Chapter 252: Looks a Bit Creepy!

~8 min read 1,409 words

An Yinan was a bit bewildered, then looked at Liu Yun, then at Liu Mei, whose face was turning red, and finally nodded in a low voice, "Very good, nice aesthetic."

"It's just... this photo frame, can we change it to a mahogany one?"

"It looks a bit creepy!"

Liu Yun couldn't hold it back any longer; she squatted on the ground laughing, "I was just saying... where it felt strange... I just couldn't put my finger on it..."

"Wait, I can't take it, I'm dying of laughter."

Liu Mei blinked, and now she realized it too; this seemed...

"Change it! Change it today, change it right now!" Liu Meijie had such a decisive temperament; she took the frame apart directly, set the glass aside carefully, and threw the frame away.

Oh my god, she had almost memorialized her own sister...

She cautiously turned her head to look at her sister, and seeing her sister's expression, it didn't seem like she was angry!

An Yinan also found it funny and finally shook her head helplessly, "Sit here, hold out your hand."

Liu Mei was extremely obedient now, and the moodiness of a pregnant woman was gone.

Her mood had been fluctuating these past few days, like the wind and rain, and hearing that she had been vomiting terribly yesterday, Liu Yun had specifically asked for leave to come and see her; she hadn't expected her to be so well-behaved in front of her sister.

An Yinan took her pulse, and after a minute, the corners of her mouth twitched, then she said to Liu Mei, "Switch hands."

Liu Mei obediently switched, then looked at An Yinan expectantly.

After finishing the pulse check, An Yinan pondered for a moment.

"What's wrong? Is the baby not okay?" Liu Mei was a bit nervous.

An Yinan shook her head, "It's very good, the baby is developing very well, and your body is also very healthy."

She was just surprised that Liu Meijie had truly gotten what she wished for; it really was a girl...

"But have you gained weight recently? You need to be careful with your diet; try to control high-sugar foods. If the baby grows too large in the later stages, you'll be the one to suffer."

Liu Mei nodded immediately, "I understand, I will control it."

Liu Yun, behind Liu Mei, quietly gave a thumbs up.

Not to mention what her brother-in-law had said, she herself had said plenty behind her back; every time she brought it up, her sister would get angry, saying she was afraid of her spending money and wouldn't let her eat, and with that pitiful look, they would have no choice but to give in.

"You're pregnant, it's just a hormonal reaction; it's very normal for pregnant women to be emotional, but you have to control it yourself." An Yinan, now speaking from the perspective of a medical practitioner, carefully advised her.

Liu Meijie was such a good person; she hoped she would get her heart's desire.

"But controlling it is so hard," Liu Mei said dejectedly.

She knew she was being unreasonable and making things difficult for everyone, and she would regret it afterward, but at the time, if she didn't get what she wanted, she would feel unhappy, aggrieved, and want to cry...

An Yinan thought for a moment and said, "Liu Meijie, in the future, do you want a soft, sweet little baby?"

"Or do you want a bad-tempered little baby who can't control their own temper?"

"This is prenatal education; you need to let the little baby in your belly know how to control their temper," An Yinan said bit by bit.

Pregnancy reactions are very normal, caused by hormones.

Many people who aren't pregnant can't understand why there are so many issues with being pregnant.

In fact, the pregnant woman herself doesn't want it either; she just can't control herself.

People around her need to give the pregnant woman more care and love; when she feels surrounded by love, her sense of security reaches its peak, and she will actually calm down on her own.

Cases of prenatal depression and postpartum depression are everywhere. (I also hope expectant mothers will be more self-reliant, independent, and confident; giving yourself a sense of security is more important.)

"I will control it," Liu Mei nodded firmly.

An Yinan said with a smile, "I'm coming to the County the day after tomorrow; I'll bring you some medicine, take one pill every day, on time."

"It's just calcium and vitamins, don't worry."

"Taking calcium and vitamins during pregnancy is being responsible for yourself and the child; it's a very normal phenomenon, no need to panic."

Pregnant women in this era rarely pay attention to these things; it's already good if those who take their daughters-in-law seriously just don't make them do manual labor.

Those village people even give birth to babies right in the fields; that's not a rare occurrence at all.

When people can't even get enough to eat, who would pamper them?

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister," Liu Mei trusted An Yinan very much.

Liu Mei wanted to keep her for a meal, but An Yinan waved her hand, "I won't eat here; I promised my friends I'd go back to eat."

She returned from Liu Meijie's house and went straight back to Quanshui Village, not going anywhere else.

She first prepared the Health Pill for the elderly couple, as well as the Calcium Tablet; it was only when she reminded Liu Meijie today that she realized she had actually forgotten the Calcium Tablet, but since the bottles had labels, she wrapped them in white paper, poured two packets for the elderly couple, and two packets for Liu Meijie.

Then she put the vest, knee pads, Calcium Tablet, and Health Pill into a small cloth bag and went to Liu Danniang's house first.

Liu Danniang lived alone; when Xie Yuanyuan and the others wrote to her, they would also ask about Liu Danniang, since she rarely went out and didn't know when the postman would come.

Liu Danniang was quite surprised to hear the knock on the door; who would come at this time? That group of girls should be at work at this hour.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw An Yinan smiling brightly.

"When did you get back? I didn't hear any movement," Liu Danniang hurriedly opened the door and welcomed An Yinan into the room.

An Yinan was all smiles, "I arrived yesterday at noon, got together with my friends, and only came over today."

"Sit on the heated brick bed," Liu Danniang said, bringing out the roasted melon seeds from the house, "There's nothing else to eat at home, have some seeds."

An Yinan grabbed half a handful, "This is the taste, it's so fragrant."

Seeds roasted by oneself are the best, especially these melon seeds, which have a faint fragrance that lingers on the lips and teeth.

"If you like them, take them back; this old woman's teeth aren't good, I can't eat this stuff," Liu Danniang said with a smile.

She roasted these for those few girls to eat when they came over, but those girls were all very polite and would leave after just saying hello; she hadn't managed to give these seeds away at all.

"Alright, I won't stand on ceremony with you," An Yinan agreed with a smile.

Liu Danniang couldn't help but laugh, "You, why are you standing on ceremony with me?"

The old woman brought the cloth bag over, poured the melon seeds from the plate into it, and placed it directly in front of An Yinan.

"Don't forget to take it with you later," Liu Danniang instructed.

An Yinan nodded with a smile, then took the items out, "This is the hide Chen Xun bought; I made the kneepads and vest."

When Mother Liu saw them, she quickly waved her hands; such fine hide clearly wasn't cheap, how could she let the children spend their money?

"At my age, what would I need to wear this sort of thing for?"

"You hurry up and take them back; it's cold where you are, you wearing more is what really matters."

"Be a good girl and listen!" Mother Liu hurriedly pushed them back.

She was at such an advanced age and rarely went out in the winter, so what need did she have to wear something so nice?
