In the afternoon, Ning Xi didn't go to the shop and stayed at home to write down the steps and seasonings for making Weird Hudou and Weird Peanuts for Zhang Ying. If Zhang Ying accidentally forgot the steps, he could do it just by reading the notes.

According to the original plan, after dinner in the evening, Ning Xi and Zhang Ying stayed in the kitchen to make strange-flavored soybeans. In order to let Zhang Ying get started faster, Ning Xi did not operate it himself but stood aside to direct.

After trying a few times, Zhang Ying finally grasped the essentials of it, and started to do it with ease, so she had time to chat with Ning Xi, "By the way, I saw a woman who looked very similar to you today. Brother looked at it, and even Brother He said that the girl is very similar to you."

"The person you saw should be my aunt. She came back to take care of Ning Hong." Ning Xiuhe returned to Yao Township at this time, probably because she wanted to take this opportunity to go back and visit her grandparents or something, after all When grandma and grandpa passed away, she didn't come back either.

Zhang Ying looked surprised, "You still have an aunt."

"Hmm! I heard that I've been out of town, eh, I've been back." Ning Xi didn't explain too much, and she didn't know much about her aunt.

The next day, Ning Xi was still eating breakfast, Zhou Tong had already driven over, and today he brought his wife with him. Zhou Tong's wife Xu Ailing knew that Zhou Tong was going back to the village and wanted to go back to see her mother-in-law, because she was already pregnant. I went back for half a year.

Xu Ailing has a very good personality and is very talkative. As soon as she gets in the car, she tells Ning Xi about her and Zhou Tong.

Xu Ailing is from the imperial capital, and her family lives in a small village next to Unit 718. At that time, Zhou Tong and the others would pass by their village and Xu Ailing's house every morning when they practiced.

She always likes to sit at the door and watch them practice, and Zhou Tong fell in love with him, and then there was a scene where she chased him to hide, and finally Zhou Tong was successfully taken down, becoming the first married man in their team people.

After Zhou Tong retired from the army, Xu Ailing followed him back to his hometown.

After talking about her love history, Xu Ailing smiled again and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard Zhou Tong said that your medical skills are very good, can you help me take a look? Recently, I have pain here or there, especially my waist, I dare not touch the bed at night. , It hurts shortly after lying down, and it can be relieved by turning over for a while, and it starts to hurt after a while, sometimes the pain is so painful that I can only get up in the middle of the night and walk around the room to relieve the pain."

"Late pregnancy is like this." Ning Xi's eyes fell on Xu Ailing's belly, which had already started to slump, and it seemed that she was about to give birth. She stretched out her hand and pressed on various parts of her belly, "The baby should be ready already." It will come out in about 2-3 weeks after entering the basin."

"Ah!" Xu Ailing opened her mouth wide and looked at Ning Xi, unable to utter a word.

Zhou Tong looked a little embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, Ailing's belly is only over 6 months old."

"Impossible." Ning Xi frowned and pressed Xu Ailing's stomach, then grabbed Xu Ailing's hand and began to feel her pulse, "Go to the hospital to confirm the date?"

"I haven't been there before. Let Chinese medicine help me to get the pulse. My period is not normal. Sometimes I don't come once every two or three months. I'm used to it, and I don't care about it. I didn't have a period for more than half a year, so I felt a little In a hurry, I ran to the doctor to help me feel the pulse, and they said that I was pregnant."

In this era, there is no such thing as an obstetric examination, and most of them only go to the hospital when they give birth, and some even go to the village to find a stable woman to help deliver the baby and never go to the hospital at all.

"You must have miscalculated the date. This child is at least 9 months old, and it will come out in half a month at most."

Both Xu Ailing and Zhou Tong were dumbfounded, they looked at each other, but couldn't say a word.

After a long time, Xu Ailing said with a confused face, "Many aunts and sister-in-laws said that my belly looks like it's about to give birth, but I clearly remember that it's only 6 months old."

Zhou Tong didn't know what to use to describe his current mood. Their parents could even calculate the child's pregnancy period wrongly.

This is simply a failure.

If it wasn't for Ning Xi today, when Xu Ailing was about to give birth, the two of them would definitely not know what was going on, and when the baby came out, the two of them would be in a daze.

Ning Xi was also speechless, and she didn't know if the doctor helped Xu Ailing to count the days, or Xu Ailing did the calculations by herself, and actually counted the nine-month-old belly as six months.

This is something that only a careless parent or a careless doctor would dare to do.

Let's do this!
It was a big blow to Zhou Tong and Xu Ailing, which also caused both of them to shut up and not talk much. It was not until the car was approaching Zhang Village that Zhou Tong said, "Sister-in-law, the boss said that it is not easy to travel around now that you are pregnant. , let me go to the villages instead of you, and after looking at the fruits, let the representatives of the villages come over to discuss the acquisition, sister-in-law, do you think so?"

"Then trouble Secretary Zhou." Ning Xi agreed with a smile. She naturally believed in Zhou Tong. With his help to check it, she didn't have to run around by herself.

The car stopped at the entrance of the village, Ning Xi helped Xu Ailing out of the car, Zhou Tong took out a bunch of things from the trunk, these were bought by Xu Ailing for her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

The three of them went to Zhou's house together, and Zhou Tong chatted with his mother and went out.

"Sister-in-law, sister Ning, drink water." Zhou Min came over with two bowls of water, Xu Ailing's was a bowl of cold boiled water, and Ning Xi's bowl of water contained a bunch of grass. Although these herbs do not cause much harm to pregnant women, they are not beneficial.

Ning Xi put down the bowl and said apologetically, "Sorry, I'm pregnant, so I can't drink tea."

"Xiao Min went to mix some honey water for Xiao Ning. Pregnant women really can't drink these." Zhou's mother, who has been here, of course knows what not to drink, explained to her daughter, and said apologetically, "Xiao Ning is really sorry, Xiao Tong didn't You told us about your situation to make medicinal tea for you, fortunately you understand this, otherwise we would be sinners if we hurt you and your child."

"It's not in the way." Ning Xi smiled and shook her head, she was not petty enough to say that she would not go with Zhou Tong's family for such a trivial matter.

"Sister Ning, here." Soon Zhou Min brought a bowl of water.

"The honey is wild honey that my mother-in-law and sister-in-law harvested on the mountain. It tastes better than the ones bought outside. Xiao Min will help you pack some for Ning Jie and take it back."

Zhou Min smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Ning Xi hurriedly refused, "No need, just keep it for yourselves."

Zhou's mother smiled and waved her hand, "It's not something valuable. This is the most important thing in our family. We can't get anything else."

Hearing what Zhou's mother said, Ning Xi subconsciously looked at the house. This house is still a thatched cottage, and the furnishings in the house are very simple. The furniture is old objects that have been used for decades. Look at Zhou's mother and Zhou Min's clothes. It's very simple, and there are many patches on it.

Judging from the situation, Zhou's mother and Zhou Min's life is not easy.

Zhou's mother smiled and turned the topic to Xu Ailing, "Xiaotong said that she remembered the date wrongly, and she was due to give birth in half a month. In the past two days, Xiaomin and I rushed to collect Huang Tao, so we asked Xiaomin to come and take care of her." you."
