Chapter 139 Green Vegetables
Today is Sunday and Gu Cheng is also at home. As soon as he came in from outside, he saw Gu Yanyan squatting in front of the fireplace.
He put his thumb in his mouth and bit it. He looked either hungry or gluttonous.
Not long after breakfast, Gu Yanyan had a bowl of winter melon and lean meat porridge in the morning, so it is unlikely that he is hungry now.
It looks like a roasted sweet potato.
Liu Yinyin joked with Gu Cheng, "Your son will definitely be a foodie in the future."
Gu Yanyan is really not picky about food, he likes to eat everything and has a good appetite.
He now eats almost the same amount as Liu Yinyin for every meal.
Of course, it’s also because Liu Yinyin is afraid of getting fat, so she doesn’t eat much.
Gu Cheng smiled, glanced at Liu Yinyin, and said meaningfully: "We can afford to raise another one."
Liu Yinyin choked: "......"
This man's only thought is to have another child, whether it's a boy or a girl.
However, Liu Yinyin never gave in.
Well, when it comes to having a child, a man only needs to give one sperm.
But women suffer much more: pregnant, giving birth, raising children...each of them is very tiring.
Even though Gu Cheng is a good husband and a good father.
Liu Yinyin doesn’t dare to have any more children at the moment, as she was able to raise Gu Yanyan to this age.
Only those who have experienced it know the hardships involved.
The most important thing is that Gu Yanyan is still so young. If she gives birth to two babies now, she will definitely not even have the chance to go out.
Liu Yinyin doesn't want to live that kind of life.
Suppressing these messy thoughts, she just said: "Why are you talking about this again? Didn't you say that we would have a child when the harvest season gets better?"
To be honest, she felt a little guilty, and she couldn't just tell Gu Cheng that she didn't want the child, or else the man would definitely overthink it.
It can only be delayed for a while.
Gu Cheng thought: "If we work hard now, we will be able to have a baby in time for the autumn harvest next year."
Liu Yinyin smiled awkwardly: "...Who told you that next autumn harvest will definitely be a good year with a bumper harvest?"
"What's the matter?" Gu Cheng glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Is it possible that the harvest next year will also be bad?"
Liu Yinyin felt uneasy when he looked at her. Why did she feel like Gu Cheng was testing her?
Shaking her head, Liu Yinyin laughed dryly, "How should I know? I just heard it from the old people in the village. Look, it hasn't snowed this winter yet. They said that the harvest next autumn will definitely be lower."
Liu Yinyin knew that the real situation was more serious than this, but she couldn't say it.
Actually...it's useless to say it. Some things are bound to happen, and speaking out won't change anything.
Thinking about it, Liu Yinyin said confidently: "Anyway, Gu Yanyan is still young, let's talk about having children when he is older. Otherwise, I can't take care of two children by myself."
Gu Chengxi suppressed the gloom that flashed across his eyes, curled his lips and smiled: "I'll listen to you..."
"Dad..." Gu Yanyan staggered over and hugged his thighs. The fat boy pointed at the sweet potatoes in the fireplace and said in a baby voice, "Ci!"
The skin of the sweet potato has changed color due to baking, and it looks cooked.
Gu Cheng went to peel sweet potatoes for his son.
The roasted sweet potatoes are soft, glutinous and sweet, and are loved by both mother and son.
Liu Yinyin had just finished eating half a sweet potato when she heard someone calling her in the yard.
After giving the remaining half of the sweet potato to Gu Cheng to eat, Liu Yinyin wiped her hands and went out.
The person outside the door is Huang Xiaoyue: "Yinyin..."
It was quite cold outside, so Liu Yinyin asked hurriedly, "Third sister-in-law, come in and sit down?"
Huang Xiaoyue has been in Liujia Village for half a month. During this half month, the Liu family has been very peaceful. The sisters-in-law are very harmonious with each other and nothing foul has happened.
However, farmers are idle now, there is no work to do in the fields, and there is only so much work to do at home. There are several people in the Liu family, including mother-in-law and daughters-in-law, and each person can only do a little housework.
Huang Xiaoyue might feel bored, so she often comes to the end of the village to find Liu Yinyin.
There's nothing else to do, so just sit for a while and chat about family matters.
Huang Xiaoyue was wearing a black cotton hat on her head. The hat looked very thick and warm, able to protect against the cold winter wind.
Perhaps because the food was good, she was not like most other women in the village, skinny and with not a pound of flesh on her body.
On the contrary, Huang Xiaoyue has a slightly plump figure, giving people a very healthy feeling.
She exhaled, smiled and said, "I'm not going in, Yinyin, I have something to talk to you about. Can you... accompany me back to my parents' home?"
Go back to your mother's home?
Liu Yinyin was very puzzled: "... Third sister-in-law, why don't you let Third Brother go back with you?"
Half a month after their marriage, the couple is in the sweet spot of their love.
Huang Xiaoyue is free now and wants to go back to her parents' home. Liu Mingyuan should have time to accompany her.
Did the two of them have a quarrel?
She glanced at Huang Xiaoyue carefully...and it didn't look like they had a quarrel.
She was hesitating, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
Liu Yinyin was a little worried: "Third sister-in-law, just say whatever you want to say."
Huang Xiaoyue hesitated for a long time before she spoke: "Mingyuan will go too, but Yinyin, I still want you to go with me."
Liu Yinyin was confused: "What happened? What happened? Did Third Brother bully you?"
Has it gotten to the point where I have to go back to my parents' home to resolve the problem?
"No." Huang Xiaoyue explained quickly, "Don't get me wrong, Mingyuan is very good to me, it's just..."
Seeing that there was no one around, Huang Xiaoyue lowered her voice and asked her, "Yinyin, do you want to eat some vegetables?"
"Green vegetables? What are you referring to, Third Sister-in-law?" Huang Xiaoyue looked mysterious, so she probably wasn't talking about the usual radishes and cabbages.
However, the weather now is not suitable for growing vegetables.
Could it be that Huang Xiaoyue has other ways to grow vegetables?
"It's a long story...you'll know if you come with me." It was hard to explain in a few words, so Huang Xiaoyue still wanted to take Liu Yinyin to Shuangxi Village for a look.
Liu Yinyin was silent for a moment, but her curiosity was aroused, so she agreed to go to Shuangxi Village with Huang Xiaoyue.
The two agreed to go after lunch.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Gu Cheng heard Liu Yinyin say that she was going to Shuangxi Village in the afternoon. He was afraid that something might happen and wanted to go with her.
Liu Yinyin shook her head and said, "No need. You stay at home with Yanyan. It's still quite cold outside. Don't take him out."
This was not the first time that Liu Yinyin went to Shuangxi Village. Besides, Huang Xiaoyue was there. She was his sister-in-law, so she would not harm her.
It doesn’t matter whether Gu Cheng goes or not.
If the couple hadn't quarreled, Liu Mingyuan wouldn't have had to go.
It takes an hour to walk to Shuangxi Village.
For the sake of convenience, Liu Yinyin simply took Huang Xiaoyue back to Shuangxi Village by bicycle, and Liu Mingyuan did not go.
