After drinking malted milk in the evening, Jiang Manyue felt sleepy and fell asleep leaning against Lu Lin.
Lu Lin carefully placed her on the bed, covered her tightly, and fell asleep while holding her.
The next morning, Jiang Manyue woke up very late. When she woke up, the sun was high in the sky outside and Lu Lin was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Manyue got dressed and walked out of the room. Li Guifen, who was picking vegetables, heard the noise and quickly looked up and asked, "Manyue, don't you want to sleep for a while?"
The sun was already so high, Jiang Manyue didn't feel comfortable going back to sleep. She shook her head and said, "No, Mom, where's Lu Lin? Where did he go?"
"Oh, Lu Lin went to your mother's house. Your parents don't know about your pregnancy yet, so he went to tell them the good news."
As soon as Li Guifen finished speaking, Miao Xianghua's loud voice rang out at the door, "Full moon! Mom is here to see you!"
When Jiang Manyue turned around, she saw Miao Xianghua rushing towards her with excitement, and Lu Lin following slowly behind.
"Man Yue, are you really pregnant? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to eat something sour? I'll ask your brothers to go up the mountain to pick some wild fruits. The wild fruits in winter are very sour, so sour that they can make your teeth ache. People who are pregnant will definitely like to eat them."
When Jiang Manyue heard her say this, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She really wanted to eat.
Miao Xianghua knew she wanted to eat from her reaction, and immediately beamed with joy, "You want something sour? Sour is good, sour boys mean spicy girls. This baby is probably a boy!"
Jiang Manyue actually wanted to eat the pickled peppers made by Miao Xianghua. They were pickled with small sharp peppers from the vegetable garden. They were very spicy and perfect to go with rice.
"Mom, do you still have pickled peppers? Give me two cans. I want to eat some peppers."
Miao Xianghua blinked. "Don't you want something sour? Why do you want something spicy?"
Jiang Manyue also blinked and said, "I want to eat both sour and spicy food."
Miao Xianghua kept asking, "Which one do you want to eat more?"
Jiang Manyue answered seriously, "I want to eat both, preferably hot and sour soup, sour and spicy. Oh, Mom, you can cook me some hot and sour noodle soup, and use the chili powder you grind yourself."
Miao Xianghua was helpless. "Okay, okay, wait. Mom will go home and get it for you."
Li Guifen quickly threw away the dishes in her hands and said, "Then I'll go knead the dough. Ah Lin, you come and clean up the dishes."
Lu Lin sat on a small stool without any temper and started picking vegetables. While picking, he told Jiang Manyue to go back to the house quickly and not to freeze in the yard.
Jiang Manyue thought that being pregnant would make her a rare protected animal. She was afraid that she would get cold if she stood in the yard for a while.
But this was all their good intentions, so Jiang Manyue went back to the house. When she reached the door, she remembered that she had not washed up, so she turned back to get some water.
Lu Lin quickly dropped the dish in his hand and said, "If you need anything, just call me. You don't need to worry about getting yourself any water."
Jiang Manyue smiled and said, "I'm not used to the life of having everything provided for me. Once I get used to it, I'll order you around for anything."
Lu Lin had a very happy expression on his face. "You can do whatever you want with me. This is what I should do as a good husband."
Jiang Manyue smiled as she watched him fill the water, then considerately add hot water and test the temperature before handing it to her.
After washing up, Miao Xianghua came in a hurry with the pickled peppers and chili powder she made.
The kitchen immediately became Miao Xianghua's territory, and a bowl of delicious hot and sour noodle soup was soon served on the table.
Lu Lin had also chosen her dishes, and the three of them stood by the table watching her eat.
Jiang Manyue took a bite and found it sour and spicy, very appetizing, making her feel like she could finish the whole pot in one breath.
"It's delicious, sour and spicy, and the noodles are chewy. The dough is kneaded very well."
Jiang Manyue took both sides into consideration and praised both mothers, which really made them both smile.
"As long as you like it, Mom will cook it for you every day."
Jiang Manyue pointed at Lu Lin with a smile, "I just asked Lu Lin to learn from me. I'll ask him to learn how to do it tomorrow. Mom, just guide him."
Miao Xianghua looked at Lu Lin in surprise, "Lu Lin can cook?"
Jiang Manyue nodded proudly, "Yes, his cooking tastes pretty good. He will be able to take good care of me when we return to the military area."
Li Guifen also agreed, "Xiang Hua, don't worry. Ah Lin made dinner last night, and it tasted really good. It's definitely a good idea to have him take care of Man Yue."
Miao Xianghua was surprised and relieved, and Lu Lin looked very satisfied.
Her daughter really married a good man. He is handsome, can make money, and loves his wife so much. Fortunately, their family took the initiative, otherwise where else could they find such a good son-in-law?
When she found out her daughter was pregnant, she was thinking about asking her to stay at home after the Chinese New Year so that someone could take care of her. Now she doesn't have to worry about that anymore.
Jiang Manyue quickly finished a large bowl of hot and sour noodle soup, but still felt it was not enough. She asked eagerly, "Mom, is there any more?"
Miao Xianghua nodded quickly, "Yes! Mom will serve it to you right away!"
Lu Lin took the bowl and said, "Mom, you take a rest. I'll go get it."
Miao Xianghua looked at his back as he left the house and nodded with satisfaction. This son-in-law was great and touched her heart in every way.
Lu Lin served another bowl, basically taking all the best parts, filled with minced meat and chopped eggs.
Jiang Manyue ate it all and finished another big bowl before burping.
Seeing how much she eats, Li Guifen and Miao Xianghua were very happy. It is good that she can eat a lot. If she eats more, the child can also eat more.
After eating the noodles, Jiang Manyue felt sleepy again and dozed off while sitting at the table.
Li Guifen noticed that she was sleepy and quickly asked Lu Lin to help her back to her room to sleep.
"No, I won't sleep anymore. I just woke up, ate, and then went back to sleep. Wouldn't that make me look like a pig?"
Jiang Manyue was very disgusted with her own depravity, but Li Guifen said, "Pregnant women are like this, they sleep a lot and eat a lot, after all, there is a child in the belly."
Miao Xianghua also nodded. "Yeah, that's how I am when I'm pregnant. I eat and then I sleep. There's nothing I can do about it. Everyone is the same."
Jiang Manyue was lamenting that this life was like raising pigs, when Lu Lin directly picked her up.
"Sleep if you're tired. There's no rule at home that forbids sleeping after eating. Just treat it as a nap."
Lu Lin carried her back to her room. Jiang Manyue hit him, "Mom is here, and you just brought me back like that!"
Lu Lin didn't care at all. "What's the big deal? I just carried you back to your room to sleep. You're sleepy. What if you lose your balance and fall?"
Jiang Manyue was too lazy to argue with him. She was really sleepy, so she took off her clothes and lay down to sleep.
He slept until the afternoon. Jiang Manyue looked at the time on her watch and shook her head helplessly.
I was fine before, why did I suddenly become sleepy?
But it didn't seem to start suddenly. Jiang Manyue recalled that she seemed to have not gotten up early for a while. She always slept very late and took a particularly long nap in the afternoon.
It was also because she was inexperienced that she didn't notice that she was sleeping more and more, and she didn't think about being pregnant.
