A little after six in the afternoon.
When Lu Jianghe returned home, he saw a basket on the table with some cabbage and some meat in it.
Maybe it's been stored for too long. The skin of the meat has dried out a little bit.
Why are all the dishes placed here?
He walked towards the bedroom in confusion, but unexpectedly found Hu Xiaoman sleeping.
Lu Jianghe closed the door quietly and went to the kitchen with a basket of vegetables.
He can't disturb his wife's sleep, so it's his turn to cook today.
When Hu Xiaoman woke up, he sat up immediately when he saw the darkness in front of him.
She was stunned for a moment, then she smelled the aroma of food.
After calming down for a while, she put on her shoes and went out to take a look. Lu Jianghe was still busy in the kitchen.
"Wife, you're awake." Lu Jianghe heard the sound of footsteps and doors opening and closing, and knew that someone had gotten up.
"Well, what are you doing?" Hu Xiaoman looked at the pot, which was pitch black...
Oh shit, is this poison?
Seeing her expression change, Lu Jianghe scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I wanted to stir-fry cabbage slices, but the fire was too big."
He had made stir-fried cabbage before, but each time it was either too dry or the soup was too watery.
"Okay, let me do it." Hu Xiaoman drove him away, then threw the dishes away, and they all got stuck to the bottom of the pot.
This kind of vegetable is harmful to eat, so there is no need to worry about wasting it.
Lu Jianghe was helping out by the side, chopping vegetables and meat. He was busy anyway. He was quite capable of this kind of thing; after all, he was quite skilled with a scalpel.
Hu Xiaoman didn't want him to cut vegetables before. The hand holding the scalpel must be well protected, otherwise it will affect the technique.
But Lu Jianghe insisted that it would not have any impact and allowed him to help.
This time the food was ready, and the two went into the house to eat.
Hu Xiaoman made a Chinese cabbage and meatball soup, and a dish of stir-fried Chinese cabbage with black fungus, both with a vinegary flavor, which was very appetizing.
After dinner, Lu Jianghe went to wash the dishes. The two of them had a clear division of labor. Hu Xiaoman was responsible for walking around the house to help digest the food.
"Wife." Lu Jianghe came back, wiped his hands and said, "You made me proud when you went to work today. Everyone said my wife is pretty and they envy me."
He was grinning, as if showing off.
Hearing this, Hu Xiaoman curled her lips and said, "You're just attracting bees and butterflies. A lot of butterflies must have died today, right?"
Although she hadn't heard other people's discussions before, she could see that Lu Jianghe was particularly popular in the hospital.
This is normal. He is handsome and a doctor. Who wouldn’t like him?
Lu Jianghe quickly shook his head and said, "I didn't attract any attention. I told them I was married when I went to work there."
How can those vulgar women be compared with his wife?
His wife is his heaven and his wife is his earth!
"Come on!" Hu Xiaoman rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Lu Jianghe was joking and laughing with her, and the two of them seemed quite happy.
The next day, Hu Xiaoman slept until ten o'clock in the morning before getting up to wash.
Because she didn't feel hungry, she took her things and went out.
This time she went back to see Hu Qinghai, who had given her a lot of money before and even gave her a bicycle as a gift on her wedding.
I haven't been back to see them for three or four months, so I should go back and see them.
When Hu Qinghai, who was clearing firewood in the yard, saw Hu Xiaoman coming, he simply put down his axe and stopped working.
"Xiaoman is here, why aren't you going to work?" He had a smile on his face, and he looked so happy.
To be honest, Hu Xiaoman hasn't come for the past three or four months, and he really misses her.
But I was afraid of bothering the child, so I never went to look for him.
Hu Xiaoman nodded, and followed him into the house. Inside, Zhang Chunxia was sitting at the table pasting matchboxes.
Looking at the pile on the table, there should be about two or three hundred of them.
"Oh, what a rare guest." Zhang Chunxia glanced at her, still working on her work, and said, "You still remember us? I thought you had forgotten all of you."
After not having her period for three or four months, she wanted to go and see just how hard-hearted this person was.
But Hu Qinghai didn't let her go, otherwise she would have to bully Hu Xiaoman.
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaoman ignored her. If she had paid attention to her, she would have continued to chatter.
I might as well just keep quiet. You can say whatever you want. I just listen in one ear and let it out the other.
Seeing that Hu Xiaoman didn't show any reaction, Zhang Chunxia curled her lips and continued to paste the matchboxes.
It's really boring. I would have argued with her in the past, but she's being so obedient today?
Hu Qinghai glared at her and signaled her to behave herself, but Zhang Chunxia rolled her eyes in response.
He held back his anger, then smiled and said to Hu Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, you've gained some weight recently, and you look much better than before."
Actually, he was just making small talk, but he did look a little fatter.
Hu Xiaoman was a little surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect him to observe so carefully, so she said, "Well, I'm pregnant, so I eat a little more."
Recently she has been particularly fond of eating meat and eats a lot of staple foods, so she is gaining weight faster.
But when I checked yesterday, everything was fine, all the indicators were normal, but I need to pay attention to my diet in the future.
If you eat too much, you need to exercise and cannot just lie down to gain weight.
"Pregnant?" Both of them were stunned.
"How many months has it been?" Zhang Chunxia stopped pasting matchboxes and stood up to look around.
Sure enough, my belly is a little bigger than usual. I can only see it when I sit down. When I stand up, my clothes are loose and it is not noticeable at all.
Hearing this, Hu Xiaoman did not hide it and replied, "Four months."
"Okay, okay." Hu Qinghai nodded happily. Life is complete with a child.
But these are the ideas of his older generation. What is most important is that two people are together and have children.
Giving birth and raising children are experiences that everyone experiences.
Zhang Chunxia was also very happy because she thought the marriage with the Lu family was a good one. Although it had not been used yet, Hu Xiaoman was already pregnant.
When she has a grandson in the future, she will go to Shen Yulan to do things for her, and she will help her.
Very good, very good.
Seeing her so happy, Hu Xiaoman was a little puzzled. Is it really that serious?
She didn't think that Zhang Chunxia was really thinking about her. It was impossible to trust someone with a criminal record.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Hu Qinghai asked Zhang Chunxia to cook while he went to kill the rooster in the yard.
He bought these roosters during the Chinese New Year, and there were only two of them.
"Oh, why are you killing chickens? You spendthrift man!" Zhang Chunxia was so distressed that she slapped her thigh. "What are we going to eat at noon? You even killed a chicken. You're just living like this!"
This made her very angry. Why kill chickens during such a non-holiday season?
There were originally two chickens, and this one was the largest, weighing just over five pounds.
The chicken I bought with great difficulty was killed just like that.
"Shut up!" Hu Qinghai turned around and glared at me, holding the bloody knife. "If you don't want to do it, get out of here. I'll cook!"
He felt quite guilty about saying this because, apart from steaming rice, he didn't know how to stew chicken.
