The footsteps outside the house were very light, but Zhou Yang, with his sensitive ears, still heard it. It must be that Li Youwei was back.
He immediately got up from the kang and saw Li Youwei walking in from outside.
She was holding something in her hand and holding Bao'er in her arms.
Zhou Yang immediately got off the kang and came out.
After seeing Zhou Yang, Li Youwei handed the thing in her hand over and motioned for him to take it.
However, Zhou Yang stretched out his hand towards Bao'er. This girl had gained a lot of weight in the past two months. She was estimated to be almost thirty-five or six pounds, and she was very heavy in her arms.
"Bao'er is asleep, let me hold her, don't wake her up!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang stopped immediately.
He knew that if the little girl was sleepy, let her sleep as much as she wanted. If he woke her up halfway, she would have a bad temper and be very noisy.
The most important thing is that children, unlike adults, can sleep after making a fuss.
In fact, if a child is done making noise, his energy will be better, and he will not want to sleep before eleven or twelve o'clock (speaking from experience, my girl is like this, it's hard to explain).
Back in the house, the two of them settled the little girl first, and then started talking.
Li Youwei untied the cage cloth she brought back, and there was an aluminum lunch box and two interlocked ocean bowls inside.
The big bowl was filled with a big bowl of stew, and the lunch box contained a few sliced pancakes and even a few boiled eggs.
"Hey, are there guests at the old house?" Zhou Yang asked in surprise.
This kind of pure white flour pancake is a good meal in this era. Usually it is only made when entertaining guests.
Li Youwei smiled and said: "That's not true, it's just dry food prepared by my mother for my sister-in-law!"
"Dry food, where are you going, sister-in-law?"
"Third sister-in-law's second brother came to send a message to our family, saying that third sister-in-law's stomach started to hurt in the afternoon and she was probably going to give birth, so my mother asked third brother and sister-in-law to go to the county hospital to have a look!" Li Youwei said .
Hearing this, Zhou Yang smiled and said, "This is a good thing. It seems that Lao Li's family is about to add another child!"
"It's a good thing, so when my sister-in-law and the others left, my mother not only baked a lot of pancakes, but also boiled more than thirty eggs and brought a lot of brown sugar."
"That's right. The conditions of the third sister-in-law's natal family are average and definitely not as good as the fourth sister-in-law's natal family. During the confinement period, you still have to rely on the old house to provide more things!" Zhou Yang said.
"Well, that's what my mother said too!" Li Youwei said.
"By the way, this is for the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law. Why did you get it back for me?" Zhou Yang said again.
"Haha, I was thinking that you hadn't eaten yet, so I brought some back for you!"
Perhaps she was worried that her man would be unhappy, so Li Youwei explained: "Besides, this is also what my parents meant. They said you have lost a lot of weight during this period, and they want me to give you more nourishment!"
Zhou Yang looked at himself up and down, and then said, "Have you lost weight? Why don't I feel it?"
In fact, Zhou Yang feels that he is in good physical condition now. He is young and energetic. After translating a manuscript all night, he can still go to work at the brigade headquarters in the morning.
"Haha, how can you feel whether you are thin or not?"
With that said, Li Youwei took the chopsticks for Zhou Yang and poured him a teacup of hot water to dry.
Her mother-in-law's pancake skills are indeed outstanding. Li Youwei definitely did not get the true inheritance from her mother-in-law on this point. With the same materials, the mother and daughter made something completely different.
I don't know if he was hungry, but Zhou Yang ate very well today. He devoured a large bowl of stew and three pancakes.
After eating, Li Youwei washed the bowls and lunch boxes before returning to the house.
At this time, it was completely dark outside!
Suddenly, Zhou Yang felt that something was wrong with his wife's expression today. Her face was a little red and her expression was a little awkward.
It seems like he has something to say but is too embarrassed to say it!
"What's going on?"
Li Youwei's face turned even redder, and she even lowered her head!
Her expression attracted Zhou Yang's attention. He immediately came over and touched her forehead, frowned and said, "It's so hot. Do you have a fever?"
Li Youwei said hurriedly: "No..."
"It's much hotter than mine, and you said it wasn't..."
Before Zhou Yang could finish speaking, Li Youwei said again: "No really, I just...just..."
"It's just what you said!" Zhou Yang frowned.
"I just want... a baby!"
After speaking, Li Youwei looked at Zhou Yang longingly.
Zhou Yang immediately understood that this girl must have been aroused by her third sister-in-law again.
There are five brothers and sisters. Except for her, the youngest sister, the rest are either the second or third child.
What's more important is that her first child was still a girl. In this village with a strong preference for boys over girls, Li Youwei felt a little bit stressed.
And she also likes children very much and has always wanted to have a second child.
When the fourth sister-in-law gave birth to Li An, she was extremely envious. Now that she heard that the third sister-in-law was about to give birth, she felt a little stimulated.
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "We've been working hard, don't be anxious!"
Li Youwei looked at him and said, "Why don't you worry? It's been so long and my stomach has not moved at all. Do you think it will..."
"Don't think blindly, there is nothing wrong with your health!"
Zhou Yang knew that the lack of movement in her stomach had nothing to do with her body. It was all caused by him deliberately getting it out every time he did something.
No matter how fertile the land is, without seeds, it will definitely not be able to sprout.
There are two reasons why Zhou Yang doesn't want her to get pregnant. The first is that he knows that the country will resume the college entrance examination in 1977, so there is really not much time left for Li Youwei.
Especially if you want to get into one of the top universities in the country like Beijing University, it is really not easy.
But if she is pregnant now, the pregnancy and taking care of the baby after giving birth will greatly affect her review and thus the college entrance examination.
Secondly, in his previous life, Zhou Yang, besides being sorry for his wife, was the most sorry for his daughter.
So in this life, he wants to leave all his father's love to Bao'er.
Once he has a second child, he will inevitably be distracted, so this is another reason why he does not want a second child.
Of course, Zhou Yang didn't want Li Youwei to be so hard. People who have never been a parent can never imagine how tiring it is to be pregnant, give birth, and take care of a baby.
Therefore, in the past few times, he drew his gun and left at critical moments. It was reasonable for Li Youwei not to be pregnant.
However, Li Youwei herself didn't know anything about this matter at all, and it was completely understandable to suspect that something was wrong with her body.
Seeing his wife looking at him with half anxiety and half longing, Zhou Yang knew that he had to compromise on this matter, otherwise, this silly woman wouldn't know what to think about!
At that moment, he asked seriously: "Do you really want to have a second child?"
"Think about it, I just want a child!" Li Youwei said seriously.
"Are you still tired from raising a baby?"
"Yeah, but I like..."
"My baby will be disobedient when she grows up, which is very annoying!"
"I gave birth to it myself, so I'm not afraid!"
"Oh well!"
After saying that, Zhou Yang directly pulled his wife into his arms, picked him up by the waist, and walked towards the kang...
