An Hua actually had a premonition. Her relative was always punctual, but he had been late four days this month.
I originally wanted to go for a test if it didn't come in two days, but I vomited without any warning.
Qiu Shushen immediately reacted and asked her happily: "Is there something going on again?"
An Bohuai was puzzled, "What's going on? Is Huanhuan sick?"
Qiu Shushen glared at him and said, "You two kids are already in love, yet you ask such a childish question."
An Bohuai was stunned for a while before hesitating and said, "You mean, Huanhuan is pregnant again?"
An Hua said: "We still have to check to be sure."
Qiu Shushen said hurriedly: "Let's go now. There is a medical room in the army. I will go with you."
An Hua couldn't persuade Qiu Shushen, so she could only go.
The result was just as she expected.
Qiu Shushen clasped her hands together in joy, "Buddha bless you, Buddha bless you, bless my daughter to be born safely this time..."
The doctor in the infirmary corrected him, "Old comrade, there is no Bodhisattva in this world. If you want to be blessed, it should be our great leader who blesses you."
Qiu Shushen was stunned, not knowing how to react.
An Hua smiled and said, "Yes, we should ask for the great leader's blessing." After that, she took Qiu Shushen away.
"Hanhuan, this..." Qiu Shushen hesitated.
An Hua said, "Mom, what about Bodhisattva and Buddha? They are all old-fashioned. Don't say these words anymore."
Qiu Shushen didn't understand, but seeing her daughter's serious expression, she nodded obediently.
Soon, Qiu Shushen's attention shifted back to An Hua's belly.
She smiled from ear to ear, "Dongdong is already 18 years old, and your second one is finally here."
Qiu Shushen holds old-fashioned ideas and believes that having more children means more blessings.
"What do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you."
An Hua's heart was moved, and then she pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "Aren't you going back to the provincial capital?"
Qiu Shushen thought for a while and said, "We'll do it again after your pregnancy is stable."
An Hua hugged Qiu Shushen's arm and acted coquettishly, "Mom, I'm scared. Please stay here with me forever. Wait until I give birth and sit for the full confinement period, then you can talk to me, okay?"
Qiu Shushen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You've already given birth to Dongdong, are you still afraid?"
An Hua: "Anyway, I'm just afraid."
Qiu Shushen: "But it will take another year for you to have a full month of confinement after giving birth. How about we go back first and come back when you are about to give birth?"
"I don't care, you have to stay with me, otherwise I won't give birth!" An Hua started to act like a spoiled child.
Qiu Shushen was really troubled by this daughter, and said helplessly: "If you roll on the ground a few more times, you will be almost the same as when you were three years old."
An Hua: "How about I roll around a few times for you to see?"
Qiu Shushen glared at her unhappily, then looked at her belly, and finally sighed helplessly: "I'll discuss it with your father."
Qiu Shushen and An Bohuai discussed behind closed doors for a while, and finally came out. An Bohuai said, "You can stay, but I can't live here permanently like your mother. Please help me rent a house in the county."
An Hua had already calculated it, knowing that An Bohuai would be willing to stay at his son-in-law's home for no more than half a year, so she rented a house early on.
But she didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to look for a house and help you rent one."
Qiu Shushen also nodded and said, "It's reasonable for me to stay at home and take care of your daily life. If your father lives here too, the neighbors will inevitably gossip about you. You know, Xiao Zheng has a relative at home, and his parents have difficulty walking, so they didn't take him in to take care of him."
An Hua smiled and said, "I know, I understand. You are all thinking about me."
An Bohuai added: "But I have to go back in a few days to deal with some school matters. I also need the school to issue me a certificate, otherwise I won't be able to buy food here."
Food rations are supplied according to plan, and food rations and cooking oil must be purchased with food ration certificates. An Bohuai and Qiu Shushen are not registered here, so they cannot buy food in Yun County even with their food ration certificates.
It could be that there is little population mobility in this era, and a household registration locks people down to where they are. If they want to move a step further, they need a letter of introduction or a certificate.
An Hua: "Okay, don't stay too long, come back early."
Amber Huai twirled his beard and nodded.
At this time, Xiao Fangfang came over and gestured to ask An Hua what she wanted to eat for lunch.
An Hua didn't have any particular desire to eat, so she just let her watch and cook.
Yau Shu-shen asked her: "Don't you want to eat sour or spicy food?"
An Hua shook her head and didn't want to.
Xiao Fangfang suddenly ran away, and came back a few moments later, holding a basin with a few fish in it, still alive and kicking.
Xiao Fangfang had just bought the fish that morning. A farmer was setting up a stall in front of the gate of the family compound.
Qiu Shushen took one look and said, "Oh, it's yellow croaker. It's not easy to find yellow croaker in this season. Huanhuan likes to eat braised croaker, I'll make it."
An Hua couldn't help swallowing, "Now that mom said that, I want to eat it."
Xiao Fangfang smiled, feeling that she was useful and had bought something her sister-in-law wanted to eat, so she hurried to prepare the fish.
Qiu Shushen warned: "Although you have already given birth to a child, I still have to remind you, don't let your son-in-law get close to you in the first three months, understand?"
An Hua understood this principle and said, "I know."
Qiu Shushen looked at her daughter twice, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
"Mom, just tell me what you have to say. Why are you embarrassed to me?"
Qiu Shushen coughed lightly and said, "I woke up several times at night and heard a lot of noise in your room. I know you have a good relationship with your son-in-law now. The young couple likes to be intimate, and your son-in-law is always... If your son-in-law pesters you, you must not let him do what he wants. If you really can't do it, come and sleep with me."
"Mom, do you...do you get up frequently at night?" An Hua was a little dumbfounded.
She knew that the house was not soundproof, but the house was big, and her and Xiao Zheng's bedroom was far away from the other bedrooms, so they were sometimes more unrestrained... Who could have expected that they would be heard?
Yau Shu-shen thought to herself, it’s not just her, it’s also her father.
But seeing her daughter's embarrassment, she kindly swallowed her words.
She only said, "It's okay. I've been through this before, and I understand. Just remember what I said. Don't let him get close to you in the first three months. Even after three months, don't be too... reckless."
After saying this, Qiu Shushen turned around and left.
