"Alas, this is also my fault. I said before that I would save some meat coupons and egg coupons, but in the end I exchanged some of this and some of that. I tell you, from now on, the egg coupons and meat coupons in the house are not allowed to be exchanged. As for the twins, they must have a double confinement period, otherwise it will be very harmful to their health." Chen Congying smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.
Ji Xia felt that her mother-in-law's meat restriction campaign might have been a prelude to the announcement of this news. Sure enough, now that everyone in the family had been shocked, she felt fulfilled.
At this moment, no one cared about whether to eat meat or not. Qin Wanxue immediately looked at Ji Xia's belly and said, "Oh my god, it's true, Xia Xia, you are so amazing. You are pregnant with two babies at once."
Qin Wangdong glanced at Ji Xia and said to Chen Congying, "Then can you quit? Two children at once, someone has to take care of them!"
Chen Congying no longer had the aura of a professional elite. He raised his chin and said, "That's right. I'm definitely going to retire. It's a good opportunity to give up my position. If I don't take care of this grandson, who will?"
Old Master Qin laughed and pushed the half bowl of braised pork in front of him to the middle of the table. "Eat, let's eat together. Today is a good day. Two pieces of meat per person. Eat them all!"
He said to Chen Congying, "I still have some tickets. I'll save them for Xia Xia's confinement. The meals at home will be whatever they want."
Qin Xiao finally coughed out the rice grain that had choked his trachea. He wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and first cared about his wife. He felt so distressed when he saw that she couldn't even get close to the table to eat.
I secretly made up my mind that after giving birth to this child, I would never have another one. My wife has suffered too much for the sake of a child.
"Mom, you still have to eat meat. As for the meat tickets, Xiao will find a way." Ji Xia also spoke after seeing her mother-in-law finished showing off.
Qin Xiao also said hurriedly, "Well, I'll find a way to get some meat back later."
Qin Changshuo said, "I'll find someone to exchange some. With so many people at home, I can always find a way to get some meat and egg coupons. We can just not eat meat for the time being!"
Qin Wangdong said, "I'll get some tickets too, and then I can ask someone to exchange them for more."
Ji Xia offered her half bowl of braised pork, but no one ate it, and in the end it all went into her stomach, including the three pieces she had given to Qin Xiao before.
After taking a shower, Ji Xia sat in the room and slowly combed her hair. Qin Xiao was in the old man's study downstairs. The few of them were probably still discussing the issue of resisting the US and aiding Vietnam.
Because she was pregnant, she was not asked to take care of these important matters. The main reason was that they were afraid that her body could not handle it. Although the Qin family was loyal and patriotic, they would not let even a pregnant woman go.
Chen Congying came in carrying a large bundle and put it on the bed. "Xia Xia, this is the clothes I made for the child. I didn't know there were two, so I only prepared one. Oh, it's less than three months away. I'm going to the hospital to apply for retirement tomorrow. I'll have time later. It should be in time."
If there is really no time, prepare what you need right now and prepare later slowly.
Ji Xia was shocked when she saw how big the bundle was. Her mother-in-law could only see her two slender legs when she held it in her hands. On top of the bundle was a bundle that couldn't even fit through the door.
At this moment, when she opened the bundle, she saw that it contained everything from palm-sized sweatshirts to winter clothes for three-year-olds. She felt really upset. There were many supplies for children in her space, so she didn't prepare anything for the child.
Besides, her hands can hold a gun, but not a needle.
"Mom, this is too much!" Ji Xia said.
"What's the big deal? Children grow up so fast. This is just one child, and there is another one. Oh, grandma doesn't know. She hasn't prepared anything for my two lovely grandchildren. Grandma will prepare it in a while." Chen Congying said while looking at Ji Jixia's belly.
Ji Xia couldn't stop her. Most elderly people in the world were like this, their love for their grandchildren was sincere. She said, "Mom, are you really not going to work anymore? You're not even old enough to retire yet."
"It's nothing, it's only half a year. I'll figure it out by then. No matter how important your work is, it's not as important as taking care of your grandchildren. You're inexperienced, and I'm not home, so taking care of one is already a problem, let alone two."
Originally, Ji Xia planned to give birth in Bing County so that her mother could help take care of her. However, because of the May Day award ceremony, she came to Jing City, and it was unrealistic for her to go back.
It is said that giving birth is like going through the gates of hell. The medical conditions in Beijing are still better, especially the military hospitals, which are full of experts. She still cherishes her life. Dying on the battlefield is a worthy death, but dying in the delivery room is really a loss.
Chen Congying took out the clothes and diapers for the newborn baby, put everything else in a bag, and left happily.
Ji Xia found it a little funny to see the clothes on the bed which were so small that they wished they were only as big as Qin Xiao's palm.
She took out a few sets of pure cotton baby clothes from the space. If the baby was born prematurely, it would be in June, when the weather was hot. The clothes she took out were very thin and breathable.
Seeing that the clothes prepared by Chen Congying were all washed clean and beaten repeatedly with a wooden stick to make them very soft, Ji Xia washed them in the washing machine for washing underwear in the space and hung them inside to dry.
At about eight o'clock, Qin Xiao came in. Seeing the clothes on the bed, he felt very curious. However, he did not take them rashly. Instead, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands, then picked up the clothes and gestured with his hands.
Then he came forward and touched Ji Xia's belly, feeling guilty, "I didn't expect it would be twins. I'm sorry for making you suffer!"
Ji Xia didn't feel any hardship. She didn't have morning sickness, and she didn't even experience the edema in the middle and late stages that others had talked about. It might be because she drank the space spiritual spring water. Everything was comfortable and there was nothing unusual.
"It's okay. Besides, I like children too. But when the baby is born, you have to help me take care of it." Ji Xia leaned on him and looked up at his strong chin.
He had some blue stubble on his face, which made him look very sexy.
Qin Xiao hugged her, his hand covering her belly, "Okay, after the baby is born, don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."
Ji Xia smiled and said, "You said it, so you must keep your word?"
"Yeah." Qin Xiao really intended to do so, but some things cannot be said too confidently. "If I have to go to the battlefield, I might break my promise. Sorry!"
When Ji Xia heard the words "going to the battlefield", her whole body stiffened. She knew too well what a battlefield was. She had been to a war zone before, and those who were able to come back alive were blessed by God.
"I don't blame you, and you don't have to say sorry to me. If there really is a war, you go to the battlefield. I am also a soldier, and I also have the obligation to go to the battlefield. We will fight side by side." Ji Xia said.
"No, I'll go alone." Qin Xiao hugged his wife. He knew her identity and past, but since she was married to him, he could go to the battlefield alone.
