Only then did Jiang Yu realize that the old lady had two bulging bags hanging on her shoulders.
"Mom!" Jiang Yu walked forward and shouted with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiulian looked at her daughter-in-law excitedly and joyfully pulled Jiang Jie's hand, "Hey, Jie Jie, you've lost weight! You've worked hard, kid!"
Jiang Yu's mouth twitched when he heard this. What kind of mother-in-law filter is this? She has gained a lot of weight, why do you still say she has lost weight?
"Mom, I haven't lost weight, I've gained weight!" Jiang Yu said as he pinched his chubby cheeks.
"Nonsense, you look thinner. How can you gain weight when you are pregnant and eating the same amount of food as two people?"
After the old lady finished speaking, she glared at her son, blaming him for not taking good care of his daughter-in-law.
"Mom, Xingzhou takes good care of you and doesn't let you do any housework." Jiang Yu hurriedly spoke for Lu Xingzhou, fearing that her mother-in-law would blame her.
"That's as it should be. You've had a hard time being pregnant," Li Xiu Lian said with relief, glancing at her son beside her.
Jiang Yu realized that her mother-in-law was a kind and good mother-in-law who would not waste her time.
She immediately took Li Xiulian's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, you've come all the way here, aren't you tired?"
"Not tired, not tired." Li Xiu Lian said with a smile.
"Let's go to the car first. There are so many people coming and going here. It's inconvenient to stay here for a long time." Lu Xingzhou looked at the enthusiastic mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and was afraid that if he didn't remind them, they would chat here for a while.
"Hey, okay!" Li Xiu Lian said and then took Jiang Yu's hand affectionately and walked in front.
Lu Xingzhou followed behind, carrying two large luggage bags in each hand.
"Hey, are you getting used to living here? Are the neighbors getting along well? Has Xingzhou bullied you?"
As soon as she got in the car, Li Xiu Lian couldn't help asking.
"Okay, everything is fine! The neighbors are very nice, and Xingzhou treats you well. He will never bully you," Jiang Yu replied.
"That's good. I hope you're doing well. As long as you're doing well, I'll be happy."
Jiang Yu was touched and was about to say something when she saw Li Xiulian took out a red 놀늵 from her bag and handed it to her.
"This is the amulet that your mother got for you from the temple. Please keep it." Li Xiulian said, "May you and the baby in your belly be safe and sound."
Jiang Yu took the amulet and felt warm in his heart.
She knew that this was not just a simple amulet, but also Li Xiulian's blessing and love for her and her children.
"Thank you, mother." Jiang Yu's voice was a little choked up, "I will definitely keep it well."
In her previous life, her mother passed away early, and she had not felt the love and care from her mother for a long time.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted and laughed all the way, and Lu Xingzhou drove with a smile on his face.
The journey back was exceptionally fast, and we arrived at the family compound at noon.
As soon as they got off the car, Li Xiulian asked Lu Xingzhou to carry the luggage in, and asked him to let the chicken out of the bag to walk around for a while, so as not to let it die.
"Hey, these chickens are all old hens that we raise at home, specially for you to nourish your body," said Li Xiu Lian.
"Thank you, mom."
Li Xiulian walked into the house and looked around. Although it was not big, it was very tidy.
At this time, Wen Yao knocked on the gate and walked in.
"Hey, is Auntie here?"
"Yes, I'm here." Jiang Yu came out of the house and said with a smile.
When Li Xiulian came out of the house, she saw a fair and pretty woman standing in the yard.
"Xie Xie, this must be the Wen Yao you and 놖 mentioned. He's so handsome!" Li Xiu Lian praised.
"Auntie, Wang is Wang's good friend. You can call her Yaoyao," Wen Yao said as she walked forward with a smile.
"By the way, auntie, you guys can come to my house for lunch. I've prepared a meal to welcome you."
"Oh, how embarrassing." Li Xiulian said a little embarrassedly.
"Auntie, you and Jianjian are like a family. Captain Lu and your husband are both friends and comrades-in-arms, so don't be polite." Wen Yao enthusiastically pulled Li Xiulian's arm.
"Okay, then I won't be polite with you." Li Xiu Lian nodded with a smile.
"Auntie, how long do you plan to stay this time?" Wen Yao asked curiously.
"I plan to stay here for now and take good care of Jiejie." Li Xiulian said, looking at Jiang Jie, "Jiejie is pregnant now and needs someone to take care of her."
"Then I'll trouble you, mother." Jiang Yu said gratefully.
"We are one family and we shouldn't talk behind each other's backs." Li Xiulian patted Jiang Yu's hand.
During the greetings, Lu Xingzhou came over carrying a chicken, "Mom, the chicken is ready."
"Well, that's perfect. Take this chicken, and then go get some mountain products from the bag of dry goods and send them to Yaoyao's home," Li Xiulian said.
"No, auntie, just save it for Xiaoxiao," Wen Yao quickly declined.
"There are still some at home. I heard from Jianjian that you have helped her a lot and given her work. I really don't know how to thank you," Li Xiulian said gratefully.
"Auntie, 놖 and 梔梔 are good friends, this is as it should be."
Lu Xingzhou didn't care how they refused to accept the offer and just walked towards Wen Yao's house with the chicken and some mountain products.
Li Xiu Lian arrived at Wen Yao's house. Chen Lan and Lin Yun came out of the house and greeted Li Xiu Lian warmly.
Everyone ate and chatted in a harmonious atmosphere.
"Xiaoxiao, you're pregnant now, so you need to take care of your body. If you need any help, just tell us," Chen Lan said with concern.
"Thank you, Auntie. I will." Jiang Yu said gratefully.
After dinner, Li Xiulian, Jiang Xi and Lu Xingzhou returned home.
Li Xiulian took out the fabric she brought and started sewing clothes for the baby.
"Mom, you can also make clothes?" Jiang Yu asked in surprise.
"I learned a little bit when I was at home doing nothing." Li Xiulian said with a smile, "I made some clothes for the baby, and they are comfortable to wear."
Li Xiulian couldn't help but reach out and touch Jiang Yu's belly. "Looking at the round belly, I know it's a boy."
Jiang Yu blushed when she heard that. She didn't look like a pregnant woman at all. It was obvious that she was just greedy and had gained weight.
She is less than three months pregnant and the baby is not yet visible.
"Well, mother, are you sure about this? What if she is a lady?" Jiang Yu asked tentatively.
What if the mother-in-law favors boys over girls?
"Girls are nice and considerate," Li Xiu Lian seemed to see Jiang Yu's concern and said with a smile.
"Xiaoxiao, don't feel pressured. It doesn't matter whether the first baby is a boy or a girl. As long as you give us a boy later, the Lu family will have continuous bloodlines. That's enough."
Hearing her mother-in-law say this, Jiang Yu felt as if a stone was stuck in her heart. She gently stroked her belly and prayed secretly that it would be a boy.
It's not that she favors boys over girls, but she knows that her mother-in-law and her generation all want to focus on continuing the family line and passing on the family name.
If she were a concubine and then died, her mother-in-law would probably die with regret!
She chatted with Li Xiulian and watched her sew baby clothes until Lu Xingzhou reminded her that it was time to go to bed. Then she yawned and went back to the room.
