Mr. Jiang came in carrying a box from outside and asked, "What is this talking about?"
"We are going to meet our neighbors. What are you doing?" Zhang Meiling asked, looking at the box.
Old Master Jiang took off his scarf and hat, opened the box on the ground, and took out a radio from it.
"Mengmeng is not working these days, so she must be bored at home. I bought her a radio so she won't be bored."
Zhang Meiling gave him an approving look and said, "You are very thoughtful."
Qi Huilan glanced at Liu Dajiang behind her, meaning to ask him who gave him the money?
Liu Dajiang nodded at her, meaning that he also paid.
Qi Huilan breathed a sigh of relief. The radio was a big item, and even if Zhang Meiling and her husband were good to Qi Mengmeng, it would be difficult for them to accept such a valuable thing.
Qi Mengmeng also thought of what she was thinking. She had money and seemed to have a ticket for a radio, but she had no interest in it and had never thought of buying one.
Zhang Meiling had already started to check the radio, twisting the buttons to change the channel. Qi Huilan also leaned over and listened attentively.
She is usually busy with work and doesn't have much time to listen to the radio.
The five people in this room are not short of money, but they really have no time to listen to the radio. Now when they see the radio, they are as interested as a child seeing a new toy.
Instead, Qi Mengmeng sat in the distance, watching a few people tinkering with it.
Zhang Meiling turned around and saw Qi Mengmeng sitting far away, so she pushed the radio towards her: "Mengmeng, come and listen."
Qi Mengmeng listened carefully and it seemed to be an opera. She glanced at the people around her and saw that Zhang Meiling and Qi Huilan had their ears close to the radio, listening very seriously.
Liu Dajiang and Old Man Jiang were also listening attentively, with Old Man Jiang even nodding his head from time to time.
Qi Mengmeng has no interest in opera, but since several people are willing to listen to it, the radio is worth buying.
Only a few people listened for a while before the broadcast stopped.
Today's broadcast time should be over.
Zhang Meiling sighed: "What they said is really good."
She wondered whether she should buy a radio when she returned to Beijing, so that when Mr. Jiang went to work, she would have something to do and would not feel bored at home.
It looks like I’ll have to find another radio ticket when I get back.
Although Qi Huilan also liked to listen to it, she didn't seem to be that fascinated. When she was a child, she went to the theater with her grandfather Qi to watch a live version. The one on the radio sounded good, but it was not as shocking as the one in the theater.
With the radio, several people are reluctant to go out.
However, on the day Qi Mengmeng went to the hospital for a check-up, four of them followed her.
Liu Dajiang also borrowed a car from a friend.
Early in the morning, when everyone was going to work, Qi Mengmeng and a few others got into a jeep, and most of the neighbors saw it.
The day before yesterday, Qi Huilan and Zhang Meiling took candy to their neighbor's house. Now seeing Qi Mengmeng actually going out by car, they each had their own plans in mind.
Except for the tactless Aunt Gao, everyone else was determined not to offend Qi Mengmeng. If anything happened to her family, it would be troublesome for them.
Shen Cui even said to Aunt Gao, "Mom, you can't go to the Gu family anymore. If they cause trouble for Brother Hai, we won't care about you."
Aunt Gao's face changed, and her voice became sharper: "Xiao Hai is my only son, how dare you ignore me."
Shen Cui said angrily, "If you cause Brother Hai to lose his job, how can we control you?"
Aunt Gao snorted coldly, "I don't believe they are so capable of causing Xiao Hai to lose his job."
Chen Cui felt extremely powerless, but decided to wait for the man to get off work and let him talk. She didn't believe that Xiao Hai would let his mother go out and talk nonsense if she heard that it might affect the work.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law didn't say anything, Gao thought that she couldn't win the argument, so she smiled smugly: "It's just a car, right? It's not theirs."
"Mom, do you know anyone who owns a car?" Shen Cui asked, and without waiting for Aunt Gao to answer, she turned and left.
She is the daughter-in-law, and if she doesn't say anything, the men will be the ones to talk about Aunt Gao's affairs from now on.
Liu Dajiang drove the jeep all the way to the hospital.
Qi Huilan helped Qi Mengmeng get out of the car slowly and reminded her to be careful.
Qi Mengmeng smiled and said, "Mom, I'm fine. I can walk steadily."
"You have to be careful though." Qi Huilan held Qi Mengmeng's hand without letting go. Her eyes were fixed on the ground, afraid that something on the road would trip Qi Mengmeng.
Zhang Meiling followed closely on the other side, supporting Qi Mengmeng with her hands from behind.
Qi Huilan held Qi Mengmeng until they arrived at Dr. Feng's place.
Doctor Feng and Qi Mengmeng were already very familiar with each other. When he saw Qi Mengmeng being helped in, he immediately stood up and said, "Mengmeng, what happened?"
Qi Mengmeng quickly shook her head: "Doctor Feng, I'm fine, it's just that my mother is worried about me and insisted on supporting me."
When she spoke about the latter part, there was helplessness in her voice.
Only then did Dr. Feng sit down with peace of mind. She understood Qi Huilan's thoughts very well. Qi Mengmeng's belly was really a little big, which made her feel uneasy.
Qi Huilan helped Qi Mengmeng sit down on the chair, then took out an oil-paper bag from her bag and handed it to her.
"Doctor Feng, these are the snacks we brought from our hometown. Please try them. Thanks to you for taking care of our little Meng Meng over the past few months."
Patients’ families often send gifts to Dr. Feng. She has seen this too many times, and she has to accept them. If she does, the families will feel uneasy.
Doctor Feng nodded to Qi Huilan naturally: "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Qi Mengmeng. Although she is a twin, she is in good health."
This is not an empty statement. It is rare to see a pregnant woman like Qi Mengmeng come to the hospital for a check-up once a month.
At most, people come to the hospital for a check-up when they are pregnant, and some families even give birth at home.
There are not even a handful of pregnant women like Qi Mengmeng who come to the hospital for a monthly checkup every year.
Dr. Feng's hand was already on Qi Mengmeng's arm. Qi Huilan didn't say anything, for fear of affecting Dr. Feng's judgment.
She stared at the expression on Dr. Feng's face without blinking to judge Qi Mengmeng's condition.
Unfortunately, Doctor Feng's expression remained very calm. After taking Qi Mengmeng's pulse, she asked her to lie on the bed next to her, and she wanted to touch her belly.
Qi Huilan's expression became even more nervous. It was not until Dr. Feng finished the examination and asked Qi Mengmeng to get out of bed that she felt her hands were covered in sweat.
She stepped forward and helped Qi Mengmeng get down from the bed, and then hurriedly asked Dr. Feng, "Dr. Feng, are Mengmeng and the child okay?"
Doctor Feng smiled and nodded: "Very good, both the adults and the child are well taken care of, just wait for the birth."
Qi Huilan licked her dry lips and suddenly asked, "Doctor Feng, do you know whether the baby in Mengmeng's belly is a boy or a girl?"
