Chapter 385 Gathering
"You are pregnant, can you do it? The baby is very heavy."
"It's okay, I'm strong."
"Then be careful."
Zhao Xiaoxi took the child and said, "He's not shy at all. He wants anyone to hold him."
Zhao Sanniang pinched her sore arm and said, "He is not shy about strangers, but he recognizes people when he goes to bed at night. When his father comes back, he wants him to hold him during the day, but not at night."
"It's easier to take care of a well-behaved child, Aunt Zhao. Look, he's hugging my neck and lying on my shoulders. He's really adorable."
"When you have a child, you will understand how tiring it is to take care of a child. It is rare to coax him occasionally. I sometimes get annoyed to coax him every day."
I can't leave to do anything, I have to keep my children with me all the time.
"Aunt Zhao, he pushed my face, what did he want to do?"
She smiled and said, "He has to face outwards and look at people."
"Do you want to hold me like this again?" Zhao Xiaoxi asked him to face outward with his back against her. She held his belly with one hand and supported his legs with the other.
He was so happy facing outwards that he jumped up and down on his legs.
Ji Wenhe smiled and said: "Children's bodies are soft. They can grab their own feet and put them into their mouths."
Zhao Sanniang reluctantly took his foot out of her mouth: "When he goes to bed at night, he lies there holding his foot and chewing it, so I have to help him wash his feet every night. If he is not careful, his foot will end up in his mouth."
"Aunt Zhao, when will he be weaned?"
"Wait a few months. He has two teeth now, and he will bite randomly. You should feed him rice porridge every day to slowly wean them off. Don't let them break off all at once."
"I see. I thought it broke all of a sudden."
If a child has teeth and breaks the skin, it would be painful just to think about it.
Ji Wenhe shook his body, then lowered his head and continued to work on his work.
Zhao Xiaoxi asked: "Aunt Zhao, do you still have milk to feed him now?"
"I don't have much milk anymore. I have to feed him rice porridge, otherwise he won't be full with just milk." Zhao Sanniang took the child and said, "Some people have very little milk. The child has no milk to drink and can only drink goat milk."
"If you can't find goat milk, go find a pregnant woman, give her some money, and ask her to help feed the baby. It's not good to have less milk."
"Tsk, raising a child is not easy."
Her belly was slightly bulging, but she wasn't showing any signs of pregnancy. When she wore thicker clothes, you couldn't tell she was pregnant at all.
Shen Liang was worried, so he took her to see a doctor, who checked her pulse. The doctor said there was no serious problem, but she just needed to eat some good supplements.
Seeing that the straw was used up, Ji Wenhe said hello to the two men, went to the shed on the mountain, and carried down two piles of straw.
The shed was built very quickly and was completely completed on the third day.
The stove is built, and I will buy a big pot in the middle of the month.
Shen Liao's marriage was scheduled for the 16th, and she was still the one who cooked.
After coming back from their house, Ji Wenhe was looking forward to the arrival of the 23rd, when he would reunite with Shen Guyan and others.
And Shen Rongshan should be back soon, but I don’t know when he will return.
The days passed one by one, repeating themselves every day. The weather was getting colder and colder. I stayed in bed on snowy days and didn't want to get up.
It was not until the sunlight appeared outside and came in through the window that he yawned and got dressed.
I told them last night that there was no need to wake her up for dinner because it was too early to get up in the winter and people would be lazy and want to stay in bed.
When I opened the door, a chill came over me and I couldn't help but shrink my neck.
The rice is left in the pot. After washing up and eating, I clean up the main room. Today is the agreed day.
I went to town in the middle of the month and bought some fried peanuts and fried broad beans. I put the boxes on the table and brought in a few stools.
Everything is packed up and we are just waiting for them to come.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, the three of them came together.
After knocking on the door at the courtyard gate, Shen Suya shouted, "Sister-in-law, we are here."
"Here I come." Ji Wenhe ran over. "Hey, what a coincidence, you guys came here together."
Shen Guyan and Shen Zhiyan both smiled and nodded.
"Come in quickly and sit in the main room."
She turned and went into the kitchen, holding a clay pot filled with freshly boiled hot water, and picked up four bowls.
"Please sit down, don't stand. Why are you being so polite to me? There are some fried snacks in the box. Eat them."
"We brought some too." Shen Guyan took out a bag of fried broad beans. "Brother Dali went to town to buy them a few days ago. I asked him to buy some more."
Shen Zhiyan opened the paper bag she brought with her: "I bought some dried dates, not many, three for each of us."
"And me, my sister-in-law gave me some fried peanuts, and I asked someone to go to town to get some. Just now, my mother knew I was coming over, so she asked me to bring more fried peanuts."
Shen Suya opened the cloth bag that she usually used to hold black noodles, and now she used it to hold peanuts.
Ji Wenhe closed the door. There was a window in the room, so it wouldn't be dark. It would be warmer with the door closed.
He poured half a bowl of hot water for each person and said, "Come on, bring whatever you want. I bought a lot, all in the box."
Shen Guyan smiled and said, "How can I come here empty-handed? Sister-in-law, hasn't Brother Rongshan come back yet?"
"No, he should be back in two days. Did Dali come with you, or did you come by yourself?"
"I came here by myself. He stayed at home to take care of the kids. We came here together on a donkey cart from the village. I can relax for a day."
She looked at Shen Zhiyan: "Zhiyan, I see that you look much better. It seems that you are living well in your husband's family."
I met her in town before. She didn't look as good as she does now, and her whole face was rosy.
Shen Suya sat next to her and nudged her gently with her arm: "Hey, are you pregnant? Didn't you say you wanted to have another child?"
She smiled and shook her head: "I'm not pregnant yet, but there is something I want to tell you, please don't tell anyone."
The three nodded.
"By the way." Ji Wenhe asked, "Has your brother's problem been resolved?"
"No, Dad still asked me to find a way and asked me to take out three taels of silver."
"Three taels of silver? Why do I ask you to take three taels of silver?" Shen Suya turned her head and looked at her, "You are not going to find a marriage for your brother, are you?"
Shen Guyan snorted: "I think it's probably true. You can't even live a good life, and you still want you to take out three taels of silver. Why didn't he say he would take out three taels of silver for you?"
"Guyan, don't forget that you have two younger brothers. I think your family will ask you for money when the time comes."
Their two families are so similar that the same thing will definitely happen.
"I won't give it to them even if they ask me. I have no money anyway. I only have a life. If they want it, they can take it. If they have the guts, they can kill me."
Ji Wenhe took a broad bean and stuffed it into her mouth: "Don't be so desperate, you still have Dali and the child."
With Liu Dali protecting and supporting her, her personality became much stronger.
Shen Zhiyan smiled and said, "Actually, I can take out three taels of silver now, but I haven't decided whether to give it to Dad. I'm afraid that after he takes the three taels, he will ask me for money again."
The three of them looked at her, waiting for her next words.
