Chapter 437 Shen Qiu is pregnant
Gu Jiandong went out on a mission, and this time with Shen Qiu here, Shen Shuyu didn't feel lonely anymore. Shen Shuyu came back from get off work quickly, and basically had to eat as soon as Shen Qiu came back.
Director Xiao of the supply and marketing cooperative knew that Shen Shuyu was his son's benefactor, and he was usually very caring towards Shen Qiu.
Of course, even if she didn't have this relationship with Shen Shuyu, Shen Qiu would have an easy time working at the supply and marketing cooperative. She is a military dependent, and there would be no stupid colleagues who would deliberately bully her.
"Sister, I bought a piece of pork ribs. Let's stew them tonight." Knowing that elder sister liked to eat pork ribs, Shen Qiu bought a piece when he passed by the meat pool and saw that there were still pork ribs.
It doesn’t take long to stew the ribs, so Shen Shuyu stewed them right away.
As soon as Shen Qiu came back, he picked up his nephew. The child was growing day by day. Anyone who saw him knew that he was Gu Jiandong's child. The father and son looked exactly the same.
Shen Shuyu often marveled at the magic of blood ties.
"Sister, Xiaoze looks like his father. He will definitely be very popular with girls when he grows up."
"I will definitely be very busy then." How could she not be busy? Just think about the time when the little girl comes to her house and calls her auntie all the time, she will have to be busy entertaining the little girl.
During dinner, Shen Shuyu placed fried eggs with leeks in front of Shen Qiu. Before Shen Qiu even started eating, he vomited at the smell.
Shen Shuyu is an experienced person. "Xiaoqiu, did you have your period this month?"
Shen Qiu hadn't thought of this. It was only when her elder sister asked her about it that she remembered that her period, which was supposed to come on the 5th of this month, had not come yet.
"No, it's been delayed for more than a week."
"Don't eat yet. Let me go to the hospital with you for a checkup."
Shen Shuyu picked up her son and went out with Shen Qiu. They went to the hospital for a check-up and only then did Shen Qiu find out that she was pregnant.
She stared at the report for a while before speaking, "Sister, am I really pregnant?"
"I'm pregnant. It's been a month."
"So am I going to be a mother?"
"Yes, Xiaoqiu is going to be a mother, be happy!"
Although she was happy, Shen Qiu found it a little hard to believe that there was a baby in her belly.
The first thing Shen Qiu did when she became pregnant was to write a letter to her family. If her grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters-in-law knew that she was pregnant, they would definitely be happy.
"Don't forget to write a letter to your parents-in-law."
"Yes, I'm writing it down."
Shen Qiu found out she was pregnant, so she slept with Shen Shuyu tonight.
"Sister, how come time flies so fast? We are already married in the blink of an eye."
Shen Qiu still vaguely remembers the scene when he and his sister were playing in the mud in the fields when they were young.
"Yeah, time flies so fast."
Shen Shuyu didn't have to go to work on Saturdays and Sundays. Mrs. Wang from next door came over and asked her if she wanted to go to the mountain with them to pick wild vegetables. Shen Shuyu thought that she had nothing to do at home.
It would be good to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. She hadn't eaten fresh wild vegetables for a long time. She had a lot of dried wild vegetables at home.
But as for vegetables, freshly picked ones are definitely more delicious.
"Sister-in-law, wait a minute, I'll go get a backpack."
There was a backpack, and Shen Shuyu simply put her son in it and carried him on her back. When she went out, white radishes and cabbages followed behind her.
Bai Caixu drinks goat's milk every day, and he looks much stronger and has more meat on his body.
White radish ran fast, and it followed behind with great effort, staring and staring. If it really couldn't catch up, it would bark a few times to ask White radish to stop and wait for it.
The white radish acted like an older brother. It couldn't run anymore, so it turned around and waited for the cabbage to run. After the cabbage had rested enough, it took the cabbage to run away.
Shen Shuyu has been here for so long but has never been to a mountain. There is a high mountain here called Daya Mountain.
The mountain is quite high, and usually no one goes up there except the villagers from the surrounding areas to collect firewood.
Shen Shuyu had just walked for half an hour when she felt exhausted. She looked up and saw that they had not yet reached the foot of the mountain. "Sister-in-law, how long will it take?"
"Almost. You're getting tired. Let's stop and rest for a while."
Shen Shuyu couldn't even walk anymore as she was too tired. She sat down and rested for more than ten minutes before they continued on their journey.
This trip included Shen Shuyu and fifteen sisters-in-law, eight of whom were carrying children on their backs.
After walking for more than an hour, they finally reached the foot of the mountain. Shen Shuyu was so tired that her breathing became uneven.
They walked and rested along the way, and it was already afternoon when they reached the halfway point of the mountain.
No wonder no one usually goes up the mountain. It’s too high. You’ll be exhausted after going up there. Who would want to go up there?
This is also because the villagers need firewood, otherwise they would not be willing to come up.
The sisters-in-law had come here several times and knew that there were wild vegetables here. When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, they decided not to climb up and just looked for wild vegetables there.
Shen Shuyu thought there would be a lot of wild vegetables, but after following her sister-in-law around, they didn't find any wild vegetables.
"Maybe all the wild vegetables in this area have been dug up. Why don't we go up a little bit?"
Now that they are here, the sisters-in-law don’t want to go back empty-handed.
Shen Shuyu also felt that she was so tired after coming up here, so she had to at least bring some wild vegetables back.
The group of people walked up again. As they walked, they saw a bamboo forest. Shen Shuyu called the sisters-in-law to stop, "Sisters-in-law, I want to see if there are any bamboo shoots."
"What are you looking at bamboo shoots for? They don't taste good. It's better to eat some wild vegetables."
"Yes, Sister Shuyu, this thing is not delicious."
Mrs. Wang said, "Sister Shuyu wants to go and have a look, so let's go and have a look. Why are you talking so much?
We think it's not tasty, but Sister Shuyu is happy to eat it."
Shen Shuyu had already walked into the bamboo forest. Bai Luobo was afraid of snakes and insects, so he ran in front of Shen Shuyu, and Shen Shuyu followed behind Bai Luobo.
The cabbage stems were small, and Shen Shuyu thought it couldn't keep up with them, but she didn't expect the little guy to have quite good physical strength.
Shen Shuyu saw a lot of bamboo shoots around, her eyes sparkling, "Sister-in-law, why don't you go up first?
I'll dig some bamboo shoots here and come back to see you when I'm done."
Shen Shuyu thought of taking all the bamboo shoots back home and making sour bamboo shoots so that she could eat them whenever she wanted.
"We came here together, so why would we leave alone and leave you behind? We don't feel safe. If you want to dig bamboo shoots, we can dig together."
"Yes, let's dig together."
As she was talking, some sisters-in-law started to dig bamboo shoots with hoes. Shen Shuyu smiled and said, "Thank you, sisters-in-law. I will make sour bamboo shoots later and send some to you."
"We are not used to eating this stuff, so you can keep it for yourself."
Mrs. Wang had never eaten sour bamboo shoots before, so she was curious about what it tasted like. “Are sour bamboo shoots delicious?”
"I think it's delicious. It can be used to stir-fry meat and go well with rice. When I'm done, I'll pack some for my sister-in-law to try."
Shen Shuyu brought up a snakeskin bag, and with so many people digging, they dug a sack in half an hour.
It looks like a lot, but when you take it home and peel the shells, there aren't that many.
"Sister Shu Yu, how are we going to carry so many of them back?" They are quite heavy. It will take two people to carry them together.
The road was steep and it was difficult for two people to carry the things together. They didn't carry anything and it was very difficult for them to go down the mountain empty-handed.
