As time went by, Zhou had been pregnant for almost two months. She had been suffering from severe morning sickness recently. She couldn't eat or sleep well, and she was always retching.
People who like sour and spicy food, they say sour boys and spicy girls, so what is this sour and spicy thing about her?
It's almost time to go to Mr. Qin to take his pulse.
But unexpectedly, they received such great news that Xiao Mian and his wife were stunned.
Because, after taking Zhou's pulse, Mr. Qin told her that she was pregnant with twins. It was too early in the pregnancy before and she couldn't get the babies out at all. But now it's almost two months, so she can get them out.
When Zhou heard the news, she felt dizzy for a moment, and Xiao Mian was even more dumbfounded, standing there at a loss as to what to do.
Zhou tugged at his clothes and asked again, worriedly:
"Did I just hear wrongly?"
"I...I don't know either. It's like I'm dreaming!"
Both of them couldn't believe it and thought they were hallucinating.
Until Mr. Qin smiled and issued another certification:
"Mrs. Zhou is indeed pregnant with twins. You need to be more careful in the future. The belly of a pregnant woman with twins will be much larger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman. Especially after six months, it will be very difficult for her to move. You need to check her pulse every half a month.
I will write a prescription in a moment. It contains the food you should pay attention to in your daily life. Don’t be careless.”
Mr. Qin's reaffirmation finally made the couple believe that Zhou was pregnant with not one but two babies.
Oh my god, what are the odds?
Either you can’t have a baby no matter how hard you try, or you get two babies at once?
She was so excited that she couldn't speak, tears flowed uncontrollably, and her chest heaved rapidly.
Xiao Mian was the same, his hands were shaking as he held his wife.
"Oh, Madam Zhou, you must not get too excited now. Your health is important. You can't be too happy or too sad. You are three people now. You must eat more nutritious food five months ago, but not too much. Overdoing it will be bad for production in the future. Try to eat small meals frequently. Don't eat too much at one meal. Sixty to seventy percent is enough."
The risk for pregnant women with twins is also extremely high.
Mr. Qin suggested that they find a steady and experienced midwife and midwife as soon as possible, so that they will suffer less and be safer during childbirth.
Now, Zhou doesn't even dare to laugh loudly or cough, and feels that the burden on her shoulders is particularly heavy.
Xiao Mian also held her carefully, like a fragile treasure.
Most of the women who came to Jishan Hall to see the gynecologist were having difficulty in giving birth. When they heard that Zhou was pregnant with twins, they all looked envious and wanted to share her good luck.
The family didn't know about this news yet, but Xiao's mother was always worried about it. After all, Zhou's reaction had been very strong in the past few days.
But she didn't expect that her daughter-in-law would give her two grandsons at once.
Xiao Mian asked Zhou to go home and rest, while he ran to Xiaoji to tell his parents the good news.
When Xiao's mother heard this, she was stunned for a moment, but she reacted quickly and then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, God bless you, the Xiao family is so blessed that they even gave birth to a pair of twins. Oh my god, you all are really hardworking."
Twins are a symbol of good fortune in Daqing, so if a family can give birth to twins, it would be like smoke coming out of their ancestral graves, and it would be worth bragging about for the rest of their lives.
If this happened in Xianhe Village, Xiao's mother would set off a few firecrackers to celebrate.
"I have to go to the Wanfu Temple outside the city tomorrow to offer some incense money and ask for amulets for my family." She kept her hands clasped together, and she was really happy.
Then he took out three taels of silver and gave it to Xiao Mian, asking him to buy something for his wife that she wanted to eat and to prepare good meals for her in the future.
As her daughter-in-law, as long as you have good character, don't play tricks, and are dedicated to the Xiao family, she will be happy to pamper you and treat you equally.
There is no such thing as being more partial to one of them. Anyway, since she married into our family, she is our own daughter. When we have a quarrel, she only slaps her own son in the face.
Now that Zhou can no longer participate in the family business, Xiao's mother decides to let her sons give up their jobs at the docks and help with the family business every month.
Then pay them appropriately based on the total monthly revenue.
…
On the fifth day of Xiao Ji's opening, business showed no signs of decline and was very stable.
Tofu pudding is no longer free, but because there are so many people who love to drink it, the price is four cents a bowl.
You can't make much from the small bowls, only about two cents per bowl, but no matter how thin a mosquito leg is, it's still meat.
However, that afternoon, a very special guest came to the store. She was in a wheelchair, had difficulty moving, and was sitting in a luxurious carriage. She was dressed in a fresh and refined manner and looked very cold and beautiful.
There were maids and servants accompanying them, and it was obvious that they were from a wealthy family.
In short, her appearance is out of place in the bustling and bustling West Street.
As soon as she arrived, the two maids moved the original stools away and wiped the table again and again with handkerchiefs. They were so meticulous.
As soon as Xiao Lanlan came out, she saw their behavior. She wanted to curl her lips, but she held back.
However, as soon as she appeared, the rich lady stared at her with an undisguised gaze, looking her up and down.
There is no doubt that this special guest is Ye Shu. She came here for Jiang Sui. She mistook Xiao Lanlan, who has an outstanding appearance and temperament, for Xiao Hechuan's wife.
Until Ruxing lowered her head and reminded her:
"Miss, this seems to be Mr. Xiao's sister, not his wife."
After Ruxing said this, Ye Shu's gaze became more restrained and not so straightforward anymore.
No wonder, they look a bit alike, it turns out they are siblings.
Xiao Qin came up to her and asked her what she wanted to eat.
As a result, Ye Shu looked at him, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said nothing. The maid beside her said to him:
"Are all the people who receive guests in your house servants? No maids?"
Wealthy families pay great attention to the separation of men and women, and in the restaurants in wealthy areas, in addition to waiters, there are also maids who specifically receive female guests.
If they want something high-end, then they have come to the wrong place. This is the bustling West Street, which is closer to real life.
This was something Xiao Qin, who was a bit depressed, couldn't figure out, so he quickly went to the kitchen to find Jiang Sui.
After a brief conversation, Xiao Lanlan expressed that she didn't want to talk to her, thinking that her tone was too high, and the way she just looked at her made her feel uncomfortable.
So Jiang Sui had to go, and Xiao's mother went home to see Zhou, but she was not there.
Jiang Sui took off her apron, washed her hands, and walked out with her usual sweet and decent smile on her face.
She walked up to Ye Shu, and with her good memory she recognized her at a glance. This was the disabled lady who distributed porridge at the city gate when she first entered the city.
Ye Shu also saw her, and this time she had a strong intuition and knew she had not recognized the wrong person.
