Chapter 215 Bragi
"You should go out and get some exercise." Xiao Fen looked at Xu Sui's dress with envy in her eyes, thinking to herself, "Should I buy one for myself?"
If you grit your teeth, you can actually come up with ten or twenty yuan to buy a cheaper dress. The weather is getting warmer lately, so it's perfect to wear these cooler clothes.
Come to think of it, she's lived for over thirty years and has never worn a dress; she just watches others wear them and envies their good fortune.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fen twirled around in front of Xu Sui and asked somewhat nervously, "Sui Sui, do you think I look good in a dress?"
"What do you think about me going to the supply and marketing cooperative and buying a new outfit?"
Qin Min gave all his monthly money to the old lady, after deducting the portion he gave her and some living expenses. After deducting the money he gave Qin Min for medicine each month, there was still some left, which should be just enough to buy a dress.
Xu Sui smiled at Xiao Fen and said, "If you like it, of course you can."
Everyone has the right to wear the clothes they like. There's no such thing as unsuitable or unsuitable; it all comes down to whether you like them or not.
Xiao Fen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She touched her waist. She had been starving for years during the famine, so why was her waist still so thick? Xu Sui had just given birth, and her waist was almost twice the size of Xu Sui's.
Will the Bragi I finally managed to buy end up breaking?
"Sui Sui, do you think my figure is big enough to fit into it?"
Xu Sui: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about that. There will definitely be a suitable size available. The situation you described won't happen."
"And there's nothing wrong with your figure, I think it's great."
That's the truth. After several years of famine, how many people in an ordinary family could be fat?
Even if she's fat, it's edema caused by starvation. Edema is rare in the city. Although the Qin family isn't doing very well, they wouldn't let anyone starve to the point of edema.
Xiao Fen has the build of an average person, at most a slightly larger frame, which has nothing to do with whether she is fat or not.
"Really? Then I'll go check out the supply and marketing cooperative." Xiao Fen's face lit up with a smile, her eyes and brows beaming as she prepared to head outside.
The next second I stepped outside, I smelled rotten eggs from next door.
She immediately felt a churning in her stomach and a wave of nausea. She couldn't hold back any longer and started dry heaving, patting her chest. She threw up all the soup she had drunk that morning.
Upon hearing that something was wrong, Xu Sui rushed over, not forgetting to pour Xiao Fen a glass of water to rinse her mouth. "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you alright?"
Why would someone who was perfectly healthy suddenly vomit? Could they be pregnant?
She didn't dare to say that carelessly, after all, Xiao Fen and her husband were almost going crazy with anticipation for a child, and what if it wasn't true? Wouldn't that just be a disappointment?
For the past few months, Qin Min has been taking medicine every day. Even when he goes to work at the factory, he has to bring a cup of the decocted medicine to drink. Over time, you can smell the medicine on him from a distance. Not only his family has gotten used to it, but even his neighbors have gotten used to the smell.
At first, everyone was cursing and swearing, but as time went on, they began to sympathize with the people of Qin.
Qin Min had come to terms with it and didn't care about what others thought. He took medicine during the day and pestered his wife to give birth at night, sometimes for most of the night.
Xiao Fen squatted on the ground and dry heaved for a while, her face turning pale. "No, it's nothing, I just feel a little nauseous."
She took the cup from Xu Sui and rinsed her mouth, finally feeling a little better.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you go to the clinic near our house? It's not far, and I happen to be free. I'll go with you." Xu Sui didn't want to say anything she wasn't sure about, so she decided to go to the hospital to get checked out.
Xiao Fen seemed to have thought of something too. She subconsciously touched her stomach, opened her mouth excitedly but ultimately didn't say anything.
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Xu Sui nodded, turned and instructed Du Mei, who was changing the two children's clothes inside, before taking Xiao Fen to the nearby clinic.
On the road.
Xiao Fen touched her stomach every now and then. "Sui Sui, when you were pregnant, did you also vomit like I am today?"
"It does look somewhat like it, sister-in-law. We've arrived at the clinic. Let's go in and have the doctor take a look." Xu Sui glanced at Xiao Fen's stomach.
Soon, the two went inside, the doctor examined them, and the results came out.
Xiao Fen was indeed pregnant. She was overjoyed and almost jumped up, but fortunately Xu Sui and the doctor quickly held her down.
"Sister-in-law, be careful! You're pregnant, you can't jump around like that." Xu Sui's heart was almost scared out of her wits by Xiao Fen.
"Yes, yes, I can't jump like that anymore. I'm pregnant now, so I can't do these dangerous things." Suddenly being held down like this, Xiao Fen gradually calmed down.
After returning home.
Before her belly was even showing, Xiao Fen started walking with her hand on her waist. She, who usually walked briskly, now walked as slowly as an ant, and she couldn't suppress the smile in her eyes and brows.
"Sui Sui, it's all thanks to your grandma's help. Grandma's medical skills are so good, and she's so capable, how come not many people know about her? If she hadn't cured Jinbao before, I would have been married into the compound for so long and still not know that your grandma has such abilities."
"When your older brother comes back tonight, I'll talk to him about taking some things to visit your grandma tomorrow."
The county hospital said it was difficult to treat and there was almost no hope.
Who would have thought that Qin Min would see results after only a few months of taking the medicine? This doctor is no ordinary doctor, he's practically a reincarnation of a divine physician!
Xu Sui glanced around and whispered, "Sister-in-law, my grandma likes peace and quiet and doesn't like to be in the spotlight. If you want to visit her, just do it in private. Don't make a scene and let the whole compound know."
"If anyone asks, don't say that my grandmother helped with the treatment."
These past few years have been alright, but a major upheaval is coming in a few years, so it's best to keep a low profile. Keeping a low profile is always the right thing to do.
Xiao Fen didn't ask why; she just smiled and readily agreed, "Okay."
……
After safely delivering the person home, Xu Sui and Du Mei took the two children out.
Each of them was holding one child in their arms. The two children are growing up to be fair-skinned and adorable, like little white and tender dumplings. When they were first born, they did nothing but eat and sleep, but now that a few months have passed, they are much better and will occasionally stare at people.
The clothes they wore were either made by their maternal grandmother, Wang Yinhua, or their paternal grandmother, Tian Hua. Both of them worked in a textile factory and had no shortage of defective fabric. Every time they managed to get some defective fabric, they would make clothes and send them to the children.
They've already made clothes for children who are two or three years old.
Xu Sui told them to make less, since the child was still young and already had a lot of clothes, there was no way they could wear them all. The two agreed verbally, but in reality, they made more clothes for the child and sent them over next time.
