Chapter 15 The peach blossoms are beginning to cover the dust
Long.
They pushed the cart in embarrassment and challenged the slope of the ditch with great force. After rolling for a while, I stepped on the dead grass and climbed out smoothly.
On the road, they slapped each other on the snow and mud on their bodies, without complaining. But they still don't forget to stare at the red clouds that have long since passed, even if it is just a vast expanse, they are still looking forward to luck, looking forward to the beauty looking back, or falling from the sky.
An hour later.
The sugar gourd skewer in Mengyao's hand has long been gone, and the slender jade hand tightly hooks a large bag of sunflower seeds.
One of Erxi's feet was on the ground.
"Are your feet numb? Slow down. "He will always be his mother-in-law and mother to Mengyao.
Carrying all the snacks, they went into the house. The old woman still knelt behind the door of the east room and prayed, and as soon as she entered the outer room, she smelled the smell of grass and trees, and through the curtain of the door, she heard the sound of prayer.
"Bless my people to be prosperous, add people to import, and a hundred grandchildren run around in the courtyard."
As soon as Erxi heard it, he could immediately distinguish what his mother was thinking, and his old face turned red. Peeked at Meng Yao again, and wanted to tell her mother about the possibility of shy surprises, but she was embarrassed to say it, hehe.
Entered the house.
Looking around the wall, with all the pictures of the baby boy, his heart finally fell to the ground. This happiness is simply not too sudden.
Leaving everything behind, Erxi went out, he swept the snow in the courtyard, swept from the door of the house to the gate of the yard, and then swept to the thatched house, and the corner where the winter vegetables were buried, and rejoiced.
Finally, I didn't forget to pile up the snow at the roots of the peach tree at the door. The small peach tree, which represents a special meaning, has long been tied with straw by Erxi and tightly wrapped in a large layer. In the spring of the next year, it will be even stronger, and it will not worry about the strip at all.
Mengyao took off the lychee red and didn't see Erxi, so he came to the outhouse.
Erxi saw her come out, "Don't come out, it's cold, just stand in the wind gate, I'll cover our little peach tree with a quilt." That's good, huh. ”
But in order to make Mengyao happy, he picked up the shovel three shovels and two shovels, and slapped them a few times, and there were two simple snowmen standing next to the peach tree, holding hands around the peach tree.
Mengyao looked straight in the eyes.
He didn't stop, he was worthy of being a carpenter and bricklayer, and he dug out two of them, and the bent body of a snowman became an arched bridge.
Erxi bent over, pressed his face to the hole, and shouted into the hole: "Hey! Can you still see me? ”
Sure enough, most of his body was blocked by the snowman. But in the hole of the arched bridge, his face was revealed, and Meng Yao covered his mouth and smiled and bent over!
"Oops, it's scared to death! Come on in, haha, cold. Meng Yao looked at his frozen red cheeks and frozen purple nose, and greeted him distressedly.
Erxi slapped his trouser legs, stomped his feet, and walked over, not forgetting to turn around and say, "That snowman, one is you and the other is me, ha." ”
Mengyao's cheeks were crimson, she was only 18 years old, and she had not yet tasted something, in order to alleviate the unspeakable hints in her heart, she hurriedly opened the door for him.
When he got to the house, before he could do anything, Mengyao shouted, "Brother Xizi, I'm hungry!" ”
When the second joy heard this, the face that was half crying and not smiling was filled with joy again, isn't it really pregnant!
"Quick, Grandma, oh no, little Grandma. Lie down on the kang quickly, don't do anything, I'll come, I'll come. My mother and I are your lifelong slaves, you can drive them as you like, don't move the fetus. ”
"Oops, what are you talking about?" Meng Yao listened to it and was very embarrassed.
"Ah, in this belly, but the Miao Miao of my Liu family, it should be a male baby, the little three are happy and the four are happy, haha, I want to have a child too......"
Erxi, who was shouting, ran out of the house with a puff of smoke and beckoned the old mother to be busy with food.
Eat pies at noon.
When Meng Yao saw that it was cabbage filling, he thought it was good, so he ate a lot, but after the meal, he was sick to his stomach and vomited.
Erxi hugged Mengyao in distress, and kept smoothing his back and chest, for fear that he would spit out the letter cookies he had just eaten and two Jiang rice sticks.
For three days, Mengyao didn't eat much.
When Erxi wanted to take her to the hospital, she suddenly stopped vomiting.
The old woman moved her half-big foot and went to the neighbor's house to buy some sun-dried purslane. Mixed with purslane and Chinese cabbage, wrapped a meal of vegetable dumplings, ate 2 at a meal, the old woman and Erxi took turns to serve, and Mengyao's vomiting was stopped.
When everything was fine, her belly was completely bulging, and during this period, her mother-in-law and Erxi were even more humble and obedient to her.
They don't let Mengyao go out, they want to eat and talk, and the next day, they must buy it at the market and put it on the table.
The Spring Festival is coming soon.
"I want to go back to my parents' house," Meng Yao, who had a big belly, pouted with a small petal mouth.
"Oh my little baby, this Spring Festival is not good, your body is inconvenient," Erxi reluctantly refused.
"What then?" Mengyao was teary-eyed.
Erxi was also a little unbearable when he saw it, so he took Mengyao's hand and hugged it to show comfort.
But Meng Yao still pouted.
Seeing this, Erxi reluctantly said, "If you don't send a few dollars to your parents, if you don't get the money, you should be regarded as a daughter and son-in-law, and buy some New Year's goods for his second elder, okay?" ”
"Uh-huh." When Meng Yao heard this, he nodded and stopped his tears.
In the spring, Mengyao can only move in the yard and can't go out, while Erxi and the old woman are busy working in the fields all day long, and after being busy, the old woman has to go home early to cook.
The old hen in the courtyard rolled her eyes obliquely and looked at this incomparably noble Mengyao, quite unconvinced.
"Why is her status at home more important than ours? Giggles. ”
"Yes, look at that big belly, isn't it sick?"
"No, no, isn't she going to lay eggs like us?"
"I don't think so, if the egg should have been laid a long time ago, it would definitely not be an egg. Either that's sick and something bad grows in your belly. Otherwise, it's been so long, and such a big egg, why hasn't it been born? ”
"Well, don't forget, she's been wandering around the courtyard since last year, but she hasn't given birth yet, so she's definitely not an egg."
"Besides, only our noble hens will lay eggs, and people will definitely not, just like they don't have wings, they are not as good as us, we are in a hurry, we can fly."
"Look at how noble her status is like the queen of the family, hey, we're all jealous, giggles."
The old hens were piled up in the corner of the wall to bathe, fluttering their wings and talking.
Mengyao's belly was as big as a balloon in the blink of an eye, as if she was pregnant with at least two babies. In the middle of June in the solar calendar, summer came, and the year was surprisingly hot, and there was a leap July.
Suddenly, one night.
Meng Yao shouted that his stomach hurt, and a lot of warm water like rice juice flowed out, and he didn't control it at all. But in her horror, she could feel that it was definitely not urine.
Erxi was both surprised and panicked when he saw this, and even rolled and shouted at the old mother, who panicked, thinking that she would give birth to three and four happy so soon.
She played with her life during the day, did farm work in the field all day, and was so tired that her whole body was extremely sore, so if it wasn't for her son to shout, she really wouldn't have woken up.
Erxi desperately ran to the village doctor's house.
The doctor was a forty-year-old woman, and as soon as she heard that she was going to give birth, and it was her first child, she quickly picked up the box and ran after Erxi. But far away from home, I heard the old woman crying, "Ah, how can I live!" ”
Erxi's heart sank suddenly.
Bite? Could it be that something is wrong? His head buzzed, he didn't want the mother and son to have problems.
Doctor Erxi and the village have quickened their pace.
The crying actually came from the East House, but Meng Yao lived in the West House, so he ignored the crying. The doctor and Erxi hurriedly lifted the curtain of the West House and took a look.
The smiling faces of all the baby boys on the walls remained the same.
Meng Yao was lying on the kang head of the West House with her eyes half-open, and slowly closed her eyes with a calm face, she was not noisy or noisy.
Gave birth to a child in a flash of lightning? What is the old mother crying about, everything is still normal? Hmph, deliberately bluffing things.
The female doctor stepped forward and only cut the umbilical cord and went back.
Erxi looked at it, but he was dumbfounded when his legs were in the middle of his legs. Even when the female doctor left, he didn't send it when he was out of shape, and he was indifferent and demented there.
Because, he just saw clearly, the three joys and four joys that he had been looking forward to burning incense and worshiping the Buddha were actually one instead of two, and he was still fucking a baby girl.
Oops, my old face.
What about my twin sons? Where did it go? Where did it go? Could it be lost? Changed the prince by a tanuki? This, this, this is not at all the result of the whole family, burning incense and worshiping the Buddha on the day of the fight.
Looking around the wall again, the smiling big-eyed baby boy, no matter what posture, is a man, so what, why doesn't it work?
Why did she give birth to a baby girl?
Erxike looks forward to having a boy day and night to continue the incense and shine to the ancestors, and in the countryside, he is also a good laborer. In such a day, it can be prosperous and prosperous, and only in the village can it be established and looked down upon.
Having a girl?
If you lose money and goods, you have to get married, and the water spilled by the married girl will be in the village from then on, completely clearing the household and cutting off the incense.
He stood on the ground, crying without tears in embarrassment, drooping his head, dejected, and did not continue to look at Mengyao any more, let alone look at the picture of the baby boy posted on the wall.
Meng Yao seemed to be so tired that he fell asleep, and there was a lot of blood under his body, and the side had coagulated, forming a black and red blood gaba.
It took a long time for Erxi to come back to his senses. Walking heavily and being slapped in the face, he silently tearfully cleaned up the blood stains on the kang head.
The old woman was still hoarse.
"Why did I give birth to a girl, which generation did I lack yin virtue, God punished me so much, why can't I get along with me. What I thought, why didn't I come to anything? If you don't want to make money, why don't you come to give birth to a male baby, I'm not alive, I ......"
Then there was the sound of "knock knock" hitting the gable, followed by a burst of crying and laughter, and then a head hitting the wallboard, and the sound was muffled.
"Woo Woo Woo Woo ......"
Erxi wiped the wrinkled and crying baby girl, she was simply a begging ghost. He was extremely reluctant to use toilet paper to vigorously wipe the blood on her body, waist, and a blue irregular birthmark, which made him disgusting to look at.
The baby girl had just come out of her wet and warm belly, and was exposed to the air, and when she first arrived, the little living being was so desperately resisting and extremely reluctant.
The air was dry and cold, and the little body suddenly broke off the belly-like tight wrap, and the limbs exploded in all directions, unable to be retracted, which was really uncomfortable.
Seeing that no one has been paying attention for a long time, she is still desperately dissatisfied and resentful, crying and venting her dissatisfaction. The waving little fist is stuffed into the mouth for a while, and the fist turns into a few crooked chick paws, grabbing his wrinkled little face without knowing how lightly.
After a while, she was helpless, painful and desperate, opened her small eyes, almost gray, and slowly glanced at the woman who was lying silent, and an old man with a scruffy beard, extremely depressed.
