No one asks you to have children later. This is the first time I’ve heard this in my 30 or 40 years of life.
Qi Lu looked at the two elderly people without a sneer on his face. Instead, he said seriously, "It's not impossible to have children early, but it's not good for their health, and it can easily lead to two deaths. Even if the births go smoothly, it will still cause great harm to their bodies. Unless they take good care of themselves later in life, they can grow old. Otherwise... at least thirty, at most fifty, will be gone."
Ge Shuzhen was shocked when she heard this: "Really?"
Qi Lu nodded very affirmatively: "Seriously."
Ge Shuzhen took a deep breath. Fortunately, her daughter-in-law and Kexin were not pregnant, otherwise she would have been worried to death.
"Then... then what age is better for first birth?"
Qi Lu held up two fingers: "Twenty or above will be enough."
This means that Su Yan and Ke Xin will have to wait for another three or four years... But they can afford to wait. As long as the children are healthy, having one or two will be enough.
Qi Lu's actions made Ke Xin really believe that his medical skills were absolutely amazing. She knew that the earlier the child was born, the worse it would be. It seemed necessary to build a good relationship with doctors in the future.
After discussing the house, Ge Shuzhen asked Jiang Yongtian what he thought: "Old man, what do you think? Do you have anything to add?"
At this moment, Jiang Yongtian sat up straight and nodded seriously: "Yes!"
Everyone looked at Dad, waiting for his next words, and wondering if there was anything else to add since the house was already built like this.
So, Jiang Yongtian said, "The house looks nice, but...why is there no room for livestock in this yard?"
"We are farmers, not the town's gentry. We don't need to raise cows, chickens, ducks, or geese at home!"
Sure enough, Dad is still a pragmatic farmer. He doesn't know how to enjoy the money he makes. Instead, he still thinks about these things. Kexin really admires him.
"We must add a barn!" Ge Shuzhen said, adding, "Since we already have a cowshed and a horse shed, a pigpen wouldn't be a problem. Why don't we raise ten or twenty pigs next year?"
She turned her head and asked Jiang Yongtian, who nodded frantically with a green glow: "Sure, it's all money when we sell it during the New Year!"
Raising so many pigs in a nice yard...it suddenly feels a bit weird.
She said, "Mom, I think you should raise more so that I can make roast suckling pig!"
When Ge Shuzhen thought about roasting an unweaned pig, her brows furrowed. She might have thought she was joking at first, but after eating her own rooster, she no longer thought it was a joke.
Although it tasted delicious, it was too cruel. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "His father, let's not raise him. No matter how many we raise, it won't be enough to harm this girl."
"How am I a nuisance? Isn't it delicious to eat that little pig?" Ke Xin protested.
Jiang Yongtian nodded: "I'll listen to you. We won't raise any more cows. Let's just raise some dairy cows and oxen. If conditions permit, we can buy a carriage."
The couple reached an agreement to stop raising pigs. Ke Xin smiled secretly. This was the right thing to do. At such an old age, raising those animals was not only laborious but also did not make much money.
After discussion, it was decided to be the fifth day of February, which is less than a month away.
Liu Feiyang dragged Ke Xin back to his room, trailing behind him with a kerosene lamp. As soon as the three of them sat down, Qi Lu immediately asked Ke Xin, "Are there any more strawberries? I'm really craving some!"
Who wouldn’t be greedy when hearing this?
"I'll have someone send some to you tomorrow so you can eat as much as you want!"
After receiving Ke Xin's promise, Qi Lu smiled and stood up to say goodbye: "You guys chat, I'm going back to sleep!"
I gave my parents three thousand taels of silver, so giving him some strawberries is nothing.
After the annoying person left, Ke Xin discussed with him: "Let's build a yard in the village. When we get tired of living in the town, we can come back and live here!"
"That's what I thought. It's not so convenient to always live at my father-in-law's house. We should have our own yard!" Liu Feiyang pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I'll find a master to design it. You can look at the drawings and if you're satisfied, we can build a separate yard!"
Looking for someone to design it? She shouldn't have too many houses in this area in her mind.
When she built a house for the first time, she still wanted to build a villa with a small garden. The interior should be in the style of a modern house she imagined. Although the quality might not be the same, the furniture, sofas and other things would still be acceptable.
"No, I'll draw the blueprint myself, and then you can find someone skilled in building houses and ask if it can be built."
Liu Feiyang thought of something and asked quietly, "But what about the house in the world you are in?"
"Yes!" Ke Xin replied with a smile. After a moment of happiness, she began to raise funds. "But... I'm worried it won't be built. Besides, there are so many facilities that may not be built."
It's like a toilet.
Seeing his wife's expression change from joy to loss, Liu Feiyang was reluctant to let her smile fade away. He said, "Don't worry, I will find you a skilled craftsman from Daliang. We must build a house like yours."
This is a promise, not just a casual remark.
Ke Xin looked at his serious expression and couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and pinched his face: "You are more suitable for a nonchalant look. Such a solemn expression doesn't suit you at all!"
"It's mainly because he's not cute and not handsome!"
After hearing the last two sentences, Liu Feiyang smiled mischievously again and kissed her secretly: "So my lady likes me like this, if you had told me earlier, I would smile for you every day!"
"Get out!" Ke Xin smiled and avoided his mouth. The two of them made a fuss in the house for a while before going to wash up.
Outside the house, Xiao Wu held the sword and looked up at the sky, his face full of envy. The relationship between the Madam and the Young Master was really good. When would he be able to be like the Young Master and win the beauty?
The next day, Jiang You brought his bride back home, and everyone else was still busy as usual.
Perhaps she had been staying at her parents' home for too long and was living very comfortably, so she forgot about the affairs of her husband's family. Early in the morning, just after breakfast, Nanny Qiao came in a carriage.
He bowed respectfully to Ke Xin and said, "Young Madam, the old lady sent an old servant to ask when you and the young master will return. The master has selected several places that are suitable for building a winemaking workshop, but he is undecided. Please go back and discuss it with us!"
Ke Xin sighed, thinking that the New Year was over and it was time to go back to work.
"Pack up your things and go home now. Mammy, go back and tell Mom first, don't let them worry about you!"
Aunt Qiao smiled and nodded, then knelt again: "Then I will leave first."
Ke Xin escorted Aunt Qiao out of the yard. When she came back, Haitang and Moli had already started working on the property, while Xiaowu had gone to pack the carriage. Liu Feiyang held his wife's hand and comforted her softly, "We'll come live here after we finish building our own house. By then, you'll have your own study, and you can guide our business from here!"
She nodded gently, leaned on his shoulder and sighed. If he could treat her like this for a long time, then she would have found a treasure in her life and had bet on the right person.
"Let's go and say goodbye to our parents."
