The woman looked at everyone with different expressions, and then "naughtily" elongated her voice and said, "It's a daughter." ”

This "daughter" is not like rolling thunder on the ground, even though many years have passed, Xia Xiucai and the brothers and sisters-in-law of the Xia family talked about that day. They all said: It has not rained in the village for many days, but on the day when the ninth girl in our family was born, there was a heavy thunderstorm, and the thunder was earth-shattering and deafening.

The mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in the village all said that they were confused, and it was drizzling that day, and it was dripping for two or three days. Since then, the weather has been smooth, and that year's harvest has been exceptionally good.

When Xiao Xia's mother-in-law gave birth to six sons, the husband and wife felt that this son was definitely enough, and it would be nice if this one was a girl. Unexpectedly, not only was this a son, but two boys followed.

Xia Xiucai often sighed and said to Xiao Xia's mother-in-law: "If you want to come here to give birth to a baby, you have to learn, you just haven't learned to give birth to a girl." At this time, Mrs. Xiao Xia said leisurely: "It's obvious that you didn't teach well." Then they glared at each other and walked away.

After so many years, the two no longer expect to have a caring daughter, but they didn't expect this daughter to come. For a while, Xia Xiucai didn't know how to be happy, and suddenly thought that her daughter had grown up to be as beautiful as Xiao Xia's mother-in-law when she was young, and suddenly remembered to reward the midwife, and suddenly called her grandson to play soju, and suddenly remembered that no one had told her son, so she hurriedly rushed to the delivery room, and several sons couldn't hold it, so she was quiet for a while, and then remembered to make a happy egg, and ran to the stove on tiptoe, until she and her sons were busy.

After the neighbors dispersed, Xia Xiucai had to sit in his room and drink two sips of wine. Thinking that he is in his forties, he can only be regarded as a child now. Suddenly remembered today's busy work, the midwife didn't seem to have rewarded yet, such a big happy event, forget about this and let people gossip, it's not good for my daughter to know. Thinking like this, he hurriedly jumped up again, shouting to the eldest daughter-in-law, go and reward the midwife.

Sister-in-law Xia had to hold back a smile and said, "I've already beaten it." If I listen to you, I'll give you seven or eight tips today.

Xia Xiucai listened, and sat back again. After thinking about it for a while, he pondered what to name his daughter! This nickname is naturally called Jiu'er. Although the girl's family should not be ranked with her brothers, he is full of this Jiu'er at this time, and the name will naturally follow his brother.

Thinking like this, I hated that I had so many sons in front of me, and I used up all the good names. I picked up the pen and thought about it for a while, but I felt that my head was empty, and I couldn't think of half a word.

After tossing like this for half a night, I suddenly remembered that the family was full of boys, and this girl's swaddling clothes had to look like a girl's swaddling clothes. I got up again, ran to the boss's room, and halfway through walking, I remembered that the boss was married to a daughter-in-law, and it was not good to go over so late.

Just stood under the boss's window, and after a moment of fluze, he turned to the door of the fifth child's room.

Lao Wu ran for most of the day, and just recovered from the news of "having a sister", he was waking up when he was half asleep when he was awakened by a knock on the door. He didn't care who he was, he just rolled over, lay down angrily, and pretended to be asleep. Xia Xiucai knocked twice more, and suddenly remembered that everyone should have fallen asleep at this time. When I looked at the door, I remembered one more thing.

When I think about it carefully, I feel more and more that this matter is more important than anything else, and I have to do it immediately. Thinking like this, he twisted his waist, and walked towards the fourth child, until he reached the door. I wondered how I could do something like a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, and I had to get a charter. In this way, he spun around like a top in this palm-sized courtyard for a long time, and then returned to his room.

The eldest daughter-in-law tilted her head and listened to the sound on the bed for a while, and when she heard the father-in-law close her own door, she snorted and lay down. poked his own man, "You look at your father tomorrow, if it weren't for me today, I would have to go out for seven or eight dollars just to reward Mrs. Lin." ”

Xia Cheng hummed casually, "Do you think we want to buy a nodding rope bead or something?"

Wang turned his head to look at Brother Xia's shining eyes, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while. Half a sound snorted and said, "The fetal hair hasn't fallen yet, what kind of bead flower head rope to bring." ”

Brother Xia smiled, and touched his hand down Sister-in-law Xia's neck, "Vanilla, let's give birth to a girl too." ”

Wang smacked at him, "Crazy!" The two of them fell asleep together without mentioning it.

Lao Wu was lying on the bed board, and he couldn't stand and wanted to open the door, but he didn't expect the person who knocked on the door outside to leave by himself. I had to lie down again in a huff. After such a toss, I went to sleep, and I couldn't sleep. I just lay there and thought, this has an extra sister, do you want to buy some rouge gouache or something tomorrow? It's hard for the brothers to get along with him, how can this sister love him

In this way, I thought of the little girl in the shopkeeper of the lamp oil shop in the city. The shopkeeper and his wife were still empty in middle age, so they passed on a daughter of a distant relative. Xu has a rough life, and although the little girl is young, she can stand up to things. Fifth Brother Xia has been thinking about this girl for some time.

Third Brother Xia was lying in the room with his daughter-in-law, and he also said that he wanted to add something to his sister. It's just that Xia Sange is mostly talking to himself. As soon as he said a word, Sister-in-law Xia snorted heavily. They usually live behind the shops in the city, and this house is just a temporary change of the study of the fifth and sixth children to their small residence. Because of this, it is a lot farther away from the main house, but I don't have to worry about disturbing others.

Xia Laosi couldn't sleep at this time, staring at Fang Liang, "Xiuxiu, how about you say I will give my little sister a cradle?" At that time, I will add a reel underneath, and my mother can also push it out and put it in the yard. ”

Fourth sister-in-law Xia leaned her head on Fourth Brother Xia's shoulder and grinned, "I think it's good, I can also make a small flower futon." When the little sister is put inside, it must be the only one in our village. ”

Saying this, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I never thought it was my sister before, I didn't prepare for the little clothes or anything, I just thought it would be good to use the eighth child." ”

"Well, I don't have to worry about the rain if I put an umbrella on it. Fourth Brother Xia is still pondering his sister's cradle.

Xia Si's sister-in-law listened to it, and she was happy with a pop, "You are really a stupid melon, it is raining, who will put the little baby outside." ”

Fourth Brother Xia couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.

The two of them couldn't help laughing, were silent for a while, and then said in unison, "You can block the sun." The two couldn't help but laugh for a while, and then slowly fell asleep.

Brother Xia Liu and Brother Xia Qi were sleeping together. Now that Xiao Xia has just given birth to a daughter, Xia Bugs and several nephews have also been sent over. A few little babies were lying on the makeshift bed, and the bigger sixth brother and the bolted feet were hanging outside. Sixth Brother Xia is the oldest, and at this time, he is pretending to be old and rubbing his head against Brother Xia, "In the future, you will also be an elder brother, you must take good care of your sister." ”

Bugs Xia immediately straightened his small chest, "This is natural, I have already packed up all my gadgets for my sister to play with." ”

The seventh brother also came over, "I saved a lot of delicious food and left it for my sister." ”

The eldest nephew, who was the eldest, shook his head on the side and said, "Your little aunt can't eat those things." ”

For a while, several boys looked at Xia Liuge and Zhu'er with sparkling eyes, Xia Liuge clenched his hand into a fist and gently pressed it against his upper lip in the same way as Xia Xiucai, coughed and cleared his throat. "I've heard that the dog of the Black Skin family has just given birth, and that milk sister will definitely be able to drink it. ”

So, the three brothers, the eldest nephew and the second nephew of the eldest sister-in-law's family, and the third nephew of the third sister-in-law's family got together and discussed how to get some dog milk at Heipi's house tomorrow. I'm planning how to do this for a long time.

Xia Xiucai went back to the house and took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, ticked and wrote, and it was worth writing until dawn, and then he wrote what he thought in his heart. I didn't feel tired, so I took the paper and walked into the hall, and sat there slowly waiting for my sons and daughters-in-law to get up, and these big things must be discussed with them.

When the fourth sister-in-law got up in the morning and was about to go to the stove to make a fire to cook, she saw her father-in-law sitting at the table, holding a few pieces of paper in one hand and sleeping soundly with his head in the other. Hurriedly let a few jumping monkey-like boys blast out of the yard, so as not to wake Xia Xiucai up.

Tiptoeing to make breakfast like this, the fourth brother carefully woke Xia Xiucai up. Xia Xiucai somehow, not only did he lose yesterday's happiness, but his face was a little melancholy. After eating breakfast listlessly, he shrugged his eyebrows and walked out of the courtyard. The head of the family was so unhappy that he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak out for a while, and only looked at Xia Xiucai. Lao Xia's mother-in-law still couldn't look at it, so she called him and said: "Your daughter-in-law just gave birth to a child, and you don't look happy, where are you going this morning?" ”

Xia Xiucai sighed when he looked at Tian'er, and sighed again in the middle of the sound. When he raised his head again, his eyes were red, and he looked at his old lady and said in a choked voice: "I just dreamed that Jiu'er had grown up." looks more beautiful than her daughter-in-law when she was young, like a flower like jade. I taught her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and my daughter-in-law taught her a female red family. ”

For a while, his son and daughter-in-law looked at him blankly, and he thought that he was eighteen years old the next night after he was born, and he really didn't know what to say about him.

Xia Xiucai also ignored others, took another long breath, and her eyes were filled with tears: "Many families in the village want to marry her, and then she happily marries away." ”

When Mrs. Xia heard this, she patted her thigh and happily received: "This is a good thing!"

Xia Xiucai half-tilted her head and sighed with great resentment: "She didn't even look back at her father --- me, and left so happily." ”

"Mother, you don't know how happy she looks. ”

"Mother, she didn't even look back. ”

"Mother"

"Alright, alright. So many children are looking at it, mother, mother, like a soul. Mrs. Xia patted her son. I also thought astringently: This daughter is very spoiled at home, but one day she will get married, and when that day comes, she will be as uncomfortable as digging out her heart and liver.

The sister-in-law hurriedly diverted the conversation when she heard this, "It's as if his father is also happy, and he said last night that he would buy some silk flowers for the ninth sister." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they thought of the baby's bare head, but it diluted the depression just now.

At this mention, Xia Xiucai also remembered many plans last night, and hurriedly took the pages and called a few sons over to discuss.

"What?!, I want to build an embroidery building. "Third Brother Xia's eyes are big lanterns.

"Jiu'er is a girl. The girl's family naturally wants to live in the embroidery building. ”

"What does the embroidery house look like? No one in the village has ever seen it. The fourth brother said very academically, and turned his head to look at the third sister-in-law. "Third sister-in-law, you are from the city, tell me what this embroidery building should look like. ”

Xia San's sister-in-law was pouting disappreciatively, when she suddenly saw everyone's eyes shooting over, and forcibly turned the mockery at the corner of her mouth into a solemn contemplation. "Embroidered building, ha, embroidered building"
