An Manyue was completely stunned, hurriedly supported the Xu family, and hurriedly called the Su family who was passing by, and said, "The third daughter-in-law, come over and help." ”

Su Shi hurriedly dropped the dustpan in his hand and ran over, looking at his second sister-in-law worriedly, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"What's going on?" Li came over from the side, saw that the second brother and sister had fainted, and hurried over to help.

"First help the old daughter-in-law to lie down in the house." An Manyue didn't have time to explain at this time, and urged, "Hurry up." ”

The three of them helped Xu into the house.

An Manyue was worried about Xu's body, and when she put Xu on the bed, she began to help Xu's pulse.

Li and Su stood honestly aside.

"Mother?" Li Shi raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, she suspected that something was wrong with her eyes, and said in disbelief, "Will you take the pulse?" ”

The air suddenly became awkward.

After An Manyue finished checking Xu's pulse, she saw that her body was fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief, put Xu's arm into the quilt, and whispered, "Let's go out and talk." ”

Li nodded confusedly, the whole person was confused, and walked out of the second room mechanically.

When she arrived in the courtyard, An Manyue saw that the door of the second room was closed, so she asked: "The second daughter-in-law passed out when she knew that she was pregnant with twins, isn't it good to have two children at once?" ”

At first glance, when he heard An Manyue's words, Li Shiden was a little stunned, and asked rhetorically: "The second brother and sister are really pregnant with two?" ”

Su Shi also looked at An Manyue anxiously.

An Manyue was speechless in her heart, in modern times, her good friend was yelling all day long to give birth to twins, two at a time, saving time and effort, why is it different here?

She checked the memories of the original and found that there were indeed no twins in her village, and she had never heard of them.

"Hmm." An Manyue nodded.

Li's face changed suddenly, and he pulled An Manyue away from the door of the second room, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Mother, twins are a bad omen!" ”

Su Shi, who followed closely, saw An Manyue looking at her and nodded in agreement with Li's statement.

This time, An Manyue was even more puzzled, and wondered: "Why is this?" ”

"Mother, do you know why people give birth to twins?"

Li Shi stared at An Manyue with a serious face, his voice was low, and he stretched out two fingers, as if telling a ghost story again.

"Of course it......" An Manyue was about to talk to Li and Su about the formation and development of fertilized eggs, and after thinking about it, she decided to listen to what the eldest daughter-in-law said first, "You say." ”

Li Shi stood up straight, glanced around, and said that there were no people around: "The reason why people are reborn as twins is because there is a pair of enemies who are reincarnated together. There was a family in our village before, the daughter-in-law gave birth to two sons at once, but the family was happy, but the daughter-in-law gave birth to the child the next day, and the family didn't care, after all, the woman's birth was closed in the ghost gate, and after a few days, the father of the two children was gone, and then their grandparents passed away one after another, these two children lived a big life, and grew up eating the hundred family meals in the village, but these two children quarreled from childhood to adulthood, and later, these two children fell in love with the same girl, The girl was there for two days, and then they liked the same girl, and then the girl died inexplicably, and then all the people in the village who hated the two children died one after another. Since then, there are no twins in our village. ”

One misfortune may be accidental, but many misfortunes interspersed together do not seem to be accidental, and it is common for villagers to be afraid of twins, An Manyue thought so, and asked: "What if someone gives birth to two sons?" ”

"Kill them all!" Li Shi said calmly, seeing An Manyue's face change, and then said, "There are also people who send one of their children out to raise only one child in order to avoid the disaster, but none of those children have lived past the age of three. ”

Superstition!

This must be feudal superstition!

An Manyue was really speechless to the people in this village, thought for a moment, and asked, "What if you give birth to two daughters?" ”

"Killed." A trace of disdain flashed on Li's face, and he said disdainfully, "It's just a girl, losing money and goods, and it's useless to keep it!" ”

An Manyue was about to spurt out a mouthful of old blood, her brows were tightly furrowed, and she said with a cold face: "According to what you say, you are also losing money?" ”

Li was choked, and his face turned into a pig's liver color.

An Manyue didn't bother to quarrel with the Li family anymore, and then asked, "What if you give birth to a son and a daughter?" ”

"This ......" Li shook his head and said, "It's nothing, after all, a son and a daughter don't look the same, and those who have taboos send their daughters to other homes to raise them, and the children can grow up healthy." ”

"Oh, that's right." An Manyue lowered her eyes thoughtfully, pondering to wait for Xu to wake up and comfort Xu.

Hesitating, Xu was frightened, An Manyue asked the third daughter-in-law to buy twenty catties of pork ribs and came back, planning to eat noodle pork rib soup for lunch.

As soon as he heard that he was going to eat well, Li smiled brightly and took the initiative to ask: "Mother, give me money, I'll buy pork ribs!" ”

An Manyue is not stupid, she gave the money to the Li family, and the Li family will definitely secretly hide some of it, and the third daughter-in-law's real temperament will do things in a decent manner, and it is precisely because of this that she is willing to hand over the responsibility of buying meat to the third daughter-in-law.

"It's hard for you to be so diligent, so let's go and roll noodles with noodles!" An Manyue smiled innocently and harmlessly, and smiled at the Li family, seeing the Li family's drooping head, the smile on the corner of his mouth was even worse.

Li Shi walked towards the stove room dejectedly, although he couldn't take the opportunity to buckle a few more copper plates, he could eat meat at noon, thinking of this, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

An Manyue entered the house and took the silver and handed it to the Su family, saying, "Twenty catties of pork ribs, and another twenty catties of pigs to go into the water." ”

"Niang ......" Su Shi held the silver in his hand, at a loss, entangled for a long time, and Ai Ai said, "Pigs, pigs smell big in the water, do you want to buy them?" ”

"Buy." An Manyue knows how to wash pigs in the water, so she naturally doesn't worry about making it unpalatable.

Su didn't dare to say anything at this time, for fear that his mother would be grumpy and leave in disgrace.

Su Shi bought the pig and went into the water, planning to wash it a few more times, saving a lot of taste, Xiaocui is an idle person, and he will also come to help at this time.

When An Manyue came out of the house, he saw Su Shi washing the pig with a sad face, thinking that he was smoked by the smell of the pig's water.

"How's the washing?" An Manyue raised her feet and walked up to Su Shi and asked.

Su Shi stood up straight, put his hands behind his back, for fear that his mother would smell the smell, and said: "The smell is still very strong, mother, you stand far away, don't smoke you!" ”

After hearing this, An Manyue turned around and entered the stove room, where the eldest daughter-in-law was stirring the pork rib soup with a halazi.

Li Shi saw An Manyue coming in, and hurriedly wiped Halazi with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Mother, this pork rib soup is really fragrant, can we eat more in the future, the fourth brother is going to take the Xiucai exam, just to make up for him!" ”

"Hmm." An Manyue responded lightly, took a bowl, took flour and alkali on Li's back and walked outside.

Su Shi worked very carefully, and the pigs were washed cleanly, but the smell was always there, An Manyue poured the powder and alkali in the bowl into the basin and said, "Wash and see." ”

Su Shi was extremely obedient, and after washing it, he touched the pig into the water and sniffed it in front of his nose, his eyes lit up, and he was surprised: "Mother, there is no smell." ”

"Well, let's wash it!" An Manyue said with a smile, the reason why she bought a pig in the water this time was that she wanted to go back and buy a shop as a restaurant, and when the time came, she could sell mutton skewers and knife-cut noodles.

An Manyue didn't dare to introduce too much modern things, and the oven of the lamb skewers had to be slightly modified, but the wine and side dishes could be arbitrary.

When An Manyue was talking and laughing with Su and Xiaocui, Xu walked out of the house with a pale face.

"Mother......

Xu walked towards An Manyue aggrievedly, his steps were frivolous, his eyes were empty, and his small shoulders were still drooping.

But Xu's weak, pitiful and helpless appearance made An Manyue can't help but want to laugh, who made Xu's face a royal sister?

Just imagine, how would you feel when a royal sister was coquettish in front of you......

An Manyue held back a smile, and when she saw that Xu was about to speak, she said, "You are pregnant with a son and a daughter." ”

This sentence warmed Xu's heart like sunshine, and Xu suddenly lost his eyebrows with joy and asked, "Really?" ”

"When did I lie to you?" An Manyue turned her head to look to the side, pretending to be speechless, "I said at the beginning that you were pregnant with two children, and before I could say that you were a son and a daughter, you fainted, you are too bold!" ”

If An Manyue comforted Xu seriously, Xu might suspect that An Manyue was coaxing her to play, but looking at her mother's impatient appearance, Xu was very happy, completely believed An Manyue's words, held An Manyue's arm intimately, and said coquettishly: "Mother, you scare me!" ”

"Okay, don't be coquettish, today you drink pork rib soup at noon, you wash your face quickly, and the eye feces come out!" An Manyue was speechless, Xu Shi changed from a sweet mouth at the beginning to a sticky goblin, she really couldn't stand it!

"Hey!" The one Xu Shi agreed to was called a refreshing one, and she walked energetically, just like the one who seemed to have been hollowed out just now.

Pork ribs and noodle soup for lunch, dishes include stir-fried Chinese cabbage, spicy stir-fried pork and stir-fried rape.

As a result, everyone's mouths were full of oil, the soup in the pot was divided up, the dishes were already empty, and even the pig water that no one wanted to eat at the beginning was eaten up, and one by one was still unfinished.

An Manyue looked at everyone's performance, and understood in her heart that this pig water business can be done.

After the meal, Xiaocui was very diligent in cleaning up the table.

An Manyue was very satisfied with Xiaocui's attitude, and was about to go back to the house to rest, when the third daughter-in-law came over.

"Mother, the old Xiucai of our village is outside the door, saying that he is looking for you to have something."
