Chapter 2101 Gift Giving
After listening to the aunt's explanation, Miao Liang felt that there was nothing wrong with it: "That's right, you two are both going to come back anyway, so a few minutes earlier or later is not a big deal. What did the doctor say? Are Nan Nan and the child okay?" They should be fine. This month, their whole family has been studying the knowledge of caring for pregnant women and newborns.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole family was mobilized. Even Zhai Yaohui, the head of the family, still wore reading glasses and held a guidebook for pregnant women. Of course, among the people in the Zhai family, except for Qiao Nan, the pregnant woman, Zhai Sheng, the father, was assigned the most "tasks".
When Zhai Sheng was at home, he had finished two books. When he left, Miao Liang stuffed five more books into his pocket, so that he would not fall behind too much "homework" before returning to the army, and would not be able to take care of Qiao Nan after returning. As a husband and a father, Zhai Sheng not only had to master the skills of taking care of pregnant women, but more importantly, he had to master the skills of taking care of children.
Whenever Zhai Sheng was at home, he would take care of the baby's feeding, changing diapers, etc. Qiao Nan had to take good care of herself during the confinement period.
As soon as Qiao Nan was mentioned, Miao Liang's anger disappeared. She smiled secretly and raised her voice, "Madam, the doctor said that Nan Nan and the child are fine, but our family needs to pay more attention in the future. When Nan Nan is seven months old, we have to send Nan Nan to the hospital in advance."
Miao Liang stopped immediately: "Didn't they say that Nan Nan and the child are fine? Why did Nan Nan have to go to the hospital when she was seven months old? What's the problem?" Only when the condition of the pregnant woman and the child is not good will the pregnant woman have to stay in the hospital so long in advance.
“Because…” The aunt looked at Qiao Nan’s belly with a smile: “Because there are three little babies in Nan Nan’s belly, the doctor said that multiple births are prone to premature birth. Nan Nan is not young anymore, and she is pregnant with three babies at once, so our family has to be more careful. Staying in the hospital for seven months is also just in case…”
“Mom…” Qiao Nan’s face turned pale, because after the aunt said this, Qiao Nan clearly felt Miao Liang tighten her grip on her hand, and then a force pulled her back. It seemed that Miao Liang was about to faint.
Qiao Nan let go of her aunt's hand and held Miao Liang tightly with both hands: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Did you wait for her for too long and got heatstroke?
Not to mention that Qiao Nan was so scared that her face turned pale, Miao Liang was also so scared that she broke out in cold sweats under the scorching sun. Miao Liang shook her head: "Nan Nan, are you okay just now? Did it hurt you? Do you feel uncomfortable in your stomach?"
"No, Mom, I'm fine, my stomach is fine too, but you, did you have heatstroke?"
"No, no, no..." She didn't have heatstroke at all, she was obviously crazy with joy: "Nan Nan, did the doctor really say that you have three little babies here?" Miao Liang's hands trembled, wanting to touch Qiao Nan's already bulging belly, but she didn't dare to touch it, for fear of disturbing the three little babies in Qiao Nan's belly.
Three? Three! !
Qiao Nan smiled, this was not the first time she was so happy. Compared to when she just learned the good news, Qiao Nan had already returned to normal. Qiao Nan took out her prenatal checkup report and a dark film from the hospital: "Mom, look, these are our three babies."
In fact, these three little ones are not particularly easy to recognize, thanks to the doctor who had already taken Qiao Nan to recognize them in the hospital. Qiao Nan certainly remembers her own children well. Facing such an abstract photo, Qiao Nan pointed to Miao Liang clearly: "Mom, look, this is Dabao, this is Erbao, and this is Sanbao, our three babies!"
Three embryonic sacs, three heartbeats, all of which indicate the existence of the three little lives that the Zhai family will welcome.
"Oh, our children, our children...are so good looking, especially you and Zhai Sheng, you can tell they are smart. No, I have to tell your dad." Oh my god, she is going to be a grandmother, she is really going to be a grandmother, not only is she going to be a grandmother, but she is also going to have three little grandchildren at once.
"Old Zhai, Old Zhai, our grandchildren, three, three..." Miao Liang's "three" is a rhythm that is almost resounding over the courtyard.
In fact, when the aunt said that Qiao Nan was pregnant with three babies, the neighbors who had been jealous were already dumbfounded.
Three...
The neighbor stared at Qiao Nan's belly. She couldn't believe that Qiao Nan, who was so thin, had three babies in her belly. She could really...give birth to...
triplets. She was really lucky. She wanted it too. This girl from the country is a little old and not well educated, but she is fertile, which is also an advantage.
Within an hour, the good news that the new daughter-in-law of the Zhai family was pregnant with three children spread throughout the compound. No matter what happened in private, everyone's relationship with the Zhai family was pretty good. The Zhai family was going to have a new member, and it would be a big happy event to have three children, so these people had to go to the Zhai family to say congratulations and give some small gifts for the children. After all,
when they had children, the Zhai family also gave gifts, and these were necessary as a courtesy return gift.
It's just that in today's society, money is worthless and everything is expensive, especially things for children. Of course, this is not the first time they have bought these things. They have children in their own family, so these expenses cannot be saved. But the only thing that made them upset was that everyone knew that the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family was pregnant with triplets. If you don't give a gift,
it's fine. But if you want to give a gift, you must give three. The Zhai family gave one, and they gave three. That's fine, but the things for boys and girls are different. How to distribute them when buying?
For a while, because of the good news of the Zhai family, the business of maternal and child supplies stores in the capital was booming. Not only did many people come to buy, but most importantly, they often met people who bought three at a time. This situation definitely promoted the development of the capital's economy.
In the blink of an eye, less than a day has passed, and the Zhai family's living room is piled with all kinds of children's belongings, almost drowning Qiao Nan who went downstairs to forage for food: "Mom and Dad, so many things? Where to put them? Is it okay?"
When others came to congratulate, Qiao Nan, as the protagonist, did not show up from beginning to end. Pregnant women are already valuable, and Qiao Nan's pregnancy is twice as valuable. Of course, too many people and mixed air are not good for pregnant women. Miao Liang naturally let Qiao Nan go upstairs to rest, and the two old people would deal with the guests at home.
"It's okay, it's okay. We do have to pay attention to some things, but we still have to follow the most basic Chinese etiquette."
