Chapter 141 Chapter 141 It’s true!
In the bedroom.
Mu Mian's hand subconsciously moved to her belly. She really forgot and didn't notice it at all.
If you count carefully, it has been two weeks.
Her menstrual period was very regular every month except for the first few years when it was a little irregular because she was still growing and her hormone levels were unstable.
Especially in the past two or three years, although it is not as accurate as that day every month, it is almost the same, with a difference of only two or three days at most. The situation of not having a period for half a month has never happened.
Wen Zhan rubbed his head against the crook of his wife's neck, trying to calm down the anger that had arisen from his own self-inflicted suffering.
The couple was still hugging each other. Mu Mian was a little excited and moved in Wen Chen's arms. His tone was happy and a little dazed, "The baby is coming soon?"
Although she had been prepared to be a mother for a long time, the feeling was different after she realized that she might really get pregnant.
Wen Chen moved his head to the pillow, and their eyes met. His narrow eyes were full of smiles. "Nine times out of ten, we should go to the hospital when we have time."
Mu Mian was still touching her belly, smiling, "I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."
Wen Chen also reached out and said in a serious tone, "After my careful calculations, there should be a 50% chance that it's a girl."
Mu Mian was overjoyed and cooperated very well, "You can even figure this out, then you are quite amazing."
The two joked and laughed for a while.
Mu Mian turned over, stared at Wen Chen, and moved his hand on his fourth brother's nose, "It would be better if his nose is more like yours."
Her fourth brother has a nice nose and a very straight nose bridge.
Wen Chen: "The eyes should look like yours."
Mu Mian blinked his eyes, "That's really possible. I hope his skin will be like mine. It's better for the little kid to be fair and white."
The first night of 1975 was spent in such idle chatter, and all the couple talked about before going to bed was their children.
Even though it hasn't been confirmed yet, the two of them have already started chatting and arranging the house for their child when he grows up.
The next day, the sky was a little cloudy and it was chilly outside.
In front of her family, Mu Mian couldn't hide anything and blurted out the fact that she was suspected to be pregnant.
Except for Xixi, everyone else was happy but not that surprised.
That's right, the young couple are in good health and have been married for nearly half a year, so it's only a matter of time before they get pregnant.
The little girl didn’t know much, she didn’t even know how babies come. She touched Mu Mian’s belly excitedly, “Wow~ There’s a baby in my belly too?! I’m going to have a brother or sister again!”
It’s true, this little girl actually asked her mother how babies came about in the early stages of Nie Sihui’s pregnancy. When did it get into the stomach?
And he asked this question in front of the whole family during dinner time.
How can I describe the scene? It was a bit awkward at one point. The little girl's innocent words successfully choked several adults. There was a lot of coughing at the dinner table.
In the end, it was the little girl's father, the teleporter, who fooled the kid with a sentence "I'll come when I want to."
At this moment, Mu Mian was not pulled by the little girl to ask how the baby came about. Her brother and sister-in-law had already experienced that embarrassing situation for her.
Mu Fugui laughed heartily, "Hahahaha, okay, okay, after dinner, Dad will take you to the hospital."
Liu Shuangcui glanced at her man and said, "Why are you going today? Let's wait a few days and go when it's warmer."
According to her daughter, the baby is still young, and if she goes at this time, the doctor may not be sure.
Mu Fugui changed his tone and said to Mu Mian, "Listen to your mother."
Mu Mian laughed out loud, "Okay!"
Xixi transformed into the hardworking little bee again, pulling Mu Mian to sit down, "Auntie, please sit down. Do you want some malted milk? I'll make it for you!"
Nie Sihui, with her big belly, said with a smile: "You want to drink, right?"
Xixi's face was puffed up after being exposed, and she acted like a little adult, "Hey, who are we, my aunt? There's no difference between yours and mine!"
Mu Mian hugged the little girl and moved her, "Okay, go ahead."
Xixi was happy, "Great, let's have a bowl each!"
After drinking a bowl of hot malted milk, I felt much warmer.
After breakfast, some go home to school, and some go to work.
Mu Mian didn't go out, mainly because it was really cold outside. Although it had stopped snowing, the wet mud on the road was frozen and very slippery.
The fact that she was suspected of being pregnant had little impact on Mu Mian's daily life, mainly because she didn't feel anything at all.
The comic strip "Little Magpie" has entered the final stage. Mu Mian sits in the house every day writing and drawing, just like last month, and occasionally puts some food from her mother and grandmother in her mouth.
In the blink of an eye, more than a week passed.
The comic strip of "Little Magpie" was completed, but Mu Mian's period still hadn't come.
January 10, 1975 was a Sunday.
The weather is very good today. The sun is shining outside and there is no wind. There are many little kids running and playing downstairs, looking very happy.
I finished my final exams in elementary school yesterday and the winter vacation officially started. The report cards haven’t been issued yet, but isn’t that a great pleasure?
After today is over, some of the kids probably won’t be happy tomorrow, and they may even have to wait for adults to cook fried pork on a bamboo board.
In addition to the little kids, there were also quite a few adults sitting downstairs, basking in the sun and chatting, while sewing and mending their clothes.
Winter in the south is like this. If you don’t burn the stove at home, it will be colder inside than outside.
Nie Sihui and the old lady were also sitting downstairs, along with Liao Qiutong and her mother-in-law Chen Gulan from Room 302 upstairs. It was a windless and sunny day, so it was perfect for taking babies a few months old out to get some sun.
Comrade Mu Zhuo and Mu Fugui went to the city to buy some food and daily necessities, and went to the post office to help Mu Mian send the manuscript to the Shanghai Film Studio.
The base's message room is only responsible for receiving mail. If anyone in the compound wants to send something, they still have to go to the post office themselves.
Of course, Mu Mian also had something important to do, so he planned to go to the hospital to see a doctor.
Although there was a high probability that the baby had indeed taken up residence in her belly, it would still be safer to see a doctor.
Liu Shuangcui and Wen Chen were accompanying them, and they were not far away. The three of them walked slowly all the way to the hospital.
Doctor Zhang had a medical appointment today, so Mu Mian naturally chose to let old doctor Zhang see him. After all, he was an old Chinese doctor and was very accurate in taking pulses.
There are machines that can take pictures, but the results are slow and it takes half a day to get the film.
There weren't many people in the hospital today, and it was soon Mu Mian's turn.
A few minutes later, the three received a positive answer that she was indeed pregnant and there was nothing wrong with her pregnancy appearance.
Doctor Zhang's original words were that the little girl was as healthy and strong as a calf. She just needed to eat and drink normally and be careful not to do heavy physical work, and the fetus would be fine.
After coming out of the clinic, Liu Shuangcui seemed to remember something and smiled at Wen Zhen: "I forgot about it. Should I tell my mother-in-law and the others about the good news?"
Mu Mian: "Yes, I have to tell mom and the others."
Wen Chen: "I'll call my second brother tomorrow when I get to work."
The three of them talked all the way, and not long after they got home, Mu Fugui and his son also came back. Because they had to catch the bus, they left home early and came back early too.
As gay men, when they buy things, they go straight to the destination and don’t wander around much. They focus on making quick decisions.
Mu Fugui looked at his daughter and asked in a loud voice, "How is it? What did the doctor say?"
Xixi took over the conversation, "My aunt has a baby!"
Mu Fugui immediately smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. In the afternoon, he went out again and visited the team below.
He was a naturally familiar person and had been getting along quite well with some of the villagers in the past few months. After going out for a while, he came back with an old hen in his bag, which he had exchanged with a villager.
There are two pregnant women at home, so they need to supplement their diet more.
The next day, after the two went out for work, Xixi went to school to get the transcript of her final exam.
There was no class, so Xixi came back early. As soon as she entered the room, she stuffed the test paper into Nie Sihui's arms and said, "Look, Mom, I got first place this time. I did better than in the midterm exam."
Nie Sihui took it and looked at it. "Oh, full marks."
Xixi was very proud. "I am the only one in the class who got 100 points. The class monitor got 100 points in math, but only 99 points in Chinese."
The little girl was very competitive. During the midterm exam, she made a mistake in her writing and lost one point compared to the class monitor, so she did not get first place.
Mu Mian also took it and took a look at it, and he started praising the little girl so much that he almost lost his mind.
Today's home
The courtyard is destined to be lively.
There are students like Xixi who did better than the last time, but there are naturally some who did worse. Some kids are very clever, like secretly changing their grades, or claiming that they accidentally lost the test paper along the way. This is common.
Originally, most of the teachers in primary schools were wives of military personnel. Once the parents asked questions, the little tricks of the kids were immediately exposed.
In just one morning, Mu Mian saw twice from the window an adult chasing a child with a stick and beating him. The child ran so fast that his mother couldn't catch up with him at all.
I just don’t know if I can be tough enough to not go home when it’s time to eat.
After the students’ winter vacation began, the Spring Festival slowly entered the countdown.
There were still a lot of things to do before the New Year, and the old lady prepared a lot of things for the family, which Mu Fugui sent back to the brigade at once.
This is the first time that they are not spending the New Year in the brigade, and they miss it a lot.
At the same time, she also received a lot of things, including useful goods sent by Mu Mian's fourth uncle and younger uncle, and various things sent by Wen Zhen's mother, for Mu Mian and for the unborn baby.
This year’s Spring Festival is in early February of the Gregorian calendar. A month is not a long time, but with all the busyness, half a month has passed.
The happiest thing during this period was...
Mu Mian received the royalties!
There are "Little Magpie" and "Little Ya and Friends", which together total more than 700 yuan, of which "Little Ya and Friends" accounts for the majority.
After taking out the money, Mu Mian counted the big unity bills at home and smiled.
You know, it’s only been more than three months since the release of "Xiao Ya and Friends", which means... there will be a lot of money to come!
This book of hers is really popular!
And strictly speaking, it took her less than half a year to finish the two books, which means on average she made more than one hundred yuan a month, which makes her a definitely high-income earner, and that doesn't even include the subsequent share of the profits.
Although we don’t know how much there will be in the future, what is certain is that it will not be lower than it is now.
Mu Mian, with a bulging wallet, said proudly that she would buy more New Year goods. She wanted to buy a lot as she had money. Unfortunately, as a pregnant woman, she could not squeeze into the crowd, but the several men in the family could squeeze in.
After the family finished shopping, New Year's Eve arrived in the blink of an eye.
