After a while, the old man, holding a pipe in his mouth, slowly walked into the courtyard of Lu Qingyang's house.
놛 was counting the days to check Chen Mo's pulse regularly and observe the fetus's condition.
"Master, you are here." Her complexion was rosy and she looked energetic. The slight discomfort she had experienced during her pregnancy had long disappeared under the nourishment of the spiritual spring water.
Shen Mo smiled and held out her wrist.
The old man placed three fingers firmly on it and savored it carefully.
At first, 놛 had his usual kind smile on his face and stroked his beard.
But gradually, the smile froze, his brows slightly frowned, and his eyes became doubtful.
He changed his hand and placed his finger on Chen Mo's other wrist again. This time, the force under his finger increased slightly, as if he was carefully distinguishing some extremely subtle signals.
The old man did not answer immediately, and slowly withdrew his hand after a while.
Lu Qingyang was chopping wood in the yard. Hearing some silence in the inner room for a while, he felt a little strange, so he put down his axe and walked in.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the old man's solemn expression, and my heart suddenly lifted.
It was my first time being a mother, and I had no experience, so I was very nervous.
"You two...are really...creative!"
The old man paused, and said clearly, word by word, "This pulse is as smooth as a pearl, flowing smoothly, and should be smooth. It is a very good sign of pregnancy! But this pulse is so strong, and the qi and blood are full. When you take the radial pulse deeply, it seems that there are two parallel and equally strong pulses!"
놛's voice suddenly rose, full of joy: "Girl! What's in your belly... 놊is one! Two! Twins!"
"Twins?!" Shen Mo and Lu Qingyang cried out in shock at the same time, staring in amazement.
Twins! 놛 unexpectedly had two children at once! 놛's mind went blank due to the overwhelming sense of happiness. She could only grin and repeat over and over again: "Two? Two? Twins? Really, old man? Did you make the right diagnosis?"
"Bullshit!" The old man was so excited that his beard stood up, and he swore in a rare way:
"I have been taking pulses for my whole life, how could I have made a mistake in diagnosing a pregnancy? Especially with twins, the pulse is unique, the qi and blood are flowing in two different paths, and they are extremely strong! I am wrong! I am absolutely wrong!"
놛 pointed at Chen Mo's belly and said firmly, "There are two little kids in here! Your old Lu family, this is a disaster!"
What Lu Qingyang was thinking at this moment was that after having two children, he would not have to have more in the future to avoid suffering again.
"Great! Great! Dragon and Phoenix appear together, killing two birds with one stone.
Qingyang, you are so lucky, girl, you have to be more careful!
From double body to triple body, you need to keep up with nutrition and rest! You will never do heavy or strenuous work again!"
Shen Mo touched her head with a smile: "Now there is no need to do any heavy work. Even if I go out to treat animals, Lu Qingyang will find me an assistant. I just need to talk and I don't need to move. After I come back, I just read books to have fun."
The old man looked at the books on the table and said, "These books are full of wisdom."
Now that I am old, I am powerless and can only rely on the future development of my apprentice.
Shen Mo picked up a book: "Teacher, do you want to read it?"
"It's useless to look at it now. You know my hands shake."
Moreover, the trembling of the hands is mostly due to psychological reasons. "Everything in the production team will depend on you in the future. As for me, I am going to retire."
Lu Qingyang shook his head: "Who said that? You have superb skills, and there will definitely be a broader space waiting for you in the future."
놛 already has an idea.
The happiest person was Uncle Shen, who clapped his thighs and laughed.
Aunt Liu said happily: "Oh my! Shuangbanger! This is a great blessing! Qingyang, you are great! Xiaomo, you are a great contributor to the Lu family!"
She immediately arranged to send all the dozens of eggs she had saved at home to Chen Mo.
When Uncle Tie heard about this, he brought two freshly caught big carps to congratulate him, grinning, "Qingyang! Good job! You solved two targets at once! From now on, the prosperity of our production team depends on your family taking the lead!"
Xiao Ting surrounded Shen Mo's belly, eyes wide open with curiosity: "Sister, are there really two babies inside? Will they fight?"
"I don't know that." Shen Mo touched her belly. No wonder her reaction was so intense. It turned out that it was because she was pregnant with two babies.
Chen Mo became a key protected person and was ordered to rest and take care of her pregnancy.
Lu Qingyang even started the "super dad" rehearsal mode.
The mother and baby area of the space mall has been turned upside down. Multivitamins for pregnant women, DHA algae oil, calcium tablets, and professional books on the pregnancy and care of twins still need to be studied.
She remembered the dream she had before, and it was likely that she got pregnant at that time.
No wonder the teacher didn't notice it at all at that time. The two babies must have just entered her belly at that time.
The autumn grain has been stored in the warehouse and the winter snow has not yet arrived, so the production team has a rare moment of leisure.
The hot spring spa is operating in an orderly manner, and in the vegetable greenhouse, the lush green spinach and rapeseed are already ripe for picking leaves.
Lu Qingyang stood at the edge of the threshing ground, his eyes sweeping over several unused old warehouses in the team and several flat open spaces nearby.
After finishing their main farm work, the young and strong laborers were assigned to reinforce the hot spring pool, weave thicker straw mats, or go to the village to cut firewood to store for the winter. They were still busy.
Some elderly people who do not do heavy work, or members with disabilities, have no points if they work, and it is difficult for them to support themselves without points. When they are old and disabled, they will definitely be disliked.
Lu Qingyang stroked his chin, thinking in his heart.
Although hot springs and greenhouses offer hope, they rely primarily on natural resources and specific technologies.
The labor force absorbed is limited, especially those members who do heavy physical work.
How can we create value for the collective and ourselves?
His eyes fell on the old warehouses and vacant land again, and an idea gradually became clear: agricultural products plus!
Hot springs and greenhouses solve the problem of "production", especially greenhouse vegetables, which are absolutely scarce in the cold winter.
However, vegetables are easy to store, so their value is not maximized if they are eaten directly or exchanged in small quantities.
If we can carry out simple processing to extend the shelf life, increase the added value, and even create special products, we can not only be self-sufficient, but also sell them after the opening up tomorrow.
This is the most mature and easy to use.
Utilize the Chinese cabbage and radish stored in winter, as well as the surplus cucumbers, beans and peppers in the greenhouse.
Build a few clean large ceramic jars or cement pools, and organize people to wash, cut and pickle them manually.
The recipe is the key. We can explore the recipes of the older generation, or we can use the seasoning area of the space mall to find various recipes!
The goal is to make pickles, kimchi, pickled cucumbers and spicy cabbage that taste good, are clean and hygienic!
