Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life

Chapter 56 A Lady Comes to the Door
The next morning, He Yuzhu was sleepy. When he got up from bed, Chen Miaoyun was still fast asleep. He took a look at the sky outside, stretched his body, and said to himself:

"Sign in."

"Sign in successfully, get five pounds of flour."

There were five more kilograms of flour in the space, but He Yuzhu looked normal. He Yuzhu had been in this era for more than half a year, signing in every day, and had almost mastered the supplies provided by the system.

They were all basic daily necessities such as rice, flour, grain, oil, etc. As for money, the best time he was lucky enough to get was thirty yuan. In short, it was impossible to get rich overnight, but for He Yuzhu, it was a solid backing.

In addition to daily expenses such as food, drink, and defecation, He Yuzhu's system space now has nearly 100 kilograms of flour, 200 kilograms of corn cobs, 20 kilograms of soybean oil, 60 meters of linen, and less than 10 kilograms of various miscellaneous items such as cotton, sugar, soy sauce, etc.

In short, the supplies in He Yuzhu's space are already quite good even in normal times, let alone in this special period.

Even without the salary from the steel mill job, He Yuzhu could still support his family. Of course, He Yuzhu also took into account the current situation of everyone, and although the family reserves were enough for them to eat, He Yuzhu still restrained himself.

Take white flour for example, He Yuzhu and his family only eat white flour two days a week, and the remaining five days they eat corn cobs and steamed bread. If they eat white flour every day, they may be reported behind their backs by someone who is jealous.

However, despite appearing to be like this, He Yuzhu would still secretly add some things when cooking. Although it could not be seen on the surface, more seasonings or more oil and water could at least ensure that their whole family would not lack too much nutrition.

"Wife, I'm going to get up and cook. You can sleep a little longer~"

He Yuzhu said softly, and then got up.

Now that Chen Miaoyun is pregnant, He Yuzhu can naturally be more relaxed about cooking. For example, white flour, although not every meal, must be eaten every other day. Moreover, some of the supplies in the space can also be taken out. All of this is to ensure that Chen Miaoyun's body gets enough nutrition.

At this time, He Yuzhu was not afraid of being seen and gossiped by others. What's the matter? My wife is pregnant. What's it to her to eat something good?
……

After breakfast, it was usually Chen Miaoyun who cleaned up the dishes, but today Yu Shui was quite active and competed with the two little ones, Chen Miaozhi, to do these chores.

"Sister-in-law, just take a good rest. From now on, leave our housework to Miaozhi and me." Yu Shui said with concern.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You are quite sensible, you know how to feel sorry for your sister-in-law."

"Tsk, brother, I have always been very sensible. I'm still waiting for my sister-in-law to give me nephews and nieces." Yu Shui curled her lips.

"Okay, okay, just wait to become an aunt."

On the side, Chen Miaoyun also had a smile on her face, but she still said: "It's okay, Yu Shui, sister-in-law can work, she just got pregnant, don't worry."

He Yuzhu winked at Chen Miaoyun and said, "Wife, just let this girl do it. It's a good opportunity to train them so that they don't have to run around all day after dinner."

That's the time.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

After Yu Shui went over to open the door, it turned out to be an old lady. "Yu Shui." Nodding at He Yu Shui, the old lady quickly turned her gaze to He Yu Zhu in the room, and finally landed on Chen Miao Yun.

"Zhu Zi, I heard that Miao Yun is pregnant?"

"Hey, Auntie, I just went to the hospital yesterday and found out that I'm pregnant."

He Yuzhu nodded, and Chen Miaoyun also came to the side of the pillar and greeted the old lady.

"Okay, it's good to be pregnant, Zhuzi. You two are so lucky. Miaoyun will definitely give birth to a big fat boy." As the aunt said this, she came over and took Chen Miaoyun's hand.

"Miao Yun, there is something that Auntie thought about yesterday after she found out you were pregnant..."

"You are pregnant now, so it will be inconvenient for you to move around. Yushui is also in school now. If Zhuzi is late for get off work at night, it will affect your meals and daily life. It just so happens that I am not working either, so I will help you in the future. For lunch and dinner, make more so that we can eat together."

Upon hearing this, Chen Miaoyun said repeatedly: "Auntie, this is too much trouble for you, and I'm just pregnant, there's nothing wrong, why do you need to take care of me like this."

"Miao Yun, that's not what I meant. Auntie is older than you and has more experience. Even though you may not be in any trouble now that you're pregnant, it's not a small matter. If something goes wrong, it will affect the baby or even your own health. It's not worth it. Auntie is free anyway, so she can just take care of the old lady in the backyard. I've taken care of the old lady in the backyard for so many years. It's okay."

Hearing the old lady being so enthusiastic, Chen Miaoyun couldn't help but show some hesitation on her face.

"This... is really a bit embarrassing."

"We are all from the same compound, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, it's just a matter of cooking more food, and you can still chat with me."

Chen Miaoyun looked at He Yuzhu for help.

In response to this, He Yuzhu only thought about it for a moment, and immediately nodded: "Since Auntie said so, then I'll trouble you with this matter."

When an old lady came to talk about this matter, it hit the nail on the head for He Yuzhu.

Although their family conditions are not bad, after Chen Miaoyun became pregnant, He Yuzhu has been considering a series of issues such as his wife's meals at home.

It is impossible to hire a nanny or a servant to take care of the baby in this day and age, but it is indeed a bit inconvenient for pregnant women. Although Chen Miaoyun's belly is not obvious now, there is actually a safety hazard, not to mention that when her belly gets bigger, even her daily activities will be affected.

When I go to work and Yu Shui goes to school, there are only Chen Miaozhi and Chen Miaoyun at home. At most, the old lady comes over to sit with us occasionally. If something unexpected really happens, it will be difficult to deal with.

Of course, He Yuzhu knew that his family would owe a favor to the aunt by doing this, but for the sake of his wife, He Yuzhu was willing to do it.

"By the way, Auntie, let's discuss the dinner after I get off work tonight. When the time comes, we'll pay the money and provide the materials. You've taken such good care of our Miao Yun, so we won't let you suffer any loss in this matter."
