Chapter 84 Zhou Min is pregnant
When Shen Jiale was bored before, he planted garlic sprouts in a flower pot. After about five days, the garlic sprouted.
It was not known whether it was because of the high temperature in the greenhouse or because Shen Jiale used spring water to irrigate the garlic, but the garlic sprouted in two days.
Shen Jiale guessed that the spring water must have played a big role, because the garlic sprouts in the wooden basin only took two weeks to grow.
If it grows at this rate, we will be able to eat fresh garlic sprouts soon.
Lu Bailing was also curious about the garlic sprouts planted by the second sister-in-law, and always wanted to see how they grew under the box.
Shen Jiale said that he could not see it during the day, and if it was exposed to the light, the garlic sprouts would not grow, so Lu Bailing gave up.
While waiting, the garlic sprouts that Shen Jiale had planted in the wooden basin grew again, and the brother and sister were very happy.
"Sister-in-law, isn't this the same as leeks, where you can harvest them over and over again?"
Shen Jiale said, "Garlic sprouts can only be harvested three or four times, and can't be compared to leeks, and each crop is worse than the last."
"That's fine, plant once and eat three or four times, it's not a loss."
Shen Jiale cut the garlic sprouts that had grown and asked Lu Mingfeng to bring them to Xu Jin to see.
Lu Mingfeng asked what price to set, as off-season vegetables must not be the same as seasonal ones.
"Just let Brother Jin arrange it. If it sells well, it can also become a way for our family to make money. You can ask Sister-in-law to grow it together."
After Xu Jin tasted the garlic sprouts, he offered 1.5 cents per catty on the spot and told him to bring as many as he could, and he could sell them all.
Lu Mingfeng told Shen Jiale the good news.
Shen Jiale said to let the garlic sprouts grow in the field for another two days.
Shen Jiale estimated that the yield of the two sheds was nearly 1,000 kilograms.
Two days later, the three of them harvested all the garlic sprouts and garlic greens, and Lu Mingfeng sent them to Xu Jin at night.
Because there were too many, Lu Mingfeng could only take 300 kilograms at a time, and Xu Jin asked some people to ride back with him.
After weighing, the two sheds harvested more than 2,400 kilograms in total. Lu Mingfeng asked Xu Jin to share the remaining parts with his brothers to taste, and the bill was 350 yuan.
...
With a profitable business, Lu Mingfeng also wanted his family to make money with him, so the couple prepared to ask Zhou Min to grow with them.
Lu Bailing asked, "Can we ask mom to plant with us?"
Shen Jiale said, "It depends on dad's attitude. If he can keep his mouth shut and not tell anyone, then we can."
Lu Bailing nodded, "I see that dad has changed a lot recently. I asked mom to test dad's intentions. If he still thinks of his uncle and second uncle's families for everything good, I would rather not make money at home than let them implicate my second brother."
The couple went to Lu Mingqi's house, told him about their garlic sprout sales, and asked him if he wanted to plant.
How could he not do something to make money? Since he followed his brother up the mountain to make some money, Lu Mingqi has been looking forward to making another fortune next year.
It's only winter now, and there's a chance to make money, so of course he can't miss it.
Garlic sprouts need shade. Lu Mingqi's house has no yard, so Zhou Min immediately said that they would build a yard wall.
He also asked if they could plant them in the room while the yard wall was being built, and they could vacate a room.
Shen Jiale said yes: "You don't need to plant them directly on the floor of the room. You need wooden boxes anyway. Put soil in the wooden boxes first, seal the windows and doors, don't open the doors during the day, and don't let the room get too cold. Keep it between 13℃ and 30℃. The higher the temperature, the faster it grows."
Zhou Min said that there was a kang in the room, so just heat it up.
Lu Bailing went back and told Liang Qiaoli about this, and Liang Qiaoli immediately said that she would not get involved, and let the two families plant it, and just let them know if they needed any help.
...
Lu Mingqi suddenly wanted to build a courtyard wall. Lu Yongfu was very curious and said, "If you have money to build a courtyard wall, why not build another tile house?"
Zhou Min said, "How can we have money to build a house? We built the courtyard wall ourselves with adobe bricks." Lu
Yongfu felt that building a courtyard was a waste of time. It would be a hindrance when building the house, and it would have to be demolished when the time comes. What's the point of bothering ?
Zhou Min couldn't tell the truth and was thinking about how to get away with it. Suddenly, she felt sick and ran to the side to vomit.
Liang Qiaoli saw it, went over and stroked Zhou Min's back, and asked, "How many days have you been having sex?"
Zhou Min thought carefully and realized that she seemed to have not had her period for two months. Her face turned red.
When Liang Qiaoli saw this, she was overjoyed and said to Lu Yongfu, "From now on, you are not allowed to interfere in Mingqi's family affairs, and don't come over to hang out."
Lu Yongfu was a little angry: "It's my son's house, can't you just come and visit?"
Liang Qiaoli said with a smile, "Mingqi's daughter-in-law is pregnant. What you say is never pleasant to the ears. You don't know how that sentence makes my daughter-in-law angry. It's better not to come here." "
I'm going to be a grandfather?"
When Lu Yongfu heard that he was going to be a grandfather, he immediately calmed down: "Okay, my daughter-in-law likes what you say. You come over to help often, and I won't come. If there is anything you need me to do, just tell me."
"I'm going to be a grandfather, I'm going to be a grandfather..." Lu Yongfu smiled and kept muttering to himself.
Liang Qiaoli patted him lightly: "Don't tell anyone. Life is short. Except for our family, don't tell anyone else for less than three months."
Lu Yongfu nodded obediently.
...
There is not much work to do in the fields in winter. Most of it is digging ditches. Liang Qiaoli told Zhou Min not to work and to rest at home.
The wooden boards arrived, and Lu Mingqi put them together to make boxes. Liang Qiaoli came to help them plant garlic.
Lu Yongfu helped make adobe bricks. He was afraid that he would make Zhou Min unhappy, so he went home after finishing the work without staying for a moment.
Zhou Min was very uncomfortable.
When she told Shen Jiale about this, Shen Jiale teased her, "Don't tell me you like a chaotic life."
Zhou Min smiled and said, "I don't like it. Look at my uncle's family. Since my sister-in-law came back, they haven't had a single day of peace." Lu
Yongsheng agreed to build a house for his son to move out, but he was reluctant to spend money and he really didn't have any money, so he and Lu Mingxuan built it.
Lu Mingxuan hadn't done farm work since he started working, so the progress of the house was very slow.
They said they would move out after the house was built, but they haven't moved out yet. They still live together, and some habits can't be changed in a short time.
Old Mrs. Lu habitually asked Tian Liping to help her take a bath and wash clothes, but Tian Liping ignored her.
Lu Xiaowen threw her clothes to Tian Liping as usual, but Tian Liping just left them there without washing them.
Even Li Chunmei habitually asked Tian Liping to cook, but Tian Liping only cooked for herself and her two children.
So, their family quarrels every day now, but they dare not say harsh words to Tian Liping. When Tian Liping gets angry, she has to go back to her parents' home.
The children are already familiar with Tian Liping, so they stick to her alone, and no one else can deal with them.
So, even if Tian Liping scolds Lu Yongsheng's family, their family can only endure it.
