Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

Since Yu Li started working, she has been busy with work and she is so tired on Sundays that she just wants to sleep and rest. She can no longer visit her close elders as often as she did when she was a housewife.

Recently, because Yu's and Ren's homes are closer to the courtyard, they can stop by after get off work, but Sha Zhu's master's home is a bit far away, and I haven't been to the master's home for a long time. Today is the weekend, and Yu Shui didn't go out to play with classmates, so Sha Zhu took Yu Li and He Yu Shui to the master's home and had lunch.

The master's wife opened the door and was very happy to see the three people from the He family.

The master's wife said that the master had gone out early in the morning. It seemed that there were many foreign guests coming to Kyoto these days. They all wanted to try the Shandong cuisine of Fengze Garden. Master Sun and other people in Fengze Garden were very busy every day.

As the master's wife spoke, she kept taking out various snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts, broad beans, and sachima for Yu Li and Yu Shui to eat.

Sha Zhu said, "I know. Master originally wanted me to go there too, but due to some security issues, it would take a few days before I could be allowed to go there to help. Fortunately, I didn't go, otherwise I wouldn't have had time to see you."

"How come you are so talkative now? When I was an apprentice, I couldn't even fart for a long time."

"My brother is the most powerful now. He won my sister-in-law over by telling her two stories during a blind date."

Yu Li picked up a piece of sachima and stuffed it into Yu Shui’s mouth, saying, “Eat yours, it doesn’t matter what you take.”

Yushui was laughing so hard that he held the sachima and bit it like a little mouse, and from time to time he would pinch a broad bean and put it in his mouth.

"I haven't been here since I started working, mainly because I'm not familiar with the new job and I'm exhausted. I also have to clean the house on Sundays, and I can't just take care of other people's cleanliness while I make my own house a mess. I just sorted out my things recently, and today I took some time off to come over to your place. I know you have delicious food, so we came here to have a feast." Yu Li said as she peeled peanuts and melon seeds, and handed the melon seeds to the teacher's wife.

"Come, come anytime you want to eat something delicious, just like before. You don't need to bring Zhuzi and Yushui with you. We don't have much else in our house, but we eat a lot. Your master is a great chef. I heard from your master that a thousand-person meeting was held a few months ago. In addition, the disasters seem to have eased a lot recently, and the supply of materials is sufficient. It seems that life will get better day by day, and we won't be hungry every day like before."

After the master's wife ate a few melon seeds, she told Yu Li to peel and eat them herself, saying that her teeth were not good and she could not eat them, so there was no need to give them to her.

Yu Li kept peeling the fruits without stopping. She peeled a large handful and handed some to Sha Zhu, then put them on the table and ate them with rain water.

The master's wife looked at Yu Li's performance and felt very relieved that they had a harmonious relationship as sister-in-law. It would be great if Sha Zhu's mother was still alive.

Yu Li saw that the master's wife's eyes were a little moist, and thought that the master's wife was missing her daughter, so she comforted her: "Master's wife, if you miss my senior sisters, just ask them to come back, or you can go to see them. If it is not convenient for you to go by yourself, we will accompany you there in the afternoon."

The master's wife took Yu Li's hand and stroked it gently, "Good child, I'm not missing my daughters. They just came here a while ago. I saw that you two sisters-in-law were getting along well, and I thought of Zhuzi's mother. Poor woman, she saw Zhuzi getting married and didn't enjoy a single day of happiness. Maybe it was because she was blessing Zhuzi and Yushui in heaven that a good girl like you could marry into the He family."

"No, I'm not that good. If you were praising me, I would not know my last name."

"Sister-in-law, what's your last name?" Yu Shui asked mischievously.

"My last name is He."

"Yes, He Yushili, it seems that Master's wife and aunt haven't praised you enough. You still know your last name."

"You devilish girl." The master's wife tapped the raindrops, "What else can I say to praise your sister-in-law so much that she doesn't know her last name."

"How would I know? I just know that sachima is delicious." After saying this, Yu Shui took a big bite.

"Don't bother with her, she's a crazy girl. She behaves like a disrespectful child all day long. It's all because of her sister-in-law." Sha Zhu interrupted, but in return Yu Shui stuck out her tongue and made a face.

"Forget it, you guys can chat, I'll go cook. People should still do what they are good at."

Sha Zhu made four dishes: fried bacon with dried radish, sweet and sour lotus root, fungus and yam, and dried shrimp and winter melon.

The three of them sat down around the Master's wife and began to eat.

Yu Shui picked up a piece of bacon and chewed it, "Brother, this meat is really chewy and delicious."

"Little greedy cat, of course the meat is delicious."

"Yushui, this isn't domestic pork. This bacon is made from wild boar meat that your brother sent over a few days ago. Your uncle said that wild boars move a lot and their meat is firmer than domestic pigs, so bacon made from wild boars is chewier. If you like it, take some with you when you go back."

"Okay, okay, my brother stewed all the wild boar meat at home and didn't make it into bacon. I didn't expect that bacon would be so delicious. Sister-in-law, you should try it." After saying that, Yu Shui picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and gave it to Yu Li.

Yu Li picked up a piece of meat and was about to put it in her mouth when she felt her stomach twitch and twitch. "Hurry, urry," Yu Li quickly covered her mouth, stood up, and ran out the door.

Sha Zhu ran over and patted and massaged Yu Li's back as she bent over. Yu Shui also hurriedly brought a glass of boiled water and stood by to prepare. The master's wife also watched nervously.

Yu Li bent over and vomited for a long time, only spitting out a little acid, nothing else. Yu Shui handed her a cup to rinse her mouth, and then Sha Zhu asked her distressedly if she felt better?

Yu Li nodded, indicating that she was much better. Everyone sat down at the table again and prepared to start eating again. Yu Li picked up the piece of meat again, and the same feeling came over her again. She covered her mouth, stood up, and ran out the door. Sha Zhu also ran over to pat her back, and Yu Shui brought water again. But the master's wife did not move this time. Not only did she not move, but she also showed a happy expression on her face.

The three of them returned to the table again. The master's wife asked Sha Zhu to take away the chopsticks and bowl that Yu Li had just used and replace them with a new pair. She also picked up a piece of lotus root for Yu Li, and Yu Li put it in her mouth and ate it calmly.

"Could it be that my sister-in-law's stomach doesn't want to digest wild boar meat? But it wasn't like this before."

"Yes, Yu Li used to eat meat just fine." Sha Zhu was also wondering.

When Yu Li saw the joy on her master's wife's face and the sweet and sour lotus root she had just picked up for herself, she figured out the key and became happy. She looked at Sha Zhu and smiled happily.

Shazhu was even more puzzled. He had just vomited, so why was he laughing just because he could eat a lotus root? Was there any need to be so happy?

Seeing her sister-in-law smiling sweetly at her brother, Yu Shui slowly understood and shouted, "I'm going to be an aunt, I'm going to be an aunt."

"What? You want to become a nun? You want to leave the world as a monk? Are you out of your mind?" Sha Zhu scolded Yu Shui angrily.

"Zhu Zi, you are going to be a father." The master's wife held his forehead and reminded the confused Zhu Zi.

"Dad." Sha Zhu looked at the master's wife, "Master's wife, you mean I'm going to be a father." The master's wife nodded.

Sha Zhu still couldn't believe it. "Wife, is this true? I'm going to be a father?"

Yu Li nodded first, then shook her head: "I feel like it, but let's go to the hospital and let the doctor take a look."

"Okay, let's eat quickly and then go to the hospital." Sha Zhu was so happy that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. Suddenly, he grabbed the chopsticks and wanted to pick up some bacon for Yu Li. "Eat more meat, it's nutritious, and the child will grow strong."

"What are you eating? You'll vomit if you eat more." Yu Shui quickly stopped Sha Zhu's stupid behavior and picked up some lotus root for his sister-in-law.

The master's wife carefully picked up a small piece of yam and passed it to Yu Li's mouth, "Smell it gently and see if you feel uncomfortable. If so, don't eat it."

“This also has some reaction.” Yu Li replied.

"Okay, then no one can eat this plate of lotus root today. It all belongs to Yu Li." The master's wife gave the order.

The four of them quickly finished their meal, and Sha Zhu and Yu Shui protected Yu Li and went to the hospital.

The old Chinese doctor gently placed three fingers on the Cun, Guan and Chi points of Yu Li's wrist and looked at her face. Her complexion was rosy, her eyes were bright, her pulse was flowing smoothly, and her fingers were round and smooth, like beads rolling on a jade plate, which should be a sign of pregnancy.

The old Chinese doctor concluded: "Congratulations, you two are going to be parents. Your child is about one month old. The child is fine, so there is no need to worry."

"Thank you, thank you, doctor." Sha Zhu thanked repeatedly.

"Then is there anything we need to pay attention to?" Yu Li cares about everything about her child. "We are parents for the first time and we don't understand a lot of things. Please tell us more."

"Okay, since no one is here at noon, I will give you some more instructions: First, pregnant women should pay more attention to rest and avoid overwork. Men should help their wives with more housework. Second, eat more. Pregnant women should eat more so that their children can grow up healthy and strong. It is best to eat more meat."

"Doctor, my wife vomits when she smells meat. What should I do if she can't eat it?"

"Then you just need to find a way to stop your wife from vomiting. Some people vomit at the beginning but stop after a few days. Don't worry too much. If she keeps vomiting, the pregnant woman will have to endure it. Think more about the child and you can do it as a mother. Thirdly, exercise more and stay healthy, which will be of great help in giving birth in the future. Also, be careful not to catch a cold and eat less cold food. If conditions permit, come and I'll check you every one or two months." The old Chinese doctor patiently explained a lot of precautions.

"Thank you, thank you so much. I have noted down everything you said. I will definitely do as you said. I will come again next month." Yu Li clasped her hands together to express her gratitude.

Sha Zhu held the old Chinese doctor's hand and shook it continuously, and handed him the Peony cigarettes he had just opened in his pocket. "I don't have anything to show for you, but since you smoke, you can keep it."

When the old Chinese doctor sent the three people out, he pulled Sha Zhu aside and told him: "You can't have sex during pregnancy. It's easy to have a miscarriage. You must be patient."

"Oh, oh, I get it. I will definitely hold back." Sha Zhu nodded.

"Brother, what did the doctor just say to you? Do you need my help?" Yu Shui, who was an aunt for the first time, was very active.

"Go away, little girl, what are you asking for?" Sha Zhu sneered at Yu Shui and said, "Go to Master's house again and tell Master's wife the confirmed news of your pregnancy, so that she can be happy too."

The rain ran away. Although she was humiliated, she, who had just become an aunt, was still willing to share the news of her sister-in-law's pregnancy.
