Chapter 19 Pregnancy

After eating just two bites, Ye Li put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up, ran to turn on the computer, found the projector she had taken out from the cabinet, projected the cartoon on the computer onto a white wall in the room, turned off the main light, and turned on a small light.

The cartoon was projected onto the white wall. It was the classic cartoon "Tom and Jerry", which was Ye Li's favorite cartoon.

She sat down again, eating with her bowl in her hand while watching cartoons.

After a few episodes of cartoons were over, Ye Li had almost finished her meal. She turned off the cartoons, got up and went to the balcony to get some fresh air. Looking at the dark city outside, suddenly, the sadness in her heart disappeared without a trace. For the first time, she felt that such a day was very comfortable.

Ye Li stood on the edge of the observation deck and stretched lazily. The autumn evening breeze blowing on his body was particularly comfortable.

"Oh right!" Ye Li seemed to remember something and hurried into the house. She took out the necklace Wang Dahu had given her from her backpack. Under the light, the sign on the chain was clearly engraved with the following words:

Wang Dahu

2250-05-17

Ye Li's eyes felt a little sore. She tried to smile, walked to the balcony, and hung Wang Dahu's ID card on a nail under the balcony eaves. "Uncle, from now on, you will be here with me, watching the sun rise and set, and the seasons change. I will never forget you."

The ID card on the thin chain swayed gently in the air as the wind blew.

…

On the second day, Ye Li sorted and classified the things he had found yesterday.

She specially cleared out a closet to store baby supplies.

Various medicines taken from the private hospital were also classified and placed in the drawer of the coffee table.

As for the large unopened bags of salt, Ye Li tore open the bags, boiled them again, evaporated the water, processed them into new salt, and put them into jars in her kitchen, ready to use them for cooking. She filled three large jars, which was enough to last for several years. If it was all gone, she could look for it in other restaurants in the building.

After doing all this, Ye Li released the three chickens and fed them. Then, she sat on the stool on the balcony observation deck, holding the parenting book she had found yesterday, and flipped through the pages, memorizing the things that pregnant women needed to pay attention to, so that when her belly got bigger, she would not know anything, which would be a dead end.

When you are pregnant, the first thing you need to address is nutritional supplements in your diet.

Ye Li’s current food reserves only consist of vegetables, and he even has to eat rice sparingly.

Ye Li looked at her three chickens. They were still young and it would take a while for them to lay eggs.

"It would be nice to have some milk to drink! It would provide a lot of nutrition."

Drinking milk? How is that possible? This is the end of the world, and we are in the city. If it were in the countryside, maybe we could catch a wild cow in the woods, but this is a city, there is no chance.

But it’s okay. After the soybeans she planted grow, she can drink soy milk to supplement her nutrition.

In short, I will never treat myself and my baby unfairly.

Ye Li took advantage of her belly to do a lot of things before it got too big. She fixed the things that needed fixing and also took the opportunity to go downstairs again to search for a lot of baby stuff.

Time passed as she was busy. Two months later, Ye Li's belly gradually became bigger.

At this time, the crops in the fields have also begun to be harvested.

Ye Li stepped on a stool and flipped over to the field. He bent down and pulled out a peanut seedling, along with the peanuts and mud. The dusty peanuts were all firm and plump, and were growing very well.

"Fortunately, my father always forced me to go to the fields, otherwise I would have no idea where to start farming!" Ye Li threw the pulled peanuts aside, turned around, took a small stool, sat down on the ground, and then began to pull peanuts.

There was no other way. These crops could be harvested, and she had to work even though she was pregnant. Otherwise, if it rained in a few days, the crops would rot in the fields.
