Chapter 193 Pregnancy

"I didn't know you were pregnant, so I only brought a wedding gift for you. I didn't prepare a gift for the baby. When he is born, I will come and see you to bring it."

Li Manping jumped off the kang, stepped on her shoes, picked up the baggage, opened it, and showed Zhou Qiao the contents one by one.

When she went out, Li Manping added some small items bought in the capital, so there were many and miscellaneous things, including everything.

Zhou Qiao looked at the pile of things piled on the kang table and couldn't help but clench his fists and tighten the hem of his cotton-padded coat. He looked up at Li Manping's sincere smile and finally raised the corners of his mouth.

"Thank you, Manping, I like it very much. It's just that you spend too much money. These things must have cost you a lot of energy and money."

"As I said, it's fine if you like the things. I'm busy studying and I don't have time to go out for more shopping. These are all prepared when I come back. If you like anything, tell me and I will bring it to you."

Li Manping has a rich net worth, and these things are nothing to her, just a matter of ten or twenty chickens, simple!

"By the way, I don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl. It seems like it would be better for me to prepare neutral-colored fabrics."

Li Manping held her chin up, she thought girls were better, they were cute, obedient, and so cute that their hearts melted.

It's just that most newly married wives prefer boys. This can make their lives easier. I wonder what Sister Zhou Qiao thinks?

Will it be like most people?

"Sister Zhou Qiao, do you want the baby to be a boy or a girl? You are so beautiful, no matter it is a boy or a girl, you will definitely look good."

"Of course I prefer a girl baby, but my mother-in-law showed it to others and said that the baby I was carrying must be a boy. I thought about it, and it wouldn't be bad if it was a boy."

Zhou Qiao gently touched her belly. Of course she wanted it to be a boy. Both sisters-in-law's first babies were boys. If she gave birth to a girl, wouldn't she lose?

While the two were talking, the middle-aged woman came in twice. Once when Li Manping had just sat down, she came in and gave some dried fruits that the farmers had prepared for the New Year.

The second time was when they were discussing the children. She came in to keep Li Manping and asked her not to leave at noon. She killed the chicken and left Li Manping to eat lunch.

However, Li Manping noticed that her eyes were paying attention from time to time. After opening it and seeing what was inside, her smile deepened.

"No, aunt, I still have a lot of things to do today. I have to do it while the snow stops, otherwise it will be difficult to do it if it snows."

Li Manping declined. She didn't want to stay at an unfamiliar house for dinner, and she had long noticed that this aunt was looking at the things she brought eagerly. She probably wanted to divide the things after she left.

Nowadays, we are all in a big family, and things are distributed by everyone. There are very few personal things. Like the things she gave to Zhou Qiao, at least half of them will be shared by the He family.

"Sister Zhou Qiao, then you should take good care of yourself and come back to the small mountain village to play with us when you are free. Of course, if you need anything, you can tell me and I will bring it back for you."

Li Manping looked at Zhou Qiao who was packing her things against the quilt, and said goodbye to her softly. She also went out of the room and said a few polite words to Aunt He, and then Li Manping turned around and left.

"Manping, come and play again when you have time. I won't send you off if it's inconvenient. Please go slowly."

Zhou Qiao stood at the entrance of the courtyard and looked at Li Manping who was outside the courtyard and waved her hand. The young man He Guanghai was protecting her behind her.

He seems to be a good man who cares about his wife, but I don't know if things will change over time, but it's not easy to be so considerate now. He is a good man, and this marriage is not a loss.

It was easier to walk along the traces made by the bullock carts. Li Manping walked to Daxing Village in silence.

It’s not easy to go out in the snow. Since I’ve already gone out today, I still have to visit Uncle Song.

Several surrounding villages are closely connected, especially the small mountain village located in the middle. Among all the villages, it is the closest to Daxing Village. It is a little farther from Shanglin Village, but the distance is not far.

Walking alone on a deserted road, the surrounding fields were still a vast expanse of white. Li Manping was a little scared. She kept looking back, always feeling that there was a terrifying monster lurking in the dark.

After uncontrollably looking back over and over again, Li Manping began to despise herself. She was too cowardly!

After recalling the lyrics in her mind, she couldn't think of a song that fit the scene. She was afraid of other songs that would be exposed if someone heard them, so she just hummed the national anthem. There was no way this song was wrong!

With the national anthem emboldening her, Li Manping was finally not so afraid. She controlled herself not to look back and walked forward as fast as possible.

Seeing the stone sign at the entrance of Daxing Village from a distance, Li Manping finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was finally there. There was no one along the way, which scared her to death.

Walking into the village, Li Manping admired Daxing Village as it changed year by year. This name is so good and far-sighted.

Li Manping was really pleased to see the dilapidated bandit village turn into a prosperous one now. This was the result of her Uncle Song's efforts.

If Uncle Song hadn't had the foresight and courage to lead his brothers to change their lives, marry wives and have children to increase the population, this place would definitely become more dilapidated or even be bulldozed one day and become part of the land of a certain village.

"Ping Yatou is here. She's here to see your uncle. Well, he shouldn't be at home now, but at his nephew's place."

The person who pointed out Li Manping was an old man in the village. She was a woman who came here at the same time as a large number of bandits committed crimes. She had no son and only raised a granddaughter, who was now sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Hey, I understand. Thank you, aunt. Where are you going?"

Li Manping stood there talking to her aunt, and looked at the direction her aunt was going in puzzlement. There was only a small road in front of her, and there was only one house at the end of the road.

There is the home of Uncle Song's brother Shan Gen.

Uncle Shan Gen is the only man in his thirties who has not yet married a wife. It's not that no one likes him, it's that he doesn't want to marry.

In his words, women are too much of a bother and meddle in other things. It is not worthwhile to spend money on raising a daughter-in-law.

"Oh, I'm going to see my granddaughter. She's pregnant and can't eat. I'll send you some pickles I made."

Aunt

granddaughter?Pregnant!

Li Manping opened her mouth wide. Uncle Shan Gen was in trouble?

I really want to see how someone who said he wanted to be a bachelor for the rest of his life compromised and married a daughter-in-law who is even younger than her husband!

Looking at Uncle Shan Gen's house in front, and then at Uncle Song's nephew Song Xiaojin's house on the side, Li Manping hesitated.

In the end, considering the strangeness, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and went straight to Uncle Yamane's house.

As for Song Xiaojin's house, it would be the same if he went there a few minutes later. Uncle Song couldn't run away anyway.

Since Daxing Village is a place designated by the county for temporary residence of refugees, people have only been living and moving here in recent years. Moreover, the population here is small and the area is narrow, so everyone gathers together and the houses are close to each other.
