Yingyue is six months pregnant.
My sister's belly is eight months along.
However, because she was pregnant with twins, Yingyue's belly looked about the same size as her sister's.
If we really have to compare, it's probably like my sister is seven months pregnant.
Back then, when they learned that Yingyue was pregnant with twins, Huo Cheng, Huo Qing, and everyone else in the family were all shocked.
It's already tough for a normal person to have one pregnancy, so having twins is even tougher.
Therefore, Yingyue stopped going to work after four months.
Her tiny arms and legs, supporting a belly that looked like an inflated balloon, were really frightening.
Huo Cheng was always worried about going to work at the camp every day.
Fortunately, my younger sister also rested, and my sister-in-law Liu Meiyu also rested at home to prepare for childbirth. The pregnant women had each other at home all day and did not go out.
Huo Cheng was finally able to relax.
Even so, he would rush home every day after get off work, afraid that something might happen to his wife at home.
He will need to take leave to stay home with his wife during the later stages of her pregnancy.
…………
“Brother, sister-in-law, don’t worry. Although our mother can’t come to take care of us, Feng’s mother is here. Dad will send her over after the New Year.”
The husband was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen, while Huo Qing, Huo Cheng, and Ying Yue were talking.
Huo Cheng's brows remained furrowed.
At this time, the family compound couldn't hire anyone to take care of her. There was no one from Yueyue's family, and her mother was the vice president of the hospital, so she couldn't leave because of all the hospital work.
Although Aunt Dou came over, she still had to take care of her younger sister and didn't have much time to look after Yueyue...
Huo Cheng was in a dilemma.
They racked their brains but couldn't find a solution.
"How about this, I'll call Mom and ask her to find someone to come over. We can tell everyone we're a relative, and they'll come to look after Yueyue?"
Seeing that her brother was frowning, Huo Qing tried to help him find a solution.
Huo Cheng looked at Ying Yue and asked for her opinion.
Yingyue had no objections.
She felt she could manage on her own at home, but Huo Cheng was worried, and so was Qingqing.
She should just follow whatever arrangements they make.
Huo Cheng lowered his eyes and reached out to squeeze his wife's hand.
"Don't you like having other people in your house?"
"Um……"
Yingyue definitely doesn't like it.
After she became pregnant, her appetite changed at first, then her temper changed, and now she has become increasingly stingy.
It's good that my sister and brother-in-law come to our house; after all, they're treated like family.
But if other people come over, she inexplicably gets the feeling that they're there to take over her territory.
This made her very uncomfortable.
Although she knew that this was the human world, and the concept of territorial disputes did not exist.
But she just didn't feel well.
It might be because her personality changed after she got pregnant.
Things that I could tolerate before, I can't tolerate now.
Huo Cheng understood.
He then rejected his sister's suggestion.
"Let's wait and see. I'll talk to my boss and see if I can take a long vacation."
If possible, he still wants to take care of his wife himself.
Huo Qing was only making a suggestion; since her brother and sister-in-law were unwilling, she could just pretend she hadn't said it.
Dou Chenfeng prepared the meal in the kitchen. The steaming hot food was ready to eat.
Huo Cheng went in to help.
The two pregnant women naturally sat still in the room, patiently waiting for their meal.
The New Year's Eve dinner was very lavish.
I stewed a whole chicken, braised pork belly, and then various kinds of seafood.
Yingyue can no longer go into the water to catch seafood. The seafood on their table was traded by Dou Chenfeng with the villagers in the fishing village.
In this freezing weather, it's not easy for others to sell their seafood.
Dou Chenfeng brought over two baskets.
Don't worry about not having enough to eat.
After the two families finished their New Year's Eve dinner together, snowflakes started falling again outside.
At this time last year, Yingyue was still at home in Nancheng, receiving lucky money and enjoying a warm Spring Festival.
This year, we spent the New Year on a snow-covered, frozen island.
"It's just Mom, Dad, and Grandpa at home. Should we call them?"
Yingyue asked Huo Cheng.
Huo Cheng told her to stay home, and he would make the call.
It was cold outside, and there was a thick layer of snow on the ground. With her belly so big, it was inconvenient for her to go out.
Yingyue was somewhat disappointed.
"Oh well."
"Then remember to say hello for me."
The little girl was very polite.
Even though I can't go home, I still need to make the phone calls I need to make.
We must not let our elders in the family feel disheartened.
Huo Cheng smiled and agreed.
"I'll also ask Grandpa, Grandma, and Mom and Dad if they've prepared red envelopes for Yueyue."
"I'm about to have a baby, isn't it inappropriate to accept a red envelope at this time?"
Although Yingyue really wanted to receive New Year's money, she also felt that she was about to become an elder herself.
It seems that elders don't have the custom of receiving lucky money!
Huo Cheng couldn't help but laugh at his wife's serious and troubled expression.
He took her home and asked if she needed to use the restroom.
Only after confirming that she wasn't going to the restroom did he go out to make a phone call.
Yingyue was sitting inside the house reading a book.
After her belly grew bigger, and with the arrival of winter and snow, she rarely went out.
Aside from walking around the house a bit, I just stay in my room reading comic books.
There is a special little box at home.
It was filled with comic books that Huo Cheng had bought for her.
