Chapter 565 Eldest Sister 22
Guangjia.
Wang Cuiyun had been worried ever since her daughter-in-law's mother arrived, but her daughter-in-law returned in less than an hour, carrying a cloth bag on her back.
"Daughter-in-law, what are you carrying on your back?"
Ning Yan smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just my food. I forgot about it before, but my mother reminded me when she came over today, so I just brought it back on the way."
Wang Cuiyun: ...Oh, so you've gone back to your parents' home to rob them again.
What is the mother-in-law after?
While others learn from their mistakes, she keeps making the same mistakes over and over again!
"Mom, let's have vegetable buns for dinner, I want some."
Honestly, she's not picky about food; she'll eat anything as long as it tastes good.
My mother-in-law's vegetable buns are delicious; I crave them after a few days without them.
Especially in the summer, my mother-in-law cooked wild vegetables with them a few times, and they tasted absolutely delicious.
It's a pity that wild vegetables can't be eaten now, they're all too old, otherwise she would definitely have picked some and cooked them.
Wang Cuiyun chuckled and said, "It's nothing special, fine, I'll make it for you!"
In the evening, Guang Sheng came home from get off work and ate his vegetable buns with relish, which made Wang Cuiyun sigh. "You two should be a couple, you even have the same taste in food."
They don't like bean rice, but they love stuffed rice, and they all love peanut and tofu, especially the kind with bok choy. One person can easily eat a whole bowl of it.
The key is that the dishes you like to eat are simple and can be made anytime without making things difficult for anyone.
Guang Sheng said, "Mother, I'll have to trouble you later. I brought back a set of offal and two pig's trotters."
Their job has so many hidden benefits; bringing back some food is just a small part of it.
Wang Cuiyun was even happier, "What's so hard about it? There's food to eat, why would it be hard?"
Don't worry, it'll be ready in a bit. I'll make you some stewed offal for tomorrow night.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Yan suddenly started gagging.
Guang Sheng put down his chopsticks and anxiously patted Ning Yan's back, "Wife, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly feeling nauseous?"
Ning Yan clutched her chest, wondering what else could have happened. She just thought of pig offal and couldn't help herself.
"Don't worry, I just have morning sickness."
"What? Morning sickness? You're pregnant?"
Ning Yan gagged a couple of times before finally getting over the urge. "Yeah, three months is up."
Guang Sheng's scalp tingled. "You, why didn't you say so sooner?"
He used to do it every single day, but in the last month, he noticed his wife seemed very tired every day, so he reduced it. But it's only reduced, so it shouldn't affect the baby, right?
Ning Yan feigned innocence, "I just found out myself, what can I tell you? I have no experience."
Wang Cuiyun and the brigade leader were overjoyed. "It's been three months already! Oh my, this child is so promising! Did you have it right after you got married?"
"Oh dear, I need to get the baby's clothes ready. Oh, and tomorrow I'll send messages to your older sisters, asking them to bring back all the old clothes so I can make diapers for the baby."
The team leader said, "The autumn harvest is almost over these past few days, so you don't need to go to work. Just stay home and rest."
The son was already 26 when they had their first child, so the daughter-in-law couldn't be too careful.
Wang Cuiyun chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, don't go to work. Just stay home and rest. You don't have to do anything."
This baby was conceived at the perfect time. It's three months along now, and the baby will be born around May next year. The month-long postpartum period will allow the baby to avoid the summer harvest and prevent those gossipy women in the village from spreading rumors.
Ning Yan wasn't the type to force herself to endure hardship, so naturally she agreed since her in-laws had said so.
Guang Sheng finished his rice in a few bites. "Wife, go back to your room and rest after you've eaten. I'm going to set a trap in the river. You need to take good care of yourself."
Ning Yan: "Didn't you just bring back some offal? You don't necessarily have to eat fish."
"Offal tastes like offal, and fish tastes like fish. You love to eat fish, right? Our son might love to eat fish too."
He started walking out as he spoke, and it was impossible to stop him once you saw that.
Ning Yan simply shut up.
Let him go. He's just getting fish for his son to eat; it's only right and proper.
Guang Sheng was lucky; last month he earned half a month's salary after working only three days. This month he also made some extra money, so he's not short of cash. Tomorrow he'll go to the black market and get his wife whatever good food he finds.
Guang Sheng cut a piece of offal from the kitchen and put it in the fish trap, then put half a vegetable bun in as well. He then carried the things to the riverbank.
Guang Sheng found a place with lush aquatic plants and a slow-flowing river, put the cage down, tied the rope to a small tree on the bank, and happily went home.
While sleeping that night, his hand never left his wife's slightly protruding belly. He had been so careless before, not noticing the changes in his wife's body, and always thought she was just eating better and gaining weight.
As it turns out, there is indeed some meat, but it's not fat; it's just a precious lump of meat growing inside the belly.
...
Ning family.
When it was time to go to work in the morning, Ning Shizhu got up and dressed, only to find that his wife was still asleep. He kicked Li Dahua with his thigh to remind her to get up, but the woman was still sleeping soundly. Ning Shizhu then shook her hand and called out, "Wife, wake up quickly."
After being shaken for a while, Li Dahua finally opened her eyes, "It hurts..."
Ning Shizhu frowned. "Where does it hurt?"
Li Dahua: "Everything hurts, my bones hurt. Please go and call a doctor for me."
Having been married for half their lives, Ning Shizhu understands his wife quite well. Even if she has a minor illness or pain, she will say it's nothing and continue doing what she needs to do, without going to the doctor for no reason.
"Wait here, I'll go get help."
Soon all the children got up, and the eldest son was told to run to find the doctor.
The doctor was the same one from yesterday. After arriving, he examined Li Dahua and made a diagnosis in about five minutes.
“My medical skills are not good enough, I really can’t see what’s wrong with you. Why don’t you go to the county hospital for a check-up? She seems to be in a lot of pain, and it doesn’t seem like she’s faking it.”
The barefoot doctor was extremely helpless. He wasn't a quack doctor either, but he was truly at a loss when it came to Li Dahua's symptoms.
When Li Dahua saw him about to leave, she became anxious. "Dr. Sun, I'm really in pain. Please give me some medicine. I can't bear it anymore."
“It’s not that I don’t want to give you medicine, but I don’t even know what illness you have. How can I give you any medicine? You should hurry up and send a letter to the county. Don’t delay.”
Finally, the doctor left.
Ning Shizhu gritted his teeth, asked the team for leave, borrowed an oxcart, and headed straight for the county town.
However, after spending half a day at the county hospital, Li Dahua was in so much pain that she fainted once, and she spent a lot of money, but the doctors still couldn't find the cause of her illness.
The doctor also advised him to get Li Dahua admitted to the hospital so they could study it carefully. But studying costs money. They had already spent more than fifty yuan on this trip. They could have married a cheaper wife with that money.
Ning Shizhu had a big argument with the doctor, then took his wife home.
