Chapter 106: Red Wine Brewing
The days of pregnancy are always tired, Xi Menglan also became greedy and sleepy, in her sleep she smelled a faint fragrance, very familiar, suddenly she opened her eyes, just wanted to sit up, hesitated to stomach too big because of the failure.
"What does it smell like?"
Xi Menglan, who had just woken up, was still in a daze, and her mind was not so clear.
"Guess what."
Kou Juncheng dragged a bowl in his hand and slid past Xi Menglan's eyes, and the fragrant smell entered his nose again.
"Wine !!"
Xi Menglan came to her senses and understood that it was the taste of wine, and slowly sat up, leaning on the edge of the bed, and Kou Juncheng sat down with a wine bowl.
Xi Menglan looked at the wine in the bowl, dipped a little of it in her mouth with her fingers and tasted it, pursed her lips, and looked at Kou Juncheng and nodded repeatedly.
"This is my wine at home, and it worked!"
Xi Menglan grabbed Kou Juncheng's arm, the joy on her face couldn't be hidden, and she raised her hand to take the bowl in Kou Juncheng's hand, but Kou Juncheng turned around and put the bowl on the table.
"No, you're pregnant now, it's best not to get drunk, just let you taste it just now, but not now."
Xi Menglan also knew, touched her stomach, drooped her shoulders, looked at the red wine on the table, pursed her lips again, and forcibly endured the feeling of wanting to drink in her heart.
"The wine matter is settled, and the chef's matter should be asked."
Xi Menglan also lost her sleepiness, got up and walked out, originally wanted to go to the back of the vegetable cellar, but thought that her body was heavy and inconvenient, so she stood outside and took a look.
"I'll talk about the cook's affairs, you can raise the baby at home with peace of mind, it's been eight months, don't walk around when your body is so heavy, when the time comes, I'll let the second uncle come over to feed the pigs, you are not allowed to move."
Even if Xi Menglan wants to go, she can't go with a stomach, let alone the second uncle to help, even if she doesn't come, she recognizes that she is hungry pigs, she won't feed it, after all, this child is important, seeing that labor is going to be going on soon, she doesn't want anything wrong at this juncture.
Before Kou Juncheng left, the wine cellar was sealed, and Xi Menglan sat outside in the sun blowing the wind and basking in the sun, warm and comfortable.
I don't know if it's a problem with the space-time system, since changing things at home, Lao Mengtou and Song Meiyun rarely come to the door, and they seem to have forgotten that they have their daughter, it stands to reason that their daughter is pregnant and in labor, Song Meiyun should come over to accompany her, but she came to lie down, or came by the way to have a look.
Thinking of this, Xi Menglan's heart was very aggrieved, if this was in her own home in modern times, her mother would definitely accompany her every day to make food for herself, alas, it must not be the case.
"Lan Lan!"
Just when Xi Menglan was fascinated, Feng Zhenzhen stood at the door, holding a blue cloth bag in her hand, which was bulging, and she didn't know what it contained.
"Don't get up, it's inconvenient."
Feng Zhenzhen saw that Xi Menglan was about to get up, and hurriedly walked over and stopped her and didn't let her get up.
"I heard that you have difficulty moving these days and rarely go out, so I took the time to come and see you, how is it, it's all good, right?"
Feng Zhenzhen's eyes were exactly the same as when her grandmother looked at herself, and her aggrieved thoughts just now were suddenly thrown out of the clouds, holding Feng Zhenzhen's hand, and saying that she was fine.
"This is my own chicken, lay a few eggs, and give you a lot of energy."
Feng Zhenzhen wrapped the blue cloth on the grinding plate, opened it and saw that there were more than thirty eggs inside.
"I have been married since I got married, and I haven't stopped, first the old lady fell, and then it was the matter of dividing the land and family, which made me a head and two big, and I tossed and worked for a few months, and I just heard that you were pregnant, so I hurried over to see you."
Xi Menglan also heard a lot about Feng Zhenzhen's separation, the in-laws of the family are partial to the eldest, the grandfather is the second, and the food and clothing are all from the eldest family, when the family is separated, the grandfather has a pot, a bag of rice, nothing, and grandpa also told him about this when he was a child.
"My family is not doing well, how can I get something back, you can take back the eggs, we don't lack anything, you have to make up for it."
Xi Menglan knew that in the second year of their separation, her grandmother gave birth to her father, and according to the time calculation, that is, she was pregnant with her father in the past few months, and she needed to supplement her nutrition.
"I don't have anything to make up, I'm not pregnant, I'm strong, what is delicious."
Feng Zhenzhen said heartily.
"I look at you, you have a ruddy complexion, your body is so good, you will be pregnant soon, and you will still be a boy."
Xi Menglan was excited when she thought of her father, and looked at Feng Zhenzhen and said.
Feng Zhenzhen was embarrassed all of a sudden, and looked at Xi Menglan and smiled.
"Juncheng is not at home?"
After talking for a long time, she didn't see Kou Juncheng, and even the water was poured by Feng Zhenzhen herself, but she didn't care about it.
"I'm going to talk about things in the county."
"I heard that you have contracted a lot of land, and now there are more than 30 long-term workers in the family?"
Xi Menglan didn't hide it, looked at Feng Zhenzhen and nodded.
"You guys are really powerful, if you want me to say, there's nothing wrong with being a bandit, at least ......"
As she spoke, Feng Zhenzhen seemed to realize something, and quickly closed her mouth and looked around, looking at Xi Menglan with an apologetic face.
"It's okay, everyone in the village knows."
Xi Menglan took Feng Zhenzhen's hand and said softly, grandma's hands have always been warm, since she was young, unlike herself, her hands and feet are cold in winter.
"You know everything?"
Feng Zhenzhen grew her mouth and looked at her with surprise on her face and asked.
"This village is full of people rescued by the second uncle and Juncheng, and they knew their identities at that time, but everyone kept silent and lived in peace."
Xi Menglan leaned into Feng Zhenzhen's ear and whispered.
Feng Zhenzhen was shocked, got up and looked at the neighbors, her face was full of incredulity, and sat back beside her.
"The whole village is over, you guys are really amazing!"
"It's them."
Xi Menglan smiled knowingly, the two of them looked at each other, and Feng Zhenzhen also laughed.
"You have a lot of food in these lands, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but my family, before I got married, I knew that my in-laws were biased, but I didn't expect that it would be so serious, I simply regarded my second son as a fairy, we have no land, how can this bag of grain survive!"
Feng Zhenzhen drooped her head, sighed several times when she said this, and looked at Xi Menglan and said.
"Meng Lan, don't worry about telling you this, I really didn't have anyone to talk to you about it, I haven't been able to sleep all night in the past few months."
Feng Zhenzhen took Xi Menglan's hand, and her tone was full of weakness and helplessness.
