As he spoke, Chen Xiangzhi put his ears against her belly and coaxed her, "Isn't it, babies? You should be obedient in your mother's belly, otherwise, you will be spanked after you are born..."
His childish look made An Hongdou laugh.
"Okay, okay, let's go to bed. I'm so sleepy." An Hongdou yawned. She was really sleepy, but she couldn't pretend to be uncomfortable.
Shen Xiangzhi was also helpless.
If there was really no such thing, he might have wanted to get pregnant for her.
He didn't know what it was like for other women when they were pregnant, but An Hongdou's pregnancy was really very tiring.
It was fine before, he could eat and drink and there was nothing wrong with him. But in the past half month, he has become really difficult to please.
She felt uncomfortable lying down, had back pain when sitting, and couldn't walk. Her temper changed every now and then. She wanted to eat braised pork one second, and suddenly wanted to eat wild vegetables the next. When she picked the wild vegetables, she said braised pork would be fine.
If he hadn't known that she didn't have to, he would have suspected that she was torturing him on purpose.
However, looking at her belly that was as round as a ball, and thinking about how she was plump and beautiful a few months ago, but after several months of pregnancy, she was almost as thin as Zhao Feiyan, he also understood how difficult it was for her.
During the busy farming season, he often heard women in the village say that they still went to work in the fields even when they were pregnant, and some even rushed to harvest right after giving birth.
He also knew that many people were jealous of An Hongdou. They were jealous that she was spoiled by Old Lady An before she got married, and that she was spoiled by a man like him who had no opinion of his own after she got married. Other people were still busy in the fields after giving birth, but she stopped working as soon as she knew she was pregnant.
Some of the words were said intentionally for him to hear.
Shen Xiangzhi heard it, but threw it out in the blink of an eye.
Can it be the same?
Other women give birth to one child each time, but this guy gave birth to three. Not only did he not have to work, he almost treated her like a grandmother at home.
But he couldn't say this to anyone, as he was afraid of making those old women even more jealous.
Feeling the charcoal pancake-like movements of the person next to him, how could Shen Xiangzhi sleep? He simply talked about his plan, "Grandpa Zhang told us to go to the hospital when the baby is about to be born. I thought, why don't we move to the town in advance and wait? The bridge behind the village has not been repaired yet. If we really wait until the baby is about to be born, it will be inconvenient to go to the town on the mountain road."
"Where should we stay if we go to town?" An Hongdou also understood that although it is said that pregnancy lasts ten months, very few people can actually last for 10 full months, not to mention that she is pregnant with three babies and has already passed the 9-month mark, so she will give birth soon.
"I have a friend's house that's empty. If you agree, I'll go and clean it up tomorrow and we'll go there quickly." Chen Xiang knew.
"That's fine." An Hongdou took his hand and put it on her belly, because she found that when Shen Xiangzhi put his hand on her belly, the child would settle down and stop kicking.
Soon, the sound of An Hongdou's even breathing came to my ears.
Shen Xiangzhi paused as he was about to pull his hand back. Through the bright moonlight, he looked at her sleeping face lying on her side and the fatigue between her brows, and a hint of tenderness could not help but grow in his heart.
He would soon become a father of three.
This new identity makes people both excited and nervous.
He will try his best to be a good father, but he is afraid that he will not play the role well.
As soon as it was light, Chen Xiangzhi went to An's house and told Mrs. An that she could go home to look after An Hongdou when she had time, and then he set off pushing his bicycle.
Shen Xiangzhi had never told An Hongdou about his own affairs, but the household material expenses had all been paid by Shen Xiangzhi since they had been together.
After all, after spending several months together day and night, Shen Xiangzhi could vaguely guess that An Hongdou seemed to have her own secrets.
For example, she always has a faint fragrance on her body, which becomes stronger with each bath, and then fades after two days.
For example, every night when they lay together to sleep, he could smell the cool mint scent in his breath.
Also, there would be some food crumbs on the floor from time to time, most of which he had never eaten.
There were also the bottles and jars she used for facial cleansing, which didn't look outstanding, but one winter when he was outside for a long time and his face was dry by the wind, he secretly used her skin care products on his face.
The next day, the rough pores next to his nose were no longer visible, and his skin, which he had deliberately tanned with great difficulty, began to turn white again. His face felt comfortable and there was no feeling of dryness at all.
He originally thought that he would try her skin care products once and then buy her some when he went to town, but later he realized that her things were something he couldn't buy even if he had money.
Everyone has their own little secrets. She never took the initiative to talk about them, so he didn't ask.
An Hongdou slept until dawn, and had just woken up when Old Lady An came.
An Hongdou was combing her hair with a wooden comb in the yard. The original owner had long hair, and she had never cut her hair in the nine months since she came here. Her hair had grown to her waist.
However, compared with her previous dull and frizzy hair, she now has black and shiny hair, tied up with a rubber band and hanging down behind her, and even her hair volume has increased.
Old lady An brought her breakfast from the kitchen. Seeing this, she said, "Hongdou, you're about to give birth, and you can't wash your hair or take a bath during the confinement period. Do you want to cut your hair shorter? It's not good to get lice if you stay in confinement in such hot weather."
When lice were mentioned, An Hongdou's scalp began to tingle.
"You can't wash your hair or take a bath for a month?" She had heard people talk about confinement after childbirth before, but later on, didn't everyone emphasize scientific confinement after childbirth? So washing your hair or taking a bath didn't matter, right?
She had never experienced it, so she didn't really understand what it was like.
"Of course." Mrs. An was very sure, "You just gave birth to a child, and all the pores on your body are open. Don't even wash your hair or take a bath. You can't even be exposed to the wind, otherwise you will suffer when you get older!"
"Then... cut it shorter." Anyway, even if she didn't have to observe the confinement period, she would still want to cut her hair shorter.
Such long hair is really hard to take care of.
Moreover, An Hongdou made up her mind that when no one was around, she would check whether it was possible to take a bath during the confinement period.
She was really scared. If she didn't take a shower for a month in such hot weather, she would get fleas even if she didn't have lice, right?
An Hongdou had breakfast and sat in the yard. Old Lady An took a pair of scissors and gestured at her ponytail, asking her, "Mom will cut it here for you. Do you think it's okay?"
An Hongdou looked at the length and said, "Make it shorter."
She gestured to the shoulder position with her hand, thought for a moment, and felt that it would be difficult to tie her hair if it was too short, so she let it grow a little longer.
