Since receiving the reservation of 300 boxes of biscuits from Yamen, the family has been really busy for a few days, saying that the delivery will be made on the 23rd of the lunar month, and the party is ready to come out in advance, and on the 21st night of the lunar month, Lin Xiucai took the initiative to come to the door with the gifts, and settled the silver on the spot.

This time to deal with, Mo Xiaohe has a new understanding of Lin Xiucai, if he does not take the scientific examination, opening a shop and doing business is also a rare talent, he said that his ambition is not to study, Shinong industry and commerce, business is the last, and businessmen are lowly, so they have to follow the wishes of their parents.

The two only said a few words, Mo Xiaohe speculated from Lin Xiucai's tone and demeanor that this person has unique opinions, is not very narrow-minded, but not broad-minded, and thinks that women should be virtuous and virtuous, and teach their husbands and children at home, and he does not value appearance.

Sending Lin Xiucai away, the family breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Zheng Mo Xiaohe and his wife cleaned up the stove together, wiped the stove, filled the empty bottles and jars with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and put the salted fish, bacon, and dried chili peppers hanging under the eaves into baskets and hung them on the beams under the windows.

In the evening, the sky was very overcast, and there were tiny snowflakes floating in the sky, sparsely falling, and when I grabbed them with my hands, before I could see the edges and corners of the snowflakes, they turned into water.

Before the Chinese New Year, the family changed greatly, from the door to the main house, paved a bluestone path, curtains, gauze tents, bed sheets and bedding were all changed, Aunt Zhang couldn't help much, she was afraid of the cold, so she hid in the house and gave the family soles.

"It's cold, I'm going to lay a layer of straw on the chicken coop."

Gu Zheng saw that it was getting dark, and hurriedly walked out of the stove. The family eats eggs and goes to the market to buy, Aunt Zhang feels that it is too wasteful, she raises a few hens at home, and the eggs are completely self-sufficient, and there is a rooster left to crow.

The yard is too quiet on weekdays, and I wake up in the morning listening to the sound of chickens, and finally have a warm sense of life, although I hate, Mo Xiaohe didn't put forward any opinions, anyway, keep it outside the house, and clean it up diligently.

Because of the preparation for the New Year, Li Xiu only came to help for one day, in the morning the eldest uncle Wen came to deliver sugar cakes, and Mo Xiaohe talked about Li Xiu, only a few days, Li Xiu lost weight again, her face was blue, her lips were abnormally pale, Wen was busy, she didn't have time to pay attention to her daughter, and when she noticed people, she was very distressed, it was all her negligence as a mother.

Seeing that Wen's face was worried, but there was no other expression, Mo Xiaohe was sure, her cousin had not confessed to her eldest aunt, and after the New Year, her cousin was a year older, and in the village, there seemed to be few people in the village who had not yet married at her age.

The family affair was full of twists and turns before, the Wen family was heartbroken, who expected that the New Year was approaching, and her daughter suddenly fell ill, she was worried that the Lin family would come to the door, and when she saw it, she was afraid that she would have other thoughts, who would like to marry a sick daughter-in-law?

Mo Xiaohe let out a low sigh, Gu Zheng immediately turned his head, he patted the grass clippings in his hand, and asked softly, "Or are you worried about that matter?" ”

"Heart disease still needs heart medicine, and I am afraid that this heart disease cannot be cured."

has always been preoccupied, if he deceived Lin Xiucai on the wedding night, with Li Xiu's temperament, he would inevitably feel guilty, live carefully, and carry a burden for the rest of his life.

Mo Xiaohe wanted to help and instill some modern female ideas in her cousin, but she didn't, she had her own ideas, but she couldn't tell anyone about it, in this era, deviant people will not end well.

There must also be a limit to helping others, the premise is to protect herself, just if she is selfish, she doesn't want to dismiss Li Xiu by herself, Wen got the news, what does she think of her, she even thinks that she was molested in her childhood, and her cousin should tell her aunt, not her, she has a lot of secrets in her heart, and people will also be under pressure.

Gu Zheng nodded in agreement, none of the relatives in the family made people worry, his biological mother, not to mention, husband and wife sympathize with each other, and it is not easy for each other to understand each other better.

A few days later, the family officially began to buy New Year's goods, the officials were satisfied with the biscuit gift box, and Lin Shuang sent a small basket of apples to the door, with fresh skin, and the freshly picked general.

In winter, the season of apple ripening has long passed, and ordinary people do not store it, and the shops buy all the wrinkled appearance and loss of moisture, this kind of fresh goods is indeed rare.

Mo Xiaohe didn't take advantage of it, and gave a homemade sausage as a gift in return. Cut the sausage into thin slices, add green beans, shiitake mushrooms, some seasonings, and rice together, the fragrance is overflowing, no other side dishes are needed, Gu Zheng can eat three bowls.

After a few days of sausages at home, the New Year's chicken, duck, fish and other food preparations were ready, and Mo Xiaohe prepared two baskets of New Year's goods and went to his cousin Mo Daya's house.

"Cousin, I'm here!"

Mo Xiaohe shouted in front of the door, and Mo Daya immediately responded, she looked behind her cousin curiously, "Why didn't your husband come today?" ”

Since Mo Xiaohe was kidnapped by Li Er, Gu Zheng didn't say anything on the surface, but he showed in action, he often followed behind her, and felt relieved to see her enter the door.

Mo Daya rolled her eyes, living in the same town, walking for a quarter of an hour, what could happen? She didn't dare to express her opinion, but it was strange to see Gu Zheng not here today.

"It's not that I'm not here, I'm going to Brother Xu's."

Mo Xiaohe pursed his lips and smiled, Xu Tietou and Mo Daya were born enemies, as long as they met, they had to quarrel, Xu Tietou had money, drove his cousin's family away, bought the house at a high price, and lived with her.

"Xiaohe, you were busy a few days ago, and I didn't help."

Mo Daya explained that her little sister before she got married learned that she was in a bad situation and introduced her to a job. The surrounding Ningjia Village has been rich in land and wealth, and in the past 20 years, he has given birth to nine daughters, and last year he accepted a beautiful concubine, which can be regarded as continuing the incense for him.

"Ning landlord likes to be a father, set up a three-day flowing water banquet, I went to help make steamed buns, got dozens of catties of rice grain, and gave twenty-five copper plates a day."

Mo Daya took out her purse, she calculated, this copper plate is not much, but it can sustain life, and when the dowry from the old pious woman is returned, she will buy a piece of land around and rent it to tenants, so that there is no need to worry about rations for a year.

"Ahem......"

Happy to be a dad? Mo Xiaohe's expression was weird, his complexion changed, and these three words were easy to be beaten in modern terms. She calmed down and wore it for more than a year, and it seemed that she had integrated into it, but in fact, there was still a gap between her and the people here.

Men are inferior to women, there are three unfilial pieties, no queen is the greatest, no son is the head of the family who breaks the incense, these concepts, the queen mother Mo Yan can not be reversed, and even in the 21st century, there are many people who prefer sons over women, and the feudal dregs of thousands of years are so easy to change.

"Cousin, you can go to me for the New Year."

Chinese New Year's Eve, Mo Daya is only alone, alone, Mo Xiaohe thought of her alone in a daze for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, too lonely, it just so happened that she was not many, Uncle Zhang and the old two, as well as her and her husband.

"I'm a married girl, but I've been divorced by my husband, it's not appropriate to go to your place for the New Year."

Mo Daya took Mo Xiaohe's hand, "I am a person who has been married, even if you don't dislike me, others may not think so." ”

It's not bad to celebrate the New Year alone, there is wine and meat, get drunk, and when the day dawns, everything starts from the beginning, she wants to say goodbye to the past, and say goodbye to Li Er, the old godly woman, she believes that she can live well.

Mo Xiaohe just wanted to explain, but she understood in an instant, she was arbitrary at home, and in many things, she didn't ask Gu Zheng what she meant, she always thought in her heart, if she decided by herself, he would not have an opinion. Although it is a fact, in the long run, will the husband feel that he is being despised?

The way to get along with husband and wife is a science, overcoming rigidity with softness, Mo Xiaohe feels that he is still not mature enough, and he is gradually groping.

"You can taste the fish skin I made."

Mo Daya took out a bowl of fish skin, stir-fried with green onions, ginger and garlic, sweet and sour and soy sauce, and then colored, added a little rice wine, and sprinkled a small handful of green coriander. She heard that it was good to eat fish skin and the price was cheap, so she bought two catties and studied and cooked it herself.

Xu Tietou loves to eat very much, taking advantage of her to help cook in the countryside, sneaked in, and stole a small basin to drink, which was really not left, but as compensation, the water tank in the courtyard was full, and the firewood was piled up into a hill.

"Vomit ......"

Mo Xiaohe smelled the fishy smell, and her stomach suddenly became uncomfortable, she hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with her hands, and turned her head over, "Cousin, I can't smell it, it's too fishy!" ”

The fish was caught in winter, she added the fishy material, Mo Daya sniffed, she didn't smell the fishy smell at all, she thought that her cousin was delicate, she couldn't eat this, and she took it out again, she really didn't have anything good here. Mo Xiaohe turned her head sideways, and saw that her cousin had a moment of apprehension on her face, bowed her head, very disappointed, she rubbed the corners of her forehead, it seemed that she reacted too much, but she was obviously not a picky eater, and fish skin was also what she liked to eat, especially with porridge.

"Have you been smelling fishy and disgusting lately?"

Listening to Mo Xiaohe's explanation, the loss in her heart immediately disappeared, her eyes lit up, and she asked, "What other reactions are there?" ”

"Something else?"

Since Li Xiu came to her, Mo Xiaohe was a little depressed, maybe it was cold, she was drowsy, and the work at home all depended on her husband Gu Zheng, he spoiled her to the sky, and she didn't need to brush the dishes and chopsticks, she still wanted to compete in the past, but she was too lazy to move these days, and she could lie down and never sit.

"You can't be pregnant, right?"

Mo Daya rubbed her chin, it seemed that she had just become pregnant, and she reacted, but she ignored it, and the situation that her cousin said was very likely to be.

"No, I came here last month." Mo Xiaohe replied simply, but she wasn't very sure, she didn't drink the avoidance soup, she and her husband had been calculating the days, so she wouldn't be shot so coincidentally, right? She touched her flat lower abdomen, but nothing responded.

"That was last month."

Many women don't know in the early stages of pregnancy, too tired and lead to miscarriage, don't be sloppy, it's best to find a reliable Langzhong. Mo Daya herself was deeply affected, she heard that there was a pharmacy in the town of the old man Zhong respected, kind-hearted, and occasionally gave medicine to the poor, "I think, it is better to find the old man to see, in case there is, to catch up with the New Year is double happiness." ”

"Wouldn't it be too much of a catch?"

After the New Year, Mo Xiaohe was seventeen years old, and her mother insisted that she wait two years for reproduction, Yingluo also said the same, reduce the risk, but if it really exists, it will inevitably stay, and she can't do that kind of thing.

"Look, you doubt it yourself!"

Instead of keeping this doubt, it is better to hurry up and take a look, the Chinese New Year pharmacy was closed until the fifteenth day of the first month, Mo Daya was in a hurry, went to the stove to seal the fire, and hurriedly took Mo Xiaohe out.

The pharmacy is not far away, just in an alley, the old man has excellent traditional Chinese medicine skills, there are many people who seek medical advice, it is cheaper to see a doctor in the yamen, but there is a long queue, it is not good to delay the condition, for this consideration, most of the people choose nearby.

At noon, the shop was about to close for a break, Mo Daya looked at the little medicine boy who was about to close, quickly stopped him, and gave him two pennies, "Little doctor, is Lang Zhong at your family here?" ”

When the other party heard Mo Daya's title, he smiled on his face, "My grandfather is here, are you here to see a doctor?" Then come in. ”

As he spoke, he led Mo Daya and Mo Xiaohe into the main hall, the entire main hall was filled with dense medicine cabinets, a room of medicinal incense, the old man was drinking tea, and when he heard the intention, he gave Mo Xiaohe a pulse.

Some Lang Zhong pay attention to the defense of men and women, all use silk threads, and the old man is middle-aged, don't worry about the whole, he took a few breaths, raised his head, and touched his beard with his hand, "The little lady is cold, it should have been conditioned with medicine before, and now it is too good, but it still leaves a little bit of the root of the disease, you are now about a month pregnant, do not eat, can not eat cold food, and can not do heavy physical work." ”

Before coming, I just guessed that Mo Xiaohe thought that she was mentally prepared enough, and when Lang Zhong told her, she was still stunned for a long time, and she couldn't react, she had a child with her husband......
