Chapter 204: She's Interesting (Page 1/2)
Lin Man originally planned to visit Huo Qingci's workplace, but it seems she will have to wait until next time. Anyway, the school is only about 800 meters away from the hospital, and it only takes eight or nine minutes to walk there.
The supply and marketing cooperative is 1,200 meters away from the school, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there.
Lin Man had nothing to do, and Yang Tao was carrying a child, so she walked very slowly.
When they reached the hospital, Lin Man took a look inside. Yang Tao said, "We'll move to the school so it's more convenient for medical care. I can just walk here when I give birth."
"When will your baby be born?"
"The due date is around April 8 next year, and I don't know if it will be earlier or later. My daughter Tingting was born a week later.
Teacher Lin, you gave birth to two sons. Was the due date advanced?
"The eldest is early, and the second is a day late."
"Is that so? Then is there any difference between your pregnancies with these two?"
Lin Man knew that Teacher Gao's wife probably wanted to have a son for her second child. Although both of her pregnancies were sons, they were more or less different, so the symptoms of pregnancy could not predict the gender of the baby.
After Yang Tao asked this, she was sure that this pregnancy was different from the previous one. If she said that her reactions were different during her two pregnancies, wouldn't that spoil her interest?
So Lin Man cautiously asked, "Is there any difference between this pregnancy and the last one?"
"Yes, I started vomiting as soon as I got pregnant with my daughter Tingting. I was still vomiting at five months pregnant. As a result, I didn't eat much during the pregnancy. Tingting weighed only 5.2 jin when she was born."
Most children born in this era weigh five or six kilograms, which is within the normal weight range. Those weighing seven or eight kilograms are rare, and those weighing more than ten kilograms are even rarer. If there are any, it will probably be reported in the newspapers.
"Oh, I see..."
"Teacher Lin, do you think the chances of me having a boy this time are much higher?"
She is just pregnant. Even if she is four or five months pregnant, she cannot tell whether Yang Tao is carrying a boy or a girl, and she does not have X-ray vision.
Lin Man smiled awkwardly, "Maybe!"
When Yang Tao heard what Lin Man said, she was immediately happy, "Teacher Lin, I want to give birth to two sons for our Lao Gao, so that my mother-in-law won't have any opinions about me.
You don’t know, my mother-in-law is patriarchal. When my daughter was born, she didn’t even hold her. Fortunately, my husband is a good man and doesn’t mind that I gave birth to a daughter.
He was afraid that I would be bullied by his mother, so when the school was recruiting teachers, he came to take the exam. After passing the exam, he sold his temporary job at the factory and brought Tingting and me to live in the school, away from them.
Seeing that Lin Man didn't say anything, Yang Tao said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I spoke too much. I actually gossiped about my mother-in-law to you..."
"It's okay, you don't have to worry too much, Comrade Yang. Your teacher Gao treats you very well." Lin Man praised sincerely.
"What about your husband? What does he do? Is he good to you? You gave birth to two sons. Your mother-in-law should like you very much, right?"
Every family has its own problems, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is an eternal problem. Lin Man thinks her mother-in-law has a good personality, and they have no conflicts because they don't live together every day.
During the six months we lived on the island, my mother-in-law would sometimes nag her son when she saw him bringing back a bunch of fruits and seafood.
Usually Lin Man would let her finish speaking first before starting to explain slowly.
Lin Man thought that if they also moved in with their parents-in-law, there would definitely be big conflicts.
After all, Huo Qingyan has already started a family and a career, and he and Ling Fei are both impatient and sometimes speak without thinking, which makes them easily offend people.
If she and Huo Qingci were offended, her parents-in-law would definitely get involved. No matter who they supported, quarrels would be inevitable.

Therefore, it is best not to live with elders. As for Huo Qingci's grandfather, that is another matter.
Taking good care of Grandpa was their unshirkable responsibility. Even though Grandpa would nag sometimes, Lin Man and Huo Qingci would never argue with him.
Besides, Grandpa had always been very caring and loving towards Huo Qingci and had given a lot to him.
Lin Man is grateful for this and will do her best to cater to her grandfather's wishes to ensure that he can live a carefree and peaceful old age.
"My husband works in a hospital. He's a cardiologist."
"Oh, your husband is a doctor, that's amazing. I heard doctors earn much more than teachers, especially surgeons. Does your husband perform surgery on patients?"
"Well, he basically does open-heart surgery."
Yang Tao was shocked. "Open-chest surgery? Does that mean they have to remove the ribs first?"
"It's not necessary in general, but only in special cases. It depends on the condition and the position of the patient's heart. If the ribs are blocking the way and it's inconvenient to remove them, then we need to remove them."
Yang Tao was a little scared when she thought of those operations. She didn't expect that Teacher Lin's husband was a doctor. She also wondered if Teacher Lin would be afraid to sleep with her husband?
What if her husband is sleepwalking? Will he use a knife to open her chest?
Lin Man saw Yang Tao looking at her strangely, somewhat confused. Yang Tao suddenly asked, "Teacher Lin, does your husband sleepwalk?"
Although she didn't know what Yang Tao meant by this question, Lin Man still answered truthfully.
"No, my wife doesn't sleepwalk or snore. Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Could it be that Teacher Gao sleepwalks?"
Yang Tao breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head. "No, my teacher Gao doesn't sleepwalk, he just grinds his teeth a little. There was a woman in our village who sleepwalked and attacked her husband with a knife, saying he was cutting pig grass.
There was also a little kid who sleepwalked and went to sleep in the cemetery at night..."
Lin Man thought Yang Tao was very interesting and loved telling stories. She wouldn't want to ask her if Huo Qingci could sleepwalk and then use a scalpel to open her chest, right?
She really had the nerve to think wildly. After the operation, the doctor would count the number of bloody gauze, not to mention the scalpels.
What's more, Huo Qingci had no habit of sleepwalking at all. In the end times, she had also heard rumors of medical students sleepwalking and going to the autopsy room to eat dried corpses.
Lin Man didn't explain much, and soon they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. Yang Tao took her daughter to look at the fabrics.
Lin Man went to buy a mat and a thermos, and suddenly saw a Honghua brand children's bicycle. She wanted to buy one for her son. She first asked the price and then asked if a ticket was required. She was about to buy it when she found out that she didn't want a ticket.
Suddenly I remembered that Yang Tao brought her daughter here. What if she bought a bicycle for her son and Gao Tingting also asked to buy one?
After thinking about it, I decided to wait until tomorrow at noon to buy it with Huo Qingci, so that it would be convenient to take it back then.
After Yang Tao finished shopping, she brought her daughter to Lin Man and asked, "Teacher Lin, do you want to buy a bicycle?"
"Take a look first and buy when tickets are available."
"My husband Gao said that the school will give out bicycle tickets when the teachers arrive, and whoever draws the ticket gets it."
Lin Man had no hope of winning the lottery. There were more than 20 teachers in the school, plus school leaders and cafeteria staff, more than 40 people in total. With so many people drawing one bicycle ticket, she would not be so lucky.
"Comrade Yang, have you finished shopping? If you have, let's go back now."
"good."
Before leaving, Lin Man took another look at the three-wheeled children's bicycle, hoping that it would still be there when they came tomorrow.
