In Xiaoyao Garden, under the warm sun of late autumn, Yiyi and Yanan boiled hot water to blanch the pickled pork strips, then strung them together with bamboo strips and hung them on the rack in the outer courtyard. It was a great location for ventilation and drying. A big wild boar, the meat strips were cut into hundreds of large and small strips. Even with Xiaojiu's help, it took half an hour to hang them up. The rows of meat strips drying in the sun were very satisfying to watch.

Xiaojiu then brought out a pot of pickled venison slices, which only needed to be spread out one by one in a fine-mesh bamboo sieve without leaving any gaps, so that it would be a whole piece when dried. For such a delicate job, Yiyi and Yanan had to sit on stools beside the table and arrange the slices of meat one by one in the bamboo sieve. While they were busy, Bailu, the pregnant mother who had woken up naturally, also appeared.

"Big sister, little sister, let me help too." Bai Lu walked towards them with great interest.

"No need...ah, what's wrong with you?" Before Yanan could finish her refusal, Bai Lu covered her mouth, bent over and hid aside to retch.

Yanan raised his meat-stained hands, but it was not easy for him to go over to help. He could only shout to Xiaojiu who was still moving the bamboo sieve, "Xiaojiu, wash your hands and carry your wife back to the backyard to rest. She has morning sickness."

Upon hearing this, Xiaojiu hurriedly put down what he was holding, ran to wash his hands, and then ran to Bailu.

"Madam, you..." Xiaojiu asked at a loss.

Bai Lu covered her mouth and nose, frowned and shook her head, not daring to speak, for fear that she would vomit if she opened her mouth.

Yanan was anxious and kept shouting, "Can you carry her? Take her back to rest. She may not be able to smell the smell of pickled meat."

"Oh, oh...I'll hold you!" Xiaojiu then carefully bent down and picked up Bailu, and walked towards the inner courtyard. Only when they were far away from the greasy smell did Bailu dare to breathe deeply.

"I'm fine, Xiaojiu, put me down. I'm going to bask in the sun in this yard."

Hearing the noise, Xiaoliu also came out of the side room. He walked over nervously and said, "Madam, are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll go get Laosi to come over."

"No need to go, I just can't stand the greasy smell, so I want to vomit!" Bai Lu quickly explained and stopped the people. "You guys go and do your work, I won't go out, I'll just take a walk in this yard!"

"Then Sixth Brother, you stay with her, I'll go move all the meat away!" Xiao Jiu said and turned around and ran out.

When Yiyi saw Bailu retching, she suddenly felt like she was infected, her stomach churning and she wanted to vomit. At this moment, she pursed her lips and tried to suppress it with a pale face, but she found that the nausea was getting stronger and stronger. Yiyi quickly ran a few steps to wash her hands, and she couldn't help retching a few times, and tears came out.

"Oh my God! Yiyi, you..." Yanan pointed at her in surprise.

"Maybe I felt like vomiting because I saw my second sister felt like vomiting. It's like I was infected." Yiyi wiped her tears and patted her chest and said.

Xiao Jiu, who came hurriedly, was also shocked when he heard this, "Little Auntie, you too..."

"Ugh..." Yiyi vomited again. She covered her mouth and walked out of the yard to get away from the smell that made her want to vomit.

Yanan felt that things were not as simple as she said. "Xiaojiu, have someone move all the meat to my house, I'll do it. Send Yiyi back to the hot spring valley, Huaheng happens to be there, let him take her pulse."

"Okay! Okay! I'll go call someone, don't worry, I'll come back and take you home later." Xiaojiu instantly felt that he had a great responsibility. He quickly caught up with Yiyi and escorted her home.

"Little aunt, please walk slowly. I will take you back!" Xiaojiu followed closely behind Yiyi to protect her.

After leaving Xiaoyao Garden, Yiyi felt relieved and recovered. Yiyi thought about the date of her good friend and had a vague answer in her mind. She didn't know if it was true or not, so she decided to go back first. "I'm fine, don't worry!"

"Well, don't worry, don't worry, I'm happy!" Xiaojiu, who was so anxious and at a loss just now, now has a silly smile on his face.

Seeing him grinning like that, Yiyi didn't want to say anything, after all, it wasn't confirmed yet. The two of them walked back to Xiaoyao Valley, and Yiyi was in a good mood and suggested that Xiaojiu try the hot spring seedling method to see if the seeds could germinate. And she repeatedly said that it was just a simple experiment, not a large number of them. If it failed, the cost of trial and error would not be high, and once it succeeded, the benefits would be immeasurable. This is the charm of scientific experiments! Xiaojiu's eyes were full of stars, and he said that he must try it. Usually he relied on God, but now he could rely on external forces, which was great! Xiaojiu, who has always been concerned about farming, understood it immediately and immediately thought that many crops could be done this way. "Auntie Huang, thank you so much. I'm going to open some experimental fields downstream of the hot spring valley. The temperature of the spring water there has dropped a lot. It's just warm water, so it should be suitable for breeding! Try planting some vegetables first. This will take a short time and have quick results."

"Great! Then the winter vegetables are up to you!" Yiyi was quite supportive.

"Haha...Okay! Watch me." Xiaojiu also patted his chest and made the promise.

When they arrived at Yanan's new house, they saw ten workers digging the foundation, with Hua Heng directing them. Xiaojiu happily ran over and pulled his fourth brother over to whisper. The fourth brother glanced at Yiyi to show that he understood. "Xiaojiu, go to the eldest brother's study first to inform him to come back. I saw that he went straight to the study when the meeting was over in the morning. I'll go over to check his pulse when he comes back."

Xiao Jiu: "Oh, OK, I'll send Little Aunt back first, and then arrange other things. Fourth Sister-in-law will also come back to your house later. She said to bring all the meat back to your house to dry and smoke it. My wife and Little Aunt can't stand the smell."

"Okay! I'll take care of things here and go home to help." Hua Heng said he understood.

Xiaojiu watched Yiyi enter her wooden house, and then closed the gate for her before turning around and leaving. Yiyi returned to the house and found that the house was quiet and no one was at home. She didn't want to lie on the bed, so she turned around and leaned on the rocking chair, looking at the scenery while rocking gently. She felt good about herself and there was nothing unusual. She thought to herself that she might be too sensitive at the time. Seeing others vomiting, she couldn't help but want to vomit, which was not uncommon! So she simply stopped thinking about it and got up to check the small vegetable garden in the yard to see if the vegetable seeds she had sown had sprouted. Yiyi squatted beside the vegetable patch and watched with great interest. Wow, there were already quite a few curved seedlings pushing out of the soil...

"Be good!..." The courtyard door was pushed open suddenly, and Ling Wuxin shouted for help as soon as he stepped in.

"Husband, I'm here!" Yiyi stood up and found that the man seemed to have lost his usual composure and was walking towards her eagerly!

"My dear, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ling Wuxin held her shoulders and observed her complexion with concern.

Yiyi smiled and shook her head, "Husband, I'm fine!"

"Ahem, um!" Hua Heng stood by the gate, watching his elder brother and his wife staring at each other. So he coughed unkindly to remind them of his presence, causing the loving couple to turn their heads and look at him at the same time.

"Hey, let's go take her pulse first!" Ling Wuxin supported Yiyi and walked back.

"Pfft...Haha! I'm fine, you don't have to be like this!" Yiyi couldn't help but burst out laughing. She really couldn't bear to see a man being so cautious.

"Naughty!..." Ling Wuxin laughed himself, but still helped the man to the living room and sat him down, then he called his brother in to take his pulse.

Hua Heng sat on the stool without hesitation, raised his fingers and pressed them on Yi Yi's wrist, closed his eyes and concentrated his breath, feeling the pulse, and then switched to the other hand to continue concentrating. After a while, Hua Heng stood up with a smile and bowed to his eldest brother, "Congratulations, eldest brother, sister-in-law is obviously pregnant."

The sudden surprise was like an exploding spark, making the couple's eyes light up instantly.

"Wow, I'm going to be a father! Haha, we have a baby." The huge surprise made Ling Wuxin suddenly turn into a nagging mother, "What preparations should I make? Wow, it's time to give me a copy of the instruction manual you compiled."

"I'll have someone send it to you!" Hua Heng admired his boss's loss of composure for a while. He also had to go back to help his wife, so he stood up and said goodbye!

For a moment, Ling Wuxin's mind was all about Yiyi. Don't touch this, I'll do it. Don't touch that, I'll do it. Yiyi laughed secretly. After experiencing the surprise of her second sister's pregnancy, it didn't seem so new when it was her turn. It might be because her sisters had already reminded her that this was a matter of time. So she wasn't particularly excited. Apart from the earlier reaction, she didn't feel anything unusual at all.

"Husband, just treat it normally. I feel good now! You have to adapt, don't be so nervous! There is still a long time." Yiyi saw that Ling Wuxin was still in an excited state, so she had to persuade him.

"Ha... This is my first time in my life, so I can't help but be excited!"

“Who doesn’t have a first time in life?”

"Okay! I'm not excited anymore, Guaiguai, thank you!" Ling Wuxin stopped walking around, but hugged Yiyi, thanking her with tears in his eyes! His Guaiguai changed his life. It was worth it to spend 30 years of being single in exchange for a different life!
