Chapter 119 Take him to the People's Hospital for examination
He slept on a Simmons mattress, having long been accustomed to a life of luxury. The thought of sleeping on a bed made of stools pieced together seemed unbearably hard, and he didn't know how he would sleep there.
Wang went and got him two quilts, which he spread on the stool to make do.
Even so, I still didn't sleep well that night and barely slept at all.
Zhang Fangfang slept soundly in her daughter's room. She got up early in the morning, packed her things, and said she wanted to take her daughter to another hospital for a check-up.
She chatted with Fu Leyi while folding the quilt.
"I think your sister-in-law's belly is about the same size as yours; she's also over seven months along?"
"About the same, she's about ten days younger than me."
"If ten days or so doesn't count, then it's about right. Is this her second pregnancy?"
"Yes."
"Didn't they say we couldn't have children anymore? The family planning policy is so strict now, even people in the countryside who want to have a second child are hiding everywhere. Why is she still at home taking care of her pregnancy? Isn't the family planning policy stricter here?"
Fu Leyi said, "The family planning policy is very strict here. Even if you only have one daughter, you are not allowed to have a second child. However, their family's situation is special. They have a quota for having a second child."
Zhang Fangfang was taken aback.
Do you have a quota for having a second child?
In that case, does her daughter also qualify for a second child?
It would be so great to have another child.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Fangfang asked hurriedly.
"Sigh!" Fu Leyi sighed, her expression full of regret. "A few years ago, their eldest daughter had an accident and lost an arm. This just happened to meet their local two-child policy. People with only one child and a non-hereditary disability can have a second child."
"What? Their eldest daughter is disabled?" Zhang Fangfang's mind conjured up the image of the only child in the family.
"That skinny little girl who always hides behind people?"
Fu Leyi nodded. "Yes, it's her."
"She must be seven or eight years old, right?"
"Oh? She's ten years old."
Zhang Fangfang: "..."
"She's ten years old, but she looks like she's seven or eight."
Fu Leyi shook her head and sighed, "Her mother said that this child is a picky eater."
Zhang Fangfang: "..." These days, people can't even get enough to eat, and they're still picky eaters?
"Tsk tsk, what a pity, he looks quite pitiful."
She had already folded the blankets and urged Fu Leyi, "Hurry up, I heard there are very few hospitals here, if you go late you'll have to wait in line."
Fu Leyi said irritably, "I do want to be fast, but with such a big belly, how fast can I possibly go?"
She struggled to reach her toes while putting on her socks, but couldn't reach the other one no matter what she tried.
Zhang Fangfang put down what she was doing and snatched the socks away.
"Sit down, I'll do it."
Fu Leyi chuckled, "Isn't that a bit embarrassing?"
"Tsk, you're still embarrassed? Did I put too few socks on for you? When you were little, I always wiped your bottom after you pooped."
Fu Leyi: "..."
"Mom, can you be a little more civilized?"
"Okay, okay, that's enough. Hurry up. Can you put these shoes on yourself?"
"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and go out, call Ah Yi, I'll be out in a bit."
Give me the car keys.
"It's hanging on the wall, take it yourself. You know where the car is, right?"
Zhang Fangfang took the keys and said, "I know, I saw it last night when Ayi and I came here. It was parked on the roadside."
"Yes."
"I'm leaving now, hurry up!"
It was not yet seven o'clock. The Pan family usually ate at seven-thirty. At this time, Wang and her two daughters were busy cooking in the kitchen.
We have guests at home now, so we can't just casually entertain them.
She asked her youngest daughter, Pan Xiaocao, to buy soy milk from the neighbor and also made some fried dough sticks, which she is currently frying.
In addition, a pot of eggs was boiled to ensure that everyone could have one.
There's a pregnant woman in their family, so they always keep eggs on hand.
Fu Leyi was not short of money. When she returned, she gave Wang Shi two hundred yuan, saying it was for her living expenses during her summer vacation because she was a picky eater and wanted to eat better food.
Two hundred yuan is just the cost of a decent set of clothes for Fu Leyi, but for the Pan family, it's enough for the whole family to eat well and have plenty of meat and fish for a long time.
Pan Hong slept on a restaurant bench last night and didn't get a good night's sleep.
Seeing his mother and younger sister busy in the kitchen, he couldn't sleep anymore and got up to wander around.
Seeing that he was idle, Wang asked him to go to the next village to buy fish.
"Buy a bigger one, there's such a big family here."
"Okay, I got it. I'll buy one that weighs more than five pounds."
Fu Huaiyi also got up and was waiting in the yard for Zhang Fangfang and Fu Leyi to come out.
Zhang Fangfang came out after a short while, handed the keys to Fu Huaiyi, and whispered, "Go get the car first, drive it to the main road, and I'll be there with your sister soon."
Fu Huaiyi nodded in agreement.
Seeing that her daughter hadn't come out yet, Zhang Fangfang went to the kitchen first.
The mother and her two daughters are busy at work.
Zhang Fangfang smiled and said, "Oh, you're busy right now?"
Looking up at her, Madam Wang smiled and asked, "Oh dear, why are you up so early, mother-in-law? You traveled all day yesterday and must be exhausted. Why didn't you rest more?"
"I'm used to waking up early and can't fall back asleep. Mother-in-law, is there anything I can do to help?"
"There's nothing I can help with, I'm almost done here."
"Let me help you start the fire; I haven't done it in years."
Wang quickly pushed her outside, saying, "Oh dear, you should go out now. The kitchen is so dirty, don't get your clothes dirty."
Zhang Fangfang was pushed out by Wang.
She smiled and replied, then asked, "Where's my son-in-law? I haven't seen him this early in the morning."
"I sent him to buy fish."
"Oh, so he went to town to buy fish?"
"No, it's in the next village. There's a big fishpond in the next village where the fish are all kept in nets. You can just catch them if you want to eat them."
"That's great, it's fresh."
Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "Of course. The good thing about living in the countryside is that whatever you want to eat is the freshest, which is perfect for pregnant women to nourish their fetus."
"That's true, I think my Xiaoyi has gained quite a bit of weight."
A little while later, the pregnant woman next door also got up, greeted Zhang Fangfang, and then went to the outhouse.
Her husband was still sleeping.
At this moment, Fu Leyi finally came out.
"Mom, where's Pan Hong?" Fu Leyi looked around but couldn't find Pan Hong.
“Your mother-in-law said he went to buy fish, and I don’t think he’ll be back for a while. Why don’t we go by ourselves and not tell him?”
Actually, Zhang Fangfang hesitated a lot when she said this.
From what she's known since last night, the family treats their daughter very well. Could it be that they're overthinking things?
If the other person didn't mean it that way, wouldn't their actions hurt their feelings?
The son-in-law's family was not well-off, and he was a son-in-law who had married into the family, so he was already feeling inferior.
It's really not good to let people know that they are on guard against them.
However, she also understood that one should always be wary of others.
