Wang Mengjiao was stunned for a long moment, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the doctor, asking again in disbelief, "Doctor, I... I am... pregnant, right?"
She opened her eyes and looked at the doctor, waiting for his answer nervously and fearfully.
"Yes, you are pregnant." The doctor was no longer surprised by this kind of reaction and said after reading the examination list.
"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor." Wang Mengjiao was surprised and happy, and thanked him repeatedly.
The doctor took one look at her and said, "It's best not to be so emotionally agitated when you're pregnant."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, doctor." After hearing the doctor's words, Wang Mengjiao quickly calmed herself down.
She raised her hand to touch her belly, took a few deep breaths, and calmed herself down.
After asking many questions about pregnancy in the hospital, Wang Mengjiao carefully protected her belly all the way home.
It was already afternoon when they got home. Yang's mother and Yang Guozhong had already had lunch. Seeing Wang Mengjiao coming back, Yang's mother hurried to the kitchen and brought out the hot rice in the pot.
Wang Mengjiao clutched her belly, suppressing her excitement. She then pulled Yang's mother aside and said, "Mom, please stop. I have something to tell you."
Mother Yang put the food on the table, looked at Wang Mengjiao's happy face, and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Wang Mengjiao couldn't suppress the smile on her face, and her voice trembled with excitement: "Mom, I'm pregnant."
"What?" Yang's mother was shocked when she heard this. She looked up and down quickly, stretched out her hand and pulled her to the stool to let her sit down, then quickly asked:
"Pregnant? You're pregnant?"
Yang's mother was a little bit unbelieving when she heard this. After all, they had experienced many disappointments before. Wang Mengjiao hadn't had her period for two months, and she was also very sleepy during that period. Everyone said she was pregnant, but when they went to the hospital for a check-up, there was nothing.
"Well, actually I went to the hospital for a check-up yesterday." Now that the results are out, Wang Mengjiao no longer hides it and tells him that she actually went for a check-up yesterday.
"The results came out today, and I was afraid it wouldn't be true in the end, so I kept it a secret from you."
Yang's mother understood what was going on. No wonder
When she came back yesterday, she was a little distracted. It turned out that she had gone for a checkup. When she heard that Wang Mengjiao was pregnant, Yang's mother clapped her hands and was extremely excited.
"That's great, that's great! She's finally pregnant. This is a great event for our Yang family!" Mother Yang said excitedly, her eyes narrowed into slits with joy.
For the past two years, she had watched others holding their grandchildren, her heart filled with envy. Now that she heard that Wang Mengjiao was finally pregnant, she was overjoyed and wanted to go out and tell everyone in the team about it.
However, the child was still young, so Yang's mother just thought about it and then quickly ran into the house to tell Yang Guozhong the news.
"Old man, old man, come out quickly, I'm pregnant, we're going to have a grandson!"
"What? You mean your daughter-in-law is pregnant?" Yang Guozhong couldn't help but get excited when he heard it.
"Yes, I'm pregnant!"
"We have to inform Yugui about this as soon as possible. Even if we have to take a few days off, we have to come back to see her. Also, my in-laws are probably not at home right now. Let's go over there later and tell them the good news." Mother Yang said happily.
Yang Guozhong nodded and said, "Yes, we must inform them. My in-laws will definitely be happy then."
After she finished speaking, Yang's mother remembered that Wang Mengjiao hadn't eaten yet, so she hurried out again. Seeing Wang Mengjiao eating the food on the table, she went over to stop her:
"Don't eat these, they're not nutritious. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you right now."
Although Wang Mengjiao felt that there was nothing wrong with eating these meals, it was not easy to get pregnant after all, so she treated them with more care. After hearing what Yang's mother said, and considering that her family was not poorly off, she mentioned two dishes she wanted to eat.
"Hey, just sit there and wait for a moment. Mom will be done soon. Old man, come over and help me add some fuel to the fire."
Wang Mengjiao was taken care of carefully by Yang's mother. After dinner in the afternoon, she was sent into the house to rest. In the evening, Yang's mother and Yang Guozhong went to the house of the captain of the in-laws' team and told them about Wang Mengjiao's pregnancy.
"Pregnant?"
The couple were overjoyed when they heard this. Wang's mother immediately packed up the nutritious foods such as eggs and brown sugar at home and followed Yang's mother Yang Guozhong to Yang's house.
After arriving, the Queen Mother asked Wang Mengjiao about the specific situation and confirmed that she was really pregnant this time.
Two years later, finally
Now that they were pregnant, they could finally put their minds at ease.
The next day, Wang Mengjiao's father asked someone to take a letter to Yang Yugui. After all, he was going to be a father this time, so there was nothing wrong with asking for a few days of leave.
In the past two days, both families were happy about Wang Mengjiao's pregnancy, and the whole house was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
"What a coincidence, a while ago my second daughter brought her two children home. Before leaving, Baoya suddenly came to Jiaojiao and touched her belly. A few days later, she found out that she was pregnant. It's really amazing." Mother Yang couldn't help but say when she thought of the scene that day.
"Oh, there is such a thing?"
"Don't disbelieve this, it's really true. When your daughter-in-law gets pregnant, go out and ask the children in the brigade to see if it's a boy or a girl."
Some people in the team would do this: they would find a few little boys to point at the pregnant woman and ask her whether she is a brother or a sister, and then guide her to say it is a brother, which implies that the baby in her belly is a son with a penis.
Although Yang's mother also had deep-seated beliefs and subconsciously wanted a grandson, she also thought that a granddaughter like Baoya would be nice. Besides, whether it was a boy or a girl couldn't be changed by just asking. So she didn't pursue the matter and let it go.
Yang's mother was talking to someone in the yard. Wang Mengjiao was sitting in her room. She could hear everything that was said outside clearly through the wall. However, when she heard Yang's mother talking about Baoya, she couldn't help but frown.
She kept thinking about this incident these days and felt it was too coincidental, as if Baoya knew what was going to happen, touching her belly and telling her not to quarrel.
However, when Wang Mengjiao thought about Baoya again, she felt that she was overthinking it. Maybe it was just a coincidence.
Anyway, no matter what, she was very grateful to Baoya and Yang Yulan. Otherwise, if she had really quarreled with the family of three that day, no one knew what would have happened.
She was now thinking that when Yang Yulan came back next time, she would have to thank them in person.
Wang Mengjiao thought about what she had said and done before, and felt a little ashamed.
When it was evening, Yang Yugui came back, looking very tired.
As soon as he entered the door, he ran straight to Wang Mengjiao with an expression of surprise and joy on his face.
"I...I'm going to be a father, Jiaojiao, is this true?"
Wang Mengjiao touched her belly and nodded, and the whole family laughed happily.
......
While the Yang family was in high spirits, something happened in the Hongqi Production Brigade.
That day, a cadre rode a 28-bar motorcycle to the brigade headquarters to find Song Yuangang, and then told him about a task assigned by his superiors.
"The one who was transferred down will be assigned to our brigade?" Song Yuangang asked in surprise.
"Yes, it will probably be here in a few days, so you should prepare in advance." After saying that, the cadre briefly said something and left.
Just after Song Yuan sent the people away, he frowned, wondering where the demoted people would be assigned.
These relegated people were truly difficult to deal with. They had some status before, but now, even though they'd been relegated, it was unclear whether they'd ever see a resurgence. Furthermore, many of them were intellectuals, and Song Yuangang, having grown up in the dirt, was in awe of these educated individuals.
So, we can't be harsh to others, but we can't treat them too well either.
After thinking for a while, Song Yuangang remembered that there were people sent down from the Yuejin Production Brigade, and the cattle shed was built in the middle of the two brigades. So he might as well build a cattle shed next to it so that they could all stay together.
After thinking about it, Song Yuangang went to the Yuejin Production Brigade and told Gao Zhifu about it. Gao Zhifu also thought it was feasible, and then the two of them discussed it.
Before leaving, Song Yuangang asked him about the work of the people in the cowshed and the food and other matters, and Gao Zhifu told him everything.
After returning home, Song Yuangang had a rough idea in mind and began to gather the men in the brigade to build the cattle shed. Among the selected people were the two brothers Song Aiguo and Song Aimin.
The cowshed was easy to build and the work was not too hard. A few people worked together to build it in just a few days. Not long after, the Hongqi Production Brigade welcomed the first person who was transferred from the brigade.
At dinner that night, the Song family members talked about the man who had been sent down to the countryside: "Hey, have you met that man?"
Song Aiguo nodded: "I saw him when I first came here.
Once, I heard that he was a teacher at a university in Kyoto.
"A university teacher? Why was he demoted?"
"I don't know, maybe he did something wrong."
The situation was turbulent, so they didn't dare say anything. Then Chen Xiuxiu remembered and asked, "Was it built together with the cowshed of the Yuejin Production Brigade?"
"Yeah, it's not far away." Song Aiguo said after taking a bite of the food.
"By the way, if he lives there, it will be inconvenient for us to send things to Uncle Zhao and the others in the future. What if that person sees us?"
Feng Guizhi also thought of this. She had never seen the newcomer to the bullpen, and she didn't know if his presence would affect Zhao Rongsheng and the others. But now that it had come to this, she could only take it one step at a time. If she went there again, she would be more careful.
In the past few days, the sweet potatoes planted in the private plot have been harvested and dried. Then they picked them out and put the good unpeeled ones into the cellar. The rest were kept for later consumption.
In the evening, Feng Guizhi wanted to go to the back to pick some corns to make a corn pancake for Yuanbao. Yuanbao had been talking about this corn pancake for a long time.
When Feng Guizhi was about to go out with the basket, Yuanbao saw her and said quickly, "Grandma, are you going to pick some corn? I'll go, I'll go."
Seeing Yuanbao's enthusiasm, Feng Guizhi didn't refuse him and handed him the basket. "Okay, go ahead. Just remember not to let anyone see you. Just pick four or five heads, and pick the big ones."
Yuanbao held the basket in both hands, took note of Feng Guizhi's words, and nodded, "Okay, grandma, I got it. I will definitely bring back the biggest corn!"
Feng Guizhi smiled and said, "Go ahead."
Yuanbao turned around and called Baoya, "Little sister Xiaobao, come with me to pick corn."
After hearing this, Baoya followed Yuanbao. The two younger ones looked around secretly first. When they saw that there was no one outside, they went all the way to the private plot.
"Little sister, grandma said to break the big corns, so we will pick the biggest ones to break later."
Baoya nodded her head affirmatively and frowned seriously. Later, she would find the biggest corn, break it off and take it home.
After arriving, the two younger ones began to search in the cornfield.
"The biggest corn..."
However, as he watched, Yuanbao frowned.
