Mother Ji vomited constantly and loved to smell the stinky fermented bean curd jar. For three months, everyone thought she was addicted. She ate everything with relish and even gained a little weight. One night, Father Ji, ready to work hard, held her in a puzzled position and asked why her menstruation hadn't started. Mother Ji, assuming she was old enough to stop, didn't take it seriously and said it hadn't happened for months...

Father Ji was stunned. How could this be possible? They had always been as sweet as honey. If his wife stopped having periods so quickly, wouldn't that mean they would be separated from each other and he would have to say goodbye to their happy life. No, a real man would not accept the arrangement of fate, so he turned around and went to see a doctor for treatment.

I took her pulse this morning and, wow, she's three and a half months pregnant! The news stunned the couple, leaving them speechless and unable to speak. They just hugged each other and cried silently.

After dinner, Father Ji carefully helped Mother Ji back to her room to rest. "I'll give Mother a message tomorrow morning. Let her be happy."

Regardless of whether it is a son or not, it is a great joy that my wife is pregnant again.

"Shushu said to set up three tables and invite relatives from both sides to come over for a simple meal."

"Well, Shushu...how is it?" Father Ji was a little worried.

Mother Ji sat down at the head of the bed and nodded at Father Ji, "You can't treat Shushu any differently just because you have a second child. Our daughter is smart and sensitive. She gets easily discouraged when she's sick. She keeps thinking about us. If we have a second child, she'll be even less motivated to recover."

"My dear, I know. Don't worry. I'm just worried that the second brother will get jealous and say that we treat Shushu better than him! Haha, it's his fault for dawdling!" After saying that, she immediately said anxiously, "I'll go keep an eye on that guy! Don't bully Shushu."

Ji's mother let him kiss her belly and hurried off to scare the boy away.

After his parents left, Wangshu called Li Xiaoxiao and Xia Xiaoxiao over to arrange the three tables for tomorrow night's dinner. "Let's stick with today's dishes. Are the dumplings a little flavorful?"

Xia Xiaoxiao and Li Xiaoxiao looked at each other in confusion and ate another. "Hey, Miss, this is normal in hot weather. It tastes like it's been steamed."

"..." Actually, it's a bit rotten. "Make less stuffing. It won't taste good if it's stuffed. Don't serve this stuffed food tomorrow."

Xia Xiaoxiao: ...There are a lot of dumplings in the kitchen...

Li Xiaoxiao was originally a wealthy farmer and was very frugal with food. "Miss, this is such a waste. Uncle Tang and the young master often eat like this..."

"Then leave it all for Uncle Tang and your young master to eat."

Qin Xiuyuan drank silently, waiting for a chance to be alone: ​​...

Li Xiaoxiao: ...Master, I was wrong...but I was telling the truth...

After the two girls finished their business and left the table, Qin Xiuyuan was about to turn around and speak when his future father-in-law came running out.

"My dear daughter, you have worked hard today." Father Ji deliberately pinched Wangshu's shoulders, as if he was saying, "My daughter is the best in the world."

"Daddy, my arms are tired from riding a horse."

"Hey, Shushu, you must be tired from running outside the city every day. Take a rest and let Xiuyuan keep an eye on it." Father Ji pounded his left arm.

"I wanted to rest, but who would have thought that Ji Lao Er would come? It's so stressful!"

Wangshu raised his right hand.

Father Ji immediately followed and kneaded, glancing at the wooden figure next to him, "Xiuyuan, thank you for your help."

Qin Xiuyuan mentioned that he might be traveling far away in the near future. Turning his attention to himself, he briefly discussed the matter of securing grain transport.

The price of grain in Yaocheng was getting more and more outrageous. The rich lined up desperately to store food, while the poor had to boil a small handful of rice in a large pot of water, and the rice soup was as clear as water.

The Ji family always has rice, flour, grain and meat. If they save grain, they can survive for two months, so they didn't join in the fun. Only the cost of meat has increased, and the shipping price has increased accordingly. The family's business has been quite slow recently.

Looking at the two women still eating and drinking in the corner, Taotao, Tang Bo and Ji Shou, Tang Bo said loudly: "Tang Bo, you go eat at the Kitchen God's place. Daddy said he has a family heirloom for me, but I won't let you hear it."

Ji’s father, who patted his arm gently and carefully, said: …The pot came from the sky, it’s a family heirloom, where can it be found? He doesn’t have it!

The five of them didn't care. The sunset had not yet faded, and the evening glow was illuminating everything. They quickly moved the table and stools, not forgetting to remind Wangshu: "Maybe the master has more than one heirloom..."

Wangshu continued, "Dad, why don't you go find Mom and collect the heirlooms?"

Ji's father refused to leave and pretended not to hear. How could he let that boy get away with it? He was left alone. Ugh!

"Dad, I have something to ask him. Go find your Ji Laoer. Don't worry, I have no intention of running away now. I won't run away when you bully the second brother, but now I am watching my daughter. How can you not see how hard my mother works?"

Exposed, Ji's father blushed: "Save some face...just talk about daddy..." Why not talk about someone who is shamelessly refusing to leave...

"Daddy, if you have any dissatisfaction with Qin Xiuyuan, you should tell me as soon as possible. Now he is the one who often comes to our house, and in the future you will often go to his house. Your suffering is still to come. You can make things difficult for him now, because he will retaliate against you in the future anyway... Hey, don't look at me, your daughter can't beat him..."

Wangshu covered his face, looking like he was helpless and asked, "Daddy, what can you do?"

Qin Xiuyuan, who had been in a good mood watching the show, stood up and said respectfully, "Uncle, you are always a guest of honor in the Qin family. Xiuyuan is your junior, so please correct me from time to time."

Ji's father walked with his hands behind his back, looking back every few steps to see Ji Laoer's mother.

Only a man and a woman were left in the yard. The table was full of meat and vegetables, but most of it was gone. Wangshu picked up a piece of braised pork. He looked at it and wanted to eat it, but when he got to it, he felt sick of it. He turned around and threw it to Qin Xiuyuan.

"How do you plan to get there?"

They decided to adopt a combat mode. They were divided into scouts, cavalry, and infantry. The scouts would conduct reconnaissance, while the cavalry would be responsible for dispersal and combat, and the infantry would use carts to pull the food. They would also set out at night, creating displays of wealth in towns near the road to divert attention. They would set out in two teams. One would advance at full speed through the mountains and dense forests of Sichuan Province, then immediately return after collecting the food. The second team would slow down, moving just in time to escort the first team back and spread the risk. There were secret medicines in the southwest, some of which could cause fainting, hallucinations, and even death, and some that could cause uncontrollable itching. These were to be rubbed on cart handles, on disguised food bags, and used in battle.

"Infantry pulling supplies?" "Over 2,000 kilometers between the southwest and northwest, and through dense forests, and infantry pulling supplies." "You're seeking speed over stability. You're using the entire cavalry to go through the dense forests, and the infantry to pull supplies. By the time you get back, I'll be starving to death."

He was talking nonsense all day long. Qin Xiuyuan looked at him disapprovingly, feeling helpless. This person really had no taboos and did whatever he wanted. "Speak your own way, and speak in a positive way."

Reaching out to help squeeze someone's arm, he asked, "So, do you have any good ideas?" She was smart and direct, flexible and efficient, and all the rules had to be followed according to her rules. He suddenly wanted to hear her brilliant ideas. Unknowingly, they were so close. Wangshu was startled and glanced at the wooden stool that someone had teleported with. Tsk tsk, cunning! Qin Xiuyuan shamelessly endured the scrutiny after being discovered.
