Stir-fried river snails are the best. They're spicy and you have to keep drinking water, but they're truly delicious. This year, I didn't catch enough because I was inexperienced, and we almost had a fight over them. Next year, I'll have to catch more. Anyway, they have little meat and are a hassle to eat, so no one likes them on a regular basis. I can just pick a bucketful of them in the river.
Although loach is also meat, its taste is not as good as snails, so you can catch less of it. The eel is okay, and the stir-fried shredded eel is spicy, but not very satisfying. It would be better if they put more chili.
When the time comes, I can bring two steamed buns from home and dip them in the soup. It will definitely be extremely delicious and I won’t even need to wash the bowl.
Tiedan was fantasizing in his mind, with a silly smile on his face and a sucking sound from his mouth.
Jianshu found it unbearable to watch and turned away with disgust.
However, Tiedan, who was now filled with joy, did not know that his expectations might be dashed...
A few months later.
A chilly wind blew outside the window as Jianshu mended clothes on her sewing machine. Gu Mingjing was always working hard, and after a while, his clothes were inevitably torn here and there.
Nowadays, there is no logic in buying new clothes when they are torn. They are always new for three years, old for three years, and then patched up for another three years. The daughter-in-law of a family with good craftsmanship who sews clothes with fine stitches and no visible patches will inevitably be praised for her virtuousness.
Of course, Jianshu doesn't have this ability. At most, it relies on the sewing machine to make the stitches solid and not easily cracked.
After half an hour, the work was finally done.
After looking at his masterpiece, Jian Shu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and stretched. He was about to walk around the room for a while when his eyes casually swept across the calendar on the wall. Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly thought of something and stopped.
His gaze returned to the diary, staring at the date on it, and he silently calculated in his mind. Then his pupils dilated slightly and his brain began to work rapidly.
When was her last period?
Counting the days, it seems like it’s been almost a month, right?
Her period has always been on time and rarely delayed, but this time it was more than half a month late, which is really abnormal.
This abnormality made her wonder if she was pregnant.
After I had the guess, I couldn't help but think about it.
Her appetite hadn't changed much during this time. She still ate her usual favorite foods, especially fish, and she hadn't experienced any nausea at all. It had nothing to do with morning sickness, but it seemed not every pregnant woman would experience it. Different body constitutions made comparisons difficult.
As for other things, she seems to be a little sleepy. After all, the weather is cold now, and she has nothing to do at home every day. Of course, she either plays or sleeps.
None of these seemed to be able to intuitively determine whether she was pregnant, and Jianshu's face became conflicted for a moment.
They had agreed to have a child this year a year ago. She even adjusted her daily routine, started going to bed early and getting up early, and exercised regularly. Gu Mingjing also quit smoking and drinking. Oh no, he didn't smoke in the first place, he just quit drinking.
Just to welcome the arrival of the new life in the best condition, and don't want any accidents to happen because of them.
I persisted in this way for more than half a year, and after I was fully prepared, I started preparing for pregnancy.
In the beginning, the two of them were extremely careful and made a fuss about even the smallest changes. They even went to the hospital several times for this, but the result was that they made a big deal out of nothing.
After a few misunderstandings, even the doctor couldn't help but advise them to relax and not be too nervous, and to just wait until the right time comes.
After they came back that time, they reflected on themselves and realized that having a child was not a must. Being so nervous was affecting their lives, which was not good.
The two of them persuaded each other and soon figured it out, deciding to let everything take its course.
At the beginning, I couldn't help but pay attention to it, but as the days passed, I slowly forgot about it due to her deliberate neglect.
Otherwise, if she had just suddenly seen the diary, she probably wouldn't have remembered this matter at all.
What is this called?
I planted flowers with care but they didn't grow, but I planted willows by accident and they grew into a shade?
Or is it that after so many twists and turns, you think there is no way out, but suddenly you see another village with willows and flowers?
For a moment, Jianshu didn't know whether to be happy or helpless.
However, this was just her guess. Without more evidence, she shouldn't be too happy. It would be bad if her joy turned out to be in vain.
While sitting on the bed folding clothes, Jianshu couldn't help but stare blankly.
I was a little absent-minded the whole afternoon.
It was not until Gu Mingjing returned home at night that he was surprised to see the house was dark and the lights were off.
Is his wife not home? Maybe she went to play next door and hasn't come back yet?
This shouldn't be the case...
Without even taking off his coat, he turned on the light and searched the room for someone.
"Shushu? Wife?" There was no one in the living room or the kitchen.
Turn the corner and walk towards the bedroom.
"Shu--" He stopped talking immediately after he opened his mouth. He tiptoed to the bedside and looked at the rosy little sleeping face. He couldn't help but frowned slightly. He reached out and touched Jian Shu's head. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the temperature was normal.
It’s okay, I’m not sick, but why are you sleeping now?
He walked out with doubt in his heart, closed the door and went to the kitchen.
When he finished cooking, Jianshu still didn't wake up. This time he really couldn't sit still anymore.
"Shushu? Shushu, wake up!"
"Hmm--" Jianshu, who was sleeping soundly, turned over and felt a mosquito buzzing in his ear. "Noisy!" There was a hazy sleepiness and dissatisfaction in his voice, and it sounded coquettish and more like a coquettish act.
Gu Mingjing's heart softened, and he almost didn't want to wake her up. But he couldn't. Eating was a big deal, and if he slept too long now, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night. This would easily disrupt his sleep and rest routine.
So he could only harden his heart and continue shouting. Even when Jianshu buried his head in the quilt, he did not give up. He dug him out and continued shouting. The key point was perseverance.
"Who is it! Hateful!" Jianshu was finally woken up, his brows furrowed, his eyes half open and half closed.
After seeing the person in front of him clearly, he became even more furious.
"What are you doing? Do you know that disturbing someone's sweet dream is immoral? Look, it's not even dawn yet, why are you waking me up? You can't drag me down with you just because you have to get up early!" Jianshu started talking incessantly, getting angrier and angrier as he spoke.
Gu Mingjing: ...
His expression changed through several colors like a palette, and finally only six dots were left to express his speechlessness.
He said that you can’t sleep too long. Look, your head is covered, right?
People are so stupid that they can't tell the difference between morning and evening.
