Rebirth of the Evil Stepmother and the Four Villainous Children

This person was naturally Jiang Laosan and his wife. They came with a lot of bags, and Xie Wuyou was so scared that he almost flew up and went back to the room to put on the human skin mask.

Cheng smiled and said, "What's wrong, brother?"

Zhou Rongrong said indifferently: "I don't know why you are here."

Cheng poked Jiang Laosan, and Jiang Laosan said unnaturally.

"I came to wish my elder brother and his wife a happy new year."

As he said this, he placed all the gifts he brought on the table. Although the relationship between the two families had eased a lot now, Jiang Laosan felt quite embarrassed when he thought about what he had done in the past.

Come to think of it, I feel that I was quite ignorant in the past. If it weren’t for my wife’s teaching, I would have ended up similar to Jiang Lao Er.

Zhou Rongrong said.

"Thank you very much, have you eaten yet?"

Cheng said quickly.

"Eat, eat. We have prepared some red envelopes. Come, come, give some to all the children."

Several children looked at Zhou Rongrong and waited for her to nod before they dared to go up and take the red envelope.

After all the red envelopes were distributed, Cheng looked at Jiang Laosan again. Jiang Laosan didn't have any bad intentions. Now that he had such good news to share with his family, he naturally smiled.

"Brother, sister-in-law, my wife is pregnant. It was really my fault before, but now it's just been two months. I wasn't sure before, but I took her pulse and she said she's pregnant. Thank you for reminding me, sister-in-law. If it weren't for you, my wife would still have to take medicine."

Zhou Rongrong was also happy for the two of them. She looked at Cheng happily and saw a smile on Cheng's face.

"Then you must have a good rest and take good care of yourself. Sanbao has learned medical skills well recently. Let Sanbao check your pulse every day to make sure it's safe, okay?"

Cheng was naturally willing: "Of course, I'll have to trouble Sanbao."

San Bao said like a little adult, "No trouble, no trouble. It's two months now. Aunt San, you have to pay attention to nutrition. You can't eat overnight meals. You can't eat less eggs and meat every day, but don't eat too much. If you eat too much, the fetus will be too fat and it will be difficult to give birth. Oh, and you can't have sex in the first three months."

Cheng and Jiang Laosan blushed when they were told not to have sex with such a young child.

San Bao said indifferently: "I am a doctor, so there is no need to worry about gender, and there is no age difference. You must remember what I said. It was not easy to get this child."

Seeing that the two were serious, Sanbao continued to talk about some precautions during pregnancy, and even Xie Wuyou listened attentively.

Sanbao received a lot of education from Zhou Rongrong, and also read many books on scientific fetal care. Naturally, many of them were different from the fetal care customs of the Zhou Dynasty.

For example, pregnant women in the first three months of pregnancy are advised to lie down and rest as much as possible. But it is different for Sanbao. As long as there is no abnormality in the body in the first three months, some light work can still be done. Appropriate exercise can enhance physical fitness and give pregnant women a better physical condition.

There are also some different ways to take care of the fetus, and Sanbao introduced them one by one clearly, which stunned the two new parents, and naturally they also learned a lot of knowledge.

After the two digested the knowledge, they were no longer as nervous as they were at the beginning. Instead, they relaxed and decided to take care of the fetus according to what Sanbao said.

When I got home, I poured out all the soups that were used to nourish the pregnancy, including those greasy pig's trotter soup and heart and lung soup. I focused on healthy eating.

This year, Zhou Rongrong still plans to wait until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year to start work, but the college requires students to go to school on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. Zhou Rongrong no longer needs to spend much time and effort to take care of the workshop. As for Liu Dazhuang and his group, Zhou Min will continue to teach them.

During this time, Zhou Rongrong naturally took the children to do handicrafts and continued to study how to make water wheels more efficiently and how to apply water wheels to agriculture.

Zhou Rongrong also used this time to walk around and take a look. Now many wealthy people in the village and town, such as Boss Li's family and Doctor Zhao's family, have more or less renovated two or three rooms.

Once you get in, you even have to take off your cotton-padded clothes because it is so warm. As for the villagers' homes, they all have kangs. Either the whole family shares a big kang and the children sleep together at night. Those who have a little savings have one kang in each room. It is so warm that you don't want to get down from the bed.

Even many people who cut firewood and went to the town to sell had booming business, with every household scrambling to make reservations. This allowed many people to make a small fortune this winter by cutting firewood in the town.

All these things are going smoothly, and now we can start making the tools needed to make paper.

Zhou Rongrong found Yue'er's father. After looking at the drawings, he didn't know how to do those complicated things. However, the only carpenter Zhou Rongrong knew was Yue'er's father.

Xie Wuyou now has use for him.

"Rongrong, I know a guy who's really good at carpentry. He's in Zhao County. Do you want to go there?"

Making bamboo paper was originally in Zhou Rongrong's plan, so of course she had to go. However, ever since the incident with the bandits, Zhou Rongrong no longer wanted to leave the children alone at home, so she took the children to the town, rented a carriage, and went to Zhao County together.

Zhou Rongrong prepared everything very well for the journey. Anything that was insufficient was taken directly from the space. Apart from some bumps on the road, the children were fine and were even very excited.

When they reached the edge of a cliff, Xie Wuyou said.

"Jiang Huaizhi's body is down there. Do we need to collect it?"

Zhou Rongrong nodded.

"Of course, that's my husband."

In name only, but he is also your husband, isn't he?

This statement made Xie Wuyou very jealous, and he put on a stern face. Zhou Rongrong found it funny and gave him an impolite order.

"Go pick it up. My child is still young and it's not suitable for him to go down."

The main reason was that there was heavy snow and the mountain road was difficult to travel on. Zhou Rongrong didn't want to go down at all, so Xie Wuyou had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, wait for me. If I had known earlier, I would have brought back this man's body."

Xie Wuyou muttered to herself before going down the cliff to look for the body of her ex-husband. Fortunately, she had a topographic map, otherwise it would have been difficult to find.

Zhou Rongrong and a few others found a place sheltered from the wind, lit a fire and started cooking and warming themselves by the fire.

Not long after, the porridge was ready, and Xie Wuyou came up with something wrapped in a black package. When Zhou Rongrong opened it, it was full of human bones, but it was obvious that there were not enough bones.

Zhou Rongrong still told the children.

"This is your father's skeleton. These are all we have. Let's go home and bury your father."

Erbao has the deepest feelings for Jiang Huaizhi. This time, when he finally saw his father's bones with his own eyes, he truly felt that his father was dead. He couldn't help but redden his eyes and threw himself into Zhou Rongrong's arms and burst into tears.

Zhou Rongrong patted Erbao's back gently and comforted him.

"It's okay, Mom will always be with you, don't be sad."

Several children were also infected by Erbao's emotions and started sobbing for a while. They didn't think there was anything wrong with death before, thinking that death meant that the person would never be seen again and would be buried in the ground.

But now seeing these broken bones, I seem to understand what death means. It’s not just that we will never see this person again, but that they will really disappear from this world?

That person will never come back and cannot be heard by countless people who miss him. He will only turn into a handful of earth, leaving the sad person alone crying in the world.

Zhou Rongrong comforted the child for a long time. Although she had never met Jiang Huaizhi, it must be very hard for a grown man to raise so many children, right?

It took a while for the children to get better. They put the bones away in a fine sandalwood box. Erbao asked.

"But now everyone thinks my father is still alive, what should he do?"

Zhou Rongrong also felt a headache. The appearance of this person meant that Jiang Huaizhi was still alive, and so many people saw it.

Xie Wuyou said.

"Don't worry, I have thought of a way out. I can't pretend to be him forever. I have a fake death pill. After taking it, I can enter a state of fake death. You can also use this as an excuse to arrange a proper funeral for Jiang Huaizhi."

Funerals were very important in ancient times, otherwise there would not be the idea of ​​selling oneself to bury one's father. For people like Jiang Huaizhi whose bodies were left exposed in the wilderness, their souls would be trapped there forever and become a wandering ghost.

Zhou Rongrong snorted coldly.

"You are very thoughtful."

Xie Wuyou was so angry that he didn't dare to speak anymore.

The next day at noon, Zhou Rongrong and his group arrived in Zhao County. Compared to the previous trip for Dabao's exam, this time was much more relaxing.

What's more, it was the New Year's Day, and the snow on the streets was swept and piled up on both sides. Some merchants even made two chubby snowmen by themselves, one on the left and one on the right sides of the store, looking like stone lions.

There were no fewer people on the streets because of the snow. On the contrary, there were many new people, some selling things with shoulder poles, some delivering goods on ox carts, and some families just coming to have fun. It was very lively.

Xie Wuyou was wearing a human skin mask, but his back was straight. His broad shoulders and narrow waist made many people look at him sideways, and then they felt a little disappointed when they saw his ordinary face.

The car turned around and came to an alley. There were shabby and low houses on both sides of the alley. Compared with the bustling main street, it seemed not so impressive.
