◎It solved the urgent problem!◎
The next morning, she still couldn't eat breakfast. Strangely, as soon as she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she miraculously felt better and could eat a lot.
Finally, she had no choice but to make easy-to-carry cakes or biscuits at home every morning and bring them to the supply and marketing cooperative for breakfast.
It was not until Wei Xiaodi finished the college entrance examination that Wei Xuan's strange morning sickness completely disappeared. In the past half month, Wei Xuan did not lose much weight, but even gained a few pounds. Poor Jiang Che, because he was too worried about her, he lost a lot of weight and almost lost all the flesh on his face.
He pretended to be pitiful and told Wei Xuan that he had lost weight, but Wei Xuan didn't feel sorry for him. She even held his face and said with envy: "Why did you lose weight first? My face is almost round from eating too much."
Jiang Che gently slapped away her hand that was playing tricks on his face: "Do you still have a conscience? I'm so worried about you that I can't eat or sleep well, and you don't even say that you care about me."
Wei Xuan thought he looked cute when he was angry, so she couldn't help but lean over and kiss him: "You look even more handsome this way."
Wei Xuan didn't lie. The thinner Jiang Che looked more resolute and mature.
Jiang Che was a little embarrassed, so he stood up and said stubbornly, "Okay, I'll go out and see if the meal is ready."
...
...
Wei Xuan was left alone in the room, laughing so hard that she fell backwards on the bed.
July 7th was the day of the college entrance examination. On this day, there was movement in the yard of the Wei family before dawn.
Mother Wei got up in the dark, washed her face, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her youngest son.
Before breakfast was out of the pot, the Wei family members got up in groups of three or four. The eldest brother Wei rubbed his eyes and came to the kitchen.
"Mom, why did you get up so early?"
While taking the boiled eggs out of the pot and soaking them in cold water, Wei's mother instructed her eldest son: "Go take out the steamed buns from the pot and bring them to the main room. Then go see if your brother has woken up. If he hasn't woken up, wake him up and have dinner. We have to go to the county town later, don't be late."
"Oh, okay."
The college entrance examination was over three days later. Wei felt that he had done well. When Wei Xuan called back, the atmosphere at home was quite good.
As soon as Wei Xuan heard her mother's voice, she felt relieved: "Mom, it seems that my brother did very well in the exam!"
"Don't say anything for now. It's too early to say anything now since the results haven't come out yet. But Xiaolong himself said he has a good chance of passing the exam." Wei's mother was always cautious and was afraid that if she told anyone about it and he didn't pass the exam, she would be laughed at.
Wei Xuan understood her feelings and temporarily put aside the topic and asked something else: "Did Xiaolong say which school he wanted to apply to?"
"He did." Mother Wei thought about it carefully before continuing, "It seems to be some normal university. He said he wanted to be a teacher."
Teacher, it's pretty good. You can get a stable income regardless of the weather, and there are winter and summer vacations every year. Especially now, being a teacher is a good job. No wonder Wei's mother was so happy when she talked about it.
Wei Xuan was about to hang up after finding out what was going on at home, but her mother turned to her and asked, "Your brother has finished the college entrance examination, and now all he has to do is wait for the results. I can't help you much, and you have to go to work while pregnant. Otherwise, I can go over to your place and help you cook and do housework."
Wei Xuan didn't care, but it was busy in the fields at that time, and she was afraid that her sisters-in-law would have objections if Wei's mother came.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Mom, why don't you wait for Xiaolong's grades to come out and ask him to take you here. It would be a good opportunity for Xiaolong to come here and take a look at the school."
"Okay, then you should be more careful. Being pregnant is different from normal life."
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Wei Xuan went home and told Jiang Che about it.
My mother-in-law and brother-in-law are coming, so the house has to be cleaned up.
The next day, when Wei Xuan got home from get off work, she saw Jiang Che and his men carrying things into the house.
"What is this for?"
Jiang Che instructed everyone to put their things in the living room. After seeing them off, he turned around and told Wei Xuan, "Didn't you say yesterday that mom and my younger brother were coming over? Then we should make a place for them to sleep."
As he said this, he walked to the main room and pointed at the things that had just been brought in, saying, "Look, this is the bed I asked a friend to find for me today. It's not bad, isn't it? Clean it up and put it in the main room. When the time comes, put up a curtain to separate it, and it can be used as a small room."
In fact, the main hall is really big, and it won't look cramped even if there is a small room separated from it. Because Wei Xuan and Jiang Che are the only two people at home, even if they occasionally invite guests, there are not many people, so there are not many things in the main hall. According to Jiang Che's idea, now all he needs to do is move the round table and chairs originally placed in the middle to the right, which is not difficult.
He gave Jiang Che a thumbs up and said, "Okay, you did a good job. I'll give you credit for this."
Jiang Che immediately climbed up the pole: "Is there any reward?"
Knowing that she couldn't be too nice to this guy, Wei Xuan put away her smile and turned away: "I'll reward you for installing the curtains earlier!"
"No, wife." Looking at Wei Xuan's ruthless back as she walked away, Jiang Che had to put away his grievances and diligently complete the task assigned by his wife.
It is also easy to pull up a curtain. Just hammer a nail into the wall on both sides and then pull it up with a steel wire.
Wei Xuan returned to the room, opened the cabinet, looked inside, sighed, and closed the cabinet again.
Where would she find the cloth to make curtains? Even if it was old cloth, there wouldn’t be enough at home!
After Jiang Che finished hammering the nails and returned to the room, he saw his wife, who had just smiled, sitting in bed with a sad face. He deliberately said to her, "Wife, you can't look sad now, otherwise what if your children learn from you in the future? Tell me what's wrong, and I'll find a way for you."
Wei Xuan didn't want to joke with him. She lifted her eyelids, looked at him and said, "We don't have enough cloth at home."
Jiang Che became concerned when he heard about this. Could he let his wife and children have nothing to wear? Impossible!
So he asked Wei Xuan: "How much do you need? I'll find a way to get it for you. You can use the cloth you bought before to make your own clothes first. There's no rush for the child." There was still some time before the baby was born, and he would definitely be able to buy the cloth to make clothes for the child in this time.
Section 30
Knowing that he had misunderstood, Wei Xuan had to explain everything to him again.
"Oh, wife, are you a little bit stupid? Why do you need cloth to hang curtains at home? How much cloth would be wasted? I have already spent ten dollars to ask someone to buy some plastic cloth. I will get it back tomorrow. You can just hang it up when the time comes."
"Oh, look at my brain." Wei Xuan patted his head in annoyance.
Perhaps it is true that pregnancy makes people stupid for three years. Wei Xuan clearly felt that her memory was not as good as before recently. Sometimes she would forget what she was muttering a second ago as soon as she turned around.
As for today's incident, when she heard Jiang Che say that she wanted to hang a curtain, she naturally thought of a cloth curtain, and didn't even think of other ways to do it. Fortunately, Jiang Che reminded her, otherwise she didn't know how long she would have been stuck in this dilemma.
The problem was solved and Wei Xuan was no longer depressed. Jiang Che breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his wife finally smile. He was not afraid of anything now, but he was afraid that his wife would be unhappy.
Less than half a month after the main room was decorated, Wei Xuan received a letter from Wei Xiaodi, saying that Wei Xiaodi had received his admission letter and that his family was going to prepare a banquet for the villagers to celebrate his admission to university.
After the banquet, he would bring Wei's mother to Beijing and ask Wei Xuan to call home or write a letter to give them their address in the city.
Wei Xuan saw that the letter said the family wedding banquet would be held in August, which was still a few days away. She did not rush to call home, but instead weighed a few pounds of candy at the supply and marketing cooperative, and then wrote a letter and sent it back. She also put twenty yuan and a few meat coupons in the letter, explaining that it was a reward for Wei Xiaodi for getting into college.
When the Wei family received her letter, they were discussing what to do for the banquet. There was no shortage of vegetables at home in the summer, but it was really difficult for rural people to buy meat. Except for the end of the year when they could get some meat by the centimeter, they rarely had meat on other days. And it would be inappropriate to hold a banquet without a meat dish.
The chickens at home are all laying hens, so Wei's mother was reluctant to kill them.
Seeing that his family was in such a difficult situation because of him and he himself could not help, Wei Xiaodi said that there was no need to hold the banquet.
Not to mention Wei's father and mother, even the three daughters-in-law of the Wei family disagreed when they heard him say that. They had finally passed the exam, and they were the first one in the surrounding villages. How could they not do it?
But what can we do?
Just when they were worrying about it, Wei Xuan's money and tickets arrived. This was really a timely relief for the Wei family and solved their urgent needs.
Mother Wei was relieved to see her son and daughter-in-law staring at the tickets in her hand and smiled. She immediately warned them, "Your younger sister is still pregnant. These are the food she saved from her own mouth. You must remember your younger sister's kindness, especially you, Xiaolong. Your sister did this for you. Don't forget it when you become successful in the future."
Wei Xiaolong was about to cry after hearing his mother's words. He nodded vigorously: "Yes, Mom, I know. I will treat my sister well in the future." However, his mind was full of the miserable scene of Wei Xuan who was reluctant to eat or drink with a big belly in order to save money.
But the truth was, at this moment Wei Xuan was directing Jiang Che to wash and cut vegetables while drooling over the braised pork in the pot.
Knowing that the Wei family was going to hold a banquet, Wei Xuan thought it was more convenient for them to buy meat from Wu Yun, so she collected all the remaining meat tickets at home and sent them to the Wei family.
Seeing the meat ticket, Wei Xuan suddenly wanted to eat braised pork. Ever since she became pregnant, they were afraid that she would have a poor appetite, so the family had been eating light meals. Even if there were meat dishes, they mostly consisted of lean meat, or soups like chicken and fish soup. She hadn't eaten heavy meat dishes for a long time.
But because it was quite late when she brought it up yesterday, she didn't get to eat the braised pork that she had been dreaming about for two days until tonight.
After eating three or four pieces, Wei Xuan finally felt satisfied. Seeing her enjoying the meal, Jiang Che's own appetite also improved. The two of them finished the whole plate of braised pork before putting down their bowls and chopsticks in satisfaction.
It was Jiang Che's job to clean up the dishes. After he finished taking a shower and returned to the room, he began to do prenatal education for the baby in his belly, which was also taught by Wei Xuan.
Wei Xuan told Jiang Che that the baby can also hear them talking when it is in the belly. If you greet him often, he will remember your voice and will stick to you when he is born.
Then Jiang Che believed it, and now whenever he had time every day, he would lie on Wei Xuan's belly and talk to the baby inside. When there was nothing to say for a long time, Wei Xuan would ask him to tell stories. For this purpose, Jiang Che even went to a purchasing station to buy a storybook and brought it back, and read it to Wei Xuan's belly every night.
I don’t know if the child listened or not, but Wei Xuan fell asleep every day listening to Jiang Che telling stories, and slept soundly.
