her head, picked up the hoe and continued to turn the soil, but she was thinking in her heart, why didn't she know that Xiao Tang had a younger brother and sister before?
Humph, you only know how to coax the old lady!
On the other side, Tang Li and Zhuo Jia didn't walk far before they arrived at their own yard. She led Zhuo Jia inside and said with a smile, "We have two children at home. They are not obedient at all and are quite chaotic."
This is what it looks like after she specially cleaned it up. Otherwise, this house would be too ugly to be seen in public!
Zhuo Jia smiled and said, "How can it be messy? My sister-in-law's house is not messy at all, it's quite clean. It seems that these two children must be very obedient."
She had nothing to say, because she didn't have any children at home, but her house wasn't necessarily much cleaner than Tang Li's.
So she felt that if she didn't admit it, she would be worse than the two disobedient children!
Tang Li was so happy with her words that she said with a smile, "No, you can see them after school. They are so naughty."
They were like two devils, making her and Lao Peng so angry every day that they wanted to beat someone up, and there was never a peaceful day at home.
Because Zhuo Jia was pregnant, Tang Li let Zhuo Jia rest in the room of her two children when she got home, while she went to the kitchen to help cook.
When walking towards the two children's rooms, Zhuo Jia saw Peng Kuo busy in the kitchen. She almost laughed out loud. Well, no wonder Qiao Anchuan and Peng Kuo became friends. It seems that they most likely met in the kitchen!
The two children's room had bunk beds. Zhuo Jia didn't move around, but just sat down on the lower bunk, still thinking about something. As a result, she might have been too tired and fell asleep leaning on the pillow.
When Zhuo Jia woke up again, she was awakened by the smell from the kitchen. She rubbed her eyes and walked out in a daze, then saw two children running around in the yard, a boy and a girl. The brother was about nine years old and the sister was five years old.
"Mom and Dad, Auntie is awake." Seeing Zhuo Jia, the boy shouted loudly towards the kitchen.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She suddenly agreed with what Mrs. Tang said. This kid is a troublemaker. Why is she making so much noise? Now all the neighbors will probably know that she just woke up!
"Aunt, my name is Xiaowei and my sister is Xiaohui." Tang Li and Peng Kuo's son was a familiar face. Seeing that Zhuo Jia didn't speak, he ran to Zhuo Jia, raised his head and spoke loudly.
Zhuo Jia glanced at the child's bright eyes, and then glanced at Xiaohui who kept looking over here but didn't dare to come over. Well, the difference between this brother and sister is too big, one is outgoing and the other is shy.
She waved to Xiaohui and said, "Xiaohui, come here, I'll give you some candy."
Of course, she did not show favoritism and did not forget to give Xiaowei two pieces of candy while she was talking.
Xiaowei's eyes lit up when he got the White Rabbit Milk Candy. He knew White Rabbit Milk Candy. It was the most expensive candy in the supply and marketing cooperative, and his parents would only buy it for him on his birthday.
Xiao Wei, who knew what was good and what was bad, immediately waved to his sister: "Sister, come here, this is White Rabbit milk candy, it's delicious."
When talking about White Rabbit Milk Candy, he knew to lower his voice so that his parents wouldn't hear.
Zhuo Jia glanced at Mrs. Tang who was standing at the door and looking at them with a dark face. She couldn't help but chuckle. Hahaha, Xiaowei's eyes are full of White Rabbit milk candies, and he can't see his old mother at all.
Xiaohui walked slowly to Zhuojia's side and called softly, "Hello, Auntie. My name is Xiaohui."
After saying this, the little girl seemed a little embarrassed, and hid behind her brother with a swish. Of course, she did not forget to peek at Zhuo Jia, or rather, the candy in Zhuo Jia's hand.
Xiaowei said angrily, "Sister, are you stupid? Why did you take the candy and then hide?"
How can I hide with nothing?
Tang Li, who was standing at the kitchen door, couldn't stand it any longer. She walked over with a dark face, grabbed Xiao Wei's ear and asked, "Who are you calling stupid? Didn't I tell you not to ask for other people's things casually?"
It's so shameful, so shameful. It's the first time that Lao Peng's brother's wife comes to visit, and her son is so disrespectful to her?
What's going on? Is it that his family doesn't feed him enough or something? Why does he have to be so embarrassing? The most important thing is that not only does he embarrass himself, he also wants to embarrass his sister as well!
"Mom, mom, I was wrong, but this is my aunt, not anyone else." Xiaowei begged for mercy while correcting the mistakes in his mother's words.
Well, at this moment he didn’t consider at all that his ears were still in someone else’s hands.
Zhuo Jia was watching the joke from the side. It was impossible for her to stop him. She even pulled the little girl who wanted to plead for her brother to her side, peeled a White Rabbit candy and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Is it delicious?"
While she was speaking, she also glanced at Xiaowei who was being scolded. Although the child admitted his mistake, his black eyes were rolling around, and it was obvious that he was not very convinced.
After taking a look, she quickly turned her head back. In order to avoid giving birth to such a naughty son in the future, she decided to take more looks at the well-behaved little girl.
The well-behaved little girl said with sparkling eyes: "Mm, it's delicious. Thank you, auntie."
After saying that, the little girl smiled shyly at Zhuo Jia.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
I don’t know whether Mrs. Tang will allow her to take Xiaohui away and send her back after she gives birth. I really want to have such a well-behaved daughter. I’m so envious!
It wasn't long before it was time for dinner. Zhuo Jia looked at Xiao Wei's red ears, then glanced at Xiao Hui who ran over to blow her brother's hair. She couldn't help but cover her chest and said, "Sister-in-law Tang, when you have nothing to do, bring the two children to play with me."
If you can't take care of both children, it's ok to just take care of Xiaohui.
Tang Li had no idea what she was thinking. When she heard her words, she smiled and said, "Okay, when I'm not working and the kids are not in school, I'll bring them to play with you."
Although we have known each other for a short time, I can tell that this sister-in-law loves children!
When it was time for dinner, Zhuo Jia found that the troublemaker Xiaowei had become well-behaved and knew how to take care of his younger sister. She had to say that Mrs. Tang and her husband had really taught their children very well!
After dinner, they rested for a while. When the two children went to school hand in hand, Zhuo Jia also asked to go home. She really missed her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
While Peng Kuo was driving, Zhuo Jia put the specialties she brought on the table, and then strolled away!
…
After returning home, Zhuo Jia didn't have to worry about the rest. Peng Kuo was sent away by her father-in-law and elder brother, while she was taken home by her mother-in-law and elder sister-in-law, one on each side.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
So, I really can’t blame her for always wanting to come back. It’s really so comfortable to be home.
Returning to her own courtyard, Zhuo Jia said excitedly: "Mom, sister-in-law, I miss you so much."
This is absolutely true. She has been away for such a long time and has never thought about anyone else except her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Liu Hongying looked at her and asked, "Why did you stay there for so long? Didn't Lao Er let you come back?"
When he left, he said he would be back in a month, but he stayed until now. If the second child hadn't called to report that he was safe, she would have worried that something had happened!
Zhuo Jia blinked her eyes and told her mother-in-law with a well-behaved face that she had been on a long trip.
Liu Hongying: “…”
Wow, so this is not just a simple visit to relatives, the second brother’s family is really busy!
Then Zhuo Jia told her what happened outside. Oh, and finally she didn't forget to tell her mother-in-law and sister-in-law about her pregnancy. Then she looked at her mother-in-law and sister-in-law eagerly:
She wants delicious food and drinks!
However, Liu Hongying's first reaction was: "The second brother didn't even tell us about this!"
It seems that the second one is itching for trouble!
The most important thing is that Jiajia had just gotten pregnant, and the second brother dared to let Jiajia take the train back alone, and the train was so crowded...
No, she’ll have to beat the second brother up when he comes back!
Feeling guilty, Zhuo Jia quickly explained, "Well, it's not Qiao Anchuan's fault. He only found out when I got on the train."
To be honest, if she hadn't seen Qiao Anchuan looking at her eagerly, she probably wouldn't have told Qiao Anchuan about this.
Liu Hongying couldn't hear what was said. She just looked at Zhuo Jia and asked worriedly, "How long have you been pregnant? Are you feeling unwell?"
There are so many people on the train. If someone gets bumped into someone, she'll be vomiting to death. You know, she's already 26, and it's so hard for her to have a child...
The more Liu Hongying thought about it, the more worried she became. She wished she could drag Zhuo Jia to get checked right away.
Zhuo Jia quickly said, "Mom, it's been less than a month. I'm not feeling unwell. When I was in the county, Sister Tang took me for a checkup."
What a sin! Look how scared her mother-in-law is!
Hearing that the matter had been checked at the county level, Liu Hongying finally breathed a sigh of relief. Without waiting for anything else to be said, she stood up and said, "You take a rest. I'll go kill a chicken and give you a good tonic tonight. You've lost so much weight recently."
After saying this, he walked out in a hurry again. Humph, fortunately Zhuo Jia came back, otherwise, how could a grown man from the second family know how to take care of a pregnant woman!
Seeing her mother-in-law like this, Zhuo Jia swallowed her saliva and asked her sister-in-law cautiously: "Did something happen at home during the time I was away? Why do I feel that our mother-in-law has become more decisive?"
Although she left in a swift and decisive manner, it was not to this extent. It's quite scary!
Qian Yulan was amused by her words, but after looking outside and confirming that her mother-in-law had gone back to the old courtyard to catch chickens, she whispered, "You went to visit relatives before the New Year, so you didn't know. Our mother-in-law was praised by the Women's Federation of the commune. They said she did a good job and that if the Women's Federation of the commune is short of people in the future, they will give priority to our mother-in-law."
Because of this, her mother-in-law worked harder and more vigorously after the New Year. If Zhuo Jia hadn't come back today, she might not have been able to see her mother-in-law.
Zhuo Jia was shocked. She looked at her sister-in-law and asked, "Is our mother-in-law so ambitious?"
Her father-in-law hadn't even considered going to the commune yet, but her mother-in-law had. No, not really thinking about it, but already working towards it, but...
She thought of what her sister-in-law had just said, and the corners of her mouth twitched. She didn't expect that her mother-in-law would actually buy into the promise made by the leader of the Women's Federation of the commune. Tsk tsk.
But she is different. Not only does she not want to buy into the promises made by her leader, she can no longer have a leader.
Qian Yulan smiled and said, "You came late and you don't know, my mother-in-law is more serious about her work than my father-in-law."
She spoke the last few words very quietly.
Ahem, it wasn't that her father-in-law wasn't serious about his work, it was just that the two of them were serious in different ways. One didn't seek credit but only wanted to avoid mistakes, while the other...
That means everything is required to be perfect!
Zhuo Jia's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but look at her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, your summary is really perfect."
But it cannot be spread outside!
Qian Yulan was amused by her and said, "By the way, are you tired? Do you want to take a nap?"
She didn't forget that her sister-in-law was pregnant.
Zhuo Jia shook her head: "I'm not sleepy. I rested at Sister Tang's house this morning."
But, she touched her stomach. Although she was not sleepy, she was hungry.
Thinking of this, she touched her stomach with her hand and looked at her sister-in-law pitifully: "Sister-in-law, I'm hungry again!"
And she ate a lot at noon today. At this moment, she finally had a clear understanding of her good appetite.
Qian Yulan smiled, thought for a moment, and asked, "How about I make you an omelet?"
She felt that her only skill was in making pancakes!
However, Comrade Zhuo Jia thought about it, swallowed her saliva and said, "No, my mother-in-law is stewing chicken tonight, and I have to save my stomach. I'll just have a bowl of milk powder. Sister-in-law, do you have hot water at home?"
Although I am hungry, I still have to think about dinner in the evening!
Hearing this, Qian Yulan immediately stood up, picked up the thermos in the main room and said, "Wait, I'll go get you some hot water!"
Not long after, Qian Yulan came back with hot water and helped Zhuo Jia prepare the milk powder. She then ran to the kitchen to help light the stove, which was the serious business.
Zhuo Jia couldn't stay idle. She chased to the kitchen and asked her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, where are Xiaoru and Xiaopeng? Why don't I see them?"
Qiao Wei must have gone to school, but where are the two little ones? Why hasn’t she seen them? She missed them so much after such a long time.
Qian Yulan was making a fire. When she heard this, she looked up and smiled, saying, "They're at my mother's house. They had a blast playing with my brother's kids. They wouldn't come back, but your eldest brother went to pick them up. Knowing you're back, the two kids must have followed you back."
These two children stayed at her mother's house for quite a long time. She brought them back when she went back to her mother's house, but she couldn't bring them back. Once, she went to deliver food, and was scolded by her eldest brother and sister-in-law!
Zhuo Jia: "..."
Although her sister-in-law said it with a smile, she always felt that she sensed a strong resentment.
So she shrank her neck and didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear that the two kids would come back and beat her!
