Only then did she realize that she was also pregnant, but she didn't know whether the baby was a boy or a girl. She had never discussed the issue of the boy or girl with Qin Xiao before.
Although family planning is not implemented now, some men are hot-tempered and want a son, so they keep giving birth to a daughter. In the end, their wives always give birth to girls, and the blame for not being able to give birth to a son falls on the wives.
She did not comment on other people's affairs, exchanged a few words with Aunt He, and then closed the back door.
Qin Xiao had already rushed over, extremely anxious, "Wife, the roads are slippery on a snowy day. What are you doing here? What if you fall?"
Ji Xia stopped by the vegetable garden and asked, "Brother Xiao, did you dig this vegetable garden?"
"Yes, I'm worried that you may not have fresh vegetables to eat when living here. The commune supply and marketing cooperative sells them, but they are not fresh, and you have to go buy them very early in the morning. I have to do exercises in the morning and don't have time to buy them, so I plan to grow some myself." Qin Xiao said as a matter of course.
"But I don't know how to plant." Ji Xia said in embarrassment.
"How can I ask my wife to farm? Farming is so dirty, and she needs to pick manure for the vegetables to grow well. You don't have to worry about it. I will turn the soil first. I plan to freeze all the insects in it to death. Then we can plant the vegetable seeds next spring and eat fresh vegetables." Qin Xiao had some longing, but also some doubts that his wife was not someone who could farm.
Ji Xia said, "Brother Xiao, if you plant Chinese cabbage, you definitely won't be able to grow lettuce, right?"
Qin Xiao was stunned by the question. Why would his wife ask such a question?
Ji Xia leaned over and hugged Qin Xiao's narrow waist, pressing her face against his back, her palms revealing his well-defined abdominal muscles. "Honey, do you like boys or girls?"
Qin Xiao understood immediately. He had also heard the mother of the deputy battalion commander of the third battalion scolding her daughter-in-law. His daughter-in-law must have had a psychological trauma and was worried that he would dislike her if she gave birth to a girl.
Qin Xiao had never taken the trivial matters at the home of the deputy battalion commander of the third battalion to heart, but now he was truly disgusted with the old woman.
Qin Xiao turned around and hugged his wife in his arms, "Wife, I like girls. It would be great if we could have a daughter like you."
Ji Xia didn't believe it, so she looked up at him and met Qin Xiao's deep brown eyes. They were truly crystal clear, like glass, and the light emanated from the bottom of his heart, shining brightly.
There is no more beautiful pair of eyes in this world.
For a moment, Ji Xia thought that in the future her child must also have a pair of eyes like his father's, bright and dazzling, and the light emanating from them can illuminate people's hearts.
At this moment, she believed it.
Qin Xiao saw her expression change several times, and his heart was lifted and then relaxed. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief. "My father has three brothers. My eldest uncle has three sons, and my second uncle has three sons. I have an older brother who works in the Ministry of Education. I am also a boy. I have only one younger sister, Wanxue, who is a treasure in our family."
This was the first time Ji Xia heard him talk about the Qin family. When her mother-in-law came, she only mentioned her father-in-law and Wanxue, but not her eldest brother. She couldn't help but ask, "What about your eldest sister-in-law? Doesn't she have any children?"
Qin Xiao pursed his lips, as if he was reluctant to mention it, "They have been married and still have no children."
"How many years have you been married?" Ji Xia asked.
"Three years."
"Oh, that's not that long. The relationship between parents and children is a matter of fate. Maybe it's not the right time yet." Ji Xia comforted.
Qin Xiao smiled and looked down at his wife. His wife was really pretty. No matter how he looked at her, she looked pretty. "Let's not talk about others. You must be hungry. I've already prepared breakfast. How about some noodles?"
"Yeah, I'm hungry!" She touched her stomach and was led in by Qin Xiao to have breakfast.
On the table was a bowl of pickles and a bowl of stir-fried cabbage with meat. The cabbage should have been brought from home last time, as Qin Xiao had left it in the cellar. It was just right for her to take it out and eat.
There were two large bowls of noodles. Ji Xia's bowl had two poached eggs on top, while Qin Xiao's bowl only had noodles.
"It was more than I could eat."
Ji Xia used a bowl to pick out the noodles and put a poached egg into Qin Xiao's bowl. "It's best for everyone to eat only one poached egg a day. Eating too much will make you sick."
Qin Xiao would not believe it. These days, people only get sick from not eating enough or eating poorly. He had never heard that eating too many eggs would make one sick. But his wife felt sorry for him, so he would not refuse her kindness.
However, he never ate the egg. After finishing the noodles, seeing that Ji Xia was full, he picked up the egg and coaxed her, "Just eat one bite, I'll eat the rest."
Ji Xia shook her head and pushed the half bowl of noodles she had set aside to him. "You eat it. I really can't eat any more."
Qin Xiao went to wash the dishes. When he came out, he saw the table full of snacks, including salted plums, pickled chicken feet in a small bowl, dried fish, raisins... and many other snacks that he didn't recognize.
"You are also inferior to him!" Ji Xia put a green oval-shaped salt fruit into his mouth. Qin Xiao took a bite and it was so sour that his eyebrows almost fell off.
"Is it good?" Ji Xia bit a piece of chicken feet. The chicken feet was very spicy and tasted very flavorful.
"Okay. But you eat it!" Qin Xiao didn't dare to eat it anymore. He wrote down the snacks and planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative when he had time and buy some if he saw any.
From now on, he will have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative more often. There will be one more mouth to feed at home. It can be seen at first glance that he is a greedy cat.
She was so greedy in her mother's womb, she must be a girl.
Qin Xiao felt very excited just thinking about it.
The two went to the county hospital. As Ji Xia had expected, there was no B-ultrasound there. The only examination the doctor could do on Ji Xia was to measure his blood pressure and listen to his heartbeat with a stethoscope.
