When the ladies and their companions were preparing to return to the city, Aunt Yuan moved the jar of sauerkraut onto the mule cart and then spoke to the ladies for a few words.
Jiang Yue was stunned, with a strange expression on her face, but she didn't say anything.
On the way back to the city, Jiang Yue asked Fan Bai to try driving, and Fan Jin and Fan Mo rode in the car with them.
Then, he did not sit on the shaft of the carriage with Jiang Nian as usual, but went into the carriage.
Jiang Nian didn't know what was wrong with her. He just said that he wanted to catch up on his sleep and then there was no more movement.
Only when we reached the city gate did we see her get off the car.
After returning the Wang family's car, Jiang Yue and her husband returned home, with only a ray of setting sun remaining in the sky.
After dinner, the family of three started weaving bamboo cages in the yard, as they would need a lot of them to raise chickens.
Jiang Yue greeted them briefly and went upstairs without saying a word.
Jiang Nian followed her with a frown on his face.
"Yueyue, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yue took off her coat, lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and her mind went blank.
Jiang Nian reached out to touch her forehead, but she grabbed his hand and put it on her stomach.
Jiang Nian touched his stomach gently, "Does your stomach feel uncomfortable? Does it hurt?"
Jiang Yue opened her eyes with a complicated expression, "No, I think I'm pregnant..."
Jiang Nian's massaging hands froze instantly. He had never experienced this before, nor had he seen anyone else pregnant.
Even though the two of them had imagined what their future child would look like, he still found it hard to believe at this moment. They had a child?
The two of them sat and lay down, looking at each other for a quarter of an hour.
"I, I'm not sure yet, but I haven't had my period for two months. I was so busy that I forgot..."
Although her period was irregular, it was never so late.
Jiang Nian held her hand tightly. "It's okay. If we have a child, we will raise it. If we don't, it doesn't matter. As long as we have you, that's all that matters."
Jiang Yue's heart was extremely peaceful at this moment. Yes, just let nature take its course. Whether or not to have a child is all a matter of fate.
The two of them lay in bed, and the new parents felt a little dazed.
Jiang Yue turned sideways and pressed her face against his chest. "In half a month, bring the piglets back to the farm, and we'll go back together."
Jiang Nian thought about how she had been wanting to vomit at the slightest odor lately, so he said, "Let's borrow another mule cart from the Wang family, or ask if we can buy it. Then we can unload the carriage and replace it with a flatbed. We can use both carts to take away the pigs and chickens. I'll take them home first, and then I'll come home to pick you up."
"Okay, then I'll prepare some more fruit. They love fruit. Even if they don't sell it, we can ask the official. As long as we have money, we can buy it."
Jiang Yue placed her hand on Jiang Nian's lower back and hugged him tightly. "Also, if we really have a child, the cloth I planned to save won't be enough. The cloth shop has been open for half a year, and we've only sold one cart of cloth so far, which is considered slow. But after this year, that's not certain. I want to close the shop and keep the cloth so that we don't have to go out and buy it at a high price when we use it all up."
It takes three years to rebuild after one year of chaos. The world has been in chaos for two years, so it will take more than six years to fully recover, and the price of cloth will be higher for a long time.
Besides, she has more than just two people to support now. The people she bought and the three siblings are all her burdens, so it’s right to keep some more cloth.
"Okay, any more?"
"Also, I want to drink soy milk tomorrow, and fish head tofu soup..."
Jiang Yue's voice gradually lowered as she spoke. He looked down and found that she had fallen asleep.
Jiang Nian placed a kiss on her forehead and said, "Okay, I'll make it for you tomorrow."
The next morning, Jiang Nian got up at daybreak. Or rather, he didn't sleep well at all.
Zhang Liang was diligent and got up early. When he saw his master cleaning the millstone, he hurried over to help.
Jiang Nian waved his hand and said softly, "You guys go and do your own thing, I'll grind it myself."
He also reminded, "Speak softly at home from now on."
"Hey, good sir."
Jiang Yue was awakened by a strong bean fragrance. When she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
Jiang Nian put clothes on her and said, "I heated up some steamed buns. Drink some soy milk first to cool down. You can have the soup after lunch."
Jiang Yue was confused and had forgotten what she said before going to bed. She let him help her put on her clothes and wash up.
After breakfast, they went to look for the dentist, so it was better to ask here first to avoid owing anyone a favor.
At the moment, the brokers really had no livestock to buy or sell. Now there is a shortage of livestock everywhere, and all of them are raised in the hands of the government.
"Just remember it for us first. We'll take as much as we can. If we have any news, we'll go to Jiang's Dried Fish Shop and ask the owner to settle the bill."
"Oh, okay!"
The broker respectfully sent the "new rich man" away.
In the end, they came to the Wang family. In terms of connections and information, they were still better as "old-fashioned businessmen."
Wang Wenxuan thought for a while, "If I don't want the fruit, I can ask you for some fruit seeds..."
"OK."
Before he could even finish his words, the other party decisively agreed. Wang Wenxuan was speechless. With such a straightforward response, he was still planning to waste some time arguing...
Jiang Yue gave him half a bag of pear and peach seeds, both of which were suitable for the local climate.
Butler Wang took the seeds carefully.
To be honest, she really didn't care if the other party planted it to steal her business. The cake was so big, it was impossible for her to swallow it all by herself.
Besides, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot, so there always needs to be someone standing in front.
