Regarding the mosquito repellent, we still need to slowly think about it before we can figure it out. There is no need to rush. After the young couple returned home, they first put the matter of asking someone to help with cooking on their agenda. First, he discussed it with the rest of the family, and Uncle Chu also felt that it would be more convenient to invite someone to come. If Shen Luzhu's morning sickness does not subside, it would be bad to end up eating next door in the future!
Then the young couple went to the yard next door to talk to their cousin Qian about the matter, and also asked her to help keep an eye on the candidates in the village.
Hearing this, Mr. Qian said with some disapproval: "You two are really paying for someone to cook for you. Why don't you just eat at my house all the time? Why are you having sex with me!"
Shen Luzhu explained with a smile: "How could it be possible? Our aunt's family treats us so well, how could we possibly be separated from our aunt? In fact, my current work and rest habits are different from usual. From time to time, even I I can’t even figure it out myself. Let alone what I want to eat or what I don’t want to eat, it’s not always certain when I’ll be hungry. Furthermore, I can’t even get up in the morning, and I can’t even decide on a time to eat! You can't be tied up in the kitchen every day because of this, just to cook for me!"
Qian nodded understandingly: "This is indeed what happens when you are pregnant with a child. If you are not hungry now or don't want to eat, maybe you will be hungry every day again after a while. But even if you are not sick anymore, It is true that it is better to go to the kitchen less often. Not to mention the heat in the summer, the family members are not worried about it. There are pregnant women in the houses of people in the village. It is the mother-in-law or the brothers-in-law, so they just do the kitchen work. I've taken it over, your situation is a bit more special, so I'll listen to your invitation, but until the invitation arrives, you have to stay at my place to eat!"
"That's natural. Even if my aunt doesn't let me, I still have to shamelessly go to your place to get food! I just have to ask my aunt to help us keep an eye on it and see if any aunt wants to do this job. of!"
Qian patted her chest and promised, "Leave this matter to me, and you two can rest assured and wait for my good news!"
He said that he wanted to invite someone to help with cooking, but it couldn't be done so quickly. After all, he had to cook three meals a day at the Chu family's old house, not just two days a day. It would be a busy time for farming. When the time comes, the work at home will inevitably be delayed. The rich people in the family may not be able to do it. The family has a tight life, but they have to take into account the lack of labor. Besides, the Chu family is Bian also had to look at his personality and taste his craftsmanship before he could make a decision, so there was no progress in this matter after several days.
That day, Mr. Qian was talking to the young couple in the shop. Jiang Juan, whom she hadn't seen for a while, walked into the shop with Xiaobao and a package: "Cousin, cousin, and aunt are here too. Xiaobao." Bao, hurry up and call someone!"
"Why are you here, cousin? The sun is shining brightly. Come inside and cool down!"
Shen Luzhu hurriedly greeted Jiang Juan into the house. Seeing this, Chu Xiuxiu hurried back to the yard and went to the kitchen to bring Jiang Juan and her son herbal tea. Shen Luzhu usually liked to drink herbal tea, adding a little bit of earth into it. Honey or sugar cubes, sweet and cool, are very refreshing. But now that she is pregnant, Grandpa Shen and Mother Shen have explicitly forbidden her from drinking these cold things. In order to take care of her mood, Chu Yi and others I rarely drink in front of her.
Jiang Juan picked up Xiaobao and sat down in the shop. She waved her hands and said, "Auntie, cousin, you don't need to pay attention to me. Just tell me what you want."
Qian teased Xiaobao and said with a smile: "I don't have anything else to do. I've already agreed with Ayi and the others. That's what we've decided on Luzhu. I'll give it to them later." Tell her to come over and cook lunch tomorrow, let’s try it out and see if it works, and then we can talk about anything else!”
"We all do it, it's all up to my aunt's arrangement!"
"Sure, I'll go back first. They're probably waiting for news from me over there!"
After Mr. Qian walked out of the shop, Jiang Juan asked curiously: "What is cousin sister-in-law busy with? Why do you still find someone to cook lunch at home?"
Except for the Chu family's old house, the Shen family and the Chu Ping family, the news of Shen Luzhu's pregnancy has not been mentioned to anyone else, and Jiang Juan has no idea about it.
Shen Luzhu felt that since this happened, it would be troublesome to hide it, so he simply moved towards Jiang Juan.
He put his hand in her ear and whispered: "I'm pregnant, and I want to invite someone to come to my house to cook three meals a day. My cousin helped me find one. Tomorrow, he will come to my house to cook a meal. Let's try something. Sample."
Jiang Juan took two steps back in surprise and looked at Shen Luzhu's belly: "Really? It's been a few months. When did you find out?"
Shen Luzhu smiled: "I just found out a few days ago, and it's less than two months. My grandma said not to spread it everywhere in the first three months. Didn't I tell my grandma to you?"
"Yes, yes, my mother-in-law said the same thing when I was pregnant with my little baby. Congratulations to my cousin and sister-in-law! Here comes my little baby, please tell your aunt congratulations, congratulations!"
Xiaobao was half-carried in Jiang Juan's arms, and his hands were held together by his mother-in-law. He made a bowing gesture and said, "Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Thank you, Xiaobao, you are so good!"
Jiang Juan thought about the purpose of her visit today. She didn't want to cause any trouble to Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu, but she really couldn't think of any other way. She pursed her lips and said, "Cousin, look, I'll give it to you." Can you cook?"
Not only the young couple, but also Chu Xiuxiu, who had just returned from bringing herbal tea, looked at Jiang Juan in surprise and confusion!
Jiang Juan explained sheepishly: "I came here today just to discuss with my cousin. If it is inconvenient, Xiaobao and I can stay with my cousin for a while. I happened to meet my cousin and you are in need of help." Let me cook the rice!"
Shen Luzhu was even more confused after hearing Jiang Juan's words: "You and Xiaobao are coming to live at home, of course we welcome you! It's just my cousin, what happened at home? Why do you suddenly want to come to live with me for a while? "
Jiang Juan pursed her lips, looked up at Shen Luzhu, and seemed a little embarrassed to say: "That's it..."
Seeing this, Shen Luzhu looked at the people in the shop. Apart from himself and Chu Yi, only Chu Xiuxiu was there. After thinking about it, he said to Chu Yi: "Chu Yi, I'm a little hungry. You and Xiuxiu help me go to the kitchen to see if there is anything there." There’s nothing to eat, okay?”
When Chu Yi saw his wife blinking at him, he understood instantly. After nodding in agreement, he took Chu Xiuxiu and Xiaobao in his arms and walked out of the back door of the shop.
Shen Luzhu pulled the chair closer to Jiang Juan and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, cousin?"
"It's Brother Ding!"
Upon hearing this title that he had not heard for a long time, Shen Luzhu secretly thought that this matter would be settled, but he did not expect that there would be a follow-up: "Captain Ding? He...is here to find you again?" "
"Yes!" Jiang Juan nodded heavily: "Brother Ding, no, it's Capt. Ding. He always returns to the village after the Chinese New Year. Every time he brings Yaya to play with Xiaobao. I didn't think anything about it at first. , or my mother-in-law said that I had better avoid suspicion, so when he came back during the Dragon Boat Festival, I made excuses to refuse. Who knew that he would come to the door every day in those days, so I thought I should tell him that we are like this It’s not good. You should avoid suspicion. Who would have thought that he would actually say that! He would actually say..."
"What did you say?"
Jiang Juan's head dropped even lower: "He actually said he wanted to marry me..."
Jiang Juan's voice became softer and quieter as she spoke, but Shen Luzhu still heard every word clearly, and his jaw dropped instantly. He really didn't expect that this Ding Captor could be so direct!
"Then what?"
"I was so frightened that I ran home."
"Then he never came to see you again?"
Jiang Juan nodded: "I looked for him several times, but I didn't see him. Then he came directly to my house with a gift and told my father and mother-in-law!"
Shen Luzhu thought to himself that it was too early to say that he looked like him directly: "What about after that?"
"My father and mother were also frightened, but they didn't agree to him. They just sent him away hesitantly. He never came again after that. I thought this matter was over. Who knew he came again a few days ago? I come to the door every day, I really have no choice, so I secretly came to my cousin sister-in-law today." After saying that, Jiang Juan quietly glanced at the package placed next to her.
Seeing Jiang Juan's behavior today, she ran directly to her shop with her parcel, and said she wanted to stay for a while. Shen Luzhu guessed that Prince Xiang might be interested in this matter, and the goddess became ruthless: " cousin
, what do you think about this? Are you scared, or do you just not like him at all? "
"Cousin, I... I only think of him as a benefactor and a good man. I have never thought about this! Besides, Captor Ding is so good and he is the county's captor. How can I be like this? The girl deserves it... I just want to take good care of Xiaobao, and I don’t want to think too much about other things."
Shen Luzhu sighed secretly. He wanted to persuade Jiang Juan but didn't know where to start. He also felt that it was too early to say anything now. He could only pat her arm and comfort her: "It's okay. You Just bring Xiaobao and live here with me for as long as you want. Recently, your cousins and the others have been looking at me so hard that I can’t do anything. You brought Xiaobao here, so you can accompany me. It relieves boredom, but only a little!"
Jiang Juan felt relieved, like a child obediently obeying instructions: "Sister-in-law, please tell me."
"Cousin, don't even think about cooking. I invite you to live at home. How can I instruct you to cook for me? That's impossible!"
"Thank you, cousin!"
Shen Luzhu smiled nonchalantly: "I see you just brought a package. You have brought enough. If you are missing anything, just tell me. We have everything at home!"
After saying that, he turned towards the yard and shouted: "Chu Yi!"
But after a moment, Chu Yi really opened the door and came in, holding a bowl of egg custard without any oil in his hand. Behind him was Chu Xiuxiu who was leading Xiaobao, and Uncle Chu who had just returned from the backyard. Chu Li.
Shen Luzhu looked at Chu Yi with surprise on his face: "Hey, how did you know that I'm really hungry! It smells so good. Did you make it?"
Chu Yi looked at his stupid wife and smiled. When she said this, wasn't she telling everyone that she was just pretending? Even if she didn't say it, everyone knew it well: "Well, it's still a little hot, cool. Let it cool before eating."
"My cousin is going to come to my house with me to relieve my boredom, and stay here for a while. Our guest room will finally welcome its first guest!"
Chu Yi put down the bowl in his hand, nodded to Jiang Juan and said, "My cousin, stay here for a while."
"Thank you, cousin!"
"It's all because of my family's politeness."
