Chapter 25 Pregnant
Li Yan pulled He Qianqian up and said, "Come and have dinner. We'll go to Granny Tao for a physical checkup later."
I'll also plant some spice plants."
"Why do you want a physical examination?"
"You seem to have gained some weight, and the swelling on your face has healed a lot."
Li Yan looked at her with burning eyes. Even though they were inseparable and saw each other all day long, he could still see that she had changed a lot. The good news was that she was getting more and more beautiful.
He Qianqian touched her face and found her skin smoother. She looked at herself in the water in the basin and it seemed to have become whiter.
"That's because of the breeder Li Yan. He cooked delicious meals and made me fat." He smiled at him and couldn't help but praise him.
"Qianqian taught me well. Not only did I learn how to cook, but many orcs also learned how to cook."
The two of them flattered each other and sat at the table to prepare for dinner.
Somehow, He Qianqian suddenly felt nauseous when she saw the scrambled eggs.
I have no appetite at all.
There is only one thought in my mind, which is to eat rice.
After a mental struggle, she said, "Li Yan, shall we cook some rice?"
“What is rice?”
He Qianqian walked into the beast cave and took out the exchanged rice, "This is it, just cook it and you can eat it."
"Then teach me how to cook it." Li Yan sniffed it and it smelled a sweet scent. It must be another good thing that Uncle He Nai had hidden.
The two cooked porridge and finally served it on the table.
The thick rice soup with its sweet, sticky and soft taste quickly conquered Li Yan.
He Qianqian smiled without saying anything.
The rice is germ rice exchanged with points from the system. There is not much, only three kilograms in total.
Although he threatened to rely more on himself and less on the system.
But at this moment, I just want to eat rice and don’t want to put myself in a difficult position.
To this end, she found a plausible excuse for herself.
Because germ rice can germinate and become rice seeds and then grow into seedlings.
The tender seedlings are cat grass, which is good for cats.
The points required to exchange for seeds of various crops are more and more expensive than those required to exchange for rice.
Thinking of this, He Qianqian quickly shoveled the rice into her mouth and soon felt full.
"Li Yan, eat quickly, but don't tell anyone outside. Let's eat secretly."
Li Yan understood: "Well, this can be hidden."
The smell of stewed and fried meat is so strong and fragrant that it cannot be hidden and will be smelled by others quickly.
He Qianqian found a bamboo jar, put a handful of germ rice in it, added water to soak it thoroughly, and covered it with a wet cloth.
See how many days it takes to germinate.
After the germination is successful, plant it in the ground and it will become tender cat grass when it grows out.
It is the Mid-Autumn Festival now, and it is definitely not enough to grow a season of rice, but we can practice first.

Li Yan took He Qianqian and walked towards the center of the square.
Before reaching Grandma Tao’s cave, I saw a group of beastmen digging the ground.
Just like Li Yan's vegetable garden, he planned to dig up the ground and plant spicy plants.
I heard people talking about how the area around the scaly fish that was burned yesterday was burned again last night, and all the trees in a large area were gone.
Li Yan's heart tightened. Would any of the Jinlinx's companions come looking for him?
He stepped forward and asked, "Do you know who did it?"
“The clan leader investigated and it seems to have been destroyed by fire-related abilities, or it seems to have been a wildfire caused by lightning.
Those who were on patrol last night did hear thunder and see lightning.
It is said that it rarely rains in the dry season, so how can there be thunder and lightning without clouds? "
He Qianqian didn't think too deeply about the burning of the mountain.
Her train of thought was very unique, and she suddenly had a brilliant idea:
Burning the mountain is good, and you can plant crops after burning it. That place is flat, right near the riverbed, with deep soil and easy access to water, making it an excellent farmland.
The warrior continued, "The chief has sent people to the Pig Tribe to ask both tribes to be on high alert and to inform each other of any situation.
Beast husbands with females should be more vigilant.”
Li Yan agreed and continued walking forward with He Qianqian.
Granny Tao’s cave is right in the center of the tribe.
"Mother-in-law, are you there?" Li Yan asked standing at the door.
Granny Tao lifted the animal skin curtain and came out, looking at Li Yan with a smile. When she saw He Qianqian, her eyes lit up.
Speaking of her, when did the pustules on her face heal? She also gained weight, a big change.
"Qianqian, you look better now."
She held He Qianqian's hand, looked her up and down, and suddenly her pupils trembled:
"You're pregnant. Oh my, this is so difficult."
He Qianqian: ...
She and Li Yan looked at each other with eyes wide open.
Granny Tao looked at the two young beastmen looking silly and explained, "I can smell it, but Li Yan can't smell it?"
Li Yanjun blushed and smelled it carefully again, but still didn't smell anything.
The two of them were so close to each other that their scents had become assimilated. Besides, he had no idea what it would smell like to be pregnant.
Granny Tao spoke so loudly that all the beastmen around heard it.
He turned his head to look at He Qianqian, and was so surprised that he was speechless.
Didn't Granny Tao say before that He Qianqian couldn't give birth to a baby? How come she got pregnant so soon?
He Qianqian asked: "Mother-in-law, it's only been 5 days since I got together with Li Yan, how come I can smell it so soon? I'm still so thin and short."
"Qianqian, you seem to have grown a little taller. I'm 150 years old and have been a witch doctor all my life. I can never mistake the scent of a pregnant female.
However, this is the first time I have encountered a situation like yours. Normally, after a contract is made, if a woman is pregnant, she can only be detected by smell after half a month.
Come into the cave quickly, and let Grandma take a good look at it."
The three of them entered the cave, and Granny Tao examined her very carefully, touching her bones from head to toe, checking her mouth and teeth, listening to her abdominal and thoracic breathing, etc.
At my mother-in-law’s age, other females would have died of old age, but she still looks very young and always has a kind smile on her face.
The last time my mother-in-law asserted that Qianqian couldn’t have a baby, she was wrong once.
To make sure this time, she smelled her urine sample carefully again.
Finally it was confirmed that she was indeed pregnant.
Li Yan was so overwhelmed with joy that he was speechless for a long time.
He held He Qianqian's hand tightly, and said anxiously: "Mother-in-law, Qianqian is so thin. Will she become even thinner after getting pregnant? It will be even harder for her to gain weight."
"You're a big idiot. Your female is just a little thin, she's healthy.
Do you know how difficult it is for a female to bear a cub? There have been no new cubs born in our tribe for four years.
You must take good care of her in the future.
From then on, my mother-in-law went to check my health in person every five days.
Don't run around for a while, just rest in the cave."
"Yeah. Okay." Li Yan happily hugged the little female and excitedly wanted to hold her up high.
Granny Tao slapped him hard on the arm.
He covered his arm and stared at He Qianqian with a silly smile.
He Qianqian touched her belly, her hands trembling a little. She couldn't believe that she was having a baby so soon. She felt nauseous in the morning. Could it be morning sickness?
She had imagined countless times that she would never abandon him when they had a child. Was it so soon?
No matter how many questions you have, just ask Pi Dan later.
He Qianqian has made a great contribution to the tribe recently, and everyone in the tribe has benefited from it, including Grandma Tao herself.
Granny Tao felt sorry for He Qianqian because she only had an animal husband, so she gave her two sets of thick winter clothes made of animal skins to wear when the weather got cold.
Worried that Li Yan lacked experience, he gave him a lot of instructions.
Finally, he said, "Qianqian, whatever you want to do, let Li Yan do it, and don't get too tired yourself."
Granny Tao sent them out of the beast cave.
There was an uproar outside, the news spread very quickly, and many females had already gathered around.
In the tribe, almost all the females who could walk out of the cave have arrived.
They all stared at He Qianqian's belly.
