A lot of things have been prepared in the cabinet where food is stored at home, including three baskets of eggs, a bag of millet, a few packets of brown sugar and white sugar, rice and flour, and a few bundles of noodles.
I have also made arrangements with other families and bought old hens from several houses, but they have not been caught yet. I will catch them and put them in the pot as soon as Jiang Mengxue gives birth.
The eggs laid during this period are not wanted, so those families are willing to raise them for a few more days.
Jiang Mengxue was a little embarrassed. Everyone had prepared the gifts, and she really didn't know what to give.
Finally, I prepared a can of malted milk and a bag of red dates, wolfberries, longans, red beans and kidney beans.
The ingredients for the Five Red Soup are also good for eating during the confinement period.
In fact, Li Cuiying wanted to ask Jiang Mengxue to keep the malted milk for herself, but when she saw that there was milk powder in Jiang Mengxue's box and she didn't need the malted milk, she didn't say anything.
Li Cuiying had never been vague when encountering such things before, but now she wanted to leave all the good things to Jiang Mengxue.
There is some difference in the degree of closeness of relationship. Compared with the children of the Gu family's eldest wife, Gu Qingbei, who they have raised since childhood, is of course more important.
Several people made an appointment that day. Early in the morning, Gu Zhenxing took Wang Daya, Gu Zhenjiang took Li Cuiying, and the four of them set off on two bicycles. Jiang Mengxue stayed at home.
Go early in the morning and you can still make it back in the afternoon.
Now the work in the team has come to an end and it is not as busy as it was in the past few months.
Everyone knows that Jiang Mengxue collects herbs here, so everyone who comes now goes up the mountain to collect herbs.
Jiang Mengxue couldn't get all the varieties, so after she processed them, she had them sent directly to the county's traditional Chinese medicine clinic. The money she earned was directly received by the brigade and distributed directly at the end of the year.
But Jiang Mengxue had to be a little busier. Sometimes she couldn't handle it alone, so she called Gu Yuyan, the little granddaughter of the third grandmother next door, to come over.
The little girl is sixteen years old and just graduated from junior high school this year. When she has nothing to do, she comes to help Jiang Mengxue and can also earn some work points.
Now I am familiar with Jiang Mengxue.
In addition to teaching her how to process and prepare Chinese medicinal materials, Jiang Mengxue would also teach her slowly when patients came to see her with problems.
Although I haven’t learned much yet, it’s never too late as long as I want to learn.
Now Gu Yuyan knows a lot about Chinese medicine. She only knows a little about taking pulses, but it's pretty good. Jiang Mengxue thinks she is quite talented.
"Sister-in-law, we already have enough herbs here. They're still going up the mountain to collect them. Should we continue? Maybe the city doesn't need so many. If we do, we'll be working in vain."
Gu Yuyan looked at the yard full of medicinal herbs drying in the sun and was really worried that Jiang Mengxue would be stuck with them. If she couldn't pay the members by the end of the year, no one would be willing to deliver any next year.
Jiang Mengxue rubbed her waist. She had been feeling that her stomach was particularly heavy recently, making it difficult for her to do things.
"That's fine. If the county doesn't accept it, we'll just send it to the city. The demand for Chinese medicinal herbs in our county and city is quite high, and what we've sent is only a small amount. It's not even enough."
In fact, the only time we can really go up the mountain to collect herbs is during these few months. When the autumn harvest comes, everyone has to be busy working in the fields and at home.
Then we have to prepare firewood for the winter, and the herbs are past their time.
So everyone wants to dig as much as possible in these few months so that they can get more money at the end of the year.
Jiang Mengxue looked at the sunny day outside and felt extremely fortunate that she was not living in the south.
No matter how strong the sun is in the north, you won’t feel too hot as long as you stand in the shade.
But in the south, it is always hot and humid. The sun is strong outside and you will feel the heat no matter where you stand, whether you are in the shade or in the room. You can't escape the heat no matter where you go.
Although it is summer now and the temperature outside can reach 30 degrees during the day, it is not very hot inside the house or in the shade.
Before, Jiang Mengxue was still worried that giving birth and confinement in the hot summer would be very difficult.
But looking at the current situation, it is not necessarily true. It is not uncomfortable to be in the house where it is neither too hot nor too cold, and it is not as cold as in winter.
Jiang Mengxue was home alone today, and she didn't plan to cook. She just took a portion of prepared food from her space and ate it.
I have been living with Li Cuiying and Gu Zhenjiang for the past few months, and the food in the space has never been touched.
Basically, Gu Qingbei didn’t eat enough during the day, so he would go into the space to have a snack at night.
Sometimes when Jiang Mengxue has free time at night, she will go to the space to do more and put it directly into a large thermos bucket.
The kittens have grown a lot in these few months in this space.
Dahei has been eating and drinking well recently, and his hair has become shiny and glossy.
Every time Gu Qingbei entered the space, he would find a few bones with meat for it to chew on. Now it is not even interested in meat.
I don’t know if the spiritual spring water has any effect on it, but it has grown a lot bigger than before.
It was already at the height of Jiang Mengxue's thigh, and if he stood up, he would not be much shorter than Jiang Mengxue.
If Jiang Mengxue saw such a big dog outside, she would definitely be scared.
Jiang Mengxue planned to find an opportunity to take it out and put it in the yard to guard the house.
Big Black is so big that he doesn't worry about outsiders having any evil intentions towards him.
With this plan in mind, Jiang Mengxue planned to bring Dahei back before Li Cuiying and the others returned.
Otherwise, she would have no chance to go out later and would have to wait a few more months.
After instructing Gu Yuyan to guard the clinic in the afternoon, Jiang Mengxue planned to go out.
He didn't walk far. He walked another two miles outside the Feiyue Brigade, looked around, and let Dahei out after making sure there was no one around.
I had already explained everything to Dahei in the space at noon. After coming out, I ran into the mountains and waited for Jiang Mengxue to return and almost reach the Leaping Team before running to find her.
Jiang Mengxue also thought of a reason. She said that Dahei was the dog she raised before, but later ran away in the mountains and was lost. She didn't expect that he would be found by himself now.
Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why Dahei has grown so big now.
Even if I wanted to adopt a dog, I wouldn't adopt a dog this big.
It is more reliable to say that Dahei grew up in the mountains eating wild animals.
Jiang Mengxue strolled for another half an hour, and when she was sure it was almost time, she turned around and walked back.
When they were almost in the sight of the Leaping Team, Xiao Hei came running towards them from a distance.
It knew that Jiang Mengxue couldn't withstand its collision, so the angle was slightly off.
I originally planned to brake suddenly and sit steadily in front of Jiang Mengxue.
But I didn't expect that I couldn't brake and ran too far.
Dahei felt a little embarrassed, but he held it back. He drifted on the spot, turned around and ran to Jiang Mengxue again.
She sat upright in front of Jiang Mengxue, sticking out her tongue.
