Chapter 77 Two Mothers Arrive at the Family Courtyard
It rained in southern Tibet for a week and finally stopped.
"Go and check on the rice." Lin Momo urged Cheng Jinghao while touching her belly.
"Okay, I'll go right away." As soon as he went out, he turned around and shouted, "Wife, look who's here."
"Who is it?" Lin Momo walked out from the main room.
Lin's mother and Cheng's mother were standing in the yard, both of them had their hands full of things, and Cheng Jinghao also had something in his hands.
"Mom." Lin Momo stood there in shock. She didn't expect them to come.
"Are you stupid after seeing me and your mother-in-law?" Mother Lin looked at her daughter with a smile.
"Mom, come in quickly." She finally reacted and greeted the two mothers as they walked in.
"How did you get here from the station?" Lin Momo asked curiously.
"We called a bullock cart at the station. The driver was a nice man. When he heard that we were coming to the military area, he asked us for 1 yuan and sent us here." Cheng's mother said with a smile.
"Wife, please sit with mom first. I'm going to the fields and will be back soon." After pouring water for Cheng's mother and Lin's mother, Cheng Jinghao went out.
"This belly, is it really less than five months old?" Lin's mother asked, looking at Lin Momo's belly, which looked about seven months old.
"Are there really three?" Cheng's mother also asked. Twins are rare at this age, let alone triplets.
"Yes, the doctor said triplets." Lin Momo nodded.
Cheng's mother and Lin's mother looked at each other, worry in their eyes.
"Why don't we go back to Beijing to give birth?" Mother Cheng said, holding Lin Momo's hand. She really couldn't let go of the conditions in this Tibetan area.
"Mom, don't worry. This doctor has delivered many babies for military families. I will be hospitalized in advance. She must be very capable to detect triplets by feeling my pulse." Lin Momo comforted.
"Besides, I can't leave." Rice planting has not yet been completed, and she plans to plant two seasons.
"Forget it, let her be. She has always had her own ideas since she was young." Mother Lin sighed.
"Mom." Lin Momo pulled her mother's hand and acted coquettishly.
Cheng Jinghao came back soon with some meat in his hand.
"Do you still have meat for sale in your military district?" Cheng's mother asked curiously.
"From the cafeteria," he explained.
At night, the two mothers were going to stay overnight, so he started to clean up the room.
"Please prepare a room for the two of us. We are used to traveling together on the train." Lin's mother said with a smile.
"Yes, we sleep in a double room." Cheng's mother agreed.
"Mom, how long can you stay?" Cheng Jinghao asked in a low voice while Lin Momo went back to the room to get something.
"What's wrong? Are you going on a mission?" Cheng's mother still understood her son.
"Um."
"How long will it take?" asked Lin's mother.
"About a week." Cheng Jinghao thought about it and felt that a week should be about right.
Cheng's mother and Lin's mother looked at each other and nodded.
"Then I'll trouble both mothers." Cheng Jinghao breathed a sigh of relief. His mother and mother-in-law came just in time this time.
Originally, he planned to let Lin Momo live next door for a week, but he thought she would definitely not want to.
At night, lying on the kang, Cheng Jinghao talked to Lin Momo about the mission.
"Are you dealing with the Zhang 녊xin case?" Zhang 녊xin had gone out with He Yong and a company yesterday.
"Yeah." He hugged her and nodded.
"Then you must pay attention to safety." Lin Momo looked at him seriously and said, although he didn't say it, she guessed that this was a big operation.
"I know. Just relax and wait for me at home." He kissed her forehead.
"Let it go. There are two mothers here. I will definitely listen to them."
Early the next morning, Cheng Jinghao left.
Commander Chen knew that Cheng Jinghao's elders had come to his house, so he asked the guards to send a large piece of meat.
Mother Cheng knew Commander Chen, and she gave some special products from Beijing to the guards to take back.
"Is your father in good health?" Lin Momo privately called Commander Chen "Dad", and the Cheng family knew about this.
"It's fine, Mom, do you want to go check it out?"
"It's better not to go. There are too many people in the family compound and your relationship is not open." Mother Cheng shook her head.
Knowing that the elders from the Cheng family had come, Li He and others came over to say hello.
The next day, the two mothers packed up the things they brought from Beijing.
Both of them brought a lot of snacks and nutritional supplements bought from the Beijing Department Store. Cheng's mother even exchanged some overseas remittance coupons with someone else and bought some things at the overseas remittance store.
The two mothers have clear responsibilities. Cheng's mother helps with housework, and Lin's mother helps make clothes for the children.
"We have to hurry up and make some clothes for Momo. Her belly is getting bigger and she will soon be unable to wear the clothes she's wearing." Mother Cheng touched Lin Momo's belly and said to Lin's mother who was making clothes.
"I really don't know what to do. You said the baby will be born in winter, how big should it be?" Mother Lin was worried. She had never seen a belly of a woman pregnant with triplets.
"Let's make it bigger. Then change it to a smaller one after the birth." Mother Cheng said with a smile.
"Actually, there's no need to do it. I can just wear Brother Jinghao's military coat." Lin Momo said while drinking soup.
She now eats small meals frequently every day, and there is always food prepared for her on the stove.
The two mothers looked at each other and thought that Lin Momo's idea was a good one. After all, they couldn't go out in the winter when they were pregnant with triplets. It was better to burn a coal stove at home and wear a military coat.
"Then I'll make a few pieces to wear inside." Lin's mother said with a smile.
"When I get back, I'll knit you a few big belly sweaters and send them to you. You can take them apart and knit them again after you give birth." Cheng's mother also said with a smile.
When Cheng's mother went to cook, Lin's mother held Lin Momo's hand and said, "Your mother-in-law is a good person. She kept talking about you along the way, worried that you would feel uncomfortable with your third child."
"Mom, I know. Since I started joining the army, all the tickets for her and my father-in-law have been sent to me." Regardless of whether they could use them or not, they were all sent to me.
"You know what, when you send things in the future, send more to them. After all, your father and I still have your two brothers and sisters-in-law." Mother Lin said to Lin Momo.
Cheng Jinghao is the only child of the Cheng family. Since he is so far away, he should take better care of the Cheng family.
Lin Momo nodded, but in her eyes, both parents were the same, and she couldn't favor one over the other just because she had a brother and a sister-in-law.
More than a hundred kilometers away, He Yong sat on the ground and munched on dry food. He watched Zhang Xin urinating not far away and making marks.
Except for the oil in the front car, the rest are all water.
Cheng Jinghao and others have already set out and are lying in ambush at the new "oil depot" address.
At this time, Zhang Xin came over and He Yong handed him a cake.
"Thank you so much this time, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten this job." Zhang 녊xin was the nominal captain this time, and He Yong was the deputy captain, but Zhang 녊xin actually didn't know the address.
"We are all new here. I just told my grandfather that you usually take care of me." He Yong shook his head.
"How far is it?" Zhang Xin asked casually.
