It is indeed good to have a complete family.
We cannot say that the country is far away from the emperor, but it is true that information is scarce.
This is not the first time that Hong Gu has come to Yushudun. This place is now thriving and life is much more comfortable than in the city.
She was able to get a lot of delicious snacks when supplies were scarce, all thanks to her hoarding habit.
When living alone, there is always an inexplicable sense of crisis.
Moreover, apart from doing these things to pass the time, she couldn't find anything else to do. She lived in a daze every day, taking each day as it came.
Meeting Zhao Wei was like salvation, and his spirit and energy changed immediately.
She treated everyone in the Zhao family as her own family, and returning here now felt as comfortable as returning to her own home.
When he learned that Yunxiu was pregnant, he quickly took out the dried apricots from his bamboo basket.
"Tell me, isn't this just a coincidence? I don't have anything in my room, but I have a lot of dried apricots. I prepared several kilograms."
"It was originally prepared as a snack for the old lady during her afternoon tea. It's just right for the young lady to eat now."
As he said that, he grabbed a handful and gave it to Yunxiu, making her blush.
This is the first time I’ve heard the title of “young madam” in my life. Is this a title worthy of a girl like her who was born in a poor family?
Besides, this is a new society. If people hear her calling her that, she'll be in trouble.
"Auntie Hong, you don't have to be so polite. Please don't call me Young Madam anymore. We are in the countryside. People will gossip when they hear this."
"If you don't mind, just call me Yunxiu like they do."
Hong Gu was also a cautious person, and quickly nodded and said, "I didn't think it through, and I almost made a mistake again. I will listen to you and call you whatever you want."
Zhao Wei nodded: "From now on, don't call me Young Master or Master anymore. Just call me Zhao Wei, call me Grandpa Lao Zhao, and call me Dad Zhao Yong! Just call me by my name, and don't use those messy titles anymore."
"Okay, okay, I'll do as the Romans do. That's it, hehe..."
Hong Gu agreed readily, but she couldn't hide the embarrassment on her face.
Yes, it is a bit difficult for a person who has lived like this since she was young and suddenly asks to change when she is old.
"Aunt Hong, please don't take it to heart. Really, our whole family treats you as a relative. From now on, I will treat you as my own aunt."
"This title is just to prevent outsiders from making irresponsible remarks. If they then fabricate some unfounded charges against us, that would not be worth it, don't you think?"
The whole family followed Zhao Wei to comfort her, and it can be said that they did so from the bottom of their hearts.
Hong Gu was a little moved and wiped her tears: "I won't think too much, I will definitely change this bad habit, you are all right, I won't cause you any trouble..."
It seems that she can't get out of this dilemma for a while, but time is long, and if they spend more time with her and correct her, things will get better.
But when Zhao Wei led Yunxiu back to his yard and was happily eating dried apricots and talking about some irrelevant love words between husband and wife, someone came and interrupted the relaxed atmosphere.
"Oh no, President, we just arrested several people. You should go and take a look."
Zhao Wei frowned. Why did this happen suddenly? What was the purpose?
He scratched his hair irritably and said to Yunxiu, "You should rest first. Taking care of the baby is more important. Don't worry about anything else. I'll take care of the outside matters."
Yunxiu now felt that the dried apricots were no longer tasty and could only watch Zhao Wei run away in a hurry, taking the wolf, the God of War, away.
Oh, I hope nothing happens again.
How could she possibly sleep?
When I arrived at the yard, I saw Wang Caigu and Zhao Yong standing in the yard.
It was obvious that he would not rest until Zhao Wei came back.
Seeing Yunxiu running out, the two hurriedly asked her to go back to her room. Yunxiu said helplessly, "It's too hot in the room. I don't feel comfortable staying here. It's cooler in the yard."
Wang Caigu slapped her forehead suddenly and said, "It's like this, pregnant women are more afraid of heat."
"Oh...it's too hot this damn day. I don't know when it will get cooler. It's been hot for several months and it's unbearable."
The heat is rising, and there seems to be no other way to cool down except drinking herbal tea and eating popsicles.
There is no electricity in the village, and there are no electric fans, so even if you buy one, it won’t work.
I can only use a palm-leaf fan, which only blows out hot air, but it's better than nothing.
Everyone was enduring this. Yunxiu suddenly felt that this baby came at the wrong time, and she didn't know if things would be better when she gave birth.
While you are feeling sentimental, you may get bitten by mosquitoes several times.
You can't stop beating them even if you keep hitting them.
Their yard is considered to be relatively clean, but the problem of dense mosquitoes is still unavoidable.
If it were usual, they would light mugwort in the yard to drive them away.
But this trick doesn’t work now, because the mugwort has been burned and it won’t grow again unless it rains.
Not to mention mugwort, there is not even a single usable grass to be found in the surrounding mountains and forests.
It will take at least a year or two to recover from this wildfire.
It is said that even a good cook cannot cook without rice.
Even if Zhao Wei has thousands of recipes to prevent mosquitoes, he can't create an insect repellent out of nothing, right?
Just when the family was swatting mosquitoes until they were tired, Zhao Wei came back soon.
When everyone asked, they found out that the matter was not serious. After the other party was caught, he quickly confessed that he just came to steal food and was sent for reform.
In those days, although the work of reform was very tiring, at least there was food to eat and one would not starve to death.
These people can be said to have gotten what they wanted.
Zhao Wei didn't say who they were, and there was no need to say it, as it would only add to his troubles.
It was only when I saw a few people scratching their heads that I realized that there were an outrageous number of mosquitoes in the yard.
He suddenly remembered something and looked towards the kitchen: "Oh, by the way, can we use those wild flowers that Aunt Hong dried when she came back to boil some water? Applying them on the body can also keep away mosquitoes."
"Huh? Is this possible?"
Yunxiu's eyes lit up, "Auntie Hong is such a treasure, everything she brings is so useful!"
As she was talking, Wang Caigu came out with a small glass bottle with a blurry trademark on it: "This is it. I'll go boil some water. Yunxiu, would you like to try it?"
Yunxiu was about to answer when Zhao Yong stopped her: "She's pregnant, what if this thing excites her?"
"I think I'd better use aromatherapy."
Wang Caigu finally realized what was happening and took the bottle back in annoyance: "Look at me, I was just so happy that I didn't think about anything else."
