Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

On the thirteenth day of the second month of the lunar calendar, a banquet was held at Zhang Shu's house, and everyone was invited to drink in the room.

The chef of the banquet was invited by the master chef when he got married. The dishes he cooked were delicious. Although the menu was better than others, Zhang Shu could afford it and would not be stingy with such a small amount of money.

At the banquet, Zhang Shu respected these neighbors at the table, and wanted to do something in the village. If the relationship with the neighbors is not good, there will be problems.It just so happened that the neighbors also wanted to rely on him to make some money, so both sides were polite, showing the appearance of having a good time.

After the banquet was over, the young couple sorted out the gifts from the neighbors, put the edible ones in the kitchen, and put the needed ones in the main room or room, and kept the money by themselves.Now Zhang Shu's grandparents don't get involved in this kind of human relationship anymore, and they all rely on themselves to support them. Except for those who have already had human relationships, the others are called whoever they are, and they are all voluntary.

……

This year, the field was opened early, and the spring potatoes were planted early, but the weather was cold and the seedlings did not grow quickly. Everyone covered it with things like straw and thatch to keep the temperature in the field. The temperature rose significantly a few days ago. open.

Up to now, those seedlings are almost a few inches high. Generally speaking, they can be harvested ten or twenty days earlier than before.

There is nothing to worry about in the field, but the field is about to start again. Last year, there were not many people planting winter wheat, and most of them reserved their fields for planting some rice this year. Because of the low price of wheat last year, Hexi Prefecture, Henan Province There was a bumper harvest of grain over there, which immediately lowered the price.However, the price of rice does not fluctuate significantly every year. In order to ensure income, it is better to use a variety of rice.

Since the news that Zhang Shu's family wanted to set up a workshop spread, those families who did not grow winter wheat were extremely happy.Because the harvest period of spring potatoes is similar to that of winter wheat, both in April and May, if one is busy with field work at this time, then Zhang Shu’s family’s work will be in vain.

As the saying goes, one inch deep in spring plowing can hold up a lot of dung.Chun Geng refuses to be busy, and his face turns yellow after autumn.

Now when I go to the village, I can see that basically every household has brought their things to the fields.Some drive oxen and pull plows, such as the village head and Zhang Shu’s family, some pull plows by themselves, and some people can’t even afford a plow, so they turn over with hoes.

On the day Zhang Shu came home, Yu Xiaoliu's father happened to be sick, so he went home to take care of him for a day, and came back the next day.

Because there is an extra long-term worker Yu Xiaoliu in the family this year, Zhang Shu and Yu Xiaoliu will work on the few fields left by the family. Grandpa Zhang enjoys leisure this year and doesn't have to do any work.

But the old man can’t stay idle, and when he has nothing to do, he and Grandma Zhang go to the village or the back mountain to pick up pigweed. Those autumn potato dregs have been eaten for a whole winter, and they are almost finished. It was eaten up by them. These four or five-month-old piglets are amazing eaters.

After Zhang Shu's family's spring plowing was over, Yu Xiaoliu took up the task of feeding pigs again. As a young man, he was much better at weeding pigs than the two old men, and he would pick wild vegetables from time to time for everyone to try.

Zhang Shu lent the family cow to Laiwang's family. They don't have many family members, and only Laiwang can really work in the fields. This cow has helped him a lot. The happy Laiwang always said Fortunately, I took Zhang Shu to the county seat together, but now that Feng Shui has changed, they are going to point at Zhang Shu and lead them to make money.

After Li Muqin came back from Zhang Shu, the discomfort on her body seemed to have disappeared. She looked more energetic and her appetite improved. Every meal she ate was similar to that of Zhang Shu, and she looked fatter.

One day when the two were exercising harmoniously, Zhang Shu pinched Li Muzhen's waist and said that it was so comfortable to touch the softness recently, and Li Muzhen realized that he had become fatter!

In fact, getting fat or something is not a big deal for farmers, it is a symbol of good fortune.But for a young man like Li Mujin, getting fat is a blow.It would be fine if there was more flesh on the buttocks, but it would be worrying if the flesh grew on the waist and stomach.

The next morning, Li Mujin stopped carrying a sickle around his waist and carried a basket to hunt pigweed, because he found that when he was doing housework, he couldn't help thinking about eating, and it was even more tiring to go outside. , and have nothing to eat, maybe he will lose weight soon.

With such good expectations, Li Mujin went out happily.

In the past few days, Zhang Shu and Li Yan went to the mountain to check the traps, and they walked down the mountain at ten o'clock at noon, holding a bundle of tender bracken in his hand.He thought happily, took it back and fried it with bacon, and then put two chili peppers on it with a little bit of buckwheat. It tasted salty and delicious, especially with rice. I promise to make Jin'er eat another bowl of rice today.

However, as soon as he walked to the field, someone called him, "Zhang Shu, your husband almost passed out on the grassy slope just now, and now he has been helped home. Come home and have a look!"

Zhang Shu panicked when he heard it, Xie ran back before he could say a word, this was the second time, he blamed himself a bit, why didn't he take Li Mujin to have a look when he fainted first, I still believe that what he said was not patched, so I will take him to see it anyway today!

Zhang Shu pushed open the yard door and rushed in, and then found Li Mujin sitting in the yard with a pale face, his grandmother was making honey water for him in the back room, and several aunts were talking beside him.

Zhang Shu threw the things away, then went to the cowshed to pull the cow out and put it on the cart, "Thank you for your concern, I will send Jin'er to the town to see the doctor first, and I will thank you all when I come back."

Then he went over to pick up Li Muzhen and put him on the car. Li Muzhen wanted to say that it would be good to sit for a while, but seeing Zhang Shu's rare and serious expression, he stopped talking again, and just now, his stomach hurt a little , I don’t know if I’m really sick.

Grandma Zhang came out with a bowl, put the bowl on the car, and climbed on the car. She was worried and must follow to see.

Zhang Shu thought, since he was driving outside, it would be good if someone would accompany Jin'er to take care of him, so he pulled his grandma up, and told Yu Xiaoliu to let him and his grandfather get something to eat by themselves, Zhang Shu He drove the ox cart away.

Sitting in the carport, Li Mujin drank warm honey water in small sips, and felt that she seemed to be well again.He was a little embarrassed, thinking that he might be so hungry.Since Zhang Shu said he was fat last night, he only drank half a bowl of porridge this morning, and then squatted on the ground to cut pigweed for a long time. When he stood up, he felt dizzy and hungry, so he managed not to fall.He stood up too quickly, pulling his stomach again, and his stomach hurt again.

Zhang Shu was impatient, but he didn't dare to drive too fast, for fear of bumping the two people in the car.Fortunately, the town is not too far away, and we will arrive in a short while.

It was the same medical center again, and the doctor obviously still had an impression of Zhang Shu, "What's the matter? Did you send your neighbor to see the doctor again?"

How could Zhang Shu have the energy to pay attention to his jokes, "Doctor, my husband, he has been dizzy several times, please help him take a look." Hold it in your hand to let him feel his pulse.

The doctor was dissatisfied with his rudeness, and deliberately pretended to be unfathomable when he took the pulse, but after holding it for a while, his expression really turned a little bit bad.

Zhang Shu, Grandma Zhang, and Li Mujin stared closely at the doctor's expression. Seeing that he was very serious, they didn't dare to breathe out. Their hearts were like a drum beating, and the heartbeat was clearly audible.

The doctor withdrew his hand and said in a reproachful tone, "What's the matter with your family? This little husband is pregnant, and he doesn't say he will take good care of it, but he can make people dizzy? The pulse is not stable, the blood is two Unfortunately, I have to take a few anti-fetal medicines first, and then stew some supplements to take care of it.”

This is a result that everyone did not expect, because everyone knows that it is difficult to conceive a brother. If you are lucky, you will be born within one or two years, and if you are unlucky, you may not have children until seven or eight years ago.Like Li Mujin's father, his brother was born after four years of marriage, and it took another three years before he was born.

Who would have thought that Li Mujin and Zhang Shu would be pregnant after only five months of marriage?

"Doctor, how many months has my husband married him?"

"Looking at the pulse, it should be about two months." It is now the middle of March, and counting the days, Zhang Shu was probably conceived during the time when Zhang Shu left home to go to Nanhai County.

Grandma Zhang had a look of fear. The house was being built at home, and there were many things to do. Even if he didn't have to challenge and resist, there was a lot of work inside and out. Fortunately, the child was strong, so he kept it all.

Zhang Shu was even more regretful. During the time he came back, the two were young and newly married, and they often got together when they were quarreling. It was a good chance that nothing happened, otherwise he would be in the shadow for the rest of his life.

Li Muqin was even more guilty, he didn't notice the changes in his body, he just pretended to be hungry when he felt uncomfortable occasionally, and he went to mow the grass today, if the child fell, he would cry to death on the bed.

The doctor looked at the remorse on the faces of this family, and knew that they probably didn't know about it, "You are really big-hearted. Fortunately, his body is strong, and the fetus in his belly is also strong, otherwise it will be too late for you to regret .”

As the doctor said, he scribbled down the names of the medicines with a brush, "Use this to prescribe the anti-abortion medicine for three days, now go to the yard and ask Tong'er to fry a bowl and drink it before going back home, and use four bowls." Fry a bowl with water and fire, and do the same when you go back.”

Zhang Shu quickly took the prescription and thanked the doctor. He was busy working for a long time before he calmed down.

He ran to Li Mujin's side and grabbed his hand, "Jin'er, just tell me if you want to eat or drink, and I'll buy it for you right away!"

"I don't have anything to eat, just do whatever I want." Li Mujin couldn't say what he wanted to eat, but he was indeed hungry.

"You can't just do it casually, Ah Shu, go to the restaurant and ask for a stewed chicken soup for Hibiscus to drink." Grandma Zhang said.

The doctor hurriedly stopped him, "It's not suitable for three days of taking medicine. It's too greasy, just get your husband some porridge and side dishes!"

Zhang Shu agreed, and then went out immediately.Grandma Zhang felt that this doctor was quite reliable, so she asked him how to take care of a pregnant woman, and what taboos are there in terms of daily eating and drinking expenses.

The doctor didn't have any other patients, so he carefully said some precautions.Grandma Zhang and Li Mujin both listened with pricked ears, for fear of missing something.

Seeing how nervous they were, the doctor smiled and said, "Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. You should pay attention to your diet, and the rest will be the same as usual. The more nervous you are, the worse it will be."

Zhang Shu was carrying a food box, followed by a younger brother who was also carrying a food box.

He took things out, a small bowl of shredded chicken porridge, a small bowl of porridge with mixed vegetables and lean meat, a stack of spring rolls, a stack of mixed shredded rice, a stack of Chinese toon mixed with tofu, and a stack of sliced ​​salted duck eggs.

In the other food box were a few stir-fried dishes and three bowls of rice. One could tell by looking at the dishes that they were ordered randomly. Compared with Li Mujin's, there was a huge gap.

Zhang Shu asked the doctor to eat with them, then moved a small table over and placed it in front of Li Mujin, while the others sat on small chairs to eat.

The doctor saw this dish, and immediately said, "You are a caring husband." In his heart, Zhang Shu's image was added to the image of a caring husband, a model of being a family leader, but a bit harmless. Just careless.

Li Mujin glanced at Zhang Shu moved, and then picked up the bowl to eat.His food intake is really not covered, he obviously ate the amount for two people in the food box by himself.And the three of them just ate four stir-fries and three bowls of rice.

Zhang Shu packed up the things and handed them to the second brother who was sitting outside, and gave him a few coins to send the things back.

About half an hour later, Li Muzhen's medicine was ready. He swallowed the medicine swallowing the bitter taste, and then wrinkled his brows and eyes in bitterness.

There is nothing here to suppress the taste, so Zhang Shu decided to add another candied fruit to the things he wanted to buy.
