Yu Qinglong was the king of verbal sparring in K University's law department. After graduating with excellent grades, he looked forward to dedicating himself to the legal field. However, a fare...
Chapter 110 Jinjiang First Release Chapter 110 This Mr. Fang...
When Hong Huan arrived, Yuan Sihan was still asleep. Needles were stuck in his head and hands, and he looked like he was asleep.
Hong Huan immediately asked Yu Qinglong, "Brother Long, what happened to Han'er?"
Yu Qinglong said, "Let my master talk to Brother Hong."
Doctor Mo stroked his beard and said, "Sir, your husband is pregnant."
Hong Huan seemed to have missed something, his eyes blank. After a moment, he asked, "What did you just say?"
Doctor Mo said, "This young man has been pregnant for over a month. However, he's been worried and emotionally troubled. He suddenly found out he was pregnant, and he was so excited that his qi and blood flowed poorly, causing him to faint."
Hong Huan asked nervously, "You said he, he said she's pregnant. Are you sure?"
Doctor Mo said, "I've been practicing medicine in this area for decades. To be frank, I've diagnosed at least eight out of ten pregnancies. If you can't even diagnose something like this, then you don't have any business practicing medicine."
Hong Huan said, "Please forgive my rudeness. My husband and I have been married for many years and have sought help from famous doctors, but we haven't had any children. I just couldn't believe it... So what should I pay attention to in the future? I know my wife is emotionally troubled, and it's probably because of this infertility, coupled with the constant pressure from the elders in the family, which makes her feel very difficult."
In fact, before returning home this time, his brother Han was doing quite well. Although he still had some unresolved worries, he was generally happier and more energetic than before. But ever since they were on the way home, his husband had been unhappy.
He knew that his Han'er didn't want to go back to that home.
Doctor Mo said, "This child is hard to come by. For example, he should not lift heavy objects and should get enough rest. I think the young master knows these things even without me saying them. But for this young man, these are secondary. What's more important is not to let him feel anxious."
"Fearful?"
"Exactly. He's anxious and easily frightened, which has a huge impact on the fetus. If you really want to ensure the safety of this baby, you must make thorough preparations and at least give this young man a place where he feels safe. Otherwise..."
"How else?"
"Otherwise..." Doctor Mo sighed as he saw Yu Qinglong nodding vigorously behind Hong Huan. "Otherwise, not only will the pregnancy be dangerous, but even this young man himself will be seriously injured and will have difficulty recovering. My dear young master, you should know that if you don't cherish the good fortune you have obtained, it will be difficult to obtain it again. So, in my opinion, it is best for you to take good care of this young man until he can safely give birth to the child."
Hong Huan said, "Okay, I'll find a way. Thank you so much for taking care of my wife today. I will come to thank you in person someday."
Doctor Mo stroked his beard and said, "Sir, you are welcome. Since you are a good friend of Long Ge'er, it is only natural for me to do my best."
After saying this, he removed the needles one by one.
Yuan Sihan woke up not long after. He didn't realize where he was until he saw Yu Qinglong, Hong Huan, and Doctor Mo.
He was about to get up, but Hong Huan held him down: "Don't worry, lie down and rest for a while."
This was Li Zheng's home. Hong Huan also knew Li Zheng and Hu Bo, and he knew that his husband had a good relationship with the two brothers in this family, so he was not polite.
Yu Qinglong said, "Then you guys chat, I'll take Master back first."
Li Zheng asked, "Brother Yuan, are you thirsty? I'll go get you some tea."
Yuan Sihan said, "Sorry to bother you, Brother Zheng."
Li Zheng said it was no trouble and left.
The curtain fell, leaving only Hong Huan and Yuan Sihan in the room.
Yuan Sihan smiled at Hong Huan, but her eyes turned red. Seeing this, Hong Huan sat down on the kang, smoothed his lover's hair, gently wiped away his tears, and said gently, "You should be happy, why are you crying?"
Yuan Sihan said: "I'm crying because I'm happy."
Hong Huan lifted the child up and held him in his arms: "Be careful, the child might be a crybaby when he's born. How are you going to raise him by yourself then?"
"Only me?"
"Yes. I'm thinking that we shouldn't go home until you're due. Let's stay in Qixia Town. If I need to go somewhere else, I'll take you with me. Or if it's really inconvenient, I can entrust you to Long Ge'er's care for a while. Is that okay?"
"That's fine, but my parents won't allow it."
"I'll figure out a way to do that. Now you just need to focus on taking care of yourself and the baby. I'll take care of everything else."
"Yeah." Yuan Sihan nodded, with joy in his eyes. "I really have to thank Long Ge'er this time. If it weren't for him, I don't think I would have such a blessing in my life."
"You're right, this couple is our lucky star. Don't worry, Han'er, your husband will not treat them unfairly. This time, you really have to thank them for planning for you."
Otherwise, how could he come to such a rural place and live for so long?
Judging from the time, the child was most likely born when he lived in the Fang family's wing room.
Hong Huan was also happy at the thought, and he touched his forehead with his husband. "Don't worry too much from now on. Long Ge'er's master said you should be happier."
Yuan Sihan said, "I'm happy as long as I'm with Long Ge'er and the others."
Hong Huan also felt that Fang Shu and his wife were incredibly approachable. Xiaxi Village truly felt like a place of ease. Sometimes, not only did he not want to go back, but he himself sometimes didn't want to go back. Even playing chess with Fang Shu was better than being depressed at home.
He was indeed the eldest son of the Hong family, but his grandparents had raised him from a young age. When his father was young, he was an official in another province, and his mother followed him, without him. This resulted in him never being able to get close to his parents, and they were always too involved in his family affairs, which made him very tired. However, seeing this, the two elders became even more determined to control him.
This is by no means a long-term solution.
Hong Huan felt he needed to have another chat with Fang Shu. This man looked unambitious, but in reality, he was always aware of the key points.
That night, neither Hong Huan nor Yuan Sihan went home, and Qin Yushuang also stayed at Li Zheng's house again.
By now, the villagers were completely familiar with them, especially the Fang and Yu families. Fang Dingman and Fang Wu had previously worried about their hospitality failing to meet expectations. Fang Wu would spend ages preparing a meal, fearing the guests wouldn't enjoy it. He was a high-ranking official, after all! Even the county magistrate was said to be courteous, so how could someone like him decide the fate of their entire village with just a few words?
But after getting along with each other for a while, Fang Dingman and Fang Wushi both discovered that, hey! They both have two nostrils and two eyes, so they have to eat when they are hungry and sleep when they are tired.
Moreover, the couple were extremely kind, and they gradually got used to it.
Fang Wu said to Yuan Sihan, "Han'er, just stay here. You can stay as long as you want. You're Long'er's good friend, so you're family too. Just tell me what you want to eat."
Yuan Sihan smiled and nodded, feeling relieved. "Thank you, Auntie. Like Long Ge'er, I love eating the steamed buns you make."
It’s strange that there are all kinds of delicacies at home, but he thinks they are not as delicious as the half plate of pickles here.
Here, whether it is people or things, there is love everywhere. Even a puppy and duckling make him feel warm.
After breakfast, Yu Qinglong sat in the yard to train the dog while his two babies were sleeping.
He bought this dog because he really likes small animals and because he thought it would be great to help watch the house. Whether it is guarding the house or looking after children, dogs can do a good job.
In his previous life, he had witnessed with his own eyes a stranger pushing a child's stroller. The family's dog barked at the stranger desperately, and the parents only noticed it immediately.
The names Yu Qinglong gave to the five dogs are also very easy to remember: Mantou, Huajuan, Doubao, Jiaozi, and Juanbing.
He held a homemade dog food in his hand. It was made from chopped pork scraps, some soybean flour, wheat bran, and some steamed and sun-dried vegetable leaves. He usually fed his dog whatever was left over at home; this dog food was considered a snack.
All the dogs love to eat it, and Yu Qinglong always uses it as a reward.
He held a bag of dog food beans in his hand and said, "Come on, squat down. I'll give food to whoever squats best."
The two dogs quickly squatted down, and Yu Qinglong rewarded them. These two were steamed buns and flower rolls, which happened to be "without stuffing".
Yu Qinglong gave each of them a bean, and the other three dogs looked at it eagerly. Yu Qinglong smoothed their fur and said, "Let's do it again. Let's see who gets the bean this time."
Yuan Sihan said: "They are the smartest dogs I have ever met."
When he returned, the puppies had only learned to pee in a specific spot in the garden. Now, they can do more complex things, like picking up things that have been thrown away, saying goodbye, squatting, and standing up. While they're still a little immature at times, it doesn't seem like they'll be able to do that for long.
Yu Qinglong said, "Actually, most dogs are very smart. You just need to teach them carefully. Isn't that right, Huajuan? You're so good. Here, I'll give you another one."
After finishing the steamed bun, he clasped his paws together and bowed to Yu Qinglong.
Yu Qinglong petted it and continued to play with the furry children for a while. Fang Shu came out of the house at this time: "Long'er, Brother Liwei and I are going to the fields to check on the potatoes. I want to take Mantou and the others out with me."
"Take them all out?"
"Well, it would be good to help them get familiar with our fields."
"What do you want them to do with the fields?" Yu Qinglong said with a smile, "Do you want them to help you dig potatoes in the fall?"
"Maybe they can really learn it. Yangyang and Xiao Shitou are still sleeping. I just changed their diapers. When you change them again, leave them in the diaper basket and I'll come back to wash them."
"It will be rotten by the time you get back. I'll wash it. Go ahead."
"Okay. Steamed buns, flower rolls, bean curd, dumplings, and rolls. Let's go."
Yu Qinglong asked Fang Shu to take their dog food with him so that he would come back when the time comes.
Fang Shu took it.
At the beginning of spring, Yu Qinglong had all the potato seeds he'd bought planted. One hundred kilograms went to his own garden and those of relatives and friends. Another nine hundred kilograms went to fields outside. This year, the Fang family planted fewer soybeans than usual. Nine hundred kilograms of potatoes were planted on three mu of land, both flat and hilly.
Today Fang Shu wanted to see how big the difference was between the two, and also how big the difference was between the ones that had been fertilized and the ones that hadn't.
Hong Huan saw Fang Shu carrying a school bag with a pen holder and a pad, followed by a group of dogs. He asked in confusion, "Don't you find it troublesome to take them so far?"
It can't be that the purpose is to teach the dog how to dig for potatoes. Even if you want to teach it, don't you have to wait until there are potatoes?
Fang Shu said, "Brother Liwei, you don't know. My wife is smart in every way, but she has one flaw: she doesn't know the way. I'll teach Mantou and the others how to find their way home. That way, when I'm not home in the fall, Longge'er can take one or two with him, and I won't have to worry about him getting lost."
Hong Huan: “…”
Fang Shu sighed, "Long Ge'er and I have never been apart since we got married. Now, the thought of being apart for over a month makes me unable to sleep peacefully at night."
Hong Huan truly felt Fang Shu's reluctance to let go, because this guy said these words without any shyness at all and spoke so sincerely.
This sincerity made him think more sincerely.
"By then, Yangyang and Xiao Shitou will have been serving their first 100 days, right? I wonder if it's feasible to take them to the provincial capital. If so, I have a house there, so food and lodging won't be a problem. If they're bothered by the bumpy ride, they can just take a boat when they get to Huaitong."
"Thank you, Brother Liwei. But I can't live without these potatoes. Long Ge'er said this is the first year, and he needs to see how the harvest goes so he can get a good idea of what's going on. No one here has ever grown these before, and Long Ge'er is worried that if something unmanageable comes up, all the hard work of the past six months will have been for nothing."
"How difficult is that? The accident you're talking about is nothing more than a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. But I see you have a good reputation in the local area, so I don't think anyone would dare to destroy these potatoes. If it's a natural disaster, then it's just a matter of rushing to harvest, which anyone can do. As for recording the growth of the potatoes, I can find a few literate people to record it."
"This..." Fang Shu said, "Wouldn't that trouble Brother Liwei to send someone to guard here for a long time?"
"Why not? The original intention was to find out whether potatoes could increase the people's food supply."
Fang Shu was quite moved when he heard this: "Then I'll discuss it with Long Ge'er after I get back."
Hong Huan said yes.
Arriving at the spot, Fang Shu saw vast fields of potatoes. He pulled a coiled object from his backpack.
Hong Huan immediately asked, "What is this?"
Fang Shu said, "Oh, this is a cloth ruler made by Long Ge'er. Bamboo and wooden rulers are usually short, and if they are too long, they are not easy to carry. So Long Ge'er came up with this. This thing is light, can be rolled up, and can be made longer, so it is very useful."
Hong Huan took it and looked at it, and found that the scale on it was embroidered.
It's clearly just a few strips of coarse cloth sewn together, perhaps even scraps. Yet, it looks so much more refined. The markings are clear and easy to read, truly a testament to its ingenuity.
Fang Shu said, "It's a pity that my Long'er is a boy, otherwise he would have achieved something even greater."
Hong Huan said, "Even if he is a boy, he has the potential to achieve great things. If you two are interested in serving the court, I will do my utmost to recommend you."
Fang Shu said, "You don't have to be an official to serve. Besides, if Long'er and I really do enter the officialdom, you won't be able to find us if you want to stay in the countryside again."
Hong Huan thought about it and realized that if he really got involved in official affairs, how could he be so free?
Everyone has their own aspirations, so let’s not talk about them!
At this time, Fang Shu took a ruler to measure the potatoes and recorded the number of days for planting. He divided the work with Hong Huan, Fang Shu measured and Hong Huan recorded.
This way it's faster. After measuring the potatoes at the bottom of the mountain, measure the ones on the hillside.
A new batch of growth information was added to the record page. Fang Shu even pulled up a few trees to see if they had any fruit. He found that they did have fruit, many on a single plant! Although each one was very small, it gave him an idea of what they would look like in the future.
Fang Shu felt relieved. Unexpectedly, as he stood up, he saw the other dogs also imitating him in digging. One of them even snatched away the largest potato fruit he had placed on the ground to bring back to Yu Qinglong!
"Burrito, come back here!"
Fang Shu ran as fast as he could, carrying his schoolbag and a long cloth ruler in his hand. As he ran, the cloth flew everywhere, and he accidentally stepped on it, stumbled, and fell directly into the potato field.
Hong Huan: “…………”
Suddenly, I didn't want to discuss with Fang Shu how to arrange Yuan Sihan's affairs anymore. I always felt that I couldn't rely on him. I had to go back to find Yu Qinglong.
