Jiang Jiyun stared at his brother in astonishment, as if he had seen something incredible.

Xiao Wei walked over and asked curiously, "Brother Yuan, are you planning to go home and raise pigs after this war is over?"

Jiang Jiyuan slowly raised his head, glanced at his sister, and then nodded slightly in agreement.

Jiang Jiyun quickly turned his head and looked at his uncle. He felt a little nervous, afraid that he would say something wrong, so he retracted his neck like an ostrich and continued to eat.

Just as they finished their meal, a noisy voice suddenly came from the gate of the yard.

Jiang Wenming hurriedly stood up and went out to greet them. He saw several people standing at the door, among whom was an old lady with gray hair, who was the great-grandmother of the Tang family.

Grandma Tang carried a bamboo basket and walked slowly into the yard with her people.

She smiled and introduced them to everyone, "These are my granddaughter-in-law's family members. This one is her mother, these two are her sisters-in-law, and the one next to her is my second son's wife. Her daughter-in-law is also pregnant."

Then, the Tang family's grandmother changed the subject and said, "She's worried about something unexpected happening during childbirth, so she came to ask you. You taught my eldest granddaughter-in-law how to have a natural birth tonight. Could you teach them too?"

Faced with the question from the grandmother of the Tang family, Jiang Jiyun remained silent and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing that she hadn't responded, the Tang family mistakenly thought she was unhappy, so Mother Tang hurriedly said, "If it's inconvenient, forget it. We were just asking casually. Don't take it to heart."

Seeing that they had misunderstood his meaning, Jiang Jiyun quickly waved his hands and explained, "That's absolutely not what I meant! I just wanted to say that while that method might stop the bleeding, it could also easily cause a hemorrhage!"

"If you don't have acupuncture or other effective methods to stop bleeding, the mother's life will be in danger, so don't use this method unless it's absolutely necessary."

When the people in the yard heard Jiang Jiyun's words, they fell silent.

After a while, the young woman said softly, "But that's better than having two lives..."

Jiang Jiyun suddenly raised his head, looked directly at the woman, and asked, "The child's mother died, leaving only the newborn child. Are you sure that this child can live and grow up safely without the protection of its mother?"

The woman was obviously stumped by Jiang Jiyun's question. She looked at Jiang Jiyun blankly, as if she didn't understand why the child said that.

At this time, Yan Wen walked up and patted Jiang Jiyun on the shoulder.

She said to the woman, "Sister, my sister's point is, even if you die and save the child, can you guarantee that the child's father won't remarry? Once there's a stepmother, there's also a stepfather! How can the child have an easy life in the future?"

The young woman put herself in the other woman's shoes and her expression became even uglier. The old people all knew how hard it was to live at the hands of a stepmother. After all, they had seen it more or less.

Yan Wen said at the right time, "Grandma, aunt, sisters-in-law, come and sit down and talk. It's tiring to stand."

Tang's mother put down the basket and said to Jiang Wenming and the others, "Hey, these are the eggs my family prepared. Thank you for saving my life."

Jiang Jiyuan looked at the basket full of eggs and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

He hurried over and politely declined Aunt Tang's kindness: "Aunt, I appreciate your kindness and thank you very much. But we have to travel early tomorrow morning, and it's not convenient to carry so many eggs. You should keep them for your daughter-in-law to nourish her body. She has suffered a lot this time."

In fact, Jiang Jiyuan felt a headache when he saw these eggs.

Because his sister raised a lot of chickens in her space, and those old hens were particularly good at laying eggs, so they could harvest a lot every day.

Not only could they not finish eating all the eggs themselves, but the base and Ma Chao and his men also received a large batch of eggs every few days.

Moreover, Jiang Jiyun herself particularly likes boiled eggs, and she always cooks a big pot every time.

Not only did she eat with gusto, she also enthusiastically stuffed eggs for everyone. Even Zhang An and Chen Meng, who were now separated, could not escape her "feeding".

When they were fighting before, they were often hungry. Even wild vegetables and black-wheat bread could hardly fill them up, let alone "luxury" items like eggs.

Their lives were very hard at that time and they were often hungry. When they were hungry, they could only drink some water to relieve the pain, or tighten their belts so that their stomachs would not feel so uncomfortable.

However, they never imagined that one day they would have such luxurious treatment - being able to eat eggs until they get tired of them!

If I tell others about this situation, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

After all, in this era of material scarcity, eggs are a very precious food, and ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to eat them often.

When the people who came by heard that they were leaving early the next morning, they couldn't help but look regretful. One of them suggested, "Why don't you boil these eggs and take them with you on the road? That way you can fill your stomach."

Jiang Jiyuan quickly shook his head and explained with a smile, "Auntie, it's getting hot. Boiled eggs will easily spoil if you carry them on the road, and they will be wasted. You should save the eggs for the new mother to nourish her body."

After hearing what he said, several people felt that it made sense, but Tang's mother felt a little guilty.

She ran all over the village to get these fifty good eggs. She wanted to give her savior something good to eat on the way, but she didn't expect that they would leave tomorrow. It would be a pity if the eggs went bad on the way.

Seeing that Jiang Jiyuan and the others were determined and not being polite to her, Aunt Tang suddenly had an idea and thought of a good idea. "Then I'll go back and make some dry food that can be kept for a few days on the road. I guarantee it won't go bad. That way, you don't have to worry about going hungry on the road."

At this moment, a young woman's voice came from the gate of the yard: "Mom..."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman with two pigtails standing at the gate of the yard. Her eyes passed through the crowd and fell directly on Jiang Jiyuan and the others.

Grandma Tang looked at the person who walked in and muttered unhappily, "Hey, Zhou Yan, you're pregnant, why are you here in the dark at night?"

When Jiang Jiyun heard the name "Zhou Yan", he was stunned.

She lowered her head, thinking to herself, "Why does this name sound familiar? I must have heard it somewhere..."
