Chapter 78 Second Sister-in-law is Pregnant
Time passed day by day. Under the careful care of her mother-in-law Sun Erni, Jiang Xinbai had a very comfortable confinement period. Except for the fact that she could not take a bath, the rest of her life was simply that of a young lady.
In order to provide food for her grandson, Sun Erni served Jiang Xinbai six meals a day. Often, before she had finished digesting one meal, the next one would come. Today, it was soybean milk and chicken soup, tomorrow it was soybean and pig's trotter soup, and the day after tomorrow it was crucian carp and tofu soup. In short, she arranged all the milk-inducing soups within her ability.
After just one month, the child grew a lot, and Jiang Xinbai also gained visibly more weight.
"Xinbai, here, take your bath ticket and go to the factory's bathhouse to take a good bath. You must be feeling tired after holding it in for a month!" Sun Erni handed over a bath ticket for the steel plant.
Jiang Xinbai's face turned red. She hadn't taken a bath for a month and she felt like she had been marinated.
"Mom, I've never been there. I'm a little embarrassed..." Jiang Xinbai had never been to a bathhouse before, and felt a little timid.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Everyone has what you have. You can't wash clean at home if you don't go to the bathhouse." I usually take a bath in a room next to the laundry room on the first floor, but I have to boil water myself, which is not only troublesome, but also not very comfortable to wash. The bathhouse is better. The hot water is automatically supplied and I can take a bath as long as I want.
"Mom, why don't you accompany me to take a shower!" Jiang Xinbai thought that it wouldn't be embarrassing to ask someone to accompany her.
"Who will take care of the child if I go with you?" Sun Erni waved her hand. This one person would require an extra ticket. Besides, she didn't have any extra bath tickets.
Seeing that her mother-in-law was unwilling, Jiang Xinbai immediately turned her attention to her sister-in-law Li Huifen, who had just got off work. She smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, I'll invite you to take a bath in the bathhouse!"
Li Huifen's eyes lit up, "You're treating me? I don't have to pay, right?"
"Yes, of course I'm the one who invited you. So, sister-in-law, are you going?"
"Go, why not?" He had just finished a day's work and wanted to go and relax.
At this time, Su Qiuyan also came back from get off work. When she saw Jiang Xinbai and the other person walking out with washbasins, she was stunned for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, Xinbai, are you guys going to take a...bath?"
"Let's go to the bathhouse and take a bath. Third sister-in-law, give me the money. Qiuyan, are you going? Third sister-in-law, you shouldn't mind having one more person, right?"
After asking the question, Li Huifen regretted speaking too quickly, but the words were already on the tip of her tongue so she could only ask, hoping that her third brother's wife would be more generous.
Jiang Xinbai nodded indifferently, "Second sister-in-law, let's go together!" Anyway, it only costs five cents per person for the family members of the steel plant to go to the bathhouse. She has the ticket and it's free. It only costs one dime for the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law. She can afford it.
Su Qiuyan subconsciously covered her stomach. Thinking of her delayed period, she shook her head and refused, "You guys go ahead. I'll go to the first floor to take a shower later." The floor of the bathhouse was slippery and it would be unsafe if she fell.
Li Huifen heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. It didn't matter if they didn't go, so she quickly pulled Jiang Xinbai out and said as she walked, "If you don't go, we'll go. You can help mom cook dinner!"
Su Qiuyan returned to the room, took out a small notebook from the drawer, pointed to the dates on it and started counting, "One, two, three, four..." After counting to the end, she sighed. It was already six days late, and she didn't know if it would work this time.
Also, I don’t know when this substitute job will end. After doing it for so long, I’m actually a little reluctant to go back. Alas!
At night, Jiang Xinbai was feeding her baby in the room. Yang Jinsheng opened the door, walked in and sat down beside the bed.
"Xiaobai, you are out of confinement now, do you want to go back to work?"
Jiang Xinbai comforted his son who turned around to look around because of the voice, and replied: "Why are you asking this suddenly? Did your second brother or your second sister-in-law talk to you?"
"Hey, it's my second brother. He asked me when I will go to work?" Yang Jinsheng was actually caught and questioned by his second brother just before he entered the door.
Jiang Xinbai hummed lightly, "I should tell my second sister-in-law in the next few days. Mom has agreed to take care of the child for me."
"Then you should tell your second sister-in-law as soon as possible so that she can be prepared."
"Yes, I know."
A few days later, before Jiang Xinbai had the chance to talk to her second sister-in-law Su Qiuyan about the substitute job, Su Qiuyan came to her first.
Su Qiuyan suppressed her joy and said, "Xinbai, when will you go to work? I will hand over my work to you."
Jiang Xinbai looked at her curiously, but still didn't ask anything. He said directly: "Second sister-in-law, I was just about to tell you that I plan to go to work in the next two days."
"It's perfect. There's no need to pick a time. Let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll go with you to hand over the work, and I won't go to work." Su Qiuyan didn't feel disappointed about losing her job at this moment because she had better news.
"Okay, but second sister-in-law, are you happy about something?" Jiang Xinbai felt that his second sister-in-law was weird, as if she had picked up money. No, it should be said that she was happier than picking up money.
Su Qiuyan pursed her lips when she heard this, restrained her facial expression, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, isn't it that last month's salary was paid today, I am definitely happy to get the money."
"Really?" Jiang Xinbai was skeptical.
After dinner, Sun Erni went to coax the children as usual. Today it was Su Qiuyan's turn to wash the dishes and mop the floor. But today she seemed to be particularly slow, which made Li Huifen look at her a few more times.
"Qiuyan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? I saw you mopping the floor with such a weak energy, are you suffering from heatstroke?"
It is August now and the weather is very hot. If you are not careful, you may get heatstroke.
When Yang Jinwei heard Li Huifen say this, he was the first to react. He quickly supported his wife and asked, "Qiuyan, did you really have heatstroke? You take a rest first, I'll mop the floor."
Sun Erni frowned, "Qiuyan, if you really have a heat stroke, I'll massage your sha and put a few needles on your fingers."
"No, no, mom really doesn't need it, I don't have a heatstroke." Su Qiuyan jumped up immediately when she heard that she had to twist the sha to let blood, but then she thought of something and stopped halfway.
"You didn't get heatstroke, but you still feel so weak even when mopping the floor. What's wrong? Didn't you eat enough?"
Although Li Huifen is a gossiper and a narrow-minded person, she is also an efficient person. She can finish small tasks like mopping the floor in just a few seconds. Whether it is clean or not is another matter, but her speed is definitely fast, so she can't stand Su Qiuyan's slow motion.
"No," Su Qiuyan replied in a low voice, then looked at her husband beside her and whispered something, which made Yang Jinwei startled, and then he shouted loudly: "Really? Are you really pregnant?"
