Chapter 73 reproduction

Because of the large number of people, Zhao Li divided two tables to eat, the adults sat at the round table with high legs, and the children sat at the low square table, and the dishes were also divided into two portions.

There are two dishes per person. The round table is fine. The table is big enough to fit a few more dishes, but on the children’s table, the plates can only be placed on top of each other. But children, as long as they have food, no one cares about that.

Before moving the chopsticks, Liu Dan first greeted everyone to toast Zhao Li and his wife with a glass of wine, one for them to move to a new house, and the other for them to provide a venue for everyone to have dinner, three competition prizes carefully prepared by Zhao Li.

Everyone laughed and got up to make a toast.

Although everyone couldn’t help digging their toes when receiving the award, the relationship between men and children has indeed drawn a lot.

No, at the end of the first round of toasting, Zong Shao, Zhou Jianhai and Qi Tao grabbed Lao Zhang and Xing Dong who were booing at the time and started drinking.

The men drink and the women focus on tasting each other’s dishes.

Except for Zhao Li, who has been eating in the cafeteria for a long time, the others have to cook basically every day, and their cooking skills are not bad, but to say the best, it has to be Liu Dan.

It’s just that the two dishes she fried, spicy chicken and mapo tofu, are both heavily spicy dishes. Deng Xiangyun and Chen Bamei, two people who don’t eat spicy food often, can’t stand it. But everyone else at the dinner table thought it tasted good, especially the Mapo tofu, which was delicious.

Among the remaining dishes, the most popular is Deng Xiangyun’s raw pickles.

Making raw marinade was the idea given by Lin Wei. She made it herself under the guidance of Deng Xiangyun, and it tasted good. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I wanted to try what she made.

Deng Xiangyun was a little hesitant at first, afraid that everyone would not accept it, but Liu Dan and Yang Yi were very happy to try new dishes. Although Yang Yi was a little scared, she said that she could eat other dishes, so the matter was settled.

Deng Xiangyun’s raw pickles are indeed better than those made by Lin Wei. Although Lin Wei also followed the steps she said, in fact, when it comes to the amount of ingredients, she herself can’t tell, it’s all based on feeling , can only give an approximate number, so the difference comes out.

Except for Yang Yi who didn’t eat much at the round table, everyone else put chopsticks on this dish. As for the square table, because there was wine in the raw marinade, they didn’t serve it. They only prepared a dish of steamed shrimp with garlic, which quickly ran out.

Lin Wei’s stew was also good. Except for Lao Zhang and Xing Dong, everyone drank more than two bowls.

Lao Zhang and Xing Dong drank less, not because they didn’t like chicken soup, but after a round of toasting, the two of them were toasted twice by the other three in turn, their stomachs were full of wine, and they couldn’t drink that much water. .

After two laps, the others didn’t catch them to drink, but Xing Dong’s wine was not very good. When he was drunk, he liked to drink with others. It happened that the two of them were sitting together, so before the meal was finished, the two of them lay down. Now, one was carried into the master bedroom, and the other went to Zhao Li’s son’s room to lie down.

After the two of them got down on the ground, the others didn’t stop, and by the end of the meal, they all endured.

After eating and drinking, they didn’t rush to clean up. The women sat and chatted together, while the men stood and smoked. Of course, only Qi Tao and Zhou Jianhai smoked, and Zong Shao didn’t.

It’s not that no one gave Zong Shao cigarettes. In fact, as soon as Qi Tao opened the cigarette case, he took two cigarettes and sent them to the other two, but Zong Shao waved his hand and said, “I quit smoking, you can smoke.”

Qi Tao did not withdraw his hand, and persuaded: “It won’t delay anything if you take one.”

Zhou Jianhai knew why Zong Shao quit smoking, so he smiled and said, “I see, instead of spending time persuading Lao Zong, you might as well ask his wife.”

The yard was so big, and Zhou Jianhai’s voice was confiscated again. Naturally, the women heard it and looked at Lin Wei jokingly.

They are all acquaintances. Lin Wei didn’t feel anything when she looked at it like this. She just raised her head and smiled and said, “Our family is very democratic. Don’t smear me outside.”

Zhou Jianhai also smiled: “Then you don’t care if the old man smokes?”

Lin Wei looked at Zong Shao with a smile: “It’s his freedom to smoke or not, what should I do?”

Zhou Jianhai was surprised and hit Zong Shao with his arm: “You heard what your wife said, do you smoke?”

Zong Shao bumped back with his arm, waved to Qi Tao again and said, “I really quit smoking.” He firmly chose the latter between smoking and going back to kiss his daughter-in-law at night.

He persuaded him to return, but Zong Shao was determined not to smoke. Of course, Qi Tao could not force him to smoke, so he gave up and started to smoke with Zhou Jianhai.

The men stopped joking, but the women’s curiosity couldn’t stop. Zhao Li deliberately moved to Lin Wei’s side and asked her in a low voice, “Tell me honestly, did you ask your comrade to quit smoking? ”

Lin Wei avoided answering: “Why are you asking this?”

“I want to ask you for advice. Our old Zhang is also an old smoker. He is very addicted to smoking. He can smoke a pack of cigarettes in two or three days. This means that he is drunk. If he is awake, the smell of smoke can be removed from them. Floating all the way to us.” Zhao Li pointed to where Zong Shao and the others were standing and said, “I tried everything I could to get him to quit smoking, and guess what?”

What’s the use of guessing? Lin Wei said, “Didn’t quit?”

“Yeah, I don’t let him smoke, so he hides and smokes. If I don’t give him money to buy cigarettes, he finds someone else to smoke. Do you think this person is annoying?” Zhao Li asked.

When it comes to men smoking, other people feel the same way with Zhao Li, and they all say, “That’s the same for our family.”

After speaking, several people looked at Lin Wei one after another.

Lin Wei: “…I think quitting smoking is mainly about personal self-consciousness.”

Although Zong Shao came back from the military camp every day, he would let him smell the smell of smoke on his fingertips and take the opportunity to reward him, but Lin Wei didn’t think he really wanted to quit smoking for kissing.

First, Zong Shao didn’t smoke much before they talked about the reward; secondly, Lin Wei felt that if Zong Shao didn’t want to quit smoking, he could just ignore it. He wanted to hide from Lin Wei, but there were many ways.

The people present were people who had been fighting with smokers at home for a long time. Naturally, they knew this. What they were curious about was how Zong Shao made up his mind to quit smoking. After all, he also smoked for many years.

Lin Wei said honestly: “On the day I moved into the family area, I found a few cigarette tickets when I packed his things, and I mentioned to him, and then two months ago, didn’t I go to the hospital for a physical examination? Pulled him along and asked him to focus on his lungs.”

“Then he quit smoking?” Zhao Li asked in disbelief.

Lin Wei nodded: “After I mentioned it the day I went to the island, he started to quit smoking, but it’s a recent thing to stop smoking completely.”

“That’s still your comrade Zong’s self-consciousness. If it’s my family, it’s useless to mention ten sentences.” Liu Dan thought about it for a while and asked, “Is it useful to have a lung examination?”

“If they are afraid of death, the doctor’s words may work.” Those who are not afraid of death are not within the scope of the discussion.

Liu Dan pondered for a moment and said, “Then I’ll ask him to do an examination another day.”

Someone took the lead, and Zhao Li quickly made up her mind: “I’ll talk to my old Zhang another day.”

After the two, Deng Xiangyun and Yang Yi also quickly prepared a medical check-up package for their men, but they didn’t know if they could quit smoking after the medical check-up.

After listening, Lin Wei thought for a while and said, “I heard that secondhand smoke is more harmful than firsthand smoke. Even if they refuse to quit smoking, for the sake of their children, it is best not to let them smoke at home.”

Zhao Li didn’t quite understand: “What does first-hand smoke and second-hand smoke mean?”

Lin Wei explained: “The cigarette he smokes is first-hand smoke. Like us, the smell of their cigarettes is second-hand smoke. I heard that smoking too much second-hand smoke may cause cancer.”

“How much is more?” Yang Yi asked.

Lin Wei shook her head: “I don’t know that very well, but I think it’s better to smoke less if you can.”

When several people heard the words, they were more determined to take their men to the hospital for examination, but that was the latter matter. What they can do now is to stop the two men puffing up after smoking a cigarette. They went on to smoke a second stick.

In order to prevent them from chatting and wanting to smoke, Deng Xiangyun and Yang Yi assigned them the task of taking the children to play eagle and chicken.

Although neither Zhou Jianhai nor Qi Tao could bring children, their daughter-in-law asked, and after the children heard their words, they all looked at them expectantly, and the two agreed with a soft heart.

There were ten children present, the eldest was Liu Dan’s daughter, who was eleven years old this year, and Zhao Li’s eldest daughter, who was nine years old this year, because they were the oldest, and they were the eagle and the hen in the first two rounds.

It’s just that although they are the tallest among the children, they are all thin, not strong, and not physically strong enough. When they are hens, they can’t run fast when they are pulled by so many children, and they can’t protect the chicks behind them. Be an eagle. The first few people were fine, but they couldn’t run at the back, so the game was a little warm.

And although Qi Tao and Zhou Jianhai both drank, they were not very drunk, and after blowing in the yard for so long, they were already sober. After all, he is an adult, or a soldier, and his physical endurance has left two children a few blocks away.

Let them be eagles and hens, the game is very exciting in an instant, and the children’s screams resounded through the sky.

Looking at the excited smiling faces of the children, the women’s topic shifted from quitting smoking to the children. Chatting and chatting, Yang Yi suddenly asked Deng Xiangyun: “The little rock is so big, don’t you plan to give her another sister?”

Although Yang Yi’s voice was not loud, Deng Xiangyun still reflexively glanced at Zhou Jianhai’s old shígG Dujia, blushed and said, “Why do you ask this all of a sudden?”

Yang Yi smiled: “What’s so shy about this, no one’s children are running all over the place these days.”

Zhao Li jokingly said, “It’s not appropriate for you to say this. Your family only has two children. You run around all over the place. Why do you have to have three, four or five children?”

Yang Yi bumped Zhao Li with her arm and asked with a smile, “Do you still want to have another one?”

Zhao Li quickly waved her hand: “I gave birth to three, but I don’t want to have another one. You can continue to work hard, especially Xiao Deng, and try to make up a good character as soon as possible.”

Seeing that the children were arguing so much, Zhou Jianhai didn’t notice their conversation, and Deng Xiangyun wasn’t so embarrassed anymore, and honestly said, “I have this plan.”

When several people heard this, they burst into laughter, and Zhao Li asked Lin Wei jokingly, “How about you, Xiao Lin?”

Lin Wei was cheerful, but didn’t respond for a while: “What am I?”

“When will Mingming Ruirui have another sister?” Zhao Li said with a smile.

Hearing this, Deng Xiangyun gloated: “Well, let you coax me just now, it’s your turn.”

Unexpectedly, Lin Wei, who was also pulled into the water: “…”

But they are all acquaintances, Deng Xiangyun answered generously, and Lin Wei also explained honestly: “There shouldn’t be any in the past two years.”

Zhao Li asked, “Do you want to have a baby two years later? It’s obvious that Ruirui and the third child are a little older.” The brothers are now three years old and less than four years old. If Lin Wei is pregnant in these two years, the two children will be The difference is only four or five years old, but if you get pregnant again in two years, it will be six or seven years old.

In fact, Lin Wei didn’t want to have children two years later, she wanted to wait until August next year to consider these things.

However, she felt that even if she thought about these things now, it would be useless. In the original book, Zong Shao only had two children, Mingming Ruirui. It can be seen that in the novel, she did not have any more children before her death.

At this time, the mainstream thought was that more children would be more prosperous. Before Lin Wei joined the army, her mother had persuaded her to let her have two children while she was young, both boys and girls.

Lin Wei didn’t feel disgusted after hearing it. Although she had no plans before, if she was really pregnant, she would be willing to give birth. Therefore, Lin Wei felt that after she went to the island in the novel, she and Zong Shao should not have deliberately contracepted.

But in reality, because Lin Wei dreamed of the plot of the novel, she didn’t want children for the time being. After she went to the island, she also talked frankly with Zong Shao, but she didn’t mention the novel, only told Zong Shao that she wanted to wait until Ming Ruirui was older before having children.

Therefore, except for the first time after going to the island, Lin Wei and Zong Shao have been using contraception since then.

The contraceptive method is mainly in vitro. It is not that Zong Shao is unwilling to use condoms, but that the hospital cannot sell this thing, and it depends on the women’s federation. The women’s federation issued a very limited number of sets per month, no more than a slap. Lin Wei was thin-skinned and embarrassed to ask for more.

Although the contraceptive method is not safe enough, Lin Wei thinks that she is not pregnant without contraception in the novel.

When it comes to the plot of the original work, of course Lin Wei won’t say anything casually, so she still uses her two children as an excuse: “Mr. Ruirui is still too young, I’m afraid now that I have a child, I can’t take care of it. Bigger, maybe they can help bring younger siblings in the future.”

Several people thought about it, and Zhao Li also said: “Anyway, if you have two babies, you might be pregnant with twins.”

Lin Wei slapped her with a slap: “Can you hope that I will order it?”

When it comes to twins, it is said that one child will be delivered at once, but the hardships of pregnancy are far from being comparable to having a child. And because of insufficient nutrition, twins are often smaller and more difficult to raise than singles.

Obviously Ruirui is like this. They are not born with enough feet. They are almost a week earlier than expected. In addition, when they were born, they were young. After giving birth, Lin Wei had nightmares for a few days, for fear that the child would not be able to support her.

Fortunately, although the two children were small when they were first left, they were in good health. After a few months of careful raising, they could not see that they were younger than children of the same age. After one year old, the two children grew faster and faster, and now they are five or six centimeters taller than Xiao Shi, who is about the same age.

Although these two children have grown up, Lin Wei doesn’t want to repeat those fearful days. If she can survive and get pregnant again, she hopes to have a single child, a daughter is the best, but even if it is a son, she does not plan to continue giving birth.

Therefore, although Zhao Li’s words were well-intentioned, Lin Wei really didn’t want to endure it.
