Chapter 85 Lin Shanshan is Pregnant
The first solution that came to mind was to irrigate the farmland with tap water.
Tap water costs money. After irrigating an acre of land, the officials were unsettled when they saw the water meter reading was much higher than expected.
If things continue like this, it's hard to say whether the rice can be saved, but even if there is a bumper harvest, it's questionable whether the remaining grain after paying the grain tax will be enough to cover the water bill.
Then he thought of the two wells that Gu Yiye had dug, but they were too far away. Moreover, Liu Jianshe thought further ahead and said, "These two wells cannot be moved. In case the tap water is eventually cut off, these two wells can at least guarantee the supply of drinking water."
Lin Shanshan has been frantically clearing land to plant bok choy lately because bok choy has the shortest maturation period.
Immediately after the harvest, plant crops in the Shennong Space: wheat, rice, soybeans, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, plant anything that can fill your stomach.
After the first batch was harvested in five minutes, the next batch, which would be harvested at the normal time, was planted immediately.
Shennong Space now has dozens of acres of lush green fields, where crops are growing vigorously.
There are no insects in Shennong Space, and there is no need to water or fertilize. Plants will grow as soon as they are planted.
Planting and harvesting are done with a single click, it's practically cheating.
There seemed to be a lot of food in the left-hand space, but the disaster-stricken area was too vast and the number of affected people too great. Lin Shanshan dared not delay for a moment, working day and night, hoping to plant more food before the drought struck.
Finally, one day, I was exhausted.
Gu Yiye rushed Lin Shanshan to the health center. After a series of examinations, the doctor said, "She's pregnant and hasn't been resting well. Pregnant women are usually a bit anemic, and the fainting was caused by low blood sugar. You're a family member of the pregnant woman, right? Go back and give her some nourishing food. She's fine."
Holding the test results, Gu Yiye was so happy he didn't know what to say. But then he remembered that his wife had fainted from exhaustion, and he felt deeply guilty.
Gu Yiye asked, "Doctor, is there any food at the hospital? I want to give my wife something to eat before we go back. Otherwise, she'll get hungry on the way."
The doctor smiled and said, "I didn't realize you were so fond of your wife. I'll write you a prescription; go to the cafeteria and buy sugar and egg coupons. Did you bring them?"
Gu Yiye said, "Yes, I brought them all."
The doctor quickly and scribbled out a prescription that read: boiled eggs in brown sugar water.
Gu Yiye asked curiously, "This counts as a prescription?"
The doctor seemed unfazed, as if he had answered this question countless times: "Of course it counts. You love your wife. Some men are reluctant to feed their wives well, and they let pregnant women faint from hunger. We can only prescribe this as a remedy. They must eat it, or something bad will happen. That's why those men buy it."
Gu Yiye understood, thanked them, and took the prescription to the cafeteria.
With a sugar coupon, an egg coupon, and a dollar, Gu Yiye bought a large bowl of sweet egg soup and headed to the ward.
As soon as he entered the room, he noticed that Lin Shanshan was awake. Gu Yiye hurriedly went to the bedside and said, "Wife, the doctor said you have low blood sugar and anemia. Here, drink some sugar water and eat an egg."
As he spoke, he took a spoon and fed it to Lin Shanshan. Lin Shanshan took a sip from Gu Yiye's hand and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Gu Yiye planted a kiss on Lin Shanshan's forehead and said, "Wife, we're having a baby."
Lin Shanshan was both surprised and worried: "Really? Is the baby healthy? Will my fainting affect the baby?"
Gu Yiye broke the egg into pieces, scooped a small spoonful, and gave it to Lin Shanshan: "It's absolutely true. The doctor checked, and the baby is very healthy. But you, you're not allowed to work so hard anymore. Understand?"
Lin Shanshan ate the egg and nodded with a smile: "Brother Gu, I'm so happy."
Lin Shanshan stroked her belly with both hands, trying to sense the baby. How amazing! A new life was beginning to grow inside her body!
[Let's do a poll! Do you hope the female lead's baby is a boy or a girl? Twins, a boy and a girl, triplets or quadruplets? Let me know in the comments!]
