Chapter 194 Tong Jiahui is pregnant again
Summer vacation has arrived, and the brigade leader has sown the alfalfa seeds that Tong Yuheng bought on the wasteland by the river. Now they have grown into patches, and the purple alfalfa flowers are in bloom, making the riverside a beautiful sight.
To fulfill her promise to the brigade to raise bees and make honey, Tong Yuheng began leading everyone in building beehives. She had done this work in her previous life, and what was needed now were beehives. She had already prepared these, finding beehives in the mountains near the training base.
She secretly smuggled the bees into her spatial dimension, taking advantage of the several times longer time, and raised many queen bees, dividing them into separate hives. She was just waiting for all the beehives to be completed before finding an excuse to take them out and raise them.
The village selected several hardworking women to take care of the beehives. The work wasn't strenuous and they were given eight work points each day, so they were all very willing to do it. The first batch of honey wasn't harvested until the autumn harvest began.
This year's honey harvest was small, so Tong Yuheng suggested not selling it all, but giving each family one or two ounces, which made the children extremely happy. The honey tasted fragrant and sweet, the most beautiful flavor in the world.
Tong Yuheng taught everyone how to make beehives, how to divide the hives for the bees, and how to care for them in winter, etc. She won't be involved next year. They can harvest honey once or twice more this year, and the costs will be fully recovered.
If the brigade is willing to raise more bees next spring, they can build more beehives. When the vitex and locust flowers bloom here in spring, they can release bees to make honey.
When the production team settled the costs with Tong Yuheng, she symbolically accepted 100 yuan from the team leader. The beehives were found in the mountains, and the beehives were made by everyone; she only provided the methods and the bee species. The small amount was simply to prevent the villagers from developing the idea of getting something for nothing.
The school is closed for the autumn harvest, and Tong Jiahui also comes back to work. After all, Linglong is still a sent-down youth, and the two of them need to have their work points calculated and their grain distributed at the end of the year.
All the daughters in the family pitched in; the seven women in the family could earn at least sixty work points a day, making those families with sons extremely envious. The Tong family's girls were all strong and capable, truly more useful than any boy.
However, after working for only a few days, Tong Jiahui's face turned pale and she felt dizzy and lightheaded. Her daughters quickly helped her to the clinic.
Grandpa Tong came over to take his daughter's pulse. After pondering for a long time, he said, "It's nothing, just a bit of an upset stomach. Let your mother go home and rest. Yuheng, get your mother some water."
"Oh, okay." Tong Yuheng understood that the old man wanted her to pour some spiritual spring water for her mother to drink.
"Dad, don't worry, I'm fine now, I'm not dizzy anymore." Tong Jiahui wanted to continue working, but Grandpa Tong stopped her.
"Jiahui, I'll go home with you. Let the children go back to work. I'll give you a few acupuncture needles to calm you down." The old man stood up, tidied the table, and gestured for Tong Jiahui to wait for him to go home together.
Tong Yuheng knew that his grandfather had something to say to his mother alone, so he took his sisters to continue picking corn in the field. They had to finish their assigned plot of land before they could call it a day.
The younger sisters were worried about their mother, so they put in more effort and worked much faster than before, finishing the work well ahead of schedule. The sisters pushed their tricycle to the threshing ground, took the corn they had picked, quickly changed their tools, and ran home.
When I got home, I saw my mother's smiling face and her complexion was much rosier, so I knew she was alright. Everyone busied themselves boiling water and cooking.
Now, Yuxuan usually does the cooking at home; the twelve-year-old girl can easily handle most of the housework. Yuqi helps with the fire and other chores, and she's just as capable as the other girls in the village who have been doing housework since they were little. Grandpa Tong prepares in advance at noon, picking and washing vegetables and such.

Xiao Liu's cooking skills are quite good now! However, Tong Jia Hui usually cooks on weekends, as she enjoys seeing her family praising her cooking and eating it with gusto.
Linglong and Xiaowu mostly lived at school. They were in their final year of high school when the semester started, and the curriculum was more demanding and intense, so they needed to dedicate a lot of time to studying.
They weren't allowed to do any housework during this period, so Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, who had more free time, took the initiative to cook and clean.
Linglong's grades in her senior year of high school had dropped to below average. On weekends, she would ask her mother to tutor her so she could catch up with her classmates as soon as possible. Her goal was still to be in the top ten of the class and get excellent grades in most subjects by the time she graduated next year.
After catching up in the first few months, Xiao Wu has now caught up and achieved a good ranking in the class. She is confident that she can win first place in next month's monthly exam.
The provincial math and physics competitions, originally scheduled for this year, have been postponed and may be delayed until the end of the year. This is very beneficial for Xiao Wu, as she has resumed her evening tutoring sessions with her math and physics teachers and no longer has time to supervise her twin sister's studies.
Now that it's the harvest season holiday, the daughters all volunteered to go to work, and Tong Jiahui, not wanting to slack off, also wanted to go. After arriving home with her father, the old man said to her very seriously, "Jiahui, you're pregnant again. It's only been a month, I can't be sure, it seems like there's more than one..."
"What? I'm pregnant again?" Tong Jiahui found it unbelievable, but she was not yet forty years old, so it wasn't unusual for her to get pregnant.
"At your age, are you still planning to have any more children?" Old Master Tong felt sorry for his daughter. Of course she would have one; Liu Fengyi didn't even have any biological children yet. But what if it was two or even three? Could his daughter handle that?
"Yes, how could I not? Even if it's just another daughter, that would be great. After this one is born, you can prescribe some medicine for me, and I won't have any more children." Tong Jiahui said firmly.
"Then you shouldn't go to work anymore. Wait a few months before talking about it. Don't do any work during this time either; you need to protect your pregnancy." The old man wondered if Yuheng's medicine had any effect on promoting pregnancy.
Aunt Li and Second Aunt Li each gave birth to a healthy baby boy about twenty days apart two months ago, making Grandpa Li extremely happy. Ding Hongyan, who lives in the cowshed, is also about to give birth, and it's almost certainly a boy. His own son and daughter-in-law have also had their bodies treated with medicine, and now his little grandson is already crawling all over the place.
Will my daughter's next pregnancy also result in twins? Whether it's a boy or a girl, if my daughter wants to have the baby, then I have to do my best to keep it safe!
Tong Jiahui took leave during the autumn harvest because she was sick. The girls in the family each do the work of two, so no one bothered to nag her about whether she was working or not. She already had a regular job, and no one could control whether she came to work or not.
Tong Jiahui didn't tell her daughters the news. Two days later, when Liu Fengyi returned, Tong Jiahui told him about it.
