Chapter 131: Drawbacks
However, only one day has passed, Shen Luzhu's pulse will naturally not be any different, and Grandpa Shen is just asking for peace of mind: "There is no problem, the pulse is stable and powerful, and the complexion is much more ruddy than yesterday, it is still the one that needs to be paid attention to before, if you still can't eat meat, eat more eggs and beans and the like, these reactions are different for everyone after pregnancy, and the time is also long and short, as long as it is not too serious, don't worry too much."
Shen Luzhu nodded and looked at Chu Yi and said, "Look, I'll just say I'm fine!" Grandpa, Auntie help me persuade Chu Yi and Xiuxiu to do a few of them, my body is very good, it's just a normal pregnancy reaction, you don't have to treat me like a paper doll, the family can't wait to go for me now!"
Mother Shen looked at her daughter with a very distressed look, and poked her finger lightly on her forehead and complained, "You little conscienceless, Chu Yi is taking care of you, and you still complain!"
Shen Luzhu rubbed his forehead and hid beside Chu Yi: "How can I complain, it's just that I don't want the whole family to be too nervous because of this, didn't Daddy tell me yesterday not to lie down all the time!"
Mother Shen glanced at Shen Luzhu with a smile, and said to Chu Yi beside her, "Ayi, don't be like her, she has been spoiled by us for her little nature! But her father is right, this pregnant woman really can't tell her to lie down all the time, she has to move more appropriately, and she can't make up too much, otherwise when the time comes, the child will be too big, and the adults will suffer with it."
When Shen Luzhu heard this, he stretched out his hand and poked Chu Yi beside him, and happened to be looked at by Shen's mother: "But Ayi is doing the right thing, it's Luzhu you!"
"Auntie, I'm fine!"
"It's good for pregnant women to be more active, but that's what I'm talking about is that after the first three months, the fetus has been sitting firmly, like you, who is shallow, or pay more attention, your aunt and I have been a midwife in this village for half my life, what kind of haven't I seen, pregnant with a child, no matter what your body and bones are, whether the reaction is big or not, you have to be careful, you have to be careful, you have to be obedient, don't be reckless!"
Shen Luzhu nodded heavily and promised, "Don't worry, Ah Niang, I will definitely be obedient!"
Everyone in the Shen family was afraid that Shen Luzhu would be tired, so they chatted for a while in the hall, and Shen's mother accompanied Shen Luzhu back to the house before she got married, Chu Yi continued to stay in the hall and talked to everyone in the Shen family, Chu Li was taken out to play by Shen Luzhu's little cousin Shen Changshan, and Chu Xiuxiu followed Shen Luzhu together.
Shen Luzhu entered the house, and Shen's mother spread a bed quilt on the kang, signaling her daughter to go up and sit more comfortably.
"Auntie, I can't see the meat problem, will it be better in a while?"
Shen's mother didn't doubt him: "What, are you hungry for meat? Otherwise, A-Niang will stew you a chicken soup at noon in a while, and you can try it while you eat it?"
Shen Luzhu hurriedly waved his hand: "Without A-Niang, I'm not hungry for meat, it's just that Chu Yicheng follows me to eat some clear soup and little water, and there is no oil at all, I am afraid that he will not be able to eat it, so I persuaded him and didn't listen, and besides, I can't cook like this, I can't always solve it at the aunt next door."
"That's right, the son-in-law is from a man's family, and he has to do work during the day, so it's unbearable to always do this, but it's his intention to accompany you, if you always persuade him, I'm afraid it will make people feel cold."
"What then?"
Mother Shen pondered for a moment and said: "It's better to be like this, anyway, I don't have a big deal at home, there are your second aunt and a few sisters-in-law at home, I'll go to your place tomorrow to cook for you, so that you don't have to go to the next door to eat, the son-in-law likes to accompany you, so ask him to accompany me, I will make more every time, leave him some normal meals warm in the pot, he can eat at any time when he wants to eat, so that he can accompany you again, and he will not always eat lightly and his body can't bear it!"
"Auntie, it's good that you do this, but we have a lot of things waiting for you to do at home, why is my daughter embarrassed to let you toss back and forth every day."
Mother Shen disagreed and said, "How can this be called a toss, do your daughter and son-in-law a favor, isn't it that you are pregnant!"
Chu Xiuxiu interjected beside Shen Luzhu
"Sister-in-law, Aunt Shen, let me do it, I can also cook for the family, when Grandma used to cook, I helped by the side, so I saved my aunt from running on both sides!"
Shen Luzhu rubbed the bun on Chu Xiuxiu's head, and said with a smile: "Our Xiuxiu is really getting more and more sensible, but you are still young, we are not in a hurry to cook on the stove!"
"But sister-in-law......
"Xiuxiu, you just listen to your cousin-in-law, you are still young, your aunt is not too tossed, so it's decided, I'll go to your house to cook tomorrow!"
Shen Luzhu shook his head: "No need A-Niang, you reminded me just now, I can find someone else to help cook, just ask an aunt to come to the house to help in the village, so A-Niang doesn't have to toss, Xiuxiu doesn't have to cook, isn't it just right!"
"Personally, please? Doesn't that cost money?"
"Ask someone to help with the work, then it must be to give money to others, but don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely find a daughter who saves money and has good craftsmanship!"
Shen's mother glanced at her daughter, "Cheap and good? Listen to you fooling around! It's done, I won't get involved in this matter, you just have to do it yourself!"
Thinking of a solution to the matter of eating, Shen Luzhu took advantage of the fact that there were only himself, Shen's mother and Chu Xiuxiu in the house, and asked about one thing that he had just remembered in his heart: "Auntie, is there something wrong with the mosquito repellent business that the second brother and his cousin do?" How do you feel about this today, Auntie, you and the second aunt, you are a little weird, what can't you tell me?"
"What's wrong? Isn't it just a deal, what can I do, and I can't tell you that I can't hide it?"
Shen Luzhu carefully looked at Shen's mother's expression, and shook his head slowly: "No, you must have something to hide from me, Sister-in-law Fang Cai also said that this year's business is not good, how is it not good, why should A-Niang hide it from me, tell me, maybe I can help something!"
Mother Shen sighed lightly when she heard this: "It's not that I'm hiding it from you, how can I only make money and not lose money in this business, and I have always been obedient!" It's just that this year's income is not as much as in the first year, and your second brother and they are not just farming, and they want to learn from you to do some private work and earn some money by themselves, and the family does not live on this, so if the business is not good, then earn less."
"Auntie, what do you have to tell me about this! But it shouldn't be, it wasn't quite popular last year, why is it suddenly bad this year?"
"I don't blame your second brother for this, I said I don't want you two to know, you just suffered such a big thing a year ago, and you were busy separating the family during the New Year, and then you were renovating the yard and the house, and you can't be busy with your own affairs, why bother to distract you from this matter, now that you are pregnant with a child, I don't want to ask you to bother with it, so I told your second brother not to tell you!"
Shen Luzhu knew that his family felt sorry for him, but he didn't really mind, so he just continued to persuade: "Ah Niang, isn't she seeing me outside, but she's just helping to come up with ideas, so what's the trouble to bother! What kind of bad method is it, Ah Niang, tell me in detail, it's boring to stay left and right, it's better to use your brain!"
Shen's mother couldn't resist her daughter, so she could only say truthfully: "There's nothing to talk about, isn't it just those medicine shops and medical halls in the town, last year I saw that this mosquito repellent medicinal oil and medicinal wine can earn silver, and this year they have done it early, so many people are selling, so the business is naturally not as good as last year, what can you think of, can you still ask others to sell it?"
Shen Luzhu stuck out her tongue, she really didn't have this ability: "Then I can think of other ways, and it's not the only way."
"Cheng, then you can think slowly, this matter is not in a hurry, but now you have to lie down for me to rest for a while, I said that it has been all morning, you are not tired, my grandson is tired, A-Niang is going to cook, you are so resting! If Xiuxiu is tired, she will lie down and sleep for a while, and if she is bored, she will go out for a stroll, and treat her aunt's house as her own home, so don't be embarrassed!"
"Thank you, aunt, I'm here with my sister-in-law!"
The more Shen's mother looked at Chu Xiuxiu, the more she liked it, and said with a smile: "What a good boy!"
In the hall, Grandpa Shen had already taken Shen Chuanbai with him
went to the pharmacy in the front yard, Chu Yi was chatting with the men of the Shen family, and when he saw Shen's mother passing by outside the hall and entering the stove room, he got up and said that he wanted to enter the house to take a look at Shen Luzhu, and Shen's father naturally agreed.
When Chu Yi pushed the door in, Shen Luzhu was taking Chu Xiuxiu to fiddle with her gadgets before she got married, and when she heard someone open the door, she thought that Shen's mother had gone and returned, so she closed her eyes and lay down, and did not forget to pull up her little quilt and pretend to sleep.
Chu Yi was amused by his wife's actions and shook his head again and again, walked over softly, and reached out to pinch Shen Luzhu's nose.
His nose was pinched, and his breathing was suddenly unsmooth, Shen Luzhu opened his eyes suddenly, and when he saw that it was Chu Yizheng staring at him with a smile, he breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out his hand and waved his hand away: "Scared me, I thought it was A-Niang!"
"What bad things are you doing?"
Shen Luzhu's eyes widened, trying to make Chu Yi see his sincerity from inside: "How is it possible!"
Chu Yi raised his eyebrows, and did not debunk his wife's little tricks, but talked about the side matter: "When I first went to the backyard with my second brother to herd the ox cart, I saw a lot of herbs piled up in the yard, and the cauldron for mosquito repellent seemed to be idle, I don't know if there was something wrong with the sale."
"There is something wrong, I have already asked Ah Niang, saying that this year, the pharmacies and medical halls in the town have started to sell our mosquito repellent oil and medicinal wine, and there are more people doing it, so the business is naturally not good."
Chu Yi nodded, this medicinal oil and medicinal wine is not like their burning paper and paper ingots, it is estimated that people who understand medicine and medicine will do it, even if the recipe is different, but as long as the effect is almost the same, how can anyone who buys things care about this.
"I remember that last year I also talked about some other types of mosquito repellents, or I asked the second brother to change their style?"
"I'm thinking about it too, but I'm afraid that it won't be sold for too long and it will be imitated, so when I think about it again, I have a clue when I go back, and then I can discuss it with the second brothers!"
Shen Luzhu is still a little worried, this is the disadvantage of not having intellectual property rights in ancient times!
