Yang Chunyan thought for a moment and nodded, "Not only can we not be together for the first three months, we can't be together for the three months before the birth either..."
"Oh my god!" Zhou Huaian looked as if he was dying. "It's been six months in total, and I've only had a few days of good life! If this continues, I'll get sick sooner or later!"
Yang Chunyan looked at him with amusement and patted him in reproach, "It's not as serious as you say. Didn't you get through it in the past 20 years?"
"You don't understand!" Zhou Huaian now remembered what his mother said to his brothers when his sister-in-law was pregnant. It seemed that he had no choice but to hold it in.
He took a deep breath and lay down before saying, "Yan'er, if you are really pregnant, you can't do heavy work or carry heavy things in the first few months."
Yang Chunyan nodded and glanced at him, "Why don't you go sleep over there?"
"No, it's okay to sleep on one side." Zhou Huaian was also a little excited, "Yan'er, do you want a daughter or a son?"
Shouldn't I be the one asking this? Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "As long as it's our child, it doesn't matter if it's a son or a daughter! What about you?"
"Now that we are not allowed to have a second child, if possible, of course it is better to have a son as the first child. If it is a daughter, we will keep her at home and find a live-in son-in-law. If you have an idea, we will work hard to earn money and have another child."
"Yes!" Yang Chunyan closed her eyes, "My mother said that having a son or a daughter depends on fate. No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, it is our baby!"
"That's right!" Zhou Huaian also began to look forward to it. "I will send you to Deshengtang tomorrow. Brother Huang, I will drive the tractor to take you there."
"It's okay. Look at those people in the village who are still working even though they are pregnant."
"That's a family without the ability to work. In the first few months when my sister-in-law and her friends were pregnant, they didn't do any heavy work."
"Okay! Don't tell mom yet. Wait until I get back from the checkup tomorrow."
"I understand."
The next morning, Yang Chunyan went out with him. Zhou Huaian pushed the bamboo basket to Zhou Yiding's house on a chicken bus and loaded it onto a tractor. He then went to Fangtian Brigade to pick up his employer and went to Ning'an together.
When they arrived at the entrance of Desheng Hall, which was not open yet, he delivered the basket of herbs to the entrance of Wang's backyard and instructed: "Wait for Doctor Wang to open the door, and then ask him to help carry it. Don't be too silly to ask."
Yang Chunyan glared at him and said, "You are the stupid one!"
"Ha'er, you don't even know that this is for your own good." Zhou Huaian waved at her, "Wait here, I'll pick you up!" After that, he turned around, left the alley, and drove away on the tractor.
Yang Chunyan followed him out and watched him walk away. She returned to the backyard door and waited for a while before the door opened. "Good morning, Doctor Xiao Wang!"
"Good morning, Sister Yang!" Wang Zhen looked at her and smiled. "I haven't seen you delivering herbs for a long time." He helped lift the bamboo basket. "What herbs did you find this time?"
"Golden Thread Lotus, Paris polyphylla, Ganoderma lucidum... and some honey."
The two men carried the bamboo basket into the yard. Wang Zhen went to the steps to move the scale, and Yang Chunyan took the Polygonatum out of the bamboo basket.
"Sister Yang, are the red mushrooms you picked still there? Are there many?"
Yang Chunyan looked up, "Two full baskets! My mother-in-law was still complaining a few days ago that she didn't dare to eat the food after bringing it back, and it took up space! If you like it, I'll bring you two kilograms next time."
Wang Zhen smiled and said, "I took the red mushrooms you sent me last time to the provincial capital to give to my friend who is a drug dealer in southern Fujian. He called and asked me to get him 200 kilograms. He plans to send it back to the drugstore for trial. If it sells well, we will continue the cooperation."
When Yang Chunyan heard that he wanted 200 kilograms, she said in embarrassment: "When will he ask for it? The two baskets at home are probably only about 50 to 60 kilograms, which is a bit different."
"There is another major problem. It hasn't rained for a while, and we will have to thresh the grain soon. We won't be able to harvest that much in a short time. Ask your friend. If we can wait, I will start harvesting when I get back."
"It's okay. You can send the ones from home first, and send the others after they are dried." Wang Zhen patted his head and said, "I forgot to tell you the price. He said that as long as the quality is the same as the one you gave me last time, he will pay ten yuan per pound."
Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "Please ask him to rest assured. I promise that they will be the same as the last time. They are all good red mushrooms that have not been opened. I will ask Huai'an to send them down to you tomorrow."
Compared with the past, the price of ten yuan per pound of dried red mushrooms is indeed cheap, but money is valuable these days!
"Okay!" Wang Zhen said, "If we wait a little longer, the truffles should come out, right?"
"Yeah! It will be out next month." Yang Chunyan was moved after hearing this, "That thing has a weird smell. No one eats it here. Do people in the provincial capital like it?"
"I don't know if people in the provincial capital like it, but my friend in southern Fujian said that foreigners like the taste, and it's quite expensive."
"Your friend wants to collect truffles? It's hard to get them from that far away now, right?"
"People along the coast have connections. I heard that there are many people selling contraband goods in their area." Wang Zhen said as he put the Polygonatum on the scale. "Last time, Brother Zhou reminded me to open the shop upstairs. I'm already preparing for it. It should be open before National Day."
Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "Congratulations in advance! Once you open the store, it will be convenient for us to buy things in the future!"
"You guys come to buy things, all at friendly prices!"
"Thank you! Thank you!"
"When the truffles are out, pick out some good quality ones and send them to me. I'll show them to them and then decide the purchase price."
"Okay!" Yang Chunyan agreed and took the floribunda out of the bamboo basket. "Look at the floribunda we dug this time. Some of them are of better quality than last time."
Wang Zhen squatted down and looked at them one by one, dividing them into three piles, pointing to the smallest pile, "These pieces are indeed better than the last time. You haven't sent us good stuff in a long time."
"It was the 15th day of July and my family was busy leveling the ground, so I didn't go up the mountain to look for goods. The ones delivered were all herbs collected in the village."
"Has the house already been started?"
"Hmm!" Yang Chunyan took out the golden thread lotus and weighed it for him.
At this time, someone else came to deliver herbs. Wang Zhen quickly weighed all the herbs and paid for them.
Yang Chunyan took the money and went to the clinic in front to ask Dr. Wang to take her pulse.
"It's a pregnancy pulse!" Doctor Wang smiled after taking the pulse, "Congratulations, Xiao Yang. The baby is still young. If you want to go up the mountain in the future, you must be careful."
Yang Chunyan nodded happily, "Do you need to eat something to replenish your body?"
"No need! If there is no reaction, you can eat a boiled egg every day. Just remember not to overwork yourself."
"I remember that." Yang Chunyan stood up happily, "Leave the bamboo basket here with you first, I'm going to the vegetable market."
Doctor Wang nodded and began to take the pulse of the next patient.
Yang Chunyan thought that she had made several hundred dollars this time, and there were still dozens of kilograms of red mushrooms unsold at home. The subsequent red mushroom business and truffles would bring in money in the next few months.
She went to the market and bought a few pounds of meat, two pounds of pig liver, and two pieces of pig stomach. She carried two pig trotters back to Desheng Hall and planned to go to the backyard to get a bamboo basket and go to the bridge to wait for Zhou Huaian. (End of this chapter)
