Chapter 135 Newbie on the Road
Lin Xia was a novice, and her knowledge of pregnancy was limited to the experiences she had seen online. The only pregnant woman she knew was the original owner’s sister-in-law, but she hadn’t been with her for long.
She couldn't count on Lu Yuxiu's stepmother, and Lin's mother wasn't going to help either. Her second sister-in-law was about to give birth in October, and her eldest sister Lin Xue was just over a month ahead of her. It would be fine if her mother-in-law didn't come to cause trouble, so she could only count on Lin's mother. She was far away, so she would probably have to ask someone else for help when the time came.
Don't fight a battle without preparation. There was a person with rich production experience in front of her. In order to avoid being in a hurry at that time, Lin Xia asked Yang Hongmei for some precautions and even took a piece of paper to write them down.
Yang Hongmei had previously guessed that An An was not Lin Xia's biological daughter. Now that she saw her asking for advice, she knew that her guess was correct. Without thinking too much, she told her in detail the precautions to take during pregnancy.
Lin Xia wrote down these key points with the same attitude as when she wrote a work report in her previous life. The medical conditions were not good at the moment, so she had to take care of herself. If an accident still happened in the end, it would be God's will that she would die.
When Lu Yuxiu came back after buying groceries, he saw Lin Xia sitting alone at the table, writing and muttering something. He walked over and saw densely written words on the paper, with a few clear big words at the top: Countdown to baby birth!
It tells you how much to eat and how to exercise...it's even more detailed than their training plan.
"What is this?" Seeing that she had been writing for a long time and didn't notice that he had returned, Lu Yuxiu couldn't help but ask.
"This is my schedule, for a safe delivery when the time comes." Pregnant women must first ensure nutrition. At this time, there is no folic acid, vitamins and the like that pregnant women need to supplement, so she will first make a good nutritional combination and exercise.
She still remembered that she was out of breath after hoeing the ground for a while last time. The original owner's physical fitness was not good. For the safety of delivery, she could only make a plan.
Lu Yuxiu became very curious when he heard this, and was about to ask for details when he saw Lin Xia buried her head in writing again.
Seeing this, I could only take the vegetables to the kitchen and prepare to wash them first.
Lin Xia finished writing the plan and pasted it on the wall after going downstairs. She would pass by here every day and every time she saw it, it would remind her.
When I came to the kitchen, I saw Lu Yuzheng cutting potato shreds. He was not very fast but the shreds were well cut. The only difference was that the shreds were not really shreds.
"Let me do it." Lin Xia stepped forward to take over, cutting very quickly with the knife. Her level was certainly not as fast as that of a master chef, but it was still better than the average restaurants in later generations.
"Teach me how to cook." The man watched for a while, and when Lin Xia's belly got bigger, he couldn't bear to let her cook in the kitchen in such a hot day.
Lin Xia didn't expect that he would take the initiative to ask, and she agreed immediately. Although she likes cooking, she also wants to take a break occasionally. There is no reason for Lin Xia to refuse when a man takes the initiative to ask to learn how to cook.
The two were busy in the kitchen, Lin Xia was in charge of cooking, while Lu Yuxiu was in charge of the heat, all the while listening to Lin Xia's cooking instructions. However, as he listened, he realized that there was no exact amount for soy sauce and salt.
When Lin Xia looked up, she saw his slightly frowned brows and immediately knew what his problem was. She took a spoon and explained to him how much soy sauce and salt were needed to stir-fry a dish.
With this demonstration, he felt less distressed.
For the last dish, Lin Xia asked him to try it himself, and she guided him. In the end, the dish turned out pretty good. It wasn’t very pretty, but at least it wasn’t fuzzy.
After the dishes were served, Lu Yuxiu felt a little bit expectant and nervous. He specifically asked Lin Xia not to tell An An about it, as he wanted to see how the little guy would react.
The little girl didn’t know that her father was cooking today. Ever since she started eating with Lin Xia, the family has been enjoying every meal happily. However, when she ate scrambled eggs with carrots today, she felt that this dish she loved very much was not as delicious as before.
Seeing that the little guy lost interest after taking two bites, Lu Yuxiu had a feeling that it was as he expected. He tried it himself and found that it was indeed not as delicious as others. Both he and the little guy had spoiled their stomachs. He never thought that the food in the cafeteria was bad, but he didn't know when he felt that it was just to fill his stomach.
Lin Xia didn’t pay much attention to whether the little guy liked it or not. She tasted it herself and found that it was not stir-fried evenly, so the taste was not that good. It was not that strange dark taste. It was very good to be able to make it like this for the first time cooking. With time and her teaching, it should be very good!
Lin Xia ate with gusto, feeling very happy thinking that someone would cook for her even if she didn't have to cook.
Seeing how happy she was eating, Lu Yuxiu began to doubt his own cooking skills. He tried again, but the taste was still the same and not very good.
Seeing that she liked it so much, Lu Yuxiu made up his mind. He didn't believe that he couldn't conquer a kitchen.
After finishing his meal, Lu Yuxiu went to the camp to report.
Lin Xia took the little one to bed as usual. After waking up, Lin Xia got up and packed up the things she bought in the morning. She didn't buy much fine cotton cloth, and after using up most of the cloth coupons, she only had one piece. Fortunately, there was the cloth that had been sent to her before. Last time, she made a skirt and two clothes for the little one, and there was still a lot left.
To prepare for a rainy day, it seems I have to write home and ask Lin's mother to help me get some more defective cloth. I haven't told her family about her pregnancy yet, so I'll go to town tomorrow to make a phone call to tell them.
This may be considered a bit early, but defective cloth is not always available, and you have to snatch it to get it, and to snatch it depends on who knows the news in advance.
Lin Xia finished cleaning up and was about to continue the class with the little one, teaching her a story and a few new pinyin. After she learned to write, Lin Xia sat aside and wrote and drew. What she drew was what diapers would look like in future generations.
"Is Xiao Xia at home?"
There was a sound outside the door. Lin Xia got up and saw Yang Hongmei standing at the door with Niuniu in one hand and holding something. There were also three military wives standing next to them. Among them, she only knew Zhao Xianglan.
"Come in quickly."
"Don't come to open the door, I'll do it myself." Yang Hongmei handed the child to Zhao Xianglan and reached out to open the door. The door of her yard was also like this.
The door is not high, and anyone with a longer arm can reach the door lock and open it with a push.
Seeing that they could open the door, Lin Xia saved time to open it and stood at the door waiting for them to come over.
Several sisters-in-law came over with things in their hands. Yang Hongmei handed the things in her hand to Lin Xia and said with a smile: "This is to thank you for teaching me how to make dried mangoes. They happened to see me buying mangoes, so I told them the method. Look, they have never seen you before, so they insisted that I bring them along to introduce you to the world."
The two unfamiliar sisters-in-law smiled embarrassedly. The children at home were clamoring for dried mangoes, and they were wondering what that was. After asking, they found out that their children had eaten so much at Lin Xia's house.
They had heard vaguely about Lin Xia and Zhang Sixi's story before, but since they did not live in the old family quarters, they had never had any dealings with them. But since their own child had eaten so much food from others and was now clamoring for dried mangoes, they had no choice but to find Yang Hongmei.
Yang Hongmei had lived in the military area for quite a long time, and we all knew each other, so I went to her first to ask about the situation.
"My sisters-in-law are too polite. That thing is not some kind of expensive food."
