After the Lantern Festival, students went back to school one after another.

The town's junior high school opened on the 19th day of the first lunar month, so Guo Jianjun and Guo Yu could stay home for a few days. They were responsible for everything except cooking, washing, and collecting firewood.

Liang Xueying and Deng Qingling sat by the brazier, chatting, doing needlework, and eating snacks. After one Spring Festival, the whole family gained a lot of weight.

Deng Qingling's needlework is very average, she can only do simple mending, there is no way she can make clothes.

In comparison, the clothes made by Liang Xueying were very good, with dense and neat stitches, and she also had two pairs of small shoes, the craftsmanship looked like they were made by a sewing machine.

Together, they made clothes for their unborn children, from birth to two years old.

"No need to make diapers. I have plenty of them here. They are diapers and changing mats for the three siblings. You can make them when they are not enough." Liang Xueying said and went back to her room.

When he walked out to the main room, he was holding a pile of cloth in his hands, including gray, white, black, yellow, and colorful ones.

Liang Xueying spread out the cloths, and said with pride, "These are the ones they used when they were little, diapers, changing mats, slings, small quilts. I have preserved them well, and they can still be used now."

Deng Qingling thought these things were of really good quality and could still be used after all these years. Some of them were even quite new. It was estimated that even though the factory had closed down, the clothes were still intact.

"When the weather gets better, just take it out, wash it, and dry it in the sun. Then seal it tightly and use it directly." Liang Xueying folded the things again and took them back to the room.

…

The corn and rice in the space have been harvested two or three times. Deng Qingling uses a machine to shell them and will sell them when she has time.

After several months of breeding, there are now more than 300 chickens and ducks in the space.

Every household bought a lot of New Year's goods during the Spring Festival, so there is no shortage of food during this period. If they are sold now, the price will not be too high, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to sell them.

Let's make plans later.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of spring. Deng Qingling thought that spring plowing was about to begin. It was hard work, so she decided to go to the town. She could then take out some food from the space to nourish her parents-in-law.

That day, Deng Qingling took a bullock cart to the town, took a walk around the supply and marketing cooperative, and came out without buying anything. He found a deserted place and smuggled some things out of the space.

Don’t go to the black market when you are pregnant. A big belly can be seen at a glance. The risk is too high and it is easy to get into trouble.

I took a piece of pork weighing about one pound and a pound of red dates, walked for a few minutes to the state-owned restaurant, found the eldest brother who was a chef in the restaurant, gave him the food and asked him to take it home.

The eldest brother of the Deng family said that they had everything at home and there was no need to give her anything. He asked her to take it back to replenish her body and returned the thing to her at the same time.

Deng Qingling ignored his brother's refusal, put down the things and left. When he reacted, Deng Qingling walked out of the restaurant. It was almost lunch time and the restaurant was busy. He couldn't leave, so he didn't chase her out.

Before going home, Deng Qingling entered the space first, took out a piece of pork weighing about one kilogram, two kilograms of sausage, and a bag of red dates.

…

beginning of spring

A year's plan begins in spring.

Spring is the season for farming. Every production team has started busy spring plowing. They want to work in the fields all day long. After farming, they compare which production team does the fastest and best.

Deng Qingling has rarely gone to work since she became pregnant, and only occasionally goes to collect grass for pigs.

Since the morning sickness, Deng Qingling's appetite has increased greatly. She doesn't do much daily work, so she has gained a lot of weight and her belly has become bigger day by day.

Deng Qingling thought that this was the wild vegetable season and there were many wild vegetables, so she took a backpack and a small shovel and went around looking around.

In spring, it is time to eat wild vegetables such as bracken and toon.

Walking to the other side of the mountain, you can see greenery everywhere, with many colorful flowers in between, and many trees are covered with flowers.

Pink, yellow, white, red, all kinds of flowers are like a beautiful garden, with many butterflies and bees flying around, busy collecting nectar, and birds singing about spring.
