The second class was a first aid class given by Cheng Rushan and He Liang to the students, teaching them some ways to deal with emergencies, such as fire, cramps when swimming, and how to find direction when lost in the wild.
Cheng Rushan stood in front of the podium, his eyes swept across the tops of the students' foreheads. Every time he spoke, his eyes would end on Jiang Lin intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing her holding her chin and tilting her head to smile at him, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Jiang Lin thought he was so good-looking, and he taught clearly and concisely, with almost no nonsense. His voice and words were clear, and there were no ambiguous knowledge points.
As long as the question is related to the class, he basically answers it and his answers are always relevant. He is not intimidated by giving lectures to top students from key universities just because he has not attended college.
He Liang was also convinced. He came there as an assistant lecturer and was so nervous that his legs were shaking. He could hardly open his mouth to speak. Look at Captain Cheng, he was so relaxed and not nervous at all.
But your eyes are too focused and eager, why are you staring at our Captain Cheng's face?
He has a wife! His wife is sitting downstairs.
"Teacher Cheng, you mentioned some unexpected situations. What if we are attacked by bad guys on the road or when we are caught off guard, how can we protect ourselves? Can you add another women's fighting class for us?" A brave female student from Class 2 asked with a smile.
Others followed suit, saying, "Of course we need to learn, boys need to learn too."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Rushan waved to He Liang, motioning him to come forward.
He Liang walked over and stood at attention, trying to show his most dignified side.
Cheng Rushan patted his shoulder and signaled him to relax. "Students who are interested in learning, this is your instructor He. Discuss the time and place for learning with him."
He Liang immediately saluted his classmates and said in a very literary way, "Please give me your guidance."
The students all laughed, "Thank you, Instructor He. Isn't Teacher Cheng coming?"
Su Xingyun shouted, "Teacher Cheng needs to spend time with his wife and children."
Cheng Rushan smiled and said, "I will personally supervise the final exams this semester. Those who fail..."
"Ah—there's still an exam!"
"We just looked at the teacher and didn't listen to the class at all!" Screams rang out one after another.
"Student Jiang, help me!" They all bowed to Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin: “…”
Cheng Rushan made a gesture, and the classroom immediately quieted down. "Don't be nervous, just review the knowledge points we have taught you before. You will have no problem with your intelligence. In addition, everyone should submit a short essay of about 2,000 to 3,000 words. If you write a good essay, you don't have to take the exam."
"Hey..." They are science students, let them write papers and articles? Just kill them. Many people think that they should just take the exam, it's not difficult anyway, and it's basically the same if you borrow the notes. Some people think it's fine, it's just 3,000 words, it's a piece of cake. Go back and ask friends who are liberal arts students to help write an article, it's a matter of minutes.
Who knew Cheng Rushan would add, "You must write it yourself. If you ask someone to write for you, you will definitely fail if you are caught. Of course, I will warn the liberal arts students. If anyone writes for someone else, it will be like causing others to fail, and you will also fail yourself. The younger students will have military training, but you will not, so the course will take up a few more credits. Please take it seriously."
Oh my god! Students will no longer dare to slack off, it is linked to academic credits!
Too cruel!
"If you have any questions, you can consult Instructor He." He patted He Liang on the shoulder, gave him an encouraging look, and then announced the end of get out of class. He knew that Jiang Lin had no classes later, so he went to help her pack her schoolbag. "Are you going to the hospital today?"
Jiang Lin is in good health. She has only been to the hospital once since she became pregnant. She usually goes to the school clinic and asks Guo Yanqiu to check her.
Now that her belly is getting bigger at six months, Guo Yanqiu suggested that she go for a B-ultrasound to check the amniotic fluid, etc. She should have regular checkups in the future, pay attention to fetal movements, listen to the fetal heart rate, etc.
In fact, regular check-ups are just what doctors tell you to do. Pregnant women won't go if there's nothing wrong. It requires taking time off from work and costs money. B-ultrasound is still a rare device and not all hospitals have it. You have to pay for it yourself, and it's not included in the medical manual.
Jiang Lin nodded, "You go back and do your work, I can go by myself."
It's just a bus ride. The country women are still hoeing the fields at this time, and they will harvest wheat in a few days. Even if they are pregnant, they have no rest unless they give birth immediately.
Cheng Rushan: "It has been arranged."
As long as it wasn't an overseas assignment or a meeting that absolutely required him, other work could be temporarily postponed. He happened to drive here, so he took her to the PLA Hospital.
Jiang Lin has a student ID and Cheng Rushan has an officer ID, so they basically don't have to pay for medical treatment.
On the way, Jiang Lin asked Cheng Rushan, "Are you really going to give us a test?"
Cheng Rushan laughed: "Why, my wife is afraid of exams?"
Jiang Lin: "No student is not afraid of exams. Were you not afraid when you were in school?"
Cheng Rushan was silent for a moment, "I won't participate."
Jiang Lin: “…”
"Then please make your proposal simpler." Jiang Lin bribed him with a smile.
Cheng Rushan: "Wife, I'm not responsible for setting questions." I don't have time.
Jiang Lin's eyes lit up: "How about I find a few classmates to help you come up with questions."
Cheng Rushan couldn't help but rubbed her head with his hand, and said jokingly: "I can let Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao try."
The Political Department has special civilian staff who are responsible for writing the tutorials and naturally they are responsible for setting the questions. There is no need for the students taking the exam to set the questions themselves. My wife is having a nice dream.
When they arrived at the hospital, Cheng Rushan asked Jiang Lin to wait for a while while he went to register and ask, and happened to meet Fang Chengxia.
Fang Chengxia stayed in the countryside for a year and returned to the hospital at the beginning of this year. She looked much calmer, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes, but more easy-going and gentle.
She took the initiative to greet Cheng Rushan, and when she heard that Jiang Lin was brought here for a check-up, she asked him to help contact the doctor.
"Go ahead, go to the ultrasound room first and then go to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic." Her voice was very gentle, which made people relax involuntarily.
Jiang Lin thanked her and said goodbye, then went to the ultrasound room with Cheng Rushan. The ultrasound machines at that time were very different from those in later generations. The screen was very small and could only show black and white images. There were also relatively few items that could be seen, mainly to check the size of the fetus and the condition of the amniotic fluid.
After a brief conversation with the ultrasound operator, Jiang Lin lay down, but the baby did not cooperate.
Doctor: "He's a little shy. He kept his back to me, so I couldn't see him."
Jiang Lin: "..." He is still shy? Maybe he is tired. When I heard Cheng Rushan talking in class, he was so happy.
"Doctor, can you help me see if it's one or two?"
Doctor: "Does your family have a history of twin pregnancies?" She took a look and said, "One baby."
Even if he has his back to the baby, it is impossible to block the other baby completely. If you see only one, it means there is only one baby.
Jiang Lin actually had her own judgment. When the fetus moved, only one place moved, not two at the same time, which also proved that there was only one baby.
Cheng Rushan was relieved when he heard this. He was not there when she gave birth to Dabao and Xiaobao. Doctor Lan said that it would be very hard for women to be pregnant with two babies at once, and it would be easy to have various emergencies. Especially in the later stages, they must be carefully taken care of.
Now that she only has one baby, at least she doesn't have to work so hard.
The doctor turned to look at Cheng Rushan and said with a smile, "Dad, do you like boys or girls?"
Cheng Rushan: "We already have two naughty boys."
"Haha, that means you want a baby girl. It's good to have both a son and a daughter. Oh, your little baby is not cooperating at all. He refuses to turn over. I guess he is sleeping soundly." At this time, the B-ultrasound effect was limited and not so clear. He also had his back to the baby and could not see whether it was a boy or a girl.
After about 20 minutes, the doctor took a look and said, "The amniotic fluid is good and the baby is a normal size, but he has been uncooperative and I can't see whether it is a boy or a girl."
Family planning was only started at this time, and those who came for B-ultrasound were not ordinary people. They would basically tell whether the child was a boy or a girl as long as they could see it, but there was nothing they could do if the baby did not cooperate.
Jiang Lin thanked the doctor, and Cheng Rushan took her out with the ultrasound report to see the obstetrician and gynecologist.
The doctor checked and found nothing wrong. He also taught Jiang Lin how to count fetal movements and some precautions, and told her to come to the hospital for a check-up if there were any abnormalities.
Cheng Rushan also asked if there was anything special that needed attention in terms of diet.
The doctor thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing special. Just eat normally."
At this time, everyone is full and there is no good food, so the doctor doesn't have any special instructions about what not to eat or how much to eat. There is no need for that.
Before leaving, Jiang Lin went to say goodbye to Fang Chengxia and thank her.
Fang Chengxia: "Everything is fine."
"Okay, thank you, Doctor Fang."
Fang Chengxia nodded and wanted to ask Fang Chengguang, but she didn't ask because her brother was in the capital for training.
Jiang Lin had classes in the afternoon, so Cheng Rushan took her home and they had lunch together in the school cafeteria.
While getting her meal, she looked at the window and asked another chef, "Teacher Tian is not here to help."
The master smiled and said, "He said he got a job and took students to paint."
Jiang Lin smiled and didn't ask any more questions. She and Cheng Rushan went to eat.
Cheng Rushan looked at her and said, "When the weather gets warmer, it will be very hard to get pregnant because your belly is getting bigger. Do you want to take a leave? You can find classmates to tutor you regularly." The doctor said that the belly will grow very fast starting from the seventh month, and she still needs to take the bus, which he felt would be very hard.
Jiang Lin didn't want to be so squeamish, "Wait eight months before asking for leave. It's pretty relaxing right now."
"Then I'll try my best to arrange time to pick you up." If he has time, he will come by himself. If he doesn't have time, he will ask He Liang. Anyway, He Liang is Instructor He now and has to go in and out of the campus frequently.
…
In a blink of an eye, a month passed. Plans could not keep up with the rapid changes, so Jiang Lin went to rest at home early.
Originally, Jiang Lin thought that her belly was not that big. It was not too obvious at six months, and it shouldn't be a big deal at seven months. However, it turned out that she had no experience, and her imagination and reality were really very different.
When she was seven months pregnant, her belly had grown big, but her waist was still very thin, and you could hardly tell she was pregnant from behind. Her family was worried about her, thinking that with such a thin waist and such a big belly, she would not be able to handle it, and it must be very hard.
Especially Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao, who were inexperienced and nervous. They gathered together for meetings all day long, discussing whether Jiang Lin's belly had grown again, why it was so scary, and whether they should help hold it up for her.
Dabao and Xiaobao were so confused and couldn’t understand why mom’s belly was so big. Wasn’t the baby born yet?
So, why is this Baosheng so naughty!
When she comes, I must teach her a lesson.
Dabao and Xiaobao even put aside their past grudges and discussed together how to educate their baby. Should they make her stand in the corner as punishment, or not allow her to eat candy, or make her recite a text, or even let her participate in labor?
Jiang Lin was so amused when she heard them discussing it.
Cheng Rushan decisively asked her to take a leave and not go to school anymore. He was worried even if someone picked her up. Especially now that she didn't sleep well at night, her stomach was too big to lie down, and she had to get up several times. Her sleep time was sporadic, and she was always sleepy during the day. She fell asleep while lying on her stomach during class several times, and her stomach was uncomfortable. Cheng Rushan made the decision for her and asked Liu Jianwu for a leave, so that she could go to take the final exam.
Now Jiang Lin stays at home, and Yan Runzhi doesn't go anywhere either. She stays by her side and prepares delicious food for her.
"We didn't have much delicious food when I had my first child. We missed out on some good food, but now that conditions are better, we must make up for it."
Yan Runzhi also raised a few chickens in the vegetable garden for eggs, and mobilized relatives and friends to help her find roosters and hens for sale. She bought them and made chicken soup for Jiang Lin every few days. There were also various wild carps, black fish, and crucian carps. She also asked Cheng Rushan to buy some mandarin fish regularly. In addition, the various vegetables in the vegetable garden grew well, so Jiang Lin's food was very good.
That day, Xu Aimei and Jiang Min brought Xiao Meng and Xiao Jun to see her.
As soon as they met, Xu Mei was surprised and said, "Linlin, you have grown a lot of weight at home."
Jiang Lin quickly touched her face and asked, "Am I really fat? Very fat?"
Xiao Meng smiled and said, "Aunt, you look better like this. You were too thin before."
Jiang Lin: How can a woman be afraid of losing weight! She ate at home every day and didn't even notice that she had gained weight. She even asked Cheng Rushan if she had gained weight. Cheng Rushan touched her waist seriously and said that she hadn't gained weight at all, it was all in her belly. Of course, there were also breasts. Her breasts had grown by more than two sizes.
Jiang Lin felt like she was about to undergo a second growth spurt!
Jiang Min also said: "Actually I'm not fat. When you're pregnant you'll be rounder. It's abnormal if you're not rounder."
Yan Runzhi invited them into the house to eat, "I made pigeon soup."
Jiang Lin has been eating too much delicious food recently and is not so craving for meat, so Yan Runzhi lets her drink the most essence of the soup. With so many men in the family, none of the meat will be wasted.
Anyway, seeing Cheng Yunzhi gaining weight and Dabao and Xiaobao growing taller, Wensheng, Cheng Rushan and He Liang all increased their exercise to burn off the extra food.
Otherwise, they will all follow suit and make it round, which won’t work!
Xu Aimei and Jiang Min brought an old hen, which was still alive. They could keep it for a few days and kill it whenever they wanted to eat it.
Yan Runzhi was very happy and served them pigeon soup.
Xu Aimei and Jiang Min couldn't refuse, so they tasted it and let Xiao Meng drink a small bowl. Xiaojun was not interested in the soup and wanted to eat the meat.
Xiaojun: "Where are my big brother Dabao and my little brother Xiaobao?"
Jiang Lin: "They went with Wensheng to catch cicadas."
Because she was pregnant and had to rest at home, Vincent also asked for leave from the troupe and insisted on staying at home to take care of her.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, there are more cicadas. They use flashlights to look for cicada turtles at night and catch cicadas during the day, saying that they want to improve her life.
Although she had become plump from eating chicken, duck, fish and meat, they still felt it was not enough, because grandma said that Linlin should give her nutrition to Baosheng, who is prone to malnutrition, so they thought she should eat more.
It’s best to eat eight meals a day!
Around noon, Wensheng came back with Dabao and Xiaobao, carrying two long strings of cicadas. They had stuck them on almost all the woods and roadside trees nearby.
Vincent, Dabao and Xiaobao were wearing brother outfits, all wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts, and straw hats, looking clean and handsome.
When Xiaojun heard them coming back, he ran over and cried, "I missed you guys so much."
Dabao: "I just saw it a few days ago, don't be so exaggerated."
Xiaojun: "I miss you every day when I don't see you!"
Xiaojun: "You want some candy, but I can't have that. I'm saving all my candy for my baby. I'll give you some when she comes."
Xiaojun: "When will Baosheng come? I can't wait to see her."
The adults in the room found it very interesting to hear them laughing.
Jiang Min said to Xiao Meng, "Xiao Meng, go play with your brothers."
Xiao Meng said goodbye to Jiang Lin and Yan Runzhi obediently. She is still as quiet as before, but much more confident. In the Jiang family, she has Qinqin as her companion and can talk to her in private. Qinqin is very powerful and her younger brothers dare not bully her, so Xiao Meng's status has also risen.
Looking at Xiao Meng's back as she walked out, Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Xiao Meng has grown a lot taller, and her complexion has returned to normal."
He used to be skinny, short, and had yellow hair. Now he has grown a lot taller, his cheeks are white and clean, his hair has turned black and thicker, and he has some flesh on his body. His baby fat is so cute.
Jiang Min is very grateful to her sister and her family. "Now I am bolder and dare to speak out. I am doing well in school and have good grades. When I am with Qinqin, people call us sisters."
Jiang Min visited the school whenever she had time and talked to the teachers. They all said that Xiao Meng had made great progress. When she first came, she didn't dare to talk to her classmates, didn't dare to raise her hand to answer questions in class, and was timid when the teacher asked questions. Later, she got better, got along well with the girls, and the teachers liked her too.
Xu Aimei smiled and said, "In our family, the girls are the most promising. Qinqin and Xiaomeng are also better at studying than their younger brother."
Qinqin is lively and sensible. Although Song Lijuan favors her younger son, in the eyes of her grandmother Xu Aimei, she is a good girl.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Min took out the account book and gave it to Jiang Lin.
Before, they jointly opened a sales outlet to sell Shuihuai Village's embroidery products, cloth shoes, underwear, ladies' small items, etc., as well as radios, cloth, and specialty tea and wolfberries that Cheng Rushan asked Duan Changan and Zhu Junjie to bring back from other places.
At the beginning of this year, Xu Aimei retired and let Jiang Erge take over, and she is specifically responsible for this.
Cheng Rushan rented a few government-owned shops with backyards near Huichuntang on Old Street, where he could use them as warehouses and open a shop. He also went to handle the formal documents so that the market management would not make it difficult.
At that time, there was no such thing as an individual business license. Everyone set up their own stalls or ran their own shops, and basically no one cared about their small business.
Some people earn more money by setting up stalls every day than by working, but they will be looked down upon and considered as not doing their job properly.
After opening the shop, Xu Aimei took charge of it and business was very good.
Jiang Min is studying very easily now and her grades are better than Jiang Xinglei's. She helps Xu Aimei with the accounts and does everything neatly, not missing a penny. Lu Hang even said that she is more meticulous than the accountant in the textile factory.
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "I don't like looking at the account books. It makes me dizzy. I can just let my sister take care of it. I'll ask Lu Hang and Doctor Guo to check it regularly."
They are a partnership consisting of her, her mother's family, and Lu Hang.
As long as there is enough money to spend, Jiang Lin doesn't care about money.
Now that she has done well in her studies, she will have a good job in the future. Cheng Rushan has a high salary, the Shuihuai Village Brigade also gives Wensheng's grandparents food money, the brick kiln factory also gives her dividends, the Wensheng Troupe makes money, and Dabao and Xiaobao also earn royalties for writing stories. Now there is no one in their family who eats for free, and there is no money to spend. Otherwise, Yan Runzhi would not be able to stew chicken and fish for her every three or five days.
Xu Aimei said, "Look, Lu Hang is a kid who comes to our house quite often."
Jiang Lin asked again how Qianbo was doing.
Qianbo found a girlfriend at the beginning of the year and got married a while ago. Jiang Lin didn't go, so she asked Jiang Xinglei to bring the gift money for her. She gave him five yuan for a five-jin meal ticket.
Xu Aimei: "That child... it's nothing. Anyway, my wife looks nice and we can live with her."
Qianbo's wife looked nice, but she had a bad temper. She didn't like Qianbo to have any female friends. She heard from somewhere that Qianbo and Jiang Lin were close, so she didn't allow Jiang Lin to go to the wedding, which made Qianbo very depressed. But his parents liked it, so he had no choice. In the end, Jiang Lin didn't go at all, and even asked Jiang Xinglei to bring money for the wedding.
Qianbo gave his parents and wife a lecture and threatened to live in the dormitory, and only then did the family quiet down.
Jiang Lin heard it from Jiang Xinglei and Lu Hang.
She felt that she and Qianbo were not that close. They just went to Shuihuai Village together. He helped her and had a crush on her. Later, when she had problems with her notice, he also rushed to help. Jiang Lin treated him as a friend. When he got married, she naturally had to express her gratitude. His wife didn't want to see her, so she certainly didn't go to upset them. Besides, she didn't want to go anywhere with her pregnant belly.
Cheng Yunzhi came back from playing chess with the retired cadres, greeted them, and went to help Yan Runzhi cook.
Xu Aimei didn't let him do it. She helped Yan Runzhi and talked to her mother-in-law warmly.
Jiang Min took Jiang Lin's hand and went out for a walk with her, and they would be back for dinner soon.
They went to the vegetable garden and saw Vincent weeding and picking insects, looking very focused. He looked particularly good when he was serious.
Jiang Min: "Linlin, is Wensheng going to get better?"
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Look, he's doing fine now. He has no worries and can make money."
Wensheng heard her voice, stood up and waved to them, took two clean tomatoes and gave them, "very sweet." He was busy tending the vegetable garden again. In this vegetable garden, except for digging the ground, Wensheng would ask He Liang and others to help, and the rest of the time he and Cheng Yunzhi took care of it.
He treated the vegetable garden like performing an opera, because it was very important as it provided food for his family.
After looking at him for a while, Jiang Lin asked Jiang Min: "Did Liang Tiefeng write to you?"
Jiang Min nodded, "Yes, Xiao Meng wrote back to him."
After the fall, Mrs. Liang had been in a bad state. She kept forcing Liang Tiefeng to remarry. When he refused, she would make trouble and ask for Xiaojun and Xiaomeng all day long. It is conceivable that the life of the mother and daughter was not easy. However, Liang Tiefeng did not say these things. He just sent money, wrote letters, and sent the wolfskin mattress that Cheng Rushan had made for Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "It will always get better and better."
Jiang Min: "Yes. It's very easy to find a job for our accounting major. As soon as we graduate, we can go to a big factory to work as an intern accountant, and become a full-time employee in half a year."
She is full of confidence and longing for her future life.
Cheng Rushan didn't come back for lunch at noon, so Xu Aimei and the others left after lunch and played for a while. Dabao and Xiaobao promised to let Xiaomeng, Xiaojun and Xiaoluo come to play together after summer vacation. Xu Aimei would also come to visit and send some children's clothes, which is also a local custom. When a girl gives birth to a child, her parents will send the child clothes, some old and some new.
After they left, Jiang Lin took a nap under the grape trellis in the yard, Yan Runzhi was doing needlework nearby, and Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao surrounded Jiang Lin in a fan shape and gave Baosheng prenatal education.
They learned this from Cheng Rushan.
Jiang Lin found that every time Cheng Rushan talked to her belly, the baby would react sensitively, so she asked Cheng Rushan to talk to him more. There was no need to tell stories, just talk about whatever came to his mind. Even if it was just a chat between the couple, it would be useful.
She thought that maybe it was because Cheng Rushan's voice was a little low and more magnetic, so it made the baby more sensitive.
Vincent, Dabao and Xiaobao also learned it after seeing it.
Wensheng sings nursery rhymes, Dabao explains arithmetic problems from the Four Books and Five Classics, and Xiaobao is read stories and Tang poetry and rhythm enlightenment. In his spare time, he also listens to the radio. Anyway, the prenatal education work is very strict.
Jiang Lin leaned on the recliner and fell asleep after being coaxed by them one by one. They were so gentle that she couldn't help but fall asleep.
Seeing that she fell asleep, Wensheng signaled Xiaobao to keep his voice down, "Mom is asleep." He lowered the straw curtain on the shelf to block the wind for Jiang Lin so that her head would not be blown.
Xiaobao really whispered: "Is Baosheng asleep?"
Dabao: "Let me feel it."
He touched Jiang Lin's belly and felt the baby moving. He was so surprised that his eyes widened. "She's not asleep yet, she's still listening!"
So they lowered their voices, lay down beside Jiang Lin's belly and whispered, saying that they would touch her and see after a while. If the other party did not respond, they would assume that she must have fallen asleep too.
Yan Runzhi was sewing clothes nearby. Lu Hang got her a lot of thick gauze, which could be quilted into children's underwear. She made a few monk clothes for Baosheng, and a vest and trousers for Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin asked her not to embroider, but she couldn't help it. She wanted to embroider something when she saw the plain clothes. Now she didn't embroider traditional patterns, but used thick threads to embroider the cartoon patterns drawn by Jiang Lin. The lines were simple and unsophisticated, which was very suitable for children.
In the evening, Cheng Rushan came back from outside and saw Jiang Lin sleeping soundly under the grape trellis with a blanket on her head. Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao were also lying on the straw mats beside them. Their clothes smelled of floral water. There were also a few colorful strips of cloth hanging from the grape trellis, which fluttered in the breeze. I don't know if they were to drive away mosquitoes or flies.
Yan Runzhi was picking vegetables there, and Cheng Yunzhi was probably out playing chess with someone and was not at home.
Yan Runzhi: "They have slept for a while. Wake them up. If they sleep too much, they won't be able to sleep at night."
Cheng Rushan leaned over to take a look, then touched Jiang Lin's face, which was sweaty and felt cold.
When the weather gets hot, she sweats more easily as she is older.
She got up three times last night, and because she felt uncomfortable lying down, she leaned against the quilt to rest, and she felt a little hot, so she didn't sleep well all night. Now she was sleeping soundly, and Cheng Rushan was reluctant to wake her up.
"Wow~~" Xiaobao suddenly started crying while sleeping.
Cheng Rushan frowned slightly and slapped him awake, "What nightmare did you have?"
Xiao Bao blinked his eyes, unable to distinguish between dreams and reality. He got up and looked at his father and mother. He saw that Jiang Lin's belly was still bulging. He took a long breath and patted his chest, "You scared yourself."
Wensheng and Dabao also woke up and asked him what he was doing.
Xiaobao looked terrified, "You don't know, I had a very scary dream, the scariest dream in my life."
Dabao glanced at him, "How scary is it? Scarier than being kidnapped by Hehe?"
Xiaobao: "It's a hundred times more scary."
Vincent asked him what his dream was.
Xiaobao: "You all sit tight."
Yan Runzhi also came over to listen, "What on earth is going on? I'm curious."
No matter what her child does, Yan Runzhi is willing to support him as long as he needs it. Even if it is boring, she will say it is very interesting. If it is a little interesting, she will praise him in various ways, which gives the child great confidence.
Xiaobao: "I dreamed that Linlin went to the hospital and brought back two little brothers."
Dabao looked horrified and disgusted, "Are you dreaming?"
Wensheng: "Brothers are good too. Aren't you two brothers too?"
Yan Runzhi laughed, "Don't you say that brothers and sisters are good? Why do you dislike your brother?"
Before, Dabao and Xiaobao said that their younger brothers and sisters liked it, but now they look disgusted, which shows that they were lying.
Xiao Bao said confidently, "Grandma, it's annoying enough to have two naughty boys at home. If there are two more, you and grandpa will be even more annoying. And Dongsheng and Linlin will not be able to stand it. Look at you, you made several little skirts. If it were a little brother, who would wear them? You will never be able to sew little skirts in your life."
Children especially like to imitate adults’ speech, and think that this is a very cool word in their life.
Everyone: ...This twisted logic is quite believable.
Dabao: "Mom went for an ultrasound and it said there will only be one baby, not two."
Xiao Bao's eyes widened, looking at him in horror, "How could I not know! Didn't you say two? One is not enough, don't fight with me, that's mine!"
The two of them woke Jiang Lin up.
Cheng Rushan gave them both a disapproving look.
Xiao Bao looked at her with tears in his eyes, "Linlin, when did you go for an ultrasound? How come I didn't know about it?"
He didn't know what B-ultrasound was, and even if Jiang Lin had told him before, he had forgotten it. But he didn't remember whether Baosheng was one or two.
Why does he always remember that there are two? Who said that Dabao and Xiaobao are brothers? There must be two Baoshengs as well. Did he remember it wrong?
In fact, he also thought that Baosheng was one at first. Later, when Jiang Lin's belly grew bigger, the women in the compound would ask if they were two, just like Dabao and Xiaobao, twins. He heard it so many times that they were two, and he believed it without a doubt.
Dabao squinted at him with a wicked smile, "You have lost your memory. We have said this many times."
Xiaobao threw himself into Wensheng's arms, "Wensheng, I have Alzheimer's disease."
Yan Runzhi, who is a serious middle-aged and elderly person who does not suffer from dementia: "......!!!"
Jiang Lin laughed so hard that she held her belly and said, "No, I can't laugh anymore." She laughed so hard that the baby woke up and started punching in her belly.
Xiao Bao came closer again, pressed against Jiang Lin's belly, and whispered softly.
Jiang Lin vaguely heard, "Baosheng, my dear Baosheng, you must be a little sister, right? Brother will treat you well. If you are a little brother, Dabao will bully you!"
Jiang Lin: “…”
At dinner time, Xiaobao was a little depressed. He sighed, "We are so lively, but Baosheng is the only one. It must be so lonely to sit on the train for such a long time."
Dabao: "How can she be lonely when she is here?" He glanced at Jiang Lin's belly.
Dabao specifically consulted someone and already knew that what was in his mother's belly was Baosheng, not a train. But he still didn't know how his father put it in, and no one dared to explain it to him in detail.
Although Xiaobao saw that Jiang Lin's belly was very big, he still believed that it was just a big belly. The baby would still have to take the train to be born, and he would just need to go to the hospital and bring the baby back. As for why the belly was so big and why there were fetal movements, he understood that it was a magical train and no explanation was needed, just like why Sun Wukong could jump out of a stone.
Xiaobao: "Grandma, please sew a doll for Baosheng so that she can keep company."
Yan Runzhi: "Okay, do you want me to sew one for you two?"
Dabao: “I don’t want it.” I have a younger sister!
Xiaobao: "Grandma, please sew a few more sisters and let them wear flowery dresses."
Dabao: "The one wearing the skirt might be Nezha."
Xiaobao: I feel so tired. I don’t want to talk to you. I just look at you sideways.
Wensheng: "Nezha was naked at the beginning. When he wore a skirt, he was neither a man nor a woman."
This time, not only Jiang Lin, but even Cheng Yunzhi laughed so hard that the soup sprayed out. Only Cheng Rushan managed to hold it together and took a towel to wipe Jiang Lin's chest. She spilled a mouthful of soup on her own chest.
Cheng Rushan: "Don't laugh while eating."
Xiaobao: "Why is Dongsheng getting more and more serious? Is it because having too many children is too stressful to support a family? Uncle Di said that having too many children is too much to support and too much pressure, so we need to have family planning."
Dabao: "I can support my sister."
Wensheng: "Then I will support mom. Grandma, don't save money, buy delicious food for mom."
Dabao quickly ate a few bites, put down his chopsticks and left.
Yan Runzhi: "Dabao, what are you doing? You only ate so little."
Dabao: "I need to finish writing the story and submit it tomorrow so I can get the payment earlier."
Jiang Lin held her belly, and the little one must be happy and cheerful too.
In the evening, the two brothers did not go looking for the cicada turtle. Xiaobao took Yan Runzhi to sew dolls, and Dabao took Wensheng and grandfather to write stories.
Jiang Lin and Cheng Rushan went out for a walk, then listened to the radio and prepared to go to bed around nine o'clock.
Jiang Lin had slept during the day and couldn't fall asleep at this moment, so she let Cheng Rushan sleep first.
Cheng Rushan read to her.
Jiang Lin: "Brother Shan, why don't you go to the south room and sleep."
Cheng Rushan: "You're chasing me away again."
Her belly had grown bigger, and he had long been afraid to touch her, but he had always been reluctant to sleep in a separate room from her.
Jiang Lin: "I always have to get up at night, which keeps you awake. Besides, you can't sleep with me when I'm in confinement."
Cheng Rushan was puzzled: "Why can't we be together? I can help take care of the baby."
Jiang Lin: "You work so hard, how can you have time to take care of the baby? Mom will help me." At this time, she got up two or three times at night, and she was afraid that the baby would not let her sleep all night during the confinement period. He did the work of several people alone, and he couldn't be sleep deprived for a long time. Moreover, he had to go out on field missions, which might be dangerous.
Cheng Rushan patted her on the shoulder and said, "We'll talk about it when the time comes." The baby hasn't been born yet, so there's no point in arguing about it now.
Although Cheng Rushan didn't sleep much, his sleep quality was very high. As long as he was sure that Jiang Lin was not uncomfortable, he could fall asleep quickly. Even if he woke up in the middle, it was relatively easy to fall asleep again. This was the result of good physical fitness and years of training.
Jiang Lin could only let him do what he wanted. Sometimes he was very easy to talk to, but sometimes he was very stubborn.
She rested her head on his arm, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, and soon fell asleep.
Jiang Lin got up in the middle of the night and heard Dabao crying in the south room.
Wensheng and He Liang woke up and asked, "What's going on?"
Dabao: "Oh my god! I was infected by Xiaobao and had the scariest dream of my life!"
