Chapter 291: Song Jiu's Thoughts

Fengxian has a big belly, and she always wants to relieve herself inexplicably, and she was awakened after only half an hour of napping. When Xiaolian helped her to come back, she saw Zhong Yu sitting in the courtyard and Xu's gossip holding Juniper.

"Dr. Zhong." Fengxian stepped forward and bowed, she finally had a child, but thanks to Zhong Yu and Du Mei.

"The young lady is heavy, so she can't salute, she can't salute." Zhong Yu hurriedly stood up and reached out to support her.

"You've been in this belly for about seven or eight months?" There was a wind blowing, Xu Shi looked at the phoenix's huge belly wrapped in clothes and asked.

"I'm only a little over five months old." Feng Xian put her hands on her stomach and said with some panic.

She was pregnant for the first time, and she had never seen a big belly around her before, and after listening to Xu's words, she felt that her belly seemed to be wrong.

"I'll give you a pulse." Zhong Yu listened to Fengxian's words, and her brows couldn't help frowning, her belly looked really big.

"Okay. I can't ask for it. Hearing this, the phoenix turned her worries into joy, and sat down in the courtyard.

"Can someone check your pulse on weekdays? Can the diet be regulated? Zhong Yu asked carefully examining the pulse.

"There is a grandmother in the family who has been accumulating years, she will check the pulse, what's wrong with my baby?" Feng Xian saw that Zhong Yu had been diagnosing his pulse for a long time, and his heart was inevitably more nervous.

"The pulse is normal, it's not a big deal, but you should pay attention to your own eating, don't eat too much and too greasy, otherwise, the young lady will have to suffer when she gives birth." Zhong Yu frowned and said.

He didn't want to care about any wealthy grievances, but for the sake of her friendship with Du Mei, he couldn't help but mention lightly, as for the rest, he couldn't do anything.

"Meizi told me to eat small and frequent meals." Feng Xian snorted, she stared at Zhong Yu, as if trying to see the meaning of his words on his face.

She was right. The current season is the most nourishing people, most of the grains and dried fruits have been harvested, grapes, apples, red dates and other fresh fruits can also be bought one after another, and there are other fruits in the south, Song Gongzi must have a way to get them, and it is not bad to eat these. Zhong Yu smiled, since she mentioned the plum, he naturally did not hesitate to say a word and a half.

"I made a note of it, thank you, Dr. Zhong." Fengxian nodded.

She is a person who has been rolling in the wind and dust, and her mind is clear, and she has faintly sensed that something is wrong. Her children are not easy to come by, and her own life must be saved, and the good life in the future cannot be cheapened by others.

Since ancient times, women giving birth to children have been a trip to the palace of Hades, and she will never allow such a thing as a child or a nanny to happen to her! If it really comes to the line of life and death, don't say that Song Shaohuai, even the Da Luo Immortal can't save her! And the choice in Nafu, she can think of it with her toes, or is it that they are already laying out at this time? Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out all over her body.

"Fengxian, it's rare that Dr. Zhong is here, can you ask him to take a look?" Song Shaohuai stepped into the courtyard gate, saw them sitting and talking, and asked with a smile.

"See, it's nothing, it's okay." The phoenix smiled and got up to meet him.

"That's reassuring." Song Shaohuai hugged her and reached out to caress her belly with love.

Du Mei and Niu Er, Hei Jiaolong, Song Jiu and the Lin family came in after a mighty visit, and Niu Er and Hei Jiaolong greeted Zhong Yu naturally. The women of the Lin family spoke around the Xu family familiarly, and for a while, Du Mei's family was noisy and very lively.

Zhong Yu was so quiet, he talked to Du Mei, and went to see Du Shicheng, he saw him eating with his family on the threshing floor today, he was thin and thin, but his spirit was very high, this was not a good sign.

In order to entertain these friends, Du Mei fried the newly harvested peanuts in the kitchen, Song Jiu didn't like to talk much, and he didn't make noise with them in the hall, just sat at the dining table and watched Du Mei go about his work.

"Song Jiu, how much grain have you transported this time?" Du Mei was afraid that he would be restrained and not adapt to the rural environment, so he took the initiative to talk to him.

"Meizi, our contract is still valid, right?" Song Jiu asked without answering.

"Of course, how can you ask that?" Du Mei laughed, and she poured him a cup of tea while she stir-fried peanuts.

"I transported 2,000 stone of grain, all the way from Huizhou, I didn't dare to stop for half a moment, and I didn't sell a grain on the road, I'm afraid that your shop will ...... because of my default." Song Jiu didn't continue, he rubbed his eyebrows, it was too hard to rush for days.

"Because of the outbreak of the locust plague, I limited the sale every day, but I struggled for a few days, and then I was almost robbed by the troublemakers, thanks to the Shen County Order, the food lent to him for disaster relief was returned to me in time, so I did not close the door and go out of business." Du Mei smiled lightly, as if he was talking about old things.

"I arrived at the dock in Qinghe County in the middle of the night yesterday, and sent the shopkeeper He to Sheshan Town to look for you early this morning, Brother Niu and Brother Hei were also frightened when they saw him, and hurried to the dock to meet me, they told me about the things in the shop, but what they said was much more dangerous than what you said." Song Jiu was holding the tea cup in both hands, maybe he was too hard, and his fingertips were white and he didn't know it.

"These two men, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, are used to saying that sesame seeds are the size of watermelons, you don't believe them, you brought the grain this time, and I have the courage." Du Mei looked at Song Jiu with deep chagrin, and comforted him a little unbearably.

"Brother Niu said you got a new villa?" Song Jiu took a sip of tea, let out a sigh, and changed the topic.

"No, it's a blessing in disguise, but it's still a barren garden, if you come in the spring, there should be a good scenery to see." Du Mei said as she peeled a peanut and tasted it, chewing it still had a raw taste, and there was still some lack of heat.

"In the future, I'm afraid you won't want my food." Song Jiu lowered his head and rubbed the patterns on the coarse porcelain, and said a little dejectedly.

"How do you think that? My villa is only a hundred acres of land, a full harvest is only three or four hundred stones, I want to raise more ducks next year, and I am the only grain shop in Sheshan Town, you have to send food according to the contract, otherwise, my shop can not be opened. Du Mei shook his head, this young man is not very old, but he has a lot of thoughts, and he wants to have a hard time in the mansion, so he is hard at calculating.

"The autumn harvest is coming soon, and you are the only grain store in the town, and the farmers will naturally sell new grain to you." Song Jiu listened to her words and looked up at Du Mei, his eyes flickering. For him, it was the most important thing to get a word of promise from Dumay.

"This year is different, the first rice has been plagued by locusts, the second rice we have confiscated, always have no bottom in our hearts, one is not sure what the harvest is, the other is not known what the rice yield is, and I don't know if there is a difference in taste.

Besides, even if everything is good, every household must pay taxes first, and then leave rations, and then talk about selling grain. Du Mei smiled and gave him a reassurance.

In Du Mei's understanding, the new grain is good, but in this special year, it is difficult to say how much can be purchased, and Song Jiu's grain has been pulled to the doorstep, and there is no reason to refuse it.

"I know you are kind-hearted, our contract originally scheduled me to send a thousand stone of rice in early August, but I am a month late, now the new rice is about to go on the market, according to the market in previous years, the price of rice will inevitably fall, and my old rice last year, it is not sold at a high price, although the field is not opened, I have to give a discount on the price first, according to 900 wen a stone." Song Jiu listened to her words, and felt a little relieved, looking at this posture is to cooperate for a long time. Du Mei didn't lower the price because he was late, and he didn't want to be cheeky to bully her according to the market price, so he always had to show some sincerity for himself to breach the contract.

"At present, the new grain has not yet been scaled, and the price is still based on the market price, since you have shipped 2,000 stones, I naturally want all of them." Du Mei doesn't have so many calculations, the people who buy grain to eat have a hard time, and those who grow grain also look at God's face to give the harvest, she opened a grain shop but just to make a small profit and quick turnover, and give a group of friends an extra livelihood to earn money to support their families.

"You don't have to fight with me for the price, this time we will bring an extra thousand stones, but it is not for you, I won't hide it from you, there is also a plan for the side, He shopkeeper heard that the grain in the south is tight, he wants to explore the way, if the rumors are true, Chen rice can also be sold at a good price, it must be higher than for you, come and go, in short, we will not suffer." If there is a stable cooperative shop in the south, it is also convenient to transport it by water. Song Jiu saw that Du Mei was honest, but it was not easy to hide it, so as not to appear too petty.

"I don't know exactly what happens in the south, but it's good to have more markets. I'll give you a cover, if the shopkeeper returns in vain, you don't have to worry, no matter how much is left, I want it. Du Mei thought to herself, if Chu Lin came, she could ask him about the situation in the south.

"With your words as a guarantee, Shopkeeper He should be happy." Song Jiu finally smiled, his pale face was stained with a thin layer of red due to the heat of the kitchen.

"Taste the peanuts, they're fragrant." Du Mei grabbed a handful and gave it to him, and the house was filled with the crispy smell of peanuts.

"I've already smelled it, maybe I've eaten it?" Niu Er poked his head in from outside the door and asked.

"Alright, alright." Du Mei put the peanuts in a small bamboo basket, piled them up with sharp points, and handed them to him.

"Song Jiu, you can't talk about business one day, let's go for a walk, come with us to sit in that house, it's rare to come and join in such a big scene." Niu Er peeled a peanut and threw it in his mouth to chew, pulled up the young man, and dragged him away.

Du Mei smiled and shook her head, and as they coaxed, she turned to wash the pot.

"Plum, plum." Du Huaibing stepped into the courtyard gate and called out one after another.

"Master, what's wrong?" Du Mei held a rag in his hand and asked.

"I just chatted with the county lord, and said that you have collected more than 20 sacks of cotton on the villa, and the county lord is planning to buy it." Du Huaibing said with his eyebrows fluttering.

"That's right, Qinghe County has been a large grain-producing area since ancient times, and there are not many cotton grows. The cotton clothes of our Dingbei Army originally used southern Xinjiang cotton, which had nothing to do with us, but due to the disaster, the output of southern Xinjiang dropped sharply, so this year we sent extra work to buy cotton. I just talked to Patriarch Du about this, and he said that you just received a lot. Shen Zhanghua simply said the reason, but he really didn't believe that the ten acres of cotton field could produce more than 20 kapok, if that was the case, he didn't have to worry about cotton procurement day and night.
