"Tom the Cat and Jerry the Mouse." Jessie put down the remote control in her hand and replied, then smiled as she lifted the covers and got out of the hospital bed, walking towards her mother, "Mom, why are you here?"
"Came to see you." her mother put down the thermos bucket in her hand, touched her daughter's head and said lovingly.
Jessie leaned her head on her mother's shoulder, "Where's dad?"
"Your dad is fixing the garden at home, saying that when you come back, you can see a yard with a nice view." Jessie’s mother said.
Warm currents flowed through Jessie's heart. "Dad is so nice!"
"What about me?" Her mother said with an unhappy look, "I made chicken soup, and it took hours, and you only have your dad in eyes."
"Mom!" Jessie was amused, shaking her mother's arm, "That is not true, when I saw you came in, I walked over to greet you."
Her mother smiled, "Yes, yes, I was just joking with you, all right, you go back to the hospital bed and lie down, I will give you chicken soup."
"Mm." Jessie nodded, let go of her mother's arm, and obediently went back to lie on the hospital bed.
Jessie’s mother put the thermos bucket on the bedside of the hospital bed, then opened the lid of the thermos bucket, picked up a clean bowl, and began to serve the soup.
Smelling the mellow chicken soup permeating the air, Jessie couldn't help but swallow, "So fragrant, it's been a long time since I've had chicken soup."
"Then drink more." Jessie’s mother said smilingly, then handed her the chicken soup, "Here, be careful, it's hot."
"I know, don't worry." Jessie smiled at her mother and took the chicken soup, stirring it gently with a spoon.
Jessie’s mother pulled over a chair and sat down, just looking at her daughter lovingly, "Did you have a big reaction in the past few days?"
Jessie knew that her mother was asking about her pregnancy reaction, and after taking a sip of chicken soup, she looked down at her stomach, her eyes gentle, "Although there is still a reaction in these days, but not as big as before. Before I would vomit and had no appetite, but now I can eat. See this chicken soup is so greasy, but I can drink it."
"That's good." Jessie’s mother was reassured to hear that, "It’s good that you can eat, or it is bad for your health and the baby’s."
"Yes." Jessie nodded her head.
Her mother looked at her, "It's good that the reaction is less now, maybe after some more time, the reaction will disappear."
"I asked the doctor, he said almost three months later, I will be basically fine." Jessie said as she sipped her chicken soup.
Jessie’s mother nodded with a smile, "That's right, the first three months of a woman's pregnancy is the most painful, but later it will be fine."
"Well then." Jessie responded.
Jessie’s mother just looked at her tenderly.
After watching her finish the chicken soup, she stood up and took the bowl from her hand, "Want more?"
Jessie shook her head, "No, it's enough, or I can’t eat dinner later."
"That’s true." Jessie’s mother responded.
Jessie looked at her, "By the way, mom, did you send chicken soup to Mr. Joe?"
Jessie’s mother answered, and her smile faded: "Yes, we are the reasons he is hospitalized. You stopped taking care of him now, but I know I should send him the soup."
Jessie raised her chin, "I knew you are the most thoughtful."
Her poked her forehead, "You're good at kissing ass."
Jessie covered her forehead that was poked and let out a laugh.
At this time, Jessie’s mother suddenly thought of something, put the dishes into the basket she brought, looked at Jessie and asked, "Right, Jessie, in the past few days, did something happen between you and him?"
