The moment he saw Lu Zhengan, Song Huaishu only felt that Lu Zhengan was really worthy of being Mrs. Ji's grandson, and even the words he said were the same.

Ji Yuexian saw that his old lady was chatting affectionately with Song Huaishu, so she curiously pulled Lu Zhengan's sleeve. Seeing that the other party was looking at him sideways, Ji Yuexian stretched out his head to Lu Zheng'an and whispered in his ear: "Is your brother really that?" ”

Saying that, Ji Yuexian also made a big-bellied movement.

Lu Zhengan couldn't help but feel funny when he saw his movements. But seeing the curious look in his eyes, Lu Zhengan really didn't want to say anything to him about Song Huaishu's pregnancy.

And Ji Yuexian was really curious, seeing that Lu Zhengan was as silent as a gourd with a sawed mouth, he couldn't help but be a little anxious. He was about to pull the stool to Lu Zheng'an's side, but he felt something pass by in front of him, and then there was a sharp pain in his head.

Ji Yuexian subconsciously covered her head, and when she turned her head, she saw that the old lady was putting her crutches in her hand.

Seeing that the person who beat him was his own old lady, Ji Yuexian suddenly lost his arrogance. Covering her head, she looked at Mrs. Ji with a look of grievance and asked, "Grandmother, what are you doing to beat me?" ”

"Why did you hit you?! Speaking of which, you are older than Zheng'an and Huaishu, and everyone has children who are about to be born. It's good for you, you've been married to Yuzhu for a few years and haven't been at home all day, when will I be able to hug my great-grandson?! ”

When Ji Yuexian mentioned his little wife, he suddenly felt uncomfortable. "Isn't Yuan Bao your great-grandson? As soon as the Zheng'an family comes out, you will have an extra great-great-grandson! ”

"Yuanbao belongs to your eldest brother and sister-in-law, and Zheng'an and Huaishu also have it, what about you?! I don't have four or six all day, and when I see the nonsense of Tian'er, when I go back, I will ask someone to send you to Beijing, and let you personally discipline you. ”

The old lady was scolding loudly, and Ji Liu, who was leading the maid to deliver food at the door, stood at the door and was in a dilemma for a while.

Lu Zhengan was worried that Song Huaishu would be hungry, so he hurriedly reminded: "It's not early, let's eat first, and then the old lady will continue to scold after eating." ”

Ji Yuexian thought that Lu Zhengan was helping him out of the siege, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at him.

Ji Liu, who was at the door, saw that the room had stopped, so he brought someone to bring the food box in, and after the next person put the food on the table one by one, Ji Liu took a pair of ivory chopsticks and brought them to Mrs. Ji's hand.

After Mrs. Ji took it, she raised her chin and said to her second daughter-in-law: "It's because my family doesn't have so many rules, so let's sit down and eat together." It's noon, and everyone should be hungry. ”

The food brought by Mrs. Ji was sumptuous and exquisite, but it did not fully suit Song Huaishu's appetite, and she put down her chopsticks after tasting everything in two bites.

Lu Zhengan knew that he was not used to eating these meals, but it was not good to go to the stove house alone to cook for him at the moment. Quietly glanced at Song Huaishu and asked him to be patient for a while.

Before the meal was finished, the subordinates of the Ji family took Mrs. Ji's special doctor from the town. Seeing this, Mrs. Ji saw that everyone had stopped using their chopsticks, so she instructed Mama Zhang to remove the table from the table and have the table cleaned up.

After greeting the doctor for a few words, Mrs. Ji asked Song Huaishu to stretch out her hand to check the doctor's pulse.

When the old doctor first saw Song Huaishu, a man with a big belly, thought he was suffering from some kind of illness. However, when his fingers caught Song Huaishu's pulse, he only felt that the other party's pulse was like a bead, and the pulse was faster than ordinary people.

The old doctor frowned and took a closer look at Song Huaishu, and when he saw that he was indeed a man's dress and appearance, he hesitated for a moment and said to Song Huaishu: "Trouble the father-in-law to change his other hand." ”

When Ximai was diagnosed for the first time, Song Huaishu had already had the same experience. Hearing that the old doctor asked him to change hands, he didn't hesitate, and directly put his left hand on the pulse pillow.

The old doctor stared at Song Huaishu's white wrist and took a deep breath, shook his palm vigorously, and then put his finger on it again.

The old doctor closed his eyes and carefully felt the pulse of Song Huai's book, and saw that the other party's pulse was smooth, like a bead rolling on his wrist, and he felt a great shock in his heart. The beard on his chin twitched slightly, but he didn't know how to speak.

I don't know how long it took, but Mrs. Ji couldn't help but be a little anxious when she saw that the doctor hadn't moved. He got up from the stool, approached the two of them, and asked, "Doctor Rong, how is this child?" ”

Hearing this, Dr. Rong stood up from his chair, bowed down in front of Mrs. Ji, and hesitated for a long time before speaking. "Back to the old lady's words, this ...... Well, it's a happy pulse. ”

When Dr. Rong's words fell, Mrs. Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her face was full of irrepressible joy. "So what is his body, and what should I pay attention to next?"

"This lady is in good health, well, don't be tired, pay attention to supplements, and nothing else is serious."

Hearing Dr. Rong call Song Huaishu 'madam', Mrs. Ji couldn't help but cry and laugh. However, he did not deliberately correct this problem, and waved his hand to Mama Zhang to send people out.

As soon as Dr. Rong left, the corners of Mrs. Ji's mouth rose. Pulling Song Huaishu's arm, staring at his stomach carefully for a moment, he sighed with emotion: "Zheng'an can get you as a brother, it's his blessing." ”

After that, Mrs. Ji looked at Lu Zheng'an on the side, and gently instructed: "Huaishu is heavy now, and unlike other families, you will work harder if you have any work at home." If it really doesn't work, send two subordinates to help you for a while. ”

"No, there is not much work to do at home at the moment. Moreover, the family in the village will stretch out their hands as long as they say hello, and there is no need to send someone over. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Ji looked at Lu Zhengan's smiling face, and knew that she couldn't move this grandson, so she could only give up. It's just that he privately told Ji Yuexian that when he was fine, he would take more people to Lu Zhengan's side.

After Mrs. Ji returned to the inn, she sent Mama Zhang back to Jiang'an Town overnight, and picked up some precious medicinal materials, supplements, and clothes from the warehouse and sent them to Hualong Town.

Mrs. Ji touched the materials on the car, and always felt that they were not soft enough, and the color was not bright enough.

Mama Zhang stood aside quietly waiting for Mrs. Ji to finish picking out the problem, raised her eyes and saw that there was no displeasure on the old lady's face, she bowed down and stood behind Mrs. Ji, and said softly: "Look at the two young masters who don't care about these people, the old slave thinks that you might as well find two experienced women to prepare." ”

When Mrs. Ji heard Mama Zhang's words, she immediately felt reasonable. In the countryside, there are only a few experienced stable women after all. When a mother is about to give birth, she is basically helped by her mother-in-law or neighbors in the surrounding area, and she may not even be able to save the child if she hurts the adult without knowing the proportion.

This birth was a trip through the ghost gate, and Mrs. Ji naturally did not worry that Song Huaishu would be helped by those rural village women.

"You're right, it's time to find two experienced mothers. So, when you get back in a few days, you'll start searching, and you'll be sure to get it done within those two months. ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Ji came to the inner hall on crutches, looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined on the table of the Eight Immortals, and silently recited the Buddha's name.

"At present, Huaishu's child has been six months old, and the next few months are the time when it is critical, and the child has no experience in this area, so I really can't rest assured. But this child followed his mother's stubborn nature, and I didn't know how to persuade him. ”

Mama Zhang took the old lady's arm and slowly walked to the bedroom, and after helping the old lady to sit on the chair, she turned around and poured a cup of tea for the old lady and handed it over.

"There's nothing wrong with Young Master Cousin doing this, if you rely on others for everything, then the old lady will really have a headache."

Hearing this, Mrs. Ji held the teacup and nodded approvingly.

"When you say this, I won't lift you up. Alright, let's leave it at that. You give these things to Zheng'an and Huaishu first, and the rest will be talked about later. I don't feel at ease, these two children won't go back to Ji's house with me, just make a few more trips to my wife, and I have the right to go out for a walk. ”

Hearing Mrs. Ji's words, Mama Zhang couldn't help but smile. Seeing this, Mrs. Ji blamed her, and then waved at Mama Zhang, asking her to quickly send someone to Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu to send things to Hualong Mountain.

Lu Zheng'an and Song Huaishu didn't think that Old Madam Ji could send so many things over, and after looking at the car full of silk and satin, as well as precious supplements and medicinal materials, before the two of them could say anything if they refused, Mama Zhang said respectfully: "The two young masters, the old slave is just acting on orders. Moreover, this is also a little bit of the old lady's heart, if the two of them do not accept it, the old lady is afraid that she will be sad. ”

Lu Zhengan knew that giving birth to a child was an extremely dangerous thing, so he looked at those valuable medicinal herbs and supplements, and finally gritted his teeth and put things away.

"We have accepted the things, and I bother Mama Zhang to go back and thank the old lady for us."

Seeing that Lu Zhengan actually nodded, Mama Zhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Looking up at Lu Zheng'an, who was similar to the little lady's eyebrows, Mama Zhang couldn't help but have mixed feelings, hesitated for a while, took out a jade pendant from her arms, and presented it to Lu Zheng'an with both hands.

"This jade pendant was given to the old slave by the young lady back then, and now the young master has received good news, and this jade pendant old slave gave it to the young master, which can be regarded as a thought."

Lu Zheng'an looked at the jade pendant in Mama Zhang's hand, which was like clotted fat, warm and delicate, obviously because he often played with it, and knew that this jade pendant meant something to Mama Zhang, and he hesitated for a while whether he should ask for it.

Xu saw Lu Zhengan's thoughts, and Mama Zhang smiled and took Lu Zhengan's hand and put the jade pendant in his palm.

"When the little lady was there, she once told the old slave that if she became a parent and had a baby in the future, she would have to let the old slave take care of it herself. It's a pity that the old slave didn't have this blessing, he couldn't see the birth of his cousin, and he couldn't take care of you growing up. This jade pendant is given to you, and it can be regarded as the whole of the old slave's heart. ”

"Okay, I'll take this jade pendant. I believe that my mother has a spirit in heaven, and I must have felt a piece of Mama Zhang's heart. ”

After sending Mama Zhang away, Lu Zhengan held the jade pendant given by Mama Zhang, and remained silent without speaking.

Looking at Lu Zhengan's lonely back, Song Huaishu couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his heart. He stepped forward and walked up to Lu Zheng'an's side and reached out to hold his palm.

Lu Zhengan glanced sideways at Song Huaishu, looked at the direction of Mama Zhang's carriage, and after pondering for a long time, he said to Song Huaishu: "I am really curious about what kind of character my mother is, and she can make everyone remember her good opportunity, and I still refuse to forget it." ”

"I can't imagine what kind of woman my mother is, but I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for bringing you into this world."

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan turned his head to look at Song Huaishu, looked at the distress in his eyes, and took the person into his arms with a smile. Looking at the peach orchard that had grown branches and leaves on the hillside, I couldn't help but sigh.

……

Time passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, Song Huaishu was more than seven months pregnant. At this time, Song Huaishu's belly was much bigger than before, and his movements did not have the same dexterity as before.

Lu Zhengan looked at his pot-bellied appearance, and he was even more worried about him. I can't wait to take him with me wherever I go, and if Song Huaishu is not in his sight for a moment, he will start to panic.

In this regard, Song Huaishu felt sweet and helpless, but for his own safety and for Lu Zheng'an's peace of mind, Song Huaishu would basically not go far. is to take a walk at the door, and will also say hello to Lu Zhengan in advance.

I knew that Song Huaishu was heavy, and it was inconvenient to go anywhere. Song Lanshi and Song Xiren came over to take a look when they had time, and when they saw that Lu Zhengan was eager to raise Song Huaishu as a child, they were both moved and quite funny.

Knowing that the two of them had little experience in raising children, and that some of the things that the child or the father used were all right, they prepared them for nothing. When the weather is good, wash it and dry it, and then put it in various bags, and bring it to Song Huaishu when he arrives at Lu's house.

In the past two months, the early-ripening peaches in the peach orchard on the hillside have turned red and pointy, and Lu Zhengan estimated that he would be able to pick them in a few days, so he began to prepare for the production of dried peaches.

During this period, the original green wheat fields at the foot of the mountain have also begun to turn yellow, and the breeze blows through the wheat fields, like golden sea water surging on the earth, and the scene is very spectacular from a distance.

At the end of May, the weather was already hot, and people like Song Huaishu, who were pregnant with their bodies, were even more afraid of the heat, so they changed into thin clothes early, and walked around in the shade of the tree in front of the door every day with a fan, and at night they could not even cover the quilt.

The temperature on the mountain was still cool at night, and Lu Zhengan always felt relieved when he saw Song Huai's book like this. When Dr. Zheng came to check on Song Huaishu's pulse, he asked Dr. Zheng carefully, and knowing that this was a normal situation, he was relieved.

It's just that I can't sleep well at night, so I helped Song Huaishu cover the blanket and saw that he didn't feel any discomfort, so I slept with confidence.

In order to take care of Huaishu, Lu Zheng'an directly contracted Lu Tieshui and Lu Tieniu to take care of this year's wheat field. The two families discussed that after the wheat was harvested, Lu Zhengan and his family would divide it into six or four.

Lu Tieniu and Lu Tieshui's family were originally few and crowded, and when they heard Lu Zhengan say this, they were naturally happy. However, thinking that Lu Zheng'an's family was about to add Ding to import, and that Lu Zheng'an and Song Huaishu were not thin on their brothers in normal times, the two of them and their families would have to pay less than 10% in total.

As soon as the wheat was ripe, Lu Tiezhuan and his family worked together, but after a few days' work, they were all cut and pulled home, waiting for the wheat seedlings to dry before they began to thresh.

Seeing that the peaches on the tree began to turn red, following last year's experience, Lu Zhengan prepared a lot of sugar in advance, and even made a few more shelves for drying. At the same time, he also took advantage of the gap between walking with Song Huaishu to drag a lot of dead trees and broken branches on the side of the road home, and split them and pile them next to the firewood stack.

By the time the peaches on the tree are seven or eight ripe, the wheat harvest is almost at the end. Seeing this, Lu Zhengan went to the village for a walk, and the next morning, all the capable laborers in the family carried a flat burden and carried a basket up the mountain.

Waiting for Lu Zheng'an to give an order, a cadre of people immediately entered the peach forest. Some people pick, some people carry it on the slope, even though the heat is unbearable, but it can't stop everyone's enthusiasm.

In order to make it easier for everyone to work, Lu Zheng'an had already cleaned up the yard in front of the door early on, and a row of small stools was placed under the shade of the trees, and a stack of freshly made wooden basins and barrels were also put aside for easy use.

"Xiao Song is almost the month, right? It's not a small belly. ”

The one who spoke was the sister-in-law of Lu Tiezhuan's family, whose surname was Chen, and her name was Zaohua. Different from Lu Tiezhuo's introvertedness, Chen Zaohua is very extroverted and can chat with anyone.

Song Huaishu sat on a stool to help clean the peaches, and when he heard Chen Zaohua's words, he hurriedly straightened up and looked at her. "It's only been seven months now, so it's still early."

Although talking about this topic in front of everyone made Song Huaishu feel a little embarrassed, however, the people present were all villagers from Lujia Village, and everyone was quite kind to him on weekdays.

"It's been more than seven months, and that's almost there. Try to be as active as possible on weekdays, and you can be faster when you are born. ”

The topic of Chen Zaohua began, and the women present began to talk about the many hardships of their pregnancy and childbirth.

Listening to someone say the interesting things he encountered during childbirth, Song Huaishu couldn't stop listening, stared at the people present with wide eyes, and looked forward to the birth of the child even more in his heart.

However, some people also said about the dangers they encountered when giving birth, but before they could say anything, they were diverted by Chen Zaohua and Ge Pozi. At first, the person who was interrupted thought that the two of them were targeting him, and he was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart.

It wasn't until the person next to her glanced at her in the direction of Song Huaishu that the man understood, and then shut up and said nothing more.

When Lu Zhengan came up from the slope with a basket of peaches on his back, Song Huaishu was sitting among a bunch of sisters-in-law and aunts listening to gossip. A pair of big eyes looked at everyone brightly, and their eyes were full of surprise.

Seeing Lu Zhengan coming back with a peach on his back, Song Huaishu hurriedly got up from his chair. I wanted to step forward to give Lu Zhengan a hand, but before he could get up, he was rejected by Lu Zhengan.

"You can sit down, a basket of peaches doesn't weigh much, I'll do it myself."

After that, Lu Zhengan wiped the sweat on his face with a handkerchief around his neck, looked up at the scorching sun above his head, and asked Song Huaishu, "Is it hot?" If you are thirsty, remember to remind everyone to drink it. ”

"Okay, are you tired? Do you want to take a break and go again? ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan walked up to Song Huaishu and squatted down, seeing that his hands were a little white from the blisters. And he put the peach in his hand into the basin, and removed the pot full of peaches from before him.

"Your belly is so big, it's inconvenient to bend over or anything, so don't get your hands dirty."

Song Huaishu sat for so long, and he was a little anxious for a while. Hearing Lu Zheng'an say this, he stood up with his waist and slowly walked towards the courtyard.

Looking at Song Huaishu's back, Lu Zhengan's eyes were full of doting, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose up.

Everyone looked at Lu Zheng'an's attitude towards Song Huaishu, and they couldn't help but feel a little envious in their hearts, and they couldn't help but be picky when they went home to their own man. For a while, many men in Lujia Village were scolded by their mothers-in-law, and their eyes were a little unfriendly when they looked at Lu Zhengan.
