Gu Qingmeng put away all the recipes and planned to copy them when she had time.
As soon as I came out of the space, I heard Aunt Han picking vegetables. I knew she was preparing dumpling fillings for the evening. Occasionally, I could hear a few firecrackers outside, as well as the noise of children.
She stroked her belly gently, thinking that next year there would be two more noisy little ones in their family.
She had originally planned to go back to Beijing to visit her grandfather this year, but she didn’t go back because of her pregnancy. She must go back next year!
Gu Qingmeng didn't know that Fu Chuanshuo, who was far away in Beijing, was staring at her photo in his study. While missing her, he was also thinking about his beloved daughter who passed away early.
Fu Qingzhou, Fu Qingfan and others were sitting in the living room chatting. The younger ones were not home this year, so they spent the New Year sighing.
"Sister-in-law, isn't it time for Xiaohang to get married? It would be best if he could have a grandson next year. You can retire and take care of the child, and our home will be more lively." Feng Yanan said to her sister-in-law.
The children at home were all away, and they were eerily quiet during the New Year. Outside, she could hear the laughter of children playing, which made her feel itchy inside.
Given her son Fu Hong's character, there's no way she could expect him to get married soon, but she could still hope for her eldest nephew, who was very popular in the compound.
"Can't we rely on any of them? Guaibao is due to give birth in a few months after the Chinese New Year. She's pregnant with twins and there's a high probability that she'll be born prematurely. I'm saving up my vacation time to go there. Xiaoyu said he's hired someone to take care of his sister, but I'm really worried since I haven't seen her."
Sun Yan treats Gu Qingmeng as her own daughter, so she will definitely go to take care of her during the confinement period after she gives birth!
Feng Yanan sighed and said, "I've also saved up my vacation time. We can go together when the time comes. It would be great if we could go to Beijing. Their house is big and comfortable. Their courtyard is a bit small, and it would be inconvenient for us to live there."
"Xiao Yu said Xinghe is going to build a house. I guess it should be ready by the time Guaibao is born."
If it really doesn't work, let Pei Xinghe live next door for a month. Anyway, Sun Yan has made up her mind to take care of her during the confinement period.
Fu Qingzhou: "Dad, you must be thinking about your sister!"
Fu Qingfan: "Dad has been frowning ever since he found out that my dear is pregnant with twins."
The four of them fell silent at the same time, their hearts hanging in the balance. As long as Gu Qingmeng did not give birth safely, they would not be able to let go of their worries.
Gu Qingmeng was discussing with Han Qiongyin what kind of dumplings to make in the evening, and she didn't know that her relatives in Beijing were still worried about her.
"Mengmeng, this green dough looks so good. Why do you have so many ideas?"
Han Qiongyin kneaded the dough in her hands and felt emotional. The green dough wrapped around the white dough looked so beautiful.
The few spinach leaves grown in the house were mixed into the dough.
Gu Qingmeng smiled but said nothing. A green dough made Aunt Han so happy! If she knew she could also make colorful dough, wouldn't her jaw drop?
She still has some vegetable powder in her space, so she can make some colorful noodles someday.
"Sister, I'm here to help make dumplings. Where's my brother-in-law? Why can't I see him?"
Fu Yu was a little confused. As long as Pei Xinghe was at home, he would always stick to his sister. Why didn't he see him today?
"What do you want from me?"
Before Gu Qingmeng could answer, Pei Xinghe's voice sounded from behind.
Gu Qingmeng saw that everyone had returned, so she looked at the time and started directing the making of dumplings. Then she received countless compliments, all of which were about her making the green dough.
Because of her big belly, it was inconvenient for Gu Qingmeng to move, so she sat down to rest after being busy for a while.
I wonder if the baby in my belly knows that today is Chinese New Year? They are moving around so much today that she can even feel her belly bulging.
"Qingqing, are you tired? I'll help you go back and rest for a while."
Pei Xinghe felt Gu Qingmeng's tiredness the moment she lowered her head. He immediately put down the dumplings in his hand, washed his hands, and helped Gu Qingmeng back to the room.
Gu Huaian and Gu Jun were also paying attention to Gu Qingmeng. Several of his younger brothers also put down the dumplings they were making. Han Qiongyin poured a cup of hot water and asked Gu Qingmeng to hold it in her hand and drink it slowly.
"I'm fine, don't worry. The kids are just a little bit active today. I'll just sit for a while. No need to go back to rest."
Gu Qingmeng took a sip of hot water, sat on the kang in the west room, and refused to go back to rest.
If she goes back to rest, grandpa and dad will definitely be worried!
She really wasn't feeling unwell, at most she was just a little tired. The child was indeed a little noisy today.
"Little guys, don't make trouble for your mother, okay? Otherwise, you will be beaten when you are born."
Pei Xinghe squatted in front of Gu Qingmeng and talked to her stomach.
Gu Qingmeng: ...
Gu Huaian: ...
Gu Jun: ...
"Brother-in-law, if it was the little princess, would you be willing to hit her?" Fu Yu asked with a smile.
Pei Xinghe: "...Girls, you need to be pampered."
Pei Xinghe remembered that his wife had said that their daughter should be pampered and raised in wealth, otherwise she would be easily deceived by some rogue with sweet words. Their daughter must not be deceived.
Because Gu Qingmeng was pregnant, they didn't wait until twelve o'clock to have dumplings. They had dinner before nine o'clock.
The dumplings were stuffed with two kinds of fillings, one with pork and cabbage, and the other with leeks, eggs, and shrimp.
It is rare to eat leeks in winter. These leeks are carefully grown by Grandpa Gu Huaian. Everyone is very satisfied with the meal and finished all the leek dumplings.
“These leek dumplings are so delicious.”
“It’s such a blessing to be able to eat leeks in winter.”
"It would be great if there were chive flowers. With Erba sauce and lamb slices, I could eat two kilograms."
"Woooooooooooooo..."
Before Gu Qingmeng could react, Gu Huaian and Gu Jun stood up. The father and son looked at each other and were about to leave.
"Grandpa, Dad, this... this is the cry of the Black Panther child. Last time I took them up the mountain and encountered wolves, it learned the wolf's howl."
Pei Xinghe quickly stopped his father-in-law and grandfather. The voice was obviously from the Wolf King. He didn't expect that the Wolf King, who had not appeared in these days, would appear today.
He knew exactly what size the wolf king was. If they really angered it, they would definitely be no match unless they had guns.
