Chapter 234

After the two returned home, they were called to the next door by their sister and brother-in-law for dinner.

Three-yellow chicken, braised mackerel, minced meat eggplant, cabbage braised meat, green pepper fried meat slices, seaweed egg drop soup.

Five dishes and one soup, the portions were all solid, enough for four people to eat.

"Today, Grandpa and the others sent a lot of milk powder and children's things. Sister-in-law and Brother, after you finish eating, come over and pick some to take back..."

Shen Man said this while drinking soup, talking to her brother and sister-in-law.

"Okay."

Pei Yan Ting wasn't polite and agreed readily.

Incidentally, she told her sister about the things that happened in the department in the last few days and interesting cases.

On the other side, Lu Xiu Bai was smiling and picking up food to eat, praising while eating:

"Brother-in-law, your craftsmanship is getting better and better, it's really delicious."

"Who said half a year ago that they wanted to learn cooking from me? How come there hasn't been much progress in this half year?"

Jiang Ye looked at his brother-in-law with cool eyes, and the words he said were full of questioning.

"Because I'm lazy and have no talent. I really tried hard. Isn't it also that I'm afraid of burning the ingredients? We two are fine, but what if I gave my sister and my wife a stomachache?"

Lu Xiu Bai had something to say about sophistry.

Jiang Ye snorted; he really couldn't refute this reason.

He sometimes suspected now that his brother-in-law had deliberately let him pick up his wife!

An eye for an eye, right?

Forget it, he admitted defeat.

Every cause has an effect; his retribution was his brother-in-law!

As a doctor, Pei Yan Ting naturally knew the gender of the child in her belly, so without hesitation, she picked two sets of white and two sets of blue baby clothes.

Milk powder, baby bottles, small toys, and baby beds, she took them all.

Anyway, it was just the next room; when the time came, if anything was missing or not enough, it was the same to come over and take it.

"By the way, I asked an experienced colleague. This twin pregnancy of yours, the due date might be in January, not necessarily February.

When the time comes, if you feel your water break, just call your brother-in-law to carry you to the hospital. If your brother is at home, don't be polite, just order him around!"

Pei Yan Ting was also a bit prepared, giving her sister some suggestions and instructions.

Women understood women better.

From pregnancy to nearing delivery, the hardship during this period was only known to them.

"Mm, Sister Wang also came to remind me today. I know it all. Sister-in-law, you also take care of your body, don't be too tired."

Shen Man nodded; she would pay attention.

"After finishing the shift in December, I will also take maternity leave. The director has requested reinforcements. A professional obstetrics and gynecology team will come to support in January. Our department won't be chaotic, don't worry."

Pei Yan Ting nodded; she would also take care of her body.

From a medical point of view, only excellent sperm could be accepted by the egg.

So in terms of process and result, actually, it was already very excellent.

As long as there was no heavy pushing, it wouldn't be so easy to miscarry or damage.

"That's good."

Shen Man felt much more at ease; as long as her sister-in-law could take maternity leave smoothly, it would be fine.

After sending her brother and sister-in-law away, Jiang Ye sent a basin of hot water into the room, broke off a handful of mugwort, and soaked his wife's feet.

"Hot."

Shen Man touched the water temperature and shook her head in dissatisfaction.

Jiang Ye said "Mm" and gave an instruction:

"Then soak it later, I'll go tidy up the kitchen and come back immediately."

Since the water was hot, don't soak it for now.

First, pour his wife a cup of warm coconut milk to warm her hands.

The two's way of getting along had gone from newlyweds to the state of an old married couple.

As long as the other party gave a look, they could understand the other party's meaning.

Shen Man didn't know what the way of getting along was for other couples, but she was very satisfied with the current state.

Love rises with the wind, and the wind rises, making it hard to calm down.

Compared to many couples who couldn't calm down, she felt she was already very lucky.

Suddenly, as if agreeing with her words, the children in her belly kicked her belly lightly, as if saying hello.

"Mantou, Nuomi, you must be good. When you are born, Dad and Mom will love you very, very much."

Maybe because she didn't get much love in her own growth, Shen Man didn't have high requirements for her children.

Whether their academic performance was good or not wasn't important.

As long as their bodies were healthy, it was better than anything.

Maybe her words worked; the movement in her belly quieted down. She could feel the children moving, but the force was very light.

There were no stretch marks on Shen Man's belly.

This made many military wives envious, because many stretch marks had appeared on their bellies.

Some military wives said stretch marks would slowly dissipate, and some said they couldn't dissipate.

In short, everyone said something different.

These stretch marks still made many beauty-loving military wives feel a bit sad...

Everyone loved beauty.

But for stretch marks, there was currently no product that could eliminate them.

It could only depend on individual constitution and skin recovery degree.

There weren't many stretch marks on her sister-in-law's belly; maybe it was because she often drank well water and ate the food she mixed with Spiritual Liquid.

Thinking and thinking, the water temperature in the foot-washing basin also lowered.

Shen Man lay on the bed, soaking her feet below the knees, comfortable!

She didn't know where her husband heard the folk remedy, but soaking her feet in mugwort meant she didn't have many cramps or swelling in her late pregnancy.

Shen Man's life was colorful, doted on by others, and worry-free.

At the same time, in the capital, Zhang Xuemei was also pregnant with a big belly.

Because she gave the doctor a red envelope during the check-up, the Zhou family knew she was pregnant with a boy, so delicious and nutritious supplements were given to her continuously.

Different from a normal pregnant woman, for this pregnancy, she didn't know what was going on, but her belly was shockingly big, while her body was extremely withered.

It was as if all the nutrients had been absorbed by the fetus in her belly.

Neighbors were all discussing, saying the fetus in Zhang Xuemei's body was strange.

But because of Zhang Xuemei's shrewishness, they didn't dare to say it openly and were all discussing it behind her back.

Zhang Xuemei originally had the heart to inquire about her daughter's whereabouts, but as she became pregnant, her body became heavier and heavier, and she had no energy to find her daughter.

Now her energy was all on the son in her belly.

If her son was born, her status in the Old Zhou family would be as stable as Mount Tai!

So, the urgent matter was to take good care of the pregnancy.

Mother relies on son for nobility, it was just around the corner!

And the Zhou father and son, in the past half year, had not lived satisfactorily.

Since the death of Mother Zhou, Father Zhou had become a widower, going to parks and other places every day to hunt for beauty, flirting with widows.

Without restraint, his purse was getting emptier and emptier.

Zhou Haitao, since the belly of the person sleeping beside him had become bigger and bigger, the yellow-faced woman who was already old was getting harder to swallow, so he was also stealing food outside.

The father and son covered for each other, and for a while, Zhang Xuemei didn't discover the catty things of the two.

But there was no wall that didn't leak wind in the world, and the affairs of the Zhou father and son gradually reached Zhang Xuemei's ears, and a family storm was staged...
