Tan Yuancheng took a couple of deep drags on his cigarette, then decided to put the issue aside for now; discussing it when just two months pregnant seemed too early.
What he was considering now was another matter: it was time for Xiao Fu's full-moon celebration.

The rain outside intensified, and those tending crops in the fields frowned with worry.
The Xiao Family was hit the hardest, with a loss of nearly ten thousand jin from their fifty acres.
At four wen per jin of rice, that amounted to forty-two taels, and with this year's doubling of labor costs, the loss was even greater.
At that moment, Qiao Duo'er was discussing the design for the new house with Tan Zhenghong.
