Pregnant Woman

In the Chu Village.
It was a cloudy day with a cool breeze.
At noon, the empty space in front of the Chu family's new house was filled with tables and stools. The old people sat at the table and chatted happily. The children ran around, playing. Laughter filled the air. The entire village was as lively as the New Year.
Grandpa Chu smiled as he greeted everyone, "Everyone, take a seat. The banquet is about to begin."
The women in the village immediately went to look for their sons and grandsons and pulled them over to sit on stools. There was a lot of delicious food today. It was said that there were twelve dishes.
There were four cold dishes, two stir-fried dishes, two braised dishes, and four steamed dishes.
Chu Xuede was the first to come out of the house with a tray in his hand. He said loudly, "Four cold dishes, red oil pig ears, chicken feet with pickled peppers, preserved eggs with green peppers, and asparagus lettuce."
