Ma Xiaole's mother's face became darker and darker. She was afraid that Gu Jiuyan would cause trouble for her. For the rest of the journey, she huddled in a corner without saying a word, trying her best to reduce her presence.
After a while, the car arrived at the county town. Before the car stopped, Ma Xiaole's mother jumped out of the car with a basket and ran away.
Liu Meiling looked at the slightly bloated figure and sneered, "I don't know what she's thinking. She keeps causing trouble for me. If her man knew she was causing trouble outside again, he would beat her up again."
“Your brain is full of bubbles,” Shen Yunshu complained accurately.
Afterwards, the three of them walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative, talking and laughing. They arrived a little late, and there was already a long line in front of the door.
Like Shen Yunshu and the other two, the people in line also came here after hearing the news that the supply and marketing cooperative was dealing with defective cloth.
The weather in May was just right, neither cold nor hot. The three of them lined up in an orderly manner behind the main group. Occasionally, there were shameless people who tried to cut in line, but they were all rejected by Liu Meiling with a sullen face.
If someone succeeds in cutting in line, the people behind them will point fingers at them and scold them.
When it was their turn, it was almost noon, and Shen Yunshu and the other two asked for three feet of cloth each.
It is said to be defective cloth, but in fact it is just the cloth that was accidentally soaked in rainwater and is a little moldy, but it can still be used after washing it at home.
In this era when purchases require tickets, people don't show any dislike for defective cloth that doesn't require a ticket.
After Shen Yunshu and the other two bought the fabric, they went to the counter to buy some miscellaneous items.
Shen Yunshu weighed two kilograms of Poria cocos cake and one kilogram of oily fruit, then took out the candy coupons given by Gu's mother, weighed one kilogram of White Rabbit milk candy, and bought two bottles of Gu Jiuyan's favorite canned food.
Mrs. Cao bought a pound of Poria cocos cake and two taels of brown sugar. Seeing someone selling apples, she bought four more apples.
Liu Meiling, who was short of money, saw the two of them buying so many things. Thinking of her three children at home, she gritted her teeth and asked the salesperson to weigh out a pound of Poria cocos cake and half a pound of the cheapest fruit candy.
Shen Yunshu and the other two wanted to buy some meat to take back, and they had the meat tickets ready, but they came too late and the meat was sold out early in the morning. The three of them could only wait until next time they came.
The supply and marketing cooperative was only a few steps away from the state-owned restaurant. Shen Yunshu was worried about his family, so he went to the state-owned restaurant and bought a dozen buns stuffed with pork and green onions. Mrs. Cao and Liu Meiling also bought two buns.
The buns in the state-owned restaurant had thin skin and lots of meat, and they were freshly out of the pot. Shen Yunshu could see the buns full of meat filling with just one bite.
Seeing how delicious the buns were, Mrs. Cao also became greedy. However, as soon as the buns entered her mouth, she felt a burning and nauseous feeling in her stomach. She half-knelt on the ground and vomited.
Together with today's breakfast.
Shen Yunshu and Liu Meiling were frightened. They quickly squatted down to check the situation, but saw Mrs. Cao waving at them: "I'm fine, I might have caught a cold at night."
After calming down, Shen Yunshu looked at the pale-faced Cao sister-in-law, and suddenly had a vague guess in her mind. She asked tentatively:
"Sister-in-law, when was your last period? I feel like you have the same symptoms as I did when I was pregnant."
Hearing this, Mrs. Cao and Liu Meiling suddenly opened their eyes wide and looked at Shen Yunshu in disbelief.
"The twelfth of last month." Mrs. Cao's body was trembling. Her period has always been very regular, but this time it was delayed for half a month... She didn't even notice it.
Could it be that...she really is pregnant...
When she thought of this possibility, Mrs. Cao burst into tears.
Passersby saw Mrs. Cao crying so hard and thought they had encountered some difficulties, so they came forward enthusiastically and asked if they needed help.
Mrs. Cao blushed and quickly stopped crying. Finally, at Shen Yunshu's suggestion, the three of them went to the nearest hospital for a check-up.
When Shen Yunshu and the others arrived, the hospital was already closed, and they had to wait until the doctor came to work in the afternoon before they could have the examination.
The three of them sat on a bench in the corridor waiting. As soon as Shen Yunshu took out the uneaten buns in his pocket and started eating, Mrs. Cao felt nauseous and quickly ran to the trash can nearby and vomited violently.
Shen Yunshu and Liu Meiling looked at each other, and the guesses in their hearts were fully verified at this moment.
Seeing Mrs. Cao’s big reaction, she is almost certain to be pregnant.
Shen Yunshu and Liu Meiling were happy for Mrs. Cao and her husband, who had finally found happiness after all the hardships they had endured.
On the other side, Political Commissar Cao came home from get off work and did not see his wife. He took off his coat and went to the kitchen to cook.
The meal was ready, but there was no sign of his wife.
Political Commissar Cao couldn't help but feel anxious. He didn't even have time to eat and ran to the nearby Gu family to look for someone.
Mother Gu said, "Shushu and the others heard that the supply and marketing cooperative had received a batch of defective cloth, so the three of them went to the county together in the morning."
"He went there this morning?" Political Commissar Cao frowned. "He should be back by now. There's only one car going to the county today."
As soon as these words were spoken, others also sensed something was wrong, but when they thought of their daughter-in-law's heroic act of killing a wild boar with one punch, Mother Gu immediately felt relieved.
"Maybe she was delayed by something. Women, they love to go shopping and never stop. She might have forgotten the time. With Shushu here, she'll be fine."
After hearing Gu's mother's explanation, everyone's uneasiness instantly dissipated a lot. Political Commissar Cao went home, ate a bowl of noodles, and went to work.
Hospital.
After a long period of suffering and waiting, Mrs. Cao's test results came out, and the test results confirmed Shen Yunshu's guess.
Mrs. Cao is pregnant and the baby is already one and a half months old.
The moment Mrs. Cao saw the result, years of grievances and repression burst out instantly, and she lay in Shen Yunshu's arms and cried like a child.
During the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant women should not have too much emotional fluctuation, as that would be bad for the baby in her belly. Shen Yunshu put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her:
"Sister-in-law, this is good news. We should be happy. Stop crying. If you cry too much, the baby in your belly will make you upset."
When Mrs. Cao thought of the baby in her belly, she stopped crying immediately. She put her hands on her belly, which was not yet visible, and a happy smile appeared on her tear-stained face.
From now on, she had a child, a child of her own.
She and her husband waited for many years to have this child. In the future, they will love and care for him wholeheartedly.
Now that they had missed the bus back home, Shen Yunshu, for the sake of Mrs. Cao's health, called Gu Jiuyan and asked him to send a car to pick them up.
Gu Jiuyan hung up the phone and went straight to Political Commissar Cao's office.
Political Commissar Cao was handling official business when he was startled by Gu Jiuyan who suddenly barged in. "Captain Gu, you rushed over to me in such a hurry, what's going on?"
