Crazy Apricot Grove (6) (2)

Xylophone is a person who has come over and knows that the child in his womb is about to be born. She waved her hand and said, let me lie down for a while, maybe I'm going to give birth early.

Having a baby is a big deal. Now it is in the barren mountains and wilderness, and there are still several miles of mountain roads from the village, which is an extraordinary event. The women blew up the camp at once. If you have a sour apricot aunt or an aunt, come and prepare to deliver the baby. Some people called their own men who were working nearby to cut down trees to make stretchers and send the xylophone back to the village. There are also people looking for Maosheng everywhere, saying that your mother-in-law is about to give birth, so go and take care of it. The whole construction site was suddenly chaotic, and everyone was like a splashing grasshopper, scurrying around.

The sour apricot woman looked at it for a while and said, it's too late, the amniotic water is broken. Don't wait to carry it back to the village, the baby is on the way to be born early.

Although Xinghua Village is deep in the hinterland of the mountains and the traffic is extremely inconvenient, it has never been killed because of giving birth. This is all thanks to the sour apricot family. Sour Xing's grandmother is a good hand at delivering babies, not only knows how to deliver babies, but also understands the correct fetal position or something. Therefore, in the past few decades, none of the women in Xinghua Village have had a difficult birth. Before his grandmother died, she passed on this craft to his mother, and instructed that this craft must not be lost. With it, there will be a human field, there will be merit, there will be food, and there will be a stable life. It has been more than 20 years since his mother took over, and now she is too old to do anything, and she has passed it on to the sour apricot woman. It can be inferred from this that Sour Xing was able to do the role of branch secretary steadily and tastefully in the collision between the two surnames in the village, which is not unrelated to the merits accumulated by the women of the He family for generations. Just imagine, among the lively adults and children now, which one of them is not taken out of their mother's belly by the women of the He family. Who can forget the kindness of the women of the He family.

The sour apricot woman cooked the xylophone slowly, and said to the men who gathered, what the men should do, it's none of your business. Even Maosheng's nephew doesn't have to stay here, he can work with peace of mind, it's okay.

She also instructed the women to put the xylophone into the apricot grove, and boiled a pot full of boiling water with the big iron pot in the team to boil water and drink. And he told the women to draw a heap of hay, and burn it to the dust, and wait for it. She only asked Xue'e and Sixi's daughter-in-law Osmanthus to be her helpers, and the rest of the people went to work in the fields.

Lan Xiang and Jin Lian were so frightened that they were still in a daze, and they didn't know what to do. Knowing that it was their own fault that caused the xylophone to be born prematurely, both of them were so remorseful that they wiped their tears. Seeing that the sour apricot woman arranged the cooking in a hurry, her heart was somewhat calmer. The two of them unanimously demanded that they should also stay and take care of the xylophone.

The sour apricot woman comforted, it doesn't take so many people. Maosheng's nephew and daughter-in-law are also at the time of birth, it's okay, don't worry.

Sure enough, in less than a meal, there was a loud cry of a baby in the apricot forest. The men, women and children on the construction site who were sticking out their ears to listen to the movement suddenly burst into a burst of cheers.

Someone said loudly to Maosheng, it must be another leader, otherwise, the voice wouldn't sound here.

Mao Sheng trotted over. Seeing that the adults and children were fine, his heart blossomed, and he thanked the sour apricot woman one after another.

The sour apricot woman wiped the fine sweat on her forehead and said, "Give the child a name."

Maosheng replied with a smile "hehe", the baby's life was taken by the aunt, so you can give it up.

The sour apricot woman pondered for a moment, and replied, After taking over the many babies here, none of them cried louder than him, like ringing a bell. When I grow up, I'm sure I'll make some noise. Let's call it Zhong'er.

Everyone said that this name was good, and it sounded crisp and loud.

When escorting the xylophone back to the village, Lan Xiang insisted on going back together to help take care of the xylophone. She said, even if I am absent from work today, I have to go. Jin Lian also wanted to go back to help take care of it, but when she saw that Lan Xiang was one step ahead, she had no choice but to stay.

The stretcher that the men quickly tied up before the xylophone production still came in handy. Maolin's own brothers, Mao Qing and Mao Shan, carried the postpartum weak xylophone, and Lan Xiang held Zhong'er and escorted the xylophone mother and son back to the village with Mao Sheng.

After settling the xylophone mother and son, Mao Qing and Mao Shan hurried back to work. In the Mosheng Temple, he was busy boiling water and cooking.

Seeing that there was no one in the house, Xylophone asked Lan Xiang, why did she start with Jin Lian today.

Lan Xiang pursed her lips and replied disdainfully, who knows what kind of ugly thing she has done, it is embarrassing and disgusting.

Muqin said, what's the big deal, can't you say it, you have to roll up your arms and sleeves and fight. It's still a family and a concubine, and I'm not afraid of making outsiders laugh off their big teeth.

Lan Xiang replied, Hmph, there is a cheap thing that makes people laugh and have no place to look for big teeth, but it's not me.

- Why are you so yin and yang today, talking like a dumb riddle.

- This is not the time to talk about this. You lie down and rest. I still have some millet and eggs at home, which I can use to replenish your body. If you don't understand it now, you will understand it later.

After Lan Xiang finished speaking, she hurried home.

Xylophone guessed for a long time, but he still couldn't understand the strange tone of Lan Xiang's words. But there is one thing, she can feel that the matter between Lan Xiang and Jin Lian is not over yet, and I am afraid that the chaos is still to come. She was faintly worried, and then thought with relief that what else could go wrong, wasn't it just trivial things between concubines. When I got out of confinement, I would tear and tear for the two of them, and there was no knot that could not be solved.

A wave of sleepiness hit, and the xylophone flipped over and fell asleep in a daze.
