The sound of vomiting attracted everyone's attention.
Lin Yuetao quickly covered her mouth, stood up and walked out quickly. Guan Gensheng saw this, put down his chopsticks and hurriedly followed.
Liu Yan'e's eyes immediately showed joy, and she turned to Guan Ningquan and said, "Third brother! Your sister-in-law has good news for you! You will soon become a grandfather!"
Guan Ningquan became excited: "Sister-in-law, is what you said true? Is this daughter-in-law pregnant?"
"Yes! Absolutely!" Liu Yan'e said happily, "I gave birth to two children, and watched my eldest daughter-in-law give birth to a child. My second daughter-in-law is also pregnant! Women all have this reaction when they are pregnant! This is called morning sickness!"
Guan Ningquan was delighted, with wrinkles all over his dark face: "This is great! If Gensheng's mother were still alive, she would be so happy to hear this news!"
Guan Haisheng chuckled: "Brother Gensheng has only been married for more than a month, right? Your 'shooting skills' are quite accurate! Faster than Chaosheng and his wife!"
Ye Li understood the word "gunmanship" and lowered his head quickly, remaining silent.
She was afraid that the old lady would call her out by name, so she tried to reduce her presence as much as possible.
...
...
Whatever you fear will come true!
Liu Yan'e immediately turned her attention to Ye Li and Jiang Xun: "You two have been married for more than half a year, right? I remember you got married in May! It's April now, and the weather has warmed up. It's time for you two to have a child, right?"
"Yes, sister, it's time for you to have a child! You are not young anymore. You will be twenty-one after the New Year, right? Jiang Xun is twenty-seven already? You are both older young people, which can be considered late marriage and late childbearing!" He Hua also advised.
Ye Li thought that having children was something that women should discuss in a low voice behind closed doors. But now, when she brought up the topic in front of the whole family, she felt her face getting hot and she was so embarrassed.
"Yes, I will." Ye Li said in a low voice.
Seeing her embarrassed face, Jiang Xun smiled and helped her out: "She is busy with work on weekdays, and I am busy too, we don't have time...so...but...I will try hard to have children in the future."
"Yes, yes, you have to work hard. Try your best!" Uncle Guan Fuan hurriedly advised.
Lin Yuetao finished vomiting and returned to the table, her face red with shame: "I've made the elders and my brother and sister-in-law laugh at me..."
"What's so funny about this? It's natural for a woman to be pregnant. What's there to laugh at? Don't be embarrassed. Look at the daughter-in-law of the old Lin family in the village. She is pregnant and walking around the world with a big belly. She feels so glorious!" Liu Yan'e said.
Guan Gensheng saw that Lin Yuetao's face was red, and he quickly said, "Auntie! Auntie! My Yuetao is embarrassed. The little girl is shy and blushes when I say that!"
"Okay, let's not talk about this! But we all congratulate you!"
"Yes, let's congratulate Guan Gensheng together!"
The family finished their dinner in a happy atmosphere.
In the evening, the village launched a "literacy class" education. Everyone in the family went to the class. Ye Li and Jiang Xun sat in the yard, cracking melon seeds and drinking tea.
Spring has arrived quietly, and an indescribable breath and feeling is surging in the air.
The willow branches in front of and behind the house have sprouted new buds, and the grass on the ground has emerged without knowing when, and is growing vigorously. Ye Li and Jiang Xun are discussing what to do next.
Now that we have all the spinning and weaving machines, the efficiency of weaving has been greatly improved. Now we are facing a new problem, that is, the problem of raw materials.
To weave cloth, cotton must be planted on a large scale. Ye Li did some calculations and found that even if all the land in the village was planted with cotton, it would not last long. If the two machines were to continue to be produced, they would have to purchase cotton from outside.
Purchasing cotton from outside requires sending people to other places to find sources of supply and to negotiate with people. This work requires running out every now and then, and most people probably don't have the time to do it.
The main job of the villagers is still to farm, so that they can get food to fill their stomachs.
After thinking about it, Ye Li felt that at this time, this matter should be handed over to Nie Fan. If he did it, he would be more suitable than anyone else.
"Well, I think you can let him have a try. Even though Nie Fan may be a jerk in some things, he is indeed a good material for doing business." Jiang Xun gave Nie Fan a "high" evaluation.
"How can my brother be called a bastard? You are not allowed to say that about him!"
Jiang Xun smiled: "Okay, I'll listen to you! I won't say anything bad about him, is that okay?"
"Um!"
The two chatted for a while, and Ye Li felt sleepy, so he got up and went to get some water to wash his face.
Jiang Xun tidied up the tables and chairs in the yard, swept the melon seed shells on the ground with a broom, and was about to go into the house when he heard someone calling him.
Turning around, he saw Guan Fuquan, dressed in his clothes, smoking a pipe in his hand, and waving at him through the crack in the door.
"Uncle, you're looking for me?"
"Come on, come on!"
Jiang Xun found him very mysterious, so he got up and followed Guan Fuan into his room.
"Sit down!" Guan Fuan pointed to the three-legged stool on the ground and asked him to sit down, and persuaded him earnestly, "I know... it's not easy for a man to say this! But I understand you, uncle!"
Jiang Xun: “???”
"It's been almost a year since we got married, and Li Li still hasn't gotten pregnant. This must be related to you. Chaosheng, your second brother has also been unable to have a child for several years after getting married! Didn't an old Chinese doctor give him a folk remedy and prescribed medicine to soak in wine. After drinking it for a while, the guy is full of energy! Didn't your second sister-in-law get pregnant a while ago! I've got this recipe for you, take it, and follow this recipe to make the medicine and soak in wine when you go back!"
Jiang Xun seemed to be stuck to a stool and didn't move for a long time.
"Take it! It's not shameful!" Guan Fuan stuffed it into Jiang Xun's hand.
Jiang Xun scratched his head: "Uncle, actually... I don't really need this thing! I... I'm still fine!"
He is very good, okay?
Every time, it was the wife who cried and begged for mercy.
"Don't be so stubborn! Take her away!" Guan Fuan thought Jiang Xun was just trying to save face, so he was so stubborn that he refused to admit that he was incompetent. "Don't make excuses about work in the future! How can working during the day affect what you do at night? Right? Li Li is my second brother's child. My second brother passed away early, and Li Li has not been with us for many years. Now that we have the child back, we will treat her like our own daughter! I tell you, you have to let her give birth! It's only been a year, and if she doesn't give birth in a year, no one will say anything! But if she doesn't give birth in two or three years, that's all pressure! Those gossiping old ladies will put the blame of being unable to give birth on Ye Li's head!"
Jiang Xun: “…”
So innocent!
I am so innocent!
After persuading him for a while, Guan Fuan took out a wine cup and a small jar of medicinal wine from the cabinet: "Come on! Let's each have a cup! It will strengthen our bodies and prolong our lives!"
"Uncle, at your age..."
"What are you thinking about? This is not a medicinal wine. This is a wine that strengthens the body! Come on, drink some, drink some..."
Half an hour later, Jiang Xun came out of Guan Fuan's room. When the wind blew, he felt hot all over and his lower body began to show off uncontrollably.
He smiled and shook his head: "This old man...just say what you think, why lie?"
Jiang Xun stood in the yard for a while, but the heat did not subside. He could not bear it any longer, so he pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Ye Li preparing to take off her clothes to sleep, he hugged Ye Li from behind, and held her earlobe with his hot lips: "Li Li, let's have a baby!"
