Chapter 105 – Pregnant Again!
After Ji Jianyun took the honey back, his wife liked it so much that she mixed a cup and drank it. Her complexion became better.
Ji Jianyun was worried. He touched her forehead and asked, “Do you have a heatstroke? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
“It’s just that it’s too hot. There’s no use going to the hospital.” Su Danhong didn’t think it was serious.
She just felt that her stomach was a little bit upset, but there was nothing else wrong with her. Although it was a hot day, she didn’t go anywhere and spent her days at home. Wouldn’t she be extremely delicate if she had a heatstroke under those conditions?
She did, however, eat a lot less food. Ji Jianyun cut some apples for her and asked her to eat a few pieces. He watched his wife eat two bites in front of him and fell asleep on the table.
Ji Jianyun saw that she fell asleep in the blink of an eye and was baffled. He took her back to his room to sleep. He ordered Da Hei to watch over her while he took Yan’er and Xiao Renren to the mountain.
Mother Ji asked, “Why did you bring the children up here?”
“Danhong is asleep. I’m afraid they’ll wake her. Mother, watch them for a bit. I’ll go back and cook first,” Ji Jianyun explained.
Mother Ji was shocked, and asked quickly, “Asleep at this time? What’s the matter? Is Danhong not feeling well?”
It was eleven o’clock, and almost lunch. How could she still fall asleep?
""
“Well, she doesn’t have much energy or an appetite these days. She doesn’t eat any more than a few mouthfuls every day. I just peeled an apple for her, she fell asleep after taking two bites,” Ji Jianyun said helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Mother Ji questioned, “Danhong can’t be pregnant, can she? If she is, it will be aborted. The rule now is that each family can only give birth to one, otherwise they will have to pay a lot of fines.”
As soon as the word “pregnant” was said, Ji Jianyun was confused. “It can’t be?”
Mother Ji had made up her mind, and asked, “How long has it been since her period?”
Ji Jianyun recalled the last time his wife had to wash up because of it. Her period really didn’t come this month.
“Then she is pregnant. All right, let’s find some time to do that. Remember to get a vasectomy so that you won’t have an accident later,” Mother Ji said.
Ji Jianyun was shocked and said, “Mother, what are you talking about? We want this child.”
Mother Ji was flabbergasted and looked at him. “But don’t you have Renren?”
If you don’t have a son, then it’s okay to have another one; but if you already have a son, then there’s no need to try for one.
“Mother, I’m out of the army now. If I was still in the army, then I would only have one. But now that I’m out, it’s okay to have a few more,” Ji Jianyun said.
He didn’t have a high position in the army, where the requirements would be more strict. Thus, there was no need to worry about this in their family.
As soon as Mother Ji heard what he meant, she said to him, “A fine will cost several hundred yuan. If you end up having more later, then wouldn’t you be burning through your money?”
“So what if we spend more for more children? Mother, don’t worry. Danhong and I have talked about it,” Ji Jianyun said.
He and his wife had the same opinion on the topic of having another child. They both think that one is too lonely, so they should at least have two. As for having more in the future, they would discuss it later.
There was a hefty fine for birthing more than one child. But for other families, the several hundred yuan fine would financially ruin them and they may not be able to come up with all the money. They would have to borrow money from other family members.
They were going to have another one despite the fine.
Ji Jianyun left Yan’er and Xiao Renren for his mother to look after. He went down the mountain and went back home.
When he went back to the room and saw his sleeping wife, he went to the kitchen to cook. He made a bit of congee for his wife, and then stir-fried some vegetables. Recently, she wanted to eat light things.
After cooking for his wife, he began to cook for the rest.
After sending the food to Father Ji and Father Ji, he left Yan’er on the mountain and took Xiao Renren down. He mixed him some milk and let him sit on the rug to drink by himself, while he ate on the table.
When Su Danhong woke up, it was almost one o’clock. She had slept for two hours.
When she woke up, Ji Jianyun and Xiao Renren were playing outside. She could hear Xiao Renren’s laughter.
Su Danhong got up and went out. Ji Jianyun rushed to support her and said, “Honey, if you’re hungry, I’ll bring you something to eat.”
“Do you have congee?” Su Danhong asked. She wanted to eat congee now.
“I do.” Ji Jianyun nodded and had her sit down. Afterwards, he went to get the congee.
Su Danhong was really hungry. She drank two bowls of congee and ate some pickled vegetables before she put down the bowls and chopsticks.
“Full?” Ji Jianyun couldn’t help askt.
“Yeah, I’m full.” Su Danhong nodded.
Ji Jianyun ate the rest and said, “Honey, you should be careful. Mother says you are pregnant.”
“Pregnant?” Su Danhong was stunned.
Ji Jianyun saw her face confused and said with a smile, “You’ve already given birth to one, but you don’t know if you’re pregnant now?”
Su Danhong really did not know! She did not think about that. She checked her pulse. Sure enough, it was a smooth pulse, a pregnant pulse!
“How did I get pregnant so soon?” To tell you the truth, Su Danhong was also slightly mystified. She thought it would take a while, but if she were to calculate the time, she should have conceived because of Ji Jianyun last month.
Ji Jianyun smiled and said, “You have to eat well now. There are two of you.”
Su Danhong said, “You don’t have to worry about me. What’s happening to me is normal. I’ll be fine after a while.”
It was like this in the early stages of pregnancy. But speaking of this topic, when she was pregnant with Renren she was not like this. She ate well and slept well, not to mention how carefree she was as if she really wasn’t pregnant. This time the reaction was a little too much.
Although she was almost certainly pregnant, Ji Jianyun took her to the clinic in town and confirmed it. Only then did she feel at ease to go home and raise the baby.
The news of Su Danhong’s pregnancy had not spread yet and it hasn’t been that long. If she was caught giving birth, then it would be severe.
However, they had apartments in Jiangshui City, so there was nothing to worry about. Worse comes to worse, they would go to Jiangshui City to raise the baby, so wouldn’t they be fine?
Su Danhong was relieved now that she knew that she was pregnant. She began to do whatever she pleased. She slept whenever she wanted. As for eating, she could not eat much, but her countenance was also good.
As for Yan’er, she asked Mother Ji to take care of her. She did not have the energy for that now, not even for Renren, who was mostly left under Ji Jianyun’s care.
At first, there were no changes, but after two months and at almost three months, these symptoms were gone. She felt brand new. Her appetite was good, and she liked to eat everything.
At this time, it was September. Many fruit trees on the mountain had become ripe, such as the jujube trees, the watermelons planted by Mother Ji, and so on. As for the watermelons planted by Su Danhong in their own backyard, they were almost completely gone as they started eating them a  long time ago.
Once again, the fruit trees on the mountain began to have a great harvest. Su Danhong could also help out. She didn’t go to the mountain of course. Instead, she helped pack up Yan’er, Xiao Renren, and everyone else’s food.
