Chapter 36: Brother or Sister

After bidding farewell to Dong Changchun, Xue'er's life returned to calm, and the Yun family did not beat her again, and even asked her softly: "Xue'er, do you say that the mother is in the belly of the younger brother or sister?" ”

Xue'er said hopefully: "Of course it's my brother." ”

She really hopes that Yun's belly is her younger brother, because Yun's role is too bitter, she hopes that even if Yun's can't gain love, at least she can have a son to rely on, so that she can have a support in the future.

It is almost impossible to expect Dong Changhe to treat her well.

Dong Changhe went home on time during this time, rarely stayed in Shuijiazhuang, and tried to come back as early as possible to accompany the pregnant Yun family.

Maybe it's because of her stomach, or maybe it's because of guilt.

The countryside says that children can see things that adults can't see, so Yun is convinced of Xue'er's words.

She laughed happily: "Okay, if my mother can really give Xue'er a younger brother, then in the future, when Xue'er gets married, she will have her mother's younger brother to support her, and her husband's family will not dare to bully." ”

Xue'er didn't think about it, she felt that she came to this strange time and space and family, and she didn't know what she would do with Dong Changhe of the Yun family in the future.

If she can really have a brother who is connected by blood, then she must take good care of him, establish an inseparable sister-brother friendship with him, and make up for her regret that she has no relatives.

Because Yun was pregnant and caught up with spring ploughing, Dong Changhe brought back a few subordinates on this day and came to his house to help plant the land.

Although the Yun family is capable, there is one thing that makes Dong Changhe a headache, that is, she works slowly, for example, others can cook a meal in half an hour, but the Yun family has to take nearly twice as long.

In order to allow the subordinates who came to help at home to eat on time, Dong Changhe had to bring a cook back.

This situation was not unheard of in the past, so neither Yun nor Xue'er felt anything special.

Now that Yun is pregnant, it is when the fetus is unstable, Xue'er takes on almost half of the housework, and her six-year-old body can't cook for more than a dozen people.

Yun is not stingy in hospitality, and takes out all the food he treasures, like dry goods collected in summer.

For example, mushrooms, fungus, daylily, dried beans, etc., are all difficult ingredients.

In the past, these were usually only enjoyed by Dong Changhe.

But now the whole family eats the same, and occasionally Cher can eat it now.

These dry goods are all collected by Yun's on the mountain, and some are eaten in the season, and all that cannot be eaten is dried and stored.

There are also home-grown vegetables, which can not be eaten will also be dried and kept, such as kidney beans, eyebrow peas, eggplants, long beans and so on.

Xue'er had to admit that the Yun family was indeed a good person, and when there was a guest at home, Dong Changhe didn't have to buy ingredients outside to come back.

For example, pork, the Dong family kills two pigs every winter, except for entertaining guests and giving gifts during the New Year.

The rest of the fat and fat will be baked out by the Yun family. The roasted pork fat is enough for the family to eat for a whole year, and the remaining oil residue is sealed in the jar and kept for daily eating.

Part of the leftover pork is marinated with large grains of salt so that it is not easy to spoil, and part is made into bacon.

The remaining pork bones are all marinated with large grains of salt, and they can be used to cook soup and vegetables.

The remaining pig offal, and the uneaten pig intestines will also be pickled, and all the jars will be put into the cellar.

In this way, the Dong family does not need to sell meat for almost a year.

There is also seafood, every year the Yun family will go to the sea several times, the sea vegetables and some shellfish obtained from the sea to dry, and wait until the New Year's Festival, or the guests at home to take out and eat.

So although more than a dozen people came to help at once, Dong Changhe didn't need to buy any extra food, he had it at home.

Yun's habit is very similar to Xue'er's grandmother in her previous life, her grandmother is quite good at running a family, and Xue'er is also quite "stingy" when she teaches her.

The chef who came to be in charge of cooking was surnamed Qiao, and everyone else called her Sister-in-law Qiao, and it was probably not the first time that the Yun family had seen her, so she warmly said: "Sister-in-law Qiao, I'm bothering you again this time." ”

"Oh, it's nothing, Steward Dong usually takes care of our family, and I should come to help.

I heard that Steward Dong said that you are pregnant again, and I haven't congratulated you yet! I hope you get a man this time. "Sister-in-law Qiao is a festive person, she speaks pleasantly, she smiles, and she sends blessings when she opens her mouth.

"Borrow your good words from sister-in-law Qiao." Yun smiled, as if he was sure that this baby was really a boy.

"This is Cher, oops, what a beautiful girl, the longer it is, the better it looks!" Sister-in-law Qiao looked at Xue'er who was standing on the side and praised.

"Hello Aunt Qiao." Cher smiled politely.

Sister-in-law Qiao praised: "What a good boy, beautiful and polite." As he spoke, he reached out and touched Cher's little head.

"Sister-in-law Qiao is exaggerating, how can she be as good as you say, she is just an ordinary girl, and she looks a little pleasing." Yun said modestly.

Yun has always had a little inferiority complex about her appearance, and she can't see that others are more beautiful than herself, even if it is her own daughter, she doesn't like it. He is modest on the lips, but secretly resentful in his heart.

"Oh, what a thing! The last time I saw it, I thought the snow girl was a delicate child, and this time I saw it more and more exquisite. You are blessed, and you will soon have both children and daughters. It's really enviable, unlike the four stinky boys in our family, who go to the house every day to uncover the tiles.

When I saw the snow girl, I wanted to take it home to be my daughter. Sister-in-law Qiao said exaggeratedly.

"Sister-in-law Qiao is enviable, if I can have four sons, I am willing to die." Yun's heart was a little unpleasant.

Sister-in-law Qiao also knew that her words had accidentally poked Yun's lung tubes, and hurriedly remedied: "What can't die!" Your blessings are at the back! Blossom first and then bear fruit, and in the future, the son will also be a promising, like Steward Dong.

It's not like the stinky boys in our family, all of them are unconscious. ”

Sister-in-law Qiao rolled her eyes and asked with a smile: "Snow girl, but you have a baby kiss?" I like it when I see this child, why don't we get married to each other? You can pick my four stinky boys. ”

When Xue'er heard this, her heart rose to her throat, poof, poof, she heard it clearly. She looked at Yun Clan worriedly.

Yun always felt that Xue'er was young, so he didn't avoid her with many words. Seeing that Qiao's sister-in-law mentioned the baby kiss, she smiled and declined: "Sister-in-law doesn't know, my family once said that Xue'er's marriage has to wait until the end of the marriage, and I don't want to settle it so early."

My sister-in-law's children are young from Xue'er, so it's better to wait for the children to be older. ”
