Is she pregnant?
Ruan Niannian stared at her belly which had not yet bulged with eyes wide open.
How long had she and Pei Yuanzheng stopped using birth control products? How did she get pregnant so quickly? Was the pulse diagnosis by the barefoot doctor in the village accurate?
Ruan Niannian had been retching just now, and Pei Jianhui thought she might have a stomach upset, so he ran to ask the village barefoot doctor for help. After taking her pulse, the doctor said she was pregnant and had been pregnant for two months.
It has been less than a month since she stopped using birth control products. Where did this baby come from in the past two months?
If she hadn't been sure that she had no man other than Pei Yuanzheng, she would have suspected that she was cheating.
Upon learning that Ruan Niannian was pregnant, Pei Guohui and Pei Jianhui ran home immediately.
Li Jinhua and Wu Lanhua had been talking about it for a long time, hoping that Ruan Niannian would become pregnant.
As soon as he heard the news, he ran over without saying a word.
"It just so happens that the place is closed right now, so you should just stay at home and take care of your pregnancy." Wu Lanhua came quickly, gave the barefoot doctor five cents for the consultation fee, and sent him out.
He turned around and pushed Ruan Niannian onto the bed. "The first three months are a critical period. You can't do heavy work. It's best to stay in bed and rest. Mother treated us so harshly in the beginning, but she didn't torture us in the first three months of pregnancy. At most, she just didn't give us enough food."
Not enough food to eat...that's the most?
It's simply unbearable not to feed pregnant women enough, okay?
As they were talking, Li Jinhua also ran over. She was panting, with beads of sweat on her forehead.
Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the temperature outside is still quite high. Except in the morning and evening, going out for a run at other times can make people sweat profusely.
As soon as she arrived, she continued Wu Lanhua's words, counting on her fingers the precautions for pregnancy for Ruan Niannian, "I'm not afraid of you two getting jealous when I tell you this. When I had Guohui and the others, mother took good care of me. She kept telling me not to do this or that. I definitely know more about this than my third brother's wife."
"The first one is that you can't sleep with men. The first three months are a critical time. You have to be patient."
"The second thing is not to overwork yourself. It just so happens that the shop is closed now. You will probably give birth in April next year, so there is still a long time to go. You must not tire yourself out. Just ask us to do the laundry, cooking, and feeding the rabbits. Don't do it yourself."
"The third thing is to eat more food, no matter what kind of food it is, fish, meat or eggs, you have to eat a little bit every day. You are eating for two people now. Eat when you are hungry, and don't be afraid of vomiting, just eat again after vomiting."
…
She broke it down bit by bit and told it to Ruan Niannian, and Wu Lanhua added from time to time that they were teaching Ruan Niannian like their own daughter-in-law.
"Okay, okay, I know everything. I've remembered it all. Don't worry, I will give birth to this little one safely."
As they were talking, Pei Guohui, Pei Jianhui and Pei Hehui walked in with their heads poked out, followed by Pei Xiaowen and several other girls.
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" Ruan Niannian dry-heaved a few more times and pointed at the three brothers, unable to speak.
Li Jinhua hurriedly drove them out, "Get out, you stupid monkeys! Can't you see that your aunt is uncomfortable seeing you? Come back after you've washed yourself!"
It was the first time for the boys to be treated with such disgust. They stuck out their tongues and ran out, then went home without stopping to clean themselves.
It took Ruan Niannian a while to recover.
After all, girls are considerate. As soon as Sanhui went back to inform them, the girls who were playing at Wu Lanhua's house followed them over.
Pei Xiaoxiu held Ruan Niannian's hand, her eyes and heart were full of her, "Aunt, I can wash clothes, from now on I will wash all your clothes, I will come to your house every day to wash your clothes."
"And me, and me." Pei Xiaowen was not to be outdone. "I can stew meat and eggs. I learned it from my mother. It tastes delicious. Auntie, I'll stew some brown sugar eggs for you later. I'll make them runny!"
Pei Xiaoli thought about her own strengths unwillingly, and finally an idea flashed, "Aunt, He Hui and I will go and listen to those aunts and aunts talking about Labie (dialect, meaning gossiping), and we will tell you about it when we come back, so you won't be bored."
What a talent!
These kids are so talented. Ruan Niannian couldn't even imagine how happy she would be if Sanhui hadn't been kicked out and a group of kids surrounded her and wanted to serve her.
Li Jinhua slapped Pei Xiaoli on the head and said bitterly: "When your third aunt and I were pregnant with you, we listened to too many gossipy wives talking about this and that, that's why you gave birth to people with such long tongues!"
She hates it!
Not to mention her, Wu Lanhua also hated her in her heart.
It would be fine if Pei Hehui was a girl, but she was a boy. The boy learned the gossips of the vice-gossip woman, and it will be difficult for him to say anything about his wife in the future.
After a while of lively fun, Li Jinhua said she wanted to go back to prepare the dishes for tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival. When she went out, she happened to meet Pei Yuanzheng who had just returned from outside.
He was carrying a pig leg on one shoulder and holding slaughtered chickens and ducks in his hands. When he saw Li Jinhua coming out, he piled the things in front of her and said, "Sister-in-law, it's a good thing that you're here. These are the dishes for tomorrow. I've asked someone to pack them up. Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
Just because it’s hard work, he wants her to carry these things from his house back to the old house?
Li Jinhua rolled her eyes in anger, "I'll ask your eldest brother to get it later, you go in and see your wife."
After saying that, she ignored Pei Yuanzheng's expression as if he wanted to ask her a question and walked past him towards the door.
Pei Yuanzheng then realized how inappropriate it was to let Li Jinhua take so many things back, but he didn't think much about it. He would just ride his bicycle to deliver it later.
