The Little Widower (farming)

68

Chen Qing was happy but worried at the same time: "Then he has been blacksmithing before, so it won't have any impact on the child, right?"

The doctor glanced at Li Xin: "Hey, you can still blacksmith."

Li Xinting He straightened his back and said, "What's wrong?"

"It's fine, it's fine, the pulse is strong, there's no problem." The doctor was surprised by Li Xin's good physique.

"Do I need to take some anti-fetal medicine?" Chen Qing asked again, as if he was the child's other father.

"It's the medicine that contains three parts of the poison." The doctor twirled his beard, "He is in very good health and the child is also very well. Don't worry too much."

Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Li Xin then asked: "Then what else can I do? Do you want to make iron?"

The doctor was stunned for a moment: "It depends on you. Pregnancy is not a catastrophe. How can you feel comfortable?"

He thought Aunt Sun was his mother-in-law, and they didn't look like poor people in their clothes, so he warned again. : "Don't take too much supplements when you're pregnant. He's a twin. If you take too much supplements, be careful about the danger during delivery."

The three of them listened to the doctor's instructions for a long time. After paying the consultation fee, they realized that it was already dark. Aunt Sun said that Li Xinhuai It is taboo to walk at night while pregnant, so I might as well stay in town for one night before leaving.

When they arrived at the inn, Li Xin was a little confused. Aunt Sun had never stayed in an inn before, and Chen Qing was the only one who had stayed in an inn and was still awake. When he walked into the inn, Chen Qing did countless psychological things for himself. Prepare, and praise yourself in your heart that you can do it well.

"I want a three-person room."

The shopkeeper nodded: "For the herringbone room, go to the end of the second floor. You have to pay an extra five cents to feed the cows and horses, a total of one hundred and fifty-five cents. There is an unlimited supply of hot water and rice. The money is calculated separately."

Chen Qing took out one hundred and fifty-five cents from his wallet and remembered that they haven't eaten anything yet. He and Aunt Sun can do without, but Li Xin can't. He was very tired some time ago. I get hungry easily, and it's even worse if I don't eat right now.

Aunt Sun accompanied Li Xin upstairs to rest, while Chen Qing went out to buy him food.

It was getting dark now, and there was nothing to eat. Chen Qing ran to the shop that sold meat buns. He was as lucky as Zhou Yuan last time and bought the last basket of meat buns.

The meat buns in the town are thin-skinned and stuffed with bamboo shoots. Chen Qing and Aunt Sun ate one each, and Li Xin ate the rest.

After eating, he began to feel sleepy. Seeing that it was getting late, he turned off and rested.

When the room was dark, Chen Qing turned sideways and looked at Li Xin on the other side of the bed. He seemed not to be affected by the pregnancy at all, and was snoring now.

Chen Qing couldn't imagine how Li Xin would look after her children in the future. He felt that Li Xin had the nature of a child now, and there were two of them at once. He didn't know how he would be in trouble in the days to come.

After thinking about it, Chen Qing also fell asleep.

On the other side, Zhou Yuan, who had been away from home for almost three months, finally arrived home before midnight, taking advantage of the moonlight.

There was no light in the room. Zhou Yuan smiled. Chen Qing should be sleeping at this time. He entered the room quietly, but when he got closer, he found that there was no one on the bed.

Zhou Yuan's mind was a little confused for a while, but when he turned around and thought, Chen Qing might be sleeping with Aunt Sun. He put down his luggage and wanted to wash himself and go to sleep, but he really missed Chen Qing. Just get up and go to the side.

After he climbed over the wall and entered, he saw that the door was not locked from the inside. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. When he walked into the room, there was no one on the bed.

He turned around and knocked on Aunt Sun's door. When no one responded, he opened the door and found that Aunt Sun was not at home either.

He ran home and found that the cows and carts at home were not there. He thought that they might have gone out, but he was still a little panicked. It must be no small thing to let them go out at night.

Zhou Yuan walked around the yard. He, who was always strategizing, found himself in a rare situation of being at a loss. He stayed up all night from midnight until dawn.

After daybreak, Zhou Yuan walked to the entrance of the village. People at the entrance of the village had just gotten up and were washing in the yard.

Zhou Yuan asked, and the sister-in-law said: "They hitched the ox cart to the town yesterday afternoon, and Li Xin was with them. I didn't see anything wrong, but something must have happened." Zhou Yuan

listened . After listening to her words, he still chose to go to the town, taking the main road so as not to miss them.

After staying in the town for one night, they simply went to the academy to pick up Qi Shuning so that they could tell him about this good thing.

It was not yet time for school to finish, so the three of them simply took a break from the busy work and took a stroll around the town. When they walked to Buzhuang, Chen Qing looked at Li Xin: "Do you want to learn female red now? You can make it for your children in the future. I have to make two copies of the clothes."

Li Xin glanced at her hands and said, "Look, my hands can only hold a hammer, but I can't hold an embroidery needle. Let Qi Shuning learn."

Aunt Sun laughed at him. Li Xin still bought a lot of soft cotton cloth, and when he learned how to sew, he would probably have a baby.

Seeing that it was almost time, they went to the entrance of the academy together. At this moment, some students were already walking out. Their bullock carts were parked aside, and soon Qi Shuning came to them.

"Xinxin!" He was stunned again when he saw Aunt Sun and Chen Qing next to him, "What, what's wrong?"

Why did so many people suddenly come to pick him up.

Then his eyes fell back on Li Xin. Qi Shuning choked for a moment. He hadn't seen her for a month, but he felt that Li Xin had become so much stronger.

It was not convenient for Chen Qing and Aunt Sun to talk about the matters between the two of them, so Li Xin had to tell Qi Shuning herself.

Chen Qing was still driving the car, with Li Xin and Qi Shuning sitting in the back.

Chen Qing kept looking back, wondering why Li Xin didn't say anything. Aunt Sun thought he was funny and patted his hand gently.

Li Xin then said slowly: "We just went to see the doctor. The doctor said that there are two things growing in my stomach."

Qi Shuning stood up from the bullock cart in fright, and the wheel happened to hit a stone and shook it. Qi Shuning almost fell off the car, and Li Xin quickly caught him. Chen Qing was shocked. He was afraid that Qi Shuning would crush Li Xin, so he pulled his legs and pulled him back. Finally, Qi Shuning pulled the cart by himself. Finally sat down.

"Please be more steady, it's scary." Li Xin disliked him a little, "Sit down and listen to me."

Qi Shuning's face was very anxious: "What's wrong? Is it serious? How about we go find Dr. Yu? He I will definitely cure you."

Qi Shuning squeezed his hands, knowing that there must be something wrong with Li Xin suddenly becoming so fat.

Li Xin took his hand and placed it on her abdomen: "The doctor saw that there are two children in the belly."

Qi Shuning opened his eyes wide: "What?"

"You are going to be a father, so be more careful. ." Li Xin rolled her eyes at him.

Qi Shuning held Li Xin's hand for a while, and wanted to touch his belly for a while. He looked at Li Xin, and was a little unsure: "I, what should I do?"

Aunt Sun could see his confusion, and then gave him some advice. : "Write a letter first to ask your parents to come back."

Qi Shuning nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll write it when I get back."

"If you don't go to school in the future, take more care of him, but don't be too restrained. "

Qi Shuning was about to take a piece of paper and write it down, but he was still afraid that he had not done enough. Li Xin quickly pulled him: "Stop, stop, the doctor said, everything is as usual now, don't be stupid."

On the way back, Qi Shuning held up his arms . Looking at Li Xin, he hugged Li Xin even if there was a slight bump.

Halfway through, Chen Qing suddenly tightened the reins because he saw a familiar figure in the distance.

"Zhou Yuan?"

Zhou Yuan also saw them and ran forward quickly. Regardless of their looks, he took Chen Qing off the bullock cart and said, "Where did you go last night? When I came home, you guys Not even here."

Chen Qing was also very happy. He hugged Zhou Yuan's neck tightly: "I came to town for something, and it was too late, so I stayed in town for one night. When did you come back? Are you coming to see us later?"

"Yes."

Concerned that this was still on the road, Chen Qing pushed Zhou Yuan's shoulder and asked him to let go: "Let's go back first."

Zhou Yuan just followed . Aunt Sun greeted Li Xin, and he was stunned when he saw Li Xin. He didn't expect him to be so fat.

Zhou Yuan sat in Chen Qing's seat to catch the bus and was a little worried. He asked Li Xin: "Is everything okay? What did you do in town yesterday?"

Before Li Xin could say anything, Qi Shuning spoke first: "Brother! Xinxin is pregnant, or... Twins!"

Zhou Yuan was also stunned, but it didn't last long before he smiled and slapped Qi Shuning on the shoulder: "Then you have to shoulder the responsibility of being a father again." "

I know them

. Li Xin and Qi Shuning were sent home first. Qi Shuning couldn't wait to write a letter to Li Tiejiang and Zhang Yin. Zhou Yuan told him to send the letter to the Zhenwei branch in the town and someone would deliver it.

Back home, they couldn't take any time off. The wheat in the field hadn't been harvested yet, so they cleaned up and went to the field. When Chen Qing was changing clothes, he said to Zhou Yuan: "You should have a rest at home. You must have done it last night." I haven't slept yet."

"Let me go to work with you." Zhou Yuan hugged him from behind and held him in his arms.

"You have a good rest. We don't have much left. Can you cook for us? And boil hot water." Chen Qing turned around and kissed his cheek. "When I come back, I have something else to tell you. "

Zhou Yuan could only give up and watch Chen Qing carrying the sickle and going to the fields with Aunt Sun.

Chen Qing walked to the door and waved to Zhou Yuan. In fact, the biggest reason why he was not allowed to go was that Zhou Yuan did not know how to do farm work and was afraid that he would cut his hand.

This is the last piece of land left in their family. After cutting it, it is left to dry. After drying, it is crushed with stone mills to get wheat.

The sun has been good these days, so it should be dry in three or four days.

After Chen Qing and the others had finished cutting the last crop of wheat, they saw Village Chief Jiang and his people looking around at the fields in the village near the Luo River, presumably planning a route to divert water into the fields.

Chen Qing couldn't help but worry. If Zhou Yuan's fields turned into paddy fields, and if the paddy fields couldn't grow rice, it would take a long time for the fields to recover. What would Zhang Xu's family do?

"Don't worry, Qing." Aunt Sun knew that Chen Qing was soft-hearted, "I always thought it wouldn't be that difficult."

When he got home, Zhou Yuan had already boiled hot water for him and moved the water to the bathtub for him. Qing didn't think much, took off his clothes and went to take a bath in the tub. Farm work has its own difficulties. Corn leaves sting the hands and face, and cutting wheat is dirty. There is dirt in the mouth and nose, and there is black dust in the saliva and nose. .

Chen Qing took a long, long bath, and he was a little dizzy at the end. Zhou Yuan waited for him to come out for a long time, then went to see him, and found that Chen Qing was almost asleep.

So he picked him up, wiped the water off his body, put him on the bed, and slowly wiped his hair.

Chen Qing leaned on Zhou Yuan's body and slept soundly.

It was already afternoon when he woke up, and the food on the table was still a little warm. Chen Qing ate it hungrily without caring about anything else.

Zhou Yuan came back from outside and sat next to him: "I already know what happened in the village. Village Chief Jiang can do some practical things."

Chen Qing swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth: "Do you think it is a good thing?"

Zhou Yuan nodded: "I was wondering before that Luohe Village is adjacent to Luohe River and does not grow rice. Firstly, there is no one to do it, and secondly, there is no experience. The two old leaders look like they are experienced at first sight, so don't worry."

Chen Qing then put it down. Heart, he always trusts Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan saw that he was full, so he picked him up and put him on his lap, burying his head on his shoulder: "A Qing."

"What's wrong?"

He stretched his hand to Chen Qing's belly Above: "It seems I have to work harder."

Chen Qing felt the danger and said, "You said let nature take its course."

"Okay." Zhou Yuan kissed Chen Qing on the face, "Wait a minute Once the rice is planted, I will take you back to your hometown."

Chen Qing raised his eyes and said,

"Maybe it's because our affairs haven't been settled yet, so our children don't think it's time yet." Zhou Yuan held his hand. .

He wanted to go to the place where Chen Qing was born, find those who had bullied him, and bring back his closest relatives.
