Wu Ya pulled her, "It's okay, it's almost five months, it's already been sitting well, and it won't be tiring to light a fire."
Zhou Guo was very strong and didn't dare to struggle with her, so he just stood up.
Thinking about how they had to prepare a large table for every meal, he said to Li: "Mother, why don't we buy two maids? Now that my eldest sister-in-law is pregnant and my eldest sister is married, how can you manage this whole family by yourself?"
Li said, "Why buy a maid? What can't you do with this little work? You can have someone do the work in my fields, and leave some work in the vegetable garden and the berry seedlings. Then find someone to do the work at home. What will I do? Eat and sleep every day?"
Zhou Guo said, "You can sweep the floor, plant flowers, make clothes and shoes, just like my elder sister. Besides, when my elder sister-in-law gives birth, how can you take care of her by yourself?"
Li waved her hand, "Your elder sister's life is not something that ordinary people can live. If I get sick from being idle, I'm fine like this every day. The work is not tiring, and I can still handle it. I like doing it. Please don't bother with it."
Wu Ya laughed, "Second Aunt is just like me. I feel uncomfortable if I don't do something."
They are all used to being hardworking, and if they are suddenly asked to stop working, they can't find the meaning of life.
Zhou Guo didn't mention it again. The most important thing was to live happily.
Zhou Xing got the news when the baby was three months old. Once the news spread, a large truck of gifts was sent over, including all kinds of food, daily necessities, and clothes.
The villagers envied her, "This aunt married well. Her parents were so generous when they had a nephew. They gave a whole cart of money. Did you see that? I also saw two rolls of very beautiful cloth, very shiny. I guess they are either silk or satin."
After life in the village got better, people were willing to spend money. They couldn't afford to buy horses by the piece, but a few feet would do. After all this, they gained some experience.
In the courtyard, Li sent the people away and said to Zhou Guo, "Logically speaking, your sister has been married for several months, why is there no movement from her body?"
Zhou Guo was helpless, "Mom, my sister has only been married for a few months, why are you in such a hurry?"
Li said, "It's not that I'm anxious. I'm just worried that the Zhao family will be anxious. Their family has been a single-line family for three generations and it's difficult to have children. If your sister could give birth to a child for the Zhao family earlier, I wouldn't have to worry about her in the future."
As a result, two days later, news came from the Zhao family that Zhou Xing was pregnant.
It was just three months after I was pregnant that I dared to report to the Zhou family.
The old lady came to apologize in person, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. You know that our family has been a single-child family for three generations. We were afraid that something might go wrong if we announced it before the baby was firmly in place. Our whole family values this baby very much. We are happy whether it's a boy or a girl!"
Mrs. Li laughed happily, "Look at what you said, I am so happy, how could I be surprised? You can pay so much attention to our child, it is also a blessing for the child."
The big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. Zhou Xing was really promising. She got pregnant not long after she got married. If she gave birth to a boy, she would be a great hero to the Zhao family. Even if it was a girl, she would still be a hero. The Zhao family hasn't had a aunt in these generations, so it's even more rare for the whole family.
When Zhou Guo heard that Zhou Xing was pregnant, he was also very happy. He was busy preparing things and said to Li and Wu Ya, "Mother, sister-in-law, why don't you go to Zhao's house to see my sister? It would be good to walk around for a while."
Li asked, "Are you going?"
Zhou Guo shook his head. "I won't go. The villages below are about to start the autumn harvest. I have to go down and watch. I also have to go to the two neighboring counties. There are six or seven hundred families in those two counties who have come to buy fertilizer. I have to go to collect the grain."
When Mrs. Li heard this, she said, "Then I won't go. Let your sister-in-law go and take a look. I have to cook for you at home. You guys are busy outside all day, and I can't let you come back and not even have a hot meal."
Zhou Guo was really busy, so after a few words of persuasion, he just ignored her and said, "We need to go visit my elder sister. I have prepared the gifts for you. I am still busy there, so I can't accompany you. I will leave first."
Wu Ya smiled and said, "Guoguo is really meticulous. She even prepared gifts for us."
Li said, "That's right. You are so young, but you are still worried about adults. All right, Damao's wife, you go ahead. I'll let Damao go with you. Oh, no, Damao is not at home. I'll let the housekeeper go with you."
Zhou Guo left after saying this.
The autumn harvest will be here in seven or eight days, so she has to go down and see how the crops in each village are growing so that she can have an idea of the situation.
Only she could go there in person for this matter. No one else could tell what kind of wheat was good wheat, nor could they tell roughly how many kilograms could be harvested from one acre of land.
He prepared some dry food and water, carried the account books, and took two people with him on horseback, and went down to the village. He first went to the two neighboring counties. There were twenty or thirty villages in the two counties in total, so two days was enough.
Many people in the two counties still know her, and most of them have seen her when buying fertilizer.
Zhou Guo, a child in his teens, remembered it better than anyone else. After all, such a young child could be so successful. They had only seen such a child in their lives.
At this moment, most people will come to the fields after dinner when they have nothing to do. The harvest is about to begin, and they pray that God will be supportive and not send continuous drizzles, so that they can have a good harvest this year.
Zhou Guo and the other two stopped their horses at the entrance of the village. She pointed at the village in front of them and said, "Give me the account book of this village."
Soon someone took out the account book and handed it to her.
Zhou Guo took it, opened it and had a look. Only more than 20 households in the village bought fertilizer, but there were at least 60 households in the village, which was less than half.
If these twenty-odd households can have a good harvest this year, I believe that all the fifty or so households in the village will be her customers next year.
"Let's go into the village."
She didn't know where these people's land was, but she would go wherever she saw land. She would dismount her horse and run to the land to look, looking more carefully than the owners of the land.
The landowner stood up and saw three people standing in his field with horses. He was startled and asked warily, "What are you doing? Where are you from?"
Zhou Guo turned around and saw that there were other people. He smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, uncle. We are from the Zhou family of Cangshan Village. Many families in your village came to our village to buy fertilizer in the spring. It's almost autumn harvest, so I came to see how everyone's harvest is and whether it is better than in previous years."
Upon hearing what was going on, the man relaxed and came up to me excitedly, "Are you really from the Zhou family? Hey, tell me, how do you sell the fertilizer at home? Do you really not charge for it? I heard that you pay it back with excess grain, is that always the case? Are you going to do it again next year?"
I asked a lot of questions in one breath.
