Chapter 95
The Spring Festival holiday goes by quickly, and the winter vacation this year is not as long as in the 21st century. The adults go to work for a few days, and the children also go to school.
Since Su Xiaoxiao started fetal movement, the cubs have one more daily routine, which is to interact with their younger brother/sister. They have to take turns lying on Su Xiaoxiao's belly every day to interact with the baby in her belly. It's time to give up.
The little rice ball was lying on her mother's stomach again today: "Call my sister, call my sister, I'm a brother, please answer when you hear me!"
Su Xiaoxiao's belly moved, even if it moved slightly through thick clothes, and the little rice ball was happy to see his teeth out of sight: "Mom, little glutinous rice ball heard it!"
Xiaodoubao, who was more than two years old, spoke more fluently. He stepped forward and pushed his brother away from holding Su Xiaoxiao's belly and put his ear on it: "Brother, brother, I'm the little brother, please answer if you hear me~~~"
At this time, Su Xiaoxiao's belly also moved, and Xiaodou narrowed his eyes and announced loudly, "Mama, Xiaoroubao heard it~~~"
Whenever this happens, the little rice ball will pinch Xiaodoubao's face into a chicken's mouth and rub it again and again: "Brother hurts you so much, can you stop making your brother angry?"
Xiaodoubao pulled away his brother's hand and refuted him sharply: "If my brother hurts me, he will give me a little meat bun~~~"
Only the gentle and steady Xiaozhu will chat with the "sister" seriously, telling them how the weather is today, where they have been, what they have done, how happy they are, and so on.
This kind of drama continued until the Lantern Festival and the cubs were still having fun.
On the Lantern Festival, both adults and children are on vacation. Su Xiaoxiao has been busy working on the Spring Epidemic Prevention Manual of the Propaganda Department recently. In addition, people are lazy in the cold weather, so they seldom go out. Her mother always said not to be lazy after stability, and to work every day. And walk around, you will be better when you are born in the future.
So on this day, the whole family wrapped the zongzi grandiose and set off to the vegetable market.
The special offering for the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month was glutinous rice balls, and there were a lot of live chickens, ducks and geese. Su Xiaoxiao took this opportunity to buy a chicken.
In winter, the children couldn’t go out to dig earthworms, and Huahua hatched eight chicks, so they had to come to the market to buy some rice bran and tea bran and go back with coarse grains and old vegetable leaves to feed them, and the three hens at home also began to separate Geniuses lay eggs, and their frequency of eating eggs is also much lower. When they can't buy eggs, they can only guarantee that Su Xiaoxiao eats one egg a day, and the three cubs eat more bean buns.
Lao Hu left pork belly for Su Xiaoxiao again today, and Su Xiaoxiao plans to make a pork belly wrapped chicken to eat.
It was too cold, and the family didn't stay in the market too much, and went straight back after shopping.
Even so, Su Xiaoxiao still felt that it was quite tiring to go out.
In the evening there was a Lantern Festival party in the army. Hancheng asked Su Xiaoxiao, "Would you like to see it?"
Su Xiaoxiao really didn't want to go out, and shook her head: "It's too difficult and too cold, I don't want to go, why don't you take the children to join in the fun?"
Hancheng: "Then don't go, you rest, I'll cook."
Hancheng moved a chair into the kitchen and let Su Xiaoxiao sit.
Su Xiaoxiao sat on the chair and instructed Hancheng to make pork belly wrapped chicken. This dish actually has no technical content. It is to wash the chicken and stuff it into the pork belly, then simmer with a little white pepper for two or three hours, and wait for the pork belly and chicken. When they are all simmered softly, pick up the pork belly and chicken, slice the pork belly, and put the chopped chicken pieces back into the soup, which can be simmered on a charcoal fire using the usual method used in Sujia Village in winter.
White pepper warms the stomach, but it is a bit spicy. If there are more children in the family, put a little less. The whole family first drink a bowl of soup to warm the stomach.
Eat another bowl of sweet potato dumplings in the evening, and this year has passed successfully.
In the twinkling of an eye, it was March, and it was warm and cold. The beans on the wall had already dried up and matured. Su Xiaoxiao asked Hancheng to take them back to dry them, save some to eat, and some to use as seeds.
Both "noodles" and "rice" have the appearance of big roosters, and even Huahua's eight "children" are already quite big, and they are all big roosters without exception.
When Su Xiaoxiao's stomach entered the sixth month, it was like blowing up a balloon and it was getting bigger and bigger every day, and her belly in more than six months looked bigger than others when she was eight months old. Plus Su Xiaoxiao The skeleton is small, the limbs are slender, and the head and face are small, which makes her feel a little tired.
Before, the green beans and snow peas on the wall of Su Xiaoxiao's house were growing very well. They all climbed over the wall and grew directly outside the wall. Even the outside wall was covered with beans, so when spring came, many neighbors came to Su Xiao. Laughing and begging the seeds to go back to planting.
Su Xiaoxiao had left a lot of seeds before, so she gave them a little.
Dundun Yaya and grandma also came to Su Xiaoxiao's house to ask for seeds, and they were startled when they saw Su Xiaoxiao's stomach: "Aren't you going to give birth soon? How can I remember that it's only six or seven months?"
It's only been a few days since haven't seen her, and she's a full circle bigger than the last time saw her.
People these days are usually thin, and many of those who are about to give birth are not as big as Su Xiaoxiao's belly.
Su Xiaoxiao can't tell, she can't lie down at night, she can only sleep on her side with a few pillows, and she has to ask Hancheng to help her up when she gets up to go to the toilet.
Hancheng took her to the hospital for an examination. The experienced doctor said that she heard two heartbeats vaguely. According to her appearance, it is likely to be twins. There is no accurate examination equipment these days. Obstetricians and gynecologists can also judge based on experience. It's good to say nothing, just say that there is a possibility, so that she must pay attention.
Su Xiaoxiao and Hancheng were both surprised and delighted. Su Xiaoxiao was inexperienced with her first pregnancy, and she herself could not feel how many babies were in her belly. Misleading, she has recently begun to feel in a trance that she may have a younger sister and a younger brother in her stomach.
But it's not easy to tell outsiders if she hasn't been born for a day, so she can only tell Grandma Zhang, "I don't know, I'm usually fine, but it's hard to sleep at night, and my heart beats very hard."
Grandma Zhang is an experienced person after all, so I asked her, "Has anyone in your family ever been pregnant with twins? Both your grandmother's side and your grandmother's side are counted. Has anyone among your peers and elders ever been pregnant?"
Su Xiaoxiao thought about it seriously, shook her head and said, "No, I haven't heard the elders say that it is true that only me is the only girl in our family."
Grandma Zhang is not sure now: "It's genetic to be pregnant with twins. I've seen people with twins belly like yours before. When you are six or seven months old, you will start to see the wind, which is more than ten months pregnant. Your belly still looks big, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to see a doctor, if you are pregnant with twins, you will be twice as hard.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and thanked Grandma Zhang: "I will pay attention, don't worry."
Grandma Zhang went back first, and Dun Dun Yaya waited until the rice ball and Zhuzi came back from school to play together for a while before leaving.
When Hancheng came back, Su Xiaoxiao began to act like a spoiled child: "Hancheng, Grandma Zhang also said that I might be pregnant with twins, and I might not be able to go to school next month. I can't sleep well at night now, and it's very hard to get up in the morning. I feel very tired every single class at the school, I really have to pay attention to it.”
The unexpected arrival of the baby broke Su Xiaoxiao's plan. She originally planned to follow Rice Ball and Zhuzi to the third grade, and brought them to the college entrance examination when they graduated from elementary school. Then she went to the capital to go to junior high school, and Xiaodoubao went to elementary school.
As a result, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the unexpected arrival of the little life broke her plan. After he was born, the real busy began. In case it is really twins, plus Xiaodoubao, there are three children who need to be taken care of by others. Speaking of substitute classes, she can't even take care of the work of the propaganda department.
There is no elderly person at home who can help with the child, so he can only take it by himself. Su Xiaoxiao feels sad when she thinks about it.
Hancheng has had this idea for a long time. She only took a class for free, mainly to enlighten her own children. Anyway, the rice balls and the pillars have already enlightened her very well, and she can teach at home. Hancheng came back from the hospital inspection before. I told her not to go to class.
Su Xiaoxiao originally wanted to hold on for a while longer, hoping to finish the class this semester.
Hancheng put his arms around her: "It's okay, don't go if you don't go, don't worry, don't panic, I'll call Su Family Commune when I go back to the office in the afternoon to see if my mother can come to accompany you earlier."
"Well, you can call my mother, you can say that the doctor said that I may be pregnant with twins, and now I am not in a stable mood. She will come over quickly when she finds out." Su Xiaoxiao hugged Hancheng's waist and rubbed it. She was squeamish or hypocritical. She had no experience with her first pregnancy, and she didn't know if it was because of the influence of hormones. She found that her mood was really unstable. What should I do if I can't conceive two babies? Sometimes I really can't sleep all night long. With her mother by my side, she will be much safer.
In fact, Hancheng is even more nervous than Su Xiaoxiao now, but he must not show it at such a time. There must be a backbone in the family that makes her feel at ease. Hancheng now depends on her for everything, as long as she is well.
"I know how to say it, don't worry, don't worry, our baby must be well behaved and will be fine."
Su Xiaoxiao hugged Hancheng and didn't let go. She was really a little flustered. She took a deep breath and sniffed his unique breath to feel more at ease.
