Su Qingxue was busy in her private plot for about an hour and a half, and finally managed to collect all the ripe vegetables.
The backpack was half filled, and the rest was all stored in the space.
By the time we got home, it was almost time for lunch.
Put all the vegetables out and place them under the eaves. Looking at such a big pumpkin, Su Qingxue suddenly wanted to eat pumpkin buns.
I made some noodles and cut half a pumpkin, mixed them together and put them aside until they were fermented before steaming them.
While the dough is still not fermented, prepare to organize the vegetables.
All the vegetables should be washed, picked, sliced, and stored in the storage room.
After cleaning up for about half an hour, I thought the noodles were almost ready, so I quickly went to steam the buns.
Su Qingxue was lazy and didn't make it particularly delicate. The shape was not pretty at all. After steaming, the buns would probably be all kinds of weird.
I put the buns in the pot to steam and started picking the vegetables by the well.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief after the whole yard was filled with vegetables drying in the sun.
It wasn't that she was very tired, it was just that it was a little inconvenient to work now. She didn't dare to use much force to do anything for fear of hurting herself, which made her feel particularly tired.
I sat on the stool and rested for a while. My stomach was already growling with hunger.
Thinking that the pumpkin buns in the pot should have been steamed long ago, he got up and walked towards the kitchen.
I put it in a small basket, which filled almost half of it.
I took one and put it directly in my mouth and took a bite. Even though there was no sugar, it still had a light sweetness and the aroma of pumpkin. It was quite delicious.
I ate one in just three or two bites. It was not fluffy enough, but it tasted pretty good.
Su Qingxue thought that her skill in steaming buns was still not up to par, so she needed to learn more and see how to make the buns more fluffy so that they would look better.
I always felt that eating steamed buns without anything was missing, so I quickly took out a bottle of mushroom sauce and a bottle of beef sauce from the space.
Although the steamed buns are a little sweet, they don’t taste weird at all when paired with mushroom sauce and beef sauce. On the contrary, they taste especially delicious when you put them in your mouth.
Su Qingxue ate five steamed buns and once again broke her previous eating limit.
Unless you get tired of eating it, pumpkin should be the main vegetable on the table for the next few days.
Whether it’s fried, steamed into buns, or rolled into noodles, eat as much as you can as long as you don’t get tired of it.
At the same time, collect the broken pumpkin seeds, wash them and dry them outside. You can either stir-fry them or save them as seeds for next year.
Zhou Huaian and Sun Rui had been busy on the mountain for a whole day and felt exhausted.
I haven't been here for a long time. I never thought that my wife was so capable. We have more than an acre of land, all planted with peanuts, sunflower seeds and cotton.
Especially when I saw the cotton, I thought about the people in the cowshed. I could put more new cotton in their cotton-padded jackets to make them warmer. When the children are born, I could make all kinds of thick clothes for them without worrying about the cotton.
For a moment, I felt that I was a little too useless. It seemed that apart from a little dividend from the black market, I only had this job. I earned a few dozen dollars a month and various bills and food. Apart from that, I was nothing compared to my wife.
She had to consider various things with such a big belly. I originally thought that there was no need to rush and I could just buy it on the black market when I was about to give birth. Now it seems that I was too careless.
Make up your mind and pay more attention.
If Su Qingxue knew what he was thinking, she would probably be impatient!
As long as Zhou Huaian is at home, he is never idle and busy all the time, and even treats himself like an ancestor and serves him.
It's just that I can't sit still, so I work really hard when he's not around.
…
Zhou Huaian worked hard without stopping for a moment. Even when Sun Rui asked him to take a break, he was unwilling to do so.
There was only one thought in my mind: work faster, faster, do more, and go back earlier to be with my wife.
With such a big belly, I really feel worried about my wife being alone at home.
I thought silently in my heart that I would go to the cowshed again in the evening and ask my mother-in-law to come to my house more often when she is free.
This thought flashed through Shan's mind, but he then thought that it would be bad if someone else found out.
Now the village is full of signs of autumn harvest, and there is no way to ask others to help look after it. I am already considering whether I should take a leave?
"Sun Rui, my wife's belly is so big now, I'm worried about her at home. What can I do? I want to find someone to look after her at home, but now is the autumn harvest time, and no one should be free. What do you think I should do?"
Sun Rui clicked his tongue twice and laughed at him, but when he thought about his sister-in-law's big belly, and that he and Huai'an were at work all the time, it would be bad if no one was watching and no one noticed if the baby was born one day.
"Adults are required to work, but children can! Ask the child to help watch the house, provide lunch, and give his parents a few dollars. I think his family will not object. What do you think of this idea?"
Zhou Huaian nodded after hearing this. Why not use a child? Just use a child to help watch over the baby. If the baby is about to be born, you can shout outside.
Whether it’s people in the village who see the patient and help send him to the hospital or go to the factory to call him, this way he can feel more at ease.
"Okay, we'll go ask the captain when we get back. We're more familiar with him, and he has a lot of children at home. We can bring a bunch of them over there to play."
In fact, he doesn't have many children. After all, his sons are still quite young, and all his grandchildren add up to only about five or six.
Even if all of them come to his house for meals, he can afford it, and it's only for this month.
Everything will be fine after this month, and I won't have to be so worried after the baby is born. The autumn harvest should be over by then, and I can hire someone to take care of my wife during her confinement.
"That's right. It doesn't cost much to ask others for help, and it can also make me feel more at ease. It's okay even if it costs a little more."
Only people like them who are not short of money can say such things.
Compared with the people in the village, let alone asking someone to help watch their babies, some people even gave birth directly in the ground while working in the fields.
All I can say is that Su Qingxue is lucky. She has the conditions and the people she meets are also very good, so she doesn't have to worry about being wronged in her life.
