Chapter 2068 Fetal Movement
Joan remembered that on the eve of the "Battle of Lake Aosta", Sluder revealed that her parents were considering having another child, and after two years, they finally got their wish.
"There is an outbreak of infectious disease in the town, and Aunt Ishta is staying here to give birth...isn't that good?" Joan asked worriedly.
"My dad and I also had concerns about this. We persuaded my mother to return to Shizhu Town to raise a baby more than once, but she was surprisingly stubborn and insisted on staying in Hegu Town with her family. She also said that she would give birth to her third child in this symbolic race. A reconciled town, as if it would be blessed."
Slude shrugged disapprovingly.
"Fortunately, my mother is a Druid. Even if she has any symptoms, she can also cast spells to heal her. In terms of health, there is no need to worry too much..."
Haakon coughed heavily beside his sister.
Slude kept silent alertly, looked up, and found that her mother was standing at the door with her bloated belly leaning against the wall, her face full of smiles.
"Mom! Why did you get up by yourself? Be careful!"
Slude hurried over to help the disabled mother, and blamed her for strenuous activities.
"Silly girl, you and Haakon were both born by me. I know that proper exercise is only good for pregnant women. What do you know as an unmarried girl? Don't make a fuss and worry about it!"
Mrs. Ishta shook off her daughter's hand nonchalantly, walked over slightly staggering, and hugged Joan with a smile.
"Son, counting from the day you left Shizhu Town, three years have passed in a blink of an eye. You have grown taller and more handsome than before. Do you have any good friends in college?"
"Auntie, this... seems not yet." Joan scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Really?" Mrs. Ishta suddenly became excited, "My Slude is not married yet, do you think it's a coincidence?"
Qiao An thought to herself, with Esrud's fiery temper and critical eyes, it's unbelievable that he really found a suitable partner. Of course, these words can only be complained in my heart, but I dare not say it out, otherwise the "Iron Rose of Shizhu Town" will not be blown up on the spot...
"Mom! Don't say such nonsense, it's not that I can't get married, it's just that I'm not interested in men!" Slude said angrily with a blushing face.
Audrey and Hylar looked at each other when they heard the words, and both held back their smiles to help Slude smooth things over. In fact, it was to prevent Mrs. Ishta from forcing her daughter and Joan, a single young man, into a pair again...
Mrs. Ishta warmly invited the guests to come in and sit down to drink tea, and then arranged for the children to taste sweets and snacks.
On the low table next to the bed in the bedroom, there are piles of needlework and colorful fabrics, as well as many small clothes and shoes, obviously all for babies.
"Wow! What cute little shoes!" Hailar's eyes lit up, "Auntie, you made these little clothes and shoes yourself, right?"
"Anyway, I have nothing to do at home, and I can't be idle, so I prepared some things for the baby in my stomach that will be used in the future. Bonna and Slude also helped me make some." Mrs. Ishta pointed out Looking at the pair of baby shoes in Hailaer's hand, he said cheerfully, "Those shoes are made by Slude, aren't they not bad?"
"Ah? Slude, do you know how to do needlework?" Holden looked over in surprise.
"Haha! Didn't expect that? Don't look at my sister who always puts on a fierce face, as if she will roll up her sleeves to fight with others at any time, but she is actually a good girl with ingenuity and gentleness." Ha Kang said with a smile .
"Iron Rose of Shizhu Town" glared at his brother in embarrassment, got up and said, "Talk slowly, I'll go to the kitchen to see how the lunch preparations are going!"
Joan looked at the back of Slude fleeing in a hurry, and it was not difficult to imagine her embarrassment, but she felt a little sympathy.
After a while, Slude slipped back as if nothing had happened, and heard that her mother was teaching Hailar and Audrey child-rearing experience. The two innocent girls listened with great interest, and sometimes asked some childish and ridiculous questions, so they also walked over to join Chatting, completely forgetting that just now I publicly declared that I practice "celibacy" of infertility.
Joan was listening to the chatting of the women, and her eyes were on Mrs. Ishtar's swollen belly.
While hesitating, Hailaer seemed to have a tacit understanding with him, and eagerly asked Mrs. Ishtar: Can I come closer and listen to the baby's heartbeat.
Mrs. Ishtar smiled and nodded in agreement. Hailar cheered, put his ear on her abdomen, held his breath, and listened carefully.
"Did you hear that?" Joan asked eagerly.
Hailar turned his head, smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"It's my turn! It's my turn! Auntie! I want to listen to the baby's heartbeat!"
"Okay, come and listen! When you are pregnant with your own baby, you will know how hard it is to have a 'little rascal' in your stomach!" Mrs. Ishta complained, but her movements of stroking her abdomen were full of kindness.
Audrey excitedly approached Mrs. Ishtar, and put her ear against her abdomen to listen to the fetal movement. The expression on her handsome face instantly became extraordinarily gentle.
"You guys, it's so rare and strange!" Slude sat on the carpet with his legs spread apart, proudly holding his shoulders, "I listen to it several times a day, and I'm tired of listening to it! Let me tell you a secret, that little guy is naughty When you are upset, you will kick me through my mother's belly!"
Joan also wanted to hear the heartbeat of the little life in Madam Ishtar's womb, but after all, she was too embarrassed to speak.
In a second thought, it occurred to him that using the "see-through hand mirror" could tell whether Mrs. Ishta was pregnant with a boy or a girl, but she realized that it was impolite to do so, so she held back in the end.
Pregnancy is a very hard job, and Mrs. Ishtar couldn't help yawning after chatting with the young people for a while.
Seeing this, Audrey told her to take a good rest and bid farewell on behalf of the visitors.
Madam Ishta reluctantly sent them out of the bedroom, and told Haakon and Slude to entertain the guests well.
Haakon suggested that we all have lunch together.
The impatient Holden wanted to go to the hospital first.
"Let's eat first." Leaving his mother's bedroom, Slude regained his indifference, "If you go to the hospital first, I'm afraid you won't have the appetite to eat."
What she said was an understatement, but Joan heard it, but her heart trembled, and her ominous premonition grew stronger.
After a hasty lunch, Haakon and Slude took the visitors to a warehouse behind the house and took out six outlandish outfits for everyone to wear.
The clothes and pants of this kind of clothing are connected as a whole, with slits on the back and a row of buttons nailed. The buttons, the surface of the clothing are painted with a layer of raw lacquer cut from the sumac tree, which looks like a diving suit with a hood.
"This is a protective suit made by ourselves. We put it on when we work in the hospital, and take it off when we leave the hospital, and disinfect it centrally to avoid infection with viruses," Haakon said.
