Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 334 Visiting the Countryside

Unexpectedly, not long after that, his wife became pregnant.

I originally thought of just buying some more things in the city and mailing them over, but I didn't expect Xie Hehua to come to me on her own initiative.

"Your brother's wife is pregnant, and we need to find someone to go and take a look."

Hearing Xie Hehua's words, Zuo Zhizhi did not refute, but just nodded calmly. Anyway, this matter should have nothing to do with her.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Xie Hehua say, "Your sister just got married, and your sister-in-law is pregnant again. I can't leave here."

Before Zuo Zhizhi could react, she heard her continue, "So when will you go?"

"I?"

Zuo Zhizhi was a little confused as to how this matter had anything to do with her.

"We really can't do anything here, so we can only rely on you."

Zuo Zhizhi thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

Of course, this may also be an excuse. Xie Hehua didn't want her family to pay, so it is very likely that she asked Zuo Zhizhi to go to the countryside to take a look.

As for the fact that my sister-in-law is pregnant, it may just be an excuse to conceal the truth from the outside world.

But after thinking for a moment, Zuo Zhizhi agreed.

Although there is nothing important right now, it is indeed not very pleasant to stay in the same place and do the same work day after day.

Even though going to the countryside to visit others is not an easy task now, Zuo Zhizhi is still very happy.

The most important thing is that this trip to the countryside not only allows me to see Zuo Aijun’s wife, but also allows me to visit Gu Jiqing’s sister.

Gu Jiqing also has three children in his family, but when he got married, his youngest sister was not old enough and lived like an invisible person at home, with no sense of existence at all.

Now that I'm old enough, it's natural for me to prepare to go to the countryside.

Although the family was very reluctant, they were already at the center of the storm and it was impossible for them to give their daughter a backdoor again.

In the past few years, if there was anyone from a small cadre's family who went to the countryside, wouldn't they all have found jobs and not have to worry about what would happen next?

However, the situation has become increasingly strict in recent years, especially for families like theirs with three children but no one going to the countryside. They are the focus of other people's attention.

Although I want her to stay in the city, the current situation forces her to go to the countryside no matter what.

Although the family was reluctant, they still sent her to the countryside.

It’s just that her family would mail things to her from time to time, and even Zuo Zhizhi would often buy things and send them to the countryside, so her life in the countryside was naturally not too bad.

But everyone was always worried when they heard her talk about these things in her letters.

Therefore, after Zuo Zhizhi told him her decision, Gu Jiqing was very moved and agreed immediately.

In the next few days, the Gu family hurried to pack up their things. Zuo Zhizhi was also busy, packing up everything as quickly as possible.

After everything was packed up, I went to the factory to ask for leave.

Since Gu's father already had connections, it was naturally very convenient to ask for leave.

Carrying a lot of bags, Zuo Zhizhi once again boarded the train to another place.

It’s true, although it’s not very comfortable on the train, it’s much better than being trapped in one place. Besides, she has taken a lot of time off this time, so she has the opportunity to take a good look outside.

The train was moving along, and this was not Zuo Zhizhi's first time going there, so she was naturally familiar with the route.

It was true that they experienced a lot of bumps along the way, but fortunately they arrived safely at their destination in the countryside.

Zuo Aijun received the news early in the morning, so he naturally took leave early to pick up Zuo Zhizhi.

As soon as he came up, he very attentively carried Zuo Zhizhi's things on his shoulders, and then asked with concern: "Sister, you must be tired! Why did you come all the way here? It's not only troublesome but also tiring!"

Zuo Zhizhi looked at Zuo Aijun. He looked a little different from before. Now he looked taller and stronger, with darker and rougher skin.

It's true that he has been in the countryside for too long and has lost his previous cleverness.

Zuo Zhizhi agreed briefly and followed Zuo Aijun to their home.

The house is not too big, but it looks very new because they just built it.

Zuo Aijun was an educated youth here, so he was naturally considered a villager.

In addition, now that I am married to someone in the village, I will naturally be allocated a residential plot.

Although the two young people had no money, they had the salary sent by Zuo Hongxia every month, plus the occasional help from their family, so the house was built in a decent shape.

Zuo Zhizhi took a look and kept praising: "Not bad, not bad, you seem very capable!"

Zuo Aijun touched his head embarrassedly, then quickly invited her into the house.

In the room, Zuo Aijun's wife Yang Lulu was sitting on the bed. She was busy with her hands, and it seemed that she was making clothes for the child.

Seeing Zuo Zhizhi coming in, she hurriedly prepared to sit up, but Zuo Zhizhi quickly stopped her: "Don't be so busy when you're pregnant!"

Yang Lulu smiled and said, "Nothing. I don't need to worry about anything at home. Besides, it's time to prepare clothes for the children. I can't just leave it empty."

Zuo Zhizhi didn't say anything. After all, everyone was like this. Even if she was pregnant, it was impossible to have a complete rest.

Didn’t you continue to work as usual even when you were pregnant?

What's more, some families in the countryside are still working in the fields even until the moment before giving birth.

For someone like Yang Lulu who is able to give birth at home after becoming pregnant, she is considered a family that loves her child very much.

Zuo Zhizhi took out the gifts prepared by the Zuo family and herself, which included cloth, brown sugar, red dates, malted milk, milk powder and other things they had prepared.

Although there aren't too many things, they were all found with great effort.

There aren't many of these things now, so you have to rely on connections to find them.

Sure enough, they were happier seeing these things.

Some things cannot be bought with money, and it takes a lot of effort to get them.

Zuo Zhizhi couldn't stay here for too long, so she just looked at Yang Lulu's family, chatted with them, and after delivering some things, she left quickly.

While Zuo Aijun was coming to see her off, Zuo Zhizhi quickly asked, "So, are you guys all right with your food now?"

There are two people eating, but only one person earns work points, so the family naturally gets a lot less food.

What's more, Yang Lulu is pregnant now, so she naturally can't work too hard or go hungry. It would be bad if something happened.

Zuo Aijun shook his head: "It's okay, Lulu is a villager, so naturally she has her own head of food. And her brothers will come to help, so there is no problem with food at home."
