Chapter 79: 79

It was June. The time when winter wheat were ripened. The production teams were busy rushing to harvest the winter wheat.

From June to August, it was the hottest time of the year. No matter how hot it was, one have to work. The production team would head out early to the scorching sun and return late every day. There was no combine harvester these days. One can only rely on their hands and sickle to harvest.

After the winter wheat was harvested, it must be transported to the warehouse as soon as possible. If not, their big half year's work will be wasted if the rain drizzled on it.

After harvesting the winter wheat, they can't stay idle either. Sorghum had to be quickly sow. This way, they can harvest another grain at the end of the year.

Seeing that his family members became tan and thin at a speed visible to the naked eye, Da Qiao was very distressed. Every day, she put jade beads into the water or the food for everyone to eat.

In addition, she had specially used some jade beads for Elder Cousin Sister Qiao Dong He to consume every day. Elder Cousin Sister need to go to town in the next two days to take the primary school graduation exam. She studied until late every day before going to bed as she feared that she will not be able to enter the junior high school.

On June 15th, the county's primary schools welcomed its final exam. The graduating class's entrance exam was also scheduled on this day.

That day, Xue Chuan and Qiao Xiu Zhi got up early in the morning and prepared two eggs for each of their grandchildren as well as a fried dough stick; hoping that they would each get 100 percent on their test.




Fried dough sticks were not filling and oil-intensive. They generally don't make it at home. But Xue Chuan and Qiao Xiu Zhi both wanted to make the children happy and wish them good luck. So they woke up before dawn.

Sure enough, the few children found it novel and were excited at the sight of fried dough sticks. They took a bite. So crunchy and tasty. Very flavorful!

An Ping's mouth was full of fragrant food: "Grandfather, Grandmother, it's really delicious. I think if I eat these things, I will definitely be able to come back with a 100% on the test!"

Qiao Dong Ying exposed him without leaving any face: "Stop bragging. At your level, you want to get 100%!"

An Ping foolishly grinned: "Why can't I? Add up Math and Chinese and it's 100%. I think I will definitely be fine!"

Everyone: "..."

Alright, this was indeed 100%. What's more, he promised to score 40 points in each test before. If he can get 50 points in the test, it can be considered a superb performance.

Da Qiao also liked this thing called fried dough sticks. She softly stated: "Grandfather, Grandmother, I will bring back two 100% this time!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan smilingly looked at the children. Nodding, they responded, "Okay, do your best. Especially Dong He. Treat it as a normal test. Don't be nervous!"

Hearing her grandfather and her grandmother's encouragement, her heart warmed. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she heard her dad speak...

"Dong He, you have to strive for success. It's up to you whether Dad can ride a bicycle this time!"

Qiao Dong He: "..." Immediately, she felt the pressure multiple.

Qiao Xiu Zhi looked at her stupid son and speechlessly rolled her eyes: "From now on, don't talk. Go to the field after eating."

Qiao Zhen Guo innocently asked: "Mom, didn't you ask me to send Dong He and the rest to the exam?"

Why was he disqualified? What's more, forbidden to speak! What did he do wrong?

Qiao Xiu Zhi couldn't bother to respond to this stupid son: "Stop wasting words. Just do as I say!"

If she really got him to send the chilren, Qiao Dong He can probably forget about taking the exam!

...

Those who worked went to the field. Those who needed to go to school went. The house was quiet. Chen Qiao Qiao walked out of the room with a pale face.

Her hands were shaking. Every step she took seemed to be stepping on the clouds. Qiao You Rou watched her come out and barked at her twice. Startled. she kicked all the mung beans that were drying in the yard to the ground.

Wan Chun Ju heard the movement and came out with her little daughter in her arms. She tutted: "Qiao Qiao, what are you doing? You can kick down such a big bamboo sieve. Do you walk without eyes?"

Chen Qiao Qiao didn't respond her. She didn't even give her a glance. She hurriedly swept the mung beans on the ground into the bamboo sieve, stood up, and rushed out of the house.

Wan Chun Ju watched her run as if a ghost was chasing her and pouted: "So suspicious. She must have done something shameful!"

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and kissed her little daughter's face: "Little Yun Yun, do you think Mom is right? Isn't little butt Chen Qiao Qiao acting weird?"

"Pu……"

In response, little Dong Yun spat at her mom with saliva.

Wan Chun Ju wasn't angry. Instead, she laughed even more joyfully: "Oh, my sweetheart is smart. You can understand Mom's words at such a young age. Once you grow up, you will definitely get 100% in the test. More excellent than that bootlicker Da Qiao!"

Chen Qiao Qiao ran out of Qiao's house and listlessly came to the clinic. The moment she saw Tian Jian Ming, her tears almost spilled.

Because there were patients in the clinic, she could only force her tears back.

After finally waiting for the villagers to leave, she choked out with red eyes: "Jian Ming, I have something to tell you!"

Tian Jian Ming lowered his head to pack his things. Without even raising his head to look at her, he replied: "What's the matter? Tell me. However, you should call me Doctor Tian in the future. It will be bad if others hear and misunderstand, right?"

Since he got her, he had lost interest in her. Not to mention, he will get married in two months. He planned to distance himself from Chen Qiao Qiao.

Chen Qiao Qiao sensed his indifference. Her heart felt someone had poured cold water over her head in the cold winter: "Jian...I, I haven't got that for more than a month."

Tian Jian Ming didn't process it yet: "What haven't you got?"

Seeing that he didn't look at her from beginning to end, Chen Qiao Qiao felt more and more aggrieved. Tears flowed down with a swoosh: "That woman's thing, I... I may be pregnant!"

"BANG"!

The enamel tank in Tian Jian Ming's hand fell to the ground. The water splashed out, soaking the uppers part of his shoes.

He finally raised his head to look at her. His eyes widened as if he had encountered a ghost: "What did you just say? Comrade Chen, this kind of thing can't be used as a joke!"

Chen Qiao Qiao clenched her hands into fists: "I'm not kidding. I haven't got that for a month and a half!"

Her menstruation had always been quite accurate. This time, since the first day of delay, she felt very uneasy. She always hoped that this delay would only be due to a physical problem. But now it was half a month late. She can't continue to deceive herself!

Tian Jian Ming's expression finally changed: "You... Are you sure this baby is mine?"

They had only been in bed three or four times. He had carefully done it out every time. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be pregnant.

"SLAP!"

Chen Qiao Qiao slapped him with a flushed face: "Tian Jian Ming, how can you say such thing to hurt my heart?"

He knew that Qiao Zhen Min hadn't come back during this period of time. So when he said this, he was clearly doubting her innocence!

A flash of anger flashed in Tian Jian Ming's eyes. But he quickly returned to gentle Doctor Tian of the past: "Qiao Qiao, I'm not doubting you. I'm just worried that you made a mistake. After all, when we did that thing, I always didn't……"

The following words were too explicit. Tian Jian Ming didn't say it. Both of them knew it well.

When Chen Qiao Qiao heard him say this, she felt a little better: "Can't be wrong. My monthly thing has always been on time. But now it's been late for half a month. I must be pregnant!"

Tian Jian Ming inwardly cursed. Seeing no one outside, he grabbed her hand and coaxed, "Qiao Qiao, you know I really want to marry you. But it's a pity we met too late. If we got together, my fiancee's side and Qiao Family won't let us go. Everyone's spit will drown us. So... this child mustn't be born!"

Chen Qiao Qiao felt that her heart was about to be broken. She was so looking forward to being able to conceive another child. But now she was pregnant but cannot give birth!

She cried and trembled.

While comforting her, Tian Jian Ming paid attention to the movement outside: "Qiao Qiao, if you really can't bear this child, I have a good idea."

Chen Qiao Qiao raised her head and said with red eyes, "What?"

Tian Jian Ming pushed his glasses, "Didn't you always want to have another child with your husband? You've only been pregnant for more than a month. Immediately, pack up and find your man. When you are about to give birth, create an accident and pretend that it's a premature birth."

Chen Qiao Qiao's heart rapidly thumped: "This... isn't good?"

Tian Jian Ming spoke: "Didn't you say that your man isn't good that aspect? With his ability, you may not be able to conceive another child in this life. Now that this baby is here, isn't it God's will?"

Thinking of letting other men raise a son for him, Tian Jian Ming suddenly felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

Chen Qiao Qiao bit her lower lip as she internally struggled.

Tian Jian Ming's words hit the point she was most worried about.

After Qiao Zhen Min was injured there, their husband and wife's life wasn't very exciting. In addition, the two of them separate more than being together. She was very worried that she wouldn't be able to give birth to a son in her life!

If Qiao Zhen Min never gets better, then this child is likely to be her only hope!

Tian Jian Ming saw that her heart was moved and he pushed on: "Time waits for no one. You have to make a decision quickly. Otherwise it will be difficult to do it when your belly grows!"

Chen Qiao Qiao looked up at him. When she was about to speak, there was a voice outside. The two quickly separated.

Because of the hot weather, many people fell ill from heat stroke. The number of people who came to the health center to see a doctor was many times higher than before. Chen Qiao Qiao was in a trance. She either took the wrong medicine or hurt the villagers. The villagers were very dissatisfied with this.

Still, Tian Jian Ming never scolded her from beginning to end. After the patients left, he patiently comforted her. This made her love Tian Jian Ming again.

If she could give birth to Tian Jian Ming and her child, it would be considered as their love product. So when the setting sun dyed the whole sky red, she finally made up her mind...

She was going to give birth to this baby!

...

Back at Qiao's old house, white smoke was already puffing out of the chimney. Bursts of fragrance wafted out of the stove.

In order to reward those who went to the field and nourish the children, Lin Hui came to the old home to cook.

The food made by Wan Chun Ju was too unpalatable. No one in the family wanted to eat the food she made.

Lin Hui spread out a large portion of egg pancakes, which were made from sweet potato flour and eggs. It was eaten together with pickled veg. It was novel and delicious. Everyone liked it very much.



The most popular one was braised pork with preserved veg. The most important part in making braised pork with preserved veg was flavor soaking in. If the flavor didn't penetrate through, it would taste no different from ordinary meat.

In order to make the meat taste good, Lin Hui steamed the meat for a few hours in advance. When everyone came back, she steamed the meat again. The taste was perfect.

Excluding Xue Chuan, Lin Hui's cooking skill was the best in the family. This braised pork belly with preserved vegetables was shiny and red. Not like some people's black end product. The pork was soft and fragrant. Oily but not greasy. The preserved veg was sweet and chewy. When eaten together, the taste was so fragrant that people can't wait to eat the whole bowl.

"It's so delicious! Second Aunt, I really admire your cooking skills!" An Ping smacked his lips while eating.

Lin Hui smiled with curved eyes: "Eat more if you like it."

"I will. You don't have to worry. I will definitely not be polite!" An Ping responded.

Seeing him like this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Da Qiao gave her mom a piece of meat and urged, "Mom, eat more so that you won't starve little brothers!"

Lin Hui laughed even more deeply and clipped her a piece of meat, "Okay. You eat more too. How's your exam today?"

Da Qiao softly answered, "I think it's quite simple."

She could do all the questions on the test paper. After she was done, she checked it twice. After all tha, she was still the first person to submit the test paper. If nothing else happen, she should get two 100% this time.

Hearing this, An Ping almost burst into tears.

This was so heartbreaking for a study scum!

When Qiao Zhen Guo heard this, he quickly asked his eldest daughter, "Dong He, how about you? Do you think it's easy too?"

Qiao Dong He: "...Dad, I don't think it's easy. But I did it all."

Younger Sister Da Qiao's brain was so good that she can learn anything at a glance and never forget it. While, she can't. She had to read the same article many times to remember it.

The hard work pays off. Everyone said that the questions in this exam were very difficult. Many people didn't complete them, while she did. She felt that she didn't be too bad in the test.

Qiao Zhen Guo was relieved: "It's great that you did it all. As long as you can get into junior high school, Dad will be able to ride a bicycle!"

Qiao Dong He: "..." It can't be that her dad cared about her for the bicycle?

Everyone was chatting and laughing. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Only Chen Qiao Qiao sat alone, like an outsider.

After dinner, everyone enjoyed the cool air in the yard.

After Chen Qiao Qiao washed the dishes, she walked over clenching the corner of her clothes and spoke, "Dad, Mom, Zhen Min hasn't come back for almost two months. I want to visit him in the county."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was quiet. Their eyes fell on her.

Qiao Xiu Zhi glanced at her and said, "What about the work in the clinic? There are so many people who are sick recently. Can you walk away?"

Chen Qiao Qiao groaned in her heart. Squeezing out a smile, she replied, "I told Doctor Tian about this. Doctor Tian said that he can handle it all by himself."

Wan Chun Ju pouted and commented, "If he can handle it all by himself, why did he hire you before?"

Chen Qiao Qiao always felt that Wan Chun Ju's words had hidden meaning. She was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out: "Actually, it's not about handling it. But I insisted on asking for leave. He couldn't refuse, so he agreed."

Wan Chun Ju responded with a "tsk": "So, Doctor Tian is really kind to you."

Chen Qiao Qiao's face immediately flushed: "Eldest Sister-in-law, what do you mean by saying this? Are you trying to say that I have a shameful relationship with Doctor Tian? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll fight with you!"

Her voice was high-pitched and sharp, like the sound of fingernails scratching against the glass. Very harsh to the ear.

But what was even more strange was her attitude. Although Wan Chun Ju's words just now were a bit inappropriate, she wouldn't make a dig with her IQ and personality. If she really suspect she have a relationship with Doctor Tian, ​​she would definitely point it out directly.

Little Dong Yun woke up with a fright and wailed out with a "waa". Her face flushed from crying.

Wan Chun Ju hurriedly coaxed her little daughter.

Once little Dong Yun was coaxed, she raised her head and retorted, "Are you seeking death? Don't you know loud noise can scare my little Yun Yun? Also, when did I say you had an affair with Doctor Tian? Could it be that you have done something shameful and have a guilty conscience?"

Wan Chun Ju treasured her little daughter, little Dong Yun now. Not only because she wanted to train her to become the next Da Qiao, but also because little daughter looked too much like her.

Little Dong Yun's appearance seem to be from the same mold as hers. The more she looked at her, the more beautiful she looked and the more she loved her. Gradually she really put her daughter in her heart.

People were like this. Once they put a lot of energy and affection into a person or thing, the more invested they were. As well, the less they can let go.

Chen Qiao Qiao was so pissed that she bit her lower lip tightly. Her eyes reddened: "Eldest Sister-in-law, if you keep talking nonsense, I...I'll..."

Wan Chun Ju snorted coldly from her nostrils: "What will you do? Do you want to berate or fight? Just say it. This lady have never been afraid!"

"All you shut up!" Qiao Xiu Zhi coldly hollered, "If you want to fight, go out. You don't have to come back after you finish!"

Wan Chun Ju shrank her neck and didn't dare to speak any more. She secretly sent Chen Qiao Qiao a grudgeful gaze.

Chen Qiao Qiao felt aggrieved!

She felt that her mother-in-law was biased. It was obviously Wan Chun Ju who started it. And she got scolded along with her. She really couldn't stay in this house!

Qiao Xiu Zhi glanced at her youngest daughter-in-law, "If you want to go, then go. It's just that old Fifth's work often involves business trips. You'd better make a phone call before you go. If he's not in the county city, you're not going there for nothing, no?"

When Chen Qiao Qiao heard this, it seemed as if someone had knocked her head hard. She almost fell to the ground.

Why hadn't she thought of this before?

If Qiao Zhen Min wasn't in the county city, what should she do?

Her belly can't wait too long!

At this moment, Da Qiao brewed a pot of flower tea she made with roses and came over. Qiao Dong He was behind her, holding a plate of garlic-flavored green beans.

All the roses and jasmines she got from old Mister Shen had bloomed. She picked all the flower buds, washed them, soaked them in salt water for half an hour, and then took them out to dry. They were left under the sun for four to five days. Only then, one can get rose tea and jasmine tea.

This method was taught to her by old Mister Shen before. It can preserve the flowers well.

She felt this method was very good. She watered these flowers with jade bead water every day. If they were used to make tea, it should be good for the body. She planned to send a few jars of it to Godmother and the others later.

Seeing this, Lin Hui smiled softly: "Da Qiao is really become more and more capable. Will definitely be a good elder sister in the future!"

When Da Qiao heard this, her little face flushed with joy. Her little proud expression on her face was very cute.

Qiao Dong He, who was behind, followed up and said, "Younger Sister Da Qiao is really amazing now. She made this plate of garlic-flavored green beans. It's so fragrant!"

These green beans were previously planted in Qiao Family's private plot. After harvesting, the plot was all planted with Chinese herbal medicine.

These green beans were also watered with jade bead water. Not to mention that the beans were at its max size, they tasted fragrant and sweet. Many times better than other people's.

An Ping smelled it and almost drooled. He quickly grabbed a small handful and threw it into his mouth: "It's really delicious! Younger Sister Da Qiao, can you make me some more later?"

As soon as his voice fell, Da Qiao heard a retching voice behind her before she could answer.

Everyone looked up and saw Chen Qiao Qiao squatting on the ground. Her face turning white from retching.

Everyone was eating, but she was retching by the side. This was a bit overboard!

Chen Qiao Qiao was afraid that everyone would see something. So she stood up and explained, "I'm sorry. I'm a little uncomfortable... Yuck..."

Before she could finish speaking, she ran into the room with her mouth covered. The sound of retching kept coming from the room.

Wan Chun Ju curled her lips and remarked, "With the way she retches, clueless people would think she's pregnant. Hmph, I think she's deliberately disgusting everyone!"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence around.

Seeing everyone staring at her, Wan Chun Ju stuttered in fright: "Why are you all looking at me like this? I'm not wrong. She's deliberately disgusting everyone. After all, she's not pregnant. Why else would she be retching?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi frowned and didn't speak. When Chen Qiao Qiao was going to the production team office to make a call the next day, she followed.

Chen Qiao Qiao was displeased that her mother-in-law wanted to go with her to make a call, but she couldn't refuse.

She could only pray that Qiao Zhen Min was in the transport team. Her luck wasn't very good. The person on the other end of the phone told her that Qiao Zhen Min had left a few days ago and wouldn't return until a month later.

It was like she fell into an ice cellar. The hand holding the phone trembled.

Qiao Xiu Zhi's sharp eyes observed her and spoke, "Is old fifth in the transport team?"

Chen Qiao Qiao heard her voice reply: "Yes, he agreed. Told me to go today."

Qiao Xiu Zhi raised her eyebrows and uttered, "Really? Give me the phone. I have something to tell old Fifth."

Chen Qiao Qiao tightly grasped the phone without any intention to let go. Her whole body trembled like a sieve shaking.

Seeing her like this, how could Qiao Xiu Zhi not understand what's going on: "Give me the phone!"

Chen Qiao Qiao's face was pale. As if the blood from her whole body had been taken away. She suddenly rolled her eyes and fainted.

The people in the office yelled out: "How come she faint out of the blue? Quickly take her to the health clinic."

Qiao Xiu Zhi refused. Instead, she sent her to the town hospital.

Chen Qiao Qiao woke up to find that she was in the town's hospital. Her mother-in-law was sitting on the chair by her bed with a frigid stare.

Qiao Xiu Zhi coldly spoke, "The doctor said you are pregnant for a month and a half. Whose child is it?"

Chen Qiao Qiao trembled again: "Mom, I... I know I'm wrong. Please don't tell Zhen Min, okay?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi shook off the grasping hand: "I have asked the transport team to contact old Fifth and tell him come back no matter what."
