Lu Ting and his cousin unloaded the New Year's goods and fabrics and cotton for making clothes for the children from the car one by one, and pulled Su Yan to sit down and chat with her grandparents for a few words.
He told them that his wife was pregnant again, and that she was carrying more than one child. He asked his grandfather to make a few more sets of winter clothes and quilts for the children, and to use the remaining cloth to make small cotton shoes.
The Hua family was shocked to learn that Su Yan was pregnant with twins. They also blamed Lu Ting, saying that his wife was not even three months pregnant yet, so how could he tell anyone about it? They also said that telling this before three months would affect the babies in her belly.
Lu Ting wanted to retort that they were superstitious, but he knew they said that because they cared about their wife, so he could only lower his head and let them criticize him as they pleased.
Su Yan, who was watching from the side, found it funny. Fortunately, they would not tell her in person. The reason why she could not tell anyone about the first three months of pregnancy was because the fetus was unstable and miscarriage was easy to occur. Those superstitious people said that it was easy to alarm the fetus in the early stages of pregnancy, and the baby in the belly was stingy, so they spread rumors that the baby was easy to miscarry.
Although Su Yan was not that superstitious and did not tell anyone about it, she told them because she wanted to ask her grandfather to make clothes for her child.
Only her colleagues in the department and her parents on both sides knew about her pregnancy, and her neighbors were unaware of it.
As for whether her mother-in-law had made it known, she didn't know.
After leaving the Hua family, the two quickly got into the car and drove back in a hurry. When they were almost at the gate of the Lu family, Su Yan put three sacks of fruit in the back seat.
After parking the car, Lu Ting didn't turn off the engine. Instead, he told Su Yan, "Yan Yan, you get in the car. I'll ask Lu Jinhe to come out and help carry the fruit."
"I don't know if my son is asleep. Why don't we take him back home?"
"It's better not to. It's getting late. I think my son is already asleep."
After Lu Ting finished speaking, he began to bang on the door of the compound. Lu Fengnian came out wearing a coat and asked, "Are you not coming back to take Yiming home? It's cold, and Yiming has taken off his clothes. Let him sleep here tonight."
"Dad, we're not here to pick up Yiming. I brought some fruit back for you. Tell Lu Jin to get up and store the fruit in the cellar."
"Store in the cellar? Are you planning to do fruit wholesale?"
"Okay, Dad, let's carry the fruit into the yard first, and then you and Lu Jin can carry it to the cellar later."
"Lu Jin is asleep."
Well, his younger brother was asleep, so he, the eldest brother, had to move the fruits into the vegetable cellar.
Lu Ting and his son Lu Fengnian carried bags of fruit to the backyard cellar, and Su Yan sat in the passenger seat waiting for him.
After Lu Ting finished his work, the two drove back home. When they went upstairs, Lu Ting whispered in Su Yan's ear: "Yan Yan, does your sister-in-law seem to be ill?"
"Why are you calling someone sick?"
"How could I say she was sick, Yanyan? You misunderstood me. My dad told me that my sister-in-law has been taking Chinese medicine these past two days. If she doesn't get treatment, it might affect her fertility."
"What's wrong? Is it a blocked fallopian tube?"
"No, my dad didn't tell me what the specific illness was. He just said that if she didn't get treatment, it would affect her ability to have children. I also said that Lu Jin had a rough life and always encountered some bad things.
"As the saying goes, good things come to those who wait. He will surely get better one day. I'm worried that my sister-in-law will be very upset and devastated.
Think about it, I can get pregnant several times, and she, a newly married bride, must be very uncomfortable after not getting pregnant for so long."
"Well, luckily Lu Jin is a doctor himself. He should know how to cure his wife. Don't worry."
"Lu Jin is actually good at internal medicine, but who knew he would be assigned to pediatrics in the end. He probably isn't very good at gynecology, so he certainly can't be of much help."
She had been interning in obstetrics and gynecology for a few months, and as a woman, she knew a little about gynecological diseases. She couldn't compare with the old doctors, but she would definitely crush Lu Jin.
The next evening after get off work, she went to Lu's house and asked Chen Yuhe what was going on. Chen Yuhe told her that she had pelvic inflammatory disease and endometrial polyps.
"Sister-in-law, are uterine polyps the same as uterine fibroids?"
"No! Endometrial polyps are caused by endometrial hyperplasia or inflammation that stimulates the endometrium. Do you actually have gynecological inflammation?"
"I don't know. I've had stomach aches since my period started. Could it be inflammation?"
"That could be the case, or there could be other reasons. Since you've gone to the doctor, you must take good care of yourself and avoid certain foods. If inflammation isn't treated, it can easily recur, and it will definitely affect your ability to have children in the future."
But don't be afraid now. Take your medicine regularly, keep warm, eat a light diet, bathe frequently, and change your underwear frequently. The inflammation will eventually go away. Relax, and the baby will be born sooner or later."
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for your good wishes."
It's just gynecological inflammation, not any other serious illness. As long as it is cured, she will definitely be able to have a child. After all, Chen Yuhe is still so young.
Su Yan lowered her head to look at the medicine pot on the coal stove. Although the pot was covered with a piece of yellow paper that wrapped the medicine, it still couldn't block the strong smell of the medicine.
Smelling the medicine, Su Yan couldn't help wanting to vomit again. She took out a small paper bag from her pocket, opened it, took out a small piece of red ginger and put it in her mouth.
It's really pitiful. She has to drink so many doses of Chinese medicine. Even if the inflammation is temporarily cured, she doesn't know when she can get pregnant.
Some people want to have children but can't, while some people don't want to have children but have to abort or throw away the baby when they get pregnant. God really likes to play tricks on people.
"Sister-in-law, take good care of yourself. Tomorrow I'll ask Lu Ting to bring you some honey and brown sugar. Women eat more brown sugar and honey to nourish their bodies."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Can we have these two together?"
"Yes, it's good for your bowels and eyes. It's also effective for treating physical weakness, uterine cold, and dysmenorrhea. In short, drinking brown sugar and honey water is good for women."
“…”
There was originally a lot of brown sugar in the space cafeteria, and only about 30 kilograms of it had been used over the years. There were also four large bags of white sugar, each weighing 100 kilograms.
The area that has the most space now is honey. The beehives are harvested once a year. There are a total of twenty beehives on the mountain and in the medicinal fields. One beehive can produce more than twenty kilograms of honey. She can harvest four to five hundred kilograms of honey a year.
Between giving to friends and family and selling domestically, at least eighty to ninety kilograms are consumed a year, and the rest is packed in glass jars.
The next day at noon, Lu Ting came to the Lu family with five pounds of brown sugar and a glass jar of honey as Su Yan instructed.
"Sister-in-law, Yanyan asked me to bring this to you. Make one or two cups a day. It's good for your health."
"Brother, why are you giving so much? How much does it cost? I'll give you the money."
"No need, this is a little gift from your sister-in-law. Yiming is still at home, so I'll go back first."
Chen Yuhe thought her sister-in-law would give her brown sugar and honey, and thought she would give her a pound of it, but she didn't expect it to be so much. How could she repay this favor?
