Seeing the temperature drop, Chu Tian saw that his son in his arms was not wearing much, and was afraid that he would get sick, so he stopped shopping and walked back.
"Is the tomato sauce ready?"
When Chu Tian returned home, Pingping was taken away by Old Lady Chu. He went to the kitchen and saw dozens of bottles of steamed tomato sauce on the table in the corner of the kitchen.
Yao Xiujuan shook her head. "Not yet. We need to steam three more pots to finish..."
After a pause, he continued, "Brother Tian, this is the only iron pot we have at home, and sometimes it always feels like it's not enough."
"I know, but it's not easy to exchange industrial tickets recently. I'll see when I can spend money to get a few, and then buy a bigger iron pot..."
Chu Tian has now discovered that the only pot he has at home is not enough. Sometimes, cooking, steaming, and porridge require two or three times of cooking. It doesn't matter in the summer, as the food can be eaten cold, but in the winter, it's no longer possible...
When sleeping at night, Yao Xiujuan lay on Chu Tian's chest and whispered, "Brother Tian, I started my period three months after giving birth to Pingping, but it has been delayed for several days this month and has not come yet. Do you think it will..."
Chu Tian was shocked and sat up suddenly, looking at Yao Xiujuan's belly in disbelief. "What do you mean? Are you pregnant again?"
"How can I be pregnant again?"
Obviously, clearly, the two of them didn't have many love exchanges. There were only two times this month, and both times were during Yao Xiujuan's safe period...
Yao Xiujuan sat up, not understanding why Chu Tian was so agitated. She looked at him puzzledly, "What's wrong? Being pregnant is a good thing. Pingping is more than seven months old now. When I was pregnant, Pingping and I were only a year apart in age. We can take care of them together. It's the same whether we take care of one or two... The smaller the age difference between them, the closer they will be..."
"Brother Tian, don't you want to have children anymore?"
"It's not about whether or not I want to have children..."
Chu Tian looked at Yao Xiujuan's puzzled expression, wiped his face, and explained helplessly, "I'm worried about your health. Continuous childbirth is not good for women. I think there should be at least one or two years between the two pregnancies to allow your body to recover better before considering the next one..."
Yao Xiujuan laughed when she heard this, "Oh, that's nothing. Take my sister-in-law Dashan for example. She got pregnant with her second child less than two months after giving birth to her first child. She got pregnant with her third child before her second child was a year old. Now she has her fourth child. Look, my sister-in-law Dashan is still doing well..."
"The most important thing is that I feel my body recovered very well after giving birth to Pingping. I don't have the back pain and sweating like I did after giving birth to Xinxin."
"So there is no problem getting pregnant now..."
“·····”
Chu Tian sighed inwardly and spoke after a while, "Then let's see a doctor another day to confirm whether I am really pregnant..."
After a pause, he continued, "Actually, it's good to get pregnant now. The baby will be born in May or June next year, and the confinement period won't be particularly painful..."
As the old saying goes, children are a gift from God. Now that they are here, we must accept them with joy, welcome them, and like them. Otherwise, they will have some small emotions, which will bother the pregnant mother during pregnancy and the whole family after they are born.
When Yao Xiujuan heard Brother Tian say this, she smiled and waved her hand, "Don't bother me. I want to go back to my mother's house in the next few days. There's a grandfather in my mother's team who can take pulses. I want him to help me take my pulse when the time comes..."
"That's fine. It just so happens that there's not much farm work to do these days except for the cabbages and radishes that haven't been harvested yet. How about I take you back tomorrow?"
Yao Xiujuan thought for a moment and nodded gently, "Okay, let's go back tomorrow!"
Early the next morning, Chu Tian told Old Lady Chu at the dinner table that he wanted to send Yao Xiujuan's mother back to her parents' home to stay for a few days.
Mrs. Chu fed Pingping another mouthful of egg custard and nodded. "Well, it's the off-season now and the weather isn't cold. It's only right for me to go back and spend time with my parents."
"My dear grandson, just go back with your wife. Grandma will look after the house for you!"
Chu Tian smiled, "Grandma, I'll be back after I send them off. I won't stay!"
Mrs. Chu was stunned when she heard this. "Aren't you staying overnight? Will you be able to catch the bus back in time?"
Chu Tian wiped his mouth and said, "Before I leave, I'm going to pay to borrow a phone from our company and call my father-in-law and his company. I'm going to ask them to let my father-in-law know and tell him to pick up Xiujuan and the others directly. I'll just be able to catch the bus back."
Mrs. Chu blinked. "Phone? The kind you can hear from far away?"
Chu Tian nodded, "Yes, I didn't know the phone number of my hometown commune at that time. If I knew, I would have called back then..."
Old Mrs. Chu waved her hands frantically, "Even if I know, I can't call. Making a phone call is definitely not cheap..."
Chu Tian smiled and did not explain how much it would cost to make a phone call now. However, he thought it would not be cheap. However, it was not unaffordable even if it was expensive.
Mrs. Chu nodded. "Well, well, then you should set off quickly. Don't miss the bus..."
"Brother Tian? Why are you and sister-in-law here?"
At the gate of the company yard, Sun Jianjun and Chu Tian's family of four happened to meet each other and were very surprised.
Chu Tian tied up the carriage and explained with a smile, "This is what happened. I was thinking about whether I could borrow the company's phone to call your sister-in-law's family..."
After a pause, he quickly added, "I'm not using it for free. I'm paying for the phone bill."
Sun Jianjun waved his hands. "Hey, what's the big deal? Why would the phone bill cost you that? We often call other companies to notify them of things! Come on, the phone is right in my office, you can just call directly..."
As she spoke, she pulled Chu Tian and walked towards the company yard. Chu Tian quickly turned around and nodded to Yao Xiujuan, then followed her in.
Xinxin sat next to Yao Xiujuan and looked up at her in confusion, "Mom, what does a phone look like?"
Yao Xiujuan shook her head. "Mom doesn't know either. Wait until your dad comes out and let him tell you what the phone looks like, okay?"
Xinxin nodded, "Yes, Daddy is the best, he must know."
Arriving at his office, Sun Jianjun took the phone out of the cabinet and, while installing the phone line, asked without looking up, "Brother Tian, do you know the phone number?"
Chu Tian, "I know, my brother-in-law told me when he came back last time!"
"That's fine. Okay, what's the phone number?"
As he said that, Sun Jianjun turned around and looked at Chu Tian.
“0991******”
I heard a beeping sound coming from the other end. After waiting for a long time, someone finally answered and called out, "Who is it..."
Sun Jianjun quickly handed the microphone to Chu Tian, "Brother Tian, it's connected."
