It was dark before six o'clock.
Liu Lanxiang stewed an old hen, fried four side dishes, and placed the cold and braised dishes bought from the market on a plate. A table full of delicious food was ready.
There are only four of us, and we can't finish all this food.
Gao Qinghe couldn't refuse the kindness and ate half a bowl of rice more than usual.
Huang Yanqiu had a good appetite and ate three bowls in a row. She wanted to have a fourth bowl, but Liu Lanxiang took away her chopsticks.
The old lady specifically said, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you this time, it's for your own good and the baby in your belly."
She gave birth to five sons and a daughter who was not raised, a total of six births, and the first five were all easy.
Because life was poor at that time, food was scarce, and it was especially difficult to give birth to small children.
Later, when her fifth child was born, the family could finally have enough food to eat, and she couldn't help but eat and drink a lot.
As a result, the baby was too big when it was delivered, so she had to go to the health center for an episiotomy to deliver the fifth child.
The doctor said that I should control my weight in the late stages of pregnancy, otherwise the baby will be too big and it will be difficult to give birth.
But I didn’t know any of this at that time. I only knew that children needed to eat more to grow well.
Gao Qinghe said so, and so did her mother-in-law. Huang Yanqiu didn't dare to refute and could only pick up the bowl and drink the soup.
I won't be greedy if I'm full, Huang Yanqiu consoled herself.
She wants to eat but can't.
The person next door didn't want to eat it but insisted on eating it.
Ouyang Yan suffered from severe morning sickness. She could not stand the smell of greasy and fishy food and did not want to touch any meat.
She just boils cabbage in water every day.
If you get tired of cooking with plain water, cook the vegetables and tofu in sour soup.
I can’t eat rice either. My stomach feels uncomfortable after chewing it for a few bites. I can only eat potatoes and sweet potatoes to fill my stomach.
I just got pregnant and I lost five kilograms.
My mother felt sorry for her because it was not nutritious at all and neither adults nor children could bear it.
So she asked someone to help her get some big red shrimps and crucian carp, and only then was Ouyang Yan able to reluctantly eat some meat.
When Zhong arrived, he saw these big red shrimps and crucian carp and thought, how can white meat be as nutritious as red meat?
I immediately stewed a big pig's trotter and waited happily for Ouyang Yan to come home from get off work and eat more.
As a result, as soon as the pig's trotters were served on the table, Ouyang Yan, who had just sat down, felt as if there was a needle on the stool. She stood up suddenly, rushed to the backyard, and retched for three minutes.
She waved her hands and said with tears in her eyes, "Take the pig's trotter away."
Mrs. Zhong's face immediately darkened. "It's been stewed all afternoon. The neighbors are crying with greed. This pig's trotter is so delicious. Let's try it? Just a small bite, let's try it."
Although his tone was negotiating, he had already picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of plump meat and passed it to Ouyang Yan's mouth.
Zhong: "Come, open your mouth and try it, maybe it will be better."
Ouyang Yan frowned tightly and retracted her neck, resisting but not daring to refuse directly.
Because this person is her mother-in-law, her husband's biological mother.
For her, people went to the market with their limping legs early in the morning to buy pig's trotters, and stewed them for a whole afternoon.
If she says no, she'd be ungrateful.
Ouyang Yan tried hard to swallow the sour water rising in her throat, opened her mouth and tried to take a bite.
She tried very hard to endure it, not even daring to chew it, and only managed to swallow a mouthful.
"Mom, that's enough. I really can't eat anymore." Ouyang Yan said in embarrassment.
When Mrs. Zhong saw her take a bite, her eyes lit up and she pushed the meat forward excitedly.
"Eat, eat quickly, take two more bites and finish this piece."
Mrs. Zhong said, "You are more than just yourself now. Eating more is nutritious for the child."
Every word that is said is for your own good, in fact, it is for the children.
Ouyang Yan suddenly felt that she was not a person, but a vessel that helped people conceive children.
Emotions surged like a tide. Ouyang Yan pushed away the meat that Zhong sent over, stood up and rushed out of the room!
She bent over and leaned against the wall, vomiting so hard that tears were streaming down her face, bile was about to flow out, and she felt as if her soul was being sucked out of her. Her stomach felt like it had been poured with sulfuric acid, and the pain was so severe that she was suffocating.
"Are you okay?"
Gao Qinghe and Huang Yanqiu, who had finished their meal and were out for a walk, stood behind Ouyang Yan, looking at her painful appearance as she bent over like a shrimp, and asked worriedly.
After a long while, Ouyang Yan raised her hand and waved it, saying weakly:
"...I'm fine."
Seeing her hair soaked with sweat and sticking to her neck, Gao Qinghe and Huang Yanqiu looked at each other.
They both asked in unison: "Should we take you to the hospital?"
Ouyang Yan's body shook and she was about to fall to the ground, but she held herself up again.
Gao Qinghe and Huang Yanqiu stopped taking a step forward and looked at her nervously.
"What happened again?!"
Mrs. Zhong walked out slowly, with a blaming tone.
"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Why are you running out? It's so dark and cold. What if something happens to the child..."
It was dark and Zhong was short, so she didn't see that the person standing next to Huang Yanqiu was Gao Qinghe.
By the time she helped Ouyang Yan up, Gao Qinghe and the others had already returned home.
It was too dark, so Huang Yanqiu didn't let Gao Qinghe ride her bike back. She gave her the car keys and asked her to drive away.
Bring the car back tomorrow and take her bike away.
"Remember to cheer me on!" Huang Yanqiu jokingly reminded.
Gao Qinghe rolled his eyes at her, started the car, and headed back to Zhaozhuang.
Before leaving, Gao Qinghe could still hear Zhong's endless mumbling.
There was also the sound of Ouyang Yan retching, almost making her faint.
She seemed to feel the same way and also felt uncomfortable in her stomach, wanting to vomit but not wanting to.
Gao Qinghe endured the discomfort all the way back home, and as soon as he got off the car, he felt dizzy.
Jiang's mother had just closed the door when she turned around and saw her staggering. She took two steps at a time and quickly supported her.
"Xiao He, are you okay?"
Jiang's mother looked at her face and touched her hand. Her hand was warm and her face looked normal. Not knowing what was going on, she helped her sit down on the sofa in the hall.
"I'll get you a cup of hot water, take your time."
Jiang's mother took out an enamel cup, poured half a cup of hot water from the thermos and handed it to Gao Qinghe.
Gao Qinghe held the hot cup in both hands, took a sip of water, and the dizziness slowly disappeared.
In less than two minutes, she was fine.
Gao Qinghe smiled indifferently at Jiang's mother, "It's okay."
"It's probably one of those everyday minor ailments that can't be cured or diagnosed."
Gao Qinghe spoke in a relaxed tone, and Jiang's mother was relieved to see that she was really fine.
It was already late, so Jiang's mother asked, "Are you full? Do you want me to fry you two more pumpkin pancakes?"
Gao Qinghe patted his belly and said, "I ate so much that I took a walk. Now I feel like I haven't digested all the food yet."
"Mom, don't worry about me. Just take a rest. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."
Seeing her mother-in-law close the door, Gao Qinghe put away the smile on her face and stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
The hot water flows out and the temperature in the bathroom rises rapidly. It doesn't feel cold even without a bathroom heater.
Gao Qinghe asked in his heart while washing:
"Little system, is there anything wrong with my body?"
System: [There is no danger to your life, but I suggest you go to the hospital in person.]
Gao Qinghe: "Go to the hospital?"
System: [Didn’t you notice that your period was delayed this month?]
Gao Qinghe asked seriously, "What day did I come last time? What day is it today?"
Before she could figure it out, the system roared in frustration:
[You are pregnant, stupid host! ]
