After the young couple's affairs were arranged, Old Mrs. Zhou also talked about many things to pay attention to.

"The carpenters in the front yard are making furniture. Don't go near them if you have nothing to do. The wooden boards are heavy, the bamboo poles are slippery, and the paint smells bad. You need to pay attention to these..."

"I know, grandma. I'll be careful."

"By the way, Lingshan, you should also listen to what I am doing to arrange for your sister. You will be able to use it soon."

Xu Lingshan was suddenly called out and her face immediately turned red.

"I know grandma."

Everyone at the table was smiling and eating happily.

Zhou Shouan patted his brother's arm enviously. Who could have imagined this situation?

My good brother has become my niece's husband. Not only did his marriage come before mine, but now he's also going to be a father. It's really cause for celebration.

That night, Shen Yang and Zhou Mingzhi moved the couple's belongings over.

After Zhou Mingqin became pregnant, her body became much more precious, and she was no longer allowed to do the work she usually did.

The happiest person in the family was Shen Yang, who made the bed and poured water for Zhou Mingqin. He was extremely diligent and took good care of her. Even Liu couldn't help but admire him when she saw it.

Two days later, Old Mrs. Zhou took Wang Xiaodan and Wang Youwei to the restaurant and asked them to help with the work.

She originally wanted to ask a strong maid to come and help, but if she did that, her grandson and his wife would have no one to talk to and make fun of her. After thinking it over, she called these two maids over.

Anyway, they are children who grew up under my care. They have good tempers and are hardworking. Most importantly, they are cousins ​​of my grandson's wife and we have had a close relationship since childhood.

Xu Lingshan was already familiar with them. Since they came to work, they quickly got along well with each other, and it did not affect her daily life.

Instead, Zhou Mingshu and the others were busy.

They had to take care of the carpenters' food and drink, and also prepare ointment and soap for this spring.

In previous years, the eldest sister was the only one who handled these things, and they didn't pay much attention to them.

But this year is different. The eldest sister is pregnant and can't help, and there are so many things to do at home. The two of them are so busy that they are running like tops all day long.

"Sister, just do your needlework, and don't get close to the livestock at home. What if they get disobedient and go crazy? If you get tired of needlework, just help us pick and cut vegetables. It's never tiring."

"I know. I'm in good health. I'm not as precious as you say. I'll be careful when I work on weekdays, but Aunt Xu also said that pregnant women should not stay still or move less. She told me to move more. You can use me more when you have work to do."

No matter how busy or tired Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi were, they would not assign any work to their eldest sister. They just let her do whatever she wanted. Anyway, there was not much work she could do.

When Zhou Mingqin had nothing to do, she would go to the vegetable garden to weed, or dig up some freshly unearthed wild vegetables to add one or two fresh dishes to her family's dinner table.

"I can't go up the mountain with you to pick mushrooms this year. I'm still thinking about eating the first batch of mushrooms this year."

Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi smiled while holding their bowls.

"Don't worry, big sister. If you want to eat some, we'll go pick them for you. My brother-in-law also recognizes several kinds of mushrooms. Just tell us what kind of mushrooms you want to eat."

"Haha, okay, there's nothing you can't do. Anyway, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's not hard, it's not hard. You have two bodies now, which is the hardest. I have squeezed a lot of goat milk and prepared to make some delicious food for you. Big sister, just wait and enjoy."

"OK."

However, before Zhou Mingqin could adjust her mentality and enjoy life, her symptoms of morning sickness became obvious. She vomited more and more frequently, and she vomited everything she ate. She couldn't eat anything, and her little face turned pale from the torment.

Shen Yang and Liu were both extremely worried, and they tried to make delicious food for her, but it was of little use.

"Mingqin, do you want to eat anything? I'll go to the street and buy it for you."

Shen Yang covered his wife's hand, feeling very distressed.

"There's nothing good to eat on the street. I don't want to eat anything."

After a pause, she suddenly thought of something she wanted to eat.

"I remember now. I want to eat candied potatoes. I want them to be hot and sour."

"Candied potatoes? What kind of dish is this? I don't know how to cook it."

"San Ya made it before and it was delicious. Add some coriander and green onions, it will be very fragrant. You can learn how to make it."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

It had been a while since I saw my wife have such a good appetite, so Shen Yang ran to the small courtyard to ask Zhou Mingshu for advice.

"Brother-in-law, if my eldest sister wants to eat, I'll make it right away. You just go and accompany her."

"No, no, no, I'll just learn from you. After all, many skills are always a plus. Besides, you're usually so busy, and I can't always bother you when your elder sister is craving for something."

"Haha, okay, then I'll prepare a few more flavors today."

"Brother-in-law, go peel some potatoes first so that everyone can have a taste. Oh, there are some oranges and apples in the cellar, bring some up for later use."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Shen Yang hurried to get busy, while Zhou Mingshu washed the pot and started to boil sugar.

She prepared the yogurt and cottage cheese early in the morning, but they had not fermented enough and had to wait a few more days before they could be eaten.

"Brother-in-law, next time you go to the market in town, you can buy some sweet and sour preserved fruits. My sister has almost finished the ones we made at home."

"Okay, I remember."

In winter, my family made a lot of dried fruits, including apricots, persimmons, raisins, dried strawberries and so on.

But now, there is not much left, some of it has been eaten as snacks, and some has been made into tea.

"I remember now. We don't have any hawthorn trees in our orchard. We'll plant two this year. When they bear fruit in the summer, big sister will be able to eat fresh ones."

After Zhou Mingshu said this, Shen Yang remembered it deeply in his heart. San Ya’s idea was good.

When it came time to pull the silk from the shreds, Shen Yang stood obediently in front of the stove, watching San Ya's operation without blinking.

"San Ya, I have to say that I admire you from the bottom of my heart. Look at your cooking skills. I think you can compete with those old chefs even if you go to the capital."

Shen Yang was holding a bowl with some candied oranges in it.

The bright orange segments are covered with sweet syrup, which becomes hard and brittle when in contact with water. They look bright and not only does his wife want to eat them, but he also wants to have a taste.

"Brother-in-law, you can eat these first, I will make the rest."

"Okay, I'll give it to your sisters to try."

Zhou Mingqin was helping to fold soap packaging paper in the yard next door. She was chatting and laughing with Zhou Mingqi, so it wasn't too boring.
