Because of Zhou Yun's family next door, the Fu family has developed the habit of closing the door when eating.
Hearing the noise outside, Fu's mother, who was sitting by the door, responded quickly and got up to open the door.
Everyone looked outside.
Standing at the door was the male educated youth in the yard, Wu Shuhua.
The educated youth went to the countryside at different times. Wu Shuhua was one of the earliest to come to the Shi Nian Zi Team and was also the elder brother of these educated youth.
Normally, he is the one who organizes and discusses everything, so this time he must have come here for something.
Fu Wangshan knew that he was honest and dutiful, so he said, "Shuhua, do you want to come in and sit down?"
Wu Shuhua showed an honest smile: "No, uncle, aunt, I will let you know if there is anything."
"What is it?"
"It's like this," Wu Shuhua said, "The autumn harvest is almost done, so we thought that every afternoon we would go to the mountains to pick up some firewood."
After a pause, he explained: "This is used for boiling water and cooking. Now the firewood behind the kitchen is almost gone."
The educated youths shared the kitchen and firewood. Before, the Fu and Yang families would grab them whenever they came, so it was no big deal if they used some.
But now the firewood is running out, and the family will need it together, so of course both of them have to go up the mountain to collect firewood.
Otherwise other educated youth may have opinions.
Considering Jiang Yuman's physical condition, Wu Shuhua also specifically told her that she didn't have to go.
Fu Wangshan nodded: "Okay, how long will it take?"
"In a little while, we will bark in the yard."
"Okay." The Fu family had no objection.
Because Wu Shuhua still had to go and inform the Yang family, he said a few more polite words and then left.
Mother Fu closed the door and continued to sit in her seat to eat.
Fu Haitang said while eating a meat bun: "Mom and Dad, I heard from the villagers that it is very cold here in winter, and we have to heat the kang when we go out."
After the winter wheat is planted, there is nothing to do for the whole winter. I just stay at home and doze off all day.
If the kang is not heated, everything inside and outside the house will be frozen into ice sculptures.
"There is no kang in our room." Jiang Yuman mentioned this.
The houses in the educated youth sites were all built casually by the villagers to accommodate the educated youth after the policy of sending educated youth to the countryside was implemented.
Where can I get a kang?
As for the kangs in the rooms of other educated youth, they were made by themselves after they went to the countryside.
Fu Wangshan said solemnly: "After these few days of work, we will quickly repair the kang."
The whole family was busy with work and had no attention on this.
Mother Fu also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we are fine, but when our grandchildren are born, how can they withstand the cold?"
Of course, not only babies, but also girls who have just given birth will not suffer from the cold.
Postpartum illness is a lifelong problem.
"Can you do it?" Fu Haitang asked curiously.
Mother Fu said unhappily, "When your father was stationed in the cold border area with his troops, he did everything himself."
Fu Wangshan made the final decision: "Even if you can't remember some parts clearly, just ask Zhenjiang."
As a native of this place, Yao Zhenjiang should be able to do it.
As winter is approaching, this matter cannot be delayed any longer and must be completed as soon as possible.
Fu Jingchen obviously thought so too, and went to Xiao Yao's house after dinner.
When it comes to his wife and children, he is the one who cares most.
When Yao Zhenjiang heard his purpose, he said, "I know how to do this, don't worry, brother Chen, I'll help you after we get food from the public office."
Fu Jingchen nodded: "Thank you very much."
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Yao Zhenjiang said as he let his daughter lie on his shoulder and patted her back gently.
The baby in confinement was very small, not much bigger than his hand.
It happened that the little girl was crying at this time, and seeing him in a hurry, Fu Jingchen went back home.
In the room, Jiang Yuman was knitting with a needle.
She can't make clothes, but she can knit, which is also quite simple.
Looking up and seeing Fu Jingchen coming in, he asked, "Did you ask? Can he do it?"
Fu Jingchen said "hmm".
"That's good." Jiang Yuman breathed a sigh of relief. If the kang was turned up, she wouldn't have to worry about the child being frozen in winter.
At this time, she had just finished weaving a row, so she picked up the long scarf and wrapped it around Fu Jingchen's neck.
I want to see how many circles you make.
The man was very tall, so she had to stand on tiptoe.
Fu Jingchen cooperated and lowered his head slightly, with a smile in his eyes: "Are you weaving it for me?"
"What else?" Jiang Yuman was a little uncomfortable: "This color is so dark, who is it woven for?"
"I thought it was for children."
Jiang Yuman tried it and found that it only formed a circle. She said casually, "We don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet. Even if I want to prepare it for a child, I won't use black."
There is so much yarn in her space, and without knowing her gender, she must have prepared yellow.
"It should be a daughter." Fu Jingchen hugged her gently.
Jiang Yuman immediately looked up at him, "How did you know?"
It is said that women will have prenatal dreams during pregnancy, and sometimes these dreams will also indicate the gender of the fetus.
But she had never had such a dream before.
Could it be that Fu Jingchen was dreaming?
Fu Jingchen's smile deepened: "I want a daughter." If my daughter looks like my wife, I don't know how lovely she would be.
Sometimes he would pat and comfort his daughter gently like Yao Zhenjiang did.
Jiang Yuman coughed twice and said, "That depends on whether you are competitive or not." She also liked little girls.
While speaking, he reached out and tried to take off the scarf around Fu Jingchen's neck.
When I looked up and saw that superior appearance and doting eyes, I couldn't help but pull him by the apron.
Fu Jingchen quickly understood what his wife meant.
Jiang Yuman didn't need to move at all, his hot breath touched the corners of her lips.
Once, twice.
Finally, he held the back of her head with his hands, not giving her any chance to dodge.
It finally ended.
Jiang Yuman quickly pushed him away, breathing in the air, her face flushed.
Staring at Fu Jingchen.
"I like this scarf very much." Fu Jingchen touched the scarf around his neck with a smile in his eyes.
Jiang Yuman raised her chin slightly, raised her eyebrows and snorted, "I wove it myself, how dare you not like it?"
Fu Jingchen was happy to let her go: "I dare not."
This is also true.
Touching the scarf woven by his wife himself, he was happier than when he first received the military medal.
"That's more like it." Jiang Yuman withdrew her gaze with satisfaction.
Take the scarf back and continue weaving.
Soon, Wu Shuhua's voice was heard outside, asking the family to gather.
Everyone came out one after another, including the educated youth, the Fu family and Zhou Yun's family.
There were three people who went to Zhou Yun's house, including the couple and old man Yang, while Mrs. Cai stayed at home to take care of her grandson.
When Wu Shuhua saw them all gathered, he took them up the mountain.
The yard suddenly became quiet.
Normally at this time, Jiang Yuman would stay at home and take a nap.
But she had other plans that day.
The team was about to distribute food. After the food was distributed, there would be nothing to do, and it would be inconvenient to take out the things in the space.
So she planned to take a donkey cart to the commune supply and marketing cooperative again to buy some things from the space and bring them back.
Anyway, Lingzhi was placed in her space, so she didn't have to stay at home, so there was nothing to worry about.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuman locked the door and walked out. Without noticing, a pair of eyes kept looking over here, watching her walk away——
