Rebirth and Raising a Baby

In a blink of an eye, it is the fourth month of the lunar calendar.

Lin Ling's belly was getting bigger day by day, and the symptoms of pregnancy also appeared.

Tastes have suddenly changed.

She used to like light food, but suddenly she likes spicy food very much.

I also made myself spicy strips. If I don’t eat a few packs every day, I feel weak all over.

"It seems that you are pregnant with a little pepper!"

Chu Yi laughed and joked.

Lin Ling hit him casually.

What kind of words are you talking about? If you can't speak, you can sew your mouth shut!
"People say it's a sour girl, it seems that this is definitely a girl!"

Lin Chunhua was on the side, smiling until her eyes were narrowed into slits.

You can imagine how happy she was.

At this time, Lin Ling sighed.

Chu Yi's heart tightened, "What's wrong?"

"Actually, it's a good thing for a girl to have a bigger temper. She won't be bullied by others in the future. Don't be angry!"

He thought it was his words that offended Lin Ling.

Lin Ling glanced at him and shook her head slightly.

"I'm not here for this."

"But now that our belly is growing day by day, we have to consider leaving!"

During the recent period, many people said that she had grown flesh, and even joked that she was rich flesh.

Lin Ling could only explain with a wry smile, saying that her mother-in-law was kind to her, seeing how hard she worked, and cooking a lot of delicious food for her every day, that's why she gained weight.

Combined with Lin Chunhua's kindness to her, no one doubted much.

But there are still a few neighbors who told her in private that she should pay attention to maintaining her figure, so that the man will not have an affair.
Regarding this, Lin Ling could only perfunctory.

I am also a little worried in private.

Now that even the taste has changed, it is even more impossible to procrastinate.

Mrs. Long would come home every Monday to Friday to cook with Lin Chunhua and pick up and drop off the children.

The two old ladies cooperated very well, and Lin Ling couldn't say that they should be dismantled.

Besides, sooner or later you have to leave.

Even if she couldn't bear it.

"Chu Yi, have you finished your project?"

Lin Ling suddenly remembered this.

Chu Yi nodded, "I was busy two days ago. Otherwise, how could I chat with you at home!"

At this time, he hadn't thought of that question.

"Okay then, we can start preparing to go to the port city now!"

Lin Ling has decided, without further ado, act now!
"what?"

Chu Yi was stunned.

The whole person was dumbfounded.

"This, is it so fast?"

He glanced at Lin Ling's stomach, it was a little more obvious than before, but it was not so much in loose clothes.
"All right!"

Chu Yi hesitated again and again, but for the safety of his wife and children, he agreed.

This may be the last child of him and his wife, and she must be well protected!

"Is this going to go?"

Lin Chunhua didn't react.

After talking, we talked about going to Hong Kong City.

"Mom, look at my stomach. It's okay to cheat on big girls and young wives. People don't understand these things, but if it's an old aunt, maybe people can tell it at a glance. If there is any bad idea, report it , the child cannot be kept!"

It's been more than three months of pregnancy, and the changes in the stomach are still quite obvious.

There is an extra layer of soft meat.

There is a small bulge, like a small watermelon.

Lin Ling used to have a slender waist, but now she hardly wears clothes that highlight her waist, because she can't hide it.

The limbs and face have also become rounder.

For the safety of myself and my children, high heels have also been abandoned, and I wear flat shoes and white shoes most of the time.

Occasionally, there will be subconscious pregnancy reactions, such as reaching out to support the waist, and subconsciously wanting to cover the stomach when walking fast.
If someone who has given birth sees it, it is easy to guess the answer.

"That, that's fine!"

Although Lin Chunhua was reluctant, she also understood the truth.

"Just a few days?"

"I'll prepare something for you!"

"Gangcheng is so different from our place. There may not be any food to eat. I will prepare some salt pork and sauce for you. If you finish eating later, you can call Chu Yi and I will take the children to see you. Bring it to you."

The old lady babbled, her tone full of concern.

Lin Ling was very moved and nodded his thanks.

"Mom, thank you for your hard work!"

She knew that if Lin Chunhua was not allowed to do this, the old lady would definitely be sad.

She is not the only one who is reluctant to leave now.

There is something to do, at least the old lady can divert her attention.

"Mom, if someone asks, how do you explain it?"

Chu Yi was worried.

"What's the matter, I just said that you went to see a distant cousin, I asked you to bring this!"

Lin Chunhua casually gave a reason.

Chu Yi greatly appreciated it.

"That's a good reason!"

"Anyway, we moved here this year, who knows if we have a distant cousin in Hong Kong City!"

Hey hey hey.

It's only natural to go to see a distant cousin and give some local gifts!
No one can find reason.

Then, Lin Chunhua got busy.

I bought dozens of catties of pork that day.

There are ribs, pork belly, and minced pork.

Sliced ​​into strips for easy access.

Marinate with salt for a while, then blanch and pack into bags.

Put it in the refrigerator and freeze it, it can be stored for a long time.

I also bought a dozen catties of sea prawns.

Made Lin Ling's favorite shrimp dates.

It made Chu Yi jealous.

"Mom, you used to make this shrimp date once a year!"

The family can only eat it during the Chinese New Year.

"You boy, are you still jealous of your wife?"

Lin Chunhua laughed and said, and her subordinates continued to fry the shrimp dates in the oil pan.

The shrimp jujube should be wrapped with a large piece of bean curd skin.

The stuffing inside contains water chestnut, white meat, pork, carrot, shiitake mushroom. Various seasonings are added together to form a very special taste.

Drizzle with a little orange oil and it tastes amazing!

Chu Yi grew up, and when he was outside, this was what he missed the most.

It belongs to the taste of mother.

"Although this is delicious, you have to control the amount. If you eat too much, you will get angry!"

The old lady was so busy that she did not forget to tell Lin Ling.

"Well, mother, don't worry!"

Naturally, Lin Ling would not disobey.

As for when to actually eat it, it's hard to say.

The smell of fried shrimp and jujube filled the kitchen, and the taste was so tempting.

Lin Ling sniffed, her face was full of squirming.

Lin Chunhua saw it and smiled.

From the fried shrimp dates on the left, pick some good-looking ones and put them on the plate.

"Eat it!"

"Really?"

Lin Ling was excited.

"There's plenty, eat whatever you want!"

The old lady who just said to control the amount immediately forgot what she said.

Lin Ling carried the plate happily and left.

Chu Yi also wanted to follow, but Lin Chunhua grabbed him by the back collar.

"What's the matter, mother?"

Chu Yi was puzzled.

After the shrimp dates are cold, they are not so delicious.

"I'm for Lin Ling, you're a big man, why are you so greedy!"

Lin Chunhua spoke with confidence.

With a bit of condemnation and contempt.

Chu Yi was injured.

"No, mother, you do so much, and I can't eat much!"

Is this too much? !

Could it be that only Lin Ling is human and he is not human?
Why can't he eat shrimp dates!

"You can pull it down, who is the person who ate most of the pot of noodles two days ago?"

Lin Chunhua looked disdainful.

He can eat pigs without him!
"What, I was too tired when I came back from the construction site. I was so hungry that day, so I ate a little more."

Chu Yi felt that he was simply too wronged.

Who is he working so hard for, not for this family!
He just wants to eat some shrimp dates!

What's wrong!
"Then you don't have to go to the construction site today, what else do you want to eat?"

Lin Chunhua's rebuttal was well-founded.

Chu Yi suddenly became dumb.

"But, you make so many shrimp dates, I eat a few, it doesn't affect anything."

Chu Yi weakly protested.

Trying to make his mother reason.

It's a little too much to give Lin Ling so many, not to give him any!

"Just eat a few?"

"How many are there?"

Lin Chunhua raised her eyebrows.

Chu Yi thought about it seriously, four seemed a little less, and five were a little less.

"Eight?"

he said expectantly.

Lin Chunhua frowned, her eyes full of disgust.

"Then, six?"

Chu Yi bargained.

In short, he just wants to eat!

"Fine!"

Lin Chunhua shook her head helplessly, turned around and picked out a few shrimp dates from the pot, put them in a bowl and handed them to him.

Chu Yi looked down.

silent.

What the mother chose for her daughter-in-law were all good-looking shrimp dates, golden in color, and each one was round and neat.

The ones chosen for him are all those with crooked looks on the fringes.

Take a closer look.

Another one was almost all skin, the stuffing ran away from home halfway
"Mother, this is a bit too much, right? There's only a layer of skin left!"

Chu Yi was very dissatisfied.

Lin Chunhua glared at him.

"I love it or not!"

Chu Yi took a deep breath, his mouth pouted.

Lin Chunhua thought he could say something, and was hesitating in her heart, should I find the stuffing for him again?
Chu Yi moved.

Holding the bowl with humiliation on his face, he turned and walked out.

Lin Chunhua was a little surprised, but Chu Yi let it go, she just continued to fry shrimp dates.

Busy now!
Raising a son is no easy task.

Chu Yi took the bowl to the living room, and found his daughter-in-law sitting at the tea table watching TV.

I took a look at the plate, it was very good, there were still shrimp dates left.

"Daughter-in-law, mother is too much!"

Taking advantage of being covered by the sound of the TV, Chu Yi muttered softly.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Ling turned her head to look at him, and glanced at him, feeling a little puzzled.

"Isn't it for you?"

It's half a bowl, and it looks like a lot!

"You, you don't know!"

Chu Yi subconsciously wanted to shout out, but just after saying a word, he immediately lowered his volume.

"Mother is too much, she picks you good-looking ones, but picks me crooked ones."

"Is it because you think too much?"

Lin Ling shrank her neck back.

Is this man too narrow-minded?
"no!"

Chu Yi couldn't help shouting out.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Chunhua poked her head out of the kitchen and stared at the two of them.

Chu Yi hurriedly fooled around.

Wait for Lin Chunhua to return to the kitchen.

Only then did he pick up the evidence in the bowl.

He put the bowl and plate together and asked Lin Ling to compare them.

Lin Ling was also silent now.

Compared to selling, it is a bit worse.
And it's not just one or two, each of the shrimp dates in Chuyi's bowl is very "special"!
"It's okay to be ugly."

"Look, this one is just a layer of skin, and she gave it to me!"

Use a layer of fried bean curd skin as shrimp dates!
It's simply a black-hearted businessman!
Outrageous!

"Okay, then I'll give you one!"

Lin Ling shook her head.

Sometimes the old lady just enjoys the pleasure of bullying her son.

As the favored one, she couldn't say anything.

"no!"

Chu Yi flatly refused.

"what?"

Lin Ling was surprised, she didn't want it?

"At least two will do!"

Chu Yi set out his conditions.

After speaking, he looked at Lin Ling expectantly.

Lin Ling was silent for a moment.

Finally nodded.

Seeing Chu Yi happily eating shrimp and jujube, looking like he had made a fortune, Lin Ling suddenly felt that he could understand why Lin Chunhua bullied Chu Yi.

She feels itchy now
I especially want to bully Chu Yi!
I don't know why.

really weird.

Lin Chunhua picked about a dozen shrimp dates for her, and Lin Ling was satisfied after eating seven or eight.

The inside is full of real meat, and it is deep-fried, so it is quite filling.

"Daughter-in-law, don't you want to eat?"

There were two left in Chu Yi's bowl, and seeing Lin Ling getting up to leave, his eyes lit up immediately.

Like a searchlight at night.

"Ah."

Lin Ling nodded casually.

Finished talking and left.

Chu Yi looked excited!
So what if his mother doesn't let him eat more, he has a wife who hurts him!

The daughter-in-law must have been specially reserved for him.

Oh, how is he so beautiful!
"Where's Lin Ling?"

Lin Chunhua who heard the movement came out of the kitchen.

"Go to the room."

Chu Yi replied blankly, a little nervous.

Lin Chunhua turned her eyes, saw the plate on the coffee table, walked over to pick it up.

"Hey!"

Chu Yi became anxious, and quickly reached out to stop him.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Chunhua squinted at him.

"Mother, I took all these out, and some of them touched orange oil, so it's not good to put them back."

"I'll help her finish eating."

Chu Yi smiled flatteringly.

The reasons given are also valid.

"You're right!"

Lin Chunhua nodded.

Chu Yi chuckled, that's right, stay here and let him eat!do not mention it!
"I'll eat it now!"

Lin Chunhua muttered, "It's just a taste of saltiness, I forgot to ask Lin Ling just now!"

Chu Yi's pupils were shocked.

"Mother, you, you can ask me!"

"It's not that I'm dumb, why should I ask you?"

After Lin Chunhua finished speaking as a matter of course, she turned her head and left.

Took away the plate of shrimp dates.

It also took away Chu Yi's joy.

He sat where he was, and didn't recover for a while.

Looking at the two remaining shrimp dates in the bowl, he was in a daze.

Well, it was a beautiful shrimp jujube that he got from his wife in a miserable sale, and he specially saved it for the last.

It seems that nothing is lost.

Compared with the original, I got two more shrimp dates.

It stands to reason that you should be happy.

But he was just lost.

Empty joy.

That's about how life is.

Give you hope, and take your hope away.

You are just powerless to accept the teasing that life throws at you.

It's as if nothing is lost.

But it has been experienced.
