Jiang Manyue kissed him back, "Congratulations too. The first person you saw on the first day of the new year was me and our baby."
Lu Lin touched Jiang Manyue's belly as a greeting to the baby, then got up and put on his clothes.
"Today is the first day of the new year. Mom said that after we get up, we'll go visit relatives. We'll go back to your parents' tomorrow, and we can pack our bags the day after tomorrow."
Jiang Manyue lazily didn't want to think about it, "Can we not visit relatives? I'm afraid I'll vomit in someone else's house, that would be so embarrassing."
Lu Lin thought about it and it made sense. Jiang Manyue's morning sickness had been rather irregular recently and she could vomit at any time. It would be embarrassing if she vomited in someone else's house during the Chinese New Year.
"Then let's not go. Tell Mom to take Jun'an to visit relatives. We'll just rest at home and go to your parents' tomorrow."
Jiang Manyue nodded with a smile, "Okay, then go tell Mom."
Lu Lin scratched her nose and said, "You're so clever. Okay, I'll go talk to Mom. You lie down for a while."
Jiang Manyue curled up in the quilt and nodded, watching Lu Lin go out to find Li Guifen.
The privileges of pregnant women are still very useful. Jiang Manyue successfully got rid of the trouble of visiting relatives and lazily basked in the sun in the yard.
Lu Qingyou and Li Guifen took Lu Jun'an out to visit relatives for the whole day. They didn't even come back for lunch and only returned in the afternoon when the sun was about to set.
As soon as Li Guifen came back, she placed a pile of children's clothes in front of Jiang Manyue as if she were presenting treasures.
"Look, Manyue, these are all given by our relatives. Children here have to wear patchwork clothes when they are young so that they can grow up well."
Jiang Manyue didn't know about this rule, but Li Guifen explained it very clearly, so she just listened.
"These clothes are a bit worn, but they can still be worn after some mending. You don't have to do it yourself. Mom will make them for you and send them to you after you give birth."
Speaking of giving birth, Li Guifen remembered something else, "You gave birth to your child in the army after one month? Why didn't you come home? If you come home, your father and I can take care of you."
Jiang Manyue nodded. "She's at the army now. She won't have to travel back and forth anymore. She's just a child. Lu Lin and I can take care of her."
Li Guifen had no choice but to pack up her patchwork clothes with regret, "Okay, then your father and I will come to see you and help you with your confinement."
There is nothing wrong with this. There are two rooms in the house anyway. Although Lu Junan's room is called a small room, it is not small. It can accommodate his parents when they come to live with him.
Jiang Manyue readily agreed to Li Guifen's request to visit, but whether she could help with the confinement period was another matter.
Later, Jiang Manyue told Lu Lin that her parents would go to the army to see her when she gave birth, and asked Lu Lin to apply in advance.
The next day, Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin returned to the Jiang family and told Miao Xianghua that because Jiang Manyue had severe morning sickness, they would return to the army the day after tomorrow.
Miao Xianghua also became worried when she heard this. She herself had given birth to six children, and her daughters-in-law had given birth to quite a few children in total, but none of them had vomited so severely.
Just like what Li Guifen said, Miao Xianghua said that when they were pregnant, it was a big deal to be able to eat a meal of meat, and they didn't dare to vomit at all, because vomiting would be a waste of good food.
As for daily meals, it’s good enough to be full. I’m so hungry every day that I don’t have time to vomit.
"This is just because life has gotten better. If we hadn't had enough to eat before, we definitely wouldn't have had this problem."
What Miao Xianghua said was true, but Lu Lin felt a little unhappy.
The mother-in-law thinks that life is too good, but he feels that what he gives to Jiang Manyue is not enough. He can't bear to see Jiang Manyue suffer while pregnant. What will he become then?
After returning from Jiang's house, Lu Lin became more determined to return to the army to see a doctor.
He bought train tickets on the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, and set off early on the fourth day with Jiang Manyue and Lu Jun'an.
Lu Jun'an was reluctant to leave, but since his aunt was not feeling well and needed to see a doctor, he did not dare to delay and obediently followed her back with his luggage.
Li Guifen brought all the pickled vegetables she could from home for them, and also asked Lu Lin to fry several lunch boxes of pickled cabbage for Jiang Manyue to eat on the road.
Thanks to the pickled cabbage, Jiang Manyue felt a little better in the car, otherwise she probably wouldn't be able to eat anything for two days.
When they arrived in Yunzhou, Jiang Manyue looked a little listless and her face looked bad. She even went to the toilet to vomit before getting off the bus.
Lu Lin was extremely worried and rushed back to the military compound. He put down his luggage and took Jiang Manyue to the military hospital.
The military hospital has a special gynecology department set up for female soldiers and their families. Although it is the Chinese New Year period, there are doctors on duty.
Lu Lin made an appointment for Jiang Manyue, followed the doctor's instructions to do a series of examinations, and finally sat in the clinic nervously with the examination list in hand.
"Comrade Jiang Manyue, right?"
The doctor asked casually while looking at the examination report.
Jiang Manyue hummed and asked, "Doctor, I'm vomiting a lot. Is there something wrong?"
The doctor shook his head. "It's nothing, but since you're pregnant with twins, the burden might be a little heavier. You might also feel more aches and pains later on, but that's normal. Don't worry too much."
Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin were a little confused. What twins?
Seeing both of them looking dumbfounded, the doctor was also a little surprised. "Didn't you know they were twins? Didn't you go to the county hospital for a checkup?"
Jiang Manyue shook her head in confusion. The doctor at the county hospital never said she was pregnant with twins. He only said she was pregnant.
"Then he's truly careless. You're pregnant with twins, so your reactions might be different from if you were pregnant with just one. As long as you can eat, vomiting is normal and it's okay. But you should make sure you get more nutrition. After all, two children require more nutrition."
The doctor gave a lot of instructions, but Lu Lin and Jiang Manyue still had confused looks on their faces.
She was about to speak again when Lu Lin suddenly realized, his voice filled with ecstasy, "Twins? Two children at once?"
The doctor nodded helplessly, "Yes, your wife is pregnant with twins. You need to take better care of her and make sure she gets the necessary nutritional supplements."
Lu Lin was so happy that he wanted to go out and run ten laps. He wanted to hug Jiang Manyue excitedly for a while but was afraid of hurting her, so he could only grin and smile foolishly.
"By the way, doctor, do you know whether the baby is a boy or a girl?"
Jiang Manyue was calmer and remembered that there was a doctor next to her who could ask some questions about the child.
The doctor shook his head and said, "The baby is too young to tell the gender yet. If you want to find out, you can come for a checkup when he's five or six months old."
Jiang Manyue thought about it and decided to give up. She would just keep it as a little surprise and draw the prize on the day of her birth.
