The cabbages in the yard have already curled up, so you can pick them and eat them now. Otherwise, if you wait a while, it will be too late to eat them.

Lin Tao picked a Chinese cabbage, peeled off the outer layer of leaves, and threw it to the little rabbit. It's not that the outer layer is bad, in fact, it is also tender and juicy, and can be fried.

However, a cabbage was too big for her and Li Chengxi to finish, so they simply gave some to the little rabbit.

I don’t know if it’s because the little rabbit grows fast or because Lin Tao feeds it well, but it has become fatter not long after coming home.

While feeding the little rabbit with cabbage, Lin Tao heard the hen at home clucking, just like the old hen she raised in Xiangcheng made when laying eggs.

Lin Tao calculated the time. It had been several months since she bought the chicks. It was almost time for them to lay eggs.

She walked into the chicken coop and felt around, and actually pulled out a still-warm egg.

Her family didn't grow tomatoes, but Chen Shuifen's family did, so Lin Tao brought a cabbage to her house and exchanged it for some tomatoes from Chen Shuifen.

Chen Shuifen was both angry and amused: "Tsk, you are such a fool. If you want to eat tomatoes, you can just come to my house and pick them. You even specially brought a cabbage with you. It makes our two families seem more distant. Don't allow me to do that next time!"

Lin Tao smiled and picked two more tomatoes, saying, "I did that on purpose. If I hadn't brought the cabbage, I would have only been able to pick two at most. But since I brought the cabbage, I felt comfortable picking a few more."

Chen Shui-fen laughed even more vigorously: "It doesn't matter whether you bring anything or not, you can pick as many as you want. It's okay if you pick all of them. The two children don't like to eat them anyway."

Lin Tao spoke a few more words to Chen Shuifen and then went back home to cook.

Originally, we were planning to steam steamed buns today, but when Lin Tao saw that she was not appetizing for steamed buns, she decided to steam rice instead.

The tickets she and Li Chengxi received together were enough for them to have fine food every month. However, Lin Tao would still cook coarse food once a week, and save the extra tickets.

Today Lin Tao cooked scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried cabbage leaves with pork fat, and braised pork.

Originally, according to Lin Tao's plan, she should have eaten seafood today. After all, seafood does not require a ticket and costs more than pork. But when she went to the grocery store to buy vegetables this morning, she saw pork and wanted to eat it so she cut a piece of pork and brought it back.

After buying it back, Lin Tao felt a little funny again. She really had a very good life after arriving on the island. She wanted to eat a piece of meat from time to time.

Not long after the meal was ready, Li Chengxi came back from checking the food.

Lin Tao put the dishes on the table and asked Li Chengxi to eat. But she saw that Li Chengxi was holding a box. She asked, "What is this?"

Li Chengxi opened it and showed her the bottles and jars inside. Only then did Lin Tao see clearly that they were snow cream for face application.

She had just used up the box of snow cream that Xu Yuting gave her last time, and wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some, but it was sold out. She originally thought that since summer was over, it would be okay not to apply it, but she didn't expect the wind on the island to be so strong. Every time she went out and came back, she always felt that her face was a little dry.

Xu Yuting wanted to give her another bottle, but unfortunately she had used up her own.

A few days ago, Xu Yuting took Lin Tao to find the purchasing clerk of the supply and marketing cooperative and said a few words to him, asking him to buy Snow Frost next time he went to purchase goods.

The purchasing clerk agreed, but unfortunately the sea has been rough recently and the supply and marketing cooperative's purchase date has been delayed again and again, and it has been delayed for more than half a month.

Thanks to Lin Tao, I bought too much wool when I went to buy it last time. If I go there again now, I guarantee that there will be no wool left.

I really don’t know when Li Chengxi noticed that his snowflake cream was used up, but he actually got the stuff without saying a word and bought a lot.

Lin Tao actually didn't quite understand all this. If Xu Yuting hadn't told her about this before, she probably wouldn't have known how to put anything on her face.

But the packaging of these bottles and jars looks quite exquisite, so I guess they are not cheap.

Li Chengxi said, "The one I saw last time was almost used up, so I sent the money while I was writing a letter home and asked my aunt to buy you one. I don't know these things, so I don't know which one you used. It was my aunt who helped me choose it."

Lin Tao felt warm at heart when she heard this. This man had her in his heart and pampered her with all his love. He even knew that her snowflake cream was almost used up. It was enough to show how considerate he was.

These days, having someone who understands you is better than anything else.

Lin Tao accepted these, walked over, and kissed Li Chengxi on the face.

This was the first time that Lin Tao had taken the initiative since they got married. Usually when they did that, Li Chengxi always took the initiative.

Lin Tao noticed that after she kissed Li Chengxi, his eyes darkened, and it was obvious that he was thinking about that.

Lin Tao was so scared that she quickly said, "What are you thinking about? It's broad daylight and we haven't even had dinner yet. Come on, it's time to eat. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold."

Li Chengxi looked at her and saw a blush on her face, knowing that she was shy. It was too early to think about that now, so he should wait until the lights were turned off at night.

Li Chengxi stood up to serve Lin Tao some rice. According to Lin Tao's usual amount of food, he gave her half a bowl of rice.

However, Lin Tao's appetite was really good today. She ate several pieces of braised pork in a row during the meal. Her braised pork was delicious, the fat was tender and glutinous, and it didn't feel greasy at all. It was delicious when she ate it piece by piece.

After finishing the rice in the bowl, Lin Tao went to get another half bowl of rice, poured some of the braised pork soup into the bowl, and ate it together. The rice was mixed with the flavor of meat, and Lin Tao enjoyed it especially well.

Li Chengxi saw that Lin Tao had eaten so much today and asked, "Did you have lunch?"

Lin Tao paused while eating and realized that she had eaten too much today, which led Li Chengxi to think that she had skipped lunch.

But her appetite today was really good. Normally she couldn't eat so much. No wonder Li Chengqi misunderstood her.

Lin Tao shook her head: "I've eaten it. Maybe I ate too much because of the glutinous rice..."

Li Chengxi laughed out loud and put another piece of fat and lean braised pork into her bowl: "Then eat more, you are too thin."

After dinner, Li Chengxi went to wash the dishes. Lin Tao rested for a while and planned to drink the goat milk that Zhong Jing brought her today.

As a result, for some reason, Lin Tao felt nauseous after taking a sip.

She quickly ran to the toilet and vomited out all the food she had just eaten.

Li Chengxi heard the noise and ran over quickly.

He did not mind that the dirt on the ground was the vomit that Lin Tao had just vomited. He reached out and patted Lin Tao's back gently, and then poured a glass of water for Lin Tao to rinse her mouth. After Lin Tao finished rinsing her mouth, he asked: "What's wrong? Did you eat too much and it hurt?"

Lin Tao was helped by Li Chengxi to walk to the yard and sat down. She breathed in some fresh air and felt a little more comfortable.

She touched her stomach and didn't feel any pain. She shook her head and said, "I don't know why. When I drank goat's milk just now, I felt that it tasted very bad, with a strong smell of mutton, so I vomited."

But she had drunk it several times before and never tasted any mutton smell. Could it be that Zhong Jing didn't get rid of the mutton smell when she cooked it this time?

Li Chengxi took a sip, shook his head, and said that he didn't taste any mutton taste.

Somehow, Lin Tao suddenly remembered the last time Xu Yuting drank goat's milk, she also vomited after taking a sip. At that time, Zhong Jing said that pregnant women are more sensitive in all aspects, so they can taste the mutton smell in goat's milk.

I didn't feel any mutton taste when I drank it before, but now I can taste it again...

Could it be that I am pregnant?

Lin Tao touched her still flat belly and told Li Chengxi about her doubts. But after calculating the days, she found that her menstruation came on schedule, so it was unlikely that she was pregnant.

Li Chengxi didn't care about that. He took out Lin Tao's cashmere hat and put it on her. Regardless of whether she was pregnant or not, she felt unwell and had to go to the health center for a check-up immediately.

Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Lin Tao said, "Why don't we go tomorrow?"

Li Chengxi took out the flashlight from his pocket and turned it on. A beam of light cut through the darkness. He said with a firm tone, "Let's go today. If you're not feeling well, don't delay."

Lin Tao had no choice but to listen to him and watched Li Chengxi busying around. He locked the door, then took her hand and put her somewhat cold hand into his pocket.

In the big pocket of his military uniform, the two of them held hands tightly together. Lin Tao felt that her hands, which had been a little cold, were now warmed up.

"Will we be seen?" Lin Tao asked. After all, this was a military area, and it would not have a good impact if the two of them held hands.

Li Chengxi said, "It's cold now, there's no one around at night."

When the weather gets colder, unlike when it is hot, there are no more people walking outside. It gets dark earlier. In the summer, when they go out for a walk after dinner, they can see the fiery clouds in the sky. Now they need a flashlight when they go out.

There was a doctor on duty at night. He took Lin Tao's temperature and the result showed that everything was normal. He asked Lin Tao some questions, such as whether she had diarrhea or stomach pain, but Lin Tao shook her head.

It seemed that she had nothing else to do except vomiting just now.

Li Chengxi was listening nearby and asked, "Is it possible that she is pregnant?"

Lin Tao's face flushed and she felt a little embarrassed. The pregnancy was just her wild guess and it was very likely not true. How could Li Chengxi ask about it?

But since Li Chengxi had started this, when the doctor asked Lin Tao questions again, Lin Tao could only answer honestly: "I seem to be a little sleepy recently, and my appetite is better than before..."

She deliberately didn't mention her menstrual period, otherwise it would seem that Li Chengxi wanted a child too much, which would make people laugh.

After listening to me, the doctor said, "The reactions you described are indeed somewhat similar to pregnancy, but whether you are really pregnant or not can only be known after the examination. The obstetrician and gynecologist has gone off duty, so you can come back tomorrow."

Lin Tao and Li Chengxi came out of the hospital. Lin Tao said, "See, I told you to come back tomorrow."

Li Chengxi said, "I had a checkup today. I felt relieved when the doctor said that I was fine."

Just a few words were enough to soften Lin Tao's heart. Without saying anything, she let Li Chengxi grab her wrist and put her hands in her pockets. The two of them walked slowly towards home, one step at a time.

But after taking a walk outside, Lin Tao felt much more comfortable.

After returning home, Li Chengxi washed the dishes that he had not had time to wash before, cleaned the house, boiled some bath water for Lin Tao, and let her take a bath.

Thinking about the fact that Lin Tao had vomited up all the food before, Li Chengxi made her a bowl of noodles with a poached egg on top while she was taking a bath.

However, his cooking skills were really poor. Although he was not in a hurry, he still ended up burning the poached eggs so badly that they didn't look like poached eggs at all.

After Lin Tao came out of the shower, she saw the bowl of noodles on the dining table.

Li Chengxi happened to come out of the kitchen with a pair of chopsticks and said to Lin Tao, "I was afraid you would be hungry tonight, so I cooked you a bowl of noodles, but I don't know if it tastes good."

Lin Tao took the chopsticks, took a bite, and said with a smile: "It's delicious."

When Lin Tao took a shower, she also washed her hair, which was not yet dry. When Lin Tao was eating noodles, Lin Chengxi stood behind her and rubbed her hair with a towel.

In fact, Li Chengxi would help Lin Tao wipe her hair before, but Lin Tao would always lie on the bed with her hair hanging down the edge of the bed, and Li Chengxi would sit on the edge of the bed.

Like now, this was the first time that Li Chengxi wiped Lin Tao's hair while she was eating noodles.

However, Lin Tao did not feel uncomfortable at all and finished the bowl of noodles cooked by Li Chengqi. In fact, the taste was definitely not as good as the noodles cooked by Lin Tao herself, but because it was cooked by Li Chengqi, Lin Tao thought it was delicious anyway.

After eating the noodles, Lin Tao wanted to lie down and rest, but Li Chengxi stopped her and walked around the house with her for ten minutes before letting her go to bed.

Because you go to bed right after eating, it is easy to have indigestion.

Afterwards, the two of them lay on the bed, and Li Chengxi reached out and touched Lin Tao's lower abdomen.

Lin Tao felt a little itchy and smiled when being touched. Then she took Li Chengxi's hand away and said with a smile, "Don't hold your hopes too high. I don't think it's likely."

Li Chengxi said, "The doctor said your reactions are very much like pregnancy."

Lin Tao snorted softly: "I deliberately didn't tell him that my period came on time because I was afraid he would laugh at you."

Despite what Lin Tao said, Li Chengxi still insisted that Lin Tao was very likely pregnant.

After turning off the lights at night, he did not do anything to Lin Tao, but just held her in his arms and went to sleep.

The next day, before Li Chengxi left, he kissed Lin Tao on the forehead and reminded her not to forget to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Lin Tao turned over and muttered "I know", and as soon as Li Chengxi left, she went back to sleep.

Around nine o'clock, Lin Tao finally woke up from her sleepiness.

After waking up, Lin Tao went to wash up and cooked herself a bowl of rice noodles. After packing up, Lin Tao went to the hospital.

After going to the hospital for a checkup and getting the report, the doctor took a look at the report and told her: "You are pregnant."

Lin Tao was still a little unresponsive. She looked at the list and then at the doctor and said, "Doctor, am I really pregnant? But I just had my period a while ago, so it shouldn't have any impact, right?"

The doctor said, "Some people may experience this. Generally speaking, it's nothing serious. Just rest more and I'll prescribe some vitamins and calcium tablets later."

After receiving a positive response from the doctor, Lin Tao put away the list, thanked the doctor, and went to the pharmacy to get two bottles of vitamin tablets and calcium tablets.

It was already past eleven when she got home. It was not yet time for lunch, but Lin Tao felt a little hungry, so she went to make lunch.

Not sure if it was because she ate too much at lunch and felt sleepy or because of her pregnancy, but after lunch when she was knitting a sweater for a while, Lin Tao's eyelids started to droop.

She put down her work and went to bed for a nap.

Not long after, there was a commotion outside. It was Li Chengxi who came back.
