"You are so good at eating, have you never had enough to eat in Lao Yan's house?" Yan Jiecheng asked.
"No, I was almost full before. In the past few days, I started to be able to eat more." Yu Li said.
"I'll bring you more peaches and grapes when you can eat them, and you'll be full. I can't starve you even if I'm hungry, don't you think so?" Yan Jiecheng said.
"Do you think I won't look good if I gain weight?" Yu Li said.
"Not to mention whether you look good or not, you also need to be able to gain weight. Look at how many fat people there are in the courtyard! If you want to gain weight, you must not only eat enough but also eat well. The old Yan family does not have this condition yet.
." Yan Jiecheng said.
Waiting until dinner in the evening, Yu Li forgot about the fact that she might have gained weight when she saw the old Yan family eating two steamed buns. Although pregnant women today are not as delicate as those in later generations, it would still be okay for normal people to provide them with more nutrition.
It's fair distribution. The family tradition of Lao Yan's family seems very impersonal at this time.
"Are you not full?" Yan Jiecheng asked Yu Li when he returned to his room.
"It's okay." Yu Li said with an ugly face.
"I've prepared biscuits and duck eggs for you, and I'll give you some walnuts to supplement your brain," Yan Jiecheng said.
"How do you think your family's calculations are so clear?" Yu Li said.
"I have already said that my father is stingy. Before I started working, he supported the six members of the Yan family by himself. He could not live his life by calculating. He has developed the habit of calculating for decades. If you want to change, you must change.
But now that we are here, let’s just get used to it and understand it. Now I’m not full for dinner, so I just came back to take some nutritious supplements.” Yan Jiecheng said.
"Don't worry, I can adapt and understand. Was life in the old Yan family so difficult before?" Yu Li said.
"It's more difficult than you think. In the past, Lao Yan's family was the skinniest in the courtyard. Now it's a little better. He Yuyu is the thinnest. My father is a man of culture and is embarrassed to cry for poverty. Of course, Lao Yan's family is not pretty either.
There will be no one to help the widow when she cries about poverty, so she can't live her life carefully." Yan Jiecheng said.
"Our family's life will become more prosperous as time goes by," Yu Li said.
"I don't mean to tell you this for any other reason. I just want you not to worry. Our parents have done a good job within their capabilities. As long as you can understand the reasons for their calculations," Yan Jiecheng said.
"Okay, I'm full, let's take a shower and go to bed." Yu Li said.
When the weekend came, Yan Jiecheng asked Yu Li: "You are pregnant, do you still want to go to your parents' house?"
"Go, I'm just pregnant now, so it won't affect anything. It won't be so convenient to go there in the future," Yu Li said.
"Okay, just wait. I'm going to buy something. When we get back, we'll take the bus directly there." Yan Jiecheng said.
The two of them brought their things to Lao Yu's house, but Yu's mother was the only one at home.
"Mom, where are my dad, Haitang, and Yu Peng? Why is there no one at home today?" Yu Li said.
"The two of them followed your dad to the department store to buy bicycles." Yu's mother said with a smile.
"Our family is going to buy a bicycle!" Yu Li asked happily after hearing this.
"Your dad and I originally planned to buy a bicycle, but then you got pregnant again. I thought it would be convenient to visit you with a bicycle, so I borrowed some industrial coupons and bought it in advance," Yu Ma said.
"It's good to buy a bicycle. It's convenient for traveling. When did they go and when will they come back," Yu Li said.
"You left quite early. If you don't go play, you will be back soon. How have you been these past few days? Do you feel nauseous often or have severe reactions?" Yu Ma said.
"I told my dad and asked him to tell you not to worry about me. I'm fine in everything, I'm basically not sick at all," Yu Li said.
"That's good. I was worried that you would be like the Li family's daughter-in-law who was pregnant and couldn't even eat." Yu Ma said.
"No, I don't eat fast enough. Now I have eaten too much and I get hungry easily." Yu Li said.
Only then did Yan Jiecheng realize that he was a little more embarrassed that his father was not at home. Mother and daughter were chatting without caring about him, so they could only find a newspaper to read by themselves.
Yu's mother told Yu Li about her various pregnancy experiences that she had heard from her. One of them talked and the other listened, and they also arranged some tasks for Yan Jiecheng from time to time.
Yan Jiecheng said in his heart, brother, please come back quickly. I will play chess with you. When I come back, I will let you win two more games. Yu Peng, you are also back. My brother-in-law will prepare sweets for you. Even if you are a bit naughty, I will accompany you.
Play. It's okay to come back half-assed. My brother-in-law doesn't mind your loud voice, it's too noisy.
Fortunately, Mom still remembered to have lunch at noon.
"I'm going to cook. Yu Li, you can't smell the fumes. There's no need to help. I can just do it myself." Yu's mother said.
"Mom, Yu Li can't help, do you want me to help you?" Yan Jiecheng also said politely.
"No, I can cook alone. You two, please take a rest," Yu Ma said.
It was almost lunch time when Dad Yu came back with two people.
It was only after a while of people in the courtyard watching, saying congratulations, joking, and distributing wedding candies that I returned home.
Dad Yu and Yu Haitang entered the house. Yu Peng was reluctant to enter the house. He accompanied his bicycle outside the house, clamoring to learn to ride a bicycle. When a child like Yu Peng rides a bicycle, when he sits on the seat, his feet can't even reach the pedals.
It's not uncomfortable to be able to stretch your legs under the bicycle frame and still ride the bicycle.
After everyone said hello, Yu Haitang said: "Sister, brother-in-law, when I learn to ride a bicycle, I will often visit you."
"Okay, you come here often, so I won't be bored when I have nothing to do." Yu Li said.
"Yes, sister-in-law, please take advantage of the holiday to come over and spend time with your sister. My brother-in-law will treat you to a good meal." Yan Jiecheng said.
After having lunch at Lao Yu's house, Yan Jiecheng left Yu Li at Lao Yu's house to play, using the excuse of going fishing and busying himself with his own affairs.
Go to the black market and buy some game, bacon, and bills that you need.
In the evening, I went to Yu's house to pick up Yu Li, and we went home together. We spent most weekends like this.
When I returned to the Siheyuan, I heard again that Qin Huairu's tall and plump rural relative was here again. People in the Siheyuan have really good memories, and they can still remember the visit a few months ago.
The third uncle and the third aunt are the most well-informed, and they take turns guarding the door. They both know which food is bought from which house in the courtyard.
"Qin Huairu brought relatives from the countryside to have a blind date with Shazhu again. Lao Yan, tell me, is Shazhu willing to marry a wife from the countryside?" said the third aunt.
"Si Zhu is so anxious to get a wife. He is definitely willing to marry a rural wife. I don't know who he is willing to marry." Yan Bugui pretended to be mysterious.
