Chapter 2 I feel like I married the right person
Therefore, she really needs pills such as Guyuan Pills, Qiangshen Jianti Pills, and Postpartum Recovery Pills.
Guyuan Pills replenish Qi and blood, and are most suitable for people with weak constitutions. The following explanation shows that no matter whether the weakness is congenital or acquired, just take one Guyuan Pill and your constitution will become the same as that of ordinary people and you will be in good health.
The effect of the Strengthening Body Pill is similar to that of the Guyuan Pill, but it is more suitable for children. She works hard to earn points so that she can exchange two for her two children.
To be honest, if she hadn't read this novel, she wouldn't have known she was pregnant, and with twins!
It is May 1962, and today is the 1st.
The birthdays of her two children in the book are December 25th.
People say that pregnancy lasts ten months, but in fact most people's pregnancy lasts about nine months.
Counting by the birthdays of the two children, she had been pregnant for almost a month at this time. Actually, there was no need to count, as she and Gu Jianhua had only been married for over a month.
Su He touched her lower abdomen and decided to go to the hospital to see a doctor after class today. This would be safer.
Since she knew in advance what would happen in the future, there was no way she would let it happen. She had to protect Gu Jianhua's life, her own life, and the lives of her two children even more.
If not everyone in their family lives to be a hundred, at least they will live to be seventy or eighty years old.
Keep your life and watch the prosperity of the future!
There are several important dates in the book: the Great Movement began in 1966, ended in 1976, the college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, the country began to reform and open up in 1978, the country's economic boom began in 1980, Hong Kong returned to China in 1997, Macau returned to China in 1999, and the Olympic Games were held in the capital of the motherland in 2008!
Su He thought that she and Gu Jianhua must live to see the year when the motherland hosts the Olympic Games, and then go to the capital to watch it. Well, if not, they could watch it on TV.
Anyway, we have to live, and live well!
I looked up at the system time. It was five o'clock in the morning. I couldn't sleep anymore, so I got up and read a book.
Earn points by reading books and redeem them for an amulet for her son Jianhua as soon as possible.
Su He learned from the book which war her son Jianhua participated in, the Sino-Indian border self-defense counter-attack war, which started in October this year and ended in November, and lasted about a month.
So she had to redeem the amulet and send it to him before October.
Su He folded the quilt, swept the kang with a small broom, and took the washbasin to wash her face and brush her teeth.
At this point her parents-in-law had already woken up.
When I went out, I saw my mother-in-law Zhao Jinzhi cooking in the kitchen. Seeing her come out with a wash basin, I was a little surprised and said, "Xiao He, why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Su He rubbed his eyes and said with a smile, "I don't know why, I couldn't sleep today, so I got up."
"You must be tired from your classes. I'll cook you an extra egg today to make up for it."
As she spoke, Mother Gu opened the cupboard, took out an egg from the egg basket, washed it, and put it into the corn porridge that she was preparing to cook.
The mother-in-law moved too quickly and Su He didn't have time to stop her.
She could only smile and say, "Thank you, Mom."
After washing up, Su He stayed in the room to read. She asked the system carefully and found out that you can get points by reading and doing exercises, provided that you are reading a serious book, not a story book.
She is reading a history book now.
About an hour later, her mother-in-law called her to eat.
Su He closed the book. Her breakfast consisted of cornmeal steamed buns, corn grits porridge, pickled vegetables, and two eggs for her.
"You're so thin, so eat more. When the cow gives birth, I'll squeeze some milk for you to drink." Mother Gu said as she peeled the egg and put it in Su He's bowl.
"Thank you, Mom." She smiled.
How should I put it? Su He feels that she has married the right person!
Not to mention Gu Jianhua's position in the military, just based on his character and his attitude towards her, he gave her a dowry of 100 yuan when they got married, and also bought her a watch and a bicycle.
In addition to these big items, there were also some small things, such as two pairs of small leather shoes, vanishing cream, scarves, clothes and so on.
Let's talk about his parents. In the more than one month since she got married, she has never cooked a meal, washed a dish, or cleaned the house. Even the floor of the room where she and Gu Jianhua slept was swept by her mother-in-law, and her clothes were washed by her mother-in-law.
As for food, she eats an egg every day. Half a month ago, her family stewed chicken and her mother-in-law gave her both chicken legs.
Not small chicken drumsticks, but big chicken drumsticks!
She wanted to do some work, but her mother-in-law wouldn't let her, saying that she was tired from classes every day and needed to rest when she got home, so they could do the work.
She didn’t know what daughters-in-law were like in later generations, but on the first day of Gu Li’s marriage to that male protagonist, she got up early to cook for her parents-in-law!
She said she wanted to leave a good impression on her mother-in-law.
Besides, there is no such person in this era. How dare a daughter-in-law not do work in her husband's house? The mother-in-law would like to let her daughter-in-law do all the work!
Not to mention not working for a month, many new brides start working from the second day after they get married.
So Su He felt that she had married the right person!
Hehe, he is indeed the man she personally chose!
"The baby will be born in more than a month. It will be soon." At this time, Gu's father took over.
Su He ate one egg and gave the other one to Gu's mother. "Mom, one is enough for me. You and Dad can eat this one."
Mother Gu refused to eat, but Su He insisted that she eat. Finally, Mother Gu peeled the egg and put it in Father Gu's bowl, saying, "You eat it, the head of the family."
Father Gu used chopsticks to divide the egg and put half into Mother Gu's bowl. "Let's eat together."
This era is not like the later generations in the books, where everyone can eat rice, white flour, meat and vegetables!
Let’s not talk about the Gu family, let’s talk about Su He’s own home.
Before she got married, there were six people in her family, and five of them had jobs.
My father Su Changyuan worked in a slaughterhouse killing pigs, my mother Chen Yuling worked as a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative, and my eldest brother Su Yue was in the army as a company commander. He was not married yet, but he sent money home every month.
The second brother Su Xiao works in a textile factory and earns a lot of money every month. As for her third brother Su Che, he is studying in Beijing and was admitted to Peking University. Although he doesn't have a job yet, he doesn't ask for money from his family and earns money as a tutor!
She also teaches at a county middle school, earning 22 yuan a month.
With their family's conditions, if not the best in the county, they are definitely among the best. The combined monthly income of their family of five is 200 yuan.
That doesn't mean we eat rice, white flour buns, meat and vegetables every day.
It’s not that I don’t eat, it’s that I can’t afford it!
You can eat meat twice a month!
It's like this in their family, let alone in the village.
So eggs are very precious.
Her parents-in-law raised more than ten chickens, which laid a lot of eggs. They were reluctant to eat them themselves, so they saved them and exchanged them for money and tickets at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Not easy!
I hope that in the future our motherland will be as prosperous as described in the book, and everyone will be able to eat well and wear warm clothes.
