Chapter 241 Expecting Childbirth
Although Erhe has never been pregnant and given birth to a child, hasn’t she seen a pig run even if she hasn’t eaten pork?
Many pregnant women still go to work, exercise, and dress themselves up beautifully, as if pregnancy has no effect on them at all. Some pregnant women even have particularly smooth delivery and give birth to their babies easily.
But when it comes to her...
It's amazing.
Because of her physical condition, He Zheng never dared to ask her to go to Beijing again, for fear that she would get into trouble due to the bumpy road. Erhe stayed in the countryside during her entire pregnancy, and Wang Xiu didn't let her do any work. Even things like underwear were taken care of by Wang Xiu, not to mention other housework.
She was not allowed to get involved in making clothes, and Erhe was really bored. Fortunately, Liang Wenwen knew about their clothing business. When she arrived in Beijing, she traveled around, visited art academies and fashion schools, and sent them a lot of useful information, color cards, illustrations, and design teaching materials.
Erhe received it and showed it to Zou Zhou and Li Xi.
These things cannot be found in the countryside at all, and they are precious teaching materials.
Erhe used this time to recharge herself.
A breeding farm has also been established in Ku Shui Village. There are pheasants running all over a large area in the back mountain, and villagers like to come here to hang out when they have nothing to do.
Looking at the pheasants running all over the ground, I see hope.
Life is too hard just relying on farming, and it is always good to have some extra income.
Speaking of which, an outrageous thing happened in the middle. People from somewhere heard that there were pheasants and pigs in the mountains behind this place, and a few brave ones came to steal them.
It just so happened that Erhe had been going to the toilet more frequently since she became pregnant.
Wang Xiu was worried that she couldn't handle it alone, so she slept on the floor in her room at night. If Erhe got up at night, she would get up too.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out with flashlights. The weather was hot, and they were familiar with this place in the countryside, so they were not afraid.
Erhe is using the toilet inside.
Wang Xiu was waiting outside when he heard bursts of roosters crowing from the back mountain.
"Oh no, there might be a thief."
We are all used to living in the countryside. The chickens are sleeping at night, so why would they crow for no reason?
Wang Xiu woke up the village chief He, and the gongs and drums started beating. Half of the men in the village got up at night, carrying torches, shoulder poles, and hoes.
That scene...
Erhe was not so lucky as to see them. Fearing that the thieves would run to the village in a panic, Erhe hid in a small room in the toilet and locked the door from the inside.
There was no way. It happened so suddenly that she couldn't help but want to poop, and she had to catch the thief outside.
Li Xi and Zou Zhou came over next. Zou Zhou was also pregnant now, and the pregnancy was still in progress. The three women hid in the house with the lights on and the door locked, listening to the sounds of gongs and drums outside. No one knew who started laughing first, but in the end all three of them were laughing so hard.
This kind of experience only happens in the countryside, there is no chance of it in the city.
Later, Wang Xiu and his friends came back and said that they had caught the thief. They were three young men, about fifteen or sixteen years old. They looked quite pitiful. Their family was too poor and they had nothing to eat. When they knew that there were chickens here, they wanted to come and catch a few chickens and some eggs to exchange for money.
I didn't expect to be caught on my first try.
The two chickens that I finally caught ran away, and the eggs hidden in my pocket were broken.
Village chief He didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he asked them to admit their mistakes and promise not to do it again, and then let them go.
"Dad is kind-hearted,"
"Yeah, seeing how skinny those guys were, he gave each of them two yuan, hoping they wouldn't do it again. It's not easy running this farm in our village, and the whole village is working hard to get some money for the New Year." Wang Xiu thought of something, "Erhe, are you okay?"
"It's okay. I'm fine."
Now that she is pregnant, Erhe pays more attention to protecting herself and will not put herself in danger.
"If you ask me, it was Erhe who had the best idea. She thought of setting up a breeding farm, which will help increase the income of the villagers." Li Xi was full of gratitude to Erhe. His leg was cured, and life at home was getting better and better.
"That's what the villagers said, Erhe. You did a great job on this matter."
Erhe smiled, "Mom, don't think I'm so noble. I'm mainly doing this to increase our family's income. When we build a factory, Dad will be the director, and you'll be the director's wife. We can be grand for once."
"Okay, hahahaha——"
It is quite interesting to hear several people talking about the future.
The countryside naturally has its own wild charm. Planting in spring and harvest in autumn. When the fields are flooded in June, eels begin to appear. Erhe eats a lot of this stuff. The villagers catch them and send a few to her. There are also fish and shrimps, peaches grown by the villagers, and in summer, melons and grapes from the fields.
When summer really came, Erhe was already more than 7 months pregnant. Her belly was obviously bulging and she felt uncomfortable and uneasily sleeping at night.
Her feet became swollen and she could no longer wear her old shoes, so Wang Xiu made new ones for her.
In addition to these, Wang Xiu also looked for cotton cloth to make diapers, as well as blankets, clothes and shoes for the baby. She had to prepare everything.
Fortunately, there is a sewing machine at home, so Li Xi can help.
Li Xi prepared it for her future nephew (daughter). Although both were pregnant, Zou Zhou's pregnancy was much easier than Erhe's. She could do many things by herself. However, Li Xi, the sister-in-law, was too good and took care of everything.
Zou Zhou mentioned this to Erhe countless times.
"I was a little scared at first. Without Li Dong around, my mother's family is just as good as not having anyone there. There are no elderly people to take care of me on the Li side. Fortunately, I have Li Xi and your mother-in-law, which makes me feel at ease."
Erhe grabbed her and said, "Don't be afraid. He Zheng and I have mentioned that in a few months, when you are pregnant, we will let Li Dong come back. This way, you will feel more at ease."
Zou Zhou is still different from her. Zou Zhou's family is too ruthless and now it seems as if they are all broken off.
The Li family has no elders, so Li Dong has to come back to accompany them for such a big event as giving birth.
"Well, where's He Zheng? When will he come back to accompany you?"
He Zheng came back in early September. Erhe and He Zheng had discussed that when Erhe finally gave birth, she should go to the provincial capital and give birth in the military hospital. The doctors and equipment there were much better than those in the county hospital.
Wang Xiu and Village Chief He also agreed.
When He Zheng came back, he drove a jeep and Wang Xiu followed him to the provincial capital. They brought everything Erhe needed for childbirth, including adults' spare clothes, shoes, towels, cotton cloth, and the baby's diapers, clothes, shoes and socks, filling two large bags.
When I arrived in the provincial capital, I still lived in Nie Ming's dormitory.
For Erhe, this is probably the only regret. She and He Zheng have saved a considerable amount of money now, enough to buy a house in the provincial capital.
But there is no talk of buying and selling houses at this time.
So they could only live in the compound for now.
