It can’t be said to be a precedent, but everyone seems to have tacitly accepted the fact that family members will be treated to a meal when they come over.
If someone invites you, don't invite them if you can't manage your own household well.
However, there were just new arrivals in their family compound, so there wasn't so much going on, and Jiang Mengxue hadn't heard of any other families hosting dinner parties.
She was worried that if she took the lead, would other families also invite her to dinner? If she did, it would increase her family's pressure, and if she didn't, people would talk about her behind her back.
So when she first arrived, Jiang Mengxue suppressed this matter and never did it. After she arrived, she also asked other military wives about it, but no one had done this before.
So she didn't want to make a big fuss about it.
Eating with Lu Zhengming and his wife doesn't count, after all, the relationship between the two families is there, and the dinner is mutual. The couple also brings a lot of things, and many of Mo Bao's snacks and delicious food are given by them.
The two families have a good relationship, but Jiang Mengxue doesn't want to accept their things for free, so she often gives Han Siyue some skin-nourishing masks and the like.
She won't develop it herself, but she will take the things out of the packaging box and put them in other boxes.
A hydrating, whitening and repairing mask is exactly what you need at this time.
The weather in the northwest is full of sandstorms from time to time. The wind blows my face full of red bloodshot and my skin becomes rough.
Han Siyue also insisted on using facial cream, but it couldn't change the fact that her skin was getting worse and worse.
Ever since I started using the facial mask, my skin is at least not as rough anymore. If I pay more attention to it and protect it from wind and sun, it has really gotten much better.
The matter just passed, and the two didn't take it too seriously.
Jiang Mengxue didn't feel that she had reached the point where others had to recruit her, as there were many people who were more experienced and qualified than her.
In the next few days, I have been preparing for the arrival of Gu Zhenjiang and Li Cuiying.
Before they come, they will call Gu Qingbei to inform him of the approximate time the train will arrive.
Jiang Mengxue also checked her physical condition during this period.
If the period is delayed for several days, taking the pulse can confirm that you are really pregnant.
She didn't expect it to be so sudden. It's always different to prepare for a second child and to have it happen without any preparation.
She took a day off to go to the health center and have her pulse checked by a doctor.
She could have figured it out herself, but doctors don't treat themselves because they're worried that they might be careless and make inaccurate diagnoses.
Unexpectedly, the person she saw today was still Lin Jianhua.
Lin Jianhua had always been on the front lines before, and only settled down in the rear in recent years.
She didn't expect that she had just mentioned Jiang Mengxue's matter to the leader in charge of the job transfer of military wives in the army, and she came today to say that she was pregnant.
She couldn't believe it was such a coincidence, and felt Jiang Mengxue's pulse when she heard it.
With her experience, she knew it was true the moment she got on.
"It doesn't look like you have only one child this time. Although it's not very obvious since we're still pregnant, you should pay more attention to it."
Not one?
Jiang Mengxue was a little confused. Does this mean that she might be pregnant with twins?
But that's understandable. Twins already exist in her family. She and her sister are twins. She just didn't consider this before.
But now that it's there, there's no need to think too much about it.
Gu Qingbei has been very busy recently. When he came back at night, Jiang Mengxue was already asleep, and when he left in the morning, she was still asleep.
I haven't had time to talk to him about this.
However, she thought it would be okay to be careful in the first few months, so she wrote a letter to Gu's father and mother, and waited for her second uncle and second aunt to arrive before making any decision.
It was a rare occasion that Gu Qingbei came back early, and Jiang Mengxue was cooking.
Now the weather is getting colder, so I cooked a pot of spicy soup in the evening, which is just right to eat with butter cakes.
I just didn’t expect Gu Qingbei to come back so early today, so I didn’t prepare any meals for him.
Fortunately, Guan Dapeng helped him get a meal from the cafeteria and a roast chicken.
"Why are you back so early today? Are you done with your work?"
Gu Qingbei rarely brings his work home, and she doesn't know what he is busy with.
“Now that the general plan is out, I don’t need to keep an eye on the follow-up matters.
Is there anything going on at home recently? If there is anything, I have time to deal with it recently. "
Jiang Mengxue thought that there were indeed a lot of things.
"Are we going to harvest the vegetables in the fields? I don't know how they store them here. And we need to fix the toilet in the yard. Will it be able to withstand the snow in the winter? We also need to pave the yard properly.
I’m almost two months pregnant now, and it’s inconvenient for me to get up at night.”
Jiang Mengxue was still thinking about what needed to be renovated at home and didn't notice Gu Qingbei's confused expression halfway through his meal.
It has been so long since he last went home, and he doesn’t even know that his wife is pregnant again?
"When did you get pregnant? How long has it been? Are you sure? I...I'm going to be a father again?"
He was so excited that he was incoherent and didn't know how to describe his feelings.
He was not around when Mobao was pregnant, and he only found out about it when he received a letter from home.
Now my wife and children are by my side, and my wife is pregnant again. The excitement I feel is indescribable.
Jiang Mengxue then remembered that there was something she hadn't said. She really had forgotten.
She had thought of waiting until he was free to talk about it, but Gu Qingbei was very busy during that time and rarely even went home, so she forgot about it.
"I think I forgot to tell you. It's been two months. I went to see Comrade Lin Jianhua, and he said it might be twins. But it's not been that long, so the pulse isn't strong. I thought I'd go take the pulse in a couple of days to confirm it."
Jiang Mengxue said that she didn't have much experience in this area. She understood the theory, but the actual situation was definitely different.
It was only during this pregnancy that she realized that it was indeed different.
She was only two months pregnant, and in less than three months her belly was already slightly bulging.
When I was pregnant with Mobao, I didn't feel anything for three or four months, and even in the later stages, I didn't feel much.
But this time it was different. I was so tired without doing anything all day that I couldn’t even wake up after sleeping for fifteen or sixteen hours.
During this period, Han Siyue often came to help take care of Mobao and took him to the clinic to play during the day.
Gu Qingbei didn’t know what had happened at home during this period. Sometimes when he came home too late, he would go straight back to the dormitory and sleep for a few hours.
"I don't have much to do these days, so I can take the calligraphy. My second uncle just called me this morning and they'll be here on the train this afternoon.
But the journey is quite long and I can’t get there in a short time. I will come back early during this period.
I'll ask which sister-in-law in the family compound is free to come over and cook you lunch. The food in the cafeteria is rather bland and vegetarian, and you won't be able to eat well."
