Chapter 105

The days passed quickly, and Fang Yumin's belly protruded a bit, but it was not obvious that she was covered by the wide clothes.

In the backyard of Confucianism Garden, there are five large pottery vats lined up, and the mouths of the vats are all sealed with mud.Inside is tempeh, which is fermenting.This is another seasoning that Fang Yumin is going to make: Garlic Chili Black Bean Sauce.

The last time I went back to Linjiacun to make soy sauce, Fang Yumin took some fermented soybeans and tried to make the garlic chili fermented bean sauce that was indispensable in her kitchen before.As for her favorite XO sauce, she couldn't make it without scallops.Unexpectedly, the taste is so good, even better than the one she bought in the modern supermarket.Fang Yumin dare not attribute it to her craftsmanship, her craftsmanship is so-so, only the raw materials are excellent.All kinds of different materials have their own strong fragrances, and they are so delicious when they are blended together.

Linjia Village is not too far from Nantou County, and it takes about two hours to get there by horse-drawn carriage.But Fang Yumin's body is heavy now, and it's not easy to bump back and forth.The backyard of the Confucian Garden is not too big, but it is enough for 5-10 large pottery jars.Two cherry blossom trees were also transplanted there, and their fruiting period has passed.

Sweet potato flour is very popular in Haipu County, and Linjia Village will send a batch there almost every month.Lin Damin and his eldest son A Sheng are also among those who take turns delivering goods.Fang Yumin asked him to help her buy the goods, such as kelp, seaweed, dried shrimp, dried small fish, salted fish, etc., and even sea salt.

Seafood is rich in nutrition, which is conducive to the growth and development of children.Moreover, seaweed and kelp are used to cook soup, which tastes very fresh.It's a completely different taste from meat.

Seaweed and kelp are readily available near the sea, and the price is very cheap.Every time Lin Damin and Ah Sheng would bring back a lot to Fang Yumin.In addition to being sensitive, Fang Yumin also used dried shrimps, small dried fish, chili, fermented soya beans, spices and sautéed until fragrant, then added heavy oil to make a dried fish and shrimp soaked in oil.For Lin Damin and A Sheng on the road, steamed buns and flatbreads are eaten as side dishes.

Both are from the same village, Lin Damin and Ah Sheng don't like to eat alone.Every time he stopped to eat or eat dry food, Lin Damin opened the small jar containing dried fish and shrimp soaked in oil, and other people surrounded him.Everyone will be greedy when they smell the smell, and they are very envious of the good relationship between Lin Damin's family and Qiulai's wife.If my mother-in-law talked less about right and wrong and cared more about weak women and children, or now I don’t have to look at other people’s dried fish and shrimps in oil to drool.

Dried fish and shrimp soaked in oil are very popular in the escort team. Fang Yumin took Li Shi and Xiaoyue to try to make a batch at home and sell them outside the building. There is also garlic chili bean sauce, just named it' Fang's Delicious Sauce'.Of course, Fang Yumin handed over the sales work to Ah Qing, but he also let the clever little star follow him.

"In autumn, we have to buy land to grow soybeans and peppers. The soybeans and peppers bought in the village and the market are not very good. This will directly affect the quality of our Fang's sauce." Fang Yumin leaned against the head of the bed, to Lin Qiu who was helping her to press her calf.I don't know if it's because of her pregnancy, but her calves and feet are a little swollen.Even the cloth shoes had to be redone.

Lin Qiulai raised his head and smiled: "Okay. I'll talk to Lizheng when I return to the village in two days. How many acres of land do you want to buy?"

"Just ten acres of dry land. Or let your elder brother manage it?"

Lin Qiulai's eyes lit up: "Are you rest assured to leave it to the elder brother?"

Fang Yumin glanced at Lin Qiulai: "I don't worry about your mother or your sister-in-law, but your elder brother is still good. Your elder brother should be able to make decisions about the crops. I only hope that the soybeans and peppers he grows will be round and round." The meat is thick, and I don’t ask for anything else. When the harvest is over, you have to hire someone to harvest it, don’t really let the big brother work alone.”

"Naturally, otherwise ten acres of land would be too much." Lin Qiulai nodded.The people in the village, perhaps almost all of them know how to grow rice, corn, and wheat, and no one will grow soybeans and peppers on purpose.Because their family is in the sauce business, they need a lot of raw materials, so they have to grow them.

Although Lin Qiulai's big hands with thick calluses were rough, it was quite comfortable to massage on the skin.Fang Yumin felt a little sleepy after being rubbed by him. Recently, she fell asleep again and stopped going outside the building. The work of cashier was handed over to Xiaochen, and he did a good job.

Lin Qiu came to see that Fang Yumin was sleepy, and hurriedly helped her to lie down and covered her with a thin quilt.Fang Yumin was six months pregnant, she ate a lot but her belly was not big at all, her face was still slapped, and her hands and feet were slender.She was going to give birth in three or four months, and Lin Qiulai couldn't help but get nervous.

When Xiao Ming was born, he was still very young. It is only natural for a woman to be pregnant and give birth to a child, but she would accept death due to childbirth without worrying too much, that is fate.This has been the case since ancient times.But now Lin Qiulai is afraid. He is afraid that Fang Yumin will have a difficult delivery, and even more afraid that she will leave him and his son.That feeling of worrying about gains and losses is comparable to antenatal depression.

In addition to maintaining a good body, it is also very important to have an experienced stable woman to deliver the baby.Lin Qiulai started to inquire early, although there are still several months before Fang Yumin's due date.

Fang Yumin was also very scared. There is no obstetrics and gynecology department, no operating room, and no doctors and facilities that can protect the lives of pregnant women and babies in modern times.There are only stable women who have no knowledge and rely on experience to deliver babies, and even doctors will not give birth to women because of incompatibility between men and women.Fang Yumin didn't know what to do, what if he bleeds heavily?What if you get stuck inside and can't get out?
When Fang Yumin thought of these things, she felt uneasy.When Mrs. Li knew about Madam's worries, she was very surprised, how could Madam have already given birth to a child.But Lee still comforted her, telling her that the second child was easier than the first.

The weather is getting hotter day by day, Fang Yumin still feels very hot even in a modern tailored short shirt and cropped pants.Maybe it's because she's pregnant, she's sweating when she moves a little bit.At this time last year, Fang Yumin didn't feel how hot it was.Now she kind of wants to make the house near the small river in Linjia Village, the house is big enough, the beams are high enough, how cool it is when the wind blows in!
After waking up again in the middle of the night, Fang Yumin decided that she would move back to Linjiacun and not come back until the child was born and confinement.

In fact, this decision is not a temporary decision, Fang Yumin made the decision after consideration.There are two Wen women who deliver babies in Linjia Village, and Wen women are also taught by the mother-in-law, and the daughter-in-law teaches the daughter-in-law. Almost all the children in the village are delivered by them.So is Xiao Ming.This is also one of the reasons why Fang Yumin moved back to live. If the child in her stomach moved suddenly, she would not know what would happen when Lin Qiu came to pick up Mrs. Wen. It was dangerous!

Wiping the sweat that came out of her forehead again, Fang Yumin said to Lin Qiu: "Tomorrow I will take Mama Li, Xiaoyue and Xiaofeng back to live in Lin's Village, and I will not move back until after the child is born. When you are on vacation, come back to stay for one night, go fishing, and play poker. Don't worry about me, there is really something wrong, and there is Aunt Chunhua."

"Isn't it good to live here? You're going back. Xiaoming and Xiaoyang and I can only see you once in a few days." Lin Qiulai went to twist a wet cloth to Fang Yumin.

"It's too hot here and I can't sleep." Fang Yumin touched her swollen belly, which was also sweating.She looked at Lin Qiu and said, "The expected date of delivery is at the end of September and the beginning of October, and it is already mid-July now. If the belly is a little bigger, it is not suitable to go out, let alone travel such a long distance in a carriage."

Lin Qiulai knew that Fang Yumin's decision would not change, so he nodded: "Okay, I will send you back to Linjiacun tomorrow. Xiaohua and Taohua have been cleaning our house for a long time, but there is no need to clean it anymore. Just change the bed sheets and curtains.”

Fang Yumin couldn't help smiling when she heard this: "Xiaohua and Taohua are both good children. Anyway, I'm free when I get home. I will teach Taohua how to make dim sum when I have time, and by the way, I will spread the word about her good craftsmanship, so that in two years, I will come to say hello to her." The second sister-in-law will be able to talk about a good marriage for Taohua."

"Yes, the second brother's family has just built a new house, so you don't have to worry about Xiaohua's marriage." Lin Qiulai suddenly laughed, and Fang Yumin said, "Xiao Min, someone has already asked about our two The son is engaged and gone. How old are they?"

Fang Yumin couldn't help but think of her two sons. In ancient times, rural boys were 16 years old, and girls were 11 or [-] years old before they could get married.Xiao Yang is only [-] years old this year, and Xiao Ming is even younger, only nine years old. Getting married?It's still far away.

"Maybe it looks like our family has become rich." Fang Yumin smiled lightly, "Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang will be admitted to Jinshi in the future, what kind of marriage are they talking about now? If they are in high school, they may be appointed as son-in-law by the emperor. What about this marriage? Don’t we force our son to be Chen Shimei?”

Lin Qiulai couldn't help laughing, and asked again: "Who is Chen Shimei?"

Fang Yumin said word by word: "A dead bastard who abandoned his poor wife for the sake of glory and wealth!"

Lin Qiulai was stunned, and then grinned widely. He held Fang Yumin's face and kissed it several times, and said, "Sleep a little longer, and I'll fan you."

"okay."

Lin Qiulai helped Fang Yumin to lie down. Although the weather was hot, the thin quilt still had to cover her stomach so as not to catch a cold.

The next day when Fang Yumin woke up, the sun was already high. Li Ma, Xiaoyue and Xiaofeng had already packed up their clothes and supplies, and they just waited for Fang Yumin to have breakfast before leaving.

An extra layer of quilt has been added to the carriage, and a summer mat has been spread.Put on a cute or long or round or heart-shaped pillow, so that Fang Yumin can sit comfortably in the car.

As soon as Lin Qiulai's carriage drove into Linjia Village, the old people sat under the banyan tree at the head of the village, gossiped or dozed off, and the old people became energetic. Although they didn't have a few teeth, they spoke loudly: "Qiu Lai, why are you free?" Come back?"

"Hey, daughter-in-law Qiulai, do you have it?" A woman with sharp eyes saw Fang Yumin who opened the curtain to enjoy the shade. The obvious bulge of the belly made women with rich pregnancy experience spot it at a glance.

"Yes, yes." Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin nodded with a smile.

A woman clapped her hands and grinned toothlessly: "Oh, Cuihua has nothing to say now."

"That's right, Xiao Ming won't be alone anymore."

Everyone got together again to have a hot chat in Bala bala bala, and some people gossiped about going to notify Zhang Cuihua, even Lin Qiulai didn't pay attention to the carriage passing by.

There were three black lines on Fang Yumin's forehead. Is the decision to wait in the village right or wrong?

Li Ma said, "The scenery here is really beautiful. It's really much cooler than in the county. Even though the sun is scorching, the wind is still very comfortable."

Fang Yumin picked up a candied apricot and took a bite.Well, she admitted that this place is really much cooler than Confucian Garden.And it has a wide field of vision.The rice and corn stretch as far as the eye can see, and the continuous foothills in the distance.As soon as I entered the village, I heard the barking of a certain dog, the laughing and crying of children, and the shouting and shouting of adults. It was really lively.

The carriage stopped at the door, and Lin Qiulai tied the reins to the post at the door, then opened the curtain, and helped Fang Yumin get out of the car.

As soon as the door was opened, Xiaohua and Taohua who heard the sound had already run over: "Third Uncle, Third Aunt, you are back."

Fang Yumin nodded with a smile, took Taohua's hand and said: "Let's go into the house together. It's really thanks to you who often help Third Aunt clean the house. It's so clean that I can stay here as soon as I come back."

Xiaohua and Taohua were a little embarrassed by Fang Yumin's praise, and seeing Xiaofeng carrying a lot of luggage, they wondered why the third aunt was pregnant and why did she go back to the village?So he asked, "Third Aunt, how many days are you coming back for?"

"Let's stay until the baby is born. The village is much cooler than the county, so it's comfortable here."

"Really? That's great." Xiaohua and Taohua laughed happily.

"Are you so happy?" Fang Yumin was also a little stunned, saying that she came back to live and not Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang came back to live, so happy?

"Yeah, it's much more lively with the third aunt here." Xiaohua and Taohua nodded.

Uh?lively?

At this time, Zhang Cuihua's loud voice came from outside the door, accompanied by heavy footsteps: "Qiu Lai, Qiu Lai, they said your wife is pregnant."
