Chapter 280 Pregnancy
Everyone sat down and started eating meat.
One person takes care of a small child.
Piping hot pot.
The charming aroma it exudes.
A feast for the taste buds, combining a variety of fresh ingredients in one pot.
Gu Lixia is a master at combining meat and vegetables for hot pot.
First the pork, then the various dry goods, and finally the vegetables.
Jiang Wen just followed Gu Lixia in eating.
Children are not like that. They say what they want to eat and the adults pick it up for them.
The dipping sauce is also simple, sesame oil + chili oil + soy sauce + vinegar + coriander + onion + garlic + chopped peanuts.
We didn’t clean up the pot even after we were full because the kids wanted to continue eating in the evening.
Gu Lixia saw in the morning that the pears in the yard had begun to ripen.
The pear tree is not tall, and this is the first year it has borne fruit, so there are less than 100 fruits. Gu Lixia looked around and picked only three.
Come back and wash it, then cut it in half.
The skin is thin, and it tastes delicate and refreshing, with a fresh and sweet flavor.
After eating and lying down for a while, it was time to go to work.
Gu Lixia is very satisfied with the current situation. At home, someone cooks at noon and in the evening, and the children can basically take care of themselves and make breakfast by themselves.
At work, since her boss wasn't watching her closely, she could do whatever she wanted. Gu Lixia wrote a little of her own story every day, and everyone else thought she was just copying from the newspaper.
For the rest of the office, knitting sweaters, making shoes, and sewing insoles are big jobs.
Others talked about Gu Lixia's non-participation, so Gu Lixia bought some insoles and put them aside, occasionally taking them out and giving them a couple of injections.
Mainly to protect eyesight.
Like this Monday afternoon, Gu Lixia was lazily dozing off in a chair.
Then I heard Wang Ling say that she was pregnant and was just three months pregnant.
Cui Min immediately said that she was also pregnant and was already 4 months pregnant.
Gu Lixia was stunned.
I know that people have many children at this time, but these two are pregnant.
Wouldn't that point the finger at yourself?
Sure enough, Wang Ling soon said, "Lixia, you've been married for more than a year, it's almost time. If it really doesn't work, go see a doctor."
Gu Lixia was speechless. "Sister Ling, everyone knows what happened in our family when we got married. We just finished a year of mourning. Where can we get pregnant? We can't just stuff a pillow into our stomach."
"Then you should hurry up. Have one every two years while you're still young. By our age, you'll have four or five children. More children, more blessings." Wang Ling was very happy and expressed her own opinion.
"Let it be. I'm still young and not in such a hurry." Gu Lixia didn't know what to say.
I spent the whole afternoon listening to other people talk about how difficult children are to raise when they are young, and how naughty they become when they grow up.
Gu Lixia's ears were callused from listening so much.
bother.
I regretted not bringing cucumbers to work this afternoon and wanted to snap their mouths.
Jiang Wen also heard about the two pregnant women in the Propaganda Department.
I thought to myself that it would be better for Xia Xia not to get pregnant for the time being.
Take a 2-day break at the beginning.
Gu Lixia carried it through to the end.
Now it has become Sunday and Wednesday.
The problem is that a whole week is wasted when you have your period.
Jiang Wen's resistance was in vain.
You can only follow the leader's arrangements.
There is another problem. When I enter the space at night, it is already 8 o'clock, and I have to go to bed at 10 o'clock.
Gu Lixia was in a good mood. She played one more game and felt calmer. Even Jiang Wen was affected by it.
Therefore, Jiang Wen felt wronged but had no place to appeal for justice for his slightly inconsistent nightlife.
Since Jiang Wen didn't mention it, Gu Lixia pretended not to know.
In the evening, my period came.
Soon, the second week of July arrived. Fortunately, Gu Lixia's aunt passed away quietly in 5 days.
Morning of the 11th.
After getting up, Gu Lixia heated the milk and cooked some wide noodles.
After dinner, I packed up and left the space.
Push the cart and leave.
After leaving the west city gate and entering the grove, Gu Lixia invited Jiang Wen to work in the space.
Sow what you should sow, and reap what you should reap.
Exercise Jiang Wen's physique.
Millet is ground into cake flour.
Millet is peeled and turned into millet.
When I came back, I brought 30 kilograms of cake dough to make fried cakes.
A bag of melons and a bag of watermelons.
After entering the room, Gu Lixia went to the toilet.
Jiang Wen went to sort these out.
Send Jiang Xiu to bring the tofu.
As soon as Gu Lixia came out, she heard Huaibei shouting "Jiang Huaixi".
He hurried to the east side room and when he came in, he saw that it was just a watermelon that had fallen.
It's very obvious, there's no need to ask, Huaixi picked the baby up, and then dropped him because he couldn't hold him anymore.
It's just a crack.
"It's okay. We've just cut it. Let's eat it now." Gu Lixia went out to get a mop first, and came back to make watermelon juice.
Jiang Wen has already cut the watermelon.
One bowl per person.
Gu Lixia also sat down and ate a few bites.
Make oil cakes.
Slowly add flour into boiling water and stir thoroughly to form hot water dough...
Jiang Xiu operates, Jiang Huainan studies.
Each person gets 2 vegetarian cakes.
Tofu and kelp are used to make臊子.
Cook wide noodles.
The fried cake noodle soup was drunk.
Jiang Wen cleaned the kitchen.
Gu Lixia took off the sheets and quilt covers, took a washboard, and called her sister-in-law to go to the river bend together.
After washing the pots and pans, Jiang Wen also went to the river bend.
The clothes and bed sheets were all soaked there.
Gu Lixia and Jiang Xiu were playing sandbags with the children.
Jiang Wen went to wash clothes and bed sheets and quilt covers and went back to hang them out to dry.
After playing for a while, Jiang Xiu went back to lie on the recliner and asked, "Are you still going to make canned food this year?"
"I won't make pears anymore, I'll make canned peaches. This year I'll can drunken dates in jars. I'll only make two jars for my uncles and aunts in other parts of Huainan." Gu Lixia thought for a moment.
"Can apples and grapes be canned?" Jiang Xiu asked again.
"Okay. Eat first, and then continue when you can't finish it all." Gu Lixia fully respected and understood these little things.
I also rely on the space I have. If I didn't have space, I would be more active than Jiang Xiu.
Not long after, Huaibei came back and said that someone behind the staff quarters had caught some fish.
Gu Lixia didn't open her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Jiang Xiu was sewing insoles. She stood up, put down the insoles and went to watch the fun.
This is the third fish I have caught. They are not big, but they weigh about 7 or 8 kilograms.
It’s enough for the whole family to have a snack.
Jiang Wen was also among the crowd.
Huaibei threw himself on his uncle and said, "Uncle, let's go fishing too. We can have boiled fish tomorrow if we catch some fish. Uncle, please."
After being persuaded by Huaibei, Jiang Wen also became interested.
Send the child back to get the backpack and hemp rope.
Come out and tie it up.
This time, a rope was tied around Huaibei's waist and he was tied to a tree, just enough distance from the embankment for his head to stick out.
After lying there for a while, Huaibei finally realized what was happening. "We didn't put anything in there just now, so how did we put down the backpack? How could any fish get in there?"
"Then go back and get some watermelon rinds and a piece of wire and I'll do it." Children have a lot of energy.
"I'm not going. Can you go, aunt?" Jiang Xiu went back and got the watermelon peel and wire.
He pulled the backpack up, put the watermelon rind in it, and put it down again.
Soon, the hemp rope began to shake.
Huaibei screamed.
Jiang Wen pulled up the fourth fish he caught in the family compound.
A carp.
About 6 kilograms.
Jiang Wen continued to put the backpack down and took the fish home by himself.
