Chapter 44
"Egg?"
Lu Xiaobai squatted on the ground curiously, put down the basket, picked up an egg and looked at it carefully: "What a big egg!"
He has never liked eating eggs since he was a child, but his parents like to eat them. The most common eggs in the house are chicken eggs, and there are a few bird eggs. There are almost no duck eggs, and he has never seen an egg that is almost as big as his fist.
He thought for a long time: "Could it be a goose egg?"
Lu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then ran to the kitchen with a basket, wanting to ask Lingyi.
But yesterday and today, it was Ling San who was cleaning the kitchen. When he walked in, he saw Ling San's fierce look. He was so scared that he stopped in his tracks and asked, "Ling, where is Ling Yi?"
Zero Three: "Going hunting."
"Well, well..."
What does Lu Xiaobai want to ask other people?
But it seemed that no matter how he asked now, the others were not around and could not answer his questions.
He thought for a moment, then handed the basket to Ling San and asked, "Are these goose eggs?"
Ling San nodded: "Well, wasn't my sister-in-law bitten by a goose yesterday? This was sent by the goose owner."
"oh."
No wonder he was wondering why He Qin suddenly brought back the eggs. It turned out to be compensation for him.
He looked at his left hand, which had several more red marks on it, and muttered as he turned to leave, but was stopped by Ling San: "Sister-in-law hasn't had breakfast yet."
"oh……"
Lu Xiaobai then turned around, put the basket aside, and took his rice to eat.
After dinner, He Qin had not returned yet. Lu Xiaobai was a little bored, so he sat on a small stool in the yard, thinking about how to face He Qin in the future.
Although He Qin didn't do anything excessive to him last night, but, but that dream... that dream made him think of He Qin's ferocious look when he was pressing him down. Besides being a little scared, he also felt a little ashamed and embarrassed.
"noob!"
Lu Xiaobai was lost in thought when he suddenly heard someone calling him. He looked up and saw that it was the village chief. He stood up in surprise and ran over: "Uncle Village Chief."
Seeing Lu Xiaobai running so fast, the village chief immediately frowned: "Hey, why are you running so fast? Watch out for your stomach!"
Lu Xiaobai quickly braked and said firmly, "I'm not pregnant!"
The village chief smiled when he heard this, and handed the basket to Lu Xiaobai, saying, "You're not pregnant? If you weren't pregnant, would stingy Lu Lao San bring you goose eggs so early in the morning?"
Lu Xiaobai looked at the basket, which contained ten eggs. He anxiously put the basket back into the village chief's hands and said, "That's what others said. And the goose eggs, they gave me goose eggs because the geese bit me yesterday, okay!"
As Lu Xiaobai spoke, he showed the red marks on his hand to the village chief.
"Hahaha, I don't believe it anyway. Take this egg. Yesterday, Lingyi gave me most of the tung oil, and I didn't have time to thank him. These are my return gifts to you. By the way, they can supplement your nutrition."
The village chief smiled, put the basket on the ground and said, "Take the eggs away quickly. I want to take the basket back."
Seeing that the village chief didn't believe her, Lu Xiaobai was so anxious that tears came out: "I'm really not pregnant, why don't you believe it?"
The village chief glanced at him angrily and said, "Even if you're not pregnant, try your best. You've been married for quite some time, so it's time for you to have a child."
"I……"
The village chief's words left Lu Xiaobai speechless, as if no matter whether he explained or not, this matter had to be settled in their eyes.
Suddenly, Lu Xiaobai curled her lips and tears flowed down.
Just then, He Qin came back with a wooden basin and two fish in his hand.
Lu Xiaobai instantly forgot the embarrassment of last night, ran over, grabbed He Qin's arm and said, "He Qin, they all said I'm pregnant, can you go and explain it?"
He Qin turned around with a dark expression on his face. "What's the explanation? Explain why we haven't had our wedding night yet after being married for so long? By then, do you think your reputation will be even worse?"
Yes, he almost forgot that in ancient times, if a new bride had not lost her virginity to her husband, it meant that the husband despised her, did not like her, or even hated her.
The daughter-in-law will also have a bad reputation and will be looked down upon by others, but being pregnant will make everyone like and envy her...
Lu Xiaobai: ...
It’s so difficult. It’s so difficult to be a human being in ancient times.
Lu Xiaobai stood there feeling wronged, but He Qin had already walked up to the village chief with the fish in his hand. He handed a smaller fish to the village chief and said, "I caught it in the river."
The village chief looked at the fish in front of him in surprise and said, "This, this is fine with me. There's no need to apologize again and again."
He Qin didn't answer him. He just turned around and glanced at Lu Xiaobai, who was crying out of grievance, and whispered, "Xiaobai is not pregnant. He just felt a little uncomfortable yesterday and had a poor appetite, so he vomited."
He Qindu explained it personally, but the village chief still didn't believe it: "That's impossible. Aren't these the symptoms of pregnancy? You should pay attention to it. It's best to find a doctor to see him."
He Qin nodded: "I understand."
Although it was a bit of a shame, the village chief still said with hope: "But if you're not pregnant, don't worry, you will get pregnant sooner or later anyway. But I came to you today, not only to provide nutrition for Xiaobai, but also to borrow two people from you. The village is slaughtering a pig today, and I need two young and strong men to help."
"Killing pigs?"
He Qin had never seen a pig being slaughtered, and his curiosity was instantly aroused.
The village chief nodded and said, "Yes, everyone is poor these days. We can't even eat enough and can't afford to raise pigs. So the whole village raised one pig and all the dishwashing water was pooled to feed the pig. It was killed before the New Year and distributed to the whole village. Even though you haven't raised a pig before, if you contribute, you can still get a share of the meat."
He Qin looked at the still grumbling Silly Brother and nodded slightly, saying, "Give us the lean meat."
"Can."
The village chief nodded in confusion.
Nowadays, everyone likes fatty meat. Not only can it be eaten, but it can also be used to make oil for cooking. A pound of fatty meat can be eaten for a long time.
But lean meat...
But it also depends on personal preference. Since He Qin likes it, just give him more.
After saying hello, the village chief went back.
He Qin also came in and hung up the small pants. Lu Xiaobai, who was crying outside the door while watching He Qin work, had a very red face and sat at the door, not wanting to go in.
Ling San cleaned up the kitchen and went out to see He Qin. He quickly went over to take down the fish hanging on the bamboo pole and asked in a low voice: "Master, the New Year is coming soon. The work in the fields is done. After a few days of hunting, we will have some free time. Do you still need to expand the house?"
Expanding your home?
He Qin subconsciously looked at Lu Xiaobai. He remembered that when he first came, he felt that the room was too crowded, so he planned to expand and renovate it after a while.
But from now on, if they expand, won’t he and Lu Xiaobai have to sleep in separate rooms?
"No expansion, just leave it as it is. At most, build a shed, prepare some extra things for the New Year, fill it up, and make sure there's absolutely no sign of habitation."
Sleep separately?
That's impossible!
It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t like him now. Sooner or later, he will make Lu Xiaobai willingly give birth to his child.
"yes."
…
Lu Xiaobai was sitting on a rock enjoying the cool breeze when suddenly someone appeared beside him. He was so scared that he turned around and wanted to run, but someone swiftly grabbed his collar and pulled him back: "I won't touch you if I say I won't touch you, why are you hiding from me?"
Being pulled by He Qin, Lu Xiaobai lost his strength and bumped into He Qin's chest. He felt even more embarrassed when he heard what He Qin said, and his face turned red.
Don't touch him?
It was so excessive in the dream, but he still didn't do anything. He didn't believe it!
Besides, what he is worried about now is the pregnancy, okay?
However, he also figured out a solution. A few days later, he went out and said that he had caught a cold and his stomach was cold, so he vomited.
Anyway, except when pregnant or sick, he cannot say that eating fatty meat makes him feel sick and vomit, otherwise, he will be hated by the people here.
Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, and his face was red and he looked embarrassed, He Qin suppressed a smile and asked: "Could it be that you are not worried about whether I will touch you, but because of the dream last night?" !!!
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai raised his head suddenly: "What, what, what nonsense are you talking about, I didn't dream about you!"
"Yeah?"
He Qin let go of him, sat down beside him, propped up his hands, and said innocently, "But I clearly heard you calling my name, saying 'He Qin, hurry up, faster...' What a pity! I thought about it for half the night and still couldn't figure it out. What on earth were you saying to me to hurry up?"
"No, impossible!"
Lu Xiaobai retorted with a red face, struggling to get out of He Qin's arms.
He dreamed last night that He Qin forced him to do that kind of thing. Although he was very scared, he didn't understand why he felt that way.
But he definitely didn't say anything like 'He Qin, hurry up', that was absolutely impossible.
"impossible?"
Seeing the little guy in his arms struggling, He Qin not only did not let go, but instead rubbed Lu Xiaobai's belly and said: "Then you held your belly last night,..."
Before He Qin could finish his words, Lu Xiaobai pushed him away: "I didn't, I didn't, shut up!"
Lu Xiaobai suddenly burst out with strength, pushing the defenseless He Qin to the ground, and even bravely kicked him hard in the leg: "You only know how to bully me with nonsense, I'll kick you to death!"
He Qin is the head of the family. Lu Xiaobai kicked him just because he was extremely angry. After kicking him, he became afraid, took a few steps back in panic, and turned around to run towards the village chief's house.
A few people came back from hunting, carrying pheasants, rabbits and other small animals and stood in the distance, watching the whole process.
They had originally planned to wait until He Qin took Lu Xiaobai in before going over, but they didn't expect things to develop to this point.
They looked at He Qin, who was half lying on the ground with his arms, and were even more afraid to move forward.
Ling Si was stunned for a moment and said, "How about we hide for a while and wait for the master to get up before we go over?"
Ling Er turned around quickly: "Hurry up and leave, don't let the master know we saw us, or he will be angry and punish me again!"
Lingyi also nodded, and the three of them turned around and ran away with their things.
He Qin, who was kicked by Lu Xiaobai, was still sitting on the ground. Looking at the silly boy's hurried back, he actually wanted to laugh.
He raised his hand and touched the corner of his mouth and said, "This little thing is getting bolder and bolder!"
