"It's not something I figured out, but like you, it came unexpectedly. But since it's here, it proves it's fate. It feels good to be a mother." Except that we can't hire a nanny in a big way now, everything else is good.
"It's fate indeed. So what are your plans? Do you want to start working with me first, or find someone to replace you soon?"
"I'll go to work first. If it gets inconvenient later, I'll ask for help. Anyway, I haven't had any reaction at all now. I'm just like usual, eating everything and everything tastes delicious. If I hadn't gone to the doctor to confirm that I was really pregnant, I would have thought I wasn't pregnant at all.
Qian Xiaoni was envious. "You have such a good physique. When I was pregnant with my first child, I felt very sleepy. Now I feel better with my second child."
Qian Xiaoni smiled and said, "Then we have a companion. We can also exchange experiences with each other. Is this your first child? If you have any questions, you can ask me. I have experience in this."
"Okay, if there's anything I don't understand, I'll definitely ask Sister Xiaoni."
When other colleagues heard that Jiang Shushu and Qian Xiaoni were both pregnant, they all congratulated them and pooled their money to prepare two delicious dishes.
…
When Jiang Shushu got off work, he saw Yang Xiaobei as soon as he walked out the door.
"No need to pick me up, I can go home. You must be so tired!" Xiaobei said last night that he would take care of all the housework from now on. After work, he still has so much to do. How tiring must it be to run to pick me up? Wouldn't it be even more tiring? I don't want my husband to die of exhaustion because of my pregnancy.
"I'm not tired. I train every day and I'm in good physical condition. Housework and picking you up are no big deal. I'll pick you up even if I don't have to work overtime. Shushu, are you tired from work? Is your waist sore? I heard that pregnancy makes you tired easily, and your waist is especially prone to soreness. If you're tired or sore, tell me and I can give you a massage."
"I'm just pregnant, you don't have to be too nervous. I'm in great shape now, not feeling any discomfort at all, just like usual. I can run home in one breath without even getting out of breath, believe it or not? I wasn't nervous at first, but when I saw you so nervous, I got a little nervous too." Was it me who was pregnant? Or was it him? He was even more nervous than I was.
"I'm not nervous anymore. You must not be nervous. This is my first time being a father, and I'm not quite used to it yet. Give me two more days, and I'm sure I can get back into shape." I have to adjust myself. I can't be the one who spoils the fun and ruins my mood.
"Okay, don't worry. If you feel unwell, I will definitely tell you. I won't be polite with you." As long as Xiaobei is free, I will ask him to do whatever I can, and we will work together to welcome the new life.
"Don't be polite to me. Pregnancy and childbirth are very difficult. I can't share this hardship with you. I will definitely do everything else I can."
…
On Saturday, Jiang He and his wife got on the ox cart on time and set off for the city.
Everyone on the ox cart, regardless of gender, age or status, was very envious of Jiang He and his wife, their son, daughter and son-in-law who were very filial, and the fact that they could live in the city if they wanted or in the village if they wanted.
As soon as Jiang He and his wife got off the carriage, they walked towards home. When they could no longer see the people from their team, they immediately smiled at each other.
Xu Hehua: "Old man, were those people on the ox cart really envious of us? The look in their eyes made me so excited." It felt so comfortable.
"Yes, their daughter and son-in-law are filial, how can they not envy them? It's also good to be polite." It feels so good to be so noticed and envied. If I hadn't had such good self-control, I would have laughed out loud.
Xu Hehua said embarrassedly: "I almost laughed out loud just now, but luckily I was quick and pinched myself, so I was able to hold it back."
Jiang He: "..." I almost got embarrassed just now. I can't let my old wife know about this, otherwise it will be too embarrassing.
"Old woman, we have to keep a low profile. Being too ostentatious will easily make people hate us. Next time you see this kind of situation, you have to hold back. If you want to laugh, go home and laugh secretly." We are fellow villagers, so we have to give them some face.
"Okay, okay, okay."
In the evening, Yang Xiaobei and Jiang Shushu returned to Jiang Shushu's house together and stayed with Jiang He and his wife for two days.
At the dinner table, Jiang Shushu looked at Jiang He and his wife and said, "Dad, Mom, I have good news for you. I'm pregnant. You're going to be grandparents."
Jiang He and his wife were stunned at first, and then ecstatic: Thank God, she finally wanted to have a baby, and she finally got pregnant.
"Good, good, good, good pregnancy."
Xu Hehua: "How long have you been pregnant? Have you seen a doctor? What did the doctor say? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I've been to the doctor. It's been six weeks. I'm in good health. Don't worry."
"That's good. What a pity. If we had known earlier, I would have brought a big rooster to nourish you. I brought eggs too. You can eat eggs this week. Next week, your father and I will come and bring you a chicken. Then I will go back and ask each of my relatives to help raise a chicken. Then you can drink chicken soup every day when you are in confinement." Nowadays, each household is not allowed to raise more than five poultry. I don't want many, so it's okay for each family to reserve one from them. Together with the five chickens I raise, it will definitely be enough to nourish my daughter.
"Okay, thanks, Mom."
"What else do you say thank you to mom?"
Jiang He: "Shushu, you are pregnant now. Is it convenient for you to go to work? There are so many people coming and going in state-owned restaurants. Isn't it unsafe?" What if a naughty child runs around and bumps into my daughter?
Xu Hehua: "Yes, yes, yes, your father is right, you have to be careful when you are pregnant."
Jiang Shushu: "..." Why are you all so nervous? I just got pregnant, okay? It's not like I'm pregnant.
What Jiang Shushu didn't know was that Jiang He and his wife had gone through a lot of hardship trying to have a child, so they took pregnancy very seriously. When Chen Feng's nose wasn't a nose, and her eyes weren't eyes, Xu Hehua didn't say a word. Firstly, she loved her son, and secondly, she knew the challenges of childbirth and was worried that something might happen to Chen Feng during her confinement, leaving her with any sequelae.
"Mom and Dad, you don't know my health yet. I'm strong enough to kill a cow. Being pregnant is just a small problem. I feel the same as usual now. Everything I eat tastes delicious. I don't have any back pain, waist soreness, drowsiness, leg cramps, nausea, or nausea like others." It might be because she drank the Nine Heavens Mysterious Deer Milk. She doesn't look like a pregnant person at all.
"If you feel uncomfortable, tell us. Don't force it." Jiang He turned to Yang Xiaobei and said, "Xiaobei, you should pay more attention to Shushu. Pregnant women sometimes get leg cramps in the middle of the night. Tell us if you have any problems."
"Okay, Dad."
Jiang He thought about it but still felt uneasy, "Shushu, how about I ask your mother to stay and take care of you?"
