Chapter 73 Preparing for Winter



Wang Maoni looked at Su's mother calmly and said, "I don't plan on what to do."

"What do you mean you don't plan to do anything? My daughter-in-law is pregnant. As a mother-in-law, shouldn't you go and take care of her?"

Without waiting for Wang Maoni to answer, Su's mother acted as if she had suddenly realized something, "I see, you are the captain's wife, and you have six daughters-in-law and a lot of grandchildren at home. You can't leave, right?

It's okay if you can't leave, I can go! My boss and I only have one daughter, Chengcai is our only sister, and now she's pregnant, and she needs family company, so the three of us will pack up and go over to take care of her."

Wang Maoni smiled, "Okay, go ahead! By the way, take the food rations for the three of you when you go. You feel sorry for your daughter, but I feel sorry for my son. My son's allowance and food rations are for supporting me and his father, not for supporting his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law."

When Su's mother heard what Wang Maoni said, her eyes almost popped out.

"Wang Maoni, what do you mean? Your daughter-in-law is pregnant. It's fine if you don't go to take care of her, but why are you bullying me when I go to take care of her? Is there any mother-in-law like you?"

"What's wrong with me as a mother-in-law? Go around the production team and ask around. Whose daughter-in-law needs someone to take care of her when she's pregnant? Are you trying to make a mistake?"

Su's mother was stunned at first, but soon understood what Wang Maoni meant.

When a woman is pregnant, she needs someone to take care of her and serve her, and that is the young lady of the landlord's family.

Thinking of this, Su's mother's face turned pale. "Who wants to make a mistake? A married girl is like spilled water. If you, as a mother-in-law, don't let me intervene, then don't do it. I still have a lot of problems at home!"

After saying this hurriedly, Su's mother turned around and left, her figure quickly disappearing.

Wang Maoni hadn't stopped eating from the beginning to the end, and now she looked around coldly, "You're not even eating, what are you doing standing there, do you want to make a mistake too?"

Everyone shook their heads at the same time, lowered their heads to eat, and no longer dared to mention taking care of Su Ruanruan.

After dinner, Wang Maoni and Fu Chunshan returned to the upper room together.

The door is closed.

Wang Maoni sighed, "They are all so stupid and foolish, their calculations are clearly written on their faces, and they think they are very smart. If they are really allowed to go to the army, who knows how much trouble they will cause. You write a letter to Lao Qi and ask them to take care of themselves. We definitely cannot send anyone here."

Fu Chunshan sighed, "I'll write it right away. There are few people in a big family who are worry-free."

"If they don't worry, they can't turn the world upside down."

——

When Su Runruan and Fu Wenjing received Fu Chunshan's reply, Su Runruan had been pregnant for almost two months.

There was not much difference between two months and one month. My belly was still flat and there was no sign of pregnancy at all.

Apart from drowsiness, there was no discomfort at all.

After Su Ruanruan and Fu Wenjing finished reading the letter together, they looked at each other in surprise.

Su Ruanruan had never expected that her pregnancy would cause so much trouble.

Although Wang Maoni didn't allow anyone to come, Su Runruan was still happy.

She doesn't need anyone to take care of her, she can take care of herself.

If someone really came to take care of her, she would be in real trouble.

Fu Wenjing put down the letter, raised his hand and touched Su Ruanruan's belly, "Don't worry, my wife, I can take good care of you, no one else needs to come."

"Of course I trust you."

Fu Wenjing spends most of his time in the army during the day, but he takes care of all the heavy work at home.

As long as he was at home, Su Runrun only needed to sit and wait for food and drink, and didn't have to do anything else.

Fu Wenjing has done this, so there is nothing for Su Ruanruan not to believe.

Su Runrun has not been idle in the past twenty days.

She would go out every few days.

When he first went there, Fu Wenjing was a little worried.

But after two times, seeing that Su Ruanruan was fine, he stopped stopping her.

After all, Su Ruanruan is just pregnant, and her personal freedom cannot be deprived because of this.

Every time Su Ruanruan went to the commune, she would bring something back.

There are food, drink and other useful things.

The most common ones are cloth and cotton.

In order to avoid having no clothes to wear in the future, Su Runrun could only bring cotton and fabric home little by little like a hamster.

Su Ruanruan had made it clear that these things were obtained by exchanging them with others. Fu Wenjing would not delve into the matter, but only reminded her to be careful.

Sometimes, Su Ruanruan would be curious about what Fu Wenjing was thinking.

But in order to keep her secret, Su Runrun chose to suppress her curiosity.

No matter what Fu Wenjing thought, as long as he didn't say it, she would pretend nothing happened.

This is probably what self-deception looks like.

Time flies, another month has passed and it is already September.

Over at the Hongqi Production Brigade, September is a great time of the year with clear and cool weather.

But here, it is already very cool in the morning and evening, and only a little hot at noon.

Fu Wenjing no longer takes a nap at noon.

After lunch and dinner every day, Fu Wenjing would go to the mountains to collect firewood. The firewood shed at home had been expanded a lot, and it was filled with firewood.

Every month, Fu Wenjing would buy all the coal, not a single piece less.

It's all about preparing for winter.

Before traveling through time, Su Ruanruan had never been to the north, but she knew that there was heating in the north.

Although it was dozens of degrees below zero outside, it was so warm in the house that everyone wore short-sleeved shirts and shorts and ate ice cream.

But now there is no heating, so we can only rely on the kang for heating, so we must have enough firewood.

If you don't prepare firewood, you will not only suffer in the winter, but you may also get frostbite or freeze to death.

When Fu Wenjing went to the mountains to collect firewood, he was reluctant to let Su Runruan follow him, but how could Su Runruan agree?

The mountains in autumn are a huge treasure trove, full of wild delicacies and fruits. She can just pick some and put them in the grocery store, and after selling them, it will all be money!

Fu Wenjing couldn't persuade Su Runrun, no matter how much he disagreed at first, he agreed in the end.

They were not the only two who went into the mountains.

People living in the compound began to go to the mountains frequently and prepare for the winter.

The time between noon and before dark is not long, and the firewood available is limited.

Niu Guifang would take Hongya to the mountains in the morning and afternoon. Before each trip, she would ask Su Runruan whether she wanted to go.

Su Ruanruan would go five times out of ten.

It’s not that Su Ruanruan doesn’t want to go, it’s just that her body doesn’t allow it.

After all, she is more than three months pregnant. Her health is the first priority and she cannot overwork herself.

Even if she went, Su Runrun would only get some wild vegetables and fruits, or pile up the firewood she picked up, and then when Fu Wenjing went into the mountains, she would take them all back home.

For convenience, Fu Wenjing specially bought a hand-pushed cart so that he could transport a full cart of things at a time, saving him several trips.

But the cart of stuff was extremely heavy. Not to mention Su Ruanruan, even someone as strong as Niu Guifang couldn't push it.
