All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 545 Chapter 546. Persuasion and kindness

Old Mrs. Yang specially made a prune scone with white flour. The original intention was to thank the Lin family for helping her. Little did she know that Lin Zhixi just smelled it and spit it out before it even reached her mouth.

She said coquettishly: "There is still some meat oil at home, and I used it when making pancakes. Could it be that the meat oil has been left out for too long?

It's all my fault that grandma and I put things indiscriminately. Zhixi is white and clean, so the living conditions must be good. If the meat and oil is left out for too long, there will inevitably be a strange smell. The little girl must be smelled by this smell. "

Lin Zhixi vomited several mouthfuls in succession. She could no longer smell the smell of bacon, and the turmoil in her stomach finally calmed down.

She took out her handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and said apologetically to Grandma Yang: "Grandma Yang, you made this prune scone. It tastes delicious. I want to eat it when I smell it.

I don’t know what’s going on, but I just smelled the smell of fried bacon, and suddenly I can’t stand it anymore, and my stomach is churning.

It may be that I had a bad stomach after eating two vegetarian buns sold outside in the morning. There may be something wrong with the fillings. "

"It's already noon, and the food we ate in the morning has already been digested. It's definitely not a problem with the vegetarian buns."

Chen Yufeng looked at her daughter's face carefully, and suddenly a smile appeared on her face, "I think you may be pregnant. Have you seen any redness in the past two months?"

"Zhixi's pregnancy is a great event, I didn't get this scone for free, it's just a celebration for you.

Take a few bites and taste it later. If you can accept the taste, eat more. If you think it tastes good, tell me and I'll make it for you. "

Knowing that Lin Zhixi might be vomiting because of pregnancy, Grandma Yang felt relieved and said happily:

Just because you kept urging me and making insinuations, Wenxuan was worried that I was under psychological pressure. Taking my feelings into consideration, I decided to have a child as soon as possible. "

At the beginning, Lin Zhixi agreed with Yue Wenxuan's proposal and wanted to have a child two years later, but since she heard some rumors, she felt pressure in her heart.

Yue Wenxuan has just turned twenty-four and feels that he is still young. He still wants to spend two more years together, so naturally he does not want to have a child so soon.

Seeing that her daughter was hesitant and silent, Chen Yufeng continued to ask: "What is there to be shy about? There are no outsiders in the room. Think about it quickly. Have you seen any popularity in the past two months?"

"Some people have morning sickness very early. I used to be like this. You may have inherited my constitution."

Last month, Yue Wenxuan suddenly proposed to prepare for pregnancy, which made her very happy.

After making the preliminary judgment, Chen Yufeng was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear and kept mumbling:

But times are different. He can't just focus on his own enjoyment, but also has to consider the influence of public opinion from the people around him.

"God bless, Zhixi is finally pregnant. I have finally been looking forward to this day! You and Wenxuan have been married for almost two years. If you don't get pregnant again, I will have to urge you to go to the hospital to have a look."

Just over a month had passed, and the two of them had already achieved results in their pregnancy preparations. Lin Zhixi was naturally overjoyed.

Lin Zhixi said unhappily: "Mom, my health is fine, how could I not be pregnant? Didn't I tell you that Wenxuan didn't want to have a child so early? We are both still young, and we originally planned to wait a few years. want again.

Yue Wenxuan didn't want his wife to suffer this kind of injustice. After hearing such rumors, he had to change his mind.

The two have been married for two years and have no children. It is inevitable that some people will gossip about Lin Zhixi behind her back, thinking that she is just a hen that cannot lay eggs.

"It's a few days late. I haven't even noticed it yet. It's such a short time, so it shouldn't be possible for her to be pregnant, right?" Lin Zhixi was very happy, but felt that it was unlikely.

Being asked such a private question by my mother in front of so many people, even though she was married, she still felt a little shy.

"Okay, I'll ask him to take a look at it when I get back." Lin Zhixi also hoped that her mother's judgment was correct.

The couple had been preparing for pregnancy since last month. Lin Zhixi was ready to become a mother, but she didn't expect it to be so smooth.

Chen Yufeng was very sure that her daughter was pregnant, and she felt very happy, "If you are pregnant, ask Wenxuan to take your pulse as soon as you get back. Wenxuan's medical skills are so high, you will know just by asking him to take a look. , it can’t be wrong for sure.”

"Thank you, Grandma Yang. Although I haven't tasted it yet, I smell it and it smells good. I will definitely take a few more bites later." Lin Zhixi thanked her quickly.

"The vegetables are all cooked. You and your family can eat. I won't waste your time.

Zhixi, if you have time in the afternoon, go and sit upstairs. Grandma will bring you delicious food and teach you about her pregnancy experience. "

Seeing that Grandma Yang was about to leave, Lin Zhixi quickly rummaged through the cloth bag she had brought, pulled out a box of biscuits, stuffed it into the old lady's hand, and said:

"Grandma Yang, this is a little snack I made myself. You can take it back and eat it."

Lin Zhixi was worried that the old lady wouldn't want it, so she deliberately didn't tell her that the box contained biscuits.

“I can no longer accept your stuff!

Your mother has given me a lot of things. I came here today to let you try the scones I made. If I take your things, it will be like coming to your door to fight in the autumn breeze. Grandma, I can't do such a thing. "

Grandma Yang refused to accept the offer, and the two of them gave in for a long time. In the end, Grandma Yang left empty-handed.

After she left, Chen Yufeng sighed: "You are such an honest person. In fact, I didn't send many things, but the old lady took this favor very seriously.

When I saw Zhixi coming, I even made a piece of white flour cake and sent it over. I really couldn't bear to ask for it.

This cake is fragrant, and it looks like it's made of pure white flour. The little fat and oil in it is probably her entire family fortune. "

After saying this, Chen Yufeng said with emotion: "People are really different. I have helped my neighbor so many times, but she has never thanked me. She will just say some nice words without any actual actions."

"You shouldn't help her. I would say that Aunt Chen is a typical white-eyed wolf. No matter how many things are given to her, she will not be satisfied. She will also feel that our family gives too little.

Such a person is not worthy of sympathy. It is better to deal with her less in the future, let alone give away things. "Second sister-in-law has long disliked Aunt Chen and said angrily.

The eldest sister-in-law also tried to persuade her: "In the future, we should really stay away from Aunt Chen and have as little contact with her as possible.

Not only is this person a big talker, she can't hold back her words when it comes to anything, and the whole building knows about it, but she also has pink eyes and is never satisfied. "

"How old am I? I am no more experienced than you. If I didn't live across the street, I would have cut off all contact with her when I left. For people like her, we just know what to do in our own hearts. It's better not to bring it out for the sake of face. After all, I don’t see you when I lower my head every day. I’m such an old person, aren’t I just pretending? It’s not like I don’t know how to do it.”

Knowing that her mother-in-law was unhappy, the two daughters-in-law quickly picked up nice things to say. After a while, Chen Yufeng finally had a smile on her face again.

Except for Lin Zhixi, including Chen Yufeng, they have not seen meat for a long time. Today they once again ate the fragrant bacon and stir-fried shallots. Even though everyone only ate one or two pieces of meat, they were all very satisfied. satisfy.

After dinner, the family sat and had a conversation. Chen Yufeng began to urge: "Zhixi, you should leave early today and let your two sisters-in-law go with you. I am anxious to know the result.

After Wenxuan feels your pulse and asks your two sisters-in-law to come back and talk to me, I will feel at ease. "

"It's only two o'clock, why are you in a hurry? I finally made it back to my parents' house, so just let me stay a little longer."

Chen Yufeng urged a few more words, but Lin Zhixi had to give in and said: "Okay, can't I leave? Before I leave, I'll go to Grandma Yang's house for a visit.

I can't just eat the prune and vegetable scones made by Grandma Yang in vain. I visited their house and gave her something to repay the favor. "

"Go, go, bring more things. It's not easy for you, Grandma Yang." Chen Yufeng was very supportive.

Lin Zhixi took out the box of biscuits from his pocket and walked out the door with it in his hand.

Arriving at the door of Grandma Yang's house, the door was open and Grandma Yang was busy at home.

Seeing Lin Zhixi come in, Grandma Yang quickly put down the elm leaves in her hand and greeted warmly: "Zhixi is here, come in and sit down quickly."

"Grandma Yang, what are you busy with? Why do they all look like leaves?"

Lin Zhixi looked carefully at the leaves in the pot. They seemed to be elm leaves, but she wasn't sure.

"I went out in the morning and picked up a basket of elm leaves. The elm tree is a good thing and full of treasures. You young people must not know it. Since you asked, I will tell you today."

Grandma Yang is happy to teach these little common sense of life to young people.

"I really don't understand this. Why are only elm trees full of treasures, but not other trees? I'm lucky. I haven't suffered much since I was a child. I just happened to listen to you teach me." Lin Zhixi humbly asked for advice. .

"In our north, other trees are really not good, only the elm tree is full of treasures.

Elm trees are not beautiful, far less beautiful than weeping willows, and even not as straight as poplars. However, most of the trees planted in rural areas are elm trees. Why is this? It is because the elm tree is full of treasures. In case of disaster, this thing can save lives.

The first is elm money. After spring, elm trees grow elm money. It is a good thing that everyone likes to eat in normal years, let alone in disaster years.

Next are elm leaves, which are also edible. Not all leaves are edible. Although elm leaves are difficult to swallow, they are edible.

There are some secrets to the elm leaf rice made by grandma. It doesn’t taste so bitter. If you have time, you can learn from grandma.

Next is the elm bark. Just like elm leaves, not all bark can be eaten. In the north, only elm bark can be eaten.

The bark of the elm tree is sweet. After it is dried and ground into powder, it tastes good and is filling. It is much more delicious than the leaves of the elm tree.

However, you cannot peel off the bark of the elm tree easily until you are at the end of your rope. After all, after peeling off the bark, the tree will die, and you will not be able to eat elm money and leaves next year. "

Lin Zhixi really didn't understand the knowledge involved. It turns out that there are so many things to pay attention to when peeling off tree bark and eating leaves.

She said with emotion: "The thing I disliked the most was the elm tree. Every summer, wherever there were holes in the bark of the elm tree, there would be piles of bugs, and sometimes they would fall from the tree. It would even fall on me. I always felt very scary and disgusting.

I also wonder why people insist on planting elm trees that attract insects. Wouldn’t it be better to plant more beautiful weeping willows and poplars?

Now I know that it is precisely because elm bark is sweet and edible that it attracts insects so easily. "

"You're very careful in your observation, and that's indeed the reason. Elm trees are indeed very easy to attract insects, which is quite annoying.

I think if famine is truly eradicated, no one will plant elm trees. After all, elm trees are really unsightly. In the summer, there are insects everywhere, which is really scary.

I really hope that one day, when that time comes, there is no need to peel off the bark of trees and pull out the leaves. Young people at that time will definitely be very happy. "The old lady's eyes were full of longing.

After chatting with the old lady for a while, Lin Zhixi pointed to the biscuit box and said, "This is a little snack I made. You can try it when you are free and see how it tastes?"

"You seem to be quite ingenious at first glance, and the food you make must be delicious."

"If you think it tastes good, I'll bring it to you next time."

Having said this, Lin Zhixi took out a few more food stamps and stuffed them into the old lady's hand, "You can keep these national food stamps. If there is a really difficult month, use them to exchange for some food. Here. It’s our little secret, don’t tell anyone, and I won’t tell anyone else.”

The old lady's heart felt warm, and her eyes became moist involuntarily.

No matter how difficult the life is, she can survive with strength, but when she encounters the help of such kind-hearted people, her heart can't bear it and becomes softer and more emotional.

She turned over some food stamps in her hand and found that they totaled ten kilograms.

The old lady held Lin Zhixi's hand tightly and said emotionally:

“Son, you, like your mother, don’t want to see others suffer a little bit.

I can't take these food stamps, you'd better keep them for yourself. Although life is indeed a bit difficult, I can still survive if I persevere.

I am so old, I have never experienced any kind of hard life. I survived all the difficult times, and now I have monthly rations, at least the minimum guarantee.

For those of us who are older, there are ways to deal with days like this, so you really don’t have to worry about me. "

"This is what I feel like giving it to you, just accept it."

Lin Zhixi didn't want to be too condescending to the old lady, so she said a few polite words, relied on her own convenience, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
