Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 108 Magistrate
Since Jiao's mother-in-law is not around, and her natal family is not here, let alone relatives, aunts and mothers-in-law, but the neighbors get along very well on weekdays, so they spontaneously prepare things without anyone saying anything. Things suitable for pregnant women to eat, as well as taboos during pregnancy and so on.

Widow Qiu and Mrs. Wang, who were experienced, dumped their stomachs and planned to tell Mrs. Jiao that they would do a preview in advance, so that they would have experience if their daughters-in-law were pregnant.

Regarding the precautions for pregnancy, to be honest, Puhuang is really not clear, after all, I haven’t learned it exactly, but foods that can promote qi and blood are definitely not enough.Picking and picking in the room used as a warehouse, Puhuang also had some headaches, and really didn't know what to give.

After thinking about it, Puhuang picked some dried longan, dried fungus and shiitake mushrooms, and then took two dried fish, thinking that it should be almost the same.It's a pity that I didn't go into the mountain today. It would be nice to catch a pheasant and send it over. Well, let's take another day.

When carrying the basket over there, Puhuang saw that the expressions of the two were a little strange, and the atmosphere was not right, not at all like the kind of joyful feeling of knowing that they had a new life.

"What's the matter?" Puhuang put the basket on the table, stood at the door of the room and looked at Jiao Shi who was on the bed, did something happen again?
Chen Xiucai opened his mouth, did not speak, put his head in his hands, and squatted down against the wall at the door, without any intention of answering Puhuang's words.

"It's Puhuang, come in, don't be surprised, my husband just got angry with me." Jiao leaned against the head of the bed, her face still grim, she beckoned to Puhuang and let her into the room.

"Sister-in-law Chen, what is this?" Puhuang was a little confused, but still went in, "Is it better? Is there anything you want to eat? I'll make something for you." Then Chen Xiucai probably doesn't know how to do housework, right? .

Mrs. Jiao shook her head, "I don't have much appetite now, besides my husband is here, I really want to thank you all, I didn't eat and came to see me."

"It's nothing, neighbors, help each other." Who can have no troubles, it is not unreasonable to say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

"Puhuang, my health is still good, right? You asked your husband to help me persuade my family not to kill the child." Jiao grabbed Puhuang's hand, feeling a little agitated, and her eyes suddenly swelled. famous.

Pu Huang was stunned for a moment, why did Jiao Shi tell himself this, meddling in other people's housework is not a good job.

"Sister-in-law, I think it's not good for you to be stalemate like this. You've been recuperating for so many years, and your health is almost in good shape. Why don't you go to the county town and ask the doctor, maybe it's really good news." Pu Huang felt that this matter Let the doctor decide. Professionals are more powerful, and she can't join in the fun if she only knows a little bit of superficiality.

After comforting Mrs. Jiao for a while, she went out of the room and saw that Chen Xiucai was still looking depressed, and couldn't help but sigh: "Chen Xiucai, give your sister-in-law some food first, and borrow a car to go to the county town to find a doctor in the afternoon. , maybe it’s not as bad as imagined, don’t scare yourself, it just ruins the relationship between husband and wife.”

"Thank you Madam Hong for your help, Chen is very grateful." Chen Xiucai wiped his face and saluted Puhuang.

Pu Huang was taken aback. The status of a scholar is different from that of ordinary people. There is no need to salute like this to his peers. "If you can't do it, it's just a trivial matter. I'll go back first. If you have something to do, just call out."

When they got home, Hong Haoan was sitting at the dining table, waiting eagerly for Puhuang. They ate lunch later than everyone else, and they hadn't started cooking the meal for Mrs. Jiao.

"My lady, is Chen Xiucai okay?" Hong Hao'an said while serving rice.

"The couple had a little conflict. Sister-in-law Chen's health doesn't look very good. I advise them to go to the county town to see a doctor in the afternoon." Pu Huang didn't say much, after all, it was someone else's private matter.

"Thinking that I'm the same age as Chen Xiucai, I don't think he's going to be a father. I'm so lucky." Hong Haoan smiled lightly and handed the bowl to Puhuang.

Puhuang took the bowl, why did Hong Haoan's words sound a bit sour?It's really inexplicable.

Seeing that Puhuang didn't continue the conversation, Hong Hao'an felt a little disappointed, but he looked carefully, she didn't reject the child, but she didn't understand what he meant!I think he is also 24. At his age, no one in the village has two or three children.

Originally, he was envious and jealous, but now that he has a wife, will the baby be far behind?
Not understanding Hong Hao'an's hidden meaning, Pu Huang didn't think much about it, God knows, in her subconscious mind, it's never too late to get married and have children in her twenties, she would only lament that it's too early to get married at fifteen or sixteen.

Two days later, Puhuang saw Jiao Shi again. She was basking in the sun outside the house, making baby clothes in her hands, while Chen Xiucai was watching by, asking a few questions from time to time, a little nervous.From Jiao Shi's mouth, Pu Huang also learned what the doctor said, saying that Jiao Shi's body is relatively weak and it is difficult to conceive, and if she is pregnant and wants to give birth smoothly, she must take medicine for a long time, and she has been with the medicine pot for a long time .

There are many things on the mountain, and Puhuang often sends some things there. Recently, Hong Haoan often asked Chen Xiucai to ask questions.

In early November, the well-drilling craftsman entrusted by Puhuang also came, pulling a mule cart and bringing two apprentices. Puhuang gave them a wing room to live in. Fortunately, there was no need to provide quilts and sheets. She is a bit of a clean freak when it comes to daily necessities.

Knowing that Hong Hao'an's family was going to dig a well, Chen Xiucai, the widow of Wang's family Qiu who was relatively close, all came to the door, just to discuss, and each household would contribute some money to make the well dug by the four families.Puhuang was not very happy in his heart, but thinking about it from a different position, he could also understand the thoughts of the other three families, and the three families were easy to get along with, and there was no objection.

In the first few days of digging wells, people from the village would come and walk around from time to time, thinking that Hong Haoan really had money and no place to spend it, and the public wells were not far away, so he dug wells by himself. There are those who are envious, and there are also words of disdain. Puhuang is impatient to hear it, so he stays in the nest all day long.

The weather is getting colder and colder. There may be frost and ice in December, so we need to use carbon. Puhuang thinks that he can cut down more neck trees or dead trees when he has time. In the cold weather, he can stay at home without moving. Well, get a brazier, bake potatoes or sweet potatoes, it's beautiful just thinking about it.

Afraid of frost, Puhuang dug up the potatoes in the valley and put them in the cave, covered them with hay, and then turned the ground, planning to shoot mustard greens, which are good materials for making sauerkraut or dried vegetables, as well as cauliflower and cabbage. , this is indispensable, it is dried in the sun, and only when it is green and yellow can it be eaten.

One day, I just came back with a load of firewood, set it up behind the house, entered the house from the back, and saw guests coming in the hall, some of whom I didn't know.

"Miss, you're back, come quickly and have a cup of hot tea to get rid of the cold." Hong Hao'an turned his head and said with a smile, looking very good.

The tables and chairs in the living room were all custom-made, and they were made low on purpose. Pu Huang glanced at the man opposite Hong Hao'an, who looked very gentle, but he couldn't hide the sharp corners of his eyes, and he was still standing behind him. He was a young man with a breath that didn't know how to restrain himself. He was a practicing family.

On Hong Hao'an's left, sat Hong Haozheng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He usually met Guan, but he often heard Guan mentioning that his son was always delayed in getting married, and that trouble.

Pu Huang glanced quickly, nodded slightly to the people present as a question mark, and after drinking tea, she said, "Since there are guests coming today, I will cook a few more dishes, and I hope everyone will appreciate it."

"Sister-in-law, don't be busy. This time, brother Lu and I have other things to do besides seeing my cousin. Mother is already preparing lunch. Later, you and my cousin will go there together." Hong Hao was busy Blocking, doing both sides is not a thing.

Pu Huang glanced at Hong Haoan, and saw that he agreed, but did not object, "Well, you can talk slowly, and I will go to my aunt's house to help." Although he also invited himself and Hong Haoan, but he couldn't help it , This makes people know, and they will say that they are not sensible.

After staying for such a period of time, Puhuang has a better understanding of some customs. Generally, it is impossible for a woman to wait for this kind of treat, and she must help in the kitchen of the treat. The table is divided, which is different from the nature of the family banquet.

"Hey, Mrs. Hao'an, you're here, come on, help me cut the vegetables, and I'll kill the fish." Mrs. Guan raised her head from the smoky stove, saw Puhuang coming, and hurriedly greeted her.

"Auntie, let me come and use the fish I brought back from the mountains." Seeing that the guest's status should not be low, Pu Huang glanced around the kitchen. The ingredients are too rich, so it can be seen that Hong Hao is notifying him to prepare in advance .

"Well, your fish tastes good." Guan Shi was not polite, and agreed directly, "Daughter-in-law Hao'an, you just came from home, have you seen the county magistrate Nalu?"

"Magistrate Lu?" Pu Huang looked up at Guan in surprise, "Auntie, why did County Magistrate Lu come to our village?" And he seemed to be very familiar with Hong Haoan, Hong Haozheng, what's going on? ?

"I'm not too sure about this. I heard that Magistrate Lu traveled with Hao'an and the others for a while when he was traveling abroad. He and Haozheng should have business contacts. I don't know the details." It's not a big deal to hide it more, as long as you don't tell it to the outside world, otherwise people will misunderstand that you have a relationship with the county magistrate, and it will be troublesome to come to your door and ask for something on your behalf.

"This county magistrate Lu looks really young, which is really surprising." Pu Huang thought that the county magistrates were all middle-aged or even old men with beards.

"That's true, hey, your uncle said to buy wine, why have you been there for so long, I still need it." Guan clapped his hands suddenly, and found that something was missing, and there was no one to handle it for a while, not enough manpower. !
"Auntie, let me go and have a look, I don't understand the dish you are cooking." She doesn't know how to cook delicate dishes, so let's run errands obediently!
　Starting tomorrow, double update, bless me to complete the task!
