Chapter 94
Grandma Qian didn't know about Dr. Fang's confusion and depression, nor did she care.
After sending away the two groups of people, Xu Di spent her days peacefully taking care of her pregnancy.
Her job is not tiring. Except for a few busy days at the end of the month, it is quite easy at other times.
The main thing is that Xu Di does things without procrastination and completes the day's work on the same day.
"Xiao Xu, how many months have you been pregnant?"
"Sister Tang, it's been more than six months."
Xu Di finished the report and stood up to stretch her body. The child might have woken up and kicked her twice with his legs.
"Puff it up!"
Meng Jiao happened to get up to stretch her body, and was stunned to see Xu Di's belly suddenly bulge out.
"What's bulging?"
Sister Tang was startled by Meng Jiao's high voice and stood up as well.
"Meng Jiao saw my belly bulge a little. Maybe the baby woke up and moved around in my belly."
"Oh, I thought it was something. Xiao Meng, you are not married yet, so you don't understand. When a child is in the mother's belly, it will not stay still.
When I was pregnant with my second child, the little boy was not obedient at all. After five months, he was punching and kicking in my stomach all day long.
Now, when they are seven or eight years old, it is time to get serious and annoying. ”
Sister Tang is an experienced person, and she gave Meng Jiao some common sense about pregnant women.
"Doesn't that hurt?"
Meng Jiao couldn't imagine how uncomfortable it would be to have such a big belly with a restless baby inside.
"How could it not hurt? My wife was sleeping and was woken up by the kick of the baby in her belly.
Now, when I think about it, I still complain a little. ”
As the only gay man and a new father who just experienced his wife's pregnancy and childbirth, Wang Wei has a lot to say.
"After hearing what you said, I don't want to go on blind dates anymore. What's the good of getting married? There's endless housework to do, and you have to get pregnant and have children in the future, and your figure will be shabby."
Meng Jiao found it scary to think about it. Why do women have to get married?
"Xiao Meng, if you say so, then if we don't get married and have children, then there will be no one left.
Although raising a child is hard, when you look at the child’s cute smiling face, you will feel that it is all worth it. ”
Sister Tang has three children, two boys and one girl. It’s a real mess and I want to curse every day.
Soon the two sons started fighting, and soon the girl started crying, saying that her brother had taken her candy. Soon, three children beat up the neighbor's child together...
"But isn't that how everyone gets here?"
Sister Tang is in her thirties. She has been married for more than ten years and lives a similar life every day. She doesn’t think there is anything wrong with it, right?
"Sister Tang, don't you feel wronged?"
Meng Jiao looked at Sister Tang angrily, thinking that she was hopeless.
"Grievance, what's wrong with you?"
"Both husband and wife have to go to work. The woman has to be busy cleaning the house, washing clothes, cooking and taking care of the children. She is busy from the moment she opens her eyes until she closes her eyes to sleep at night. She has no free time.
As for the man, after work, he sits there like a big boss.
She neither helps with housework nor takes care of the children. She can't even pour herself a glass of water and has to ask her wife who is cooking in the kitchen to pour her a glass of water.
Don’t you feel wronged to live like this? Why? We all go to work and earn money, so why should women do these things? ”
Meng Jiao thought about how her mother was busy from morning till night every day, and her father would always find fault with her, saying that the food was too salty, too bland, or that the clothes were not ironed properly...
Her mother is like an old nanny. After taking care of her husband, she also has to worry about her son and grandson. It's endless. Even Yugong is not as busy as her mother.
Therefore, Meng Jiao didn't want to get married at all and was against it from the bottom of her heart.
Xu Di is younger than her, and now her belly is getting bigger. She doesn't envy him at all, but instead feels that Xu Di is quite pitiful.
Poor Xu Di, listening to Meng Jiao's words, felt emotional in her heart that this girl was born too early. If she had been born a few decades later, she would have lived a free and easy life.
What a pity. It is the early 1970s now, and it seems unlikely that we will not get married and have children.
Not to mention the urging of parents and aunts and uncles, the leaders of the unit will also pay attention to the personal problems of employees.
As for Sister Tang, she didn't know how to answer Meng Jiao's series of questions.
Does she feel wronged? Of course she does, but what can she do? She can't get a divorce.
That’s definitely not possible. You still have three children. Besides, your family members and leaders at work will talk to you.
“Pooh…”
Sister Tang sat in her seat and secretly spat a few times. How could she have been led astray by Xiao Meng? She's living a good life, why is she thinking about divorce?
Fortunately, it was time to get off work, so everyone just listened to Meng Jiao's words.
"Xiao Meng, although what you said is not without reason, you should still say less in the future, especially when you are on a blind date."
Sister Tang looked at Meng Jiao who was sitting in a daze in her seat and kindly reminded her.
No matter what the reason is, she is so resistant to marriage. However, there are many things that we have to do even though we know they are unfair and unfair.
Everyone in the office left, and Meng Jiao packed up her things and prepared to leave.
Her father arranged a blind date for her and she had no right to refuse.
Forget it. I can’t resist anyway. So I’ll just live like a zombie.
Meng Jiao tidied her clothes, carried her bag, and went to the place they had agreed to meet.
As for Xu Di, he was carrying a bag and walking home. At the entrance of the alley, he smuggled out some vegetables and took them home.
After May Day this year, a small market, which was a black market, appeared in the alley behind their department store.
I don’t know if they have a backer, but the black market has existed for several months and there are no red armbands to arrest people.
It is open on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays every week, and sells some daily necessities, no big items.
Xu Di knew about it, but had never been in there.
She doesn't sell anything outside now and won't set foot in places like that.
There were a lot of vegetables in the bag, and Xu Di had a bit of difficulty carrying them.
"Grandma, Aunt Wu, I'm back."
"Xiao Di is back. Oh, what are you carrying? It's so heavy."
Grandma came over to open the door and took the thing from Xiaodi's hand. She didn't expect it to be so heavy.
“On the way back, I saw someone selling vegetables, which looked quite fresh, so I bought some more.
Especially the beans, they are really delicious. If you can’t eat them, you can dry them into vegetables. ”
There are a lot of vegetables in Xu Di's space. She thought that taking advantage of the existence of the black market, she could find an excuse to bring back the vegetables.
Dry more vegetables and save them for eating in winter.
"Next time you meet a vegetable seller, come back and call me and your Aunt Wu. Don't carry it back by yourself. It's too heavy."
Grandma Qian also knew about the black market, which was set up by a relative of the Revolutionary Committee.
Everyone knows this, but when people are in power, everything they do is right.
"I know, grandma. This is just a coincidence. It would be a pity to miss this opportunity."
Aunt Wu took the vegetables out of the bag. They were so fresh and juicy, they must have been picked recently.
"Aunt Qian, tomorrow, cut these beans into shreds, dry them, and save them for winter."
"Okay, tomorrow after Xiaodi goes to work, we'll go together."
Xu Di brought back about five or six pounds of beans, and less of the other things.
In the evening, Xu Di ate half a plate of tomatoes mixed with sugar. It was really delicious.
Before going to bed, I entered the space and found that the rice was almost ripe. The cotton bolls are already bigger than fists. In ten days or so, they should be ready for picking.
After coming out of the space, Xu Di prepared to go to bed.
She now lives a very regular life, goes to bed early and gets up early, and is in good spirits.
