A long, thin face was quite unexpected.
“Great idea, Brother Qian, let’s go take a look. A lot of classmates just picked red berries in Zhao’s vegetable garden. Why don’t we go and have a look?”
Round Money, clutching its belly, strolled along slowly like a penguin, following the thin, long face.
They actually went to the Zhao family's vegetable garden.
But I never saw a ripe tomato again; after all, there were too many wolves and not enough meat.
The Zhao family members never expected that these students were all so greedy.
Zhao Qingyi and her husband returned with her parents-in-law. They had been married for several months and their life together was incredibly sweet.
On the way back, Wang Huaijing carefully helped Zhao Qingyi as they got out of the car.
They took extra care of her during mealtimes, and even the little maid who followed Zhao Qingyi behind her was more cautious than before.
Only after Wang Caixia pressed for details did she learn that Zhao Qingyi was pregnant.
This is great news.
"Time flies. Before I knew it, my eldest daughter was about to become a mother."
Let me tell you, when you're pregnant, you must eat plenty of good food.
However, you can't just eat and not exercise, otherwise it will take a lot of effort to give birth.
This meat is edible, but try to eat less of the fatty parts. Eat more lean meat, and fish, and things like that…”
My aunt's mouth never stops. Ever since she found out her daughter was pregnant, she's been going on and on and on.
They even overlooked the fact that guests need to be accompanied.
Fortunately, with Huang Shi, Tian Xiaolan, and Liu Xiaohua present, the atmosphere wasn't too awkward.
When the married women learned of Zhao Qingyi's pregnancy, in addition to congratulating her, they offered various pregnancy tips and parenting advice.
Xi Chunhua and Zhao Qingyi lived in the front and back yards, and although they had separated their households, they hadn't separated their houses yet, so they still ate together.
Therefore, Xi Chunhua knew that Zhao Qingyi was pregnant, but she did not inform her family immediately because it was not yet three months into her pregnancy.
Everyone was having a great time, and Zhao Qingyi was listening attentively.
The women's table was originally a scene of peace and harmony.
There was a braised fish on the table, its color so appealing it looked very appetizing.
Xi Chunhua quickly used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish belly for Zhao Qingyi before placing the fish on Zhao Qingyi's plate. The aroma of the fish lingered in the air.
Normally, Xi Chunhua would definitely have put another piece on her plate.
Ever since the family cook learned how to remove fishy smells from Zhao Qingyi, fish has been a regular feature on the Wang family's dining table every few days.
Today, Xi Chunhua not only didn't find the fish delicious, but she also felt nauseous.
After eating a few bites of other dishes, she still couldn't suppress the nausea. Finally, Xi Chunhua covered her mouth and headed straight for the Zhao family's backyard.
In the Zhao family's backyard, he was holding his knees and vomiting violently, almost to the point of vomiting bile.
Wang Caixia quickly ordered someone to pour a glass of water and personally handed it to Xi Chunhua so that she could rinse her mouth properly.
He then helped her back to her seat.
Because Xi Chunhua suddenly felt nauseous, Zhao Qingyi hadn't touched the fish belly on the plate.
Therefore, when Xi Chunhua returned, the piece of fish was still there.
Xi Chunhua still felt nauseous from the smell, and tried hard to suppress the uncomfortable feeling. Her eyes were red from vomiting.
Looking at Zhao Qingyi, he said, "Wife, look, that meat is getting cold. Why don't you eat it first?"
Zhao Qingyi was very puzzled as to why her stepmother-in-law was so concerned about that piece of fish belly.
However, she didn't waste her concern and ate the piece of fish belly.
After finishing her meal, she even took a sip of green tea. Xi Chunhua seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
She then whispered, "Mother-in-law, are you feeling nauseous because of the smell of fish?"
Xi Chunhua nodded. The people at the table, who had been watching her closely, noticed the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law whispering. Huang asked,
"Young lady, what's wrong with your mother-in-law?"
Zhao Qingyi smiled and said, "Grandma, it's alright. I reckon our Wang family is going to have another happy occasion."
Everyone offered their congratulations. They weren't fools, and even though Zhao Qingyi's words were vague, they could guess the gist of it.
Seeing that Xi Chunhua had just felt nauseous at the sight of fish, she asked the maid beside her to move the plate of fish to the center of the table.
That is, the position furthest away from her.
After all, it wouldn't be appropriate to remove a dish, and since the Zhao family's dining table is rotatable, placing it in the middle is the most suitable option.
Wang Caixia, who had been taking care of Zhao Qingyi, now realized that her mother-in-law, Qingyi, was suspected of being pregnant, and seeing how hard she was working, she took over the care of both of them.
She was secretly thinking to herself that it was quite rare for both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be in postpartum confinement at the same time. The rest of the time, however, was spent figuring out what to prepare for her daughter.
Since it's a full moon celebration, the little one will definitely have to be brought out to show his face.
The twins, Zhao Sanbao and Zhao Erya, were wrapped in red swaddling clothes, looking very festive.
After the two little ones were brought out, they were not afraid of the noise at all. Instead, their little heads kept turning back and forth in response to the sounds.
With so many people around, it's not convenient for a small baby to stay outside for too long.
So, after Zhao Qingling and Zhang Cuicui brought the child out and briefly showed themselves, they quickly took the child back.
Yuanrun Qian was very unhappy when Zhao Qingling took the child out and took him back before she could even see what he looked like.
"Brother Zhao, you're being really unfair. You just brought your nephew and niece out, and before you could even see what they looked like, you took them back. Are you afraid we'll get some good fortune?"
Twins have been rare since ancient times, so you've had twins of different sexes—a boy and a girl! Tell us your secret!
Zhao Qingling smiled faintly, "Thank you all for coming. Your presence is a joyous occasion."
My child is too young to withstand the wind, please forgive me.
As for the secret, there is none.
What do you all eat? I eat the same thing. However, my wife's family has an elder who gave birth to twins.
I wonder if this counts as a secret?
Yuanrunqian was unhappy.
"Brother Zhao, what are you saying? We are already of marriageable age with wives and children. Do you expect us to divorce our wives and marry a woman who has twins?"
Zhao Qingling never expected that this fat man would be so aggressive. It seemed that she didn't know him that well, and they had never spoken before.
"My dear classmate, your family affairs are none of our business."
"When you pass the imperial examinations in the future, it wouldn't be impossible for you to take a few more concubines, would it?" What do you all think?
Then everyone shifted their focus and started teasing Yuanrunqian about what kind of concubine he would marry in the future.
The teachers and abbots dining in the main hall never expected that their so-called good students could tell such dirty jokes so fluently.
