Chapter 364 Pregnant
On New Year's Day in 1989, Kou Xi confirmed that she was pregnant at the Municipal No. [-] Hospital.

When she got home, she called Kou Dewang first and told him the good news.Kou Dewang was overjoyed, and rode his bicycle through the streets to buy a lot of pullets.This season is the day when every household kills chickens and pigs. The next day, Kou Dewang brought more than 20 pullets to Hongqi Town.

Because Kou Dewang has not retired yet, he can only stay in his hometown temporarily, and by the way, burn kangs for his own family and his brother's family.Always asking neighbors to help is also indebted, but fortunately, Kou Dewang can cook and eat by himself.Get some sauerkraut, cook some noodles, and heat up a few sticky bean buns to complete a meal.

Hearing that Kou Xi was finally pregnant, the Kou family was very happy.After all, there have been rumors in the village that Kouxi is not born for so long, and this can be broken in one fell swoop.

"She didn't have a mother since she was a child, and her mother-in-law is also a queen. We can only take care of her at home, Jin Zhi'er, you will suffer a lot in the future, the boss can't make you work for nothing." Mrs. Kou persuaded Tang Jinzhi: "The red plum will be born soon, I'll buy you two a pair of gold rods to wear."

In the rural Northeast at the end of the 80s, it was the most proud thing for a daughter-in-law to have a gold plate (gold ring).When I go back to my mother's house during the holidays, I can't be more elated.There is another pair of gold earrings, which makes people jealous.

Originally, Tang Jinzhi hoped that he could take good care of Kouxi himself, after all, this girl grew up by his side since she was a child.But being told by her mother-in-law like this, Tang Jinzhi felt a little uncomfortable.

She complained to her daughter-in-law: "I've been serving Kou Xi for so many years, and it's not like she didn't see her. Besides, since the grocery store opened, we've been busy like two dead dogs. Didn't you see it? It's not my own daughter, why should I serve you?"

Hao Hongmei persuaded Tang Jinzhi with a smile: "Kou Xi is not a busy person, she has a clear eye and a bright heart. You take care of her, she must be grateful to you. Besides, with her personality, it is impossible to treat you badly."

As she said that, she touched her belly: "When Huo An comes back, this child will be born. I don't know if I can also conceive when Hongyu comes back this year."

"People say that some couples can't have children, and they adopt one to the family, and they give birth one after another. I think that's the case with Niu Niu. Didn't she just send a child to the old girl when she came here!"

"It's fine if it's a son. When it's born, I can see what she can say about her big aunt." Tang Jinzhi gritted his teeth and scolded: "Look at the aura that came to the house that day, when our old Kou's family didn't What about people. When I came home for the first time, I didn’t talk empty-handed, but I was still talking vigorously. I don’t know what their family taught my daughter.”

"Oh, how can you expect a good education for a child without a mother!" Hao Hongmei blurted out, and after she finished speaking, she wished she could bite off her tongue with regret.

Sure enough, Tang Jinzhi quit.He yelled at the top of his voice: "Our Kou Xi is also a child without a mother. No one will say that we teach Kou Xi well. You look at how to treat people, don't laugh or talk when you see people, you are very capable and can make money. Filial piety. I don't think there is anyone better than her."

"So this is a tutoring. The family members are well trained. Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black." Hao Hongmei smiled, hugged Tang Jinzhi's arm and said, "I will do more homework in the future, so that the family can be better. Kou Xi takes good care of the fetus. I heard that people vomit every day in the first few months of pregnancy, and want to sleep every day in the next few months.”

Tang Jinzhi nodded: "After I have discussed with your father, I will follow the salesman and not prepare the cooked food. Cooked food is too exhausting, and it takes too much time. During this period of time, I have learned how to settle accounts when I sell goods. I’m not afraid to talk to people anymore. I can calculate the prices marked on the shelves in our house without an abacus. Don’t worry, you won’t be tired.”

"Don't sell cooked food anymore?" Hao Hongmei said regretfully, "That's really profitable, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it's the time to earn the most money."

"That can't be helped. I can work there, but I can't help you here." Tang Jinzhi couldn't help complaining about her husband: "Your dad can't do anything. If you don't know the words, and you can't understand the accounts, you will have to work hard for the rest of your life!"

Tang Jinzhi told Kou Xi the news, and Kou Xi also felt sorry for giving up cooked food.The old lady Kou said quickly: "Why don't I help, I help burn firewood every day, I can see the meat clearly, I can do it."

Mr. Kou quickly denied: "You can pull it down, how old are you, why did you fall into the pot, and turn around and kill yourself."

The angry old lady Kou brushed him off with a feather duster, and she didn't bother to relieve her hatred.

"Why don't you call my sister over and ask her to help cook cooked food." Kou Xi did not forget Wang Yazhi, although she didn't know that Old Yu Yu had long wanted to let Wang Yazhi learn the craft secretly.

"Then how much is appropriate to give her? If you give too much, we won't make any money." Tang Jinzhi had a bitter face.Kou Xi rubbed her belly, which was not yet pregnant, and said with a frown: "The purpose of selling cooked food is to attract customers, so that our family can have more shops to see more prosperity."

She tilted her head and thought for a while: "I'll find something for my second uncle later on. It's not a big deal to go out to play mahjong every day."

Tang Jinzhi nodded again and again: "That's right, the old men in the village now play mahjong and poker whenever they are free."

"What can he do? Let him do these jobs, but he can't do them." Mrs. Kou felt sorry for her son and was reluctant to let Kou Deyou work.

"When I was visiting relatives, I worked on spicy skewers for a while, and they sold very well there. Later, I bought an electric pot and asked my second uncle to sell some spicy skewers in that house, and then set up a barbecue stall outside. She’s grilling mutton kebabs. It’s Chinese New Year, and those children have some lucky money in their hands. Buy some snacks, mutton skewers, spicy skewers, isn’t it all money.”

Kou Xi rubbed his belly and smiled: "I think children's money is the best to earn. Isn't the money earned by adults to support children?"

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Kou Xi's mind, and he remembered the snack spicy chips that smacked his lips.Thinking of that smell, Kou Xi's mouth watered.

"When I have time, I will go back to my mother's house and ask my father-in-law for some bean curds. Let's make some spicy slices. It costs a penny a piece, and it will definitely sell well at the gate of the school."

Tang Jinzhi heard the name was very strange, and couldn't help asking: "What is spicy slice? Is it easy to make? Why do you still use your father-in-law?"

Kou Xixin said; this may be the fate in the legend, he is the only one in the village who can make tofu.The raw materials of spicy slices and spicy strips are mainly head products.
