Chapter 129 Camera!
129 Camera!
Zhou Xiaoyun and Feng Zhenzhen are both cheerful and talkative people. They stayed for more than an hour before leaving.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Aunt Qin started chopping the fillings and preparing the dumpling fillings.
When I was halfway through wrapping, Qin Lie came back.
"That's great. Come and give us a hand." Shen Yiyi smiled as soon as she saw him.
Qin Lie smiled, took off his gloves and came over to make dumplings, and talked about the snow outside. "The snow is quite strong in the first month of the year. My wife, if you want to go out for a walk, I will accompany you when I come back."
"I'm not going out." Shen Yiyi shook her head decisively.
Although she is a person who can't sit still, she has to do it at the right time. Now that her belly is so big, she is still going out in the freezing snow. Isn't this just looking for trouble?
Aunt Qin also said, "Yes, it's better not to go out in this weather. If you really can't stay here any longer, go upstairs and sit for a while. I think Yi Yi will give birth next month."
After hearing this, Qin Lie was stunned for a moment, "Not that fast, right?"
"Why not so soon? I asked my second sister-in-law, and she said your wife got pregnant in August last year. August, September, October... Now it's February. Your wife would have been seven months pregnant by this month."
It is now the first month of the lunar calendar, but it is the second month of the solar calendar.
"If you are pregnant with one baby, many will give birth after nine months, but your wife is carrying twins. When I was pregnant with Sanmei and Sixi, I gave birth after exactly eight months." said Qin Sangu.
The new generation calculates based on the last menstrual period, but the older generation does not do so. They calculate based on the long month.
This long month is counted from the second month of pregnancy to the birth, a total of several months. After the birth, you can roughly compare it with the previous pregnancy to calculate how long the pregnancy was.
Sometimes there is a gap of two to three weeks from the last menstrual period.
For example, Shen Yiyi.
If we count based on Qin Sangu's long month, the eight-month long month is actually less than thirty-five weeks. But if we count based on the last menstrual period, it is almost thirty-seven weeks.
Giving birth to twins at 37 weeks of pregnancy is still within the normal range.
When it comes to giving birth to twins, Qin Sangu is an experienced person and has experience.
Qin Lie suddenly became a little nervous. He had also looked at the calendar and calculated that the baby would be born next month, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Shen Yiyi smiled and glared at him, "Why are you panicking? I'm not panicking at all."
She was mentally prepared, but she didn't tell Qin Lie. During that time, she just let this fool calculate with his own calendar with a frown on his brow.
After all the calculations, she still got it wrong, which made her laugh to death.
"Wife, I'm not panicking!" Qin Lie said.
"Well, don't panic. Mom has prepared everything you need for giving birth." Shen Yiyi said.
Otherwise, why is it said that Qin's mother-in-law is really impeccable?
Four bottles and several bags of milk powder were prepared just in case. Shen Yiyi planned to feed the baby herself, so the milk powder would probably only be used at the beginning.
In addition to these, there are also diapers, changing pads and other clothing.
Her mother-in-law personally cut the changing pad, small quilt, and diapers for her. Especially the diapers, her mother-in-law prepared a lot. Half of the big package was diapers.
There are also children's clothes, hats, socks for little feet, and even talcum powder, all of which are prepared in full.
Not only did Qin's mother make it herself, but Qin's third aunt also helped out when she had nothing to do at home.
Anyway, Shen Yiyi doesn't have to worry about anything that will be needed for the twins in her belly after they are born. Ever since she called Qin's mother to tell her that she was pregnant, Qin's mother told her that she would prepare these things and she didn't have to worry about it!
All the diapers, changing pads, small quilts, etc. were washed and dried over and over again by Qin's mother, and she showed them to her after she went back home for the New Year.
They all exude a very refreshing and sunny smell.
There's no need to describe what Shen Yiyi felt at that time; she was deeply moved.
Not only these were made by Qin's mother, but there are also handmade toys made by Qin's father in his spare time!
Originally, Shen Yiyi was a little scared about having a baby, but with the care of her parents-in-law and Qin Lie's consideration, she was given the courage to not be so afraid of the upcoming baby.
Now just take good care of the baby and don’t think too much.
After wrapping the dumplings, you can eat them.
Whether it's pork and cabbage dumplings or mushroom and pork dumplings, Shen Yiyi enjoys them especially deliciously.
As the months went by, the baby grew so rapidly that Shen Yiyi, the mother, became particularly hungry.
After breakfast, while making dumplings, she ate an apple and a pear, but it was the same as if she hadn't eaten anything. She still had to eat as much as she was supposed to for lunch.
It was snowing hard outside at noon, so Qin Lie didn't have to go out and just stayed at home with her.
When I take a nap, I feel so comfortable that I don’t even want to get out of the quilt.
Qin Lie was also very satisfied while holding his wife in his arms. "We are going to the market tomorrow to do some things. Is there anything you want to buy?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yiyi said, "We eat up the apples at home a little too fast. If you have more, buy a few more boxes." She likes eating apples. They are sweet, crispy and delicious.
I eat two or three every day, and I take one to chew when I have nothing to do.
Besides apples, Shen Yiyi wanted to buy something else. "Let's go to the big counters in the mall and see if they sell cameras. If they do, I'll buy one and some film!"
The baby is about to be born, so how can I not prepare the camera film? I must take more photos of the baby to keep. These will be very precious in the future and will be full of memories.
Qin Lie certainly had no objection.
I went out early the next morning, and when I came back in the evening, I brought the camera and film back to her.
This is a 'Seagull' brand camera. It's unexpectedly expensive, costing several hundred dollars.
Film rolls are not cheap at all. The cheapest one costs fourteen dollars, and it costs about the same to rinse a roll of film.
So taking photos is really not something that ordinary families can afford these days.
Not to mention owning a luxury like a camera.
But Shen Yiyi doesn't feel bad. What's the point of making money? Isn't it so that you can spend it without hesitation when you want to?
Besides, although the camera is expensive, it can be used for a long time and can be used by the whole family. Even if this thing is expensive, it is definitely worth it!
However, things in this era are not easy to use as soon as you get them.
After buying the camera, Shen Yiyi started to explore it, since she had nothing to do anyway.
Finally, after wasting two rolls of film, she could give full play to her photography skills.
