Cheng Huihui heard nothing but the word "carrying a baby". She looked up at Chen Juan who was leaning against the cupboard and whispering to Yan Zhen, and walked over involuntarily.
"How can it be so fast?" Yan Zhen stir-fried peanuts over low heat and looked up at Cheng Huihui, who was walking over.
A little embarrassed, Cheng Huihui didn't know how to join this topic, so she could only pretend to help Chen Juan pound potatoes, but she was always absent-minded.
"How long have you been married to your man?" Chen Juan nudged Cheng Huihui with her elbow and suddenly changed the topic to her.
Cheng Huihui raised her eyelids and glanced at Chen Juan, then whispered, "It's been a few years."
Chen Juan immediately asked: "Then why haven't you given birth to a child?"
The expression on Cheng Huihui's face was visible to the naked eye, and she said hesitantly: "I was pregnant with one before, but I miscarried without noticing, and then, I didn't want any more."
"However, we are busy with work, and my wife and I are also worried about who will take care of the child after the birth, so we are not in a hurry." Cheng Huihui made up for herself and said in a relaxed tone: "Isn't this the same as taking a break?"
Chen Juan sighed, "I'm worried for you. Only after this child is born will the family be able to settle down."
"This is how a family will be complete. You have to hurry up!"
A trace of bitterness flashed across Cheng Huihui's face, she lowered her head and hummed softly.
Yan Zhen kept observing the expression on Cheng Huihui's face, and saw that her brows were furrowed, but she smiled along with them with a worried look on her face.
It's not like she said she's not in a hurry. Most likely she wants a child but has been unable to get pregnant.
"Let me tell you, when you watch this child grow up little by little, you will feel special in your heart. What is that sentence called?" Chen Juan raised her head and said happily: "Yes, it is called satisfaction! "
"I feel particularly satisfied. I feel that no matter how tiring or uncomfortable it is to give birth to him, it is worth it! So, you must hurry up and have a baby. I am really worried for you."
The peanuts in the pot were crackling and popping. Yan Zhen turned off the gas stove and called Cheng Huihui, "Sister-in-law, help me get a basin."
"Okay." Cheng Huihui seemed to be relieved, opened the curtain on the kitchen, took a small basin, and handed it to Yan Zhen.
"Having a baby is not just a game. How can you say you want it? You have to prepare for pregnancy in advance!" Yan Zhen looked at Cheng Huihui and said, "The child born this way is healthy and smart."
"If you want to have a baby at any time, you can come to me and I will ask my master to prescribe some herbs for you to prepare for pregnancy."
Cheng Huihui's eyes lit up instantly, "Really, there is such a thing as preparing for pregnancy!"
"Of course!" Yan Zhen said with a smile while shoveling peanuts into the basin, "Just think of it as conditioning your body. If you are in good health, the pregnancy will not be so uncomfortable, and the delivery will go smoothly. many."
Cheng Huihui nodded immediately, "Okay, okay, then I will discuss it with my man. If we are sure we want a child, I will come find you."
Yan Zhen said: "Okay."
Chen Juan interrupted, "Then I'll take care of it too, no, let's take care of it together, and we'll get pregnant together when the time comes! I also want to have another little girl."
"This way the children can grow up together and be a companion!"
Chen Juan has fallen into enjoyment, and Yan Zhen doesn't want to hurt her. She has now started family planning, and the policy no longer allows her to have any more.
After these few exchanges, Cheng Huihui's liking for Yan Zhen skyrocketed. Yan Zhen was a person who was very considerate of people's emotions when talking and doing things. Cheng Huihui knew that Yan Zhen must have guessed her true situation, but she didn't say it clearly. Instead, she suggested taking her to see a Chinese medicine doctor in the name of preparing for pregnancy and regulating her body.
Being concerned about her face and privacy warmed Cheng Huihui's heart a lot.
Only then did she smile happily and said happily: "Okay, then we will prepare for pregnancy together and get pregnant together! It's great!"
Otherwise, if she was caught drinking Chinese medicine alone, word would immediately spread in Tongzilou that she was infertile, making it known to everyone, which would be embarrassing.
The ingredients for the big rice bag were all ready, and the rice happened to be steamed, so several people quickly put it on the table.
"Oh my god, I'm going to shed tears when I smell this smell!" Li Jiangang was the first to reach out, holding the vegetable leaves and started making rice dumplings with familiarity.
Stir mashed potatoes, eggplant, egg sauce, and steamed rice together, then sprinkle with chopped green onion and peanuts, and wrap them in vegetable leaves.
Li Jiangang first made a fist-sized bag and handed it to Cheng Huihui, "Hurry up and eat it while it's hot! It's so delicious!"
"How do you eat this?" Cheng Huihui held the rice bag with a confused look on her face. She didn't know how to eat it at such a big age.
Li Jiangang licked the egg sauce on his fingers and said vaguely: "Take it with your mouth and eat it! Take big bites and eat it!"
He looked at his wife, holding the rice bag carefully, trying several times but still not knowing how to eat it.
Eating is so hard!
Several people around him had already eaten. Li Jiangang couldn't wait to make himself an enlarged version of the rice bag, which was as long as his little hand and arm. Cheng Huihui was stunned to see it.
Then under Cheng Huihui's shocked gaze, Li Jiangang opened his mouth wide and took a big bite. His cheeks were bulging. He immediately raised his brows and showed a satisfied look.
Cheng Huihui looked at the people around her again. Everyone was eating in this way, taking one big bite after another, and it looked delicious. Even the children ate it with gusto, and it didn’t seem to be an unpalatable thing.
Cheng Huihui also imitated the people around her and opened her mouth.
After one sip, she immediately felt that it was worth sacrificing her image!
"Is it delicious?" Yan Zhen said to Cheng Huihui: "Dongbei rice dumplings are something like this. After eating them once, you want to eat them a second time!"
Cheng Huihui nodded hurriedly, looking at the group of people devouring food around her, and suddenly realized that they were actually very cute.
Maybe she's in a good mood today? Cheng Huihui smiled and lowered her head to bite the rice bag.
Except for Cheng Huihui, all of them were big eaters. Tian Fugui and Li Jiangang ate so much that they wanted to loosen their belts, mainly because they were embarrassed in front of lesbians.
Chen Juan kept burping as she ate, staring at the remaining half of the rice bag in her hand, and forced herself to eat it.
It’s not easy to have a delicious meal these days! Everyone is satisfied with what they eat.
There was still a lot of egg sauce and potatoes and eggplants left, so Yan Zhen divided the portions between the three families.
"Steam some rice and fry some peanuts in the morning, and you can still have a meal."
Before I left, I really didn’t forget to tell me, “It’s a hot day and I’m afraid it will spoil. First mix the potatoes, eggplant and egg sauce. The egg sauce is salty, so it won’t spoil easily. If you put it in a cupboard to cool down, it shouldn’t spoil.”
The smell of scrambled egg sauce was still flowing in the corridor. Chen Juan smelled the egg sauce in her basin, thinking that it could be used as breakfast tomorrow, so she casually placed the basin in the kitchen against the wall in front of her house.
Liu Dahua, who had been watching the movement outside, saw Chen Juan entering the house and quickly instructed Wen Juan to get it.
Liu Dahua smelled it when she was frying egg sauce just now, and the greed in her heart made her restless.
She always wanted to eat the food cooked by Yan Zhen, but she couldn't go to her door to ask for it anymore, so she finally got this opportunity.
"Mom, it's not okay. This is someone else's thing after all. It's not taken, it's stolen!" Wenjuan held the door and looked out through the crack in the door, feeling extremely scared.
If you ask for it on your own initiative, you are doing it in front of others. Going behind someone’s back is a crime! Wenjuan still understands this.
Liu Dahua poked Wenjuan's forehead and said sternly: "What about stealing or not? It's such an ugly thing to say!"
"The neighbors living in the street should think of us if they have delicious food. This city is just not as good as the countryside and has no mercy!"
Liu Dahua finished sighing and pushed Wenjuan out the door, "Hurry up!"
Wenjuan reluctantly walked out. She looked around with fear. There was no one around. She hesitated and did not dare to move. She stood there and looked back at Liu Dahua.
"Go!" Liu Dahua didn't dare to say anything, so she could only open her mouth and make mouth movements to urge Wenjuan.
Wenjuan had no choice but to open the curtain and bend down to get the basin.
"What are you doing!"
