Jian Yuelan and Ye Linxing were both good at keeping secrets. Apart from informing their elders immediately, they had not told anyone else about their pregnancy.
Zhou Xiaoxiao, the only person who knew about it, had no time to publicize it and was tight-lipped and would not publicize it on her own initiative.
Therefore, her pregnancy remained undiscovered until—
"Xiao Jian, help me."
Chen Qiuju, who was almost eight months pregnant, walked in like a penguin, holding her waist.
Jian Yuelan came out of the house, frightened by her big belly and quickly stepped forward to support her. "What can I do for you?"
"Help me cut the fabric. My hands are swollen and I can't use the scissors well."
She stretched out her hands to show Jian Yuelan, and each of her fingers was swollen like a carrot.
"I'll help you."
Jian Yuelan helped her sit on the chair, turned around and poured her a glass of honey water. It was at this time that Chen Qiuju discovered that something was wrong with her stomach.
This shape...
"Xiao Jian, you've gained a lot of weight." Pointing at her belly, Chen Qiuju said, "But why is your belly the only one that's fat?"
She looked curious.
Jian Yuelan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What the hell, only his belly was fat. "Let's say... is there a possibility that I am the same as you?"
"Like me?"
Chen Qiuju, who realized the implication of her words belatedly, widened her eyes and asked, "Are you pregnant?"
"Yeah."
"Ah, you're so tight-lipped."
She couldn't sit still any longer, so she stood up with difficulty, supported her waist, and walked around Jian Yuelan as if she were a pillar. She then reached out and touched her belly gently.
"Has it been three months?"
"It's full."
"You really are good at hiding."
It's been so long, and you haven't said a word.
"What can't be hidden? What is it?"
Lu Hehua, who came out with a basin of diapers, spoke curiously.
"Xiao Jian is pregnant, it's already been three months."
"This is a happy occasion."
Lu Hehua was delighted when she heard this and called out to Wu Yue, "Yueyue, Xiao Jian is pregnant. Hurry up and bring her a bottle of malted milk."
The loud voice immediately alarmed the neighbors.
In a flash, the sisters-in-law who heard the sound came out of the house to see Jian Yuelan.
After confirming that she was pregnant, he rushed home and got brown sugar, eggs and other things to nourish her body.
Jian Yuelan, who had been on guard against everything but still couldn't prevent this incident, couldn't refuse and could only accept it with a smile and then warmly entertain everyone.
After sending the person away, she sighed and sat on the chair, "It's hard to repay a debt of gratitude."
"That's because you're too particular."
Wu Yue, holding the child, chuckled, "Look at the family quarters. Who else is as obsessed with returning the favor as you are? You've always given the children food."
I have never seen her be stingy with candies, twisted dough sticks, biscuits, etc.
"If you really count it, we are the ones who have the advantage."
Mrs. Bai thought this made sense. "If you really want to settle things with us, then we have to first settle the cost of feeding the baby with you."
Seeing that Chen Qiuju was about to join the condemnation, Jian Yuelan quickly pleaded for mercy, "I was wrong, sisters-in-law, please stop talking. I won't say anything next time."
"That's more like it."
Mrs. Bai nodded in satisfaction, "I finally know what the houses in the west district are used for."
"What's it for?"
The houses in the west area have been under construction since the beginning of the year, and are now gradually being topped off. I originally thought they were training areas, but now it seems not to be the case.
“Factory.”
Jian Yuelan announced the answer: the factory building was completed and recruitment was about to begin, so there was no need to keep it secret any longer.
Chen Qiuju and the others became excited when they heard this, and looked at her with burning eyes, "The army wants to build a factory?"
"Um."
She nodded. "A cannery and a seafood factory."
Lu Hehua, who was sitting on a small stool washing diapers, had her eyes light up. "If we open a factory, do we need to hire workers?"
"Yes."
"Can I go?"
This is not clear.
“We’ll know when we start recruiting.”
There are no secrets on the island. The factory building in the west area has attracted the attention of countless people before. Now that it is completed, some people can't sit still and go to find out the news. The army did not want to hide it and directly said that they wanted to recruit workers for the factory.
Soon, the news spread throughout the island and caused a sensation.
Discussions about recruiting workers were everywhere.
Jian Yuelan had no interest in joining the factory and did not join the discussion, but the construction of the factory was related to the plan she proposed.
So, the quartermaster came to the door.
This guy is also very rude, the first thing he said was -
"Sister-in-law, I need your help."
Jian Yuelan, who was making onesie baby clothes, rolled her eyes. "Steward, you promised to tear down my oven and build me a new one. You didn't even fix my oven and you're still asking me for help. How dare you?"
"Thank you."
He was also quite shameless. Not only did he not feel embarrassed when he heard her words, but he also said confidently, "Sister-in-law, listen to my excuse, no, let me explain. It's not that I don't want to fix it for you, but I was too busy before. Now that I'm almost done, I'll come over to fix it for you in the next few days. Is that okay with you?"
"OK."
Since the quartermaster had said so much, Jian Yuelan naturally decided to stop while she was ahead, and she didn't want to ruin the relationship.
"How can I help you?"
The quartermaster looked around and, seeing no one around, whispered, "Try it. I feel like the squid slices, fish slices, and dried shrimp taste a little different from what you originally made."
This is a very serious problem.
What matters most when eating is the taste. If the food doesn’t taste good, no matter how good the raw materials are, it will be useless and you won’t be able to capture market share.
