The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

The broken bowl of Li's accidental dropping did not interrupt this happy event. When Mrs. Gu heard the sound of the bowl breaking, she only said "It's good to break, it's safe, it's safe, my new grandson will be born safely." If it were in normal times, Mrs. Gu would definitely still nag a few words, saying that she was so old, but she couldn't even hold the bowl steadily. But now is different from the past. This matter is like you passed the postgraduate entrance examination, but you dropped a dollar when you went out. It didn't cause any fluctuations. Everyone was immersed in joy. The Gu family hadn't had a child for a long time, and it had been seven or eight years since the youngest Chunni was born. How could people not be happy? But Chen was very scared, thinking that it was not certain yet. What if she was not pregnant and it was a misunderstanding? Wouldn't it be spread out and people would laugh at her!

But the Gu family didn't care so much. They thought that since Chen didn't have her period last month, she was weak and liked to eat sour food, she must be pregnant. Seeing Chen's unbelievable look, Old Lady Gu got up and prepared to go to the town to ask for a doctor without eating.

Chen couldn't stand this. Asking for a doctor here was a big deal. Only when a person was dying would they ask for a doctor. Now she was just suspected of being pregnant and asked for a doctor, which seemed too hypocritical. Besides, she didn't ask for a doctor when she gave birth to Gu Liang and Gu Dani, and Li gave birth to Er Ni and Chun Ni. After so many years of giving birth, why did she care about this one!

Old Lady Gu couldn't persuade Chen, so she had to give up. Chen had her own plans in mind. She was also very proud. If she asked the doctor to come back and find out whether she was pregnant or not, wouldn't it be a great shame? It was okay for her family, but she was afraid that the ladies outside would know about it.

Seeing this, Gu Liang secretly thought of an idea. After all, pregnancy was not a trivial matter. Although for the people here, pregnancy was no big deal, they would work when they should work, and they would not stop you from farming because you were pregnant.

Since Gu Liang's mother was found to be pregnant, the food of the Gu family has been improved. Not to mention that every meal was cooked with refined rice, the eggs laid by the more than ten chickens that Mrs. Gu bought from the village could not be eaten up.

These more than ten chickens were bought by Mrs. Gu in advance for Chen to use for confinement. If they were raised for a few more months, they would lay more eggs. Logically, in their poor countryside, it was considered a good job for the daughter-in-law to eat a chicken during confinement.

But the reason why Mrs. Gu bought so much was because the Gu family hadn't had a baby for seven or eight years, and with a house full of girls, there were inevitably some gossips outside, saying that the Gu family was not blessed...

Although Mrs. Gu didn't care too much about these words, it was just that the two daughters-in-law had not made any movement for seven or eight years, and she felt that it was not good for a long time. In the past, the family was poor, and the daughter-in-law could only eat twelve pumpkins during the confinement period. Now the family is different from before, and they can afford twelve chickens, so they should treat them well.

At this time, in the room of Li and Gu Changan, Li Donghua was picking up the items scattered on the ground.

Li Donghua originally wanted to come in and persuade her sister to work harder. She looked at what Mrs. Gu did after she learned that the eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant, and naturally knew that Mrs. Gu still hoped that there would be more descendants. Even if she usually said that it was enough for the two daughters-in-law to give birth to so many children, but she was happier than anyone else when she really met them again.

When she first came to the Gu family, she had nagged her sister many times, asking her to work harder. It's just that her sister is carefree, and she is living under someone else's roof, so it's not good to say anything more.

However, before Li Donghua had time to persuade her this time, she saw the mess on the floor as soon as she entered her sister's room, scattered clothes, drooping quilts, Zhu Furen falling to the ground, and Li sitting on the bed with her hands hugging her knees without saying a word.

Seeing this scene, Li Donghua swallowed back the words that were in her throat. Others don't know, but how can she not know what her sister is like? Two days ago, when Mrs. Gu said that Chen was pregnant, Li broke the bowl, and she knew how much her sister cared about having another child.

Li Donghua sat on the bed, stretched out her hand to hug her sister Li in her arms, and gently patted her back to comfort her.

"Sister~" Li raised her head and stretched out the tail tone with a trembling voice to call her sister. She had long broken off relations with her natal family, and Li Donghua was her only natal family.

Li Donghua looked at Li's red and swollen eyes and knew that she had been crying for a long time. Then she looked at what she was holding in her arms and felt distressed.

What Li was holding in her arms was a pair of tiger-head shoes, which were fluffy and very cute. According to local customs, children should wear tiger-head shoes. Tigers are the most ferocious animals and can naturally ward off disasters.

It can ward off evil spirits. When children wear it, they will have a guardian angel, drive away the little ghosts and get sick less often.

"It's okay, sister," Li Donghua comforted Li gently in her ear: "You are a few years younger than your sister-in-law. She can do it, so can you. Wait a little longer. Besides, these tiger-head shoes should be made by your family. I haven't made them yet. When I finish, 'he' will be in your belly..."

"Mom, I'm back." With a crisp voice, a tall figure flashed at the door of Gu's house, walked through the door, and went straight to the kitchen.

Mrs. Gu was frying small fish in the kitchen at this time, preparing to stew soup for Chen. Recently, the weather was dry and there were few fish. She went to the village to ask those who repaired the dikes to make up a pot of small fish. Old lady Gu was stunned for a moment. After seeing who was coming, she said quickly, "Hey, Xier, why are you back?"

Gu Boxi reached out to grab the fried fish in the pot and replied to Old lady Gu, "Mom, didn't you ask Dad to pick me up?"

"When did I ask you to come back? This old man is really annoying. I don't know if you are learning medicine from a master. He always does these things." Old lady Gu scolded with a smile on her face. At the same time, she called her son and said, "Hey, don't eat it. This is for your sister-in-law. It's just this little. If you eat it, what will your sister-in-law eat!"

Being Gu Boxi, who was despised by his own mother, pretended to be unhappy and said, "As expected, grandsons are closer to me than sons. They brought me from the temple to my sister-in-law to check her pregnancy, but they didn't even give me a dried fish to eat. It's too cruel!"

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she clapped her hands excitedly and said, "This damn old man finally did a good thing. How could I forget that my youngest son is also a doctor now?"

It turned out that Gu Liang felt that his mother didn't want to see a doctor, so he suggested that the old man Gu take his third uncle Gu Boxi back to check his mother's pulse and prescribe some medicine to prevent accidents.

In a blink of an eye, Gu Boxi checked his sister-in-law's pulse.

Gu Boxi has been studying medicine with Taoist Lingxu for a long time. He did nothing but study medicine all day. He was focused and had a little talent, so he could be considered to have learned a lot in such a long time. However, he mostly memorized the properties of medicines and learned techniques in the temple, and had little practical experience. Except for the villagers from Taohuachong at the foot of the mountain who occasionally came to see him, he had no extra practical experience.

So Gu Boxi felt Chen's pulse for a long time, and after clearly feeling the slippery pulse like beads running on a plate, and after looking, smelling, and asking, he confirmed that Chen was pregnant.

Although everyone had long thought that Chen was pregnant, everyone was still dancing with joy after Gu Boxi's confirmation.

However, Gu Boxi also diagnosed a small problem with Chen, which was anemia and qi deficiency that women in ancient times often had due to hard work and lack of food. So Gu Boxi also prescribed a prescription called Xiao Jianzhong Decoction to regulate Chen's qi and blood.

Xiao Jianzhong Decoction contains drugs such as white peony, cinnamon twig, licorice, and ginger. The Gu family has always had white peony, which was used by Gu Liang to stew meat, and Gu Liang also stockpiled a lot of cinnamon twigs and licorice because of the famine, so they could just take them out for use. After all, licorice is the "national elder" among Chinese medicinal materials and is known as the "king of all medicines." How can we not stock up more!
