Chapter 3 Momoka picks up the baby
"Mother-in-law, I heard that the production is going to be divided into households, is this true?"
Wang Hongying, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family, asked worriedly about her mother-in-law who was busy feeding the chickens in the yard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Except for the eldest daughter, who is older and can help do a little easier work, the other few are not laborers who can work in the field.
Her mother-in-law didn't raise her head, and there was a little impatience in her tone: "When the family was separated yesterday, didn't your father-in-law say it very clearly! Now everywhere they are learning, and they have to divide the fields into households. ”
The mother-in-law of the Liu family knew that the eldest daughter-in-law was anxious, and her family had many children and little labor, so Xin Tianxin would not be able to come at that time. Originally, she also wanted to take her eldest son's family for a few years, and then split up when the children grew up and could help with the work. It's a pity that the old man hates that his eldest daughter-in-law only gave birth to a grandson, and then they are all girls. He gritted his teeth when he saw those granddaughters, he couldn't strangle a few, if he hadn't worked in a large collective, he was afraid that he would have separated his eldest son's family a long time ago, where could he wait until now?!
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family closed her mouth in frustration, picked up the big broom made of bamboo seedlings leaning on the chicken coop, walked to the top of the yard and began to sweep up. She had just swept halfway when she heard her mother-in-law screaming angrily at the gate of the courtyard: "You dead girl, why did you bring other people's children to the house?
As soon as she heard this, she knew that her daughter was in trouble, and she hurriedly threw down the big broom in her hand and ran to the gate of the courtyard, and saw the little girl who should put a goose behind the Zhuangzi in her own house, standing at the door with her head bowed, and a bamboo basket at her feet, and a baby wrapped in an adult's jacket was lying in the basket.
Her little girl is only five years old this year, and she can't do anything else, so she can only help the family put geese and dig wild vegetables to feed the chickens. I didn't expect the child to go out early in the morning and drag a child back! The eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family blinked vigorously, she thought, maybe she was dazzled.
Like a landlord, the little girl standing at the door with her head down is called Liu Taoxiang, the youngest daughter of Wang Hongying, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family. Early in the morning, as usual, he drove the three geese to the big ditch behind Zhuangzi to eat aquatic plants, and he carried his basket to look for wild vegetables in the rape ditch on the side. In a corner of the field, on the mound where the team specially burned dung, I saw the baby that Gu Qingling couldn't bear to drown and put on the mound after all. She put the baby in the basket, and the goose didn't care, so she half-dragged the basket home.
Grandma scolded angrily, although Momoka looked pitiful with her head down, she was not afraid at all. At a young age, she knew that no matter how angry her grandmother was, she would only scold them loudly and rarely hit them. Seeing her mother come out, she raised her head and grinned at her mother: "Mom! look, I have a younger brother, I picked up my younger brother and came back, and the old man (zi three sounds, grandpa's meaning) is happy, and he won't hate us." ”
Wang Hongying's tears ran out very unhappily, and her grandmother also asked her little granddaughter to tell her a burst of sadness. He pressed his throat and took the baby out of the basket.
"Momoxiang! This hairy boy was really picked up by you, didn't someone put it in the field and went to work in the field by yourself?"
Grandma meant: This child may be an adult digging wild vegetables in the field, putting the child on the field, and then taking the child home when the wild vegetables are dug up.
It is not like some places where women take their children to the fields, and they will make a basket or carry a bag on their backs to carry the children to work. Here the women take the children to the fields, and they usually put the children on the ridges and let the children play on their own, and they work in the fields while looking up at the children on the ridges from time to time. Therefore, the grandmother of the Liu family has this question, at this time, it is not yet time to strictly grasp family planning, and no one's children will be discarded casually. Just like when Momoka was born, her grandfather was so angry that he didn't think about throwing the child away.
Momoka was five years old and could understand what her grandmother meant, so she shook her head: "There is no one in that field, and there is no one in the field next to it." If you don't believe it, you can ask Daqinzi who is herding geese with me, and she has seen it too!"
Wang Hongying didn't care whether the child was picked up or not, because she found that the child had not cried or made trouble for so long, and there was no reaction at all, so she was a little worried. He stretched out his index finger and put it under the child's nose and tried it, and said to his mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law, I'm afraid this child is not very good, you go to Aunt Jiang's house (the midwife here) to have a look, and ask her who she has delivered the child to in the past two days." I hurriedly washed the child, and after washing, he took it to Da Rong and asked Da Rong to feed him. ”
The eldest daughter-in-law was right, her mother-in-law handed the child to the eldest daughter-in-law and advised: "Taoxiang's used small clothes and diapers, I took them out and washed and dried them for a few days, they were originally prepared for Mingfeng (her second daughter-in-law), and now they can be used for this child." I'll go to Mujiageng to find Lao Jiang and ask!"
After the grandmother of the Liu family finished talking to her eldest daughter-in-law, she shouted at Taoxiang: "You hurry up and go to the trench to see the goose, if you lose the goose, see if I don't pick your skin!"
Momoka originally wanted to see her mother bathe the little brother she had picked up, but when she heard her grandmother say to watch the geese, she remembered that she still had a great responsibility on her shoulders!
Wang Hongying took the child to boil water, she was not happy because Taoxiang said that she was a younger brother, it was not a child born by herself, even if it was a man? It is conceivable that the father-in-law likes boys only because of his own, and not just any boy will want it.
When I unwrapped the child's jacket and tied the rope to bathe the child, I found out that it was a girl. When I was bathing the child, the child finally made a faint "mia!mia!" sound like a newborn kitten. Wang Hongying's heart was twitched by this pitiful cry, and while gently scrubbing, she stroked the child with her palm, and muttered in her mouth: "Good baby wash clean, white and fat is the most pleasing!"
Zhu Chengrong is Wang Hongying's cousin-in-law, and the two families are separated by more than five clothes, but they both live in a Zhuangzi, which is closer than the family that lives in the distance. She saw her sister-in-law coming over with a child in her arms, and asked curiously: "Sister-in-law Hongying, why didn't you have a baby when I didn't see you! This is too scary of people, right?"
"What are you talking nonsense! This is my birth, my Momoka put geese in the ditch behind herd, and brought back the children who were put on the ground. My mother-in-law went to ask Aunt Jiang, and if she knew whose child it was, she sent it to others. I'm going to come and ask you for milk for this kid now!
"Yes! My son has been eating for a while, and now he is a little swollen, you hurry up and give it to me, and I will feed her." ”
Wang Hongying cautiously transferred the child to Zhu Chengrong's hands and reminded: "This child doesn't look very good, when you feed it, you can see that the child can be energetic, if you are energetic, it is okay, if you don't bring energy, it will be troublesome! I just fed her two small spoons of boiled water, and she didn't drink it much, and she tossed it a lot!"
Zhu Chengrong looked down at the child feeding for a while, and then looked up and said to his cousin-in-law: "It's okay! I may not be able to feed at first, but after grinding twice, I can wrap up milk at this time!"
Wang Hongying breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good! If I don't raise a kitten and a puppy, I feel uncomfortable, and if this child can't be raised well, then I will feel guilty." ”
"Sister-in-law Hongying, you don't have to worry, as long as the aunt asks who the child is and sends it back, I don't think the child will be fine for three or four days." ”
"Oh, I hope this child isn't discarded!"
Wang Hongying has an indescribable worry in her heart, I don't know if she is worried about the overweight burden she is about to face or worried about the baby's unknown life?!
