Chapter 6: Ascending the Mountain
"This ......" Chen Dashan was a little shaken, but he felt that it was not good.
Chen Dahe saw him like this, and continued to persuade, "Third brother, you listen to my brother, that's right, return the medicine, don't make your mother's anger sick again." ”
"Hurry up and get your daughter out, it's better for you to retreat." Li had already let Wang help him up, and she knocked Chen Dashan with a cane and motioned him to hurry up.
Chen Xiaoxiao was in the house, so angry, there is no good one in this family, is it all human talk?
Her mother only conceived a child after more than ten years, and her body was so weak that if she didn't take some medicine, the fetus might not be able to be saved.
The most infuriating thing is that her father was obviously persuaded, although he knew that her father was not assertive, but this was too weak.
Chen Xiaoxiao put all the medicine into the space, she didn't believe they could find it.
Chen Dashan was finally persuaded, he walked to Chen Xiaoxiao's door, wanted to push the door, and found that it was locked from the inside.
He patted on the door, "Erya, I have something to tell you, can you open the door first?" ”
Squeak—
The door opened, and Chen Dashan walked in and closed the door.
He rubbed his hands and said, "Erya, look, your grandmother is also reasonable, do you think we should return the medicine?" Just take those three medicines, okay? ”
Chen Xiaoxiao turned her back to him and did not speak.
Chen Dashan said: "Look, our family is too poor, and grandma also said that there is really no money, where did you put the medicine, give the medicine to your father, and your father will return it to you." ”
"No, Dad, do you want a son anymore?" Chen Xiaoxiao turned around and was very disappointed.
"I ...... I'd definitely like to, but isn't there no way around it? Chen Dashan slammed his chest, "Our family has no money, your grandmother is a lot old, we should be filial to her." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao, "Dad, let me ask you, what are we?" Dad doesn't care about me and my mother, and the child in her belly? ”
"I ...... It's Dad I'm sorry for you, it's Dad who is useless! ”
"Okay, Dad, you go out first, I won't return the medicine, I made an IOU, and Lu Langzhong can't return it, Dad, what you can do is to think about how we make money, don't give it to grandma recently to make money, and when we save enough money, let's pay back the money ourselves." After Chen Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she pushed Chen Dashan out.
Chen Dashan didn't react, he was pushed out, he looked at the compound, and for the first time he didn't hesitate, and went back to his house.
As soon as he opened the door and met Xiao Li who was squatting by the door, his heart hurt all of a sudden, and he hurriedly pulled her up and helped her to sit on the edge of the bed.
"Damn, I'm sorry for you, you have been married to me for so many years, and you have never enjoyed any blessings, but you have suffered so many sins." Chen Dashan felt really guilty in his heart, he covered Xiao Li's hand, and his rough big hand wrapped her calloused little hand.
"I, I don't complain, as long as I'm with you, I'm very happy, and our children." Xiao Li gently stroked her belly and whispered, she didn't complain, but when she thought that her man was too miserable, and her daughter was still there, she thought about it and endured it.
Chen Dashan hugged each other and said intimate words.
On Chen Xiaoxiao's side, she was relieved to see that Chen Dashan didn't go to the compound, she opened the door and went to the kitchen.
It's about to make lunch, and she still has to do it, and the whole family points to her to work, but the eldest aunt and the second aunt don't work at all.
The Chen family's meals are almost the same, breakfast is rice cereal, sometimes there is not, if there is no two meals a day, lunch is rice cereal paste and add some steamed bread fried vegetables to eat, dinner is also similar.
Usually, farmers don't eat meat except for the New Year's holiday, unless it is a wealthy family, they can see some meat, obviously the Chen family is very poor.
But the days in Chenjia Village are almost the same, and there are even worse, one meal a day, not even steamed buns.
Chen Xiaoxiao started to light a fire, added water to the leftover rice cereal in the morning, sprinkled some rough noodles into it, and went to the backyard to pick vegetables.
The dishes in the backyard are also taken care of by Chen Xiaoxiao alone, and the Chen family does not see anyone at work, and only appears when they eat and step on the third room.
After a lunch was cooked, Chen Xiaoxiao carried something to the hall, Li was already there, she didn't speak, she brought it to Li.
At this time, the people in each room of the Chen family came out one after another, and the Li family was sharing the rice, Chen Xiaoxiao took a tray, waited for her to divide it, put the three of them in the wooden tray, and went back with it.
"Mother, look at Erya, this girl, she is not polite at all, she has a straight face when she sees us, and she doesn't even say anything if she doesn't eat here now." Chen Xiaoxiao could still hear Wang's voice when she walked away, and hearing her say this, Li was really angry.
Chen Xiaoxiao didn't hear what was said later, she opened the door of her parents' house and went in.
Chen Dashan wondered why Chen Xiaoxiao came with the rice, and asked, "Erya, why did you bring the rice, your mother and I are thinking about it." ”
"Let's eat here today, Dad, the three of us haven't eaten together, and now we have a younger brother." Chen Xiaoxiao put the food on the table, and Xiao Li also sat down.
Chen Dashan is very diligent, and loves to ponder, most of the tables and chairs of the Chen family are made by himself when he goes to the mountains alone, although the appearance is not good, but it is strong and durable.
He also put a table in his room, which was just right now.
Chen Dashan looked at his daughter's sallow little face, and felt bitter, her daughter was originally very good-looking, and her appearance followed her mother, but she couldn't eat good things for many years, her body was thin, and her little face was pale.
Chen Xiaoxiao didn't know what her father was thinking, she took a bowl of rice, and after taking a big sip, she said, "Dad, we have to make money, we can't hand over all the money, my mother has a younger brother, we have to make up for it, and I will have a lot of money after I am born, why don't we go hunting in the mountains?" ”
Chen Dashan sighed, "Where is it so easy to hunt, dad goes to the mountains to see, get some trees back, make some tables to go to the town grandma, and weave some straw sandals, it's time to save more money, your dowry hasn't been settled yet." ”
"Daddy, I'll go with you after dinner." Chen Xiaoxiao nodded, that's the only way, she can't think of any way to make money.
After eating, Chen Xiaoxiao went to the hall to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then went to the mountain with Chen Dashan, and Xiao Li stayed in the house to rest.
Chen Xiaoxiao told Li that she was going to hunt pigweed, so she would cut it and put it in the back basket if she saw something along the way.
They walked along the mountain road, and occasionally saw one or two rabbits, but as soon as they saw people, they ran away and disappeared, and they could not catch them at all.
Further inside, Chen Xiaoxiao saw pheasants, but they were more able to hide from people, and they could fly, Chen Xiaoxiao ran over, not only did the pheasants not catch, but also fell.
