Chapter 255: Stepmother is in trouble
Seeing that Second Uncle was unhappy, Lin Wanxia probably guessed what happened.
She regretted giving those two leftover steamed buns to Lin Gensheng.
She should have fed them to geese.
At least geese not only lay eggs but also guard the house after eating.
She said, "Second Uncle, if you don't want to go home these days, just stay here. I'll buy you some rice and noodles when I go to pick up Xingxing later."
Second Uncle shook his head, "No, I'll go home after feeding."
If he doesn't go back for a long time, I'm afraid that the house will not be his.
But there is no need to say this to Lin Wanxia.
Lin Wanxia didn't care what Second Uncle thought, nodded and turned to leave.
"Xia Xia."
Lin Wanxia turned around.
Second Uncle hesitated.
"Second uncle?"
"Xia Xia, Xingxing is a good child. After all, she is not born from your belly. Now she is still young and depends on you. When she grows up and knows her own life experience, she may be cold or warm to you. You... you should have your own child as soon as possible."
Lin Wanxia frowned. She knew in her heart that Second Uncle was doing this for her own good, but she didn't like him saying this about Xingxing, so she said in a light voice: "Thank you, Second Uncle, I know what I am thinking. I believe that whether it is my child or not, Xingxing will definitely not be an ungrateful child in the future."
A child with a father who sacrificed his life for the country, a mother who values love and friendship, and a foster father who is a soldier, if he grows up to be an ungrateful person, it must be the failure of her education that can make such a good child go astray.
Second Uncle sighed and said nothing more.
He knew that Lin Wanxia didn't want to hear him say this.
But it is not easy to be a stepmother.
There are stepmothers in the village, so which one is better?
If you catch a cold or have a fever, the first thing you should do is to blame the stepmother for not taking good care of you.
If you are naughty, your biological mother will beat you, but if your stepmother beats you, she will be accused of mistreating her child.
Xia Xia is still young and doesn't understand the severity of it!
Lin Wanxia may not know these things at first, but during the time she stayed in Xiangyang Island, she understood the luck of herself and Xingxing.
Before leaving, she met Tan Qiuyun and they chatted for a while.
Tan Qiuyun said, "When a woman gets married, she will think about treating the man's mother as her own mother, but in the end, few mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can get along well. The same is true for stepmothers.
When I first agreed to Lao Liu, I also thought about raising Tangtang well and making the family happy.
As a result, before I even became a stepmother, I heard people in the village pointing fingers at me all day long.
Later, no matter what I did when raising Tangtang, I made mistakes. It was right to raise her well, but if there was anything wrong, she would be criticized . It was a stepmother and so on.
What's more outrageous is that Tangtang believed what the villagers said and was very hostile to me. She would always say that I was a bad person who wanted to find her biological mother.
Even Lao Liu was on guard against me. He was afraid that I would treat Tangtang badly, so he refused to let me have a child...
I didn't really want a child, but I really couldn't stand people talking about me behind my back.
They said I was a 'chicken that doesn't lay eggs', 'evildoers will be punished'..."
In short, people's hearts don't turn cold overnight.
Slowly, Tan Qiuyun became what people thought a stepmother should be like.
"You've been a stepmother for a short time. You'll see in a few years. Especially after you have your own children, you'll know how hard you've been."
This was the last sentence Tan Qiuyun said to Lin Wanxia.
Lin Wanxia didn't know whether it was a curse or a warning.
It cannot be said that she does not take it to heart at all, but she can only say that she will do her best and leave the rest to fate.
She has never been a mother, so she does not know what the difference will be between treating her own children and the stars in the future.
But now, she is willing to give the stars the best in the world.
***
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and May Day is coming soon.
Labor Day has existed for a long time, but it has always been a one-day holiday, and on weekends, it is only two or three days.
It became a long May Day holiday in 1999.
However, Labor Day has always been a holiday worth celebrating.
It's just that now ordinary people don't think of traveling, and for them, making money is the most important thing.
So Lin Wanxia said that all workers will get triple wages for the three days of May Day.
In May, the shrimps in the shrimp pond will be sold again.
After Lin Wanxia and Xie Lijun confirmed the date, they notified Lei Yanjun.
Lin Wanxia is three months pregnant and her belly is not noticeable yet. Only if you look closely can you see that her belly is slightly protruding.
The ten months of pregnancy are not based on the ten months of the solar calendar or the lunar calendar, but forty weeks. Every four weeks counts as one month.
Otherwise, if you calculate it accurately, the pregnancy is not ten months but nine months.
In addition, many people give birth half a month earlier than the expected date of delivery, so they don’t even have nine months.
The belly is not noticeable, but the pressure on the waist and back is obvious.
Sitting or standing for a long time will cause back pain.
At first it is back pain, and if you don’t get enough rest in time, the pain will spread from the waist to the back.
It hurts like needles.
In addition, the taste changes a lot.
It has changed to the point that Lin Wanxia herself is disgusted with herself.
Suddenly I want to eat canned hawthorn, I want to eat it so much that my saliva is flowing down, and I can’t sleep at night if I don’t eat it.
Lin Wanxia had to go to the island city to buy it.
But halfway through the journey, she no longer wanted to eat canned hawthorn and wanted to eat watermelon.
When she bought watermelon, she wanted to eat cake.
No wonder pregnant women like to torture others.
In fact, they can't help but torture others, even themselves.
Every time this happens, Lin Wanxia misses Jiang Sinian especially.
It has been three months since the two of them last met.
During this period, they also exchanged several letters, but Lin Wanxia did not tell him that she was pregnant.
Thinking that after three months, when this batch of seafood is shipped, she will sail over to give him a surprise.
Lin Wanxia touched her belly, "What do you think your father's reaction will be when he knows you exist?"
Will he be happy?
Or will he oppose her pregnancy like Old Liu did?
Lin Wanxia shook her head. Jiang Sinian was not that kind of person. Besides, he kept saying that he wanted a daughter who looked like her.
But.
Could it really be a daughter?
Lin Wanxia looked at the noodles in front of her with half a bottle of vinegar added, and she was a little skeptical.
They say sour boys and spicy girls.
Of course, that's not necessarily the case.
After all, Lin Wanxia's taste is not stable now.
When she wants to eat sour food, she doesn't feel sour when she eats raw lemon.
When she wants to eat spicy food, she can chew chili sauce dry.
When she wants to eat something light, she eats two bowls of white rice without any salty dishes.
When she wants to eat something heavy, no barbecue or hot pot is tasty enough.
Of course, since this is Lin Wanxia's first time as a mother, she is still more cautious about what she eats, and she never eats junk food. When she is
really hungry, she makes her own spicy hot pot .
Starting from boiling butter, she ensures that she eats healthy ingredients.
On the other hand, in 1985, large-scale farming had not yet begun, and most agricultural products were green and harmless organic vegetables.
She planted a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden, and now they have all grown thin membranes.
In short, Lin Wanxia takes good care of herself.
It's just that when I see the stars, I always feel guilty and can't control it.
I want to say it, but I dare not tell him.
I thought I would wait a little longer, wait for Jiang Sinian to come back, and tell them both at the same time.
However, man proposes, God disposes.
