Chapter 364: Early Pregnancy Symptoms: Hunger
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Lin family returned from Anhumen Square.
They went to see the statue of the great man hanging high on the Anhu Gate. This is the largest statue of the great man in the country, six meters high and four meters and six wide. This trip to Kyoto was complete.
Wang Chunhua also went with them, so that her newborn child could also see what the greatest man looked like.
The whole family stood under the statue of the great man and gazed up at it for a long time, trying to engrave the style of the border deeply in their minds.
When they returned to Shaanxi, they wanted to show off to the villagers because their family was the first in the village to see the statue of the greatest man, and also the first to come to Kyoto.
In the past few days, the Lin family has followed Lin Qingqing to visit several places and is now able to travel independently.
They still have to stay in Kyoto for a while. Lin Qingqing will be leaving the day after tomorrow. They have to learn everything, otherwise how can they survive.
As soon as Lin Li returned home, he went to the kitchen with his daughters-in-law to work.
Lin Zhiqing is leaving tomorrow morning, so I steamed two baskets of buns and two baskets of steamed corn bread for him to eat on the road. Lin Li also fried a large jar of pickled cabbage with lard residue as a side dish for the steamed corn bread. This is enough for fifteen meals in five days.
Lin Qingqing suddenly smelled a particularly tempting fragrance in the room. She shrugged her nose, broke free from Song Yiyuan's arms, walked out, and followed the fragrance to the kitchen.
I saw Lin Qi packing pickled cabbage dumplings. The whole kitchen was filled with the unique salty aroma of pickled cabbage, and there were bright yellow corn steamed buns in the basket on the stove.
She swallowed and said, "Mom, I want to eat steamed bread with pickled vegetables."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi turned around and saw the little girl clinging to the door frame, looking at the pickles with shining eyes.
She was so distressed that she quickly picked up two steamed buns and put them on the plate, and then filled a bowl of pickles and handed it over.
"Didn't you have enough for lunch? You're hungry so soon. Eat two first and I'll make something delicious for you later."
Lin Qingqing took the plate with a smile and ran back to the house.
Song Yiyuan saw Lin Qingqing suddenly go out and come back with pickles and steamed buns in her hands. He was puzzled: "Qingqing, didn't you eat a lot at noon? Why are you hungry now?"
"Uh-huh."
Lin Qingqing replied nonchalantly.
I put a few chopsticks of pickles into the steamed corn bread and couldn’t wait to take a big bite. The crispy pickled vegetables mixed with the aroma of lard and the thick corn steamed corn bread were so delicious!
She couldn't stop after taking one bite and finished the two steamed buns in one go.
She took the plate to the kitchen, filled herself with two steaming steamed buns, and ran out.
Lin Li called out from behind her, "Ni'er, are you going to eat dinner tonight?"
Lin Qingqing said without even turning her head: "Eat."
There are four rapidly growing embryos in her uterus, which will take away a lot of energy and nutrients from the body, so she will get hungry easily.
Moreover, the embryo in her uterus was generated by the space multiple embryo implantation machine. Her body has now been forced into a pregnancy state, which is equivalent to the fourth week of pregnancy.
Song Yiyuan saw his wife bring back two more steamed buns and ate them up in no time.
He was stunned for a moment and said, "Qingqing, you like pickles so much? I'll make them for you when I get back to the army."
Lin Qingqing touched her belly with a look of satisfaction on her face.
She leaned back in her chair and replied, "I just smelled it and I really wanted to eat it."
I’ve heard before that women’s eating habits change after pregnancy, and it’s true.
She didn't eat pickles before, but today she found them especially delicious.
Song Yiyuan came over and carried her to the bed. After rubbing his palms together to generate warmth, he gently massaged her upper abdomen.
He whispered softly, "Don't eat so hastily in the future, especially at night. It's easy to get indigestion."
Lin Qingqing closed her eyes and nodded, enjoying the man's massage.
At around four o'clock the next morning, Lin Qingqing woke up from her sleep hungry.
She raised her wrist to check the time, and the strong feeling of hunger in her stomach made her lose all desire to sleep.
The noise from the people around him woke Song Yiyuan up. He opened his eyes and saw the woman sitting up and trying to get out of bed.
"Qingqing, you woke up so early?"
The woman turned around and said aggrievedly, "I'm hungry."
After hearing this, the man immediately sat up, got out of bed and put on his clothes.
"Then you sit down and I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything to eat."
Lin Qingqing stopped the man who was about to leave and said, "See if Sixth Brother is up. Let's go out for breakfast."
"Okay." The man responded and pushed the door open.
I saw that the Lin family members were already in the yard.
Lin Zhiqing was going back to Shaanxi today, so they got up to see him off.
Song Yiyuan looked around but didn't see Lin Zhiqing, so he asked Lin Baojun, "Where's Sixth Brother?"
"I'm loading things in the house."
Lin Li came out of the kitchen carrying a large bag of food. Seeing Song Yiyuan washing up, she asked, "Is Ni'er up too?"
"He woke up and said he was hungry. Let's drive Sixth Brother to the train and have breakfast together." Song Yiyuan said with a smile.
"Hungry again?" Lin Li was surprised, then waved his hand and said, "Then go out and eat. The fire hasn't been lit yet."
She turned to Lin Daqing again and said, "Go and urge Xiaoliu."
Lin Daqing let out a cry and ran into the room.
When Lin Qingqing changed her clothes and came out to wash, Lin Zhiqing was putting a bag of food, a bag of clothes and books into the car.
She quickly washed up and got on the car with her bag.
The Lin family stood at the door and waited until the car drove away before returning to the house.
Lin Li muttered quietly: "She's so hungry every day, isn't she pregnant?"
Song Yiyuan drove out of the alley and went directly to the state-owned restaurant where he often bought breakfast.
He ordered three bowls of soy milk, a basket of large meat buns and five eggs.
As soon as the soy milk was served, Lin Qingqing picked it up and drank it in big gulps.
Seeing how she drank it, Lin Zhiqing thought it was delicious, so he picked up the bowl and took a big sip.
“Mmmmm~”
As soon as Lin Zhiqing drank the soy milk, his face turned green. He couldn't spit it out or drink it, and his cheeks bulged like a hamster.
Lin Qingqing glanced at Song Yiyuan and smiled with her eyes squinted like a cat.
In the end, Lin Zhiqing swallowed the soy milk.
"Little sister, this stuff is just like pot water, can you drink it?" His facial features were wrinkled.
Lin Qingqing smiled: "Didn't I tell you, this is a Kyoto specialty. You've come here to see, eat, and have fun. When you go back, you can tell me about your strange experiences in Kyoto."
Lin Zhiqing saw that everyone around him was drinking soy milk and believed what Lin Qingqing said.
He drank the remaining soy milk with difficulty. No matter how unpalatable it was, he couldn't let it go to waste. Not wasting food was a concept ingrained in people of this generation.
