Chapter 89 Younger Brother and Sister
It's unclear whether Ren Guochang can guarantee Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan's absolute safety, but Gu Yiye, who is returning home from the commune, can certainly guarantee Lin Shanshan's absolute safety.
He came over on a sidecar motorcycle. Now, Gu Yiye carefully helped Lin Shanshan sit on the right side, hung the free-range chicken he had just bought on the front of the motorcycle, and then climbed into the driver's seat himself.
After driving for a while, Lin Shanshan couldn't take it anymore: "Gu Yiye, can't you drive faster? You're slower than a bicycle!"
Gu Yiye said nervously, "My dear wife, if we drive too fast, it will be bumpy and you might get hurt."
Lin Shanshan rolled her eyes. Did this man think she was a porcelain doll?
There was no point in saying more. Lin Shanshan got hungry quickly during her pregnancy, so she took out some snacks from her left hand space and picked a bunch of grapes from her right hand space to eat.
I don't know why, but I've been craving these days' super spicy fish tails, and of course, I also love sweet and sour grapes!
Seeing that his wife had gone to eat, Gu Yiye drove even slower, making sure to stay on flat ground.
Lin Shanshan was afraid that the car might accidentally get hit by a small stone, so she would bump her teeth while eating.
The journey that normally takes half an hour was stretched to an hour and twelve minutes by Gu Yiye.
As I passed the big tree at the village entrance, I saw a group of villagers sitting under the tree, sighing and complaining.
"Good heavens! This is going to kill us farmers! The rice paddies are dry, how can they grow?"
Lin Shanshan turned her head and glanced at the rice paddies by the roadside. A few days ago they were still a little damp, but today they were completely dry and there were faint cracks!
"Yes, if I had known, I would have planted wheat in my private plot back then. Wheat is always better than rice; it's more drought-resistant."
"Yes, it was Lin Zhiqing and Gu Yiye who had foresight. They cleared dozens of acres of wasteland and planted them all."
"Aunt Li, did your family grow wheat at Lin Zhiqing's place?"
Aunt Li sat under the big tree. Unlike the others who were full of worry, she was calm and not concerned about the drought.
“Yes, my Gangzi is in the militia company. Ten of them went and planted crops. Let me tell you, Lin, the educated youth, is a great person. He let us plant 3 mu and promised to give us 600 jin of grain when we harvested!”
"So much? Aunt Li, can your family finish it all? Share some with my family later, and I'll pay you."
Some clever people, knowing that the rice was out of the question and that they would have to rely on their own grain to pay the grain tax, set their sights on Aunt Li's wheat.
Of course, money has to be paid. Most villagers are simple and honest, and they know that there's no such thing as taking something for nothing.
Aunt Li said, "If there are any extras, I'll definitely sell them to you. We're all neighbors."
The others under the tree hurried off to find the other families of the militia members to arrange the purchase of wheat.
Gu Yiye rode his motorcycle home slowly.
As soon as they got home, Gu Xiang came out and asked anxiously, "Is your sister-in-law alright?"
Gu Yiye carried Lin Shanshan out of the car, put her on a chair, and said with a smile, "Big sister, you're going to be an aunt now, Shanshan is pregnant!"
Gu Ai'ai ran over and stared at Lin Shanshan's belly: "Auntie, when will my little brother and sister come out to play with me?"
Gu Xiang smiled and asked, "Ai Ai, tell Mommy, is Auntie's belly carrying a little brother or a little sister?"
There is an old saying that children can tell the sex of the fetus in a pregnant woman's womb.
Gu Ai'ai tilted her head and pointed at Lin Shanshan's belly, which wasn't showing, and asked in confusion, "Mom, you're so strange. Why are you asking me again? I just said it's a little brother and a little sister!"
