"Third brother and sister, these are the little clothes and quilts I made for the child. School will start when you go back. You are usually busy, so you will definitely not have time to make them. When you are in confinement, we will definitely not have time to make them.
I’ll prepare everything for you in advance.”
The day before leaving, Zhang Qin suddenly brought a baggage over. Chen Lishu opened it and saw that in addition to a small quilt, small clothes, small pants, and even small shoes, the stitches were fine and the stitches were facing outwards. It showed that they were carefully crafted.
Did it.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Why are you being polite to me? When you are in confinement, my family will not be busy, so I will go see you with my mother."
"Um."
As soon as Zhang Qin was sent away, Zhang Xiaoju also came over with a bunch of things.
"Third sister-in-law, these were worn by my family Gu Pan when she was a child. I have always kept them carefully. Third sister-in-law, please don't dislike them."
Chen Lishu smiled: "How could it be possible? Children grow taller wearing old clothes. Thank you to my four younger siblings."
When she saw that these little clothes had been specially cleaned and sorted, Chen Lishu couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
Zhang Xiaoju knew that she was sensible and it was not tiring at all to get along with such a sister-in-law.
Not long after, Li Xiuying also brought a large bag of things. In addition to the food for the child, there was also a large bag of food for her.
"I heard that children who eat walnuts are smart. Mom specially asked for some from the village for you, as well as jujube and wolfberry, which can replenish qi and blood. This..."
Lin Lin always had about five or six kinds of food, which Li Xiulan had collected for her during this period.
After Li Xiulan finished talking to Chen Lishu, she turned around and told her son: "She is the first born, so you should be careful. Don't let her do heavy work, don't make her angry, and don't let her eat according to her temper."
Then he told Gu Xingdong all the taboos that he knew he couldn't eat.
Just as she stood up, Wu Chunmei and Chen Manyun came over carrying another bag.
When they were leaving the next day, a total of four bags were placed at the feet of Chen Lishu and Gu Xingdong.
Li Xiulan said: "There is snow on the road and it will be slippery. Let your dad set up a car and take you to town."
Fortunately, there were many people walking together, so Chen Lishu only had to take care of herself and Ruirui.
Gu Xingdong bought the tickets the day before. There were not that many sleeper berths, so only some people could sit on the hard seats. Fortunately, we only had one day, and it didn't take long to reach the provincial capital.
Because Gu Xingye had been to Wang Aixiang's house before, which was not far from the warehouse, Chen Lishu asked him to take everyone to a guest house to settle down first, and then she and Gu Xingdong returned to their home near the school.
Zhao Qiuyue didn't expect that they would come back so many days in advance. Looking at the several large bags of things Gu Xingdong was carrying, she hurried over to help pick them up.
"Sister, why did you bring so many things this time?"
"Aunt Xiaoyue, my mother has a little brother, and she is raising them for him." Rui Rui entered the room and said while taking off her hat and scarf.
Zhao Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, and when she realized what she was doing, she said with surprise on her face: "Sister, are you pregnant?"
Chen Lishu smiled and nodded: "It's been more than two months."
"Quick, go and sit down. You must be exhausted from the car ride, right? Are you hungry? I'll go downstairs to buy whatever you want to eat."
"I'm not too hungry. You can just get some. I'm just a little sleepy. I want to take a nap after eating in a while." Chen Lishu said and yawned.
Being able to eat and sleep may be her only reaction to pregnancy so far.
"How about making some hot noodle soup? I'll crack two more poached eggs and they'll be ready soon." Zhao Qiuyue helped Gu Xingdong take everything to the room, then turned to the kitchen and started cooking.
"It's been more than two months now. I want to go to the hospital tomorrow for a checkup and an ultrasound."
Chen Lishu took off her coat, handed it to Gu Xingdong and asked him to hang it up, then went to sit down by the bed.
The child came not long after he stopped taking the medicine. Without a checkup, she was still a little worried.
Gu Xingdong nodded: "Well, I will go with you tomorrow."
It didn't take long for Zhao Qiuyue to prepare the noodles. Chen Lishu went to sit down at the table. As soon as she picked up her chopsticks and took a bite, her stomach suddenly began to churn. She hurriedly dropped her chopsticks and ran to the bathroom.
Therefore, Chen Lishu, who thought that the entire pregnancy would be pleasant, was overjoyed too early. After enjoying a stable life for more than half a month, she began to suffer from strong morning sickness for the first time.
This vomiting was like a flood that had been released and was out of control.
"Here, I didn't put anything in. Why did you vomit?" Zhao Qiuyue was completely panicked. She had never been pregnant and didn't know what to eat and what not to eat. But noodles and eggs should not be a big problem.
Gu Xingdong poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her. While patting her back, he asked worriedly: "How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Otherwise, I will take you to the hospital."
After Chen Lishu rinsed her mouth, she stood up and said, "It's okay. Didn't our mother say that vomiting is a normal reaction? She vomited for four or five months when she was pregnant with you. I guess the child is done with you."
It took more than two months for me to start to respond. It seems that I was happy too early.
"Mom, are you okay?" Ruirui saw her coming out and asked worriedly: "Did your little brother kick you in the stomach?"
Chen Lishu couldn't help laughing: "No, when he comes out, help mother teach him a lesson."
"Mom, he definitely didn't mean to make trouble with you." Ruirui raised his head and began to intercede for his unborn 'little brother': "He may be too bored. I'll tell him a story later and he will definitely stop making trouble.
You are."
Gu Xingdong couldn't help but laugh: "I think this is okay."
After all, she had vomited a lot and still felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. Chen Lishu only managed to eat less than half of the bowl and then put down her chopsticks.
After dinner, Ruirui actually took a little book and started reading the story to Chen Lishu's belly.
The winter afternoon sun shone in through the window, and the room was warm. Chen Lishu put a blanket on her body and listened to Rui Rui's childish voice. She felt sleepy without realizing it and gradually fell asleep.
Gu Xingdong went out for a trip and soon brought back a small stone mill and an additional half bag of soybeans and red beans.
When Chen Lishu woke up, he was sitting on a chair in the living room, carefully picking beans, looking serious as if he was doing something extremely important.
"Are you awake? How do you feel? Are you feeling better?"
Chen Lishu sat down next to him and her eyes fell on the stone mill beside him: "Where did you get it?"
"I went to the market and asked about buying it from someone else. You don't always like to drink it when you are at home. I guess it should suit your taste."
As he spoke, Gu Xingdong raised his hand and touched her belly, which was not yet showing her pregnancy: "You have to give me some face, or if you don't torment your mother again, I will really beat you when I come out."
