It was some children setting off scattered small firecrackers.
The sounds rose and fell, creating a lively atmosphere.
The baby in Yingyue's belly heard the firecrackers and seemed to want to experience the excitement outside, so it moved quite vigorously inside her.
Before, I moved very carefully, but now my movements are very obvious.
Yingyue exclaimed and placed her hand on her stomach.
Do you also want to watch your older brothers and sisters set off firecrackers? Or do you want to set off firecrackers too?
She spoke softly to the baby in her belly.
In Huocheng, as he was peeling an apple, he heard his wife's voice coming in from outside.
Yingyue immediately showed him her belly.
Huo Cheng followed her hand and saw that his wife's belly had a small bump.
"They're bothering you again."
Huo Cheng felt a pang of tenderness in his heart, but he also felt sorry for his wife and worried that they might hurt her by kicking her.
"Um."
"I bet they really want to go out and have some fun."
Yingyue said with a serious expression.
"It's not that I want to go play, it's that the two babies want to go see what's going on."
If she hadn't explained it further, Huo Cheng might have believed that the baby really wanted to go play.
However, her additional explanation confirmed Huo Cheng's suspicion that it wasn't the little baby who wanted to play, but the big baby.
He found it both funny and frustrating.
"How about we eat the apple first, then go out and explore?"
A good man is one who spoils his wife endlessly.
For example, Huocheng is like that.
His wife wanted to go outside and see what was happening, and he couldn't refuse.
"OK!"
"Huo Cheng, you're such a good father!"
Yingyue praised him with a smile.
Huo Cheng smiled and kissed his wife's cheek. "I also want to be a good husband."
"Yes, you are a good husband, especially, especially good."
Yingyue is quite good at praising people.
Huo Cheng felt very comfortable being praised.
Yingyue took a few bites of the apple, then gave Huo Cheng a few bites, and they finished the apple together. Huo Cheng found a military overcoat for her to wear, and helped her slowly leave the house to go for a walk on the street.
Huo Qing and the others from next door also came out.
Just then, the snow stopped.
Many people went out after finishing their New Year's Eve dinner.
The children were running wildly in the streets and in the snow.
Huo Cheng held his wife tightly, not only to prevent her from falling, but also to protect her from being bumped by the running children.
Don't be fooled by Huo Cheng's gentle demeanor towards his wife.
But he's still quite scary in his everyday life.
With a cold face and tall stature, the children who had been running towards him with laughter and chatter immediately stopped laughing the moment they saw him.
They carefully moved to the side.
Not to mention making a sound, they even held their breath, walking sideways against the other side of the courtyard wall.
Yingyue and the others walked around outside for a while, then slowly headed home.
After the New Year, time seems to fly by.
In February, before the snow had melted, the girl next door gave birth to a big, healthy baby boy.
The eight-pound baby boy was really fat, and the mother suffered a lot during childbirth.
This broke Dou Chenfeng and his aunt's hearts.
Although Huo Cheng didn't say anything, he still traded two chickens and dozens of eggs with the fishing village and sent them to the neighboring village.
Aunt Dou felt very embarrassed when she saw the things her brother-in-law had brought.
"Xiao Qing's sister-in-law also needs nourishment at this time. Take these things back and let Ying Yue eat more."
Yingyue is a twin.
Unlike Huo Qing's singleton pregnancy, twins don't give birth until ten months into the pregnancy.
After Yingyue is eight months pregnant, she could give birth at any time.
Aunt Dou told Huo Cheng to prepare more food at home, so that if Yingyue suddenly went into labor, there would be something to nourish her body.
Huo Cheng told Aunt Dou not to worry.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I've already spoken with the villagers and the logistics department. They'll send us some more in a couple of days."
Huo Cheng had barely finished speaking when someone outside called him, telling him to go to the train station to pick someone up.
"Pick someone up?"
Huo Cheng asked, somewhat puzzled, "Who are you picking up?"
"They said your aunt has arrived and they want you to go pick her up."
"My mom?"
Huo Cheng looked puzzled. "I didn't hear that Mom was coming."
Huo Qing, who was lying in bed, struggled to sit up after hearing her brother's words. "Brother, is Mom here?"
"Go pick her up quickly."
"I see."
Huo Cheng told his sister outside not to worry.
"I'll go right away."
"Hey, slow down, slow down."
Aunt Dou kept talking to Huo Cheng, "Come eat here when you get back, and we'll cook when Chenfeng gets back."
"Thank you, Auntie. Let's talk about it when we get back."
Huo Cheng, who hadn't received a call from his mother before, suddenly became nervous when she arrived.
I went back to my neighbor's house and told my wife that I was going to pick up my mother from the station.
Yingyue was also taken aback.
"Why did Mom come here? Did she come alone? Why didn't she tell us? What if she was targeted by bad guys on the way?"
"I'll go pick her up and we'll talk about it later. Yueyue, can you stay home for a while?"
"I'm fine, you go ahead."
She can just sleep at home.
Huo Cheng nodded, helped his wife to the toilet, then put her to bed before leaving the house.
TRAIN STATION.
Liu Qiuyue, carrying large and small bags, was waiting for her son at the station management office.
Huo Cheng rushed to the station and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Qiuyue standing there unharmed.
"Mom, why did you come over without saying a word? My dad didn't even call to tell me."
