Originally, Tian An was going to go to the farm before the winter hunt, but so many things happened later that he could only make time to go on the 28th.
Mr. Han had also given Xiaokang and Xiaoqi a day off, so they were able to go along. The two kids were so excited to go out and play that they started getting excited the night before, even packing up a lot of cakes and pastries sent by various families to share with their friends.
Tian An also asked Chen Qiang to buy a lot of peanuts and melon seeds in advance and have them fried in the kitchen. He then packed them into small bags along with the cakes and candies made by Qingmei and the others and took them to Uncle Yonghui and the people in the Wounded Soldiers Village as New Year gifts.
I also ordered two carts of cotton cloth from Peng Zhang, giving each family a piece. I also bought six pigs, keeping two for myself to make bacon for the New Year, and giving four to everyone. I came here today specifically to slaughter the pigs.
When he was about to go back to the village, Tian An asked someone to replace Du, Qiushan's mother, Gangzi's wife and Dashu's mother, and take them back as well.
Sitting in the carriage, the four of them were a little flattered for a moment.
Dashu Niang looked at the carriage curiously and said, "No wonder the nobles like to ride in carriages. This carriage is really good. Sitting in it, you won't feel the cold wind in the middle of winter, and it's fast."
Qiu Shanniang also smiled and said, "Thanks to An'an, I can say that I got to ride in a carriage today."
Tian An said, "It's nothing to ride once! When Brother Qiushan becomes successful, he will definitely buy Auntie a carriage. Then you can ride it every day, however you want, whenever you want."
Qiu Shan's mother waved her hands hurriedly. "I don't dare to think about that. I'll be thankful as long as this brat doesn't cause me any trouble. He's the only child in the family, so I don't expect him to achieve anything. In a couple of years, his father and I will save enough money to get him a wife, and we can just live a good life together."
Dashu's mother sighed and took over the conversation, "Your family only has Qiushan, so saving enough money to marry a wife is a piece of cake.
Our family was in a difficult situation. We had finally saved enough money to marry Dashan off, but we had just paid the betrothal money and hadn't even married the daughter-in-law when we ran into trouble. All our efforts were in vain.
The mountain is old, and there are big trees following closely behind it. I don’t know what to do!
Qiu Shan's mother could only console him, "There's nothing we can do about it. You're the one who's most upset. I'd love to be upset, but unfortunately, I'm not destined for that!"
Tian An looked at her with a critical eye: "Aunt, do you still want to have another child?"
"As a farmer, who doesn't want to have more children? But! I'm afraid I won't be that lucky in this life. I have seen many doctors and taken a lot of medicine in the past few years. But after this hardship, I don't have the mind to do so anymore. Let everything go with the flow! Fortunately, Qiushan's father doesn't blame me, I just feel a little sorry for him." Qiushan's mother said regretfully, with a glint of crystal in the corner of her eyes.
Tian An observed her face carefully and estimated that she was probably less than 35 years old, so it would be no problem for her to get pregnant and have a child at this age.
Then he said, "Aunt, give me your hand, I'll help you take a look."
Qiushan's mother was stunned, but Dashu's mother reacted quickly, "Qiushan's mother, don't just stand there! Let An'an take a look at you. She's a good doctor, maybe there's still hope!"
Gangzi's wife also advised: "Yes, aunt, Sister An An has cured many people before, you should have asked her to help you earlier."
Seeing that she hadn't reacted yet, Madam Du immediately pulled her hand out and asked, "Why are you still in a daze at this critical moment?"
It wasn't until Tian An felt her pulse that she realized what was happening. Then the four of them looked at Tian An with hope.
The carriage swayed as it moved, and the interior was completely silent. After a while, Tian An stopped feeling the pulse.
Qiu Shan Niang asked in a trembling voice: "An An, is there still hope?"
"Aunt, there's nothing serious wrong with my body, it's just that I feel a little cold. Do you often eat raw and cold food?" Tian An asked according to her condition.
Qiushan's mother thought for a moment and said, "Back in the day, there was so much farm work and so much work to do at home that Qiushan's father and grandfather couldn't handle it all. Sometimes, when they got busy, they wouldn't care about the weather and would just eat whatever they wanted. Even in the hottest summer, they'd drink a lot of cold water. What's going on? Is this the reason?"
Tian An nodded, "Probably."
Qiu Shan Niang said nervously: "Then, then I..."
Tian An smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie! It's not a big problem. I'll write you a prescription later. Go get the medicine and take it for half a month, and then we'll see how things go."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Remember in the future, don't eat raw, cold or cold things."
Qiushan's mother nodded hurriedly. How could she dare to eat anything randomly?
After examining Qiushan's mother, Gangzi's wife blushed and said, "Sister An'an, can you help me take a look too? It's been a few years since I gave birth to Dacong, and there's been no movement in my stomach. Is there something wrong with my body?"
"Okay, no problem, it's easy." Tian An agreed and asked her to stretch out her hand.
Soon he put his hand down and said, "Sister Mei Lan is recovering well, there's nothing wrong with her!"
Gangzi's wife first breathed a sigh of relief, but then became nervous again, "Since there's nothing wrong with your body, then, then how..."
Tian An thought for a moment and explained, "Sometimes not getting pregnant isn't necessarily due to a physical problem. Being too anxious, too nervous, or stressed can also have an impact."
He comforted her, "You should relax a little and don't push yourself too hard. Maybe once you feel better, good news will come naturally."
Gangzi's wife, Li Meilan, nodded. "I see. Thank you, An'an." But how could she not be anxious? In the blink of an eye, Dacong was already six years old.
Seeing that she looked worried, Tian An thought for a moment, then took out a box of folic acid from his bag and handed it to her.
"Sister Meilan is in good health. Take this medicine back and take one pill every day. Trust me this time. Don't overthink it. Relax your body and mind and start preparing for pregnancy. Maybe you'll get good news soon."
Li Meilan took the medicine in her hand, and she finally felt relieved. She looked at Tian An gratefully and said, "An An, thank you."
After thinking for a while, he said, "How much is the medicine? I'll give it to you now." Then he was about to take out his wallet.
Tian An hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't worry about the money for the medicine. It won't be too late to give it to me when you have good news."
Seeing her like this, Li Meilan felt more at ease. It was as if the long-standing worries were put down at this moment, and the mountains pressing on her seemed to turn into clouds and float away.
Tian An also told her and Qiu Shan's mother a lot of things to pay attention to, and recommended a lot of cheap and simple medicinal foods, asking them to stew some and eat them from time to time.
She also told them to come to her to check their pulse every two weeks.
The two were filled with gratitude and regretted not coming to see Tian An earlier.
