Chapter 2101 Gift Giving
After listening to the aunt's explanation, Miao Liang felt that there was nothing wrong with it: "That's right, anyway, you two are both going to come back, a few minutes earlier or later is not a big deal. What did the doctor say, are Nan Nan and the child okay?" They should be okay. This month, their whole family has been catching up on the knowledge of caring for pregnant women and newborns.
It's not an exaggeration to say that the whole family is mobilized. Even Zhai Yaohui, the head of the family, still wears reading glasses and holds a guide for pregnant women. Of course, among the people in the Zhai family, in addition to Qiao Nan, the pregnant woman, Zhai Sheng, the father, was assigned the most "tasks".
When he was at home, Zhai Sheng had finished two books. When he left, Miao Liang stuffed five more books into Zhai Sheng's pocket, so that he would not fall behind too much "homework" before returning to the army, and he would not be able to take care of Qiao Nan after returning. As a husband and a father, Zhai Sheng must not only master the skills of caring for pregnant women, but more importantly, he must master the skills of caring for children.
Whenever Zhai Sheng is at home, things like feeding the child and changing diapers are of course all taken care of by Zhai Sheng, and Qiao Nan must take good care of the confinement.
As soon as Qiao Nan was mentioned, Miao Liang lost all her anger. Auntie smiled secretly and raised her voice, saying, "Madam, the doctor said that Nan Nan and the baby are both fine, but our family needs to pay more attention in the future. When Nan Nan is seven months old, our family has to send Nan Nan to the hospital in advance."
Miao Liang's footsteps stopped immediately: "Didn't they say that Nan Nan and the baby are both fine? Why did Nan Nan go to the hospital when she was seven months old? What's wrong?" Only when the pregnant woman and the baby are in bad condition, the pregnant woman will stay in the hospital so long in advance.
"Because..." Auntie looked at Qiao Nan's belly with a smile: "Because Nan Nan has three little babies in her belly, the doctor said that multiple births are prone to premature birth. Nan Nan is not young anymore, and she is pregnant with three at once, so our family needs to pay more attention. Staying in the hospital for seven months is also just in case..."
"Mom..." Qiao Nan's face turned pale, because after Auntie finished saying this, Qiao Nan clearly felt Miao Liang's hand tightening, and then a force pulled her back. It seemed that Miao Liang was about to faint.
Qiao Nan let go of her aunt's hand and held Miao Liang tightly with both hands: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Did you wait for her for too long and get heatstroke?
Not to mention Qiao Nan's pale face, Miao Liang was also scared and broke out in a cold sweat under the scorching sun. Miao Liang shook her head: "Nan Nan, are you okay? Did it hurt you? Are you feeling uncomfortable in your stomach?"
"No, Mom, I'm fine, my stomach is fine too, but you, are you feeling heatstroke?"
"No, no, no..." She didn't feel heatstroke at all, she was clearly crazy with joy: "Nan Nan, did the doctor really say that you have three little babies here?" Miao Liang's hands trembled.
She wanted to touch Qiao Nan's already pregnant belly, but she didn't dare to touch it, for fear that she would startle the three little babies in Qiao Nan's belly.
Three? Three! !
Qiao Nan smiled with her lips pursed, this was not the first time she was so happy. Compared to when she first learned the good news, Qiao Nan had already returned to normal. Qiao Nan took out her prenatal checkup report from the hospital and a dark film: "Mom, look, these are our three babies."
In fact, these three little ones are not easy to recognize. Fortunately, the doctor had already taken Qiao Nan to recognize them in the hospital. Qiao Nan certainly remembers her own children. Facing such an abstract photo, Qiao Nan pointed to Miao Liang clearly: "Mom, look, this is Dabao, this is Erbao, and this is Sanbao, our three babies!"
Three embryonic sacs, three heartbeats, all of which indicate the existence of three little lives that the Zhai family will welcome.
"Oh, our children, our children... they are so good, especially like you and Zhai Sheng, and they are smart at first glance. No, I have to tell your dad." Oh my God, she is going to be a grandmother, she is really going to be a grandmother, not only is she going to be a grandmother, but she is also going to have three little grandchildren at once.
"Old Zhai, Old Zhai, our grandchildren, three, three..." Miao Liang's "three" was about to resound loudly over the courtyard.
In fact, when the aunt said that Qiao Nan was pregnant with three children, the neighbors who had been jealous were already dumbfounded.
Three...
The neighbor looked at Qiao Nan's belly. She couldn't believe that Qiao Nan, who was so thin, had three little babies in her belly. She could really... give birth to...
Triplets, it was really a blessing, she wanted it too. This girl from the countryside was a little old and had a low education, but she could give birth, which was also an advantage.
Within an hour, the good news that the new daughter-in-law of the Zhai family was pregnant with three children had spread throughout the courtyard. No matter what happened in private, everyone had a good relationship with the Zhai family on the surface. The Zhai family was going to have a baby, and it was a big happy event to have three children, so these people had to go to the Zhai family to say congratulations and give some small gifts for the children.
After all, when they had children, the Zhai family also gave them gifts, and they were polite gifts in return.
It’s just that in today’s society, money is worthless and everything is expensive, especially things for children. Of course, it’s not the first time they bought these. Since they have children at home, they can’t save on these expenses. But the only thing that bothers them is that everyone knows that the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family is pregnant with triplets. If you don’t give them gifts, it’s fine. If you want to give them gifts, you must give three points.
The Zhai family gave one and they gave three, that's fine, but the things for boys and girls are different, how to distribute them when buying?
For a while, because of the good news of the Zhai family, the business of maternal and child supplies stores in the capital was booming. Not only were there many people coming to buy, but most importantly, they often encountered people who bought three times the amount. This situation definitely promoted the development of the capital's economy.
In the blink of an eye, it was not even a day, and the Zhai family's hall was filled with all kinds of children's things, almost drowning Qiao Nan who went downstairs to find food: "Mom and Dad, so many things? Where to put them? Is it okay?"
When others came to congratulate, Qiao Nan, as the protagonist, did not appear from beginning to end. Pregnant women are precious, and Qiao Nan's pregnancy is twice as precious. Of course, it is not good for pregnant women when there are many people and the air is mixed. Miao Liang naturally let Qiao Nan go upstairs to rest, and the guests who came to the house were handled by the two old people.
"It's okay, it's okay. We do have to be careful about some things, but we still have to follow the most basic etiquette when dealing with people in China."
