"tonic?"
The sisters-in-law were all stunned.
They knew that the food they ate while fleeing famine was good, and that a bowl of wild vegetable dumpling soup that looked ordinary often held a lot of secrets.
Either mushrooms or meat slices are added and cooked in one pot.
Sometimes it tastes like medicinal herbs, but I just add them casually because I don’t want to waste the herbs I picked.
But now it seems that all of this is not just random additions?
The young lady smiled slightly, her eyebrows raised and she looked at everyone with a smile. "Ever since we started studying medicine, we have deliberately added some useful herbs to it.
Sometimes, the seemingly simple wild vegetables we collected were actually medicinal herbs. But the most important thing was that we ate well along the way.
After arriving here, I saw the village developing better and better, and my life became more promising day by day. If you have a good spirit and eat well, your health will also be good.
Just wait and see, there are definitely more than just you guys who are pregnant in our village. In the next few months, there will definitely be many pregnant women."
“I still find it incredible.”
Li was amazed, then glanced at Wen Lao Er cautiously. Speaking of which, she was also embarrassed at her age. She was old enough, and her daughters were all married.
But as far as she knew, many women under 40 could still get pregnant.
She recently moved to a new house and has a lot of expectations for life, so she and her second child are really affectionate and have returned home. What if she is really pregnant, and the child is smaller than her grandson... How embarrassing!
Thinking of this, Li felt dazed and uneasy.
Wen Laosi looked at his wife tenderly. To be honest, they had been together many times since his wife came back.
I don’t know whether my wife will be able to give birth to a child for him. I’m worried that if she does, will her body be able to survive?
For a moment, all the men and women in the Wen family had different thoughts, and they would look at their other half with blushing faces from time to time.
The old lady happily looked at the shy looks of a group of grown-up sons and daughters-in-law. Well, not bad, not bad. She, a lonely old woman in modern times, traveled through time here and accidentally became an ancestor with many children.
Just as Aunt Wen guessed, over the next ten days, more than a dozen families in the village announced their pregnancies.
This news was immediately spread to several nearby villages.
For a moment, many people were shocked again.
"About twenty women, all pregnant at once? Is the feng shui in Linji Village so good?"
"It's not that great. When we lived there before, we were lucky to have two or three pregnancies a year. I didn't expect that after a group of refugees fled the famine and moved in, there would be over 20 pregnant women all of a sudden."
"If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have moved away from that place."
Earlier, the indigenous villagers of Linji Village all regretted their decision after hearing the news.
Because the place was backward, close to the border, and had a lot of saline-alkali land, they clamored for the village headman to move out.
But the reality is that it’s not that their land is bad, but that they are not good enough.
Otherwise, how come after several generations of people living there, the village population has decreased instead of increased? And now, everyone living in the Linji Village gets pregnant as soon as they arrive.
"It seems that the people of Linji Village do have good feng shui. It's a good place to live, and there are good doctors there. I have to marry my niece to Linji Village."
Many people had this thought. Young men and women in Linji Village were already in high demand, and now they were being mentioned as having good feng shui for pregnancy.
This is even more serious.
Even though the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are still many matchmakers running into the village.
There were even more people on the Wen family's side. In the end, the old lady put up a sign at the door: The Wen family is not looking for marriages for the time being, please do not disturb.
With this sign, the Wen family no longer had to face matchmakers every time they went out. Seeing this, other villagers followed suit.
It's not that the adults don't want to find one, it's just that all the children are like, "Why get married? It'll stop me from making money. I'm still young, so I won't look for one for now."
Wen Xiushui originally said this to her family, but as it spread, the young people in the entire village learned it. Then, they put it into practice and applied it to their relatives.
The 26th day of the 12th lunar month is freezing cold, but it is also the time to slaughter pigs for the Chinese New Year.
The first New Year for the people of Linji Village began on this day.
There are hundreds of piglets raised in the village, and the largest ones are now ready to be slaughtered.
The smallest one weighed about 150 to 160 kilograms. According to the previous feeding method for the big ones, the so-called smallest one weighed 150 to 160 kilograms and could be slaughtered along with them.
But now, the villagers are reluctant to part with them. Big fat pigs are so good, but they have to raise them to 200 kilograms before they can be slaughtered.
The village committee finally decided that since the village had a large population, they would pull ten pigs from the farm and slaughter them for the New Year.
Several large families and the Wen family paid half of the money, and the other villagers only needed to pay the other half. Each person could cut five pounds of meat per head to take home and eat.
The people of Linji Village, who had worked hard for a year, were all in high spirits on this day.
Early in the morning, steaming hot water was boiled, and a fat pig was struggling and screaming, not wanting to be slaughtered. As the knife was sharpened, one shrill pig cry after another was heard.
The little kids covered their ears and dared not look, but they couldn't help but want to see how the pigs were slaughtered.
The adults grinned as they watched the gushing blood, wondering how it could be so red and beautiful. Even the fishy smell of scalding pig hair was a distinctly refreshing aroma.
After the hair was shaved off and the meat was cut into pieces, everyone swallowed their saliva, wondering whether to fry the meat or cook it with the vegetables and then put it back into the pot.
Or maybe cut some fatty pork into shreds and stir-fry?
Oh my, there are so many ways to eat pork. When you put a piece of fat meat in your mouth, you won’t feel dizzy and you will feel energetic.
The Wen family no longer saw patients from that day on, so they came here early in the morning to join in the fun.
Xiushui stood in the crowd and watched this lively scene, and thought of a letter written by someone.
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but there was a sense of sadness and pity in his words.
In the letter she replied some time ago, she wrote that if you have time, you can come to the village to celebrate the New Year.
It's definitely not a lonely New Year's Eve here. Will that person come after receiving the letter?
