Chapter 159: So Smart
I will probably spend the confinement period in the city.
So when Lu Mingchuan went to work, he moved the children's clothes and the clothes that Su Heng would need to wear when she arrived.
Feng Bin and Li Xiu Lian heard the noise and saw that Su Heng was due to give birth soon, so they went home and pushed a crib over.
"This is the one my naughty boy used to sleep on. It's made of solid material and it hasn't broken down yet. I see you haven't made one yet, so why not just use mine?"
The small bed has wooden wheels and can be rocked. Although it was made nine years ago, it has been well stored and does not look old.
Lu Mingchuan and Su Heng had actually forgotten about this. After all, new parents need experienced people to help them.
He accepted it with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Feng and Sister-in-law."
"You're welcome." Feng Bin waved his hand and said, "Wait until my sister-in-law comes to the city and then come to my house for dinner."
"It's our turn to treat you. We haven't invited you and sister-in-law to dinner yet since we moved into the new house."
Feng Bin smiled and said, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Seeing that Lu Mingchuan didn't need anything anymore, he and Li Xiu Lian went back.
Su Heng also took advantage of the fact that she was still at home during this period to ripen several batches of medicinal herbs.
Only some seedlings were left in that Codonopsis pilosula field, and the rest, along with the seeds, were all brought back in a pot.
After Su Heng's operation, they harvested several hundred kilograms of Codonopsis pilosula alone.
The warehouse on the west side is already filled with boxes of medicinal herbs that fill up almost an entire room, which looks quite spectacular.
Lu Mingchuan specially asked a carpenter to make a wooden box specifically for storing medicinal herbs.
The other tools were moved elsewhere, and the warehouse door was not often opened, for fear that someone would come and see them.
The temperature has risen in late July, although it is still relatively cool in the mornings and evenings.
But at noon, with the chirping of cicadas, the ground outside was baked with heat waves, and Su Heng lay lazily at home and didn't want to move.
She was heavy and particularly afraid of heat. Even lying in bed and fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan felt too hot.
In the morning, Lu Mingchuan would wash and hang all her clothes out to dry, and then make soup for her on the stove to prevent her from having to cook.
But eating it for a long time would make you sick of it, and Su Heng didn't want to cook, so she went to the cafeteria to get lunch at noon. It was very hot at that time, and she was sweating all the way.
The heat makes my appetite drop sharply, but I can’t not eat, so I always go on this trip with a look of despair on my face.
Later, Song Zhaodi found out and started to deliver meals to Su Heng every day at noon. If she was not available, she would ask Song Pandyi to come over.
He didn't even want the money, just put down his lunch box and ran away.
Su Heng had no choice but to tell Chen Xiang and the others not to charge her money in the future, but to put it on her account and wait for her to settle it when the time comes.
Fortunately, these days didn’t last long and Wen Shu and the others came over.
All the members of the Su family came, not only to send Wenshu over, but also to visit Su Heng before the harvest started.
It just so happened that Su Ming was on summer vacation at this time, and Wen Shu came to take care of Su Heng, so he stayed at home to cook and wash clothes for his elder brother and father.
Su Jing looked at Su Heng's much bigger belly and said with a smile: "My little nephew is growing so fast. He has grown so big in just a few months."
Su Heng said angrily, "I'm just looking forward to unloading the goods quickly. I'm so tired."
Wen Shu patted her head gently: "You are so unruly. Don't say such things."
Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a pregnant woman, so parents are quite averse to hearing these words.
Su Ming hasn't been here for a long time. I didn't see him during the Chinese New Year. When we met last year, Su Heng didn't even look pregnant.
Now, seeing such a big belly, I can only look at it curiously, and ask: "Sister, isn't it heavy when you sleep at night?"
"Of course it's heavy, but there's nothing I can do about it."
Su Ming didn't have any feelings for his little nephew whom he had never met, but he felt a little sorry for his sister.
"You've worked so hard, I hope you can give birth soon."
Su Yue: "What are you talking about, kid? How can you give birth if the due date is not yet due? Your mother was pregnant with all three of you at the time, and you didn't seem to be any less naughty."
Su Ming was dissatisfied: "Why wouldn't I feel bad? When I come back, don't I help with the laundry, cooking, and gardening?"
"Okay, okay, Dad, go to the backyard and catch a duck and kill it. I'll make roast duck for you today." Su Heng came out to smooth things over.
I have to go live in the city right away and won’t be back for at least two months. The poultry at home must be killed and eaten quickly.
When they heard about eating roast duck, the two brothers became excited, ran out to help, and surrounded the roasting kiln in curiosity.
After the family had a lively lunch at noon, the father and his sons helped to clean up Su Heng's yard.
This yard will be empty for several months, and if the vegetable garden is not maintained, it will be overgrown with weeds and snakes will easily get in.
Lu Mingchuan has been very busy lately and has been going up the mountain during his rest time, so he hasn't had time to do it yet.
After packing up, the father and his two sons went back at around three or four o'clock when the sun was not so hot.
When Lu Mingchuan came back, he found that the yard had been tidied up and the smell of food was coming from the kitchen.
Just as I was wondering, I heard Su Heng shout, "You're back. Hurry up and wash your hands and get ready for dinner. Mom is coming over today."
As he was speaking, Wen Shu came out of the kitchen, and Lu Mingchuan called out "Mom".
Wen Shu agreed and smiled as he asked him to prepare dinner.
Since they had planned to live in the city in August, Wenshu would definitely go with them.
Lu Mingchuan killed the chickens and ducks at home one after another these days. If he couldn't finish them, he would make spicy jerky or air-dried chicken for Wen Shu.
But Su Heng felt it was a waste to make jerky out of the two big geese, so she had to stew them in an iron pot. However, the weather had been hot recently, and Su Heng didn't want to eat out of the pot.
There are also a bunch of rabbits in the backyard, which are not easy to deal with.
So she went to the base to find Pu Fengliang.
I asked him if he would consider raising a batch of meat rabbits for the laboratory to eat. Now the laboratory itself has also cultivated a piece of land in the park as a vegetable garden.
Pu Fengliang had also eaten the spicy rabbit head that Su Heng brought him. When he heard it, he guessed that she probably raised rabbits herself.
In fact, many departments have their own farms. Their laboratory is in the village, so it is not a problem to buy vegetables all the time, so they naturally agreed.
Then I bought the rabbits from Su Heng's house at 53 cents per pound. After all, they were live rabbits without fur, so there was some loss and the price was lower than pure meat.
Because there was no cage, I spent extra money to buy one.
But he didn't tell anyone that he bought it from Su Heng, he just said that he purchased it from outside.
Su Heng smiled as she counted the hundred or so yuan she had just earned, thinking that when she came back and wanted to eat again, she could go to the cafeteria to buy some.
She doesn't have to feed the rabbits herself every day. She is so smart.
The rabbits were moved to a small shed behind the cafeteria, and the rabbit cages were placed in a row against the wall.
Chen Xiang and the others went to see it out of curiosity, but soon realized that if they put this thing in the cafeteria, wouldn't they have to raise it?
However, Pu Fengliang did not exploit the labor force so much. He asked Zhang Xinghe to hire Song Pandi as a breeder, responsible for feeding the rabbits and taking care of the vegetable garden.
The main reason is that even if she is not hired, she still works every day.
Seeing that she has good character, everyone is willing to help her.
Eight yuan a month was not as high as Chen Xiang and the others’ salary, but Song Pandi was so excited that she almost cried.
He thanked everyone repeatedly.
When Su Heng drove the two big geese from her home over and asked her to help take care of them for a while, she refused to take any money.
It's just a matter of convenience. It's not a big deal to feed two big geese.
In fact, it was still a bit difficult. The people in the laboratory didn't expect that this big goose could carry people.
The park is so big, and these two big geese are wandering around everywhere. Some people see how sleek they look and want to touch them, but they end up being snatched away.
He bit me on the butt and it hurt so much that I went to the village clinic to get medicine. Now the whole team knows about this embarrassment.
He couldn't do anything to the goose, after all, the goose belonged to Su Heng, his immediate superior.
