Chapter 86 Chatting
After learning she was pregnant, Li Zheng became even more cautious. She couldn't just pretend it didn't exist. Although she wasn't showing any signs of pregnancy yet, she felt as though she was, guarding it with extreme caution. She even felt like she was walking on a precipice.
No, we can't do that. It's too tiring.
She has been trying to stabilize her condition these days, and left the diet to Xiao Zi. Xiao Zi also went to ask Aunt Wang for advice. Aunt Wang also told her incessantly: "Eat less raw and cold food, or better not eat it. Also, fruits like hawthorn cannot be eaten. Some ingredients cannot be paired with other ingredients. Forget it, I'll write it down for you later." Aunt Wang also learned a lot of characters in the literacy class and knew the basics.
Ever since Li Zheng became pregnant, the mansion had been meticulously cleaned, especially the paths she often walked on, which were completely pebble-free, for fear she would bump into anything. As Li Zheng strolled through the garden, the nervous expressions of the servants made her even more nervous.
Li Zheng looked at the flowers in the garden, all in full bloom, and thought to herself, "Who's taking care of these flowers?"
"Madam, it's Uncle Hu. Originally, no one took care of this yard. Uncle Hu used to farm and couldn't stand seeing the land unattended, so he tinkered with it when he had nothing to do." As the head maid, she will help Madam take care of the people in the backyard in the future, but she has to know everything clearly. Thinking of this, A Yue became even happier. She is now a very qualified head maid.
Li Zheng looked at the flowers and saw that they were doing a pretty good job, much better than their previous listless appearance. He couldn't really appreciate the garden, but if they had to host a banquet or something, they couldn't just leave it alone. "Give Uncle Hu a bit more pay." He couldn't do two jobs for only one.
"Yes, ma'am." Seeing that Li Zheng was about to move forward, Ayue quickly supported her and carefully checked the ground to see if there were any stones or anything else. Perhaps it was because the people around her had been worried, so she didn't worry anymore.
Bao Ge'er was the most exaggerated. When he first told him, he said, "Really? I'm going to have a little nephew?"
Li Zheng smiled and touched his head, "Yes, but I don't know if he is my nephew now."
"Sister doesn't know either?" Baoger looked incredulous. When he was in the village before, Granny Li always said that his wife was pregnant with a boy. When the baby was born, it turned out to be a boy, so he naturally thought that his sister knew.
"Well, we'll have to wait until he comes out to find out." Bao Ge'er looked disappointed.
"Okay, but I still hope he is a little nephew." Baoger stared at her belly with sparkling eyes.
Well, their family doesn't tend to favor boys over girls. "Why a nephew? Don't you want a niece?"
Unexpectedly, Bao Ge'er said without thinking: "I don't want it. When my nephew comes out, I can take him out to play." If it's okay, I can still bully him, but if it's my niece, I guess it won't work. But I didn't dare say it out loud. If I did, I would definitely be scolded by my sister.
From then on, whenever Bao Ge'er went out, he would bring back a small gift, sometimes a candy man, sometimes a small toy. And every time he came, he would say to her belly, "My little nephew, you have to grow up quickly so that you can come out and play."
Time flew by. Every day, Xiao Zi would cook delicious meals for her in various ways, and her belly grew larger. Three months later, Li Zheng sent a message to a few close friends to announce her pregnancy. She might have just sent some gifts, but she knew their personalities and knew they would definitely come.
That day, Li Zheng packed up her things and prepared some food and drinks, ready to chat together and have a sisterly tea party.
"Oh, we're here right now, why did you prepare so many things?" Mrs. Yang knew that a lot of thought went into it when she saw the exquisite snacks on the table.
"It's okay. We still have to eat in the end." She knew what Mrs. Yang was worried about and she was tired.
"Okay, sit down now. You've only just started telling us after three months. Otherwise, we could have shared more experiences with you." Madam Wan pulled her aside, her eyes filled with worry. Madam Wan thought to herself that A Zheng and her sister, who had no parents and no husband, were raising the family alone, and now that she was pregnant, she must be feeling overwhelmed without the guidance of her elders. Just thinking about it made her heart ache.
"Okay, it's okay. Just look at Sister Azheng's fair and rosy complexion and you'll know she's doing fine. You guys shouldn't worry about me because I've become so fat." Mrs. Cheng touched her double chin in disgust.
Li Zheng only noticed what Mrs. Cheng said. No wonder she felt that Mrs. Cheng looked a little fatter. She didn't expect that she had gained weight. However, she didn't look ugly, just a little rounder.
Mrs. Yang said with disdain: "How dare you say that? We have told you so many times to control yourself, control yourself. Look at your situation, what else can we say?" I had discovered this problem when I visited her before, and I talked to her about it, but it seemed that she didn't take it to heart.
"Yes, eating too much is not good for your health." Mrs. Wan also agreed, but she didn't dare to say it too seriously, for fear that she would think too much and cause more trouble.
"Oh, what should I do? Ever since I became pregnant with him, my appetite has been getting better and better, and I feel hungry from time to time." Mrs. Cheng's belly bulged out, revealing that she was five months pregnant.
Li Zheng saw this and had some ideas. "Sister, next time you eat, try to eat a little bit of everything. Don't just eat one thing. If possible, try some whole grains, or nuts or walnuts when you're hungry. But the most important thing is to control your intake."
Mrs. Cheng saw that this suggestion was so good, much better than those who just said to control themselves, so she immediately held her and said, "Sister Zheng is the best. She lets me eat more." Li Zheng knew that the hungrier a person was, the more she tried to control him, the more likely he would eat more. It would be better to eat something to feel good, which would naturally be good for the body.
Mrs. Yang disagreed with this, "Why, we don't allow you to eat it."
"Oh, no, no." Mrs. Cheng also realized that she had said the wrong thing at this time, and quickly apologized. Mrs. Wan laughed out loud when she saw this. Mrs. Cheng also knew that she had been deceived, and turned around and pinched her, "Well, you, dare to lie to me."
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Ouch, I won't laugh anymore. My stomach hurts from laughing." Mrs. Cheng quickly touched her stomach.
