Chapter 267 Digging Wild Vegetables
After walking around outside and seeing that it was almost noon, Huo Haocheng did not return to the group and rode his bike directly back home.
When he got home, the latch of the main room had been opened, but the door was still ajar. He pushed the door open gently and saw that there was no one there. He went into the bedroom and saw that his wife was still sleeping. He did not disturb her and went into the kitchen to start cooking. He took out a chicken and some mushrooms, threw them into the pot, and began to stew them. Then he grabbed a handful of vegetables that had been dried before the New Year, soaked them in warm water, and stir-fried them.
After he had prepared everything, Ruan Ruan woke up. Hearing the sound coming from the kitchen, he took the watch on the bedside table and looked at it. It was only 11 o'clock. Did he come back so early today? Or did he just ask for leave and come back again? No matter which one it was, he was still at home when he woke up. This feeling was good.
I slept for too long, so I stretched and then slowly ran up, put on my clothes, and went to the kitchen. Watching Huo Haocheng cooking, I felt that he was a model man!
"Wife, you're awake. Are you hungry? Just wait a minute, it will be ready soon." Seeing his wife leaning against the door and looking at him, Huo Haocheng felt really satisfied at this moment, especially since his wife was pregnant with his baby.
"I'm not hungry yet, but why did you come back so early today? Did you ask for leave?"
If he really asked for leave because she was pregnant, she would be happy because he was in China, but she really felt that it was unnecessary. She had seen many pregnant women. Not to mention those far away, her sister-in-law Qian Ling and Dr. Jiang, didn't they also work after they got pregnant? And their work was much more tiring than hers. Besides, she stayed at home every day and only went out once in a while when she needed to. He really didn't need to be so nervous.
Of course, she was more worried about him. If he continued to be in this state, it would be fine in the army, but if they were needed to go on a mission, his current state would be irresponsible to himself and his comrades.
"No, wife, I didn't ask for leave. I just went out to the factory to look for Zheng Xuyang today, then went to the commander's office to talk to him about something, called home, and then when I saw that it was almost time, I came back directly and didn't go to the regiment. I thought it wouldn't be too late to go after I came back and had dinner first."
He admitted that he was a little too nervous in the morning, but after half a day, he was quite calm, so he couldn't ask for leave just because his wife found out she was pregnant. If his wife was not in good condition now, that would be another matter, but his wife was standing in front of him now. As the leader of the independent regiment, he had to take the lead and not become a negative example. He couldn't let this incident ruin the good impression his wife had accumulated.
Hearing him say that, I felt relieved. Fortunately, I was still able to distinguish the important from the unimportant.
Knowing that she had misunderstood him just now, Ruanruan immediately stepped forward and hugged him from behind, "Brother, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
"No, you don't have to apologize to me. I know you are doing this for my own good, so don't worry, sister. I know the severity of the situation."
During the meal, Huo Haocheng told her that he would go to his aunt in the afternoon to ask about precautions for pregnant women, and might be back a little late.
Ruanruan said that with a doctor of her age around, he didn't need to ask anyone else. Then, she began to explain to him the precautions for pregnant women. The first point was to eat healthily and ensure a balanced nutrition for pregnant women. The second point was to have enough sleep time. The third point was that pregnant women's emotions should be stable and they should not be nervous, anxious, or extremely happy or sad. Finally, and most importantly, they should not fall or get bumped and should exercise appropriately every day.
Besides, this also depends on the physical condition of the pregnant woman. Some people are in good health, so they just need to pay proper attention and don’t need to worry too much. Some people are weak or their bodies are not suitable for pregnancy. If the woman is found to be pregnant and wants to give birth to the baby, she needs to be extra careful. In serious cases, she needs to stay in bed and recuperate.
Huo Haocheng listened carefully to every word that Ruanruan said. Based on what she just said, he also came to the conclusion that his wife is in good health now. As long as she has adequate nutrition, is not bumped or bruised, and keeps a good mood at all times, she will be fine.
"Okay, since you said so, I'm relieved. But when you're alone at home, you should be more careful and don't get hurt. And grandma said that pregnant women sometimes get upset. If you're in a bad mood, you can tell me, or you can hit me or scold me. Just do whatever makes you feel good, and don't worry about me."
Thinking of what grandma said, and when he called his wife to get up for breakfast in the morning, he could clearly feel that she was in an inexplicably bad mood. This must be what grandma said.
It was Ruanruan who didn't turn on his mind reading at this time. If she had heard his inner thoughts at this moment, she would definitely have spit out chicken soup for the soul at him. In the morning, it was obviously because he didn't let her sleep well that she was angry.
Haha, what a man, he is really good at making excuses.
"I'm still in my early twenties, and my mood is pretty stable. Don't worry too much. You're still the same as usual. And, you see, I don't go out much, so don't worry."
She didn't want to change her lifestyle or behavior habits just because she got pregnant.
In her opinion, it was just a baby, and it was fine to be the same as usual. Sometimes being too cautious was not a good thing.
"...Okay, got it. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me."
Seeing that she insisted, he didn't say anything else, but secretly decided to come back early every day to accompany her.
The two finally reached a consensus on this matter, so after lunch, Huo Haocheng accompanied her to rest under the eaves for a while before returning to the group.
After they left, Ruanruan looked at the weather. The sun was shining brightly, which was really nice. Then she looked at the edge of the yard. In the corners where there were no stones, she saw a lot of green grass growing.
Now is the time when wild vegetables grow, and if she doesn't dig them, it would be too unfair to the weather. After thinking about it, she decided to follow her heart.
I got up, changed my clothes, took my equipment, and went out with a backpack.
She walked down the mountain and saw from afar several sisters-in-law who had the same idea as her, so when she saw them all going to the left side of the river, she immediately turned her toes and went to the right.
As soon as we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we saw traces of digging, but judging from the traces, some time has passed and new wild vegetables have already grown.
She put down the backpack, took out a small shovel, and shoveled into the ground. All the soil and roots were picked up. She shoveled with one hand and picked up with the other, singing a song all the time: "In the small garden, dig and dig, plant small seeds, and make small flowers..." In less than an hour, she was almost lying on the mountain. When she saw that the backpack was full, she stopped her movements and looked around. There was still a lot, but today's exercise had reached the standard. If she continued to exercise, it would be hard to say when Huo Haocheng came back. So she packed up her things and decided to go back first and come back tomorrow.
