Section IX
Henan Sixi lived in the home of Tun Dakui, Shandong, and the people of Shandong Tun talked about it for a while, saying everything. Those who sympathized with Mai Hua said: It is not easy for Mai Hua to be a woman's family, and it is nothing to find a man to help, but you can't find a Henan nephew.
A man said: Maihua's woman was sassy, she couldn't help it, and found a wild man, phew.
Whether it is sympathetic to Maihua or not sympathetic to Maihua, Maihua does not feel sad because of such a situation. On the contrary, since she had Sixi, she has been down-to-earth and happy. His face has become more moisturized, and he has become more vigorous than before. Her heart was filled with joy that she had never seen before, and she wanted to sing and dance.
When the cuckoo chirps again, the sowing season has arrived. Maihua and Sixi appeared in their fields in time, Sixi was young, and there was inexhaustible strength all over his body, oxen and horses were ploughing in front, and Maihua was planting in the back. Maihua saw the black soil, burying one golden seed after another, and her heart couldn't stop jumping, she really wanted to pounce on the black soil and laugh for a while.
The black soil was sometimes a little helpful, as he staggered behind Wheat Blossom, stomping the seeds with his little feet. Anyone who doesn't know the inside story will envy the scene in front of them to envy the scene of such a happy farmhouse.
Sixi sometimes carried Da Kui to the edge of the field and let him look at the scene of farming, and Da Kui reminded him from time to time; Bury the seeds deeper, the frost is heavy at night, and don't freeze the seeds.
Da Kui saw Sixi's sweaty face, so he said: Rest, I don't care about that moment.
Sixi smiled and said: It's okay, the work is done by people.
After Sixi finished speaking, he buried his head again and walked into the depths of the field. Mai Hua also smiled when she saw Da Kui and said: This year, our family's land must not be wrong.
Da Kui also smiled.
When the sun was setting in the west, the family of four left the fields and went home. Sixi walked in front with Da Kui on his back, and Mai Hua walked behind with Hei Tu's hand. The Shandong Tun people, who finished work and rushed home, pointed their fingers at the family. Mai Hua's expression was still happy and beautiful, and she straightened her waist up again, revealing her newborn belly.
After returning home, Mai Hua was busy cooking, and Sixi was not idle, he squatted on the ground to help Mai Hua light the fire. The firelight reflected Mai Hua's face red, and Sixi stared at Mai Hua's pretty face vigorously. Mai Hua saw Sixi's crazy gaze, her face became more and more red, she walked over and pointed at Sixi's head with her finger and said: Do death. Sixi lowered his head and said while lighting the fire: I just can't see enough of you, I want to watch it during the day and at night.
Mai Hua coquettishly rolled her eyes and looked at Sixi.
Da Kui, who was lying on the kang, felt that the kang was heating up little by little.
Running inside and outside the black earth house.
Sixi said: Beware of the black soil, don't fall.
Black Earth answered, still running busily.
During the meal, a family of four sat around the kang in the east house. In the beginning, Mai Hua always set aside a part of the rice for Sixi to bring to Westinghouse to eat. He and Da Kui Heitu ate around the table. The atmosphere was very dull, Mai Hua was afraid to see Da Kui's gaze, and Da Kui seemed to be avoiding Mai Hua. After Da Kui finished eating a bowl, Mai Hua lowered her head and took Da Kui's empty bowl, and walked outside to serve another bowl for Da Kui. After a meal, the food was dull and dull. Later, Da Kui broke this deadlock first, and Da Kui said: Let Sixi come over.
Mai Hua glanced at Da Kui.
Da Kui said: It's all a family, so it should look like a family.
Da Kui has now thought about it, and at the beginning, emotionally speaking, he couldn't accept Sixi no matter what. But he couldn't bear to watch Mai Hua and Hei Tu suffer with him. When Sixi first entered the house, he really wanted to die. But when he saw Maihua's despair, he once again felt that this family could not do without him.
That night, Mai Hua lay beside him, choked up and said: Da Kui, you are so stupid, if it weren't for you and Heitu, I wouldn't have found another man. Think about it, this family doesn't have you, what's the point of our two lives. Are you willing to leave us alone and leave it alone?
Da Kui was sincerely persuaded by Mai Hua to want to open. As long as Maihua lives well and the black soil is not wronged, it is stronger than anything else. He can't give wheat flowers and black soil, and Sixi can give him satisfaction. After thinking about it like this, he gradually accepted the four joys in his heart.
As the family of four sat around for dinner, the two men talked about farming.
Da Kui said: The ground is planted, and if it rains again, the seedlings should emerge in the ground.
Sixi also said: This year's New Year's scene must not be wrong, and it will be another bumper harvest year.
Mai Hua took over and said: In the autumn, we bought food, and our family made a new dress.
Da Kui said: You can do it, if I don't go out, forget it, this dress is enough for me to wear for a lifetime.
Sixi said: What is going on, just listen to Maihua. In autumn, our house is also fresh.
Da Kui didn't say anything.
As soon as a few rains fell, the crops in the fields grew wildly, and summer came again.
Maihua's body is becoming more and more visible, and she is struggling to walk.
At night, she lay down next to Sixi, and Sixi reached out to touch Maihua's belly.
Mai Hua said happily: Sixi, I want a son or a daughter.
Sixi said: I want a son.
Mai Hua put her head into Sixi's arms, her face was hot, and she grabbed Sixi's hand on her stomach and rubbed it. In the middle of the night, Maihua said: I will give birth to you, and I will give birth to a room.
When Mai Hua said this, she suddenly remembered that she had said something like this to Da Kui, but now Da Kui has become a waste. Thinking of this, she burst into tears. Sixi was puzzled, and hurriedly hugged Mai Hua's shoulder and asked: Mai Hua, what's wrong.
Maihua shook her head and turned away. After a while, she said faintly: Sixi, you will be good to Da Kui and Heitu in the future.
Sixi heard Mai Hua say this, so he hugged Mai Hua's body behind him and said: Didn't I say it, we are all a family, what are you talking about? In the future, if I eat dry, I will not let Da Kui and Heitu drink thin.
Maihua nodded in satisfaction.
When Mai Hua was lying next to Da Kui in the East House, Da Kui looked at Mai Hua's stomach and said: You are stupid, so you should do less work in the future, don't move the fetus.
Mai Hua said with tears in her eyes: I am not so delicate.
Da Kui also said: What do you want to eat, let Sixi go to the city to buy it for you, don't lose your body.
Mai Hua buried her head in the crook of Da Kui's arm again, and Mai Hua felt that she was the happiest person in the world, and there were two men who loved her so much.
Mai Hua said: I have a child with Sixi, you don't blame me.
Da Kui was stunned, and then said: How come, the black soil is his (her) brother. I like that there are a large group of younger brothers and sisters in the black soil, and there will be someone to help me in the future, fighting my own brothers, and going into battle as father and son soldiers.
Mai Hua said: Da Kui, you are really a good person.
Da Kui said: Sixi is not bad.
The summer nights are hot, and the sweat is sticky on the body. Sixi carried Da Kui to the river to bathe every night. Every time, Sixi first helped Da Kui rub his back, wash his hair, and then wash it himself. That day, Sixi was rubbing Da Kui's back, Da Kui closed his eyes, listened to the sound of water flowing into the river from Sixi's fingers and said: Sixi, our family will add people to the mouth in the autumn, and you will be tired in the future.
Sixi said: I'm not afraid.
Da Kui said again: Maihua is not easy, you must be worthy of her in the future.
Sixi said very excitedly: A man can't live with a woman, what kind of man is it, Da Kui, don't worry, I won't treat our family badly.
The two men said this, and their hearts were hot.
