Chapter 2604 Recovery (fourth update)
Although this year, Luo Fengtang cannot come back to spend time with his relatives and children.
But Yang Ruoqing still picked it up with a very optimistic and positive attitude.
In the twelfth lunar month, I traveled between the village and Qingshui Town, and went to the town with Cao Bamei, Zhao Liuer and the others to buy new year's goods.
In the village, mother-in-law Tuoba Xian and aunt Wang Cuilian are also busy preparing New Year dishes.
In such a fulfilling and lively atmosphere, this year passed happily.
After the New Year, a spring breeze blows, winter is coming to an end, and spring is here.
All things began to recover, and cultivation began to appear in the fields.
Spring is the key to a year, and the rapeseed and wheat that have been dormant all winter are nourished by the spring rain.
It emerged from the cracked earth and grew wildly.
By the time the rapeseed flowers wither and produce plump and mature pod shells, it is already April in the world.
The cuckoo hovers overhead every day, calling over and over again.
Farmers have their own special understanding of this. They say that the cuckoo is calling "cutting wheat and planting barley".
This is to urge farmers to harvest rapeseed and wheat quickly so that they can be ready to plant the rice.
The farming season has begun in front of and behind the village, and everyone is busy harvesting rapeseed and wheat under the stars.
Rapeseed seeds have to be sent to an oil mill to be ground into rapeseed oil, which is what the family relies on for cooking oil throughout the year.
Wheat is ground into wheat flour, noodles are rolled, dumplings are made, and steamed buns are steamed.
It is a supplement to the staple food of rice to satisfy hunger during lean times.
If there is rice and wheat flour at home, the whole family will not starve to death. This is the concept and sense of security of the people in this era.
Because we have goals and expectations, we are impulsive and motivated when we do things.
In Lao Yang's family, there is a person who is also full of impulsiveness and energy.
But it is not used to harvest rapeseed and wheat, but to look forward to the arrival of a little life.
Yes, that person is Yang Huaming!
Xiaojuan is due to give birth in these few days. During these few days, the tenants are cultivating the rapeseed and wheat on the several acres of land purchased by Sifang. They will wait to collect some rent. That’s it.
Ms. Liu has been keeping up with the tenants these days, waiting to collect the rent at any time, not missing a single grain.
Yang Huaming stayed by Xiaojuan's side from morning to night. Looking at Xiaojuan's swollen belly, Yang Huaming couldn't help but get excited again and again.
Tan went to the goddess for divination in private and said that the baby was a son.
So, Xiaojuan suddenly became the target of protection in the backyard of Lao Yang's family. Yang Huaming stayed in Xiaojuan's house at night and took close care of her.
This went against the rules set by Old Yangtou, but for the sake of his grandson, Old Yangtou turned a blind eye.
No, this morning, Yang Ruoqing accompanied Sun to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, and happened to meet Zhao Liuer who came to pick vegetables.
Sun then asked Zhao Liuer about Xiaojuan.
"I have been busy harvesting these past few days and have not been to the old house. How is Xiaojuan doing? Is she giving birth soon?" asked Sun.
Zhao Liu'er said: "Oh, third aunt, if you don't ask, I can't help but ask you."
"Does this woman have to go through several twists and turns to give birth to a child? Can you really give birth?" she asked.
Sun was stunned for a moment, unable to realize what Zhao Liuer wanted to ask about.
On the other hand, Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled. "Sister-in-law, you are so cute in asking this," she said.
“A woman has to go through repeated labor pains for a long time before giving birth, which is not as smooth as a hen laying eggs.”
“Even if It's a hen that lays eggs, so it has to coo for a while!" she said.
Zhao Liuer blushed, grinned, and said: "No wonder, let me just say, Xiaojuan is so tormented. For several nights in a row, my fourth uncle came over and patted my door in the middle of the night. Let Yongzhi go call Wenpo for help, and let me go to the backyard to help accompany Xiaojuan and give Xiaojuan courage.”
"What? You're about to give birth?" Mrs. Sun understood and asked quickly.
Zhao Liuer said: "Every time we rush over in the middle of the night, Xiaojuan screams in pain from the bed, which makes me feel chilled all over."
"But every time she screams After a while, the pain stopped. Not to mention that Wen Po was a little impatient when she ran, even Yong Zhi and I couldn't bear it. Live.”
“I’m a little better, doing housework at home, and I can take a nap secretly when Hong’er falls asleep.”
“ But Yongzhi is miserable. He usually works in a restaurant, but he took time off during the busy farming season to come back to harvest wheat."
"I have to do field work all day during the day, and I can't sleep well at night. I have lost a lot of weight."
Zhao Liu'er said, shaking his head, with distress on his face.
"You are also haggard, and you have dark circles under your eyes." Yang Ruoqing said.
Zhao Liuer smiled bitterly, "I don't dare to say these things outside. People will say that I don't want to see my family, and they will complain after being asked to take care of me for a few nights."
"Third Aunt, Qing Son, I’m just going to tell you a few words. If Xiaojuan doesn’t give birth to the child, Yongzhi and I will be tortured to death.”
"Why is it so difficult to have a baby? It scares me so much that I don't dare to get pregnant or have a baby." Zhao Liuer said.
Ms. Sun couldn't laugh or cry, and said to Zhao Liu'er: "Isn't that just how it is for women to give birth to children? It's true that you are affected, but don't scare yourself away from having a baby just because of this."
"Boldly conceive, boldly give birth, what woman doesn't give birth to a child!" said Sun.
Yang Ruoqing also said: "Xiaojuan is the first child. Generally, the first child will have some difficulties, but it will be smoother later. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hen laying eggs."
"However, …”
"But what, Qing'er?" Zhao Liu'er asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Situations like hers that have intermittent pain for several days should be taken seriously."
Uterine contractions, as well as false contractions, vary in length and frequency. It varies from person to person.
But if the amniotic water breaks and the child still remains motionless, you should be cautious.
"Well, Xiaojuan is going to have a baby. Logically speaking, your fourth uncle has to go to your fourth aunt and your nurse. What should I do with you? You haven't given birth yet and have no experience in this area." Sun Sun Shi suddenly thought of this question and asked.
Zhao Liu'er said: "Fourth uncle dare not look for me, for fear of being scolded by me. It's Xiaojuan's idea not to look for me." How could he dare to ask his fourth aunt to take care of him if he has a thorn in his flesh? " Zhao Liuer said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Yes, I think so too, and Xiaojuan came out of the mansion. She has seen too many overt and secret fights between the real Mrs. Zhou and those concubines, so she must not dare to let Liu "I came here to intervene."
"So, this Xiaojuan is very scheming!" Sun murmured.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Who among the people in the courtyard is not scheming? Can't act by looking at people's looks?"
"Take Ping'er in our yard as an example. Ping'er also has scheming intentions."
