Chapter 131 The elderly couple begins to consider raising some confinement chickens (1/2)
Reading Settings
Gu Qizheng took the oranges out of the bag one by one, and picked out five or six of the larger and better-looking ones to wash them clean under the tap.
After peeling the skin, I peeled off the transparent skin from the orange segment by segment, revealing the pure orange pulp.
Then, they patiently removed the orange seeds one by one, placed the processed pulp on a clean gauze, and used a spoon to crush it to extract the juice.
The bowl was filled to the brim with yellow juice, and Gu Qizheng thoughtfully transferred it to a pretty glass before serving it to Lin Han.
He was gone for so long that when he returned to the room, Lin Han was already asleep.
Gu Qizheng did not wake Lin Han. Instead, he gently placed the orange juice on the bedside table, took off his clothes and shoes, and lay down next to Lin Han.
He didn't blame Lin Han for wanting orange juice earlier; he got it for her in the middle of the night, but she had already fallen asleep.
Instead, he blamed himself for being too slow and not being able to get Lin Han the drink she wanted before she fell asleep.
She must have felt really bad just now, right? She even threw up.
Gu Qizheng felt sorry for his wife. He couldn't take away the hardships of pregnancy from Lin Han, so he could only do his best to help her.
Gu Qizheng is going to the service station tomorrow to buy some sour candies so that Lin Han can have them immediately if she wants something sour at night.
The next morning, when Lin Han opened her eyes, she saw a glass of fresh orange juice on her bedside table.
The cup that Lin Han didn't drink last night had already been poured out by Gu Qizheng. He was afraid that Lin Han would want to drink it as soon as she woke up, so he made her a new cup.
Lin Han felt a burning sensation in her stomach, and after drinking a few sips of orange juice, she felt much better.
Grandma Jiang prepared a sumptuous breakfast, including soy milk and steamed buns, and even steamed brown sugar cake for Lin Han.
"Hanhan, come and eat. After you finish eating, Grandma will go and buy you two cans of milk powder."
Luckily, we had some foreign exchange certificates saved up, so we went to the Friendship Store to buy some milk powder to help Hanhan get better, and we can also make milk powder for her if she gets hungry at night.
Lin Han felt that her family members seemed to be overly nervous.
She's just pregnant; it's not like she needs her whole family to revolve around her.
But these people were all very enthusiastic. Even Grandpa Gu went to his old comrade's house early in the morning to buy two chickens he raised himself to make soup for Lin Han.
Grandpa Gu and Grandma Jiang used to live alone. They bought their vegetables and chickens from the service station and didn't bother raising chickens or growing vegetables themselves.
But things are different now; my granddaughter-in-law is pregnant and needs to nourish her body.
Moreover, when she gives birth and goes into postpartum confinement, she needs meat at every meal and chicken soup every day. If we start raising chickens now, we should be able to catch up with Lin Han during her postpartum confinement.
The two elderly men started looking for someone to come and build up the chicken coop.
After breakfast, Gu Huaiming, Qin Shuman, and Gu Qizheng went to work, while the elderly couple and Lin Han stayed at home.
Grandma Jiang wouldn't let Lin Han do anything. After dinner, she would let her go upstairs to rest or take a stroll around the courtyard.
She and Grandpa Gu began clearing out space in the yard, planning where to put the chicken coop and where it would be suitable to till the soil and plant vegetables.
The two elderly comrades were busy and happy, not feeling tired at all.
Lin Han didn't want to stay in the house, so she went out for a walk by herself.
She wasn't very familiar with the family compound of the Kyoto Military Region. Although Grandma Jiang had taken her to visit some of Grandma Jiang's old friends last time, it was only limited to the small area near her home.
She wanted to familiarize herself with the layout of the residential compound as soon as possible, including where the service station, canteen, hospital, and playground were located.
She was walking aimlessly when she suddenly ran into an acquaintance.
Li Qiao is the "Holy Mary" who spoke up for the pregnant woman on the train.
Li Qiao was surprised when she realized that the person opposite her was Lin Han.
