The next morning, Zhang Yulian went out early. She was going to work at the state-owned barber shop!
Ye Li also got up early. She fell asleep very late last night. Ever since the baby in her belly started moving, she had been sleeping restlessly at night.
Seeing that Ye Li couldn't sleep at night, Jiang Xun found a newspaper and read it to Ye Li, hoping to cheer her up.
In the second half of the night, the baby in her belly was born peacefully. Ye Li listened to Jiang Xun's low and magnetic voice. Gradually, her eyelids began to droop, and she soon fell asleep due to sleepiness.
Jiang Xun opened the window in the house, hoping to let some cool air in, but he was afraid that Ye Li would catch a cold in the night wind, so he found a piece of gauze and hung it on the window frame.
Only after everything was ready did Jiang Xun go to bed peacefully.
When Ye Li woke up, Jiang Xun was still asleep. She pulled Jiang Xun's arm out from under her neck, gently placed it beside Jiang Xun, then put on her clothes, got out of bed and went to wash up.
Ye Li has been staying at home these days. Because her belly is getting bigger and bigger, she has difficulty moving around, so she tries to reduce the number of times she goes out. But she feels like she is getting bored if she doesn't go out. It happened that she woke up early today and felt the weather was cool, so she planned to go out for a walk after breakfast.
"Ye Li, you're up so early. Why didn't you sleep a little longer? Are you hungry? Come over after you wash up. I've prepared dinner."
...
...
Zhao Xingmei has been busy in the kitchen for a while. Ever since she found out that Ye Li was pregnant with two babies, Zhao Xingmei has paid more attention to Ye Li's three meals a day.
This morning she steamed egg custard for Ye Li, and also made a cabbage noodle soup for Ye Li using yesterday's chicken soup.
"Okay, Mom! I'll be right there."
Ye Li was not hungry at first, but when he heard that Zhao Xingmei had prepared the meal, he instantly felt hungry.
"Mom, is there any meal for me?" Jiang Xi also got up early today. He had to go early because he was busy at the factory.
"I only prepared a separate meal for your sister-in-law. You'll have to wait if you want to eat the big pot meal."
"Forget it, I'd better go out to eat. I don't have the treatment of a sister-in-law!" Jiang Xi said sarcastically.
"Of course! If you were pregnant with twins, I would cook for you every day!"
"Although I can't get pregnant with twins, my wife can. When the time comes, don't forget what you said, Mom!"
Hearing Jiang Xi's words, Zhao Xingmei happily replied, "I remember it! I won't forget it!"
Zhao Xingmei couldn't close her mouth when she thought about the future. If the eldest family had twins, and the third family had another pair of twins, then the Zhao family would have accumulated great merits, and their ancestral graves would be filled with smoke!
Imagining a group of babies surrounding her and calling her grandma in baby voices, Zhao Xingmei felt like she would wake up laughing even in her dreams.
After Ye Li finished washing up, she returned to the room and Zhao Xingmei brought breakfast to her table.
Maybe the baby has been growing hard recently, Ye Li's appetite has increased, and he finished all the egg custard and a large bowl of noodle soup in a short while.
"You woke up quite early today. Are you hungry?" Jiang Xun heard some noise in the room and opened his eyes to see Ye Li eating breakfast.
"Not really. It's quite cool this morning and I wanted to go out for a walk." Ye Li wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and looked at Jiang Xun who was buttoning his clothes.
Jiang Xun was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt. Although he had a vest underneath, his powerful muscular lines could still be vaguely seen.
"Do you want to touch it?" Jiang Xun looked at Ye Li's straight eyes and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
After saying that, Jiang Xun pulled Ye Li's hand and placed it on his chest. The strong beating of his heart made Ye Li's hand tremble slightly.
"Hate it! You make me feel irritated so early in the morning!" Ye Li said coquettishly with a red face.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. We'll continue when I come back tonight."
"By the way, Jiang Xun. I want to go out for a walk today."
"Are you alone? How about letting your mother accompany you?" Jiang Xun was worried about letting Ye Li go out alone, but he had to go to work, so he suggested that Zhao Xingmei accompany her.
"Okay, I'll ask mom if she has time later."
After Zhao Xingmei finished her morning work, Ye Li invited her to go out for a walk.
Seeing her belly getting bigger day by day, Ye Li wanted to give
The children prepared some small clothes in advance.
When Zhao Xingmei heard this, she agreed with Ye Li's idea, and the two of them went out together, carrying their bags.
They went to the department store to see if there was any suitable cotton fabric for babies.
Arriving at the department store, Ye Li picked out two pieces of pure cotton cloth with a red background, intending to make clothes and a small quilt for the child.
"Ye Li, look!" Zhao Xingmei passed by a silver jewelry counter and saw two longevity locks. There were several small bells hanging on the silver-white locks, which were very delicate and beautiful.
"It's so beautiful!" Ye Li's attention was also attracted, and she moved closer.
"Comrade, it seems you are about to give birth. Buy one for your child to ensure he has a life of wealth and safety." The teller saw that Ye Li was pregnant and knew that she wanted to buy one, so he introduced it to her.
"Please help me take these two out and have a look."
Ye Li picked two styles for comparison, and finally the two chose one of them.
Just as Ye Li was about to pay, Zhao Xingmei stopped Ye Li.
"Let me do it. It's a gift for my grandchildren." Zhao Xingmei said as she opened her bag and went to get the money.
"Mom, let me do it."
"No, no, next time you come, I will definitely buy these two longevity locks."
Seeing that Zhao Xingmei insisted on paying, Ye Li smiled and withdrew his hand and stopped trying to snatch it.
They had bought almost everything, Ye Li felt tired, and the two of them prepared to go straight home.
But who would have thought that as soon as they walked out of the department store, they found that the sky had darkened, and a strong wind mixed with raindrops blew towards Ye Li and Zhao Xingmei.
"Oh my God! Let's go back to the building and hide from the rain." Zhao Xingmei couldn't open her eyes because of the strong wind. She quickly pulled Ye Li's hand, fearing that Ye Li would be blown down by the wind.
"Okay, Mom, be careful!"
The two men retreated back into the building and looked at the strong wind, lightning and thunder outside.
The raindrops hit the ground with a crackling sound, instantly splashing a bunch of mud spots on the ground.
"I didn't check the weather forecast before going out today. I didn't expect it to rain so heavily." Zhao Xingmei was a little annoyed. It was raining so heavily now that she and Ye Li had no way to go home.
"Let's wait and see. Maybe it will stop after a while. Summer thunderstorms come quickly and go away quickly." Ye Li felt his legs becoming more and more sore, so Zhao Xingmei borrowed a stool from the side for Ye Li to sit on.
They waited and waited, but the rain didn't stop. Zhao Xingmei thought she couldn't wait any longer, so she suggested taking a taxi.
"Mom, it's not easy to get a taxi in this weather. How about we wait a little longer?" Ye Li pounded his lower back with his hands, hoping to relieve his physical fatigue.
She was really tired today, but she didn't want Zhao Xingmei to take a taxi in the heavy rain.
"It's okay, I'll try. You'll get tired if you keep waiting like this." Zhao Xingmei said as she ran out with her bag on her head.
"Mom! Buy an umbrella! You'll get wet like this!" Ye Li shouted into the rain, but Zhao Xingmei had already run far away, and the heavy rain instantly drowned out Ye Li's voice.
Just as she was waiting for Zhao Xingmei to come back, an umbrella suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Girl, don't you have an umbrella? Take mine."
Ye Li took a look at the black umbrella the other party handed over, and immediately smiled and waved his hand to thank him: "Thank you, I can't go back even if I have an umbrella, so you should use it yourself."
Only then did the man notice Ye Li's big belly. He smiled and nodded, opened his umbrella and walked into the rain.
Ye Li looked at the background where the elderly man left and felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't figure out where he had seen him before.
Suddenly Ye Li's heart started beating wildly. She immediately stood up and shouted, "Wait! Don't go!"
