Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs

Chapter 517: Strong mouth

Though Zhou Si Ni didn’t have a match herself, she was familiar with the matter of attending postnatal confinement.

Zhou Da Ni’s postnatal confinement was attended to by her in the past and she had did a wonderful job. What’s more, they were sisters. Nowadays, family planning had been implemented. The number of children that can be born was limited. If there weren’t many births, then this will be the only time in a lifetime.

Then she must help.

"Are you worried that Second Brother-in-law can’t afford a ring? Just keep it." Zhou Xuan jollily said.

Zhou Er Ni, who knew how much her husband had saved, just smiled.

However, there was something different about Zhou Er Ni’s belly.

She was pregnant on the two days of her wedding night. So April, May, June, and July. After July, her belly began to grow.

One day, one look.

Zhou Er Ni had no experience. Neither did Wang Yuan. They thought it was normal. Once entered August, Zhou Er Ni’s bump was very apparent.

When they came to that side to eat, Zhou Xiao Mei looked at it and said in amazement, "How is your belly so big so quick?"

"Fourth Aunt said that Er Ni is nurturing the babies rather than gaining flesh. All the nutrition is absorbed by the little one inside." Wang Yuan smilingly responded.

"That’s not right. It’s only four months. This bump looks almost five months. Five months may not be as big as you." Zhou Xiao Mei remarked.

She had given four births. Her experience can be described as veteran. According to her eyes, Zhou Er Ni’s belly was very big.

"It’s still alright?" Zhou Er Ni looked at her stomach and said.

Because it was summer and was hot, she wore less as she was afraid of heat due to her pregnancy. This made her bump obvious.

When Mother Zhou came back from feeding the chicken, Zhou Xiao Mei called out to her: "Mother, come and see Er Ni’s belly. Why is it so big so fast?"

"It’s been more than four months. It’s normal." Mother Zhou said as she examined.

"This is growing a bit too fast ah." Zhou Xiao Mei said. Looking at Zhou Er Ni, she asked: "How’s your appetite?"

"Pretty good appetite." Zhou Er Ni depressingly sighed. This appetite was really a big problem. Can take in a lot.

Less than an hour and a half after eating a meal, she was hungry again. She ate two apples a day and other fruits as well. But it couldn’t make a dent.

So from time to time, she had to go to Zhou Xuan’s side and order something to eat.

Or nibble on a corn on the cob or eating mantou with a plate of fried pork with mushrooms over there. In short, she can really eat.

Wang Yuan said: "No problem, right?"

"No problem. Don’t listen to your youngest aunt. Surprise at little things. She had given birth to four." Mother Zhou responded.

"Honestly, her appetite is huge. I have to get up in the middle of the night to get something to eat." Wang Yuan commented.

Starting this month, his wife would wake up hungry in the middle of the night. Then he got up and cooked an egg noodle for her to eat. She could eat it very heartily.

Although she ate so much, she didn’t grow much flesh. It was all absorb into her belly.

"It’s okay now. You can eat when you are hungry. It was not easy back when we were pregnant. When I was pregnant with Eldest, our family was so poor and I can’t withstand the hunger. Old man had to go hunt a pheasant back in the middle of the night and only then something was cooked for me," Mother Zhou recounted.

Those days were really not easy. Old man hadn’t had it easy either. Old man was good to her though. He would always find food for her when she was pregnant. When he was young and was working as a hired help. he couldn’t bear to eat the pancake he received. He would bring it back to her to eat.

"Just say what you want to eat. Grandmother will cook it for you here. You caught up to the good time." Mother Zhou said.

"Then have cornmeal pancake tonight?" Zhou Er Ni suggested.

"That’s not difficult" Mother Zhou responded.

But she didn’t need to move her hands. Zhou Xiao Mei made it. The cornmeal pancake were tasty.

Not only cornmeal pancake, but also tomato and egg soup, braised pork ribs, etc.. All were good dishes.

"When you go back, take some tomatoes back to eat. If you are hungry in the middle of the night, you can also make a tomato and egg soup to eat." Zhou Xiao Mei said.

"Okay." Wang Yuan responded and then took a small basket of tomatoes back.

Zhou Xuan had personally experienced Zhou Er Ni’s big appetite. How would make another extra meal for her.

Zhou San Ni’s belly was not too small. Because her fourth uncle and fourth aunt weren’t here, she came over here to take a look.

She came here by herself. Li Ai Guo got to watch the shop. It was fine to go by herself. Although Zhou San Ni’s pregnancy took a bit of twists and turns, she felt that she was in good health.

"Sister San Ni, are you hungry? I’ll get you something to eat." Zhou Xuan said upon her arrival.

Aunt Ma was amused: "Young Xuan, if this goes on, your wife will be blessed in the future."

Zhou Xuan smiled: "That’s a must. Our old Zhou family has a tradition of loving our wives."

Zhou San Ni smiled and said: "I was still a little worried. But now, it seems that I had been worrying too much." Er Wa took good care of the shop.

"What problem could there be? Last year Third managed it for the whole summer vacation by himself." Zhou Xuan replied.

Then he scooped a bowl of dumplings for Zhou San Ni. It was shepherd’s purse dumplings. He spoke: "Sister San Ni, eat first."

"I have eaten before coming. No need to give it to me." Zhou San Ni hurriedly said.

"You have a big belly now, you must get hungry fast. Sister Er Ni’s belly is smaller than you and she have to come over and eat two or three times a day. I heard that my second brother-in-law has to get up in the middle of the night and cook a large bowl of noodles for her." Zhou Xuan mentioned.

Zhou Er Ni was surprised: "Sister Er Ni’s month is still small, right?" Her’s wasn’t small. It had been more than seven months and the bump was a little big. But Er Ni hadn’t reach four months for long, right?

She had a good appetite at that time, but she wasn’t too hungry. It was only recently that she couldn’t help but wake up in the middle of the night to look for food.

"More than four months, but she can eat a lot." Zhou Xuan merrily said.

Zhou San Ni sat there. After eating her dumplings, she came to the clothing store to see Zhou Er Ni.

She had been here before and knew the location. Because it was a bit far from the dry good shop, she hadn’t drop by for a while.

Zhou Er Ni saw how much plumper Zhou San Ni became and smiled: "San Ni, I will not be able to recognize you later."

Zhou San Ni’s attention was attracted by her stomach: "You’re only four months or so along, why is your bump so obvious?"

"Grandmother said every woman is different. Some bumps become apparent quickly, and some are late." Zhou Er Ni responded.

Zhou San Ni nodded: "I heard from Er Wa that you have a particularly good appetite. So why aren’t you fatter? I have gained some degree of weight. I have to buy new clothes. Quite a cost.

Zhou Er Ni said: "I do. This little one absorbed it all."

As Zhou Er Ni spoke, she went to wash two apples. One for her self and one for Zhou San Ni: "Have you eaten more apples?"

"Yes. I eat it every day." Zhou San Ni nibbled on the apple and responded, "I just ate a bowl of dumplings at Er Wa’s side."

The two sisters took a look at each other’s stomachs and then both felt helpless. Their mouths were strong.
