When they got home, Zhao Fangyu and Yang Anjin had already returned. Yang Anjin was helping Zhu Cuilan prepare the dishes for dinner. When they saw them come back, they hurried to ask about them.
"How's the search going? Do you have anyone you like?"
"Yun Qiao's husband introduced me to a woman who is quite good. The villagers all speak well of her. She has also raised her children very well. She is scheduled to come over at the beginning of next month."
Yang Donghu was so tired after running around that he felt sleepy while sitting on the stool. He nodded and almost closed his eyes.
"I'm glad you found it. Are you tired? Go to Fang Chu's room and take a nap. I'll call you when I'm done cooking."
"good."
Simple movements like sitting down and standing up were now difficult for him. Zhao Fangchu had been called out by Shen Ran today and was not here at the moment. Yang Anjin helped him stand up slowly, and then they went into Fangchu's room together.
Yang Anjin had only seen Yang Donghu occasionally before. He knew that being pregnant was not easy. But after spending a few days together day and night, he really felt how tiring it was.
He raised the pillow and placed it behind Yang Donghu's waist to make him more comfortable. "You've walked so far today, are your feet tired? How about I boil a pot of water for you to soak in?"
"It's okay. I don't feel tired, I'm just very sleepy. I have to sleep for half a day now. I didn't sleep a wink all day today. I kept wanting to sleep."
"Then go to sleep. I'll call you when dinner is ready."
Yang Donghu nodded, closed his eyes and fell asleep almost immediately.
Outside, Zhao Luochuan parked the car and saw Zhao Fangyu still chopping wood with an axe, his face red. He walked over and took the axe from him, laughing and joking: "Is your father-in-law's wine so delicious? Look at your red face, I thought someone beat you up."
"Go away, do you know how to speak?" Zhao Fangyu also felt dizzy. If the firewood at home was not enough to cook in the evening, he would not be chopping wood while drunk.
Someone took over and he could sit down and rest openly, supporting his head with his hands and closing his eyes to take a nap.
Zhang Lanzhen's family had been looking forward to Yang Anjin's return home and were waiting in the house early.
Yang Anjin lived a very comfortable life after getting married. Zhu Cuilan didn't let him do anything and she washed the pots and dishes skillfully by herself. However, Yang Anjin felt embarrassed to let her do it alone and always rushed to do the work.
Whenever Zhu Cuilan went out, she would praise her daughter-in-law to everyone she met. It was only the third day, and everyone in the village had asked her to show off. She bought some new cloth to make clothes for Yang Anjin, and also bought two more sets of clothes for Yang Donghu, just like the two sets she had given to him.
It was spring, and everyone had taken off their thick clothes and put on spring clothes. Zhu Cuilan wanted to let Zhang Lanzhen see that Yang Anjin would not be treated badly in her home, so she lit an oil lamp in the evening and prepared a set of clothes for him to wear when he returned home.
Zhang Lanzhen was very surprised to see the new clothes, chickens and fish. She was completely relieved of her worries and prepared a large table of delicious meals for her new son-in-law at noon.
It is better to drink in moderation. Drinking too much will make you vomit. Yang Chaoren and Yang Anchen knew that Zhao Fangyu was a person who lived a simple life, so of course they would not make things difficult for him. They took out the fine wine they had collected. If he drank it like a cow, wouldn't it be a waste of the wine that had been stored for so many years?
The aroma of wine makes the love even stronger. The whole family was really happy for the young couple and said a lot of words asking them to give in to each other, especially Zhang Lanzhen, who was really worried about them.
Anyway, the two villages are not far from each other, so they can come back anytime they want. Married men cannot stay overnight at their parents' home when they return home, so they went back after dinner. Yang Anjin was reluctant to leave his mother and said that he would come back often to visit her in the future.
Zhao Fangyu just got married, and he hasn't had enough affection these days. He also followed Zhao Luochuan's example and planned to stay at home for a few more days. Although the expenses will be high during this period, fortunately, they have worked hard in the past, so even if they live off their savings, they can still live comfortably until the New Year.
Naturally, Yang Anjin didn't want him to go to the mountain and not come back for several days. After all, he had just gotten married. When Zhao Fangyu told him that he wanted to stay at home for a few more days, he agreed without saying a word.
He answered too quickly, and Zhao Fangyu took advantage of him and forced him to say whether he was reluctant to do so.
The madness at night has never stopped these past few days. Fortunately, the house they live in is far away from others, otherwise such a loud noise would have been heard by others.
It's rare to have so many people gathered at home. Even when Zhao He rested at home for a few days, it was not easy to control the quantity when cooking for so many people. Tonight they were having hand-rolled noodles. Zhu Cuilan frowned with worry as she looked at the big pot full of noodles.
"This is too much. I'm sure we can't finish it. I'll give some to the neighbors later."
Yang Anjin washed the dishes and set them aside, then nodded after hearing this.
Hand-rolled noodles are soft and easy to digest. Zhu Cuilan first served a bowl of noodles with less salt to the old lady, and then added a handful of salt to taste.
After eating a lot of meat and fish for several days, I suddenly felt that noodles were especially delicious. Fortunately, there are three men in my family with big appetites. Otherwise, there would be a lot left even if I shared it with the neighbors.
After dinner, Yang Donghu lay on the bed and rubbed his stomach. He had eaten a lot today and now felt a little bloated.
Zhao Luochuan held the man in his arms and gently massaged the acupoints on his hands, pushing lightly from the base of his thumb upwards. The village doctor said this could relieve bloating.
The swelling in Yang Donghu's feet has subsided a lot, and wearing shoes is no longer uncomfortable. From time to time, you can see a slight rise and fall in his belly. He touches his belly with a gentle face and says, "I'm tired of carrying such a big belly around all day, and my back hurts. I'm finally relieved."
Zhao Luochuan chuckled and kissed his soft cheek: "Thank you for your hard work. When Xiangping comes, you can rest well. Auntie can take care of you at home, or when I come back, I will make it up to you."
"How do you compensate me?"
"Whatever you want, I'll listen to you. We'll buy whatever you want."
"Really?" Yang Donghu raised his head from his arms. His face had become rounder, but it didn't affect his big eyes at all. He looked very lively and energetic when he was surprised.
"Of course."
"Well... then I want to eat all the things I can't eat these days. Auntie is afraid that I will get angry, so she gives me light food. I want to eat spicy food. It will be summer when the baby is born. I also want to drink cold drinks and eat summer melon frozen in the well. And..."
"Wait, wait," Zhao Luochuan interrupted him, seeing him getting more and more outrageous. "Eating spicy food is fine, but you can't eat summer melon cold drinks anyway, so this doesn't count."
"Why not? You've been denying me food all this time, and now I'm fine. Look, my hands and feet aren't cold anymore." Yang Donghu's evil plan failed, and he lowered his head unhappily. "You promised me everything, and now you've changed your mind after just a short while. I've worked so hard, and you're lying to me again."
"No, I'm not lying to you," Zhao Luochuan laughed. Seeing that Yang Donghu was so angry that he didn't even want to look up, he quickly coaxed him, "Okay, okay, I'll let you eat. Just eat less, okay?"
"Okay then," Yang Donghu said with a sly smile, "Let me think of something else..."
Zhao Luochuan immediately covered his mouth: "No more, go to sleep."
"Well... there's more, there's more..."
He began to struggle. Zhao Luochuan could no longer bear it and used his mouth to cover the chattering mouth. Well, it was indeed more effective than covering it with his hands.
