When they arrived at Zhang Pingping's house, Xiao Zhuangzhuang was sitting in a small bamboo cart eating biscuits while Zhang Pingping was busy cleaning the room.
"Jingqiu, you're back! Why are you here with the coal again? I've told you so many times, but you don't listen.
I'm cooking on the stove! I can help you cook after I'm done cooking. You can eat at my house and it's not too late to go back after dinner!"
Chu Jingqiu didn't bother to be polite with her and nodded with a smile, "Okay, Yihan isn't home anyway, and I don't know how to cook, so I'll just eat at your house."
Zhang Pingping smiled and said, "I made some corn grits porridge. Yueming likes it. You know what, after working in the queue for more than two years, I also like it. I have to make it every two days.
Just now, Cao Yuefen gave me a bunch of chives. I'll make some chive dumplings later."
As she spoke, she picked up the leeks and began to pick them. Chu Jingqiu also sat down to help her pick the vegetables. "Sister Pingping, I haven't been home for the past two days. I don't know what's going on next door. When I came out just now, I found that there was an extra woman in his house. Do you know who she is?"
Zhang Pingping glanced out the window and lowered her voice, "You don't know yet! I heard Wang Yingying is pregnant. Yesterday, on the weekend, Commander Wang and his wife came over with a lot of supplements.
Commander Wang's wife wanted to let everyone in the family compound know that her daughter was pregnant. She told everyone that Wang Yingying was pregnant, and Wang Cuihua was there to help her spread the word.
The Wang family felt that it was not easy to have a child, so they told Li Kunpeng a lot of things to pay attention to, and also told Li Kunpeng not to let Wang Yingying do housework in the future.
Li Kunpeng was also very happy, but he was a very chauvinistic man. He thought that cooking and washing clothes were things that women should do, so he brought his sister from his hometown over to serve Wang Yingying.
This woman is Li Kunpeng's sister, Li Suyun. She is a very capable person. As soon as she came, she started cleaning and helped the couple wash clothes, even their underwear and socks.
This couple is really nice. I admire their nerve."
Chu Jingqiu said jokingly: "The couple is actually pregnant. It seems that the medicine they took for the past six months was not in vain."
This Wang Yingying is really spoiled. As soon as she got pregnant, she started looking for someone to serve her. She acts like a little lady.
Zhang Pingping curled her lips, "Before I even took it, Wang Yingying and Li Kunpeng had a quarrel. Wang Yingying insisted that his sister was dirty and that she had lice.
Let Li Kunpeng take her to the guesthouse first, change all her clothes, and then give her a bath before bringing her back.
Li Kunpeng was afraid of being embarrassed, so he didn't agree. Wang Yingying threatened him with the baby in her belly. Li Kunpeng had no choice but to take his sister to the guesthouse first.
Now her sister still sleeps in the guesthouse at night and comes to help them cook and clean during the day. I heard that Li Suyun was asked to stay in the guesthouse for a week before being allowed to go home to sleep.
Chu Jingqiu asked in confusion, "Li Suyun doesn't even have a temper. She's so hardworking and willing to serve them. How rare!"
Zhang Pingping snorted coldly, "I heard from Cao Yuefen that Li Suyun's eldest son is serving in the unit where Commander Wang works. For the sake of her son, she has to swallow her anger and curry favor with Wang Yingying.
Moreover, Li Suyun is a strong laborer at home and can earn full work points every day. The work she does at home is hard and tiring.
Although she suffered a bit of hardship here, she had good food and didn't have to do such tiring farm work. The money Li Kunpeng gave her was more than her family could earn in a year, so of course she worked tirelessly.
Zhang Pingping was making leek dumplings while chatting with Chu Jingqiu. Soon, two plates of golden and crispy leek dumplings were ready.
Zhang Pingping had just helped Chu Jingqiu light the coal briquettes when Du Yueming came back. The three of them had dinner, and Chu Jingqiu went home with the coal briquettes.
As soon as I reached the door of my house, I saw Li Kunpeng standing there. He was shouting into the house: "Yingying, you are not ready yet! Come on, I will finish my walk with you. I still have things to do!"
Seeing Chu Jingqiu, Li Kunpeng smiled politely, "Teacher Chu is back!"
Chu Jingqiu politely responded, "Yes! Captain Li, are you going for a walk?"
At this time, Wang Yingying came out. When she saw Chu Jingqiu, she proudly puffed out her belly. However, as she was more than a month pregnant, she acted like she was six months pregnant.
She pounded her lower back and said, "Hey! Brother Peng, being pregnant is so tiring! My lower back is so sore!"
Li Kunpeng hurried over and rubbed her waist. "Yingying, are you okay? Why don't we go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow? You shouldn't be so tired at such a young age!"
Wang Yingying rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "What do you know? Everyone's pregnancy reaction is different. The doctor said my baby is normal and healthy!"
After saying that, she proudly walked up to Chu Jingqiu with her belly bulging out. She looked at Chu Jingqiu's belly and said, "Teacher Chu, you and Deputy Commander Xiao have been married for quite some time, more than half a year, right? You guys should hurry up!"
Chu Jingqiu glanced at her and said calmly, "I'm still young, so we're not in a hurry to have children. I have to learn from you. I'll do revolutionary work for two years first, and then it won't be too late to have children!"
Wang Yingying's smile froze when she heard Chu Jingqiu's answer. She knew that Chu Jingqiu was mocking her for taking two years to get pregnant.
She gritted her teeth and said with a forced smile, "Teacher Chu, your situation is different from ours. Deputy Division Commander Xiao is an only son, and Commander Xiao has long wanted to have a grandson.
If you don't hurry up and give birth, you might as well make Old Master Xiao unhappy. If Deputy Commander Xiao dislikes you, that would be bad.
I am a few years older than you, so you should listen to me!"
After saying that, she gently stroked her belly and said, "I suggest you go to the hospital. If you can't get pregnant, take some medicine as soon as possible to regulate your body, so as not to be disliked by the Xiao family in the end!"
Chu Jingqiu looked at Wang Yingying's smug expression and felt disgusted. She knew that Wang Yingying was deliberately showing off her pregnancy and was also mocking her for not getting pregnant after more than half a year of marriage.
However, she doesn't care about these. She has her own plans and intentions, and will not be affected by what others say.
She smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice, but you're worrying too much. We are both in good health. Unlike some people who have difficulty conceiving, the situation you described is impossible to happen to us.
I think pregnancy is a very normal thing. Normal couples can usually conceive naturally. There is no need to be so anxious, let alone take medicine to regulate it.
Besides, Yi Han from our family said that he wouldn’t despise me even if I didn’t have children.
It's better to let things take their own course and not force things. After all, children are determined by fate, don't you think? Comrade Wang?
