Chapter 173: Frightened, I feel pain...

It's time to collect the things in the valley. As usual, Uncle Pei would discuss with Pei Yanning, Gu Si and others in advance about what to do with those things.

But now...

Lingxi is like that!

Second Uncle Pei made the decision right away. He, Pei Jin, Pei Yu and the others collected the things in the valley, including the chestnuts, persimmons, pomegranates and other orchards in the valley, as well as the fruits, vegetables and grains they grew.

That night, three ox carts pulled by mules arrived at the gate of the machinery factory and stopped in the shade.

Pei Jin went to call the door.

As it happened, Zeng Jiawang was on duty tonight. When he saw Pei Jin, he immediately sent someone to notify Pei Yanning.

Pei Jin would come here every two or three days at most. There were many people in the factory who looked familiar to Pei Jin, especially those living on the first floor, and Zeng Jiawang was one of them.

After he and the others had gone far away, he quickly opened the door.

"There's no one else at the moment, come in first and talk."

Looking from afar, with melons and vegetables above and sacks below, Zeng Jiawang felt jealous. Why didn't anyone from his hometown send him food?

Pei Jin's eyes flashed, knowing that this was a way for them to sneak in, so he smiled and handed the basket on his back to him: "The harvest in the village is good this year, uncle, take it back and try some fresh food."

There is a basket of cucumbers, turnips, winter melons, pumpkins, and spinach...

There is more than enough at home to eat, but it is really rare in the city.

Zeng Jiawang was not polite. How could others lack this?

The whole country is having a bumper harvest, and it's all been reported. Every household has more rice, flour and fine grains than they can finish eating. Those of them who are paid a fixed salary to supply grain must be so envious. They are much better off than them.

Zeng Jiawang and Pei Jin were greeting each other, but Pei Jin couldn't tell the truth directly, so she just laughed it off. Zeng Jiawang's envy and yearning almost overflowed from his mouth.

Pei Yanning who came in a hurry: "..."

He didn't exchange pleasantries in front of outsiders. He just said hello to Zeng Jiawang and led his people into the factory.

Pei Jin often came here to know whether the village had a good harvest or not, but seeing these cars...

He was also surprised, "Why are there so many?"

Uncle Pei took a tender cucumber and crunched it.

"I heard that you got a house here. We'll send some to you while we're still busy."

There were all kinds of melons and vegetables, and Lao Si didn’t know how they were grown, but they were everywhere in the valley.

You can’t finish it. You can’t finish it at all.

"You can see how to prepare these vegetables and melons. You can make pickles out of them and give them as gifts.

I'll bring you a few more trucks later."

It would be a waste to keep it at home, so I would sell it...

They are reluctant to sell the grains that can be stored for a long time, and the melons and vegetables that cannot be kept for a long time are only a few cents per pound, and a cartload of them can only fetch a few dollars, which is not enough to pay for the effort of shouting.

This time, Uncle Pei and his team specially picked a few sacks of tender corn and tender soybeans.

Eat the tender ones first, and you can dry the leftovers and continue eating them.

Of course, sending gifts is one thing, but more importantly, Uncle Pei and Uncle Pei are really worried about Lingxi.

Pei Yanning nodded, and took his men to drive the cart and took a detour through a secluded road to the newly allocated small bungalow. They unloaded the grain into the house and locked it.

He was thinking about asking Gu Si to come over later, so that he could put away the things that were easy to spoil.

Uncle Pei and the others finally saw Lingxi.

Lingxi was sleeping soundly at this time and no one disturbed her, but when Uncle Pei saw the belly, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Lingxi has lost weight again!

What a suffering this is!
But there was nothing he could do.

Gu Si left Pei Yanning and his brothers to talk while he and Pei Jin went to cook. Even if they had to rush back, they would definitely have a meal at home. In addition to worrying about Lingxi, the three brothers talked about food.

There has been a lot of news about the bumper harvest in newspapers and on the radio lately. Seeing that a storm is about to come, the three brothers have to make some plans.

When Uncle Pei and his friends returned home, the old lady was still waiting for them.

Uncle Pei's mind was now full of Lingxi, who was not sleeping soundly. His belly was as big as a hill, and he was worried so much that he felt like his hair was going to fall out with worry.

He saw that the old lady seemed unhappy because he didn't take her with him when he went to the city, and he felt helpless.

"What can you do if you go with her? Lingxi is more than seven months pregnant now, and her belly is so big, and there is more than one. When Pei Jin and I went there, she was still asleep. Pei Jin ran back and forth so many times, but she didn't talk to Lingxi much. She was either sleeping or feeling sleepy."

The old lady now feels a little displeased with Uncle Pei.

But when she heard Uncle Pei's words, the old lady looked a little dazed, and the worry and guilt in her eyes were about to overflow.

"Is it really that serious?"

"Why would I fool you?"

Uncle Pei sighed: "The fourth child dares not leave Lingxi's side for a moment now. He can't sleep all night long. The youngest child is the same..."

Uncle Pei stopped talking and laughed.

"Don't worry, Lingxi will be fine with them taking care of her. You should take good care of yourself. I have invited the most famous doctor in our area to your home for you. Please listen to the doctor's advice and don't make me worry any more."

Otherwise he would be a miracle doctor!

I don’t know how she was cured, but the old lady’s suspicious nature is gone now.

Moreover, I heard that those who used to have blurred vision and double vision are feeling much better recently.

The spirit is completely different.

The old lady was stubborn and slapped Uncle Pei on the face: "Does this old lady need you unfilial sons to take care of her?"

She turned around and walked back to the house, the sky behind her was dark and gloomy.

Uncle Pei looked at the sky and looked at Pei Jin: "Isn't it going to rain?"

Pei Jin shook her head: "I haven't heard of it. There's still grain drying in the drying yard! If it rained, the elders in our village would have been shouting long ago."

They are all good at predicting the weather.
-
Lingxi had a dream for the first time in her life.

She dreamed of the old lady. In her dream, the old lady was smiling and making delicious food for her. But the next moment, the old lady's image suddenly changed. Her whole body was covered with a layer of darkness. She suddenly pounced on her viciously.

Lingxi shuddered, woke up from her dream, and sat up suddenly.

however--

Her abdomen was suddenly squeezed violently, causing her to feel a sharp pain. Her eyes widened and she held her stomach.

"Fourth brother, Dad..."

It's not even eleven o'clock at night, but Gu Si and Pei Yanning are still awake.

Two people were discussing in low voices in the small study room outside the balcony about how the rice stored at home was not enough and where to get some rice. All the welfare tickets and food coupons issued by the factory must be exchanged for physical goods as soon as possible.

Both of them are people who think ten steps ahead before they take one step. Recently, newspapers and radio broadcasts have been full of news about the bumper harvest, and both of them are very clear about the problems they will face next.

but--

Even though they were discussing something, their mental strength was always on Lingxi.

Because of this sudden change, I was so shocked that I stood up and rushed over. I didn't even care about bumping into the tables and chairs. I was so scared that my heart forgot to keep beating.

Lingxi blinked, and seeing them rushing in, she forced a smile and stretched out her hand.

Gu Si subconsciously supported her.

"What's wrong? Is it painful, or are they being naughty again?"

"I, it hurts..."
