"Okay, you can arrange it yourself. Now that everything has been confirmed, take her back to have some rest." Old Zhang couldn't stand seeing his silly look, so he sent him away quickly.
Fu Shinian didn't mind and happily helped Tong Yiya back.
After returning to their room, Tong Yiya asked, "Niannian, am I really pregnant?"
She was still a little bit unbelievable. She had been in this world for so many years and had been alone most of the time. She had never thought that she would not only meet the person who would accompany her for the rest of her life in this world, but now they also had a child together.
For a moment, her heart was filled with happiness, and she smiled foolishly while touching her belly which was not yet visible.
"Yes, it's true. Xiaoya is pregnant with our child. Thank you, Xiaoya." Fu Shinian hugged her and replied.
"What are you thanking me for? This is my child too. It's the fruit of our love. You don't need to say thank you," Tong Yiya said.
"Yeah, I was just thinking about how hard it will be for you in the next few months."
"It's not hard. I feel very happy that the baby is in my belly."
"If you feel uncomfortable in the future, please tell me, okay?" Fu Shinian said
He had seen other people getting pregnant before, and some of them couldn't even drink water in the early stages. It was scary to think about. He had to go out to work every day, and he was afraid that Tong Yiya would feel uncomfortable at home and not tell him.
"I know. I will definitely tell you. After all, this is your child. If he messes with me, I will mess with you," Tong Yiya said with a smile.
After hearing this, Fu Shinian touched Tong Yiya's belly and said, "Baby, did you hear me? Be good in the future and don't make trouble for your mother, otherwise your father will beat you when you come out."
"Hahaha, he's still a little kid now and doesn't understand what you're talking about at all," Tong Yiya said with a smile as she looked at his childish appearance.
"Then I will talk to him about it when he grows up," Fu Shinian replied with a smile.
"It's up to you. I'm starting to feel a little sleepy. I'm going to bed. You can do whatever you need to do." Tong Yiya started to feel sleepy again while talking. Knowing that he was going out again, she went back to the room.
Although Fu Shinian had to go out to do some work and ask the team leader for leave tomorrow, he still followed Tong Yiya into the house, helped her take off her coat, waited for her to lie down on the kang, and covered her with a quilt.
Tong Yiya fell asleep in a short while. When Fu Shinian saw her fall asleep, he gently kissed her forehead before getting up and leaving the house to do some work.
Tong Yiya slept until about four in the afternoon and slowly woke up. She was afraid that the baby in her belly would be hungry, so she took a fruit that grew in the space and ate it while lying on the kang.
She got up and went out of the house, but didn't see anyone at home, so she went to the courtyard next door. When she got there, she found that Fu Shinian and the other two were there. They were all stewing chicken soup in the kitchen.
Fu Shinian asked the team leader for leave in the afternoon, and then exchanged the chicken at an aunt's house in the village.
He was also thinking that his family hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so buying a chicken to stew soup could provide nourishment for Tong Yiya, and other people could also eat some chicken.
So after bringing the chicken back, the three men started to clean it up at home, and it had only been stewed for a short while.
When Fu Shinian saw Tong Yiya coming over, he stood up and walked over to support her and asked, "How long have you been awake?"
"I just woke up and didn't see anyone at home, so I came over to see what you guys are stewing," Tong Yiya asked
"I got this stewed chicken soup from my aunt's family at the east end of the village. Drink more soup later to replenish your body," said Fu Shinian.
"Then why don't you catch your own chicken and stew it? It's so expensive to buy chickens outside." Tong Yiya thought that she had chickens at home, and he actually went out to buy chickens. She felt it was a bit wasteful for a moment.
"The chickens at home are kept for laying eggs for eating. It will take some time for the chicks to lay eggs. I just want to buy them outside for convenience. Besides, the chickens at home love to lay eggs. It would be a pity to kill them," Fu Shinian explained.
After hearing this, Tong Yiya didn't say anything else. From time to time, she would feed the chickens at home some diluted spiritual spring water to ensure that they would not get sick. But it was also because of drinking the diluted spiritual spring water that the hens at home laid one egg a day, and sometimes they could even lay two eggs a day.
Nowadays, hens are important assets of every household. If the hens stop laying eggs, no one would be willing to kill them and eat them.
Some families also do this, as they can increase their family income by selling the eggs they have saved at home.
In this day and age, hens are called chicken butt banks. If every family's hens can lay a few more eggs every day, the income at the end of the month will be considerable.
Even if they don't sell the eggs at home, they can use them as a meat dish and feed them to the family to nourish their bodies during the busy farming season.
Fu Shinian helped Tong Yiya sit by the fire, then thought of asking: "Are you hungry now? How about I make you some fried egg rice to fill your stomach, and then some chicken soup later?"
"I'm not hungry yet. It won't be long before dinner. I'll eat with you guys later," Tong Yiya said.
The main reason was that she had just eaten a piece of fruit and was not really hungry now. Also, she didn’t want to be too special.
"That's fine. Let's have dinner earlier today. I'll go get some food now," Fu Shinian said, and went to the stove to boil water to prepare dinner.
Guard Dong also went over to help. Only Old Zhang and Tong Yiya were left sitting by the small clay stove. The two also wanted to help, but Fu Shinian and the others wouldn't let them. So the two could only sit by the fire and discuss medical issues.
Soon, Fu Shinian and Tong Yiya finished preparing dinner. The chicken soup was cooking on the clay stove. Fu Shinian kept half for Tong Yiya to drink, and used the rest for hot pot in the evening.
It also came with two stews. This was dinner for four people tonight, and it looked quite rich.
After dinner, the four of them sat around the clay stove, warming themselves by the fire and chatting for a while before boiling some water, washing up and returning to the house to rest.
After returning to the house, Fu Shinian said to Tong Yiya: "I have already asked for leave from the team leader today. I have to get up early tomorrow to take the ox cart to the commune. Otherwise, if I walk, I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable in your stomach."
"Yeah, then remember to wake me up then," Tong Yiya said
Fu Shinian: "Okay, go to the kang first, I'll go add some firewood and come back."
Tong Yiya obediently lay down on the kang. Not long after, Fu Shinian came back. He washed his hands on the basin rack at the door and dried them before walking to the kang. In front of her, he changed into the pajamas she made for him, then he went up to the kang and held her in his arms.
"Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow morning."
"Yeah, you too," Tong Yiya said and fell asleep soon after.
Since she became pregnant, she has not had to worry about insomnia at all. She fell asleep in seconds.
