Dressed as a peasant girl, full of happiness

Chapter 238 I'm used to it

Wei Yuchen said to Liu Chunmei happily: "Sister-in-law, congratulations, you are pregnant."

"Really?" Liu Chunmei couldn't believe it. She had been called a "hen that doesn't lay eggs" for 12 years, and today she was pregnant? Why did she feel that this was so unreal?

"Really! Sister-in-law, do I dare to joke about such a thing?" Wei Yuchen laughed.

"No!" Liu Chunmei quickly denied it. She didn't want this to be just a joke. "Yuchen, so I am really pregnant, I am really pregnant!"

As Liu Chunmei spoke, her eyes turned red and tears began to fall.

Seeing this, Wei Yuchen hurriedly advised: "Sister-in-law, this is a happy event, why are you still crying?"

"Sister-in-law is happy." Liu Chunmei said, wiping away her tears.

Over the years, although Political Commissar Xu never despised her for not having children, she knew what people said about her behind her back. Because of this, she always felt like there was a heavy stone weighing on her heart.

Only she knows how much suffering she endured and how much medicine she took in order to have a child.

It was also in the past two years that Old Xu saw that she felt uncomfortable taking the medicine and felt sorry for her. Besides, there was no effect, so he strictly ordered her not to drink it anymore.

Unexpectedly, after stopping taking the medicine, she became pregnant. This was really unexpected. Unfortunately, Lao Xu was about to go on a mission, and she couldn't hold him back and disrupt his morale at this time.

Otherwise, she would go find him immediately and tell him the good news.

"Chenchen, you don't know how I've been living these years. I can't say I've been crying all the time, but that's pretty much it. I've been drinking bitter medicine soup every day, and it's so bitter that I've even wanted to die.

Even so, I still have to face various pressures to give birth at home.

I was desperate in the past few years and didn't want to have children anymore. How come I suddenly got pregnant?"

"I've recovered. Sister-in-law, you didn't have a serious illness at the time, you just had a cold, and Political Commissar Xu might also have something wrong with his body." Wei Yuchen explained. How could they get pregnant when two people were sick and only one was being treated?

In fact, Wei Yuchen had already discovered the problems between Political Commissar Xu and his wife, but it was difficult for him to explain it clearly. Not to mention in this era, even in the end times, men would still care about these things.

Fortunately, it was not a serious illness and could be solved by paying attention to diet. Otherwise, Political Commissar Xu would never have been able to have children in his life.

"Chenchen, tell me the truth, did you already know this when you asked me to give up water celery?"

As the two were talking, Liu Chunmei suddenly thought of something and asked seriously.

"Of course, otherwise why would I ask you to stop eating for no reason?"

Wei Yuchen never thought of hiding this matter. If Liu Chunmei hadn't found out, she wouldn't have said it on her own initiative. If Liu Chunmei had found out, she wouldn't have denied it.

Liu Chunmei especially likes steamed dishes and often asks Wei Yuchen to go digging wild vegetables with her.

Once, Liu Chunmei pointed to a wild vegetable and told Wei Yuchen: "This is water celery. Old Xu likes it very much. When he was a child, his family was poor and he often ate it to satisfy his hunger. Later, he had trouble defecating one time, and after eating this vegetable, he was able to defecate. From then on, he liked it even more. He also likes to squeeze water celery into juice, saying that it feels cool after drinking it, and it makes him feel very happy."

Wei Yuchen told her at the time that water celery is edible and contains many good things. It can supplement the body with necessary nutrients and maintain nutritional balance in the body. It also has a certain effect on constipation. However, drinking too much will affect sexual function and may also increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, causing indigestion, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other adverse reactions. It is recommended that they pay attention to it in the future and avoid eating it if possible.

Wei Yuchen also told her that it is not only water celery, but many other things are the same, too much is as bad as too little, and only the right amount is good. For example, ginseng, if eaten well, can greatly replenish qi and blood, but if eaten poorly, it can be fatal.

After hearing Wei Yuchen's admission, Liu Chunmei continued, "I knew you wouldn't tell me this for no reason. After I got back, I told Lao Xu what you said, and Lao Xu also said that what you said made sense, and asked me to listen to you and learn from you more.

You don't know, ever since you helped Old Liu deliver the baby, Liu Tuan and the others have been secretly saying that you know a lot, and they also said that they would learn from you after Liu Qing finishes her confinement.

Old Xu also saw what happened when Liu Qing gave birth. He said that if it weren’t for you, Liu Qing might have died.”

Liu Chunmei might have been talking a lot because she was pregnant and had no one to share her joy with.

Wei Yuchen understood her mood and did not try to stop her. He just listened quietly, occasionally agreeing with her so that the conversation would not become dull.

"Ever since you said we shouldn't eat too much water celery, our family hasn't eaten it since, especially Old Xu. He's even more strict than I am and doesn't even want to mention it.

Wei Yuchen: "There's no need to be so strict."

But I knew in my heart that Political Commissar Xu might have heard the hidden meaning behind my words.

The reason why Liu Chunmei couldn't get pregnant was that she had certain health problems, but according to her, she was not infertile.

Later, when she heard that Political Commissar Xu liked to eat water celery, she had an idea in her mind. Water celery is cold in nature. Although it tastes good, eating too much can cause certain harm to the body, especially for men, as it can cause weak and dead sperm.

It can be said that all the medicines Liu Chunmei took over the years were wiped out by Political Commissar Xu’s hobby.

Liu Chunmei was also pitiful. She wanted a child so much that she wanted to grab any hope. The same went for Political Commissar Xu.

Of course, what Wei Yuchen didn't say was that the reason Liu Chunmei got pregnant was because of the bowl of brown sugar water and the big bowl of chicken stewed with mushrooms that he gave her. There was diluted spiritual spring water in both.

"Sister Chunmei, this is good news. Why don't you tell Political Commissar Xu and make him happy too?" Wei Yuchen asked.

Liu Chunmei was happy but also a little sad: "Old Xu will be on a mission in two days, and I'm afraid I won't see him for a long time. I don't want him to be worried and thinking about me when he's on a mission."

"Hey, is Political Commissar Xu going on a mission too? Aren't they already there?"

"Old Xu and Little Geng are not together. He will be two days later."

Liu Chunmei was instantly diverted from the topic, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but then she smiled and said:

"But I'm used to it."

Then she thought of Wei Yuchen. Wei Yuchen had only been with the army for less than two months. They would be separated for about a year. He should be more reluctant to leave than she was. So she smiled and comforted him:

"Sister, we are all military wives, and I won't be pretentious with you. The men in our army are good in every way, but there is one bad thing, that is, they have to go on missions frequently. Eight out of ten days are not at home.

Otherwise, people wouldn’t make fun of us military wives, saying that some die of drought, some die of flood.

You may not understand it deeply now, but after a few years, you will understand it. "

As Liu Chunmei spoke, she covered her mouth and smiled secretly.

"But then again, these men are all doing great things. They are defending their country, and they need our support, and we can't hold them back."

"I know." Wei Yuchen replied calmly, "Sister Chunmei, you sound so different. Have you ever been taught a lesson by Political Commissar Xu?"

Wei Yuchen's evil smile made Li Chunmei want to beat her up, but in the end she confessed reluctantly.
