Chapter 69: Letter In Reply

“Mei Mei, you have to control your mouth and don’t return to your previous size. See how good you look now that you’ve lost weight. If you get fat again, it will also be difficult to give birth!”

Big Auntie Dong held Qiao Mei’s hand and said earnestly.

Qiao Mei nodded. “Yes I know. Thank you, Auntie Dong.”

Her voice was clear and sweet.

Everyone smiled and nodded. This voice matched her current look very well. In the past, when she was dark and fat and spoke with this voice, they had found it simply cringey.

“And do less work at home. You just got pregnant, so you have to be careful.”

“Yes, that’s right. Fortunately, you don’t have to grow bean sprouts now and it’s not so busy anymore. You have to be more careful,” the auntie beside her advised.

Qiao Mei smiled and said, “Yes, I don’t have to be busy growing bean sprouts now. I just need to stay home and wait to raise the children.”

She had originally received an order of 200 catties of bean sprouts from the supply and marketing cooperative, but she did not take the order now that she did not want to work anymore. She wanted to focus on being at home.

Although the supply and marketing cooperative still wanted another batch of bean sprouts, Qiao Mei was determined not to grow bean sprouts anymore. She would not do it even if the price increased.

That was because the supply and marketing cooperative had already increased its order to 1,000 catties. In the future, the order size would likely continue to increase. If these orders kept coming, the income would no longer be able to be kept hidden.

A thousand catties a day can make her a few hundred dollars!

This amount of money could definitely not be kept a secret in her small village. If someone reported her, she would be finished.

This was not an era of economic freedom.

Besides, she was pregnant.

“Mei Mei, which day did your man come over?” Auntie Dong asked.

“April 21st.” Qiao Mei gave a clear-cut answer.

She had transmigrated at that moment and naturally knew the date very well. It had already been more than a month since then.

At this point, a few of the older women stood together, immersed in calculating the due date for Qiao Mei’s delivery. They discussed it noisily and finally came up with the date.

The due date would be at the beginning of January next year.

Qiao Mei nodded. The date she calculated was also around that time, but since she was pregnant with twins, she might deliver prematurely. The date was only a tentative one.

In her past life, she gave birth to a pair of pitiful twins who were so small and skinny.

This time, she would also take good care of her body and strive to provide the children with a healthy body to nurture them so that the children could be born healthy.

Qiao Mei chatted with the women for a while more before she went home happily. The first thing she did when she got home was to write another letter to Xia Zhe.

She quickly finished writing and was about to go and send the letter when she heard the sound of a bicycle outside the house. She was the only person in the entire village with a bicycle, so who was the person outside the house?

Qiao Mei turned around and saw the postman in dark green clothes stop at the door of her house. He said, “This is Qiao Mei’s house, right? There’s a letter for you here.”

The postman parked the bicycle and walked over quickly, handing the letter to Qiao Mei.

Qiao Mei was so happy her eyes disappeared with her smile.

Xia Zhe had written back to her?

It was just that she had never thought that he would reply to her. It was great that he would do that now.

She opened the letter in her hand and saw the beautiful handwriting on it.

A trace of joy flashed across Qiao Mei’s eyes. She suddenly recalled that night, thinking of his strong arms and bold eyebrows. He had flipped her over with one move and was very strong…

Qiao Mei covered her mouth and laughed. The postman was used to things like that and was about to leave when Qiao Mei stopped him.

“I have something to send too. Wait a minute.”

Very quickly, Qiao Mei brought out four jars. The four jars were filled with the pickled vegetables she had made. They were tender, crunchy and very refreshing and made a very good side dish for rice.

After all, she still had to give Xia Zhe some surprises.
