After the meditation, Lu Yichen said as he served the rice: "Qiaobao, can we not go up to the roof in the future? Now that you are pregnant, we still have to be careful."

Luo Qiao thought for a moment and said, "If it doesn't work, we can move the wooden ladder away. It's not too high anyway. We can build a staircase instead. It will be safer this way."

Lu Yichen nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll buy some materials later, it's easy to make stairs."

After dinner, Lu Yichen cleaned up, settled Luo Qiao down, and went out.

As soon as he left, Luo Qiao walked out of the house, went to the kitchen, picked up a basket, and went to the vegetable garden outside, picked all the ripe tomatoes, and took out a lot of them from the space.

After the water in the large pot boils, put the washed tomatoes into the water and cook them for a while, then take them out, find a clean basin, peel the tomatoes, and then crush them.

After everything is done, put them in a pot and cook them. After boiling, use a funnel to pour it into an infusion bottle that has been sterilized at high temperature and drained of water. Cover it with a rubber lid. The pickled tomatoes can be stored for a long time. Put some of them when cooking, and they taste much better than fresh tomatoes.

And in spring, it tastes especially good when you add some sugar.

Luo Qiao acted quickly. When Lu Yichen came back, Luo Qiao had almost finished cleaning up. Several baskets of bottles in the yard had been used up. She thought about using up the several baskets of bottles in the house in the afternoon. These would be enough for this year.

Lu Yichen came back and saw the things on the kitchen floor: "Qiaobao, from now on, you can do these things when I am home. You are pregnant now, and I don't want you to be tired."

Not long after he came back, his neighbor Zhou Aiqing came over and said, "Deputy Director Lu, I see you have so many materials outside the gate. What are you going to do with them?"

Lu Yichen said: "I want to build a staircase next to the small bungalow, which will be more convenient for going up and down and safer than a ladder."

Zhou Aiqing looked at the place where the stairs were to be built and said, "I'm taking a break today. I'll come over to help you after lunch."

After lunch, two more colleagues came in a short while later. There wasn't much work to begin with, and with so many people working together, it didn't take long to finish the work.

Luo Qiao originally wanted to keep a few people for dinner, but it was still early and they refused to agree no matter what. After packing up, they were about to leave. Luo Qiao took out a few packets of tea and handed them to Lu Yichen.

A few people helped to clean up before leaving.

Seeing that it was still early, Luo Qiao used the space well water to make a pot of tea and placed it under the grape trellis: "Brother Chen, wash your hands and come over to drink some tea."

Lu Yichen put his things away, washed his hands, and sat down: "Qiaoqiao, the stairs can't be used these days. If you must go to the roof, you have to go up and down the ladder first, but you must pay attention to safety."

While saying this, she thought in her heart that he would definitely get up earlier and watch over her in the future to make sure she went up and down safely so she wouldn't have to worry. The person she loved must always be pampered unconditionally.

Luo Qiao poured him a cup of tea: "Try and see how this tea tastes."

Lu Yichen picked it up and took a sip: "Fresh, mellow taste, sweet aftertaste, is this the tea taken out from there?"

Luo Qiao nodded: "After drinking tea, help me take out the infusion bottle in the room, and I will take out some tomatoes and boil another pot. After using up the bottles, it will be enough for us to eat in the winter.

Adding some of these pickled tomatoes to stir-fried dishes adds a different flavor, and I really like them.”

Luo Qiao poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said in a low voice: "It must be a masterpiece if it is produced in this space."

Lu Yichen looked at Luo Qiao and said after a long while: "Qiaobao, I seem to have heard that you can't drink tea after you are pregnant. It's not good for the baby."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Luo Qiao smiled after hearing this: "Pregnant women should not drink black tea. Tea contains caffeine. Drinking too much will affect the development of the fetus. However, you can drink some green tea. It contains zinc and vitamin C, which can promote the growth and development of the fetus. But don't drink too much."

Lu Yichen reached out and touched Luo Qiao's belly: "I really didn't expect that the baby would come quietly. It seems that I still have a lot to learn."
