Zhang Dongmei still felt sick, so she went to the bedroom to rest without rejecting her husband’s words. After helping his wife lie down on the bed, Li Chenze went to the kitchen and picked up a jar of preserved lemons given by Lu Jueyu.
He puts two slices of lemon and a spoonful of wild honey into a bamboo cup, then pours hot water and stirs until the honey dissolves. Then, he returned to the bedroom with the cup in hand.
When he walked into the bedroom, he saw his wife leaning against the wall with a pale face. He walked over, sat by the bed, and said, "Wife, drink some water."
Zhang Dongmei saw the lemon slices in the cup and took a sip. Feeling her nausea lessen, she drank more water. The sour taste of lemon is not much, and combined with honey, it tastes delicious.
After she drank the water, she said, "Husband, I’m fine."
"Wife, let’s go to the hospital for a checkup when you feel better," Li Chenze said.
"Okay." Zhang Dongmei said with a smile.
Seeing that his wife looked much better, Li Chenze breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will prepare the table."
Father Li came out of the bedroom and saw that the table had been set, but there was no one around. He sat down and waited for his son and his daughter-in-law.
After a while, he saw his son coming out of the bedroom and asked, "Eldest son, where is your wife?"
Li Chenze sat opposite his father and said, "Ah Mei is sleeping in the room."
Father Li was surprised by his words. His eldest daughter-in-law is a person who can’t sit still. Even if there is no work to do, she will find something to do. It was rare for her to take a nap at this time.
"Is your wife sick?" he asked.
Seeing his father’s worry, Li Chenze smiled and said, "Father, I plan to take Ah Mei to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow."
This time, when Father Li heard what his eldest son said, his eyes lit up and he said, "Then don’t let your wife do the heavy work. If that doesn’t work, invite your wife’s sister over and let her help with housework. We can pay her with food or money." ƒrēewebnovel.com
After hearing this, Li Chenze thought for a while and said, "After we confirm that Ah Mei is pregnant, I will talk to my wife about it."
"Good, good, good!" Father Li said happily.
Because they were in a good mood, both Father Li and Li Chenze ate more than usual. Not long after lunch, Han Yuheng came carrying a bamboo basket on his back.
After cleaning up the kitchen and washing the dishes, Li Chenze came to the bedroom and saw his wife sleeping soundly. After closing the door, he picked up the bamboo basket, machete, and hoe, and left with Han Yuheng.
On the way to the mountains, they passed Li Chenmo’s home. Seeing his third brother washing things by the river, he looked at Han Yuheng and said, "Team leader, I have something to say to the third brother. Please wait a moment."
