Chapter 102 Chapter 102 Fetal Movement
They said they wanted to arrange a marriage for Lingzhi, but Miao Ying knew in his heart that this was not that simple. If they really arranged a marriage for Lingzhi, Fu Lingyou would tear down their family the moment they went out to find a matchmaker.
The days passed slowly, and we slowly turned from autumn to winter. This year, we didn’t ask my family to make winter clothes for us, we bought them all.
Miao Ying's belly gradually became apparent. He looked at his belly, which looked like a beer belly, and felt a little magical. However, it still didn't feel real because he had no other reaction except that his sleep improved. The most important thing was that he no longer had morning sickness and his appetite became very good.
If Huo Xing hadn't mentioned it, Miao Ying wouldn't have remembered that he hadn't told his parents about this. When he first found out, Li Hongying said she would announce the good news after things were stable. Later, because everyone was busy setting up the stall, they forgot about it. Only after they remembered it did they ask Huo Xing to go back to his parents' house to inform them.
The next day, Liu Qiong and Miao Dahai came to the house with the things. As soon as they arrived home, Liu Qiong took Miao Ying and looked him up and down. Seeing that he looked fine and not thin, she felt relieved.
"Are you feeling unwell? When your sister-in-law was first pregnant, she vomited everything she ate." Liu Qiong held his hand. "Are you okay?"
Miao Ying smiled and shook his head: "I don't feel anything at all."
Liu Qiong finally felt relieved: "That's good, that's good." After saying that, she took Li Hongying's hand again and said, "My in-laws really take good care of me."
Li Hongying quickly waved her hands: "It's all my duty." To be honest, Li Hongying felt very ashamed. Everyone said that she took good care of her children, but in fact, she did nothing at all.
Miao Dahai didn't say much. They just talked to Huo Xing and visited Miao Ying from time to time.
"Why isn't my brother here?" He felt a little uncomfortable not seeing Miao Dong.
"I'm at home looking after the child. The child is still young, and your sister-in-law can't take care of it alone. We will be back soon. There are still many things to do at home."
"What are you busy with?"
Liu Qiong then said, "Didn't you say you wanted to make that sausage? Your sister-in-law has already negotiated with the restaurant, and now we have to hurry up and make it in time for delivery."
Miao Ying didn't expect that Zheng Caier actually treated the sausages he mentioned casually as a career. He admired her in his heart. It could be said that her life was in shambles at the beginning, but she relied on herself to make her life better and better.
"How's your business?" Liu Qiong asked again. She knew that Miao Ying and his friends had also set up a stall outside recently, and had brought meat from home before. So when they came this time, Miao Dahai carried half a pig's belly. Now that the weather was cooler, the meat could be stored.
Brothers should be clear about their accounts. Miao Ying paid for the half pork. Although Miao Dahai refused, Huo Xing was very persistent and they finally accepted it. In addition to the half pork, they also brought a lot of things for Miao Ying, such as small clothes and hats.
"These are what Pangpang wore. They've become very soft." Li Hongying said, holding the clothes. "Pangpang is easy to take care of. Wearing his clothes, I hope your children can do the same in the future."
It is a trend nowadays to give older children's clothes to younger children, especially newborn babies. People are afraid that the newly made clothes will not be soft enough, so most of the time they go to other people's children to ask for these old clothes. Some families have these clothes for many children.
Miao's parents came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Li Hongying asked her to take back a lot of eggs, saying that Zheng Cai'er was breastfeeding and needed to eat more eggs. Liu Qiong did not refuse, thanked them and left.
Miao Ying sent them to the village entrance, watched them walk away, and then slowly walked home. He met Ye Feng on the way. They had not seen each other much during this period. Miao Ying was setting up a stall outside all day, and slept when he got home. He rarely went out.
Ye Feng also suddenly realized that he and Miao Ying hadn't seen each other for a long time. He saw that Miao Ying had gained some weight, so he put his arm around his shoulders and said, "What have you been busy with lately? You rarely see people since you came back from the stall."
Miao Ying chuckled and said, "I set up a stall during the day and sleep at night. Why haven't you come to my house recently?"
Ye Feng then said, "Your Xiaobao is continuing to go to school, but my Erniu is still worried about his future, so his father and I have been thinking about sending him to learn a craft."
"What are you going to learn?" Miao Ying was a little curious. He had been in this world for a few years and knew that children in this world who did not study basically did farm work at home. Only those with some means would send their children to learn a craft and study.
"I haven't decided yet. I'll go to a martial arts school and learn martial arts for two years." Ye Feng said, "We'll see how he does. He has a lot of strength, so he can do anything. But you, you've been living a good life lately and have gained a lot of weight."
Miao Ying sighed and said, "Because I have it."
"What's the matter?" Ye Feng seemed not to understand and looked at Miao Ying again.
Miao Ying rolled his eyes at him and said, "I won't tell you anymore."
Ye Feng suddenly realized: "Such a big happy event! If you hadn't told me earlier, I would have thought you had eaten something to get so fat."
Miao Ying ignored him and continued walking back. Ye Feng caught up with him and said, "You guys hid it pretty well. I remember you were still setting up the stall all this time."
"Yes." Miao Ying replied: "I am in good health. I think exercising more is good for my health."
"That's true. I've seen women who were pregnant with babies who were just growing up in bed from the moment they conceived them to the moment they gave birth. The babies were too big during birth, and they died twice." Ye Feng clicked his tongue twice. "You're right to do this. You're young, but you know a lot."
Although Miao Ying has been a boy for several years, he still doesn't understand the physiological structure of the body very well. He also looked at it while taking a bath, and it was no different from that of men. So how would he give birth to a child when the time comes? It's impossible that we have such advanced technology as caesarean section now, right?
Miao Ying called out to Ye Feng, "Brother Feng, how are we going to give birth to this child?"
Ye Feng looked at him with eyes wide open: "Ah? What do you mean by how to give birth?"
"You don't know?" Ye Feng scratched his head again, "How come you don't even know this?"
Miao Ying looked at him innocently: "Tell me about it."
Ye Feng sighed: "Let's go to my house and I'll tell you."
Miao Ying walked out of Ye Feng's house with lifeless eyes and ran into Huo Xing who came to pick him up. "I was wondering why you haven't been back for so long? Did you go to talk to Brother Feng?"
Miao Ying raised his eyes and looked at him: "How scary."
Huo Xing stepped forward and hugged him: "What's wrong?"
"Giving birth is so scary." Miao Ying said sluggishly, "Huo Xing, do I really want to give birth?"
Huo Xing was also stunned for a moment. He really couldn't answer this question because he had never given birth and had never seen a human being. He could only hug Miao Ying silently.
After hugging him for a while, Miao Ying gently pushed his waist and said, "Let's talk about it when we get home."
After returning home, Miao Ying returned to his room, and Huo Xing followed him into the room: "What happened today? Things are different after going out."
"You know I used to be a man like you, right?" Miao Ying looked at him. "Where we are, men can't have children."
Huo Xing nodded. Miao Ying had said more than once that he was also a man, not a boy, so he could understand Miao Ying's current mood. If he were Miao Ying, he would definitely not be able to do as good a job as Miao Ying.
"I asked Brother Feng today how to give birth to a child, and I was a little scared." Miao Ying said a little depressed.
Huo Xing hugged him: "Why don't you ask mother?"
Miao Ying hit him: "You really want to make mother unhappy, right? I'm just a little scared, it's not like I won't have children anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt like a small fish was swimming in his stomach. The feeling was so unfamiliar that Miao Ying froze.
Huo Xing noticed his change and lowered his head nervously: "What's wrong?"
Miao Ying took Huo Xing's hand and placed it on her already bulging belly: "Can you feel anything?"
Huo Xing only felt something soft, just like Miao Ying. But when he was about to withdraw his hand, he also felt a slight movement: "Is it a child?"
Miao Ying nodded: "Did he hear us talking and was afraid that we didn't want him, so he tried to move?"
Miao Ying then placed her hand on her stomach, overlapping it with Huo Xing's, and softly said, "We don't abandon you, don't be angry."
Huo Xing's hand also gently stroked Miao Ying's belly: "Don't be angry."
Miao Ying retracted his hand: "I will learn more from Brother Feng in the future. The more I listen, the less afraid I will be."
"Okay, I'll be with you."
Miao Ying shook his head and drove him out of the room: "Go out, I want to take a nap."
After Huo Xing walked out of the room, Miao Ying sat cross-legged on the bed again. He hugged his slightly protruding belly with both hands, and seemed a little embarrassed. His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible: "Baby?"
But there was no response from her belly, so Miao Ying held her belly gently and said, "I am Daddy."
dad.
These two words were words that Miao Ying had never called out before, but now he was going to be a father. He had never felt real about the pregnancy before, but today he felt the fetal movement, and he finally felt it was real. There was a little life in his belly, and this little life was the closest person to him in the world.
The awkwardness of talking to his belly disappeared. Miao Ying fell on the bed, sleeping on his side, with one hand gently on his belly: "Be good and come into this world well. Daddy will love you very much."
Miao Ying thought for a moment and said, "There's also your other father, your grandmother, your great-grandmother, your three uncles, your grandmother, your uncles, and your aunts. They will all love you very much."
"So you must be healthy and come into this world safely. For you, I will be braver."
The muttering in the room gradually became quieter. Huo Xing sat at the door and heard most of what Miao Ying had just said.
Not only Miao Ying himself was confused about the fact that Miao Ying had a child, but even Huo Xing was confused. He didn't know what to do for the time being and didn't know how to face the child. He even thought about what to do after the child was born. Miao Ying's attention was more focused on the child.
But today, he felt the child's movements and truly understood that the child was not an outsider in their lives, but the continuation of his and Miao Ying's lives, and that he was also his child.
The child is the continuation of their bloodline and the proof of the love between him and Miao Ying. It is natural for Miao Ying to love the child, and it is even more necessary for him to love the child. While loving the child, he should also love Miao Ying more.
