The kang was not heated at home yet and it started snowing in the middle of the night. Fortunately, it was cold and I had already covered myself with a thick quilt, so I didn't freeze.
Su Yuhe has a lot to do today. She has to go for a prenatal check-up and see Yu Liping, so she has to get up early.
Jiang Lin got up and quickly put on his clothes. Seeing Su Yuhe dazedly reaching for her watch, he stopped what he was doing, grabbed Su Yuhe's hand and stuffed it back into the quilt.
"It's only half past six, you can sleep for another half an hour."
Su Yuhe responded with a humming sound, and shrank back into the warm quilt, rubbing her face against the quilt unconsciously.
Jiang Lin saw this, smiled gently, and pressed the quilt for Su Yuhe to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.
He put on his clothes again, put on his last cotton-padded jacket, and sat on the edge of the kang to put on his shoes and socks.
It snowed last night. I don't know what it's like outside.
When Jiang Lin went out, there was a thin layer of snow on the ground, which was soft and made pits when he stepped on it.
He picked up the broom and swept the snow from the yard.
Ye Yunshu, wearing an apron, walked out to the yard to scoop water. "Sweeping the snow, Brother Lin. Hey, it snowed in the middle of the night last night. Did Yuhe get cold?"
"No, the quilt is thick." Jiang Lin thought of how Su Yuhe kept snuggling in his arms last night, and thought to himself that she wouldn't be cold.
Ye Yunshu: "It just snowed. We'll have to heat the kang in a few days. No, you should light it tonight so Yuhe doesn't get cold."
She was thinking about what was in the pot, talked to Jiang Lin for a while, then turned around and went back to cooking.
Jiang Lin finished sweeping the snow outside, estimated the time, and brought a basin of hot water back into the house.
Su Yuhe was still sleeping. Jiang Lin looked at his watch and it was exactly seven o'clock.
He supported himself on the edge of the kang with one hand, and pinched Su Yuhe's face which was swollen due to pregnancy with the other hand. The feeling was not bad. He pinched it again and then gently called Su Yuhe to get up.
Su Yuhe slowly opened her eyes, her eyes hazy: "Is it time?"
"Yeah." Jiang Lin helped Su Yuhe up, took out the prepared autumn clothes and trousers, and put them on Su Yuhe, and gave her an extra sweater.
Put on her shoes and socks.
Jiang Lin had a smile on his face as he fiddled with Su Yuhe. After he was done, he asked her to sit down.
He wrung out the towel with hot water and wiped the yawning Su Yuhe's face.
After washing her face, Su Yuhe felt much more awake. She looked down and found that Jiang Lin had put two sweaters on her, making her look very bloated.
Su Yuhe didn't even dare to think about it. When she put on the cotton jacket, wouldn't she look like a ball?
She reached out and tugged at her clothes: "Why are you wearing so much?"
Jiang Lin thought she was going to take it off, so he pressed her hand and picked up the cotton coat to put on Su Yuhe: "It snowed last night. If you don't wear more, you will be cold later."
"It's snowing?" Su Yuhe suddenly shrank her neck. "No wonder it's so cold."
Jiang Lin washed his face with the hot water towel that Su Yuhe had just used, then picked up the basin and took the water out to pour it out.
Su Yuhe followed out behind him.
It was no longer snowing outside, but there were piles of snow on the eaves and the edge of the yard. Looking at the traces on the ground, I knew someone had swept the snow.
Last year at the educated youth site, the educated youth divided into groups and took turns clearing the snow.
Today was the first snowy day since she and Jiang Lin got married and lived together. Jiang Lin had already quietly swept the snow away.
Suddenly, a chill ran down Su Yuhe's neck. She shivered, put her hands in her pockets, and went to the kitchen to warm her hands by the fire.
Ye Yunshu had already prepared breakfast. She was holding an iron basin, putting the red-hot charcoal in it with tongs, and bringing it back to the main room for the old ladies and others to warm up by the fire.
Seeing Su Yuhe come in, she smiled and asked, "Are you cold? The charcoal fire is so beautiful, let's go to the main room and roast some."
"Let me get it." Su Yuhe looked at the steaming breakfast on the table. Before it was brought to the main room, she knew that Ye Yunshu had not had time to prepare it yet, so she thought about helping out.
Ye Yunshu waved her hand, picked up the brazier with tongs and took it out.
Su Yuhe could only go and serve breakfast.
The fire in the kitchen was connected to the kang in the main room, where the old lady slept.
As soon as Ye Yunshu came in, the old lady sighed comfortably: "As soon as the kang warmed up, I knew you were cooking. Did it snow last night?"
Normally, the kang cannot be heated up by the fire in the kitchen. It will only be heated up when it snows.
Ye Yunshu smiled and replied: "Yes, it's snowing. From now on, Yinu, I and Dandan will sleep on this kang. It's big. When we cook, we can heat it up and keep us warm all night."
Yinu and Dandan felt quite comfortable sitting on the old lady's kang and didn't want to get down at all.
When Ye Yunshu said she would sleep here at night, she had no objection at all.
Jiang Lin brought a larger kang table and ate directly on the kang.
Yi Nu exclaimed, "We can even eat on the kang? That's great!"
Su Yuhe sat inside and made room for Jiang Lin.
Ye Yunshu said to Jiang Lin, "Brother Lin, when you go out later, don't ride your bike. There's snow on the road. The bus will definitely leave today. Take it."
"I know."
The two took a bus to the county town and went to the hospital first, to Li Qing's department.
Li Qing's attitude towards Su Yuhe was much better than before. He pointed to the ultrasound and said to Su Yuhe, "At almost four months, the baby's organs have fully developed. There's no problem."
When Su Yuhe was pregnant in her previous life, she didn't have any prenatal checkups. One reason was that her nominal husband at the time didn't care about her, not to mention the people in the Lu family.
She also has to work, so she is always in a hurry during every prenatal checkup.
Unlike today, she smiled when she heard the child was developing well and said, "Thank you, doctor."
Li Qing looked at Su Yuhe: "You studied Chinese medicine, right?"
Su Yuhe's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered, smiled, and said nothing.
"I don't mean to report you." Li Qing smiled a rare smile. "Western medicine is convenient here. With a scan, a lot of things can be seen. Hey, I don't mean to look down on Chinese medicine."
Su Yuhe smiled and nodded: "I know, each has its own advantages. If I have the chance, I will also study Western medicine."
Li Qing had another patient, so the two didn't talk for long.
Jiang Lin waited for Su Yuhe to come out, walked up to her and asked her how she was. Su Yuhe squinted her eyes and smiled: "Very good."
Jiang Lin: "Didn't you say we can tell the gender now? Did the doctor say it's a boy or a girl?"
Su Yuhe exclaimed, "I forgot to ask. How about going back and asking?"
"Forget it," Jiang Lin held Su Yuhe, "Boy or girl is fine."
Su Yuhe didn't insist. She just said it casually in the morning, but she didn't expect Jiang Lin still remembered it.
In other words, the control is not so strict now. If it were a few years later, it would be illegal to ask a doctor to check the gender of a baby.
Jiang Lin asked Su Yuhe if she wanted some water.
Su Yuhe was talking inside just now, and her mouth felt a little dry, so she said she wanted to drink.
Jiang Lin took out a thermos from his bag and poured a small cup for Su Yuhe.
After she finished drinking, he put the cup away, tidied Su Yuhe's clothes and scarf to ensure that she would not be blown by the cold wind when walking on the road, and then led her out.
