Members of the Chen family were walking in from the yard, all with worried looks on their faces.
"Zhenqi, what's wrong with you? I was in a hurry to go to work this morning and didn't have time to come to see you. Are you feeling better now?" Ge Yun asked worriedly.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Why don't you go to the clinic? Let me tell you, you can't delay if you are sick," Fan Chun said anxiously.
"Sister-in-law, if you're still not feeling well, shall we borrow a mule cart and take you to the town?"
"The third brother is not at home, please don't get into any trouble."
The two brothers Chen Guo and Chen Qiang spoke one after another.
Gu Zhenqi was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She looked at her mother-in-law with some embarrassment and a hint of inquiry.
If she remembered correctly, when her mother-in-law came in the morning, she said she was just on her period.
If it weren't for the two little guys, who were worried about her, they wouldn't let her get out of bed, wouldn't let her get off the kang, wouldn't let her eat by herself, and definitely wouldn't let her leave the room!
She is now a completely normal person, and the stomach pain disappeared around noon.
When the mother-in-law saw her gaze, she suddenly remembered that there was too much work to do in the fields today, and she was so busy that she forgot to explain Gu Zhenqi's situation to them!
She was so embarrassed that she coughed lightly and said, "Zhenqi just had a stomachache. She told me this morning. You see, I forgot about it in my busy schedule!"
While speaking, he gave a look to Ge Yun and Fan Chun.
The two of them immediately understood what was going on with Gu Zhenqi and chuckled at each other.
"Then Zhenqi, you should take a good rest. We will go out for lunch first."
"Don't catch a cold, I'll come back to cook dinner in the evening!"
After saying that, they pulled their men out of the room.
"No, why are you pulling me? Isn't my sister-in-law sick? What's going on? I still don't know."
"Don't pull it, didn't you say that we can't delay treatment if we are sick?"
"Hurry up and leave. You're talking too much nonsense. Aren't you hungry?"
"She is not sick. You don't need to ask what happened. Go eat. She has been working all morning and is starving!"
Seeing that they all left, Gu Zhenqi's embarrassment was relieved a little, and she looked at her mother-in-law: "Mom, you haven't eaten either? Go and eat quickly. I'm fine. I'll lie down for a while and I'll be fully recovered tomorrow!"
"Okay then, you should have a good rest and don't get off the kang. After dinner, I will make you a bowl of ginger and brown sugar water."
"Okay, thank you for your help!"
"Why are you being so polite, kid? Lie down quickly."
Wang Guiying walked to the door of the room and turned back to call: "Ruiduo, Fei'an, let's go have lunch with grandma."
The two little kids looked at Gu Zhenqi worriedly, their little hands tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, obviously worried about her, very worried.
"Mom, please go ahead and let them eat later!"
"Okay!" The mother-in-law hesitated for a moment, helped them close the door, and then left.
Gu Zhenqi patted the seat next to him and said, "Come on, babies, sit down. It's time to eat. What do you want to eat today?"
Ruiduo raised her little head, her big black eyes turned around, and her long eyelashes fluttered.
After a long while, I still couldn't decide: "It's so hard to choose, Mom. Ruiduo wants to eat so many things. I don't know which one to choose?"
For little foodie Ruiduo, it is indeed a bit difficult for her to choose food.
Looking at Fei An again, he seemed to be quietly waiting for his sister to finish speaking.
Gu Zhenqi smiled gently and took out two meals from the space. While they were sleeping, she entered the space to prepare meal sets for the two little ones.
When the two little kids saw the food on the cute plates in front of them, their eyes lit up.
She rubbed their little heads lovingly and said gently: "Eat quickly. Tomorrow, mom will take you out to play again!"
…
After lying down for a whole day yesterday, Gu Zhenqi felt that all the bones in his body were stiff!
What a nice weather today! It was a clear and sunny autumn day with only a few white clouds floating in the blue sky.
The autumn sun makes people feel warm and the breeze blows gently, making people feel lazy and want to lie down and take a nap in the sun.
Gu Zhenqi didn't want to do that, she just wanted to move more, so she took Ruiduo and Fei'an directly to the vegetable garden at the back.
The whole vegetable garden is only a few acres, not very big, and it grows some common vegetables, such as water chestnuts, pumpkins, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, and Chinese cabbage...
On the side, a piece of land was specially fenced off to raise three chickens. In that era, each household had a quantity limit for raising chickens, and they had to hand over a fixed amount of eggs to the team every month.
As soon as she entered the vegetable garden, she began to pick ripe red tomatoes, intending to make all of them into tomato sauce, which she could use to make noodles with gravy when there were no fresh vegetables to eat in the winter.
She can't take out too many supplies from her space at once. She has to eat them together with what she already has at home. This is very reasonable and will not arouse excessive suspicion from her family!
While she was busy picking tomatoes, Ruiduo and Feian seemed to have discovered something new and interesting.
Until she had picked them all, she looked around and found them.
I saw two little cubs, heads leaning against each other, staring intently at the chickens lying in the haystack in the chicken coop.
"Babies, what are you doing?" Gu Zhenqi asked in a low voice.
"Shh, Mom, my brother and I are waiting for the hen to lay eggs so that we can get them first!" Ruiduo made a gesture to her to keep quiet and lowered her voice as well.
After hearing this, Gu Zhenqi got a black line on his forehead and was sweating. It turned out that the little cub was blocking the chicken coop and waiting for eggs to be laid?
This operation is really, what can she say?
Speechless?
The problem is that she did this as a child!
And I am very happy doing it, very, ahem, I never get tired of it…
