Before dinner at night, Tang Mei just finished wrapping two quilts.

Tang Mei said "Okay", and Lu Miao immediately walked over holding her back.

Touching Tang Mei's folded quilt, Lu Miao couldn't stop smiling:
  "So soft, so light."

Under the kerosene lamp, Tang Mei rarely showed a warm and gentle smile:
  "You have a good idea. The quilt made of this silk is great."

Lu Miao looked at her and smiled even more happily.

She leaned forward slightly to touch the quilt. Tang Mei looked at her and smiled for a while, then folded the quilt and sent it back to her room.

Later, the young couple will put it in the cupboard by themselves.

Tang Mei went into the kitchen and drove the young couple into the main room to wait for dinner. She wrapped herself around her clothes and worked in an orderly manner in front of the stove.

After the food was served, someone knocked on the door of the house again.

He Hongjin walked over under the moonlight with insects chirping, carrying a bag of lotus root powder weighing two to three kilograms.

Ever since Tang Mei came over, He Hongjin and Chen Guifen didn't come here very often.

Usually when I come here, I either have something to do or give something away.

"Your aunt heard that lotus root powder nourishes blood or something, so she asked you to bring it to your wife to drink."

"I know, uncle, have you eaten? There's just enough food at home."

Fu Jingyou took the things and pulled He Hongjin into the house.

Lu Miao also poured a jar of cold white water from the elephant trunk pot. He supported his waist with one hand and held the jar with the other:
  "Uncle, come in and sit down, ask Brother You to chat with you for a while."

He Hongjin had just been pushing and shoving Fu Jingyou, but when he saw Lu Miao coming over with a bulging belly, he tensed up and quickly took the enamel jar:
  "Stop working so hard, you have such a big belly, I will have to take care of you soon."

[Dialect saying: cooking = taking care of. 】

He Hongjin was really nervous about Lu Miao's belly.

I felt pregnant in May and June.

Now that we are entering July, it seems to be getting bigger again.

He Hongjin was worried about whether there was a problem with the previous injection in the county.

At that time, I was still thinking about whether I could give birth to a chubby little piglet-like boy.

Now it seems that I am really going to give birth to a fat baby weighing [-] pounds.

He Hongjin sat at the table and smiled happily, staring at Lu Miao's belly curiously.

Worried that Lu Miao would mind, He Hongjin looked away after taking a peek.

Turning to Fu Jingyou, he chatted about business with Fu Jingyou.

Lu Miao kept standing next to him, and then went to the kitchen while protecting his stomach.

Keep Tang Mei company, and give her a beating by the way.

Tang Mei brought a small bench for her to sit on and didn't ask her to do anything.

During this period, he glanced sideways at her slender figure and heavily loaded belly, and said:

"Has the child's name been chosen yet?"

"Take it. The girl's name is Mingxia, and the boy's name is Mingyi."

"Did you take it or did he take it?"

"We took them together."

Lu Miao responded with a smile.

Thinking of something, she touched her belly and softened her tone to chat with Tang Mei:

"If you wait until the baby is born, should you be called grandma or great-aunt?"

"all good."

Tang Mei looked at her and smiled, then neatly scooped out the rice from the pot.

After boiling the crispy yellow crispy rice with porridge, she steamed a bowl of snow clams with brown sugar and red dates in the back pot of hot water.

Then he walked out with the dishes in hand.

He Hongjin met Tang Mei and was about to leave the table.

He Hongjin just entered the room to chat with Fu Jingyou and sat down on the main seat.

Tang Mei was Lu Miao's mother-in-law, and He Hongjin claimed that he was not a real blood relative of the Fu family, so he wanted to give up the throne.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood up, Tang Mei, who had never spoken much, suddenly smiled, and her voice softened when she spoke:

"Just sit there, don't move around." "Uh... eh."

He Hongjin rubbed his head, groping around, and then he really sat back down.

The reason why He Hong came here was not because of anything else, but because of what Lu Miao said two days ago.

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and the early season rice in the fields has to be harvested.

Before the rice is harvested, those rice flower fish must be sold.

He Hongjin came over and asked Lu Miao how to catch this fish and then sell it overseas.

Fu Jingyou said: "I have already informed the county. There will be a new policy coming soon. This fish should be easy to sell...wait for two days. After two days, I will ride my bike and ask again."

He Hongjin nodded.

Lu Miao stood beside Fu Jingyou, stroking her belly, and continued:
  "It's easy to catch fish. Cut the water outlet into a small size and let the water release slowly."

“With less water in the fields, the fish will follow the current and move to lower ground.”

It was in the hole dug in advance.

Most of the fish will swim over.

If you don't swim over, just go back and grab the bucket or frame.

"Okay, I'll go think about it and get ready."

He Hongjin nodded thoughtfully:

"If this rice flower fish can work, no matter whether it sells well or not, from now on we will allocate one or two acres of land to raise it every season. Later, we will share it among our own team."

He Hongjin's words were his true thoughts, and they were also an indirect reminder to Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou.

Don't let them get too stressed out.

If there is no market, you can just keep it for the team to eat.

I paid a few cents from door to door, and each person got some fish back, which was not considered a loss.

Even if the members have ideas in their minds, they are too embarrassed to say anything.

Fu Jingyou casually touched Lu Miao's hand on his shoulder, held it in his hand and squeezed it:

"Uncle, let's take a look first. It's just a matter of these two days. We will know the result by then."

"Row."

Anyway, we’ll know what the result will be in the next two days, so there’s no point in being anxious, just wait!
  He Hongjin didn't eat at Fu's house.

He came here after dinner, had a cup of tea at Fu's house, and then left after settling the matter.

Before leaving, I didn’t forget to tell the young couple how to drink lotus root starch.

The door to the Fu family hall was bolted again.

Tang Mei saw Fu Jingyou's usual kindness to Lu Miao, and also saw the He family's attitude towards Lu Miao.

At the dinner table, Tang Mei raised her head and gave a serious instruction:
  "From now on, you must be filial to your elders. When you marry, your parents-in-law are also your biological mothers and father-in-law."

"I understand, auntie... let's eat first."

Tang Mei nodded, knowing that Lu Miao had a strong idea, so she only mentioned one or two sentences and stopped.

After washing up and going to bed at night, Lu Miao crossed one leg and straightened the other leg slightly to rest on Fu Jingyou's leg.

She has been having cramps at night recently, and if she massages them before going to bed, she will feel better at night.

I just feel like my stomach is obviously a little heavier.

I used to go out for a walk and pick mulberry leaves without any problems, but these two days I feel tired just sitting there.

The more comfortable the man squeezed her legs, the more Lu Miao grumbled, her eyes turning red and feeling aggrieved.

"What's wrong, you want to cry again? Huh?"

Fu Jingyou freed up his hand and scraped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his rough thumb.

Lu Miao leaned back on the bed with both hands and puffed out his mouth in anger.

He pushed his belly forward and complained squeamishly:
  "I'm almost exhausted... If I had known it would be so difficult to give birth, I should have asked you to give birth in the first place!"

"You're talking nonsense again. How can a man give birth to a child?"

"Why not? Just watch Fu Jingyou. When technology develops in the future, men will also be able to give birth... As long as they live long enough, they will be able to see everything in the future!"

"Okay, let's live a long life together, eh?"

Fu Jingyou laughed dumbly. (End of chapter)
