Chapter 16: Regarded as an ancestor
"No hassle. Xu Wanning waved her hand again and again, "We have already eaten." ”
As he was talking, a woman with a big belly walked out.
Even though she is pregnant, her body is thin and pitiful, her face is particularly pale, just looking at the back, she can't see that she is pregnant at all.
"Brother Lin is here, come in and sit. ”
After Cuifen said hello, she entered the door with her hand on her stomach, and she didn't even give Xu Wanning the corner of her eye.
"Yes, yes, I haven't invited you in yet. It's the first time my sister-in-law has come, right?
After finishing speaking, Dongzi assisted Lin An and carried the mattress in.
After Xu Wanning entered, she saw Cuifen busy in the semi-open kitchen.
The pregnant woman was already unable to move, and when Xu Wanning saw this, she rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen.
"I'll help you. ”
"Thank you. Cui Fen smiled shyly at Xu Wanning, and concentrated on scooping rice from the rice bowl.
It took a long time to fill a bowl.
Or the smallest bowl.
Xu Wanning couldn't help but take a second look, but saw that the rice jar had bottomed out.
The kitchen was neat and tidy, but there really was nothing extraneous.
Even the seasonings are only the most basic vinegar and salt, and they are only a little bit, which is estimated to be not enough for two meals.
Dongzi and Lin An put the mattress in a room that was not used for the time being, and while washing their hands, they shouted to Cuifen: "Wait a while, steam the white rice, and fry another back pot meat." ”
Cuifen's voice was so soft that she could barely hear it: "However, there is no rice at home, and there is no meat." ”
Xu Wanning couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.
She traveled from the afterlife, and never experienced what it was like to be hungry, and the original family had good conditions since she was a child, and after coming to Dajiang Village, the whole family was even closer to her to eat and drink.
After marrying Lin An, Lin An handed over his salary to her to collect.
Although the original body gave most of the money to the scumbag and, and didn't care about Mother Lin and the two children at all, at least she didn't let herself go hungry.
Therefore, although Xu Wanning has always known that the life of ordinary people in this era is difficult, this is the first time she has put herself in their shoes.
No wonder, even when she is pregnant with a child, Cuifen is so thin that it makes people feel distressed.
Xu Wanning couldn't help but suspect that Cui Fen's voice was so small, in fact, she was hungry and panicked, in order to conserve her strength.
Xu Wanning pressed Cuifen's hand that was about to put the rice into the pot, and said busily: "I really don't need to cook our rice, we just came here after eating, and now I am not hungry, and I can't eat it even after cooking." ”
"That's right!" Xu Wanning patted her head violently and took out the lunch box in her satchel: "This is the dish packed in the state-run restaurant just now, Lin An and I only ate one bite each, and the others have hardly been touched, if you don't mind, I will add a dish to you, after all, it is too troublesome for you today." ”
As soon as the lunch box was opened, the thick smell of meat came to my nose.
Although Tryfen had tried her best to restrain herself from looking, her gaze was not under her control.
Most people in this era are short of oil and water, and they are extremely sensitive to the smell of meat.
Even in the courtyard, Lin An could smell the smell of meat.
He walked over involuntarily, happened to hear Xu Wanning's words, and hurriedly refused: "Sister-in-law, Brother Lin and I have a fateful relationship, isn't it just to put a bed? You are too polite! You quickly take back this meat and bring it to the children to eat." ”
He had quietly been to Dajiang Village a few times before, just to see his mother and two children for Lin An.
Da Chun and his younger sister are skinny, which is simply distressing.
Even if he was hungry for meat, he didn't get to the point of grabbing food from the children.
What's more, Brother Ringo helped him so much.
"Sister-in-law, Dongzi is right, we can't ask for this meat, you better take it back. ”
Tryfen's voice was soft, but it had a tenacity that could not be refused.
Xu Wanning was silent for a moment, and then stuffed the lunch box back into the satchel.
After all, it's something I've eaten, so it's really not appropriate to give it to someone like this.
There was no need to cook, and the four of them sat in the house and chatted.
Dongzi's home is very large, and the hall that receives guests alone is more than 30 square meters, which looks very magnanimous.
However, there is a downside to having a house that is too large.
A small pot of charcoal fire, the range that can warm the group is too small.
After chatting a few words, Xu Wanning took the money she had said before to Dongzi.
"It's twenty dollars, you take it first, and when our new house is built, I'll move the bed." ”
Dongzi hesitated for a few seconds, then took the money, and then gave it to Lin An.
"Brother Lin, these twenty will be paid back to you first, and the remaining eighty, after the child is born, I will find a way to pay you back, can it be done?"
For Lin An at this time, the twenty yuan was tantamount to a hot yam.
He subconsciously glanced at Xu Wanning.
But there was only a faint curiosity in the other party's eyes, and there was no sign of anger.
Cui Fen poked Dongzi's waist quietly, and Dongzi reacted in hindsight that Brother Lin's home seemed to be the sister-in-law in charge.
The 100 yuan was saved by Ringo's frugality.
Now that he was stabbed out so defenselessly, Brother Lin's private money couldn't be kept at all.
"Sister-in-law, don't get me wrong, Brother Lin lent me this money really to save the emergency. ”
"Half a year ago, my parents died suddenly, and those relatives in the family who had not been in contact for 180 years came to fight with me for this house. ”
"Fortunately, I was taken to the hospital in time, and both adults and children were fine. Later, in order to keep the house, a lot of money was spent back and forth, so ...... But sister-in-law, don't worry, when the child is born and Cuifen doesn't need to be taken care of after confinement, I will go out to find a job as soon as possible and return the money as soon as possible. ”
Cuifen was also a little nervous, her hands stirring uneasily.
Xu Wanning sighed in her heart.
The vicious image of the original body is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"This child is a great fate, and he will be blessed with great fortune in the future, and he will definitely bring good luck to both of you. ”
After finishing speaking, Xu Wanning took the money from Lin An's hand and stuffed it into Cui Fen's hand.
"The money is not in a hurry to be repaid, now you still have to take care of Cuifen and the child first, you can keep this money first, and when you are free, you will buy some fine grains and meat, and make up for Cuifen. Her nutrition keeps up, and the child's health can be better. ”
C-section is not yet popular, and with Cuifen's size, it is really annoying to have a baby.
is also a woman, Xu Wanning feels sorry for Cuifen in her heart.
"By the way, what month was the baby born?"
"February!" Dongzi gave two thumbs up: "The doctor said, it will be almost launched after the New Year." ”
February!
Xu Wanning was shocked, and then looked at Dongzi and Cuifen carefully, and couldn't help but flash a bold guess in her mind.
