Chapter 577: Also Pregnant with Two (Page 1/2)
Ever since Song Jingjing came to her house in person to act as a lobbyist that day, Lin Man no longer called Huo Qingci "sister-in-law" in front of her, but instead called her by her name directly - Song Jingjing.
At the same time, the news that Wen Wan came to look for Lin Man quickly reached Song Jingjing's ears.
This news was not spread by the Huo family, nor was it spread by the people in the military compound.
It was Song Jingjing's mother who called to tell her. According to Song Jingjing's mother, Wen Wan not only failed to meet Lin Man in person this time, but also accidentally twisted her ankle at the stairs while going downstairs.
Afterwards, she went to the orthopedics department with the help of her daughter-in-law to see her foot. After seeing her foot, she went to the cardiovascular department to see Huo Qingci. But who would have thought that she would be treated coldly by Huo Qingci again.
Song Jingjing never expected that Aunt Wen, seeing that she was not a lobbyist, would come to her house in person to ask her sister-in-law to come home. In the end, she did not see her sister-in-law and returned home injured.
Now, she has offended her elder sister-in-law and elder uncle, and also made Aunt Wen unhappy. If she had known this would happen, she should have advised her mother not to meddle in the Qiao family's affairs.
What does it have to do with the Song family whether they recognize each other or not? She used to get along harmoniously with her sister-in-law, but now she has offended her, and she will feel guilty and lack confidence when she sees her in the future.
Song Jingjing was very depressed. When she was depressed, she couldn't control her urge to vomit. She vomited when she was full, when she was empty, when she smelled food, and when she went to the toilet.
Seeing that she was vomiting red blood, Huo Qingyan advised her to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible.
Song Jingjing was really helpless. This extreme discomfort made it impossible for her to work and live normally.
In desperation, she had to bite the bullet and ask for leave from the company in advance, and then hurried to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.
You know, she had experienced three pregnancies before, but each time had never been as painful as this time.
Song Jingjing couldn't help but wonder in her heart: Could it be that she was cursed? Was it her sister-in-law or Aunt Wen?
After finally finding some time and taking a whole day off, Song Jingjing rushed to the hospital without stopping.
After waiting in line for half an hour, it was finally her turn to be examined. First, the doctor asked her to do a urine test to preliminarily confirm whether she was really pregnant.
Not long after, the urine test results came out - as expected, she was indeed pregnant early.
Just knowing the news of pregnancy is far from enough. Song Jingjing is always thinking about another more important thing.
She wanted to find out how many babies she was pregnant with, and she wanted to do an ultrasound, but the doctor said it was not recommended because she was still too young.
So she went to find the experienced old doctor, hoping to find out the truth through traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis.
When the old doctor saw Song Jingjing make such a strange request, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
After all, under normal circumstances, most pregnancies result in one baby, unless there is a genetic gene for twins or multiple births in the family.
However, faced with Song Jingjing's earnest and persistent attitude, the old doctor finally agreed to her request and began to take her pulse seriously.
However, when the old doctor gently placed his fingers on Song Jingjing's wrist and began to take her pulse, his expression gradually became solemn.
As time went by, the old doctor became more and more surprised, because he discovered that the pulses in Song Jingjing's left and right hands were surprisingly equally weak!
Could it be... that she is pregnant with twin daughters?
This unexpected discovery instantly made Song Jingjing's heart rise to her throat, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
She stared at the old doctor with wide eyes and a nervous look on her face, and asked impatiently, "Doctor, please tell me quickly, am I pregnant with one or two?"
The old doctor raised his head, looked at Song Jingjing who looked anxious, and slowly said: "Comrade Song, judging from your pulse, you are indeed pregnant with two babies.
You've already had three children before this, right? How many of them are sons and how many are daughters?"
Hearing this, Song Jingjing quickly replied, "Yes, doctor, I gave birth to two sons and a daughter before. So, may I ask, will both of the children I'm pregnant with this time be boys?"
Facing Song Jingjing's expectant eyes, the old doctor smiled awkwardly, shook his head and said, "Oh, Comrade Song, regarding the issue of the fetus's gender, it is really difficult for me to accurately determine it based on the pulse at the moment.
Besides, whether it's a boy or a girl, it shouldn't be that important to you, right? After all, you already have a son."
Song Jingjing quickly retorted, "How can it not be important? Doctor, you don't know, this is a special era. They say 'fathers and sons fight together'!"
The more sons a family has, the more likely someone will serve in the army to defend the country. So, how great it would be if I could have two more sons!
Song Jingjing righteously explained the preference for boys over girls as a matter of national development and the training of soldiers to defend the country.
The old doctor just smiled and never told her the correct answer.
Seeing that she couldn't get the answer she wanted, Song Jingjing asked the doctor to prescribe some anti-nausea medicine for him.
The old doctor said: "Vomiting during pregnancy is normal. You will generally stop vomiting after three months."
"But this pregnancy is different from the previous ones. I've been vomiting non-stop and can't eat anything."

The old doctor thought for a moment and said, "If you really can't eat anything, I can prescribe you some Chinese medicine..."
Before the old doctor could finish his words, Song Jingjing quickly shook her head, "No, doctor, I've never liked Chinese medicine since I was a child. Now I vomit even when I drink plain water. If I drink Chinese medicine, I will definitely vomit even more."
The old doctor was a little embarrassed, "I am an old Chinese medicine doctor. If I don't prescribe Chinese medicine for you, what medicine do you want me to prescribe for you?
Sour taste can stimulate the nerves in the mouth, stomach and intestines, thereby promoting the secretion of digestive juices and gastrointestinal motility, and reducing the occurrence of nausea and vomiting.
I think you should go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some hawthorn slices, plum candy, or something like that! Eat some acidic foods to relieve morning sickness."
Song Jingjing was delighted. They say sour boys and spicy girls are born. Was the doctor hinting that she was pregnant with two sons this time? That was great.
After leaving the hospital, Song Jingjing happily went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought plum candy and hawthorn slices, and then went home.
I shared the news with Tang Xue immediately.
When Tang Xue learned that Song Jingjing was pregnant with two children, the smile on her face froze instantly, and the corners of her mouth were frozen there as if she was cast under a spell.
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind at once. What should she do? Song Jingjing was pregnant with twins?
Although Huo Yichen no longer needed him to worry too much, the little guy Huo Yifei was only a little over one year old, and Huo Yingzi was only three years old.
If these two new lives are about to come, wouldn’t that be the end of her life?
Tang Xue secretly complained in her heart. She worked hard every month, but only earned a pitiful salary of 20 yuan.
It’s tiring enough to take care of their family’s food and daily life, not to mention having to take care of twins eight months later. This is simply an impossible task!
She stood there, her brows tightly furrowed, her lips pursed until they turned pale, and she struggled internally for a long time.
Finally, Tang Xue took a deep breath, and as if she had made up her mind, she mustered up the courage to speak to Song Jingjing:
"Sister Jing, I received a letter from my brother a few days ago. He said my family has introduced me to a blind date. If we're compatible, we might get married before the New Year.
So... could you find someone to come a few months in advance and help you look after the kids?"
As soon as the words fell, Song Jingjing's face suddenly turned gloomy as if the weather had suddenly changed.
She stared at Tang Xue with wide eyes in disbelief, and asked in a cold voice, "Xiaoxue, what do you mean by that? Just because I'm pregnant with two sons this time, are you unwilling to continue helping me raise the children?
Think about it, who brought you out of that poor place in the countryside? How can you say such words when I need you so much now?
"Sister Jing, I'm not young anymore. I'll get married eventually." After Tang Xue finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at Song Jingjing and lowered her head.
Song Jingjing knew that Tang Xue was also going to get married, but she was in urgent need of a nanny to help her take care of her children. If Tang Xue left, where would she find one?
"Xiaoxue, you know my current situation. I'm at work, and my mother-in-law is seriously ill. She can't help me take care of the child.
I have three children now, plus the two I'm expecting, which makes five in total. If you leave, what will happen to the children? What will I do?
"Sister Jing, your cousin is retired, right? Your brother's children are grown up now, so you can ask your cousin to help you take care of them."
"Asking my mother to take care of the child will definitely make my sister-in-law disagree. Aren't you asking me to quarrel with my sister-in-law? No, no, absolutely not."
After hearing what Song Jingjing said, Tang Xue closed her lips and said nothing.
Because she knew very well that no matter how she argued with Song Jingjing now, it would be futile.
She had already made up her mind that after receiving her salary after the New Year, she would immediately return to her hometown and stay away from this place of trouble.
Seeing Tang Xue remained silent, Song Jingjing thought her words had failed to impress her, so she quickly put on a pleasant expression and continued to coax her:
"Xiaoxue, if you are willing to help me take care of these lovely twin babies, I will not only give you extra salary.
Qingyan knows a lot of outstanding military officers. Let him help you introduce a suitable husband to you.
Also, I plan to send my little daughter Yingzi to nursery, so that your burden will be greatly reduced.
You just need to concentrate on helping take care of the twins, and keep an eye on my naughty Yifei."
However, Tang Xue was not moved at all by Song Jingjing's words.
She knew clearly in her heart that Song Jingjing was just painting a beautiful and illusory blueprint for her, and whether it could be fulfilled was still unknown.
Thinking back, Song Jingjing had vowed to introduce her brother-in-law to herself, but in the end, nothing happened. It was all just empty talk.
Therefore, Tang Xue couldn't help but retort: "Sister Jing, I am a weak woman. I have to take care of the twins, keep an eye on Feifei and make sure nothing goes wrong, and do the laundry and cooking.
"So much work is put on me. Do you think I can handle it all by myself? Even if I had three heads and six arms, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it!" After saying this, Tang Xue sighed helplessly, her face full of worry.
