Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "Xiaobei is going to be a father soon."

It seems like he was a naughty child yesterday, but today he is going to be a father.

"Now that it's winter and we don't have to go to work, my in-laws are not idle either. My father-in-law and grandfather-in-law are at home weaving baskets, and my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are at home making cloth shoes."

Even in winter, find something to do.

"Mom, these are the cotton shoes your mother-in-law made for you."

And cotton shoes?

Old Mrs. Huo looked down at the pair of cotton shoes.

Mother Huo didn't stay in the military compound for long before she was taken back to the family compound by Father Huo.

This is the team.

"Nini, it's raining outside, so don't go out for a walk."

Going out for a walk?

"I'm not blind, I can see, and I'm not planning on going out for a walk."

She is not a child either.

"Why do I feel like it's raining and snowing?" Zhao Yunshu walked out of the room, stood under the eaves, looked up at the sky, and found something wrong.

Sleet?

Hearing what Zhao Yunshu said, several men who were weaving baskets under the eaves also looked up.

"Sleet, sleet."

"It looks like it's going to snow this year."

"No wonder I feel so cold today." Grandma Zhao said as she looked at the walnuts.

It snowed at night.

"Xiaobei, Xiaobei, it's snowing, it's snowing."

So excited?

At this time last year in Beijing, you could see snow as long as you went out. Why are you so excited to see snow now?

"I see it. I see it."

You are the only one who got up late in the family. The others got up early and saw the snow in the yard. The children were signaled by the adults not to scream and worry about Zhao Yunshu who had not woken up yet.

"You must be hungry. I'll bring you food."

Zhao Yunshu glanced at him and asked, "Are you disgusted by my late wake-up?"

How can I think of these things in just one sentence?

"No no."

Zhao Yunshu would never admit that she went to bed early and got up late because of her pregnancy.

The latter quickly brought breakfast, which consisted of sweet potato porridge, a boiled egg, and a side dish. It was a very simple breakfast.

But now that winter is here, only Zhao Yunshu can eat eggs every day.

"I wonder if the black market in the city will still take care of it?"

"Keep your voice down." Huo Shaobei was afraid that the Zhao family would hear him.

It can be said that they visit the black market as if it were a store and can go there whenever they want.

“We don’t have much rapeseed oil at home.”

There is lard.

After all, we had brought back two wild boars and made a lot of lard from them.

But rapeseed oil is very scarce?

"Rapeseed oil is used for frying, while lard is used for stir-frying."

There is no shortage of lard at home.

"Director Li sent me a reward last time. Wait a few days and I'll go over there and take a look."

"Are you not afraid that my parents will find out?"

"Not afraid."

Black market. No one living in the city is unaware of the black market.

Zhao Yunshu raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, "You're brave enough to get some rapeseed oil."

"Grandma, I want to eat sweet potato pancakes for lunch."

Sweet potato pancakes?

"We'll have sweet potato pancakes for lunch." Grandma Zhao agreed immediately.

I'll get to work now.

Zhao Yunshu didn't think she was being pretentious or anything.

Older people are afraid that their younger generations will think they are too old and can’t do anything.

Sweet potato pancakes are very simple for Grandma Zhao.

"The malted milk is ready to drink."

Zhao Yunshu looked at the prepared malted milk, which was a nutritional supplement brought here by Huo's mother. Every morning, Huo Shaobei would make a cup for Zhao Yunshu to drink.

Zhao Yunshu lived a simple life like this every day.

Chew sugarcane and eat oranges.

She soon received something mailed from Beijing.

They were all mailed by Mrs. Huo and her mother.

"Nini, be careful on the road."

Today Zhao Yunshu and Huo Shaobei went to the city for inspection.

Although Doctor Shi could also conduct the examination, Zhao Yunshu wanted to take a walk around the city.

So, when I went out to the city, I brought vegetables, grain, meat, and grapefruit peels with me, planning to make essential oil.

"The fetus is developing well and the mother's nutrition is also keeping up."

Both the pregnant woman and the fetus were well cared for.

"How's the fetal movement lately?"

As the pregnancy progresses, fetal movements become more noticeable.

Of course, Zhao Yunshu also practices prenatal education every day, reading books and listening to the radio.

"It's very obvious during the day."

The female doctor asked some more questions and then gave answers.

Now that we're in the city, we need to do some simple packing before we can move in.

"I asked grandma to come to the city these few days, but she still hasn't come."

Huo Shaobei knew a little about it.

I'm not used to living in the city, and eating is not convenient.

"Winter vacation is coming soon."

The New Year is coming again in a flash.

For Huo Shaobei, the time passed very quickly.

This is my second New Year in the south.

"Does it smell musty?"

Even if you put clothes and quilts in the closet, if you don't live at home often and don't take them out to dry, it will be humid and will easily produce a musty smell.

"Not obvious."

A little bit, but Zhao Yunshu doesn't have mysophobia, so he can live here.

After a break, one of them cooked while the other was busy extracting essential oils.

The young couple stayed in the city for several days. When they returned, they brought ten kilograms of rapeseed oil and some food back to the brigade.

"Why is there so much rapeseed oil?" Grandma Zhao exclaimed in surprise when she saw the plastic barrel filled with wine.

"Grandma, it's Chinese New Year soon, so we need to fry a lot of things."

Such a big bucket, will it be used for frying during the New Year?

"That's fine."

Although Grandma Zhao accepted such a big bucket of rapeseed oil, she was thinking about what to fry for the New Year.

Radish meatballs and crispy pork.

When Mrs. Zhao saw so much oil, she wanted to ask her sister-in-law where they got the oil.

This is oil.

"Da Zhuang's mother, your mother's family raises a lot of ducks and has a lot of duck eggs. If you have time, go back and buy some duck eggs. These fried crispy meat are even more delicious with duck eggs."

Of course Mrs. Zhao had no objection.

"Grandma, I'm going back to my parents' house tomorrow to buy some duck eggs."

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. It will be lively this year and the children will have no shortage of food.

Winter vacation will be here soon.

The younger ones all did well in the exams.

After Zhao Yunshu became pregnant, she had more free time and her family didn't allow her to go out, so she taught the children when she had time.

So this time Xiaozhuang got a perfect score.

The kid was so happy.

Zhao Yunshu rewarded him with one dollar.

It made the kid even happier.

Because the fruit candies in the supply and marketing cooperative were one cent each, and you could buy a lot of fruit candies for one dollar.

As for Erzhuang and Dazhuang, although they did not score 100 points, Zhao Yunshu still gave each of them a reward of 50 cents.

Zhao Yunhai and Zhao Yunfeng also came back with rice and millet. The four of them came back by bus.

As for the New Year's goods distributed by the machinery factory, Zhao Jianan brought them back, and also brought back his son and Wang Yuyan.

Now the house is lively.

For Zhao Yunshu, this means there is someone to supervise her at home.
