Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog

Chapter 133 Dragon Boat Festival

After the Lantern Festival, we watched the lantern festival.

The new year officially kicks off a busy period.

He An also had to go out to work, leaving Su Yan and He's grandparents at home.

But she wasn't idle either.

Aware of the dangers of ancient childbirth, Su Yan began to control her diet.

Of course, she doesn't stop eating, but she balances her diet more rationally to avoid overnutrition.

At the same time, she also began to arrange her own exercise plan, which was gradually increased as the date went by.

People often say that pregnant women are like taking stimulants and have more energy than before.

Su Yan didn't quite believe it before, but now she does.

Even though she exercises and writes every day, Su Yan is still full of energy every day.

This continued until early May, after the due date.

The He family entered a state of high alert half a month ago, and He's grandmother had already prepared a midwife to be at home.

Even Su's mother, who lives in the countryside, came three times in the past half month.

But time passed slowly, April passed, and May came.

The child remained very calm and didn't make any noise.

This made everyone hold their breath, and Su Yan's spirit was also extremely tense.

She couldn't help but imagine some scenes of modern pregnant women having difficult childbirth, which she saw on her phone.

In the past I would forget what I saw, but I don’t know what happened these days.

Her memory seemed to come back to life, and scenes from the past began to appear frequently in her mind.

Including some videos I saw and her modern relatives and friends.

Because of hormone issues, she sometimes becomes very emotional.

He An had no choice but to stay by her side all the time.

Especially after the due date passed and the baby still hadn't been born, He An became extremely worried.

When I was with Su Yan, I was naturally calm and thought: these are all small things that everyone may encounter.

But at night when Su Yan fell asleep, he often sat at the head of the bed and stared at her all night long.

It would be fine if it was just the situation at home that made people anxious, but the situation outside is even more worrying.

It's May now, and summer harvest is coming soon, which is the time when crops are sprouting and ears are forming.

But after the New Year, there was only a light drizzle in March, and we haven’t seen a drop of rain since then.

All the water that farmers could access, including river water and well water, was used.

But not enough, far from enough.

By now, everyone had to believe that the county town, which had not experienced drought for decades, had really been hit by a disaster.

Almost all places hold small or large-scale sacrificial activities to pray for rain according to their customs.

But when the people who prayed devoutly on their knees finished the ceremony, on the second day, the third day, the fourth day...

Many days later.

They pursed their cracked lips and looked up at the sky with empty eyes.

The sun is still shining brightly.

The golden sunlight seemed like God's punishment to the earth, whizzing like an arrow and piercing everyone's fantasies.

What made everyone even more overwhelmed was the sharp rise in food prices!

Since April, the price of grain in the county has changed almost every day.

If the county magistrate had not promptly warned the owner of the large grain shop in the county, the situation might have been even worse.

But even with the intervention of the county government, the situation did not improve much.

It just wasn't as fast or as devastating as the bad things.

Whenever Su Yan heard the news He An brought back, she felt terrified.

Then I was thankful that they still chose to be conservative and sell less grain after the New Year.

Just a month ago, they had stopped selling altogether.

The problem is that the purchase price is too high and the family can’t make ends meet.

Naturally, some people complained at the beginning, but gradually everyone got used to it.

What's more, not many people paid attention to a newly emerging small shop. Their attention was all focused on the weather and the big grain merchants.

The Dragon Boat Festival arrived in this increasingly tense environment.

The He family did not make too many preparations that day. They simply used some wine-soaked calamus, mugwort, etc. and sprinkled them on the corners of the walls to repel the insects.

Mugwort was also smoked in every room, and each person was given a sachet containing the herb.

Then everyone gets together to have a meal.

Unlike their late arrival during Chinese New Year, He's father and mother came particularly early on the Dragon Boat Festival.

He's mother had a smile on her face and walked with a breeze. Her eyes had been darting around looking for people since she entered the door.

When she saw Grandmother He, Su Yan, Aunt He and others having fun in the front hall, her face froze.

Then, as if he had thought of something, a dazzling light flashed in his eyes.

The stiffness on his face at the beginning turned into an unattainable arrogance.

As soon as Su Yan took a look, she knew that He's mother was definitely going to show off something.

Sure enough, after He's mother came in and said a few words, she started to change the topic to her family's business.

At first, Su Yan thought that it was because He's father's store was doing good business, and was puzzled that it was not right during the drought.

But she soon found out why.

"This is made of Shu brocade. Such a small piece of handkerchief is worth one or two ounces of gold!"

"It's because Apeng is capable and has connections with the big merchants in Shu that he was able to get a batch of goods."

"I am also lucky enough to use this Shu brocade which is more valuable than gold."

Su Yan looked at the handkerchief that He's mother had deliberately taken out to show off, and didn't respond to her proud tone.

But the other women in the hall were not as calm as them.

Aunt He was the first to speak in shock, "Is this Shu brocade?"

I leaned in to take a closer look and found that it was indeed thin and delicate, and the fine texture showed the craftsmanship of the weaving.

Aunt He San even stood up and wanted to come over to touch and have a look, but He's mother dodged aside.

She was a little embarrassed, but her excitement prevailed. "I've only heard of this in the south, but it's rare every year."

"I didn't expect to meet you today."

After hearing this, He's mother raised her chin proudly and looked at everyone with disdain, "Yes, this is what the Queen herself praised. The fabrics that are tributed to the palace every year must include this."

“Ordinary people will never see it in their lifetime.”

Aunt He and Aunt He looked at each other in bewilderment.

What does this mean?

Are they all country bumpkins?

Although they have indeed never seen it, there is no need to be condescending and step on others to elevate themselves, right?

The excitement in his heart when he saw Shu Jin gradually cooled down.

Mother He hadn't noticed yet and continued to brag, "My son Apeng is very filial. He immediately made me a set of clothes after he got that batch of goods."

"I told him that I am too old to have such good materials."

"But he didn't listen and insisted on doing it."

Mother He sighed, "I'll let him make a handkerchief. This one uses less material, and the rest can be sold."

Su Yan's heart moved. He took a batch of goods?

This will probably cost He's parents a lot of money.

Apparently, Su Yan was not the only one who thought so. The knowledgeable Grandmother He also grasped the key point immediately, "You bought a batch of Shu brocade?"

He's mother became even more proud, with a big smile on her face, while He's father beside her also looked pleased.

"That's right. If it weren't for my Apeng's wide network of contacts, we wouldn't have gotten such a good opportunity."

He's father couldn't help but interrupt, "One buy and one sell, one trade, the price can double!"

He Peng wanted to act modest, but his disdainful eyes and high chin gave him away.
