Chapter 174
"It may be fetal movement. It's a lively little guy."
Tang Wan had a peaceful smile on her face. Four months later, she could occasionally feel very, very slight fetal movements.
The baby is still too young to be called a kicker, only a slight movement, and very rarely.
Lu Huaijing is lucky, so he can feel it.
“It’s amazing.”
There was joy in Lu Huaijing's dark eyes. He seldom smiled, but this time he smiled in a naive way.
Tang Wan's mood couldn't help but improve, and she nodded at him unhappily.
"What are you doing standing there? You're freezing. Cover yourself with the quilt."
After entering December, it became particularly cold outside, so Tang Wan simply brought the coal stove into the house.
If the coal stove is not completely turned off at night, the indoor temperature can also rise.
The important thing is to keep the water warm on the coal stove so you can wash your face anytime in the morning.
"Wife, I'll warm your feet."
Lu Huaijing held her feet in his hands and rubbed them hard. It wasn't too cold that day.
But it was also very cold, and Tang Wan was feeling a little lazy.
Suddenly I began to miss the heating in future lives, so that I wouldn't be frozen like this.
"Are you hungry? I baked some sweet potatoes and glutinous rice cakes for you."
Lu Huaijing heard Tang Wan's stomach growl. After she became pregnant, she often felt hungry at night.
A midnight snack is inevitable.
"Then bring it to me."
After Tang Wan finished speaking, she realized that her tone had a coquettish tone.
In front of Lu Huaijing, she became more and more unrestrained.
Staring at Lu Huaijing's back, Tang Wan tilted her head and thought about it. This was not a bad thing.
If a man is willing to pamper her, what's wrong with her being a little coquettish?
With this mentality, Tang Wan was well taken care of by Lu Huaijing, even toothpaste and toothbrush were brought to her bedside by Lu Huaijing.
At night, Tang Wan was held in Lu Huaijing's arms with a smile on her face.
After a night, when Tang Wan woke up in the morning, it was snowing outside, a thin layer.
Lu Huaijing left a note on the table, asking her to be more careful and go out less as the roads outside were slippery.
Tang Wan wasn't one to get upset, so she stayed in the house, warmed herself by the fire, and wrote.
I cooked a small hot pot at noon, and it was another casual day.
Lu Huai-li gave her chicken soup. Because of her and Lu Huai-jing's interference, Deng Wei-cheng and his friends finally did not return to their hometown.
So Lu Huaili became closer to her now.
"Third sister-in-law, Weicheng has almost recovered. He got a chicken. Thank you for your concern for us during this time."
Tang Wan would send them some delicious food every now and then, although it was nothing to her.
But it is a great thing for Lu Huaili and others.
So I remember them all.
"Don't be so polite."
Tang Wan did not refuse. Too many refusals would make Lu Huaili uncomfortable, so she took a sip of the soup.
"It tastes good. It's so comfortable to drink some hot soup on such a cold day."
"That's right, it's already the ninth day of the first lunar month, and the Chinese New Year will come in a month."
Lu Huaili sighed casually, and Tang Wan exclaimed, "Today is the ninth day of the lunar year?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Lu Huaili was a little surprised, but Tang Wan drank the soup in just a few gulps, "Today is the birthday of an elder I know.
If you see your brother, tell him I'm going to the recycling station in town."
She patted her head, thinking that it was a stupid head, living too comfortable a life.
Grandpa mentioned it before, today is his birthday.
"Although the snow has melted a lot, it's still very cold outside."
Lu Huaili was a little worried about Tang Wan. It had been snowing intermittently all day and it was freezing cold outside today.
Tang Wan packed up her things and said, "It's okay. I'll be more careful. If it doesn't work, I'll just leave."
Afraid that she would forget to tell Lu Huaijing, Tang Wan wrote a note and then rode her bicycle out of the compound.
There was snow on the ground, and the sun came out today, so the snow melted a lot. However, the ground was still a little wet, so it was not very easy to walk on.
So Tang Wan rode very carefully, because she was also concerned about the baby in her belly.
Normally it would take her thirty or forty minutes to ride there, but today it took her more than an hour.
The boss is about to go home after get off work.
Tang Wan came in a hurry, "Grandpa, happy birthday. It's snowing, so I came a little late."
She took out the plum wine and medicinal wine that she had prepared long ago.
The eldest master was a little disappointed that he didn't wait for her, but when he saw her, he couldn't help but nag.
"It's a good thing that you're thinking of me, but it's snowing outside and the roads are slippery. You're pregnant, so there's no need to rush here."
If something really goes wrong, he will blame himself for the rest of his life.
"Don't worry, Master. I know what I'm doing."
Tang Wan chuckled and pushed the wine in front of him, "These are all brewed by me.
Especially this medicinal wine, which I made by mixing the snakes I caught in the mountains with the medicine, and it is good for your health.”
"Thank you, girl, you are so thoughtful."
This was the best gift the eldest master had ever received, and he wiped his eyes.
"I haven't celebrated my birthday for three or four years. I'm glad you still remember it."
"Master, you have taught me a lot. Once a teacher, you are always a father."
Tang Wan's words came from the bottom of her heart. Ever since she read his notes, she would come to him for advice whenever she didn't understand something.
Every time, the grandfather patiently explained to her, so Tang Wan benefited a lot.
It is not unreasonable to respect him as a master.
"You are a sentimental child."
The eldest master was touched and said, "But it's getting late, you should go back quickly.
It’s too late and I’m worried about you going back alone.”
"Okay, then let Auntie make you a bowl of longevity noodles. Happy birthday, Master."
Tang Wan stuffed another bag of flour into the old man's hand, and then hurriedly rode her bicycle home.
The weather was cold today, so it got dark earlier, and she didn't dare to stay on the road.
Not only was it cold at night, but it was also unsafe to travel, and Tang Wan valued her life very much.
But she didn't dare to be in a hurry and rode her bicycle slowly towards the compound.
When it was getting dark and they were about to reach the compound, Tang Wan suddenly saw a bicycle lying upside down in front of her.
She was startled and quickly took out her flashlight. The weather was already a little gloomy and the vision was not very clear.
But she vaguely heard someone screaming in pain.
Only when she got closer did Tang Wan hear it clearly. The voice sounded somewhat familiar.
"Help."
"Sister-in-law Xia Qing?"
Tang Wan was shocked. It turned out to be Captain Xu's wife Xia Qing, who was sitting on the ground with a big belly.
The bicycle fell to one side, and the ground was covered with her things, including the aluminum lunch box she brought to work.
Seeing that it was Tang Wan, Xia Qing was overjoyed. She held her belly and said to Tang Wan in pain:
"Sister, my water broke, go to the compound and call for help."
"Wait, let me see how many fingers are open."
Although Tang Wan also felt that it would be more appropriate to return to the compound, Xia Qing was in so much pain.
She was a little worried that Xia Qing would give birth right after she left.
Sure enough, upon closer inspection, all ten fingers were almost spread apart, and Xia Qing wanted to roll around in pain.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, there's no one around here, so I have to help you deliver the baby."
