The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 31

After being busy with family affairs for a while, Fu Shi remembered that he had promised to bring He Youliang and Fu Lei into the mountain.This was no different than when he went into the mountains alone. If he wanted to teach them how to hunt, he had to do every step from digging traps, tracking prey, identifying traces, luring prey, and firing arrows to hunt. He would definitely have to stay in the mountains for a few days.He was worried that He Tao would be alone at home, so he wanted to just drop it and wait until He Tao gave birth.He Tao disagreed, and persuaded him that the matter was brought up by them themselves, so how can they say that if they don't count, they don't count.

"Brother Lei, I don't know, but I have been looking forward to it for a long time. You can go there with confidence, two or three days is not a problem, if you are worried about the family, let the younger sister come and stay with me for a few days."

Fu Shi thought for a while and finally nodded: "That's fine, I'll talk about it later, but my little sister is so young, can she take care of you? Or let my mother-in-law come..."

"do not!"

He Tao hastily interrupted.Little Chen is coming, and any good mood will be ruined!
"Why are the mother and daughter acting like enemies? I think your mother-in-law treats you very well!" Fu Shi didn't understand very much.He wants to raise his son but doesn't want to be loved by him, so why doesn't his wife cherish it at all? !
"I didn't say she treated me badly!" He Tao didn't want to discuss this kind of issue with him at all. Men are not careful in the first place, and it's useless to explain what a woman thinks to them. She brushed the broken hair by her ear Said: "I miss my little sister!"

Fu Shi couldn't say anything more: "Okay, listen to you, and tell my father when I go."

He Tao raised his head and glanced at him. This guy still has the nerve to call her. Judging by the names he calls the He family, he can tell that he is also divided into three or six grades. He Fuguo is our father, and He Youliang and He Lian are younger brothers. , Little sister, Xiao Chen is just a mother-in-law!

Before dawn the next day, He Youliang brought He Lian to the door, and Fu Lei arrived just after they entered the door.Fu Shi asked He Youliang and Fu Lei to wait in the gatehouse, and he sent He Lian to the east room by himself. After giving He Lian some instructions, he led the two brothers out.

He Tao has been lethargic recently, and when she woke up, Fu Shi and the three of them had all entered the inner circle of Daqing Mountain.She yawned and walked out of the bedroom. He Lian ran up to her and smiled at her, "Sister, you're awake. If you don't get up, you can go straight to lunch!"

He Tao smiled and touched the top of her head, then yawned again before replying, "Let's just have lunch, it's okay anyway."

He Lian opened her mouth wide, as if she didn't know who she was.Why does it seem like a different person? If the family is concerned about diligence, grandma is firmly number one, and the eldest sister is not far behind!

"Sister, why are you so lazy now?"

He Tao's yawning movement paused for a moment, and then he laughed and said, "It's all because I'm pregnant, um, I'm lazy because I'm pregnant!"

He Lian tilted her head and asked, "Could it be that my brother-in-law does all the work at home?"

She thought of Fu Shi's instructions when he left the house, every word was asking her to take good care of He Tao, and the same meaning was repeated over and over again: don't let your sister do anything!
Being stared at by He Lian's suspicious eyes, He Tao felt uncomfortable, and she tried to pretend not to care and replied: "Well, your brother-in-law is diligent!"

In the words of Fu Shi, "Conceiving a child is your only business, don't worry about anything else, just leave it to me!"

"Then you can't be like this!" Although He Lian is only 11 years old, girls at this time wake up early. She has heard a lot of words like "work hard and be filial to your parents-in-law", so she naturally knows how to start a family. What women do is right.Doesn't my elder sister look like the "lazy lady" in the mouth of the aunts and aunts in the village!

"Sister, you can't become a lazy woman, you will be disgusted by your brother-in-law in the future! People in the village will laugh at you behind your back!

He Tao blushed immediately when He Lian said it.

"Okay, okay, I know! Let's eat!"

While talking, he fled to the kitchen.It is said that she was not a very diligent person in the first place, but now that Fu Shi is willing to serve her and does not let her lift a finger, she is becoming more and more lazy.

Pregnant women here are really precious. They do laundry, cooking, and serving their parents-in-law. Don’t even think that men will wait on dressing and eating. Many pregnant women are still busy with housework just before entering the delivery room!Speaking of which, Fu Shi is really an outlier among rural men. If the villagers know what he has done, he will definitely be laughed at as "the husband is not strong."

Because Fu Shi was not at home, and He Lian was disgusted by him, He Tao rolled up his sleeves and started doing housework after dinner.There is not much work at home, that is, washing and rinsing. The only heavy work is chopping pigweed.The day before Fu Shi went out, he chopped it in advance, and it was full of several large boxes.He Tao touched her belly and confidently sent He Lian to cook pig food, feed pigs, and chickens.

After finishing the housework, He Lian moved the long couch and put it under the eaves to do needlework in the sun. With He Lian's help, the mosquito net, quilt cover, and curtains were quickly finished.

When Fu Shi and the others came back four days later, the sisters were making cushion covers.The gate of the courtyard was slammed loudly, and at the same time, He Youliang's excited voice came.

"Sister, we are back!"

"Second brother and the others are back!" He Lian clapped her hands and opened the door bouncingly.

He Tao also followed slowly, and Fu Shi rushed up to her before she walked out of the small courtyard gate, smiled and called "daughter-in-law", then bent down and said to her belly, "Son, you Dad is back!"

He Tao rolled his eyes, then looked at Fu Shi carefully.Speaking of which, this was the first time they had separated since they got married, and they hadn't seen each other for four whole days, and it was only when He Tao met that he felt that he actually missed him a lot.She looked back, He Lian and the others were all attracted by the prey, she stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed him on the face.

Fu Shi blushed and stared at her, but she covered her mouth with a smirk.She remembered that when she hugged his arm when she was going to the market before, Fu Shi also blushed with shame and had a thick neck. She didn't expect it to be the same now. Hold your head and growl: "Daughter-in-law, don't!"

He Tao laughed until his stomach ached!
"Nonsense!" Fu Shihu said with a straight face.

He Tao hugged her arm and shook her, and he smiled helplessly again.

"What happened?" He Tao stopped teasing him and asked about the prey.

Fu Shi happily said: "There are really a lot of things this time! My uncle said before that novices are lucky, I still don't believe it, but last time I took you to fight wild boars, and this time I took Brother He and Brother Lei to fight some wild boars." Big guy! Let’s go, I’ll show you around!”

Fu Shi helped He Tao go to the tool room, He Tao was shocked when he entered, hey boy, one wild boar, two deer, one robe, two bunches of hares, and one bunch of pheasants, what a bumper harvest!

He Youliang was teasing He Lian and said, "Do you know what it is?"

Before He Lian could say anything, He Youliang said again, "Let me tell you, it's a deer, with a male and a female at both ends!" He Youliang gestured excitedly: "Brother-in-law is amazing, originally We are all about to go down the mountain, my brother-in-law found such a pair, swish two arrows and catch them all!"

Fu Lei also echoed at the side: "I didn't believe my father said how good my cousin's arrow skills are, but this time it really opened my eyes! If I wasn't afraid that my sister-in-law would be worried at home, I would definitely have to drag my cousin to stay for a few more days. return!"

He Youliang thumped Fu Lei after hearing this: "Don't be greedy, my brother-in-law said that the weather is hot these days, and the meat won't be able to keep. If you wait a few more days and come back, the meat will be all rotten!"

"Can it sell for a lot of money?" He Tao asked.

Fu Shi had already counted it, and opened his mouth to come: "The wild boar and deer seeds can be sold for about 20 taels, and I have paid attention to the fact that the skin is not damaged. Small things like rabbits and pheasants will be divided among the three families. Go back and fight the tooth festival!"

"20 taels?!" He Lian opened her mouth wide, eyes full of admiration, she turned to look at He Tao: "Brother-in-law is really amazing!"

He Tao is silent, he is very powerful, what are you saying to me? !
"A family can be divided into seven taels!" Fu Shi nodded.

He Youliang and Fu Lei waved their hands again and again and said in unison: "This is not acceptable, how dare we want it!"

It was true at first, they just followed to learn things, and Fu Shi was the one who was busy all the way. I never heard that the master earns money and the apprentices can share it!

"What are you talking about, I'm sorry, if I didn't take you with me, I wouldn't be able to drag you back!" Fu Shi also felt that he was lucky as a novice. Without the luck of a novice, no matter how good his arrow skills are, it would be useless not to meet his prey.

One of the three people wanted to give to the other two, but in the end, He Tao made the decision. Fu Shi was the main labor force, and He Youliang and Fu Lei got three taels of silver each, so He Youliang and Fu Lei agreed. .

After discussing it, Fu Shi divided the pheasant and the rabbit into three parts, and asked He Youliang to take one part back to He's house, while he himself and Fu Lei took one part to the second room of Fu's house, and borrowed an ox cart by the way. Send the three big guys to the restaurant in Willow Town.

The men went back and out like the wind, and He Tao led He Lian to pick up the pheasants, planning to make a good meal at noon to treat the three warriors who returned in triumph.

He Lian cut open the neck of the pheasant with a kitchen knife. The pheasant beat and struggled, and the chicken blood splashed everywhere.He Tao's clothes were also stained with a few drops, and when he smelled the smell, he immediately felt nauseous, turned around and vomited acid water.She thought to herself, the legendary morning sickness finally came, and she would have to suffer for a long time afterwards!

He Lian didn't understand why, so she giggled and said, "Sister, you are not only lazy, but also squeamish!"

He Tao vomited dizzily, waved his hands weakly and said, "I can't do it, you can clean up slowly, I don't want to see this now, I'll go in and rest for a while."

He Lian stuck out her tongue and started to work by herself.

After a while, He Youliang turned back, not for a bite of meat, but because he thought that when Fu Shi went to the town to sell his prey later, he could follow him to see and see.As soon as he entered the door, he saw He Tao leaning weakly on the long couch, and hurriedly asked, "Elder sister, are you uncomfortable?" Then he turned his head and glared at He Lian, who was killing chickens, and said, "Elder sister, are you sick?" If you feel uncomfortable, what chicken are you killing!"

He Lian stuck out her tongue and replied angrily: "It's not uncomfortable, the eldest sister is so delicate now, she can't even see chicken blood!"

He Tao was sweating next to her. She covered her head and explained in a low voice, "It's not uncomfortable, nor is it delicate. This is a normal reaction of pregnancy."

When Fu Shi came back, he made a fuss even more, and didn't listen to He Tao's explanation that morning sickness was a normal reaction, so he picked her up with his big hand and carried her into the bullock cart, put her together with the dead prey, and said To take her to the town to see a doctor.

Smelled by the smell of the prey, He Tao, who was already better, immediately vomited in the dark again. After recovering from his breath, he beat Fu Shi vigorously, regardless of whether others scolded him bloody .He Youliang and the others clutched their bellies and laughed until they couldn't breathe.In the end, after all, He Tao avoided the bad luck of going to the streets with his prey.

After Fu Shi and the others came back from the town, the food and drink had already been set up in the small courtyard, and the three of them started eating without saying a word.Fu Shi picked up the braised chicken with his chopsticks, and felt that the taste was wrong as soon as he ate it, so he teased He Tao with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, go back to your craft!"

As soon as the words came to an end, He Lian's face puffed up, and she buried her head in the food puffed up.

"You can't even stop your mouth with rice!" He Tao cast a sidelong glance at him and said, "I can't smell raw meat now, today's table is all made by my little sister!"

Only then did Fu Shi say sullenly: "It's also quite delicious, thank you little sister!"

After dinner, Fu Shi made an appointment with He Youliang and Fu Lei for the next time to enter the mountain, and then let them go back.
