Chapter 330 Believable
"Okay, Mom."
The dinner was very sumptuous, with rabbit, pork, and venison, and the whole family enjoyed the meal very much.
Worried that babies would eat too much greasy food, I would chop up the lean meat and make it into meat for them to eat, so they don’t have to worry about having diarrhea from eating too much greasy food.
Since the Ming Dynasty, everyone has stopped hiding in the house, so they can take their babies to play around in the village. Although there is firewood sent by everyone in the backyard, it is definitely not enough to get through the whole winter. In winter, when heating the kang, you need to burn more firewood, and the firewood needed increases exponentially.
The next morning, Tang Yue woke up, washed up, and sat in the living room with everyone to eat breakfast. Then she said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, I'll put the herbs and water in place. When the time comes, you can help me boil them. I'm going to go to the mountains to chop more firewood."
When Zhao's mother heard that her daughter-in-law wanted to go to the mountains to work, she thought that she could go alone!
"I'll go with you later. We can work faster if we have two of us. We need to prepare more firewood for the winter."
"Mom, no, you just stay at home and watch over the kids. I'm pretty fast, so I just need to chop more. If I have enough firewood by then, I'll go to the commune and buy some coal. It will be enough for the winter."
Seeing that her daughter-in-law didn't want her to go, Zhao's mother was also worried about the children at home. She felt relieved without her watching over them, so she agreed and said, "Then you should pay more attention to your safety."
After breakfast, I put away the medicine and spiritual water, said goodbye to my family, and set out with a hatchet.
Tang Yue was going to chop wood, so she didn't go very far. After walking for about half an hour, she found a place with a lot of dry wood.
Without further ado, I picked up the hatchet and started chopping dry branches. After collecting all the branches from this large area, there were only two hatches left. It seemed that I had to move to another place later.
Tang Yue was already very satisfied with these two swords. After all, there were so many hardworking people in the village, and there couldn't be more.
I cut a longer stick to use as a shoulder pole and carried two bundles of firewood down the mountain. When I got home, I checked the time and found that it took me almost two hours to do the round trip.
Seeing that it was still early, Tang Yue prepared to climb the mountain again, this time in a different direction.
This past week, Tang Yue had been stopping by the mountains to chop firewood, making two trips in the afternoon and one in the afternoon. Fortunately, she managed to make a large bundle each time, and put the firewood she brought back in the backyard. Thinking that the sun was strong these days, she would let it dry for a few days before putting it in the woodshed.
For the next week, Tang Yue spent her time collecting firewood. Whenever she came across dead trees on the mountain, she would bring them back using her space-time dimensional space. When they were almost at the door, she would release them and slowly drag them back home. No one would suspect anything.
She went out early and came back late every day this week, and the firewood shed was already two-thirds full. The remaining one-third was 1/3. She planned to bring back a bundle every time she went to the mountains, so that she would not have to worry about running out of firewood.
This morning I heard the loudspeaker of the brigade headquarters sounding very early. I heard that the autumn harvest seemed to have started. Seeing that the sun was so bright, I thought the autumn harvest should be smooth.
I haven't been to the chestnut forest for more than a week. I don't know if the chestnuts there are ripe. Tang Yue plans to go and take a look. If they are ripe, I will bring them back. If not, I will go and chop some firewood.
The team leader here frowned as he looked at the people working slowly in the fields. In the past, those old ladies worked very hard, but how come there are more than a dozen people who are all slowing down?
You have to know that these people usually work very hard, and they are not the kind of people who would be lazy. When they went back to eat at noon, they said to their wife: "Guihua, go ask them why they are all dawdling, is it because they feel comfortable? If they are really comfortable, I am also a kind person, and it is okay for them to take a break for a few days."
Aunt Guihua didn't even raise her head when she heard this. "I know what's going on. Those people think they are pregnant and are worried that being too tired will hurt the baby in their belly, so they work so slowly."
The captain looked very unbelievable. You know, there are women in their 40s among them, and in the village, very few women have children after the age of 40.
"So they're all pregnant. Where did you hear that? I haven't heard their husbands talk about this either."
"They got the medicine from Yueyue. I heard that Yueyue has a secret recipe. I think Yueyue seems like a reliable person. Maybe her secret recipe really works. It's been almost half a month since I took the medicine. It's harvest time. I'm worried that I'm too tired. I don't know when I'll die, so I don't dare to fight as hard as usual."
The captain lost his temper after hearing this. "Why is that girl always causing trouble? Can't we wait until after the autumn harvest to drink the secret recipe? After the autumn harvest, they can rest as they want. Those old ladies are really stupid. Why are they in such a hurry?"
Aunt Osmanthus silently rolled her eyes at the old man. He was in a hurry to have another child. That's fine. You are short of a child at home, and you must feel that others are short of one too!
After a long while, the captain suddenly looked up at his wife and said, "You didn't drink that secret recipe, did you? We are both old and can't stand the hardship."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why do I need so many children? Are you trying to piss me off? I was wrong to raise my current child. I still want a child. Am I sick?"
The captain was relieved to see that his wife was lying, but at the same time, he felt a little regretful that he had never had a daughter in his life.
"You said Yueyue had a secret recipe for giving birth to a baby. Do you have a secret recipe for giving birth to a girl?"
The captain knew that he had said what he wanted to say, and when he realized what he had said, he quickly shut up and said, "I didn't say anything."
Aunt Guihua looked at her old man, who was stubborn and didn't argue with him. However, she was thinking about what the old man had just said.
It does seem right to have a daughter, but when I think about my age, I'm almost 50, how can I still give birth to a daughter?
To put it another way, even if the baby could be born, it would only stimulate the old couple to live until their daughter grows up, so they quickly gave up the idea.
Tang Yue may know that Osmanthus Bamboo Shoots has such a dangerous idea, but even if she knew her idea, she would definitely tell her no. After all, she is already very old. It must be a joke. Elderly mothers are very dangerous in modern times, not to mention in this era with such poor medical conditions.
