Chapter 24: Helping Second Sister Give Birth

"Is it true?" Second Sister Gu asked doubtfully.

She knew that her brother and sister-in-law met at the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative and then fell in love with each other. She didn't know that her brother and sister-in-law had had a dream about it for several days before that.

Is this true or false?

Of course it was fake, Su He was just making it up. She had initially thought that Gu Jianhua was tall and handsome and was wearing a military uniform, which immediately touched her heart, so she chased him and confessed her love to him.

There is no such thing as a dream.

"Really? It's just that I can't see the face clearly because it's blurry, but that feeling can't be wrong."

Sister Gu smiled and said, "Then you two are really destined to meet."

Su He also smiled and said, "So, second sister, just relax and wait. This baby is guaranteed to be a son."

Sister Gu showed a happy expression, "I hope so."

She added, "I heard from my mother that you had a dream a few days ago that two kids called you mom, one boy and one girl."

"Yes, I dreamt about it. I was quite surprised at that time." Su He nodded.

She wasn't making this up; she really had a dream about it.

Second sister Gu touched her belly and said, "Maybe you are carrying two babies."

Su He said, "You can tell if you have two babies in the later stages of pregnancy." The belly of a woman with two babies will definitely be bigger than one, and the fetal movements will also be different.

Sister Gu sat for a while and then went back.

Gu's mother told her not to travel back and forth for the next few days. Although their homes were not far from each other, she was pregnant and what if her water broke during the trip?

How unsafe!

Second Sister Gu responded and went back with the help of the eldest lady.

Looking at the two people's backs, Gu's mother chattered to Su He, "The girl is also very good. She can understand and help her mother."

"When I gave birth to your third sister and Jianhua, your eldest and second sisters took care of them, and they also took care of me during the confinement period."

Mother Gu felt sorry for her eldest and second daughters. They had suffered a lot at the hands of that old witch before the family was divided, and now they have started their own families and become mothers.

The old couple tried their best to help wherever they could.

The son is the important point, but she loves the girl too, they are all her children.

Su He: "Everything is fine. My sons and daughters are my treasures."

This is what her parents said to the four siblings.

Mother Gu smiled and said, "Yes."

Sister Gu started the experiment at midnight on July 23, and by dawn the baby was already born.

If I wish it was a son.

Gu's second sister and her husband were very happy. At last, they didn't have to be criticized when they went out to work.

At dawn, the second brother-in-law Wang Erhu came to announce the good news. Gu's mother asked Gu's father to kill a chicken on the spot. After breakfast, Gu's father and mother took the killed chicken, a basket of eggs and a bottle of butter, and went to visit their daughter.

The second sister Gu burst into tears the moment she saw her mother. She said,

"Mom, I finally gave birth to a son."

She no longer has to endure the anger of her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law.

Mother Gu touched her daughter's head and said, "Good girl, you've worked hard. Have a good rest. I'll stew a chicken for you."

Second sister Gu burst into laughter and said, "Mom, we have chickens at home, you don't have to give them to your younger siblings."

"Our family still needs this chicken from you. Your brother and sister-in-law have enough to eat. Besides, don't worry, your brother and sister-in-law are not that kind of people." Mother Gu understood what her daughter was thinking.

But Gu's mother has been living with Su He for half a year. Doesn't she know her daughter-in-law's personality?

If you say she likes her daughter-in-law, there is a reason. Apart from the work, she also gave eggs, chickens and other things from home to the two girls without Xiao He saying a word.

Or just ignore it and don't care about these little things.

Her second daughter came home every few days, bringing her daughter with her. Every time she came, Xiao He would take out delicious food for the children.

Rock sugar, caozigao, and later milk candy, and a few days ago I even made some milk powder to drink.

Gu's mother asked herself, if someone came to their house every few days, she would not be able to entertain them like this.

Second sister Gu laughed. Her sister-in-law wouldn't think too much about it, but she couldn't always eat her mother's food.

Mother Gu said, "Okay, go get some sleep. You've been busy all night."

Gu's mother stayed to cook, while Gu's father took a look at the girl and went to the fields.

He still had to do the work in the fields, and he felt relieved to have his daughter in law taken care of by his old wife.

Su He knew that Second Sister Gu had given birth to a baby, and vaguely heard the voice of Second Brother-in-law, so she got up, had breakfast, and came to Second Sister Gu's place.

Not coming empty-handed.

She bought a roll of cloth from the system mall, the kind with a white background and flowers, a very long roll of cloth, and cheap, only two system points.

Also took a bottle of butter.

Two things.

Second sister Gu was embarrassed and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you carrying so many things?"

It's made of cloth and butter.

Su He said, "Second sister, you can eat the butter. As for the cloth, use it to make new clothes for the children. It's enough for four children."

She said as she unfolded the cloth.

Second sister Gu thought that Su He had taken enough cloth for the newborn baby, but she didn't expect it to be such a long roll.

She said, "Sister-in-law, you have too much cloth. Please keep some for yourself! This old cloth must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"It didn't cost much. My second brother got the inferior cloth from the textile factory. The men in the family couldn't use it, so my mother kept some and gave the rest to me."

"I just thought that you have many children, so I brought it to you, second sister." Su He said without hesitation.

These words warmed Second Sister Gu's heart. She said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Su He, "Why are you being polite, second sister? We are family."

The clothes of Gu Erjie's three daughters all had patches on them. Not just one patch, but many.

And it’s neither too big nor too small, and it’s almost too big to wear.

She had never seen any of the daughters of her eldest sister Gu, so she didn't know what their temperaments were like, but she liked the three daughters of her second sister Gu very much, and her second sister Gu taught them very well.

They are all polite, sensible and hardworking girls.

At this time, except for the eldest child who was helping Mother Gu in the kitchen, the second and third children were in Second Sister Gu's room. They were very happy when they heard Su He say that she would make new clothes for them.

Their faces were filled with joy, and if they were not forbidden, both children would have wanted to jump a few times.

Second Sister Gu looked at the children and said to the two girls, "I will make it for you now that I am out of confinement. It will be just in time for school to start in September, so you can wear it."

The two kids were surprised and asked, "Really? Mom?"

Sister Gu nodded, "Really."

The two kids cheered, "That's great, Mom!"

Everyone, whether adults or children, likes new clothes. Su He is no exception. She also likes new clothes.

For Gu Erjie’s postpartum meal, Gu’s mother cooked millet porridge. Millet is considered a fine grain, but they grow it here, so they can just buy it from the production team, and they don’t need grain coupons.

In addition to millet porridge, there is also stewed chicken and boiled eggs.

Second Sister Gu asked Su He if she wanted to eat with her. How could Su He eat other people's confinement meals? She shook her head and said, "I just ate it and it's still there!"

Indeed, it is holding on.

Although it was a confinement meal, Second Sister Gu did not eat it alone. She gave two pieces of chicken to each of the three girls, and also gave them chicken soup to drink.

Of course, she also left some for her man, including the gizzards, head, feet, and neck, all of which had meat when you chewed them.

My second brother-in-law also enjoyed the meal.
