At noon, the courtyard of the Liu family was full of people. On the high small western-style building, the handlebar-style big country is restless. From time to time, he would wave his hand downstairs: "Didn't you come?

Impatient. With that, he sat down, took out a large tobacco pouch, and pressed the dry tobacco. Take out the fire, snort, light the pipe, and take a few puffs.

Xu Guoliang, who was in the kitchen, heard the big country tell him that the fourth lady hadn't come yet, so he was so anxious that he put down the pair of big buckets in his hand that were about to carry water, and trotted towards the main hall of the house. Mr. and Mrs. Liu

Sitting in the hall of the hall, he was also very anxious: "I say, let Zhao Di go overnight." It's all you, with many mouths and many tongues, to change my mind. You see, no one has come back until now. Look at one

The daughter-in-law screamed, crying and howling so much that people were disturbed by the six gods. "Master Liu is singing a complaining play.

The third wife, Sun Xiufang, was counted by him. But she didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only bear it silently. Who allows himself to do bad things with good intentions, and this matter of being a human being is not trivial. One

A sentence has to live, a sentence has to die, and it is better to shut up in the future. She really wanted to slap herself a few times and do all these thankless things.

Unexpectedly, the master was angry, and the cook Xu Guoliang hurriedly came to report to the master. When everyone saw this, they hurriedly got up and walked towards the gate. Overjoyed, he hurriedly asked Xu Guoliang:

"How is it, it's the fourth lady, they're back!" the third wife, Sun Xiufang, rushed to the front. She didn't wait for the fourth wife Xu Huaimei to speak, so she interjected and asked impatiently.

Xu Guoliang shook his head: "Hey, I'm here to report to the master, the big son is in the small western-style building, and I haven't seen the fourth lady come back yet." Master, what do you think this should be done? The young lady hurts

I almost rolled in bed. ”

When the third wife heard this, her face turned blue all of a sudden. You say that this cook who kills a thousand knives is really not working, so he will mention which pot! The old man has just become angry, and his anger has not yet subsided. He'll be again

to add fuel to the fire. was so angry that the third wife pushed and shoved and said to Xu Guoliang: "Oh, the master is losing his temper, what are you doing here, go and have your business!"

The fourth wife, Xu Huaimei, shouted from behind: "Hey, hey, you let him finish speaking, everyone is coming." It's not, delay the good intentions of other people's cooks!"

Hold the cook.

Xu Guoliang didn't know that usually, the third wife and the fourth wife were always intrigued. If anyone encounters a trouble, they must gloat behind their backs. It seems that the third lady is right.

Look at the old man in the living room of the hall, with his hands behind his back. Stumbling around, looking extremely impatient, it is better not to provoke him. Then, if the fourth wife wants to talk to the master by herself, she must not be at ease. in

Yes, in a hurry: "Oh, I'm still cooking vegetables in the pot." Don't burn the paste, you can't eat one at noon. After saying that, he ran away. The fourth lady just stretched out her hand and didn't hold it.

"Alas, I said that you are a cook, you really bite Lu Dongbin, you don't know the hearts of good people!" After speaking, she twisted her ass and went back to the living room. Sitting on the sofa with a huff, he didn't say a word. You don't

Seeing that the fourth wife was silent, her heart and lungs exploded. Because, he wants to take advantage of the old man's anger. Just let Xu Guoliang join in the fun, in this way, the master will definitely bomb the third wife,

Out of control. In this way, her heart is much more comfortable.

Of course, Mrs. Three is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The two of them are needle-to-needle, and one does not let the other. It's the eldest wife Guo Dongmei, and the second wife Qiu Keyun, and the cousins say that the east is good.

The West says the West is good. Never compete with others, and never care about personal gains and losses. It's all one family, not two families. Alas, fortunately there are two good wives. Suppose, the four wives are like the four wives

Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Three. Then this Liu family compound will have a good show to watch!

Master Liu sat on the rattan chair, and the fourth lady hurriedly leaned over, picked up the hookah on the table and handed it over: "Master, or, send someone to Sanqiuzhuang again to have a look." I heard that there is also a place

There was a midwife, one of the best in the world. The fourth lady said as she walked behind the master. Crackling, knocking on the back of the master.

The eldest wife, Guo Dongmei, sat on the sofa against the wall. Holding the soles of your shoes in your hands. A needle was taken over, and the tip of the needle was exposed, so he took out the needle puller, connected the needle with the thread, and pulled it over. To the lord and the third wife, the fourth

What Mrs. said was deaf to her. As if she hadn't heard, she did her job. In terms of appearance, the eldest lady has a good nose and eyes, and her eyebrows are beautiful. It's just that he is over half a hundred years old, and his body is blessed, than

The other three wives, the eldest lady looked a little fatter. However, the upper body of the flower cloth cotton demon, the lower body of blue cloth cotton pants, and the feet wear a pair of cotton shoes made of black striped dragon cloth. With a small mustache on his head, one

The golden hairpin is inserted in the middle and fixed. In addition, the eldest lady is tall and her skin is slightly white. Ingenious and kind. At first glance, you know that he is a shrewd and capable person. Such people, when

It is a well-deserved one that belongs to a good wife and mother.

The second wife sat opposite the eldest lady, and the two of them were ten years apart. If you want to say that this second wife came to Liujiazhuang, she has to thank one person. She is the eldest cousin of the second wife: Guo Dongmei. It's this

What's going on: Guo Dongmei married Master Liu and didn't get pregnant for three years, but Liu Yuanwai was in a hurry. He asked the matchmaker to renew a second room for Master Liu. Guo Dongmei knew about this. He took the initiative

I consulted with Mr. Liu and said that her cousin was honest and had studied in a private school. Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, she knows everything, knows everything. Ah, it can make Master Liu happy. The cousins married one of him

People, of course, couldn't be better. As the saying goes, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. The two cousins lived together, and the family was harmonious and the relationship was harmonious.

Fact, it really is. The second wife, Qiu Keyun, became pregnant less than a year after marrying Liujiazhuang. Coincidentally, the eldest wife, Guo Dongmei, became pregnant first with the second wife. Ah, you can take Master Liu

His father, Liu Yuanwai, was happy. What's even more incredible is that the two cousins, one of whom helped Master Liu, gave birth to a big fat boy. Oh, Liujiazhuang has been flourishing since then. Just two

In the year when his grandson just turned ten years old, Liu Yuanwai died at the age of eighty-nine. Before leaving, Liu Yuan smiled outside and passed away without any regrets.

Besides, the second wife of the family really lives up to her reputation. You see, the big lady takes the soles. And she is holding a pillowcase embroidery, stitch by stitch, like flowing water. She is ingenious and returns from time to time

I like to roar twice. A popular Yangzhou tune, in the mouth of the second wife, sang vividly, and people were fascinated by it. Like the eldest wife, the second wife, Qiu Keyun, from

It's not fast, it's fast-talking. Say what needs to be said. Don't say big things, never say them. Jealous, the two sisters have never been.

It's always the fourth wife and the third wife, who have nothing to do. The big thing of sesame, after the toss of the two of them, immediately became a big fence. Look at today's incident, the fourth wife knows Master Liu

is angry at the third wife. Not only did she not accept things, but she did the opposite, gloating about the trouble. I can't wait for Master Liu to slap the third wife twice, and she is satisfied. See a plan

failed, and flattered and betrayed. I want to give advice to Master Liu to show that I am interested in Master Liu.

Master Liu squinted his eyes and stared intently at the hookah. When I heard the words of the fourth wife, Xu Huaimei, I suddenly felt that there was some truth. His eyes lit up, and he pointed at the third wife, Sun Xiufang: "

Xiufang, you go tell the housekeeper for me. I said it was me, and told him to go to Sanqiuzhuang and bring the midwife. ”

Although the third wife was extremely reluctant, the old man knew that there were so many maids in the family, but he let himself run errands. However, he said one more word at night and grabbed the handle for the master. Alas, also

Listen to him. If you are cheap, you should end up like this! Sun Xiufang stood up with a huff. His hands slapped his apron and glanced at Mrs. Four. Straight, toward

The bookkeeper's room walked over.

didn't take a few steps, but I saw the big country hurriedly running over: "Master, master, the fourth lady is back." He didn't bother to say hello to the third wife, and ran towards the living room of the hall. You can put a third wife

Overjoyed, she immediately stopped. Turned around and followed the big country and came to the hall.

"Master, Fourth Miss, they're back!" said the big man and looked at Master Liu with a smile.

When Master Liu heard this, he hurriedly put down the hookah in his hand and stood up suddenly: "Are you really back?"

The big man nodded: "Master, it's true!"

"Then you are in the small western-style building, did you see Ma Niangniang coming?" Master Liu continued to ask uneasily.

"Well, the horse lady is riding a yellow horse. It's different from our Black Wind Horse, I can see it at a glance. "The big son definitely replied to the master's words.

Master Liu pointed to the big country and said, "Let's go, lead the way in front." Let's go to the gate together and welcome Ma Niangniang, okay?"

"Let's go, sir, I'll help you go!" As soon as the old man moved his feet, who else dared to sit still behind him. Including the eldest wife and the second wife, they got up one by one and dressed up, and put their foreheads and hair with their hands

After wiping it, follow the master.

Outside the gate, Liu Zhaodi and his entourage surrounded Ma Niangniang, and dismounted. Seeing that it was Master Liu leading people, Ma Niangniang stood at the gate to greet her, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Ah, what."

What kind of person, dare to drive Master Liu out to greet him, what a sin and a sin!" she bowed with her fists and slammed her head to the ground. Hurriedly return the salute.

"Hehehe, Ma Niangniang has arrived, how dare my old man be a family three. You're welcome, you're welcome!"

The third aunt, Sun Xiufang, greeted her from the room: "Hey, hey, I can look forward to Ma Niangniang, I'm in a hurry for our old man." After speaking, she waved her handkerchief: "Let's go, let's go."

Let. The midwife is here, my hanging heart can finally let go!" In my heart, I still linger in my heart.

Ma Niangniang greeted Master Liu, but she didn't have time to wait for the others to meet, so she hurriedly picked up the small medicine box: "Master, I won't accompany you to chat." You have to see how your daughter-in-law is

。 ”

"Oh, work hard, you, just go with your business!" the old man did not follow Ma Niangniang, because that is where the woman enters.

In the room: all the maids hula flashed away, and one by one they bent over and gave a salute to Ma Niangniang: "I've seen Ma Niangniang, you have worked hard!"

Ma Niangniang: Nodding at them to express her gratitude! Without saying a word, she went straight to Zhao Chunhua, who was lying on the bed. And close to her, with a big bulging belly. On the bed, I screamed in pain

Zhao Chunhua fidgeted: "Mom, it's painful for me, ahhhhhh She called out with her eyes closed.

Ma Niangniang looked at Zhao Chunhua's face, and a nervous and busy facial expression was suddenly revealed. She took the medicine box from Liu Zhaodi's hand and took out the equipment from it

, while comforting Zhao Chunhua said: "Don't be afraid, young lady, how can you give birth to a child without stomach pain." Stick to it first, you have to save your physical strength, and use it when the child shows his head. ”

I saw her holding a large and small wooden cylinder in her hand, placing it around Zhao Chunhua's navel, moving up and down, left and right, and putting it on her ears and eyes to listen.

Zhao Chunhua, who was lying on the bed, secretly opened her eyes. At this moment, she saw what Ma Niangniang was holding in her hand, and she didn't know what it was. On your belly, move over, move over, pound

Drumming for most of the day. Curiosity forced her to her feet and to see what was going on. In the room: The maids and their wives also abandoned their breathing one by one, for fear of affecting Ma Niangniang's judgment.

The four wives gathered in Zhao Chunhua's room, plus four little maids, and the room was crowded with women who filled the Liu family's compound.

The third wife was uneasy in her heart! Because the man Zhao Chunhua was his own son, named Liu Shiquan. This woman has a baby, it's like a big pass! You say it's easy, yes

People and children have crotch, and nothing happens. If you say that it is not easy for her, the fetus has a horizontal belly, and there is also a leg that comes out first......

In that case, adults and children will die for life. No wonder she was tense. With a trembling mouth, she asked Ma Niangniang in a soft voice: "Ma Niangniang, how is it, fetal position."

Positive?"

Seeing Ma Niangniang's meeting, she was in a hurry. She kept listening to her daughter-in-law Zhao Chunhua's stomach. After a while, put down the earpiece and touch it with your hand on the left and right of the big belly. The expression was solemn

The whole room was about to suffocate.

Several wives, a heart jumping, accompanied by a rapid panting sound, the air in the room, as if frozen. The wives didn't dare to come out, and they didn't dare to ask. Because, no one

Taboo unlucky words.

Finally, Ma Niangniang put down the earpiece, smiled at Sun Xiufang and said, "The red sun is shining! The young lady has a good constitution and is full of energy. shun

Yes, it's going to be fine. But you can't be careless, because the young lady has been in pain for a long time. Hum chirp, and there is a lot of force. You might as well boil a bowl of red date rock candy for the young lady first

Eat the lean porridge and prepare a pot of hot water for later use. Let's go and get ready, I'm here!" After speaking, Ma Niangniang began to put on gloves and disinfect them with alcohol. One piece, one pile

pile, she is meticulous.

Everyone listened to Ma Niangniang's words, and their faces were immediately full of spring breeze. Ahh At this time, as soon as I heard that the fetal position was positive. The hearts of everyone who were hanging finally fell

in the stomach. Sun Xiufang was even more excited when she heard it. Everyone, turn your worries into joy. Although, this time the child has not yet been born.

She kept wiping her chest with her hands, comforting herself at the same time. Take a look at Miss Four Zhao Di from time to time. The fourth lady, who had been staring at her sister-in-law's painful expression, also followed her face in pain. No

Stop grabbing one of her sister-in-law's hands to cheer her on.

The third lady looked terrible, she didn't want the fourth lady to see the painful expression of a woman giving birth, she wouldn't be scared to refuse to marry, right?

Above. High can't be, low can't. Let her see that it is so difficult and painful for a woman to give birth. It's not good, she was so scared that she didn't dare to marry for the rest of her life. As a mother, of course, she has to take the exam for her daughter

Thoughtful.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly greeted: "Zhaodi, hurry up and tell the kitchen to boil water, the sooner the better." With that, she sat at the head of the bed and wiped Zhao Chunhua's forehead with a towel, and the beans were sweating profusely

, rolling down from the forehead.

Ma Niangniang soothed: "Young lady, don't be nervous. Tell women that giving birth to children is a glorious thing. Men, they want to have children, and God doesn't give them a chance. though

At first, it hurt a little. After a while, as soon as the teeth are bitten, the eyes are closed, and the child is forced, the child will come out. After speaking, she turned her head and glanced at the third wife, and saw that the third lady nodded at her.

But when the third lady looked up, the fourth lady was still standing in the room, motionless. She was so angry that she shouted at Zhao Di: "Zhao Di, why are you still standing here? I didn't hear me call you just now."

What are you going to do?"

"Mom, you're confused. Early in the morning, Sister-in-law Diao Ming'e boiled boiling water and poured tea bottles. Two people, this time they are busy cooking lunch!" Liu Zhaodi scolded her mother a little bored

Sentence, she didn't understand why her mother didn't want her to watch her sister-in-law give birth. Learn it yourself, what's so bad!

A few wives didn't understand what Sun Xiufang meant. It's all women, let's see what it's like to have a baby. When the time comes, it will be good to come upon yourself. Learn a lesson,

It's a rare opportunity.

But Sun Xiufang's stubborn temper came up. Grandma is a bear, the dog bites Lu Dongbin, you don't know the hearts of good people. I'm just afraid that you'll see it, and I don't want to get married. Dare to talk back to me, angry

She yelled at Liu Zhaodi: "You'll be okay when the water is boiled, go to the kitchen for me to help cook the vegetables." Today's kitchen is adding vegetables, the two of them can't be busy, and you can't help here.

It will only add to the chaos. ”

Liu Zhaodi understood: her mother really didn't want her to watch her sister-in-law give birth. She knows that her mother started the fire, right or wrong, you have to obey. Otherwise, it will only add fuel to the fire

。 So, she pretended to be scared and said, "Hey, don't you just go to the kitchen to help, I can't leave, and I can't always see idlers in my eyes." With anger, he turned and walked out the door.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's killing me. ”

"Young lady, please bear with me. Save some effort and wait until your child shows up. Ma Niangniang persuaded Zhao Chunhua, she opened the quilt with her hand, stretched out her head and looked inside......

At the moment when Ma Niangniang buried her head in the quilt. Outside, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, overwhelming the sun's glare and hitting the room. Immediately afterward, there was a "boom" in the sky

String of muffled thunder. The heads of the trees, rustling with the wind. The sky was soon covered with dark clouds.

In the pitch black, the sky above the Liu family's compound was surging and thunder rumbled. Where lightning and thunder roared, torrential rain poured down. On the streets, people rushed to tell each other. The donkey shouted and the horse barked, and there was a mess

The people who gathered in the group were frightened by this sudden natural phenomenon and hid everywhere. Someone asked: "Ah, how can there be thunder and rain on the second day of the second month of February!"

"What's going on? In broad daylight, how can you say that it's dark?" Sun Xiufang asked as she glared at everyone. Everyone was speechless, shook their heads, and quickly looked for the lamp.

Liu Zhaodi held an umbrella and hurriedly ran over: "Mom, it's thundering and winding and raining outside." I'm afraid that my sister-in-law's room will be dark, so I'll send you a lantern. Immediately, the lantern was turned on and placed on

On the windowsill.

The fourth wife, Xu Huaimei, stretched out her head and looked outside: "Hey, it's really a good day." In broad daylight, what kind of thunder, what kind of wind, what kind of rain? ”

Sun Xiufang continued her words: "February is full of thunder and snakes, and the Year of the Rat is a disaster to escape. It seems that this year does not bode well. ”

"Ouch, ouch..." Zhao Chunhua suddenly screamed, interrupting the two wives singing and harmonizing. Ma Niangniang buried her head in the bed: I don't know what's going on outside. cause

For, she was engrossed in observing the young lady's movements: "Young lady, the amniotic water has broken and the child has emerged." Fast, hard, hard. Okay, take a deep breath, take a deep breath......"

"Ahh......h......h

I saw Ma Niangniang, holding the baby with both hands, picking up her feet and "patting" two slaps on her buttocks, and then crying with a "wow...... a new life. she

Put the baby on the paper, skillfully pick up a pair of scissors, "chirp" to cut the umbilical cord and bandage it......

"Congratulations, ladies and gentlemen. You hug your grandson!" Ma Niangniang smiled and announced the long-awaited good news.
