Chapter 409 Triplets?
Liu Yinyin was free at home, so she packed up the things she had prepared for the children.
Clothes, pants, cotton-padded jackets and quilts, diapers and so on.
When I go back to Qing City, I will take it with me.
Just after finishing the cleaning, Jiang Cuihua came back with her things on her back.
"Mom, there are so many people gathering on the island. It's even more lively than the big fairs in the countryside."
The most important thing is that there are many people selling food in the market.
In this season, there are all kinds of snacks, grains, fruits and vegetables.
If Liu Yinyin hadn't had the inconvenience of having a big belly, she would have gone to join in the fun.
"Mom, what did you buy?"
"Are you hungry? I bought you a portion of red bean glutinous rice cakes. Try it."
Liu Yinyin now eats small but frequent meals, five meals a day.
Jiang Cuihua deliberately brought an extra lunch box with her when she went out in the morning, thinking of going to the market to exchange some delicious food for her daughter.
There was a lunch box full of glutinous rice balls, and Liu Yinyin called Gu Yanyan to eat together.
Jiang Cuihua is packing up the things she got at the market.
Except for a portion of glutinous rice balls, the rest were just some grains.
There are white flour, cornmeal, millet and so on.
I changed it to a big bag, weighing almost 50 kilograms.
After packing up her things, Jiang Cuihua was thinking about going to the market to exchange some more things.
Liu Yinyin reminded her, "Mom, we have enough food at home. We will be living in Qing City in a while. You can't take so many things with you. If they go bad later, it will be a waste."
Of course, you can also send it back to your hometown, but the shipping cost is actually not cheap.
By then, I will be alone at home and probably won’t be able to cook.
Jiang Cuihua thought about it and realized that this trip to Qing City didn’t make her aware when she would be able to return.
Jiang Cuihua said, "Then I won't exchange food for it. I'll exchange it for some dishes to eat."
Otherwise, you have to spend money to buy vegetables at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Liu Yinyin: “…”
Jiang Cuihua lived on the island for about a month and took good care of the vegetables grown in several wooden boxes at home.
On weekdays, I often go to the sea.
In fact, I didn’t spend any money on groceries this month.
The scale of this market on the island is really big.
Jiang Cuihua exchanged for a bag of tomatoes, a bag of eggplants, a handful of beans, a few loofahs, and two ducks.
If Liu Yinyin hadn't stopped her, she wouldn't have stopped.
At noon, Jiang Cuihua made braised eggplant, braised potatoes with beans, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Liu Yinyin ate with a voracious appetite.
Jiang Cuihua was the same: "There are other things not so good in the countryside, but it is still quite convenient to eat vegetables."
Every household in the countryside has its own private plot of land, where they can grow whatever vegetables they want to eat.
Unlike on the island, it is not convenient to grow vegetables. If you want to eat eggplant or beans, you have to see if the supply and marketing cooperative sells them.
Liu Yinyin: "There are pros and cons."
It is inconvenient to eat vegetables on the island, but you can still eat fish and shrimp if you want.
That night, Gu Chengcheng told Liu Yinyin.
"I'm not busy these days, why don't I go to Qing City?"
"Okay, let's go the day after tomorrow." Liu Yinyin doesn't have a job now and is free at any time.
The same goes for Gu Yanyan. The nursery does not have winter or summer vacations, so if something happens, you can take leave at any time.
Tell Jiang Cuihua tomorrow to pack her things first so she doesn't have to rush when she takes them with her.
Gu Cheng nodded: "When we get to Qing City, shall we go to the hospital for a checkup first?"
Liu Yinyin touched her belly and said, "Okay."
There was nothing abnormal about her body except her big belly, but it would be more reassuring to have a check-up.
The next day, Liu Yinyin told Jiang Cuihua about going to Qing City.
Jiang Cuihua was very seasick, and Liu Yinyin had mentioned to her before that she should not go this time.
Jiang Cuihua did not agree. The three members of her family had all left, and she could not stay on the island alone.
Jiang Cuihua went to pack her things.
Liu Yinyin went next door.
I don’t know if I can get back the day after tomorrow, but that’s not a big deal.
There are ten hens, five big and five small, and two ducks at home, and someone needs help feeding them.
Liu Yinyin told Liu Ersao that she would go to Qing City the day after tomorrow and asked her to help feed the chickens and ducks at home.
Feeding the chickens and ducks is not troublesome, it is just a matter of convenience. Besides, it is next door and you can go there anytime.
Mrs. Liu: "Don't worry, I'll visit your house when I'm free."
There are a lot of things I need to bring with me when I go back to Qing City this time.
In addition to clothes for the twins, there are also some daily necessities.
Enamel basins, enamel cups, thermoses, military kettles, etc.
They are all new. Some were bought by Liu Yinyin at the supply and marketing cooperative, and some were smuggled out of the system by her.
We have some saved up at home.
Take it to Qingshi to use, so you don’t have to buy it again.
Early that morning, after breakfast, the group boarded the passenger ship to Qing City.
Even though I took seasickness medicine in advance.
On the way, Jiang Cuihua vomited.
Gu Cheng couldn't help but ask Liu Yinyin: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Liu Yinyin is a pregnant woman. If she feels unwell, she can't even take seasickness medicine.
Liu Yinyin shook her head slightly: "It's okay."
A little dizzy, but not a big deal.
After the boat arrived at the dock, several people had lunch at a nearby state-owned hotel and rested for a while before heading to the hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital, I went to the obstetrics and gynecology department for a check-up.
The staff at the hospital saw her big belly and thought that Liu Yinyin was about to give birth.
Liu Yinyin explained: "I'm only seven months pregnant. I had a checkup at the hospital before and they said I was pregnant with twins. I wanted to have another checkup to see if I can have two babies."
The female doctor was surprised: "Twins? No wonder..."
For a normal pregnant woman, her belly will usually become as big as Liu Yinyin’s when she is about to give birth.
At that time, there was no B-ultrasound, so we could only judge the condition of the fetus by listening to the fetal sounds through a stethoscope.
This is not the first time Liu Yinyin has done this examination, but...
This time the female doctor examined me for a long time. She didn't say anything for a long time and had a serious expression on her face.
Liu Yinyin asked worriedly, "Doctor, is there any problem?"
The female doctor said in disbelief: "Yes, there is a problem. It's a big problem."
Liu Yinyin was nervous: "Doctor, what happened to the baby in my belly?"
Apart from some basic reactions of a pregnant woman, there were no other abnormalities in Liu Yinyin's body.
On the island, we also go to the health center for a checkup every once in a while.
After several examinations, the doctor did not say there was any problem with the baby in her belly.
Could it be that it was not detected?
"Don't be nervous. It's not a bad thing." The female doctor comforted her. "I just listened several times. There should be three fetal sounds in your stomach."
Liu Yinyin's body froze. "...Three fetal sounds, doctor, do you mean I'm carrying triplets?"
The female doctor nodded: "It's likely that it is."
Liu Yinyin: “…”
The problem is indeed a bit serious, triplets...it's difficult to have twins at this time.
