Whether or not Liu can have New Year's Eve dinner together is not important. What is important is that the baby in her belly really cannot be allowed to grow too big.
Everyone loves a big, chubby baby boy, but if the child is too big, the mother suffers a lot during childbirth. There are no cesarean sections here, so there are many cases of mother and baby dying together or the mother leaving the child.
Yue Jiuyue knew that Liu Shi wouldn't listen to her, which is why she reminded Lin Chaodong to take Liu Shi to the clinic after the New Year. She wouldn't listen to her, but surely she would listen to the doctor.
"Okay! Thank you, Mother!"
Lin Chaodong was so excited that he wished it were already the beginning of spring after the New Year.
Yue Jiuyue asked him to take Liu Shi to see a doctor. He didn't think the worst, but he felt that his mother also valued Liu Shi's pregnancy, otherwise why would she be willing to spend money to take Liu Shi to see a doctor?
You have to understand that in those days, pregnant women in rural areas would find out they were pregnant either because their period was late, or because of morning sickness, or even because they were several months pregnant. It wasn't unusual at all, and very few families would even consult a midwife to check if they were pregnant.
But Lin Chaodong had more to think about than just that. He wanted to ask the doctor himself if he could tell him that Liu was carrying a boy.
They had been married for five years and only had one child, Xiaoman'er. If it weren't for Xiaoman'er, who was always there to bring him joy, he would have suspected that Liu Shi was infertile.
He's just an ordinary person; he would never doubt himself.
"Just don't forget when the time comes. Now hurry up and eat, it's getting cold."
"Mom's cooking is so delicious!"
The three brothers praised her, which pleased Yue Jiuyue greatly.
Each person got a fried chicken leg, and they could eat whatever else they wanted. The three Lin brothers also toasted Yue Jiuyue with a glass of wine, a grain liquor with a low alcohol content, probably around ten degrees. Yue Jiuyue thought it tasted pretty good and couldn't resist drinking a couple more glasses.
Lying on the warm kang (heated brick bed), Yue Jiuyue felt as if she were floating on clouds.
She knew it was because she had drunk too much, but she also knew that she wasn't drunk; at most, she was just a little dizzy, but her mind was clear.
The task of staying up all night was for men, so Yue Jiuyue naturally lay in her warm bed and slept soundly.
The next day, Yue Jiuyue woke up at the usual time. She didn't have a hangover headache, but her eyes felt stuffy and it was hard to open them.
This is because people who sleep on heated kang beds get too hot, which is normal in winter. The main reason is that Yue Jiuyue drank too much last night and slept too soundly, so she didn't wake up thirsty in the middle of the night to drink water.
"Mom! Happy New Year! I wish you a long and healthy life, and that all your wishes come true!"
Happy New Year, Grandma!
"Mom, Happy New Year! I wish you good health and happiness every day!"
As soon as Yue Jiuyue opened the door, she was startled by Lin Chaobei, who jumped over to give her New Year's greetings, followed by Xiaoman'er and Lin Chaonan, who was cooking.
Yue Jiuyue: (￣ｏ￣)
Oh no! She slept too soundly last night and was too groggy this morning; she forgot to prepare the New Year's money!
Happy Chinese New Year! Happy Chinese New Year to everyone! I hope everyone will be better off than last year in the new year!
After saying that, Yue Jiuyue washed up in a very generous manner. After she finished washing up, she went back to her room and put on her new coat. Then she quickly prepared the red envelopes and went out to distribute them one by one.
As for Lin Chaodong and Liu Shi, who didn't come to wish her a Happy New Year, don't expect her to give them any lucky money!
