Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 225

Ling Jingxuan was pregnant, and this matter was like a spring breeze that blew through the entire Lingjia Village overnight. After all, the news of a man's pregnancy is shocking to the world. Many talkative women would whisper a few words in private, but they soon returned Let their man yell back, how can they talk about Ling Jingxuan today?

People who have a good relationship with Yuehua Villa, such as shopkeeper Wang Zhang and shopkeeper Wang from the county town, shopkeeper Hong have come to see him at home in person, and the county master who will be transferred to the capital in a few years has sent people to send things. He is currently busy helping Ling Jingxuan purchase sorghum seeds, and he will leave when the new county magistrate arrives in the next year.

As the calendar entered the coldest twelfth lunar month, all the chickens, ducks and fat pigs raised by Ling Jingxuan's family were ready to be slaughtered. There were more than 200 big fat chickens, [-] ducks, and ten big fat pigs weighing at least two hundred catties. He didn't plan to sell it. After entering the twelfth lunar month, and he was pregnant again, Ling Wang was willing to let him kill chickens and ducks and stew him every day to make up for him. Ling Jingxuan felt sick when he saw them. Pretend to sleep until mealtime.

Others have no appetite when they are pregnant and have constant morning sickness, but he has never vomited once, but he is getting more and more sleepy. He sleeps for at least seven hours a day, and he is especially afraid of the cold. In Yan Shengrui's arms, he accidentally saw that the feathers were lost after the ducks were slaughtered at home, and suddenly he remembered the down jackets that were popular all over the world in his previous life. After communicating with Wang Jinyu, within half a month, they returned I have really researched the ancient version of the down jacket, and the insulation effect is not inferior to that of modern high-tech products. What's more, because they are made of solid materials, Ling Jingxuan personally feels that they are more insulating than modern ones, but the appearance is not so good. That's all.

With the first down jacket, there will naturally be countless pieces in the future. Zhang Qing specially sent people to various villages to buy duck feathers at low prices, and hired many people to deal with the recovered duck feathers. Soon, the family’s Everyone got rid of the heavy cotton-padded jackets and put on light and warm down jackets. It stands to reason that they should be put on the shelves in Baiyun Pavilion next, but they were stopped by Yan Shengrui. , transported to the front line all year round for soldiers to wear, of course, not for free, the court is responsible for paying, 20 taels of silver each, for this reason, Ling Jingxuan designed two leather military boots, one high-end for the generals to wear, one for the generals Ordinary clothes for soldiers were also given to Baiyun Pavilion. For a while, Zhang Qing was as busy as a spinning top, buying duck feathers and various animal furs everywhere, and the production line under Baiyun Pavilion was also busy. In the end, even Ling Jinghan had to hand over the family's fungus business to his father to help them with their fuss.

Just because he was busy with a new business, Zhao Han and his wife did not celebrate Tie Wazi's birthday, so Han Fei took a day out to learn how to make birthday cakes with Ling Jingxuan, and the two families got together for a meal Even if it's over, Ling Jingxuan still didn't save the big gift that should be given, so he specially asked someone to bring a set of high-quality pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the county town and a special and small golden pig chain. It was a red envelope of 1 taels of silver, and the two of them loved this godson as much as their own sons.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, there are still a few days before the Chinese New Year. It is time for the ten big fat pigs in Ling Jingxuan's family to be slaughtered. On this day, everyone in the Wang family came, and the old Wang and his wife also brought a few children. Not to mention Mrs. Han, the butcher at the entrance of the village was hired by the pig butcher, because they had a lot of pigs, and the butcher brought his fellow and two apprentices before dawn. Don't mention how happy the little buns are. Running back and forth in a light down jacket, dancing with joy, their family finally had pig-killing vegetables to eat.

"Jingxuan, why are you still so skinny? Auntie, why don't you make up for him? Now he has two bodies, so he can't be like this."

There are a lot of servants in the family, as the hosts, they just need to be responsible for serving the guests. Seeing that Ling Jingxuan was three months pregnant and still as thin as before, Wang Mu couldn't help but feel a little distressed. They didn't visit the door a while ago, mainly because everyone needed it in their hearts. It took time to heal those pimples. After hearing that her eldest nephew was pregnant, she immediately brought a few sisters-in-law over to have a look. Later, the movement of the two families gradually returned to normal.

"Why didn't he make up for it? He can eat quite well, and he doesn't even have any symptoms of morning sickness, but he just doesn't gain weight. I'm so worried about this. Sister-in-law, what can you do?"

Speaking of this, Ling Wang's heartache was indescribable. At first they slaughtered chickens and ducks every day to make up for him. Later, because of his protest, she changed to killing him once every two days. Sheng Rui was even more annoying. They bought a lot of tonics such as ginseng and bird's nest, and even Xiao Wen, the most stingy in their family, secretly took out his pocket money to ask Qingzi to bring back a lot of tonics from the town. Meat, the whole family was worried to death, but there was nothing they could do. Recently, she felt that her gray hair was about to come out of worry.

"I heard that there is a kind of people who are born without gaining weight, and no matter how much they eat, they will not gain weight. Is this the case in our family Jingxuan?" Wang Mu couldn't help but wondered, what good can a country family like them have? way?Isn't it just eating as much as possible.

"I think it is, alas... I also beg him to gain weight now, as long as he doesn't lose weight."

Glancing at his worried son, Ling Wang sighed helplessly, and Ling Jingxuan, who had been talked about by them for a long time, smiled and comforted him: "Mother, the quality of a person's health is not measured by the amount of flesh. Your son is in good health. No, don’t Shanzi and the others take turns to check my pulse every day? Don’t worry about eating or drinking. I’m a doctor, so why don’t I know my condition? Don’t worry, I’m in good health.”

This body has suffered too much loss in the past few years. I don’t want to gain weight in this life. In fact, this is good. I eat, sleep and eat every day. I don’t have to worry about getting up one day and turning into a big fat pig. Besides, He is intersex, and his birth canal is smaller than that of ordinary women. If the child is too big, he may not be able to give birth naturally in the future. Shanzi's medical skills have improved rapidly, but he has not yet reached the level where he can operate on people alone. He is also planning to control his diet so that the child does not grow too big.

"Yes, yes, you always have your own reasons. Mother can't say no to you. By the way, sister-in-law, is your business okay?"

Wang Ling glanced at him angrily, and turned to pay attention to her family's hot and sour noodles business. It's a cold day, so the business is probably not easy to do, right?

"It's okay. After the weather is cooler, there are fewer people who eat hot and sour noodles. Later, we thought about changing it to spicy noodles without adding vinegar. The business can be regarded as passable. Although it is not as good as in summer, but, The lo-mei ones are selling better and better, and we plan to buy a shop in the town next year."

They have also made a lot of money in the past few months. Although they can't compare with the two aunts, they have greatly improved the living conditions of the family. In addition, the late rice harvest has also been bumper. Now they have a little spare money in their hands, and they are satisfied. This person, you can't be too greedy, otherwise you will be like Wang Han's mother and daughter. I'm afraid they don't know how they died.

"Buy a shop or just sell noodles and stewed vegetables?"

Ling Jingxuan interrupted suddenly and said that he originally wanted to hand over the hot pot business to them before, but after the matter of Wang Han's mother and daughter, the relationship between the two families was frozen for a while, but at that time he took a stake in Xinyuan again, Naturally, Xinyuan made the hot pot. Now that their relationship has gradually broken down, and the second uncle is as good as ever, he still intends to help them, just for the sake of his mother.

"Well, we can't do anything else, Jingxuan, do you have any good ideas?"

The men opened their mouths, of course there was no place for women to talk, Wang Jinfu decisively ended the topic, and the three Ling Jingui brothers also looked over at the same time. In fact, they wanted to discuss it with him a long time ago, but... well, it's hard to say!

"Hehe... Actually, it's not a good idea, but I think, since I bought a shop, if I still only sell noodles and stewed vegetables, it's better to set up a stall. If you want to buy a shop, you can buy the one with a backyard. Yes, keep two people in the town shop every day, open the door early in the morning, sell some noodles, noodles, chaos and so on, and sell stewed vegetables and stir-fries at noon, such as spicy crayfish, various cold dishes, etc., until the evening , the dishes are richer, as long as you order the food, you don’t need money to eat as much as you want, and your family has harvested a lot of late rice, so you don’t need to spend money to buy more food, right? In this way, business will definitely be good, uncles can refer to it .”

What Ling Jingxuan said is a bit similar to modern food stalls. The difference is that food stalls are open at night, and everyone eats them as supper. The taste of their dishes is good, and the food is full, so they don't have to worry about bad business.

"This is a good idea. Although it may be a bit of a loss to control the fullness, it is the same for us to make small profits but sell more. The big deal is to increase the amount of food next year. But, how do you make spicy crayfish? Jingxuan, don't think too much of uncle Stupid, our ancestors have been farmers for generations, so we are afraid that what we make will not be sold.”

Wang Jinfu felt embarrassed and embarrassed to bother his nephew with everything, but as a farmer, he really couldn't help it.

"Look at what uncle said, our family does not speak two different languages. Later, I will tell Mrs. Song that some aunts can learn from him. However, your dishes can only be controlled by your own people. Don’t let others learn it.”

Ling Jingxuan likes their sincerity when they have something to say, and naturally gets closer to them, and is willing to spare no effort to help them. The old couple sitting above are not to mention how happy they are, Ling Wang is also satisfied The smiling face is all over the face, the son is looking after her natal family just to give her a face, can he be unhappy?

"Hey, I'll let your eldest aunt and the others learn later, Jingxuan, uncle really doesn't know what to say, you..."

"Then don't say anything, Uncle, it's still the same sentence, we are a family, we don't need to talk about two families, just talk about things, even if I have no choice, we can discuss it, right?"

Wang Jinfu got agitated and almost said something he shouldn't have said again. Ling Jingxuan cut him off decisively. The matter of Wang Han's mother and daughter was their pain and his heart's displeasure. Better not to mention those.

"Hey, Uncle understands. You should pay more attention to your body. People with double bodies can't make troubles. Look at what I'm talking about. It's really embarrassing to say these things after the trouble is over."

"Haha." Wang Jinfu blamed himself while talking, the whole family couldn't help laughing out, and the entanglements they had had disappeared with the laughter. Generally speaking, the Wang family is still sincere, Ling Jingxuan Naturally, I am also happy to associate with them.
