Chapter 36 (1)

However, Hop's pregnancy did not bring her any actual life change.

Cheng Tielong's attitude towards her was as polite and detached as ever, and he occasionally spoke, and only asked how Hetu was doing recently. Of course, Hetu wants to say that he is very good, and if he doesn't say it well, he won't say a few words, but just tells Hetu to take good care of himself, and still keep his head down and busy with his own business. As for Mu Shi, Mu Shi's attitude seemed to be a little stranger, she was more kind in her words towards Hedi, and when she chatted with Hedi, Hedi almost felt as if the warmth in her words was about to overflow. However, the work assigned to her was still quite the same, and sometimes when Hetu sat in the yard doing the laundry, she stood at the door and watched, pretending to ask a word or two, but did not help her, and turned around and went in. If Hetu is tired, she will come to care about Hedi, and by the way, how can she make herself tired? This ambiguous and changeable attitude really confused Hedi, and it was impossible to discern what kind of mentality Mu Shi was holding for a while. It's just that her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she is starting to struggle to walk, and she really can't spare the energy to ponder Mu Shi's psychology, so even if sometimes she feels strange psychologically, but she just feels strange, anyway, she is not the kind of delicate person, pregnant with a child is like being pregnant with a world, and she still does her best to do what belongs to her, and occasionally she can't do it, so she says it to her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law won't say anything, but only tells her to rest, and arranges Cheng Jiayi to do it.

At this time, Hetu would sit in the house and start thinking. She was thinking about her own character, she could bear everything she could, and she never wanted to expose her weakness easily. If Xiuhan saw it, he would definitely say, "What's wrong with you just pretending to be weak?" Anyway, I'm pregnant, and I didn't do it on purpose. "She'll blame herself for being too strong and not thinking about herself. But Hetu is like this, she can't stand others saying that she is not good, it is because she can't stand it that she has to do everything very well, so that others can't catch the handle and say herself. Although this kind of life can sometimes be too tiring, it can bring a lot of comfort to her heart, and that's how she can support her step by step, Hetu thought to herself.

However, the change is not without it, that is, Cheng Jiahua. As he said that night, he really got up early the next day and went out, and when he came back in the evening, he happily said to Hedi that he had found a job, which was to work as a driver for others, and the work was not heavy, and the salary was okay. That's it, Hedi is already very satisfied, and what can he expect him to do better. At dinner the next day, Cheng Jiahua told his father about it, Cheng Tielong didn't say anything about it, but looked at Cheng Jiahua with hatred and reprimanded: "The sons I gave birth to are all not good at all, only Jiaye and Jiayi are better." You and Kaji, that is, the life of moving bricks on the construction site, what else can I expect you to do! If I let others know that my Cheng Tielong's son went out to work as a driver for others, where would I put my old face! Cheng Jiahua, who said bluntly, lowered his head in shame. However, after reprimanding, Cheng Tielong's tone softened, and then said: "If you do it, do it well, after all, now you are also a family person, it is much better than going out to gamble before." Just go out, don't say you're my son, I can't afford it. ”

Cheng Jiahua hurriedly agreed, but in fact, he never said that he was Cheng Tielong's son outside, after all, others don't believe it, who would believe that Cheng Tielong has such a son, dropped out of school early, didn't study well, gambled all day, although he was determined to get better, he could only find a job as a driver. Maybe in his father's mind, Jiaye and Jiayi are the most standard children who meet his heart, they have excellent grades, rank high in the class, and don't mess around, and have a well-behaved and obedient personality, this is the good child in his mind.

Every day before going to work, Cheng Jiahua would sit in front of He Tu for a while, not touching Hedi's belly to talk to the unborn child there, but only looking at the bulging piece on his thin body when he didn't speak, fantasizing in his mind what he would look like when he was born. He was thinking that Hetu would give birth to a boy, and every time he talked about it, he was full of joy. But Hetu didn't think so, and when she saw him talking and being complacent, she would retort: "Don't you love her if it's a girl?" ”

Jia Hua was stunned for a moment, he didn't think that Hetu would give birth to a girl, when Su's mother talked to him, she always said that Hetu would give birth to a boy, and after a long time, he almost thought it was a boy. But it doesn't matter if it's a girl, it's all your own child, how can you not love it?

Around the time of summer, the family starts to get busy. Cheng Tielong still has more than 20 acres of land under his name, although he hired someone to help him take care of it (because he didn't have so much manpower at home), but occasionally when the orchard land was too busy, he still had to help. Jia Hua is working outside, Jia Ji is going to study work, Jia Ye and Jia Yi are still in school, Cheng Tielong, Mu Shi and Hetu have become the main coolies. Every day, you have to get up early to take care of the orchard, turn over the hard land that has been frozen by the cold of winter in the early stage, and start to take care of all kinds of vegetables and fruits that have grown sprouts in the later stage, and help in the field when you are too busy. The family was almost never idle, running around all day, and the dirt on their bodies never disappeared. Although Hetu's belly has been five months, she still runs around with her father-in-law and mother-in-law, although she is tired, she almost never complains, because her mother-in-law said such a thing to herself, she said: "When I was pregnant, my body was as thin as you, but my mother-in-law was very powerful, I was pregnant, and I did more work at home, but then I gave birth to these disobedient cubs smoothly." Women, will go through such a process, not to mention that you can't do anything if you're pregnant, so what's the use of this family? It is precisely because of these words that Hetu refuses to relax, anyway, she works harder, she is too strong, and she is absolutely unwilling to leave a bad impression on others, even if she is already a little immobile.

After following her sister to the hospital that time, Hexin told her parents and younger siblings about Hedi's pregnancy. I have also called at home, asking if my life here will be good, I must take care of myself during pregnancy, if I really want to go home, I will come back, and I will give birth to a spare tire at home like Hexin. He Tu expressed her gratitude for the care of her family, but she shook her head and rejected those proposals. She never thought about going home to give birth, because when she answered the phone, Mu Shi stood by and stared at her, just waiting for her to say something that Mu Shi didn't want to hear. Although Mu Shi will not embarrass her openly, once he begins to be dissatisfied with Hetu, he will start a cold and violent process. He Tu had tasted it a few times, and the taste was very uncomfortable, and at that time, except for Jia Hua, almost the whole family ignored her, and they didn't look at her when they walked by. Even so, Hetu will not bow his head easily, and this cold war will last for a long time. But who would like to live in the same yard and treat each other as strangers, so after her mother-in-law forgave her, Hetu became more cautious and no longer wanted to anger this mother-in-law who was good at cold violence.

After such a period of time, there will be a short period of time in the middle, at that time, Jiaye and Jiayi are also on summer vacation, and the work is not so intense, Hetu can be regarded as being able to stay at home, occasionally do housework, go to the garden to help take care of it a little, and it is not so busy compared to before. Jia Hua's work is very stable, he almost seems to have changed as a different person, leaving early and returning late every day, and almost never goes to the mahjong parlor again. Maybe the birth of this child can really bring him a big change, Hetu thought to herself, feeling that life is gradually going in a better direction, and she can't help but feel happy, this may be the best thing she has met during the time she has been married.

One day, when the family had gone out, and Mu Shi was not at home, she had gathered the ripe fruit and took it to the market with the Jiayi leaves to sell. Cheng Tielong was not in the garden, probably going out to visit relatives and friends. There was no one in the huge family, and it was rare to be quiet. After cleaning up the bedroom, he was bored, and thought of helping his mother-in-law take care of her bedroom, so he pushed open the door and walked in. When she was wiping the table, she saw the telephone on the table, and her mind suddenly moved, remembering that she hadn't been in touch since she separated from Xiuhan, and she didn't know what Xiuhan's current situation had become. She rubbed over to the telephone and looked warily towards the door, but there was hardly any sound except for the occasional breeze stirring the curtains. She remembered Xiuhan's phone number, and the last time she met Xiuhan, she also left her mobile phone number for herself. He didn't hesitate any longer, picked up the microphone and dialed it.

The phone rang for a long time and was hung up. He Tu let out a "huh", looked at the phone strangely, and dialed the phone number again, and was hung up several times in succession before being slowly picked up. But on the other end of the phone was another person's voice, the woman asked in a thick voice, "That one?" ”

"Hello, I'm looking for Xiuhan." He Tu said, and couldn't help but feel even more strange, how could Xiuhan's mobile phone be picked up by someone else.

"Who are you?" The woman said, reproachful in her tone, "You're a fan, aren't you?" Where did you get your phone number? Don't call in the future. ”

"I'm not." He Tu hurriedly said, "I'm Xiuhan's friend, my name is Hedi, you tell her, and she will know." ”

"You're Xiuhan's friend?" The woman hesitated and asked, "Then why doesn't she have your name on her phone?" As soon as her words fell, there was a sudden murmur in the microphone, as if someone had snatched the phone from her hand, and after a while, Xiuhan's voice rang out, and she asked excitedly, "Is it Hedi?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." He replied hurriedly, a smile on her face, extremely bright.

"It's my bad agent just now, you ignore her." Xiu Han said coquettishly, listening from the tone, there was no longer the tiredness and negativity when they met before, and He Tu was a little relieved.

"It's okay, she's good for you." "How are you doing?" Is everything taken care of? ”

Xiuhan responded, her voice was a little dim, but immediately, she laughed and said, "It's all dealt with." ”

"Which one did you choose?" He asked, silently guessing in his heart.

"I gave up on him." Xiuhan said calmly, "I gave up Xing Siyun, we broke up." ”

He was silent for a second before he spoke, "I expected it. ”

Xiu Han laughed and said, "You still know me." She sighed slightly, "I thought about it for a long time before I made up my mind, we may really be not suitable, he will find a better one, that girl will do his wish, do a stable job, gentle and virtuous, they will also have a very obedient child in the future." As she spoke, her tone was a little choked, and although she pretended to be optimistic, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

"It's fine." Hetu hurriedly said, "You'll find a better one too." ”

"Hmm." Xiuhan responded, and when he heard Hedi ask himself how to deal with those outside rumors, he said, "The company has helped me deal with it, their public relations work is very good, and now I have returned to the previous state, and there will be no more problems." ”

He Tu was completely relieved, she held the microphone in her left hand, and slowly stroked her bulging belly with her right hand, and couldn't help laughing: "You know what? I'm pregnant. ”

"What?" Xiuhan exclaimed, "Really? ”

"Really." "It's been five months, and she'll be born in five months." ”

"That's great!" Xiuhan said excitedly, "When she comes out of your belly, I must be her godmother!" ”

"Okay." He agreed, and his tone was slowly doting. She began to look forward to the birth of this child, but she was so slow to conceive that she couldn't see the face of this little guy immediately, and she was a little anxious.

"Remember to call me when you are born, no matter how busy I am, I will go to see you." Xiuhan said again, at this time, a noisy voice suddenly came from the other end of the microphone, Xiuhan hurriedly said, "I'm going to shoot, you have a good rest, don't do too much, don't get tired." ”

"Got it." He Tu smiled, and waited for Xiuhan to hang up the phone before she put down the microphone.

The sun was shining outside, and through the thin curtains, the sunlight cast a slightly swaying golden shadow in a small clearing at the door, and the birds perched on the trees occasionally chirped, everything seemed so beautiful that it was unbearable to break it.

The seasons change, the steaming summer has finally passed, the fruits in the garden are ripe, and the crops in the fields have entered the golden stage. The family began to be noticeably busy.,Kahua and Kaki were also summoned back.,For some reason.,Several people hired in the field are clamoring to leave.,This time the manpower is even more insufficient.。 Everyone gets up before dawn every day, and after breakfast, they have to leave in a hurry. He Tu had a big belly, Cheng Jiahua naturally didn't want her to go, but when he walked to the gate, he found that He Tu was already wearing a straw hat to cover the sun and was standing at the door waiting for them, and his heart was a little unhappy.
