Although this year, Luo Fengtang cannot come back to spend time with his family and children.

But Yang Ruoqing still took up the challenge with a very optimistic and positive attitude.

In the twelfth lunar month, I traveled between the village and Qingshui Town, and went to the town with Cao Bamei, Zhao Liuer and others to buy new year goods.

In the village, mother-in-law Tuoba Xian and aunt Wang Cuilian are also busy preparing New Year dishes.

In such a fulfilling and lively atmosphere, this year passed happily.

After the New Year, a spring breeze blows. Winter is coming to an end and spring is here.

All things began to revive, and farming began to appear in the fields.

The plan for the year begins with spring, and the rapeseed and wheat that have been dormant all winter are nourished by the spring rain.

It emerged from the cracked earth and grew wildly.

By the time the rapeseed flowers wither and produce plump and mature pod shells, it is already April in the world.

The cuckoos hover overhead every day, chirping over and over again.

Farmers have their own special understanding of this. They say that the cuckoo is calling "cutting wheat and planting barley".

This is to urge farmers to harvest rapeseed and wheat quickly so that they can be ready to plant the rice.

This season's farming season has begun in front of and behind the village, with everyone working under the stars to harvest rapeseed and wheat.

Rapeseed seeds have to be sent to an oil mill to be ground into rapeseed oil, which is what the family relies on for cooking oil throughout the year.

Wheat is ground into wheat flour, noodles are rolled, dumplings are made, and steamed buns are steamed.

It can be used as a supplement to the staple food of rice to satisfy hunger during lean periods.

If there is rice and wheat flour at home, the whole family will not starve to death. This is the concept and sense of security of the people in this era.

Because we have goals and expectations, we are impulsive and motivated when we do things.

In Lao Yang's family, there is a person who is also full of impulsiveness and energy.

But it is not used for harvesting rapeseed and wheat, but for anticipating the arrival of a little life.

That's right, that person is Yang Huaming!

Xiaojuan is due to give birth in these few days. During these few days, tenants are cultivating the rapeseed and wheat on the several acres of land purchased by Sifang. They will just wait to collect some rent.

Mrs. Liu has been keeping up with the tenants these days, waiting to collect rent at any time, not missing a single grain.

Yang Huaming stayed by Xiaojuan's side from morning to night. Looking at Xiaojuan's swollen belly, Yang Huaming couldn't help but get excited again and again.

Mr. Tan went to see the goddess for divination in private, and she said that the baby was a son.

Therefore, Xiaojuan suddenly became the target of protection in the backyard of Lao Yang's family. Yang Hua stayed in Xiaojuan's house at night and took close care of her.

This violated the rules set by Old Yangtou, but for the sake of his grandson, Old Yangtou turned a blind eye.

No, this morning, Yang Ruoqing accompanied Sun to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, and happened to meet Zhao Liuer who came to pick vegetables.

Mrs. Sun then asked Zhao Liuer about Xiaojuan.

"I've been busy harvesting these past few days and haven't gone to the old house. How is Xiaojuan doing? Is she giving birth soon?" asked Sun.

Zhao Liuer said: "Oh, third aunt, if you don't ask, I can't help but ask you."

"Does this woman have to struggle several times before she can actually give birth to a child?" she asked.

Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment, unable to realize what Zhao Liuer wanted to know.

On the other hand, Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled.

"Sister-in-law, you are so cute in asking this," she said.

"Before a woman gives birth, she has to go through repeated labor pains for a long time, which is not as smooth as a hen laying eggs."

"Even if a hen lays an egg, it still has to coo for a while!" she said.

Zhao Liu'er blushed, grinned, and said: "No wonder, let me just say, Xiaojuan is so tormented. For several nights in a row, my fourth uncle came over to knock on my door in the middle of the night, asking Yongzhi to help.

Call Po Wen and ask me to go to the backyard to help accompany Xiaojuan and give her courage."

"What? You're about to give birth?" Ms. Sun understood and asked quickly.

Zhao Liuer said: "Every time we rush there in the middle of the night, Xiaojuan screams in pain from the bed, which makes me feel chilled all over."

"But every time I screamed for a while, the pain stopped. Not to mention that Wen Po was a little impatient when she ran, and even Yongzhi and I couldn't bear it anymore."

"I'm a little better. I take care of the housework at home. When Hong'er falls asleep, I can also take a nap secretly."

"But Yongzhi is miserable. He usually works in a restaurant, but he took time off during the busy farming season to come back to harvest wheat."

"I have to do field work all day during the day, and I can't sleep well at night. I have lost a lot of weight."

Zhao Liu'er said, shaking her head, with distress on her face.

"You are also looking haggard, and you have dark circles under your eyes." Yang Ruoqing said.

Zhao Liuer smiled bitterly, "I don't dare to say these things outside. People will say that I don't want to see my own family, and they will complain after letting me take care of them for a few nights."

"Third Aunt, Qing'er, I'm just going to chat with you. If Xiaojuan doesn't give birth to the child, Yongzhi and I will be tortured to death."

"Why is it so difficult to have a baby? It scares me so much that I don't dare to get pregnant or have a baby." Zhao Liuer said.

Mrs. Sun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to Zhao Liu'er: "Isn't that just how it is for women to give birth to children? It's true that you are affected, but don't scare yourself away from having a baby just because of this."

"Boldly conceive, boldly give birth, what woman doesn't give birth to a child!" said Sun.

Yang Ruoqing also said: "Xiaojuan is the first child. Generally, the first child will have some difficulties. Later, it will be easier. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is like a hen laying eggs."

"but……"

"But what, Qing'er?" Zhao Liu'er asked.

Yang Ruoqing said: "She has intermittent pain for several days, which needs to be taken seriously."

Uterine contractions, as well as false contractions, vary in length and frequency from person to person.

But if the amniotic water breaks and the baby still doesn't move, you should be cautious.

"Well, Xiaojuan is going to have a baby. Logically speaking, your fourth uncle has to go to your fourth aunt and your nurse. What should I do with you? You haven't given birth yet and have no experience in this area." Sun suddenly thought of this question.

, asked.

Zhao Liuer said: "Fourth uncle doesn't dare to ask for help because he's afraid of being scolded by her. It's Xiaojuan's idea not to ask for help from Fourth Aunt."

"Xiaojuan most likely knows that her identity is embarrassing and that she is a thorn in Fourth Aunt's side. How could she dare to ask Fourth Aunt to come take care of her, unless she is stupid." Zhao Liu'er said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Yes, I think so too, and Xiaojuan came out of the mansion. She has seen too many overt and covert fights between the real Mrs. Zhou and those concubines, so she will definitely not dare to let Mrs. Liu come and intervene."

"So, this Xiaojuan is very scheming!" Sun murmured.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Who among the people in the courtyard is not scheming? Can't act by looking at people's looks?"
