Chapter 277 A Little Peach is Like a Little Trumpet
After a thorough examination, the doctor smiled and said to them, "Congratulations, you two are pregnant. It's been two months."
Jiang Haitang was stunned, and Lu Liangchen was so surprised that he was speechless.
The doctor gave some more precautions, and then the two walked out of the hospital in a daze.
On the way home, Lu Liangchen carefully supported Jiang Haitang, fearing that she would get bumped or hurt.
Jiang Haitang looked at him amusedly: "I'm not that delicate."
Lu Liangchen said seriously, "From now on, just take a good rest."
Jiang Haitang felt sweet inside and teased him deliberately: "If I want to eat something delicious, will you make it?"
Hearing his wife's words, Lu Liangchen couldn't help but touch her head.
"Wife, I'll buy it for you at the cafeteria. I'll give it to Chef Zhang as a gift and ask him to make it for you."
Jiang Haitang deliberately smiled and said, "But I want to eat what you cook, what should I do?"
"Tangtang, you're putting me in a difficult position. It's not that I don't want to make it for you, but you know I'm naturally deficient in this area, and I'm afraid you'll feel even worse after eating it. But don't worry, I'll clean the house and do the laundry."
Jiang Haitang looked at Lu Liangchen's embarrassed answer and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"I know, don't worry, I'm just pregnant, it's not like I can't do anything. Leave the housework to me and I'll cook."
Lu Liangchen nodded immediately: "Okay, wife, I'll wash and pick the vegetables too, you just need to cook."
The two smiled at each other, and a few scattered snowflakes fell on the ends of their hair, as if they were also celebrating the good news.
When I got home, Xiao Taozi was already waiting anxiously. She rushed over and asked, "Mom and Dad, where have you been? Aunt Liu said there was good news. Is that true?"
Lu Liangchen squatted down and said mysteriously: "Xiao Taozi, let me tell you a secret, you are going to be a sister."
Little Peach blinked her big eyes and didn't react for a moment: "Sister?"
Obviously, the little girl didn't understand the situation. She immediately started searching for Lu Liangchen and Jiang Haitang from all directions.
"Dad, do I have a little brother or sister? Where is he? Why can't I see him?"
The little guy looked around for several times but still couldn't find the little doll he imagined, so he could only tilt his head back and ask.
Jiang Haitang explained gently: "It means that my mother has a baby in her belly. After ten months, she will play with you."
Little Taozi immediately cheered: "That's great! I'm going to tell Uncle Zhao and Aunt Xiaoxia! I'm also going to tell Grandma Kong and Aunt Liu. Oh my god, I'm going to have a little brother!"
Looking at their daughter's excitement, Jiang Haitang and Lu Liangchen smiled at each other.
The little girl ran out jumping and skipping.
"I'm really worried that Xiao Taozi can't accept having younger brothers and sisters." Jiang Haitang said with a gentle smile.
"Don't be afraid, our little Taozi is a smart child."
Little Taozi flew to Liu Hongmei's house next door like a fat little butterfly.
Liu Hongmei was kneading dough in the kitchen, her apron covered in flour. She heard the door open and looked outside.
"Aunt Liu! Aunt Liu!" Little Taozi stood on tiptoe, her face flushed. "Daddy said my mom is pregnant! I'm going to be a big sister!"
Liu Hongmei had already guessed that Jiang Haitang was pregnant, but she was still extremely happy when she heard the good news.
She wanted to hug Xiao Taozi, but found her hands were covered with flour.
Before she could say anything, Aunt Kong heard the sound and came over.
"Oh, this is such great joy!" Aunt Kong's face was full of smiles: "Hongmei, wait and see if we have any nutritious food at home and send it to Engineer Jiang. Engineer Jiang is a meritorious official in our factory!"
"Mom, you are right. She has always been in poor health and needs to be well nourished." Liu Hongmei agreed immediately.
Over the past year or so, thanks to Jiang Haitang's continuous improvement of machinery and technology, the factory's performance has been extremely good, and their income has been increasing continuously. It can be said that life has become much better for every household in the factory.
Even the benefits distributed during the Chinese New Year are all good things, so you don’t need to prepare New Year’s goods separately.
Xiao Taozi giggled happily. Liu Hongmei put her on a stool and stuffed a piece of freshly baked sugar cake into her hand. "Eat it first. Auntie will find something to eat. Then we can go see your mother together."
Liu Hongmei went to look for nutritional supplements, while Xiao Taozi and Aunt Kong were chatting animatedly.
"Little Taozi, your father must be very happy, right?" asked Aunt Kong.
Xiao Taozi nodded immediately: "Yes, my dad is so happy. He even supports my mom when he walks."
The little guy imitated Lu Liangchen's cautious attitude, which made Aunt Kong laugh.
Liu Hongmei came back with a can of malted milk, a pound of brown sugar, and a few tickets.
"Mom, let me send these over."
"Okay, you take it over first. I'll make something delicious and take it over too." Aunt Kong said cheerfully, "Xiao Jiang helps our family a lot on weekdays. At times like this, we have to help take care of her. Director Lu, a grown man, can't even cook. It's hard work for him."
At this time, Xiao Taozi had finished eating the sugar cake. She didn't plan to wait for Liu Hongmei, but ran outside again with her short legs.
"Xiao Taozi, slow down, there are icicles on the road." Liu Hongmei shouted loudly, but Xiao Taozi didn't care and ran away quickly.
Liu Hongmei immediately ran out and saw Xiao Taozi standing at the gate of Zhao Kai's yard, talking to Kang Xiaoxia.
"Auntie Xiaoxia! I have good news to tell you. I'm going to be a big sister!" Xiao Taozi said mysteriously.
"Really? Oh my God, this is such good news!" Kang Xiaoxia picked up Xiao Taozi and walked towards Jiang Haitang's house.
Seeing Liu Hongmei, she asked, "Director Liu, are you here to see Sister Haitang as well?"
After she finished speaking, she saw Liu Hongmei holding something in her hand, and then she remembered that she came empty-handed.
But she lives in a dormitory and hasn't prepared any New Year's goods. How about going to the department store now to see what she can buy?
"Xiao Taozi, Aunt Xiao Xia will take you to the department store, okay?"
Although Xiao Taozi didn't quite understand why Aunt Xiao Xia wanted to go to the department store after she had already walked to her doorstep, she thought it was nice to go to the department store.
"Okay, let's go to the department store."
Kang Xiaoxia hugged Xiao Taozi, turned around and walked away. Not far away, she saw Zhao Kai. Zhao Kai immediately became excited when he heard that Jiang Haitang was pregnant.
"Our leader is finally going to be a father. That's great, that's great. Let's go shopping together."
When Zhao Kai and Kang Xiaoxia came back with bags, several neighbors had already known about Jiang Haitang's pregnancy and had sent a lot of things.
Seeing what Kang Xiaoxia and Zhao Kai brought, Jiang Haitang felt overwhelmed.
"Xiao Xia, Zhao Kai, why did you bring so many things here? I'm just pregnant!"
"Sister Haitang, this is no small matter. You have to take good care of her. She must eat good food," Kang Xiaoxia said as a matter of course.
"My health is almost restored."
Kang Xiaoxia immediately retorted: "I think it's still not working. The doctor said that you lost a lot of energy in the past and you need to make up for it."
The news spread quickly throughout the factory, and soon the factory union began planning to fight for benefits for Comrade Jiang Haitang.
After all, Comrade Jiang Haitang is a model worker and a March 8th Red Flag Bearer. With these two honors in hand, it is not excessive to strive for some treatment for her.
Soon, the factory union came with the treatment they had fought for Jiang Haitang. In addition to two cans of milk powder and ten kilograms of meat coupons, there were also some milk coupons. These were given to special talents, with a supply of half a kilogram per day, for a total of three months.
"Mr. Jiang, I'll return this milk ticket to you in three months. It's not free, though. You'll have to pay for it yourself."
Jiang Haitang smiled and thanked them: "Thank you, it's better to spend your own money. I'm very grateful that you were able to get me the ticket."
When Xiao Taozi was first brought here, Lu Liangchen spent a lot of effort to get some milk tickets in order to nourish Xiao Taozi's body. The union really put in a lot of effort this time.
Originally, the family of three was going to Beijing to celebrate the New Year with their family, but because Jiang Haitang was pregnant, Lu Liangchen decided not to go to Beijing.
He called Beijing and reported the good news. He Wanyi and Mr. Lu both gave him a lot of advice, which ultimately came down to asking Jiang Haitang to take good care of her health.
After Jiang Guozhu got the news, he was overjoyed. He originally thought that he was destined to live out his life alone, but he didn't expect that not only did he find his granddaughter, but he now also has a great-grandson.
He began to wonder how he could successfully come to the northwest to see his granddaughter.
At the same time, the news also reached the machinery factory, and the machinery factory also sent a lot of tickets to Jiang Haitang to express their condolences.
Jiang Haitang felt very embarrassed when looking at the tickets.
Although she provided a lot of drawings and technologies to the machinery factory, she did not do much else for the factory, at least much less than the textile factory.
"Liangchen, I'm thinking of discussing with Director Mao about quitting my job at the steel mill. I'm afraid with my health, I won't be able to handle both jobs in the future."
Jiang Haitang discussed with Lu Liangchen that after all, she would not be able to devote too much energy to work in the future.
"I'll take you to the machinery factory later. It's okay if you quit. I don't want you to work too hard."
After the couple had discussed it, they went to the machinery factory.
When Director Mao saw Jiang Haitang, he immediately stood up and said, "Hey, Comrade Haitang, why are you here? If you have anything to say, just give me a call. Even if I can't explain it clearly over the phone, I can come over!"
