Zhou Huaian hesitated for a moment before finally saying to his wife, "Wife, your belly is so big now, can you stay at home in the future?"
It seems like it’s a bad idea not to go out. The things planted on the mountain can almost be harvested because a lot of wood-related abilities have been used.
I was thinking of harvesting them and planting more later, but when I took one look at my stomach, I decided not to tell him.
"Okay, I'll stay at home obediently from now on."
She agreed verbally, but in fact she had already made up her mind to go to the mountain again while he was at work. At worst she could just come back early so that he wouldn't find out.
Sun Rui had no objection to Zhou Huaian's arrangements. He ate so well here every day, so it was only natural that he should do more work.
As expected, everyone was right. None of Su's father, mother and Grandpa Gu came. We knew that they must be afraid of implicating everyone, so they didn't come.
Only Zhou Huaian could deliver it to them.
Twenty or thirty steamed buns and a large pot of fish stewed with vermicelli, which contained a lot of bean paste. Because it smelled so delicious, Su Qingxue left a bowl for herself.
By the way, I also took the remaining half bowl of chive dumplings with me so that they could taste it and see how good my cooking skills were.
Of course, we must not have forgotten the meat and fish that we fried in the afternoon. There is so much, if we don’t send some over, how long will it take to eat them?
What's more, everyone saw what I did. If I put it into the space, it would arouse suspicion. It's better to divide it in half.
Today I picked up dozens of duck eggs in the reed marsh, and took out half of the salted duck eggs in the iron bucket. I picked up the rest and kept them for myself. This left room to pickle all the wild duck eggs I picked up today.
Before Zhou Huaian left, Su Qingxue asked him to bring a few more wild ducks over. The ones sent over last time must have been eaten up. Even if they hadn't been eaten, they would have been pickled and kept. Sending a few more over would let them know that they didn't need them and would prevent them from being reluctant to eat them.
Su Qingxue and Sun Rui were the only two people left in the yard. Sun Rui was quite obedient. He went straight to the storage room, carried the ducks to the well, and then went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife to clean up the wild ducks.
Su Qingxue went straight into the house and took a look at the cherry tomatoes and chili pepper seeds she had soaked in the afternoon.
The seeds have already been soaked. If I don’t plant them today, I’m worried that they will be useless.
I took a look at the sky outside and it seems that it will be completely dark in half an hour. I should plant these seeds while there is still time.
Worried that it would be too late, I didn't turn the soil over carefully. I just scattered all the seeds, covered them with a layer of wood ash, and then used my wood-related abilities to ripen them, and then left them alone.
I guess small seedlings will emerge tomorrow morning.
The sound of Sun Rui's movements came to her little by little. Knowing that he had not left yet, she simply took a hoe and started digging the soil nearby.
Sun Rui may have heard the noise in the backyard, and he worked very efficiently and quickly cleaned up the ducks.
I couldn't wait to come to the backyard, "Sister-in-law, put down the hoe, I will dig, be careful, don't fall."
My sister-in-law was digging the soil with her big belly, and I felt so scared to look at her.
Anyone who doesn't know the situation would definitely misunderstand this scene, thinking that Su Qingxue is a bullied young wife who has to work in the fields with such a big belly.
It makes me feel scared just looking at it.
Although Su Qingxue didn't know why he was so nervous, she didn't feel tired at all, so she waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'm not tired at all, and I don't expect to dig all the land in one go, I'll dig as much as I can."
Sun Rui felt it was not appropriate to say anything more to his sister-in-law. Since she was unwilling to leave, he might as well join her.
I found a hoe and started to cultivate the land nearby, so that I could work faster.
"Sun Rui, I don't need your help. This job will only take two days. It's getting late. Why don't you go back and rest early?"
"It's okay. I'll leave after Huai'an comes back. I'm really worried about you being here alone."
Sun Rui's mother had told him that women pregnant with twins are more likely to give birth prematurely. Although it is still early, only six months, seeing such a big belly still makes him feel nervous.
How could he feel comfortable leaving his sister-in-law at home alone?
Seeing how determined he was, Su Qingxue didn't say anything more.
Concentrate on digging your own land.
I’m glad that I have two hoes at home, otherwise I would worry that there wouldn’t be enough hoes.
Zhou Huaian did not stay in the cowshed for too long. He answered some questions asked by the elderly. Mr. and Mrs. Su and grandpa were still concerned about Qingxue and kept asking how Qingxue was doing now.
Tell them that the snow is being cleared well and that they don't have to worry, as there is no shortage of fish, meat, vegetables and other things at home, and they are all growing plump and white.
Although they knew that Zhou Huaian would not treat Qingxue unfairly, they still felt a little more at ease after hearing his answer.
Zhou Huaian stayed there for less than half an hour and then came back.
Although I had asked these questions several times, I knew they were just worried and confused, so I didn't get impatient. Instead, I patiently told them about my wife's situation.
They didn't let him go until they had asked all the questions they wanted to ask.
Zhou Huaian wiped the sweat from his forehead. It seemed that being too caring was not a good thing. He was really too enthusiastic.
When I got home and saw my wife digging in the backyard, I secretly said to myself, what a sin, and quickly snatched her hoe.
"Your belly is so big, don't do these hard work. I will spare a little time every day, and it won't take many days to fix my dizziness. Go to the house and rest, dear."
Su Qingxue knew that even if she disagreed, it would be useless.
I simply left the backyard obediently, looked back at the two people who were working hard to dig the soil, and thought it would be better not to be so diligent and give them room to perform.
I went to the kitchen and boiled a large pot of hot water, cleaned myself, and washed my hair at the same time, while another large pot of water continued to boil in the pot.
When he comes back, he will definitely be covered in sweat, so he must wash himself before entering the house.
He entered the house, lit a candle, took a towel and sat by the window. While wiping his hair, he opened the window and looked at the two people who were working hard to dig in the backyard.
I didn't expect that they hadn't worked for such a long time, but they were still doing such a good job.
After drying her hair half-dry, she took out some fine cotton cloth and prepared to make more small clothes for the children.
In fact, seeing the two of them working so hard outside, I felt a bit embarrassed lying in bed sleeping alone, so I prepared to make clothes for the children to appear more diligent.
