Chapter 20: Pregnant
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Tao Xiaoqi remembered very well that she was splashing the road in front of the house with washing water, because it was snowing again, and the heavy snow covered the road. The sister-in-law came at this time, with a smile on her face, uncontrollably excited, but cautious and extraordinarily cautious.
"Is this a good thing?" Tao Xiaoqi smiled as she held the basin.
"Pregnant, pregnant!" The sister-in-law whispered and couldn't wait.
Tao Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Did you go to check?" ”
"Uh-huh!" Zhou Lan nodded repeatedly.
"Let's go, let's go inside, and I'll check your pulse again." Tao Xiaoqi also jumped with joy.
Sure enough, it was a slippery vein.
"It's true, sister-in-law Zhou Lan, congratulations." Momo Xiaoqi congratulated.
Zhou Lan knelt down with a thud on the chair, unable to speak, just kowtowing to Tao Xiaoqi.
Tao Xiaoqi was frightened, and hurriedly helped Zhou Lan up, "Be careful about the fetus in your belly, get up quickly!" ”
Zhou Lan got up at this time, and thanked Tao Xiaoqi with tears in her eyes.
"Xiao Qian, to be honest, I didn't believe it, but there is really no way, I plan to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, take one step at a time, I never thought that you really let me get pregnant, you can rest assured, I Zhou Lan will do what she says, from today onwards, I will repay you as a cow and a horse, as long as you have a place to use me, just open your mouth."
Tao Xiaoqi smiled, "I'm a barefoot doctor, I didn't focus on this before, so almost no one knows that I still have this hand, and now I am planning to start my old business, and I hope that Sister-in-law Zhou Lan will help me publicize more." ”
"That's no problem, it's on me, I promise to let everyone in ten miles and eight towns know that Mantou Village has a miracle doctor, don't worry." Zhou Lan patted her chest and reassured.
"That's okay, you have to be more careful in the early stages of pregnancy, and you have to pay attention to your diet, and after the first three months, you will basically be stable."
"I know, I must be careful." The sister-in-law burst into tears as she spoke.
When she was about to leave, Tao Xiaoqi told her again, "Don't tell others first, and we'll talk about it in two or three months." ”
"I wish I could tell the world right away and let everyone in Mantou Village know." The sister-in-law is very happy, and she really can't hide it.
"Then you have to bear with it, but you can talk to your eldest brother and your mother-in-law so that they can take care of you."
"Okay, I will listen to you, sure enough, you are from here, and my sister-in-law will listen to you." The sister-in-law happily went back cautiously.
Tao Xiaoqi was also really happy, and when she turned around, she remembered to ask her sister-in-law about the clothes, and she didn't know if it was done.
Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law and her thought of a piece, and asked someone to send her clothes back, and it was Li Nanshan who was entrusted to her.
Tao Xiaoqi died directly at that moment, and her sister-in-law actually asked Li Nanshan to send clothes over, and then she gave them to him after she was ready? Doesn't that mean telling him that the clothes are made by his sister-in-law? It's been stupid for three years to be pregnant, and the sister-in-law has to be stupid for at least five years!
"My sister-in-law said that the sleeves are missing, let you sew them yourself, and everything else will live." Li Nanshan said with a glance.
"Do you know who this dress is for?" Tao Xiaoqi held on to the last glimmer of hope.
"Yes, me." Well, the last glimmer of hope was extinguished.
Tao Xiaoqi was speechless, and a hundred regretted asking Zhou Lan to make the clothes.
"Sister-in-law said, you are grateful to me for helping me that time, in fact, no, I am just a gesture, if it were someone else, I would do the same, and if it was someone else, someone else would also help." Li Nanshan explained.
"That's the same, if it were someone else, I would have given him a set of clothes." Tao Xiaoqi is now learning to sell the Tao.
This time, it was embarrassing to change Li Nanshan.
"I received the heart, but I can't accept the clothes."
"The clothes are all made according to your measurements, and if you don't accept them, it will be tantamount to harming me."
"How?" Li Nanshan was puzzled.
"You think, I have such a set of men's clothes at home, in case someone bumps into it, how can I explain it?"
"Let's just say it's Brother Wangcai."
"Bah, he's not worthy!" Peach Xiaoqi didn't hold back.
Li Nanshan was surprised and laughed, "You two...... Sun Wangcai is coming out soon, right? ”
"Not so fast, it's still a few months." Momo played with her hair.
"And what are you going to do?" Li Nanshan suddenly asked this sentence.
"Then listen carefully, I plan to take Bei Bei to you when he comes out."
"Huh?!" Li Nanshan was bluffed.
Seeing his expression, Tao Xiaoqi smiled, "Teasing you, watching scares you, but do you hate us so much?" Tao Xiaoqi looked at him, half joking and half serious.
Li Nanshan turned his head, as if he had answered and then as if he had not answered.
"I remember that the matchmaker of the Qing family wrote a marriage letter for the two of us, if I really defect to you, I will be considered a famous teacher, do you say?" Tao Xiaoqi blinked her eyes and looked at him with her mouth pursed.
Li Nanshan finally understood the ridicule in Tao Xiaoqi's words, and relaxed, "You come, I will never drive you away, I treat you as my own sister, and you will have a bite to eat if I have a mouthful." ”
"Who wants to be your sister!" Momo muttered dissatisfiedly.
"What did you say?" Li Nanshan didn't hear it.
"I said you would come tomorrow to get your clothes."
"I can't ask for it."
"If you don't want me, I'll throw it away."
Li Nanshan was a little helpless, "I'll go to the mine tomorrow." ”
"Take it by the road when you go, and I'll do it tonight."
Li Nanshan was silent, and Tao Xiaoqi knew that this was a tacit acquiescence.
But the next day, Tao Xiaoqi waited for Li Nanshan to come over at the left and right lights at the door of the house, and saw that it was noon, but no one came, but she looked forward to the sister-in-law.
"Sensei waited for Nanshan, he left in the middle of the night last night."
"Leaving in the middle of the night?" Tao Xiaoqi sighed in her heart, is it to avoid her?
"The coal truck from the mine came in in the middle of the night to pick him up, and I didn't have time to tell you, so I won't tell you about it today, so I'll give him the clothes next time."
Tao Xiaoqian's clutching heart was loosened again, "Sister-in-law Lan, don't gasp when you speak." ”
"I'm not gasping for breath, I'm just a little nauseous and want to throw up." After the sister-in-law finished speaking, she retched twice.
Tao Xiaoqi shook her head, this sister-in-law is really real in the world.
But as long as Li Nanshan doesn't hide from her, it's okay.
"Sister-in-law Zhou Lan, do you have the address on Li Nanshan's mine, I want to send him the clothes, but when it's hot, I can't wear them again, aren't I working in vain?"
"That's right, you wait for me to go back and copy one for you, he has written back." The sister-in-law smiled.
Halfway through walking, he turned back, "Look at my memory, I forgot to give you the money." ”
"What's the money?"
"Medicine money, my mother-in-law was very happy when she learned that I was pregnant, and gave me money on the spot for me to give it to you, and thank you very much." As she spoke, the sister-in-law took out a cloth bag from her trouser pocket, untied it, and took out five yuan.
Tao Xiaoqi pressed back, "Sister-in-law, I didn't want your money, and you also made me clothes." ”
"Are you too little? But my sister-in-law can only take out so much. ”
"I didn't mean that, you listen to me, I need your help in the future."
"If you are busy, you can say that you still need the money for the medicine, and one yard will be one yard."
"Then I'm embarrassed to ask you to help again, let's settle it together."
The sister-in-law was embarrassed, and she didn't want to lose this capable friend who could speak.
"Okay, that's it, I'll look for you in the future." Tao Xiaoqi took the opportunity to say.
The sister-in-law burst into tears, "Xiaoqian, why do you say that you are so good, Sun Wangcai still treats you like that......"
Tao Xiaoqi was very helpless and interrupted her, "Sister-in-law, let's not mention the past, look forward." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, you see what I'm doing when I mention that, let's look forward."
