Seeing that Su's mother was wiping her tears vigorously, Xue Langzhong saw this doll, and it was not easy to tell the whole story of the doll, so he only said: "This doll was born at a bad time, it has to be raised with goat's milk!" ”

As soon as she heard the goat's milk, Su's mother was worried. In the past, when I was in the capital, those dolls from big families had to eat goat's milk after taking breast milk, and I heard that a small jar was worth a lot of money, she was just an ordinary village woman, how could she afford it.

"Isn't this goat's milk precious?" Su Mu pulled her daughter and asked softly.

"Mother, didn't my brother earn a lot of money at the temple fair in Xianghe Town a few days ago? If you don't give yourself a doll flower, who will spend it? ”

"Don't mention your unruly brother, I used to count on the money he earned to support the family. Since beating his own wife and giving birth to a female doll, he doesn't know where to go even with his money! Su's mother also complained about her conscienceless son, leaving her and her daughter-in-law, and now her daughter-in-law is gone again, she is really tricky alone.

"No matter how expensive Xue Langzhong is, this doll's life is always going to be wanted!" Su Mi's brown eyes were full of worry, and there were beads of sweat on the tip of her nose.

"This doll is congenitally insufficient, it's not a matter of having more money to survive!" After Xue Langzhong finished speaking, he went to the inner room. The doll was thin and small, with some wrinkled skin, but its cheeks were horribly white. Without crying or making trouble all day, Xue Langzhong unwrapped the brocade cloth and pricked a needle in his chest.

If it was an ordinary doll, it would have been crying a long time ago, but this doll is just a pair of eyes, staring at Xue Langzhong, which makes people panic.

Ten taels of silver were spent in Xue Langzhong, and Su Mi had no money on hand, so he had to say that the man would give it in a few days. This Xue Langzhong waved his hand, "This is Su Binghuai's doll, he is wandering around this town, and when I see him, I will look for him in person!" ”

The three of them returned to Sujia Village with the doll, Zhao Laosan and Aunt Wang had already started to make a fire to cook dinner, and Gu Chun Gang would be buried tomorrow, and there were so many people who came here.

Hearing her son-in-law say that she was optimistic about the land and the day of burial, Su's mother was relieved, holding the doll, taking the goat milk that Xue Lang bought in the middle of the house, and went to feed the doll.

"Husband, you've worked things at home!" Su Mi saw that the man was sweating profusely, and hurriedly reached out to wipe the beads of sweat on his cheeks.

The little lady's cheeks were red, her face and neck were full of sweat, and the man couldn't help but feel distressed: "Lady, go and rest for a while, there are not many people here here, Uncle Wang and I can deal with it." ”

Just now in the town, Xue Langzhong took credit in the middle of the account, Su Mi was a little embarrassed to talk to the man, but this money could not be given, cheeky: "Husband...... I...... I'm just going to Xue Lang in the middle of ......"

"Is the doll alright?" Zhao Laosan is still worried about the doll, after all, this is also his niece. In order to give birth to this doll, Gu Chunqi took a human life.

"Doll...... The doll is temporarily raised according to the method Xue Langzhong said, but it is just ...... It's just ...... to see a doctor."

"I knew that the lady didn't have any money on her, so I was in a hurry, and I didn't give the lady some money. Don't worry, after the sister-in-law here is buried, I will go to Xue Lang and settle the account on credit! When the man finished, he buried himself in the work at hand.

Su Mi stood not far away, staring at his man, his tired eyes were sour, and he was choking with tears. As a husband, regardless of his previous suspicions, after being busy at his mother-in-law's house, the people of Sujia Village saw it, and they were afraid that their eyes were very hot.

This night, Zhao Laosan arranged for tomorrow's funeral, and when he came to the bedside, it was almost four watches. Su's mother coaxed the doll in the room, looked at the doll, and wiped her tears vigorously.

After finishing the work, seeing that Su Mi hadn't slept yet, he twisted his eyebrows and took off the gown on his body, lay on the bed, and reached out to clasp the waist of the little lady: "Why doesn't the lady sleep yet?" ”

"Husband, this family has been a little poorer since the death of my father. Although my brother and sister-in-law are lazy, they are a complete home after all, and now, only the mother and the doll are left. Su Mi was worried about her mother, and when she saw that she was in a trance all day long, reading some nonsense in her speech, she became more and more worried.

Zhao Laosan was very tired, he glued to the bed and closed his eyes, wanting to sleep, but he was worried about the little lady sleeping next to him, his thin lips pecked a little on her cheek, and comforted her softly: "Don't think so much, lady, isn't this Su Binghuai still alive?" Now he is the only man in the family, and this doll is his own flesh and blood, and when he understands this reason, he will naturally come back! ”

"Today, Xue Langzhong also said that in the town, I saw the eldest brother!"

"He can't go far, but he is unwilling and scared!" Zhao Laosan finished speaking, pillowed his little lady's cloud-soft hair, and fell asleep.

slept until the fifth watch, and Zhao Laosan got up! Su Mi didn't close her eyes all night, she was thinking about it, and when she thought of these things for her mother in the future, she was worried about the doll and her mother, so she couldn't sleep.

The man got up, and she was ready to get up, and it was quiet outside, "Husband, I'll get up with you!" ”

A big rough hand pressed her: "Even if the lady can't sleep, lie down and rest for a while, this doll is pitiful enough, I don't want our doll to be like this!" ”

After the man finished speaking, he felt that his words were too heavy, so he turned to a gentle voice: "Good lady, there are not many people at this funeral, I'll arrange it." Hello life rest, the doll in our womb matters! ”

Su Mi knew that the man felt sorry for him, nodded, reached out and tucked the corners of the quilt, and lay down again. It was quiet outside, and the chickens in every house were still crowing.

Zhao Laosan got up and was busy preparing the breakfast of the people who came down to help, and Su's mother was guarding the doll all night. After eating the decoction and goat's milk prescribed by Xue Langzhong, this doll's spirit is a little better. But how should we live this day in the future?

Su Mi was worried about her mother, and after the man left, she got up to see her mother and niece. Seeing that the doll's face was a little better, and the corners of her mouth were still smiling, she was a little relieved: "Mother,

This doll has become more energetic overnight, so don't worry too much! ”

"How will you live in the future?"

"Mother, after my sister-in-law is buried, we will keep this doll at home, and my husband and I will come to see it often in the future!" Su Mi knew that someone from the Gu family wanted to pass this doll, but Su's mother remembered that it was the incense of the Su family, so she did not agree.

"Now that I think about it, it's better to give it to the Gu family, at least I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and maybe I can find a good family in the future!" After Su Mu finished speaking, she reached out and teased the doll in her arms. The doll smiled and bit Su Mu's finger.

Seeing that the doll was better, Su Mu also smiled, but her cloudy eyes were still full of tears.

Li Daniu rested in the Su family's firewood room last night, and heard that Zhao Laosan was up early in the morning, so he put on his clothes and came out to help.

"This Su family's firewood room is really comfortable to sleep in, and in the future, I will simply tell my eldest brother that this firewood room will be kept for me!" Li Daniu rubbed his eyes, washed his face, picked up a pile of dry firewood, and handed it to Zhao Laosan.

"You are used to sleeping in a firewood house, so what kind of house do you build, just build a thatched house!" Zhao Laosan took the firewood and teased him.

Li Daniu sat in front of the stove and set up firewood, which dried and ignited a raging fire after a while.

"I didn't build the house in Zhaojia Village for myself, in the future, Qinghe was disliked by my mother-in-law, and I can still bring the doll to live together!"

Li Daniu invited a strong man from a neighboring village to build a house in the past few days, and built the backbone of six or seven houses in a day or two.

It was time for Gu Chun to be buried, but fortunately, there were people in the village to help, and the funeral went well. After the burial, Su Mi hugged the doll and wiped her tears vigorously at the door, but the doll in her arms did not cry or make trouble.

After eating lunch, she saw two or three grandmothers coming to Su's house at the ridge. Su Mu recognized that the one who walked in front also came a few days ago, and was the nurse of Gu Chunqi, and now she is the housekeeper mother of the Gu family.

"They're asking for dolls again!" Seeing this, Su Mu cried even more.

Su Mi was also stunned and a little flustered, Li Daniu went to the house with a shovel and stood in front of the woman: "This is my eldest brother's only bloodline, if these old women want to take the doll, then step on my corpse first!" ”

Zhao Laosan, who was not far away, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and did not say a word, nor did he stop him. Seeing this, Su Mi knew what he was thinking, and paced over and grabbed his strong arm: "Husband, this doll?" ”

"Lady, this doll is the blood of the Su family and the Gu family after all. Now that my sister-in-law is gone, this ancient family can still let people from the suburbs of Beijing take their granddaughter back to raise her, which is also a kind of love! ”

"What does the husband mean, is it to let this grandmother take the doll away?" After Su Mi finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Su Mu, who was crying sadly standing at the threshold, and felt a little embarrassed.

"Although the ancient family is in decline, there is still some foundation in the family. The old man remembered the family affair with the old man of the Su family, and married his daughter, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. Now, let people come back to hold their granddaughter and raise it, which is probably the best place for this doll! Zhao Laosan didn't say much, he knew that his mother-in-law was thinking about what to do, and he had to leave the incense of the Su family in the Su family.

"Will my mother agree?" Su Mi's voice was very small, and a pair of brown eyes flickered, full of worry. Seeing that the three grandmothers from the ancient family were getting closer and closer, the dolls in the house began to cry.

"I have to talk to my mother about this carefully!" Zhao Laosan whispered to his mother-in-law, but Su's mother had already stopped at the door and closed the door of the hall.

Seeing this, this Su Mu didn't let the people of the ancient family take the doll away no matter what. After listening to Zhao Laosan's words, Su Mi felt that what his man said was right. After all, my mother is old, and now that the war is raging, I can't tell when I have to move out again. This ancient family is different, and in the future, this doll will be regarded as a young lady in a big family.
