Chapter 113, Days
Zhang waved his hand unconcernedly when he heard it, "Go!" Side to go. Born to give birth, who hasn't given birth to a child, as for being so flamboyant, there are really a few stinky money I don't know how to get it. ”
When Tian heard this, he immediately got off the ground from the kang, went to the cabinet and turned over the small quilt and mattress made for the child, and instructed Zhang: "Yu'e is about to give birth, I'll go over and take a look, you cook at home." ”
Zhang looked at the burden that the old lady was carrying, pursed his lips, and turned around and went back to the room.
When Tian arrived at Li Yihe's house, it happened that Li Xiaoran ran back from the forest in the backyard, holding a century-old ginseng in his hand, which was planted after moving in this summer.
Originally, I wanted to keep it for Fu's life-saving use.
She had heard that in ancient times, there was no telling how many women died of childbirth every year, so this person was prepared.
Tian's eyes straightened when he saw this ginseng, and he secretly thought that the second son's family really got the protection of the mountain god, got a hundred years of Ganoderma lucidum and sold it for money, and there was such a big ginseng, it seemed to be bigger than the one sold by the old man that year.
Li Xiaoran was stunned for a moment when she saw her, and saw that her eyes had been staring at the baby in her hand, and subconsciously put her little hand behind her back, and felt that it was inappropriate, and said with a smile: "Grandma is here, you come into the house and sit, I'll go and cook a bowl of ginseng soup for my mother, so that she can give birth to a younger sister." ”
Tian called her over, touched her head lovingly, and asked, "Where did this ginseng come from?" ”
"Daddy went up the mountain to pick, my mother was going to give birth to a sister, so I didn't sell it, my father said, wait for my mother to give birth to my sister. I brought it to my grandparents and drank it to replenish my body. "Li Xiaoran's lies are very slippery, this is not unusual, and it is nothing to make up for the second elder, so you don't have to talk to them, besides, let outsiders know. will also accuse Li Yihe of being unfilial.
Tian glanced at the ginseng. It's fresh, so it can be seen that she didn't lie, it was not long after she came back. She nodded with satisfaction, "How can you do this, grandma, go and make soup for your mother." ”
Li Xiaoran handed her the ginseng and followed her into the kitchen. Wang Zhi'er and the eldest girl are boiling water. In the cauldron, a pot of hot water was already boiling. Tian Shi found a clay pot for decoction, and cut a few thin slices of ginseng, Li Xiaoran pointed to the chicken soup that was simmering on the stove and said, "Grandma, just add it here." Niang can also drink chicken soup. ”
Tian nodded, "You children are sensible. ”
This chicken soup looks like it has just been stewed for a short time.
In fact, this is the pheasant that Li Yihe hunted on the first day, and he originally planned to do it today. It happened that Fu Shi started, and when Wang Zhi'er came to boil water, he stewed the chicken soup by the way.
Li Yihe found Wen Po and came back. Aunt Wang is a native of Erdaogangzi, fortunately the two villages are close, and his legs and feet are fast, so he drove the mule cart to pick up the people.
Fu Shi tossed for a few hours, and gave birth to a girl at night, Tian Shi hugged this little girl and said to Fu Yuwan: "This child is like a child who has been confined, this is white, just like her sister, and she is smart at first glance." ”
It's good that the in-laws are not unhappy, Fu Yuwan's heart is slightly relaxed.
Tian stayed for a while before saying, "I have to go back quickly, my four sons will get married later, and there are still a lot of things." She said this, but she didn't move, just stared at Li Xiaoran with her eyes, Fu Yuwan was a little strange, and shouted, "Ran'er, send your grandma away." ”
Li Xiaoran was looking at this child with joy, because of the good food and the nourishment of the red fish before, this child was born with a full seven catties, white and fat, and Li Xiaoran They can be said to be worlds apart.
She looked at Tian in wonder, and then suddenly she was waiting for that ginseng!
She went to the kitchen, cut a small piece down, and gave the rest half to Tian, "Grandma, I cut a small piece and give it to my mother, you can take these back and make up for grandpa!" ”
Tian was a little depressed, such a good thing, this child had thrown it in the kitchen before, and now he gave it to her like this, he didn't cherish it at all, and he couldn't live a good life.
Li Yihe sent away the midwife's Aunt Wang, bought pork ribs and pig's trotters in Erdaogangzi, and bought ten catties of pork, this season the meat was frozen outside overnight, there are many people in the family, and the wife also needs to eat well for confinement.
After going back, I cut the meat and froze it piece by piece, and then I washed my hands and changed my clothes and went into the main room.
Fu Shi was already asleep, Li Xiaoran and Li Xuesi were next to their little sister, watching their little sister silly. Fu Yuwan sat on the edge of the kang, saw him come in, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is back, come and see this girl, she doesn't look like a newborn child at all, she looks handsome." ”
Li Yihe looked at his wife's sleeping face, his little daughter's cute little nose and eyes, his heart was about to melt, and the whole person looked stupid, and he was definitely happy.
"I've worked hard today, sister, it's not early, I have to trouble you to take care of Yue'e tomorrow, let's go and rest early!"
Fu Yuwan said: "Brother-in-law is polite, Yue'e is my sister, and it is also appropriate to take care of her."
After the Fu family gave birth, it was the day when the fourth child of the Li family got married.
Although Li Yijiang does not live in the village after getting married, the banquet still has to be held in the village, and the bride will also be brought into the village, and the two will not return to the town until the New Year is over.
On the day of marriage, Li Yiyuan did not rush back from the county, saying that there was a heavy snowfall in the county, and the roofs of many people's houses were collapsed by the snow.
This excuse is very good, Li honestly stroked his beard, and whoever came showed off with whom.
The compliments are endless, Li Jiashiro is promising, no one in this village can catch up, and Li Laoshi's limelight is better than the village Jiang for a while.
The bride Zhong is one year older than Li Yijiang, she may have heard Li Yijiang talk about the Li family before, she is very friendly to the four Li Xuefeng brothers, and when they recognize their relatives, they give each of the third-generation boys of the Li family a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and give Li Xiaoran a silver bracelet engraved with plum blossoms.
Li Xiaoran secretly said to himself, in this way, the gift to their family alone is enough to have five or six taels of silver, it seems that Shopkeeper Zhong is worthy of being the owner of the largest restaurant in the town, and he is indeed wealthy.
The Zhong family gave his parents-in-law all brocade clothes made by himself. Seeing that the price was expensive, as for the bracelet he received, Li Yijiang and Li Xiaoran secretly said later: "The bracelets of the two of them are hollow, and yours is solid." ”
Li Xiaoran could only sigh in his heart, uncle and aunt!
However, she also became more and more curious about how much silver her father gave her uncle, and later after her continuous inquiry. Li Yihe sued her. gave Li Laoshi twenty taels of silver, and secretly gave Li Yijiang fifty taels of silver behind his back.
It's no wonder that the little aunt is so generous, and she dares to love her father!
However, she still thinks that her uncle and aunt will be a person. is like Li Yiyuan, he takes it for granted as much as he gives, and he is a dime a die to his relatives.
A few days after Li Yijiang got married, Fu Yuwan went back with the children. Li Yihe invited Jiang Zhifa, who was good friends with him in the village, to drive them back to the county by mule cart.
Li Yihe gave Jiang Zhifa 200 yuan. Jiang Zhifa didn't accept it, "Brother Yihe, aren't you burying me, I haven't made much money from you this year." How can you get money for this help? No, no, you can take it back. ”
He sent Fu Yuwan home and stayed at Li's house at night. And the Li family was very enthusiastic, and baked him bread and fried pickles. Took it to eat on the road, and he didn't spend a penny on this trip.
Jiang Zhifa refused to accept it, Li Yihe thought about it, and when the New Year was about to be over, he sent some of the New Year's goods prepared by his own family, including five catties of rice, five catties of pork, five catties of white flour, five catties of soybean oil, and two catties of sugar.
Jiang Zhifa looked at these New Year's gifts, gritted his teeth and discussed with his wife, "...... It is said that our life is better this year, but you also know that those incomes are unstable, I thought, next year I will follow the Yihe brothers, his stall is big, I heard that the fish pond behind is to put seedlings, but also to raise chickens, ducks, and try to grow rice, all of which need manpower. Follow him, although it will not be rich and expensive, but it will not be difficult to eat enough. ”
His wife Wang Cuihua pondered for a long time, "Okay, just do what you say, anyway, we don't have much land, I can do it if I get up early and be greedy for the dark." Let's work hard tomorrow, catch a few more chickens, and feed two more pigs, I don't believe that this day will not be lived. ”
Jiang Zhifa went to tell Li Yihe the next day, Li Yihe hesitated for a moment and agreed, not only him, but Jiang Qi, the son of Widow Li's family who followed the Fu family to make the first flower, also came to tell Li Yihe that he wanted to follow him, and let him accept it.
It's not that he is indiscriminately kind, he will accept anyone who comes, Jiang Qi's kid is really good, he can read and write, and he can do some carpentry work, he is diligent and does not have the pedantry of a scholar, in the future, he will go to the county seat to see the shop and collect rent, and there must be such a person to follow.
On the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Yiyuan came back with his son in a mule cart, he was wearing a silk shirt, and the car was pulling New Year goods, what pork, rice flour sugar oil, sugar cube snacks, coarse cloth and fine cloth, although he did not show it on his face, but he was very proud in his heart, thinking that his family must be surprised to see these New Year goods.
Unexpectedly, although the family was very happy about their father and son's return, they did not react to the New Year's goods, and even his wife, who had always been greedy for money, did not show too much excitement, which made him feel a little depressed at the same time, and felt that there must be some reason why they were like this.
The reason for this is that he understood it when he saw the New Year's goods sent by Li Yihe.
The two elders of the Li family each wore a new cotton jacket of silk and a new jacket of silk for each person. The big room is two royal blue muslin and two pink muslin. It's the same with the third room, but it's changed to the same one, but the pink is changed to bright red. The fourth room is the same as the three-room one, but the new daughter-in-law enters the door, and there is a cotton satin handkerchief, and each woman has a delicate head flower, which he has seen, and the county Shangjin Township Fang will sell it for fifty or sixty wen.
He felt a little lost in his heart, in the past, the second child was the least valued at home, but during the New Year, he took two taels of silver back, saying that it was pocket money for the second elder, looking at the laughter of his father, he felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart, and felt that his status was threatened.
And what surprised him even more was that the second child was not as respectful to him as before, and now he was more of a face of respect and deeper alienation for himself, but the hateful thing was that he didn't know why, he knocked on the side a few times, and didn't ask anything, he thought to himself, is it really because he has money, his waist is stiff, and he is so indifferent in front of him?
Without waiting for him to figure it out, he went back to the county seat. Li Yihe only spent Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of junior high school in the old mansion, so he took a large family back to his home because the child was still young, and the Fu family came out of confinement, and the school of the two Li Xuefeng brothers began to attend classes.
Li Yihe was not idle at all, Ye Changsheng was leaving, this work of delivering vegetables to the county was not thrown away, he handed it over to Li Yihe, and now he is soaking in the Ye family's greenhouse every day, and is following them to learn from this greenhouse to cultivate vegetables.
The weather is getting warmer day by day, Ye Changsheng has set a departure date, they pack their luggage at home every day, and they always have to take it away, and they packed more than 30 cages.
He invited the people of the dart bureau to accompany him, otherwise although his people were skilled, so many people would not be able to transport so many boxes.
And Ye Zimo left early, except for him, no one knew where he went, not even the Hua family, which made her, a mother, sad at home for several days.
