Building a canal was a big deal in the commune. After it was decided, the production team leader led hundreds of laborers to work enthusiastically.
Like other female educated youth, Su Yuhe dug canals at the foot of the mountain and did not have to go up the mountain.
Jiang Lin had to go up the mountain every day to help others bury explosives, and separate the exploded soil and rocks for other strong laborers to carry down the mountain.
The canal on the mountain was not built until later.
After working for more than half a month, Su Yuhe felt that she had lost a lot of weight.
When Xu Yun was out of confinement after giving birth, Su Yuhe sent some things over, including some cotton cloth to make clothes for the child.
Xu Yun said to Su Yuhe, "Why are you sending gifts again? Didn't you send a lot of gifts when I first gave birth? Why are we being so polite?"
Su Yuhe smiled and said, "Before, it was for you. Now it's for Xiyun. You know you don't have to be so polite, so don't say so much. Right? Sweetheart?"
Su Yuhe reached out to touch Xiyun's hand. The baby's red color when it was just born had faded, and it was now white and tender.
Su Yuhe felt soft in her heart when she saw this.
Xu Yun was surprised. "She recognized you. She knew it was you who saved us, mother and daughter. Others are shy. Sometimes, Xiyun even dislikes Li Yan because he doesn't shave!"
"Hahaha, is that so?" The more Su Yuhe looked at Xiyun, the happier she became.
Xu Yun picked up Xiyun and handed her to Su Yuhe: "Hold her, she's not crying, she really likes you."
Su Yuhe felt itchy, and when Xu Yun handed it to her, she no longer hesitated and took it carefully: "Be good. Auntie will hug you."
Xiyun has big eyes and inherited Xu Yun's eyebrows and eyes, which are the eyebrows and eyes of a southerner and are very beautiful.
The child blinked at Su Yuhe and waved his hands as if to say hello to her.
It really gets cuter the more I look at it.
Su Yuhe held the child for a long time, but the child didn't cry.
Xu Yun couldn't help but sigh again: "They say children have the purest hearts. She really remembers you."
She sighed, "I later went to Huang Meng to find out what happened. If you hadn't come, Xiyun and I probably wouldn't have survived."
Su Yuhe frowned and looked up at Xu Yun: "What are you talking about? It's all in the past. Why don't you think about how to earn money for Xiyun's milk powder?"
Xiyun seemed to sense her mother's sadness and suddenly burst into tears.
Su Yuhe quickly returned Xiyun: "Hurry up and take a look. Is she hungry? Or did she pee?"
"Just changed his diaper, and just fed him." Xu Yun brought the child back and rocked him, gently patting his chest. "You're worried about your mother, right? Don't cry..."
Su Yuhe watched as Xu Yun coaxed Xiyun into submission with just a few words, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "I told you not to say anything."
Xu Yun curled his lips. "Now that I'm out of confinement, I can go earn money for Xiyun's milk powder. That canal hasn't been completed yet, right? I asked Li Yan to talk to the production team leader. I can join the construction in a couple of days and get more money and work points."
Su Yuhe looked at Xu Yun disapprovingly. "You were born with a difficult labor, so you should have been well cared for. You've been staying in the hospital for over 20 days. Even if you were to go to work, you shouldn't have gone to repair the canal. It's been extremely tiring, and I've lost a lot of weight."
Xu Yun smiled bitterly: "How can I not work? I have been working for a month, and Li Yan's work points alone support the three of us."
Just as Su Yuhe was about to speak, she heard someone calling her outside the house.
She walked out and saw Huang Min looking inside but not coming in.
Seeing Su Yuhe coming out, Huang Min walked over cheerfully, smiling and said to Su Yuhe, "Su Zhiqing, I have something to ask you. Is it convenient for you?"
Su Yuhe and Huang Min rarely interacted with each other, so she was surprised for a moment: "You're looking for me? What's wrong?"
"Oh, something happened." Huang Min pulled Su Yuhe into her dormitory.
This familiar look made Su Yuhe feel a little defensive.
She had no contact with Huang Min, so she had never been to the house where she lived.
Huang Min married another educated youth and had a daughter, who she left in her hometown to be raised by her family.
Just the couple lived in one room.
She was pulled in by Huang Min and sat on a stool.
Although Huang Min's husband was not in the room, Su Yuhe still felt quite embarrassed.
She didn't look anywhere else but at Huang Min: "Huang Zhiqing, what do you want to say?"
Huang Min fished out two yuan from under her pillow and stuffed it into Su Yuhe's pocket. "Su Zhiqing, I saw your movements when you delivered Xu Zhiqing's baby. They looked amazing. I'd like you to show me."
Su Yuhe was stunned for a moment: "What are you looking at? I think you look quite healthy."
Huang Min glanced at the door, then turned back and looked at Su Yuhe with a puzzled expression: "Jianjun and I have been married for seven or eight years. We only have one daughter. Now she is almost seven years old, and I still can't get pregnant. Can you take a look at me? What's wrong with me?"
It sounded like there was a problem, but Su Yuhe didn't jump to conclusions.
She nodded and said yes, and asked Huang Min to stretch out her hand: "Let me take your pulse first."
Su Yuhe placed two fingers on Huang Min's pulse point, and after three to five minutes, asked Huang Min to change hands.
After a while, Su Yuhe withdrew her hand with understanding.
Huang Min couldn't wait to ask, "What? What's wrong with me?"
Su Yuhe said affirmatively: "Your pulse is very good. Judging from your pulse, there is nothing wrong with you."
Huang Min was anxious: "How could it be?"
Su Yuhe said slowly, "I looked at your tongue coating, it's normal, your spleen and stomach are not cold, and your menstrual cycle is normal, right?"
"Yeah, that's pretty normal."
"That's right, isn't it?" Su Yuhe said, "Everything about you is normal, there's nothing wrong with you."
Huang Min didn't believe it: "That shouldn't be the case. There must be something wrong with me, otherwise why can't I get pregnant?"
Su Yuhe was speechless. How could it be the woman’s fault if she couldn’t get pregnant?
She looked at Huang Min: "Could it be Luo Zhiqing's problem?"
Luo Zhiqing is Huang Min’s husband Luo Jianjun.
Huang Min's pupils shrank slightly: "Do men still have problems?"
"Why not? Is pregnancy a woman's business?" Su Yuhe resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "You've given birth to a child before, which means you're fertile. If you haven't been able to get pregnant for so many years, you might consider whether there's something wrong with your husband's body."
Just as Su Yuhe finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Luo Jianjun rushed in and pointed at Su Yuhe: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm in such good health, how could there be any problem?"
Huang Min stopped Luo Jianjun and asked, "What are you doing?"
She looked at Su Yuhe again: "I'm sorry, Jianjun has a bad temper. I'll tell him later. I'm sorry for bothering you today."
Seeing Luo Jianjun's attitude, Su Yuhe didn't want to stay in the room any longer. She nodded to Huang Min and walked out.
Luo Jianjun felt that Su Yuhe was ignoring him!
Ever since Su Yuhe went to the countryside, he always felt that this woman was very aloof, as if she looked down on everyone.
Why?
Didn’t she marry a landlord’s son later?
