After returning home, Su Lu got busy. First, he went to the Qin family to inform Old Madam Qin, Qin Aiguo, and Qin Xiaoxiao that Qin Xiaoxiao was pregnant with twins. Then he went to the Su family to tell Su Zhiyuan and Wan Guihua the news.
Although his relationship with the Su family wasn't very good, they were still the child's grandparents, so he couldn't be silent when necessary, lest people talk about it later.
Back at the educated youth settlement, Su Lu started scribbling on paper again. Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at him, twitched her lips, and didn't say anything, letting him do as he pleased.
The list on the paper is all the things I need to buy.
He needs two bolts of the finest cotton cloth for making the baby's undergarments, and he needs to prepare a lot more red diapers, about a hundred for now. He also needs to prepare even more cotton diaper rings, as he can't bear to let his wife wash the baby's diaper rings. He plans to throw them away as soon as they get soiled, or he'll wash them when he gets home from get off work.
Then you also need to prepare formula and bottles. Prepare as much formula as you have, and make sure you have enough space for extras. Prepare at least four bottles, one for milk and one for water.
Qin Xiaoxiao's nutritional supplements are indispensable; malted milk powder and milk powder are a must, and it would be even better if she could get bird's nest or something similar.
I can check next time I go to Beijing and ask someone if I can get my hands on one.
There's also seafood. I heard that you can't eat crabs, but you can eat a little of other seafood. You can't have too little variety when it comes to nutrition.
The remaining items include a crib, small blankets, mattresses, pillows, socks, and shoes. The baby won't be able to wear them right after birth, but they can wear them in a few days. What if the child is exceptionally gifted and walks early? Preparing for that later won't be enough!
Su Lu spent three hours drawing and sketching, even drawing the design of a crib. The whole sheet of paper was filled with writing, front and back. Only then did Su Lu show it to Qin Xiaoxiao with satisfaction.
Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at it and nodded, "That's about it. You've thought of everything. Let's leave it at that. There's still a long way to go before the birth date. Fill it in again if you remember anything else."
Su Lu looked at the paper in his hand and finally felt somewhat relieved, then lowered his head and continued writing.
Qin Xiaoxiao leaned closer for another glance, and wow, this guy even figured out the price.
Qin Xiaoxiao ignored him. She was already sleepy in the middle of the night and fell asleep before Su Lu finished writing.
In the days that followed, Qin Xiaoxiao lived the life of a little pig, eating and sleeping all the time. She couldn't even exercise outside the gate; she could only run around in circles in the small yard.
Su Lu is constantly trying to find ways to feed her, but it can't be too fancy; it has to be nutritious. He's almost gone bald from worrying about it.
Grandma Qin and Ma Dahua stopped going to the fields and came over every morning after Su Lu went to work. They would keep Qin Xiaoxiao company and cook for her, giving her a variety of dishes, such as big bones and fresh fish. Su Lu didn't dare to give her too much meat. Even so, Qin Xiaoxiao's belly grew bigger and bigger every day, making Su Lu sometimes very worried. He was afraid that one morning Qin Xiaoxiao's belly would explode when she woke up, which would be too scary.
Time flies, and it's October 1st in the blink of an eye. The whole country is celebrating, and the autumn harvest in Qinjiagou is more than halfway done. There is still a small portion of grain that has not been harvested, and the autumn vegetables will be ready for harvest soon. These days, Qin Feng has been keeping an eye on things in the fields all day long.
The fruit trees on the mountain were ready for harvest, and the medicinal herbs had also grown well. Apart from Qin Xiaoxiao, everyone in Qinjiagou was extremely busy. Even Old Mrs. Qin and Ma Dahua didn't have time to keep an eye on her all day. The two of them took turns watching over her with Su Yun to make sure she didn't sneak in any food and get pregnant.
On October 2nd, Zhou Ying and Huang Yuan, whom they hadn't seen for many days, reappeared. The two were noticeably more gloomy, and sometimes they looked at Qin Xiaoxiao as if she were their father's killer, fierce and as if they wanted to devour her alive.
Qin Xiaoxiao wasn't afraid of them at all. Every time she strolled around the door and saw the two of them, she would show a happy smile, which was so dazzling that it was hard for anyone to bear.
After Qin Xiaoxiao turned and went back into the house, Zhou Ying said to Huang Yuan beside her, "You saw it? She really doesn't care about you at all anymore."
Huang Yuan glared at Zhou Ying. "I know, I let go a long time ago."
Zhou Ying glanced at Huang Yuan disdainfully, "Why did you come if you let it go a long time ago?"
Huang Yuan snorted coldly, "I came here with you because I was afraid you would hurt her."
Zhou Ying gritted her teeth and laughed, "Even in my current state, how could I possibly hurt her?"
She injured her coccyx last time and stayed in the hospital for more than a month before being discharged. At the same time, her face was also disfigured. Now she avoids people in the village, afraid that people will see her face.
Moreover, her lower back would hurt on rainy days, and she couldn't do heavy work. Even bending over was difficult. It was probably because her previous injury hadn't fully healed, and then she had to do heavy work during the autumn harvest, which caused the problem.
Huang Yuan chuckled coldly, his sinister gaze fixed on Zhou Ying. "This is my last warning. Don't provoke her again, and don't drag me down with you. I'm already crippled because of you. If you still want to hurt her, let's get a divorce first."
Huang Yuan had long since given up on being with Zhou Ying, but Zhou Ying didn't want to let go, and there was nothing he could do.
Zhou Ying sneered, "Trying to shake me off? No way! Let me tell you, Huang Yuan, don't even think about leaving me until I've taken my revenge. If we're going to die, we'll all die together."
Huang Yuan stared intently at Zhou Ying's face. "Are you crazy! Qin Xiaoxiao isn't so easy to deal with. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in this situation now."
Zhou Ying chuckled coldly, her gaze fixed on Qin Xiaoxiao's front door. "That was before. Now she has a weakness, and as long as she has a weakness, she'll be easier to deal with. Anyway, I won't let her have her way."
Giving birth is dangerous. I heard she's carrying twins, and it's uncertain whether she'll be able to give birth at all. Even if she does, the babies might not survive.
Zhou Ying's eyes flashed with a cold light, her gaze like that of a venomous snake staring at Qin Xiaoxiao's front door, as if she wanted to stare it through and then kill Qin Xiaoxiao.
Huang Yuan didn't know what Zhou Ying was planning, but he knew that if he got involved with her again, he wouldn't have a good ending.
He wants a divorce, and he needs to find a way to get one.
Huang Yuan turned and ran away quickly, heading towards the county town.
Zhou Ying didn't care where he went; all she knew was that she had to find a way to kill Qin Xiaoxiao before she gave birth.
Qin Xiaoxiao has become her inner demon; she will never have peace of mind until Qin Xiaoxiao dies.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Ying glanced one last time at Qin Xiaoxiao's front door before leaving.
After she left, Qin Xiaoxiao straightened up, squinted her eyes, and touched her stomach.
Zhou Ying is still up to her old tricks!
In the past, she wouldn't have cared, but now it's different. She's pregnant and her hands and feet aren't very agile. If she really wanted to do something to her, there would be a certain degree of danger.
Therefore, she had to keep a close eye on Zhou Ying and could not be careless.
Qin Xiaoxiao planned to mention it to Su Lu when he returned from driving, and it would be best to have Qin Erzhu and Qin Ergou keep an eye on her when they had nothing to do.
