Shen Qingyu didn't know if she could give birth.
Even in the 21st century, in places with all kinds of technology and grueling work, there are still people who die from childbirth.
Moreover, in this era?
However, Shen Qingyu couldn't say, for fear that Qi Yunxiao would panic.
He couldn't do anything about this.
Shen Qingyu then calmly said, "You have to believe me."
Qi Yunxiao stared at Shen Qingyu for a long time before nodding and saying firmly, "I believe you."
"Daddy, hug me!" The clingy little one opened his arms.
Da Bao teased, "You're such a big person, why do you still need to be carried!"
Xiao Bao was indignant. He climbed onto his father while making faces at Da Bao: "I'm not big! I'm only seven years old! I'm still a little kid!"
Qi Yunxiao chuckled, picked up Xiaobao, and Shen Qingyu called for Dabao and Erbao to follow. The whole family walked neatly towards the courtyard.
As Qi Yunxiao passed by the patchwork of vegetable fields, he stopped in his tracks.
Shen Qingyu explained, "These were grown from seeds from outside, and they're growing quite well." Some of them are edible leaves, and we've harvested them several times already.
Da Bao and Er Bao immediately raised their hands: "Let's plant vegetables together!"
Qi Yunxiao reached out and patted Da Bao and Er Bao on the head: "You are both amazing!"
A chicken, clucking loudly, was startled and flew out of the vegetable garden, returning to the mountains.
Shen Qingyu added, "Five hundred chickens were free-range. They were all released into the mountains."
Raising chickens on the island is all about letting things take their course.
The chickens are all free-range on the mountain, and they are free to eat as much or as little as they want.
Chickens love to eat insects, which helps reduce the number of poisonous insects on the island.
Back in the courtyard, Qi Yunxiao noticed that all the houses in the valley looked different.
The wooden houses that were once built simply to provide shelter are now much cleaner and tidier.
The roof has been completely renovated, and the long and short wooden slats have been replaced with diamond-shaped tiles, one on top of the other, neat and beautiful.
The windows were all replaced with expensive glass windows!
Qi Yunxiao was secretly surprised: when Shen Qingyu asked him to send some glass over, he thought his wife was going to do something extraordinary, but now it turned out she was just trying to benefit her subordinates.
A piece of glass costs three taels of silver, a price that the powerful and wealthy in the capital would only be willing to spend on their studies, flower halls, the head of the family, and the direct descendants. But here, everyone, whether they are personal guards or hidden dragon guards, has one!
Before Qi Yunxiao could finish reading, the Hidden Dragon Guards and personal soldiers he encountered on the road bowed and saluted, their attitude showing more gratitude and closeness than before.
Qi Yunxiao was slightly taken aback and turned to look at Shen Qingyu.
Shen Qingyu smiled and said, "They're just grateful that you renovated their place!"
Qi Yunxiao understood.
So this was Shen Qingyu's doing.
These personal guards, the Hidden Dragon Guards, all took the blame upon themselves; no wonder their attitude was different from before.
In fact, not only the roof and windows were renovated, but all sorts of damaged areas were also repaired, and even the rough parts that affected usability were polished...
Even their bedding was replaced with new ones.
Shen Qingyu, as the boss's wife, was determined not to let the brothers who came to the island with her suffer.
Even after washing up and lying back in bed, Qi Yunxiao was still somewhat dazed.
He felt a sense of peace and reassurance that he hadn't experienced in a long time.
During my time on Liuli Island, I was busy during the day, but at night, I would think about Shen Qingyu, think about her like crazy.
Turning over, Qi Yunxiao pulled Shen Qingyu, who was sitting beside him, into his arms and took a deep breath.
The faint fragrance emanating from Shen Qingyu filled the air, and he sighed with satisfaction: I can finally rest easy!
It turns out that only when she's there can I truly relax completely...
Shen Qingyu was held silently by Qi Yunxiao. At first, she thought he just wanted to relax and be a little spoiled. But after only a short while, she found that Qi Yunxiao had fallen asleep with even breathing!
How could you fall asleep so quickly?!
Shen Qingyu was both amused and exasperated. After he fell asleep, she quietly untied his arm, turned around, and left the room, heading to her father's study next door.
Shen Zhongyi sat behind the table with an air of authority, writing something.
Zhao Yuzhu, who was leaning back in her chair, was reading a letter. There was also a dark object on the table.
Shen Qingyu curiously leaned closer to take a look. The thing was hard and slightly elastic. She paused for a moment and asked, "Dad, what is this?"
Shen Zhongyi: "Glue."
Zhao Yuzhu added: "Natural rubber."
It took Shen Qingyu a while to realize: "There are rubber trees here?"
Zhao Yuzhu smiled: "Yes."
This stuff is the main raw material for making tires and shoe soles!
If this industry develops, will we be entering the rubber era...?
Are we going to open a rubber factory?
Zhao Yuzhu smiled and shook her head: "Not for the time being."
Shen Zhongyi also raised his head: "Rubber factories belong to the chemical industry. They make great contributions to social development, but they also cause great pollution to the environment."
Shen Qingyu began to understand: Some money makes us happy and joyful, while other money makes us uneasy.
Since that's the case, it's better not to make any money.
However, the discovery of rubber was not entirely useless.
Shen Qingyu suggested, "Then why don't we make some sandals ourselves?"
Shen Zhongyi glanced at Shen Qingyu: "That's a good idea..."
Molding is easy, molds are easy, the difficult part is high-temperature vulcanization and setting...
The rubber also needs to be vulcanizing agents and various chemical raw materials added, and then it is shaped at high temperature.
However, additives don't exist in this era!
Instead of wasting time on this, you might as well go to the online store and buy a pair!
Shen Qingyu reluctantly put the matter aside and instead brought up the idea of ​​returning to Daqi.
Before she could even open her mouth, Zhao Yuzhu refused expressionlessly: "No way!"
Shen Qingyu pouted, "But Mother, I want to go back over there for a while. Staying on the island every day is so boring..."
Zhao Yuzhu glanced at Shen Qingyu: "Don't you have any idea what your physical condition is like right now? Can't you even run around like that?"
Shen Qingyu: "..."
What should I do if I suddenly feel like the baby in my belly is becoming a burden?
Fearing that she might overthink things, Zhao Yuzhu asked, "Where is Qi Yunxiao?"
Shen Qingyu: "She's asleep."
"You fell asleep as soon as you got back?"
Shen Qingyu: "I don't know what happened, I just finished taking a shower, and I was so sleepy that I fell asleep as soon as I lay down."
Shen Zhongyi, with an air of experience, said, "It's because you're tired outside. As soon as you get home, your mind relaxes and you immediately feel sleepy, so you fall asleep quickly."
Zhao Yuzhu agreed with this and immediately shifted her attention from her daughter's pregnancy plan to her son-in-law's rest.
"Then don't disturb him. Let him get enough sleep so he can relax after all that fatigue."
Shen Qingyu pouted: My own mother!
