Chapter 129 The second sister-in-law also has one
“Wow, there are so many dishes.”
During lunch, Tianxiu was surprised as soon as the table was served. The whole table was filled with dishes. On the New Year’s Eve dinner, Tianxiu was surprised. It's not that exaggerated. "Tianxiu, all these dishes today were brought by my uncle's mother all the way from southern Henan." Lao Dou laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his teeth.
“These chickens, ducks and sheep are raised by our family, these intestines are killed by our own pigs, and this millet is grown by our family.” Pandan Introducing to everyone with a proud look on his face, Kang Qirui sighed secretly: It seems that my sister-in-law's family is not as poor as the legend says. They raise chickens, ducks and sheep, and they are already better than many people.
"The steamed buns are here, the steamed buns are here." Xianglan's mother even went in and made a large plate of steamed buns herself. "The steamed buns are so big." Everyone saw that the steamed buns were quite big. The two steamed buns usually bought on the street were not as big as the one here. However, Xianglan's mother still thought it was small. She said, "This is still small. You are delicate and elegant people from the city. I just made it so small. When I make it at home, I usually make it this big." Pandan’s mother made a shape the size of a football with her hands.
"My grandma is really good at steaming steamed buns. The whole kitchen is filled with fragrance." Mom also praised Pandan's mother, "Come on, come on, eat the steamed buns." Xianglan's mother happily picked up the steamed buns and handed them to everyone. Xianglan stopped her, "Mom, don't take it with your hands." She was afraid that her mother would be disliked by her family.
My mother said considerately: "Don't be afraid, we have washed our hands in the kitchen just now." No one said anything, they used actions to show that they didn't mind, just take one from me Get one.
“It’s so sweet.” Kang Qirui ate half of it and thought it was very good. He gave a thumbs up and praised it. "Yeah, I don't even add sugar, it's purely natural." Pandan's mother said with a smile. "The one without sugar?" Kang Qirui was even more surprised. It was so sweet without sugar. He saw that Zhu Wanling had finished the one in her hand, so he took another one. This natural one without additives is most suitable for pregnant women.
“Come on, Pandan, let’s try the duck meat that mom brought.” Panlan’s mother gave Panlan a piece of meat to eat. "Mom, this is inedible, this duck is 'cold'." Lao Dou immediately called out to Panlan's mother.
"Huh? Cold? No, my mother-in-law cooked it warm." Xianglan's mother asked doubtfully, not understanding what Lao Dou said. "Mom, what people in Guangfu call cool is different from what we call coolness." Xianglan explained. "Yes, sister-in-law, my dad means that duck meat is a cold food and is not suitable for pregnant women." Kang Qirui explained from a scientific perspective.
"Oh, that's it. Let's eat mutton. The mutton is hot." Panlan's mother seemed to understand, and then she was about to give the mutton to Panlan. "Wait a minute, you can't eat this either. It's too 'hot'. The calories in mutton are relatively high, so it's not suitable for eating." Kang Qirui quickly stopped Pandan's mother. He had no idea what pregnant women can and cannot eat. So experienced, Zhu Wanling has been pregnant for so long.
"Ah? Let's eat goose meat." Panlan's mother pointed at the goose meat.
"This won't work either. Goose meat is poisonous and internally poisonous. Pregnant women cannot eat it." Kang Qirui said again, "What can I eat?" Panlan's mother frowned and asked. I'm a bit doubtful that this guy deliberately didn't give Pandan any meat. If everyone else hadn't had the same expression, she would probably have scolded Kang Qirui.
"Chicken is edible." Lao Dou said with a smile.
"Chicken is not good either, there is bird flu." This guy Tianxiu likes to join in the fun, "Don't talk nonsense." The second sister-in-law quickly covered his mouth to prevent him from continuing. "Don't listen to the children's nonsense. Bird flu was a thing in Hong Kong City a few years ago. We don't have it here." The second brother explained helpfully. "Mom, just eat. I know what to eat." Xianglan also told her mother not to worry about her. She knew what she could and couldn't eat. After dinner, my mother originally wanted to clean up a guest room for Pandan's mother, but Panlan's mother was unwilling and insisted on sleeping with Pandan, so Daguang had no choice but to go to the guest room to sleep by himself.
As soon as Xianglan's mother entered Xianglan's room, she pulled Xianglan and asked, "Does their fifth kid not like you? Why can't you eat this and that? I heard that people in Guangfu If you favor the youngest in the family, do they bully you together? "As a parent, no matter how old your children are, they are still children, and you are always worried about whether they are doing well.
“Oh, mom, what are you talking about? Uncle Wu is very kind to us, don’t talk nonsense. Uncle Wu arranged our work and that of A Guang, and his wife is also pregnant. Didn't you see the dishes he mentioned? He was sharing his experience, not talking nonsense." Xianglan was startled by her mother's words and quickly explained.
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved. The family you're looking for is good, but it's a big family and there are many rules. I'm worried about your stomach now." Xiang Lan’s mother said she was relieved, but she became worried again as she said it, “What if I can’t give birth to a boy?”
“My father-in-law told me that there are enough boys in the family. Just let me have a daughter. My fifth uncle and his family are pregnant with a girl now. They were very happy when they first found out." Xianglan's mother felt relieved.
Early the next morning, Xianglan's mother got up to do housework, which frightened Xiu Gu. Xiu Gu was the new nanny hired by the Kang family. The previous nanny had stopped taking care of her daughter because she was pregnant. Xiugu thought she was trying to get rid of her, so she had an argument with Xianglan's mother early in the morning. Kang Qirui also found it amazing after hearing this. Xiugu wouldn't let Xianglan's mother do housework. What are people arguing about? Isn’t it good not to have to work?
At noon, the second brother called Kang Qirui and said that he had something to discuss. Kang Qirui hurriedly came back from school. As soon as he entered the second brother’s room, the second sister-in-law Then he closed the door, "What's going on?" Kang Qirui asked.
“Didn’t your second sister-in-law always want to vomit before? We thought it was due to stomach bloating, but it turned out that your second sister-in-law hadn’t been here for a long time. We went to the hospital for a checkup today, and it turned out that your second sister-in-law was infected. Yes." The second man said the matter with a sad face. Kang Qirui recalled it carefully, and it seemed that this was the case.
"Emmm, what does this have to do with me? Even if you want to look for her, shouldn't you look for Mrs. Dou?" Kang Qirui asked strangely, why can't he find himself? "It's like this. We both think that you are the most capable in the family. Do you think we should keep this child?" the second brother explained.
"This matter has nothing to do with my ability. In the end, it depends on what you and your wife think. At most, ask Tianxiu what he thinks. After all, this is his younger brother and sister. As for the consequences Well, you are individuals anyway, so it doesn’t matter. A fine of several thousand yuan is nothing to you,” Kang Qirui analyzed for them.
In my memory, the reason why the second sister-in-law was pregnant was not retained. On the one hand, it was of course due to the policy, but more importantly, they were still under great pressure at that time. The hardware store had just disappeared, and all the money was used to open a tea restaurant. Business was average at that time, and I remember it seemed like the employees couldn't be paid, so they canceled it without hesitation.
Now that we have the conditions, I wonder what the second brother and second sister-in-law think? Kang Qirui is not going to intervene. Kang Qirui can give advice or intervene in other matters. In the end, it depends on what the parents think.
