When Tian Cai left, he left the whole jar of ointment behind. It wasn't that difficult to make it anyway.

When she returned, she made some anti-hair loss shampoo. Last year, she had stored too many soapberries and didn't use them up for the whole year. However, the remaining ones were not enough for this year, so Tian Cai decided to go up the mountain in a few days to pick some more and store them.

Although Aunt Du did not allow Luo Xiuyan to go up the mountain, she did not object to her coming to talk to Tian Cai. After not seeing the sun for a while, and with the whitening mask provided by Tian Cai, she looked much whiter.

Seeing the backyard of Tian Cai's house filled with mountain products drying in the sun, Luo Xiuyan was envious. "It's all my mother's fault. She won't let me go out this year. If I could go up the mountain with you, I would definitely pick a lot more."

"Your two brothers are also busy, how can they miss you as a meal? Besides, marriage is a major event in life, so of course you have to marry beautifully." Tian Cai, wearing gloves, shelled the sun-cracked chestnuts while advising her.

"Eat less, but I won't be left behind," Luo Xiuyan looked down at her hands. They had finally become more delicate, but she decided not to lend a hand. "If I eat too much, it will definitely not work. My eldest sister-in-law is fine, but my second sister-in-law will be pissed to death."

Speak of the devil and he will appear. As soon as the two of them mentioned Mrs. Luo, the couple appeared at the door of Tian Cai's house.

"Sister-in-law?"

"Xiu Yan is here too!" Luo Daqiang heard his sister's voice just outside the yard. Fortunately, this little girl did not say anything bad about his wife behind her back, otherwise he would have to deal with her when he got back.

After greeting Luo Xiuyan, Mrs. Luo was dragged in front of Tian Cai by Luo Daqiang. She stood there awkwardly, rubbing her hands on her clothes. Tian Cai could tell at a glance that she was pregnant.

Because her belly has become bulging, judging by the size, she is already four months pregnant.

Luo Daqiang has stopped taking the medicine for half a year, so his wife should have been pregnant a long time ago.

"Doctor Tian, ​​I want you to check on Hongying. She has had stomachache these past two days." Luo Daqiang was more familiar with Tian Cai, so he pulled his wife's hand and said worriedly.

"Sister-in-law, please sit here." Tian Cai pulled a stool over from the side for Mrs. Luo to sit on, took off his gloves, and put three fingers on her wrist.

"Where does it hurt? How does it hurt?"

Mrs. Luo placed her hand on her lower abdomen and said, "It hurts here, as if it's weighed down."

Tian Cai looked at the painful spot she mentioned and asked, "Are you seeing any bleeding?"

"No." Mrs. Luo shook her head. This was also her first reaction when she had stomach pain before, but she checked carefully and there was no bleeding.

"Does your stomach hurt all the time or only occasionally?"

“It hurts sometimes.”

Tian Cai let go of her hand, basically certain, but she still wanted to ask, "Think carefully, does your stomachache appear after you finish working? The pain goes away when you stop working or rest for a while."

Mrs. Luo carefully recalled the scenes of her recent stomachaches, and it seemed to be true. "Yes, yes, yes, every time, the stomachache starts after I finish working."

Tian Cai smiled at her reassuringly, "Don't worry, this is just physiological uterine contraction. Don't do heavy work, get more rest, and then observe for a while."

The couple finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay."

Mrs. Luo nudged Luo Daqiang quietly with her arm and said, "I told you it's okay, it's okay, why did you have to trouble Doctor Tian?"

Luo Daqiang smiled innocently but said nothing. Next time if his wife felt unwell, he would take her to see a doctor.

His wife's menstrual period had been irregular before, and she hadn't had her period for a long time, so he wondered if she was pregnant. But Tian Cai happened to go to the commune to study at that time, so they had to go to the health center for a check-up. When they confirmed that she was pregnant, the couple were so happy that they almost went crazy.

But as a country girl, you still have to work as usual even when you are pregnant. If it is heavy physical work, your in-laws who feel sorry for their daughter-in-law will definitely not let her do it. Even if you don't work, you will not be idle.

After the people left, she put on her gloves and started working again. She glanced at Luo Xiuyan, who had been silent since a while ago, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Xiuyan said with a sullen look, "Nothing, I just feel that my sister-in-law is tired because of me."

Tian Cai gave her a puzzled look.

Luo Xiuyan lowered her head and continued, "If my sister-in-law was pregnant in the past, she would not have to work during the autumn harvest and would have just stayed at home to cook and clean the yard. But this year, my mother assigned all these tasks to me and asked her to go to the fields to work.

My mother said she had tried her best to pick out some easy things for her, and she just squatted in the field to bundle wheat or break corn, but she still got tired.

Tian Cai didn't say anything. She didn't want to judge whether Aunt Du was right or wrong in front of Luo Xiuyan. Perhaps parents always have two different attitudes towards their daughters and daughters-in-law, but a daughter can also become someone else's daughter-in-law.

So that's why her sisters in her previous life were all clamoring to find someone who "has a car, a house, and whose parents are both dead." Well, these conditions can indeed prevent a lot of trouble.

Moreover, most sons now live with their parents after getting married. Thinking about it this way, it seems that Qinling has a natural advantage in this regard?

Tian Cai was thinking about how to change the subject when he suddenly remembered the unfamiliar educated youth he had seen that day. "Are there any activities going on there these days?"

Luo Xiuyan's attention was diverted by Tian Cai's interruption. "I heard Liu Yanqing say the other day that they're going to hold a party in a few days. Originally, they wanted all the educated youth from the commune to come together, but then they said they didn't have a venue. So they decided to just have one brigade hold one this year and see if they can find a venue next year for all the educated youth from the commune to attend."

"One per brigade?" Tian Cai was immediately interested when he heard it. "Doesn't that mean Qingshan Village will also be involved? Where will it be held then? Can we go and see it?"

"It should be possible. Liu Yanqing said that they haven't decided where to hold it. They have investigated both places and seem to prefer holding it in the Youth League Home in our village. I wonder if they can show it to us. You said that if we can see it, why not just hold it in the threshing ground? There's a lot of space there." Luo Xiuyan couldn't help but her eyes lit up at the thought of seeing singing and dancing.

Tian Cai hit her, "It's impossible to do that in the threshing ground. Don't forget that there is grain drying in the threshing ground!"

The educated youth were having a get-together in Kaoshan Village. Wouldn't those two people be there? Tian Cai still remembered their voices. This time, she could go to the get-together and recognize them.
