Chapter 168: Aunt 3 is pregnant!
As soon as they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Shuyu stepped on the brakes and Gu Jiandong let go of his long legs. The bicycle stopped steadily. Shen Shuyu put the bicycle away and the two entered the supply and marketing cooperative. Gu Jiandong took Shen Shuyu and strode to the place where popsicles and sugar water were sold.
"I want two old popsicles, two bowls of mung bean soup, and two bottles of orange-flavored soda."
Gu Jiandong is tall and has an aura that cannot be ignored. In addition, his strong and deep face makes him very popular with girls.
Look, the female comrade selling popsicles blushed when she saw her. She must have just started working. Her dark eyes seemed to say "I love my job and serve the people" in ten big words.
The female comrade selling popsicles had a red face, but she was very skillful in getting popsicles and sodas for Gu Jiandong. "Do you have anything to hold the mung bean soup?"
Shen Shuyu took out their aluminum lunch box and said, "Put this in it!"
"Fifty cents!"
Shen Shuyu paid the money. Gu Jiandong took the aluminum lunch box with a smile on his face. He took a big sip of the icy green bean soup and said, "Shuyu, the green bean soup is delicious. It's sweet and icy."
"It's delicious. When you finish drinking it, I'll buy you another bowl." There were quite a lot of people in the supply and marketing cooperative. Shen Shuyu took popsicles and soda and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative with Gu Jiandong. The two drank sugar water and ate popsicles under the eaves at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Gu Jiandong drank two bowls of mung bean soup, ate two popsicles, and drank a bottle of soda. He also wanted Shen Shuyu to buy him two more bottles of soda and two bowls of sugar water. Shen Shuyu was afraid that he would eat too much cold food at once and his stomach would not be able to handle it, so she did not buy them for him.
"Gu Jiandong, you can't eat anymore. Eating too much ice will make your stomach uncomfortable. If you want to drink it, can we come back to buy some in two days?"
"Okay! I won't drink anymore, Shuyu. Grandpa, grandma and my second aunt don't have soda at home. Let's bring a few bottles back for them."
"it is good!"
After buying some soda, they rode their bikes home.
After paying the public taxes, they had to start planting winter wheat. When they got home, Old Man Shen, Old Lady Shen, and Shen Chunling were all working in the fields.
There was only Yang Fangfang at home. Yang Fangfang was pregnant, so there wasn't much work to do in the fields. Zhang Cuicui asked her to stay home and take good care of the baby. When she saw the two of them coming back, she smiled and said, "Shu Yu and Jiandong are back. I pickled some sour radishes. Do you want some?"
Yang Fangfang was pregnant and always liked to eat sour food. She had white radishes planted at home, so she would go to the vegetable garden from time to time to pick one or two white radishes and make pickled ones.
She only used vinegar and chili peppers to pickle the pickled radish, which was really sour and spicy. Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong tasted it once, and both of them couldn't stand the sourness and spiciness.
Everyone shook their heads, "Sister-in-law, we don't want to eat anymore."
It’s not that Gu Jiandong doesn’t like pickled radish, it’s that he doesn’t like the pickled radish made by Yang Fangfang. When he entered Shen Shuyu’s room, he put his head on Shen Shuyu’s shoulder and shook her arm, “Shuyu, I want to eat the pickled radish you made.”
Shen Shuyu was woken up not long after she slept last night. She had been busy from last night until now, which was equivalent to not sleeping for a whole day and night. After she came back, she wanted to take a shower and went back to her room to sleep.
Now the child wants to eat pickled radish, Shen Shuyu has to make it even if she is sleepy. She doesn't want to see Gu Jiandong not being able to eat what he wants, with a pouty face and a wronged look on his face.
"Then go to the field and pull up two white radishes."
Gu Jiandong went to the vegetable garden in the backyard to pick white radishes. He came back in less than two minutes and asked Shen Shuyu to cook for him. In fact, Shen Shuyu didn't need to do anything.
When she came out, the child had washed and cut the radish, and had also cut the peppers she wanted.
Shen Shuyu put salt in and marinated for 20 minutes, drained the water, washed it twice, put in appropriate amounts of sugar, vinegar, chili, and salt, and stirred it. "It's ready, you can eat it in the evening."
Looking at the full basin of pickled radish, Gu Jiandong was so satisfied. Knowing that she wanted to take a bath and go to bed, Gu Jiandong picked up a bucket to fill with water, "Shu Yu, I have filled the water, you can take a bath now."
She went in to take a shower. Gu Jiandong did not go out to play, but played in the yard by himself. When Shen Shuyu came out of the shower, he went in to take out her dirty clothes and wash them.
He sat on a small stool and rubbed Shen Shuyu's clothes more carefully than he did his own clothes.
Yang Fangfang teased Gu Jiandong, "Jiandong, if Shu Yu recruits a live-in son-in-law, will you still wash her clothes?"
Gu Jiandong looked up and asked, "What is a live-in son-in-law? Can you eat him?"
Yang Fangfang smiled, "A live-in son-in-law is not a thing, he is a human being, the man of Shu Yu's future."
Gu Jiandong didn't quite understand what he heard, so he said instinctively, "I don't like the term 'son-in-law who lives with his wife'. Shu Yu doesn't like it either. She likes me. I will wash her clothes for the rest of my life."
When he said this, Yang Fangfang couldn't tell for a moment whether he was stupid or not!
Shen Shuyu slept till dawn the next day. Last night, when Old Lady Shen asked her to get up for dinner, Shen Shuyu could not get up.
When she got up, the whole family was at home. Liu Pandi was sitting in the yard, with her head held high, rubbing her belly, and instructing Uncle Shen to do this and that.
"Xiangxi, I want some sugar water. Go make me a cup.
Xiangxi, I'm a little tired, please give me a shoulder massage.
Xiangxi, I want to eat meat tonight, go cut some meat and bring it back for me..."
Uncle Shen grinned and did as he was told!
Shen Shuyu asked Shen Qiu beside her, "What's going on?" Normally, her third uncle didn't have such a good temper and was willing to pamper Liu Pandai.
Shen Qiu held her belly and laughed, "Aunt San is pregnant!"
"Pregnant?"
"Yeah! It's been three months! I kept vomiting in the morning, and I went to see the village doctor, Dr. Xu, and that's when he discovered it.
"Third aunt is pregnant, which makes Third uncle very happy. He laughs so hard that he loses his mind. Now Third aunt is the head of the Third House, and Third uncle will do whatever she wants."
Shen Shuyu saw that if Liu Pan had a tail, it would be wagging to the sky.
Liu Pandi drank the brown sugar water, rubbed his belly, and said, "Mom, I want to eat chicken today. Don't you have two chickens in your chicken coop? Kill one. Your little grandson wants to eat it!"
Old Lady Shen glanced at her sideways and said, "I think you want to eat shit. You've already divided the family property, but you're still thinking about the chickens I raise. Are you itching for it? If you want to eat them, ask your man to get them for you."
Want to eat the chickens she raises? No way. She just got pregnant and she thinks she is the ancestor.
Liu Pandi was full of confidence when she spoke. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to reply like this, "Mom, I'm pregnant with your long-awaited grandson. Am I not worthy of eating your chicken?"
"I haven't been looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to you two!" When she heard the third son say that his wife was pregnant again in the morning, the first reaction of Old Lady Shen was not happiness but worry. The two idiots only wanted a son, without even considering how old they were.
The older this woman is, the more dangerous it is to give birth. What if something goes wrong? Old Lady Shen was not happy at all about the news that she was pregnant.
