Chapter 235 Pregnant

When Lingzhou came, he brought two pieces of tofu, several thousand sheets, and two pounds of bean sprouts. He handed them to Lingsu and asked her to put them away. As he walked to the classroom, he asked Fusu: "The old man asked me, what are those plans?" What to plant? If so, it must be plowed and planted as soon as possible."

Fusu responded: "Let the old man worry about it. Last night, my sisters and I discussed it. In addition to leaving some for the third sister to grow medicinal materials and flowers, half of it will be planted with winter wheat and the other half with green manure. Xiaowu has to take a look at the raised crops. How big is the difference in yield between the land and the uncultivated land. After I finish my class today, I will go to the village to find someone to help."

"Just make up your mind, I will go with you later."

When he arrived at the small classroom, Li Chu and Qixun had already laid out pens, inks, paper and inkstones for several people, and were sitting there talking. Lingyu and Little White Tiger were staring, not knowing what they were doing.

When the two brothers entered the room, Qixun and others stood up and saluted Lingzhou. When Lingsu arrives, Lingzhou starts teaching.

Lingzhou spoke for half an hour, and then Qixun began to teach, while Lingsu taught the apprentices who had just come from the medicine shed behind the courtyard.

After class, Li Chu went to complete the homework left for him. Lingyu took the little white tiger to the fields, planning the fields according to yesterday's discussion.

Qixun sent his eldest brother and Lingzhou brother out to find part-time workers in the village. After returning, he went to the workshop to make a large cotton bow.

While she was busy here, she heard someone coming in from outside and calling the third sister: "Su'er, are you at home?"

The third sister was at the medicine shed. Qixun dropped what he was doing and went out to see the grandmother of the Zuo family and her daughter-in-law.

Qixun hurriedly greeted: "Grandma, Aunt Lu, why are you here? Come in and talk quickly, but is there something wrong?"

Grandma Zuo was in a very good mood: "Ask Su'er to check your Aunt Lu's pulse. Is Su'er busy?"

"It's in the medicine shed. Is Aunt Lu feeling uncomfortable? Sit down and I'll call Third Sister."

Fearing that Aunt Lu was really uncomfortable, Qixun didn't bother to make tea for the two of them and hurried to the backyard.

After finding Lingsu and telling him what had happened, Lingsu left the dozen or so apprentices and came to the front yard.

When he saw that neither Granny nor Aunt Lu looked worried, but rather a little excited and expectant, he knew something in his mind and asked Qixun to serve tea and snacks to the two tea makers while he stepped forward with a smile and said hello.

The grandmother of the Zuo family smiled and said: "I shouldn't have come to your little girl's house, but your Uncle Lu is busy and really can't spare the time to send your Aunt Lu to the town to find a doctor, so I have no choice but to bring your Aunt Lu over and invite you." Please help me see if she is pregnant."

Lingsu smiled and said: "We doctors don't pay attention to this, how can we not see anything?"

As he spoke, he took Aunt Lu's hand and took her pulse. After a while, Lingsu had an idea in her mind and used her other hand to take her pulse, with a smile on her face: "Congratulations, grandma. I’m with my aunt, she’s pregnant, she’s almost three months old.”

Mrs. Zuo's mother-in-law's face suddenly blossomed with joy: "This is great. She hasn't been feeling well these past few days. I can see that she is pregnant. Thank God."

Aunt Lu blushed a little and looked embarrassed, but her eyes were also full of joy: "Sorry to trouble Su'er."

Lingsu smiled and said: "There's no need to worry about helping me. Your fetal condition is very good, don't worry, just pay attention these days, don't be too tired, and don't do heavy things."

Grandma Zuo asked hurriedly: "Is there anything else I should pay attention to? Do you want to prescribe some anti-fetal medicine?"

"Auntie is in good health and doesn't need to take medicine. Just eat something good on weekdays, but don't eat too much meat. It should be lighter. Eggs, tofu, beans, and soy milk are good. You can also eat some lean meat."

As for vegetables and fruits, you don’t need to tell me about this. Most of the farm food is vegetables. As for fruits, it’s useless to mention them. Basically, unless you have something for your own use, you won’t buy it from outside, and you won’t be willing to part with the money.

The Zuo family now has Uncle Lu, a master craftsman in the paper mill, whose income is not low. The paper he made before was sold for a lot of money, and he is not short of money to support his daughter-in-law's baby.

Lingsu thought for a while and said with a smile: "My grapes happened to be ripe. It's just right for my aunt to eat now. How much can we brothers and sisters eat in a shed? I will pick some and you and your aunt will take it back."

When Qixun arrived with tea and snacks, he heard that Aunt Lu was pregnant with the baby. He was very happy for her and Uncle Lu. After saying a few words of congratulations, he said, "Auntie will give birth to a younger brother who looks like Uncle Lu and has a temperament like Uncle Lu's." Yeah, if you have another sister who looks and behaves just like your aunt, you will have both a son and a daughter. Grandma, you and grandpa can enjoy the blessings."

Grandma Zuo's family smiled cheerfully: "Thanks to you, your grandpa and I are living a happy life now."

From time to time, Lingsu picked a few grapes, and brought a lot of dried cherry tomatoes, red dates, and kiwis, as well as a few kilograms of nuts of various colors: "Take these home, and come back to get them after you finish eating." It’s our own stuff, not bought from outside, so you and we are welcome.”

The grandma of the Zuo family was originally embarrassed to ask for other people's things, but it was only about whether her grandson could be born safely. Now she couldn't care less about being polite. After thanking her repeatedly, she still accepted the things shamelessly.

The two sisters sent the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law out.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went home, Aunt Lu said: "The little girl from the Yan family has a good-tempered appearance and is very pleasing to the eye. If I have a daughter in the future, I will wake up laughing in my dreams whenever I have a daughter." "

Grandma Zuo said with a smile: "Isn't that right? They are all good children, sensible and capable. My father has gone to the capital to be a high official now, but the children are not arrogant at all. I have watched them grow up, and they are not arrogant at all." Good thing. This time I really got a favor from you. You can also raise your baby with peace of mind and give us a good grandson."

Aunt Lu smiled and said: "Mom, don't worry, I will pay attention. Mom, Xiaoxun and Su'er gave us these things, otherwise, if I can't do anything else, my needlework is pretty passable, and I can do it for each of the children." Can you give me a pair of shoes? I see that they are always running out on weekdays, which is quite a waste of shoes. The shoes on Xiaoxun’s feet are almost worn out. "

Grandma Zuo nodded: "Okay, Lingyu just happened to be planting cotton and gave me some seeds. Didn't our family also harvest twenty or thirty kilograms of cotton? Now that the weather is getting colder, we use cotton to make them. Cotton shoes, and the remaining cotton will be used for my grandson to make small quilts and mattresses."

Cotton shoes don’t use much cotton, and a child’s quilt can only cost three to five kilograms of cotton at most. Aunt Lu said hurriedly: “The boss said that these cottons will be used to make new quilts for you and dad. Keep them. It’s for this winter.”

Grandma Zuo waved her hand: "What should we do with such a good thing? You can just keep it for use."

Aunt Lu smiled and said: "We will plant them next year. We got two new quilts when we got married, which are enough. If we really want to buy more, we can wait until next year's cotton comes down."
