Chapter 972 Pregnant
"No wonder someone came to the village to inquire ten days ago and ended up paying respects at Zhizhi's mother's grave."
"We were wondering if she was related to Zhizhi's mother, and it turns out she really was."
Who would have thought that he was just a nobody who had fled here, someone no one would even bother to give a second glance?
She was a rich heiress, but now her family has been exonerated.
Qian Fengping guessed that they were referring to Wansheng, so she didn't explain further.
The Qin family remained lively until evening, when people gradually dispersed as it was time for dinner.
Fang Yin and Fang Tongrong's return to their hometown deserves a grand banquet.
Especially Fang Yin, a high-ranking official of the fourth rank.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration for the whole village to celebrate.
But not today. The family just got back and hasn't settled in yet. We don't even have enough rice or flour at home.
The rice, noodles, and vegetables they ate today were still taken from Tiezhu's house.
Fang Nanzhi took the bride's pulse and touched her belly.
The baby's position was confirmed to be correct, and the baby is healthy and active.
As for her constant vomiting and insomnia, she can only treat it with acupuncture.
They also gave me a dietary recipe.
She didn't prescribe any medication; you can't take any medication during pregnancy.
She also privately met with Uncle Tiezhu, and the two whispered in a corner for a while. She taught Tiezhu how to give massages.
Especially massaging the legs and waist.
As the bride's belly grows larger, her legs are prone to swelling, and her lower back will feel sore and tired.
Pressing this massage before bed each night might help you sleep more comfortably.
Tie Zhu responded to each of them.
At dinner time, besides the family, there were Tiezhu, Erwa, Gou Dan, Tiezhu's grandfather, Gou Dan's grandfather, and the village elder.
They are all their own people.
For convenience, we'll have hot pot for dinner.
The meat was venison they brought back from the capital; they cut off a piece.
The maids kneaded the dough, preparing to put it directly into the pot later.
The old village chief looked at the maids and guards bustling about in the courtyard, still in a daze.
This is true wealth.
“Tongzi, when you were this tall,” the old village chief gestured, “about up to his calves,” “you were already saying that you would never have to do anything in the future and would still be able to eat your fill and stay warm.”
"You can tell what a person will be like at three years old. Back then, my uncle said you were definitely going to be lazy."
"Now you've actually done it, but you can't call it laziness, you have to say you're enjoying life."
Fang Tong remained silent.
He actually does work; he farms every day in the capital and is very diligent.
Grandpa Tiezhu held onto Qin Yan tightly, saying, "Kid, I'll have a great-grandson soon. Tiezhu is illiterate, so you can come up with a name for him in advance."
The scholar himself named the child, so the child is destined for greatness.
Why not let Fang Tong and Fang Yin name it? I don't know how those two became officials, but their knowledge is definitely not as good as Yan Ge'er's.
"Okay," Qin Yan replied.
They not only help with naming, but also provide one name each for a boy and a girl.
There were quite a few people eating, so we had to divide the table into four.
Erwa picked up a piece of venison with his chopsticks, dipped it in sesame sauce, and squinted his eyes at the aroma.
"Brother Tong still remembers me and brought me meat all the way from the capital. I'm really doing well now, eating venison."
"Venus meat is best eaten roasted," Fang Yin said, glancing at him.
"Then we'll keep the rest of the venison for roasting," Fang Tong replied.
Meanwhile, Sun Dacheng and Cheng Xiaohu were chatting nearby.
I know he didn't stay idle in the capital; he visited several major cities and has already seen the world.
I'm so envious.
"Wait here, if you go to the county to sell goods, I'll go with you." Sun Dacheng was no longer the insignificant broker he once was.
I've already built up a network of connections in the county town.
"Yes, but the things we brought are really good. I think most of them can be sold in the prefectural city to make more money." Cheng Xiaohu has been doing business for half a year and has already gained some experience.
If it's something valuable, take it to a big city where there are many wealthy people.
They're willing to pay any amount of money as long as they like it.
If it's something common and frequently used, you can buy it from big cities and sell it in smaller places.
Prices are actually higher in county towns.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Sun Dacheng took a sip of soup and was about to reach out to put his hand on Xiaohu's shoulder.
A girl came over.
Mu Lianxin brought a bowl of freshly prepared dipping sauce to Cheng Xiaohu.
"Here, I picked up an extra one."
"Thank you, please eat more too." Cheng Xiaohu's face was slightly flushed, but he tried his best to remain calm.
But looking at him like that, no one present could fail to see that something was wrong.
Mu Lianxin smiled and went to another table.
As soon as she left, Sun Dacheng joked, "Little Tiger, what's going on here?"
The other brothers also had bright, piercing eyes.
"It's nothing, just a friend," Cheng Xiaohu said awkwardly.
"Tsk." Dog Egg said disdainfully.
This kid, Xiaohu, doesn't seem as generous as that girl from before; she even brought a friend.
Your friend is going home with you for the Chinese New Year?
"Yinzi, when you got married, we brothers didn't go to the capital, but we prepared the wedding gifts for you." Erwa picked up the soup bowl.
There was no other way; Zhizhi said that it wasn't suitable to drink alcohol immediately after a long journey.
They didn't open any bottles of wine tonight.
"Alright, I'll start by toasting you to wish you a happy marriage." After saying that, Erwa tilted his head back and downed a bowl of soup.
Fang Yin remained silent for a moment.
He regretted it a little; he should have just asked someone to bring the wine.
At least wine is served in glasses, in small cups.
We use bowls to drink soup, so they fill our stomachs.
But since Erwa had already drunk it, Fang Yin had no choice but to drink it too.
I had just put down my bowl when Gou Dan arrived...
Fang Yin was forced to drink five bowls of soup, which made him so full that he kept burping.
However, I also received five red envelopes.
He gave it to Meng Lan in front of everyone.
This caused his brothers to laugh at him again, saying that he was just like Tongzi, afraid of his wife.
Although Meng Lan was shy, she still stood up gracefully and picked up the soup: "I know that you are all my husband's best brothers. You have always taken care of him in the past."
"To express my gratitude, I'll also toast my brothers with a bowl."
She is indeed the daughter of a military family; sometimes her spirit is no less than that of a man.
"Okay, I must drink it since it's a toast from my sister-in-law."
Dog Egg and the others all stood up.
But halfway through the soup, an accident occurred.
Meng Lan vomited.
She swore she didn't mean it.
"Ugh! Sorry, I didn't mean... ugh!"
She simply put down the bowl, and with the help of her maid, went to the side to vomit.
Fang Nanzhi sensed something was wrong and followed them.
He raised an eyebrow as soon as he took her pulse.
Second Aunt, you are pregnant.
Meng Lan was stunned, but the maids were the first to become happy.
Fang Yin touched his head, feeling a little dizzy. Could it be that drinking soup could make him drunk?
"Honey, are you pregnant? Whose father is it?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him.
Meng Lan finally came to her senses. Before she could feel any joy, she was filled with anger. She glared at him and demanded, "Whose is it?"
Fang Yin grinned foolishly, took two steps forward, and picked up his wife.
"It's mine. It's mine."
He's going to have a baby! He's going to have a baby!
This unexpected joyous occasion stunned the whole family, except for Qian Fengping, who remained somewhat rational.
"Second brother, let Zhizhi take a look at second sister-in-law, she's been traveling for so long..."
