Zhang Weifang stayed at her husband's house for three days. Since it was her first year of marriage, she started to follow Li Hongru to visit the elders and relatives and friends in the village on the second day of the New Year.
I went back to my mother's home on the sixth day of the New Year and came back the same day.
At the beginning of the new year, the factory started work and Li Hongru went to work on the seventh day of the new year.
Zhang Weifang started living alone at home again. The days were a bit boring, and she gradually became familiar with the people around her.
Zhang Weifang also met a friend who she got along well with, Jia Ru, the eldest daughter-in-law of Liu Shuping's family next door. She had been married for two years and gave birth to a son, Goudan, who was just over one year old. Her main task was to take care of the child at home every day.
Liu Shuping is a coal miner, 40 years old. His wife is Liu Mi, also 40 years old. They have four sons: Liu Yiqing, Liu Yixi, Liu Yiji and Liu Yixiang.
The eldest son was only 23 years old. He married Jia Ru and had a son after more than two years of marriage.
The remaining three sons are 20, 18 and 16 years old, and are all single.
The first three sons did not like studying. After graduating from junior high school, they all used connections to get jobs in the same coal mine.
The fourth child is still young and is preparing to go to high school.
Their family is well off, with three main caves and two side caves.
Today's coal miners all use shovels to dig coal. The mines are very short and the workers can't even straighten their backs when digging coal.
I bent over every day, sweating profusely, my hands were covered with calluses, and my body and face were all black.
This job is dangerous and difficult, but it is not something that ordinary people can find.
City people are reluctant to work in the mines, and villagers envy the miners, so it is difficult for coal miners to find a partner.
Unless you don't work in the mines, you can work in logistics or dispatching.
Jia Ru is a woman of few words who gives people a very steady impression. She also knows her limits and does not come to Zhang Weifang's house every day. She occasionally brings her children over and does not annoy people.
Goudan is also a very cute child. He just learned to walk and he wanders around like a little penguin every day, which makes Zhang Weifang envious.
One morning in February, Zhang Weifang suddenly retched several times while brushing her teeth, and her heart started beating uncontrollably.
Zhang Weifang had a hunch that she might be pregnant, so she quickly exchanged a pregnancy test stick in the system mall and tested it.
In the seconds she waited for the test results, her heart was beating wildly and her eyes were fixed on the two red lines.
Unfortunately, only one red line lit up, while the other was still dark. Zhang Weifang felt very nervous and indescribable.
She intuitively felt that the result was false because she had a strong premonition that she was really pregnant.
The period a few days ago was very light, which was consistent with pregnancy. In addition, she had dry heaves in the morning, so she thought she should wait a few more days to see the situation.
After Li Hongru came back, Zhang Weifang told him this speculation. Li Hongru was happy at first, but then quickly calmed down.
"Weifang, there's no rush about having a baby. Don't feel stressed." He thought that Zhang Weifang was under too much pressure, so she thought she was pregnant.
Especially since the test results are out, he is more inclined to believe that this is a misunderstanding.
In the next few days, Zhang Weifang carefully protected her stomach every day and even stopped eating snacks like instant noodles.
She also bought some folic acid, calcium tablets for pregnant women, milk powder for pregnant women and the like and started eating them, looking like she was pregnant.
Li Hongru was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, thinking that she was a little too anxious, but for his own good life, he cooperated.
These past few nights, Zhang Weifang stayed two meters away from him when he went to bed, for fear of pressing on his stomach. Li Hongru had been sleeping alone for more than ten days.
That morning, Zhang Weifang suddenly vomited while eating cold kelp shreds.
She used to like eating these pickles very much, so she bought several bags through the system. Who knew that she suddenly couldn't stand the taste.
Zhang Weifang rinsed her mouth, brushed her teeth, put on her bag and went to the county hospital.
Her home is very close to the hospital, only a 20-minute walk away. During the first check-up, she was afraid that the result would not be what she wanted, so she went to the hospital alone.
At that time, the hospital did not have any ultrasound machines, so the doctor could only rely on taking the pulse to get the results.
Traditional Chinese medicine was very popular at that time, and the doctors were all respected and older people.
The female doctor in her fifties saw that Zhang Weifang was very nervous and smiled to comfort her:
"Don't be nervous, pregnancy is a very natural thing."
The doctor took the pulse on both hands, and the smile on his face gradually widened as he finished.
"Congratulations, you're exactly one month pregnant, your pulse is strong and the baby is healthy."
"Really? Thank you, doctor. Is there anything I should be careful about?"
"Oh, you have a good physique. If possible, eat more good food. Also, don't have sex in the first three months. After you become pregnant, bend over less and don't overwork."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
On the way home, Zhang Weifang was very excited. Her intuition was so accurate. She didn't expect that she was really pregnant.
Thinking of the baby in her belly, she quickly slowed down her pace.
Looking at the green branches on the roadside and the peach blossoms blooming in the distance, Zhang Weifang's heart was cheering. Spring is such a good season, everything is reviving and full of vitality.
To celebrate her pregnancy, Zhang Weifang walked around the street in a good mood, releasing the happiness in her heart before returning home.
After the excitement, she quickly calmed down. It was almost noon, so she decided to cook first.
Zhang Weifang didn't want to eat anything, so she made some simple noodles and fried eggs with tomato sauce.
Li Hongru returned home as usual. He felt strange when he saw Zhang Weifang smiling.
Zhang Weifang has been in a bad mood these days and doesn't like to talk to him, let alone cook. Did she come to her senses today?
"Weifang, are you in a good mood today?"
"Well, I went to the hospital today. Guess what happened?"
Now it was Li Hongru who was feeling uneasy. He asked nervously:
"Weifang, you're not really pregnant, are you?"
"Yes, I told you I was pregnant, but you didn't believe me."
"Ah...hahaha...really? Oh, are you tired? Sit down quickly. Leave the housework to me from now on. You take a rest."
The two of them were so happy that they remembered they hadn't eaten yet. They ate their meal in a daze. Li Hongru then asked:
"Did the doctor tell me anything to be careful about?"
“Eat more nutritious food and work less.”
Li Hongru thought about it and felt that it was not safe to leave her alone at home, so he said:
"How about letting Hongqin take care of you?"
