Reiko's self-report
An old friend Reiko I haven't seen for a long time. I met her on the street and saw that her body was much fatter than before, and almost didn't recognize her.
Reiko is a retired intellectual. Before she retired, she was an intellectual and elegant woman, let alone her poems that ordinary people do not have and the interesting souls in the distance. How many of her peers are envious of young people who are two rounds younger than her. She thinks that being able to live as Reiko is also the best among women.
Reiko is well-educated, humble and friendly. Whether in the company or in the circle of friends, she often attracts everyone's attention. Reiko always smiles when she encounters praise from others and says lightly: "Oh! Let's just mess around." She speaks sincerely, giving people no sense of artificiality.
Reiko's family has only three people, her husband, her baby son. After studying abroad, her son stayed in that country with a very developed economy in the world. She has a high salary and a wealthy life. It is also the pride of Reiko and her husband.
Reiko's husband is three years older than Reiko. Although he is the object of his relatives' introduction, he is the love at first sight that many people dream of dreaming of.
After getting married, my husband loved Reiko very much. In that era of shortage of supplies, I worked tirelessly to pick up Reiko from work by car.
They are all young people who have just left the school gate. They have also spent a lot of effort from the bicycles at the beginning to the motorcycle pick-up and drop-up. Of course, in addition to making money, her husband also borrowed a lot of foreign debts and bought a second-hand motorcycle to pick up and drop off Lingzi.
In that era when everyone relies on the Eleventh Road or bicycle to and from work, or it is a bus squeezing bus, Reiko's husband's motorcycle is very eye-catching in front of people, especially in front of Reiko's colleagues, everyone talked about it, praising Reiko for finding a three-good husband.
Reiko's praise for others was in her heart. Only she knew what it felt like to go through the dark and cold winter night and return to the home with a cold pot and cold stove of more than ten square meters.
said something funny. It was the first time Lingzi went to work after getting married. It turned out that the two of them were either taking buses to and from their units together, or her husband rode his 28-bar and took Lingzi to the scenery along the way while galloping. The young and energetic two became the scenery in the eyes of others.
Two young people ran back and forth with laughter. After Lingzi went to work, the first time she took the bus home alone, she realized that the distance between the two was really not close. In addition, when she returned to the small nest they had just built, the cold winter, the stove with no heat at all made Lingzi feel sad, and she couldn't help but whimper.
Reizi's husband had no idea why Ye Zi was sad. He thought she had encountered something sad at work. He asked Lingzi carefully: "What's wrong? What happened to work?"
Reizi saw that her husband didn't understand the reason why she cried at all, so she made a sound. She felt that she was particularly wronged. Why did she come back in such a cold weather but face the coldness of the room?
Reiko's husband lay in front of Reiko at a loss, looked at Reiko with the rain, and asked gently, "What's wrong? I thought you were joking, why did you really cry?"
Reiko ignored her husband and only cried her own sadness. Her husband advised her: "Okay, stop crying, what food should I eat?"
Reiko held back and cried, expressing her grievances: "I didn't expect that my home was so far away from our unit. It was almost nine o'clock in such a cold day, and it was cold and hungry..." Reiko said in a nagging manner.
Reiko's husband cooked silently, saying that cooking was not just a simple noodles, steamed buns and other rice. The steamed buns and noodles were all ready-made, and they could start cooking after stir-frying one or two dishes.
In that era, everyone was short of oil and meat. It was already very good to keep your stomach full when eating. No one cared about nutrition and health, and no conditions were concerned about it.
only elderly couples in their fifties and sixties have accumulated a certain amount of money and often roast pork and stew chicken. Most people have a simple and helpless life.
After less than half a year of life like this, Reiko became pregnant. Pregnant women need nutrition. Unfortunately, Reiko's reaction was very heavy. Even if she didn't eat anything a day, she would vomit very much. It is no exaggeration to say that she could vomit a large washbasin at a time.
Reiko was so uncomfortable that she vomited loudly. Reiko's husband looked at Reiko's upside down and when Reiko stopped vomiting, he slowly said, "Is this true or false? You can't pretend, right?"
Reiko's husband said that Reiko was very angry. She felt so uncomfortable that her husband actually said that she was pretending. In that era, people did not have so many channels to obtain health care knowledge like today. Reiko's husband's ignorance is understandable.
In Lingzi's eyes, she felt that her husband didn't care about her and wanted to speak like this to anger herself. The pregnant woman was already emotional. Lingzi took leave from the workplace and returned to her parents' home in anger.
The mother saw Reiko dragging her weak body back to her home and greeted her daughter with pain. Unfortunately, her daughter was experiencing the most painful and difficult time in her life. She shook her head with tears in her eyes: "I don't want to eat."
Reiko frowned and looked full of sorrow. Her mother saw it and felt heartbroken. The mother advised Lingzi: "Eat something, but you don't want to eat. You have to grit your teeth and eat something for the sake of the child in your belly, otherwise the child is not nutritious."
Lingzi's mother persuaded Lingzi with great sincerity, wanting to ask her to eat a few bites of the food she made.
Lingzizi shook her head and didn't want to eat it. Her mother advised her to force the child in her stomach to stuff it in for the sake of the child in her stomach. Lingzi had no choice but to bite the bullet and stuff the food into her mouth. If she couldn't eat it herself, the child in her stomach would be hungry.
Just as Lingzi's mother said: "For the sake of the child in her belly, you have to eat it, even if you vomit, and then eat it. Pregnant women suffer a lot, and it will be fine in a while."
Lingzi herself is an obstetrician and gynecologist. Her mother took great pains to comfort her. She felt that her mother was so great that she tried her best to cook for her and take into account her emotions for her daughter.
Reiko ate a little hard. She was afraid that the vomiting that was pouring water would come. It was too uncomfortable and she vomited tears until there was nothing to vomit. It was just some bitter, light yellow mucus. She knew that the bile had been spit out.
Reiko doesn’t know what kind of child she is pregnant with. She feels like she should be a son, and she has a sixth sense.
Lingzi stayed at her mother's house for a day. At night, her husband came to her mother's house to pick her up after work.
The parents-in-law always greeted this son-in-law with a smile, and looked down on this gentle son-in-law very much, and he was not good at speaking but was more sincere in dealing with people.
Lingko's mother happily greeted him for food and drink when she saw her son-in-law coming. Her son-in-law didn't refuse and sat down to eat generously. He ate very deliciously. Yes, a man who had just gotten married could not make any delicious meals. Today he had to have a good meal.
Reiko and her husband had both had a meal, and her husband asked Reiko: "Do you still have to rest at your mother when you go home?"
Reiko glanced at her husband and said ignorantly, "I won't go back." She had morning sickness, and she was angry, and her face became even more ugly.
My husband asked a little worriedly: "Do you want to go to the hospital for a look? Your face is very bad." The gentleness of my husband, Reiko felt that he was really worried about himself, and Reiko's eyes also became much gentler.
Lingzi's mother saw her son-in-law's nervous look and comforted him with a smile: "It's okay, pregnant people react more or less. Don't be nervous. If you are nervous, maybe her reaction will be more serious."Lingzi's mother loves her son-in-law very much, of course her eyes always fall on Lingzi's face. She didn't know what happened between her daughter and son-in-law, but she vaguely felt that they were a little weird.
Lingzi saw her mother looking at her with an inquiring gaze, she reluctantly smiled and said to her mother, "Mom, you said every pregnant woman will do this, I won't be afraid, anyway, it will be fine after a while."Lingzi comforted her mother.
Lingzi's mother was worried about her daughter: "Although many people have morning sickness, you can't be careless, you still have to take good care of it. You are a doctor who has seen some serious reactions, right?"
Lingzi said lightly: "Well, some people are so powerful that they don't have the strength to stand, let alone walk, they rely entirely on the support of their family, and some are even carried in by their husbands."
Lingzi's husband heard Lingzi say this, and his heart was relieved just now. He asked Lingzi nervously: "What should I do?"
Lingzi glanced at her husband and said, "You're hospitalized." She said it simply and directly.
The husband widened his eyes: "You need to be hospitalized when you are pregnant!" He thought he was making a big deal.
Reiko glanced at her husband: "Of course, some serious cases must be hospitalized, and some may even be in danger of life!"
Reiko's husband is a science and engineering man, how could he understand medical knowledge? He was so scared: "Then do you need to be hospitalized?" He only worried whether Lingzi needs to be hospitalized. Other pregnant women are someone else's wife and he doesn't care.
Lingzi was happy to see her husband's anxious look: This honest man, he was worried and nervous when he told him. He was really a real person...
Lingzi thought about her husband's fun in her heart, and she didn't feel that her anger towards her husband would disappear. She said calmly: "I'm not serious, I don't need to be hospitalized." She was comforting her husband.
Lingzi's mother said solemnly: "You are not serious, but you still have to pay attention to eating something that is easy to digest lightly. Remember to eat two eggs every day, and you have to eat them even if you don't want to eat them. Son-in-law, you supervise her, the child needs nutrition."
Lingzi's mother told her son-in-law to pay attention to his daughter's diet. This is not a joke.
Reizi's husband listened carefully to his mother-in-law's preaching and nodded like a chicken muttering rice. Reizi couldn't help but smile when she saw it.
