After learning of her pregnancy, Xie Wanqing became more cautious and stayed indoors whenever possible.
Worried that the days of wandering might have affected her, although she didn't feel any discomfort, she still drank several doses of fetus-preserving medicine consecutively.
The days passed in a serene and leisurely manner.
Chen Xixi would come every day to chat with her, bringing pastries and vegetables grown by her mother-in-law.
The Li Family also raised a dozen or so chickens, and from time to time, they would gather some eggs to bring over.
Xie Wanqing understood the importance of social ties; she had spent several years learning household management by Mrs. Zheng's side, and during the festive seasons, no matter the distance, it was necessary to send gifts to relatives and friends.
For closer kin, whatever seasonal fruits the farm produced, a basket would be sent over.
