Chapter 372: Change of Personnel

It’s not like now, when we eat well and dress well.

We have settled down in such a wonderful place on the island. Good fortunes are yet to come.

Brother Liu and his family were about to leave after dinner.

I have to go and clean up the house first.

Liu Yinyin also has her own things to do. She will go back to work tomorrow and has to take care of things at home today.

So I didn't go to see them off.

In the afternoon, Liu Yinyin was cleaning inside while Gu Cheng was busy growing vegetables.

When the weather is cold, you can grow some cold-resistant vegetables to eat.

Before she finished her work, Zheng Qiangwei came to find Liu Yinyin.

Her belly is almost five months old and is now very noticeable.

However, Zheng Qiangwei's belly was just a little bigger, and the rest of her body looked a little thinner than before.

He doesn't look very well.

Liu Yinyin put down the work in her hands: "How are you now? Do you have a better appetite?"

Zheng Qiangwei said worriedly, "I vomited a lot at night. Sometimes I couldn't sleep. I had no appetite and could only eat spicy food."

"I didn't expect it would be so difficult to have a child. If I had known..."

If she had known this, she would not have given birth on the island.

Not only was she helpless, but there was also no doctor specializing in gynecology on the island.

When the time comes to give birth, I'm afraid I'll have to invite a doctor from Qing City's hospital.

Liu Yinyin thought about it and found a bag of dried green plums that Liu Ersao had given her.

"Try this and see if it's edible. When I was in my hometown, other pregnant women liked this dried green plum very much, saying that it can stimulate appetite."

Zheng Qiangwei took a bite and her face wrinkled up immediately because of the sour taste: "No, this is too sour, I can't eat it."

Liu Yinyin also grabbed a piece and tasted it: "It's okay, it doesn't taste too sour to me."

Zheng Rose: “…”

After she became pregnant, her taste changed a bit. She started to like spicy food and avoided sour food.

"I heard people say that sour boys and spicy girls are more likely to be pregnant. Sister-in-law, do you think I'm pregnant with a girl?"

Liu Yinyin glanced at her and said, "There is such a saying in the countryside, but it has no scientific basis and is not very accurate. Don't think too much about it...it's the same for boys and girls."

Zheng Qiangwei smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not the old-fashioned person who favors boys over girls. I like both boys and girls. It's also nice to have a cute little girl."

"Besides, I'm looking forward to becoming your in-laws. It would be great to have a daughter."

Liu Yinyin: “…”

"Oh, right." Zheng Qiangwei skipped the topic and talked about something else. "I didn't let Haicao do housework. She's pregnant like me, and her belly is showing. I don't feel comfortable telling her to do this or that."

The main thing is that Haicao is a pregnant woman. If something happens in her home, the consequences will be very serious.

By then, people will surely accuse her of oppressing the common people, let alone a pregnant woman.

Liu Yinyin thoughtfully asked: "...So you cook for yourself now?"

Zheng Qiangwei nodded: "That's right, but I don't look very good, and I don't like the smell of cooking fumes. I have asked Aunt Wang to help me find a suitable helper in the village."

It would be impossible not to find someone to help her, not to mention that her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and there are some housework that she can't do at all.

Furthermore, she is a pregnant woman, and it is not good for her to be alone in the family. If something happens, she will not be able to find anyone to help her.

Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "My second sister-in-law... the one you met is the sister-in-law who came to the island to visit relatives last time. She also came to the island with me this time."

"My second sister-in-law doesn't have a job. If it's possible... you can consider her."

As for Mrs. Liu, she will definitely be happy if she can make money.

Zheng Qiangwei understood what she meant: "Is your sister-in-law willing to do this?"

"Of course I am willing." Liu Yinyin did not hide the truth from her, "My second sister-in-law has two children, a boy and a girl. The girl is already seven years old. When the army primary school starts, she will be sent to school."

"The boy is not even two years old yet. If he comes to work at your house, I will probably have to bring the child with me."

Seeing Zheng Qiangwei's hesitant look...

Liu Yinyin added: "If it doesn't work, forget it, don't worry about me."

It is indeed a bit inconvenient to work with a child, and she just didn't consider it.

Zheng Qiangwei thought for a moment and said truthfully: "That's not what I meant. It's just that your second sister-in-law came to the island to visit relatives, didn't she? Does she have to go back?"

What if Liu Ersao passes away one day, won’t she have to find someone new?

Zheng Qiangwei didn't want to go through all the trouble and bother, so she might as well just find someone she could work with for a long time.

As for taking care of the children, she has no objection as long as it doesn't interfere with work.

Liu Yinyin said with a sigh: "Don't worry about that. My second brother and his family are planning to settle down on the island, and my second sister-in-law will live on the island for a long time this time."

Zheng Qiangwei suddenly realized: "Okay, if she has no objection, she can come to my house and help as soon as possible."

She believed in Liu Yinyin, and the person she introduced would definitely not be too bad.

Liu Yinyin nodded and said, "I will go talk to her about this later. Don't worry, my second sister-in-law is used to working in the countryside. She will definitely be able to do some housework well."

"If she does something wrong... just tell her directly, or fire her, but don't worry about my face."

Liu Yinyin was not 100% sure whether Mrs. Liu was suitable for working for others.

Zheng Qianwei nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not someone who will let myself suffer losses."

After Zheng Qiangwei left, Liu Yinyin wanted to continue working.

Suddenly she realized that the dried green plums she had intended to give to Zheng Qiangwei had been eaten by her...

Liu Yinyin: “…”

She crossed her fingers and saw that there were still three days left until her period started.

Liu Yinyin shook her head, thinking that she must be overthinking.

Even if she was really pregnant, it would be impossible for her to react so quickly.

Moreover, apart from eating half a bag of dried green plums, there was no other abnormality in Liu Yinyin's body.

I had a big meal at noon.

After being busy all afternoon, Liu Yinyin didn't feel like cooking.

Gu Cheng went to the cafeteria and ordered two dishes, steamed sea bass and lettuce with garlic sauce.

The staple food also includes the mixed-wheat steamed buns left over from lunch.

I had a simple meal.

After dinner, it was almost dark.

It gets dark early in winter, and by the time she arrives at Brother Liu's house, the whole family might have already gone to bed.

Liu Yinyin didn't go out.

The next day, before going to work, Liu Yinyin went to Brother Liu's house.

Mrs. Liu was carrying a wooden barrel at the moment. She was budgeting carefully and was going to go to the beach to dig up some seafood to eat, so as to save some money on food.

"Second sister-in-law..." I happened to meet Second Sister-in-law Liu at the village gate, and Liu Yinyin got off the bicycle.

"Yinyin, why are you here so early?" The sun was scorching on the island, and Mrs. Liu had a headscarf wrapped around her head.
