Sun Yuxiu was really afraid that Yang Lina would come to help, so she quickly asked Li Jingcheng to move the table to the yard to serve food.
Yang Lina helped arrange the bowls and chopsticks neatly, and the family gathered together to eat happily.
"Sister-in-law, please eat more meat and mushrooms."
Sun Yuxiu diligently picked up vegetables for Yang Lina. Yang Lina held a bowl and ate the beancurd made by Sun Yuxiu. The green onions, ginger, garlic and chili noodles were splashed with hot oil, but with the fresh fragrance of old vinegar, the smooth and tender beancurds were instant in her mouth.
It tastes really great.
There are also wild shiitake mushrooms and hazel mushrooms in the chicken stewed mushrooms. They absorb the rich soup and put it in your mouth. The texture is firm and bursting, making it difficult to stop using chopsticks.
Yang Lina tasted the food in front of her slowly. She thought that Li Jingming might have something to do in the afternoon, so she said, "Are you going to be busy at the brick and tile factory for a while in the afternoon?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Li Jingming thought that Yang Lina was in a hurry to return to the city. If there was something going on in the city, they would leave after eating.
"No, I mean if you are busy, then go and be busy. I want to go to the mountains with Yuxiu to pick some mushrooms in the afternoon, and I also want to pick some peach gum."
The peach gum can be stored for several years after being harvested. She had already eaten so much of it before, so this visit was just an opportunity to pick some more and put them in the refrigerator. Occasionally, when making snacks, she would cook some peach gum.
Eating together makes me feel comfortable just thinking about it.
"Then I'll go with you after dinner."
Li Jingming thought that he had never accompanied his daughter-in-law to the mountains before, so he thought about going with her today.
"What about your brick and tile factory?"
"Don't worry, it will be over soon."
Li Jingming put a chicken claw into Yang Lina's bowl.
"Oh well."
Li Jingxuan on the side said excitedly: "I'll go too. I'll go too."
Second sister-in-law, you can go too."
Li Jingxuan thought about the crowd and shouted like a child from the side.
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you too."
Seeing Li Jingxuan's excitement, Li Jingcheng couldn't help but said: "I think you are really stupid in studying. What's so exciting about following him into the woods?"
"Second brother, you don't understand. When we were young, when this season came and it rained at night, we would go up the mountain to pick mushrooms in the forest the next day. This is a kind of sentiment."
When Li Jingxuan mentioned feelings, Li Jingcheng snorted coldly.
"What kind of guy is he talking about? I don't understand what nonsense he talks about."
Sun Yuxiu said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't understand. If you can understand, we will have one more college student in our family."
Sun Yuxiu finished speaking, causing several other people to laugh.
It had been a long time since she had eaten rice cooked with firewood, and Yang Lina couldn't help but take two more bites.
Sun Yuxiu didn't seem to have a good appetite. She ate half a bowl of vegetable tofu and didn't even taste the chicken on the plate.
Yang Lina added a chicken leg to Sun Yuxiu.
"Yuxiu, please eat more. You have a very busy day."
Yang Lina said, Sun Yuxiu looked at the muscles in the bowl with a confused expression. She seemed to hesitate, and then smiled sheepishly at Yang Lina.
"Sister-in-law, I've been feeling sick to my stomach recently and can't digest meat. Let Jingcheng eat this piece of meat."
"That's it, then you can eat more food."
Yang Lina really thought that Sun Yuxiu had an upset stomach, and felt a little sorry for her in her heart.
Sun Yuxiu put two spoons of chili pepper into her bowl, but before putting the green tofu into her mouth, she covered her mouth with a painful expression on her face and ran out of the yard.
Yang Lina saw that something was wrong. Could this be happening again?
Yang Lina gave Li Jingcheng a confused look and hurriedly chased him out, followed by Li Jingxuan.
"Xiu'er, are you pregnant again?"
Yang Lina patted Sun Yuxiu's back. Sun Yuxiu's face turned sallow, she didn't say a word, and then started vomiting.
After Sun Yuxiu finished vomiting the contents of her stomach, she stood up and held her waist, looking very tired.
Yang Lina supported Sun Yuxiu, and Li Jingxuan on the side quickly took out a shovel, shoveled two shovels of soil, and covered Sun Yuxiu's vomit.
"Xiu'er, do you really have a child?"
"Sister-in-law, have you seen it all?"
"You've vomited like this. If I can't see it anymore, then you really have a vision problem.
How many months has it been?"
Yang Lina was surprised and happy, but she couldn't help but worry.
"Almost three months."
Sun Yuxiu was helped into the yard by Yang Lina, and Li Jingcheng handed her a glass of warm water.
"Drink something quickly and rinse your mouth."
Sun Yuxiu took it and drank a glass of water, which made her stomach feel better.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? The first few months of pregnancy are the most important. You have to take care of the baby alone and make tofu, so you don't have to worry about being tired."
While Yang Lina felt extremely sorry for Sun Yuxiu, she couldn't help but blame her.
She actually kept such a big pregnancy secret to herself for three months.
"Sister-in-law, it's not that I didn't tell you. Mom is taking care of your confinement period, and you still have to go to work. There are two children at home, and Aunt Xue is too busy by herself. I'm embarrassed to open my mouth to say this?"
Besides, it’s nothing, I can do it alone for now.”
Sun Yuxiu really didn't want to cause trouble to Yang Lina. When she was pregnant with her first child, her mother-in-law had been taking care of her with all her heart, and even helped her look after the child until it was two years old. Now that her sister-in-law's child is still young, she is pregnant again.
Originally, Sun Yuxiu wanted to take away the child secretly, but she was reluctant to let it go. After much deliberation, she decided to give birth to him secretly.
"Xiu'er, you are so stupid."
Yang Lina is very grateful that Sun Yuxiu understands her so well. They are sisters-in-law, but when they get along, they are like sisters. Both parties understand their respective difficulties.
"Sister-in-law, it's not easy for you either. I can take care of myself now.
Don't worry about me, just go and have something to eat."
Yang Lina said with some self-blame: "Then what do you want to eat, I will do it.
If I had known you couldn't see the meat, I wouldn't have eaten it for you."
"I'll just eat some steamed buns soaked in boiled water later. It will make my stomach feel better."
"You can do it."
Yang Lina was a person who had been there and knew that people in the early stages of pregnancy should not force themselves to eat, so she did not dissuade her.
After the meal was finished, Yang Lina was just about to help clear away the dishes and wash the dishes, when Li Jingxuan was already standing by the stove and washing the dishes.
Yang Lina smiled helplessly, everyone was rushing to work, she had the illusion that she was a waste.
On Li Jingming's side, the two brothers stood at the door, watching Guo Qiang playing with someone else's hen at the door.
"Brother, please keep an eye on it for me when you get back. I want to buy a house in the city. Xiu'er's belly is getting bigger every day. You know that family planning checks are strict. I want her to secretly give birth to the child in the county."
Li Jingcheng thought about it and decided that this was the best way to protect Sun Yuxiu.
"Okay, I'll ask you about it when I get back.
The same goes for you, Xiu'er didn't even know to tell her mother when she was pregnant, you are really heartless."
