The time when Zhuang Xiaolan became pregnant was about the same as Chu Qi expected.
In the original plot, Zhuang Xiaolan also gave birth to her first child one year after marriage.
Since then, Zhuang Xiaolan has never been pregnant, and the village barefoot doctor has helped to check her.
A simple pulse diagnosis led to the conclusion that she was very tired during her pregnancy and was not able to take good care of herself after giving birth, which resulted in her body becoming ill and that's why she was unable to get pregnant.
The first child and also Zhuang Xiaolan's only child.
The original owner believed that continuing the family line was something only a son could do, so he was very cold to his only daughter.
Later, I just left and used this as an excuse to comfort myself:
Anyway, Zhuang Xiaolan didn't give birth to a son for him, so it was only natural for him to leave.
After returning to the city, the original owner worked hard and married a city woman through an introduction from someone else. After years of hard work, his wife still did not give birth to a son for him.
The couple quarreled about this for many years, until medical care developed and knowledge about fertility became popular.
The original owner made up his mind to check his body----
The doctor told him that the gender of the baby is determined by the man, and his wife is in good health, so it is his problem that she cannot conceive a son.
The original owner suddenly felt like the sky was falling, but unfortunately, a year later his wife gave birth to a son.
He was suspicious and thought it was a bastard. He was sarcastic to his wife during the confinement period, but he did not dare to go to the hospital for a paternity test.
The hatred during confinement is irreconcilable, and of course the wife cannot tolerate it: Who isn’t the little princess at home?
If it weren't for your good looks, would I marry you?
The wife hated the original owner so much that she filed for divorce from him after the confinement period and returned to her parents' home with her two daughters and newborn son.
The original owner didn't go to the hospital for a paternity test until she got divorced.
After identification, it was confirmed that the son was his biological son.
The moment the original owner received the report, he felt extremely remorseful. He went to look for his ex-wife in a humble manner, said a lot of nice things, and worked like a slave, and finally won his wife back.
However, his ex-wife had already broken up with him. She agreed to come back but did not agree to remarry. For the sake of his children, the original owner endured the humiliation and supported his ex-wife.
When he was getting old, the original owner thought of the country girl who had worked hard for him and never complained about him. He finally remembered the good things about the country girl Zhuang Xiaolan...

At first, Zhuang Xiaolan didn't realize she was pregnant at all, because generally, a pregnant woman's pregnancy will only start to show after three months, and the difference will only be obvious after four or five months.
Three months ago, it is difficult to detect unless there are early pregnancy symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
But Zhuang Xiaolan is in good health and enjoys everything she eats. Is she nauseated by morning sickness?
Does not exist.
There is another way to identify it, which is to see whether the menstrual period has arrived.
Unfortunately, Zhuang Xiaolan's period is different from the usual once-a-month period.
She comes quarterly, that is, she only comes once every three months or so...
This is even more noticeable.
About two months later, Zhuang Xiaolan noticed that her period had not come, and she told Chu Qi about it.
Chu Qi took her to see a doctor for pulse diagnosis, and the doctor said that Zhuang Xiaolan was three months pregnant.
Zhuang Xiaolan's face changed and she suddenly looked at Chu Qi anxiously.
The latter responded with a question mark: "?"
The doctor asked, "You don't seem very happy?"
"No..." Zhuang Xiaolan stammered, blushing and whispering:
"We...slept together a few days ago. Will this have any effect on the baby?"
Doctor: "It's fine now, but you should be more careful in the future. It's best not to have sex during pregnancy."
If you must have sex, it is best to wait until four months later, and be careful not to be too intense. Also, do not have sex after seven months, as the early and late stages of pregnancy are the most dangerous. Remember this, Chu Zhiqing?"
He looked at Chu Qi, and the next few words were completely spoken to the man.
Chu Qi said seriously: "I understand."
Doctor: "Come, let me tell you some things to pay attention to during pregnancy..."
After coming out of the doctor's house, the couple looked at each other and smiled, unable to hide their joy.
Zhuang Xiaolan couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her still flat belly. She couldn't believe that there was a little life growing inside.
It's her and Chu Qi's child.
“It’s like a dream.”
Zhuang Zhuang Xiaolan murmured.
"You should take good rest while you are pregnant. Don't work for now. I will take care of you."
Chu Qi held his wife's hand.
Although Chu Qi had supported her before, she didn't do it completely. Zhuang Xiaolan worked diligently every day and couldn't eat very much, but she could still manage to have two meals a day.
Now that Chu Qi doesn't let her go to work, it all depends on Chu Qi.
Zhuang Xiaolan doesn't want to rest so early: "The doctor said I can exercise after four to seven months, and now it's more than three months... I can rest for a month and then go back to work for a few months."
"We'll talk about it later. Now, I'll take you to see Captain Wang for registration."
Chu Qi and Zhuang Xiaolan went to Captain Wang to explain the situation. Captain Wang did not make things difficult for them and approved a one-month vacation.

In an era when every household ate from the same big pot, individual business owners were not allowed to raise poultry privately, and even vegetables had to be handed over, but there was also the concept of private plots.
So every household has vegetables to eat.
There aren't many vegetables, so we have to eat them sparingly.
Rice is harvested twice a year, and each harvest is divided according to the amount. The large portion is handed over to the higher authorities, and the small portion is divided among the farmers.
The grain production is not much to begin with, and after the bulk of it is handed over, the remaining grain is even scarcer.
It is distributed per person, and each person can get ten kilograms of rice in half a year.
Together with other miscellaneous sweet potatoes, potatoes and vegetables, we could barely get by by living frugally.

Chu Qi's parents' salary has increased a bit, keeping up with the pace of the times. They have now escaped from the ranks of the "poor", can have enough food and clothing, and have more surplus food to support their eldest son.
However, the surplus food was not much, not enough to support Chu Qi's goal of making his family live a comfortable life.
The crackdown is not so severe at the moment. As long as you apply, you can go into the city to buy things.
Chu Qi's mind became active.
She wanted to supplement her family income by reselling goods.
Chu Qi took advantage of the weekend to set up more traps at the mass grave.
Because I haven't been there to grill fish for a long time, the small open space that was cleared was covered with weeds again.
From a distance, there was no sign that anyone had been there, but there was a particularly obvious path, which was the mountain path that Chu Qi had taken.
The more traps you make, the more adept you become at setting them.
Chu Qi tried hard to recall the traps taught by the wilderness survival master, and improved them through countless trials and errors. Finally, one day, he successfully hunted a wild boar.
This wild boar is not very big, weighing more than 100 pounds, and it is definitely not enough for a family to eat it all in one go.
After carrying the wild boar home, Chu Qi and Zhuang Aiguo talked about speculating.
