84. Heart disease
After the year, sure enough, Yu Mingyi did not report to ask for leave, but went directly to Anning Mansion to start school, Zhou Daren was worried, but he didn't dare to let Yu Mingyi put down the matter at hand and ignore it, so he had to order his subordinates to take care of it carefully, Yu Mingyi had two old people who were waiting for him, and Zhou Daren found two middle-aged mothers who had waited for her pregnant husband to follow.
Yu Mingyi was always surrounded by four subordinates, and even when he was teaching, they were waiting at the door of the classroom, and the people in the school quickly knew that he was pregnant. Therefore, both the master and the students have special respect for him. Then he slowly transferred some affairs to his assistants, deputy priests, and others, all of whom he had brought out, and he knew what to do. Therefore, Fuxue was not much different from the past, and he was in good health, and he insisted on working until May, when he had been working for more than seven months. The weather was really hot, and his belly was too big, so he went home to recuperate.
Years later, Geng Qiu concentrated on soaking in Tongxian County, and for the past two years, he has been concentrating on the study of second-season rice. In modern times, he clearly remembers his hometown, where the rice planted was divided into two crops, and in some places it was divided into three crops. The rice in Daqing is only planted for one season, and the fields are idle for a long time, which is more wasteful. Daqing's grain output is low, and the peasants pay taxes, so they can't even eat a full meal. Increasing grain production is a matter of benefit to the whole country.
Because Geng Qiu is also doing serious things, although Ah Hao is eager to ask for a son, he has to say goodbye to him, although Tongxian is not far from Beijing, but even riding a horse has to take more than an hour, Geng Qiu wants to live in Zhuangzi, and will not run around the general's mansion and Zhuangzi every day.
Geng Qiu stayed for a few months, except for Ah Hao who would come to Zhuangzi to see him when he was off, Geng Qiu would also go back to the General's Mansion for ten days and a half months, after all, the General's Mansion also had to be taken care of by the master. And the kids have to take care of as well. The two of them also lived a weekend married life similar to modern times, except that they could control the time they spent together.
At the end of June and the beginning of July, Geng Qiu's early rice was ripe, and at the same time, his late rice seedlings had been raised. The harvested early rice is hulled into rice at the fastest speed, Geng Qiu of course has to taste it first, it is not much different from the rice he usually eats, and the taste is slightly worse.
In fact, the taste of early rice is worse than that of late rice and medium rice, and it is brittle and hard. The early rice in their hometown is sold by the farmers, and only a very small part of it is left to eat, and it is used to cook porridge.
Daqing only planted medium rice, and at this time there was no heading, so as soon as Geng Qiu's new rice came out, he sent a little to Yu Mingyi, Yu Mingyi was about to give birth, in the late stage of pregnancy, he was really uncomfortable, he didn't feel much in the early and middle stages, but in the last two or three months, he couldn't eat or sleep, his legs and feet were swollen, the most uncomfortable thing was sleeping, the fetus was big, whether it was lying on his back, or sleeping on the left side, on the right side, it was uncomfortable, and the whole night was uncomfortable, and the weather was hot, ordinary people felt uncomfortable, he had a big belly, It was tired, hot, and uncomfortable, and it almost dragged him out. Fortunately, he raised it well in the early and middle periods, otherwise he wouldn't know if this baby would be able to keep it.
Because Yu Mingyi's appetite has been extremely poor recently, even if she barely eats it, she will most likely vomit it. The two families have a good relationship and live together, Geng Qiu not only sent new rice, but also got some tender lotus roots, and tender edamame, and cooked for him directly in his kitchen. Geng Qiu boiled new rice porridge, boiled the tender edamame, mixed it with sour and spicy flavors, and sliced the lotus root into sweet and sour. Two seasonal side dishes and a bowl of porridge made Yu Mingyi's appetite great, and he rarely ate half a bowl.
"Sir, I'm about to give birth." Geng Qiu saw that he had a big belly, although he was only wearing loose clothes made of wide thin cotton cloth, he was still sweating profusely, which was really uncomfortable for him. The subordinate waited on the side and kept fanning him, but it didn't really do much.
"It's coming, it's coming. I wish I had it tomorrow. Yu Mingyi said. The weather is hot, and people are uncomfortable, so I can't wait to unload and clear the warehouse quickly.
"You can still put some ice in the house, you have to be careful of heat stroke on such a hot day." Geng Qiu said.
"I also used a little bit, I don't dare to use more."
Yu Mingyi is not far from the delivery date, but it is the hottest season of the year, and it is really difficult, and this kind of weather is also uncomfortable. It's not easy for adults and children to take care of. Geng Qiu was really worried about him.
The two chatted for a while, it was rare that Yu Mingyi was in high spirits, Geng Qiu walked with him in the courtyard for two quarters of an hour, Yu Mingyi was tired and panting, and the person who took care of him immediately invited him back to his room to rest. The midwives in the baron's mansion had already waited in the mansion, the obstetrician had also been decided, and even Imperial Doctor Zhu often came.
But that's it, Yu Mingyi's baby was also born very unsmoothly, and it took most of the night to toss and scare everyone half to death, before giving birth to a big fat boy. After Yu Mingyi gave birth to the child, he fainted, his whole body seemed to come out of the water, he was full of sweat, even his hair was dripping sweat, afraid of his hot heat stroke, Imperial Doctor Zhu took the risk of using ice in his room.
Fortunately, on the second day of Yu Mingyi's birth, the sky was sunny for more than half a month, and it finally rained heavily, which finally alleviated the heat for several days. This rain is half a month, and when the sun comes out again, Yu Mingyi's body is also a lot stronger, she can barely get up and walk a few steps, and she can withstand the high temperature.
His youngest son, nicknamed Ah Chi, weighed seven pounds when he was born, and his taste was also very good, and he was very easy to raise. Not at all as squeamish as his brother Ah Wan, he slept when he was full, and the nurse said, "The little baby is so easy to take care of." ”
By the time of the full moon banquet, Ah Chi had grown to eleven pounds, white and chubby, although his facial features had not yet grown, but he also relied on the shadow of Yu Mingyi, he must be a handsome guy when he grows up, and he is not cute. Ah Hao hugged it and refused to let go, but he couldn't wait to go home. made everyone laugh and joke at him: "I like it so much, you can hurry up and have another one." ”
At night, Ah Hao didn't bother to pay attention to Geng Qiu, Geng Qiu had specially rushed back from Zhuangzi to participate in Ah Chi's full moon banquet, and the two of them hadn't been intimate for nearly a month. Geng Qiu knew that he was in a bad mood, but he didn't see that scene. Ah Hao's status is high, and he must be sitting with the VIPs. And even though Geng Qiu was his family, it was impossible for him to sit at the same table with those people.
So in order to avoid embarrassment, Geng Qiu just secretly went to see Yu Mingyi and Ah Chi, and did not stay to eat and drink. Lord Zhou and Yu Mingyi didn't keep much, they all understood Geng Qiu's mood, and this full moon banquet, the entire Kyoto and even the upper echelons of Anning Mansion were almost all dispatched, and the Baron's Mansion was almost busy going crazy, and I was really afraid that some people would take the opportunity to make trouble, and an identity like Geng Qiu was very likely to be used as a trick.
"We'll invite you alone another day, we're a few good friends, feel free, let's have fun together." Zhou said.
"It's just that I don't like to make such a big deal out of it. But the emperor just wants to join in the fun. Yu Mingyi said.
Originally, he didn't want to hold a full moon banquet. He originally planned to invite a few good friends to have a meal together, and that's it. But since he gave birth to Ah Chi, the emperor actually sent a special gift and gave the child a name. The emperor's move, the hundred officials saw it in their eyes, so Ah Chi was such a little bit of a villain, and he had already received a lot of gifts. So much so that they had to feast on the guests. Among them, there are many people who don't deal with Lord Zhou, and people who are not used to Yu Mingyi, all come to give gifts in a fishy manner, and there are many mouths, who knows if there will be any trouble.
"What's wrong? Who you off? Geng Qiu asked.
"Hmph, you said that Mr. Yu can give birth, why can't I get pregnant?" Ah Hao said sullenly.
"Ouch, it's for this again. What are you afraid of, you are still a few years away from Mr. Yu's age. What we have is opportunity. Geng Qiu said with a smile.
How can this kind of thing be in a hurry, both of them are in good health, according to Geng Qiu, it is because Ah Hao takes this matter too seriously, and the pressure is too great, so he will not be able to conceive. Maybe you can relax and you will have it unconsciously. Just like Mr. Yu, it took more than two months to find out.
"Brother Qiu, I'm sorry for you." Ah Hao turned over, turned his back to Geng Qiu, and said silently. He promised Geng Qiu a long time ago that he would give him another son and follow his surname, but now he has not been able to give birth, and Geng Qiu's life in Beijing has not been comfortable in the past few years.
Geng soaked in the fields in the autumn days, with a group of old villagers, tanned and rough, like an authentic rural farmer. In order to study the second crop of rice, Geng Qiu really put in a lot of effort. He didn't do this to add some help to the General's Mansion. Ah Hao always felt ashamed of Geng Qiu in his heart, so his mood became more and more depressed.
"Silly, say sorry for me. I think it's a good time now. I stay in Zhuangzi every day, which is what I like. It's better than you intriguing with a group of people in the court every day. Geng Qiu smiled, held him in his arms, and kissed him carefully.
"But, don't ......" Ah Hao's words were interrupted, and he soon couldn't speak anymore.
On the hot night, Geng Qiu seemed to be about to fold Ah Hao into his belly, again and again, the sweat of the two was intertwined, and the sheets under his body had already crumpled. Although there were ice buckets in the house, they still couldn't resist the fierce enthusiasm.
"No...... Yes. Kindness...... Ah......" Ah Hao's voice was hoarse, he knew that Geng Qiu was not only begging for 8 joys, but also subconsciously punishing him, so his actions were extremely rude and unrelenting.
They are husband and wife, and they have supported each other for so many years, and now the days are getting more and more prosperous. Geng Qiu didn't expect Ah Hao to be obsessed with giving him another son. He didn't really care at all. Geng Qiu was even more worried that Ah Hao hadn't remembered that Ah Niu was not his biological son yet, if he remembered that period of the past, he would be afraid that he would not be able to conceive himself in such a hurry now. He was afraid that Ah Hao would do something unexpected. The real Geng Qiu has been buried in the depths of that mountain. Even if you look for it now, you may not be able to find the simple cemetery that Ah Hao made in a hurry.
"Do you know you're wrong?" Geng Qiu asked while applying medicine to Ah Hao.
Today's toss is a little too much, Ah Hao wrinkled his face, there was excessive friction somewhere, not only broke the skin, but also some small wounds, and now he felt more and more painful when he applied the medicine. However, this is a specially prescribed medicine by Dr. Li, and the effect is quite good, and soon Ah Hao felt that the injury was much cooler.
"Brother Qiu, don't be angry, I'm not afraid that you have ideas?" Ah Hao tried hard to coax Geng Qiu, and said again as if coquettish: "I will never say this again." If you can't give birth, you can't give birth. In the future, let Ah Niu have a few more. ”
"Don't say anything like I'm sorry in the future. In my opinion, the most important thing in a family is actually the relationship between husband and wife. Neither parents nor children can spend too much time with you. In fact, to put it mildly, they are just a process in your life and will accompany you for a while. Only your spouse is the most important person in your life and will accompany you to the end of your life. Parents will always grow old, children will always grow up, and only I will always be by your side. From youth to middle age to twilight old age, we will always be together. Support each other and care for each other. It was rare for Geng Qiu to say such a large emotional sentence.
Ah Hao was very moved, he never knew that Geng Qiu could still say such touching love words.
