Chapter 15: The twins are dying of starvation
Her gaze didn't stay on the pheasant for too long, but looked at Mu Dongzhi with concern and asked, "Are they good to you?" ”
When she asked this, she already had the answer in her heart.
In the past, Mu Dongzhi was black and thin when he was at home, but now although he is not white, his face is obviously fleshy.
It's only been three or four days since I got married, and I've grown meat, and my spirit is much better.
Presumably the family treated her very well.
"Okay, I'll go the first day, and my brother will wake up the next day.
Brother Yuan said that I was a blessed one. Mu Dongzhi said with a smile.
Mu Liu hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Then who do you sleep with at night?" ”
"Sleep with Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan is my husband. The eldest brother is the eldest brother of the distant brother, and I also call the eldest brother. Mu Dongzhi said.
Mu Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
After she heard the matchmaker's words that day, she was always worried about whether Mu Dongzhi would be the same wife in the past.
Hearing her say this, she finally didn't have to worry anymore.
Mu Dongzhi didn't think about it so much, and immediately leaned over to look at the two little guys on the bed.
The two little ones were thin and small, and they were still asleep.
She reached out and touched the faces of the two little ones and said, "My brother and sister are so cute." Did my mother name them? ”
Mu Liu's face was a little ugly, and the names of several children in the past were all given by the goddess.
Now, she can't go out, she can't leave the house, and the child's name hasn't been chosen yet.
Seeing his mother's appearance, Mu Dongzhi pursed his lips and smiled, and said:
"Brother Yuan is a scholar, so it's better to let him get it."
"Is that okay?"
"Yes." Mu Dongzhi said that he immediately went to Shen Xiuyuan and asked him to name the dragon and phoenix fetus.
Shen Xiuyuan thought for a while and said, "My brother's name is Donglin, and my sister's name is Dongqing." ”
"Okay, our family is all winter characters, so it's easy to name it like this."
As she spoke, she ran in and said to Mu Liu.
Mu Liu was very happy to see that the child had a name.
However, her brow soon crept up with sorrow again.
The child's father doesn't know what to do anymore.
Of course, she wouldn't say these words to Mu Dongzhi.
Mu Dongzhi said: "It's not early, I'll go cook for you." ”
"Let your eldest sister go, and we'll talk."
"If you have a chance in the future, you have to rest." Mu Dongzhi said and went out.
She ran to the West House, called Mu Dongxue, and said, "Sister, let's go cook." ”
Mu Dongxue lay with her back inward, motionless.
Mu Dongzhi sighed, the eldest sister is still sick, she didn't have the eldest lady's life, but she hurt the eldest lady's illness.
Every day she thinks about asking others to serve her.
With this in mind, she went to the stove to prepare for cooking.
Dongmei had good eyes, and when she saw Mu Dongzhi going to the stove room alone, she immediately said to Shen Xiuyuan:
"Second brother-in-law, you look at Dongyang and Dongye, I'll help the second sister."
Shen Xiuyuan said, "You watch, I'll go." ”
As he spoke, he got up to help Mu Dongzhi.
Mu Dongzhi saw that there was no water in the water tank, and he was about to fetch water with two buckets.
Shen Xiuyuan hurriedly took the bucket and said, "You take me to fetch water." ”
Mu Dongzhi took Shen Xiu to fetch water.
There were not many people at the well, and some people saw that it was Mu Dongzhi and immediately avoided it.
Mu Dongzhi felt uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.
Shen Xiuyuan looked at the deep well and asked Mu Dongzhi: "Did you come to fetch water by yourself before?" ”
Mu Dongzhi said: "Well, I'll hit half a bucket at a time, just run two more times." ”
Shen Xiuyuan felt unspeakably distressed in his heart.
He also saw that the eldest sister of the Mu family was arrogant.
No wonder his little lady has practiced good cooking skills, I am afraid that she was forced by the eldest sister of the Mu family.
He couldn't help but think of the little girl who was beaten.
Immediately, I imagined how Mu Dongzhi was repaired by Dongxue before the winter solstice, and I was suddenly distressed.
Before I met him, what kind of life did the little lady live?
He walked home with a bucket of water in one hand.
Mu Dongzhi followed behind, and his heart was warm.
It doesn't matter what others think of her, it's right that Brother Yuan feels sorry for her.
The two went back, and Shen Xiuyuan helped to cook porridge.
Mu Dong Solstice is noodles, and it is the same as in the morning, with boiling water and noodles.
She got some wild vegetables that Mu Dongmei dug up, and the method was the same as in the morning.
Mu Dongmei and her younger brother were lying at the door of the stove room, looking at the house with blank eyes.
Mu Dongzhi baked the cakes, sandwiched the vegetables and gave them one cake at a time.
The three little ones immediately took the bread and ate it.
Mu Dongzhi continued to cook again, baked the cakes, and prepared to cook for her mother.
Their maternity meal is very simple, just roll out a noodle leaf, put it in a pot, and put some brown sugar.
The noodles and leaves can't be stained together, so you can eat some of the thin soup and little water.
The elderly say that they eat noodles, and they always have a runny nose when they get old.
Those who eat meat always have diarrhea when they get old.
For generations, mothers have eaten thin soup and little water.
Shen Xiuyuan asked, "What do you do?" ”
"Cook for my mother."
"Can't you eat the bread?"
Mu Dongzhi told Shen Xiuyuan about the theory she had heard.
Shen Xiuyuan almost laughed angrily and said, "The mother is already very weak, and she has to support two children to feed.
What do you say is enough for a little thing? ”
Mu Dongzhi thought about it, so he sandwiched the three cakes and sent them to Mu Liu.
Mu Liu saw that she was holding a cake, and hurriedly said, "I can't eat this." ”
Mu Dongzhi said: "If you don't eat, your younger brothers and sisters have milk to eat?" Let you eat, and you will eat. Brother Yuan has read books and understands a lot. ”
Mu Liu didn't expect it to be the son-in-law she had never met to give her attention, and her nose was sour.
Even when her man is at home, she has to avoid giving birth.
Come to think of it, this son-in-law is a person who knows how distressed he is.
Who gives birth to a child who knows, gluttonous and hungry, who doesn't want to eat good things when they see them?
Besides, she still has no milk, and the two children don't cry much when they are hungry.
She still thought that she couldn't support it.
Left and right, then she will try not to taboo it.
So, she plucked up the courage to eat the bread.
When she took a bite, the oil in it was mixed and crispy, and her mouth was full of lard after chewing it, and she was so satisfied that she couldn't describe it in words.
She ate a cake in three or two, and Mu Dongzhi said: "Mother, you eat slowly, lie on the bed and don't move, you have to chew and swallow slowly." ”
"Hey." Mu Liu answered, and ate much slower.
It's just that those three cakes are not enough for her to race between her teeth.
Mu Dongzhi saw that she still wanted to eat, so he went to get her three more cakes.
After eating, Mu Dongzhi took three more cakes.
Mu Liu ate nine cakes in one go, and drank a big bowl of brown sugar rice porridge, so he was full.
It was the most filling meal she had eaten since she became pregnant.
Mu Dongzhi smiled happily and said, "If my mother can eat so much at every meal, the milk should be better." The food rations for the younger siblings are guaranteed. ”
She said as she took the bowl back.
Mu Liu looked at the two children sleeping beside him, and his heart was soft.
I hope I can feed them in the evening.
