Seedlings were planted again in the vegetable garden, grapevines stretched out their tender green tendrils and climbed upwards, and melon seedlings transplanted in the corner were also desperately absorbing nutrients and basking in the sunlight to grow.
Qin Nian changed out of her heavy winter clothes, but put on soft, multi-layered cloth shoes made by her mother-in-law.
Her lower limbs became swollen, but fortunately she was getting enough nutrition and didn't experience cramps. However, her mother-in-law still massaged her every night to relieve the swelling until she fell asleep peacefully.
Looking at her heavy body and round belly, Qin Nian thought it would be good to give birth sooner, as her mother-in-law had worked too hard.
"How is Niannian? Can she still hold on?"
Professor Wen was also very worried.
"Yes, madam. I've finished reading all the books you brought me. Could you help me find some more related ones?"
"Okay, make sure you take good care of yourself."
As her due date approached, Yang Yufen grew increasingly anxious. Not daring to let Qin Nian know, she kept herself as busy as possible every day, checking things over and over again, even inspecting the chain of the tricycle several times.
The hen started laying eggs, and Yang Yufen happily collected them.
There are nine chicks and three mother hens in total, and they lay seven or eight eggs a day.
As the number of eggs in the basket increased day by day, March slipped away unnoticed.
"Mom, how come we have so many eggs saved up?"
Qin Nian noticed it inadvertently and blurted it out.
"The chickens are laying eggs, and I fed them some earthworms, so they're laying even more eggs. They'll be perfect for you to eat when you're in postpartum confinement."
"All the roosters in our family have gone into my stomach. I'm afraid other women don't eat as much as I do during their postpartum period."
Qin Nian patted her stomach, but chicken stew with mushrooms was delicious, and so was clear chicken soup.
"They're raised for food. There are still three left. Do you want them stewed, stir-fried, or boiled tomorrow? Mom can catch some more to raise later."
"I want to eat chicken stew with mushrooms."
Qin Nian spoke, then suddenly raised her hand to cover her stomach.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Yang Yufen immediately became anxious and reached out to support Qin Nian.
"I have a stomach ache."
"You haven't had dinner yet. Let me help you sit down first, and let you rest for a bit. We'll eat first. If it still hurts, we'll go to the hospital."
Yang Yufen herself had given birth, so she knew a little bit about it. In addition, when she couldn't sit still these days, she would go to the hospital to ask the doctor, and she learned even more.
"good."
Qin Nian nodded, feeling that the pain had subsided, and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
Yang Yufen quickly filled her stomach, then loaded all her belongings onto the tricycle. After making sure the bedding was thick and she had made sure nothing was left behind, she went back inside.
"Mom, I don't feel bad anymore."
"I'll take you to the hospital to get checked out. If everything's fine, we can come back. If you're close to giving birth, we can just stay here without any delay."
Qin Nian didn't refuse and obediently followed them to the hospital. On the way, she felt discomfort in her stomach again, but she endured it without saying anything.
Upon arriving at the hospital and getting out of the car, Qin Nian immediately sensed that something was wrong.
She thinks she peed, but she doesn't feel it at all!
"What's wrong?"
Yang Yufen saw Qin Nian standing there, stunned.
"Mom, I, I..."
Qin Nian was very embarrassed.
It was dark, and Yang Yufen couldn't see anything.
"Don't be afraid, we're at the hospital entrance now."
Qin Nian lowered her head, wanting to say she wanted to go back, but then her stomach started hurting again.
"It hurts again. You sit down first, and Mom will go call someone."
