After taking the medicine, Qin Xiaoyun's complexion quickly recovered, and she felt more energetic. She was in a good mood to talk. "Jinyue, do you think it's too early for me to buy things for the child?" Her mother said she wanted to buy her children a few pairs of tiger-head shoes today. Tiger-head shoes are usually hard to find, and can only be bought at the market or around the Dragon Boat Festival.
"It's not too early, but the clothes sold in the market now are all summer clothes. Children won't be born until the Chinese New Year, so I'm afraid they won't be able to wear them even if I buy them." Su Jinyue said.
"I thought so too," Qin Xiaoyun said with a smile. She had told her mother many times, but as soon as she saw something for her child, she couldn't help but buy it. Now the whole house was filled with them, including a crib and a stroller.
"You can buy some storybooks and ask Zhan Yifeng to read them to your unborn baby. You can also play some music." Su Jinyue suggested.
Qin Xiaoyun looked down at her belly. "Can he hear it?"
Su Jinyue nodded. "Prenatal education is beneficial to the growth and development of the fetus, promoting its healthy physical and psychological growth, enabling the fetus to establish conditioned reflexes, and thus promoting the maturation of its brain function, body movement function, sensory function, and nervous system function."
"There are so many benefits?!" Qin Xiaoyun and Wang Meizhen were both surprised.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded. "The fetus will begin to have more complex physiological reflex functions from the fifth week, and has formed sensory and tactile functions by 10 weeks. The fetus begins to respond to sounds around 17 weeks, and has formed hearing, taste, smell, and vision functions by 30 weeks. It can hear the mother's heartbeat and external sounds. At this time, the mother's every move can affect the fetus."
"Then I'll go buy some more books and have Yifeng read to the baby every day," Qin Xiaoyun decided. If Jin Yue hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known there were so many things to pay attention to during pregnancy.
While a few people were chatting and laughing, the car had already driven into the town.
"I'll get off here." Jiang Wenxiu, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.
Su Jinyue pulled the car over, pushed open the door, walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk.
"Doctor Su! Goodbye!" Jiang Wenxiu took out her luggage, smiled at Su Jinyue, and walked away. The more she spent time with Su Jinyue, the more she felt her extraordinaryness.
Su Jinyue drove to the place where she had agreed to meet with Fang Shuyi, only to see her standing on the roadside waiting for them with a pile of bags at her feet.
Seeing Su Jinyue's car stop, Fang Shuyi waved to them happily, "In-laws! Doctor Su! Xiaoyun!"
Qin Xiaoyun pushed the door and got out of the car. Seeing the pile of things at Fang Shuyi's feet, she was speechless, "Mom! Why did you buy so many things again?" Every time she went back to Qin's house, her mother would stuff a bunch of things for her to take back, and her room was almost full.
"I bought it because it was cheap. It contained two cans of milk powder. I bought it at the Friendship Department Store. The waiter told me that milk powder is especially good for the baby if pregnant women drink it," Fang Shuyi said as she touched Qin Xiaoyun's belly. "My little grandson will grow up healthy after eating it, right?"
When Qin Xiaoyun saw Fang Shuyi's expression, her nose couldn't help but feel sore. She sniffed hard and said, "Mom!" It feels so good to have a mother!
"Hmm?" Fang Shuyi looked at Qin Xiaoyun.
"Just call you." Qin Xiaoyun said with a smile.
"Silly child!" Fang Shuyi glanced at Qin Xiaoyun with a smile, then looked at Su Jinyue and Wang Meizhen, "In-laws! Doctor Su! Please help me carry these things into the car."
"Okay." Wang Meizhen responded, and together with Su Jinyue helped Fang Shuyi move all the things into the trunk of the car.
After moving their things, they headed towards the market.
The town holds a market on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month. On market days, people bring their belongings to the market. Because some items are sold at several stalls, the items sold on market days are much cheaper than on other days.
"Jinyue, look at this sugar figurine! It's so delicate." Qin Xiaoyun took a Monkey King sugar figurine and toyed with it in her hands. Back when she was at the Gong family, she was busy with work and rarely had the chance to go to the market in town. After marrying Yifeng and quickly becoming pregnant, her family was afraid she might hurt her belly, so they kept her away from crowded places. This was her first real market trip.
Su Jinyue reached out and took a sugar figurine of Zhu Bajie, played with it in her hand for a while, and looked at the old man selling the sugar figurines, "Uncle, how much is this sugar figurine?" When she was a child, her master took her to the market and would buy her a sugar figurine every time.
"One cent each." The old man who was making candy figures stopped and said.
Su Jinyue and Gong Xiaoyun simultaneously took out two cents and handed them to the old man.
"Let me do it." Su Jinyue said.
"I'll do it this time." Gong Xiaoyun handed the money to the old man, took Su Jinyue's hand, and walked towards Wang Meizhen and Fang Shuyi who were looking at the cloth in front.
Fang Shuyi chose a piece of patterned Dacron and turned to look at Qin Xiaoyun and Su Jinyue who were walking towards them. "Xiaoyun, walk slowly. Don't bump into me. You two are really like children. You are so old and still buying candy figures."
Qin Xiaoyun smiled and shook the sugar figurine in her hand. "Jin Yue said that pregnant women should maintain a happy mood. This is good for the baby in the belly."
Fang Shuyi picked up the floral fabric she had chosen and compared it to Qin Xiaoyun's body. "Does this fabric look good?"
"Yeah." Qin Xiaoyun nodded with a smile.
"Then I'll buy it and make you a dress." Fang Shuyi said.
Qin Xiaoyun walked forward and took Fang Shuyi's arm, "Mom, I have too many clothes at home. I can't wear them all. Why don't you make some for yourself? This color is perfect for you."
"How can it suit Mom? If I go out wearing such fancy colors, people will think I'm an old witch. Such fancy colors are more suitable for you young people." Fang Shuyi said, turning around to ask the boss about the price of the floral cloth.
"Sister, this cloth is made of Dacron, and it costs five yuan per meter. My cloth is the best and cheapest in the entire market. You will definitely not get any loss if you buy it." The stall owner said with a smile.
"Then give me two meters." Fang Shuyi said generously.
"Okay!" The stall owner responded with a smile, picked up the ruler beside him and began to measure the cloth.
Wang Meizhen also chose the cloth. She chose a piece of Dacron cloth, but it was a solid color, somewhat like lake blue. "Jinyue, Xiaoyun, do you like this color?" In this day and age, Dacron is considered the best cloth. Anyone who can afford to wear Dacron must have some wealth.
