Later, every day, the neighbors would see Chen Jianguo's car with meat, ribs, pig's trotters hanging on it...
Even fish and chickens will be eaten.
"Comrade Chen, may I ask where you buy your fish?" asked Xia Yuzhen's husband.
In front of Chen Jianguo, I look a bit like a rookie.
"I just happened to run into the grocery store today. If you go now, you can still get some!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuzhen's husband quickly thanked her and hurried away.
Turning around, I bumped into my neighbor, Aunt Li. My eyes never left the fish.
"Jianguo...look...Su girl is all alone...can she even eat properly..." Aunt Li hadn't finished speaking.
Seeing that Chen Jianguo directly refused, she said, "Auntie, you can't possibly run into me now, but I'm my wife!"
Then they left, and a short while later the iron gate slammed shut.
"Hmph—I'm not pregnant, so I'm not afraid of eating too much and not being able to get it out!" After saying that, Aunt Li immediately looked around, found no one, and left in frustration.
Having finally encountered a fish, why not grab one?
I'm not feeling well. Su Xia on the right is pregnant and eats well every day. Xia Yuzhen from the Wang family on the other side is in confinement and eats meat every day.
There are three kids in my family who are always yelling and screaming.
When Su Xia saw the fish in Chen Jianguo's hand, she immediately thought of the carp and crucian carp with three scales in her space, which weighed about 100 jin in total.
Chen Jianguo now goes home for lunch every day because he's worried about Su Xia. Su Xia prepares lunch early, and of course, they'll have the fish for dinner.
Lunch was a bowl of steamed egg custard, a real bowlful.
Su Xia laid ten eggs. Luckily, she's capable and raises so many chickens; otherwise, they would have eaten Chen Jianguo dry sooner or later.
Egg cake is high in protein and vitamins, of course; stir-fried vegetables, anyway, any green vegetable is a vegetable.
Two dishes, plus some pickled vegetables, and a huge pot of steamed rice. I just couldn't resist wanting to eat this.
Chen Jianguo hadn't finished his first bowl of rice when he saw his wife was already on her second.
The dishes on the table are decreasing in size, while the belly is growing bigger like an inflating balloon.
He wondered, could it be that Niu Niu and the other two are like this?
He immediately felt sorry for his wife. At that time, he was working outside and she was all alone at home.
But when he finished the second bowl and was getting a third, Chen Jianguo still asked with concern.
"Honey, did you eat too much?"
Su Xia was taken aback, glancing at the rice in her hand, then at the half-eaten chicken cake and the vegetables.
She felt she had eaten too much, but what could she do? She was so hungry.
This breakfast consisted of two bowls of porridge, one steamed bun, and two eggs.
The porridge is the driest, the thinnest kind is left for the men and children.
But before 9 o'clock, she felt her stomach was empty again.
Overcome by her desire to eat, Su Xia took out her stored food from the snack street she had bought years ago.
Sometimes a bowl of snail rice noodles, two grilled sausages, stinky tofu with a scallion pancake, cold noodles with cola, a hamburger and fried chicken...
Anyway, since the end of her pregnancy sickness, half a month has passed, and Su Xia's appetite has never stopped.
In the afternoon, while my family was out, I posted pictures of cherries, durians, and mangoes on my social media...
Anyway, whenever she wanted to eat, she never stopped.
Hearing the man's words now, she felt that things were different from before.
She put down the bowl and asked nervously, "Did I really eat that much?"
Chen Jianguo swallowed hard and nodded vigorously.
"This is the third bowl already, Xiaxia. Did you eat like this when you were pregnant?"
Su Xia immediately shook her head. She didn't remember Niu Niu, but she didn't remember Da Bao or Er Bao.
No wonder she felt her face was much wider than usual when she washed her face today.
Touching my chin, I widened my eyes. How did I get a double chin?
Chen Jianguo's expression turned serious. "Xiaxia, let's go to the hospital to get her checked out!"
Su Xia pouted, touching her belly which looked like she was five months pregnant, but she seemed to be less than four months along.
I had some doubts, but I wasn't sure.
In the afternoon, Chen Jianguo went to Su Nan's house to ask his mother-in-law about Su Xia's pregnancy.
After hearing the description, Su's mother had no idea what was going on!
"What do we do now?" she asked with a worried tone.
"I want to take Xiaxia to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow!"
"Let's check. Da Bao, Er Bao, and Xia Xia have been there several times." Su's mother was still worried.
But she can't go herself, and now that Xiaoxue is at work, she takes care of the child every day.
"Jianguo, after you're done with the inspection, come over and let me know?"
"I know, Mother!"
Chen Jianguo was absent-minded at work in the afternoon, and everyone around him was speculating whether something had happened at home.
Xiao Li came over specifically to ask with concern, "Brother Chen, what's wrong at home?"
Chen Jianguo waved his hand, "It's nothing, your sister-in-law is pregnant!"
......
"No, bro, this isn't a good thing. Why are you acting like you've lost money?" Xiao Li was speechless.
He and his wife have been married for over half a year, and his wife still hasn't gotten pregnant. His family says there are two sisters-in-law around, and they grumble about it every day.
Chen Jianguo frowned. "Of course I'm happy! Your sister-in-law is eating a lot these days, and she even seems to want to go hungry. I'm a little worried!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li thought for a moment and suddenly realized what was going on, noticing that Brother Chen still looked worried.
"Speak out your guess: 'Brother Chen, is your wife's belly getting bigger quickly?'"
"How did you know?" Chen Jianguo asked in surprise.
Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief, then congratulated Chen Ge, saying, "Brother Chen, that's great news!"
Chen Jianguo was even more puzzled. Xiao Li didn't keep him waiting any longer, explaining, "I suspect your sister-in-law might be pregnant!"
...
Chen Jianguo opened his eyes wide, and tried to speak for a long time, but he couldn't say anything no matter how hard he tried.
When Chen Jianguo got home that evening, he kept thinking about what had happened at school, and his eyes never left Su Xia's belly.
Su Xia didn't care; all she could see and felt was her longing for the fish.
A large fish, weighing a full 6 jin (3 catties), was stewed with tofu, vermicelli, and bok choy.
A whole pot full, there were still 3 bowls of rice left over from lunch, one for each of Niu Niu, Da Bao, and Er Bao.
Su Xia and Chen Jianguo are eating steamed buns.
However, the steamed buns were delicious, soft and fluffy. Su Xia ate three in a row before realizing that Chen Jianguo hadn't finished any.
"Why aren't you eating?"
“Dad has been watching your belly!” Erbao added.
Then they ate heartily, and Niu Niu and Da Bao nodded in agreement.
Su Xia rolled her eyes, knowing the man was worried. That night, before going to bed, Chen Jianguo revealed Xiao Li's guess.
Su Xia wasn't surprised, because she knew that if she hadn't eaten together, her current eating habits would have been unacceptable.
The next day, Chen Jianguo first dropped off the three children, then came back and took Su Xia out.
"Hey? Isn't Jianguo at work?" Meeting Aunt Li on the way out was quite a coincidence.
Chen Jianguo locked the door, and Su Xia answered, "Yes, we're going to the hospital!"
Aunt Li was a little curious upon hearing this, but given her long experience, she knew that Su Xia was not the type to share.
Sure enough, "Auntie, let's go!"
After watching the two walk away, Aunt Li muttered, "Hospital, could it be for a prenatal checkup?"
Then, out of jealousy, she said, "Not getting pregnant? So pretentious! You're really showing off with just a little money!"
"Who are you talking about!"
"Oh my god...you scared me!" Talking behind someone's back is the least frightening thing.
Aunt Qiao pouted, "Big physique, fair-skinned and tall!"
