Xiao Fang was surprised and happy when she saw the plump berries. Because the slopes are steep and there are many wild animals in the mountains, villagers rarely go up the mountains. Therefore, they rarely have access to fresh fruit unless they grow some at home.
"Thank you, Sister Chen." Xiao Fang ate a berry and said sweetly.
Chen Anwen looked at her and lowered her head to hide her emotions. Xiao Fang is only 16 years old, but she is already pregnant. Although the country leaders tell them they must be 18 years old or older to get married, the villagers still keep their traditions. When their daughter had her first menstruation, they started looking for a husband for their daughter.
If they reach the age of 20 and are not married or engaged, they will be called spinsters.
This also includes her family as she married Lu Han at the age of 16 and got pregnant at the age of 17. Now her eldest son is 4 years old and she is only 23 years old. Although she did not regret marrying her husband, giving birth to her son at a young age did take a toll on her body.
What’s more, due to the bad situation at that time, they can only give her some eggs occasionally, resulting in insufficient supplementation for her after delivery.
After she gave birth to her second son, the doctor said she would need to recuperate for several years before she could have another child. Otherwise, she may have difficulty giving birth due to health reasons.
Thinking of Lu Jueyu, Chen Anwen wondered if she had gotten pregnant. It would be better if she and her husband could wait at least another year or two to have children. Otherwise, given her constitution, she might suffer more illness if she gave birth at a young age compared to her.
Seeing her sister-in-law was deep in thought, Wang Muxiao came closer and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?"
After coming back to her senses, Chen Anwen looked at Wang Muxiao and smiled, "I was wondering what to make for dinner? Father and Mother should be back soon."
Hearing her words, Wang Muxiao swallowed her saliva and said, "Sister-in-law, how about we make egg noodles for dinner? You have made some noodles before. If we don’t eat it, it will go bad when the weather gets warmer."
Chen Anwen thought for a while and said, "Okay."
There are five old hens at home, and they can lay three to five eggs every day. So they never run out of eggs and can now even sell some to state supply stores. Chen Anwen was confused at first as to how they could get so many eggs from five hens every day. But after a while, the old hen only laid one egg every day. Sometimes, it doesn’t even lay eggs. Therefore, she didn’t think too much about it.
