After cleaning up the place again, Chen Dou felt a little hungry, so she ate two snacks and drank a glass of milk. However, her third sister told her that if she found out she was pregnant, she must drink more milk so that the child would be smart.

I absolutely believe what my third sister says, so even if it's money I'm reluctant to spend, I won't be stingy on milk powder.

I felt a little sleepy after eating, so I lay down in the mosquito net and fell asleep quickly.

She was awakened by the heat; the temperature soared when the sun came out.

It was really uncomfortable to lie down, but I didn’t want to get up.

This kind of life is a bit uncomfortable, I really can't get used to it, so I decided to discuss it with Xu Shengmao and go to work. Do as much as I can, which is better than doing nothing like this.

I forced myself to get up and go out to the yard to relax.

The sun outside is too strong. I can't stay outside. I go back inside and sigh. It's too stuffy. It's just like the rainy days in the north.

I took out a piece of cloth from the bag, thinking of making a door curtain. It's uncomfortable to sleep with the door closed, but it feels wrong to leave the door open. If not, how about making a sand door?
There are a lot of bamboos here, I'll ask who can make it later. Sewing cloth on top should be much cooler than closing the door.

My father is a carpenter. Although he doesn't know how to make a carpenter, he has seen a lot of them. He thought making a sand door is not that complicated. If it really doesn't work, he can sew bamboo on the four sides of the door curtain. This is more convenient than a door curtain and won't be blown away by the wind.

Just do it when you remember to do it, and don’t bother others.

Take the hatchet and go out. There is a large bamboo forest outside the camp. Just go and chop it down.

She met many comrades on the way, and they all looked at her curiously.

Everyone knew in their hearts that this was the wife of the new political commissar. After all, there were too few women in the garrison, and they all knew each other.

The guard stopped her and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" I saw her last night.
"I'm going there to cut bamboo." Chen Dou said, pointing to the bamboo forest outside.

"Sister-in-law, go back and wait. I'll ask my brother to bring it to you later." The fair and beautiful woman holding a hatchet had a huge visual impact.

"No, I can do it myself. Or is it that the bamboo forest cannot be moved?"

"Sister-in-law, the rules prohibit cutting down bamboo in that bamboo forest."

"Okay, I understand. I want four bamboos."

Chen Dou came back with a hatchet and said, "Just wait. We are not familiar with this place, so it is better to be cautious."

Soon the bamboo was delivered. The dark-skinned young man put down the bamboo and grinned, revealing a row of big white teeth.

"Sister-in-law, what do you want bamboo for?"

“I want to be a Samana.”

"Sramana? I get it. I'll do it."

"Will it delay your work?"

"No, don't worry."

The young man was very skillful. He even sewed the gauze. He also made a big cross in the middle to make the temple more stable.

There were still a lot of bamboos left, so I helped Xiao Zhang make one. The other one was used as a kitchen and was not made because it was inconvenient to go in and out.

After thanking him and wanting to give him some candy, the young man didn't want to run away.

Chen Dou stood outside and looked at the two monks with great satisfaction. Even without locking the door at night, there was still some privacy.

At noon, Xu Shengmao came to bring lunch to his wife. When he saw Shamen, he smiled and said, "She is quite skillful. My wife can make such practical things."

"It wasn't me who did it. It was a young man named Lei Zi. I wanted to go outside the base to cut bamboo, but they said there were rules that prohibiting cutting bamboo. Could it be Feng Shui?"

"I didn't ask. I'll have time to ask in the afternoon."

The two of them ate, and Xu Shengmao peeled two eggs for his wife. It was also good to eat rice porridge.

"I'm really bored here. How about going to work in the health team? How about doing whatever I can?"

"You are still too young, can you stay at home and read? The medical team is indeed short of staff, but I am afraid you can't handle it. When things get busy, you can't do whatever you said you could."

Chen Dou also knew that when the time came, when things really got busy, even if it was saving lives, those who were doing medical work would devote themselves to it. "Okay. I'll go shopping in the afternoon and then go to the medical team."

"It's too hot this afternoon."

"It's okay, I'll pay attention."

After lunch he left in a hurry because he was worried about his wife, otherwise he would not have had time, let alone come back for lunch.

The house was even hotter in the afternoon, and it felt like you could see the heat waves.

Chen Dou has already changed into summer clothes. It's too hot.

When she heard the assembly call, she was a little worried, but it was not appropriate for her to go there alone.

I couldn't even read, so I just prepared clothes for the baby in my belly.

Until I heard the trumpet, it was the trumpet for dinner.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, I heard a voice calling me from outside.

A young man was carrying two lunch boxes. "Sister-in-law, this is dinner."

"Where's your political commissar?"

"Political Commissar, follow us to encircle and suppress the invaders from Posha Country."

Chen Dou knew this day would come, but he still felt it was too soon.

"Thank you."

I took the dinner back to the house, but I couldn't eat it at all.

Soon Xiao Zhang ran over, "Sister-in-law."

"Why aren't you with Old Xu?"

"Sister-in-law, the political commissar asked me to stay and take care of you. He didn't let me follow you."

Chen Dou frowned and didn't say anything to Xiao Zhang. He just followed orders and would tell him when he came back that Xiao Zhang must be by his side when he went out next time.

His Kung Fu is very good, this is what the third brother-in-law said. He let him stay with Old Xu to protect him, so how could he stay to protect himself?
What do I have to take care of? What dangers can there be in the base?
"Go eat. Someone just brought me food."

After Xiao Zhang said that and left, Chen Dou lost all his appetite.

In fact, it was like this in the past. My third brother-in-law, younger brother, nephews and nieces would worry whenever they went to the battlefield.

Even after all these years, I still haven't gotten used to it. Xu Shengmao didn't go to the battlefield very often before. I'm really worried about him.

Those who have not seen the Posa Kingdom hope that the scale is not too big.

I couldn't eat it, and even if I forced myself to, I didn't want to eat it, so I just didn't eat.

Xiao Zhang came back soon and saw his sister-in-law sitting outside. He knew she was worried about the political commissar.

"Sister-in-law, I've asked someone who knows how to carpenter. I'll ask them to help make a set of tables and chairs for the yard. We can eat in the yard in the morning and evening, and we can plant mosquito repellent plants in the yard. This way there will be fewer mosquitoes."

"Okay, thank you for your help. How many people are there this time, Xiao Zhang?"

"The political commissar has gone out with the third battalion commander and two squads."

"Just two classes?"

"There are still brothers in the back preparing. It depends on how many people come from the Posuo country and whether there is any support from the back."

I sighed and decided to wait. There was no other way. Even if I wasn't pregnant and wanted to go with them, they wouldn't agree.

I carried two mosquito repellent bags with me. Although mosquitoes were buzzing around me, I didn't get bitten. This bag is very effective. I made a few more.
