My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 160 Pregnancy

   The night is deep.

  Chen Ling tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. He usually slept with a pillow, but today he was not at all sleepy.

  The daughter-in-law is finally pregnant.

   That guy excited him, his face was red, and he walked with wind. Let's cook a good meal for his wife in the evening. He was so happy that he forgot the time, and the food was mushy.

   But he still ate happily, and ate two more steamed buns than usual.

   "It feels like a dream, we're going to have children too."

"Um."

   "Susu, pinch me."

   "Ouch, it hurts, it's true."

"Hahaha…"

   "Keep your voice down, don't wake up Zhen Zhen."

   Wang Susu said strangely.

   Although it was very late at night, she couldn't sleep, and her heart was warm, and she was filled with happiness.

   Following her husband, he asked a question, and she answered softly.

   asked her to pinch her arm, and she pinched it lightly.

  Chen Ling has asked her how many times since the afternoon until now, making her pinched herself.

   Neither of the two felt bored.

  Chen Ling grinned even more silly.

   In fact, Wang Susu was also very happy, even happier than Chen Ling.

   She had been looking forward to having a baby with Chen Ling, and this time she finally got her wish.

   As long as Chen Ling was not at home, she was reluctant to eat anything good.

   In the past two days, I added two more eggs to each meal for myself, and I also added more oil to stir-fry.

   "Sister Qiumei said that the county hospital's pregnancy test is very accurate, let's do another test tomorrow."

"Okay."

   "Hey, by the way, what's wrong with her? As soon as I came back, I saw her washing her hair at home and helping you do laundry?"

"Sister Qiumei has been busy with the door in the past two days. Her body is not very good. She said that she was brought from her mother's womb. , give her a look..."

   "Oh, my daughter-in-law will see a doctor. It's amazing."

  Chen Ling supported her head, leaned in and kissed her delicate and smooth face.

   "There's no way, I can't do it, it's still a long way off."

   The little daughter-in-law glanced at him lightly, shook her head, and a blush appeared on her face.

   "It's far worse, this time into the mountains, the medicine you prepared is much better than what they brought, even the old hunters in Kinmen Village praised it."

   "Nonsense, you will make me happy."

   "Hey, don't believe me, I'll tell you, this time it's very dangerous for us to go into the mountains, and we've even encountered a dog, that thing is always fierce..."

  Chen Ling stretched out his hand to take his daughter-in-law into his arms and said softly.

   One spoke vividly and the other listened carefully. As the night grew darker, their voices gradually became lower and lower.

  … The next day, the two went out early in the morning, drove their sister-in-law to school with an ox cart, and went to the county hospital for a urine test.

   The result was as expected, she was really pregnant.

   In fact, there is a sign of this matter, that is, Wang Susu is not sure, and has been refusing to say it without telling Chen Ling.

   I am afraid that I will not have a baby after I say it, so I will have a happy time.

   Two days ago, she had a reaction on her own, and it became more and more intense, so she couldn't help but let Sister Xiufen take a look, and also asked Chen Guoping's opinion, both of them said that there is a high probability of being pregnant.

   But I didn’t dare to pack a ticket.

   After all, this is the first child of the young couple.

   Knowing that Wang Susu attaches great importance to it, they didn't dare to say it all, and they helped her hide it from anyone.

   After going to the county hospital for an examination today, Wang Susu finally felt at ease.

  Chen Ling was even more delighted.

When    came, although he had already confirmed that he had a daughter-in-law, he still felt like he was fetching water from fifteen buckets.

   Now I can put my heart in my stomach.

   "We are also about to have a baby..."

  People are in good spirits at happy events. Chen Ling waved a whip and hummed a little song along the way, and his face was filled with joy that could not be concealed.

   "Appeal!"

  The mountain road is halfway through and crosses the last mountain ridge, which is extremely difficult to walk.

  Chen Ling was afraid of bumping his daughter-in-law, so he took her into his arms, and at the same time called to stop the little white cow, and again ordered him to walk slowly and steadily.

  “Moo—”

   Xiaobai Niu was told once when he came, so he naturally knew what was going on.

   responded with a long, melodious cry.

   Stepping slowly, pulling the car and walking slowly.

   "I don't need such a Ling, I'm not that precious."

   Wang Susu felt that he was making too much of a fuss.

   When I was not pregnant with a baby before, I almost held her in my hand and it hurt.

   is now more exaggerated.

   made her a little uncomfortable.

   After all, she is not a squeamish woman, she is capable of rough work.

   In the past, people were still working in the fields when they were pregnant with children, and it was not like she had never seen them before.

   "Why not? In my opinion, you are the most precious. Besides, you have a double body and a baby bump in your stomach. You guys are my lifeblood..."

  Chen Ling kissed his daughter-in-law on the face and hugged even tighter.

   makes Wang Susu both happy and helpless.

   "It's only just now, it hasn't shown up yet."

   "No, you should pay attention if you don't show your feelings, you have to listen to me."

  Chen Ling stared at the words and said confidently.

   Back to the village, they didn't hide it this time.

  Wang Susu's pregnancy quickly spread.

   This is terrible.

   As soon as they heard about it, they were close to Chen Ling, and they rushed over.

  The wives gathered around Wang Susu to greet him.

   said what to pay attention to at this time, what to pay attention to in two months, and what to avoid, the yard is full of excitement.

  The men shouted for Chen Ling to buy a drink.

   "Let's talk about it, let's talk about it, let's talk about it, you will definitely not be able to escape from this meal of riches and honors."

   "That's right, I don't want to give us a drink now. If you give birth to a baby, you have to set up two tables for you. If you are not satisfied with the drink, you will come to your house every day to eat, which will annoy your baby to death."

   "Haha, it's hard to say, it will be as big as it gets. It will be placed directly from the door of my house to the entrance of the village. I will hold my baby and accompany you to drink..."

  Chen Ling laughed out loud. He didn't stop smiling today. He scattered the cigarettes for the men and lit it himself. A group of people stood outside the door talking and laughing.

   When it was time for dinner, everyone didn't bother much, and they left in a swarm.

  Leave a message before leaving.

   said to let Chen Ling accompany his daughter-in-law at home for the past two days. After they sold the prey, they would send him the money, and let him not worry about it.

  Chen Ling agreed at first.

   But let’s count the days, tomorrow there will be a big festival in the village.

   He was immediately moved.

   is going to follow him, to find the mule and horse broker of Lao Batou, and let him help him find two ewes with cubs.

   I bought it and kept it at home to produce milk and support my daughter-in-law.

  Goat's milk is a nourishing good thing, its nutrition is far more than cow's milk.

  The reason is that cows are picky about grass and like to eat one type of grass. Over time, the nutrition of the milk produced is not balanced.

  Sheep is different. It eats all kinds of herbs. No matter weeds or leaves of crops, it is not picky about anything. The milk produced in this way is very nutritious, which is higher than that of milk, and is suitable for pregnant women to replenish their bodies.

   But also need to pay attention.

   Ordinary people can’t drink too much. Unlike cow’s milk, which is warm and cool, too much goat’s milk will cause fire, and those with poor constitution will also cause inflammation, swelling and pain in certain parts.

  Pregnant women are twins, in addition to themselves, they also need to conceive a fetus. They have high nutritional needs, so drinking goat milk is the most suitable.

   Actually, Chen Ling also understood.

   The things in his own cave are enough, but there is no way, who made him experience the joy of becoming a father for the first time in his life, he just wanted to keep the same things and prepare all the good things for his daughter-in-law.

   He is not afraid of more, but is afraid of less.

   And he took over all the work at home, including laundry and cooking.

   Wang Susu's persuasion was useless, he couldn't beat him.

   "Heiwa, see how dirty you are, let's go and take you to the reservoir to take a bath."

  Chen Ling was in a good mood, rubbed Heiwa's big head, greeted him, and went out with a fishing net.

   Seeing him like this, Heiwa tilted his big head and glanced at him suspiciously.

  It is full of energy on weekdays, and can't settle down at all. If it doesn't make a fuss every other day, it will feel uncomfortable, so it is always in trouble, and it is common to be beaten and disciplined.

   Today, it is rare to see Chen Ling showing a good face to it, and he is still a little uncomfortable.

   But a fool is a fool. Hearing that Chen Ling was going to take it for a bath, he was excited and rushed out of the house like a wolf howling.

   "Rich and noble, don't stay home to guard your daughter-in-law, come out and hang around."

   "Go to the reservoir to fish for fish, and drink some fish soup at night."

   "Hahaha, I said, in the end, you will still love your daughter-in-law. This time, you can play with the delicious food, and no one will talk about you."

  “…”

   Everyone greeted him all the way out the door. They all knew that Wang Susu was pregnant, and his family was about to have a new baby. After seeing him, they stopped him with a vernacular.

  The country people don't say anything to congratulate, but they can feel it from their enthusiasm. Some people give Chen Ling cigarettes, some people help him pack the eagle boat and so on.

   "In a few days, the buds in the ground will be ready to eat. Whenever you want to eat it, you can go to my house and leave a few roots to cook."

   "Uncle I know, go there if you want to eat."

When    arrived at the reservoir, Chen Ling first gave the dog a bath, then drove the eagle boat to cast two nets and caught a few big fish.

   This time, under the guise of fishing in the reservoir, he was going to kill two red eels in the cave.

  After catching the fish, after thinking about it, I went to Laohewan to catch two old turtles and brought them home.

   That's not enough.

  According to Wang Susu's usual taste, he picked two bags full of sweet and sour fruits such as wild hawthorn, pomegranate, and August melon in the cave.

  After preparing the meal, give Wang Susu a snack, or squeeze it into juice and drink it as a drink.

   When he returned, he turned to Chen Guoping's house and asked Mrs. Xiufen.

   Only then did I realize that there are many things that pregnant women cannot eat.

  For example, wild hawthorn, sour is indeed suitable for the taste of pregnant women, but it is actually harmful to pregnant women.

  Although it is a wild hawthorn produced in Dongtian, Chen Ling did not dare to use it again to be on the safe side.

   In addition, the old turtle was caught in vain. Although the nutritional value of the old turtle is not low, it is cold in nature. It is a cold food, which will increase the risk of miscarriage.

   So only a few types of pomegranates, wild cherries, and wild grapes were left.

   Pomegranates and wild grapes are the best.

   Not only has a good promotion effect on fetal brain development, among them, wild grapes can also reduce adverse reactions in pregnant women and produce more milk, which is a good product for fetuses and milk.

  …

   "How about it, how does this eel taste, does it still taste good?"

  In the evening, when dinner was ready, Chen Ling made three dishes and one soup and put it on the table.

  The main food is rice, and the dishes are two meat and one vegetarian.

   There are braised eel segments made of red eel, braised venison, mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots.

   There is also fried winter melon.

  The soup is a stew of deer bones or deer miscellaneous and deer tendons. It contains lotus seeds, wolfberry, and some warm herbs. It is stewed for a long time on low heat.

   "Delicious, fragrant and tender, better than what you've made before."

  Wang Susu sandwiched a piece of eel into the mouth, tasted it, and was very surprised.

   "This yellow eel has very few thorns and is covered in flesh. Was it also caught from Laohewan?"

   "Caught by Lao Hewan, if you want to eat it, I'll catch two more for you tomorrow. Come, eat a piece of venison, you can try this venison again."

"Well-"

   "The venison is also delicious. It's so fragrant, even more fragrant than badger meat."

   After eating this and that, Chen Ling put the food on the table and didn't bother to eat it, so he let his daughter-in-law taste it.

  Wang Zhenzhen stared wildly beside him without saying a word, watching the young couple tossing for a while, and finally couldn't help snickering while covering his mouth.

   Chen Ling blushed when she saw this, and glared at her: "Why are you laughing? Hurry up and do your homework after dinner."

   "Hmph, my sister has been hiding from me when she has a baby. Actually, I already knew it."

  Wang Zhenzhen raised his face and snorted, got up and went to serve the meal by himself.

   "You didn't tell her?"

  Chen Ling suddenly said strangely.

  Wang Susu shook her head, her sister was still young, so there was no need to tell her this.

   I didn’t go to the hospital for a checkup two days ago, and they didn’t tell anyone.

   Even when Qin Qiumei came to visit, she didn't say it in front of the little girl.

   "Really, I'm going to the village tomorrow to go to the big fair, what do you want to buy?"

   "I don't want to buy anything, you can buy it for my sister."

   The little girl took a mouthful of rice and smiled at Wang Susu.

   "Sister, when are we going home, if your parents know that you have a baby, you will be happy."

  Wang Susu pinched her little nose when she heard the words, and glanced at Chen Ling: "I'll be back in a while, and wait for your brother-in-law to finish the family affairs."

   "What's the matter, do you miss home?"

   "Well...I don't think about it yet, maybe two months later..."

"Silly girl."

   "Let's eat quickly, your brother-in-law has cooked so many dishes."

  ...Wang Zhenzhen soon had a good meal and went back to the house to do his homework.

   She doesn't have much appetite, and there are a lot of dishes left on the table.

   "Susu, drink the rest of the deer soup, it's a good thing."

  The deer miscellaneous soup is very clear, even if it is stewed for a long time, it is not cloudy. It is very delicious when you drink it in your mouth.

  Chen Ling took great pains to deal with it, and there was no fishy smell.

   It’s just that Wang Susu is too full. Now that she is pregnant, her appetite hasn’t changed much, so she can’t eat anymore.

   In the last half, it still entered Chen Ling's stomach.

   Chen Ling rushed to wash the dishes after the meal.

This time, Wang Susu refused. Just as Chen Ling was about to say something, Susu knew that she could not persuade him, so she walked to him and covered his mouth with soft red lips. Chen Ling couldn't say anything. .

   I just thought happily in my heart: It’s good for my daughter-in-law to be pregnant, an old husband and a wife, take the initiative more than before.

   "Don't stand here, go to sleep, I can do anything now."

   Wang Susu blushed and pushed him out.

   "Then you use hot water."

"Know."

   Actually, Chen Ling himself was too nervous. He was going to be a father for the first time in his life. That guy was really careful everywhere, for fear of doing something wrong.

   This is the bad part of not having elders in the family.

   If you have no experience in this kind of thing, you have to ask others about everything.

   But fortunately, slowly, the young couple got used to it.

  Wang Susu is indeed not a squeamish woman.

   And for the past six months, the body and bones nourished by the cave are not comparable to ordinary women. As she said, she can still do anything.

   And the reaction on her body is much weaker than other pregnant women.

   This was one of the reasons why she wasn't too sure at first.
