Before going to bed, Yang Chunyan remembered that Yang Weiguo would also go to Ning'an tomorrow, "Huai'an, you should make an appointment with your brother to leave together at the intersection."
"I told him before the time we were going out. If he remembers, he should be waiting for us there."
"Then we'll leave on time tomorrow!" Yang Chunyan missed her cell phone a little at this time. Now, not to mention the cell phone, even the lights were not on.
"Well!" Zhou Huaian picked up the account book, "You look tired, go to bed quickly, my sister-in-law said she would send the cushions over tomorrow morning."
Yang Chunyan yawned, "Okay, you should go to bed early too."
"Yeah!" Zhou Huaian stacked two cushions together and sat down at the desk to start calculating.
By the time he finished recording the accounts, Yang Chunyan had fallen asleep. He looked at the purse that he was going to take to exchange for change and found that she had pretended to have forgotten the household registration book used for saving money. He felt that as the child grew older, her memory seemed to have deteriorated a lot.
When I was about to fall asleep, I found Yang Chunyan sitting up, "Yan'er, what's wrong with you?"
"My calf is cramping," she said, rubbing her right leg.
"You're too tired today! I'll go to the other side and massage you!" Zhou Huaian yawned and crawled over to her. He massaged her for a while until the muscles in her right leg relaxed.
Yang Chunyan on the other end was already snoring.
The next morning, before the two of them left the house, Zhou's mother and Zhao Huifang arrived.
"Youngest, I made two of them using a mixture of cotton and kapok. Tie them around your waist and legs to ensure they won't run away."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Zhou Huaian took the two thick and soft cushions and found that they were cut into the shape of a butt. "My god, it looks like a big butt."
Zhou's mother couldn't help laughing.
Yang Chunyan also laughed after seeing this. "Go and try tying it up!"
Zhou Huaian nodded, went back to the house and tied it up, then turned his head and looked at the dressing mirror and laughed, "Fat ass!"
Outside, Zhou's mother said to Yang Chunyan, "Remember to weigh two kilograms of rock sugar and another twenty to thirty kilograms of salt. They will be needed for pickling ham and pork."
Yang Chunyan thought of the aniseed for sausages, "Do we have enough aniseed at home?"
Zhou's mother thought for a moment and said, "We have fennel, peppercorns, and cinnamon. Just weigh a pound of star anise and bring it back."
"Great!" Yang Chunyan put on her hat and sat in the truck bed. "Let's go!"
Zhou's mother warned! "Drive slowly on the road!"
Say it every time!
"Got it!" Zhou Huaian started the tractor and arrived at Zhou Yiding's house. He went down and knocked on the gate a few times. "Ding Ding Cat, let's go."
"Here it comes!" Zhou Yiding ran out and saw a big army green butt facing him, "Fuck~ I haven't seen it for a night, why is its butt like this?"
"Yours!" Zhou Huaian turned around and gave him his butt pad. "My sister-in-law drove me out overnight. It's soft after I tied it up. It doesn't hurt at all."
Zhou Yiding took it and said gratefully: "Sister-in-law is so nice!"
"I'm touched, right?" Zhou Huaian smiled and patted him. "The eldest and second sisters-in-law are both very good. The third sister-in-law is a little bit worse, but she's still okay compared to other families."
"He's a little narrow-minded, but he's better than many people." Zhou Yiding took it and tied it up in a few seconds, patted his butt gently, and then raised his butt and waved it at Zhou Huaian twice, "An Yi, two green butts!"
Yang Chunyan leaned against the carriage board and looked at the two people, trying not to laugh. "Let's go. I won't be able to see you later, big brother."
Zhou Yiding scratched his head embarrassedly, "My sister-in-law is here too?"
Yang Chunyan nodded with a smile, "Yes! My younger sister will go to Dr. Wang's clinic to help. I'll go and take a look."
"Oh!" Zhou Yiding hurried to the driver's seat and sat down. "Youngest brother, you sit in the back and I'll drive!"
Zhou Huaian was eager to say, "That's right! Let's go to the sunbathing area to see Wang Chunhua, and then go to the asphalt road intersection and wait for my brother-in-law."
"Okay!" Zhou Yiding pulled the brakes and the tractor arrived at the drying dam. Not seeing anyone from Wang Chunhua's family, he drove straight to the village entrance.
Zhou Huaian pulled Yang Chunyan to lean on his shoulder and said, "Sleep for a while. I'll call you when we get to the intersection."
"Um!"
Yang Weiguo was also driving a tractor towards Ning'an at this time. He looked at his watch, remembered the time when Zhou Huaian and the others set out, and increased the horsepower. The tractor rumbled forward quickly, emitting black smoke.
When we were almost at the intersection leading to Fangtian Brigade, we saw a tractor driving out and stopping on the side of the road.
Yang Chunyan leaned on Zhou Huaian's shoulder and watched the tractor getting closer and closer, "It seems that the big brother is here."
"It's Big Brother!" Zhou Huaian helped her up and they both got off the tractor.
"Brother, has Xiaomei already gone to Ning'an?"
"I went there yesterday!" Yang Weiguo said with a smile, "Luckily I hurried a distance, otherwise I would not have been able to catch up with you."
Zhou Huaian smiled and handed him a cigarette, "I guessed you would come and join us."
Zhou Yiding also came over, "It's just right, just as we agreed."
Yang Weiguo smiled and nodded, "You guys are still good, you have company!"
Zhou Huaian thought about it and said, "We are slaughtering a pig today. My mother said she has asked people in the town to take a message to my mother-in-law. Are they coming?"
Yang Weiguo waved his hand and said, "I can't come. I'm too busy at home. We plan to kill the New Year pig in two days. We can only get together during the New Year."
"Okay, let's talk about it in Ning'an."
"Okay!" Zhou Yiding and Yang Weiguo walked towards the control panel separately.
The two tractors arrived at Ning'an one after another and went to Deshengtang first. The clinic was not open yet, but the gate in the alley had been opened.
Yang Dongmei saw Yang Weiguo and asked, "Brother, is my sister here?"
"I came and looked at the tractor on the street."
"I'll go find her." Yang Dongmei ran out of the yard.
Wang Zhen came out of the house upon hearing the noise and said with a smile, "Your batch of goods has just arrived, just in time for the truck from the provincial capital to load it."
Yang Weiguo smiled and said, "I delivered a batch yesterday, but not much today. I saw that Huai'an and his team had a large quantity today."
Zhou Huaian and Zhou Yiding came in carrying bamboo baskets, "I'm delivering two days' worth of goods this time!"
"Let's move the goods first!" Yang Weiguo and Wang Zhen also went to move the goods.
On the street, Yang Dongmei happily pulled Yang Chunyan and said, "Sister, I have been in Deshengtang for the past two months. You must come to see me often!"
"Okay, I'll come down when I have time." Yang Chunyan looked at Wang Zhen who was helping Zhou Huaian carry the truffles, "Doctor Wang is going to the provincial capital for two months?"
Yang Dongmei brought a chair for her to sit down. "I heard from Brother Wang that he went to the provincial capital to help an old friend with a chronic illness. If everything goes well, it will take two months. If not, it will take a while longer."
"Oh! What about Doctor Wang going to buy the goods?"
"I didn't ask." Yang Dongmei leaned close to her ear and said, "I think he looks very old, not like a young man in his twenties at all."
Yang Chunyan smiled and patted her, "Do you think everyone is as chattering as you? Doctor Wang has been studying medicine with Doctor Wang since he was a child, so of course he is more steady."
"Being steady and being old-fashioned are two different things, okay?" Yang Dongmei said, "But I have to admit that his medical skills are indeed good. Some of the questions he explains are better than those explained by my teacher in medical school."
It was rare for Yang Chunyan to hear her praise any boy. Even in her previous life, she had never heard her praise her brother-in-law in front of her.
"Doctor Xiao Wang graduated from a prestigious medical university. You're lucky to be willing to be your teacher!"
"That's true, but he's even less talkative than my eldest brother. After Grandpa Wang passed away, he and I were the only ones in the clinic after the patient left. If I didn't say anything, he wouldn't say a word for a long time."
"You are the one who talks too much. If there is another clinic like you, it will become a sparrow's nest!"
Yang Dongmei pulled her aside, "Sister, your attitude is a bit wrong! I'm your sister, why are you always speaking for Wang Zhen?"
"I'm just talking about the facts!" Yang Chunyan smiled and clapped her hands, then walked to the tractor and took a basket down. "I brought you some eggs. Have you had breakfast?"
Yang Dongmei put the eggs in the clinic. "I cooked vegetable porridge, boiled eggs, fried salted vegetables, and mixed Houttuynia cordata. He went to buy the buns. We had just finished eating and were about to open the clinic when you came."
She then remembered that they must not have had breakfast so early, "Sister, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
Yang Chunyan nodded and said, "I want to eat soy milk and fried dough sticks. I'll go after your brother-in-law brings the food."
Yang Dongmei saw that the truffles outside had not been moved yet. "It's been a long time since we've waited for my brother-in-law to come back. My little nephew can't go hungry. I'll go and cook some eggs for you to fill your stomach."
Yang Chunyan smiled and shook her head. "No, I'm telling you, my calves were cramping really badly last night. Is it because I'm calcium deficient?"
"Oh~" Yang Dongmei looked at her with a smile, "My sister is worthy of being my sister. She even knows that pregnancy will cause calcium deficiency!"
Yang Chunyan smiled and slapped her, "You little bastard, you are the only one who is educated!"
Yang Dongmei laughed and said, "You can buy more bone stew soup. If that doesn't work, you can take vitamins or calcium tablets."
Yang Chunyan looked at her in confusion, "Your brother-in-law buys big bones and pig's trotters every other day. It has happened before, but never like last night, it woke me up with pain."
The pigs this year are different from the ones in March in the future. Some big fat pigs have been raised for more than a year, so it is impossible for pigs to be calcium deficient.
Yang Dongmei recalled that her mother and husband were exhausted after harvesting truffles at home, "Sister, are you too tired during this period?"
Yang Chunyan remembered that except for the time she was sitting to keep accounts and count money yesterday, she had been helping to deliver truffles to the baking room after dinner.
"Yesterday your brother-in-law went to Baicaopao and brought back a lot of truffles. We were busy until eleven or twelve o'clock before we went to bed."
"Have a good rest." Yang Dongmei thought for a moment and said, "My nephew is getting older, and your weight is also increasing, which is causing the burden on your legs to increase.
If you walk too much or stand for too long at this time, the leg muscles will be overloaded, affecting metabolism and causing muscle cramps. Don't stand or walk for a long time in the future."
"I see." Yang Chunyan looked at her happily, "Not bad, it makes sense."
"I'm learning as I go along!" Yang Dongmei smiled and pointed at Wang Zhen who was walking outside carrying truffles. "Yesterday a pregnant woman came to get medicine and told Wang Zhen that her legs were always cramping. I heard him say that."
Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "No wonder. You have to learn the techniques from Dr. Xiao Wang in the future."
Yang Dongmei made a face at her, "I see! You are acting like an old man now, and your tone of voice is the same as mom's." (End of this chapter)
