Chapter 161: Bring Pei Bok Joo with you to ward off evil spirits
It's like she's about to give birth now, and there are still several months to go. If she grows any bigger, how will Lingxi handle it?

Pei Yanning comforted Second Uncle Pei: "I just consulted a doctor a few days ago. It is said that the doctor's ancestor was a royal physician. He found out that Lingxi is pregnant with twins, and her belly is larger than that of a five-month pregnant woman.

Don't worry, second brother. The doctor said Lingxi is in good health. If she moves around regularly and pays attention to nutrition, there won't be any problems."

This is true. Last week, Pei Yanning finally squeezed out some vacation time and used it to take Lingxi to see a doctor.

The old man was quite reliable. He wrote several pages of recipes and also mentioned some taboos.

Uncle Pei and Pei Jin looked relieved upon hearing this.

Second Uncle Pei seemed to have thought of something, and asked Pei Yanning with a puzzled expression: "Second brother?"

Pei Yanning: “…”

!!!

Lingxi almost choked on the egg custard.

Gu Si suppressed his laughter and said nonsense in all seriousness: "Second Uncle, you heard it wrong, Dad was calling you second brother!"

"Misheard?"

Uncle Pei was a little confused, but also seemed to believe it. Before Pei Yanning could breathe a sigh of relief, Uncle Pei said, "Then call me second brother again."

Pei Yanning: “…”

Gu Si Lingxi: "..."

Phew, hahahaha!

Pei Jin and Second Uncle Pei had the same gentle expressions, but they almost couldn't hold back when they saw the mischief in their own father's eyes.

but--

He looked at Uncle Pei and Pei Yanning with some suspicion, always feeling that there was something strange here.

Gu Si winked at the two brothers.

If you don't want to be exposed, it's best to be more restrained.

Second Uncle Pei and Pei Yanning coughed, and Second Uncle Pei changed the subject, "Forget it, your second brother is generous and won't bother with you. He has to move the things first, and we have to go back later."

Pei Jin's attention was drawn back, and he nodded: "Yes, Pei Yu is still outside guarding the ox cart. If he doesn't go out, he will probably be waiting anxiously."

Pei Xuan went to school, and Pei Yu was on break this time, so he happened to come along.

There are several baskets on the car.

Watermelon, melon, grapes, and all kinds of vegetables...

He also brought them a bag of flour.

When Gu Si heard this, he also followed him out.

Pei Jin and Gu Si walked out and whispered to him, "We have harvested the food in the mountains. When no one is paying attention at night, we moved it to the cave above your ice cellar. The white flour we brought this time was ground from that.

After all, this is the new noodles this year, so I’ll send you a bag to try.”

It’s not that we don’t want to send more over, but this place is so small that there’s no place to put them.

Gu Si counted the harvest and breathed a sigh of relief.

This is just the crop of grain harvested from the mountains.

As long as it is stored properly, it will be enough for the whole family to eat for two or three years.

When there is a natural disaster or famine, food won’t be that tight.

Moreover, you can still plant some more crops in the mountains now, such as corn, sweet potatoes, beans, and peanuts. You can take your time and plant them according to your own wishes.

Seeing that they were all busy, Lingxi thought for a moment, took out a curtain of the cut noodles from the space, and also took out a piece of pork belly. Her second uncle and the others had brought onions, ginger, and garlic this time, so she didn't take them out.

At the speed of the ox cart, it would take at least two hours to get here. Based on this time, it is not certain whether they have eaten or not.

But, no matter whether you eat it or not, just pretend that you didn’t eat it. It’s not a big problem.

She put these in a conspicuous place, then went to the storage room and took out a large box of towels, toothbrushes, shoes, soap, wool, matches, kerosene and other things sent by the pharmaceutical factory, and waited for them to take them away.

After unloading the things, Uncle Pei and Pei Yanning went to find a place to tie the ox cart. Brothers Pei Jin, Pei Yu and Gu Si came back first, and Pei Jin helped Gu Si to cook noodles.

Pei Yu also handed Lingxi a package: "Grandma asked me to give it to you. Hey, I don't know what's inside. When we were loading the car, she stuffed it in my mouth mysteriously and asked me to bring it."

Lingxi was also very surprised.

"Did you give it to me?"

She opened the package and was stunned when she saw what was inside. She glanced at the stitches and her eyes felt a little sore.

"Grandma is so old, why are you still making clothes for me?"

Lingxi shook out her clothes. It was a very simple nightgown. It was loose at the waist, which was not a problem for her to wear with her current body shape.

The old lady is old, and her family rarely lets her use needles and thread.

My second and third aunts were the ones who did the mending of clothes and making soles.

Now she was asked to do it again. Lingxi felt unworthy of letting the old lady worry about her at such an old age.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't cry."

Pei Yu was shocked. "If Second Brother makes you cry, then your uncle and Second Uncle won't have to deal with you. Your Fourth Brother will have to give Second Brother a hard time."

Lingxi couldn't help laughing: "No way."

Pei Yu was relieved to see people laughing, but he was also puzzled.

He asked Pei Jin who was standing at the door of the storage room: "Brother, why did grandma start sewing by herself?"

Pei Jin held his forehead helplessly after hearing this.

I don’t know if the old lady is too old.

For a long time, she always felt that the house was not clean and said that there was something next to her. It even pushed her that day. People at home thought she was hallucinating, but no matter what the old lady said, it didn't make sense and she was very persistent in her thoughts.

The old lady is now unwilling to be alone. She likes to bring Pei Fuzhu with her to ward off evil spirits. She also likes to hold something in her hand that can hurt people, such as a sickle, a kitchen knife, scissors, a needle, etc.

But she felt it was a waste of time to just hold it. That's how Lingxi got this dress.

However, Lingxi was timid, and Pei Jin was worried that telling her directly would scare her, so she only said, "Recently, the old lady was bored and called Pei Fuzhu to watch her learn needlework. I guess she did it while teaching Pei Fuzhu."

The old lady is very good at embroidery.

Lingxi learned needlework from an old lady when she was a child.

but--

Lingxi was still shocked.

"Pei Bok Joo, learning needlework?"

Or does the old lady teach her personally?

"What's wrong?" Pei Yu asked casually.

Lingxi coughed.

"Both of them, Pei Fuzhu kept saying, 'Be careful, God, I will strike you with thunder.' The old lady came up and said, 'God, you are blind, why don't you come and strike her with thunder...'"

Lingxi thought of these two people getting together, and her eyes drifted away. These two...

Summon the divine thunder together face to face?

Pei Yu couldn't stop laughing.

Pei Jin handed the shredded meat to Gu Si, who had already put the green onions, ginger and garlic into the pot, and nodded at Lingxi vaguely: "Mischievous."

When Pei Yanning and Uncle Pei came back carrying a bag of steamed buns, the house was filled with laughter. When the two brothers heard the reason, they were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
-
It was several days later that Lingxi and the others returned to the village.

Because of the precautions taken by Uncle Pei and the others, the old lady and Aunt Pei were still a little surprised even though they had expected Lingxi to be pregnant.

Aunt Pei quickly pulled a chair and asked Lingxi to sit down.

The old lady took Lingxi's hand and rubbed it again and again.

Pei Bok Joo stared in surprise: "Why are you running around when you are about to give birth?"
