Bleeding from the spiciness?
Without a second thought, Jiang Shuyin immediately cast a healing spell on him.
After the green light entered, Alvin calmed down: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Jiang Shuyin turned her face away and greeted her mother, "Alvin can't eat anything spicy, so let's eat something light."
Zheng Lanxiang nodded repeatedly; she also felt that she had meant well but had done something wrong.
Alvin ate a hearty breakfast, and after that, he had nothing to do. He didn't cling to her; he went back to his room, leaned against the bed, and lazily took a nap.
After returning to her room, Jiang Shu asked the system, "What's wrong with Alvin?"
[A high level of progesterone was detected, strongly suggesting pregnancy.]
The system's database experienced a momentary malfunction.
Whose child is it after it's born?
Jiang Shu laughed out loud: "You've learned to joke too? He's a male merman, I've never heard of men getting pregnant and giving birth."
[Who said he was male? His second differentiation was interrupted, and he's currently in estrus after differentiation, making him most likely to get pregnant.]
“So…” Jiang Shuyin squeezed out the first two words with difficulty, but she knew exactly what she was going to ask next.
It's blood.
Her egg also needs blood to hatch.
Jiang Shuyin locked herself in her room until lunchtime.
Zheng Lanxiang came over and called her.
Jiang Shu hesitated and said, "I'm full from eating snacks, you guys eat."
Zheng Lanxiang had no suspicions and she and Alvin finished all the food they had prepared.
"Where did all that food go? Your belly doesn't seem to be getting any bigger." Zheng Lanxiang looked him up and down.
Alvin smiled sheepishly: "It'll be bigger in a few days."
Zheng Lanxiang burst into laughter at his joke.
Alvin was serious. Merfolk have flat and firm abdomens. In just a few days, their uterus will gradually thicken to protect the fragile embryo, and their lower abdomen will protrude slightly as the embryo develops.
Pregnancy is extremely taxing on the body. One body has to support two life forms at the same time, one of which is developing at an astonishing rate, requiring a multiplication of nutrients and energy.
In this way, the mother body will trigger a series of energy-saving mechanisms to regulate the balance.
That's why Alvin started to become sleepy, had a larger appetite, and so on.
Because he had slept for an unusually long time before, he was only taking a short nap now.
After finishing her work, Zheng Lanxiang would watch the news when she had nothing else to do.
It's become a habit.
Seeing the live interviews of the events held in Anshi on TV made me quite excited; it had been a long time since I'd gone out shopping.
In an effort to boost the economy, the newly appointed Vice Mayor Shangguan has set up a 15-day pilot secondhand market at Lianhu Square.
The stalls are selected by lottery on-site, and they sell unused home appliances, clothes, etc., which can be exchanged for task points. Bartering is also supported, and most of the stalls are run by individual family units.
"Xiao Yin, let's go take a look. We can sell the old rice cooker and clothes we don't wear anymore to save space," Zheng Lanxiang said enthusiastically.
As he spoke, he got up to pack his things.
Seeing that her mother was determined to go, Jiang Shuyin was willing to accompany her out for a stroll.
In a few quick movements, Jiang Shuyin tidied up a large pile of useless things. She glanced at them and found that most of them belonged to Jiang Jianli.
It's time to sell it.
Zheng Lanxiang suddenly shouted and walked out, staring blankly at her: "We don't have a car. Even if you're strong, it's not easy for you to carry all this stuff. Besides, Lianhu Square is seven or eight kilometers away from here. Let's just forget about it."
How can we just let it go?
She put on a mask and hat and went out, still wearing the same black cotton-padded coat she wore that morning: "I'm going out for a bit. It's really inconvenient that we don't have a car. All the parking spaces are taken by other people."
Zheng Lanxiang: "Then what are you going to do? It's too much trouble for them to borrow a car."
Jiang Shuyin: "It's really troublesome. Just buy one. It needs to be spacious enough to hold all this stuff, and the chassis needs to be high so you won't get carsick so easily."
Zheng Lanxiang clicked her tongue: "How much money do you have? You're going to buy a car just for this pile of garbage? If you're so rich, just let me keep it all. Ask me for it when you need it."
Jiang Shuyin smiled and refused: "It's better to keep the money in my own hands. I also need to use the car regularly, so it's not a waste."
"They're gone." The voice rose slightly.
Alvin rolled over inside the room.
——
The car city is separated from the garden community by only a railway track, but the development of the two places is ten years apart.
Her home is near the city center, and the original inhabitants were relocated twenty years ago. The other side of the railway track is still farmland and fishing area. She has been hoping for relocation for more than 20 years, but it has been repeatedly postponed because of this railway monorail that can be found in historical records.
The construction of the automobile city is integrated with the rural areas, covering a wide range of brands and a large area.
Jiang Shuyin took a taxi over and looked around as she walked.
The car company employees were chatting in a group with the heater on, and since she was just passing by, no one came over to greet her.
She's just a little girl; how much money could she possibly have in her pocket? Even if she managed to get a loan to buy a car, the down payment would be a struggle.
Even if a traditional sedan has a large interior space, the trunk can't hold much stuff. Jiang Shuyin just looked around and moved on to the next store.
The woman in the short skirt with her hair neatly tied up complained to the top salesperson: "See? She's just passing by for fun. If I went over there, it would have been a complete waste of my time."
The top salesperson seemed thoughtful: "Let's make a bet."
......
Jiang Shu walked nearly 2km without finding a suitable place.
She has limited knowledge about cars and doesn't know what the type she wants is called.
