After becoming a top-notch peasant woman, she continues to be a top-notch

Qiao Chao felt it was very sour. He ate one and didn’t want to eat it anymore. He handed it to Zhen Yue, a little embarrassed, “I can’t eat it. It’s too sour.”

Zhen Yue glanced at him, took it and ate it in one bite. Fortunately, she only skewered two, and some smaller ones had three.

She also felt it was sour, but it was okay. Qiao Chao looked at what Zhen Yue fed Xiao Achu, "What is this? Can I eat it?"

Zhen Yue looked at the sweat on his forehead and said, "Wipe it off first. There should be another bowl in the pot. Go and have some. I cooked it for little Ah Chu."

"Okay." Qiao Chao went to scrape up all the porridge in the casserole. Don't mention it, even though it was his son's food, it was quite delicious.

Little Achu ate a bowl of porridge, patted his stomach to indicate that he was full, and Zhen Yue asked him to go and play with Xiaohua and the others.

Madam Zheng packed up the things that Qiao Chao had brought back and would be ready for dinner in an hour.

Qiao Er also came back soon with Qiao San. Today, the two of them went to deliver the food and put away the food they bought. Before Qiao Er could say anything, Qian handed him a string of candied haws and said, "Eat quickly, it's made by your sister-in-law."

"Oh." Qiao Er took a bite and grimaced because of the sour taste. Seeing him like this, Qian said, "You don't want to eat it anymore? If you don't want me to eat it, then what?"

Qiao Er: "Eat it, eat it."

Qian ate it with her eyes narrowed. Everyone said it was sour, but she didn't. She thought it was delicious.

Qiao Er then took out the money and handed it to Zhen Yue, "Sister-in-law, today Brother Tiesheng asked if we had any chili sauce. He wanted to buy some. But we didn't have any. I said we were making new sauce and if it was ready, I'd give him a bottle. Sister-in-law, is that okay?"

Zhen Yue nodded, "No problem."

"That's good."

Manzhu also handed the candied haws to Qiao San, who ate one and stopped eating, "You eat it."

Manzhu: "...Manzhu, I think it's a bit sour." Then she looked at the little girls and handed it to Xiaonian, "Xiaonian, eat it."

Xiao Nian really enjoyed it, "Thank you, Third Aunt."

"Hey, let's go."

At this time, there was a knock on the gate and someone came over.

Qiao Chao went to open the door and found that it was Mrs. Li from the village, the blind mother of Li San. Li San had been conscripted to fight in the war, and Mrs. Li's life had become even more difficult, but everyone in the village helped her, so she was still able to survive.

"Granny Li, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Li was a little embarrassed. "I got some bamboo shoots. Didn't your family collect bamboo shoots before? I want to know if you still want them? These are spring bamboo shoots."

Qiao Chao didn't know whether to accept it or not. She looked at Zhen Yue. Before Zhen Yue could say anything, Qian came over and said, "Yes, yes. I'll weigh it for you now and I'll charge you the same price."

"Okay, thank you." Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Er quickly helped to weigh the things, took out the money and gave it to Mrs. Li, then watched her walk away trembling with the basket on her back.

"Oh! It's so pitiful!" Mrs. Qiao Chen said on the side. There was only a blind old woman left in the family, and they didn't know whether their son was dead or alive. It was said that Li San didn't send any letter back during the last Chinese New Year.

Qian was still working on bamboo shoots. "I was so busy these days that I forgot about it. The spring bamboo shoots should be growing well now. I've sold more than half of them, so I can make new ones."

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to pick some more bamboo shoots to pickle."

Zhen Yue: "It's up to you. You can also dry them and make them into bamboo shoots."

"it is good."

That night, we had chicken stewed with mushrooms, pickled fish, scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried bacon with pickled bamboo shoots, stir-fried greens, and pickled cabbage, and then we were ready to eat.

When Qian saw the dish, she felt hungry. As she was eating, she suddenly felt a disgusting smell. Then she ran out and vomited, "Ugh! Ugh!"

I vomited out all the sour fruits I ate in the afternoon.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Qiao Er quickly ran out, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Manzhu's mind got excited: "Don't eat it, is this vegetable poisonous?" When she first saw the mushrooms picked by her eldest brother, she thought the color looked good and asked if they were poisonous.

But Madam Zheng said no, and said that everyone had eaten it before, but she remembered that her family said that the prettier the color, the more poisonous it was. But she thought that since everyone had eaten it before and nothing happened, it should not be poisonous.

But now that Qian had vomited, she remembered it again, so she said it in a fit of excitement.

Mrs. Zheng sneezed on her way home! Who missed her?

Zhen Yue also ran out to see, "Did you eat too many sour fruits this afternoon?" She remembered that Qian seemed to have been eating them all the time.

Mrs. Qiao Chen seemed to be thinking about something. "Is the second eldest daughter pregnant?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, Qian also blinked and covered her stomach, "I think I've been delayed for several days."

As soon as Zhen Yue and Qiao Chen heard these words, they understood.

Mrs. Qiao Chen immediately became happy, "Oh! Second brother, hurry up and help Mrs. Qian go back to rest."

"Oh oh oh." Qiao Er, somewhat confused yet excited, helped Qian back to the room to rest.

Qian was also very excited at this time, "I might have a son, hahaha."

Mrs. Qiao Chen quickly went to get some warm water for Mrs. Qian to drink. "Rest for a while. Go see the doctor tomorrow."

"Okay okay."

Manzhu was embarrassed and scratched her head, "I thought the food was poisonous."

Qiao San comforted her, "You were just anxious for a moment."

Qiao Dashan: "Okay, okay, let's continue eating. Just leave some for Qian."

Manzhu: "I'll save some for my second sister-in-law." She quickly stood up and took a bowl to serve the food.

Zhen Yue suddenly thought that if Qian was pregnant, the household chores would have to be redistributed, but she would have to wait until she saw the doctor tomorrow to decide.

Qian was holding her belly in the room, "No wonder I like to eat sour food so much recently. Sour food makes a boy, spicy food makes a girl. I must give birth to a son!"

Qiao Er was also very happy, but he still warned: "Shh, you can't talk about your son. What if Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law hear it? And Xiaonian."

Qian: "I am pregnant now, my elder brother and his wife will not dare to make me angry."

Qiao Er: “…Are you sure?”

Qian was unsure. She suddenly remembered what Qiao Chao said about beating Qiao Er. She was pregnant, but Qiao Er...

Qian laughed dryly twice, "Haha, I know, I won't tell you."

Qiao Er: "But if you are pregnant, you should stay at home from now on."

Qian touched her belly and said, "No need, I was still in the field before."

Qiao Er: "How is that the same? Before, our family didn't have money, but now that conditions are better, you can just stay at home."

Qian: "You're right! And I can eat egg custard every day!"

Qiao Er: "...You want to be like Xiao Achu?"

Qian: "Is it the same? When my sister-in-law was pregnant, she had egg custard every day."

Qiao Er: "Before, our family was poor and eggs were a rare commodity. Now you only eat egg custard?"

Qian suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, I have to eat a chicken every day!"

Qiao Er: "...I'm afraid that my eldest brother will beat me. Anyway, we can eat anything normal at home now, as long as it's not too expensive, just tell me what you want to eat, but! Don't be too demanding."

He was afraid that Qian would do something irrational because of her pregnancy.

Qian: "I know. Hehe, I'm finally pregnant."
