She is now almost seven months old, and her belly is already very pregnant. Now she can no longer wear any of her previous clothes, so she can only make herself a suit-sized one.
After her belly got a lot bigger, Shen Gongqi stopped letting her work in the fields.
Fang Nuo saw that there were a lot of things in her vegetable patch that needed to be picked and stored, so she agreed.
The autumn harvest came soon. Shen Gongqi went out early and came back late every day. Fang Nuo gave him three meals a day in the fields.
Shen Gongqi felt a little stressed. Thinking that his wife was about to give birth and she would open her mouth to eat, he had to work harder.
So now he received twenty work points a day. He would go to the fields in the morning before it was fully lighted, and only when it was almost dark at night would he finish all the work and go home.
Fang Nuo was a little angry and felt sorry for him when he saw that he had lost all the dried meat she had managed to raise for him in a few days.
"Brother Qi, can you do less work tomorrow? If you go out early and come back late every day, working day and night, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it. I'm also worried about you doing this." That day, Fang Nuo was lying on the bed He said in his arms
"I'm fine, don't worry," Shen Gongqi said
"I don't care. You said before that after you get married, you will listen to me in everything. I just don't want you to work so hard. Even if you get five less work points, it's fine." Seeing that he didn't agree to her, Fang Nuo wanted to make a fuss. .
"Okay, okay, I will listen to you from now on. Don't be angry. You are still pregnant. It's not good for you to be angry." Shen Gongqi hurriedly comforted you.
"Really? Don't lie to me," Fang Nuo asked.
"Well, wife, I think after you give birth to the child, I will go to the county to find a job. Then I will look for a small courtyard in the city and buy it with our family's savings. You can take the child to live in the city. This way our family can see each other every day." Shen Gongqi expressed his thoughts.
He had planned this before, but Fang Nuo was still young in her pregnancy at that time, and he was afraid of changes later, so he didn't say it out earlier.
Now that he saw his wife worried that she had damaged her body, the idea came to her again.
"Okay, as long as you are here, I am willing to go anywhere," Fang Nuo replied
"Well, you only have 20 days to go before giving birth. When the autumn harvest is over, we will go to the county hospital to stay," Shen Gongqi said.
Fang Nuo thought for a moment, and realized that the autumn harvest would be over in more than ten days. By then, it would take another three days to deliver public grain and distribute grain.
There were only five days to prepare before the due date, so it was really time to go to the hospital and wait.
What she fears most now is that the child will come out early, and Shen Gongqi will have to ask for leave.
After saying this, the two of them rested. Shen Gongqi had to go to work in the fields the next day.
Since what she said last night, Shen Gongqi has indeed been obedient and has received a lot less work.
The captain was also worried that he would destroy his body, and he had tried to persuade him before, but this boy just didn't listen.
I don't know why he changed his mind this time. It was good for him, so the captain didn't say anything.
There were many people in their village who were good at work, so he never had to worry about not being able to finish the work on time.
Time went like this, another two days passed.
Fang Nuo was at home that day and was going to pick all the red peppers in the vegetable field.
When I got up in the morning, I washed up and made breakfast. I first gave breakfast to Shen Gongqi in the field.
After he finishes eating, take the bowl and chopsticks back home.
Fang Nuo found an apron and put it on, then carried the empty basket into the pepper field.
I started to pick red peppers. After picking a basket full, I put it on the tarpaulin spread in the yard to dry in the sun.
After a while, Yaya woke up and called her in the room.
Fang Nuo washed his hands and walked into the room: "You're awake."
"Yeah, mommy hugs"
Yaya reached out for her to hug, and Fang Nuo picked her up from the quilt, sat by the kang, and put her clothes on.
After fully dressing Yaya, he took her out of the house and into the yard. Fang Nuo said, "Sit here for a while while mommy goes to get you some water to wash up, okay?"
"good"
Fang Nuo poured water for her to wash up, and then went to bring her breakfast. He placed her rice bowl on a higher bench and let her eat by herself.
Yaya was sitting at the door of the house eating breakfast, while Fang Nuo continued to pick peppers with the basket.
After picking all the peppers, it was almost noon.
Fang Nuo took Yaya to the kitchen and let her play under his nose while she started preparing lunch.
Thinking that Shen Gongqi had been doing manual labor recently, she chopped a bacon chicken and stewed radishes today.
The chicken is stewed below, and the steamed buns are steamed on top.
In another pot, she fried an egg with wild garlic leaves, and then fried cabbage.
Three dishes are enough for a family. When ready, pack the lunch box and put it in the basket.
She picked up the basket and took Yaya to the backyard to pick three more melons. She brought a pot of herbal tea that had been prepared long ago and went out to deliver meals to the fields.
When they arrived at the edge of the field assigned by Shen Gongqi, Fang Nuo first found a place under the shade of a tree, put down the basket, and then called Shen Gongqi into the field to come and eat.
When he responded, she started to spread the floor cloth, then took out the food and laid it out. After Shen Gongqi came over and washed his hands, she opened the lid of the lunch box.
"It's so rich today," Shen Gongqi said when he saw today's dishes.
"Well, you do physical work every day, so why don't you supplement some nutrition? Anyway, we still have a lot of bacon, fish, and bacon at home. It won't taste good after the New Year, so we can just cook it and eat it." Fang Nuo said
"Well, then you eat more. It's very hard for you to be pregnant with the child," Shen Gongqi said.
"Well, I won't treat myself badly, so hurry up and eat it," Fang Nuo said
After the family had lunch, they sat and rested for a while. After eating the melon, Fang Nuo took Yaya back.
Not long after returning home, Yaya started to take a nap.
Fang Nuo braided the peppers he picked in the morning into skewers and hung them on the wall to dry. After they were completely dry, he put them in the kitchen and hung them up, picking them again when it was time to eat.
Soon the autumn harvest was over, and Fang Nuo's due date was only a few days away. Shen Gongqi's family was preparing to leave for the county and go to the hospital to await delivery.
This time they also brought Aunt Dahua. As for the family, they invited Wang Junyu to stay at home at night and help look after the house for a few days.
When going to the county, Shen Gongqi listened to Aunt Dahua and brought all the eggs at home.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no place to cook in the county, they would have brought the chickens with them.
Now the only thing I can do is get some eggs and go to the hospital cafeteria to ask the chef to steam them. It’s too troublesome to hire someone to stew the chicken.
The three adults rushed to the county with little Yaya and a lot of things.
They went to the hospital first, and after admitting Fang Nuo, Shen Gongqi took Aunt Dahua to a nearby guest house and booked a room with the letter of introduction from the team leader.
This is also convenient for Aunt Dahua to take Yaya to rest here at night.
