Afraid that Shen Luzhu still couldn't smell the smell of meat, Qian called Chu Ping to her side in the middle of the afternoon and asked him to go to the yard next door to say something. In the past few days, he had lunch and dinner at his own house, which saved a lot of money. Shen Luzhu still had to cook by himself.
Chu Ping followed his mother's instructions and turned around to go to the shop in front of the door. Shen Luzhu was sitting at the counter, boredly watching Chu Yi buy goods. When he saw Chu Ping coming, he hurriedly asked: "Why aren't you at home?" Accompanying my siblings, I came to the shop, but what’s the matter with my cousin?”
Seeing that there were outsiders in the shop, Chu Ping remembered what his mother-in-law had told him before going out, saying that there were taboos for women in the first three months of pregnancy, and asked him to be careful not to accidentally let it slip, so he thought about it. She changed her rhetoric: "My mother-in-law said that there was too much food left at home from the wedding banquet yesterday. The weather is so bad that we can't store anything, so I asked my cousins-in-law to come to my house to eat in the past few days. It also saves us that we can’t eat it at home, it would be a pity to waste it!”
How could Shen Luzhu not understand that Qian's purpose was to ask her family to eat next door? It was because she was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable smelling the fumes. Coincidentally, just before Chu Ping came, she was still thinking about what Auntie would do at noon. The clear soup noodles I made didn't have any grease at all, so she was fine after eating it. She didn't know if the smell of oil smoke would react when cooking at night. If not, she couldn't let the whole family follow her for every meal. Don't even touch the stars.
"Thank you very much, Auntie. You don't have to cook, but it saves us a lot of trouble!"
Qian still made a meal for dinner with Shen Luzhu. Shen Luzhu originally thought that he could sit at the dinner table with his family and eat together. As long as he didn't eat anything else, it would be fine. Passing by the kitchen in the yard next door, I smelled the smell of Qian's cooking inside, which made my stomach churn again. I had no choice but to be taken back to the bedroom by Chu Yi.
Looking at the egg noodles with watery soup on the Kang table and Chu Yi sitting opposite him, Shen Luzhu couldn't bear it: "Chu Yi, you go next door to eat with Uncle San and the others. I'm fine. I'm on my own." Just eat it.”
"I'll accompany you, and we'll eat together." Chu Yi said, reaching for the small bowl on the side, taking out the eggs and vegetables first, and then dividing the noodles and soup into them.
"This noodle is so bland, with no fat at all, you won't be able to bear it."
Chu Yi pushed the bowl of noodles he had just divided in front of his wife: "You can eat it, why can't I eat it? Eat it quickly, the temperature is just right."
After saying that, he picked out a bowl of noodles for himself and started eating them directly. Fortunately, after Qian knew that the young couple ate together at noon, he specially made more for this meal in the evening, for fear that the young couple would not be able to eat enough. Shen Luzhu and the little bean sprouts in her belly were so hungry.
Reaching out and picking out an egg from his bowl and giving it to Chu Yi, Shen Luzhu told him about the fact that the whole family was a little overly nervous about him: "Chu Yi, how many of you, your third uncle and Xiuxiu?" Don't be too nervous. I'm really fine. I just feel a little nauseous when I smell the fumes. If I can't smell it, I'm a good person again. Nothing's wrong. You don't have to be so nervous. Just be the same as before. There's nothing needed. Everything is done for me. Didn’t the aunts in the village always say that when they were pregnant with the child, they could still work in the fields!"
When Chu Yi heard this, he bit off the noodles near his mouth and looked at his wife in disbelief, as if he was afraid that she would really go to work in the fields tomorrow!
Seeing this, Shen Luzhu quickly explained: "What are you thinking about! Of course I can't do this. Not to mention being pregnant, even when I wasn't pregnant, I didn't do much work in the fields! I just wanted to He said, I'm not made of paper. Even though I'm pregnant now, I can still do things like serving tea and water, selling paper money, and you don't have to always look after me carefully."
Chu Yi paused. He wanted to persuade his wife, but he didn't want her to become nervous or unhappy. Then he nodded and said, "Okay, listen to A Zhu."
Shen Luzhu then ate his clear noodle soup with a smile, and did not forget to continue to put eggs and vegetables into Chu Yi's bowl: "You have brought them all to me, you should eat more!"
The next morning, Shen Luzhu woke up a little later than usual. When he got up and came to the yard, Chu Yi had already lit a fire in the kitchen and had porridge and eggs cooked in the pot.
"Why didn't you wake me up? What if I let the village
The aunt here knows that you are making breakfast at home, so wouldn’t I become a negative example for every household in the village to teach the little girl a lesson? "
After Shen Luzhu finished speaking, he thought about the scene again and couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was estimated that his father and mother would sneeze one after another without interruption!
Chu Yi saw that his wife was in a good mood, but he didn't care. How could he live his life behind closed doors? Why should he worry about what others thought? Fortunately, neither he nor A Zhu cared too much about the opinions of others.
Shen Luzhu didn't need to make any stir-fried vegetables or stews for breakfast. Shen Luzhu only had to mix two more pickles. But he had just done half of the work when he asked Chu Xiuxiu, who had woken up early today, to take over it. .
Before Shen Luzhu married into the Chu family, Chu Xiuxiu had to get up early every day. Apart from Chu A'nai, she was the only girl in the family. She naturally had to help with washing and making fires, feeding chickens and making pig food. So I got up earlier every morning than Grandma Chu, lit the fire in the kitchen in advance and boiled the water.
Until Shen Luzhu married into the Chu family, he felt that a child as young as Chu Xiuxiu was at the age where he would be too sleepy, so he took them by himself. He also specifically told Grandma Chu that there was no need to ask Chu Xiuxiu for help in the morning. This way I can sleep later and get up later every morning.
Chu Xiuxiu got up early today. She was thinking that Shen Luzhu was pregnant with her child and she had to come over early in the morning to help!
I thought I had already communicated with Chu Yi yesterday, but after breakfast, Chu Yi took away my work. After clearing the dishes, he walked directly into the kitchen and started washing the dishes. Xiu Xiu followed him. , there is no place of its own at all.
In the end, Shen Luzhu was pulled by Chu Li's arm and walked out of the kitchen: "Sister-in-law, the school is closed today. Sister-in-law, come read with me!"
At this time, Uncle Chu also stood in front of the door of the main room with a smile and said: "Li, please be gentle, hold your sister-in-law and don't walk so fast!"
When Chu Li heard this, he walked even slower, as if he had deliberately turned on slow motion. His appearance almost made Shen Luzhu look so cute! No matter how cute she is, she can't hide the fact that her negotiation failed last night.
So after Chu Yi finished cleaning up, Shen Luzhu mentioned that he wanted to go back to Shen's house. First, he wanted to ask his grandpa if there was any way to alleviate his pregnancy reaction. At least you could call me It's hard to make simple dishes by yourself or eat with everyone. It's not easy to ask Chu Yi to accompany you all the time and eat so lightly.
The second is to ask Mr. Shen and Mother Shen to help talk to Chu Yi and relieve the tension that he and his family are currently feeling. I am only less than two months pregnant, and I really don't need to be so carefully taken care of by my family.
When Chu Yi heard that his wife wanted to go back to her parents' home, he had no objection. He quickly drove the bullock cart and parked it in the yard. He also spread a thick quilt on the cart as a mat and helped Shen Luzhu on the cart with his own hands. After sitting down, he ran to get a straw hat and put it on her to protect her from the sun. Then he took Chu Li and Xiu Xiu and slowly and leisurely rushed towards the Shen family.
As soon as the oxcart stopped in front of the Shen's house, before Chu Yi could step forward to lock the door, the Shen's courtyard door was opened from the inside. The god Songbai behind the door was startled, and then he laughed and said: "How many of us are there?" I was just about to go out to your place, but as soon as the door opened you were here, come into the hospital quickly, come into the hospital quickly!"
Chu Yi drove the bullock cart directly into the Shen family's yard, and then carefully lifted his wife out of the bullock cart. After she stood firm, he drove the bullock cart to the newly built cowshed in the Shen family's backyard.
Shen Songjie earned some money from selling mosquito repellent in the first year, and thought that he would continue this business in the future. Not only did he have an ox cart at home, it would be convenient, and he would not have to worry about delaying Shen Luzhu and the others' purchase, and they would not do this business. At that time, the oxen could still help the family plow the land. After all, there were a lot of benefits from buying it. In the fall of last year, I began to think about buying an oxcart. It was not until around the spring of this year that I successfully bought the one I wanted. Come down.
Shen Luzhu was surrounded by the Shen brothers and entered the main room of his house. Master Shen, who had already gone to the pharmacy in the front yard, heard that his granddaughter's family had come, and returned to the yard with the pulse pillow, just in time for Shen Luzhu to look at it again Take a look.
When Shen Luzhu saw that not only his second brother Shen Songjie was there, but also his cousin Shen Zeqi, he guessed: "My second brother and my cousin have stopped trading for a day and want to see me? Why do you want to mobilize so many people?" of! "
The four cousins of the Shen family are indeed going to see Shen Luzhu together today, not only the four brothers, but also Shen Luzhu's sister-in-law Zhou. The second sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, had just given birth to a child in February. Now the child is still small and cannot be separated from my mother-in-law. She cannot take her out with her. Originally, I couldn't go over to see my sister-in-law, and I felt a little embarrassed. Now that Shen Luzhu came by himself, it was more convenient for her, and she hurriedly carried the child to the main room.
Shen Songjie waved his hand and said, "It's not as important to do business as to visit you. You..."
Ms. Liu, who was sitting next to Shen Zeqi and holding a child, seemed a little anxious. She couldn't wait for Shen Songjie to finish what she said, so she said hastily: "My sister-in-law doesn't know, but the business will be difficult to do this year. My sister-in-law has many ideas..."
Mrs. Liu just gave birth to a baby at the end of the first year. It is now six months old. He is a big, fat boy. He is very strong and lively. He keeps twisting and turning in his mother's arms. Go.
Before Ms. Liu could finish her words, she was interrupted by her second aunt Zheng: "Ms. Liu, is Sanqi so uncomfortable? Look at how he moves. Is it because the weather is hot and the child is wearing too much? Although he can’t catch a cold, don’t cover him too much, or go and change his clothes.”
Shen Zeqi also glanced sideways at his wife, stretched out his hand and gently explored Sanqi's back: "It seems to be a little hot, so let's change him to a thinner one."
Mrs. Liu paused after hearing this, then looked at the faces of her husband-in-law and mother-in-law, and then nodded and said, "It seems that he has a little too much clothes on him, so I will go change it for Sanqi now. Sister-in-law, you guys go first." Chat, I’ll be back in a minute.”
"Sister-in-law, just go and do your own business, don't pay attention to me!"
After Mrs. Liu left the house, Mrs. Zhao, the second sister-in-law, joked: "Thanks to my family's small age this month, I eat when I'm hungry and sleep when I'm sleepy. If it's a few months later, I'm afraid I'll be much more busy than my siblings." , I just hope that this brat will gain less weight by then, so that his mother and I can have an easier time."
Mother Shen scolded Mrs. Zhao and said, "How can you be a mother-in-law like you and hope that your child will not gain weight?"
Second Aunt Shen also agreed: "That's right, I've obviously been a grandma once, why are you so unreliable!"
Mrs. Zhao repeatedly begged for mercy and then changed the subject from just now.
