The weather is getting colder, and Tian Jing wants to go into the mountains to break corn.
Mother Li looked a little worried at her daughter-in-law's belly.
Unexpectedly, Tiantian was still the same as before, and she and her son were brought into the eagle's mouth with one hand.
Li Min jumped, why did he keep her? She also wanted to work.
This time the corn was chopped and hung directly on the shelf in the kitchen cave.
Li Zhengguo made many racks, which are very suitable for drying corn and bacon.
Of course, Tian Jing finally ate the boiled corn that she had been thinking about so much, and there was finally a big iron pot in the cave kitchen.
Xiao Song was very curious about Tian Jing's belly.
When her mother-in-law was taking a bath in the hot spring, Tian Jing went out of her way to answer her questions.
Xiaosong expressed his surprise. Why don't humans grow automatically like they drop seeds?
Tian Jing "..."
…
Mother Li does not support planting in the hot spring area. There is no shortage of food at home for the time being, and there is a lot of food stored in the cave. Moreover, it is inconvenient for her daughter-in-law to enter the mountain in winter.
Li Zhengguo also agreed. Tiantian’s belly was more than six months old and half a basketball was bulging out. He looked happy and worried at the same time.
She was happy when she felt the fetal movements, but worried about the pain Tiantian would experience. Moreover, there was no health center or midwives in their Kushan area, so they relied on older women to deliver babies.
After knowing her husband's concerns, Tian Jing said, "I will fly you to the town."
"no."
"no."
Li's mother and Li Zhengguo unanimously rejected it.
Mother Li took her daughter-in-law's hand and analyzed her carefully, "Tiantian, it hurts more than anything else for a woman to give birth to a baby. When it starts, the pain is enough to kill a person. I wish I could squat on the ground. You don't want to."
He might even take us flying out."
Li Zhengguo nodded, "Let's stay in the town in advance, no, in the county."
"No." Li's mother objected, "I have calculated that Tiantian's due date is in the twelfth lunar month. There are few patients in health centers and hospitals at that time. Except for emergency departments, there are not many doctors and nurses. If the big furnace in the hospital does not burn,
,How can I live in the ward?"
Tian Jing nodded in agreement, "Yes, the baby will be cold. I'll ask my mother to deliver the baby to me at home, and we'll buy sanitary products."
Mother Li patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, I'll call the big cow girl to make sure everything is fine."
The words of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not reassure Li Zhengguo.
After Tian Jing sent her mother-in-law home, she grabbed a handful of ginseng seeds and took Li Zhengguo into the mountains again.
The last bottle of ginseng essence has been used up long ago. She has been busy harvesting crops recently, so she has not used it again. Moreover, she is also worried that the baby in her belly will be too big. Don’t they say that it will be difficult to give birth to a baby that is too big?
Since she decided to give birth at home, she and the baby must be strong. When Brother Zheng was worried, she decided to take a small amount of supplements.
Leave some essence behind for delivery.
Li Zhengguo was still worried and actually discussed with Xiao Song about getting tree core essence.
Tian Jing couldn't laugh or cry. Two guys who couldn't communicate were discussing her affairs and asked her to be a translator.
Although Xiaosong's flesh (tree) hurt, he agreed generously.
Tian Jing didn't think it was necessary, but Ren Yisong had already decided.
Xiaosong is also worried that if something happens to Tiantian, he will have no companion to chat with.
After Li Zhengguo took half of the tea jar's core essence, he generously called it full.
"Fill it full and ask Tian Tian to help me transfer some plant energy later. I'll just have a good sleep."
Listening to the trembling in Xiaosong's voice, Tian Jing's heart was touched. They say that humans are not grass and trees, and how can they be ruthless? But plants and trees are also sentimental.
Tian Jing did not help Xiaosong translate, but told Li Zhengguo that half a tea jar was enough. It was almost the essence of the tree core that brought the dead back to life. It would be a disaster if it was left in the hands.
Li Zhengguo obediently put the essence of the tree core into another wine bottle, blocked it with a homemade cork, and sealed it with wax.
Tian Jing sent a lot of plant energy to Xiaosong, which made Xiaosong burp and then fall into sleep.
The tree core essence is temporarily placed at Xiaolu's feet, and she will come in to get it when it is close to the due date.
…
Mother Li started to get busy. About one hundred kilograms of lint at home had been bounced back from the county.
Of course it was Xiaohu who helped, because he had a car and it was very convenient to pick up the vegetables. Moreover, his boss had told him before he left, so he always came to ask if there was anything he needed help with.
Mother Li was busy making her grandson's quilts and clothes, as well as the quilts her daughter-in-law mentioned, so she had no time to take care of her daughter's quilts.
Li Min could only drag Mrs. Niu to help.
Mother Li mentioned to Mrs. Niu by the way that she would be called over to help deliver the baby, and Mrs. Niu agreed without hesitation.
When Tian Jing saw Mrs. Niu touching the cotton wool with envy on her face, she asked her to get ten kilograms and use them back, and then return them to her family after they grow them next year.
Sister-in-law Niu was moved, but she asked, "Is it enough for you to make the baby's quilt?"
"Enough, enough."
She took the opportunity to give Xiaohu five sacks of lint cotton, and Xiaohu carefully put it back in about ten cotton bags. No one could estimate how much fluffy cotton there was.
"Then I won't be polite."
Mrs. Niu carried half a bag of cotton wool back home, and everyone who paid attention noticed it.
But no one dared to open their mouths. After all, Tian Jing gave them cotton seeds. Next year, they will all have cotton.
Sister-in-law Niu came to Li's house to help for half a month. Not only did she help Li Min make two quilts, but she also helped make the baby's clothes.
Cotton jackets, cotton trousers and cotton waistcoats, in short, everything that can be used has been made. There is no shortage of cotton or fabric in the house.
After the Li family fully developed, Tian Jing secretly removed all the fabrics from the cave on Qingsongyan.
In addition to the materials that Ouyang Lei sent, he could guess that Tian Daxia was lacking supplies, and he would send them, making Li Zhengguo glare at him with anger.
It was Li Zhengguo's idea to deceive someone into going to the south. Tian Jing followed her husband's idea and deceived him. Anyway, it was better to go earlier than later.
Those who are well-informed will go in the second half of 1978. Ouyang Lei will go more than a year in advance and will not be bullied by those second-generation officials.
Tian Jing told herself that what she did was completely correct and she was definitely not spoiling a man.
With the help of Mrs. Niu, Mother Li pretended to change the quilt for herself, so she sewed four more quilts of two kinds, thick and thin.
When Mrs. Niu thought she was done with her work and would not come, Mother Li sewed two more kang quilts.
It was busy until mid-November, when the weather cooled down completely, every household burned a kang, and the Li family’s new kang was also put into use.
Mother Li took time to make cotton-padded jackets for her son again. This year, her son was finally able to wear a cotton-padded jacket.
…
Before the work here was over, Li Rongguo came over to announce the good news, "Third Aunt, Meimei must be pregnant."
Mother Li stood up excitedly, "Have you seen the doctor?"
"No, Meimei is too embarrassed to go."
"No, you must go see her. I'll go with her."
When Mother Li came back, she was smiling so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. "Tiantian, your sister-in-law is really pregnant. Amitabha, please bless her to give birth to a boy, and Rongguo's waist will be straighter."
Regarding Ouyang Meihua, no matter what her mother-in-law did, Tian Jing could not be jealous. She was an unfeminine woman who was not short of money and would not be jealous. She was not worried about her sisters-in-law at all.
"Mom, when the first cousin moved here, you couldn't see the quilt. Although the first cousin has a dowry, there shouldn't be anything the baby needs."
"Xiaohu also said that they can't get a few kilograms of cotton. You can give some cotton to the lobby sister-in-law. Uh, no, the lobby sister-in-law doesn't know how to sew."
"When you have nothing to do, slowly make quilts and clothes for the baby. She will definitely have no shortage of cotton there."
