Chapter 149: Eat and Take to Make Money
They chatted briefly for a few minutes, and then Su Jing hurried to deliver the food to the kitchen, and then they went about their business.
Su Heng said with some regret: "This vegetable can only be sold for a month at most."
It is now late March, and many people will start sowing vegetable seeds after the thaw.
Lu Mingchuan was amused by her money-obsessed look: "That's already impressive. You are now the backbone of our family's income."
The income from greenhouse vegetables is very considerable, and Su Heng's share is estimated to be higher than his annual income.
"That's my family status, it's clear at a glance."
Su Heng became proud as she spoke. At a time when business was impossible, she could come up with such a way to benefit both herself and the people. She was truly a little genius.
"Well, I will listen to you, and the children will have to listen to you in the future too."
"You don't have to listen to everything. We need to be more democratic in our family. We can't be too controlling parents."
Lu Mingchuan chuckled and agreed, and the two of them chatted and laughed as they went to the consultation room.
There was no need to queue at this time, so the two walked in.
The doctor saw from afar how carefully Lu Mingchuan was supporting Su Heng and thought she was about to give birth.
When he came in and saw the slightly bulging belly, the corners of his mouth twitched.
I joked in my heart that the relationship between these newlyweds is just different.
He asked about Su Heng's condition gently, and then examined her carefully.
"Yes, the fetus is healthy. I see your husband is quite aware of the dietary restrictions and precautions. You just need to keep doing this. If you feel any discomfort, remember to come to the hospital immediately."
"Also, if you're having sex now, be mindful of your limits. It's fine, but it's strictly forbidden after thirty-six weeks."
The doctor was mainly reminding Lu Mingchuan, fearing that he would not be able to hold back due to his young and impulsive nature.
Lu Mingchuan didn't even dare to touch Su Heng, let alone think about anything else. Hearing this, he naturally agreed: "Okay, thank you, doctor."
Su Heng was shy and just stood there silently.
Fortunately, the female doctor's words were quite gentle, and the two of them left after the examination.
"Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative. Didn't you say you wanted to buy some cotton cloth yesterday? The biscuits at home are almost gone." Lu Mingchuan suggested.
"Well, let's go and restock some supplies before going back."
The weather was not as cold as before. Su Heng was wearing a rabbit fur hat and scarf, so she was not affected by the cold wind. She found that there were slightly more people on the street than before.
The two of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought another big bag of snacks. The salesperson no longer envied them when he saw them.
This is simply too powerful.
What family can come to buy things every now and then? These two people can do it.
However, she herself is a government employee and her conditions are not bad. She mainly envies the couple's good relationship and the man's love for his wife.
It feels like this man treats his wife like a child, speaking softly and considerately to her.
When he heard that the two wanted to buy cotton cloth to make clothes for their children, he smiled and congratulated them, and took out the cloth for them to choose.
Su Heng thanked him and chose two rolls of brighter colors, one apricot and one red.
There aren't many options now.
After buying things, they went home.
The chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits at home were all fine, so the two of them put extra food and water in advance.
Just one day away won't do any harm.
But if you leave Zhao Lucky at home, it might embezzle and steal the meat from the kitchen.
When the two of them put their things away and went to Song Wan's house to pick up Zhaocai, it was a little reluctant to leave.
He was lying lazily in the house with a bloated belly. Only when he saw Su Heng did he come over happily with his tail erect to rub against her.
"Hey, how much did you eat? You look a little fatter."
After not seeing each other for a day, Su Heng finally faced up to this fact.
Song Wan smiled and said, "I saw it finished eating the food in the bowl and was still crying, so I fed it some more."
"It's like this. It keeps barking even when it's full. It keeps eating until it's full."
Su Heng said as she went to take a look at the cat's bowl. There was still some uneaten fish in it. Song Wan had specially boiled it in plain water to feed it.
Zhaocai is also living a good life, this is an extraordinary treatment.
She also said, "The team caught some fish today. I'm going to buy a few. You can take some back later. It's more nutritious to make some soup."
The ice has thawed and it's time to catch fish. The river has been filled with fish for several months. The team organizes people to catch some fish every year at this time, so that every family can have some meat to eat.
Su Heng agreed with a smile. Although it was more convenient for her to catch the fish herself, it was a kind gesture from her sister.
He picked up a few small crucian carps and prepared to go back to make soup. When Su Heng called Zhaocai, it stood up happily.
He went to wipe his hands against Song Wan's trouser legs and meowed a few times, as if to thank her for her hospitality.
Then he squatted in front of the cat bowl and tried to force himself to eat the fish in the bowl.
The main point is not to waste.
This scene made people laugh so hard that Lu Mingchuan quickly stepped forward, grabbed the back of its neck and lifted it up.
Su Heng held her forehead with her hand and said, "Take that bowl back with it as well. I'll return it later."
"Don't worry, I won't be using this bowl for a while anyway." Song Wan waved his hand to show that there was no rush.
Anyway, they won’t use this bowl until they get a cat.
Su Heng laughed and said, "This time, we really eat and take at the same time."
Several people were amused. Zhaocai didn't know what was going on. When he saw Lu Mingchuan bringing his meat, he didn't struggle even when he was held by the neck.
Its four paws drooped lazily, making it look like a soft cat biscuit.
The sunlight shines on it, and it looks golden and glowing.
After returning home, Su Heng petted the cat for a while.
The crucian carp and tofu soup we had in the evening was very delicious. Su Heng put some pea tips in it and had a satisfying dinner.
The next day, she had nothing to do, so she decided to start making skirts for the children.
Because she didn't know how big the newborn baby would be, she went to the brigade for consultation.
The old ladies at the entrance of the village now treat her like their own granddaughter. When they hear that she wants to make clothes for her children, they all give her advice in a flurry.
She said that newborn babies grow too fast and it’s not appropriate to make new clothes for them, and that they should be made when they are older. Then she said that the clothes her grandson had worn were still new and she wanted to give them to her.
In a short while, Su Heng collected a pile of children's clothes and diapers.
They were all washed clean, and what they brought to Su Heng was not particularly bad.
Adults can wear anything but poor clothes, but children must wear good cotton.
Moreover, children's clothes will become softer if they are washed more often. Many people even pick up old clothes from their relatives' children to wear.
Old Mrs. Huang said, "If you want to make it yourself, try making it like this. It grows the fastest in the first three months, and then it slows down a bit later."
Su Heng thanked him sweetly and accepted the clothes.
It’s all from everyone’s heart.
There is a saying that goes, "Take clothes from a hundred families and seek blessings from a hundred families."
Su Heng herself doesn't really believe in these customs, but once she has children, she finds that she can't help but think more about them.
It is better to believe it than not to believe it. I hope her children will have fewer illnesses and disasters.
