Chapter 1: Afternoon
In the afternoon, the sun is clear and warm.
In the sunny place of the Pei family's courtyard, Pei Yan was sitting on a straw mat, sewing swaddling clothes for her little brother who had just been born for a few days.
Although this little guy was born a month early, his body is not weak, and he can eat and pull. At the moment, there is no diaper or anything, and diapers have to be washed in a large basin every day. There is also this cotton mattress and the like, which must be dismantled and washed every few days.
Fortunately, this little girl with the same name and surname as herself had also learned needlework before, and she herself was grateful for those long lonely and idle nights, in order to pass the time, she taught herself a lot.
Among them is this female celebrity that she thought she would never be involved in her life. Although I am not very proficient in learning, it is still much better than those who have never used it.
Thinking of the past, Pei Yan couldn't help but sigh. The world is really unpredictable, and in the most difficult time, she has made a lot of assumptions about her future, but she never thought that crossing this mysterious and mysterious thing would fall on her head.
And it was at the moment when she had just gone through a long trough in her life, and she was about to run on the broad road to get rich and embark on the pinnacle of life, and she actually crossed over!
When she just woke up, Pei Yan said that she was unwilling, very unwilling, very unwilling!
But what if you are unwilling? Can't you try to die again and see if you can go back?
Although there was a 50% chance, she didn't have the courage to try.
She has only tasted the ups and downs of life for 28 years, and she hasn't tasted enough. - Although she often says that she is an unlucky bastard, compared with others, she must have been doubled by the bastard of fate in her twenty-eight years, not three, four, and countless times of Huang Lian.
But even so, she didn't want to die.
It's not fun to die, people die like lights go out. I'm really going to die, and I can't even taste the bitter yellow lotus. Therefore, it is better to die than to live.
After comforting herself like this, she felt better. Although I have lost a lot now, I am still alive, and I have earned more than ten years of youth by the way.
When I think about it like this, my heart is much smoother.
It's just that when she thinks of the bastard who bit her car ass, she can't help but hate the root of her teeth. As she was cursing in circles with her teeth, there was a sound of light footsteps.
Pei Yan looked up and saw a woman about thirty-five or sixteen years old with a green cloth wrapped in outside the fence of Pei's house. He also holds a pair of soles in his hand.
"Aunt Zhuang, have you eaten?" Pei Yan raised her voice to say hello.
This woman is the Wang Dazhuang family in the west, which is separated by a stream from the Pei family. Pei's house is in the southernmost part of the town of Bei'an Town, and beyond the dirt road in front of the door, there is a field that is not very open. To the south of the field, there is a barren land. Past the beach, there are endless mountain peaks.
Wang Dazhuang responded with a smile, and asked again, "How is your mother today?" ”
Su was the only son of the sister-in-law who was married to Qingzhou Mansion, Song Bao, who deliberately mixed his feet, and then fell and was born prematurely. She fainted immediately, bleeding profusely, and the neighbors who were present at the time should have been killed by one corpse or two. Unexpectedly, I invited Lang Zhong from the town to come, and after a few stitches, Su Shi woke up.
It's just that the day of production has not yet arrived. The child in the womb has not yet turned around, and it is a transverse fetus. It took a lot of effort to give birth.
And Su Shi also lost too much blood and hurt his vitality. For the first few days, most of the time was spent asleep, and the person was much weaker than a woman who gave birth normally.
Pei Yan gave her a seat and said, "It's much better today." Ate a big bowl of rice wine and eggs in the morning. I ate most of the bowl of rotten noodles at noon. As she spoke, she smiled, "There is more milk, and my little brother can eat a lot today." ”
Wang Dazhuang's family looked at the curtain of the hall and sighed, "Your mother is suffering this time." As he spoke, his eyes rolled around her a few times, and he smiled with satisfaction, "It's also a loss to you this time." If your family hadn't been in charge of it, I wouldn't know what the chaos would have become. ”
I didn't expect this girl to be silent in the past, but when it came to the critical moment, she was stable.
Pei Yan raised her head and smiled, and said, "Just pointing at me, it's mostly the help of the neighbor's aunt." As she spoke, she smiled gratefully at Wang Dazhuang's family and said, "The most grateful thing is my aunt." ”
Because they are close neighbors, the two families used to get along well. Since Su's accidental premature birth, Wang Dazhuang's family has been running to his house three times a day. instructed her how to wait for the confinement, and sometimes sat and talked to Su Shi, enlightening her.
This made the atmosphere of the Pei family, which had accidents one after another, seem less heavy.
Wang Dazhuang's family laughed, pointed at her with a finger and said, "I praised you, but I recruited you to praise me." Let's not do anything today, just sit here and praise each other. ”
Both of them laughed. After laughing once, Wang Dazhuang's chin was raised in the direction of the hall, "What about your father?" Out again? ”
"Hmm." Pei Yan nodded.
Pei Mingyuan knows how to carpenter and has been doing woodwork in the construction class. I used to work with others, and in March last year, I partnered with two people who worked together to set up a small construction class. Who would have thought that it had not been established for half a year, and the work of building a house had not received a few orders, so Pei Mingyuan called the unbuilt scaffolding to smash it and broke his leg.
From October to New Year. Now, although I can go down to the ground, I still can't find a good way. But the family has not made any money for several months, not to mention, and it has cost a lot of money to see a doctor and take medicine by himself. The wife gave birth prematurely for another month, and adults need money to feed the baby in confinement.
I couldn't lie down anymore, and in the past few days, I asked my eldest son to take a car and push him to the partner Wang Guiwu's house at the end of the town, and how to go to the villages and villages to pick up work in the spring.
Wang Dazhuang's family sighed, "Your father is too, even if he can't help it, it's not bad for a few days." This will only care about getting off the ground strongly, and it will be troublesome to fall into the aftermath, and the leg injury is not as good as the side. ”
Pei Yan nodded in agreement, "Who says it's not." My mother advises, and we also advise. He promised well in front of my mother. As soon as my mother slept on the front foot, he asked the eldest brother to push him out on the back foot. We couldn't persuade him, so we had to follow him. Anyway, my eldest brother is pushing it with a car, and he doesn't need to go down to the ground. ”
mentioned the eldest son of the Pei family, Wang Dazhuang's family smiled bitterly and sighed, "This is also a tendon!" ”
Pei Yue, the eldest son of the Pei family, is fifteen years old this year and has been in the school since he was seven or eight years old. I heard Su Shi say that the gentlemen in the school praised him a few times, saying that others are still a little smart, and more importantly, they are willing to work hard. Pei Mingyuan and Su Shi were full of energy for him, hoping to get out of the exam in the future.
But since Pei Mingyuan injured his leg, he said that he would not go to school for three days. asked Su Shi to scold and force, and then he continued to read.
But this time, as soon as Su was born prematurely, Pei Mingyuan couldn't move. Pei Yan also injured his head, and in addition to him, there were only two small ones left in the family who were still alive.
He didn't have to talk to anyone and brought back all the bookcases and everything.
Although Pei Mingyuan didn't agree with it, but now that the family situation really needs to be an errand man, he didn't say anything. It's just that I'm afraid that the Su family will find out and be anxious to get angry. I'm still hiding it from her.
Pei Yan thought of this eldest brother's appearance of being persuaded and scolded by you, and I stood still, and nodded with a wry smile, "It's not." ”
Wang Dazhuang's eyes fell on the back of her head, looked at her for a while, and sighed with a smile, "Your family, I don't know if it's hit something in the past half a year, why are you so unlucky?!" ”
Saying that, she paused and said to Pei Yan, "In the future, Mama Hongmei and I are going to Daqingshan to burn incense, or you will go with us." Go to the Bodhisattva and burn incense and make a wish. ”
Pei Yan didn't believe this, and besides, she couldn't leave anyone at home, so she was too lazy to toss. He smiled and said, "My family is no better than you." You have been offering incense to the Bodhisattva all the year round, and you have already become familiar with the Bodhisattva in front of you. My mother doesn't believe in this, she has never entered the temple, I went suddenly, the Bodhisattva heard me make a wish and prayed, and she will definitely not be me. Maybe I'm even to blame for cramming. ”
Wang Dazhuang's family laughed at her, then smiled at her, raised his hand and pointed to the top of his head, "There are gods three feet above your head, don't dare to say nonsense." ”
The two were talking when they suddenly heard a sound of human voices from the west side of the courtyard. They all turned their heads to look.
Across the fence wall of the Pei family, I saw a few people walking on the bank path on the other side of the creek. The one who started was wearing an indigo cotton jacket and cotton pants, and his head and face were cleaned up neatly was Pei Liu's.
She was followed by two women and a mother-in-law with a bun on her head, and this mother-in-law Wang Da Zhuang's family also recognized that it was the incense woman who often moved around Bei'an Town. will also meet others, and has a reputation in this area.
Wang Dazhuang's family was stunned, and whispered to Pei Yan, "Your grandmother and eldest aunt and second aunt want to come to your house." ”
While talking, several people had crossed the bluestone slab bridge and came east.
There are only two households on the east side of the bridge. And another family's house was deserted.
It must have come from his own home.
Bae Yan stood up and put on her shoes. Wang Dazhuang's family also stood up and whispered, "What are they doing here, and they are still leading this grandmother!" ”
Pei Yan was also curious. Because Song Bao's bear child deliberately mixed with Su's and caused Su's premature birth, she was also thrown to the ground with Su's support, and the back of her head hit the stone and died. - Despite her arrival, she only broke her head in the eyes of everyone.
But this is enough to annoy Pei Mingyuan.
struggled to get off the ground, and gave Song Bao, who refused to make a mistake, twice with a stick.
This annoyed Pei Liu, who treated Song Bao as an eyeball. immediately scolded his son, and left with Song Bao, who was crying and shouting. Until today, Su Shi has been giving birth for the sixth day, and he has not come to take a look.
Zhang Luo, who should be a mother-in-law, naturally didn't eat anything in the confinement period.
Although the family has been separated, it is still rare for a mother-in-law to be ruthless to this child, and the neighbors secretly say that she is not. Su didn't say it, and his heart was quite unpleasant.
Pei Yan didn't feel much about it. Anyway, after the family is divided, she came to Zhang Luo to wait, it is love. In the future, when she is old and frail and needs to be taken care of, she will naturally repay her today's affection. No, although it can't be said to be a duty. But when she wants to use people in the future, she can't care about others, anyway, as far as she is concerned, it will definitely be discounted.
It's just that I was surprised that she hadn't shown up for six or seven days, and no one invited her today, so why did she take the initiative to come.
