In the past few days, Yu Niang's eyes have always been very strange when she looks at Gu Yao, and Gu Yao knows it in her heart. Her menstrual affairs were extremely accurate, but this time it was seven or eight days late. In that matter, she and Zheng Zhi did not have any special operations, but there may be one at this time.

It can only be said that spring is the season of recovery of all things.

Yu Niang discussed with Aunt Wen, so Gu Yao's dish had an extra boiled egg. Zhan Lan and a bunch of small radish heads, peeked at the egg from time to time, and then lowered his head and swallowed the sour cabbage vermicelli.

Eggs are a real luxury these days. It is useless for alfalfa to grow out of the barren fields, but when the time comes, if there are flocks of chickens, ducks and geese to eat, it will be useful. Yes, Gu Yao asked the help of Mr. Jin's family to pull eggs everywhere and exchange grain for eggs. Two more rooms were left empty for incubating eggs. The current hard-boiled egg, in Gu Yao's eyes, is no longer a boiled egg, but a chicken!

"It's already cooked, don't waste it like this."

As he spoke, Gu Yao cut the egg in half and gave it to the two youngest boys, the eight-year-old Zhan San girl, who could only watch. Looking back, seeing Yu Niang crying, Gu Yao smiled and said, "Yu Niang, you are too ...... When I was a child, I kept filial piety for my aunt, didn't I eat eggs for two years? ”

Zheng Zhi saw the eggs and walked over to ask Gu Yao, "Why did you boil the eggs suddenly?" ”

Gu Yao counted the days and said with a smile: "You call the ink needle." ”

After the ink needle came, Gu Yao stretched out a lot of rough hands. He pulled the corners of his sleeves up, revealing a piece of his wrist. The ink needle's gaze dodged for a moment, and under Zheng Zhi's signal, he closed his eyes and listened to the pulse.

"There's something strange about this vein. Pressed fluently, sleek as a ball—where did I see it? ”

The ink needle didn't remember, Zheng Zhi had already remembered, suddenly pushed the ink needle away, supported his wife, and asked, "When did you know?" ”

Gu Yao leaned on the man, stroked his lower abdomen, calculated the time, and said, "If nothing else, it's been almost two months, right?" ”

In other words, when I was on the road overnight a month ago, I already had a child?

Zheng Zhi was afraid for a while.

Gu Yao saw him sweating and said with a smile: "I'm fine, it's okay." ”

Zheng Zhi didn't care, turned around and instructed Yu Niang: "Go and boil an egg again." From today onwards, be sure to ensure Haruka's eggs. If you can't find Tieling, you can find it somewhere else! ”

Gu Yao hurriedly stopped: "Eggs are not irreplaceable. Isn't there a lot of beans, just boil some bean juice every day, and the children drink some too. Also, it's okay to eat meat. I see that Nanshan is not smaller than Lingshan, so you have to take the big guy to come back with some game. ”

Eggs can't come from home, but soybeans can. Zheng Zhi thought that there were not many beans in the library, so he immediately wrote a letter and asked people to send them from the post station to Shuntianfu. Of course, Zheng Zhi wants more than just low-end things like beans.

The news of Gu Yao's pregnancy soon spread in Chaihe Fort. Everyone just has the heart to pour her some food, but she is shy and can't start. In the evening of that day, Li Gensheng took two big fish and threw them into the kitchen, turned around and left.

Yu Niang was originally a tiger and a tiger, and she only restrained one or two when she arrived in Shuntian Mansion. Now that she has changed back to her old environment, she has immediately returned to her true nature. She didn't like a man like Li Gensheng the most, and when she saw him carrying a fish, she immediately stopped him, stood on the threshold, and asked condescendingly, "Where did this fish come from?" ”

Li Gensheng ignored her.

Yu Niang said: "If you don't make it clear, I will lose it." ”

She can say it, and she can do it. These two fish were not easy to come by, and Li Gensheng had to say helplessly: "I went down to the river and touched them." ”

"Chai River?"

Li Gensheng nodded.

Yu Niang stopped talking. There are fish in the Chai River, which is something that the big guys know. But the Chai River is very large, and the place where they settled is already the narrowest section, which is also more than ten zhang wide. The fish in the Chai River are all in winter, and everyone works together to break a piece of ice, put down the net, and catch as much as they can. At this time, no one dared to go down to the river.

After adding fish to dinner, Gu Yao smiled and asked, "Does anyone raise fish here?" ”

Yu Niang told the origin of the fish, Gu Yao listened to it, and said seriously: "Go back and talk to him, don't work hard." If you have the heart or the way, you might as well dig a fish pond in the open field, draw water from the river to attract fish, and try to raise your own fish. ”

"That's a great idea!"

Yu Niang happily went to tell Li Gensheng about it, and Li Gensheng was in trouble.

Fish farming, he is not much of one of them. Second, dig a fish pond and definitely not too close to the river, otherwise it will be washed away by the flood. If you are far from the riverbank...... The terrain on both sides of the Chai River is uneven, and this section of their residence is already the most gentle place. Even then, it's quite difficult to dig. Not much to say, digging a hundred zhang of river is afraid that it will take more than half a year.

What to do? It's only been a month since he came here, and Li Gensheng, who has lost no less than 20 pounds, didn't sleep all night, and went to find Zheng Zhi after dawn. Zheng Zhi looked for Gu Yao again, Gu Yao listened, blinked, and suddenly ran out to observe the surrounding vegetation.

Zheng Zhi followed her, and after walking east, west, north and south for three full days, Gu Yao suddenly collapsed.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Yao pointed to all the vegetation and said, "Here, I'm afraid it's not suitable for growing grain." Even if it is planted, the harvest is not high. ”

Zheng Zhi was puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

Gu Yao was actually not very sure, and said what he had observed: "Under our feet, not the plains. ”

Isn't it obvious that Tieling is surrounded by mountains, not plains? And what Gu Yao wants to say is that although the Northeast, or the Sanjiang Plain is more north, it is a plain and can be farmed, while Tieling, or to be precise, is the Chai River, which is not suitable.

Zheng Zhi quickly gathered everyone and expressed Gu Yao's worries. Everyone was dumbfounded, including Li Gensheng, who had done farm work. But in fact, from the first day of reclamation, when the color of the land was different from that of the south, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, even more so at this time.

But everyone here knows one thing. If what Gu Yao said is true, then they will either change places or find another way out of Chaihe Fort.

Gu Yao didn't know what Zheng Zhi had done, and when she found out that the big guy was in a low mood, she had to ask a question or two. Knowing that it was caused by her own speculation, she was speechless for a long time, and said to Zheng Zhi: "You can buy a book of agriculture and take a look!" Even if this place is not suitable for growing vegetables and grains, what about medicinal herbs? Medicinal materials are not good, this green grass all over the mountains can also raise cattle, horses and sheep, right? Especially horses, don't you know how short of horses Daming is? ”

Zheng Zhidao: "You can say all this, but everyone is afraid that they still want to live in a place where they can farm." Only in this way will you feel grounded. ”

This is true, Shinong Industry and Commerce, that farmer, second only to Shi, knows that there are many farmers nowadays.

Gu Yao thought for a while and said, "That's it, this year's meeting is over." I wrote to Song Haitang and asked her to take the time to come to Tieling. ”

"Song Haitang? She's in the capital, this time and again, let alone three months. If you add land preparation, why does it take a year, right? Isn't it embarrassing for her to let her abandon her husband and children to come here to help us? She is not the only one in the world who can farm, so why bother her? ”

Gu Yao smiled, didn't explain, handwritten the letter, and asked people to send it away.
