Li Chunhua was about to speak out excitedly, but before she could speak, she turned her head around. Shi Heng was still here. If she guessed wrong, Shi Heng would not be happy.
Thinking like this, Li Chunhua didn't eat the meal: "Xuezhu! Tell Mom if you're not feeling well! Hurry up and get up, don't eat for now, Mom will take you to the health team to take a look."
"Shiheng! Don't follow, watch the house at home. Your wife and I will be back soon."
Before He Xuezhu could react, she was pulled to stand up and followed her. Li Chunhua stayed by her side, "Be careful, don't go so fast if you're not feeling well..."
"Come on, come on, Mom supports you."
He Xuezhu had never felt such an attentive mother-in-law. She was a little helpless when she supported her, and she didn't dare to refuse. She looked back subconsciously, but saw her husband standing in the courtyard, looking at them and smiling. waved to her.
"Xuezhu, follow Mom, I'll wait for you at home."
It was such a smile that made her relax, and unconsciously, she returned a smile.
Watching his mother and daughter-in-law leave, Lin Shiheng wandered around the house, looking around to see if anything was broken.
He is often away from home. Even if he comes back, he will leave after a few days. There are only two women in the family. Even if they can endure hardships, their physical strength cannot keep up with many things. Li Chunhua has a strong temperament and refuses to ask others for help. The important thing is to wait for the son to come back.
After wandering around like this, Lin Shiheng really discovered that the rice jar at home was covered with a plastic sheet and an umbrella was hanging on it.
Looking up, the roof above the rice jar was indeed leaking, and it was covered with plastic sheets, but from the fact that the plastic sheets were still accumulating water, it was estimated that even if they were useful, they would not be of much use.
He lifted up his sleeves, stepped forward and grabbed both sides of the rice jar, and lifted the rice jar as a whole.
When Li Chunhua came back with a smile on her face, taking care of her daughter-in-law who also had a happy smile, she saw that the rice jar was carried from the leaky part to the place that was not leaking, and the large frying pan was wiped clean. Jing, even the missing step outside was temporarily padded with wooden boards.
The smile on Li Chunhua's face suddenly became more consoling, and she was about to go in and call Lin Shiheng, but she heard her son call from behind: "Mom, Xuezhu, are you back?"
"Shi Heng? How did you come back from outside?"
Lin Shiheng smiled and showed them the lightbulb in his hand: "Mom, the lightbulb in your room doesn't work. I'll buy a new one for you to replace."
In normal times, Li Chunhua would definitely hold her son's hand and sigh that it was her son's filial piety, but now, she laughed as if she had won the 10 million jackpot, and couldn't wait to announce the good news.
"Shi Heng! Xuezhu is pregnant!!"
Lin Shiheng's expression immediately perfectly showed the excitement of being surprised and happy like in a dream.
"Xuezhu!! Is Xuezhu pregnant? I'm going to be a father?!!!"
- Click!
With a crisp sound, when he was excited, he actually crushed the light bulb in his hand.
He Xuezhu was rubbing his stomach and watching him laugh. He was shocked when he saw the lightbulb shattered, and hurriedly stepped forward to check: "Shi Heng, how is it? Did you get it in your hand?"
"it's okay no problem!"
Lin Shiheng quickly clapped his hands to get the broken glass down, and hugged his wife in ecstasy: "Xuezhu, you're pregnant! I'm going to be a father!!"
His excitement was unquestionable. He Xuezhu herself was immersed in the joy of being a mother. After being so infected by her husband, and seeing him so happy, the smile on her face suddenly became even happier.
Unexpectedly, Shi Heng was so happy, he must have been looking forward to this child for a long time.
One of the husband and wife reached out to touch each other's lower abdomen carefully, and the other looked down at her husband with a smile. Li Chunhua watched this scene, only to feel that the eyes that had been crying before were faintly warm.
She said that her son is so good, God will not be so cruel to him, even if the army is injured and can't give birth, she even left a single seedling in Xuezhu's stomach.
Afraid of letting her son see that she was looking wrong, Li Chunhua wiped the corners of her eyes and coughed after making sure there were no tears, "Okay Shiheng, hurry up and help your daughter-in-law to sit, she can't be tired now, I'm going to cook dinner. , it's fine if we don't know today, and tomorrow you go to your wife's second aunt's house and buy all the old hens left in her house, and we'll cook Xuezhu chicken soup every day from now on."
"Mom, let me help you warm up."
"Go, go, your daughter-in-law has a baby, so don't accompany you more. Mom tells you that when you are pregnant, when you are in a good mood, the baby will be better when it is born."
"You don't understand this, but Mom knows it all. In the future, you should just listen to Mom!"
Li Chunhua pushed back her son who wanted to help, and stepped into the kitchen with a high-spirited self-confidence.
If Li Chunhua had known that her daughter-in-law was pregnant before, she would have been happy, but she would not have taken care of her so carefully, but isn't the situation different now!
This is the only seedling of the old Lin family. Shi Heng and Xuezhu have no experience. She, the grandmother, must be taken care of, and she must not make any mistakes!
Li Chunhua reheated the food happily, and as soon as she opened the curtain, she saw the young couple talking happily with faces, and her heart melted.
If she had seen her son treat his daughter-in-law so well before, she might have had a little pantothenic acid in her heart, but after Shi Heng hid all her pain and sadness and only gave her a smile as a mother, Li Chunhua now looked at the expression on her son's face. The smile is only grateful.
Thank God, let Shiheng not have to suffer so much.
She put the dish on the table with a smile, and He Xuezhu asked her to help, but stopped her from reaching out, "If you burn it again, Mom will do it."
He Xuezhu had never been cared for so carefully before, she was a little overwhelmed for a while, and looked at her husband subconsciously, Lin Shiheng patted her hand comfortingly: "Mom is right, you are pregnant with a child now, it is better to be careful, I'll just come."
Having said that, he stood up and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. Li Chunhua felt even more comforted when he saw that he was not only caring about his distressed daughter-in-law, happy or happy, and even complained: "It's just a few dishes, and Mom still can't handle it. Just stay with Xuezhu, what can you do for me?"
"Look at what you said, Xuezhu is now pregnant with a child. Mom, weren't you pregnant with me? I'm not good to you, and I'm good to others."
Li Chunhua felt completely at ease when she said this, the sour taste had long since disappeared, and the affection on He Xuezhu's face when she walked out of the kitchen was even heavier.
"Come on, Xuezhu, have a meal. After the meal, Mom will tell you what this pregnant woman needs to pay attention to."
As she said that, she thought about the reasons for those who lost their children in the village.
What a pregnant woman is most afraid of is fatigue, fright and poor nutrition. She must take good care of Xuezhu. First of all, she has to keep up with what she eats, and this fright. She wouldn't be frightened by anything, even if there was anything, she used to be startled by a lunatic strolling over from the next village when she went out, but as long as her mother-in-law stabilized, Xuezhu wouldn't be afraid anymore.
To put it an exaggeration, she Li Chunhua has nothing to scare her since she can remember!
Just thinking about it, Lin Shiheng said, "Mom, are you going to tell Xuezhu about this later? Then I'll talk about building a house first."
"I think so, let's buy a new piece of land, build a bigger house, hire more people, and try to build it as soon as possible."
The expression on Li Chunhua's face suddenly became a little hesitant: "Buy the land again? Do we have enough money?"
"That's right!" Lin Shiheng clapped his hands: "Look at my brain. When I came back, I saw that you were so happy that you all forgot about the business."
He stood up and entered the room under the suspicious eyes of Li Chunhua and He Xuezhu. He took out the big bag and handed it to Li Chunhua: "Here, look, don't be scared."
Li Chunhua smiled and glared at her son: "Your mother when I grew up so big... OMG!!!"
She screamed, startling He Xuezhu, who was curious to see it, but seeing her mother-in-law hurriedly hugged her luggage in shock, she looked around vigilantly to make sure that there were no outsiders, and then pulled Shi Heng over. , asked in a low voice, "Where did you get so much money?!"
"Before I came back from leave, I did a task, which was sent to me."
Lin Shiheng smiled and looked at her and He Xuezhu, who were still in a trance, and patted his chest: "Mom, Xuezhu, I will work harder in the future to make you have a better life."
Li Chunhua was still in shock, but He Xuezhu looked at her husband, thinking that he would take good care of her and the child in the future, and her mother-in-law's gentle treatment, He Xuezhu couldn't help but curl up happily: "Shi Heng, I I believe you."
She thought that even if she didn't build a new house, she would have a good life.
***
Within a few days, the Lin family bought a new piece of land, built a new house, and hired someone to spread the word throughout the village.
The He family was shocked when they heard the news. They said that Lin Shiheng had collapsed and needed to see a doctor
They didn't think that Lin Shiheng would lie to them. After all, since He Xuezhu got married, this son-in-law has always said one thing and two other things. If it was Li Chunhua, that might not be the case.
Little brother He was very envious of this money. Why didn't he think that being a soldier would make so much money before, thinking that every time he wanted to play poker with his buddies, he had no money, so he immediately urged his mother to go to Lin's house to borrow money.
The mother and son went again, and this time, to show their sincerity, they also specially brought a door-to-door gift.
Mother He heard about her daughter's pregnancy as soon as she went there, she immediately smiled and said while nibbling on melon seeds: "This is a good thing, Xuezhu, you must be a big fat boy in your stomach!"
He Xuezhu touched her stomach and whispered, "Mother, don't say that, the child hasn't been born yet."
"It's okay, you eat more sour and don't touch spicy, sour girl, but don't give birth to a girl."
Li Chunhua was opening the curtain and came in. Hearing this sentence, he agreed with it. That's right, can't you have a son!
But as soon as she looked up, she saw the ugly face of her son and the hand clenching the corner of the table slightly.
Others didn't pay attention, the mother saw it clearly.
She immediately woke up.
Yes indeed! Shiheng can't give birth!
Who can tell the gender of this child, if the son is okay, if it is a daughter, she wants a grandson wholeheartedly, doesn't that make Shiheng feel uncomfortable!
Li Chunhua immediately put her face down, and walked in with a gloomy face.
"Who are you talking about?! Is Li Chunhua the kind of person who prefers sons over daughters?! As long as it's the baby of my Lin family, I love it equally if it's a boy or a girl!"
"I didn't say it, my mother, your feudal thinking is really amazing, don't say such things in the future, shame!"
When they got engaged before, Mother He, who had heated discussions with Li Chunhua on the topic of 'it's useless to have a boy and a daughter, they all love boys and strive to make Xuezhu give birth to a boy for the first time', kept her nibbling posture dazedly. Stunned.
Is this old lady crazy?
