Zhang Hongmei handed Zhang Shouyi a storybook.
Zhang Hongmei didn't know if prenatal education was effective, but the baby in her belly was very active.
The couple's prenatal education routine was veered off-topic into Zhang Shouyi playing interactive games with the babies in his belly.
The next day, Zhang Hongmei was left alone at home again. Uncle Li took Liu Jingsong to school, and Aunt Li and the other two went to buy groceries. Only Lu Jing and the other two stayed at home with Zhang Hongmei.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Hongmei's baby is already five months along, and it's the end of April.
As the weather grew warmer, Zhang Hongmei's work was progressing smoothly. Roger McKen would come to give Zhang Hongmei a report every month, and they had acquired another car, a specially made one that Carlos had instructed Zhang Hongmei to have before he left.
"Hongmei, you'd better not leave. I'm scared to see you like this." Zhang Xingguo stood protectively by Zhang Hongmei's side like a mother hen.
"Dad, I'm fine. It's just that my belly looks big, but I'm still quite agile."
"I'm terrified. Su Chen, you two better keep a close eye on things."
"knew."
Now Zhang Hongmei walks around the yard every day and has not experienced any swelling. Aunt Yang and her husband strictly require Zhang Hongmei to follow the plan every day without any deviation.
"Why hasn't Han Mei come back yet?" Zhang Hongmei sent Han Mei out to pick up Song Zigan. He's a senior now and doesn't need to go to school to register, so he's been following behind Liu Jingze.
"It's okay as long as there's a pillar nearby; the train might just be delayed."
Little did they know that Han Mei had not only taken in Song Zigan, but also the old lady's family.
The two hours of exercise time in the morning does not mean two hours of non-stop exercise, but rather the total of all activities throughout the morning.
Aunt Yang brought over a bowl of bird's nest soup and a bowl of milk.
Zhang Hongmei no longer finds the swallows' saliva offensive; she has no choice but to eat it all day long and doesn't want to make herself uncomfortable.
Gu Chuanming is very busy right now. He and Zhang Xingguo make sure that one of them stays at home every day, otherwise they won't feel at ease.
It wasn't lunchtime yet, but Gu Chuanming actually went home, with Er Lengzi following behind him.
"Hey, you're on vacation today, aren't you?"
"Yes, I'm on vacation today. Your belly is so big, I'm worried you won't be able to carry it."
"What are you talking about? It just looks big, but I'm fine. I don't feel too sad."
Er Lengzi took two wooden boxes out of the bag he had brought and handed them to Zhang Hongmei.
"I have to go to my post in another city and won't be able to see my nephew. This is a gift I prepared for you. Please accept it on their behalf. I'll come back to see you if time allows."
"Okay, go ahead. I was wondering why you came today. I hope there won't be any danger later."
"Hehe. How could that be?"
"Hey, you simpleton, when are you leaving?"
"I've already bought the train tickets for tomorrow."
"Oh, is that so? Have you tidied up your office?"
"Everything is settled. I'll stay at home tonight and take the train from here tomorrow morning."
Hearing the chaotic footsteps outside, Er Lengzi and Su Chen both stood up.
"Hongmei!" Hearing the call from outside, Zhang Hongmei was startled for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.
"Grandma?" he said, and then stood up as well.
At this moment, the group entered the living room.
"Great-Grandma, Great-Grandma, is it really you? Why didn't you call me before you arrived?"
The old lady was in very good spirits; you couldn't tell she had just gotten off the train.
"We can come by ourselves, why would we call you?"
"Grandpa and Grandma, please sit down quickly."
Han Mei, please ask my grandfather and father to come over.
"Why are you worrying about this?" The old lady took Hongmei's hand, and the two sat down together.
"Grandma, have all the weddings for my older brothers and sisters been arranged?"
"Yes, it's all taken care of." Judging from the old lady's tone, she didn't seem to care too much. Perhaps their departure had upset her, so she didn't ask any more questions.
"Grandma." Er Lengzi grinned and moved closer to the old lady.
"You brat, I'm giving you a year to bring your wife back to me, or else? Humph!"
"Grandma, please spare me! How can I have time to find a wife? Why don't you introduce me to someone? I'd even accept an ugly one."
"Get lost! Who has time to manage you? I'm waiting for my great-grandchildren. Figure it out yourself. Let me make this clear: looks don't matter, but if you dare bring back someone who doesn't know anything, I'll break your legs."
"Of course, of course. Let me show it to you first. What do you think of Su Chen?"
No one expected Er Lengzi to suddenly say that; everyone in the living room was stunned. They were clearly very surprised by what he had just said.
Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo also rushed over. The living room then returned to its lively state.
Zhang Hongmei secretly glanced at Su Chen. The girl's face was still the same, and Er Lengzi didn't have any special expression either.
She noticed that Zhang Hongmei was looking at her and grinning at her.
She rolled her eyes at him, annoyed; he was still so unreliable.
"Grandma, why don't you just stay at home? It's a big place, there's plenty of room."
"Okay. But we still need to tidy up the house."
Zhang Hongmei was unusually happy today. She didn't know why, but she just felt more at ease. Could it be because her family had come to visit?
Hu Aifen kept looking at Zhang Hongmei's belly. "Hongmei, you're five months along now, you need to move around more."
"Yes, I have two hours of activity time every day. Auntie, I'm in good health now. Brother Zhang, Grandpa, and Dad all had traditional Chinese medicine doctors come back to check my pulse."
"As long as you're healthy, that's good. I can tell from your complexion that you're in good health."
Aunt Li came over to call everyone to start the meal, and then everyone went into the dining room together.
After dinner, the men went to chat in the living room. The women accompanied Zhang Hongmei for a walk in the yard. The temperature was just right, and the midday sun was shining brightly, making it particularly comfortable.
"Grandma, I can't even walk as fast as you anymore."
"Hehe. You might not be able to walk as fast as me either. Alright, we just finished eating, so don't move around for too long. Go back to your room and rest."
"Okay, let's all go to my room together, the four of us."
Zhang Hongmei really felt she had so much to say, but she was usually alone and couldn't really chat with Lu Jing and the others.
Now that all three elders in my family have come, I'm naturally very happy.
"Lu Jing, please arrange the guest rooms, and then please ask Grandpa and Uncle to go and rest."
"yes."
"Grandma, let me tell you, I'm so bored right now, and you guys have finally come to keep me company."
"I'll stay with you, and I'll nag you all the time from now on!"
"I'd like to!"
