When midwinter comes, a hundred flowers are gone.

Shanshui County, which is approaching the end of the year, has fallen silent, leaving only a moment on the wharf and a hurried boat rushing back to his hometown for the New Year.

The Du family's pork shop has been closed, and the New Year is different from the previous festivals, even if people who can't eat enough on weekdays will save money to buy dozens of catties to treat their families who have worked hard for a year.

Several familiar families buy a pig together, or a family buys a pig, because of the large amount, many people will no longer go to the guò pork shop but directly discuss with the pig farmer, the pig is killed and go directly to get the meat, both sides save the pork seller's money.

The dozens of catties sold in the butcher shop in bits and pieces didn't make much money, and Daddy Du closed the shop as in previous years and took his sons to kill pigs for people in ten miles and eight villages.

In the Du family's grocery store, Ma Hongmei covered her mouth listlessly and yawned, seeing that it was still early and there was no one, she simply grabbed the melon seeds and knocked them up.

Different from the pork shop at home, the business of the grocery store is much better than usual, plus Du Zhiyi specially collected a lot of dry goods from the mountains a few years ago, and the people who came down from the boat to rest more or less like to buy some. Du Zhiyi discussed with Daddy Du that the grocery store would open for another half a month, and it was just at this time to clear the goods.

Yesterday, a family ordered 200 catties of white noodles and said that they would send it over today, Du Zhiyi loaded the car and left early in the morning, while Ma Hongmei guarded the shop with nothing to do.

"Fourth sister! Hehe...... Morning! ”

The fat man wearing a thick cotton jacket collar and sleeves but dirty walked in with his hands rubbed his hands and smiled, and did not forget to grab a few handfuls of food in the aisle and stuff it into the big jacket.

Ma Hongmei saw that the person who came directly blackened her face, and opened her mouth to drive people away: "Who asked you to come?" Get the hell out of here! ”

"Hehe" Ma Baoshan laughed dryly, a pair of mouse eyes swept around the store, and said pitifully: "Fourth sister, this is going to be the New Year, give some money to spend!" It's not that you don't know that the eldest sister died of slamming the door, and they didn't give a penny to the family. ”

Ma Hongmei sneered twice, and directly grabbed the broom next to her and hit it, "Ma Baoshan, you lack morality, hurry up and get out of here, don't dirty my ground!" Wait a while, Erlang will come back and won't be able to kill you! ”

Eldest sister, why didn't they go back, they weren't sold for money by those two old things. It's not enough to trap them for a lifetime, and they still want to ask for money, how can there be such a good thing in the world.

"Don't! Don't! Sister! You have to think about your father and brother when you have a good life! Our mother wants to tell me that your daughter-in-law, you as a sister always have to give something, and if you don't give money and something, it will become so much for you to have here anyway. Don't fight, it hurts to death, be careful and go back and I'll tell my dad to let him beat you to death! ”

Ma Baoshan's fat body flexibly dodged the broom swept by Ma Hongmei, and he didn't forget to shout for money and things in his mouth.

Ma Hongmei has been enslaved since she was a child, and she often does farm work when she marries into the Du family, and her strength is much greater than that of Ma Baoshan, a big man who doesn't do anything but eat.

"Ma Hongmei, you stinky bitch, don't be ashamed! What do hens that don't lay eggs do with so much money! You might as well give it to me. How dare you really beat me, I won't let my father beat you to death! Ma Baoshan pushed Ma Hongmei away, ran directly to the money box, grabbed the money with both hands, scolded and stuffed it into her pocket.

Ma Hongmei was pushed back by Ma Baoshan and directly hit the shelf, inhaling in pain, seeing Ma Baoshan robbing the money, she shouted urgently: "Robbery!" Robbery! He grabbed the walnut at hand and threw it over.

It was still early, there were few people on the road, and the nearby shops saw that Ma Baoshan had made trouble a few times, and immediately pretended not to see anything and hid back in the store, and the pedestrians on the road were even more unfamiliar with the place and did not dare to leave in a hurry.

When Du Zhiyi came back from delivery, he saw Ma Hongmei sitting on the ground crying and scolding, guessing that it must be the bastard of the Ma family who took advantage of his absence to make trouble, and said with a cold face: "What should I do if I get sick sitting on the ground in winter!" Hurry up! As he spoke, he grabbed one of Ma Hongmei's arms and tried to pull her up.

"I hit my lower back very hard, and it hurts when I move." Ma Hongmei glanced at Du Zhiyi pitifully and said in a low voice.

Du Zhiyi's face was full of impatience: "You mother-in-law, you're in trouble!" ”

Du Zhiyi picked up Ma Hongmei and put it on the stool next to him, "Does it still hurt?" I don't need to go to Lao Sun's house to ask for a few plasters. ”

Ma Hongmei tried to move her lower waist and felt more pain, and looked at Du Zhiyi with a bitter face: "Boss, I seem to have hurt my bones." ”

Du Zhiyi directly blackened his face, "The trouble is dead!" ”

Du Zhiyi turned to the back, took a pillow and two quilts, and after laying it out, he picked Ma Hongmei into the row car, closed the door of the store, and walked towards the old man Sun's house, which had the best bone touching skills in the county.

Sun's pharmacy is one of the few ancestral pharmacies in Shanshui County, and now Sun Jianben, who is in charge, is only in his early thirties.

"Where's the injury?" The elementary school apprentice helped move Ma Hongmei to the bed, and when he heard that it was the back waist, he quickly reversed the person while the master didn't see it.

Sun's pharmacy is a family business, and the old doctor in the store is Sun Jianben's father, who is called Lao Sun.

Lao Sun touched his goatee, frowned, then touched his other hand, and looked at Ma Hongmei uncertainly: "This pulse looks like she is pregnant, and she hasn't been here for a month or two this month, right?" "Our main business is bruises, and other aspects need to be improved!

Lao Sun's uncertain words stunned Du Zhiyi and his family.

Ma Hongmei stood up excitedly and said in disbelief: "What? What do you say, doctor? ”

Du Zhiyi looked at Lao Sun in a daze.

Lao Sun was a little embarrassed, put down his hand that touched his beard, and said with a dry smile: "Hehe, you also know that we mainly treat bones, and we can only be sixty percent sure, so it's better to find other medical centers to determine." ”

Du Zhiyi is a man of action, and he ran out with a gust of wind, but a gray-haired old doctor came back in a few minutes.

The old doctor was probably used to being treated like this by all kinds of anxious family members, so he calmly flattened his wrinkled cotton robe, and after asking who the patient was, he directly stepped forward to check Ma Hongmei's pulse.

After a simple question, the old doctor said with an affirmative face: "I am almost two months pregnant." ”

"Wow-" Ma Hongmei cried directly.

After marrying into the Du family for almost five years, she finally had a child.

Du Zhiyi also showed a rare smile, he has a son.

"Ahem," the old doctor motioned to the two to listen to himself and said: "It's not easy to have a child, how can you be so careless, this time hurting your waist is not a trivial matter, it's best to take care of it well in the past few months, otherwise when you are a month old, your waist can't stand it, and the child will be in danger." I'll prescribe a tocolytic pill first, and let Dr. Sun take a look at my waist later, don't be careless. ”

Ma Hongmei and Du Zhiyi have no children after they got married for a year, worried that they lost their bodies when they were children, and they found a lot of doctors to see them at that time, and Zhao E, who entered the door later than herself, had children and was even more anxious.

Ma Hongmei covered her stomach and turned pale when she heard this, "Doctor, is my son okay?" This is the son I was looking forward to, how could something happen, thinking of Ma Baoshan pushing herself, Ma Hongmei had a look of resentment on her face.

The old doctor calmly finished writing the prescription and gently dried the ink before slowly saying: "Don't think too much, take advantage of the Chinese New Year to take care of it, otherwise the child will be born with low back pain." This kid is a strong one, and there's nothing good about it. After comforting the nervous two, the old doctor explained some things to pay attention to before leaving in the gratitude of the husband and wife.
