Chapter 327 Manyi is pregnant
When checking the beehive, Gao Mingcheng found that there was a lot of honey in the beehive.
Italian bees are very active in collecting honey. As long as there is a source of honey, they will collect honey and make honey all year round. Gao Mingcheng did not shake the honey all winter, so by now, there is indeed a lot of honey in it.
He took out a piece of beehive, held it up to the sunlight, and could see that there were many holes inside that were filled with honey. The color of the honey was very dark, an amber color that was almost black.
New honey is light amber in color. This kind of honey has just been brewed, has a high water content, is relatively thin, and does not taste that sweet.
When the color of the honey gradually darkens, it is ready. The honey will become sticky and sweet, and its shelf life will be longer.
"Looks like it's time to shake the honey." Gao Mingcheng said to himself, and decided to bring the honey extractor into the mountains to shake the honey later.
As spring comes and flowers bloom, the nectar sources in the mountains increase, and bees are actively collecting nectar, and new honey will soon be produced. By then, the new honey and old honey will be mixed together, making it difficult to shake the honey.
There are many types of honey. I won’t mention royal jelly. The common names of honey are based on the seasons and specific flowers.
For example, spring honey, summer honey, autumn honey, winter honey, jujube flower honey, locust flower honey, etc. If we use a more general term, we can simply call it multi-flower honey.
Because there is no single species forming a large scale in Gao Mingcheng's area, there is no way to collect nectar from a specific type of flower, so the honey bees can only collect nectar from flowers all over the mountain.
Among all the honeys of the four seasons, winter honey has the best quality.
Gao Mingcheng was happy to see so much winter honey. He had not touched the honey in the hive since last autumn, so that the bees could spend the winter safely. But the bees were obviously living well and had not consumed all the stored honey.
In that case, I'll accept it with pleasure.
Gao Mingcheng turned around and went down the mountain. When he went up the mountain again, he was already holding a honey extractor and a honey knife in his hands.
Although there was honey in the beehives, it was not as much as in spring and summer. He had to pick the ones with more honey to shake. Gao Mingcheng was busy until dark before he finally shook all the honey in the beehives.
Because the quantity is not large, all the honey can be stored in the honey shaker, and there is no need to shake it several times as before.
As dusk falls, the birds return to their nests and everything is quiet.
Gao Mingcheng was carrying a fully loaded honey extractor, walking down the mountain step by step. Although it was dark, he was very familiar with the situation in the mountains and could vaguely see the road conditions clearly.
Before I completely got down the mountain, I heard the familiar sound of a dog barking. It turned out that Black Tiger and the elf had come looking for me.
He didn't see the two dogs when he entered the mountains before, and he didn't know where they had gone.
The two dogs circled around him enthusiastically, appearing very intimate. Surrounded by the two dogs, Gao Mingcheng went down the mountain. However, when he saw the lights on in his house, he was stunned.
As I walked quickly into the yard, I heard rustling sounds coming from the kitchen.
During this period, he sometimes just made some food at home, sometimes went to his grandmother's house for meals, and sometimes went to his parents' house for meals.
But except himself, no one would come to his house to cook for him.
Gao Mingcheng was suspicious. He put down the honey extractor and honey knife in his hands and walked into the kitchen.
Under the light, a familiar figure was standing by the stove, cooking. Two plates of cooked dishes were already placed on the edge of the stove.
When Gao Mingcheng saw this person, his heart moved slightly and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
Just as I was about to call her, I saw that she had a strange expression on her face while cooking, as if she was holding back vomiting.
"Duomei, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Put it down, let me do it." Gao Mingcheng walked over quickly and snatched the shovel from Duomei's hand.
Xuanyuemei was stunned. Gao Mingcheng's footsteps were light and she was so focused on cooking that she didn't notice that he had returned.
Seeing Gao Mingcheng cooking while looking at her with concern, many beautiful women's faces were filled with smiles.
She smiled and said, "Ming Cheng, we are going to have a baby!"
A while ago, Xuanyuemei wanted to go back to the village. Deng Wanwan's performance was getting better day by day. With her and Gao Shufang in the store, they could handle the work. Therefore, Xuanyuemei wanted to go back to the village to help Gao Mingcheng.
But she felt a little unwell, as if she had caught a cold. She had no choice but to rest at home, but she did not take any medicine. She just boiled some ginger and brown sugar water, which can dispel the cold and warm the stomach. After it was boiled, she drank it while it was hot and then sweated. The cold in her body would dissipate and she would feel comfortable all over.
This is a folk remedy for treating colds, and it is a method that everyone in Gaojia Village knows. Ginger and brown sugar are relatively easy to obtain, and the effect is indeed quite good.
After drinking the ginger and brown sugar water and taking a nap, Xuanyuemei did feel better. But then Deng Wanwan found her privately and tactfully asked her to go to the hospital for a physical examination.
At first, many beauties just took it lightly, saying that although they felt a little uncomfortable, they were not sick and did not need to see a doctor.
Seeing this, Deng Wanwan had to explain it more clearly and told her that she suspected she was pregnant.
Xuanyuemei was shocked when she heard this, but then she felt happy. She went to see a doctor and confirmed that she was indeed pregnant and had been pregnant for more than a month.
Now that she was pregnant and feeling unwell, Xuanyuemei could not return to the village to help. However, she was eager to tell Gao Mingcheng the good news. So when she knew Gao Mingwan was going back to the village today, she came back in the pickup truck driven by Gao Mingwan.
If I ride a bicycle by myself, not to mention whether I have the physical strength to hold on, the cold wind blowing head-on is enough to make me feel daunting.
After Xuanyuemei came back, she did not see Gao Mingcheng. She looked around the house and found that the honey extractor was gone. She guessed that Gao Mingcheng must have gone to the mountains to extract honey.
She didn't know where Gao Mingcheng put the beehives, and she didn't dare go up the mountain for fear that something might happen, so she had to stay at home and cook a hearty dinner.
Many of the beauties were excited at this moment, chattering away.
She talked about her symptoms, what the doctor told her, and her fantasies about the baby in her belly, whether it was a boy or a girl, if it was a girl, what to name her, if it was a boy, what to name her, and so on.
She had been thinking about these things over and over for many days, but had no one to talk to. Now that she saw Gao Mingcheng, she blurted it all out.
Gao Mingcheng was also very happy when he heard that Xuanmei was pregnant, but when he calculated the day, he looked a little dazed.
In his previous life, he married Xuanyuemei in the autumn of 1987. Not long after the marriage, which was during the Chinese New Year, Xuanyuemei became pregnant with their eldest son. While Xuanyuemei was pregnant, he went out to work and did not come back for several months.
In this life, he established a relationship with Xuanyuemei in 1986 and got married in early 1987. At the beginning, because Xuanyuemei was young, he took protective measures and did not plan to get pregnant immediately.
But after Gao Zhuang had a child, he stopped taking any protective measures in the second half of last year, planning to have a child as fate would have it, but nothing happened.
now……
Counting the dates, I got pregnant at about the same time in my previous life and this life, so the child born should be my eldest son in my previous life!
Thinking of his eldest son, Gao Mingcheng felt that the impression of him in his mind was a little vague, but he felt that this was a good thing. Everyone has unlimited possibilities at the very beginning of life.
It is better not to look at him through the eyes of future generations.
"Mingcheng, are you happy?" After Xuanyuemei said a long string of words, she noticed that Gao Mingcheng didn't say anything.
She couldn't help but feel strange. Could it be that Gao Mingcheng was unhappy?
That shouldn’t be the case. The person who was pestering her all night long a while ago was Gao Mingcheng himself!
"Happy!" Gao Mingcheng said with a smile, but his hands did not stop moving. After the vegetables in the big iron pot were fried, he skillfully put them on a plate, and then casually poured half a bucket of water into the pot. The hot bottom of the pot was poured with cold water, making a sizzling sound.
After doing all this, he picked up Duomei and said sincerely: "I am very happy, Duomei, I will definitely treat you and the child well in the future."
Manyuemei never doubted this and nodded with a smile.
Gao Mingcheng gave her an unprecedented good life, and she trusted Gao Mingcheng very much and never doubted him at all.
This meal was particularly heart-warming, as many women had some symptoms of early pregnancy, such as being unable to smell cooking fumes, eating meat, and even feeling nauseous about white rice.
Therefore, at the dinner table, many people only eat vegetables and eat very little.
Gao Mingcheng tried to persuade her to eat some rice and meat, but she took a bite and threw it up out of disgust. Seeing this, Gao Mingcheng didn't dare to persuade her anymore.
He said sadly, "Why are your symptoms so severe? I think your second sister and He Xiuman are not as severe as you. Although they can't stand the smell of cooking fumes, they should eat and drink as they should."
Xuanyuemei said, "I don't know what's going on with He Xiuman, but my second sister also reacted strongly, but there was nothing she could do. There were only her and my brother in her family, but they had a lot of things to do. When she was pregnant, she was busy and had to do a lot of things every day. She couldn't eat, but if she didn't eat, her body would be weak and she wouldn't be able to work."
As she spoke, Manyumei sighed.
She felt a little sad. Perhaps it was because she was living a good life that the symptoms on her body were magnified, and she still had choices.
For example, if she can’t stand the smell of cooking fumes, then she doesn’t have to cook!
For example, if she can't eat, she can just starve herself. Anyway, Gao Mingcheng won't ask her to do this or that. She can have a good rest. As long as she gets through the early stages of pregnancy, her body will recover.
Gao Mingcheng really didn't want to ask her to do this and that, and said, "Don't cook anymore. I'll cook in Gaojia Village, and let Shufang and Wanwan cook in the county. Take good care of your health. Since you can't eat, can you drink milk powder and malted milk? I'll buy them tomorrow!"
"Oh, I just made some winter honey today. I'll make you a cup of honey water!"
As he said that, Gao Mingcheng hurried to get the honey water.
You need to use warm water to soak honey, not boiling water, otherwise the nutrients in the honey will be destroyed. The same applies to soaking milk powder, only warm water can be used, not boiling water.
Soon, he brought a large bowl of honey water and placed it in front of the many beauties.
Manyu Mei looked at the full bowl of honey water and was stunned at first, then said helplessly: "How can I drink so much!"
Gao Mingcheng said: "You can drink as much as you want, I'll drink the rest."
With his words, Xuanyuemei was no longer worried. She did not dare to drink in big gulps, but took small sips. After drinking two or three sips, she found that it was okay and she did not feel seriously nauseous, so she continued to drink.
But Gao Mingcheng had made too much honey water, so she only drank half of it and handed the rest to Gao Mingcheng, who took it and drank it all in one gulp.
That night, I went to bed early.
On the bed, the two of them lay side by side, Gao Mingcheng's hand was on the beautiful belly, as if he was feeling something, but the baby in her belly was only the size of a peanut, and there was no movement at all.
Gao Mingcheng felt a little disappointed. When he was about to speak, he heard a slight snoring sound. It turned out that Xuanyimei had fallen asleep.
After becoming pregnant, she became sleepier than before and even snored slightly when she slept.
Gao Mingcheng stared at her for a while and found that Xuanyimei looked haggard. It seemed that this child had caused great trouble to her mother.
Although he felt distressed, he couldn't do anything to replace them. He could only think of ways to provide them with food, so that at least the beauties wouldn't go hungry.
The next morning, it was the market day in Junling, so Gao Mingcheng went there early. He planned to buy some different vegetables for Xuanyue to eat, so that they would not eat just one or two things every day. He also went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy milk powder and malted milk.
Seeing people selling steamed buns and fried dough sticks at the market, he bought a few with each filling to see which ones the Americans would eat.
When he returned with a lot of things, the sleepy Mei had not yet woken up.
Gao Mingcheng did not wake her up, but went to the kitchen himself, opened the wooden lid of the pot, and a puff of hot steam came out, indicating that the porridge in the big iron pot was ready.
He got out a bowl of porridge and ate it with steamed buns and fried dough sticks.
Xuanyue woke up right after finishing her meal. When she saw Gao Mingcheng, she smiled shyly and said, "After I got pregnant, I always felt tired and sleepy."
Gao Mingcheng said, "It's good to sleep until you wake up naturally. Go wash up, and then come to have breakfast. I cooked porridge and eggs, and also bought buns and fried dough sticks. Do you think you can eat some?"
Xuanyuemei glanced at the table, her stomach growling with hunger, but she wasn't sure whether she could eat or not. Soon, she washed up and sat down at the table.
She started by eating white porridge, which she could actually eat. In recent days, she had been relying on white porridge to stay alive. But she couldn't eat too much of this porridge, otherwise she would vomit.
The eggs tasted fine, but she suddenly didn't like the yolks anymore, so she ate the egg whites and gave the yolks to Gao Mingcheng.
As for the buns, she ate a red bean paste bun, which was soft and sweet and tasted pretty good. As for the meat buns, vegetable buns, etc., she couldn't eat them at all.
She would feel nauseous after eating something greasy like fried dough sticks.
Gao Mingcheng watched her try different dishes and finally got an idea of what was going on. He planned to buy her different kinds of dishes later.
Last time he stayed in Wangqiao Town for a few days, he ate the bread there and thought it was pretty good.
Since Xuanmei can eat red bean paste buns, then maybe she can eat bread too. He planned to go there and buy some.
That day, Gao Mingcheng didn't have the energy to go out to work, he just wanted to guard the beauty.
Many beauties don't like to stay in one place without moving, but there is no other way in the county. In order to do business, they have to stay in the store all day long. This is also the helplessness of many businessmen.
They don't have the custom of not telling others about a pregnancy before three months, but they said they would only tell their closest relatives. Since Xuanyuemei wanted to go out, Gao Mingcheng simply took Xuanyuemei to his parents' house and tell the elders the good news.
He did not go empty-handed, he took two bottles of winter honey, which were freshly shaken yesterday. The taste was very sweet and rich. Eating a little bit from time to time can not only nourish the body, but also moisturize the intestines and facilitate bowel movements.
When they arrived at the old village, Gao Mingcheng took a few quick steps, first gave a bottle of honey to his grandmother's house, and then walked side by side with Xuanyue to his parents' house.
