Chapter 3016 Output
The Bai family was also reading the letter written by Bai Shan. Not long after Mrs. Liu unfolded the letter, she couldn't help but stand up.
Zheng couldn't help but move closer to take a look, "What's wrong?"
Madam Liu couldn't help but stroke her chest and said, "Wulian Tianzun, it's a happy event, a great happy event, Manbao is pregnant."
Zheng's eyes widened and she quickly pulled the letter over to read.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu and the others were overjoyed and immediately shouted out their congratulations, "Congratulations, Madam, and Madam."
The Bai family was filled with joy.
Madam Liu couldn't help but smile, her eyes narrowed as she said happily, "We're still young, so we can't tell anyone about this. It's best if we just know about it. Oh, and I have to tell my in-laws that when Zhishan and the others went to Qingzhou, they thought too many people would be troublesome, so they only brought a few servants with them. He's the only one who's sensible among them, but I'm afraid she doesn't know as much as Manbao. I'll send two people to her and the others later."
Madam Liu looked at Nanny Liu, wanting her to go but reluctant to let her go. Then she looked at Zheng, "Do you miss Zhishan and the others? Do you want to go see them?"
Zheng's eyes lit up, "I, can I?"
Madam Liu smiled and said, "Of course you can. You are their mother, and it just so happens that one of them is busy with the affairs of the county government, and the other is busy with the affairs of the medical department. You can go over and help them."
Of course, Zheng cannot take care of others, but the people around her can.
Madam Liu smiled and said, "Bring both Lanxiang and Ouhe with you this time."
Ouhe was Zheng's maid who came with her dowry. Her child was not young anymore and she had long been the housekeeper, mainly responsible for managing Zheng's dowry.
Among the maids that Zheng brought as dowry, she is the only one who is still with her. The others have either gone back to manage the farm or married off. The only one left behind, Ouhe, is very capable.
Lanxiang was given to her by Old Lady Liu after she got married, and she has been serving her personally ever since. Even now, after she got married and had children, the maids around Zheng had changed twice, but Lanxiang has always been by her side, taking care of the affairs in the house for her.
Madam Liu smiled and said, "Lanxiang has learned how to take care of pregnant women, and has also learned cooking from Aunt Rong. She has also watched Manbao grow up. If you take her with you, Manbao will be more familiar with it."
Zheng thought about it and nodded repeatedly: "I will listen to mother."
"I still have to tell my in-laws. I wonder if they'll ask anyone to come over..."
The Zhou family was also delighted to hear the good news. Old Zhou walked around the yard twice and asked Qian, "Should we go take a look?"
Qian clenched her fists in surprise, but calmed down when Old Zhou asked her. She shook her head and said, "What can we do if we go? Manbao and the others have to spare some energy to take care of us. Besides, if my mother-in-law wants to go, and we go too, if there is a conflict, will Manbao listen to us or the other side?"
Qingzhou is different from the capital. I heard that they live in the backyard of the county government office. The yard is not big, unlike here in the capital. Each family has its own door and yard. Even the way out can be divided into the left and right doors. Once the corner door on the corridor is closed, they are two families, so there is no conflict, but rather they seem close.
If I go there, I'll see them everywhere. Not to mention my in-laws, even she would get angry when she sees the lazy old Zhou wandering around, so I decided not to go.
but……
Qian thought for a moment and said, "Ask the eldest lady and see if she's willing to go over. Manbao is pregnant, and her tastes might have changed. She grew up eating her eldest sister-in-law's cooking, and the food in Qingzhou might not suit her taste. It would be a good idea to let her go over and take care of her for a while."
Xiao Qian was naturally willing.
If it were in the past, she might be afraid to travel far, but with the experience of going from Qili Village to the capital, she is not so afraid to go to an unfamiliar place again.
Qian instructed her, "When you get there, just take care of Manbao's diet. Come back after she gives birth."
Xiao Qian agreed.
When Old Lady Liu heard that Xiao Qian from the Zhou family was going with her, she knew she was going there for Manbao's food, so she said to Zheng, "When we get there, try to leave the kitchen matters to your sister-in-law. Fortunately, you two get along well."
Zheng has a good temper, and Xiao Qian also has a good temper. Not to mention the past few years they have lived together, even when they were in Qili Village, they had a good relationship. Old Lady Liu was not worried about them, not to mention that Bai Shan and Zhou Man were there.
"You are all women, so it's not convenient for you to follow the escort agency. I'll ask the village head to bring some people to take you there. The caravan at home is heading that way. It's harvest time, so maybe we can do some business there."
After Mrs. Liu made the arrangements, she informed the Zhou family.
Zhou Dalang and his son, who were busy with the autumn harvest, hurried back, bringing with them a cartload of rice seeds. Zhou Lizhong excitedly told Xiao Qianshi, "Mom, the rice seeds my aunt planted for me have finally grown. This is the Ding 233 seed, and this is the Xin 212 seed. The Ding 233 seed has a yield of seven dan this year, and the Xin 212 has a yield of six and a half dan!"
Mrs. Qian didn't react much and said, "Don't the seeds your aunt gave you often produce high yields? But you can't save them for seed."
After so many years, she has long been used to it.
Manbao would send a batch of seeds to Datou every three or four months. In the past few years, one batch of rice seeds even produced a yield of ten stones.
The yield per mu was ten dan. My father-in-law almost went crazy when they weighed it. But my aunt insisted on planting only one acre the next year. As a result, the rice produced by planting the best seeds they kept the next year was sparse. Not to mention the ten dan per mu of the previous year, it was even less than the two or three dan per mu of their old seeds, and it was also very attractive to insects.
This kind of thing happened frequently, and Xiao Qianshi knew it after so many times. Manbao wanted them to plant rice seeds that could be saved and have a stable yield.
Mrs. Qian remained unfazed, so Zhou Dalang explained on his son's behalf, "This Ding 233 seed is already in its third year. Last year's yield was even lower, only 6.7 kg. This year, with favorable weather, the extra ten kg is normal. Li Zhong said that this seed has been planted for three years since we got it, and the yield should be stable by now."
"It's the Xin 212 seeds," Zhou Dalang said, turning his head to glance at the sacks on the cart. "These seeds have only been planted for two years. According to Manbao, we need to plant them for another year to confirm. But we have left some seeds here. You can take these to them first and see if they can grow them in Qingzhou."
Zhou Lizhong nodded repeatedly, "Last time my aunt wrote back and asked me to save some seeds for her. My uncle-in-law has also designated a test field in Qingzhou and will test the seeds next year."
He handed a booklet to his mother and said with a smile, "Mother, this is the record of the Ding 233 and Xin 212 seeds. I copied them out separately. Please give them to my aunt."
See you tomorrow
