Chapter 11: Chinese New Year
When she was waiting for Chunyue to get the mat, Shumo told her about what Li Bokang said this morning about rewarding the family with a month's monthly salary.
Speaking of this, Shumo also said to her: "By the way, I haven't congratulated Mrs. yet, congratulations to Mrs. ”
Yang Xue was speechless for a while, and then said after a while: "The master said that he would reward it." ”
After finishing speaking, a question suddenly came to mind, so I asked again: "Have you rewarded it?" If you don't, add another half a month. ”
Shumo hurriedly said: "Mrs. Hui, I haven't sent it yet, I have thanked Mrs. for them, they must be happy to know it." ”
"Hmm."
As soon as they finished speaking, Harutsuki came with a mat.
After sitting down, she asked Shumo to pay some money to Chunhua's sister-in-law, and asked Chunhua's sister-in-law to go to the street to buy some meat and vegetables and come back.
After thinking about it, he finally asked Shumo to arrange for someone to go with Chunhua's sister-in-law.
Although Shumo is now the housekeeper of the family, she mainly keeps the money herself, and she will give Shumo some money every month for the family.
Fifty taels of silver a month, not much, but it is enough for their family's expenses for a month, and she has already given it more.
Of course, if something urgent happens and needs money, she will also give it again.
Now, the monthly silver of calligraphy and ink at home is one or two silver a month, and the spring moon is less, five hundred wen a month.
As for Laixing and Laishu, because they have not been here for a long time, they have one hundred and fifty yuan per month, and two sets of coarse cotton clothes per quarter.
Chunhua's sister-in-law is recruited from outside, and it is only 100 wen per month, but this income is already a lot for them, after all, it also includes food and accommodation.
So in this way, this reward will cost two or three taels of silver, including Uncle Laifu who is far away in Jincheng.
Two or three taels of silver is enough for their family's expenses for a long time.
In the evening, the meals at home are very good, stewed chicken soup, stir-fried meat with cabbage, and a fried vegetarian dish.
This is already a big meal for the newcomers of the family, although there is meat on weekdays, but not as much as today, and there is no chicken to eat.
So, they all ate very happily, don't ask her why she knows, she is the master and has a way.
When she went to bed at night, Yang Xue told Li Bokang about today's daytime, and went to sleep after speaking.
After she fell asleep, Li Bokang thought of the scene when he went to the hospital today to ask the doctor about the situation.
Today, for the first time, he went to do his own private business while in the office.
Before he went to the government this morning, he went to ask Chunyue the name of the medical hall they went to yesterday, and not long after the office, he took the time to go to Huasheng Hall.
When he arrived today, Watson Hall was still the same old doctor Hua who was seeing a doctor.
Because he came at the time of the Shangya, he didn't change out of his official uniform, and the people in the medical hall hurriedly saluted him when they saw it.
He felt a little embarrassed that he had come to cause trouble to others, so he hurried to let those people be excused.
Soon, the people in the infirmary were almost gone, and he stepped forward to inquire about his concerns.
When he sat down, Doctor Hua was about to salute him, but he hurriedly stopped him.
Next, he asked Dr. Hua: "Dr. Hua, I want to ask, is it normal for people who have just become pregnant to be sleepy?" ”
Doctor Hua looked at him and asked, "Is it the wife of the county magistrate?" ”
Now the people in the county basically know the situation in their family, so there is nothing wrong with Dr. Hua asking this.
Li Bokang replied: "Yes, the official's wife came to your hospital yesterday to see it, saying that she was pregnant for a month, and yesterday I went back to listen to the maid at home say that the inner family slept for a long time, slept very early at night, and got up very late this morning. ”
"She doesn't usually do this, so I want to ask the doctor, is it normal for her to be sleepy like this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dr. Hua thought of Yang Xue and the others who came to the hospital yesterday, and she was diagnosed with a pregnancy in the hospital yesterday.
Thinking of this, Dr. Hua carefully looked at the Li County Order in front of him.
Although Li Bokang was very worried, the expression on his face was fine, but Dr. Hua had also experienced a lot of these things, and he knew that he was really worried and would come to the hospital to ask.
Thinking of this, he asked, "Does Mrs. Zun have anything else besides drowsiness?" ”
"Yes, her mood changes quickly."
"Anything else?"
"Not anymore, that's all."
"Mrs. Zun is fine, these symptoms mentioned by the county magistrate are all normal reactions of pregnant women, but some are early and some are late, and some are not, which is also based on everyone's physique, and some people will not react."
Dr. Hua explained to Li Bokang the cause of the symptoms he said.
Li Bokang listened very carefully.
Seeing that he was listening carefully, Dr. Hua told him a lot of normal reactions of pregnant women.
For example, some pregnant women sometimes can't eat and vomit when they eat, while others have a big appetite and want to eat everything.
In addition, pregnant women sometimes feel tired and weak.
In addition, some pregnant women may have swelling of the body, back pain, cramps, etc. after a long time.
Later, Dr. Hua also said: "These are normal reactions of pregnant women, and the county magistrate does not have to worry." If the prefectural magistrate is really worried at that time, you can ask the doctor to see Mrs. Zun, or you can ask the doctor to give some advice. ”
Li Bokang was very serious when Dr. Hua said this, and he couldn't wait for the pen and paper to write it down.
After he finished digesting it, he asked, "Then can I ask Dr. Hua to come to the house to see my insider?" ”
"Absolutely."
After thanking Dr. Hua repeatedly, he immediately returned to the county office.
The memory was broken here, and he looked down at his beloved wife who was sleeping soundly, and felt both happy and distressed in his heart, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.
Within two days, the land in the yard was cleaned up, and some cabbage seeds and radish seeds were sprinkled, but I don't know if I can harvest a little this year.
It's time for the Chinese New Year soon.
This year is their first year in Miyang, and it is also Li Bokang's first year as an official.
In addition, they got married in July this year and found out to be pregnant in November, both of them feel that this year is a festive year, and they both think that this year's New Year must be lively.
Therefore, this year, they have prepared a lot of New Year's goods at home, and some families in the county have come to give them New Year's gifts, so there are even more things.
Before the Chinese New Year, Li Bokang also invited colleagues from the county government to have a meal at home, and also introduced her to them, the county magistrate's wife.
Because there are many happy events this year, and the subordinates in the house are paid an extra month's salary, and the two of them are also from afar.
This year, the whole family kept a vigil together, but she was asleep before the vigil didn't take long.
