"Brother Dayong, I'm thirsty." Dried fruits are delicious, but eating too much will make you thirsty easily. Lin Qin pursed his lips and blinked at Zhang Dayong.

Zhang Dayong couldn't stand Lin Qin's staring eyes. Without saying a word, he went to the kitchen and poured a bowl of hot water. Worried that it would burn Lin Qin, he took an extra bowl and poured the water back and forth from both sides.

"Here, take a small sip and try to see if it's still hot. If it's hot, I'll blow it on." Zhang Dayong handed the bowl to Lin Qin's mouth and motioned for him to take a sip and give it a try.

Lin Qin took a slight sip and found that although it was a bit hot to the mouth, it was acceptable, so he took the bowl and drank several sips delicately.

"Aren't you going to eat???" Zhang Dayong saw that Lin Qin stopped eating after drinking water, and put dried fruits in a bag.

"How can I eat them all in one day? What if I eat too much dried fruit and can't eat at night?" Lin Qin covered his mouth and said with a smile.

Zhang Dayong thinks about it. Dried fruits are only eaten once in a while when he is hungry, but he still needs to eat three meals a day.

"I will go to the mountains to see if there are any pheasants in a while. These pheasants are more nourishing than domestic ones, and we don't raise chickens. If we want to eat them, we have to buy them from other people's homes," Zhang Dayong said.

Because the doctor had previously told Lin Qin to take good care of his body, Lin Qin didn't say anything. He just told Zhang Dayong to be careful when going up the mountain.

There was no reaction at all in the past few months, but since it was confirmed that I was pregnant, I didn't know if it was because of my heart, but all kinds of reactions came. Zhang Dayong walked on the front foot, and Lin Qin was so sleepy that he crawled onto the bed to rest.

After Zhang Dayong went up the mountain, he first checked a few traps and found that there was no prey. He thought that if there was still no prey next time, he would change the traps. Then he went to search in several places where there were many pheasants in the past, but he didn't know if it was because of the cold weather that the pheasants hid well. It took Zhang Dayong a lot of effort to find a few pheasants in a cave.

Zhang Dayong was naturally overjoyed. With a few arrows, the pheasants fell to the ground. After catching the pheasant, Zhang Dayong did not stay on the mountain for long. After all, the work in the fields was still waiting for him to go back to do it.

After returning home, Zhang Dayong guessed that Lin Qin must have gone back to the bedroom to rest when he didn't see him in the main room. He gently opened the bedroom door and saw Lin Qin sleeping soundly covered with a quilt. Zhang Dayong didn't bother him and closed the door quietly.

Since the weather was cold, there was no need to worry about the chickens spoiling if left for a long time, so Zhang Dayong only stripped off one pheasant and prepared it for Lin Qin to stew, while the other ones were hung directly under the eaves.

Zhang Dayong could only cook until it was cooked. It was too late to make soup when Lin Qin got up, so Zhang Dayong could only use the stupidest method to make soup. He first took out a small casserole and put the whole chicken in it. He didn't add too much seasoning, just the most basic salt and ginger to remove the fishy smell, and nothing else was added. Finally, pour some water to cover the chicken completely, then put the casserole on the stove and simmer slowly over low heat.

I was worried that there wouldn't be enough firewood in the stove when I went to the fields, so I specially picked out a few thick, long firewood and threw them in. After doing all this, Zhang Dayong directly picked up the bucket and walked into the fields without resting.

Lin Qin slept for nearly two hours before waking up. He was still a little dazed when he woke up, so Lin Qin did not get out of bed immediately but quietly sat on the bedside. He didn't start to put on clothes until he woke up completely. Clothes out of bed.

As soon as he left the bedroom, Lin Qin smelled a scent. Following the scent, he walked into the kitchen and saw a casserole on the stove with something stewed in it. When he opened it, it turned out to be a whole chicken.

Lin Qin took the chopsticks on the side and poked it and found that the chicken was already cooked. Then he took a spoon and drank a spoonful of soup. He smacked his mouth and there was only salt in the soup, but because of this, the original umami flavor of the chicken was fully reflected. When it came out, it was a bit bland but it suited Lin Qin's current appetite.

Lin Qin just woke up and was a little hungry. He couldn't help but drink a bowl of soup and eat a chicken drumstick.

What Zhang Dayong saw when he came back was this scene. A slender boy squatted beside the stove with a small bowl and drank the soup happily, with a happy smile on his face. Zhang Dayong couldn't help but smile. A smile.

"Why don't you sit at the table and drink? Aren't you tired from squatting?" Zhang Dayong said as he pulled Lin Qin up from the ground.

Lin Qin didn't expect that Zhang Dayong would see him eating. His face suddenly turned red and he stammered, "I...I was hungry after I woke up...and when I saw...there was soup, I couldn't help but drink a bowl." ."

"I've stewed it just for you to drink. Don't just drink a bowl or even drink all the pot, I won't say anything to you." Zhang Dayong saw Lin Qin getting anxious, and rubbed his head in a funny way, smiling. said.

Lin Qin naturally knew that he was just a little embarrassed when someone caught him stealing something.

Although Lin Qin was the chef for dinner, it was Zhang Dayong who washed and cut the dishes, and even served the plates.

At the dinner table, Lin Qin suddenly thought of something while eating. He stopped his chopsticks and said, "I won't go to Zaizai's full moon party. I'll prepare a generous gift. You can help me deliver it when the time comes. Please explain it to me." Second brother and Brother Mo should not blame me."

After Lin Erzhu and Li Mo's little boy was born, Li Mo gave him the nickname Zaizai. Before, many people came when the little boy was one month old. Zaizai There will only be more people coming to the full moon banquet. After all, everyone has to come because of the title of grandson of the village chief.

"Don't worry, I will explain to my second brother and the others. They will definitely not blame you." Zhang Dayong had a hunch that Lin Qin would not be allowed to step out of the house before the child was born. Only now did Zhang Dayong realize that the impact of that incident on Lin Qin was much more serious than he imagined.

Since becoming pregnant, Lin Qin's life has become more and more leisurely. In addition to cooking and sweeping the floor every day, Zhang Dayong even does the laundry. And in order to replenish Lin Qin's health, Zhang Dayong would either stew a chicken or a fish for him every day. Worried that Lin Qin would get tired of it, Zhang Dayong would change the stew every day. Fortunately, Lin Qin would eat a piece of it every time. Bare.

"The Lin family will definitely be very busy tomorrow when Zaizai is full moon. I will go over to help as soon as I get up. You don't have to get up specially to make breakfast for me tomorrow. You can sleep until you wake up naturally. Don't eat casually at noon just because I'm not at home. Make yourself more delicious food." Zhang Dayong hugged Lin Qin and warned him carefully.

Lin Qin closed his eyes and leaned in Zhang Dayong's arms. He seemed to be asleep, but in fact he remembered every word Zhang Dayong said in his heart and said, "I know, remember to explain it to me tomorrow."

"Don't worry." Zhang Dayong He kissed Lin Qin on the forehead and responded.

When Zhang Dayong woke up, Lin Qin was sleeping soundly in his arms. He was worried that he would wake up Lin Qin. Whether he was putting Lin Qin on the bed or getting up and out of bed, Zhang Dayong's movements were as gentle as possible. , as slow as it can be.

But even so, when Zhang Dayong got up and got dressed and prepared to go out, Lin Qin still frowned and moved, his hands still stroking the bed as if looking for Zhang Dayong's embrace.

Zhang Dayong's heart suddenly softened when he saw this scene. He sat on the edge of the bed and patted Lin Qin's back gently. After Lin Qin fell asleep again, he quietly left the bedroom.

When Zhang Dayong arrived at Lin's house with the gifts he had prepared, everyone except Li Mo was already busy. Those who prepare the table prepare the table, those who prepare the vegetables for lunch, in short, no one is free.

"Dayong is here, come here and help move this table to the yard." After Lin Han saw Zhang Dayong, he politely asked him to come over and help. Lin Han had borrowed the table for today's dinner from someone in advance, so he could just set it up on the same day.

Zhang Dayong responded, handed the pheasant and a piece of fine cotton cloth to Bai Xiuniang beside him, and then went over to help Lin Han move the table.

"Dayong, where's Brother Qin? Is he in the back???" Lin Han wiped the sweat from his forehead after moving the table, and finally realized that Zhang Dayong came alone, and asked a little strangely.

"Brother Qin is staying at home. He won't come over today." Zhang Dayong said.

Lin Han's face drooped when he heard this, and said, "Today is his nephew's full moon party, how can he not come as an uncle? It's outrageous." "It's not that

Brother Qin doesn't want to come, he's pregnant. The doctor said The previous miscarriage made him a little weak, and it would take him four months to stabilize the fetus, so I asked him to stay at home to have the fetus." Zhang Dayong directly placed all the blame for Lin Qin's absence today on himself.

If it was Lin Qin who didn't want to come, even if they knew that Lin Qin was due to physical reasons, Lin Han and others would still murmur a few words. But Zhang Dayong's words were different. After all, Zhang Dayong's surname was Zhang, not Lin. If Lin Han really forced Lin Qin to come over and something happened, Zhang Dayong would definitely be blamed, and Lin Han would have no way to compensate.

But after all, Lin Han was Lin Qin's biological father. When he found out that Lin Qin couldn't come over because he was pregnant, his expression immediately brightened and he said with a smile, "I'm pregnant, it's a good thing, this is a great thing, what?" The person who was found out at the time did not come to inform us. After the banquet, I asked the boss to take some small clothes worn by Huzi and take them back and let Brother Qin put them under the pillow." Put the children under the pillow

. It is an old custom to wear clothes that are worn by boys. It is said that putting boys' clothes on them will attract boys. Zhang Dayong thinks this is completely nonsense, but Zhang Dayong will not refuse Lin Han's kindness.

Lin Dazhu's two brothers and Bai Xiuniang knew that Lin Qin was pregnant, and they were also happy for him. Lin Erzhu was not angry that Lin Qin couldn't come over, and just said that Lin Qin could have peace of mind to raise the baby. Worried that Li Mo would misunderstand, Lin Erzhu personally went into the bedroom and explained to Li Mo, not to mention how Li Mo was happy for Lin Qin.

Village Chief Li and Mr. Li were the first ones to come as maternal relatives, but because they were guests, they did not help. Instead, they sat in the main room and played with the children.

After Zhang Dayong helped prepare everything for the banquet, he walked to the main room to find Village Chief Li and Mr. Li and said, "Uncle, uncle, I have something to ask you for help." "If you need anything,

Yongzi, just tell me, uncle." Anyone who can help will definitely help." Zhang Dayong has a strong temper and rarely asks for help, so Village Chief Li naturally cannot refuse.

Zhang Dayong said with some embarrassment, "That's it. You all know that brother Qin is pregnant with Qin again. Ever since I found out that he was pregnant, I found that he didn't dare to go out. Every time I asked to take him He resisted going out for a walk. At first I thought he was tired and didn't want to move, but later I realized that it wasn't that he didn't want to move, but that he didn't dare to go out because he was afraid that something like last time would happen again. But this It's not a problem to not go out all the time, so I was wondering if you have any ideas because of your experience."

After coming to Lin's house, Village Chief Li and Mr. Li learned about Lin Qin's pregnancy from Lin Erzhu, and they were very happy for Lin Qin. But now after listening to Zhang Dayong's words, the two of them understood the seriousness of the matter and looked at each other solemnly.

"Yongzi, I don't have any good ideas at the moment. Do you think this will work? I'll help you think about it after Zaizai's full moon party." Village Chief Li pondered for a while and said.

"Okay, sorry to bother you, uncle." Zhang Dayong naturally knew that today's full moon banquet was the most important, and Lin Qin was unwilling to go out and had other problems, so it would be a day or two.

"Why are you so polite to Uncle He? Don't worry, Uncle will help you find a solution." Village Chief Li patted Zhang Dayong on the shoulder and said.
