Chapter 547 Likes to be in the spotlight
Moreover, many people laugh at you and hate you for having you. They are happy when you don’t have you, and jealous when you have you. She has understood this truth, and she will naturally keep a distance from everyone during her special period.
She is not alone now, and she has a baby in her belly, so she must be more careful.
"Sister-in-law, you can eat this apple without worry. I will get you other fruits after you finish eating it." You can't eat too much fruit because it is high in sugar, so it is best to eat one a day. This way you can satisfy your craving and supplement your nutrition without worrying about overnutrition.
"Yiwan, thank you." Cao Jianyu said gratefully. Her sister-in-law was really nice. The basket of apples was big and red, and especially fresh. You could tell at a glance that it was specially supplied. So many should cost dozens of dollars, but Lin Yiwan gave it to her without even blinking an eye. It showed how generous Lin Yiwan was to her.
She herself was reluctant to buy any of these apples.
After Lin Yiwan left, Cao Jianyu picked up an apple and brought it close to his nose to smell it. The fruity aroma was so strong that it made people drool just by smelling it.
Cao Jianyu rubbed the apple on her body and wanted to take a bite. Thinking that she was pregnant now, she should be more careful, so Cao Jianyu quickly scooped water, washed the apple, and then took a bite.
The apple was crisp, sweet and delicious, so she ate it bite by bite. However, the apple was too big and she felt full before she finished it. But the apple could not be wasted. After all, one apple might cost several cents, so she ate it anyway.
Next time when we eat apples, let’s take them to Lin’s house and eat them together. This way, everyone can have one.
Xu Mengying was soon discharged from the confinement period and could finally go out for some fresh air. She had been sitting in the house for more than a month and was really fed up with it. On the day she was discharged from the confinement period, Xu Mengying took several good baths and then walked around in the yard.
Not long after his daughter was born, Gu Huaian sent a telegram to his family to tell them about the child. Grandma Gu didn't mind that the child was a girl. After all, Gu Huaian and Xu Mengying were still young and would definitely have many more children in the future. There was no need for her to make the young couple unhappy.
Grandma Gu sent small clothes, shoes, and milk powder for the child, but Xu Mengying needed nutritional supplements during her confinement, and milk powder was a very rare nutritional product in that era, so Xu Mengying drank the milk powder herself. However, she only made herself one cup a day and did not drink a lot. After all, it was only one bag of milk powder, and she had to save it for later.
Grandma Gu also named the child, Gu Suisui, which means peace every year and also means a good harvest. She originally wanted to name the child Gu Anan, hoping that the child would grow up safely and have a peaceful life. However, the child and her father’s names both have the character “An” in their names, which didn’t work, so she named her Gu Suisui.
I have to say that the old man is quite capable. This name is both nice and meaningful.
After the confinement period, Xu Mengying planned to hold a full-month banquet. She liked to be in the spotlight and wanted everyone's attention to be on her. Fortunately, there were vegetables in autumn, so the full-month banquet could be held.
On the day of Gu Susui's full moon banquet, Wen Xi and the others also went, and even Lin Yiwan came to participate. After all, they were all growing watermelons together, so they were friends.
However, Lin Yiwan did not bring Cao Jianyu with her. Since she had just become pregnant, it was better for her not to go to crowded places to avoid being bumped into.
When people come to the full moon banquet, they either give two eggs or one or two cents.
There are still some vegetables in autumn. The pumpkin at this time is very sweet and delicious no matter how you eat it. There are also winter melon, lentils, and dried vegetables from the summer.
So today the child’s full moon banquet included fried pumpkin slices, winter melon bone soup, fried pork liver, crucian carp stewed with tofu, scrambled eggs with leeks, spicy snails, fried dried eggplant, and fried wild vegetables.
There were eight dishes in total, and each dish was a full pot.
Among them, the recipes of spicy snails and crucian carp stewed with tofu were learned from Wenxi, and now they are used in banquets.
Since the dining table in that era could only seat eight people, ten could still be squeezed in if they squeezed a little, so Wen Xi and a few acquaintances sat together and did not squeeze with other people.
I didn’t expect Liang Zhaodi, Xu Huaying and Chu Waner to also come to the full moon banquet. I don’t know whether Xu Mengying invited them or they came uninvited.
Because Gu Huaian, a grown man, would not invite them, especially since the three of them were big troubles.
Liang Zhaodi's second belly is also very big, and she is probably going to give birth soon. After Chu Wan'er was knocked down by her eldest stepson and had a miscarriage when she was pregnant, she hasn't been pregnant since. I don't know if there is something wrong with her body or if the man simply doesn't want her to have a baby.
After all, a man who already has three sons may not really need children. He probably just wants Chu Wan'er to help him raise the children, and then kick Chu Wan'er away when he gets old.
After all, many widows look for men to help them raise their children. When the man needs support in his old age, she cannot let her children take care of an old man who has no blood relationship and no value to them.
Women all do this, let alone men?
Men are better at weighing the pros and cons than women.
Xu Huaying also hastily married a man in the village after the New Year's Eve dinner. No one knew why, and nothing major happened in their daily lives, so we rarely heard about the couple. However, looking at the haggard and exhausted looks on their faces, we could tell that they did not have a good life.
In fact, this is how marriage is in this era. Not only in the countryside, but even in the city, after getting married, women have to add the job of serving others on top of their jobs!
Life in the countryside is even more tiring. You have to go to the fields to earn work points and do housework. Originally, if you were alone, you only had to earn work points, but after getting married, you still have to do housework, which is even busier and more tiring. It would be strange if you could support your children well.
So it’s better to be single. You don’t have to worry about so many things. You can spend the money you earn on your own, and no one can blame you for spending money lavishly.
Everyone was eating when there was a sudden scream from Liang Zhaodi's side. The grandmother who had helped her take care of her daughter before and was now helping Xu Mengying with her confinement after she took a look and knew that she was about to give birth.
"Hurry, Zhaodi is about to give birth, send Zhaodi to the hospital quickly." said the old lady.
"I'll go help call an ox cart!" Wen Xi pulled Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue and ran away. Liang Zhaodi was their enemy, so it was impossible for them to go to the hospital to help, but they could help call an ox cart.
After all, Liang Zhaodi was an educated youth who went to the countryside, and she couldn't get into trouble in the village, otherwise the team leader would also be implicated, so Aunt Meihua said, "Liang Zhaodi, go home and get your things first. I'll ask the team leader to give you a letter of introduction."
Afterwards, Aunt Meihua pushed the deputy captain's wife and the accountant's wife next to her, and asked them to help Liang Zhaodi go home to get her things, and the old lady hurried to follow.
