The couple kissed for a while in the room.
Lu Huaijiao, who originally intended to be a considerate and virtuous wife, was ultimately pushed away by his pungent smell.
"Go take a shower, and use plenty of soap."
Gu Changzheng: ...
Looking down at his bulging pants, he helplessly ruffled Lu Huaijiao's hair.
"Wait for me quietly and don't move."
"I can't move even if I want to."
Lu Huaijiao was very aware of her current situation. Let alone moving, even shifting slightly would be dangerous for her.
Gu Changzheng kissed her protruding belly.
"Our baby has suffered a lot. Just bear with it a little longer, and you'll be free soon."
They had calculated that the due date would be around the Lunar New Year, and now that the Lunar New Year is almost here, the birth of their child is not far off.
Once the baby is born, his wife won't have to suffer so much.
Lu Huaijiao snorted, looking quite smug.
"It's enough that you know I've worked hard."
To be honest, her pregnancy was indeed quite difficult.
It wasn't that she was being delicate; it was simply because she was exhausted. With three children inside her, she felt like her stomach was about to burst.
During this period, she didn't even have time to watch Lu Sisi's antics.
Unable to go out, she could only occasionally ask 998 to inquire about what Lu Sisi was doing.
Knowing that she had been carrying manure every day until she was emaciated and that the spiritual spring had completely disappeared, Lu Huaijiao was happy.
Lu Sisi shouldn't have possessed anything like a spiritual spring at all.
Chosen one choosing a murderer? Are you kidding me?
A few days passed, and then came the time to prepare for the Lunar New Year.
The village is now on holiday, no one is working, and people are starting to prepare for the New Year, ready to celebrate in a lively atmosphere.
Early this morning, the village loudspeaker blared, instructing those who hadn't yet checked their work points to do so. Once everything was confirmed to be correct, either grain or money would be distributed. The brigade cadres were also preparing to rest.
There are many people in Dawancun, several hundred households plus educated youth, so there are many people who need to collect work points.
This work has been underway since the beginning of December, and today is the last day. If we miss today, we'll have to wait until next year to check our work points.
For people who rely on work points for a living, it's unlikely they would fail to keep track of their work points. After all, winter food and ration coupons all come from work points, right?
So many people had already calculated their work points, asked for grain, and even received a portion of the money before the New Year, and were happily preparing for it.
In villages like this, some families have five or six brothers, and they earn a lot of work points.
They used donkey carts to haul grain several times, which made some people extremely envious.
Some families have an exceptionally low number of work points.
The family with the fewest [items] is Gu Changzheng's family.
Lu Huaijiao hadn't been working much to begin with. The first half of the year was alright; she earned two or three work points a day, but she still went to work. However, after the Dragon Boat Festival, and after marrying Gu Changzheng, she simply stopped earning even two or three work points.
Gu Changzheng, who was already inconsistent in his work, became the laziest man in the whole village. He spent his days eating and sleeping with his wife...
Apart from the month of autumn harvest when he was forced to earn a full month of work points, he became inconsistent in his work afterward.
The villagers were all talking about how, if Lu Huaijiao hadn't come from the city and had a wealthy family that could support them indefinitely, she might have starved to death if she had married Gu Changzheng, that lazy bum.
They had never seen anyone as lazy as Gu Changzheng.
I don't know how I'll raise my child when I become a father.
However, the other villagers only talked about it in private; they didn't dare say it in front of others, otherwise they would probably be scolded by He Meizhu.
The villagers were very upset. They didn't know what was wrong with He Meizhu. Her youngest daughter-in-law was so lazy, but she protected her so fiercely.
The second daughter-in-law seems quite diligent, but if anyone dares to mention this second daughter-in-law to He Meizhu, she gets angry.
Even though they are both daughters-in-law, He Meizhu's attitude towards people is vastly different.
However, as everyone knows, this is what happened.
Ultimately, this is someone else's family matter, so it's not appropriate to say anything.
The announcement came over the loudspeaker again, calling for people to check their work points.
Lu Huaijiao looked at Gu Changzheng: "Aren't you going to check your work points? Can our family's work points be exchanged for 100 jin of grain?"
"Should be... about right?"
Gu Changzheng wasn't entirely sure either.
"Trading 100 jin of corn should be enough."
Lu Huaijiao wrinkled her nose.
One hundred pounds of corn?
Very few.
"Then go ask Mom if she wants corn or something else. Exchange our work points this year for grain for her."
"Um?"
Gu Changzheng looked at his wife with amusement.
"You'd exchange all your work points for a year's worth of food for Mom?"
"I told you to ask Mom what she wants, food or money?"
"Wife, you're so generous, no wonder your mother-in-law likes you so much, even more than her own son." Gu Changzheng seemed a little jealous?
Lu Huaijiao clicked her tongue. "When you're not home, it's Mom who takes care of me. What's wrong with giving her some food? Gu Changzheng, you're really stingy."
As she spoke, she instructed Gu Changzheng to send another hundred yuan to her mother once the grain was brought back, so that she could buy some New Year's goods.
