Lying on the kang and chirping, Aunt Mei hurriedly grabbed Aunt Chunhua, she looked at it all, Chunhua was carrying an empty bamboo basket on her arm, Chunhua was a person who knew etiquette, it was impossible to carry an empty bamboo basket into the door at this time, and the things in the bamboo basket must have been collected by Mao.

Aunt Mei's heart is itchy with hatred, Mao's everything is in her hands, and she is reluctant to give her one of the red eggs sent by others when she gives birth to a child, and she has never seen such a sour one!

"What's the matter, what is this?" Aunt Chunhua asked.

Second Aunt Mei's tears fell from her mouth, and she sighed in pain: "Sister-in-law, I have a bitter heart!" Sister Qiu and her mother-in-law all married into their Lao Mei family after creating sins in their previous lives! Sister Qiu and her mother are boiling out, so I can only wait for the angry child to die! ”

Aunt Chunhua and Mama Li were all embarrassed for a while, and Aunt Chunhua comforted her and said: "Don't think nonsense about this time, it's important to give birth to the child seriously." ”

Aunt Mei preached about her sorrows, and her tears couldn't stop falling, pulling Aunt Chunhua to count Mao's babbling, and not eating enough to force her to work with a big belly, and all kinds of Mao family became a unique evil mother-in-law in heaven and earth.

"I have no hope in this life, so I hope that Yindi can find a good husband." Second Aunt Mei cried at Chunhua and looked at Chunhua burningly, "Don't ask your husband's family to be rich, just be a mother-in-law and you are generally a good talker!" ”

Aunt Chunhua'er's smile froze on her face, she withdrew her hand from Aunt Mei'er's hand, and said with a smile: "I persuaded you all in vain just now, and you are still thinking nonsense!" I'll go home and cook first, and I'll come back to see when the baby is born. After speaking, I hurriedly opened the curtain and went out, and saw that the grass pigsty was full of grass pig dung, I don't know how long it had not been cleaned up, and the smell was stinking, so I couldn't help but shake my head and go home.

When night fell, the Jiang family sat in the courtyard to eat, and listened to the loud baby crying next door.

"It's born!" Aunt Chunhua smiled and said, "I don't know if it's a boy or a lady." Lin did eat the soup and said with a smile: "It's too late, when I go to see it tomorrow, I will know if it is a lady or a boy." ”

Aunt Chunhua was busy in the small kitchen all morning, and after steaming the final basket of steamed buns, she came out to breathe, and saw that Jia Shi and Li Ailian were also sitting in the store, so they sat next to them to rest.

"Eh, it's getting old, twisting all morning, my feet hurt and my waist hurts." Li Ailian said with a smile.

Jia Shi nodded, "Let's hire two more helpers, everyone is in a hurry to eat and catch up at this time, it's really too busy." ”

Aunt Chunhua said with a smile: "Yesterday when I was having dinner, Sister Qiu and her second aunt gave birth, but I don't know whether they gave birth to a man or a girl. ”

"Is she a male baby in her belly every day, if she gives birth to a female baby, look where she will put her face!" Li Ailian sneered and said that when Aunt Mei's second aunt broke up, she decided that she was pregnant with a kid in her belly, and she must have an extra share of the child's property, and this thing has been done

Laughed for the town of Little River.

Fleur, who was picking up the wooden table, came over and sighed and said, "It's a girl, it's gone." Last night, Dawei came back a little late from selling water tofu, and when he came back, Mama Li also happened to come back and told me. ”

Mama Li and Furong's family have been neighbors for decades, and they have a good relationship.

Several people were shocked for a moment, and Jia Shi asked anxiously: "Why not?" ”

"That's it." Aunt Chunhua asked in surprise, "Mei Lao Er and his daughter-in-law are in very good health, and they have all given birth to a child!" ”

There was no one in the store at this time, Furong looked around, and then whispered: "Mrs. Mei told outsiders that children will not cry when they are born, and it will not take long for them to swallow their breath, in fact, it is not like this at all, I heard Mama Li speak, the child cries loudly, Sister Qiu, her grandmother saw that it was a girl, so she gave Mama Li ten copper plates, and pressed the newborn girl into the blood basin...... Smack, is the heart ruthless enough, if we can't get this hand, no matter how rare the boy is, it is also a human life, don't say don't want it. ”

Sister Qiu listened attentively on the windowsill, and listened coldly to someone next to her trembling words, "How can there be such a thing...... Isn't this murder? ”

Sister Qiu was startled, turned her face back and saw Zhang Yuxiu standing next to her, her face turned white with fright, and she heard all the words that the Jia family had said.

"Be quiet!" Sister Qiu grabbed Yuxiu's cold palm and spoke. She had heard about this kind of thing, in the 80s, in the countryside, when family planning was strictly regulated, an unknown cardamom girl baby died in the hands of her loved ones.

Zhang Yuxiu sighed and said softly: "There is a family in our village that gave birth to seven daughters, and I have never heard of a child drowning...... They all say that there are seven fairy girls in their family, and people are also unconscious that there is nothing wrong, the girl can also do work, and if she marries, she can also help her mother's family, but she can't, and you can also recruit a gentleman's son-in-law, and your grandmother's family doesn't have grandchildren......"

Outside the store was a street full of people, and the sound was noisy, and the Jia family didn't notice the sound made by Zhang Yuxiu.

Jia Shi thought about Aunt Mei's big belly, and her heart was full of concern, she was a kind and sensitive person, and she spoiled the child, watching Aunt Mei's belly grow up day by day, it was like watching the child grow up day by day, and now the melon is ripe and coming to this world, but there is no opportunity to start her life, which is heartbreaking and embarrassing.

"At that time, when Sister Qiu was born, her grandmother said loudly that the girl was a money-loser, and she raised it for ......nothing," Jia's eyes were red, and he shook his head and couldn't continue, "I was lying on the kang and crying, and her grandmother said desperately, in the end, Sister Qiu and her father spoke, and it was a matter." How can it be the first child, whether it is a child or not, he can't give it up! ”

Li Ailian sighed, "Evil! is not poor, and she can't even eat, in order to provide her three sons with education, all the things that hurt the sky and reason are done, and if you don't count it, you will also pit Mei Er, this time God can't stand on her side

。 "The implication is that the Mao family has done so many things that lack morality, and if Meiqu is admitted to the subject name, it will be blind.

Sister Qiu stood quietly against the wall, she was originally relieved by Zhang Yuxiu, but she didn't expect Zhang Yuxiu to hear Jia's words, and in turn hugged Sister Qiu to comfort her.

"I'm fine." Sister Qiu smiled at Zhang Yuxiu, she has grown so big, and she is still so "disobedient", presumably the Mao family should grit her silver teeth all day long and regret not drowning her in the first place. She just thought about Aunt Mei's child who was a little uncomfortable, a young child's life was lost like this, no matter how much Aunt Mei hated her, the child was innocent after all. She also agrees with her aunt's words, if all people like Mei Qu can be admitted to the middle school and become officials, it is really unreasonable, and the Mao family will be retributed sooner or later.

"What about the kids? Where's the loss? Aunt Chunhua asked.

Fleur shook her head, "Who knows?" I heard Mama Li say that when she was leaving, she looked at Mei Lao Er and found a dustpin to cover the blood basin, and brought it out, and I don't know where it was buried. ”

The dustpan is a commonly used thing for crop households, which is a round piece made of a seam made of a fine millet rod after drying, which can be used as a pot lid or a grate, holding dumplings, buns, and dry food, which is very convenient to use.

Zhang Yuxiu dragged Sister Qiu to sit in the room, and sighed: "Your milk is really scary, I still think she scolds people a lot." ”

In fact, Sister Qiu still can't figure out why so many women are so patriarchal, rejecting female babies, and looking down on female babies. Like Mao's and Mei's second aunt, they are proud of giving birth to a child, and look down on Jia's who only gave birth to a girl, and they scold Sister Qiu and Mei Yindi at every turn for losing money, according to their logic, they are also losing money.

"We ought to go to my father's grandmother's grave and prostrate and burn paper." Sister Qiu muttered.

Zhang Yuxiu paused, but didn't react, "What are you talking about?" Where is this? ”

"Thank you for her old man's grace of not killing!" Sister Qiu stretched out her voice and said lazily, "If my grandmother was born back then, my grandmother's milk heart was a little more ruthless, and my grandmother would not have lived today?" Then there would be no my father, my uncle, and even more so our grandchildren. Do you say that you should kowtow and burn paper to express your gratitude? ”

Zhang Yuxiu covered her mouth and laughed, gently twisted Sister Qiu's cheeks, and said with a smile: "You will be poor!" Tell your grandmother to listen, it is estimated that it is not far from death! ”

The fact that the Mei family has no child has not caused much of a sensation in Xiaohe Town, most people don't know what the inside story is, or they are lazy to care, in the end, the death rate of children in this era is too high, it is better to be born without it than to be raised and gone, and the second aunt Mei is in good health and can be reborn.

In the past few days, the sun is just right, and the new flowers harvested have also been dried, and Aunt Chunhua has picked up two baskets of flowers, one basket is shelled, and the other is shelled flowers and raw rice.

Sister Qiu

I chose a slightly smaller flower raw rice soaked in water, and grinded it with a grinding disc to become flower raw milk. The flowers are more fine than the bean grains, there is almost not much slag, you don't need to filter, you can eat it when cooked, and it is much more delicious than the bean juice.

Dayin is still the first time to eat flowers and raw milk, after the entrance immediately fell in love with this kind of rich and mellow taste, day after running to pester Sister Qiu to grind * flowers to eat milk, even after eating for several days, Dayin from the kang to find the original pants to wear, found that tight, did not look too heavy, as a result of going out to squat on the ground to lift shoes, the cup of the pants to burst.

Sister Qiu laughed at him for several days after she knew, Hua'ersheng is full of protein and fat, Dayin eats Hua'er's raw milk as water, and adds sugar to Hua'er's raw milk, can you not be fat!
