On the other side, Tian Yuzhu had no choice but to take An Fei'er up the mountain. Having Xiao Hei accompany her made her feel at ease.
After all, the earthquake had just happened, and not many sisters-in-law dared to go up the mountain today.
That's Zhao Cui, Wang Xiu Di, and Liu Xiao Hui.
Liu Xiaohui used to look down on perilla oil, but after having a taste of it once at Wang Xiudie's house, she actively joined the perilla picking team.
Today's harvest was also good, everyone picked a full basket.
Tian Yuzhu also took them to find a large patch of ferns. After picking the ferns, they accidentally discovered a Chinese toon tree.
That's good stuff. The newly grown toon on the tree is delicious. It can be eaten cold or dried and crushed to use as a seasoning.
In summer, add some chopped toon to cold dishes, and the fragrance will instantly spread, and the whole taste will be enhanced.
The only downside is that it is difficult to pick them, after all, they are on a big tree and you have to climb up.
None of the three sisters-in-law looked like they could climb trees. Wang Xiu Di was the oldest, and she just shook her head when she saw such a tall tree.
Liu Xiaohui is spoiled and she doesn't have that ability.
Although Zhao Cui didn't dare to climb, she was brave enough to spit into her hands and say, "Let me try."
"Sister-in-law, you should take a rest!"
Tian Yuzhu pulled her back with amusement.
Climbing a tree is not difficult for her, but she has a baby in her belly, so she has to be careful.
Putting the knife in her mouth, Tian Yuzhu climbed up the Chinese toon tree nimbly.
Then use a knife to carefully cut off the tender branches. After cutting, they will grow again and you can enjoy the delicious taste throughout the spring.
The cut toona sinensis were thrown off the tree, and the three sisters-in-law picked them up and tied them into small bundles.
In the end, there were five small bundles in total, one for each of the three sisters-in-law, and Wang Xiudi put two bundles into her bamboo basket while Tian Yuzhu climbed the tree.
There is no need to argue over trivial matters, and Tian Yuzhu was not polite.
However, she still took the initiative to remind everyone: "My sisters-in-law, you must not mention my tree climbing in front of Zhentang. If you really ask, just say that it was Sister Zhao Cui who picked the toon."
"Okay, we know Captain Shi loves you."
The sisters-in-law didn't know that she was pregnant and they all misunderstood.
We found a shady place to chat and laugh while we rested, and agreed to go to the town to press perilla oil together the day after tomorrow.
Wang Xiudi suddenly remembered and asked, "By the way, Xiaohui, when are you going to report? I heard that the army has cleared a piece of land to build a small courtyard, which will be used as a school in the future. We don't have many students in the army right now, so we will expand it when there are more students."
Liu Xiaohui was in high spirits when she was happy. She smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I've passed the exams anyway. I'll go back to work sooner or later."
Wang Xiudi then said, "I guess school will officially open in September this year!"
"Hey sister-in-law, do you think I can bring my kid from my hometown to go to school here?" Zhao Cui did not plan to stay here forever when she came to join the army this time. After all, her kid was still going to school in her hometown and was in the third grade. She only planned to go back after a few months.
But now that the army has its own school, she can re-plan her future.
Wang Xiudi nodded: "Of course, that's fine. You'd be foolish not to bring the child over. The children raised in our army are definitely better than those outside. Go back and discuss it with your husband and prepare to transfer the child to another school!"
"Oh." Zhao Cui was happy from the bottom of her heart. This way, she and her baby would not have to be separated, and she could be with her man day and night!
"By the way, Yuzhu, you should give birth to a baby soon. After the baby is born, we will help you take care of it." Wang Xiu Di is a warm-hearted person. Her children have grown up and have returned to Beijing to attend high school. Now she is simply bored.
But before Tian Yuzhu could even open her mouth, the little girl An Fei'er immediately started to tell her: "Auntie, my Aunt Yuzhu is pregnant."
"What, Fei'er, what did you say?"
Everyone looked surprised, but how could what a child said be true?
So everyone looked at Tian Yuzhu at the same time, only to see her pursed her lips embarrassedly: "Fei'er is right, I am indeed... pregnant!"
She guessed that the little girl overheard the adults chatting while she was at home.
"What?"
Wang Xiu Di was immediately furious.
The other two sisters-in-law also turned pale.
"Oh Yuzhu, you really are... you... why didn't you tell me you were pregnant earlier? I even asked you to climb a tree just now. You really are..."
"No wonder they told us not to tell Captain Shi. So that's what happened."
"Yuzhu, you are too careless. How can you climb a tree like this?"
This scared everyone. They deserved to die for letting a pregnant woman climb a tree.
Seeing everyone so anxious, Tian Yuzhu felt both happy and amused, and raised her voice and called out, "Dear sisters-in-law."
After they calmed down, he continued, "I'm really fine. Look at me, I don't look like I'm in trouble. Besides, I know whether I can climb or not. Look at my body, I'm as strong as an ox. When I was back home, even my uncle couldn't beat me. I can carry anything that men can carry. Don't worry, okay? We'll handle things as they should. Don't treat me like a woman, treat me like a man."
this……
The sisters-in-law looked at each other in amazement, and then they couldn't help laughing.
“Yuzhu, did you really fight with your uncle?”
"He really can't beat you?"
"Hahaha, you girl!"
Tian Yuzhu was so upset that she couldn't help but said, "Tsk..."
Laughing together with my sisters-in-law.
…
In the evening, Shi Zhentang looked at the three dishes on the table.
A plate of steamed fish, a bowl of braised pork, and a large bowl of fried crispy pork.
Such good food is comparable to the Chinese New Year.
But these three dishes were sent by the three sisters-in-law, just for Yuzhu to try.
After saying this, he put down the dishes and left in a hurry, leaving Shi Zhentang confused.
Only Tian Yuzhu knew that her sisters-in-law were feeling guilty about her climbing the tree today, so they sent her some food. So she didn't tell the whole truth, but only half of it, and told the man: "My sisters-in-law know that I'm pregnant!"
Shi Zhentang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This is a good thing. It's good to know. From now on, when I'm not around, my sisters-in-law will take better care of you for me."
Tian Yuzhu nodded with a smile: "Come on, Fei'er, start eating!"
Anfei immediately took a big bite. She was so hungry.
"Auntie, is my mother off work yet?"
"Not yet. Eat your meal obediently. After you finish eating, play with Xiao Hei. Ask Da Hu and Er Hu to come and play too."
"Uh-huh!"
Tian Yuzhu and Shi Zhentang exchanged glances.
I guess Ye Qingqing is still living in a drunken stupor. It's already this late and there's no movement in her house.
After dinner, Shi Zhentang didn't let her touch water. He cleaned up all the dishes himself. Tian Yuzhu then carried An Fei'er to Ye Qingqing's house.
Before leaving, I brought two hot steamed buns in a bowl.
When she pushed open the door of Room 14, she saw that Ye Qingqing had woken up, but was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed, smoking.
