Chapter 579 Misplaced Treasure

The main work is making beams, rafters and other relatively simple objects. There are also wooden doors and windows, but the number is relatively small, and occasionally there are some tables, chairs and benches.

Pei Jingyang said that when he signed the adobe agreement with Lord Li from the Ministry of Works, he had already made a verbal agreement with Lord Li.

The beams and rafters made by the timber workshop here will also be supplied to the Ministry of Works to build huts and livestock houses. Hualei also admired Pei Jingyang's ability to strike at the right time.

When Hualei was walking around the lumberyard, she saw a lot of sawdust piled up on one side, so she asked Uncle Zhongsheng to transport the sawdust to the rabbit farm.

When they were in the capital, Hualei used up all the sawdust. A lot of it was sent to Yuanying Manor to be used for heat preservation and deodorization of the pig pens.

Sawdust is still very suitable for raising rabbits. Sawdust can absorb rabbit urine and effectively keep rabbits warm. Spreading a layer of sawdust on the bottom of the rabbit cage is the best material for wintering.

When these sawdust come out of the rabbit cage, they are fermented and put into the fields, and they become the best fertilizer. It is really convenient to recycle them.

There is no garbage in this world, only treasures that are misplaced. Hualei found that this sentence is so true.

Especially in this relatively prosperous dynasty, where resources are not abundant, as long as you pay a little attention, there are treasures everywhere.

After returning from the timber workshop, Hualei felt a little tired. Fortunately, the government office was not busy, so Hualei could go to work and slack off, which was quite pleasant.

Before we knew it, it’s already mid-December. The Chinese New Year is just over a month away, and the weather is getting colder.

The land surveying team from the Ministry of Revenue also started to leave late and return early because of the cold weather, so Hualei's job became easier.

But, I don't know what's going on? Hua Lei has been feeling tired recently. At noon that day, Rong Jin was busy and didn't go back to the house, so Hua Lei went back to the house alone to eat lunch.

After lunch, Hualei wanted to go to the kang to have a rest. Qingqi, who had been following Hualei all the time, reminded her softly that Hualei's day had been delayed by eight or nine days.

Hua Lei was stunned. Her calendar was not very accurate to begin with. It would usually be delayed by four or five days every month, and this cycle would repeat over and over again, so she would sometimes forget.

However, every time before her period, she would have mild backache and abdominal pain four or five days before her period. This month, apart from being tired, she did not have any backache or abdominal pain. With a thought, Hualei immediately asked Qingqi to find Xiao Xufu Doctor.

After a cup of tea, Doctor Xu smiled and congratulated Hualei. Hualei was indeed pregnant and had been pregnant for more than a month. The baby was healthy. He told Hualei to just rest and did not prescribe any medicine.

At this moment, Hua Lei was a little stunned. Although she had been prepared for pregnancy at any time since she got married, when the child really came, Hua Lei felt a little dazed.

Meanwhile, Qingqi and Qinghua were all smiling. This was really good news. Half a year after getting married, the mistress had good news. It was really good.

So, he immediately arranged to help Hualei go back to her room to lie down and rest. After the initial trance, Hualei asked the doctor Xiao Xu and the maids around her not to reveal any information for the time being.

Thinking of the customs of the Great Sheng Dynasty, Qingqi and Qinghua nodded hurriedly. Hualei also stood up, left the house, went to the pharmacy on East Street, and found an old doctor to feel the pulse again. After getting the same answer as Xiao Xu's doctor, he returned to the county government.

At the same time, she was thinking about how to tell Rong Jin. If she told Rong Jin, would he ask her to go home and take care of the baby immediately?

If Rong Jin asked her to do this, what would she do? Although Rong Jin didn't let her do anything for her own good, in her previous life, this was also the choice of many pregnant women.

But should I agree? If I really go home to take care of my baby, the Ministry of Revenue probably won't keep my official position, right?

In this case, would it be a big loss for me? Although my parents are back now and I am married, the pressure on me is much less.

However, I am still very happy doing this job. Although the salary is not much, it is stable and makes me feel a sense of accomplishment.

And last time, Emperor Shengwu said that if I was really pregnant, I wouldn't have to be so strict about the time. I just had to focus on the general direction, so could I continue to stick to it?

If I lose my job easily this time, then I will never be able to enter the officialdom again in my life, right? What will I do in the future? Will I really return to the backyard?

Then look at the account book and move your mouth? Hualei hesitated. It is indeed good to take a break occasionally. But staying in the backyard every day for a lifetime, I don’t think I like it very much!

Moreover, the arrival of this child was quite coincidental. At this time of year, my office was relatively free, so I could still stick to my duty.

After the New Year, when the weather gets warmer and the Ministry of Revenue gets busy, the child will be five or six months old. If I am in good health, I can still do some work. I just don't know if Rong Jin will agree? And there are my father-in-law and mother-in-law.

If they let me go home to take care of the baby, can I still insist on going to work? If I insist on going every day, is it worth it? Am I too diligent? According to what I said in my previous life, I should have the capital to lie down temporarily.

Should I just lie down and be a happy little woman who doesn't have to do anything but eat, drink and have fun? Hua Lei sat in the government office, thinking about these issues.

When Rong Jin came to find her back at the house, Hua Lei still hadn't made up her mind. Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. I'll deal with Rong Jin first tonight, and we'll talk about the rest later.

The two of them held hands and returned to the house. After eating together, they took a short walk in the house and then lay down on the kang.

Seeing Rong Jin sitting there, flipping through a book, Hua Lei gently pulled Rong Jin's sleeve and said softly, "Husband, can we have a chat?"

Rong Jin smiled, put down the book in his hand, relaxed his body, leaned on the kang, hugged Hua Lei and said, "Okay, sister Hua, go ahead and talk. I'm listening. What do you want to tell me?"

"Husband, I'm pregnant." Hua Lei said directly.

"Oh! What? Sister Hua, is it true...?" Rong Jin sat up straight again, looked at Hua Lei's abdomen, and asked again.

"Sister Hua, have you asked Doctor Xu to feel your pulse? When? Haven't we been on duty together every day these past few days?
