Travel through 1972 with a space mall

Time flew by very quickly, and it was only a few days before Su Jiao's due date. Ye Mingyuan had already asked for leave yesterday and went out early in the morning to write a letter of introduction.

Mother Su is helping to pack things to take to the hospital tomorrow.

"Mom, I will go with Mingyuan tomorrow. Just rest at home. Mingyuan can take good care of me."

Su Jiao held up her stomach and began to think casually.

Her mother knew that she was going to the hospital to give birth tomorrow, so she was worried and insisted on going to the hospital with her to take care of her.

"You two are both having your first child. You have no experience. I can't sit still at home. Besides, it will be difficult for Mingyuan to take care of yourself, let alone a child." She kept moving and her smile covered her every word.

After Su's mother packed up her things, she went to the kitchen to deal with the crucian carp, planning to make a crucian carp soup for Su Jiao at noon.

Su Jiao followed Su's mother with her belly bulging out, frowning as she watched her mother scrape the fish scales and remove the internal organs, desperately trying to find a chance to change her mother's decision.

The crucian carp was delivered by Brother Su last night. Su Jiao had already had dinner when it was delivered, so Su's mother put the fish in a basin filled with water and raised it overnight.

Ye Mingyuan didn't have time to go to work, and it was past seven o'clock when he got home from get off work, so he had no time to fish.

Since the temperature has risen and the river water has stopped getting colder, Brother Su and Brother Su will come here every now and then to deliver fish, saying they are to supplement Su Jiao's nutrition.

Most of them are loach, crucian carp, carp and the like.

Su Jiao, who was drinking, felt like vomiting when she heard the word fish.

"Mom, I'm making fish soup again for lunch. I really can't drink it! I want to eat something refreshing."

Su Jiao looked at the fish in her mother's hand, her facial features almost wrinkled together, and she swallowed hard to suppress the nausea.

Mother Su looked at Su Jiao's expression as if she was about to be executed, and said with a smile: "This is your brother's wish after all. We are going to the hospital tomorrow, and we can't just throw this fish at home. If you don't want to drink it, Just give it to Yaoyao Mingyuan to drink, and mom will make you fried cucumber later."

After comforting Su Jiao, Su's mother washed the prepared fish, marinated it for a while, fried it in hot oil on both sides, then added water and simmered it over high heat.

Mother Su washed her hands and went out to pick cucumbers in her own plot.

Su Jiao was left staring at the pot lid in a daze.

"Jiaojiao, look who's here." Su Jiao was interrupted by Su's mother's shout from outside.

She looked up into the yard and saw Meng Long pushing his bicycle in.

"Sister-in-law!" Meng Long stopped the car and waved to Su Jiao.

Su Jiao came to the yard holding her waist with a look of surprise on her face, "Meng Long, when will you be discharged from the hospital? You'll be fine now, right?"

"Everything is fine. It has been fine for a long time. My parents were worried and insisted on letting me stay there for a few more days." Meng Long patted his belly gently and smiled brightly.

"Xiaolong, are you injured? Why did you go to the hospital? Are you seriously injured?"

Mother Su walked into the courtyard carrying a basket of cucumbers, heard their words, and quickly came to Meng Long and looked up and down.

Meng Long immediately understood that Su Jiao and Ye Mingyuan did not tell Su's mother that she was shot, probably because they were afraid of scaring Su's mother.

Meng Long said quickly: "Auntie, I'm fine. I accidentally knocked down when I was at work and was slightly injured. My family was worried, so I stayed in the hospital for a few days and everything has healed."

After saying that, she was still afraid that Su's mother wouldn't believe it, so she jumped a few times on the spot.

"Why are you so careless? You must be more careful in the future. Come in and sit down quickly. My aunt is making fish soup at noon. Please drink two more bowls to replenish your body."

Of course, Su's mother didn't expect that Meng Long had been shot. She thought it was an ordinary bump. After a few words of concern and instructions, the conversation was over.

Meng Long was not polite and said with a smile, "I will definitely drink a few more bowls at noon." He picked up the basket on the handlebar and followed Su Jiao and Su's mother into the house.

"Sister-in-law, let's see if your belly is about to give birth."

Meng Long sat on the edge of the kang and put the basket on the kang. Looking at Su's mother with a big belly and struggling to walk, he couldn't help but ask.

"It's almost there. It will be almost there in three or four days. Mingyuan is going to open a letter of introduction and will go to the county hospital tomorrow to wait for delivery." Su Jiao chuckled.

"Then it's appropriate for me to come today. If I come tomorrow, I won't be able to find you."

Meng Long didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Jiao going to the hospital to give birth. After all, he had a family background, and all the women in his family went to the hospital to give birth.

Meng Long took the basket next to him and took out everything in it and put it on the kang.

A blanket, two packets of milk powder, and a few canned meats and canned fruits.

"This is something for my nephew or niece. It's a coincidence that it came here today. I just brought it over and I can take it to the hospital tomorrow."

Before Su Jiao could say anything, Mother Su's face burst into laughter when she saw the things on the kang. She said politely: "You kid, come on. Why do you bring so many things?"

"Auntie, you're welcome. This is what I, as an uncle, should prepare for."

Having said this, Su Jiao didn't say any more polite words.

There is a tradition here. When a child is born, close relatives and friends will come to give blessings to the child.

However, they are usually given after the child is born, usually giving the child a few eggs or a pair of small socks. Of course, the richer ones will also make a bellyband, clothes, or buy bed blankets for the child. .

"Sister-in-law, I'm back!"

Su's mother went out to fry cucumbers in the kitchen. Su Jiao and Meng Long were chatting when they heard Ye Yao's energetic voice coming from the yard.

Ye Yao's eyes lit up when she saw the bicycle in the yard.

He ran to the kitchen with his short legs, took off the backpack from his back, and put it on the ground.

He said hello to Su's mother and quickly ran to the west room.

"Sister Tiantian..." Ye Yao walked into the west room and started shouting with her little white teeth exposed. When she saw Meng Long sitting on the kang, she suddenly got stuck.

"Little guy, don't you recognize me?" Meng Long teased.

"Brother Meng Long." Ye Yao reacted and shouted softly.

After shouting, he walked quietly to Su Jiao, pulled Su Jiao's clothes and stopped talking.

Ye Yao was a little disappointed, she thought it was Wang Tiantian who was here.

She hasn't seen Wang Tiantian for nearly two months, and Ye Yao misses her a little.

Su Jiao saw Ye Yao's disappointment, gently rubbed her messy hair, diverted the little guy's attention and said, "Yao Yao earned a few work points this morning."

"One!" Sure enough, Ye Yao's attention immediately shifted and she raised her index finger with a smile.

"Yao Yao is so awesome! She actually earned another work point. She is the most awesome kid I have ever seen." Su Jiao quickly applauded and encouraged her.

"Yao Yao can already earn work points? That's great!" Meng Long also gave a thumbs up without hesitation.

The little guy's eyes were rounded by the praise, and his face was red.
