In the scorching sun, in the increasing number of grasshoppers, in the flocks of chickens and ducks in the fat land, swaggering through the streets and alleys, time slowly came to April 15th.

Today's shape shì can no longer tolerate the expansion of the Wang family, and is more forced to protect itself: in view of the fact that the Wang family purchased nearly half of the grain in the county in advance, plus the purchase from outside, the Wang family has a lot of food like mountains and rivers, but other families are worried about food, so the Wang family has almost become the target of public criticism. Everyone was red-eyed, staring at the Wang family's grain, and the trend of the Wang family sitting on the powder keg became more and more obvious...... The weather is hot and grasshoppers are swarming, and severe drought and locust plagues are already expected.

It's just that the Wang family has not expressed their stance on how to deal with these grains, so everyone still has a little hope in their hearts: In case the Wang family is kind and willing to help the people? Therefore, no one has taken action against the Wang family.

As the old saying goes: what kind of leader there is, what kind of subordinates. With Wang Shihua, a cunning family head who is tough enough at a critical moment, the Wang family will naturally not show weakness.

External: The Wang family adopted a-for-tat tough approach: fearing that someone would take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, everyone was issued guns and ammunition, patrolled day and night, and was always ready to face the attack of outsiders. Wang Shihua ordered that the passing merchants should be strictly checked, and no matches and other ignitions should be brought to the market. Because Wang Shihua said: This batch of grain is to first ensure that their families do not go hungry, so no matter how big or small, the Wang family regards the grain as their own. Especially under Huang Yaping's Jianyi, each village has a children's group in the city to spy on strangers. Under the layers of checkpoints, all the way to within 20 meters around the granary, no one is allowed to enter.

Internally: Because other families are worried, the Wang family can't eat enough food, which also causes the popularity of the Wang family to become higher and higher day by day. And the Wang family was already arrogant, and now they walk with their heads held high in front of outsiders. Everyone deeply admires the master's foresight and generous care for his family, and as a result, the rumor that Wang Shihua was sent by the eight gods to help the Wang family live a good life has become more and more confirmed, and even some people have given Wang Shihua a prayer card, burning incense and praying day and night. The hearts of the people have made the Wang family more united, and there are almost no fights between each other...... Everyone's energy is all on food, who has other thoughts. It can be said that the cohesion of the Wang family has reached an unprecedented height.

In view of his vision and the courage to make a decisive gamble, Wang Shihua has been in a better mood recently. To put it mildly: looking at the hotter weather and the more and more grasshoppers, he became more and more happy. This strange mentality of being very happy in the face of the year of the catastrophe is also what the Wang family thinks now...... The Wang family was excited.

"Shihua, listen, he's kicking me again."

In the room, a group of women, playing cards, and chatting around Zhang Cuiyun who was lying on the bed, the atmosphere was very harmonious. Zhang Cuiyun's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and her temperament is getting more and more weird, she has really become the ancestor of the Wang family, who dares to make her unhappy, Wang Tian will not do it first. And Wang Shihua's forbearance is getting more and more, as long as it's okay, he will run over to see Zhang Cuiyun's stomach.

"Really, let me hear it."

As a result, it took less than two seconds to put his head up, and he was pushed away by Zhang Cuiyun: "Go away, it's hot..."

Because the temperature did not reach below zero, it was impossible to make ice, so there was no ice available on this hot day, so a few maids could only take turns to fan Zhang Cuiyun.

Wang Shihua smiled and sat obediently on the side.

"Master, can I ask you for something?"

There is no need to guess, during this time, almost all the people who came to ask for things were related to food.

"Well... Mother Wu, you speak. ”

"My niece's family is running out of food, and there is nowhere to buy it, can you approve a slip and give them a little?"

"You don't need to approve the slips, you can go to Shoucheng to get a hundred catties later, and I will say that I agreed."

"Thank you, master."

As soon as he heard this thank you, Wang Shihua looked at Mama Wu strangely, and Mama Wu was a little uncomfortable, so she smiled and said, "Mama Wu, you have been so polite to me when you were a child." What's the matter, there is an old friend? The attitude has changed, and the speech has become polite. ”

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.

"I'll talk about Shihua, you don't make fun of me as an old woman. Don't think that when you grow up, I won't dare to slap your ass. Having already asked Wang Shihua to nod, Wu's mother felt a lot of face, and naturally cooperated with the joke: "It's just that you give me some face back to this old woman and make me happy." ”

Everyone immediately covered their mouths and laughed, and the atmosphere was better.

"Shihua, everyone has been serving me very hard in the past few months, and there is no merit and hard work. In this way, in addition to the 100 catties of grain that Wu Ma just now, one of the people present is counted as one, and each person will be rewarded with 100 catties of grain. ”

can serve in front of the housemother, whether it is loyalty or status, it is enough for their family not to worry about that bite to eat. But the question is, who doesn't have a few relatives and friends? took this 100 catties of grain to give it away, saying that it was given to him by the head of the family, and there was light on his face, right?

Seeing that everyone looked at it with a smile, Wang Shihua said with a smile: "These days, thank you for taking care of Cuiyun with all your heart, this hundred catties of food is naturally to be rewarded, and I hope you can continue to take care of Cuiyun with your heart." ”

"Thank you, master." Everyone quickly stood up and thanked them. The well-behaved one also said: "We should serve the housewife, the head of the family is too angry." ”

The atmosphere is more harmonious.

"Head of the house, master mother, let me tell you a joke." Mother Wu's happy face was shining. Waiting for everyone's eyes to look, she smiled and said, "A few days ago, a new daughter-in-law in Pimple Village went back to her parents' house. happened to run into the quarrel between the mother's family and the next door. When this new daughter-in-law was a girl, she was a little weak, but no one expected that now when she saw the two sides quarreling, she said a few words, but made both sides shut up. Guess what she said? ”

Everyone thought about it and shook their heads.

Wu's mother said with a smile: "She said: I am now a member of the Wang family, but the head of our family has said: I will ensure that we will not go hungry." When the time comes, when you have food, why am I embarrassed to take it back if you are so noisy? ”

This is not a joke, but a manifestation of pride, and of course, here it is also a tactful pat on the back.

"Master, have you ever said this?"

Wang Shihua nodded with a smile: "I have said it." ”

Mother Wu immediately glanced at the audience proudly and said, "Look... I'll just tell you, I brought up the head of the family, I don't know what kind of temper he is? Surely they will not just watch their people starve. ”

The crowd naturally cooperates to cater to each other.

"Raw... ...... was born" At this moment, he saw the camel rushing in, screaming with a bright face.

"What's the birth?"

"Uncle, Huahua gave birth to a big fat boy for the second dog, weighing eight pounds."

"Great, quick... Take me to see it. The first to react was indeed Zhang Cuiyun, as soon as she heard this, everyone else was stunned, but she sat up and struggled to get out of bed. The people who came back to their senses hurriedly stepped forward to serve, and Wu's mother turned around and shouted to the camel while putting on Zhang Cuiyun's shoes: "You go and guard, don't let other pregnant women hug and see first." ”

In superstitious thinking, this is called picking up a child: if someone else has just given birth to a boy, if a pregnant woman also wants to give birth to a boy, it is best to hug the boy before other pregnant women see the child, and she can give birth to a boy in this child.

Everyone hurriedly helped Zhang Cuiyun out of the house, helped her sit on the sliding pole, and hurriedly walked to Ergouzi's house.

When I came to Ergouzi's house, I saw a large number of guards at the door, but the door was closed.

"Big dog, your brother?"

The corners of the big dog Zixi's mouth twitched, and he quickly replied: "He is in the room, and he said that he would not let others pick up the child, so he waited for the housemother to come." ”

When Zhang Cuiyun heard this, he was overjoyed and urged: "Hurry... Let me go, take me in and see the kids. ”

This time, even Yang Guangming, who has never been superstitious, helped urge everyone to give way quickly.

In order not to wash away the luck of picking up the child, others are not allowed to enter. helped Zhang Cuiyun to the door, and after seeing her go in alone, soon the two dogs came out with their mouths smiling, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

After being lively for a while, Wang Shihua shouted: "Ergouzi, you kid is too unkind, we came to say hello, but you are reluctant to invite us to a meal." ”

"Oops~... I'm so happy to see this. Ergouzi slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "The wine and food have been prepared a long time ago, brothers do a favor and bring the table out, let's have a meal here, okay?" ”

"Good..."

In the room, Zhang Cuiyun happily hugged the child, kissed the child's forehead, and then put the jade finger on the child's mouth. The child didn't open his eyes yet, and instinctively opened his small mouth to suck Yun, and Zhang Cuiyun, who provoked him, laughed happily.

The three old women next to him and several stout women from Yang Guangming's family smiled a little nervously: they were worried about their children, and they were even more worried about Zhang Cuiyun. If something goes wrong with Cuiyun, everyone will be unlucky.

"This kid is so cute, like a big ball of meat. By the way, do you have a name for your child? After hugging for a while, Zhang Cuiyun was a little tired, put the child in Huahua's hand with her own hands, and asked with a smile while watching Huahua breastfeed the child.

"Not yet. Why don't you get one for him, master? "In the custom of picking up children, the child's nickname has to be taken by Zhang Cuiyun, a pregnant woman who comes to pick up the child.

"This kid is too thick, I think, this nickname is called Big Fat. This child will definitely grow fat and fat in the future, and he will be blessed. ”

"Borrow your auspicious words..."Huahua gently patted Da Fat's back and called softly: "Da Fat, eat more, the mistress said, you must be blessed in the future." ”

After making a lot of noise, after leaving a jade pendant and a hundred oceans for the child, Wang Shihua and Zhang Cuiyun said goodbye.

As soon as she returned to the house, Zhang Cuiyun complained: "It's all because you don't have the ability, so I'm so tired of walking, give me a leg beat." ”

Wang Shihua glanced at the few girls around him, and saw that the girls were all pursing their lips and laughing, so he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky, and he had to come forward to serve with a smile. No one noticed that Ah Xia, who was standing on the side, looked at Zhang Cuiyun's stomach with bright eyes, but put her hand on her stomach with envy.

At this moment, he saw Iron Stone walking in. didn't speak, just nodded to Wang Shihua. Wang Shihua knew that something big had happened.

gave Zhang Cuiyun a leg beating, comforted her a few words, coaxed her to laugh, and then went out.

"Stones, what's the matter?"
