Lin Dagang drove a tractor to the county seat, just when the weather was clear, the car body was full of straw, Zhao Ming, Jiang Xiaodong, Xu Guoliang followed the car out, so as to lift the golden bull to get on the car, Meng Tao took advantage of the tractor, and bought a few more quilts in the supply and marketing cooperative, Mr. Liu and his party of four people, as well as Meng Jinniu, the quilt at home is not enough.

The newly bought quilt is just for the Taurus to cushion, and the tractor will drive slower again, and the road will not be bumpy.

Xu Guoliang saw Meng Tao pushing over a new bicycle, asked if she had just bought it, and immediately grabbed it. On the road, he rode a brisk new bicycle, suddenly pedaled to the front of the tractor, and followed slowly behind, very proud, riding the tractor so noisy that his ears were almost deaf, riding a bicycle by himself is much better, and he can look around to see the scenery.

On the tractor, Jiang Xiaodong turned his head to look at Xu Guoliang from time to time, and Zhao Ming also looked at it with a smile, Meng Tao has a bicycle ticket that everyone knows, and she has money in her hand, which was returned by Tian Zhigao, so it is not surprising that she can buy a new bicycle.

It's just that Meng Tao said, she has a few hundred yuan, how many hundred? This bicycle is a flying pigeon brand, which is very expensive, in addition to asking for a ticket, you have to add more than 100 yuan to make it. Looking at the way she has spent a lot of money recently, even if it is seven or eight hundred, nearly a thousand yuan, I'm afraid she is already facing the end of the mountain, right?

After this girl saw it, she really changed her person, so it's okay, life in the world, who doesn't want to live arbitrarily and happily? When the daughter is gone, she will come back, and she will have such courage if she is confident, strong and capable.

Zhao Ming looked up at the opposite side casually, Jiang Xiaodong and Peach Blossom were sitting side by side, Peach Blossom carefully took care of Taurus's injured leg to prevent being shocked, Jiang Xiaodong leaned back slightly, and one arm bypassed Peach Blossom and climbed on the steel bar of the car body, in a protective state.

That day, Jiang Xiaodong handed Peach Blossom an envelope in the hospital, which was pushed open by Peach Blossom, Zhao Ming glanced back, and he knew that the envelope contained money.

Before the educated youths went to the hospital to visit Taurus, they also discussed whether to buy things or directly pool some money for the brothers and sisters, and finally thought that Peach Blossom would not accept money, because she still had money in her hand, so she bought some fruits and nutritional products.

But Jiang Xiaodong privately wanted to give Peach Blossom money, Zhao Ming felt that Jiang Xiaodong would not simply want to fund Peach Blossom, this person might have other ideas.

Zhao Ming turned his gaze away and sighed secretly, everyone can have many ideas, but in the current situation, is it enough to just have ideas?

The tractor drove to Yanchong Commune, Zhao Ming looked at his watch, it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and when he returned to Linshui Village, it was estimated that it would be more than four o'clock.

The journey was smooth, and it took three hours to get back from the county seat.

After the supply and marketing cooperatives and the non-staple food store, Meng Tao shouted to Lin Dagang to stop for a while, she jumped out of the car and ran into the non-staple food store, Jiang Xiaodong followed, and then Xu Guoliang, who arrived later, also parked the bicycle and followed in, and after a while, the three of them came back with things in their hands.

Meng Tao bought two pig bones, three catties of fresh pork belly, four catties of water tofu, a handful of celery, two cabbages, four white radishes and a bag of potatoes, she told Jiang Xiaodong and Xu Guoliang that she still received some ham meat and sausages and beef jerky sent from the provincial capital, and she was going to have a big meal tonight, and wanted to buy two more roast chickens, Jiang Xiaodong stopped it, saying that a big rooster raised by the educated youths weighed four or five catties, and she was waiting for Meng Tao and Jinniu to come back and slaughter it.

Xu Guoliang said that how can there be no wine for a big meal? Tonight's wine, he packed!

Meng Tao thought of the peach blossom wine and chrysanthemum wine she brewed at will in the space, which had no technical content at all, and directly sprinkled the petals into the wine jar, and then sealed it, but I don't know if it can be done? Anyway, I can't drink it now, at least for a year and a half.

The tractor drove and continued to drive towards the village.

In the era when there were no mobile phones and no televisions, remote mountain villages did not even have electrical circuits, and there were basically no entertainment programs.

Meng Tao was not in the village for nearly 20 days, after Aunt Yang gossiped and explained to everyone, Captain Bao confirmed that the whole village knew that the old Meng family of Naliang Commune was going to send a grandson who broke his leg to Meng Shengli as a descendant, so Meng Tao went to the county hospital to treat her cousin, and now that she is back, many adults and children, especially mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law, have come to Meng's house to see the excitement.

Fortunately, Meng Jinniu came to Linshui Village last time, and he was familiar with his face, otherwise he would have to be pinched up by his mother-in-law and mother-in-law to take a closer look.

Rao is like this, everyone is still very critical of looking at the injured leg of the golden bull, chasing and asking if it will be okay in the future? Can you still walk and work? was worried that Meng Tao would suffer a loss, so he picked up a crippled brother and came back.

Meng Jinniu was placed in Zhao Ming's room, and his mother-in-law surrounded his bed, and Jinniu answered their questions honestly and patiently.

A few large travel bags brought back from the county seat, as well as the quilts bought, Zhao Ming and Jiang Xiaodong both moved to the hall house, Meng Tao opened one of the bags, took out two large bags of fruit candy and melon seeds, handed them to Sun Yutang, and asked him to go to Meng Jinniu to distribute sugar, two or three sugar and a handful of melon seeds per person, eat sugar and eat melon seeds, it is estimated that they will not talk around the golden bull.

This errand is good, Qian Liang smiled and followed to join in the fun.

The tractor was still parked at the intersection over there, Meng Tao walked over with a blue cloth bag, saw Lin Dagang squatting on the rear wheel to check something, and asked him what was wrong, Lin Dagang said it was okay, just to check.

Meng Tao asked him again if his daughter-in-law gave birth? Lin Dagang said that he was born, and he was a girl.

Meng Tao smiled and said congratulations, it was also a coincidence, the two pieces of muslin she picked were pink, which was just right for girls.

handed the blue cloth bag to Lin Dagang: "This is the brown sugar I bought last time, a little heart, you can take it back." When I'm free, I'll go over and see the two of them. ”

Lin Dagang looked at the bulging cloth bag, there must be more than a little brown sugar here: "Peach blossoms, too much, right?" Our brothers and sisters in the village, don't be so ......"

Meng Tao handed the bag to him: "It's brothers and sisters, and the days that will last forever are for my sister-in-law and little niece." Come over when you have time in the evening, the educated youths are going back to the city for the New Year in the next two days, and my Taurus brother has just come back, and I have some wine and food, and everyone is lively! ”

Lin Dagang took the bag and said with a smile: "Okay, then thank you!" I'll join in the fun at night and drink with a glass of wine! ”

Meng Tao nodded, she still had a bunch of things to do, so she turned around and left.

Lin Dagang drove the tractor to the locomotive room of the brigade and parked it, rushed home, and saw his mother come out of the kitchen with a dustpan at the gate of the courtyard, he subconsciously took two steps back, looked left and right, stuffed the cloth bag in his hand into the cotton clothes, and then walked into the yard with his stomach in his arms, shouted Mom, and entered the house.

Mother Lin looked at her second son and felt that he was a little weird today, and she didn't know what was wrong, so she didn't think much about it and lowered her head to do her own thing.

Lin Dagang lifted the curtain and walked into his room, the room was cold and swishing, he couldn't help frowning, there was charcoal at home, his father-in-law sent a sack over, saying that it was for his daughter-in-law to use it for confinement, but his mother was too provincial, and he was always reluctant to burn, as long as he was not at home, there was no brazier in this room.

He was a tractor driver in the brigade, and he sent many people in the village to the commune health center and the county hospital, but his daughter-in-law gave birth but could not go to the hospital, just because his mother said that she gave birth at home, so many women in the village gave birth at home, and nothing happened.

Lin Dagang didn't understand this, so he obeyed, but his daughter-in-law suffered a loss when she gave birth, bleeding a lot, more than ten days have passed, and now her body has not been raised, and her mother-in-law came to visit him and scolded him, saying that a woman's birth is to pass the ghost gate, especially the first birth, it will be fatal!

Lin Dagang regretted it too much, and tried to make up for it these days, taking care of his daughter-in-law and daughter as long as he was free. His mother was very unhappy, saying that there was something about giving birth to a girl? Lin Dagang just couldn't hear it, the girl was also his, and he had to be in pain.

The relatives came to visit with things, basically they were all taken by his mother, and they couldn't reach his daughter-in-law, and now they haven't separated the family, and the younger siblings have to spend it everywhere, and his mother seems to make sense: the relatives come and go, and it's not for your young couple to manage, it's all your mother and son who come forward.

Lin Dagang understands the difficulties of fucking, but it is too much to do, his daughter-in-law can't eat nutrition and her body is not good now, her daughter is as weak as a little mouse, she doesn't have the strength to cry, he can't help but hide some selfishness.

Dagang's daughter-in-law leaned on the head of the bed to breastfeed the child, and when she looked up and saw the man coming back, she suddenly had a bitter face and was about to cry: "What should I do?" I'm out of milk, she can't get enough of it! ”

Lin Dagang hurriedly asked: "Yesterday her aunt sent a little hen, I slaughtered it this morning, didn't my mother stew it for you at noon?" ”

Dagang's daughter-in-law shook her head: "Didn't your cousin give birth too?" Today, my mother took it and went to the ceremony. ”

Lin Dagang turned around and was about to go out to find his mother's theory, but when he got to the door, he came back, took out a blue cloth bag from his cotton coat and handed it to his daughter-in-law: "The peach blossom is for you and our daughter, let's see what it is first?" ”

Dagang's daughter-in-law handed the small robe to Lin Dagang: "It's warm to hold her, and the room is as cold as an ice cellar." ”

Lin Dagang: "......"

When you got married, you shouldn't have learned what kind of bed frame people use, in fact, the soil kang in winter is really good.

He unbuttoned his cotton coat and wrapped his daughter in his arms.

Dagang's daughter-in-law untied the blue cloth bag and took it out in the same way, which was two pieces of cloth, two packets of brown sugar, one each of canned milk powder and malt milk essence, and two big red apples.

Dagang's daughter-in-law's tears suddenly dripped down: "With milk powder, my daughter can drink to her heart's content; The fabric is soft and beautiful, and my daughter has not yet had a decent garment...... Peach Blossom, why is she so caring? It's like my own sister! ”

Lin Dagang was grateful to Meng Tao in his heart, and he was glad that he had a private mind and didn't show the cloth bag to his mother.

"Daughter-in-law, don't cry, they say that crying during confinement will hurt your eyes. I'm going to burn charcoal, boil some boiling water, make milk powder for my daughter, and you can drink some malt milk essence too. Tomorrow, I'll kill the hen at home and make it up for you!" ”

Dagang's daughter-in-law wiped her tears: "I used to drink malt milk essence at my mother's house, this thing is so fragrant, I can smell it from afar, if they ......"

"It's okay, I'm here. Don't mention peach blossoms, don't bother her. Let's just say it's a gift from your maiden cousin. Put away the things, lock them in the cabinet and eat them yourself, don't give them to anyone who asks! ”

"yes, I see."
