The Lantern Festival is coming soon, and every household will make dumplings and glutinous rice balls. Xiang Nuan got some brown sugar and glutinous rice flour for Zhao Dahai, which made Zhao Dahai very happy.

It's a win-win situation for everyone. He just takes the goods and pays for them, and never asks any more questions. Xiang Nuan also likes people like him, so they can have a long-term cooperation.

As winter turned to spring, the willow trees on both sides of the road began to sprout tender buds, and Xiang Nuan also had the urge to give birth to a new life. This was mainly because Zhao Manman's husband wanted to have a child in the past few months, saying that after the child was born, they would be able to keep each other company and play together.

After considering many aspects, she decided to stop taking the medicine and prepare for pregnancy. After all, it is not so easy to get pregnant in one go.

This major move made Yan Fangming very happy. He worked very hard every time, and Xiang Nuan was tired but enjoyed it.

"How come it's been a month and there's still no news?"

One night, after the two of them finished talking, Yan Fangming stroked Xiang Nuan's belly with a depressed look on his face.

Xiang Nuan slapped him when she heard this, "Just let it happen naturally, don't do this to me. If I get depressed, you can forget about being a father."

Yan Fangming grimaced in pain and immediately admitted his mistake, "I was wrong, my wife, I was wrong. I won't say any more. I won't say any more."

After saying that, he held her hand and kissed her twice, looking at Xiang Nuan pitifully, "Wrong."

"Hmph~"

Yan Fangming gave a flattering smile and said, "Are you tired, my wife? Let me give you a massage."

Xiang Nuan pouted, "My legs are sore."

"Okay! I'll give it to you right away. I promise it will make you feel comfortable!"

As he said that, he began to massage seriously.

Seeing how hard he was working, Xiang Nuan's lips curled up unconsciously.

In the past, every time there was a letter from my family, they would urge me to give birth. But ever since Xiang Nuan wrote back saying that she was ready to have a baby, they stopped urging me and started giving me all kinds of instructions, saying that the first three months of pregnancy were very important, and that I should take care of myself, and that I should not do or eat these things, as if she was already pregnant.

…

It was already autumn when Xiang Nuan came to join the army last year, and the small vegetable garden in the yard had never been used. Now it is May, and it is time to clean up and plant some vegetables. Xiang Nuan doesn't understand much about this, but she just follows Yao Jinhua's example.

"If you plant cucumbers, loofahs, cabbages, beans, and peppers, you won't be able to eat them all. You can save a lot of money. Let me tell you how to plant them."

Yao Jinhua knew that she was a woman with no experience in this field and must know nothing about it, so she explained it in great detail.

Xiang Nuan listened eagerly and helped from the side.

"Okay, when the loofahs grow up, they can just climb along the wall. When the cucumbers sprout, we'll need to build a rack. We can ask Fang Ming to go to the south and cut some thin bamboos. When the peppers are grown, you can move them to the field."

An hour passed after all the work was done. Yao Jinhua washed her hands and gave some more instructions.

Xiang Nuan poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, "Okay, I'll remember that. Sorry for the trouble, sister-in-law. Let's eat here at noon today. I'll go cook."

"Okay, I won't be polite with you. I have some corn tortillas that I made this morning. Bring them over to heat up. You just need to cook the dishes."

She wasn't at work today, her husband was eating in the army, her kids were eating at school, and she was too lazy to cook.

"No, I have food at home, you can save it for dinner."

She has been helping out for a long time and you can't ask her to go back and get food.

Yao Jinhua laughed and said, "Okay, whatever you want to cook, I'll help you."
