CHAPTER XLIV

Mao looked at the bear worriedly, but the bear jumped up and down here to see the excitement, and went to see there. Mao had no choice, so he had to ask Songbai to take good care of the bear.

Songbai nodded in response, don't look at Xiong Zi who looks heartless, he also has an idea in his heart, but he doesn't want to show his sadness, and then make Mao and Huang sad.

The two of them got on the boat with their burdens, and the men on the boat were all men in their twenties and thirties, who had just said goodbye to their families, and the atmosphere was a little dull. Du Dangjia arranged beds for the two, and the two of them silently packed up their things, and even Xiongzi changed the noise of the past.

Du Dangjia has a half-white beard, and he is the oldest on the ship. Because he went to sea several times when he was young, some of them were experienced, and there was only one married daughter left in the family, so he simply started to go to sea.

He remembered that Songbai was recommended by Zhang Xingxing, and he talked about it extraordinarily and insightfully, and he looked up to it in his heart. When arranging the bed, arrange a place for him to be inside, so that there is still a bit of private space.

A huge room can accommodate more than ten people, and the stewards and the housekeepers are one person per room. Although more than ten people are all from Qinglian Town, they all have their own tempers, and there are not a few gangs, as long as they don't involve their own interests, the stewards are all blind to them.

There is the one who has been to the sea who does not like the pines and cypresses, and the bed inside is not only large, but also next to the window, and everything is aspect, why give it to a newcomer who is nothing.

Du Dangjia had long seen that this person named Xiao Shun'er couldn't get used to looking at Songbai, but he didn't say anything, nor did he remind Songbai. He wanted to see if Songbai could handle this kind of thing, and if he could handle it well, then he could use it with confidence. If not, the pine and cypress are just an embroidered pillow that can only be used on paper, and it is not a solid pillow, so he will not spend any effort to cultivate.

Songbai put his things away, and Xiongzi was on the shop next to him. He had already seen Xiao Shun'er's unconvinced expression, and Du Dangjia looked like he didn't want to interfere, so he scolded the old fox in his heart and thought about it.

Although he had heard from his uncle that the ship was not peaceful, fighting and gambling were not a problem, and it was common for him to bring back a daughter-in-law secretly, he never thought that he would get into trouble on the first day, and if it was uneven, there would be no place for him on this ship!

**

After Sun sent Songbai away, he fell ill when he returned home. Lying on the bed and unable to get up, Lao Huanglai prescribed a prescription for the pulse and told him to take care of it.

Orange handed Lao Huang a glass of water, Lao Huang was not as cold to her as a few days ago, but he didn't have any smiles. Xiao Huang didn't follow, and heard Lao Huang say that he went up the mountain to collect medicine.

Some good medicinal herbs grow on the cliffs of the deep mountains, and there are occasional wild beasts in the forest, and Lao Huang is really relieved. He's just such a grandson.

Lao Huang sat on the chair and said in a loud voice: "What's this, when the dolls are older, they should be allowed to go on a rampage, otherwise they can be locked up at home for a lifetime?" Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and we will get older and older in the future, but we don't have to let them go on their own. ”

Although she said this to Zhao He, it was also to say it to Sun, she was not just sick. I don't feel at ease with the pines and cypresses, and I am tired in the past few days, so I am sick.

The main reason is not that he is reluctant to let Xiao Huang go, but that Xiao Huang leaves without saying hello. Didn't he just say that Lihua is also a good girl, not to mention that the cooking is delicious, and she looks good.

Xiao Huang was annoyed and impatient to stay at home with him. He's a grandson, he has a lot of ideas in his heart, and his vision is also high, so it's difficult for him to fall in love with a village girl.

But it's still a pity, the duck that reached the beak flew one, and now the other one has to fly too?

When Sun heard it in the house, he sighed in his heart, who said it wasn't, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and Songbai is a great blessing - isn't Chi Dazhu such a fate!

Chi Dazhu couldn't stand Zhao He's entanglement, so he took out the earlier skewer and let him draw one, which is a Zhongji, which is not bad.

Chen was pregnant with a child, and Huang didn't let her come over to help, for fear that she would be sick and give the child too much. I ran at both ends, and I lost weight in a few days, not only did Sun not want to go, but I couldn't stand the oranges. Simply she and Pear Blossom take care of the Sun family together.

It is said that if an orange is married and has not yet married, she can't come to her mother-in-law's house to help, she has to embroider the wedding dress at home. However, because of the special two families, they live close to each other, and Sun's family is sick and can't get up, so no one can gossip when she comes to help.

Because Sun was sick and had no appetite, Chen was pregnant, and Huang was old, and the three of them were forced to eat three bowls of egg custard with oranges every day.

The three of them are used to being thrifty, how can anyone eat egg custard every day. When they got married, they collected a lot of eggs, and they planned to sell them at the market.

Orange disagreed, and analyzed the pros and cons with them - if you are not in good health, you can't take medicine, and the money spent is not small!

The three of them had to eat obediently, feeling distressed and feeling that the orange was right. People in the village only eat when people with good conditions are seriously ill or confinement, which is really a luxury!

However, this egg custard is really delicious, fresh yellow and tender eggs, the surface is smooth and tender, soft and tender like a brain. It is sprinkled with chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil and other seasonings, and it tastes tender and delicious.

Those eggs can't be spoiled for a while, but they are not fresh when they are always put away, so it is better to marinate them and put them in the cellar.

**

Last time, I killed a lot of chickens when I got married, and Sun asked Lihua to go to Xiuxiu Niang to buy eggs, and it was good to serve these animals at home in winter. On this day, taking advantage of the good sunshine, Pear Blossom and Orange went to the west of the village to get eggs.

Now that it's the lunar month, everyone is starting to prepare for the New Year. Today, it is rare to have a sunny day, every household in the village is drying quilts in the yard, and the elderly are sitting in front of the house to bask in the sun and chat. When he saw the orange, he joked a few words, for fear of making her sad, and he didn't mention the matter of pine and cypress.

Most of the people in the village are very kind, and they only occasionally spread some nonsense. There are also those black-hearted people who do some things like stealing chickens and touching dogs, but if they are known, they will have to poke their backbones.

Granny Yang sat in front of her house basking in the sun, and talked to the neighbors next to her from time to time. Her daughter-in-law is about to give birth, she is happy, she has been widowed for so many years, doesn't she just hope that her children and grandchildren will be full.

Her daughter-in-law was also a good one, and she was pampered when she was pregnant, but no matter how pampered the people in the village were, they were just greedy for food. For this matter, there is no less trouble with oranges, and Granny Yang really can't help it.

Just when he saw Orange and Pear Blossom passing by, he beckoned the two into the house and handed them the eggs they had saved for two months.

"Don't shirk it, it's not easy for me to get married last time, I'm afraid that I, an ominous person, will collide with you...... I'm always bothering you to make food for my eldest grandson, and I have to accept this basket of eggs! ”

Oranges and pear blossoms are resolutely not, this Granny Yang is also a person who has suffered all her life, she is reluctant to eat and wear, and whatever is good is left to the children.

Granny Yang's daughter-in-law was originally lying in the house, she was about to give birth, and it was very inconvenient to move, so she also came out at this time and said, "Eldest nephew, you can take it quickly." My mother-in-law is also a good intention, if you don't accept it, my mother-in-law should be upset. ”

Orange saw that her belly was not small. She couldn't walk, she was very scary, and she was afraid that she would have a good job, so she hurriedly let her go in and lie down.

She stood against the wall, looking at the sun outside with envy in her eyes, "It's rare that the weather is good today, I'm about to stink when I lie in the house!" It's a pity that the little ancestor in the belly hasn't come out yet. ”

Granny Yang said twice, "My grandson is staying well, why do you want to come out so early!" Go back to the house and lie down, and when your head of the house comes back at night, I'll stew you a pig's trotter to eat! ”

She stuffed the basket into the orange's arms, and stepped forward to carefully help her daughter-in-law into the house. Her son moves goods at the docks during the day and returns at night.

Orange had to take the basket, and the basket full of eggs was more than what Chi Pozi gave when she was married!

She counted half of it and put it in the kitchen, there were still a lot of eggs at home, and it was the time for Granny Yang's house to eat eggs to make up for it.

The two said goodbye and left, and Granny Yang came out to see that there were more than half of the eggs in the kitchen, and sighed that these two children are really good-hearted. Orange is married, and Pear Blossom is not young, so she has to be busy looking for it.

It's not good to go to Xiuxiu's house with a basket of eggs, Rika insists on going back with the eggs, she doesn't know what, although she reconciled with Xiuxiu, she doesn't want to go to Xiuxiu's house at all.

Orange had no choice but to follow her, and told her to go back and steam a bowl of eggs for Chen, Sun and Huang, and she took the eggs and went home.

Xiuxiu's business is getting better and better day by day, and there are many people who enter the Layue pig and many who get married. Qingwa is not about to get married.

The second child is mending the fishing nets, and in two days the fish in the river will be picked up, which is an important festival in the village every year - the fish that come out are divided according to the head, and every household can share a lot.

People who can't afford to eat pork also have fish to eat during the New Year, so as to add joy, and children can still play in the water openly, although the water is cold and biting.

The third child was following the pig killing Li Xue, and the boss was unhappy. Xiuxiu saw her coming, and hurriedly welcomed her into her house.

"This is a good egg picked by my mother, and I can't guarantee that every chicken baby will come out, but it's not bad." Xiuxiu pointed to the eggs.

Orange held up an egg to look at it, and listened to Huang say that he could see if the egg had black spots in the light to know if it could hatch chicks. She looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything.

Xiuxiu said funny: "This is all craftsmanship, and it is a test in the eyes." There are not many people in the village, but there are many miles, and my sister-in-law will. When he said the sister-in-law, his voice was obviously lowered.

Orange pinched her nose, "What's wrong with you lately?" It's not like you, you always think about it, where is the spicy show in the past? ”
