Su Xia's pregnancy life was actually no different from before. If there was any difference, it was that she had to pick up and drop off her two babies.
Chen Jianguo took over the job, and every day he was responsible for the child, Niu Niu on the back seat, Er Bao and Da Bao on the front and back of the front bumper.
This girl had mentioned to her parents that she wanted to go to and from school by herself.
Not to mention Su Xia, Chen Jianguo would agree a thousand times over.
My daughter is 13 years old (by Chinese reckoning) and 11 years old (by Western reckoning), and her birthday hasn't come yet.
Niu Niu's birthday is quite young, it's about half a month before the autumn harvest every year, on September 28th.
The eldest child's birthday is February 11th, and the second child's is May 5th.
Time flies, and soon it was Niu Niu's birthday.
Su Xia is 6 months pregnant, but her belly is much smaller than that of a normal 8-month pregnant woman.
Now, if anyone sees this and asks, and finds out it's been 6 months, they'll all guess it's a double whammy.
However, Su Xia's figure did not change much. After her first prenatal checkup, Su Xia changed her eating habits. In the morning, she usually ate porridge and eggs, or a steamed bun.
The main dishes in the middle are vegetables and protein, and soup is the main dish in the evening.
We prepared a lot of things at home for the extra meal, including cookies, shortbread, canned food, and cakes.
Su Xia also has plenty of food in her space, so she always has fruit and snacks available whenever she's at home, at work, or at school.
She had been controlling her sugar intake, so she has gained 20 pounds compared to before.
Consider that Su Xia's weight has always remained at 105 jin (52.5 catties), and with a height of 170 cm, she looks incredibly thin to everyone.
But these days there aren't any fat people.
She currently weighs 125 pounds, but she is expected to gain about 10 pounds more during her final birth.
Su Xia was still accepting of this weight. Chen Jianguo saw that her complexion was rosy and she didn't have any swelling problems, so he agreed with her eating habits.
However, this experience of being a soon-to-be father was quite an eye-opener for him, and his excitement was obvious to everyone.
Every day, the department store supply and marketing cooperative is a regular occurrence.
Here we go again to the steel mill. It's a common sight in southern Jiangsu. Ever since my sister got pregnant, my brother-in-law has practically become a steel mill worker.
"Brother-in-law, what should we get this time?"
The two went to find Wang Weiguo together. Although Brother Wang had a formal job in recent years, he had never stopped being a ticket scalper.
"It's Niu Niu's birthday today, come see if there are any rare tickets!"
Su Nan nodded. These days, only older sisters and brothers-in-law care about their children's birthdays.
Upon seeing the two, Wang Weiguo happily went up and patted them on the back.
"Jianguo, why don't you just come work at our factory!"
Chen Jianguo smiled, knowing that his family was joking.
I exchanged some regular coupons and saw pastry coupons, so I got two. I also got cigarette and alcohol coupons. This is for the old chief.
There's really nothing else. Seeing him looking away, Wang Weiguo just said, "Only you're complaining!"
Chen Jianguo said helplessly, "Brother Wang, how do you know how Xiaxia eats so many things!"
"Whose fault is that? It's just that you two are so capable. You got to eat meat instead of other people, that's a blessing!"
Wang Weiguo was speechless. His life was considered good, but he still needed to exchange his food every month, and he could only eat meat twice a month.
“But even if there were tickets, there’s nowhere to buy them in the county town!” Wang Weiguo had never seen such rare tickets before.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo could only accept it, thinking that he might as well go to the city just for a little food.
"Jianguo, don't forget my family's happy occasion two weeks from today!" Wang Weiguo reminded him again.
Chen Jianguo nodded, "I'll definitely go!"
Wang Weiguo said his daughter was of marriageable age, and that Jianguo and Xia Meizi were capable and, thankfully, had to come.
After Chen Jianguo came out, Su Nan gave him another vote, but Gu Jiefu refused.
"Niu Niu is my niece. It's her birthday, so what's wrong with her uncle giving her something?"
After watching the others leave, Chen Jianguo took his things back. These tickets were just 15 yuan short, but Chen Jianguo thought they were worth it.
The old commander had given him 300 yuan in total, which, to be honest, far exceeded the amount of supplies he received.
There were also gifts from his former superiors. Chen Jianguo chuckled as he thought of his wife's beaming smile every time he received them.
At home, Su Xia was chatting with Xia Yuzhen. She had given birth to a boy, and her in-laws didn't dare to have any complaints about her.
This is great! She's given birth to a son, the first grandson of the third generation. The mother is now honored because of her son, and she's treating her daughter-in-law like royalty.
"You seem to be doing very well!" Su Xia said, noticing her rosy complexion.
Xia Yuzhen first kissed her son, and then, listening to Sister Su's words, proudly raised her chin.
"Hmph—they did a good job, I'll just take my son back to my parents' home!" Anyway, my parents also dote on their grandson.
Su Xia rolled her eyes, and Xia Yuzhen noticed the big belly.
They even envied, "Sister Su, you're amazing, giving birth to twins at once!"
"You said you ate a lot and felt comfortable!"
"Ah... if that's the case, then let's say it's good!"
"Only two people came, so there's no way to choose!"
Xia Yuzhen pouted, "That's really true."
Then, remembering something, he started gossiping with Su Xia.
"They started arguing again this morning!" He pointed in the direction of the Qiao family's house.
Su Xia frowned. Ever since the Qiao family got a daughter-in-law, they've had a big argument every three days and a small argument every two days.
The soundproofing is good now, so she hasn't been able to get a good rest.
"What's the reason this time?"
Xia Yuzhen said sarcastically, "And about the pregnancy, after I gave birth, you also have twins here."
"That crazy woman Wang Hehua keeps pressuring Xiaolian and her mother-in-law every day. Lately, she's turned into a hen laying eggs, insisting that Qiao Zhenbang divorce his wife and remarry!"
Su Xia was speechless. Getting pregnant and getting a divorce—it's really something that people in this era would do.
Moreover, Qiao Zhenbang is now a full-time employee, and it seems the Qiao family wants to discard him after he has served his purpose.
"So, Xiaolian agrees?"
"How could I? When I arrived, I saw so many people from my family's parents' side!"
"Now you can only scream like ghosts!" Xia Yuzhen gloated.
Su Xia's lips curled up, and Miri also began to look forward to it.
Sure enough, the noise from next door soon alerted the two sisters.
Xia Yuzhen picked up her son, while Su Xia supported him with one hand and touched her belly with the other.
The two arrived in the courtyard shortly afterward, walked to a bench, and sat down.
"Sister Su, this spot is perfect!" Whether near or far, it's tiring.
Su Xia nodded, her big eyes shining with excitement.
Xiaolian from next door hid behind her parents' house, while her mother and sisters-in-law, facing off against Aunt Qiao, the rival, were subjected to a one-sided beating by her mother-in-law.
The older brothers started attacking their grandfather and father-in-law. As for the male, they had actually agreed to have the child first, and Zhenbang had explained this to his family.
But the Qiao family listened to her. Yesterday, several of them even discussed having Zhenbang divorce her. They said divorce was fine, but she could give up her job.
After she finished talking to Zhenbang that night, he still believed her, but this morning she was blocked at the door by the four parents of the Qiao family.
Just say, "What's the point of keeping a hen that lays eggs? Divorce her and we'll get you a new one!"
"Ahhh..."
Ahh....."
"In-laws, we didn't mean that, we were just trying to scare you a little..." The eldest male protagonist of the Qiao family touched his eyes, which were bruised and swollen.
Xiao Lian smiled sarcastically when she saw it. The Qiao family seemed kind on the surface, but after getting to know them, she realized that they were all petty, stingy, and jealous.
"Bullshit! Your grandson's a full-time employee now, trying to use you and then discard you? No way!"
The sound of fists colliding with flesh continued.
Su Xia and Xia Yuzhen listened to the wails, treating them merely as background noise.
