An Hongdou was no longer being pretentious, and Shen Xiangzhi quickly moved a stool over for her to sit on, with her wrist on the table.
Mr. Zhang also took out the pulse pillow and got ready.
When the pulse diagnosis was over, Mr. Zhang's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"Grandpa, is there anything wrong?" An Hongdou asked worriedly.
Old Master Zhang shook his head and said, "The last time I examined your pulse, I found out you were pregnant with twins. This time, there's one more."
"One more?" Shen Xiangzhi didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and in fact, he didn't dare to think about it.
Two children were already surprising enough for him, and now there was another one...
It's something I wouldn't even dare to dream of.
"Yes, there is one more." Mr. Zhang said this with a little more certainty, but with a hint of sadness, "The pulse of this additional one is a little weak. It may be because of this, so we didn't diagnose it last time."
"Will there be any problems?" Shen Xiangzhi asked worriedly.
"It's hard to say." Old Master Zhang sighed, "However, it's already this month, you guys just need to be more careful, it shouldn't be a big deal. By the way, your wife is having multiple babies, remember, you must go to the hospital early when you give birth, so it's safer."
"Mr. Zhang, do you think I need to prescribe some more medicine to preserve the pregnancy?" Chen Xiangzhi didn't understand any of this, he only knew that his heart was pounding very fast.
"All medicines are poisonous, so I won't prescribe it for you. Also, I see that your baby is doing well, so you don't need to worry too much. As long as the pregnant woman remains in a good mood and no danger occurs, nothing will happen." Old Master Zhang comforted.
"call……"
Shen Xiangzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Xiangzhi was worried about Mr. Zhang going back alone, and he was also worried about his family. He didn't want to go and see him off by himself, so he simply took a piece of meat he had just bought and went to the An family, asking the An family's brother to take Mr. Zhang back to him.
Shen Xiangzhi got a bicycle, but he didn't ride it very often, so it was a bargain for the children of the An family. They came to borrow the bicycle all day long, rode around the village, and enjoyed the envious looks of other children.
After arranging for Mr. Zhang, Shen Xiangzhi returned home and pulled An Hongdou to sit down without saying a word. He squatted on the ground, touching her bulging belly with one hand, imagining the three children in her belly.
As I thought about it, I started to laugh out loud.
An Hongdou was amused by his silly look and burst out laughing. She reached out and pushed him on the forehead, "Are you stupid?"
Shen Xiangzhi looked up at her, and that smile made him look even more handsome. "An Hongdou, did you hear what Mr. Zhang said? He said there are three children here..."
An Hongdou heard it, but she was not as happy as Shen Xiangzhi.
In those days, medical technology was not well developed and there was no B-ultrasound. She originally thought it was quite rare to be pregnant with twins, but when she thought that there were three in her belly, she became more worried about her safety during childbirth.
Thinking of this, she suddenly asked stupidly, "Xiangzhi Chen, if when I give birth, the doctor asks you whether you want to keep the older one or the younger one, what will you choose?"
After asking, she was stunned.
Because, although the two of them are not as hostile as before, and have discussed living a good life together in the future, that is purely for the sake of the child. Neither side thinks the other is disgusting, and they also want to give the child a complete family.
To be precise, they have no emotional foundation.
It seemed strange that she asked this question.
Maybe Shen Xiangzhi didn't expect her to ask this, and he was stunned for a few seconds.
When he came to his senses, An Hongdou had already pushed him away and stood up, pretending to cover up and said, "What are we having for dinner? I'm hungry."
Shen Xiangzhi looked at the sky outside. It was only mid-afternoon. "Why are you hungry so soon? Didn't you have lunch?"
"I ate it, but I'm starving now."
An Hongdou has indeed lost a lot of weight during this period, but not as fast as at the beginning.
She didn't try to lose weight on purpose, and even ate a lot at every meal.
As for why this happened, she herself had no idea and could only attribute it to the fact that all the fat on her body had been absorbed by the baby in her belly.
After all, it's the third child, so it has to be a little unusual, right?
Shen Xiangzhi looked at his wife who was getting thinner and thinner. Her originally big face had become the size of a palm, her strong arms had become slender, and her strong back was weak, especially against her huge belly, her calves looked particularly thin.
This is also the reason why Shen Xiangzhi is always worried about An Hongdou.
With her big belly in her small body, he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to support herself when walking.
Besides, he never treated An Hongdou badly.
She serves him delicious food and drinks every day, and he wants to go to the toilet with her when he gets up at night. How come she is... getting thinner and thinner?
No wonder he used to hear people say that giving birth is harmful to the body. As a man, he used to not take it seriously. But now, seeing the changes in An Hongdou's belly gradually growing, he feels more and more that it is not easy to be a mother.
But to be fair, An Hongdou looks better and better after losing weight.
Porcelain-white skin, beautiful facial features, eyebrows and eyes that curve when she smiles, the sharpness of the past has faded, with the faint maternal glow of pregnancy. Sitting here, the picture gives people a sense of satisfaction of a quiet time.
"Then you take a rest and don't move. I'll go cook for you." It happened that he bought meat today and originally planned to cook it in the evening. Looking at the time, it was almost time to stew it.
Put the meat into the pot to stew first, and then Shen Xiangzhi prepared some food for him to eat first.
After all, it's still too early to wait for the meat to be cooked.
Not long after, Ande Lai came over.
As soon as he entered the room, he asked about Hongdou's health with concern. She answered with a smile and then invited him in to sit down.
An Hongdou's tone was somewhat flattering, because she also knew that March was a good time to grow seedlings and sow seeds, and it was fine for her to stay at home with a big belly, and Shen Xiangzhi was also worried about her not going to work because she was too hungry.
I'm afraid that some people in the village are gossiping again?
Andelai never comes here for no reason, so this must be the reason why he came here.
Unexpectedly, while Chen Xiangzhi was preparing dinner, An Delai came into the room and asked An Hongdou in a low voice, "Hongdou, tell your second uncle the truth, what is the family background of Chen Xiangzhi?"
An Hongdou's heart was slightly moved, but she didn't know what had happened, so she could only respond nonchalantly: "Why is Second Uncle asking this? He is just an educated youth who went to the countryside, what kind of family background can he have? If his family was well off, why would he come to our mountain village?"
