She didn't feel anything while busy harvesting wheat during the day, but as soon as she returned to her room at night, Yue Jiuyue felt itchy all over and needed to take a shower.
Now that there's no shortage of water, Yue Jiuyue no longer needs to secretly take showers. She can openly boil warm water for bathing, and even the third and fourth siblings living next door have become much cleaner as well.
Although I was tired after a long day of work, taking a shower was no big deal. After a refreshing shower, I slept much better.
After more than half a month of busy work harvesting and threshing wheat, we finally managed to put all the wheat into the cellar.
Fortunately, it didn't rain.
This is not like the drought that occurred a couple of years ago.
It was also thanks to the wisdom of the village elders that they were able to foresee the rain. Everyone was afraid that it would rain during the wheat harvest, so everyone worked their hardest to cut the wheat. That's why the wheat was able to be dried and stored in the granary in time. On the third day after Yue Jiuyue's family stored the wheat in the cellar, it started to rain.
Yue Jiuyue's family didn't have a granary. In the past, when they didn't have much grain, they would just store it in the bedroom, using stones and planks to build a platform to stack it.
Now, the grain is stored in the cellar next to Lin Chaodong's house, which is also lined with stones and wooden planks to keep out the moisture from the ground.
It rained for two days, and the family rested in their respective houses for two days. On the third day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared, and they began a new round of busy work, planting crops.
Sweet potatoes have been planted until now and are still being planted, along with soybeans and millet. Yue Jiuyue bought two jin of corn seeds from the mall, planning to plant half an acre of corn, so that she can plant several more acres next year.
"Mom, can I have some corn seeds? I want to plant a few corn stalks on my mountain to eat!"
Lin Chaobei doesn't know what shyness is; his thick skin is unmatched in the family.
"Alright, here's a bunch for each of you. Plant them yourselves. If you've planted them well, you won't need to ask me for seeds next year."
The fact that her child could support himself was certainly good news for the old mother, so Yue Jiuyue did not object to the division of the child, but it would only cost her another twenty or so coins to buy another pound.
Lin Chaodong and Lin Chaonan each received a handful, and they all happily went to plant corn.
Lin Chaobei was the only one with a tearful face. He wanted to plant corn purely to satisfy his appetite, not for next year's seeds. Now that Yue Jiuyue said that, would he still be able to eat to his heart's content this year?
"Dad! Grandma! Mom's stomach hurts! Waaah!"
Suddenly, Xiaoman ran out of the house shouting.
The three brothers, who had almost reached the eastern wall along the foot of the mountain, immediately turned back upon hearing the sound.
Yue Jiuyue lived closest to home, only a few dozen meters away, and quickly ran back home.
Liu, who was curled up on the kang, did not expect that Yue Jiuyue would be the first to come. She called out "Mother" with a pale face, and was unable to get up while clutching her stomach.
"What's wrong? Where does it hurt? Did you eat something bad? Do you want some hot water? The eldest brother will be here soon, I'll have him take you to the town clinic in a bit!"
Yue Jiuyue was at a loss, because Liu looked to be in great pain, as if it were even more painful than when she was giving birth.
At least, when giving birth, Yue Jiuyue didn't see Liu Shi's face turn pale and she was sweating profusely. It was like she had some terminal illness, which was really too scary.
At this moment, Lin Chaodong and the others also ran back. Lin Chaodong rushed into the house in a panic and asked anxiously:
"Big Zhuang's mother, what's wrong? Huh?"
