Chapter Seventy-Three: Busy Again
However, although Wang gave birth to a male baby, Tianjia Village did not have the custom of washing the child three times and doing the full moon, Xia Zhi heard Zheng say that the child is not good to feed before the age of three, and the big special office is afraid of breaking the child's longevity, and there is a slang about the child: "The dog spends the winter, the cat spends the summer, and the child is busy after the third autumn", and it is considered to have passed a big hurdle after the age of three.
Generally, people have children, that is, to notify a few close families, the family is doing well will come to see, the family is generally nodding to indicate that the master does not mind, but if the host family to the child to hold a three-year-old banquet, it is necessary to be present, if not present, the two may break off.
Of course, the child of the Tian family, that is, Tian Lichun, will hold a three-year-old banquet, because it is the first child of the Tian family to be born, Lao Luotou and the Li family are very important, and the following few small ones are getting poorer and poorer because the Tian family is getting poorer, and the family has been giving birth to a female baby, the family does not pay so much attention to it, the three-year-old banquet is just a little better, and when Tian Liqiu is born at the age of three, the Tian family is poor and has no food, and there is no food to eat.
The first male grandson of the Tian family was born, not only Tian Boss and Wang cried with joy, Lao Luotou and Li were incense to the ancestral tablet of the family that night, in order to thank the ancestors of the Tian family for their souls in the sky, that is, the Lin family, Liu and Zheng are also happy in their hearts, in addition to the hardships of life for so many years, the in-laws treat them well, but so far they have not given birth to a male grandson to the Tian family is also a wound in their hearts, although they are not the ones who have children now, but this wish is also half completed.
For the birth of this little brother, Xia Zhi was also happy in his heart. After all, this ancient patriarchy is serious, although Grandma and Grandpa are not bad to them. It's not like some families only treat women as members of other people's families, and they should be grateful to Dade for giving them something to eat. I also have to do housework all day and all day for the house. But Xia Zhi knew that Grandpa and Grandma looked forward to having a male grandson in the Tian family. It can be seen from Grandpa's special explanation that he does not need relatives to come to visit the child, but he is afraid that there will be too many people coming, and the child will have too many blessings, and there will be a mistake. When Xia Zhi heard Grandpa say this, he only felt that the sky was thundering on his head, but this was not a manifestation of Lao Luotou's attention to children.
Because the child was born in March, the summer solstice grandfather also named Tian Jingzhen according to the naming rules of other children of the Tian family, according to the twenty-four solar terms. Also because of Lao Luotou's special confession, after Tian Jingzhen was born, no one from the Tian family came, and even no one from Wang's maiden family came, so they only asked people from the same village to bring a basket of eggs to Wang. The Tian family still went to work in the field the day after Wang's birth, leaving Tian Meihua alone to take care of Wang's family at home, and help the Tian family do some housework by the way.
Tian Jianong was busy for a while, Tian Meihua and Liu Tiezhu took Liu Dabao home, and it was not easy for Li's daughter to live at home for so long. Before leaving, Li discussed with his four sons and daughter-in-law about preparing to give Tian Meihua five taels of silver, because Liu Tiezhu was injured, Tian Meihua almost spent all the family's savings. Tian Laosi wanted to help her pay for the medicine, and Tian Meihua was unwilling. In fact, Tian Meihua didn't know that the situation of the Tian family had changed, and she felt that her mother's family was not easy, so she insisted on paying by herself.
It's just that what Li didn't expect was. The Wang family, the Lin family, the Liu family, and the Zheng family had already agreed with the four brothers of the Tian family, and when Tian Xiaomei left. One family gave two taels of silver, and there were eight taels together. It is enough for Tian Meihua's family to use it for a long time, and Tian Xiaomei is now following Tian Lichun and them together, and they will have a source of life in the future, and life must be better.
Zheng They saw that the Li family wanted to give money to Tian Xiaomei, and discussed with them, and their hearts couldn't help but feel hot, during this period of time, they all watched how the Li family treated Tian Meihua, and almost all good things in the family were always the first to be sent to Tian Xiaomei, and even a few snacks were also Liu Dabao ranked first, Zheng They knew that their mother-in-law was distressed about the little sister, so although they were uncomfortable in their hearts, they didn't say anything, and they also believed that the Li family would not go too far. Now that he wants to give money to his little sister and discuss with them, it can also be seen that the Li family does not really care about Tian Meihua.
"Auntie, it's not easy for the little sister, you give the little sister money, and we don't object, you should be happy, why do you still shed tears!" Seeing Li's teary eyes, Zheng couldn't help but step forward to joke and persuade.
"Yes, yes should be happy! It is a blessing for A-Niang to be able to marry a daughter-in-law like you, and it is also a blessing for your little sister! Li wiped the tears from his eyes with his hand and said with a sniff. Li has always felt that the biggest thing he has done in this life is to marry these daughters-in-law to his sons, some people are restless every day, but their family has never been, although each daughter-in-law has shortcomings, such as the eldest daughter-in-law said that the wind is rain, the second daughter-in-law is shrewd, the third daughter-in-law always lowers her head and has no sense of existence, and the fourth daughter-in-law usually pretends to have everything in her heart. But the Li family had to admit that the four daughters-in-law were all good.
Li also knew that during this period of time, he felt that his daughter had not come back for so long, and all good things were sent to her daughter, ignoring the family and the children in the family, but she didn't expect her daughter-in-law to blame her, the little sister was leaving, and she didn't add the silver and came out, and Li suddenly felt that she should treat the four daughters-in-law better.
"Hey, what is not blessed, we just look at the little sister is not easy, but also with a child, the hunting in the mountains, usually do nothing to do, but can not be done as a thing, the little sister has no field at home, our family's life is still passable, can help the lining, and when our family is not happy, the little sister has also helped our family! The meat brought back by the child's father was not brought back in vain! ”
"Yes, the fourth sister-in-law is right, they are all a family that should help!" Lin answered.
"What's more, my little sister has served me for the whole month, so I can't spend money on it, and my family can't treat me badly!" Wang, who had just come out of confinement, was still holding Tian Jingjing in his arms, and he also answered.
"Auntie, I can't speak, I also want to contribute to my little sister!" Liu lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"Okay, okay, I'll take the silver for your little sister, and I'll definitely tell Meihua what you're saying!" Li Shi took the two taels of silver handed over by everyone, and put away the five taels of silver in her hand together. As for how Li said it to Tian Meihua later, and how he handed over the silver to Tian Meihua, Tian Meihua confiscated it, and everyone didn't know about it, but they only knew that Tian Meihua was crying before leaving, and asked a few sisters-in-law to take a few nieces to go to her to see more.
Tian Meihua's family is gone, the Tian family has returned to the old life, a month has passed, the chickens, ducks and geese at home have gone out of the house, Tian Lichun puts geese every morning, noon and evening, and the work of the knots has not been put down, Tian Yushui, Tian Chunfen, Tian Guyu, Tian Lixia four people are also running around with a duck every day. As for the summer solstice, in addition to feeding the fish all day long, there is also to follow Lao Luotou and Tian Laosi to the field, after all, this early rice was proposed by her, so she naturally wants to take a good look. Xia Solstice was afraid that the seedlings would not survive, and it was only a few days later that the seedlings that were planted diagonally stood up straight, and Xia Solstice breathed a sigh of relief.
Just relieved that the fish pond Reed fish was going to give birth, and the scared summer solstice began to stare at the fish pond every day, after all, the fish gave birth, and no one knew what to pay attention to, so they could only stare carefully, and they didn't know if the fish was wild or not, and the vitality of the wild fish was strong, anyway, in the case of any preparation on the summer solstice, the mother fish gave birth smoothly, and after the mother fish gave birth completely, Xia Zhi quickly let Tian Laosi fish out the mother fish.
At this time, the ice on the river had already melted, and there were people in the town who sold fish, so the fish caught by the Tian family did not take out the fish to buy, but kept a few for themselves, and sent a few to Tian Xiaomei's family. Let Xia Zhi please the village chief, she can't do it, I'm afraid no one in the Tian family can do it, but give some small grace and Xiaohui, and people won't remember your goodness.
When the summer solstice is over, April has come to an end, and the seedlings under the Tianjia Xujia set are also growing lush, and Tian Laosi and they rushed to Xujiaji to release water to soak in the field, because Xujiaji is not as convenient as Tianjia Village to sleep, and the four brothers of the Tian family were very busy with Lao Luotou for a few days before they filled the 100 acres of land with water. This side is full of water, and the fields that were soaked a few days ago can already be planted, and the family began to plant seedlings non-stop.
The adults of the Tian family are busy here, and the children of the Tian family are not idle, the people who herd the geese have been replaced by Tian Yushui, and Tian Lichun was transferred out to help the Wang family cook, do housework, and help take Tian Jingjing when the Wang family sent food to Lao Luotou and them. The summer solstice is still the south of the village and the fish pond two runs, of course, followed by Tian Xiaoman and Tian Liqiu's two tails, Wang feels that Tian Xiaoman's little leather monkey, after a while, there will be no shadow, she can't take care of it at all, at this time there is water everywhere, Wang is afraid that there will be a case, he will hand her over to the summer solstice, Tian Xiaoman still listens to the words of the summer solstice, so that Tian Liqiu is left in the family, Tian Liqiu feels that it is better to follow the sixth sister, and can know a lot of things, so there is another Tian Liqiu behind the summer solstice, and the Wang family is also relieved that Liqiu follows the summer solstice, After all, the summer solstice sometimes doesn't look like a six-year-old.
It took more than half a month for the family to plant the seedlings in one hundred acres of land, and the follow-up was continued by the four brothers of Lao Luotou and the Tian family, and the Li family returned home with three daughters-in-law, and did not run to the Xu family all day long.
