Unable to persuade Hua Xiuyun, Jiang Guofu could only turn to his son again, only to find that Jiang Jingzhou had the same troubles as him.
"Dad, can't you take Mom back to our hometown for Chinese New Year this year?"
Jiang Guofu was stunned, and subconsciously replied, "What?"
Jiang Jingzhou looked helpless. "Now my mom spends more time with Zhaoyue than I do with her, so there are many things that are inconvenient."
Jiang Guofu's lips twitched violently. "What's inconvenient about it? What kind of crazy idea are you up to, kid!"
He suddenly remembered what Hua Xiuyun had said: "Your wife is carrying twins right now. I don't care what you're up to, but if anything happens to my grandson, I'll skin you alive!"
"..." Jiang Jingzhou sighed helplessly. They were really overthinking things. Zhao Yue was heavily pregnant at the moment. What else could he possibly be thinking? He was worried so much every night that he couldn't sleep. He just wanted to spend quality time with Zhao Yue.
Jiang Guofu didn't say what he was about to say. Well, he really wasn't comfortable leaving the young couple alone at home. He should keep a close eye on them when necessary.
Lin Zhaoyue was naturally unaware of these things, and she was even less aware of Jiang Jingzhou's "troubles".
My belly was in the second trimester, and I was carrying twins, so it was noticeably larger than other pregnant women in the same month.
Every night, Lin Zhaoyue would check her stomach to see if she had developed stretch marks.
She had heard that stretch marks would appear on the belly during pregnancy.
Stretch marks are especially likely to occur when pregnant with twins.
With her belly round and plump, Jiang Jingzhou returned to the room and saw Zhao Yue's adorable appearance, his thin lips unconsciously pursing tightly.
"You've come at the perfect time,"
Lin Zhaoyue couldn't see below her stomach. "Could you check if I have any stretch marks?"
What kind of pattern?
Jiang Jingzhou didn't quite understand.
Lin Zhaoyue explained to him that everyone experiences anxiety about their body shape and appearance. She saw her own body becoming increasingly out of shape, and she felt a little lost, which made her unable to control her emotions.
“No, not a single one…” Jiang Jingzhou held Lin Zhaoyue’s hand tightly, looking at her with deep affection. “Whether you have wrinkles or not, I don’t care. Don’t worry about these things, okay?”
"Progesterone is really too powerful." During the first three months of her pregnancy, Lin Zhaoyue thought she might be an "isolated case" or a "chosen one" who would never experience the problems that other pregnant women go through. But now, these problems are slowly starting to appear.
"..." Jiang Jingzhou didn't know how to comfort her. He would rather he were the one to bear the suffering that Lin Zhaoyue had endured.
Lin Zhaoyue didn't sleep well at all last night, and her complexion was terrible when she woke up the next day.
Jiang Jingzhou went out after finishing his meal and didn't come back for lunch.
Now that the military is on leave, what will he be busy with?
Lin Zhaoyue couldn't help but let her mind wander. Hua Xiuyun asked her what was wrong.
Lin Zhaoyue noticed that her mother-in-law had also given birth, and it seemed that she was alright.
Having never had a mother to confide in since childhood, Lin Zhaoyue thought about it and decided to tell her mother-in-law about her concerns.
Hua Xiuyun smiled after listening, "What you said is all perfectly normal. Not only do you have to go through changes in your figure and become less attractive, but you may also experience changes during your postpartum period. Zhaoyue, you don't need to worry about these things. You are a great contributor to the Zhou family by giving birth to two children. Who would dislike you?"
Women face the life-or-death struggle of childbirth, and Hua Xiuyun believes that we should be grateful to those who are willing to risk their lives to give birth.
As for the others,
Hua Xiuyun paused for a moment, then said, "If you're worried about losing your figure, we can get back in shape through exercise. If you become ugly, Mom will give you money for beauty treatments so you can dress yourself up beautifully."
"Mom, what I want to ask is, why do you seem to have not changed at all?"
“Yes, but you can’t see those changes in me, and you don’t know what I used to look like.” Hua Xiuyun said earnestly, “There are losses as well as gains. I am still very proud to have given birth to a son like Jingzhou. Similarly, Zhaoyue, when you give birth to your children in the future, you will also find them very cute, and all the suffering you have endured will have been worth it!”
Lin Zhaoyue also wanted to have two blood relatives.
After sharing all her thoughts and worries with her mother-in-law, she felt much better.
At least they won't get stuck on this point.
The more you can't figure it out, the more of a headache you'll get.
"I think you've been cooped up at home for too long. How about we go to the department store this afternoon?"
Hua Xiuyun suggested, "We should buy you some new clothes to change your mood."
"Mom, I'm not going."
Jiang Jingzhou's voice suddenly came from outside. He carried large and small bags of things into the house, and his tone was a little tired. "This year, I plan to take Zhaoyue back to the countryside for the New Year. You and Dad can go to the old house to spend the New Year with Grandpa!"
Jiang Jingzhou went out this morning and bought a lot of New Year's goods.
He noticed that Lin Zhaoyue was in a bad mood.
I thought about it all night and realized that maybe I would feel better if she went home.
We used to celebrate the Lunar New Year with our families, but this year is a special case.
Jiang Jingzhou didn't want her to be unhappy.
Pregnancy is hard enough as it is, but if you're also unhappy, it feels like an eternity.
Hua Xiuyun was stunned. "When did you discuss this with me?"
It's not that it's preventing the two of them from going back.
That's the daughter-in-law's family home; she can go back whenever she wants.
There's no need to report anything to her.
The key issue is that Zhaoyue is pregnant and cannot go out!
Hua Xiuyun was quite worried about her last trip out.
I can't eat or sleep well every day, and all I can think about is Zhaoyue.
They still have to go back to their hometown during the Spring Festival, and Hua Xiuyun feels that she won't be able to have a good Spring Festival.
"Is it inconvenient for me to go back now?"
Lin Zhaoyue was also worried about the children.
Her dad said,
Now that I'm a mother, I have to think about the baby in my belly.
Long train journeys will definitely affect children.
Lin Zhaoyue shook her head, "I'm not going. I'll just call my dad during the Chinese New Year."
“But I don’t think you’re happy living here at all.” Jiang Jingzhou frowned. “I was thinking that you might be happier if you could see your father.”
"Yes, I'm happy to see my dad, but he'll definitely be unhappy if he knows I went back."
Lin Zhaoyue was unwilling to do any more dangerous things that would worry her father.
As long as she's doing well in Beijing, her father will be doing well too.
"I'm not going back. I'll go back with the baby after I give birth!"
Lin Zhaoyue curled the corners of her lips, "Hurry up and put these things in the refrigerator. It's too hot in the house, they'll spoil if you leave them there."
Seeing that she insisted, Jiang Jingzhou did not mention going back again.
Hua Xiuyun also spoke ill of Jiang Jingzhou in private!
"Zhaoyue is in her second trimester now. The lives of the three of them are all tied together. You're simply brainless!"
