Chapter 248



Giving birth is a matter of life and death, and no one dares to take it lightly. So Captain Qian told Lu Xiaoyun to go back immediately and asked his wife, Aunt Meihua, and another aunt to go and help.

After all, these two young people sent to the countryside had no parents or relatives around them. They were just two young people who didn't know anything, so it would be best if something went wrong.

Even if you dislike these troublemakers, you can't just stand by and do nothing at this time.

Aunt Meihua and another aunt each supported Liang Zhaodi on one side, helping her back home. Although Lu Xiaoyun frowned and was unwilling, he still borrowed a wooden cart. Then, everyone helped Liang Zhaodi lie down on the wooden cart, picked up their things, and pushed Liang Zhaodi to the hospital.

First pregnancies usually don't happen very quickly, so it's still possible to start at the town hospital.

When everyone arrived at the jujube tree at the village entrance, Captain Qian was already waiting there with a letter of introduction. He handed the letter to his wife and then let them go to town.

At this time, many women who have given birth naturally do not stay in the hospital for too long, so Liang Zhaodi returned to the village on the morning of the third day. In other words, she only stayed in the hospital for two nights in total, including today.

It is said that after having a child, you can see whether a man is a human or a ghost. It was only at this time that Liang Zhaodi realized that Lu Xiaoyun was not human, because he did not take care of her at all. If it weren't for her two aunts, she would not know how pitiful she would be.

Moreover, after she was taken into the delivery room, Lu Xiaoyun made an excuse to leave. Her two aunts were waiting for her outside the delivery room. Lu Xiaoyun was gone for a long time, and she had even taken a nap in the ward before he returned.

At this time, he was wearing very little clothing, and his neck was almost completely exposed. Liang Zhaodi clearly noticed two faint red marks on Lu Xiaoyun's neck. They weren't very obvious, but she saw them.

As someone who has a married life, she naturally understands what caused this situation. She never imagined that while she was going through the arduous process of giving birth in the delivery room, Lu Xiaoyun would take the opportunity to go out and fool around with other people.

Once she finds out who that "other person" is, she's determined to tear that bitch's face apart for having an affair with a married man.

After being discharged from the hospital and returning home, Aunt Meihua told Liang Zhaodi to take good care of herself during her postpartum period and to have Lu Xiaoyun take good care of her and the baby. After all, pregnancy lasts ten months and childbirth is a process that women have to bear themselves, while men don't suffer at all.

If you don't take care of your wife and children at a time like this, are you even human?

However, Lu Xiaoyun and Liang Zhaodi had no experience in taking care of children. Lu Xiaoyun was too lazy to get involved in these matters, so he paid a few yuan a month to have an old lady in the village take care of his daughter.

He didn't like Liang Zhaodi, and naturally he didn't like his daughter either, but the child had already been born, so he couldn't just ignore her, otherwise people would gossip about him.

Anyway, when he can go home, he will go back with Xia Minglei. Liang Zhaodi and his daughter can stay here. There's no way he'll take them back with him.

He also wanted to marry a rich young lady to advance his career. He used to be very popular at home, so how could he let Liang Zhaodi drag him down for the rest of his life?

Wenxi found out on the same day Liang Zhaodi went to the fields to find Lu Xiaoyun, because Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue told her when they came back from work that they cooked with Wenxi during the busy farming season and had to work during the off-season.

During the off-season, they are neither tired nor busy, and they can handle it, so Wenxi doesn't worry about them. She only makes sure they eat and drink well.

Moreover, they had been in the countryside for almost a year and had witnessed the character of some people there firsthand. They no longer needed Wenxi to protect them so carefully; they could protect themselves on their own.

That day, Wenxi was walking on the mountain when she came across a jujube tree. Seeing the red jujubes on it, Wenxi really wanted to pick them, but then she remembered the dense swarms of caterpillars on the jujube leaves she had seen at Lin Yiwan's house. Wenxi suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

Wen Xi forced herself to take a few steps back, then turned around.

She is terrified of hairy caterpillars and other small creatures, but she's not afraid of much else.

After a while, the tingling sensation on her scalp gradually subsided. Wen Xi then took out a hat and gloves from the system warehouse, put them on, and covered herself up completely. Only then did she take out a long bamboo pole and start knocking on the jujube tree.

There's a saying that goes, "Even if there are no dates, you can still knock some down after three tries." And now the tree is full of dates. In this era of fruit scarcity, a tree full of dates is a treasure!

Even if you don't eat it yourself, you can use it for social obligations or exchange it for money on the black market.

With a 'smack', the jujubes fell to the ground with a clatter. Wen Xi didn't rush to pick them up. Instead, she knocked down most of the jujubes on the tree before squatting down to carefully pick them up.

I didn't expect this jujube tree to be so productive; the jujubes filled three whole baskets, weighing at least 150 jin (75 kg).

Seeing that there were small jujube trees under the big jujube tree, Wenxi hesitated for a moment, but still dug up all the small jujube trees around it. Although jujube trees are prone to growing caterpillars, it would be fine to plant them in a corner and stay away from them.

Afterwards, Wenxi went to harvest Sichuan peppercorns to make spicy chicken, spicy fish, Sichuan peppercorn chicken, and green pepper rabbit. Adding Sichuan peppercorns makes the dishes taste even better.

Actually, the peppercorns can be harvested when they are still green, but Wenxi wanted to collect some to use as seeds, so she never harvested them.

Today, Wenxi harvested the Sichuan peppercorns that had turned from green to red. Some of them had already split open, revealing the black seeds inside.

I remember when I first came here last year, I found that chestnut tree on the mountain. After harvesting the peppercorns, Wenxi dug up a few small peppercorn trees and then went to find that chestnut tree.

Following my memory, I found the chestnut tree, took out the bamboo pole I had just used to knock down the dates, and directly knocked down the chestnuts hanging on the branches.

At this time, the chestnuts are not very ripe, so you can't pick them up; you can only knock them down. Moreover, the chestnuts at this time have a crisp and tender texture and can be eaten raw.

Wenxi didn't pick that many chestnuts because it was still too early to pick them. She only knocked down about ten chestnut balls to try them out.

Wenxi descended the mountain with a bountiful harvest. After delivering the pig feed, she returned home and saw Lin Yiwan standing by the courtyard gate, looking somewhat agitated. Wenxi quickly walked over and asked, puzzled, "Yiwan, what's wrong?"

"Xiaoxi, open the door quickly," Lin Yiwan urged.

Wen Xi quickly opened the courtyard gate, invited Lin Yiwan in, made her a cup of tea, and asked curiously, "Xiaowan, what happened? I can see that you can't hide your excitement."

"Tang Xiaoyun has gone mad," Lin Yiwan said.

'puff……'
