When Wang Mengjiao saw the man coming, she subconsciously covered her stomach and took a step back for some reason.
Before, she wouldn't be afraid of anyone who showed up and would have just gone up to them and scolded them. After all, she was the captain's daughter. The people in the team weren't afraid of her, but they were definitely more polite to her. She wasn't afraid of anyone, especially since she was in the right.
However, when she thought of Baoya's behavior last time, she inexplicably felt panic in her heart, and suddenly she couldn't say anything.
Wang Mengjiao suppressed her strange emotions, but she wasn't in the mood to argue with them anymore. "Forget it, forget it. I'll just blame it on my bad luck."
"Let's go home, Mom. I'm so dirty. I have to go back and take a shower." Wang Mengjiao frowned and looked at her dirty self, and went back with Yang's mother.
"Hey." Yang's mother responded and walked home with her. On the way, Yang's mother asked about what happened just now, and Wang Mengjiao told her.
It was just dirty clothes, and the pork could be eaten after washing it. Yang's mother was a kind person, and after hearing this, she advised her: "Go home and wash it, it's nothing serious, don't be angry."
Wang Mengjiao nodded and said nothing more.
Seeing them leave, the woman and the child breathed a sigh of relief, but then they felt a little guilty.
The man next to them frowned and asked them, "Is that the captain's daughter?"
"What happened just now? Did she bully you?"
The woman shook her head and told the story. The man realized he had wronged her. He had thought Wang Mengjiao was bullying them. If he hadn't remembered that she was a woman, he would have almost hit her.
He turned his head to look in the direction where Wang Mengjiao and Yang's mother left, and kept this matter in mind. After all, it was his son who did something wrong.
After arriving home, Yang's mother quickly boiled some hot water and gave Wang Mengjiao a bath, and then she also washed the pork.
When Wang Mengjiao went to bed at night, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She kept thinking about what had just happened and what Baoya had said.
She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, her hand slowly placed on her belly. She had a very strange feeling in her heart, and at the same time, an idea came into her mind.
Wang Mengjiao suddenly sat up, staring with a look of shock.
She suddenly remembered that she hadn't had her period for two months.
However, she had experienced irregular periods before, and at that time she thought she was pregnant and went to the hospital with great joy, but was still disappointed. This time...
Wang Mengjiao's heart was beating wildly. She didn't know if she could still have such a hope. She was so nervous and scared that she even hesitated to go to the hospital for a checkup, fearing she would be disappointed.
Wang Mengjiao hadn't slept all night, and her face looked visibly haggard. In the morning, Mother Yang saw her and asked worriedly:
"What's wrong? Jiaojiao, didn't you sleep well last night? Why do you look so bad?"
Wang Mengjiao looked at Yang's mother, opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything. She just shook her head and said, "It's okay. Maybe I didn't sleep well."
After finishing her meal, Wang Mengjiao went out alone. Mother Yang thought she went to work, but Wang Mengjiao didn't come back until noon. When she went out to ask, she found out that Wang Mengjiao didn't go to work at all.
Yang's mother was suddenly very anxious. She looked around but couldn't find anyone. She thought of going home to see if the person was already at home. However, the person was still not at home.
"Old man, where did Jiaojiao go? Why hasn't she come back yet?"
Yang Guozhong thought that Wang Mengjiao didn't do anything unusual during breakfast, so he frowned and tried to comfort her: "Maybe she went out to do something. Don't worry too much. Let's wait a little longer. If she hasn't come back yet, let's go look for her in-laws together."
Mother Yang was still a little worried, but after hearing what was said, she had to think positively. She sat in the main room, staring at the door. If anyone passed by the door, she would stand up to see if it was Wang Mengjiao who had returned.
Just when the two of them were getting anxious and were about to go out to find the captain, Wang Mengjiao came back.
"Oh, Jiaojiao, you're finally back. Where have you been? Why didn't you tell me?" When Yang's mother saw her, her heart was finally at ease. She walked up to Wang Mengjiao and said.
Wang Mengjiao was a little dazed. When she heard the voice, she looked up at Yang's mother in a daze: "Mom, what did you just say?"
Seeing her distracted look, Yang's mother suddenly became worried again, "What happened? Tell your parents if you have anything to say. Don't keep it in your heart."
Wang Mengjiao looked at Yang's mother's worried face and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
She went to the hospital for a checkup today, but the results are still
The results would not come out until tomorrow, so she didn't know whether she was pregnant or not. She wanted to tell Yang's mother, but she was afraid that it would be a false alarm and she would be disappointed.
"I just felt a little uncomfortable when I woke up this morning, so I went to the hospital." Wang Mengjiao held back and didn't say anything. She would know tomorrow anyway, so there was no need to rush.
"You don't feel well? What's wrong? Is it serious?"
"It's okay, the doctor said it's nothing serious, come back and rest."
Hearing her say this, Yang's mother felt relieved and pulled her into the house: "Then don't go to work this afternoon, just rest at home."
Wang Mengjiao nodded.
........
Wang Mengjiao was absent-minded and uneasy the whole day, while the old Song family was still living their lives peacefully as usual.
After work in the evening, Feng Guizhi saw that it was still light, so she asked Song Aiguo to go to the field to dig sweet potatoes, while Song Aimin went to the back of the house to build a cellar.
When the children saw Song Aiguo carrying his hoe, they all wanted to follow him. They had heard Yuanbao say that the sweet potatoes at home were ready to be harvested. He and his sister Xiaobao had helped their grandmother dig sweet potatoes yesterday. So, when they saw him, they wanted to go over and help.
Normally, if they work alone, they may feel tired or bored, but when a few kids work together and treat it as a game, no one feels unhappy.
Feng Guizhi saw that they wanted to go but did not stop them. She knew that the children in the family were sensible, so she let them go if they wanted to help.
Several younger ones ran over. The older ones, Song Bowen and Song Boyu, took hoes to help dig, and then the remaining younger ones were responsible for picking up the sweet potatoes. Not only did they put away the sweet potatoes, they also put the sweet potato leaves in a separate basket as Feng Guizhi had said.
Grandma said that sweet potatoes are precious and even the leaves are edible. So when the children picked up the sweet potato leaves, they carefully brushed off the dirt on them.
With the help of a few younger ones, the work went much faster. As the sky gradually darkened, Song Aiguo stopped after digging a bunch of dirt.
"That's all for today. We'll go back after we finish picking up the items."
"Okay." The little ones nodded, put away the rest carefully, and then went home when no one was around.
Feng Guizhi had already prepared the meal at home, two plates of stir-fried vegetables, and a plate of stir-fried sweet potato leaves.
The method is simple, but it tastes good. Then I cooked porridge with sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes at this time are particularly sweet, and adding them to the porridge is like adding brown sugar.
In the evening, the kids each drank a big bowl.
Feng Guizhi held Tiantian in her arms and fed her half a bowl of food with a small spoon. The little one was very happy eating and kept clapping her hands.
After feeding Tiantian, Feng Guizhi let Yang Yulan hold her and started to eat. While eating, she suddenly remembered the three yuan and asked:
"Did you hear that any of your classmates' families lost money?"
Song Bowen and Song Boyu thought about it and shook their heads, as if they had never heard of it. Tian En looked at Yun Duo. Neither of them had heard of any classmate's family losing money.
"It seems that no... no money was lost."
Wenzhi was about to say no when Wenjie suddenly remembered and said quickly, "We have one in our class!"
Feng Guizhi asked, "Whose family?"
"Liu Dazhu's house." Wen Jie finished speaking, then remembered that Liu Dazhu was Bao Ya's brother, and added: "It's Xiao Bao's sister's former home. I heard Liu Dazhu say in class that his family lost money."
"Who was it that scolded Xiaobao's sister last time?" Boyu asked after hearing this.
Wenjie nodded and said, "Yes, it's him. His name is Liu Dazhu."
When they heard it was him, the little ones couldn't help but say, "Serves him right. Let him scold Little Treasure."
"That's right, now you're unlucky."
"He also said that Xiaobao sister is a jinx, but I think he is the jinx. Isn't this just a waste of money, huh!"
Chen Xiuxiu heard Wenjie talking about Baoya's previous home, which was that of Chen Fengxia.
Sun Suyun also said: "It seems that the three yuan must have been lost by Chen Fengxia. This is quite fitting. After doing so many immoral things, she is heartbroken to lose such a small amount of money."
"That's right. And how did Baoya just happen to pick it up? It must be that God couldn't stand it anymore and came to compensate our Baoya girl."
"It's okay to say this at home, but you can't say it outside. Feudal superstitions are not allowed now," Feng Guizhi warned.
Chen Xiuxiu nodded quickly in agreement. She only said this because of her family, and she wouldn't dare mention it outside.
Feng Guizhi now felt that the money was most likely lost by Chen Fengxia. In this case, the money should be kept as the eldest daughter-in-law said.
Otherwise, if she really gave it back to Chen Fengxia, she could guess without thinking that she might not only not thank them but also turn the tables and say that they stole the money.
She is not willing to do thankless tasks.
"Let's leave it at that for now. You can't mention the money you picked up outside, do you hear me?" Although Feng Guizhi knew that the younger ones wouldn't talk about it outside, she still reminded them to be on the safe side so that they wouldn't let it slip.
The younger ones knew that they couldn't tell anyone about this, so they pursed their lips and nodded vigorously in agreement.
The matter was over, and Feng Guizhi still kept the money.
After dinner, it was completely dark outside. Yuanbao went to sleep in the west room with Tianen, while Tiantian was left to sleep with Feng Guizhi.
Before going to bed, Yuanbao missed Li Qingyan a little. Afraid that he would cry, he rubbed his eyes and dared not think about it anymore. Soon he fell asleep with even breathing.
Baoya fell asleep quickly today, with her long eyelashes covering her eyes, and fell asleep.
The next day was a good day. After getting up in the morning, Feng Guizhi, Yang Yulan, Chen Xiuxiu and others spread the sweet potatoes they had dug in the past two days in the yard to dry in the sun. After they were dry, they were put into the cellar. This way they could be stored for a long time and would not spoil easily, so they could be eaten in winter.
The younger ones went to school, so Baoya and Yuanbao didn't go out in the morning. They stayed at home to play with Tiantian and teach her to speak.
Baoya took Tiantian's chubby little hand and asked her to call her sister. Yuanbao next to her asked her to teach her to call him brother. Tiantian opened her eyes, looked at Baoya and then at Yuanbao, showing her two little front teeth, waving her arms and babbling.
......
At the Yang family's place, the test results were due today, and Wang Mengjiao had to go to the hospital again. She told Yang's mother that she still felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to go to the hospital for another checkup.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Did you catch a cold at night? I'll go with you." Mother Yang said with a frown and a little worry.
"No need, it's nothing serious. I can go and take a look myself." Wang Mengjiao refused to let Yang's mother go with her. In the end, Yang's mother couldn't persuade her and let her go by herself.
Wang Mengjiao made the journey to the hospital, her mind a whirlwind, restless and filled with anticipation and a touch of fear.
Until I got the results, I just stayed where I was.
