Chapter 225: Twins
"Gao Wanwan is Li Mei's daughter, do you think the two of them will be the same?"
Xi'er turned her head suddenly, "So, do you think that her mother hooked up with Gao Dagui because of strong demand, and then Gao Wanwan caused Gao Bao'er to die on the woman's belly because of physiological reasons?" ”
Xi'er didn't find out that in fact, her remarks were not much more subtle than Gu Liya's. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's not that I think, it's the sisters-in-law in the village who said that." Gu Liya picked up the pear, took a big bite, and said that her mouth was dry, and it was best to eat a pear to clear her throat.
Xi'er didn't continue the topic, "Gao Bao'er is dead, where did Gao Wanwan go?" ”
Gu Liya shook her head, "The day after Gao Bao'er died, no one saw her. Later, Gao Baoer's parents also went to the village chief's house to make a fuss, as if they had caught all their laying hens, and the matter was over, but Mrs. Gao scolded at the entrance of the village for two days, and you are estimated to be still there now. ”
Xi'er couldn't help but feel sad for Gao Bao'er's fate.
The woman he gave his life for, when he came out of the funeral, no one appeared.
In the eyes of his parents, he is only worth a few laying hens, which is really sad.
However, people die like lights go out, and no matter how uneven the world is, it is only a breath before life, and if it is gone, it will be gone.
After talking about Gao Baoer and Gao Wanwan, Gu Liya excitedly talked about which daughter-in-law in the village gave birth to a baby.
"Do you know where the most amazing place is?" In the dim light of the kerosene lamp, her eyes were amazingly bright.
"What?" Xi'er listened to her, how could this guy not escape her ears for anything in the village.
"...... in the stove" was interrupted by Xi'er before he could finish speaking.
"Stove? Why? "I used to hear some old people complain that the current daughter-in-law is very squeamish in giving birth, in the past, on the ridge, in the field, often working and doing to give birth, where is the time to go to the hospital, into the delivery room?
Xi'er and the others heard the most laughter, but they didn't think so.
"It was her mother-in-law's birthday, and she got up early in the morning to roll out longevity noodles, but when she was about to squat down and hand firewood to the stove, the child fell out." Gu Liya's eyebrows fluttered as she spoke, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
Seeing that there was doubt in Xi'er's eyes, he hurriedly added.
"Really, when I went, the ashes on the child's body were not cleaned. I asked her if it hurts? She said that she had a little labor pain before, and thought it was kicked by a child, so she didn't pay much attention to it, and the moment she was born, it was like laying eggs, and she plopped, two. ”
Looking at Gu Liya's outstretched fingers, Xi'er's heart was pounding.
"Two?" My throat was a little dry, and my voice was torn.
"Well, twins, I went to see them, and they were thin and thin, like little frogs with skin, red all over their bodies, and thin ribs one by one. The second was born without a voice. The tone was obviously sinking, and anyone who heard it felt uncomfortable.
Xi'er was also frightened by Gu Liya's words, the little frog who peeled the skin?
When I was a child, I went to the vegetable market with my family, and when I saw that scene for the first time, I was so frightened that I cried, which shows the bloody nature of the scene.
"Are the two children okay?" Xi'er's voice began to tremble unconsciously.
"The first voice is quite loud, it's the second, it's unlikely to survive, and my sister-in-law's tears haven't dried up in the past two days." Gu Liya's bright eyes were also a little dim.
"Are you going to go over tomorrow?" Xi'er asked.
"Well, I do my best to obey God's fate, that child can only be examined if he is sent to a big hospital, he is too weak. I really can't help it, I just can't drink the milk, I spit out what I drink, and hum twice like a kitten from time to time. Gu Liya's face darkened, and she mourned her powerlessness.
Xi'er stood up and was about to walk out, "What are you doing?" ”
The hand that was about to lift the curtain paused for a moment, "I'll fry some cooked flour, and you can bring it to the kid tomorrow, and say it's your intention." ”
Then he walked straight to the kitchen.
Li Ying and Miao Qing were laughing outside and staggering, and when they saw Xi'er coming out, they hurriedly asked what was wrong.
"It's okay, I lost a bet with Sister Lia, toss some delicious food for her, and everyone will have a share later." forced a smile and sent away the curious eyes of my mother and Miao Qing.
Gu Liya followed closely behind and also went in.
"You take care of the fire for me, and I'll think about what the book says." Xi'er patted her head and recalled how her grandfather once told her how her grandmother was smart and wise to raise her father's grandmother.
At that time, adults couldn't eat enough, where would there be milk, but children couldn't be hungry?
Later, the grandmother spent a lot of effort to get some flour, and then after processing, she flushed water for the child to drink every day, but she didn't think that the father would survive.
This is also a product of the age, it seems to be called high dry powder.
It is to put the flour on a plate and steam it, and after steaming and cooling, roll it out with a rolling pin.
Xi'er said that she would do it, but after steaming for the first time, she made a way to spend Gu Liya, threw the flour to the golden retriever to dry, crushed it, steamed it again, and then rolled it out.
In this way, the flour completely loses its viscosity, and in the Beijing dialect, it is particularly "sprinkled".
The meaning of cool and non-sticky.
Then he used this cooked flour and put sugar on it for his father to drink, and then saved him.
Grandpa said, don't underestimate this cooked flour, it is actually the most nutritious, both economical and affordable, and it is not easy for children to eat this thing.
This year, every household in the village is short of food, and precious things like flour will definitely not be available, so Xi'er sent it out in the name of Gu Liya.
The flour is steamed with the spiritual spring water in the hot spring, which is the most activating vitality, hoping to save the second child.
When Gu Liya came back from finding something, Xi'er had already steamed ten catties of cooked flour, and made a mango smoothie for everyone.
"Xi'er, I love you so much." Gu Liya wanted to lean in and kiss her, but was slapped away by Xi'er with one hand.
Since the first Chinese New Year's Eve, Xi'er used this trick against her, and she has been completely relied upon.
From time to time, they kissed and hugged her, which made Li Ying feel uneasy about her for a while.
Behind his back, he muttered to Tian Yuliang, saying that this would bring bad Xi'er, and the girl's family should be knowledgeable, quiet and virtuous.
"Didn't you always think Xi'er was too quiet before? I think it's good, it seems to listen to the old man's meaning, this is all Xi'er's family. Tian Yuliang's words made Li Ying not come back to his senses for a long time.
"Gu Liya of Xi'er's Sect?"
"yes? Therefore, you still have to worry about whether your daughter will lead others crookedly. Tian Yuliang smiled and hugged his wife's body closer.
Until the seams are tight, the brain is muddy, the whole body is hot, and I can no longer think.
The topic has not been brought up since.
The next day, Xi'er followed Gu Liya, carrying flour and brown sugar, to visit the sister-in-law who gave birth to twins.
Gao Shizhuang said that it is not big, fifty or sixty households.
But after living here for a year and a half, I only know a few households who have dealt with each other back and forth, and I have never been here at all.
Seeing a jujube tree with a crooked neck, Gu Liya pointed to a small courtyard, "That's it." ”
