69. Who Makes Me an Honest Person?
"Yan Chu, are you accompanying your wife to the hospital?"
The community where the Yan family lives does not have an elevator. The highest floor is the seventh floor. The Yan family lives on the fourth floor. It is not particularly high, but the sunlight is sufficient, which is a good location.
On the way down from the upstairs, I occasionally meet a few uncles and aunts who go out to buy vegetables in the morning, and greet them with a smile.
"Yes, this is to be safe. Don't you have to go to the hospital every month?"
Yan Chu also smiled and stopped to chat with those uncles and aunts for a while, until Liang Zhizhi pulled his sleeve, then he moved his feet down.
"Chu'er, where is your mother? Why didn't you see your mother accompany you to the prenatal check-up today?" As if remembering something, Yan Chu just walked down one floor with Liang Zhizhi, and was stopped by someone upstairs again.
"Zhizhi has a poor appetite because of pregnancy. My mother went to the countryside early this morning to buy those stupid chickens and eggs raised in the mountains from my aunt's house, and bought a few live fish to make soup for Zhizhi."
Yan Chu leaned his head to the stairs and said to the top.
"Your wife is lucky to have a loving mother-in-law." The man smiled at Yan Chu from above. He saw the half-fallen face of Yan's wife from the corner of his eye and realized that he seemed to have delayed her for too long, so he didn't talk to Yan Chu anymore.
"It's so late. If you go later, you will have to queue up again. Doctor Qiu is the best obstetrician and gynecologist in the county. I don't know how many people register with her every day."
Since Liang Zhizhi announced the good news of her pregnancy, she no longer concealed her temper. Liang Guifen knew that pregnant women have strange tempers, but she advised Yan Chu to be more considerate of her wife. In this way, relying on the piece of meat in her belly, Liang Zhizhi became more and more unsystematic except in front of outsiders.
"Actually, Doctor Wang is pretty good too. If you can't get an appointment with Doctor Qiu, it's the same to see Doctor Wang." Yan Chu was not used to arguing with people, and even when Liang Zhizhi confronted him, he still spoke softly.
"Are you unwilling to spend money on your son?" Liang Zhizhi stopped and looked at Yan Chu coldly.
"Doctor Qiu is an expert. Are you distressed because the expert appointment is a few dollars more expensive than the ordinary outpatient appointment? Yan Chu, why are you such a stingy person? You were not like this when you were dating?"
Liang Zhizhi put one hand on her waist and pointed at Yan Chu with one hand. Now the baby in her belly is more than five months old, but it looks like the belly of a person who is more than seven months old. When she did this action, people were very worried, for fear that she would accidentally fall or something.
"Chu'er, you are arguing with your wife. Zhizhi is still pregnant. Can't you give in to her in anything?"
The couple was deadlocked at the stairs, and another old lady came in.
The old lady's surname was Fang. She was Liang Guifen's dancing partner. The two often danced and exercised together in the morning and evening. They were very good sisters. Therefore, when she saw Yan Chu and Liang Zhizhi seemed to be bickering, she immediately came to persuade them.
"Aunt, we didn't quarrel. It's just that Zhizhi suspected that I was reluctant to spend money on her and the child to see a good doctor. Am I that kind of person?" Yan Chu smiled bitterly, and his frown could kill mosquitoes.
"It's good that you're fine, Zhizhi, don't think too much. No matter what, Yan Chu would not be reluctant to spend money on you and the child. You are in a heavy body now, and anger hurts your body. Don't hurt yourself and the child."
When Mrs. Fang heard that the young couple was arguing about this, she laughed immediately.
Liang Zhizhi got pregnant as soon as she entered the house, and the happiest people were Yan Chu and his mother. As long as Liang Zhizhi wanted, the mother and son would buy it without saying a word.
This is an old neighborhood, and the public security is not very good. Later, all the owners proposed to set up a gate outside the neighborhood. Except for the owners, no outsiders can enter, including couriers.
As a result, all the packages are piled up in the guard room, and they need to pick them up by themselves.
In the past, the mother and son of the Yan family were frugal, and they only had a few packages throughout the year. Now it is different. Every now and then, Yan Chu is seen taking a cart to the guard to load packages. After asking, it is found that all of them are bought by the daughter-in-law of the Yan family.
What kind of oil for preventing stretch marks costs thousands of yuan per set, and what kind of anti-radiation maternity clothes cost 700 or 800 yuan per piece? Which daughter-in-law in the county town spends so much money to have a child? And the daughter-in-law of the Yan family got pregnant right after she got married, and she has never looked for a job. Where did she get the money? It was paid by the mother and son of the Yan family.
This is called not willing to spend money, then what is called spending money.
Old Mrs. Fang usually buys vegetables with Liang Guifen. Before this daughter-in-law came, the mother and son ate simpler. Usually, they would stir-fry two pots of seasonal vegetables, a bowl of meat or a plate of fish, and at most a bowl of soup every day. They were healthy and not wasteful. But since the new daughter-in-law came in, the girl has a picky taste. She won't eat anything other than fresh fish and shrimp. She only eats organic vegetables sold in supermarkets. They are not better than the ones made by the country people themselves, but the price is four or five times that of the same vegetables sold in ordinary vegetable markets.
Since Liang Zhizhi came in, Old Mrs. Fang has seen the food expenses of the Yan family rising rapidly. It was also because the other party was lucky that she got pregnant right after marrying in. Moreover, Yan Chu and her good sister were both gentle. If it were her, she would not indulge the other party so much.
Liang Guifen did not go to the vegetable market with her today. She knew that the other party went to her elder sister's house in the countryside to buy stupid chickens. Now a good stupid chicken costs one or two hundred yuan.
Even with such large amounts of money being spent, Liang Zhizhi still complained that Yan Chu was reluctant to spend. It was a loss for the Yan family as they still had two shops making money, and most people couldn't afford to support such a spendthrift daughter-in-law.
Old Mrs. Fang cursed in her heart, but she smiled kindly at Liang Zhizhi.
"Auntie, there's nothing wrong with us. It's just that my chest has been tight these past few days and I can't sleep well. I can't help but get angry at Yan Chu. I know I treat me well, but I just can't control my mouth when my temper gets angry."
In front of outsiders, Liang Zhiyi was so general and sensible. After listening to her explanation, Mrs. Fang also helped to smooth things over: "That's what happens when you're pregnant. It'll be fine after you give birth to a child."
"Okay, don't delay. If you go late, you won't be able to make it home for lunch." The old lady waved to the young couple and told them to leave quickly.
Liang Zhizhi was pregnant, so Yan Chu stepped forward to help her. The old lady looked at the young couple walking away, suddenly patted her head and remembered something, and quickly chased after her.
"snort!"
Over there, Liang Zhizhi saw that Yin should have walked out of the sight of their building, and waved away Yan Chu's hand without thinking.
After getting along with this idiot for a long time, she was worried that the child in her belly would also become stupid. What's more, even though he had been married for so many months, he still refused to listen and kept his rustic dress. Liang Zhizhi would not go out unless necessary. I would be happy to have some close contact with Yan Chu.
Now that she has thoroughly figured out the other party's character, he is a good person who tolerates compromises and does not get angry easily. When he loses his temper with Yan Chu, Liang Zhizhi is not worried at all that the other party will resist.
Old Mrs. Fang, who just remembered that she forgot to tell Yan Chu that her mother's mobile phone was in arrears and asked him not to worry if he couldn't make a call, happened to see Liang Zhizhi slap away Yan Chu's hand that was supporting her.
Doesn’t this Yan family’s daughter-in-law look right?
In the past, the old lady in front had a problem with my good sister's daughter-in-law spending money lavishly, but the money they spent was not her money, and she had nothing to say, but now it seems that the Yan family's daughter-in-law does not care about Yan Chu at all. Take it seriously.
The old lady had something hidden in her mind and did not pursue her. She just talked about it with her daughter-in-law when she went home.
The Fang family's daughter-in-law is known as a big-mouthed woman who loves to gossip and has many friends. Basically, what she knows will be known to half the county in a short time.
Today she heard her mother-in-law talk about the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, but she didn't take it seriously. Until something happened later, which made her recall this memory and added fuel to the public opinion at that time.
"Okay, get out."
When it was Liang Zhizhi's turn to take the ultrasound, she asked Yan Chu to go out and wait.
"My husband was with me during the inspection." This time, Yan Chu seemed to be holding back, his feet stuck to Liang Zhizhi's side and refused to leave.
"I'm doing a B-ultrasound. It's not convenient for you, a grown man, here."
Liang Zhizhi frowned and said.
"What's the inconvenience? I'm your husband, not another wild man." Yan Chu frowned and plucked up the courage to retort to Liang Zhizhi.
"Yan Chu, what are you talking about, wild man? Do you want to anger the child in my belly to death?" Liang Zhizhi looked like he was about to get off the instrument, his face full of humiliation, shame and anger.
"Comrade, your wife is pregnant with your child now. How can you say such things to her?" Dr. Qiu, the doctor Liang Zhizhi appointed every time, said to Yan Chu with disapproval. .
"Forget it, you'd better go out first."
Dr. Qiu waved his hand to Yan Chu. The doctor had already spoken, and Yan Chu had no choice but to do so.
This kind of scene happens almost every time during prenatal check-up. Just like every final ending, Yan Chu leaves with a sad face. At the same time, seemingly unintentionally, he takes the bag of things he brought with him, He casually placed it on the chair where his family members were sitting, then closed the door and left.
"Come out again?"
Yan Chu accompanied his wife to prenatal check-ups every time, and some pregnant women's family members recognized his face. After all, he was the first man to be kicked out every time his wife had a check-up.
The daughter-in-law of another family wishes that her man would accompany her every day. The daughter-in-law of this family is rather peculiar and is particularly impatient with her husband.
Also, the man in front of me is not good-looking, and his wife is still attractive even though she has a big belly. She wears light makeup every time she comes for a check-up, and she doesn't look like a pregnant woman at all.
One is simple and the other is brilliant. I don’t know how these two people with completely different personalities got together.
Yan Chu smiled at the person who was teasing him, then he randomly found an empty seat and sat down, took out his mobile phone with headphones plugged in, put on the earplugs and looked like he was listening to music.
"Your due date is almost a month away. It's a boy. The baby is very healthy."
A middle-aged woman's voice came from the headphones.
"Doctor, are you sure it's a boy?" The voice was younger.
"It's easy for a girl to turn into a boy, but it's not easy for a boy to turn into a girl. It's almost certain that it's a boy." Another middle-aged female voice said: "Your husband is probably getting suspicious. That's all I can help you. You can figure out the rest by yourself." manage."
"Thank you, Doctor Qiu. I will definitely thank you deeply when I give birth to this child safely."
I could only hear some rustling sounds of stuffing things in.
"Doctor Qiu, which days will you be on duty next month?"
After that burst of noise, the young woman's voice came again.
There was a moment of silence......
"I will be in the hospital on the 23rd of next month. If something unexpected happens, please make this call before coming to the hospital. I will rush back as soon as possible."
After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, the young woman was grateful again.
Yan Chu took off his earplugs and saved the recording. He took a quick glance at the page on his phone. The folder was filled with recordings and videos with similar titles, but he didn't know what they were.
He put his phone in his pocket. Not long after, the door of the examination room was opened. Liang Zhizhi came out in a good mood, carrying the bag that Yan Chu had just left inside.
