Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Anxiety of a Halfway Couple
Aunt Xi counted the days, and there was theoretically a month before the day of delivery, but there were many cases of women giving birth prematurely, so she asked Xi Lin not to go to the fields these days, and hired someone to do the work at home.
hired people to look around, but still found Zhao Tiezhu, Sun Hongxiu's little land is not too much, his own land is busy playing, Sun Hongxiu urged Zhao Tiezhu to do something flexible, and it is good to earn a little money. Playing in Xi's house was even more night work before, and her good husband couldn't go home at night, and she kept the empty room alone. This time, the Xi family was looking for a helper during the day, and Sun Hongxiu asked Zhao Tiezhu to work.
Zhao Tiezhu went to the Xi family to help, and he and the people of the Xi family didn't think much about it, but the other helpers in the field were damaged enough, and directly talked about the time when he wanted to eat swan meat when the toad wanted to eat swan meat, which made him deeply feel that if this man's mouth was broken, he would not be able to compare with an old lady!
"How long ago was the old sesame rotten grain, can you stop talking about it?!" Zhao Tiezhu was anxious, if this reached the ears of the Xi family, it would be so embarrassing, and he would not be allowed to help him when the time came, and Sun Hongxiu would have to talk to him again when he went back!
After everyone laughed, they said, "Don't say anything else, why don't you and Sun Hongxiu have any children yet?" It's not that you can't, right? ”
"Fart!" Zhao Tiezhu scolded, but wondered in his heart why this Sun Hongxiu didn't give birth?
When he returned home, Zhao Tiezhu was eating, and he saw that Sun Hongxiu was boiling medicine, saying that he was suffering from the wind and cold, and he boiled some medicine. ”
"No, you can't drink it." Sun Hongxiu said: "I'll boil another pair for you." ”
Zhao Tiezhu was puzzled, so he asked, "Why do you want to boil it again?" Let's just drink a bowl together! ”
"Men and women don't use it the same!" Sun Hongxiu said, and then poured out his own medicine, poured out the dregs, and then changed it.
Zhao Tiezhu was a little suspicious, feeling that there was something wrong with this medicine, and when he got up the next morning, he secretly loaded yesterday's medicine residue, and the Xi family's land did not go, but went directly to the county seat, found a medicine shop and asked what kind of medicinal material this medicine residue was.
Lang Zhong looked at it and told: "It should be a home remedy." As he spoke, he sniffed it again and said, "It may be a medicinal herb to prevent a woman from becoming pregnant." ”
Zhao Tiezhu heard such an answer, and was angry, didn't this Sun Hongxiu want to give him a child?! I am also a big man, and the children of people of the same age are not small, and I used to have no money to marry a daughter-in-law and have been dragging it out, but now that I have a daughter-in-law, do you want him to cut off children and grandchildren?
Zhao Tiezhu went back to the village in a huff, and Sun Hongxiu saw that Zhao Tiezhu didn't go to work in the daytime, so he went home, so he asked, "Why did you come back at this time?" Let people know that you are lazy, and I am afraid that you will not be able to pay your salary! ”
"I can't take care of anything now, so I'll ask you, what the hell do you think?!" After Zhao Tiezhu finished speaking, he threw the medicine residue in front of Sun Hongxiu.
Sun Hongxiu was a little stunned at first, but when she saw the dregs, she guessed that Zhao Tiezhu must have known, so she said: "I prepared it, I don't want to have children." ”
"What? Why? Zhao Tiezhu asked, "What's wrong with you?" Don't want to have a good time? ”
Sun Hongxiu said: "I want to have a good life, I just don't want to have children." ”
"So why are you there?" Zhao Tiezhu sat down directly, poured a glass of water, and said, "Today I will give you a chance to explain." ”
Sun Hongxiu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid that if I have a child, you will not be good to my daughter." "It's as simple as that, the people in the village are patriarchal, she remarried with her deceased husband's child, she is still a girl, if she gives birth to a child later, whether it is a man or a woman, her daughter is afraid that she will not be cared about, she doesn't want to do this.
Zhao Tiezhu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Why am I not good to Xiao Tao?" "He is also a father, although he doesn't know how to be a good father, but he won't be bad to his daughter.
Sun Hongxiu said: "I'm afraid that if you have your own child, you will ......"
"Are you afraid that if I have my own child, I will treat Xiao Tao badly? How can you! Am I that kind of person? Zhao Tiezhu said.
Sun Hongxiu said: "There is a widow in the neighboring village who remarried, and within a few days, her daughter let her husband sell her, my good daughter, unless I die, or I am sure that I can't let me suffer a little, and I can't be wronged at all!" She was afraid that her halfway husband and wife would end up hurting their daughter.
Zhao Tiezhu was helpless, so he said: "I can't do that, I will be my child in the future, and I must not be partial!" ”
"Then you swear!" Sun Hongxiu said: "The more poisonous, the better, and I'm not afraid of offending you today." For the sake of the child, she can not care about anything, even if she broke with Zhao Tiezhu today, but these words must be explained.
Zhao Tiezhu said: "Okay, I swear, if I treat Xiao Tao badly or partially in the future, then I will have five thunderstorms in the future!" He thinks that this woman just has a lot of things, and he thinks about those useless.
Seeing that Zhao Tiezhu is like this, Sun Hongxiu is no longer stubborn, and his selfishness suddenly seems very stingy.
After entering the house, he took out the remaining two medicines that he hadn't taken, threw them away, and then said to Zhao Tiezhu: "What are you still hanging around here, why don't you hurry up and go to work?!" ”
Zhao Tiezhu thought about it and left, it's good to make this matter clear.
There was a sudden movement on the Xi family's side, Xi's second sister-in-law was really born prematurely, Aunt Xi was a little worried, her two daughters-in-law were both firstborns, both were born prematurely, she was in a hurry, and quickly asked her son to find a midwife.
Inside, the second sister-in-law called death and life, and the people outside could hear it in their hearts.
"Why isn't this a good movement?" Aunt Xi couldn't bear it, so she went in directly to see the situation.
The midwife was sweating profusely and said, "This child is in an incorrect fetal position, and the umbilical cord is wrapped around his neck!" ”
"Then, think of a way!" Aunt Xi was in a hurry, so she could only watch the midwife tossing there.
The child was finally born, and Xi's second sister-in-law also injured her body, and the midwife said that it might not be easy to have another child in the future, but fortunately, it was a son who was born in this birth.
Aunt Xi felt uncomfortable, she had a grandson, but her daughter-in-law couldn't give birth in the future, could she stand it?
Sister-in-law Xi also felt sorry when she heard the news.
However, after Xi's second sister-in-law heard that she couldn't give birth anymore, she didn't feel anything, and said directly: "Even if I can give birth, I don't want to give birth...... "This time I want to die or live, where do I dare to regenerate?"
Aunt Xi saw that her daughter-in-law didn't care about herself, so she felt better.
Xi's second sister-in-law gave birth to a child, and directly asked Xi Lin to write a letter to send to Kyoto City to Xi Hongdou, and now that the grandchildren have children and daughters, Aunt Xi and Father Xi don't ask for anything else.
Here in Kyoto City, Xi Hongdou received a letter from home, and now that he has his nephews and nieces, it is naturally a good thing.
The cattle and sheep sent by Hui have been in place, and Xi Hongdou's business here is getting bigger and bigger, the shop next to it was originally a small restaurant, but the taste does not meet the preferences of the people of Kyoto City, and the business is not good.
There were not many shops in the south of the city, and the rent was cheaper, but Xi Hongdou pondered that it was cheap now, but because she had a lot of people at the barbecue stall, it also attracted some businessmen.
Contacted the landlord here and asked about the price, Xi Hongdou counted the money in his hand, feeling a little not enough, and finally only finalized the four nearby shops, buy it early now, and the house price in the future will definitely not be this price.
But now that there are more empty shops, Xi Hongdou has less money in his own hands, so after thinking about it, he rented two rooms by himself, and when he wanted to expand his business projects, he would take them back for his own use.
Since Su Yuanjia was interviewed by Xiao Zhi, he didn't stare at it every day, Zhou Danxing looked at the beautiful son and felt bored.
Xi Hongdou was busy working in the backyard this day, and now that there are more and more caravans, she has also thought about expanding the scale of the caravan, but manpower is still a problem.
In the current caravan, some of them are Yao San's old acquaintances, and some of them are refugees from outside the city, and now that the refugees outside the city have been dispersed, it is not easy for her to find people.
The stall in front was doing business, Zhou Danxing helped the front and back run, and Sister-in-law Hu was collecting the money here, but it was also orderly, but Xi Hongdou was not happy for a while, and there was a commotion in front.
"Trouble again?" Xi Hongdou was speechless, thinking if it was someone from the Su family who was looking for trouble, but when he went out to take a look, it was really not.
It was a few drunkards who were making trouble, drunk and pulling Zhou Danxing to babble nonsense.
Liang Sheng stepped forward to stop him, and don't scold the drunkard back.
"Isn't this Wan Liuchun's girl? Am I in the wrong place? "Drunkard A's words are frivolous.
Zhou Danxing's face was not good-looking, she broke free back, and the person next to her came over again and said, "Uncle gave you money, and it is all yours to serve the uncle well!" ”
As soon as Xi Hongdou saw this situation, he hurriedly went up, pushed the drunkard aside, and said, "You recognized the wrong person!" Then hurriedly motioned for Zhou Danxing to go in first.
The two drunkards were still entangled, and said, "How could we admit our mistakes, aren't you Mother Su?" ”
The onlookers around saw that he was really a drunkard, so he didn't care, Xi Hongdou hurriedly asked Liang Sheng and Cui Shan to get the drunkard aside first, so as not to make more and more trouble.
When I went back to the backyard and saw Zhou Danxing, Xi Hongdou said, "You can't do this job." "If you can be recognized today, you can be tomorrow, and it is not easy for Zhou Danxing to live in peace.
Zhou Danxing sighed: "Then what else can I do?" "I can't do anything, I'm afraid that people will recognize me.
"Either you leave the boundaries of Kyoto City, or you can do some behind-the-scenes." Xi Hongdou said that she actually hoped that Zhou Danxing would fly away, and she could also save snacks. But Zhou Danxing is also dragging her family now, Zhou Danxing is gone, what should Hu Er do?
"Hu Er will definitely not hesitate to leave." Zhou Danxing said: "And as soon as I leave, who will help this stall?" ”
