227 Two People
"Where's Mom?"
Jiang Yu looked around the kitchen and the living room in confusion, but there was no sign of his mother.
If it were usual, as soon as she opened the door, her mother would have heard the noise and come out to greet her.
As she was speaking, Jiang's mother came out of the room and said with a surprised smile, "Xiaoyu is back."
Seeing Gao Qingya holding her sister's arm and half hanging on her sister acting coquettishly, she was shocked again.
"His aunt is here too!"
"Come in and sit down. I'll get you some food to fill your stomachs. It's still early for dinner, so watch some TV and warm yourself by the fire."
As he said this, he walked into the storage room, took out a small basket full of canned fruit, chocolate candies, peanuts, melon seeds, and biscuits, and placed it on the coffee table.
After saying hello to Gao Qinghe, he went back to his room.
Jiang Yu was still waiting for her mother's greetings as usual.
For example, how is your school diet? Have your grades dropped recently? What did your teacher say?
Although I always ask these questions when I get home, she is already impatient to answer them.
But when her mother suddenly stopped asking, Jiang Yu felt uncomfortable all over.
It seems like there is a lack of rituals for going home, and it doesn’t feel like home.
"Sister-in-law, what happened to Mom?" Jiang Yu put down his schoolbag and asked nervously.
Gao Qinghe closed the door of the hall to prevent the cold wind from blowing in and dispersing the heat in the room.
The other day, watching TV wrapped in a blanket in the hall wasn’t enough to keep me warm.
Jiang Baohai got a coal stove and set it up near the door, with the chimney extending directly out from the glass window on the door.
As soon as the stove started burning, the whole hall became warm.
Gao Qinghe has been lazy these past two days and hardly leaves the hall.
Jiang's mother would bring the cooked meals to the stove, and after eating, she would go to her room to make buttons.
It is said that making money is addictive. Jiang's mother is getting better and better at making buttons. After making a pile of buttons, she asks Gao Qinghe to help count how many there are.
When converted into money, I am full of motivation.
These days, apart from buying groceries, cooking and feeding chickens, Jiang's mother almost always stays in her room and doesn't come out.
If Gao Qinghe hadn't called her out to take a break, she would definitely have problems if she stared at the work for too long.
She had just finished lunch and had a half-hour nap, which was the time of day when Jiang's mother was most energetic to work.
My daughter is back?
Just go back, as long as you don’t starve to death. Anyway, I’m annoyed by her nosy questions.
We can't delay her from making money.
"Look, it's in the room, take a look for yourself." Gao Qinghe pointed to her mother-in-law's bedroom and said mysteriously.
Jiang Yu was curious and tiptoed to the half-open door, looking inside through the crack.
My mother, who was reluctant to turn on the lights during the day, was sitting at the table making flower buttons with the lights in the room on.
There were two large cardboard boxes under the table, one filled with raw materials and the other filled with the buttons she had made.
Jiang's mother was so focused that she didn't notice her daughter standing outside the door.
Jiang Yu closed his slightly open mouth and stepped back.
Gao Qinghe explained softly, "I found a part-time job for Mom. I thought it was just a casual job to kill time, but I didn't expect her to be so serious."
Pointing to the floor in the house, he said, "It hasn't been swept for two days."
But it was like this at the beginning. After a long time, when the excitement wore off, I came up with a plan.
Jiang Yu was happy that her mother had something to do, so she picked up the broom and started sweeping the floor.
Gao Qinghe motioned her not to move, "Eat first, there's no rush."
Gao Qingya had already opened a can of fruit, put it on the stove to heat it up, and squatted there waiting eagerly.
Jiang Yu was also afraid of getting a cold mouth, so he followed suit and the two of them squatted by the stove and waited together.
The picture looks particularly harmonious.
Gao Qinghe was curious, when did the two of them become so close?
White bubbles began to appear in the glass jar on the iron plate of the coal stove, and the can was so hot that it was about to burst.
Gao Qingya then wrapped her hands with her sleeves, took the bottle down, and sat down next to her sister on the sofa.
The first spoonful was given to her sister first. Gao Qinghe frowned and backed away: "It's hot."
Gao Qingya blew on it, and when it cooled down, she handed it to her sister's mouth. Gao Qinghe swallowed it as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Is it delicious?" the little girl asked with sparkling eyes.
When I saw my sister nod, I was so happy as if I had eaten it myself, and I wanted to give her the second spoonful.
There were only a few orange slices to begin with, and most of them went into Gao Qinghe's mouth.
Gao Qingya leaned half of her body on her sister, drank the last drop of water in the bottle happily, and then took two chocolates and peeled them.
Gao Qinghe hurriedly said, "I don't want it anymore, you eat it yourself."
The little girl was quite disappointed.
Thinking back to how she was rejected for a hug when she first came in, she pouted.
"Our program won first prize."
Gao Qinghe replied lazily: "Very good, keep up the good work."
Gao Qingya turned around suspiciously, put her face in front of Gao Qinghe, blinked her big eyes, and asked pitifully:
"Sister, did I do something wrong? I came to see you, please act happy."
Gao Qinghe said: "I am happy, I'm just too lazy to smile."
Ever since I found out I was pregnant, I've been feeling lazy and lacking energy for a few days now and then.
I've been particularly lazy these days.
Gao Qingya finally discovered that something was wrong with her sister.
He touched her forehead with the back of his hand and asked, "Are you sick?"
The temperature felt on the back of her hand was quite high, and Gao Qingya's heart skipped a beat.
Asked with concern: "Have you taken your medicine?"
"You can't take medicine." Gao Qinghe said in a light tone.
While my younger sister wasn't paying attention, I glanced at her and laughed in my heart.
Gao Qingya asked in confusion, "Why can't I take medicine?"
Gao Qinghe stared at the TV and said casually, "Because I'm pregnant."
I originally planned to give my family a surprise on New Year's Day.
But I didn’t expect my younger sister to come at such a coincidence.
Without much thought, Gao Qinghe decided to say it.
System Xiaodong said that her pregnancy was very stable, the sperm quality was good, and the child had a very strong vitality.
In that case, there is nothing to worry about.
Gao Qingya nodded blankly and said "oh".
After a pause, he stood up suddenly, startling Jiang Yu who was eating a hot can of food.
The TV volume was loud just now, so Jiang Yu didn't hear clearly what his sister-in-law said.
He adjusted his glasses and looked blankly at Gao Qingya, who looked excited, and let out a short scream of "Ah!"
Jiang's mother asked nervously in the room, "What's wrong, Xiaohe?"
"It's okay, Mom, I was just joking." Gao Qinghe replied with a smile.
Jiang's mother breathed a sigh of relief and warned, "You are two people now, don't make too much trouble."
Jiang Yu was also dumbfounded when she heard what Jiang's mother said.
Two people?
What two people?
Who are the two people?
Gao Qingya had already gotten a positive answer from her sister's playful smile.
She was so excited that she walked around the coffee table twice, then suddenly stopped and asked, "Am I going to be an aunt?"
"Yes." Gao Qinghe waved his hand to let her move aside, blocking the TV.
Gao Qingya was so bold that she turned off the TV, took her sister's hand and said:
"Let's go home and tell Mom, Dad, and Grandma the good news. If they knew, they would be so happy!"
Jiang Yu was speechless at her fierceness, and quickly stood in front of his sister-in-law and lectured Gao Qingya:
"Sister-in-law is pregnant now, you can't pull her like this."
Gao Qingya smiled foolishly, "I'm so happy!"
Jiang Yu and Gao Qinghe looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
