Chapter 56 It is best to have a girl

And a bag of peanut candy.

It contains both peanuts and sugar, and you can tell it’s good stuff at first glance.

Tiedan and Goudan were drooling at the sight of this, but Chen Cuijuan didn't say anything. They swallowed so hard that their saliva became numb, but they didn't dare to reach out to take it.

Swallowing saliva and sucking snot at the same time.

Chen Cuijuan's eyes hurt from watching this, so she broke off a small piece for each of them and said, "Alright, alright, hurry up and do what you need to do, why are you standing here?"

These two kids have big mouths that leak air.

Not knowing whether her daughter would write something shameful in the letter like last time, Chen Cuijuan drove the two little guys away.

Wang Xiulan was also eating peanut candy.

She had never eaten such delicious candy. Unlike ordinary candy which only tastes sweet, it also has the crispness and crunchiness of peanuts.

Take a bite, the delicate peanuts explode in your mouth, so delicious that you'll be infatuated with it.

My mother’s family has never eaten anything so delicious.

Wang Xiulan began to get restless and wanted to take two pieces back to her parents' home.

As soon as I had this thought, Chen Cuijuan glared back at me: "Youyou didn't like living at home before, but now you seem to enjoy eating the food you sent back."

Wang Xiulan felt guilty and forced a smile: "Mom, wasn't I blinded by lard at that time?"

Chen Cuijuan was too lazy to say more to her.

She finally understood that the eldest brother and his wife were just like that donkey.

The benefits that Gu Ye, the military officer's son-in-law, might bring to them were dangling in front of them like a carrot.

Shen Dahe finally began to read the letter.

As soon as Chen Cuiying heard her daughter's letter, a smile broke out on her face.

When I heard that she really became a teacher and was pregnant, I laughed so hard that I kept clapping my legs.

"I said Youyou is like me, I can get along well wherever I go. Look, she joined the army and became a teacher! How amazing!"

Wang Xiulan never thought that her sister-in-law could actually become a teacher.

At the same time, I got pregnant.

My heart suddenly felt complicated.

How come my sister-in-law has such a good life?

Her parents treat her well, the man she found is also promising, and now she has such a good job. If she gives birth to a son, wouldn't her life be perfect?

I am so envious.

Later in the reading, I heard Shen Zhiyou say that the doctor praised her good health.

Now, Chen Cuijuan and Shen Dahe were both proud.

The couple looked at each other, and Chen Cuijuan said, "I'll get her some more peppers and pickles this time. That girl loves what I cook. Grandpa, you should go out more recently and see if you can get some mountain products. Dry them and send them to Youyou and the others."

Shen Dahe got some more dry cigarettes and started smoking. He nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow I'll go to the next commune and buy two grass carps. I'll dry them and send them to her."

Fish is good for the body and it tastes delicious even if it is dried and steamed.

And after a while, she can take some to work and eat it when she is hungry.

Chen Cuijuan thought more than Shen Dahe.

This woman's taste is very strange when she is pregnant. In addition to salty and spicy food, she may also like sour and sweet food.

In the evening, Chen Cuijuan ran to the yard of Shen Zhiyou's grandmother's house and got some apricots, intending to dry them into dried apricots and send them over.

Gu's mother and others also received the package at the same time.

I saw that there were peppercorns and chili peppers again. I had no money or tickets, so only that small bag of peanut crisps was worth some money.

Except for Gu's mother, everyone else looked unhappy.

After reading the letter, Jin Fengyan's first reaction was: "My sister-in-law is a teacher and earns her own salary. It would be fine if she didn't send more money back, but why did she send so little?"

No one else spoke.

But it was obviously what she thought.

Mother Gu glared at her angrily and said, "I just became a teacher and haven't received my salary yet, so why should I send money? Besides, didn't you write in the letter that I had to buy things when I just went there? Now Youyou is pregnant again, so I need to spend money too.

We all came from this time, can't you put yourself in Youyou's shoes and think about it?"

Mother Gu speaks nicer words than anyone else.

I have more ideas in my mind than anyone else.

Jin Fengyan curled her lips, not knowing whether Shen Zhiyou was pregnant with a boy or a girl.

It would be best if the baby is a girl, so that the money for the second child can still belong to Hu Zi and Bao Zi.

I looked at the half-built house again.

The house will also be theirs by then.

————

After she got pregnant, in addition to the eggs at home, Gu Ye would buy some eggs from time to time.

Anyway, Shen Zhiyou must eat at least one egg every day.

If she doesn’t have a good appetite in the morning, I’ll cook it and let her put it in her pocket. She can eat it whenever she’s hungry.

The military school is a bit far from where they live, and it usually takes twenty minutes to walk there.

Gu Ye even got a bicycle and rode it to pick her up!

I also tied a cushion to the bicycle seat so that my butt wouldn't hurt.

Shen Zhiyou was so surprised, as if she had met him for the first time.

You know, although the terrain of their base is relatively flat, once you leave the base, the surrounding areas are all bumpy mountain roads.

Once you buy this bike, you can ride it in their area.

Gu Ye didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior.

Seeing that Shen Zhiyou was reluctant to get on the car, he wanted to just carry her to the back.

When she finally got on the bike, Gu Ye said, "I was planning to teach you how to ride a bike sometime, but it's not possible now that you're pregnant. I'll teach you after you give birth."

Shen Zhiyou has become numb.

They didn't need to tell anyone about Gu Ye's situation. Before long, everyone in the family compound knew that she was pregnant.

The first person to come and see her was Fu Chunmei, who lived next door to them.

Fu Chunmei also brought two cakes she made herself. As soon as she entered the house, she complained: "We live so close to each other, and I thought you and I had the best relationship. But you didn't tell me that you became a teacher, and you didn't tell me that you were pregnant. I had to hear about it from other people."

Shen Zhiyou was a little embarrassed.

She is not a person who likes to show off.

Besides, Fu Chunmei really loves to chat everywhere. Telling her is like talking to every household through a loud speaker.

Fortunately, Fu Chunmei did not keep brooding over this matter.

She came here for two reasons, one was to find out whether Shen Zhiyou was pregnant with a son or a daughter, and two, because she had some new gossip to tell her!
