Chapter 180 Su Tai is pregnant again
Doctor Li's brows relaxed immediately and he placed his hand on Su Tai's pulse.
It was only a few breaths, but Shen Yi felt it was particularly long, and couldn't help asking: "Doctor Li, what's wrong with my wife?"
Doctor Li let go of her hand and laughed, "What could it be? It's a good thing! Your wife is pregnant! Her pulse looks fine, go home and take good care of her."
Shen Yi was overjoyed and not only paid the consultation fee but also left some bread and cake for Dr. Li.
The couple came out of the clinic with happy faces and were seen by Xiong Kai and his wife who were living nearby.
Mo Chunxiang felt that the snack in her hand no longer tasted fragrant.
Xiong Kai pulled her away without leaving a trace.
Shen Yi sent Su Tai back to Dongmen Village and told Han and others the news.
Han was so happy that she almost lost herself in thought. Then she started to worry, "Xiaoyu will be born a month earlier than Xiaotai. By then, I will have to be busy on both ends."
Sun Ying'er came over with her son in her arms. Upon hearing this, she quickly said, "Don't worry, Auntie. When Xiaoyu is out of confinement, I can help. You just go take care of Xiaotai."
She still lives with her children in the second house. Although Su Chuan gave her a lot of money, she insisted on giving money to Han.
But Han refused to take her in no matter what, and even forbade her to work. She just took care of the children every day and had nothing to do with housework.
These days made her feel anxious.
If the child wasn't too young and it wasn't unsafe for the widow and orphan to live on the other side, she would have wanted to move there.
Now that she finally got the job, she said she couldn't let it go no matter what.
"That's fine." Han heaved a sigh of relief and became even warmer to Sun Ying'er.
After Shen Yi knew about this, he specially sent a lot of snacks and gadgets to Sun Ying'er and her son to express his gratitude.
After returning from Dongmen Village, the family of three resumed their regular life.
The only difference is that Su Tai is pregnant, and Shen Yi doesn't let her do anything, and only lets her play with Shen Yuezhang.
Shen Yuezhang, who is over one year old, is very well taken care of. He is chubby and very energetic. He won’t let anyone hold him since he could walk, and he runs around the house happily all day long.
The floor of their bedroom was covered with proper tiles. Every day before dawn, Chen Yi would take the mop that Su Tai bought from the hardware store and simply mop the floor. He would then let the child run around barefoot, not worrying about her getting dirty or bumped into anything.
But ever since the child went to Dongmen Village, he has been unwilling to stay in the bedroom since returning.
Every day when I wake up, I just want to go out.
The eaves of the backyard were paved with broken tiles, and there were only stones in the yard. It would hurt the feet of adults when they stepped on them, let alone a little kid like Shen Yuezhang. In order to give the child a flat place to play.
Shen Yi managed to make some time to pave the entire backyard floor with red bricks.
By the time he was done with his troubles, summer had quietly slipped away.
In August, it was time to harvest the crops that Su Tai had planted in the ten acres of fertile land in the Earth Time and Space.
Since the last batch of sugarcane was harvested, she did not continue to grow sugarcane, but switched to growing cotton to make up for the materials and bedding consumed previously, and to make some new cotton-padded jackets for the whole family during the winter.
As for the old cotton-padded jackets, they can be sold cheaply to poor families in the village, or given as gifts so they will not be wasted.
After harvesting this batch of cotton, Gopher continued to plant a new batch of sugarcane.
The joy of the harvest made Su Tai radiant and happy.
Little girl Shen Yuezhang was playing with a ball on the flat red brick ground in the backyard. Seeing her beautiful mother smiling, she couldn't help but tilt her head and asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at, mother?"
Su Tai looked at the little one in front of her in surprise, "Wow! My baby can ask questions now! That's amazing!"
She was so excited that she immediately took out the light yellow cotton cloth that had just been produced by the Space-Time Transfer Station and tried it on Shen Yuezhang.
Shen Yi had just returned. Seeing Su Tai's actions, he subconsciously stopped and looked at the mother and daughter silently, with a slight smile on his face, "But are you preparing a dress for Yue'er to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"Mid-Autumn Festival?" Su Tai slapped her head, very annoyed, "I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me! Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, it's time to prepare something to earn some money."
"Hmm?" Shen Yi was puzzled.
Su Tai quickly ran back to the bedroom and soon came out with a small basket of mooncakes, "Look."
Shen Yi took the things out and found a delicate dessert the size of a baby's fist in the basket. The baked golden and shiny skin exuded an enticing aroma.
"What's this?"
"Mooncake!" Su Tai said as a matter of course, stuffing a piece of mooncake into Shen Yi's mouth, "Try it."
Shen Yi chewed it carefully and nodded, "It's delicious, and a little salty. What is that? It smells really good!"
Su Tai smiled, "What you just ate was the salted egg yolk and red bean paste flavor. We also have pure red bean paste flavors, jam flavors like strawberry, blueberry, etc. There are also lotus seed paste flavors and five-nut mooncakes.
Whatever you want, you can have it.
I have thought about it. I will sell mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. You can deliver the goods yourself and tell others that they are made by our family. Anyway, the pot cakes are made in the yard next door, and no one comes here. Who knows if I make mooncakes? Let's take this opportunity to make some more money.
So that I can save money for my unborn child. If it’s a son, I can save money for his betrothal gift, and if it’s a daughter, I can save money for her dowry.”
With another child, she had to work hard to earn money to prevent the family's living conditions from declining.
Shen Yi smiled bitterly and let her do as she wished.
He immediately took the remaining mooncakes and went to Moshi Town to find Ma Xingteng.
Su Tai waited until the children fell asleep before going to the Fire Time and Space Bakery to order a batch of mooncakes from the owner.
Cantonese-style mooncakes are suitable for the high-end route, while other mooncakes, such as five-nut mooncakes or salty mooncakes with meat and mung bean fillings, can be made larger and priced more affordably.
After placing the order, she ran to the water to get shrimp and crab cages.
How can Mid-Autumn Festival be complete without crabs!
When she came out after finishing her work, it was already quite dark. Calculating the time, Shen Yi should be back soon, so she hurried to cook.
When the food was ready, Shen Yi arrived home.
"When I delivered the mooncakes today, Ma Xingteng went to the town official's house. I was in a hurry, so I just went there. The town official's wife was very interested in our mooncakes. Before Ma Xingteng said anything, she couldn't wait to take our order and said she wanted as many as we could get.
Ma Xingteng was not in a hurry at first, but after being tricked by his sister, he panicked. The brother and sister argued in front of me, and then they both decided to order mooncakes from us, but they had to be delivered on August 10th. After all, this thing is quite special, and no one will buy it until August 16th at most. "
Shen Yi explained the situation in one breath.
Su Tai was a little puzzled. "Is the town official's wife planning to steal business from her eldest brother? Aren't they said to have a good relationship?"
Chen Yi laughed, "Their brother and sister have a good relationship, but one thing is another. However, the town official's wife did not intend to steal business from her eldest brother. From what I heard, she should be thinking about selling mooncakes in the county or even the prefectural city."
