Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

Chen Qiao added something to make matters worse.

"That can't be helped. If she is really pregnant, it will take another ten months!"

These words even caused Li Bowen to wail, and Chen Qiao chuckled beside him.

The next day, Li Bowen had no intention of doing anything. After the clinic opened, he hurriedly took Chen Qiao there. Most of the clinics in the villages usually treat villagers' headaches, fevers, bruises and the like. They could not cure serious illnesses, but minor illnesses were no problem.

The clinic is right next to the village brigade. In fact, it is just one of the rooms in the brigade office. It is a clinic just by hanging a sign.

There was a gray-haired doctor in the room. He was wearing a white coat and reading glasses, and was reading a yellowed medical book in his hand. Just looking at the doctor's appearance made people feel at ease.

Li Bowen and Chen Qiao knocked on the door and walked in. The old doctor took off his glasses and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Doctor, my wife might be pregnant. I want you to check if it's true."

"Oh, that's a good thing. Come sit here and put your hands out."

Taking the pulse and diagnosing a patient are basic skills. The doctor put his hand on Chen Qiao's wrist and squinted his eyes to feel it carefully.

After a while, he took his hand back and said to them with a smile: "Congratulations, your wife is indeed pregnant, just over a month!"

The two smiled at each other, feeling relieved. Li Bowen grabbed the doctor's hand and shook it vigorously: "Thank you, thank you doctor, I'm going to be a father!"

"Alright, alright, you're welcome! You're almost shaking my old bones apart!"

The doctor smiled and pulled his hand back, saying in a brisk tone: "Congratulations, but your wife's health is relatively weak, and now she is pregnant again, you have to find a way to increase her nutrition."

Upon hearing the news, Chen Qiao was in disbelief, her eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief: "No way, I think I'm in good health, and I've even gained a lot of weight recently!"

The doctor looked at Chen Qiao, shook his head helplessly, and explained: "This has little to do with your current weight gain. It's because you ate too poorly and overworked before. You need to slowly adjust to recover."

Li Bowen nodded at the doctor's words. Chen Qiao had indeed suffered a lot when she was at her mother's home.

But he didn't care too much. He thought to himself, he is a person who can communicate with the afterlife, so is he afraid that he can't provide Chen Qiao with nutrition?

Thinking of this, he nodded confidently and said to the doctor, "I understand, doctor. Thank you for your reminder. This small gift is not a token of respect, please accept it."

As he spoke, he took out a paper bag from his bag and handed it to the doctor.

This was specially prepared by them before going out, and it contained some melon seeds, peanuts and candies.

Since the good news of pregnancy has been found out, I have to express it so that everyone can share in the joy. After some reluctance, the doctor accepted the kindness with a smile and reminded me again of some precautions during pregnancy.

Finally, the two got up and left the clinic.

After returning home, Li Bowen first reported the good news to his grandparents.

Then, he prepared to ride his bicycle to the fox village because he wanted to supplement Chen Qiao's nutrition. However, since he couldn't take out food out of thin air, he had to go to the fox village first to see if the hunter had caught any prey.

If not, he planned to find a few chickens from the village to make soup, and then ask Wu Lei to help buy some nutritional supplements so that he could bring them to Chen Qiao when he came back from the city next time.

Chen Qiao, who had just become pregnant, was very dependent on Li Bowen and insisted on going with him.

Li Bowen thought for a moment and thought that this was a good idea, as it would allow her to exchange experiences on pregnancy and parenting with the fox wife, so he agreed to take her with him.

Because of the cold weather, the old lady was very worried and put a thick mattress in the truck bed. When Chen Qiao sat on it, she covered her with a quilt before they set off.

On the way, Chen Qiao leaned on Li Bowen's back and said, "I found that since I got pregnant, everyone seems to treat me like a glass man!"

Li Bowen pedaled the tricycle vigorously in front, turned around and said to Chen Qiao with a smile: "Of course, you are pregnant with the fourth generation of the Li family, how can the old couple not be attentive? It's not easy to see four generations living under the same roof!"

Chen Qiao touched her belly and smiled helplessly: "I've only been pregnant for more than a month. If I'm not allowed to do anything, then I guess I'll just have to raise meat at home in the future!"

Li Bowen laughed and comforted her, "That's great! Grandpa and grandma are happy to serve you, so just focus on taking care of your baby. If things really don't work out, ask your uncle and aunt to come to our house for dinner. Let your aunt cook and the two girls can chat with you."

Chen Qiao thought about it and thought this was a good idea. She nodded and said with a smile, "That's feasible!"

At this time, Fox was doing very well recently. He was the production team leader in his village, managing dozens of households. He was also well-known for his bravery in the surrounding villages. He was also straightforward and righteous, and had many friends in the surrounding villages.

Everybody was hungry, so the fox and his brothers started trading in food. When people in the surrounding villages were short of food, they would bring eggs or other items to them to exchange. If they really had nothing, they could sell it on credit and pay back later when they had more.

So now his business is going very smoothly and no one dares to cause trouble for him. Even the village chiefs have a few people supporting him. If anyone dares to report him, he will probably be beaten to death by the villagers before he can even leave his village.

When they arrived at his house, only the fox wife and the child were at home. When she heard that Chen Qiao was pregnant, the fox wife excitedly pulled her into the house to talk, leaving Li Bowen alone outside.

The fox was not at home and he had nothing to do, so he simply went to the hunter's house and delivered what he wanted.

As luck would have it, the hunter was really at home today. Li Bowen pointed at the cotton and cloth in the truck bed and said, "Brother Hu, the things are delivered to you. Do you think they are enough? If not, I will get you some more in a few days."

The hunter's face was full of smiles: "That's enough, that's enough. This should be 20 to 30 kilograms of cotton. After making quilts and cotton clothes for everyone in the family, we will be rich. Purchaser Li, please come home and sit down!"

They carried the things into the house, put them away, and then sat down.

Before Li Bowen could speak, the hunter said, "Purchaser Li, I'm so sorry. After you told me a few days ago, I set some traps in the mountains and caught a few pheasants and rabbits, but I haven't found any big animals like wild boars yet."

Li Bowen's eyes lit up: "That's great, Brother Hu, you don't know, my wife just found out she's pregnant, the doctor told her to eat some good food to replenish her body, I was just about to tell you about this, it's great that you shot a pheasant."
