Chapter 85: Pregnancy



Mingmei comes to the hospital quite often.

But it was her first time to see an obstetrician and gynecologist, and she felt a little embarrassed. Although she was married, she always felt that she was not that old. She pursed her lips, and the corners of her mouth were tightly tightened. Zhao Guihua saw that she was a little nervous, held her hand, and said, "It's okay, I'll accompany you."

Mingmei looked up at Zhao Guihua and nodded nervously.

At this time, it seems that having an elder around can make people feel more at ease. Zhao Guihua's presence is always more reassuring than Zhuang Zhixi, a newcomer. Zhao Guihua took the lead and led her daughter-in-law to the obstetrics and gynecology department after registering.

The obstetrician and gynecologist was a fifty-year-old lady. She felt Mingmei's pulse and said with certainty, "Although her pulse is still very weak, the pregnancy should be short, but she is probably pregnant."

Mingmei: “!!!”

She opened her eyes wide in surprise. Although she had such a guess, she was still a little shocked when she knew it. She pursed her lips again and stuttered: "Then, then, then, what should I do?"

Seeing her like this, the old doctor smiled kindly and said, "Don't worry, this is your first baby, right?"

Mingmei nodded immediately.

Zhao Guihua glanced at the stunned young couple and took the initiative to say, "She is young and this is her first child, so it is inevitable that she is a little careless. Tell me if there is anything she needs to pay attention to. By the way, her work is quite hard, I wonder if this will have an impact on her?"

In fact, Zhao Guihua also took care of her daughter-in-law during her confinement period and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

However, it had been so long that she could not remember it, so she had to ask for more details. She acted modestly, and the doctor said seriously, "She is still in early pregnancy, and her pulse is not very obvious. She is probably only one month pregnant. You should be most careful during the first three months of pregnancy. Don't do any heavy work on weekdays, and avoid stretching or bumping. If conditions permit, you can eat better. Now one person is eating for two..."

As doctors, they have seen many different kinds of family members and can tell the general situation from their attitudes. If they meet someone who is willing to care for the pregnant woman, they are also willing to give her more advice. The old doctor is also a woman and knows the difficulties women face the most.

She said, "What does this little girl do for a living?"

Zhao Guihua: "Bus conductor."

The old doctor nodded, and began to understand why he had to talk about work specifically.

She said, "Your job is actually nothing, but in the early stages of your pregnancy, you should avoid walking around in the car while driving. In addition, the car's sudden brakes are not good for you. Generally speaking, you sit in the front and it doesn't affect you, but you still need to be careful. If you encounter a car stop, hold on to some handrails to avoid being shaken. In your case, especially in the first few months and the period before giving birth, you must be extra cautious. If you accidentally fall, you must not be careless, and you must not be casual about it. You must come to the hospital immediately."

Mingmei listened to it, nodded seriously, and said, "I understand."

"Also, it's best not to wear small leather shoes."

Mingmei smiled softly and said, "I know this."

Although they are sitting, they still work all day long. But none of them wears small leather shoes for the sake of beauty, because that would be asking for trouble.

"If conditions permit, eating more fish will be good for the child." The doctor took a look at their clothes. Zhao Guihua's clothes were not conspicuous. She was just an ordinary old lady. It was hard to tell whether her conditions were good or not. However, she was a doctor. As soon as she saw the old lady's complexion and spirit, she knew that this family was well off.

Generally, people's family conditions are poor and the food is worse, so they only eat noodles with vegetables.

But this person doesn't have that condition. His face looks rosy and shiny, which means he must be living a good life.

Of course, even if you don't look at their complexion, just looking at the clothes of the two young people in this family, you can guess that they are well off. She said: "In addition to eating more fish, meat, eggs and milk, you should keep up with it if you can. It's better for the children. But don't eat anything that is too cold."

Zhao Guihua nodded, and then asked, "She hasn't even gotten that far yet, but she's already vomiting and retching. How can you help alleviate her condition? Otherwise, she's suffering too much. How can you make her feel better?"

The doctor asked, "Is it serious?"

This is a question for the person involved.

Mingmei shook her head and said, "It's not serious, and it doesn't happen very often. I just feel like vomiting in an instant. For example, today I felt sick when I smelled the broth, and I felt a little sick a few days ago because I ate meat."

The old doctor said: "It's hard to avoid morning sickness. If you really feel uncomfortable, you can prepare some sour plums or something like that. When you feel nauseous, you can hold one in your mouth. It may make you feel better. Also, if you don't have much reaction when you eat, eat a little less. After all, it's nutritious. You haven't reached the point where you vomit everything you eat, so it's not a big problem. But if you really feel uncomfortable and nauseous, don't force yourself."

Mingmei nodded gently.

"You are in the early stages of pregnancy and this is your first child, so there are many things you need to be careful about. In short, it's never wrong to be careful. If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, don't hold it in. Come over here and I'll take a look at you. Sometimes being careful is good for both you and your baby."

Mingmei said "hmm" seriously.

"Don't have sex in the early stages of pregnancy."

Mingmei's face suddenly turned red. This, this, this... why are you suddenly talking about this?

Zhuang Zhixi's expression began to change. Such a thick-skinned man actually began to feel embarrassed. He coughed once, and then coughed again. Zhao Guihua turned around and said, "If you keep coughing, go out and cough."

Zhuang Zhixi: "Mom, you are too fierce."

"Go away!"

At this time, the doctor realized belatedly: "You are not her mother, but her mother-in-law?"

Zhao Guihua was also confused by the question, and then nodded: "Yes."

The old doctor smiled. Generally, those who care about pregnant women are mothers or mothers-in-law. They only care about the baby in the belly. It is the baby who ignores them. Only mothers care about their daughters. She thought this lady was the mother of the pregnant woman, but she didn't expect it to be the mother-in-law.

Really, I didn't expect it.

So, don't judge a person by his appearance. This old lady who looks fierce is actually very nice to her family.

"According to regulations, pregnant women can be prescribed one pound of dates and one pound of peanuts. Do you want them?" she asked as usual.

In fact, there are many workers in the city, and generally speaking, will choose to buy it. After all, you can buy such a good thing without a ticket, which is something you can't even beg for. It's not that pregnant women can't get it at all. Some people buy it in the name of pregnant women but won't give it to pregnant women. They will make money by reselling it.

Only those living in extremely difficult conditions would choose not to have it.

Sure enough, Zhao Guihua said: "Of course."

She said, "Can we buy more?"

The doctor smiled and shook his head: "No, this is a fixed amount."

She looked up again and said, "Why do you look familiar to me?"

She looked at Zhuang Zhixi and asked this question.

Zhuang Zhixi was no longer as embarrassed as he was at the beginning. He smiled heartily and said, "I used to work in the medical room of the machinery factory. I was the one who connected with the medical supplies of our hospital."

The old doctor suddenly realized what was going on, and she said that the young man looked familiar, and it turned out that he was from the same industry as her.

But he also said "before".

She nodded: "No wonder I thought you looked familiar. I must have seen you a few times in the hospital. What's wrong? You are not in the infirmary now?"

Zhuang Zhixi: "Yes, I was transferred to the Propaganda Department."

The old doctor smiled and said, "Very good."

Probably because she was somewhat familiar with them, she lowered her voice and whispered, "If you feel that the peanuts and dates are not enough, you can go around outside the hospital. Some pregnant women are reluctant to eat them after they are opened, and will take them out to exchange."

In fact, it is selling, but she can't say that.

If it was a stranger, she would not have mentioned it. She saw that this family treated her daughter-in-law very well, and Zhuang Zhixi had contacts with their hospital, so she told them quietly. Zhao Guihua understood and nodded quickly: "Thank you."

"No need. I think you, as a mother-in-law, are a good person."

Zhao Guihua: "Although I look fierce, I do have some good points. I am straightforward, kind, sincere, reasonable, and good to my family."

Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei couldn't help laughing. He really brags about everything! Zhao Guihua: "What are you laughing at!"

She asked back, "Am I wrong?"

How can I say this is wrong?

Zhuang Zhixi: "You are absolutely right. You are just so amazing and so good."

Zhao Guihua nodded contentedly, and Zhuang Zhixi looked up at the sky silently.

The old doctor looked at the family and thought it was really interesting. His children were always well-behaved, and it was rare to see them getting along like this. He looked at them for a few more times and said with a smile, "Your family is quite lively."

Zhao Guihua: "They are all out of tune."

Zhuang Zhixi pursed her lips in a bitter voice, which made the old doctor laugh again. She said, "I don't feel tired at work anymore when I meet people like you."

Zhuang Zhixi: "Are you going to get off work?"

They are the last group of patients.

The old doctor said: "Yes, I will leave work after seeing you off."

Zhuang Zhixi immediately said, "Then we won't delay you. Auntie, I will come to the infirmary to take over sometimes. If there is anything you need to do, just tell me. I am young and can do anything without any effort."

The old doctor said: "No, no, don't look at my age, I am in good health."

That being said, Zhuang Zhixi's words were soothing, and she still smiled. No one dislikes hearing nice words, and no one likes such an enthusiastic young man.

Zhuang Zhixi: "I know, but there are some jobs that are suitable for young people. You have to let us young people perform appropriately. It's a good opportunity to train us young people."

The old doctor said: "Okay, next time you come to the hospital, come sit next to me."

Zhuang Zhixi: “That’s for sure.”

The old doctor smiled and said, "Okay, go down quickly and pay the money to get the red dates and peanuts. They will be off work in a while."

Zhuang Zhixi: "OK."

The three of them went downstairs together. Zhao Guihua was wondering why her youngest son had such a good life in his previous life. He was a man who climbed up the ladder and spoke in a pleasant way. How could he not be good? Sometimes, being a little more tactful makes you more popular.

Sure enough, as soon as a few people came down, Zhuang Zhixi took the initiative to move to the window. Well, he was familiar with the window.

The two nurses at the front smiled and congratulated him. One of them said, "Wait, I'll pick out some big red dates for you."

Zhuang Zhixi: "Thank you, sister."

If it's someone I don't know, I'll just scoop it in and weigh it until it's one pound. But for someone I know, I'll be a little more selective. It's different for big and small people. Mingmei leaned to one side, her long eyelashes fluttering.

Another young nurse curiously looked at Mingmei and saw that she had pigtails and a pretty face. She retracted her head and muttered to the other nurse, "She's so pretty. No wonder Xiaozhuang doesn't like Chen Jing from our hospital."

The older one retorted to her, "Stop talking nonsense. It will affect the relationship between the couple."

Zhuang Zhixi is good-looking and has a stable job. He is actually quite popular with girls. He is also quite popular in the dating market. For example, many of the nurses in their hospital are interested in him.

However, people these days are more reserved, and will not take the initiative even if they have some feelings for someone.

Basically, even if they have an idea, they will find someone to match them up. Even if they know each other, they will still go through this process. However, before anything happened, Zhuang Zhixi found a partner and got married right after.

You know, several young nurses were really disappointed when he got married.

In fact, everyone is more or less curious about what Zhuang Zhixi's wife looks like, but because they are not in the same system and Zhuang Zhixi only comes once a week, they really have no chance to inquire, let alone see her.

Today, I actually saw it.

After seeing this, most people understood it immediately.

Zhuang Zhixi's wife is pretty. Not only is she pretty, but she is also plump and pretty. She is the kind of girl that elders would think is very blessed. Moreover, you can tell at first glance that she has a good personality, with her mouth curled up and full of joy.

"Xiao Zhuang, congratulations."

Zhuang Zhixi: "Thank you, thank you."

Zhuang Zhixi was carrying something and holding Mingmei's arm. Mingmei patted his hand and said, "Don't hold me up. You're exaggerating."

Zhuang Zhixi: “Always pay attention.”

Mingmei: "..."

She feels like a giant panda.

After leaving the house, the family of three walked out of the hospital. Mingmei asked curiously, "Why did they look at me when you went over to get the peanuts and red dates?"

She was a clever girl: "You won't have any luck with women here, will you?"

Zhuang Zhixi felt that he was really wronged, and he quickly said, "That's not true, don't accuse me. After all, we know each other, so I'm a little curious. Besides, what's the point of having good luck in love? What kind of luck do I need when I have you? Besides, I'm not good enough to deserve someone to steal my love, right? I'm just curious. Think about it, if Bai Fendou found a partner, would you be curious and want to see? Oh, no, bah, bah! I can't use him as an analogy, it's unlucky!"

Mingmei burst out laughing.

Zhao Guihua at the side said: "...Bai Fendou and his son are also staying in this hospital, right?"

Zhuang Zhixi: "Yes, he is. I wonder which floor of the ward he is in..."

He looked back, just one glance, and instantly said: "Oh my God!"

Zhao Guihua and Mingmei turned around and said, "Oh my god~"

This person is really something I can’t help but think about.

They were just talking about Bai Fendou, and in the blink of an eye, they saw Bai Fendou sitting at the window. At this time, they had already walked to the gate, but they could still see him from this distance. For some reason, Bai Fendou was sitting at the window, and he seemed to be wiping tears.

Mingmei: "He, he, he's not going to jump off the building, is he?"

Zhao Guihua was calmer than her and said, "Jumping off a building is bullshit. You won't die if you jump from the second floor!"

Zhuang Zhixi: "Yes, what does this person do?"

He said decisively: "I'll go over and take a look."

Mingmei immediately grabbed Zhuang Zhixi and said, "I'm going too."

Zhao Guihua: "All of you go, all of you go. Third brother, please take care of your wife."

At this time, it was not just them. Others also saw Bai Fendou's behavior and immediately pointed and talked. After a while, people gathered downstairs. Although it was already after get off work, there were not many people, but there were also patients in the hospital. Who wouldn't be curious?

This is an egg-smashing maniac.

Zhuang Zhixi and his group of three rushed from the main entrance to the window, and they couldn't even line up in the first or second row. This shows how fast everyone ran when encountering such a thing, it was really as fast as lightning.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the window on the second floor. Bai Fendou was sitting on the window, not saying a word.

"Bai Fendou, what are you doing? Come down from the window quickly, you can't solve the problem like this." Wang Erlaizi from the Security Department felt that he was the most unlucky guy in the world. Why was it his turn to be on duty today?

Because the matter of the Bai family father and son was really disgraceful and they were not yet "free", the security department arranged two people to come and guard the Bai family father and son every day. Today, it was Wang Erlaizi and Wang Wu. Wang Wu went out for something, and just at that moment, he saw Bai Fendou sitting at the window.

Wang Erlaizi: "What bad luck!"

He lit a candle for himself silently. How could he be so unlucky to encounter such a thing? Is there such a miserable person? Yes, there really is! He is.

He cursed Bai Fendou in his heart, but he still tried to coax him in a gentle manner, saying, "Bai Fendou, come down from the window. You are a grown man, but you just sit by the window when something happens. How will others see you like this? How will they think of you in the future?"

Bai Fendou shouted: "I don't care what others think of me. What future do I have? My... is all broken. I won't have children in the future. What future do I care about? I don't have a future anymore."

People watching downstairs: “Wow!”

Wang Erlaizi: "..."

He took a deep breath and said, "The doctor has already said that this may or may not be the case. It's hard to say. How can you know more than the doctor? Why do you label yourself? How can you be so unconfident?"

He said in a gentle voice: "Come down first. No matter what, this won't solve the problem. Look at your dad, he encountered the same thing as you, he was able to take it easy and stay calm, why can't you?"

Bai Fendou: "He has a son, but I don't!"

The old man also yelled, "It's the same whether I have a son or not. My son is incompetent and he always pushes the blame on me. Now that we're all going to have no descendants, what's the point of having a son? Ah, what's the point, you say?"

This father and son are really louder than each other, as if they are afraid that others can't hear what is going on in their family.

At this time, not only downstairs, but also at the door of the ward, a group of people gathered. The doctors on duty and the security guards were all very worried. If this person got into trouble in the hospital, their hospital's reputation would be bad. God knows, they are more innocent.

These days, everyone is more innocent than the other, except the one who wants to jump off the building.

But the person was about to jump off the building, what else could he do? He could only persuade him! "Calm down, please calm down, Uncle Bai, and don't get involved. If you don't persuade him to come down, and you keep making sarcastic remarks, what can you do if it irritates him?"

"What should I do? I don't care what he does! He doesn't respect me, I will just pretend I don't have this son." The old man Bai refused to admit defeat. He was really heartbroken. This matter was clearly his Bai Doufen's idea, and now something went wrong. This time it was all his fault, which made the old man Bai unable to forgive.

He said: "I must have done something bad in my previous life, so I have a son like this in this life!"

He was very upset.

Wang Erlaizi could no longer bear it and said to the security guard, "Please help me drag him to the next ward and stop him from making trouble here."

Bai Fendou was already a little crazy, and this old man kept adding fuel to the fire. Is he his real father?

Wang Erlaizi and the security guard dragged the man together. The white old man said: "Ah... what are you doing, you people who don't respect the elderly and love the young, don't drag me. Why don't you let me speak? I just want to teach this little bastard a lesson. His mother died when he was a child, and I raised him up with great difficulty. Not only does he not give birth to a child for me, but he also pushes the blame on me when something goes wrong. It is a misfortune for my family to have such a son. It is a misfortune for my family."

The old white man screamed.

Everyone was shocked. Bai Fendou, who was sitting by the window, also shouted, "Stop talking nonsense. If you hadn't been so careless, would things have gotten to this point? I admit that I didn't do a good job, but how can you blame me completely? You are my father. Should you protect me at this time?"

The two were hysterical, but it was obvious that the old man seemed to have more reason than Bai Fendou.

But Bai Fendou seemed very sad as well. He cried and tears streamed down his face.

Everyone was stunned to see a grown man crying so hard.

Mingmei leaned against Zhuang Zhixi. She had just found out she was pregnant, so she didn't dare rush forward. It would be bad if she got squeezed or fell.

Although the couple did not want a child at first, they were very happy when they had one. This joy was indescribable, it was just a bubble of joy in their hearts. When Mingmei thought of having a child, she immediately wanted to protect the baby in her belly.

Although there is no such plan.

Plans are plans, and they can't keep up with changes!

This "little accident" also makes people feel very happy.

She covered her stomach and moved towards Zhuang Zhixi again, and Zhuang Zhixi held her hand.

"Let's stay away so that we can avoid getting hit even if he really jumps down."

Mingmei nodded seriously.

Bai Fendou was still hysterical: "I know, I know I went a little too far this time, but did I do anything wrong? I just wanted to make a joke, why did you take it so seriously? What did I do wrong? I've suffered such a big blow, isn't it enough? Do you know how important this... is to a man? Why did you kick me so cruelly. Wuuuu."

He continued to cry, "I just want to help Sister Xiu. Sister Xiu is a woman with three children and a mother-in-law. Her life must be so difficult. Why can't you all understand? Sister Xiu is such a good woman."

Onlookers: “Oh wow.”

Some who didn't know the truth hurriedly asked, "Who is Sister Xiu?"

They had only heard about the broken eggs and didn't know anything about Sister Xiu or not.

As an insider, Zhuang Zhixi was a little embarrassed. He said kindly, "She is an older sister with whom he has a very good relationship."

Everyone suddenly realized: "Wow, I understand."

"I understand."

What do you mean by a good relationship? Just say you are in love.

Bai Fendou was still crying hysterically. Zhao Guihua looked at this grown man and silently sighed that this was not her son. If he was her son, she would break his legs. She would ask him not to be so stupid.

Originally only ten people knew about it, but after he made such a fuss, at least ten thousand people knew about it.

By tomorrow everyone in the city will know that his efforts at the machinery factory were in vain and his eggs were broken.

This kind of self-destruction is so magical that it can't be more magical.

Zhao Guihua always knew that he wanted to get married and have his own children, but this man liked to compare with others and had no idea what was going on. In addition, his father was bewitched by an old widow, so he became more and more reckless and got into trouble.

She did not sympathize with this man, but she was more vigilant. She would stay as far away from the Su family in the future. This family was really ruthless.

Bai Fendou's current situation is caused not only by his own character problems, but also by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Su family.

While Zhao Guihua was thinking, she saw that several people from the security department of their machinery factory had arrived, led by Chief Liu, who was so angry that he really wanted to kick Bai Fendou to death. This bastard had completely disgraced their machinery factory.

When Chief Liu arrived, he didn't even bother to go upstairs, but stood downstairs and shouted, "Bai Fendou, come down. We will look down on you if a grown man dares to die like this."

Then he lowered his head and whispered to Zhang San beside him: "Go to their compound and look for that Wang Xiangxiu."

He clenched his fists tightly, wanting to beat this shameless man to death. Isn't this just a deliberate scare? If you really want to jump off the building, go to the top floor. You are at the second floor window, what the hell is the point of jumping?

Section Chief Liu gnashed his teeth in anger, but he couldn't just curse at him. After all, Bai Fendou was now "disabled", and this man with broken crosses was always fragile and sensitive. If he was really provoked to jump off the building, it would probably not be good.

He said, "If you have anything to say, come down and tell me. You know, I can make the decision on some things. It's no use squatting at the window. Why don't you come down and have a good talk?"

Bai Fendou: "You're talking nonsense. You're just a section chief. What can you do?"

Section Chief Liu: “…???”

Other security department members: "..."

I didn't dare to look at their section chief's face.

Zhuang Zhixi: I didn't look away. I wasn't there. I didn't hear it. I don't know. I was just passing by.

Section Chief Liu took a deep breath and said, "Come down. How do you know I can't make the decision if you don't talk?"

Damn it, damn it! He felt his anger rising, and the next moment he wanted to rush up and slap someone.

Hold on, you must hold on, he is a civilized person, he is a well-educated person.

Mingmei didn't know the security department, so she looked over openly. Seeing the uncle's clenched fist, she whispered, "Is being angry to death considered a work-related injury?"

Zhuang Zhixi: "... not that bad?"

Mingmei raised an eyebrow.

She felt that the uncle seemed really angry.

Zhuang Zhixi glanced at Section Chief Liu again, and saw that Section Chief Liu gave instructions to the person next to him, and that person hurried upstairs silently. Zhuang Zhixi: "It looks like there's no problem."

Mingmei's eyes widened and she sighed, "I really have never seen this before, never seen this before."

Mingmei: “…”

I don't know why, but I feel like this sentence sounds a little familiar.

I seem to hear people say this quite often recently.

But it was true, there were so many things that happened recently. So much so that when she went back to her parents' home, her mother would always ask: What happened in your courtyard recently? Mingmei suspected that her grandfather chose this place because he knew that their courtyard was lively.

It's very possible.

After all, such a lively courtyard is rare.

Mingmei was distracted for a moment, and saw someone quietly appeared behind Bai Fendou. She immediately covered her mouth. The people watching were also shocked and dared not speak.

Section Chief Liu was quite calm and was still talking to Bai Fendou.

Bai Fendou didn't realize there was anyone behind him. Suddenly, he was pulled by someone and fell backwards. Mingmei and the others followed the crowd to see what was going on. Zhuang Zhixi quickly grabbed his wife who was watching the fun and was not afraid of trouble, and said, "Don't push forward."

Mingmei curled her lips: "You underestimate me too much, don't you? I'm still pretty good."

Zhuang Zhixi: “…”

Zhao Guihua: "You don't have to be so restrained, but you should be more careful."

Mingmei: "Okay."

Zhuang Zhixi: “…”

Can you be more hypocritical?

Mingmei was humming a little tune, tiptoeing and looking out. She said, "Let's go upstairs and take a look."

Zhuang Zhixi was very helpless, but he himself was not a quiet person, so he just paused for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go."

Zhao Guihua curled her lips speechlessly and said, "You guys really never stop. I really admire you."

That being said, she walked faster than anyone else.

Zhuang Zhixi: “…”

Zhao Guihua quickly went upstairs. As soon as she reached the stairs, she heard deafening shouting and cursing from the ward. Section Chief Liu was really ruthless, and his cursing was deafening. There were so many people in the corridor that they squeezed to the stairs. Zhao Guihua said regretfully, "You can't squeeze in."

Mingmei: “Oops.”

Zhao Guihua: "It's okay, I'll go over and ask for you guys!"

She was the one who took the initiative to watch the fun.

"Make way, all of you."

Zhao Guihua and the others were just about to rush forward when they heard someone calling from behind. The gossipers turned around and saw Wang Xiangxiu following Zhang San, the two of them walking up together. Zhao Guihua and the other two raised their eyebrows in unison.

Wang Xiangxiu's face was flushed, she kept walking forward with her eyes fixed straight ahead and a look of concern on her face.

"Who is this?"

"Did he smash his wife's eggs?"

"Isn't Dan Sui a bachelor?"

"Then why are you looking for her?"

"Who knows?"

Everyone was talking about it, and at the same time they really made way for each other. Zhao Guihua felt that this was like walking on a flowery path.

Everyone looked at Wang Xiangxiu with confusion and curiosity on their faces.

Wang Xiangxiu's face turned red when she was stared at, but she knew that no matter how she expressed herself, it would be useless at this moment. She coughed lightly and followed Zhang Saner inside. She was really worried about Bai Fendou in her heart.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been so worried about the Bai family and have done everything they can. If he lets her down, she will really go crazy. This man can't be so useless. She bit her lip and felt that she was a woman with a miserable life.

Wang Xiangxiu quickly entered the ward, and Chief Liu arranged for the hospital staff to clear the area, clearly not wanting them to watch the fun. Zhao Guihua returned helplessly and said, "Okay, let's go."

Since they are no longer allowed to visit this place, there is naturally no possibility for them to stay.

Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei nodded and responded.

The two followed Zhao Guihua downstairs. Zhuang Zhixi seemed to be thinking about something and whispered, "I think Wang Xiangxiu has found a way to help Bai Fight."

Zhao Guihua rolled her eyes: "You know it again."

Zhuang Zhixi whispered: "Look how confident she is."

Thinking about it this way, it was indeed the case. Zhao Guihua curled her lips and said, "I'm sure he has bad intentions. Let's go home."

These three people were obviously here to see a doctor, but it was a big deal. Mingmei: "This is the first time I've seen someone jump off a building."

She sighed: "I think this will happen more often in the future."

Zhao Guihua: "No matter how much, you have to take care of yourself."

Mingmei nodded slightly.

They had been out for quite a while, and when they returned home, it was already dark. When they entered the yard, they saw many people sitting in the yard chatting. When they saw the family of three coming back, Aunt Wang hurriedly asked, "How is it? Is your daughter-in-law pregnant?"

Zhao Guihua nodded and said, "It's still early in the month, so I can't really tell, but it's almost there."

There was no such thing as not being able to talk about being pregnant for three months. That was only said later when she became more and more precious. At this time, it was still very casual. Zhao Guihua did not hide it and said, "My third child is going to have children too."

"That's a good thing."

"Congratulations."

Aunt Zhou looked at their family with resentment, and said with a fake smile: "Your belly is round, it must be a girl. Congratulations, you are going to have a granddaughter."

After saying this, she looked at Zhao Guihua proudly. Zhao Guihua remained calm and smiled: "If I give birth to a girl who is affectionate and caring, I will cherish that soft little girl. Look at our little swallow, no matter how naughty these bald boys are, little swallow never gets into trouble."

A group of little Swallows were chasing each other around in the yard. When they heard this, they puffed out their chests with pride. Tiger Head pouted unconvincedly and said, "Grandma, don't you love me anymore?"

Zhao Guihua smiled: "You are also a good child. So, boys and girls are the same, it is the old and uneducated ideas that favor boys over girls."

She changed the subject, rubbed Tiger's head, and said, "Go and play."

Hu Tou was praised by his grandmother and was as proud as a little rooster.

Aunt Zhou looked at them gloomily and said nothing. If it were anything else, she would have jumped several steps. But it was this matter that made her feel weak every time.

Fortunately, Zhao Guihua didn't say more. She said, "We haven't had dinner yet."

Liang Meifen immediately stood up: "Mom, let me heat it up for you."

Zhao Guihua waved her hand: "I can do it myself."

As Mingmei entered the room, her eyebrows furrowed again. Zhao Guihua said, "You don't like the taste of broth, I'll fry something else for you."

Mingmei: "Okay."

She was not being modest at this time; she was really feeling uncomfortable.

This pain is just pain, and she can't pretend. She can endure it herself, but the child can't.

Although she just got pregnant, Mingmei has already started to be careful.

Zhao Guihua quickly served the remaining broth and said, "I'll make you some fried eggs."

Mingmei immediately beamed.

Zhao Guihua did not say anything. In this day and age, eating an egg when you are pregnant is considered precious. Even a girl like Mingmei, who comes from a good family, is happy and smiling. If you think about it, what will this egg mean to you in a dozen years. Zhao Guihua was very skillful. She quickly fried the eggs, cut two cucumbers into shreds, and then mixed some flour. Put it directly into the pan to make the pancake. The aroma of frying rose, and the pancake was quickly formed. Zhao Guihua rolled the egg and cucumber shreds into it to make an egg roll pancake, and said, "Here, I'll give it to you."

Mingmei smelled the smell but didn't feel nauseous at all. She was in a good mood: "Thank you, Mom."

Zhao Guihua: "Stop talking nonsense, go back to your room and eat. The third brother and I will have some meat soup."

She was afraid that Mingmei would feel uncomfortable if she smelled the smell.

Mingmei: "Okay."

Mingmei was deeply moved at this time. It was so important to have a mother-in-law who was knowledgeable and experienced. If it were an ordinary mother-in-law, she would probably think that her daughter-in-law was making trouble.

If you don't even like the broth, what else do you want to drink? This is just pretentious.

But Zhao Guihua could understand it. As a reborn person, she received more consultations than others. She also knew that not everyone likes good things. There are people who don't eat pork. So, she could understand her daughter-in-law's nausea when she smelled snake soup during pregnancy.

Mingmei went back to her room and had her own meal. Zhao Guihua and Zhuang Zhixi also had a good meal.

While eating, Zhao Guihua's eyes drifted, and she saw that the stove she wanted to build had actually been built. Although the cement had not dried yet, it could be seen that it was done very well. Zhao Guihua raised the corners of her mouth, her old man worked quickly.

Zhuang Zhixi didn't pay attention to it at first. Although there was suddenly one more person in the house, he was used to it and didn't feel it. He stood there for a long time after entering the door and didn't react. It was only when he followed Zhao Guihua's line of sight that he noticed this.

Zhuang Zhixi was surprised: "Huh? Mom, why is there an extra piece?"

Zhao Guihua said calmly: "There is not enough space for the stove in our house, so I discussed it with your father and asked him to build one."

Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows and looked at my mother again.

Zhao Guihua: "What are you looking at!"

Zhuang Zhixi: "You can't even take a look at me."

He lowered his head and ate his food with big mouthfuls. He didn't ask another question about the stove.

Zhao Guihua tried to pretend to be calm. Anyway, for the time being, only the old couple knew about this matter. She didn't plan to tell her two sons. These boys all had their own thoughts after getting married.

She didn't want the house to fall into chaos again because of these things.

She said: "Just now..."

Before she finished, Liang Meifen came running in. She pulled a stool over and sat next to Zhao Guihua, and said in a low and hurried voice: "Mom, well, you know what? The Zhou family has decided not to announce the love between Fendou and his son."

Liang Meifen thought this was huge gossip and hurried over to tell her mother-in-law.

Zhao Guihua: “Really?”

She looked at her youngest son and thought that he had guessed it right. She clicked her tongue twice and said, "Today we also saw Bai Fendou trying to jump off the building in the hospital."

"What!" Liang Meifen screamed and asked quickly, "Jumped off the building? Was it just now? Oh, yes, no wonder the security department came to find Wang Xiangxiu just now, it turned out to be for this."

It suddenly dawned on her.

Zhao Guihua: "Did the security department come here to tell you what they were doing?"

"No! Mom, please tell me."

Zhuang Zhixi ate a few mouthfuls quickly. After finishing his meal, he stood up, leaving his mother and sister-in-law behind, and went to the sink in the yard to rinse his mouth. After rinsing his mouth, he returned to the house. Mingmei had also finished her meal and was sitting at the table eating melon seeds, which were her stock.

Mingmei is like a hamster, with her own snack basket.

Zhuang Zhixi came into the room and saw her leisurely appearance, and asked, "Why don't you come out and sit down?"

Mingmei acted scared and said, "If I go out now, I'm sure I'll be the center of conversation. I'd better forget it."

She likes to read other people's gossip, but doesn't like to be the center of gossip.

Zhuang Zhixi came to her side, put his palm on her belly, and said, "Let me feel the baby."

Mingmei burst out laughing and said coquettishly: "The baby is just a little bean sprout now, he probably can't feel it."

Zhuang Zhixi was not convinced and said, "My child is the smartest one even in the belly."

When the couple got married, they wanted to spend more time together and were not in a hurry to have children. But now that they had one, things changed immediately. Zhuang Zhixi wanted to tell the world that his baby was the smartest.

He said proudly: "When the child is born, you will teach him kung fu, and he will be invincible in the world."

Mingmei was speechless: "Why are you fighting for no reason?"

Zhuang Zhixi: "Just learn it. It won't hurt you anyway."

He squatted in front of Mingmei and said, "Starting tomorrow, I will pick you up from get off work."

Mingmei: "???"

She laughed and asked, "Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?"

Zhuang Zhixi: "Of course I need it. This way I feel more at ease. Otherwise, I would feel uneasy when you ride so fast."

Mingmei: "..."

She felt that Zhuang Zhixi was exaggerating. But since he was willing to pick her up, she didn't mind. Zhuang Zhixi: "I'll pick you up tomorrow, and we'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some peach cakes and malted milk. You can have them whenever you want, so you don't have to go hungry."

Mingmei nodded: "Okay."

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll take a leave tomorrow afternoon and go visit my mother-in-law. I have to tell her about this important matter."

Mingmei looked at Zhuang Zhixi and found that he really arranged everything very well. She smiled softly and said, "I'll do as you say."

Zhuang Zhixi: "Don't just listen to me. Think about what else we should pay attention to, and... Oh, yes, I'll write a letter to my second sister to tell her the good news..."

Mingmei: "...You're almost done, wait until the baby is born."

As soon as I got pregnant, I wanted to tell the world.

Mingmei rubbed her belly and said, "I don't know if I'm pregnant with a boy or a girl."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly froze. Zhuang Zhixi asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Mingmei hummed softly and said, "Brother Zhixi, if I gave birth to a daughter, would you like it?"

She looked at Zhuang Zhixi seriously, and Zhuang Zhixi said casually: "Well, don't you listen to what my mother said? It's more considerate to have a daughter."

Mingmei raised an eyebrow.

Zhuang Zhixi: "Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's my child anyway. I'm so smart, and you're so capable, so it's the best for my husband and I to have a boy or a girl. What's there to worry about?"

He glanced at his wife and said, "Comrade Mingmei, you are not biased towards boys, are you?"

Mingmei raised her chin and said, "I am a woman myself, and I still favor boys over girls. Am I sick?"

Zhuang Zhixi laughed and said, "That's fine. It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. I'm such an outstanding person, so the child I give birth to won't be bad."

Mingmei: “…You're really good at blowing.”

Zhuang Zhixi pretended to be serious and asked, "Why? Do you think what I said is wrong?"

Mingmei thought about it carefully and said seriously: "I think what you said..." She stretched out her words and laughed: "It's so true."

Zhuang Zhixi: "That is to say, we are so good. Look at us, we are good-looking and smart. Whether it is a boy or a girl, I think it is good. If a boy is like me, and a girl is like you, anyway, we are not bad-looking, so it is good anyway."

She laughed, feeling somewhat relaxed.

Zhuang Zhixi looked up at Mingmei, stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek, saying, "Don't daydream all day long. You need to rest well and give birth to a plump, white baby."

Mingmei: "I heard that giving birth is very painful."

Zhuang Zhixi: "Don't think about it. Didn't you hear what my mom said? It's the same feeling as having a stomachache. Just think of it as having a stomachache and not being able to find the toilet. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Mingmei nodded and hummed.

In fact, she felt that people were really strange. She had no feelings before, but now that she was diagnosed, she immediately had all kinds of emotions. She was worried that Zhuang Zhixi didn't like girls, that giving birth would be too painful, and that she didn't take good care of the baby. In short, all kinds of emotions came to her mind at once.

Zhuang Zhixi saw that she was a little hesitant, so he held her hand and said, "Let's have one baby and see how it goes. If the first one is too hard, then we won't have a second one."

Mingmei raised the corner of her mouth and asked, "If it's a daughter, can we have one?"

Zhuang Zhixi: "What's wrong with that?"

He said, "It's the same to me. It doesn't matter. No matter if you have one or several children, no matter if it's a boy or a girl, the most important thing is to educate the child well. If you have ten or eight sons, and they are disobedient and naughty every day, and steal like Jinlai, then it's better to have one good one. So it's not a question of whether it's a boy or a girl, or one or two, but whether the child is good or not. We must educate the children well after we have them."

Mingmei nodded slightly: "You are right."

Zhuang Zhixi saw that Mingmei had taken everything to heart, so he smiled and said, "That's right, don't let your imagination run wild. This is not like you at all."

He said, "Come, I'll peel the melon seeds for you."

Mingmei shook her head: "No, I can do it myself. There is not much hot water left. Can you boil a kettle of water?"

Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay."

He quickly carried the kettle and went out to the main house. Mingmei looked at Zhuang Zhixi's back and smiled sweetly.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl to her. Her parents don't favor boys over girls, so Mingmei doesn't want to have a son like most women do. She loves the child she gave birth to after ten months of hard work, whether it's a boy or a girl.

But Mingmei still wanted to know what Zhuang Zhixi thought, after all, they were a family.

Most men want a son.

Those in their family who don't care are the odd ones out.

Mingmei scratched her head. She was not actually dreaming and didn't know whether she would give birth to a boy or a girl. It was so strange. Even when she dreamed of her mother-in-law, the content was vague and she couldn't tell whether she would give birth to a boy or a girl.

But she knew that her mother-in-law Zhao Guihua must know about it.

But Mingmei didn't really want to ask her, so it was good to leave a little suspense.

"Boom boom boom."

There was a knock on the door, Mingmei: "Come in."

Brother Zhixi definitely won't knock on the door.

The person who came over was none other than Lan Sihai. Mingmei quickly offered him a seat: "Grandpa, come and sit down."

Old Man Lan was not polite at all and asked, "Do you need to give up your seat?"

He sat down, looked Mingmei up and down, and said, "I heard you are pregnant?"

Mingmei nodded.

Lan Sihai pursed his lips and nodded, saying, "You are so young, why are you so anxious?"

Mingmei was full of questions, not knowing what her grandfather wanted to say.

Old Man Lan looked outside the door, and seeing that there was no one there, he coughed, and quietly and quickly stuffed a small golden Buddha into Mingmei's hand.

Mingmei's eyes suddenly widened! She stammered, "Oh my God."

Lan Sihai said with disdain: "Can you not look so ignorant? It's really embarrassing."

Mingmei: "...Oh, Coco, I just haven't seen the world!"

She swallowed and said, "This, this, this, is it really made of gold..."

Lan Sihai rolled his eyes and said, "Do I look like someone who sells fake goods?"

Mingmei shook her head: "No, you are the richest."

Lan Sihai nodded, saying that was a good point.

Lan Sihai said earnestly: "Pregnant women are nervous and weak. You are still young, even more so. You need a little weight to hold you down. I tell you, gold is the best. It can hold you down and protect you. Wear it secretly and don't let anyone see it." Mingmei swallowed again and said, "This, this, this... is it given to me?"

Lan Sihai nodded: "I'll give it to you. Don't tell anyone else. It's only for you."

Mingmei's eyes widened even wider.

She asked in a low voice as if she were a thief: "Then no one else has it? My cousin? My cousin? My brother?"

Lan Sihai's eyes flickered, and he said seriously, "Why are you asking so many questions? I've already told you that I'll only give it to you, so keep it well."

Mingmei: "Oh oh oh! Okay!"

She was very excited, with a little excitement, "I knew that grandpa loved me the most."

Lan Sihai nodded: "You don't need to flatter me, since you are my granddaughter."

Mingmei scratched her head.

Seeing her silly look, the old man reminded her again: "Don't let it fall out, otherwise it will be bad to accuse you. I hope to protect you, not to harm you. Hide it deeper."

Mingmei said seriously: "I know!"

The old man nodded: "Okay, I'm leaving."

Mingmei: "Grandpa..."

Old man: "Go to bed early, you look so stupid."

Mingmei made a face, and the old man waved his hand speechlessly and left quickly.

Mingmei looked at her grandfather's thin back and clenched the little golden Buddha in her palm. She blinked, lowered her head and made a smiling face with melon seeds, and smiled at the smiling face.
