Chapter 457: Yike and his cousin's night talk 1
457 Night Talk 1
"Congratulations, sister-in-law, you are one month pregnant."
After taking the pulse of his second cousin Wang Pandi, Yike took the pulse of his eldest cousin as well, and found out that she was pregnant.
"This, how is this possible? We have taken measures." Wang Xiaohua stood up and said in disbelief.
"Sit down, and don't make any noise. Don't scare the baby in your belly." Wang Pandi hurriedly helped Wang Xiaohua sit down, with a look of envy on his face.
"Sister Yike, will this child be born? Will this child be born?" Wang Xiaohua was both happy and nervous.
"Sister-in-law, the baby is very healthy. You were healthy to begin with, but you ate poorly and were thin at that time, but you had no other problems. So after you came in, your body was in good shape, and there will be no problem with pregnancy."
"As long as I'm healthy, it's good to be healthy. I thought, uh..." Wang Xiaohua suddenly covered her face and cried.
"Don't cry, this is a happy event, a happy event, you should be happy, happy." Wang Pandi hurriedly comforted Wang Xiaohua.
"Sister-in-law, crying during pregnancy is not good for the baby."
As soon as the words fell, Wang Xiaohua stopped crying and raised her tear-stained face, "Really, really."
"Of course it's true. If you're not in a good mood during pregnancy, you may have a miscarriage or premature birth. After the baby is born, he or she will be irritable, cry a lot, and have a weaker body and be more prone to illness. So, mothers must be happy when they are pregnant. They can't be sad, upset, or cry."
Yi Ke only told Wang Xiaoying in a simple and easy-to-understand way that she might also suffer from depression, anxiety, etc.
"Sister-in-law, come and sit down. You must be happy every day from now on. It turns out that Uncle Han's wife in the village always has unstable pregnancies because of crying." Wang Pandi looked scared.
"Yes, I won't cry anymore. I want to be happy. Actually, I'm not crying because I'm sad. I'm just too happy." Wang Xiaohua drank a cup of water to calm herself down. "Yike, you don't know, Pan Di and I only married your cousin a year apart. The disaster was so severe in those two or three years that we didn't even have food to eat. How could we dare to have a child?"
"Yike, what my sister-in-law said is true. We don't dare to have a child for fear that we can't raise it. My mother-in-law also means the same thing, so we haven't had a child yet." Wang Pandi continued what Wang Xiaoying said.
"I understand that. In that situation, it's better for both you and the child not to have a baby. Thank you for your hard work." Yi Ke expressed his understanding.
"Alas," Wang Pandi sighed, "but the gossipers in the village always talk about this as if there is nothing to talk about. I am better off because I will get married a year later than my eldest sister-in-law. But my eldest sister-in-law is different. She is older and got married earlier, so those people can't help but talk about her."
"Those people are so mean. It's none of their business whether other people have children or not." Yi Ke said angrily.
"That's right. Later, my mother-in-law went around the village with a broom and beat those gossipers. Only then did no one dare to gossip anymore. But there are still some people who talk behind our backs." Wang Pandi said.
"The disaster year has passed. I wanted to get pregnant, but I just couldn't. I thought I really couldn't get pregnant, so you asked me to take measures. Sometimes I was lazy, and I didn't expect that I would get pregnant." Wang Xiaohua sighed.
"You couldn't get pregnant before, not because of any problem with you, but because of your weak body. Now that your body is better, it will be easier for you to get pregnant. Congratulations, sister-in-law."
"Yes, sister-in-law, congratulations. If my brother knew about this, he would definitely be happy."
"That's for sure. He couldn't have children in the past few years. He wanted to have a child in the past two years, but I couldn't get pregnant. In fact, he was also anxious, but he just didn't say it."
"Should we call our eldest cousin back and tell him this good news?" Yike asked.
"No need. It's rare for these grown men to get together at home to drink tonight. Let them drink." Wang Xiaohua said.
"Okay then. Sisters-in-law, I have something to ask you tonight." Ke said.
"What's the matter?" Wang Xiaoying asked.
"Tell me what it is. We will never delay anything we can do." Wang Pandi also said.
"It's not my business, it's yours." Yi Ke said, "New Year is coming, do you have any plans on when to go back?"
"We know this," Wang Xiaoying looked at Wang Pandi and said, "The three brothers discussed it some time ago and planned to tell you about it after Jiankang got married. I don't know when the company will have a holiday. If it's too late, can we leave early?"
"Yes," Wang Pandi added, "our home is too far away. Last time we left home, we took your car directly to the meeting point, and it took two days. The mountain road took several more days, almost ten days in total. So we are afraid that we will be too late to celebrate the New Year."
"You don't have to worry about this. Now we can take a boat instead of walking on the mountain road, so it won't take that long. You can get home in three or four days at most. I will ask my brother-in-law to drive you back, so you can get home in three days." Yike said.
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for my brother-in-law?" Wang Xiaoying said.
"What's the trouble with this? You are my family, how dare he complain about it?" Yi Ke said with a smile.
Wang Xiaoying and Wang Pandi didn't dare to think like that. Ma Youcai was the company manager, and they were still a little scared. "The company will hold a meeting tomorrow, and I'll tell you the holiday time. You can get your salary after the meeting. Those who want to go back should go to Tu Zhan to register. The company will arrange for those who are going back to leave in batches, and send everyone to the nearest place by boat to catch the bus." Yike explained the general arrangements.
"The company has really thought of everything. I heard those people were still worried about how to take so much food back. Now that's great, they don't have to walk the mountain road as they did when they came in. Everyone is so happy." Wang Pandyi said happily.
"Yes, everyone will be happy. Can we bring more food back? Will the boat be able to load it?" Wang Xiaoying thought more.
"The food can be delivered to everyone first, and then people can go out and take their own food." Yike said, but Yike had another idea in his mind, and decided to go back and discuss it with Ziyi to see if it is feasible.
"My two sisters-in-law, in addition to going home, there is another very important matter. You must listen carefully." Yi Ke said seriously.
"Next year, the company will solve the household registration problem for formal workers. That means transferring the rural household registration in the village to the company and changing it to urban household registration. From now on, the grain supply will be with the company, and there will be no grain distribution in the village."
"Stop, wait a minute, cousin, you mean those formal workers will become city dwellers in the future, is that what you mean?" Wang Pandi interrupted Yi Ke and asked.
"Yes, that's what I mean." Yi Ke nodded.
"That's a good thing. Then, Sister Yike, do you think we can become regular employees?" Wang Xiaoying asked cautiously.
