"We're still talking. Why don't you invite your brother-in-law into the house and sit down?" Zhou Yangdi saw that they were busy talking and not coming into the house, so she urged them.
"Yes, yes, I was so busy talking that I forgot. Come in quickly." Deng Zhiqiang parked his bicycle at the door and shouted as he entered the house.
"Mom, my wife is pregnant and she's been pregnant for three months."
The Deng family was very happy when they heard this.
"Really? That's great! What did the doctor say? Are both adults and children okay?" Liang Haidi asked.
"Everything is fine. Oh, my brother-in-law is here." Deng Zhiqiang almost forgot.
"Where are the people?" Liang Haidi just said that when she saw her son-in-law enter the house.
"Jianping is here. Is Aqing okay? I was thinking of visiting her tomorrow." Liang Haidi asked. Her daughter was young and inexperienced, and she was worried that she might get pregnant accidentally.
"It's nothing, I just felt a little nauseous and vomited. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry. Now I'm fine and can eat and sleep."
Everyone felt relieved after hearing what Guo Jianping said.
This is all normal during pregnancy.
Everyone chatted for a while, and Guo Jianping saw that it was getting late and said he wanted to go back.
Liang Haidi was worried about her daughter, so she asked her son-in-law to wait a moment. She went back to the house, took out half a bag of red dates and picked up a dozen eggs, and asked him to take them back.
Guo Jianping felt embarrassed to ask for it. There were more than ten people in this family, big and small, and food was already scarce. How could he feel comfortable taking it?
After much pushing and shoving, Liang Feng finally said, "Take it back and use it to nourish my little sister. It will also be convenient for us to buy things in town."
Guo Jianping had no choice but to accept it, said a few words of thanks, and kept the favor in mind.
After all, the relationship between relatives can only last long if there is interaction.
After taking the things back, Liang Xueying still blamed her son, asking him to take the things back when she asked him to honor his mother-in-law. Guo Jianping said that these were things his mother-in-law gave to her to nourish her body, and Liang Xueying gave up.
At dinner time, Liang Xueying placed steamed eggs in front of Deng Qingling and said, "Ah Qing, eat more eggs. These are some that your mother-in-law asked Jianping to bring back for you to nourish your body. The rest are in the kitchen. You can cook them whenever you want. You can't go hungry."
"I understand," Deng Qingling responded.
Although I can go back to the space to have more food, my diet cannot be too different from others. I have to be fat and others are thin. It’s okay as long as the food looks good.
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year, wash away the dirt.
On the 28th day of the lunar year, everyone started cleaning. After all, such an important day as the Chinese New Year should be celebrated in a clean manner.
First, use a duster made of banyan leaves, young bamboo branches and leaves, safflower, etc. to remove the dust nets on the corner beams of the house, then use alkaline water or water boiled with pomelo leaves and kumquat leaves to wash daily necessities to sweep away pestilence and remove bad luck, and then clean other places inside and outside the house.
Liang Xueying took Guo Jianping to buy New Year's goods, while the others cleaned the house.
After arranging and putting away the things we bought and keeping them clean, we made snacks together, such as fried peanuts, fried melon seeds, and glutinous rice noodles.
When visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, it is a very face-saving thing to bring glutinous rice sticks. After all, making glutinous rice sticks requires a lot of good things, such as sugar, glutinous rice flour, and oil. Not everyone is willing to spend so much money.
After a lot of busy work, everything is ready.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, the last day of 1965.
Everyone got up early in the morning, and after breakfast they started to kill chickens and ducks, and prepare the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner and the first day of the new year (according to local customs, no killing is allowed on the first and seventh days of the new year). Deng Qingling also got up early.
At noon, we started to put up Spring Festival couplets, window flowers and take a bath. After taking a bath, everyone started to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.
