What I am worried about is that my sister’s belly is so big, will something happen to her?
I heard that childbirth is very dangerous for women, almost like going around in front of the King of Hell.
Ruan Mengmeng also saw his worry. Her younger brother was the closest person to her since she traveled to this era.
It's normal that he doesn't want anything to happen to him.
However, falling in love, getting married and having children are compulsory courses for everyone in their life.
Unless you plan to be alone for the rest of your life.
Medicine was not well developed in that era, and childbirth for women was indeed very risky.
She and her best friend have special abilities, so it should be better.
I don’t know how those ordinary people endured it.
After comforting Ruan Zilong and dispelling his worries, Ruan Mengmeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
My younger brother is still in school and has a heavy workload. I can't let him be distracted by my own affairs.
The two days of weekend rest passed quickly. Ruan Zilong enjoyed good food and drink at home for two days, then said goodbye to home again and rushed to school.
He was an independent child who could take care of himself at a very young age.
He even prepared his own clothes, shoes, bedding, sheets, and other small things he wanted to take with him, so his family never had to worry about anything.
It was still Ma Dahe who took him to school.
Knowing that he would be back on the weekend, Ma Dahe put down his work and hurried home.
He even went into the kitchen to prepare lunch for Ruan Zilong himself, and all of them were his favorite dishes.
Everyone saw all of this.
"Oh, Ruan Xiaomeng, uncle is so good to me, just like his biological son." Yes, even a biological son is just like this.
"Yes, that's true." To be honest, Ma Dahe really cares about these children, especially Ruan Zilong, for he has given so much.
Ma Dahai has been picking up and dropping off his child since the first grade, just like raising his own child.
No amount of words can express this feeling of being apart from our blood yet being like family.
Ruan Mengmeng could only swear silently in her heart that her uncle's second half of life would be left to them.
After seeing Ruan Zilong off, life soon returned to normal.
Days go by...
Two months later, the New Year is approaching.
On the 23rd day of the lunar year, the army was on annual leave, and with a few more men at home, life began to get lively again.
"Try the candy I just bought on the street." Bai Rong opened a red bag, revealing the candy melons inside.
The light yellow malt sugar is covered with dense white sesame seeds, which looks delicious.
The two best friends each took out a cigarette, put it in their mouths and took a bite.
"Crack" the sugar melon made a crisp sound and the sesame seeds fell down.
Zhang Xinxin quickly caught the fallen white sesame seeds with her hands, then threw them into her mouth and chewed them. "Mmm~ Crunchy and sweet, so delicious."
"We also have peanuts and melon seeds here, you two can try some." The Chinese New Year is coming soon.
Although there are not many relatives at home, Bai Rong will not forget to buy New Year's goods.
"Sister, these watermelon seeds are so delicious." Ruan Zilong also joined the ranks of foodies and transformed into a little hamster.
"Haha...this tastes better when it's wet, but not when it's dried out." Dried watermelon seeds are like stones and are impossible to crack.
The melon seeds inside will become dry and hard, and so salty that they are difficult to eat.
"It's okay, you can pick what you like and eat first, and I'll put it away after you're done." The meaning was very clear, Bai Rong had a way to preserve it.
As expected, an old person in the family is like a treasure.
The New Year's goods were almost ready, and Bai Rong handed over the tasks of pasting couplets and cleaning to a few men.
She went into the kitchen and busied herself with frying New Year's goods.
During every Chinese New Year, Bai Rong would fry a lot of delicious food.
She made three kinds of meatballs: vegetable meatballs, beef meatballs, and pork meatballs.
The men love meat, but the remaining women can't eat meat all the time, so the vegetarian meatballs taste good too.
Therefore, Bai Rong also made some vegetable meatballs.
Whether you eat it directly after frying, stew it or make meatball soup, it tastes good.
As for fish, Bai Rong bought hairtail, carp, sea bass, shrimp and crab.
The hairtail and carp are all cut into pieces, coated with flour and starch, and fried until crispy. They are delicious whether steamed or eaten directly.
As for shrimp and sea bass, these two are more suitable for steaming, which can maintain the freshest taste and lock in more nutrients.
Crabs are cold in nature, so pregnant women cannot eat too many. Bai Rong plans to give two crabs to each of the two pregnant women at most, no more.
Bai Rong also made some other dishes such as preserved vegetable pork and braised pork depending on the situation.
It is winter now, it is freezing cold outside, and we have installed a refrigerator at home.
After it is made, it will not go bad even if you keep it for ten days or half a month.
And when you eat it, just put it on the steamer and heat it directly.
Convenient and affordable.
The food at home was good, and Ruan Zilong grew taller and taller like a stick. At the age of twelve, he was 1.65 meters tall.
Standing there, I almost caught up with my two best friends.
It was already afternoon when all the New Year's goods were fried. After a busy day, Bai Rong was so tired that her back and waist ached.
"Oh, I can't take it anymore. I need to rest for a while." She rubbed her old waist and sat down at the table.
Ruan Mengmeng quickly poured her a glass of water and handed it to her.
It’s not that the two best friends didn’t want to help, but that Bai Rong didn’t need them at all.
The two children are already more than five months pregnant.
The belly of a pregnant woman with twins is bigger than that of an average pregnant woman. It is not very obvious in the first three months.
In the past two months, the two of them's stomachs have been growing bigger and bigger as if they were inflated with air.
Bai Rong felt scared just standing there, let alone using the two of them.
What if something happens?
"The dumpling filling is ready, but I'm too tired today, so I'll make them tomorrow." She was so tired that she didn't even want to move her fingers, let alone make dumplings. At this moment, she just wanted to lie there and rest for a while.
"Mom, leave the dumplings making task to me and Xinxin." They were not good at anything else, so they could just make dumplings and sit there without moving, so it should be okay.
"That's fine." After thinking for a while, Bai Rong felt that there was indeed no danger, so she felt relieved and handed the task of making dumplings to the two of them.
The weather was cold and everyone was wearing thick clothes. It felt like there was a big iron pot in front of the two best friends.
As night fell, scattered snowflakes began to float in the sky.
It was freezing outside, but inside a group of people were sitting around a table making dumplings and chatting and laughing.
"Okay, wash it clean. Whoever eats it later will be the future head of our family." Zhang Xinxin handed a coin that he had washed several times to Ruan Mengmeng, asking her to put it in the dumplings while making them.
