Shi Zhentang saw that his wife looked unwell and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Tian Yuzhu shook her head.
Since she became pregnant, her foresight has become more sensitive than ever.
Usually it’s nothing serious, just things falling or a kid falling down.
As long as she was there, she would have stopped these things from happening in time.
But something has been wrong in the past few days.
"My eyelids keep twitching."
She raised her hand and pressed her eyelids. "My due date is getting closer and closer. My eyelids are twitching and I'm feeling anxious. Could it be that Aunt Zhang's return to her hometown has changed anything?"
Shi Zhentang tried to comfort her: "It's also possible that you're under a lot of psychological pressure. Let's not think about the due date for now. I'll spend more time with you recently. By the way, Yuzhu, how about we install a phone?"
The family has enough money to install a telephone, and it will be more convenient for my wife after it is installed.
For example, when she was bored at home, she could call the supply and marketing cooperative to chat with Jinju.
Tian Yuzhu had also thought about this: "Okay, when you have time, please contact the contact center. We can also buy a TV."
"Okay, but I need a ticket for the TV. I'll go ask the boss."
The Panda brand televisions of this era were of particularly good quality and not cheap, costing around 600 yuan each, while people of this era earned less than 200 to 300 yuan a year.
The next day, Shi Zhentang went to the leader's office to apply, and he was actually given a TV ticket.
On the third day, Shi Zhentang went to the provincial capital and bought a TV and installed a telephone. Finally, his small home had some decent electrical appliances.
In the evening, the couple called the Quanshui Village Committee and asked the village party secretary to tell the old lady the time to answer the phone.
I called again half an hour later, and the old lady was waiting on the other end!
"Grandma, this is the phone installed in our house. I'll give you the number. You can dial this number to call home directly in the future." After a few pleasantries, Tian Yuzhu told her grandmother about the happy things.
When the old lady heard that the family had installed a telephone, she was happy for them: "That's great. Grandma, if you miss you, you can just call directly. I used to feel embarrassed to call the military office all the time, for fear of disturbing others."
"Oh, right." The old lady murmured, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot to tell you, your uncle found a nanny, saying that he carefully selected talents. After you give birth, the nanny will help you take care of the baby. You don't have to pay for it, your uncle will pay it."
"ah?"
Tian Yuzhu and Shi Zhentang looked at each other.
They were still worried about the nanny, but they never expected that their uncle would arrange this matter.
Shi Zhentang's first reaction was to refuse: "Grandma, let's find it ourselves. Yuzhu..."
"Listen to me," the old lady said earnestly, "You are the only child of our Gong family. My uncle loves you as much as I do. He just wants to do his best. Just accept you, okay?"
Now that things have come to this, refusing again will only make the old lady sad.
Tian Yuzhu quickly said, "Alright, then we'll listen to Uncle and set the salary ourselves."
"No, Yuzhu, listen to grandma. Don't worry about this matter. Your uncle has repeatedly warned you to do so. He is old, so just listen to him this once."
"Well... okay! Grandma, please thank our uncle for us."
The young couple felt a little embarrassed. They had never met the old man and had never done anything to show filial piety to him, but instead they caused him to worry.
The old lady said, "What's there for a family to thank? Oh, by the way, last time he didn't know they were twins, so he only named one, and then he named the other. The eldest will be named Gong Luoyi, the second will be Gong Luoxiang, and if one of them is a girl, then she'll be named Gong Luoyu."
"Okay, we'll take note."
"Yuzhu, don't be afraid. The doctors in the military area are excellent and they will take good care of you."
The old lady's words made Tian Yuzhu's eyes sore.
She is not afraid of climbing mountains of swords or diving into seas of fire, but it would be a lie to say that she is not afraid of giving birth.
It's just that she has been trying to adjust her mindset these days.
At this time, she envied those who traveled through time to be cheap mothers, but she still had to give birth to a child herself.
After chatting with grandma for a few more sentences, the old lady mentioned Yang Dahua.
It is said that Yang Dahua seems like a different person. She is more active than anyone else in working in the fields every day and her temper is not as bad as before.
The kitchen cabinets at home were not locked, so Shi Weiqiang and Shi De could eat whatever they wanted without asking her.
The old lady even praised her: "The country is really good. In just one year, they educated such a worthless girl into a well-behaved person. If I had known this would happen, I should have let her go to jail sooner."
Tian Yuzhu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she heard this.
She now hopes that Yang Dahua will really change and does not expect any contact in the future. As long as she does not interfere with Su Zhen and their clothing business, she will be thankful.
As for when the nanny would come to the military area, the old lady was also confused: "It should be soon. I have already told your uncle your due date, and he will arrange it."
…
Three days later, Tian Yuzhu's anxiety became more and more obvious.
The two little ones in my belly became restless and the fetal movements became more frequent.
Ye Qingqing was also worried about her condition, and would come to her house almost every day after get off work to measure her blood pressure and listen to her fetal heart rate.
Let her relax as much as possible and not think about the birth of the child.
And because her due date is approaching, her sisters-in-law no longer come to her house to disturb her, otherwise they would not let the TV be just a decoration.
Shi Zhentang was afraid that she would be uncomfortable sitting, so he simply moved the TV to the small table in the bedroom so that she could watch it while lying in bed.
It’s just that there aren’t many shows in this era.
The TV series only has one episode a day, and it airs on time every day. After one episode is finished, you have to wait until tomorrow.
Then comes the news broadcast, and the rest of the time will be filled with commercials and sports programs.
Tian Yuzhu lay down however she felt comfortable, feeling that she was no different from a pig.
Xiao Hei stayed with her every step of the way.
She was curled up in bed, and it was lying on the floor beside the bed.
Shi Zhentang was busy in the kitchen, lighting the fire and cooking, making his wife's favorite mixed vegetable hotpot.
My wife's appetite has changed recently. She doesn't want to eat meat and only wants to eat vegetarian food.
She loves it every time she cooks several kinds of vegetarian dishes together and adds a handful of vermicelli.
Tian Yuzhu, who was lying on the bed watching TV, suddenly felt a buzzing sound in her head.
It was as if a heat wave suddenly came from somewhere, making her feel stuffy and uncomfortable all over.
At the same time, when she was stunned, she saw a dazzling fire in front of her eyes and a terrifying rumbling sound in her ears.
Did something explode?
The first thought that flashed through Tian Yuzhu's mind was that she turned around abruptly: "Zhentang..."
