"Okay, you haven't seen the kids for so long, and you start to make a big deal out of it as soon as you meet them." Gao Qiufeng glared at Qi Fusheng.
Qi Fusheng stopped talking and just smoked his pipe.
Gao Qiufeng turned to look at Jiang Xiaohui and said with a smile, "Xiaohui, you know your father's temper. It comes and goes quickly. Don't take it to heart. You have been busy all day. Go to bed early with Qingmei."
"Dad, Mom, you should also go to bed early." Jiang Xiaohui glanced at Qi Qingmei and walked towards their bedroom.
Qi Qingmei glanced at Gao Qiufeng and Qi Fusheng, then followed Jiang Xiaohui back to the house.
"Do you really believe that it was Qingmei's idea?" Qi Fusheng looked up and asked Gao Qiufeng.
Gao Qiufeng frowned, afraid that Qi Fusheng's loud voice would be heard by Jiang Xiaohui, so she pulled his arm into the house, closed the door, and then spoke.
"Qingmei did so many bold things to marry Xiaohui.
Even if this was Xiaohui's idea, Qingmei would have agreed to it. Otherwise, with her personality, do you think she would have said that?"
Qi Fusheng squatted on the ground and took two deep puffs of his pipe, with smoke puffing out of his mouth.
After a while, he sighed.
"You've seen the condoms in their room. They've been using contraception since the beginning. Qingmei likes Xiaohui so much, she must want to have a baby for him as soon as possible.
This must be Xiaohui’s idea.”
Now that the two of them live in the county, he can't go there every day.
The emperor is far away and he was afraid that Jiang Xiaohui would bully Qi Qingmei.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. No matter whose idea it is, as long as Qingmei is willing, we should follow her." Gao Qiufeng said as she made the kang.
Qi Fusheng laughed and said, "You have spoiled Qingmei since she was a child. She can do whatever she wants, and you never restrict her!"
"Don't you spoil her the same way?" Gao Qiufeng scolded with a smile.
Qi Fusheng burst into laughter.
The next day, after Jiang Xiaohui went to work, Gao Qiufeng cleaned the house.
"Aunt, you are here."
Gao Qiufeng was so frightened by the sudden voice that she almost fell to the ground. Her face turned pale and when she saw that it was Shen Qinghe, her expression slowly relaxed.
"Aunt, I'm sorry. Did I scare you?" Shen Qinghe leaned on the wall with her hands and looked at Gao Qiufeng apologetically.
"I live next door, and I took a look when I heard some noise. Qingmei usually sleeps until noon, so I was a little worried when there was a sudden noise in the morning. I didn't expect to scare you."
"It's okay." Gao Qiufeng knew that Shen Qinghe meant well, so she naturally wouldn't bother with her.
He walked over with a broom in his hand, stood at the wall and looked up at her, "How are you doing recently? When are you going to give birth?"
"There's still half a year left." Shen Qinghe said with a smile.
"That will be quick. As long as there are seedlings, there is no need to worry about their growth. It will happen in the blink of an eye." Gao Qiufeng said with a smile.
Thinking about the fact that Qi Qingmei and Jiang Xiaohui were using contraception and didn't know when they would have a baby, she felt a little envious when she looked at Shen Qinghe.
"Yes." Shen Qinghe glanced towards the inner room and said with a sweet smile, "Aunt, is Qingmei pregnant too? When I was pregnant, I was also very sleepy and felt like I couldn't wake up every day. I saw that she always loved to sleep, so is she pregnant too?"
Gao Qiufeng smiled awkwardly.
"Qingmei is very particular about her bed. She is not used to sleeping in the county yet, so she can't sleep well at night."
Gao Qiufeng couldn't tell Shen Qinghe about Qi Qingmei's contraception, so she changed the subject.
Shen Qinghe was tactful enough to stop asking questions and invited Gao Qiufeng to come over and visit when she was free.
Gao Qiufeng waved her hand and said, "No, Fusheng and I will go back this afternoon and clean up the house for Qingmei. It's almost time."
Shen Qinghe looked regretful. She still wanted to ask her something.
"Then remember to come to my house next time you come. My mother misses you so much."
Gao Qiufeng's mouth twitched.
She and He Xiuyun didn't have much interaction in normal times, but she didn't expect that the fourth wife of the Jiang family had such a sharp tongue that she could turn black into white.
"Okay." He said perfunctorily.
Gao Qiufeng stopped chatting with Shen Qinghe and focused on her own affairs.
Shen Qinghe slowly got down from the stool and went into the house.
"Qinghe, I heard you talking to someone in the yard."
He Xiuyun was sitting on the sofa making little shoes. When she saw Shen Qinghe come in, her eyes fell on her bulging belly and her eyes became more kind.
"The village chief and his wife are here. I just stood on the stool and chatted with my aunt." Shen Qinghe picked up the cup on the table and drank water.
He Xiuyun was startled, "You're leaning on the wall again?"
Seeing that Shen Qinghe was fine, he reminded her, "Next time you want to climb on the wall next door, call me to join you. It's too dangerous for you to climb up alone."
"Mom, I will be careful." Shen Qinghe said with a smile.
He Xiuyun still insisted, and Shen Qinghe agreed because she didn't want to make her worry.
He Xiuyun worked for a while, thought about it, and felt that she should go next door to talk to Gao Qiufeng.
After all, they were from the same village and were now neighbors. She couldn't pretend not to know.
"Qinghe, if you have anything to say, just call Hongmei or Fenxia. I'll go take a look next door." He Xiuyun stood up and patted the loose threads on his body.
"Mom, can you please help me find out something?" Shen Qinghe looked at He Xiuyun with bright eyes.
Gao Qiufeng was washing clothes in the yard. When she heard someone knocking on the door, she turned and said to Qi Fusheng who was squatting next to her smoking.
"Go see who it is?"
Qi Fusheng stood up, holding a pipe in his mouth, and went to open the door with his hands behind his back.
Seeing that it was He Xiuyun, he was stunned for a moment, "To build a country."
"Village chief." He Xiuyun raised the spinach in her hand, "This is the spinach that Jianguo planted in the yard, it's growing well.
I heard you were coming, so I sent some over."
Qi Fusheng moved aside to let He Xiuyun in. He looked behind her but didn't see Jiang Jianguo.
"The supply and marketing cooperative is selling pork today, and I asked him to go and queue up." He Xiuyun saw what Qi Fusheng was thinking and explained.
Qi Fusheng smacked his lips. It was indeed different. The Jiang family now ate more meat than they did vegetables.
He smelled the aroma of meat from next door yesterday.
I went to buy meat again today. These days are better than Chinese New Year.
"Xiuyun is here." When Gao Qiufeng saw He Xiuyun, she hurriedly washed her foamy hands in the basin and took the spinach from her.
"There are still more dishes, just keep them for yourself."
"A lot." He Xiuyun smiled, "Qinghe rented a big yard, and Jianguo planted some vegetables in the corner."
As she spoke, He Xiuyun glanced around the yard and pointed at the sunny corner of the wall.
"You can also grow some vegetables there, so it will be convenient for you to eat."
Green vegetables are the most scarce and sometimes they are not necessarily available for purchase.
Gao Qiufeng smiled awkwardly and didn't respond.
If she and Qi Fusheng lived here forever, they would naturally grow some vegetables in the yard.
Jiang Xiaohui goes out early and leaves late, and it's obvious that he is very busy at work.
Qi Qingmei was so lazy that she was afraid that even if she sowed the seeds, she would be too lazy to water them, so it was better not to waste them.
The weather was nice today, so the two of them sat in the yard and chatted.
He Xiuyun pointed at the laundry basin and said, "Just do your thing. It won't affect our conversation."
Gao Qiufeng sat down beside the basin and chatted with He Xiuyun while washing clothes.
As he was talking, he ended up talking about the child.
He Xiuyun smiled and said, "This woman got pregnant as soon as she said she would. It's better to plant the vegetables in advance. It's good for the baby if the pregnant woman eats fresh vegetables."
"Don't worry, they don't want a baby in the next two years." Gao Qiufeng said casually.
After she finished speaking, her heart skipped a beat!
Why did she feel that after He Xiuyun had laid the groundwork for so long, this sentence was the key point?
Don’t want a baby?
He Xiuyun was shocked inside, but did not show it. She naturally changed the subject and talked to Gao Qiufeng about things in the village.
