Happiness System

"Mom and Dad, I'm back!"

The things in Jing Zhan's hand were snatched away by his second sister-in-law, but he didn't care at all. He walked up to his parents and presented them with New Year's red envelopes very sensibly.

Teacher Li accepted it with a smile.

"It's not easy for your wife to get pregnant. You should take care of the family more and stop running around all day!" Jing's father scolded her with a stern face before accepting the red envelope.

In a blink of an eye, Teacher Li accepted the red envelope with a smile, "Don't meddle in the affairs of the young couple!"

Dad Jing muttered something like "A loving mother often spoils her son", then stood up and put his hands behind his back to check the things his youngest son brought back.

Sheng Yunlan introduced his brothers to everyone, and then asked Mrs. Gui to bring out a fruit plate with some melon seeds, candies and fruits for everyone to fill their stomachs.

"It's almost time for dinner. What snacks should I eat? I have to save them for my relatives and friends!" Although Teacher Li doesn't like doing housework, he is essentially a very good homemaker.

Sheng Yunlan smiled and replied, "Mom, the purpose of New Year's Day is to have a good time eating. It's okay. We bought some more today. The children will definitely not delay your entertaining guests if they eat some."

Teacher Li stretched his head to look at the bag over there and said nothing.

Today, my eldest sister went back to her husband’s house with her husband to celebrate the New Year. There are only five children in the family. The youngest are twins from my eldest brother’s family. After the New Year, they will be six years old and will be going to preschool.

My second brother’s twins are only seven years old and will be eight after the New Year.

The children were all at an age when they were hated by dogs and people. They would annoy this one and tease that one. The adults would only scold them in a loud but gentle voice, but they actually dared to provoke the eldest sister Jing Lili.

Jing Lili was only ten years old, and she was really cruel. She beat her brother so hard that he started crying loudly.

The eldest brother Jing Shen took a look and scolded: "You deserve it! I told you to be naughty!"

Dad Jing and Teacher Li started to scold a few more times because of the noise. Finally, Jing Zhan couldn't sit still anymore and took his nephews out to buy firecrackers to play with.

Over there, the father and son continued to talk about work.

Teacher Li and Sheng Yunlan didn't have much to say. They asked a few questions whether the children's things had been prepared, and then they had nothing to talk about. They just turned on the TV and watched it in silence.

After about half an hour, the eldest and second sister-in-law brought out a large bowl of noodles, which were cooked with a mixture of chicken and duck offal. It smelled quite fragrant.

Sheng Yunlan's stomach was already starting to get uncomfortable with the baby in her belly, and she couldn't eat any more after just one bowl of food.

The Sheng family was very experienced in dealing with twin pregnancies, so when they saw her put down the bowl, they asked her to go to the sofa and rest for a while.

After that, the children also finished their meals and wanted to go downstairs to play. The second brother Jinglin didn't want to go downstairs to be blown by the cold wind, so he refused them mercilessly.

The children didn't make any noise, they just ran around the house playing the game of beating the Japanese.

Sheng Yunlan was annoyed by the noise, perhaps because she was too excited to hear her brothers' voices. The two babies in her belly kept kicking her, and she could not bear it anymore. She quickly asked the Sheng brothers to bring a few boys to play downstairs.

After eating, the men sat on the other side and started smoking again. Sheng Yunlan quickly took a book and hid in the guest room.

When she got tired of watching, she lay down on the bed. For the whole afternoon, she could hear the clashing of pots and pans, the noise of children playing...all these sounds plus the cold quilt made this nap more tiring than walking several kilometers.

When Jing Zhan entered the bedroom and saw his wife curled up with a frown on her face, his heart ached and he felt a little distressed.

Knowing that she was afraid of the cold, why was she in such a hurry to come here? Anyway, the New Year’s Eve dinner in Jiang City was in the evening. He could just deliver the things first, and then go back to pick her up after she woke up from her nap.

Anyway, I have a car at home, and a round trip takes less than an hour!

He hesitated for a moment before reaching out and patting Sheng Yunlan, "Xiao Lan, it's time to get up."

Sheng Yunlan opened her eyes, her mind was blank for a moment, and after a while she asked in a hoarse voice: "What time is it?"

"It's already four o'clock. We should have the New Year's Eve dinner soon. Get up. We'll go back early later!"

"Ok!"

Sheng Yunlan used the strength of his hand to sit up, and the moment she lifted the quilt, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She wasn't in the mood to eat afterwards.

The meal lasted an hour, and then they sat for a while. When it got dark at six o'clock, Jing Zhan gave out the red envelopes to his nephews and nieces and hurried home with his wife.

"I remember there's a clinic nearby. Let's go see if it's still open and buy some medicine for backup, shall we?"

Sheng Yunlan went straight to the back seat and leaned softly against her brother. She had just drunk hot soup and eaten hot food, but her body didn't seem to be getting warmer. She must be sick.

How could it be such a coincidence? I would be sick at any time, but I fell ill just during the Chinese New Year!

Jing Zhan pursed his lips and turned the steering wheel towards the clinic. Unfortunately, the two clinics he went to were both closed. He had no choice but to drive to the hospital and go for emergency treatment. He explained the situation to the doctor and only then was he able to buy the medicine.

However, Sheng Yunlan currently has no other symptoms except for feeling cold, and the doctor does not recommend taking any medication.

There was no bathtub at home, so Jing Zhan could only use the shower head to spray hot water on her for more than ten minutes, and then came out to soak her feet.

After half an hour of struggling, Sheng Yunlan's body began to warm up.

Then she was tucked in under the covers.

“??? I also want to watch the Spring Festival Gala later?!”

Jing Zhan: "No! You don't want to! Just go to sleep!"

After being fed half a cup of hot water, Sheng Yunlan lay down weakly. She now had no human rights at all!

No one expected a situation like this. They had originally prepared some programs and planned to watch the Spring Festival Gala and have fun later in the day, but now everyone can only wash up and go to bed early.

At night, neither Mrs. Gui nor the Sheng brothers dared to close their doors, for fear that they would not be able to hear any emergencies that might arise.

Fortunately, when Sheng Yunlan got up the next day, apart from a slight fever and runny nose, everything else was fine.

It is best not to take medicine in this situation. Sheng Yunlan can only drink cup after cup of hot water and go to the toilet again and again.

Jing Zhan went out for a while and brought back a coal stove, which he gave to her to use as a stove for heating.

Because of this little incident, the whole family stayed at home with her watching TV during this Spring Festival, and even no relatives or friends went to visit.

On the fourth day of the New Year, Sheng Yunlan had recovered.

Jing Zhan was going on a long trip in the afternoon, but he was still worried about his wife, so he chose to drive out alone to visit relatives.

At noon, he hurried back to have lunch with the Sheng siblings, and stuffed two hundred yuan each into Sheng Yunchao and Sheng Yunqiang, saying, "Don't go over to the shop. Xiaolan is pregnant and inconvenient, so she will inevitably be a little spoiled and have a bad temper. You stay at home and take good care of her..."

The two brothers looked at each other in bewilderment as their brother-in-law disappeared. They felt that he was the one who was more abnormal in the past two days!

However, the two brothers did not mention going to the shop to help out, but instead picked up the book and started reading.

Sheng Yunlan dug out the wool that was thrown in the corner and covered with dust. She gave up after knitting for less than half an hour. "Sister Gui, these are for you. Alas, I feel like I have no chance of being a good wife and mother. I don't have any patience at all!"

Mrs. Gui took it and looked at it, exclaiming, "Wow, these are all top-quality yarns, mixed with wool, they are very expensive! What style does Mrs. Jing want to knit? Let me knit it for you."

Sheng Yunlan waved her hand, "Forget it, we bought ready-made sweaters before the New Year, you can knit them for yourself and your son!"

The Lantern Festival came again. Jing Zhan did not rush back home, and Sheng Yunlan did not go to her in-laws' house. Instead, she and her siblings had a quiet meal at home.

The next morning, Mrs. Gui took half a day off to send her children to school. In the afternoon, brothers Sheng Yunchao and Sheng Yunqiang returned to school.

The New Year has passed and the temperature has gradually started to warm up.

In March, as the due date approached, Sheng Yunlan began to check the things to prepare for the child.

Mrs. Gui stared at Sheng Yunlan's belly and didn't dare to leave for a moment. These days, apart from going out to buy groceries, they would go downstairs for a ten-minute walk in the evening.

Sheng Yunlan stared at the calendar and felt that it was almost time to give birth. Her stomach had started to ache during this period, and she was debating whether to go to the hospital early to wait for the birth.

"Mrs. Jing, should we call Mr. Jing?" Mrs. Gui has been a little worried these past two days. She is worried that she cannot take care of a new mother and two children.

The main reason is that things are too chaotic these days, and she is worried that someone in the hospital will steal the baby!

Sheng Yunlan sighed, "I'll call him later, you check your things, and we'll go to the hospital tomorrow!" The late pregnancy is really hard!

There is no caesarean section at this time unless it is a difficult birth. Otherwise, if you ask for an early caesarean section, you will become a lunatic known to everyone in Jiang City in a few days!

"Hey! I'll go right away! Should we call Teacher Li and the others?" After being a mother-in-law, it's fine if she doesn't take care of her pregnant daughter-in-law, but she should at least be there to help out during the birthing, right?

Sheng Yunlan frowned and sighed, "I'll give her a call later to let her know, but I can't count on her!

After you finish your hospitalization tomorrow, ask the doctors and nurses if they have any recommendations for reliable caregivers, otherwise you will definitely be too busy to handle it all by yourself.

You will be responsible for taking care of the child at that time, and the rest of the time will be left to the caregiver!"

Fortunately, most of the nursing staff nowadays are affiliated with hospitals, and there are very few private organizations, otherwise she would really be worried.

After sitting for a while, she picked up the phone and dialed the number. Jing Zhan probably had his mobile phone in his hand the whole time, and he answered the call as soon as the line was connected.

"Xiao Lan? Are you going to give birth?" Jing Zhan sounded a little panicked.

Sheng Yunlan shook her head, then realized that she couldn't see him on the phone, and then she spoke: "No, I think it should be in the next two days, can you come back? I plan to go to the hospital tomorrow morning to give birth, otherwise I'm afraid that if there is an emergency, Sister Gui won't be able to handle it!"

Jing Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll try to finish everything today and go back tomorrow. Call me back after you're done with the hospitalization, or I'll call mom and ask her to come over to accompany you?"

"I thought I'd find a nurse after I'm hospitalized. You can call my mom and tell her so she can know when the baby is born without informing grandma!"
