Traveling through time, those years as a traffic officer

Yu Min thought that although the couple were very calculative, they were not greedy. If they bought a live pig and fed it now, the amount would definitely be different from if they didn't feed it for two meals.

After the order was made, Yu Min gave a hundred copper coins as a deposit. The couple's expressions became much more natural.

On the way back to the village chief's house, "Uncle, we will go back and ask for leave today. We will come back tomorrow and ask my aunt to stew meat for us. Last time, my aunt's cooking skills were praised by everyone."

"All stewed?"

"Stew them all, so that everyone can enjoy them sweetly."

Wu Xiaozhen just listened to the whole process. She knew that this girl ate little, so buying so much meat should be for everyone.

She really cares about money. If she feels greedy, can't she just buy some meat and eat it secretly?

But it’s hard to say anything, being a stepmother is difficult.

"Uncle, is there a carpenter in the village?"

"Yes, the carpenters in our village are famous in the surrounding villages."

"Uncle, I want to buy a few buckets. I'll stew the meat tomorrow and put it in the buckets."

"That's their home. I'll take you there to have a look."

Yu Min was really excited. He could collect more things during these few days. Who knows when he can use them?

When they arrived, the house was empty and the door was locked.

"He must have gone to the fields. He will probably be back around noon."

"It's okay. We still have to wait for the bricklayer."

The village chief also realized that although this doctor was young, he had the final say, and her stepmother didn't say anything at all.

After returning to the village chief's house, Wu Xiaozhen sat down and didn't want to get up.

Yu Min felt her pulse and found nothing wrong, maybe she was just too tired.

Qiangzi came in. "Second uncle."

"What's the matter, Qiangzi?"

"The village chief should be here to see me. I asked him to help buy some eggs or something."

The village chief nodded in understanding, thinking that this girl really dared to spend money.

"I bought you fifty chicken eggs, twenty goose eggs, and fifty duck eggs."

"That's nice. You're really capable."

"I'll send it to you in a bit."

"I didn't bring back the basket from last time either."

Qiangzi waved his hand and said, "I made the basket. You don't have to give it back to me."

"Here you go."

Qiangzi didn't object either, he needed the money.

The village head's wife came back from the fields and smiled when she saw Yu Min. "Doctor Yu is here."

"Aunt is back. Is it almost time for the autumn harvest?"

"We can wait a few days. Doctor Yu, please sit down first. I'll go wash up."

"Aunt, go and get busy."

The village chief went out to find his wife to ask about the carpenter, "Laonian and the others are back too."

"That's fine."

Come in and ask Yu Min to go to the carpenter's house.

"Just rest here, I'll go over and take a look."

"Row."

Wu Xiaozhen wanted to lie down now. But this was in someone else's house, so it was really impossible.

The village chief's wife came in and sat down to chat with Wu Xiaozhen.

She smiled when she found out that she was Dr. Yu’s stepmother.

"I'll need my sister-in-law to take care of me in the future."

"That's obvious. I see your belly is getting quite big. How many months has it been?"

"It's been four months."

"Then you have to give birth in April or May next year. The weather will be good by then, neither too hot nor too cold."

Yu Min and the village chief arrived at the carpenter's house, and the whole family was washing their hands and faces.

"What's up, old man?"

"Doctor Yu wants to buy a bucket."

Yu Min smiled and said, "Uncle, do you have a bucket with a lid?"

"Lid? No."

"Uncle, how many buckets do you have here?"

"Ten more."

"I want them all. Can you make a lid for me? Just cover it with a wooden board."

"Sure. But the board will cost extra."

Yu Min nodded. This was a normal thing. To make wooden boards, they needed wood and labor.

After agreeing to increase the amount, Yu Min paid the money and said he would come and pick it up tomorrow.

By the time they got home, the two women were already chatting enthusiastically.

Girls in the countryside know a lot. Some of them have to take care of their mothers during the confinement period and look after the children. Wu Xiaozhen took care of her mother for several months during the confinement period.

The two of them talked around the child, and the more they talked, the more they got along.

Yu Min was waiting anxiously. He wanted to confirm it quickly, otherwise it would be inconvenient to stay at anyone's house.

After waiting for half an hour, he heard some noise outside. The village chief went out to see, and soon a skinny middle-aged man came in.

"Doctor Yu, this is the very famous bricklayer in our area."

Yu Min stood up and greeted them with a smile. Without any further ado, they went out to check the foundation.

People can tell roughly how much soil is needed just by looking at it.

Yu Min stated her requirements. There must be a courtyard wall, after all, Wu Xiaozhen was the only one living with the child.

The toilet and woodshed in the yard are also ready.

Wu Xiaozhen really wanted to say that they wouldn't be staying here for too long, so why make such a big fuss?

Yu Min had a different idea. In fact, it was just to benefit the village chief. He hoped that he would take better care of Wu Xiaozhen for the sake of the house.

It's not like I haven't thought about the possibility of someone getting greedy for money. Now I'm just gambling, betting that the people here are good.

Finally, I negotiated with the bricklayer to do a big package, which means that he would prepare everything except the adobe. The total cost would be ten dollars, and it would be completed within five days.

The village chief wanted to say something but in the end he didn't open his mouth.

"Uncle, with the village chief as a witness, I can only give you five dollars. I will pay the rest later after the house is inspected and accepted."

Everyone can understand that this is a normal situation.

"Girl, you need to prepare the iron pan."

Yu Min nodded and said, "Okay, I'll deliver it tomorrow. Then I'll wait for the sixth day to come and collect the house."

The carpenter left in a hurry, he was going to find someone to start digging the foundation in the afternoon. He couldn't just build a house on the ground, people wouldn't want to do that.

"Uncle, we are going back too."

"I'll drive you there."

Yu Min thought for a moment and said, "Then I won't refuse. My aunt can't be too tired."

The village head's wife wanted to invite them to dinner but was rejected. They should go back as they still have some things to arrange in the afternoon.

Let Wu Xiaozhen lean on him.

In fact, people are like this. Once they have someone to rely on, they will feel weak. Wu Xiaozhen managed to hold on during the forced march back, but she couldn't do it after seeing her backer.

"Xiao Min, there's really no need to make it so nice. I can live anywhere."

"It's still a better environment, and it's more comfortable to live like that."

“But it cost so much money.”

"You've spent the money and you're living in the house, so you can rest assured. The midwife here is a great one, and the village chief is taking care of you. You don't have to be embarrassed if anything happens."

"Yeah, I know. Xiao Min, maybe you guys won't leave yet."

"I hope so too. You will be able to return to the base after giving birth."

It’s better to give her hope, which will make her feel much better.

"I will go to the county town tomorrow and prepare cotton and cloth. I will ask my aunt to make you bedding and curtains."
