Feeling her gaze, Dabao walked in from outside, holding a bamboo basket full of fruits in his hand.

"Mom, we picked a lot of fruits today, and Uncle Ren asked me to bring back some more."

As he spoke, he walked up to Yin Xiaoman with the basket and squatted beside her.

Take out the fruits in the basket one by one and show them to her.

When Cui Yan said those words just now, she didn't even notice Dabao standing at the door. Although what she said was what was in her heart, it was still a bit embarrassing for the child to hear it.

"Well, I'll go pick another winter melon and we'll make winter melon soup for lunch!"

She hurriedly found an excuse, looked at Yin Xiaoman apologetically, then took the basket and walked out of the yard and headed towards the vegetable garden.

After she walked away, Yin Xiaoman reached out and touched the top of her son's head: "Did you hear what Auntie said?"

Dabao stiffened for a moment, then nodded.

Yin Xiaoman sighed: "Baoer..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Dabao suddenly turned around, hugged her legs with his arms, and put his face on her knees.

Over the years, his son had never taken the initiative to be so intimate with him. This sudden intimacy surprised Yin Xiaoman.

He swallowed back all the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"Mom, I'm so happy." Dabao said suddenly.

Yin Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, reached out and stroked her son's hair, but did not respond. She just listened quietly to Dabao continue talking.

"Mom, I'm not lying. Uncle Ren in the kitchen just told me that you're pregnant and will have a baby soon. I'm so, so happy. You and Dad are finally going to have your own child!"

Dabao said this and raised his face. His eyes were a little red, but his look was sincere and pure.

After saying that, he wiped his eyes embarrassedly: "Aunt Cui is right, you don't have to worry about Erniu. She is young and naive, don't think too much about her. Don't worry, mother, I am here, Erniu won't make a fuss, I promise I won't let her hurt the baby."

Dabao's words made Yin Xiaoman feel sad.

It is worrying when children are immature, but it is sad when children are too sensible.

"Don't talk about your sister like that. Erniu is still young. Besides, she didn't say she was unhappy. I think she is very happy." Yin Xiaoman stroked Dabao's face and said gently.

"Well, we are all happy."

Dabao said, putting his face back on Yin Xiaoman's legs, pressing his eyes on her knees, and whispered: "We will treat our brothers and sisters well, just like mother and father treat us well."

His voice was low, but his tone was firm.

Although Yin Xiaoman was very moved by Dabao's words, she did not take them to heart. After all, he is just an eight-year-old child. Can she really expect a kid this young to help her?

But what she didn't expect was that since the promise that day, Dabao seemed to have grown up a lot overnight.

No one knew what he, Da Mi, and the other boys had discussed, but from then on, every noon, no matter how far they ran, Da Mi would come back on time to help Cui Yan deliver meals.

She refused more than once and scolded the children, asking them to stop making trouble. But this time, the bald boys were determined not to let her lift heavy objects again.

No matter how much they quarrel, Rice will come back at the appointed time, no matter what.

Later, Cui Yan told her not to worry about it.

The little ones are having a meeting. Now the team is led by Dabao and Qiangzi. They will supervise the safety of the other children, allowing Dami to concentrate on returning to deliver meals.

When Cui Yan talked about it, she also sighed.

I never thought that these kids, although they look quiet, have consciences and are capable of doing great things. It's worth raising them!

Aren’t Cui Yan’s feelings the same as Yin Xiaoman’s?

Thinking about her previous worries now, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

She always felt that she had spoiled Erniu too much. She was a little bully at home. Everyone had to give in to her and coax her. She would cry if she was unhappy.

She was very worried that her child would not be able to get out of this dilemma, and felt that having a younger brother or sister would steal her parents' love.

But what she didn't expect was that her worries didn't exist at all.

Erniu has become a completely different person since she found out she was pregnant.

He is so well behaved.

She seemed to treat the child in Yin Xiaoman's belly as her own child, caring for and doting on her. She really wanted to walk with her mother, and the little girl would run over to support her, for fear that her mother would accidentally hit the baby in her belly. What would she do then?

She is like a little top now, busy at home all day long, without stopping for a minute.

I get up early in the morning and no longer need adults to call me.

I washed myself and combed my hair, then fed the chickens and ducks, and ran to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables for the morning.

You don't have to tell them anything when you pick them, they will wash them all clean for you and even cut all the fruits you know how to cut.

She was full of energy every day, and often had already cooked the porridge by the time Yin Xiaoman got up.

Looking at her like that, Yin Xiaoman would often feel dazed for a moment, as if he had seen Dabao when he first came into this world.

At that time, Dabao was busy all day long, and he wanted to take care of all the housework. He rushes to do all the work, whether it is his job or not.

This feeling made her feel very uncomfortable.

She also tried to stop it, but her stopping made Erniu very unhappy and the child very confused.

After a long time, she also realized that the little girl's motivation for doing these things was completely different from Dabao's.

Dabao was trying to please her carefully at that time, but now Erniu does it purely for her own happiness.

She’s practicing being a sister.

After understanding all this, Yin Xiaoman stopped trying to stop them and finally enjoyed the care of her children with peace of mind.

But after I finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in my stomach, my body started to cause trouble.

Yin Xiaoman finally felt what real morning sickness was.

Although she vomited a few times at the clinic before, the symptoms disappeared after she came back.

In the days that followed, apart from the fact that she couldn't stand in front of the fish being slaughtered or the shellfish being cleaned, otherwise she would feel a little disgusted, she was completely no different from a good person.

Liu Chang still had none of the symptoms she had mentioned before, and she didn't feel any discomfort when cooking. For this, Cui Yan even said with envy that she was so blessed that even the baby in her belly was so well-behaved and knew how to care for her mother at such a young age.

Yin Xiaoman felt very happy after hearing this.

But all this was broken because of a sea cucumber.

Because she suddenly learned about her pregnancy, Yin Xiaoman forgot everything else for a moment, even forgetting that Team Leader Zhou was helping her soak the sea cucumbers.

It was not until that day when squad leader Zhou personally brought a lunch box with her five soaked sea cucumbers in it that she finally remembered.

"Sister-in-law, look at how good this ginseng is! It's so fat and big. Look, this one is as long as my palm!"

Squad Leader Zhou opened the lunch box and poked the object that was still soaked in water with his hand.

His face was filled with excitement, and he looked at the sea cucumber with eyes full of love, as if he was looking at some treasure.

But Yin Xiaoman was so frightened by his action that she almost took several steps back. In other words, she had amazing self-control, and when she was about to step back subconsciously, she stopped herself.

She took one look at the pitch-black, soft bug in the lunch box, and her heart began to surge with anxiety. I just feel that I have never seen anything uglier than this in my life!

It's just that she was the one who asked others for help in the first place, and they worked very hard, even coming up with the idea of ​​using sea water to soak it, before they finally succeeded for her. Now she couldn't show her displeasure.

Yin Xiaoman forced a smile and pretended to take a look with interest, saying to squad leader Zhou: "Hey, it looks really good, thank you!"

Hearing her say this, squad leader Zhou was even happier. He even grabbed one out of the bunch and held it in front of Yin Xiaoman, showing off proudly: "I knew this ginseng was good the first time I saw it. Sister-in-law, touch it and look at its elasticity. It's all top-notch!

Let me tell you, if this were used to cook a dish, it would definitely taste delicious. Not to mention stir-fried green onions or braised dishes, even if you just chop it up and serve it cold, it will definitely taste great. ”

When that thing was placed in the lunch box before, Yin Xiaoman could still tolerate it. As a result, when Team Leader Zhou took it out, the black insect seemed to come alive, swaying in front of her eyes and emitting bursts of the unique fishy smell of seafood.

She was already enduring it with some difficulty.

Then I heard him say something else, so I just chopped it up and mixed it with cold food—

Yin Xiaoman immediately saw a plate of chopped insects on a plate, with onions, ginger, garlic and chili oil poured on them and they were still trying to wriggle.

Suddenly, my stomach twisted and I vomited all over the floor.

From this point on, Yin Xiaoman could no longer control what happened next. She no longer cared about being polite and reserved. She didn't even have time to say a word to squad leader Zhou. She turned around and ran to the toilet at the back, then vomited violently.

I don't know how long she vomited until Cui Yan came over with a distressed look on her face and helped her out. She watched her drink a few sips of warm water before she recovered.

Looking in the yard again, there was no trace of Squad Leader Zhou.

"This Xiao Zhou is really something. He knew you were pregnant, but he still showed this thing to you!" Cui Yan was so angry that she kept complaining.

Because Shen Qingyun carried her around the entire camp, and with Liu Chang's big mouth, the news of her pregnancy could not be concealed.

In almost one day, everyone knew about it.

At the beginning, Yin Xiaoman was a little embarrassed, but now he has gotten used to it. Hearing Cui Yan say this, she just smiled and said nothing.

But just as he put down the cup of water, Yin Xiaoman saw Cui Yan walking towards the kitchen with the lunch box, and hurriedly stopped her: "Sister-in-law, give me the box, I'll take it."

You dare not put such a precious thing in the kitchen, otherwise it will become smelly after a day, right?

Cui Yan looked at her and hesitated: "Can you see?"

"I can." Yin Xiaoman gritted his teeth and nodded.

She was about to say, "Sister-in-law, please close the lid of the lunch box for me."

But before she could even open her mouth, Cui Yan had already handed the thing in front of her, and a salty smell hit her in the face.

Only then did she realize that the lid of the box was half open!
