Chapter 162: Two golden eggs
As a junior, Jiang Mingcha doesn't have to keep vigil, but she still has to wait until 12 o'clock to have supper with Mother Gu and the others before going to bed.
It started to snow again at night. I originally wanted Grandma Gu to spend the night here, but it's not like there weren't many rooms at home.
In the end, Grandma Gu insisted on going back, so she had no choice but to ask Gu Siyan to send Grandma Gu back.
When Gu Siyan came back, the family warmed up by the fire with the door closed, listened to the radio, and chatted.
Before I knew it, it was eleven forty.
Mother Gu quickly went to the kitchen to boil the water. After the water boiled, she threw in the dumplings she had made in advance and cooked them.
Jiang Mingcha had a watch. When twelve o'clock came, Gu Siyan went out and lit the firecrackers.
The crackling sound instantly echoed through the entire yard.
There are also some families who don't have clocks and watches, so they wait for other families to set off firecrackers. As soon as other families set off firecrackers, they know it's twelve o'clock, and they quickly go to set off firecrackers themselves.
So after Jiang Mingcha and his family finished setting off the firecrackers, they could still hear the sound of firecrackers one after another.
The quiet night suddenly became lively.
Just as the dumplings were ready, Mother Gu invited everyone to go to the kitchen to eat dumplings.
Bulky dumplings, eating dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year will bring wealth in the coming year.
I was very full in the afternoon, and Jiang Mingcha couldn't eat anymore after eating four dumplings.
Mother Gu saw that she had eaten four, and quickly asked her to eat another half: "My dear, four has a bad meaning, can we eat half more?"
Jiang Ming's tea cup made Gu's mother dumbfounded, but he nodded and followed Gu's mother's wishes, "Okay, eat another half."
Mother Gu was happy.
The dumplings served to everyone all have good meanings.
Six, six or six.
Eight, they will be given out next year.
Nine, forever.
Ten, perfect and complete.
Jiang Mingcha was convinced by Gu's mother's superstition, but she also found it quite interesting.
Especially when I saw the usually serious Gu Fu and the naughty Gu Siyu respecting these customs, I also felt the charm of the Spring Festival.
Follow Mother Gu and all say auspicious words.
After eating the dumplings, I went back to wash my feet and go to bed.
Gu's mother also specially emphasized that she must sleep until she wakes up naturally the next day and cannot be woken up, so that she can sleep comfortably the next year.
Back in the room, Jiang Mingcha was already very sleepy.
I just took a shower in advance, now I can just soak my feet and go to sleep.
It was rare for Gu Siyan not to think about that. After wiping her feet, he went out and poured out the foot washing water. He then turned on the light and went to bed, hugging his wife into his arms to sleep.
I rarely eat late-night snacks at night, but today I suddenly ate late-night snacks, and the little one in my stomach seemed to be excited.
Gu Siyan was protecting his wife's waist, but suddenly he felt his arm being kicked several times.
The man opened his eyes suddenly, and so did Jiang Mingcha.
"Just... did the little guy... kick me?"
Gu Siyan lowered his head and glanced at his wife's belly. He was not so sure for the first time, "It seems so."
"What does it seem to be? It is!"
This is the first time the child in the belly has kicked them.
Both of them were so nervous that they didn't dare to touch their bellies, and they both looked forward to the baby coming again.
This is their child.
Before, I didn't feel particularly big as my belly grew bigger day by day.
But today...for the first time, they truly felt the vitality of their child.
Jiang Mingcha bit her lower lip and gently put her hand on her belly, "Baby?"
Gu Siyan was amused by his wife, "He can't hear her."
Jiang Mingcha: "..." It seems so.
The next second.
Jiang Mingcha's hand was kicked again!
And this time he moved even more actively than before.
The whole time Jiang Mingcha was wondering if there were two cubs in her belly!
Why are you so active?
But just think about it. Neither side of their family seems to have the gene for twins, and it is impossible for me to be pregnant with two.
So Jiang Mingcha didn't say anything, but took Gu Siyan to feel their baby together.
He took his daughter-in-law with crooked eyes into his arms and looked at her.Si Yan felt particularly satisfied.
This year is really good. I have my wife in my arms and their children in my wife's belly. They will go to the city after the Chinese New Year. They are looking forward to their days.
Even he, who has never been very superstitious, felt that the child's movement tonight was a good sign.
They will have a very healthy child.
Gu Siyan was even thinking that it would be best to have a daughter as obedient as her.
This way I can stay with her.
It's a pity that both of them will be disappointed.
The parents hugged each other and fell asleep with their beautiful expectations for their sweet and sweet daughter. The two boys in their belly were extremely happy.
Grandma Gu, who always had a dream, had a dream that night. She dreamed that the chickens in her yard laid a pair of golden eggs.
When Grandma Gu got up the next day, she hurried up the mountain to burn incense for her ancestors.
Two golden eggs, this has a good meaning!
Is it possible that Mingcha is pregnant with two babies?
Afraid of putting pressure on them, Grandma Gu held back and did not go to them. Instead, she went back to the house and opened her dowry box.
Looking at the dowry box with nothing in it, there is a layer of compartments underneath.
Grandma Gu searched for a long time and finally found a pair of small silver bracelets.
It just so happens that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. After Mingcha and the others get up, they will come over to pay New Year greetings. Give them this.
In addition to silver bracelets, there are also soft cloths from home and so on.
Knowing that the two children were busy going to the provincial capital, Grandma Gu quickly dug out the materials and planned to make a few more pairs of shoes and socks for the children before they left.
If it's two, that's just right.
If it's just one, it's also appropriate for the child to change and wash it more frequently!
————
No one in the first grade of junior high school has to go to work, and there is nothing to do. Even the hostess of the house does not have to get up early to cook today.
Everyone had a midnight snack last night and we weren't hungry in the morning.
At noon, if there are dishes you haven't finished the day before, you can eat them as soon as they are warmed up.
The whole village was extremely quiet. Jiang Mingcha didn't wake up until ten in the morning.
Since coming here, this is the first time she has slept so late.
Opening his eyes, he found that Gu Siyan was already awake.
"Sleep a little longer?"
Gu Siyan helped her tuck in the quilt.
Jiang Mingcha shook his head, nodded again, and said with a smile: "I'm not going to sleep, but I don't want to get up either."
It feels so good to stay in bed in winter!
Gu Siyan knew what she was thinking, so he just held her in his arms without saying a word, and the two of them stayed in bed together.
In Gu Siyan's life, this was the first time he woke up like this and couldn't get up from his bed.
Don't say it.
It really smells good.
There was no movement in the kitchen, and Gu's mother probably didn't wake up either, so they were even less anxious and planned to wait until there was movement in the kitchen before getting up.
Anyway, there is nothing to do today, just wish Grandma Gu a happy New Year.
Grandma Gu was sitting in the yard, cutting cloth samples and looking outside from time to time.
Why haven't you come yet? ! !
