Chapter 71 Visiting Harbin 1



Go to bed early and get up early.

Song Shuxi woke up at 6 a.m. the next day.

After running around outside for two days, I finally had a good night's sleep, which immediately replenished my lost energy.

He took today's portion of spiritual liquid, mixed it with water, and drank it in one gulp.

After she became pregnant, she didn't have any reaction. Her overall condition was almost the same as before she was pregnant. She didn't feel tired even after walking so much every day.

Song Shuqian felt that all this was thanks to the spiritual liquid.

After taking care of herself, Song Shuxi began to sort out yesterday's spoils. The cotton fabrics with dyeing problems were of very good quality and very soft. After going back and recycling them a few times, they could be given to the children to wear.

Song Shuxi has great skills and can make clothes very quickly. The baby clothes are almost ready, with only diapers left to make. These are also quick to do. Just prepare the cloth and you can finish it in one day.

Song Shuxi got a headache when she thought of diapers. She would wash them no matter what, and Wei Jianguo was busy, so she couldn't just use them and throw them away.

When you are in doubt, look for your husband.

"Honey, what do you think we should do with diapers after the baby is born? I can handle everything else, but I can't stand this. Can you find a sister-in-law to help me? Tell others that she is helping me, and we can give her some money privately."

Song Shuqian knew that this was a crime against the law, but she couldn't let Wei Jianguo stop working and stay at home washing diapers.

I didn’t feel any pain when I didn’t think about it before, but now that I think about it, it’s giving me a headache.

Wei Jianguo had never thought about it in this way before. He had never seen anyone who disliked his own children. But this person was his wife, so he thought it was normal. No one knew better than him how clean Song Shuxi loved cleanliness.

He used to be a rough guy, but now he has been transformed into a refined man.

Worried that his wife might think too much, he quickly comforted her, "Leave it to me, I'll find someone reliable to help you take care of the child until she's 2 years old. After she's 2 years old, I promise to teach her how to use the toilet."

Wei Jianguo spoke so confidently that Song Shuqian believed him.

They didn't expect that a 2-year-old child could not control himself at all.

I can only say that if you have never given birth to a child, you think too simply.

Now we just want to simply go out to a state-owned restaurant for breakfast with two people. After hearing the lady at the front desk introduce the state-owned restaurant in Tianjing Hutong, saying that its mutton soup and sesame cakes were the specialties, the two decided to try them.

After walking for about twenty minutes, we arrived at this state-owned hotel.

There were quite a lot of people there, and today's supply was written on the small blackboard.

Song Shuxi ordered the dishes according to the old rules, "a bowl of mutton soup, 2 sesame cakes, a bowl of tofu pudding, 4 fried cakes, and a pound of steamed dumplings". Song Shuxi's main point of ordering food is to have a little bit of everything to try the flavors.

But she had big eyes and a small stomach, and she was full with just one fried cake, a bowl of tofu pudding and a steamed dumpling. After two or three hours, I feel hungry again and need another meal. Song Shuxi now eats five meals a day, and each meal is not much.

Eat small meals frequently and you will be healthier.

Wei Jianguo is a big eater and he can finish whatever you order.

After dinner, the two of them went to the bank of the Songhua River, where the scenery was very beautiful.

The river water is clear and sparkling, and there are many animals nearby, it's very harmonious.

Some nearby residents came to fish, and they observed that although there were few fish, some people were still able to catch some.

Wei Jianguo chatted with the family and learned that the old man's son and daughter-in-law were both successful and the family did not rely on his salary, so he retired. When he had nothing to do, he would go fishing and take a walk, and he lived a very comfortable life.

Song Shuqian was not envious at all, "Husband, don't you think my life now is exactly the same as this old lady's? Our family doesn't expect me to make money, and I don't want to work. I just read books at home every day and take care of my pregnancy. Life is so comfortable."

Wei Jianguo thought about it and realized that it was true. It turned out that I was the only one among the cattle and horses.

But what he said was, "Wife, why do you think like that? It's so hard for you to be pregnant. You can still go out now, but it will be uncomfortable in the later stages of pregnancy. It will be even harder after you give birth to the child. You are the pillar of our family."

Song Shuqian was amazed at Wei Jianguo's reaction. Is he still the same tongue-tied man as before? What kind of evolutionary class has he attended?

"Honey, I want to take a photo here." Song Shuqian chose a place surrounded by mountains, with the Songhua River behind it, which was very magnificent.

Wei Jianguo was taking pictures seriously. He didn't have enough film with him, but luckily he could buy some here.

After living together for so long, Wei Jianguo already knows his wife's ability to spend money. He doesn't earn enough for her to spend, but fortunately he doesn't mind living off her.

At noon, the two of them came to the Madiel Western Restaurant. This was Song Shuxi's first time eating Western food, and she was a little excited.

They ordered a pot of stewed beef, borscht, pickles, black bread, and two grilled steaks.

They're all meat.

Song Shuqian cut the steak into small pieces according to her memory. While cutting, she explained the dining etiquette to Wei Jianguo, "These dishes are from the Russians. Try them and see if you like them. We are here to experience new dishes today."

From the day Wei Jianguo decided to be with Song Shuxi, he knew the gap between the two. So he didn't care that he didn't understand these things. He listened carefully to what Song Shuxi said, took notes, and didn't show his weakness in the same place.

He cut his steak into small pieces, took a bite, and commented, "This is not very tasty, a bit hard on the teeth."

Song Shuqian agreed. She didn't like it either and only ate a few bites reluctantly and then didn't want to eat anymore.

The braised beef in a can is eaten with black bread, which is okay.

Song Shuqian’s favorite is pickled cucumbers, which are exactly what she likes. One portion was not enough, so I ordered another one.

When leaving, Wei Jianguo asked the waiter to buy a portion of pickled cucumbers.

Song Shuqian smiled very happily.

"Jianguo, do you think we can make these pickles ourselves? What if I want to eat them when I go back and they're hard to buy?"

"Leave it to me, I'll find out how to do it."

Wei Jianguo was worried all day long that Song Shuxi didn't eat enough, and whenever he saw something she liked to eat, he wanted to bring it all back to her.

That afternoon, the two of them went to the famous Songguang Cinema to watch "The Ring" and "Tunnel Warfare". Song Shuqian liked them very much and planned to go to the town to watch a movie when she had time after returning.

Lying in bed at night, Song Shuqian was unusually sentimental and said, "Jianguo, thank you."

"Why are you thanking me all of a sudden?"

"Without you, my identity would not be resolved so easily; without you protecting my country, how could I go to the movies safely; without you by my side, I would not be able to have such a happy family."

Wei Jianguo hugged him tightly.

The two of them rely on each other.

The two chatted for a long time before they talked about Harbin. "Honey, I heard from the salesperson that there are a lot of good medicines here, such as ginseng, deer antlers, bear bile powder, schisandra chinensis, and toad oil. Do we have a way to buy some in case of emergency?"

"I have some comrades here. I'll contact them tomorrow and see if I can get them connected so I can buy some."

In fact, Wei Jianguo didn’t quite understand Song Shuqian’s thinking. Why did she buy medicine when she was not sick? But he was used to listening to Song Shuxi on these little things.

Song Shuqian saw his confusion and explained, "This way we can be prepared for any eventuality. When needed, we can just take it out. And we don't have to worry about it expiring." Her magic gourd will look the same when it is taken out as it was when it was put in.

Wei Jianguo was a man of action and he contacted his comrades the next day.

They actually got two wild ginsengs, one a hundred years old and one more than thirty years old, four Ganoderma lucidum, thirty kilograms of river fish, more than ten kilograms of Hericium erinaceus, fifty kilograms of hazelnuts, twenty kilograms of black fungus, ten kilograms of chaga, forty kilograms of mushrooms, ten kilograms of wild honey, and three stupid farm chickens.

Living off the land, Wei Jianguo's comrades exchanged these things in a village near their home.

Song Shuqian and the others naturally thanked him again and again, as it was really a great help.

The two packed up the things and sent them back.
