More than a month before the due date, Chen Yao and Han Mo moved into the wedding house that was closer to the hospital.
Zhao Ping also moved in with them to make it easier for her to take care of the pregnant Chen Yao.
Because it was inconvenient to climb stairs, Chen Yao and Han Mo chose to live in the bedroom on the first floor and did not move to the second floor.
Chen Yao's work at the base's medical room has been suspended. She had already applied for maternity leave before moving here, and she can continue to stay at home for a while after giving birth. The benefits there are very good.
Although Han Mo is not as busy as before, he still has to go to the base every day to handle work and can only go home at night.
He thought that if he stayed busy during this period, he would have more time to spend with Chen Yao later.
That day, after finishing his work, he was driving home from the base when he met an old man who was selling pecans with a load on his shoulder.
The old man seemed to see that it was getting late and was about to close his stall.
Han Mo took a quick look at the pecans he was selling and thought they were of good quality, so he stopped the car and planned to buy some to take back.
The old man happily installed a lot of them for him, almost all the ones left in the frame, and gave him a lower price.
Han Mo chatted with him casually for a few words. He said that he lived close to the mountain and often went up the mountain to pick some fruits and hunt some animals to sell. The things were guaranteed to be very fresh.
Han Mo thought of Chen Yao's saliva-filled words a few days ago about wanting to eat rabbit meat, so he asked the old man in front of him: "Can you hunt rabbits?"
The old man perked up immediately and said happily, "Of course I can, and I already have a litter of rabbits at home. Do you want any? How many do you want?"
Han Mo: "Two, not too old."
The old man nodded and said, "Okay, okay, there will definitely be no problem with two, but they are still a little small now, so it will be better to raise them for a while. Are you in a hurry?"
Han Mo asked: "How long will it take?"
Uncle: "Ten days, it will be almost done after ten days, and the taste will be plump and tender."
Han Mo thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll come get it when the time comes."
The old man said yes repeatedly and promised him that he would wait for him here in ten days.
Han Mo nodded, took the pecans that the old man had packed for him, and drove back home.
…
When he got home, Chen Yao had just returned from a walk with Zhao Ping. Seeing him carrying a large bag, she asked curiously, "What is this?"
When she asked, her eyes lit up slightly with a hint of expectation.
Han Mo smiled and said, "These are the pecans I bought on the road. They looked very fresh, so I bought some to bring back."
Having said that, he opened it and let Chen Yao see it.
Zhao Ping smiled and said, "I haven't seen pecans for a long time. They are good stuff, and they are also good for pregnant women. Yaoyao, you should eat more later."
Chen Yao nodded, picked up one and took a look, and found that it looked a little different from the common round walnuts. It was smaller and not as round.
After looking at it for a few seconds, she subconsciously wanted to pry it open with her hands to see what was inside.
But Han Mo covered her fingertips in time and said softly, "The shell of this kind of hickory is very hard. I'll just knock it for you. Don't hurt your hands."
As he said that, he went to get tools to crack walnuts for her.
Zhao Ping helped Chen Yao sit down beside her, smiled, and said, "You guys sit down, I'll go to the kitchen to cook."
