Chapter 1555: Not Giving Birth Anymore
Mrs. Lu smiled. “How is it not light? I’ve already removed all the oil. Well, this is not Shu City. The climate there is different from here. It’s good for you to eat more. However, the condition here might not be suited to your body yet. If you don’t take care of yourself, it’ll be bad for your body if you continue to ignore good eating habits. You’re a doctor; you should understand more about this.”
Cheng Jinnian carefully moved the bowl to the side when he saw Jiang Yao’s bitter expression. He seemed to be afraid that Jiang Yao would s.n.a.t.c.h his food, so he said, “Auntie, Sister must know the reason, but she can’t do it anyway. So, Auntie, you must control her.”
The corner of Jiang Yao’s mouth twitched indiscernibly. Did that little devil still pretend that she did not see how he protected his food?
Was that what a person who came to beg for her forgiveness should do?
He should have given the prawns and pork to her.
He did not know how to win people’s favor. He only knew how to be an eyesore in the Lu household!
Humph!
Jiang Yao looked up and asked, “You’ve lived here for so many days. When are you going to leave? Aren’t you going to leave? Are you going to stay until the New Year to get some cash gifts before leaving?”
Cheng Jinnian lowered his head and ate the food in his bowl. He did not say anything. In any case, he was not going to leave.
Previously, he had been looking for Jiang Yao, his sister, to get closer to her. Then, he enjoyed the excellent food and drinks there.
“You know, it’s only been a few days, and you can’t stand it?” Mrs. Lu was amused by the two siblings. Then, she looked at Jiang Yao, who had improved a lot in the past two days, and asked with a smile, “Then, what will you do after giving birth and going through confinement? According to our custom, people who go through confinement don’t put artificial seasoning in their food. It’s best not to put salt in it, and you’re not even allowed to touch soy sauce. What will you do then?”
Before Jiang Yao could say anything, Mrs. Lu continued to say, “According to the custom, when you give birth to your first child, you have to go through double confinement. It’s 40 days for the usual confinement and 80 days for double confinement. That’s more than two months. If you can’t take it now, what will you do then? For now, at least you can still walk around. You can go wherever you want to go. When that time comes, you’ll have to stay in your room. What will you do then?”
Jiang Yao felt that life was so scary just thinking about it. She was silent for a long time before she replied gloomily, “I’m not giving birth anymore.”
“You’re backing out now? Who said that you wanted to give birth to more children? Who was the one who said that? I’m still waiting for a group of grandchildren.” Mrs. Lu did not hold back when she teased Jiang Yao. She did not have the usual reaction of a mother-in-law who would get angry when she heard her daughter-in-law say that she did not want to have children. Instead, she felt that Jiang Yao’s reaction was adorable.
She was not worried that Jiang Yao did not want to have children anymore. She knew how to read people. Jiang Yao loved children.
“Is my sister’s child going to call me uncle?”
Cheng Jinnian suddenly asked. “Then I’ll be the elder.”
“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Mrs. Lu nodded and smiled. “But after your sister graduates from college, we’ll wait for another three years.”
“I’ll be eight years old in three years, and I’ll be an uncle at eight.” Cheng Jinnian looked pleasantly surprised. “Then I’ll definitely be the youngest uncle in the world!”
“Daydreaming?”
Jiang Yao burst Cheng Jinnian’s bubbles. One of her child’s uncles worked in the town, and the other was in Jindo City!
