In the early 90s, although many mature fir and pine trees were cut down in the mountainous areas, the vegetation in the mountains was not damaged much, especially since large-scale afforestation had not yet been carried out, so it was difficult for flash floods to develop into floods.

The flood did not occur, but there are still many roads and landslides that have been washed away by the flood. Li Chuanlin locked his motorcycle to the side of the road and walked along the flood-ridden road, sometimes even climbing the mountain with his companions, and finally arrived at Luofang, more than 20 miles away.

Bodhisattva blessed, Luofang people dare to make the house at the confluence of the two rivers, naturally they have their thoughtful consideration, more than a dozen mud houses are safe and sound, but the turbid waves in the river are monstrous, and the rumbling sound of the flood is scared to death.

"Chuanlin, did Sister Feng give birth?"

Li Chuanlin, who was hungry and thirsty, changed into clean clothes that his uncle did not fit, and sat there not wanting to move.

"Mom, I don't know, Xiang Feng and I are worried about you, so we came here when we got in bed. ”

The mother-in-law who was hunched on her back changed a cup of bee sugar water for her son-in-law, which was given to her by her last time when her little niece and granddaughter came to live with her daughter, and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about? I don't keep my wife and give birth to people, and you still come here to watch the fun? I have been married for more than 40 years, and no matter how big the water is, nothing has happened!"

The people in the mountains are not as polite as the people in the city, and when Zhang Xiangfeng's eldest brother and second brother heard that their sister had launched, they didn't care about continuing to greet their brother-in-law, and hurriedly went to get the caught chicken.

"Second brother, I'll go to the countryside first, and you can wait for Lin Xie to come later. Mom, the water on the road is big and collapsed, don't go. ”

"I know, you go quickly, what are you still suffering?"

"Hey", Zhang Xiangsong, who had already carried the back of six chickens, immediately went out, Chongxiang people are particular, and the daughter's mother wants to send six chickens, which means smooth and smooth, and the mother and child are safe.

After eating a big bowl of egg noodles, Li Chuanlin, who had rested enough, also hurriedly went out with his second uncle, and he was also nervous about his wife, but he couldn't help his wife who was worried about his family. Now that my mother-in-law's family is fine, I naturally have to rush to my home in a hurry, but seven or eight years ago, I was careless and didn't go to the hospital to give birth in order to save money, which made a lifelong mistake!

After another more than three hours of trekking, Li Chuanlin, who was so tired that his feet were weak, finally heard the sound of firecrackers at the gate of the township health center, and the whole person seemed to be full of strength, and instantly threw the troubles of losing more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan to the back of his mind, and staggered to the delivery room on the second floor.

"Congratulations"

"yes, I'm a sister!"

The little sister who rushed over knocked Li Chuanlin, who was already physically exhausted, to the ground, and panicked so much that she immediately dragged it.

"yes, are you alright?

"It's okay, it's okay", Li Chuanlin got up with his uncle's hand and rubbed his daughter's head.

"Brother or sister?"

"Sister, he, she doesn't look good at all, she's dirty, and even her hair is curly. Sister Man said that her sister is like a little mouse. ”

It's really a child's words, which newborn child will be good-looking?

There are many rules for giving birth to children in the mountains, and men are not allowed to enter the delivery room until the three dynasties. Li Chuanlin, who was overjoyed, could only hug his newborn daughter at the door, the pink baby was crying, the skin on his face was still a little wrinkled, and the screaming was really loud.

After waiting for the silly little uncle to hug for a while, the happy second aunt hugged the child and teased: "Have you seen enough, hurry up and go home to take a bath, change your clothes, look at you like this, like a muddy pig!"

"Hey, hey, hey".

The arrival of the new family members made Li Jiaming's family happy and washed away the dark clouds of heavy losses. But three days later, Zhang Xiangfeng, who had a towel tied to his forehead, returned home with the child in his arms, and after receiving the congratulations from his family and neighbors, he began to urge his husband who was teasing the child to start work from the side after eating the 'Three Dynasty Wine'.

"Chuanlin, the road to the county will definitely not be open for a week, what should I do in the factory?"

This is the right thing, Boss Huang's goods must be rushed out within a month, but his wife just gave birth to a child and left? Li Chuanlin, who was happy, was a little in a dilemma, his son himself knew that it was no problem to respect his wife, and it was no problem to respect his wife's family.

Going to the ancestral hall to report the good news is a big event, although there are no elders who are not allowed to open the ancestral hall, but once the ancestral hall is opened, it means solemnity and money - three animal sacrifices, five-color fruits, and a flowing water banquet. Generally, only when the eldest son of the eldest son of the long house grows grandchildren and the eldest grandson gives birth to great-great-grandchildren, the ancestral hall will be opened to give good news to the ancestors. Of course, if the children and grandchildren are admitted to the university, they must go to the ancestral hall to report the good news.

I am just a daughter who got married and gave birth to a daughter, and I want to open an ancestral hall to report the good news?

Just as he picked up the child who began to cry, Zhang Xiangfeng, who was about to breastfeed, became anxious when he heard it, and scolded in a low voice: "What? My eldest brother asked you to go to the ancestral hall to report the good news, he is sick in the brain, right?"

Li Chuanlin, who was dissatisfied, sighed and said helplessly: "What can I do, your brother has opened his mouth, can I still say no? He also said that he wanted to go to our factory to do things, but I didn't dare to agree." ”

"Did you say yes?"

"Am I stupid? If Wanwan is admitted to the university in the future, it will be almost the same if I want to go to your Zhang family ancestral hall to report the good news. I said I'll talk to you when you get home. ”

Zhang Xiangfeng breathed a sigh of relief, opened his clothes to breastfeed his daughter, and whispered: "You don't care about these things, go to Tonggu to start work early." All the money in the house is pressed in the factory, if Boss Huang is not accommodating, he will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die this time!"

His wife was on his side, Li Chuanlin also felt sorry for his wife, and took the initiative to give in: "I know, I know, I'm worried about going to report the good news, you can stop the opening of the ancestral hall, and the joy still has to be officially reported, this is your decency." If we don't report the good news and don't invite wine, our relatives and friends will gossip in the future!

Hey, the road is not good now, your house, grandfather, mother-in-law, and aunt, once you report it, you won't be able to finish it in five or six days. Also, when you go to the elders, you always have to eat a meal, right? After eating a meal, the elders will be forced to drink a few glasses of wine, and they won't be able to run away for a day!"

This is really troublesome, the seven brothers and sisters of my mother, the three maternal uncles are easy to do, and the three aunts are scattered in various villages in Chongxiang. Now the road is in a mess, and you have to climb the mountain with your things, how can it be so easy? Time waits for no one, today is the third day, if it is delayed for another five or six days, those goods can still be rushed?

After worrying for a while, Zhang Xiangfeng, who had a good face, still decided to ask her husband to call her stepson to report the good news, hinting: "Don't worry about the things in the house, you weren't in the house before, and Jiaming can manage it differently? With the second sister-in-law and Wenwen here, what else are you worried about? ”

Speaking of his stubborn son, Li Chuanlin sighed and said with a wry smile: "Hey, you don't know Ming Yan's temperament, if he doesn't want to do anything, I can't do anything about him." Hey, when we were in the church, he sat alone in front of Yuemei's grave for a day. ”

With such a reminder, Zhang Xiangfeng, who was breastfeeding the child, also sighed, his stepson was fine with everything that day, but his bones revealed the pride and indifference that were well covered. Don't look at him as warm and polite to everyone, even to his two brothers, but I occasionally feel that there is a faint sense of looking down in his eyes, especially when he is alone in a daze. That's right, just like when I used to work part-time, those bosses and executives looked at their working girls, it was a feeling of big people looking down on small people.

'Knock knock', a sound of footsteps came, the door was pushed open hard, the little sister ran in and climbed on top of her father, looked at her sister who was breastfeeding, and rejoiced: "Sister Man is deceiving, my sister is much better-looking." Yes, my brother asked me to tell you that Uncle Zhang had two truckloads of goods in the forest farm on the outskirts of the city, and he told Uncle Zhang that you should drag them to the factory for use first, and the money would be calculated later.

yes, what kind of goods does Uncle Zhang sell in Tonggu? Candy or motorcycles? I haven't seen him open a shop?"

As soon as the curious little sister finished speaking, the chubby Manmei and Jin Mei also ran in, panting, this child has to lose weight.

"Third uncle, fifth brother talk about it, he said that you just go to Tonggu, and he will do the things in the house. ”

Gui Mei, who was much older, also followed in and corrected: "That's not what I said, the fifth brother said, he will help you report the good news." He said that the things in the factory can't be delayed, and it is a favor for people to delay us for a month, if we miss other people's affairs, Uncle Lin will not only lose money but also lose his reputation. ”

The stepson was so powerful that his husband and wife had a thought, so he gave a decent answer, and Zhang Xiangfeng, who was breastfeeding, looked at her husband with a wry smile. Li Chuanlin, who was holding his eldest daughter in his arms, also smiled bitterly, since Ming Yan fell that time, it seemed to be a different person, if it wasn't for his own cub, he would have thought it was an adult.

"It's okay, no matter how smart Ming Yan is, he is also my cub. ”

This is true, Li Jiaming's mind is more mature than his father, but he is still a good son and a filial son in front of him. borrowed two truckloads of timber from Zhang Weimin and sent a few younger sisters who were watching the video home, while Li Jiaming was helping his father again.

Zhang Xiangsong asked Li Jiaming's father to open an ancestral hall to announce the good news, just to show off to the villagers about his brother-in-law who would make a lot of money, and to cover up the scandal of his third brother's disgrace. But his brain is too stupid and too selfish, he only thinks about his own needs, but he doesn't think about the priorities of his sister and brother-in-law.

Hmph, if you give birth to a niece, you will open an ancestral hall, and those who are admitted to college must not dig up their ancestors and bury them again?

Idiot!

Such a fool will definitely make a lot of requests in the future, and Li Jiaming will definitely not take care of it, but he doesn't want his father to be embarrassed by those two fools, and he doesn't want those two fools to return home and ruin his family's reputation after being rejected. The Zhang Weimin in front of him is also the Zhang family of Luofang, he has status and prestige in the village, and he calls someone to be his uncle every day, so he has to let this uncle usually look at those two fools, and say something fair when something happens.

Zhang Weimin is very satisfied with Li Jiaming, who takes his son to study and teaches his son to learn to be a man, and he gives more money for the New Year than for his nephew, and now he is happy when he hears his worries.

"Just those two stupid guys? Hehe, Jia Ming, they have a person in the house. Xiang Song and Xiang Gui, the two fools, forget it, do you believe what they say?

Xiang Feng has been working outside for more than four years, and he sends money back every few months. Those two stupid ducks boast that their sister has a conscience in the village every day, and in the end they marry Xiang Feng, and even the dowry is sent by the people!"

"What? They have a reputation in the village?"

"What do you think? Jiaming, you have prestige among your sisters, how dare those girls say something bad in front of you?"

Yes, Li Jiaming also laughed dumbly, those guys can't pat themselves on the back, how can they chew their tongues in their ears?
