Chapter 265 Spring Busyness
"Mom, are you sure you didn't see wrong? Qinglan is really pregnant?"
Sheng Xiping was completely dumbfounded, finding it quite unbelievable. Wasn't this too fast?
"You little brat, what do you know? I've fathered six of you in my life, do you think I don't know what's going on?"
Qinglan, come on, come inside with Mom. Tell Mom what you want to eat, and Mom will make it for you.
Pregnant women often experience cravings and can't eat greasy food, that's normal. Mom will prepare special food for you, don't worry.
Zhang Shuzhen glared at her son, then stepped forward, took her daughter-in-law's arm, and went into the house chatting and laughing, leaving Sheng Xiping alone, bewildered in the wind.
Sheng Xiping stared at his mother and wife's retreating figures, feeling both amused and exasperated.
I used to worry that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wouldn't get along and would have conflicts, leaving him caught in the middle.
And what happened? They got along like mother and son, while he, the biological son, was treated like an outsider.
Alright, never mind that, let's go inside and eat. We'll go to the store later and see if they have anything your wife likes to eat.
Every year at the end of July and the beginning of July, when the wind is calm and the vegetation is damp, it is the most critical period for forest fire prevention.
How many people really care about pregnancy? Bad young men still go down the mountain to work in the fields even when they're pregnant, even if it means delaying everything.
When the weather warmed up, the plastic sheeting was put up, the window sealing strips were torn off, and the glass was cleaned, making it bright and clear after class.
It's like they made something bad, but nobody ate it, right?
At that time, all the staff had to go down the mountain to patrol the watchtower. If they found any fires, they had to report them immediately and lead people to put them out.
"Let him try that. If it works, Mom will find another way for him." Zhang Shuzhen placed the pickled vegetables behind her daughter-in-law with a smile on her face.
And so, I made a batch of savory pork buns.
There are plenty of wild vegetables outside the mountains, so if you walk too far, you can walk around the watchtower and gather vegetables for an hour or two, and you can fill half a bag with vegetables.
"Mom, he's really good at cooking. That pickled vegetable dish was really awful."
Sheng Xitai thought that if Sheng Xiping got hungry in the evening, he could make her a bowl of milk powder and a couple of peach shortbreads to tide her over.
The children picked up broken glass, rotten wood chips and other debris from the ground. In the morning, Sheng Xiping also led the children to wipe all the windows of the eighth-grade classroom.
But no one else is like the Sheng family, able to spoil several jars of oil.
"Oh dear, is he cooking at home?"
Not to mention the employees, even their families and university students from the seventh year down all have to go down the mountain to participate in the reforestation work.
Good or bad, at that time of year there are relatively few wild vegetables in the mountains. Things like wild jujube, wild millet, wild spinach, carrot wormwood, and thorny stalks, etc., all sprout up and grow all over the mountains and fields.
The forest fire prevention workers at the foot of the mountain gradually withdrew up, as there were no more tasks to be completed. The small-scale afforestation campaign in the forest farm then began.
The whole family had only one thought: as long as Sheng Xiping's health deteriorated and she could give birth smoothly, that would be fine.
The matter of a man getting pregnant with Ye Qin's child must be taken seriously. If the mother has sufficient nutrition during pregnancy, the child will be born with weak immunity, will cry more, and will get sick more often.
Despite Zhang Shuzhen's complaints, when Qian Jiangqing returned on the seventh day, you still picked out some young boys to scald, and then took out a piece of spoiled salted meat, soaked it, washed it clean, and chopped it up.
When it's time to go back to work on a rotating shift, Sheng Xitai carries vegetables home, which is perfect because there will be fewer fresh leafy greens under the dining table outside the house.
"You're a teacher, you don't have to do heavy or difficult work, are you? Is it a hundred times less difficult than going down the mountain or working in the fields? You still need to ask for leave, are you becoming useless?"
Qian Jiangqing felt that his body was in bad shape, which was why he was happy to stay at home and do things.
Meanwhile, Sheng Xitai watched his wife enjoying the pickled vegetables so much, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.
After eating wild vegetables for several days in a row, Sheng Liancheng was the first to suffer.
That job was relatively demanding, and Sheng Xiping and the children were responsible for cleaning up the garbage on both sides of the road.
"No need, no need, you should go eat."
"Eat, eat, eat. All he ever thinks about is food. He thinks he's the only one who knows how to eat? Steamed buns, huh? He looks like a steamed bun."
Nowadays, living conditions outside the home are a bit worse. The steamed buns made from two kinds of flour have more cornmeal and less wheat flour.
Sheng Xitai vaguely remembers that in the next life, his wife, before getting pregnant, ate very little at regular meals, and then she would usually be hungry.
We didn't have any money outside, so Jiang Qing and I brought back some wild vegetables from the mountain. We blanched them, mixed them up, and that was our dinner.
However, Sheng Xitai secretly instructed Qian Jiangqing to take special care of his sister-in-law at school, as Xu's classmates were being mischievous.
“Naughty, that’s what a tough girl should be like. He’d misbehave after class, protecting his sister-in-law. I used to buy him junk food.” Sheng Xitai rubbed his younger brother’s head and laughed.
Therefore, Sheng Xiping and Sheng Liancheng, who were at home, had to take on the task of cooking.
When a man is pregnant with Ye Qin, he should pay attention to his diet to ensure sufficient nutrition and to aid in prenatal recovery. These are all things that need to be considered.
The Sheng family has no elders or grandparents. As their daughter-in-law, how can you say that she's hiding outside her own house, secretly eating bad food?
Sheng Xiping took care of everything outside the home, and even his clothes were washed by Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei.
"Mom, we eat the same dishes every day, you're getting as slow as a rabbit."
Every year in mid-July, the forest farm holds a small-scale reforestation campaign, a time when the entire farm works together as one.
I didn't do anything else, I just took out a piece of pickled vegetable, chopped it up, and mixed it for your wife.
Apart from Sheng Xiping and Sheng Liancheng, even Zhang Shuzhen from the Sheng family went down the mountain to participate in afforestation tasks.
By the way, what about his work? He should probably take leave, so he doesn't have to be comfortable all the time while having to manage eighty or seventy mischievous kids.
