Around five in the afternoon, the sun began to wither away from its scorching heat.
Wen Jianguo and Wen Wancai each carried a backpack back home.
"Wife, I'll give you more of the red dates you like." Wen Jianguo put down the backpack, took out a bag of red dates and walked into the kitchen.
Tian Xiaocao, who was cutting vegetables, turned around and smiled gently, "Jianguo, it's just right to bring back the red dates. Wash five taels of them and I'll steam the red date cakes later."
She didn't find any red dates at home just now, so she thought of making them into egg cake directly. But since she had red dates, she would make red date cake. Girls are good for their health if they eat more red dates.
Wen Jianguo took the kitchen knife and asked, "Wife, how do you cook the radish?"
"Cut it into pieces and put it in the bone soup."
After taking a look at the sweet and warm conversation between his elder brother and sister-in-law in the kitchen, Wen Wan turned around and quietly returned to his room.
Taking out a notebook, Wen Guan wrote down the quantity of red dates, black fungus, and dried radishes purchased today.
Oh, yes, Wen Wan suddenly remembered that she almost forgot to send a package to Zhou Haoting who was far away in the army.
Wen Guan got up immediately, locked the door, slipped into the space, and took out the dried radishes she had processed and dried in the space.
After taking a look at the big fat pigs in the ranch that were not yet mature, Wen Guan saw the dried mushrooms next to them and planned to make vegetarian sauce directly.
"Xiao Wan, come out and eat." Wen Jianguo put down the bone soup in his hand and shouted while standing under the eaves.
Hearing the voice, Wen Wan straightened his clothes and opened the door to go out, "Brother, is mom back?"
"I'm back. You're the only one missing." Wen Jianguo nodded his chin towards the main room.
Wen Wan quickly raised his hand, "Mom and Dad..." and greeted everyone one by one before even sitting down.
Cui Yulan gently patted the seat next to her, "Xiao Wan, come and sit here."
As he spoke, he scooped a bowl of soup with bones and meat and placed it in front of Wen Wan.
"Mom, please eat quickly. I'll do it myself." Wen Wan said with a warm heart.
The food was so delicious that several people couldn't put down their chopsticks and kept eating one bite after another.
When he was about 80% full, Wen Wan put down his chopsticks, scooped a bowl of soup and drank it slowly in small sips.
Seeing Tian Xiaocao's belly as big as a basket, "Sister-in-law, are you about to give birth?" Wen Guan asked curiously.
Tian Xiaocao paused and turned to look at Wen's mother. This was her first pregnancy and she had never given birth before.
"Well... Xiaocao is about eight months old now. She will probably give birth around the end of May." Cui Yulan estimated the time in her mind.
A trace of worry flashed in Wen Wan's eyes, "Mom, I see that my sister-in-law's belly is a little big, are she pregnant with twins?" Even though she had never eaten pork, she had seen pigs run.
Cui Yulan nodded, “It should be, Grandma Shen came to see it.”
Wen Wan's face was full of question marks, who is Granny Shen? She didn't remember any barefoot doctor named Chen.
Seeing Wen Wan's confusion, Cui Yulan smiled and explained,
“Grandma Shen is a midwife from a nearby village. I asked her to come and see, and I told her the approximate time. When your sister-in-law gives birth, she will come to deliver the baby.”
Hearing this, Wen Wan frowned slightly. She felt that it was not appropriate.
"Mom, I'm thinking of letting my sister-in-law go to the hospital to give birth and stay in the hospital a few days in advance."
Giving birth to a child is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman, not to mention that Tian Xiaocao is giving birth to twins, so the risk is even higher.
To put it bluntly, if the baby cannot be born in the village, what can the midwife do? By then, both the adult and the child will be dead.
Before Cui Yulan could speak, Tian Xiaocao shook her head and refused, "No, I'll give birth in the village."
