Chapter 105 Prepare

When they got home, it was clear that Ruirui was playing with Xiao Shishi in the yard of Zhou’s house. When the jeep stopped, Mingming ran out first, jumped to look into the car, and called out to his parents and grandmother.

It happened that Mother Lin was sitting on the right, and she got off the car just in front of Mingming. She looked at her head first, and said with satisfaction, “I have grown taller.”

“I’ve grown a lot taller this year!” Mingming said as he gestured to Mother Lin, “I’ll be as tall as your grandmother next year!”

Mother Lin looked at the slash drawn clearly and laughed, “Okay, grandma is waiting for you to grow so tall.”

While speaking, Rarity also came over and shouted, “Grandma.”

Mother Lin responded with a smile, and said to her daughter, “Rui Rui looks calmer than before.”

Before Lin Wei could speak, she asked with a surprised expression, “Grandma, can you tell us apart?”

Although in the eyes of Lin Wei and Zong Shao, it is clear that Ruirui is very different, but they are identical twins after all, and their appearance is very similar. Even if their neighbors are often seen in the family area, they may not be able to accurately identify who they are, and Mother Lin has not seen them for nearly a year, and she can accurately call out their names, obviously very surprised.

Mother Lin said inscrutable: “Of course, you are my grandson. No matter how long we have been apart, I will definitely recognize you.”

In fact, Mother Lin distinguishes the two children by their personality. Although Ruirui looks alike, they have completely different personalities. One is stupid and the other is more calm. As soon as they made expressions or opened their mouths to speak, Mother Lin could recognize them.

Mingming didn’t know that the image in her grandmother’s eyes was stupid, she said with a look of admiration: “Grandma is amazing.”

Mother Lin smiled and greeted Xiao Shishi again.

Xiao Shi still remembered Mother Lin, so he stepped forward and shouted, “Hello, grandma.”

After the greeting, the whole family went back.

They entered the house through the back door, and as soon as they put down their things, Zhang Lan came in through the front door and quickly poured tea for a few people.

In the letter that Lin Wei sent back, she said about asking for a nanny, so she was not surprised when she saw that there was a stranger at home. She took the enamel cup from Zhang Lan with both hands and thanked her, and asked with a smile: “Are you Comrade Zhang?”

“Yes, my name is Zhang Lan, auntie, you can just call me Xiao Zhang.” Zhang Lan introduced herself.

Mother Lin said, “Okay, then I’ll call you Xiao Zhang, and you don’t have to, it sounds weird.”

Zong Shao and Lin Wei were married for the first few years. When I got home, I saw that she and her husband were also full of you. She didn’t say anything to that at first, but she couldn’t help but mention a few words later. After that, he got a little better, and now it’s just her. Bring out your words when talking about their young couple.

Not only Zong Shao, but also Lin Wei. I didn’t have this problem before. It is estimated that Zong Shao took him after joining the army, and it is unlikely that he can change it.

Mother Lin is too lazy to talk about them now, but she knows that Zhang Lan’s shouting is because she is cautious, so she mentioned it.

After Zhang Lan listened to it, she didn’t include your words when she spoke to Mother Lin again. She spoke at ease, and Mother Lin felt more comfortable. After drinking the tea, he opened the luggage and took out the things that he brought to Lin Wei and them one by one.

Because she came alone, she couldn’t bring much, so she didn’t bring food this time, only some dried vegetables and pickles, and the rest was the clothes she prepared for her grandson/granddaughter who was about to be born.

When she was in the car, Mother Lin only said that she had prepared a few clothes, but after opening it, she brought more than just clothes, the children’s shoes and socks, hats, and even quilts.

Lin Wei couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you prepare so many things?”

“Given your birth in November, I started preparing a few months ago, and I saved so much by getting a few injections in my spare time.”

Mother Lin said and picked up one of the bright yellow clothes, “This is made by your second sister-in-law, because I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl. Before she made it, she asked me what color cloth I used. I was thinking about the newborn child. , it’s right to wear bright yellow, light blue, or white and red, she just pulled a piece of fabric of this color.” The clothes she made by herself were basically these colors.

Lin Wei took the clothes and said, “Second sister-in-law has a heart.”

“Your second sister-in-law is good.” After Mother Lin finished speaking, she asked Lin Wei if she had prepared the children’s old clothes, especially diapers. She didn’t.

Lin Wei said: “I prepared a few pieces, all of which were made from the old clothes of the two children.”

Lying on the coffee table and watching them chatting, Mingming said, “Use our clothes as diapers?”

Lin Wei asked back, “What’s wrong with using your clothes as diapers? The diapers you use are still made from my old clothes.”

“When did we use diapers? I’ll pee myself when I’m three years old!” Mingming emphasized that he always thought that a child his age would not be able to wet the bed, but one day he heard other children in the family area talk about it, I just learned that some children wet the bed at the age of four or five.

While it was an eye-opener, he was also quite proud, he felt that he was too powerful!

Oh, my brother is also very good. As for Xiao Shi, he didn’t wet the bed this year, so he’s just… average.

Mother Lin laughed: “You can pee yourself when you are three years old. What about before three years old? Especially when you are a few months old, of course you have to use diapers.”

Of course he couldn’t remember something that was a few months old. He said with a tangled face, “But using our clothes as diapers always feels weird.”

Lin Wei said, “What’s so strange? It’s old clothes that are too small. You won’t wear them again in the future. After cutting them into diapers, you won’t be able to wear them, and you won’t be allowed to wear clothes that have been urinated by your younger siblings.”

“It seems to be the same.” Mingming was persuaded, rubbed his face and said, “Then you can use it.”

Lin Wei went upstairs to get the prepared diapers, because Ruirui clearly had two or three clothes every season, and some of the clothes were too hard and not suitable for making diapers. The fabrics she could use were very limited. In addition, the diapers should not be too thin, and several layers of fabric are often required, so Lin Wei only made seven or eight diapers in total.

Mother Lin said at a glance, “This is not enough, it’s better to prepare more.”

Although diapers can be reused, it is important for children to change three or four diapers a day, or even more.

In addition, diapers are easily hardened and damaged by frequent washing, and a batch of diapers must be changed every month. After the child is born, there must be a lot of things, and you may not be able to make diapers at that time. Prepare diapers.

Only seven or eight are enough.

Of course Lin Wei knows this, but: “I don’t have so many old clothes at home for now.”

Upon hearing this, Mother Lin opened another duffel bag and said, “I guessed that you might not have enough old clothes before I came. I took some Ming Ruirui and your old clothes before I came.”

Lin Wei came to accompany the army. Of course, it was impossible to bring everything at home, so she basically sold those that could be sold, and the rest of the clothes and bedding that she did not wear were taken back to her parents’ home. Her parents can cover the bedding. As for the clothes, they don’t take up much space in a box anyway, so they can be kept.

Lin Wei didn’t expect her mother to be so far-sighted, she brought so many old clothes with her, and she was surprised: “Mom, why are you so smart, you expected everything?”

“I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten of rice, of course you can expect it.” Mother Lin said proudly, “But I thought about it too late, otherwise I would have cut my clothes at home.”

Lin Wei immediately said, “It’s not too late, not too late at all. Anyway, there’s still some time before the baby is born, so take it slow.”

Mother Lin nodded: “I can only rush to work during this time.”

…

Because Mother Lin came over, the Zong family ate a lot that night.

In the second trimester of pregnancy, Lin Wei didn’t have any particularly taboo food. She insisted on saying the same thing, which is egg custard. During pregnancy, she really had to drink and vomit.

Mother Lin’s reaction to this was: “I think you are living a good life, hypocritical, those daughters-in-law in our brigade are pregnant, who can drink a bowl of egg custard every day, and they will be bubbling happily that day. Just you, It’s a shame to drink it!”

Lin Wei held her stomach and said: “Don’t yell at me, come at it, it’s not me, it’s it. Mom, don’t worry, when it is born, I will definitely teach it a lesson, how can it be so disobedient. What? Egg custard is such a rare thing, you still despise it, and you haven’t eaten hard at first glance!”

Listening to Lin Wei’s helpless words, Mother Lin was speechless for a while, but she didn’t say anything.

Although egg custard can’t be drunk, Lin Wei can eat scrambled eggs and boiled eggs, especially scrambled eggs with green peppers. She likes spicy food recently, and she can eat two bowls of rice with this dish.

Knowing that her daughter likes spicy food, Mother Lin muttered when she went to bed at night: “Sour son and spicy daughter, are you carrying a daughter in your stomach?”

“I’m also looking forward to being a daughter.” Lin Wei said.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a daughter, you can make up a good word.” Mother Lin was lying on the bed, looking at the snow-white ceiling and said, “I just don’t know when your second brother will have a son.”

Lin Wei knows that preference for sons over daughters is a common problem for most people in this era. Her parents are good enough to her, and she has never been biased towards anyone when it comes to studying. She even attached a dowry when she got married, which Zong Shao gave The dowry let her take it back intact.

But this does not change their thinking that only sons can pass on the family, so her second brother and second sister-in-law have no children, and her parents are worried. When they give birth to a daughter, her parents are still worried.

Lin Wei couldn’t blame her parents too much, she could only persuade her: “Second sister-in-law only gave birth to Niuniu at the beginning of the year, even if she is pregnant again, it will take a year and a half in between, and I’ll talk about it when I get my body back, you are in front of me. Forget it, don’t mention it in front of my brother and sister-in-law, otherwise they will be under a lot of pressure.”

“I know, I didn’t mention it in front of them, right? Although Niuniu is not yet a year old, they have been married for many years…” Lin Mu said, she couldn’t help sighing.

“What should come will always come. If it doesn’t come, it’s my second brother’s problem too.”

Mother Lin turned her head and asked, “What’s your second brother’s problem?”

Lin Wei explained: “I heard people say that a boy or a girl is not determined by a woman, but by a man’s genes.”

Mother Lin didn’t understand what a gene was, but she didn’t agree with Lin Wei’s words, so she said: “Nonsense, Lin Erjiang in our brigade gave birth to three daughters with the previous daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law died in childbirth, and the second wife was the second. He gave birth to a big fat boy in 2018. Besides, in our family, your father and your elder brother have sons, so how could your second elder brother not have a son?”

“Then there are people in the brigade next door who have several daughters with their ex-husbands. Others say that she can’t give birth to a son. After the marriage, the husband dies and then finds a son! As for the brothers in the family who have sons, if there is no one, our hometown It’s not that there isn’t, it’s just that most people put the excuse on women, but if you think about it carefully, don’t those women’s brothers and sisters have sons?”

After Lin Wei finished asking, she said without waiting for Mother Lin to answer, “No, it’s just that they are used to putting reasons on women, Mom, you are an open-minded person in our family, you can’t do this when you are obviously a woman. Blame everything on women.”

“Okay, don’t put a high hat on me.” Mother Lin couldn’t see what Lin Wei was thinking, so she couldn’t help muttering, “When did your second sister-in-law bribe you and ask you to speak for her like this? ?”

Lin Wei said, “I’m not speaking for the second sister-in-law, I’m speaking for our women.”

Mother Lin asked angrily, “As you say, if I urge them, I won’t stand with the woman?”

“You are distorting my meaning. What I mean is that if the second brother and the second sister-in-law are pregnant with a daughter, the reason must be my second brother. Even if you want to blame him, you should blame him.”

No matter whether her second brother and second sister-in-law will be reborn in the future, whether she will have a son, or whether their relationship is good or bad without a son, she doesn’t want her mother to be this wicked person.

“And now it’s a new society. The emphasis is on equality between men and women. It’s different from before. Even if you have a daughter, it may not be worse than having a son. Anyway, I’m willing to give you old age in the future.”

Mother Lin was still frowning, and she felt at ease when she heard the last sentence, but she still said, “No matter what the outside world is like, in our hometown, our son is still in the old age. My father and I have two sons, so why should you give them to me? Let’s get old. As for your second brother and second sister-in-law, I don’t care about them, okay?”

“I’m just advising you, don’t say the old saying, children and grandchildren will have their own children and grandchildren. It’s not good for you to interfere too much in their affairs. Anyway, as long as the few of us are filial, you and my father will be able to live happily in our later years. You worry so much. What are you doing?”

Mother Lin found out that after her daughter joined the army, her thoughts were climbing up, and she couldn’t keep up.

However, although she had reservations about other matters, Lin Wei said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. It may not be good for the elders to intervene too much. She believed this and said with a sigh, “Okay, let them go.”

Having said that, after a while, Mother Lin couldn’t help but open her eyes again and asked, “What do you say, is it true that a man decides whether to have a son or a daughter?”

“Of course it’s true, I heard what the doctor said.” Lin Wei said firmly, in fact, she read this from the original book.

But Mother Lin didn’t know the source, so she basically believed what Lin Wei said was from the doctor, so she often sighed and stopped talking.

…

On the second day after Mother Lin went to the island, she, Lin Wei and Zhang Lan started making diapers. Although this work was trivial, the division of labor was fast.

Although Lin Wei had to work, and she had to sit for a while with a big belly, she had to get up and move around without much effort, but Mother Lin and Zhang Lan moved quickly and made more than 50 diapers in ten days.

In addition to the seven or eight diapers that Lin Wei had made before, these diapers can be used for at least half a year. Mother Lin thought that it was enough, so she put this matter on hold and devoted herself to the issue of giving birth to her daughter.

Because Lin Wei gave birth to Rui Rui several days earlier than expected, this time Lin’s mother became nervous several days ahead of schedule. As a result, several days have passed since the due date, and Lin Wei’s stomach has no movement. old shígG duga

The child didn’t make a sound. Mother Lin and Zong Shao couldn’t let go of their hearts. Lin Wei was nervous and worried. She was admitted to the hospital the day before her due date. There was no sign of giving birth, and for a while she didn’t know whether to continue living or go home to give birth.

On this matter, Mother Lin couldn’t give Lin Wei any advice, and she was very entangled.

In the end, Zong Shao made the decision, saying that he did not want to take any risks if he continued to live.

Mother Lin was very satisfied with his answer. Although she was distressed about money, she would still be angry if Zong Shao wanted to save money on the big event of her daughter’s production.

Zong Shao knew that he felt sorry for her daughter, which was fine.

Of course, it would be better if the child in her daughter’s belly was not so slow and refused to come out.

It turned out that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would arrive. In the afternoon, Mother Lin had just finished whispering to her daughter, and Lin Wei started in the evening.
