Especially in the wasteland at the foot of the mountain where sweet potatoes and potatoes are planted, when there is nothing to do, one can go down the mountain to weed and prune the potatoes and sweet potatoes when the weather is not hot.
Of course, she would only do the bare minimum for such a strenuous task, especially since she was pregnant and wouldn't let herself get too tired.
They would release the puppet at night when no one was around, and let it help with the work. The puppet was much faster than they were, and it could clear the weeds from two acres of land in one night.
And no one noticed the problem, which was a huge risk. If the patrol had discovered it, it would have been disastrous.
Fortunately, the patrolmen only come around midnight. After all, the people living here can be trusted. When they patrol, they mainly protect wild animals from coming down the mountain and prevent them from hurting people.
After going out a few more times, Tang Baozhu got to know the owner of the fields next to her two acres of wasteland, which was about a kilometer away from her, but not on this side of the stream, but on the other side of the road.
She looked quite old, probably around 40 years old. Of course, it's also possible that she looked older because she had worked too hard, because she had seen their children, and none of them looked very old.
There are four children in the family. They are all very sensible and obedient. They help their mother pull weeds in the fields. There are two boys and two girls. The eldest is a boy, who is probably fourteen or fifteen years old. The second one seems to be a girl, who is about ten years old. The last two are probably siblings, one is five or six years old and the other is two or three years old.
The difference is quite large, but it's understandable if the man is serving in the military and the couple wasn't together before.
Looking at her two youngest children, Tang Baozhu thought that one of them would definitely have to go to the countryside in the future, possibly the youngest one. After all, if the youngest child was in a hurry, he could get married earlier and avoid this disaster.
Suddenly I realized I was overthinking things. What business is it of hers whether other people's children go to the countryside or not?
The neighbor's children were taught by their mother to be very polite. Every time they saw Tang Baozhu, they would greet her as "Auntie" or "Auntie" or something similar.
So later, when Tang Baozhu went to the fields, she would unconsciously put a few candies in her pocket, hoping to give them some candies when she met them.
They were very polite at first and wouldn't accept the candy, but their mother eventually agreed and they accepted it.
In this day and age, it is truly rare to raise a child so well, to have the virtue of not wanting food from others even if they are tempted by it.
She would go to the well to fetch water every one or two days. Tang Baozhu was amazed when she first went there. The water was extremely cold, truly worthy of being mountain spring water.
She felt that the spring water was hundreds of times better than the modern spring water in her own country. Later, when no one was paying attention, she divided it into several portions and filled two gourds to the brim with spring water. Each gourd could hold several hundred cubic meters of water.
Of course, she didn't throw away the filtered spring water that her brother Xu had stocked up for her in the modern world. It was all drinkable water, just in case she needed it someday.
However, she has no shortage of storage containers for storing water, so storing more water is not a problem.
That icy mountain spring water is as cold as water kept fresh in a refrigerator, but water filtered through the cracks in the rocks is definitely cleaner and safer.
When Feng Yi was gone for the first month, she felt a little out of sorts. After a month and a half, she felt all alone. And after two months, she started to miss him.
No wonder they all say that being a military spouse requires enduring loneliness, because military personnel are often on missions and it's uncertain when they will return. If you can't manage both home and work, your life will definitely be a mess.
Tang Baozhu felt a little regretful. The baby in her belly was almost three months along, and she hadn't told the father yet. Now that things were starting to go up and down, she wondered if she would give him a shock when he came back.
It's been two months since they left, and I haven't even received a letter. I wonder what kind of secret mission they're on. But it seems like there's fighting in many places right now, so I can understand why they can't write letters. I'm just a little worried.
If it weren't for her memories of her past life reminding her that Feng Yi lived to a very old age before passing away, Tang Baozhu would never be as at peace as she is now.
Knowing that he would be safe and sound in the future, I wasn't too worried about his safety; I just missed him terribly.
When she was four months pregnant, Feng Yi still hadn't returned. She felt that if he didn't come back soon, she might forget what he looked like.
It's been such a long time. No wonder she's so forgetful. They'd only known each other for a little over two months, and now it's been more than three months since they last saw each other. The fact that she can vaguely remember his face is a testament to her excellent memory.
That day, Tang Baozhu was idly sunbathing in the yard, stroking her already protruding belly. She was always worried that she had eaten too much, which was why her belly started to swell up after four months. If she hadn't remembered that she had only eaten one pregnancy soup, she would have worried that there were several in it, which was why it was so big.
After all, this wasn't her first pregnancy. She still remembered how big her belly was with her first child. So she had a thought in her mind: maybe she already had a baby in her belly when she took the Pregnancy Pill, and taking another pill would double the amount. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why her belly was so big.
She had been waiting for Feng Yi to come back so he could accompany her to the hospital for a check-up, but unfortunately, he's been gone for more than three months and hasn't returned yet, so the check-up has to be put on hold.
Moreover, current medical conditions are just so-so. Apart from a few skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctors who can diagnose through pulse diagnosis, don't even think about it. And there's no advanced medical equipment available either.
"Sister-in-law, are you home?"
Tang Baozhu was sitting in the courtyard when she heard someone calling her from outside. She quickly got up and opened the courtyard gate, since the voice sounded like someone she knew.
When Tang Baozhu was not going out, she would close the courtyard gate, worried that if a wild animal suddenly ran down from the mountain, she might get hurt.
When I opened the door, it was indeed a familiar face – Hu Yong. The five of them had come to my house to help several times, so I was already quite familiar with them.
"Oh, it's Hu Yong. He looks so anxious, is something wrong?"
