Sister Qiu pulled Raja's palm, and she naturally guessed what Jia was uncomfortable again, "Mother, I think my aunt is actually quite similar to my grandmother, all of them have a strong mouth." She's been here twice, and she's talking about it very well, but she doesn't seem to have taken out the actual thing, right? On the day of the move, a lot of villagers gave us gifts, no matter how much, the courtesy was light and affectionate, she was empty-handed, desperately saying that we should not move, I think if it wasn't for Aunt Jin Ning'er to stop her, she would like to teach you a few words. Let's talk about it again, what is the relationship between the two of us and her, my grandfather has my grandfather, my uncle, and two cousins, you say, she is the aunt and grandmother of the Mei family, and her heart is biased towards us or my grandfather's side? ”

There is no doubt that Aunt Mei's heart is ironclad because of the male laborers on Mei Laosuo's side, the Jia family is an orphan and a widow, Sister Qiu will leave the Mei family sooner or later, and the Jia family has no blood relationship with the Mei family, and did not give birth to a child to the Mei family, so Mao bullied the Jia family like that, except for the Jia family's soft temperament and easy oppression, is it inconvenient because the Jia family did not give birth to a child, do you want Mei Liang to give up? In the same way, what else can my aunt do except sympathize with this nephew and daughter-in-law? It's good not to scold in the field.

There is also Aunt Jin Ning, who can speak in a harmonious manner, although she is eager, but Sister Qiu always feels that the child in her heart is not like Aunt Chunhua and Li Ailian's kind eyes, who can't say good things on her mouth, Sister Qiu is afraid of the kind of people who talk good in front of you and ugly behind your back.

In fact, Sister Qiu didn't realize that Aunt Mei was a bad person, at least she didn't do anything to make people embarrassed. It's just that Aunt Mei can't be biased towards them, if they clash with the Mei family again in the future, with Aunt Mei's temperament, the duel will stand on their opposite side. As soon as Sister Qiu said this, Jia's heart figured it out, and sighed: "It's the same, let's send sweet sauce and water tofu like this, it's too ...... Forget it, let's look back at what their attitude is. ”

This day happened to be Lin Zhun Muxiu, who went home early and missed the big seal of eating bean curd in the store. Dayin told Sister Qiu that the family was going to harvest flowers and give birth, and asked Sister Qiu to go to his house when she went back and taste the freshly planed flowers.

In the afternoon, when Sister Qiu followed Li Ailian and Aunt Chunhua to Xiaohe Town, she happened to meet Lin Cheng pulling a cart to his home, the car was full of freshly plucked flowers, and the wheels of the car were deeply sunk into the soil, and it was very difficult to pull.

Chunhua and Li Ailian hurriedly went over to help the cart, Li Ailian looked at the plucked flowers and seedlings, and said to Chunhua with a smile: "Your family's flowers are not bad. ”

There are a lot of full flowers on the roots of each flower, and the tender yellow flower skin sticks to the wet soil, which is very pleasing to look at.

Chunhua nodded happily, these Xu flowers are sold, and it is a lot of income, "There is enough rain this year, unlike last year's drought and no rain, the flowers do not grow, and the vegetables do not grow." ”

A lot of people on the gang all saw that the Jiang family's flowers had a bumper harvest, and they all brushed and greeted Lin Cheng, asking him to leave the flowers and seedlings after the flowers were born

They feed the rabbits.

Lin did readily agree, asking them to come home before dinner to pull the seedlings.

Lin Laosu took Lin Zhun and Dayin to dig the flowers in the harvested flowers, and when the flowers were plucked, there would always be flowers left in the field and could not be pulled out, so it was necessary to use a small nail rake to plow the ground, and pick up the planed flowers one by one, which was a very hard work.

"Why are you here?" Lin Zhun, who bent over the shavings, saw Sister Qiu, stood up straight with a smile, and put the reed hat on the top of her hair on Sister Qiu's head.

Lin Laosuo smiled and grabbed a large handful of freshly shaved flowers from the basket containing the flowers, and stuffed them to Sister Qiu, "Taste it!" ”

Sister Qiu hurriedly caught it, put it in her pocket, picked a big flower and peeled it off, the newly unearthed flowers were crisp and watery, although they were not as fragrant as the fried flowers, but they could taste a sweet taste in the mouth, not a flavor.

"The flowers we have here are better than others." Lin Laosuo smiled and chattered to the children while plowing the ground, "I heard that to the east, the place leaning against the sea is a sandy field, and the flowers grown in that place are well-grown, and they are big and produce a lot of oil!" ”

Lin Zhun wiped the sweat on his face and said with a smile: "This is also good, you can grow cauliflower, sesame seeds, and soybeans, all of which are things that can produce oil." ”

"I know, I know!" The big seal responsible for picking flowers and giving birth was called.

Sister Qiu smiled and helped Da Yin pick it up, and asked, "What do you know?" ”

Dayin smiled meaningfully, peeled off a flower and stuffed it into Lin Laosuo's mouth, and said with a smile: "This is called one side of the water and soil to raise one party!" Big brother taught me! ”

The usual method is to catch the seedlings with one hand and beat them in the bucket, and the flowers fall into the bucket, which is much more efficient than pulling them down one by one, and naturally it is more physically exhausting.

When Sister Qiu followed Lin Zhun and them back to Jiang's house, she was watching Lin Qu playing flowers in the courtyard, Lin Qu was wearing a thin gown, and her sleeves were all rolled up to her shoulders, squatting in the courtyard and struggling to fall flowers in the bucket, the muscles on her arms were all bulging due to the exertion, and the sweat was dripping all over her face.

Lin Zhun and Lin Laosu also hurried over to help beat the flowers and give birth, Dayin and Sister Qiu did not have the physical strength to fall, so they could only take the seedlings one by one and pull the flowers down one by one.

It's really hard work! Sister Qiu couldn't help but sigh, the life of rural people is the hardest, there is no free time all year round, self-ploughing, sowing, weeding, loosening the soil, fertilizing, to harvesting, every link is hard work, every grain of food is to be cherished.

In the afternoon, Aunt Chunhua came back after making water tofu, Lin really didn't care about resting, and hurriedly chose the burden to get the water tofu.

"Let's send these two baskets to Sister Qiu tomorrow morning, and we'll peel a few catties of raw rice and send them over later, they are busy, maybe they don't have time to peel them." Aunt Chunhua said with a smile.

Lin Laosu smiled and nodded, "Yes, it should be sent, and when the flowers are squeezed with oil, they will be given a barrel of oil." ”

A few people were talking and laughing, and they listened to the exclamation of Mei Yindi and Mao's scolding from the Mei family next door.

"What's the matter, there's no peace all day long!" Aunt Chunhua preached unhappily.

In less than a moment, Dayin saw Mei Yindi running over by the door, and after a while, he saw Mei Yindi pulling Mama Li over.

"Mother, Sister Yindi has gone to invite Mama Li, is it Aunt Mei who is about to give birth?" Dayin hurriedly asked.

Mama Li is a midwife, and the mothers in Xiaohe Town and the surrounding villages want to give birth to babies, and they basically all look for her.

Aunt Chunhua'er stopped peeling the flowers, stood up and went into the house and pulled out the bottle boy under the kang, felt out the red eggs that had been saved, counted 20 out, put them in the bamboo basket with wheat straw, and took a bag of cane sugar, and came out to Lin Laosuo and said: "It is estimated that her second aunt is going to give birth, I will take a look." ”

"Eh, mother, go and kiss you." Lin Zhun smiled and said, "We'll finish all this work in a moment." ”

Chunhua went over and went straight into the courtyard of Mei's house, and saw Mei Yindi squatting by the door of the West Wing, except for the sound of Mei's second aunt Hengheng chirping in the middle of the house, as well as Mama Li's speech, "Yindi, her mother, you still have a lot of time to give birth." ”

"Auntie, you're here." When Mei Yindi saw Chunhua, she immediately stood up happily and stretched out her palm to catch the bamboo basket in Chunhua's hand.

Mao immediately came out of the hall when he heard the sound, glanced at Mei Yindi, and said: "Yindi, hurry up and go to the small kitchen to boil water for your mother, don't grind!" ”

Mei Yindi secretly rolled her eyes to Mao's in a place where Aunt Chunhua couldn't see, and reluctantly went into the small kitchen to boil water, and Mao hurriedly walked over, took the bamboo basket in Chunhua's hand, and knew at a glance that it was filled with cane sugar and red eggs, and there were a lot of them.

Things like giving birth to children, if there is no relative, the dealer is like sending a few red eggs to congratulate, close to the five ten, the relationship may not be sent, like Aunt Chunhua sent 20 red eggs and a bag of sucrose in one breath, very rare, Mao's satisfaction is not only a little angry, always feel that Chunhua is so generous because of the money earned in Jia's shop, do not put the small money in your eyes, think about Jia's money should all be hers, Mao's heart is simmering.

"Hurry up and make a red egg tea for Yindi's mother." Aunt Chunhua smiled and said, "It's inconvenient to have a child!" ”

Mao was grateful, but he didn't move, went into the house and picked up the red eggs into the bottle boy, and came out to return the bamboo basket to Chunhua.

Chunhua and Mao's polite words a few words, then entered the west room, look at Aunt Mei took off her pants and lay on the kang, the amniotic fluid does not seem to be broken, Mama Li sat leisurely on the side to eat tea, saw Chunhua come in, smiled and said, "Yo, are you here?" ”

"Eh, how about taking a look at Yindi's mother?" Aunt Chunhua asked.

Mama Li pointed at Aunt Mei and said with a smile:

"The amniotic fluid hasn't broken yet, and I guess I'll have to wait at least an hour."

"An hour that your old man said will wait for an hour!" Chunhua smiled and said, "Yindi's mother, you can give birth to a child with peace of mind, I will go home and cook first, and then come to see you when you give birth." "Aunt Mei's second aunt is all people who have given birth to children, and when the fourth child is born, she must not have to give birth to the midwife herself.

The doors and windows in the house are tightly closed and impermeable, and the smell of summer is very unpleasant, Aunt Chunhua wants to go out as soon as she enters the house, and she wants to leave after a few polite words with Mama Li and Aunt Mei.
