Chapter 392 Retirement

He went to the island to handle the hospitalization and recuperation matters for Brigade Commander Wei.

One more thing...

Gu Cheng told Liu Yinyin: "I got some bird's nests from Big Swallow Island. I asked the doctor and he said it's good for pregnant women to eat."

Liu Yinyin: “…”

When I opened the bag, I found it was full of bird's nests, which looked of good quality.

Gu Cheng: "I will clean the bird's nest tomorrow. From now on, you can cook some for me every day. After you finish eating, I will go to the island to get more."

If you want to eat bird's nests, you have to hurry up. More and more troops know that there are wild bird's nests on Dayanzi Island.

Some people even choose to receive treatment on Big Swallow Island because of its reputation.

Brigade Commander Wei was one of them.

Gu Cheng thought about buying some more bird's nests and putting them in the bowl so that Liu Yinyin could eat them during her pregnancy and confinement.

The next day, Liu Yinyin rested at home.

Around noon, Mrs. Liu came and gave Liu Yinyin a rabbit and a pigeon, both alive.

There are also two pounds of fresh donkey meat.

It was the last big fair before the sea ban period, and a lot of people gathered.

Most people wanted to exchange some food to store at home.

In the morning, Liu Yinyin gave Liu Ersao 20 kilograms of white flour...

Mrs. Liu said happily, "Little sister, there are quite a lot of people selling meat in the market today, including geese and ducks. How about I buy you two more geese?"

Goose has a lot of meat, one goose can weigh more than ten pounds.

Liu Yinyin shook her head: "No need to buy Second Sister-in-law, I exchanged two ducks with Aunt Wang from the supply and marketing cooperative, and she will deliver them to me today."

Two ducks, plus a rabbit and a pigeon that Mrs. Liu bought today.

It’s really delicious.

There is no room at home to keep so many little things, so I will have to buy a few more wooden cages.

Mrs. Liu said immediately, "Okay, I'll buy you some vegetarian dishes later."

I also want to buy a big goose, but I buy it for Zheng Qiangwei because she also likes to eat meat.

In addition to ducks, rabbits and pigeons, Mrs. Liu also bought a bundle of lettuce, a bundle of yams, two large cabbages and a basket of green leafy vegetables for Liu Yinyin.

This season is still in the period of shortage of vegetables, so there are not many vegetables available.

In the afternoon, Aunt Wang also came to Liu Yinyin's house.

I gave Liu Yinyin two fat ducks, a basket of duck eggs, and a bucket of fresh seafood.

After dinner in the evening, Gu Cheng was busy making wooden cages in the yard.

We bought a lot of meat and poultry at home and we couldn’t finish them in a short time.

First, raise the rabbits and pigeons in cages.

Bird's nest was stewing on the stove in the kitchen. Liu Yinyin put some red dates and milk in it to make it suitable for pregnant women.

She has a good appetite and will have another meal before going to bed.

Otherwise I won't be able to sleep well at night...

Liu Yinyin subconsciously touched her belly. She had been eating so much in just two months. It was inevitable that she would gain weight.

She had no choice but to eat, so Liu Yinyin could only try to eat less and have frequent meals.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another two months have passed.

"Yinyin, is your belly a little big?" Aunt Wang was a little worried when she saw Liu Yinyin coming to work with a bulging belly.

She had lived for most of her life and could tell at a glance that Liu Yinyin was about four months pregnant, but her belly was the same as that of other women who were five or six months pregnant.

Liu Yinyin was also a little puzzled: "Maybe I've been eating too much recently."

This pregnancy of hers is indeed a little different from the one she had with Gu Yanyan.

Her belly has grown a lot and her appetite is very good. She tries to control her food intake as much as possible for fear of gaining weight.

It's strange to say, only her belly was bigger, the rest of her body was the same as before.

Her physical condition is also very good, otherwise, Liu Yinyin would not be able to insist on going to work.

However, her belly was indeed a little bigger.

It was similar to Huang Xiaoyue’s situation at that time.

Liu Yinyin is thinking about going to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. The last time she went for a check-up, the doctor said there was nothing wrong with her body.

As for whether she is pregnant with twins, it is too early to be detected.

"That makes sense." Aunt Wang thought that Liu Yinyin's family was well-off.

I eat a lot of pork and bird's nest on a daily basis, so it's normal for my belly to be a little bigger.

After get off work, Liu Yinyin went to Zheng Qiangwei's house. Zheng Qiangwei was more than nine months pregnant and was about to give birth.

"I just want him to come out soon." Zheng Qiangwei pointed at her belly with one finger.

"It's so painful. I can't sleep well at night."

Zheng Qianwei has been troubled by her children recently. She can’t sleep well or eat well.

Fortunately, she doesn't have to go to work, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to bear it.

Zheng Yanwei took a look at Liu Yinyin's belly and said, "I see your belly is almost as big as seaweed. Are you pregnant with twins?"

Liu Yinyin shook her head: "I don't know either. I'll go to the health center for a checkup tomorrow."

A group of military doctors came to the army some time ago to take care of the soldiers' families, as well as several gynecologists.

"I envy you so much."

Zheng Qiangwei had a very hard time carrying this baby. From the second or third month until now, she has had various health problems.

Liu Yinyin is different. She eats well, sleeps well, and has the energy to go to work at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Moreover, she might be pregnant with twins.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "I would rather have only one child."

This is true. At that time, medical technology was not well developed and having twins was too risky.

Liu Yinyin would rather take them one by one.

Skipping this topic, Liu Yinyin reminded Zheng Qiangwei: "Don't leave anyone around you during this period of time."

Zheng Qiangwei has not shown any signs of pelvic pain yet and cannot be hospitalized early.

Only someone can be left to watch over the patient, and if the patient shows any symptoms, he or she must be sent to the health center immediately.

Yang Yiming usually has to go on missions and cannot stay with Zheng Qiangwei all the time.

During this period, when Yang Yiming was not at home, Liu Ersao would come to look after Zheng Qiangwei.

If you really want to give birth, you can call someone to help.

Zheng Qiangwei naturally didn't dare to be careless about the birth of the child: "If Yiming is not at home, Sister Liu will sleep on the floor next to me."

The more her period progressed, the more trouble she caused to Liu Ersao. In the past two months, Zheng Qiangwei had been paid working wages.

With an increase of five yuan a month, Mrs. Liu now has thirty-three yuan a month.

It’s about the same as the salary of employees in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Not to mention that Zheng Jiangwei's family and her husband's family were all well off, Yang Yiming also made about a hundred yuan a month.

Thirty-three yuan salary is totally affordable.

Liu Yinyin worriedly asked, "Should we ask for help from another person?"

Zheng Qiangwei is about to give birth, and someone will definitely need to help her with the confinement period.

Mrs. Liu has to take care of a pregnant woman and help take care of the child all by herself, so she is definitely overwhelmed.

She herself has two children to take care of.

"No need." Zheng Qiangwei explained, "My mother-in-law will come to help in a few days."
