It's nearly July, and it's the hottest time of the year.

Shen Yuechen is nearly five months pregnant, very hard, she is happy and bad this time, and there is a bit of a bitter summer, she can hardly eat anything every day, especially oily things, she can't touch a mouthful, she vomits as much as she eats.

Wu's mother thought about it again and again, and only stewed some chicken breasts with water every day, and when it was cooked, she took out the meat and cooled it slightly, then shredded it, and then served it with various vegetables, slightly sweet, sour and soy sauce, and mixed it with her cold.

Such a combination, although simple, is very nutritious.

Shen Yuechen eats three meals a day, except for tofu and green vegetables, it is shredded chicken salad, which also alleviates the symptoms of joy a lot.

At five months this time, Shen Yuechen's belly was significantly bigger than the last time she was pregnant with her brother. Moreover, the reaction of the joy is much stronger than before.

Seeing that her face was not good, Mrs. Shen looked at the shape of her belly again, only to feel that her belly was round, and said, "Look at your reaction and the shape of your belly, this baby may be a female doll." ”

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly when she heard this, looked down at her stomach, and said, "It's good whether it's a man or a woman." ”

She has never had a patriarchal mentality, but for the Zhu family, she may be a little disappointed.

Seeing that she didn't care, Mrs. Shen also smiled and said, "Yes, whether it's a man or a woman, it's Bao'er." You have already added a son to the Zhu family, and you have merit, and you have added a daughter, and you have both children to make up a "good" word. ”

Mrs. Shen returned to Texas this time to escape the summer.

On Shen Zhiyun's side, now that everything is settled, even if they don't want to, they have to settle down for the time being and live a good life there.

Mrs. Shen is old, and she can't stand it, the hot and humid weather over there, so she comes back to live for a few days, and then goes over to have a look after the spring of the next year.

The old lady's body is quite tough, and after a long journey, after coming back, she came to Zhu's house without resting for a few days.

Shen Yuechen was pregnant and had difficulty moving, so the old lady came to see her in person.

The friendship between the ancestors and grandchildren is deep, so that the two elders of the Zhu family can't help but feel warm when they see it.

Old Mrs. Shen and Shen Yuechen talked in one place for a long time, and waited until Brother Xuan'er woke up from his nap.

Brother Xuan was like a little ball of meat, nestled in Mrs. Shen's arms, not crying or making trouble, just laughing vigorously.

Old Mrs. Shen was so rare that she held his face and kissed him again and again.

Brother Xuan was kissed and giggled, like a coquettish kitten, nestled in the old lady's arms and writhed.

Old Lady Shen smiled lovingly, and her eyes were so soft that they were about to drip water.

"I thought Brother Ming was the most lively. But it seems that Brother Xuan is also a lively person, it is good to be lively, and the lively child is smart. ”

Shen Yuechen was also very happy to see that Brother Xuan and her grandmother got along harmoniously and beautifully.

Brother Ming's liveliness is because of his age, while Brother Xuan is by nature, this child is born to laugh, but he doesn't recognize life very much, and his personality is extroverted.

However, the child is still too young, and there may be changes in the future.

Old Mrs. Shen hugged Brother Xuan for a long time and didn't want to let go, even if she was tired, she didn't say anything, and said, "It's a good time for you now, there are so many treasures around you, sticking and hurting." Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh slightly, "My old house is very deserted, and I don't even have a child to play." ”

Shen Yuechen also knew that her grandmother was lonely, so she said, "If your grandmother feels lonely, she often comes over to sit down." I am not in good health now, and when I give birth to my child, I will always take my child back to see you. ”

Old Lady Shen nodded happily when she heard this: "Even if you don't say it, I will come often." ”

After sending my grandmother away, it was already time to take a nap. But Shen Yuechen still went back to the bed and lay down for a while.

In the evening, when Zhu Jintang came back from outside, he brought a lot of food boxes.

Cui Xin stepped forward to pick it up, and before she could ask a question, she heard Zhu Jintang say: "These are all prepared for the eldest grandmother, you take them to the kitchen and put them on the stove to heat up." ”

Cui Xin nodded and smiled when she heard this, and hurriedly answered yes.

Shen Yuechen was awake, and when she heard their voices, she sat up and said, "Uncle is back." ”

Before she got up, Zhu Jintang gently pressed her shoulder and smiled, "You lie down yours." When I came back, I went to Lie Su Anzhai, their vegetarian dishes are very delicious and exquisite, I want a few servings back, you can taste them when you go back, and see if you have the right appetite. ”

Shen Yuechen smiled gently, "Thank you, uncle, the concubine must eat more." ”

Zhu Jintang stroked her forehead and continued, "I heard that your grandmother is back. ”

Shen Yuechen responded: "Yes, I arrived the day before yesterday, and the old lady didn't have much rest, so she came to see me." My grandmother was a little lonely alone in the old house, and I wished she could come and sit often. Grandmother, she likes Brother Xuan very much, and she hugs her as soon as she comes over......"

Zhu Jintang nodded: "Go back, I'll ask someone to prepare some gifts to send over to relieve the old lady's boredom." ”

As she spoke, Shen Yuechen suddenly remembered what her grandmother said, lowered her head and touched her belly, and said, "Grandmother came over today and touched my belly and said, my belly is round in shape, and it is estimated that it will be a daughter." ”

Zhu Jintang smiled softly when he heard this, and put his big palm on her stomach, "The old man still has the ability to be an unpredictable prophet. Whether it's a girl, if you have a daughter like you, she must be a caring and good child when she grows up. ”

Shen Yuechen listened to the half-joking tone, and the worries in her heart disappeared.

The long house already has two sons, and the eldest son and the second son seem to have a double insurance for the long house.

Zhu Jintang has nothing to worry about, and Changfang has nothing to worry about.

If it's a daughter, that's fine.

Zhu Jintang's current mentality is the same as Shen Yuechen's, that is, go with the flow.

Su Anzhai is a restaurant that has not been opened for a long time, and it specializes in vegetarian dishes, and its reputation in Dezhou City has just opened, but the business is good.

Texans love meat, and the most particular thing is to roast chicken and meat.

Vegetarian dishes seem to be light, but if you want to do it well, you need to be careful and exquisite, and you don't have to have less meat dishes at all, but you need to be more refined.

Shen Yuechen tasted a few bites, only to feel that the taste was good. However, compared with Wu's mother's craftsmanship, it is still slightly inferior.

After dinner, Zhu Jintang went to the study to read the account book, and Shen Yuechen walked around the room twice to digest and digest the food.

She was wandering around the house, and Chun Ming happened to come over to talk to her.

Chun Ming is now following Mother Wu and taking care of the courtyard inside and out very carefully.

Chun Ming did things neatly, and Shen Yuechen also saved a lot of worries.

After finishing the business, Chun Ming inadvertently said a few words of gossip to Shen Yuechen.

"Grandma, the slave maid went to the second room to deliver something today, but I heard that Aunt Tao and Sister Yue are sick."

"Sick?" Shen Yuechen frowned slightly. "What disease?"

Chun Ming lowered her voice a little and said: "The slaves don't know either, but I heard those maids say that Aunt Tao is very sick this time, her body is hot, she vomits, she can't wake up every day, and Sister Yue is also affected...... The slaves and maids were also very worried, not to be seriously ill, but they said that they invited a doctor to come and see them, but they all said that they could not see the cause of the disease. That's why some people say that it collided with something unquiet......"

Aunt Tao hasn't eaten a drop of water for several days, but she still vomits, her body also has a continuous high fever, and she can't sleep in bed all day, and Zhu Qingyue is also sick, and she seems to be infected with something.

Shen Yuechen's eyebrows frowned even tighter: "Since it's sick, how can you not see the cause?" Who is the doctor they are hiring? But Dr. Lu? ”

Chun Ming shook her head and said, "Doctor Lu is specially for the eldest grandmother, where can it be Aunt Tao's turn?" ”

Shen Yuechen is still very concerned about Aunt Tao's situation.

Adults can survive when they are sick, but Zhu Qingyue is so young, how can she survive the torture of illness?

Chunming was originally just gossiping with Shen Yuechen, but she didn't expect her to care so much, "Miss, you seem to be very concerned about this matter?" ”

Shen Yuechen said lightly: "Of course I care, if it's really a summer plague, it's not a joke." That won't work, why don't you ask Dr. Lu to go over and take a look and see what's going on? ”

Chun Ming hesitated slightly: "In the matter of the second room, if the young lady intervenes directly, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

Shen Yuechen looked at her and said seriously: "It's okay if I'm nosy." Dr. Lu's medical skills are excellent, let him go over and take a look, and I will be relieved. In case this is a summer plague, let alone a second room, the entire Zhu family may be affected ......"

When Chun Ming heard this, she realized how powerful the matter was, and nodded her head again and again, "Yes, the slave will arrange it." ”

Shen Yuechen didn't know what the situation was in the second room, but just half a month ago, she met Xiao Tao in the garden, she was still very good at that time, holding Zhu Qingyue to see the koi in the pond, looking radiant.

It's so strange to be so sick and have no cause.

Shen Yuechen's body was conditioned by Dr. Lu, so she still trusted his ability and medical skills very much.

Lu Changfeng took the meaning of the eldest grandmother and went over to visit Aunt Tao.

As soon as he entered the room, he moved his nose with some sensitivity.

Aunt Tao was lying on the bed, although it was hot outside, her body was still covered with a thick quilt, and her face was dull and her limbs were weak.

Listening to the maid next to her, she now feels that she can't even sit up, and she has to sleep for more than ten hours a day, and she often can't wake up.

In Aunt Tao's room, there are only a few little maids on errands, and the rest of the people are also unwell and have been placed in the backyard to recuperate.

Doctor Lu just listened to their descriptions, and thought that Aunt Tao was really infected with the summer plague.

He quickly sat on the edge of the bed with bated breath and stretched out his finger to call his pulse.

After pondering for a moment, his brow furrowed like the word "Chuan".

This thing seems to be more difficult than the phenomenon.

Dr. Lu couldn't tell what disease she had from Xiao Tao's pulse, but his intuition from years of medical practice told her that Aunt Tao's illness was man-made, not accidental.

Lu Changfeng first prescribed two prescriptions for clearing heat and detoxifying, and then hurried to the west courtyard.

Shen Yuechen saw that he came suddenly, so she asked, "Doctor Lu, how is the situation on the other side of the second room?" Can it really be a summer plague? ”

Lu Changfeng's face was embarrassed, he hesitated for a while, but he still shook his head and said: "According to the old man's many years of medical practice, Aunt Tao's illness is indeed similar to the summer plague, but from the pulse point of view, it is not a summer plague. ”

Shen Yuechen also felt strange, "Since it's not a summer plague, why is it infecting the people around you?" And, the sicker you get? ”

Lu Changfeng cleared his throat and said, "Grandma, Rong Lao Shen has a lot of words, Aunt Tao's illness may be caused by man......"

Man-made? Shen Yuechen pondered for a while, then understood, and suddenly said, "You mean poisoning?" ”
