Zhou Yi's parents paid special attention to Chen Hong's pregnancy. The elderly couple called every day to ask about her health and made a trip to the family compound every two days.
Chen Hong said they had lost weight, but they said they had gotten stronger!
My body feels younger, my mood is lighter, I'm happy every day, and my appetite is better than usual!
The elderly couple thought they would never have Zhou Yi's child in this lifetime, and they were mentally prepared for it. Unexpectedly, a pleasant surprise came from heaven: their daughter-in-law was pregnant!
Upon hearing the news, the two elderly people were both overjoyed and frightened.
To everyone's delight, his second son had his own child. It was a fitting reward from God for him, who had risked his life for the country and its people for over a decade and had several brushes with death.
What frightens them is that their son has been married for over two years and the couple has insisted on not having children. Now that their daughter-in-law is unexpectedly pregnant, the elderly couple are really unsure whether their only biological child will actually be born to them.
The elderly couple were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, pacing back and forth at home. They dared not ask any questions, like suspects awaiting trial.
Only one day had passed, and the elderly couple were so anxious that they started talking nonsense.
When the elderly couple learned that Chen Hong and Yu Yang had both agreed to have the child, they were overjoyed and wept tears of joy.
This child's arrival was so difficult!
The old man no longer tends to his flowers and plants, nor does he go to the antique market. He can't even sit still when his old friends at the alleyway call him to play chess.
The old lady took it very seriously, digging out all the old satin fabrics she had kept at the bottom of her trunk, comparing and selecting carefully, and started making little clothes for the child.
I heard that fine cotton cloth is good for infants' skin, so whenever the old lady goes out, her legs seem to have a GPS, automatically heading towards the cotton cloth counter.
Fearing that her daughter-in-law might misunderstand and think that the elderly couple favored sons over daughters, the old lady made mostly small clothes and blankets in pastel colors.
When others wondered if they knew their daughter-in-law was pregnant with a girl, the elderly couple said firmly, "We cherish girls in our family!"
Chen Hong teased them, "If it were a boy, and he knew that his family didn't like him, do you think he would be sad?"
The elderly couple shook their heads vigorously: "There's no such thing as disliking it! Don't say that families have fewer children nowadays; every single one of them is a treasure in the family."
When Zhou Yi was a child, every family allowed him to have more children. They would raise as precious treasures as possible.
Unfortunately, we damaged our health when we were young and only had two children, Zhou Yi and his brother. Your uncle also only had one child, and then he had an accident.
Our Zhou family isn't very large! Compared to others, our family is getting smaller and smaller.
Now, the Zhou brothers have three children; this is truly an auspicious event.
Whether it's a boy or a girl, they're an extra child for our family. The timing of their arrival was perfect; Zhou Rui is seventeen this year and can play with Yu Yang.
Yu Yang is nine years old this year and can play with his younger sister. The age difference between the three of them is just right; it couldn't be better!
Everyone in the family was overjoyed by this pregnancy, but in the end, it was Chen Hong, the pregnant woman, who suffered the most.
She became a protected animal in the family, and everyone treated her with the same level of care as they would a national treasure, the panda.
In terms of restricting their movement, it is even more severe than when treating the national treasure, the panda.
She can't lift heavy objects, can't get tired, and can't be startled! Haha, Chen Hong is practically bored to death under her family's watchful eye.
What's even funnier is that her mother-in-law also took a hands-on approach to her diet.
The menu changes every week, and it's different every week. There are some foods that Chen Hong doesn't like, but she has no choice but to force herself to eat them.
This was because her mother-in-law had gone to great lengths to find a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor who prescribed a nutritional diet for her after taking her pulse.
She really couldn't bear to refuse her mother-in-law's kindness, so she could only fight with her mother-in-law to get the right to purchase all the ingredients for the house herself.
Out of desperation, Chen Hong had to fabricate another lie to her family about a special channel for rare, green, and pollution-free ingredients, bringing home ingredients and various fruits produced in her space once a week.
Since her rebirth, her body has been in excellent condition thanks to the development and conditioning of the space water.
There wouldn't be any problem even if she stopped eating the food and fruits produced in the space, but in order to ensure that the fetus in her womb could grow and develop to the best condition, Chen Hong still tried to eat the food and various fruits from the space as much as possible.
She used to be reluctant to eat all sorts of rare, farmed seafood, but now she's willing to add them to her meals for the sake of her unborn baby.
Throughout Chen Hong's pregnancy, her weight and various physical indicators remained at their best.
Her parents-in-law and Yu Yang, because they often ate with her, also became healthier and stronger.
The old man and woman both said that ever since Chen Hong became pregnant, they have been eating a third more food at every meal, which is almost as much as they used to eat when they were young.
The old man even said that now when he goes out on the street, if he sees any injustice, he dares to step in and teach those troublesome young people a lesson.
The old lady angrily said to him, "You should take care of your health, not go out and meddle in other people's business."
Those young people are ungrateful and don't know their own strength. You're so old, instead of staying away from trouble, you step forward to show off.
If you get seriously injured and hospitalized, there won't be anyone at home to take care of you. The child is pregnant and can't help, so don't be a hindrance. If you continue like this, I'll lock you in the house and won't let you out.
Chen Hong lay on a bamboo recliner, with a towel blanket draped over her stomach by her mother-in-law. She closed her eyes to rest, listening to the elderly couple bickering, and couldn't help but smile.
This was the life she had always longed for!
She's financially independent now, with more money than she can spend! She also enjoys good health, which allows her to bring even more surprises to her life.
All we need in life is peace and joy. We should cherish the present moment, be content with what we have, and that is the key to a free life.
When the family eats together and watches TV, they discuss the daily necessities of life, such as rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea.
May your parents be healthy, your children happy, your spouse successful in their career, your marriage loving, and your family harmonious and happy!
Chen Hong likes her current life, which is simple yet incredibly warm.
Gently stroking her pregnant belly, she felt the joy of nurturing a new life.
Since becoming pregnant with her second child, everyone who has met her says she's getting better and better. Her good mood makes her like a little sun, illuminating the whole family.
Three months pregnant, Zhou Yi took leave to accompany Chen Hong to her prenatal checkup. It was Chen Hong's first time having an ultrasound, and she was quite embarrassed because there were so many people watching.
Not only did Yu Yang come, but her mother-in-law also came, as did her younger sister Xiaoyun and niece Nini!
Everyone watched as the doctor pointed at the fetus on the screen. Even though they didn't understand anything, they were still very excited when the doctor said that both the fetus and the pregnant woman were doing well and were healthy!
Chen Hong laughed so hard. She had no idea what they were so excited about. The fetus was only three months old, just a tiny little thing, barely the size of an olive.
They weren't wearing magnifying glasses, so how did they see which baby was in the amniotic fluid inside the uterus?
