Qin Yanzheng: "I'm fine, Dad. How have you and Mom been lately?"
"That's good, you and Lanlan don't need to worry about it."
Song Sanhe said, "I'm on my way home. I'll tell your mother that Lanlan is pregnant later. Please take good care of Lanlan, make sure she gets plenty of rest and eats well. It's good for both her and the baby!"
Qin Yanzheng: "I know, Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of Lanlan."
About two or three minutes later, the father-in-law and son-in-law ended their call.
Song Sanhe put the microphone back on the landline. He didn't linger at the brigade headquarters. He locked the office door and headed home.
"Let's collect more eggs recently. Lanlan has some; let's go over and visit her another day."
As Song Sanhe entered the courtyard, he saw Li Jumei about to go into the kitchen, and he couldn't help but say something.
Upon hearing this, Li Jumei didn't react for a moment: "Lanlan is pregnant?"
In an instant, her eyes lit up, and she asked, "You mean Lanlan is pregnant?"
Song Sanhe nodded.
"Just answered the phone? Who called?"
Li Jumei smiled broadly and looked straight at Song Sanhe. Upon hearing this, Song Sanhe nodded first, and then said, "My son-in-law made it."
“Okay, we have about ten eggs right now. I’ll ask my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law later, and then we’ll bring Lanlan a whole basketful, enough for her to eat for a while.”
The thought of soon having little children calling her "Grandma" makes Li Jumei smile endlessly.
“I haven’t heard Lanlan mention it when she’s been home recently. It seems she’s been too busy with work to pay attention to the changes in her body.”
Muttering to herself, Li Jumei's smile remained unchanged as she went into the kitchen and busied herself at the stove.
Without saying a word, Song Sanhe sat on a small stool in front of the stove and started a fire.
"I don't know if my eldest son's wife is pregnant yet. If she isn't, I can take good care of Lanlan during her postpartum period. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of both of them. What do you think we should do?"
"Why think about that now?! Even if the eldest son's wife is pregnant and Lanlan's due date is approaching, if you're too busy, you can talk to your sister-in-law and ask them for help."
Furthermore, my eldest son's mother-in-law has noticed our family's difficulties and might offer to help.
“No, our daughter-in-law is giving birth to our child. How can we let her own mother take care of her during her postpartum period?! If you ask me, we should do as you say. If the situation I described really happens, I will ask my eldest sister-in-law or second sister-in-law for help.”
"Um."
Song Sanhe nodded in agreement.
...
Before long, it was the weekend. Before Song Sanhe could take Li Jumei to visit Song Lan, Song Lan rode her bicycle back to the village by herself around 8:30 in the morning. When Li Jumei saw her pushing her bicycle in from outside the gate, she was extremely nervous.
Why don't you care about your own health?
She started scolding him as soon as she opened her mouth, but the concern in her eyes was almost overflowing. Li Jumei said, "Things are different now. You have twins. If anything happens, just call the brigade headquarters. Do you think your dad and I wouldn't know?"
"You insist on riding your bike all the way back yourself. What if something happens to you on the way? What are your dad and I supposed to do?"
Song Lan braced herself against the car door and said with a smile, "Mom, don't worry. I'm perfectly healthy, and I'm a doctor myself. I wouldn't risk the baby in my belly or my own health."
Besides, I came back to learn from Elder Shen and the others, which is the important thing. I can't just give up halfway because I'm pregnant!
That being said, once she reaches late pregnancy, she certainly won't be able to go back to the village or the forest farm every week or two like she does now.
Therefore, she wanted to take advantage of the fact that she was still relatively free to inform Xiao Yu, Old Master Xiao, and others in advance.
To avoid misunderstandings.
"No matter what, your situation is special right now, so you can't just act on your own whims."
Li Jumei continued to persuade, "Don't blame me for talking too much. I'm doing this for your and the baby's sake. We're just afraid of the worst-case scenario. It would be best if nothing went wrong before you gave birth, but if something happens because you rode your bike back to the village by yourself... it will be too late to regret it!"
Song Lan smiled and said, "Mom, I know you're doing this for my own good."
"Yan Zheng didn't rest today?"
Li Jumei suddenly asked.
"Working as usual."
To avoid Qin Yanzheng being angered by his elderly mother, Song Lan explained, "Qin Yanzheng didn't approve of me riding my bike back to the village by myself, so I took advantage of his departure for work this morning and pushed my bicycle out the door."
"You should protect him!"
Li Jumei glared at Song Lan irritably: "Go inside and sit down. What are you doing standing in the yard? I'll take the things off the bicycle."
"Mom, I'm not made of paper."
Song Lan implied that she was indeed in good health and that Li Jumei didn't need to worry about her.
The mother and daughter entered the main room. Song Lan said, "I'll do what I always do: go visit Grandpa Xiao and the others first, and then sit down and have a good talk with Mom when I get back."
"Go ahead, go ahead, I can't control you."
Li Jumei placed the large and small bags she had taken from Song Lan's bicycle on the table, then waved her hand, annoyed that Song Lan didn't care about her own well-being.
"Mom, I'm the best girl. You should take a good look at me. I'm really fine right now. I can eat and drink, run and jump. There's nothing wrong with my body." She had taken my pulse early in the morning and found no problem whatsoever.
In other words, both her own body and the baby in her womb are doing well!
-
Upon learning that Song Lan was pregnant, the Xiao family and Elder Shen were undoubtedly happy for her, but one person felt a little down.
He was Xiao Yu.
After hearing Song Lan say that she was two months pregnant and that she might not be able to go back to the village as often as her body got heavier... Xiao Yu didn't hear a word of what Song Lan said after that, he only knew that Song Lan was about to become a mother.
