When she came here, she knew that the grain chief was a scholar, and she wanted to get her two sons over to enlightenment, but no matter how she befriended her, people didn't respond much, Zhang Chang was seven years old, she steamed two large pots of white flour steamed buns, almost used the surplus grain of the New Year, and sent them to the grain chief's house, and they received the steamed buns, only gave the boss a name, and never mentioned that she wanted her children to go to him to study. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

She thrashed a few times, her hands were numb, and her stomach was also violently shaken, and the sweat on her back suddenly came out of pain, and with the heavy feeling of falling, she proportioned it, knowing that this night could not be over, but she did not expect that the child was going to come out at night. While asking Zhang Sheng to go next door to call his second aunt to come over to help, he asked Zhang Chang to spread a straw mat, and said to Zhang Qi, who was at a loss: "You go to the stove to take a look, there is a noodle that I Ming'er is preparing for pancakes, I cook it for me, I am hungry, and I can't eat it." ”

Zhang Qi helped her to the bed, hurriedly boiled hot water out, left half of the pot on the stove, and brought the rest. Zhang Qin, who was next door, also hurried over, and when he entered the house, he saw that he was really going to give birth, and went back to get scissors and candles or something, drove out the two and a half big boys, brought the noodles brought by Zhang Qi in, and asked them to wait outside.

Wang's low moans sounded in the house, Zhang Qi's heart went up and down, Zhang Chang and Zhang Sheng, the two energetic boys on weekdays, also shrank their heads, especially Zhang Sheng, even the favorite spinning top on weekdays was thrown aside, and only looked into the house.

"Huh-" Zhang Sheng's ears suddenly moved, and said, "Brother, listen, why are our chickens crowing?"

Zhang Qi and Zhang Chang listened to it, it was really a little rare, and the rooster that had been raised at home for two years suddenly crowed at this time, and it crowed very loudly one after another. They all looked at the bright moon above their heads, you know, this Luhua chicken has never been chirping at dawn, and has never chirped in the middle of the moon.

Before I had time to see what was wrong with the rooster, there was a rush and complicated footsteps at the door, and the next second the door was smashed: "Uncle Qi, open the door quickly, what's going on at your house?"

When Zhang Qi heard that it was from the village, he hurriedly opened the door, and an old man led by him was still out of breath, and when he came in and looked up, he was stunned: "No, isn't your house burning?" He was followed by twelve or thirteen villagers who came in a hurry, everyone was holding buckets and bamboo poles in their hands, and they were all stunned when they came in.

The first was Zhang Manchu's house in the easternmost part of their village, he got up at night to go to the thatched pit, saw a burst of fire in the west, and was so frightened that he trembled, and called out the loud mother-in-law, and the two of them put on their clothes and went outside to call someone to put out the fire. Running all the way, most of the people in the village were awakened, and when they went out, they saw that half of the sky was really red, and hurriedly took a bucket to draw water to put out the fire.

Once a fire breaks out in the village, everyone in the village must do their best to put out the fire, because the fire is fierce, if the wind will burn all the way over, if it is not extinguished in time, the whole village may be burned down. When they saw the fire in the west of the village, after confirming that it was the direction of Zhang Qi's house, everyone in the village rushed over to help put out the fire.

"Where is the fire?" Zhang Qi also thought it was too funny, and said: "My mother-in-law is inside, and she is going to give birth to a baby!"

One after another, the villagers rushed over, and they were very surprised to see that there was no fire in front of them, except for the louder and louder cries in the room.

"I obviously saw the sky-high fire here, why is there no trace at all?"

"It's really strange, looking at the direction is here, we all saw it with our own eyes, and I thought it had burned a few houses......"

At first, Zhang Qi thought that Zhang Manchu was teasing everyone, after all, this guy's mouth was indeed a little unreliable, but when he saw everyone saying this, they all said that they had seen it with their own eyes, and his heart was inexplicable. In the noisy sound, a loud cry suddenly came from the house, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, and after a while, I saw Qin Shi push open the door and said: "I gave birth to a girl, white and clean, how can I have six catties, when the father came to take a look." ”

Zhang Qi was overjoyed, he didn't lack a son, he gave birth to a girl who fell into his arms, confessed his guilt and went into the house to see his baby daughter, leaving most of the men, women and children in the courtyard looking at each other, all feeling incredible.

Zhang Qi made a small cotton mattress, wrapped the child in it, carefully looked at the child's facial features, looked at it for a long time and grinned: "How do you look good." Although Wang had just given birth, she was in good spirits, and she had already heard the noise outside, so she asked what was going on. Zhang Qi was vague, and Qin brought her a bowl of brown sugar egg soup from under the stove, and after drinking it, she was wrapped in the quilt to rest.

Zhang Qi placed the child and said to the Qin family: "His aunt has been busy all night, it is really hard, please go back and rest, and I will visit home tomorrow." Qin knew what he meant, and waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, I know that your chicken got a litter a few days ago, you can just bring me a pair over, and I also covet your chicken that lays eggs." ”

Compared with Zhang Qi's original plan of thank-you gift of half a bag of noodles, the two chickens are really nothing, because the chickens also need to eat food when they grow up, and Zhang Qiyuan does not plan to keep so many.

When he went to the door, he found that not only did the people not disperse, but they became more and more numerous, and it was actually the chief of the grain who came.

"Why is your old man also alarmed?" Zhang Qi hurriedly put him into the stone bench in the courtyard and sat down, and stood aside respectfully to listen to the training. For farmers, scholars are inherently worthy of awe, not to mention that the person in front of them is still a scholar who is over the age of sixteen and holds real power.

"There is a fire in the village, and every family is running, and I also see the fire on your house," the grain chief paused slightly: "After coming over, they all told me that your house did not catch fire, but there was a girl, is that so?"

Zhang Qi nodded and said, "That's the case." I don't know why, it's my sin to cause everyone to be alarmed. ”

"I gave birth to a girl," the grain chief tapped the stone mill with two knuckles, and said after a while: "This girl of your family is in good spirits, and it has attracted everyone to come to see her. ”

Zhang Qi naturally agreed, and the people in the village also burst into laughter, and they all came to joke. The grain chief waved his hand to let everyone disperse, and when he saw that there was only one Zhang Qi left in the courtyard, he suddenly said: "Don't take your baby's name lightly, I'll think of one for her when the moon is full." ”

Zhang Qi was speechless in surprise, and the grain chief didn't say much, but said: "The female doll should be raised carefully, and next year's summer tax will give you a whole liter, and the fraction will be exempted." If there is anything you need in your house, come to me and ask for it. ”

After sending off the grain chief, Zhang Qi returned to the house, remembering what happened before and after tonight, his heart was quite strange, and he couldn't help but gently poke his daughter's bulging cheeks, and said, "You are a blessing." ”

When the grain chief returned home by moonlight, his wife welcomed him in and asked what was the matter. He had something in his heart, so he asked his wife to put out the candle, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep peacefully, and sighed in his heart: "I have heard that a great man has come to the world, and there will be a vision, and I have read deeply, and I have not believed it, but I don't want to hear and see it today, and his home is clearly on fire, and the neighbors see it, and they are all shocked to think that it is a fire, and they run to save each other, but there is nothing." ”

"How can I be born a girl, if it is a man, I bow and raise it, I will make the general enter the phase, what does a woman do? The grain chief thought about it: "No matter what, the bell of creation must be very much, and it must not be let go." ”

Thinking so, he finally fell asleep.
