Chapter 84: A Succession of Happy Events (7)
Lunch is fine, although it is a cake from a white noodle stall, Cai Liu doesn't seem to have much appetite. However, the dish fried with bacon mixed with tender green peas made her eat very refreshingly, and the taste was simply the best food Cai Liu had eaten in more than 20 years.
Seeing that Liu ate sweetly, Chen was even happier. The reason why she was willing to eat bacon and green peas at noon today was entirely because when she was pregnant with Cai Jiazhi, she wanted to eat this dish the most.
For the cakes of the white noodle stall, or the big fish and meat, she is the same as Cai Liu, she has no great interest.
Cai Liu's is like this, but it is exactly the same as her reaction during pregnancy back then.
After lunch, under Chen's instructions, Cai Jiazhi hurriedly went to find Dr. Mao.
Doctor Mao has gotten a pot of dendrobium from Ye Feng, although it is just a branch, but he is also very happy, and every time he meets his peers, he will show off, which makes those peers very envious.
If you want to say that this surnamed Mao doesn't know what shit luck he had, he first learned what kind of first aid method, and his reputation is far and wide. And now, even the fairy grass such as dendrobium can be picked, and it is said that he has learned how to plant it.
But what can be done, I can't stop people's luck. They have also gone up the mountain to collect medicine for many years, but they have never encountered it.
Of course, there are also people who don't even know what Dendrobium looks like. Even if you do, you're doomed to miss out.
Thinking of Dr. Li's deflated appearance, Dr. Mao felt funny.
When Cai Jiazhi rushed to Dr. Mao's house, what he saw was Dr. Mao smirking there like a nymphomaniac.
If you change Ye Feng, you must have swaggered in and walked in, and you will leave after pulling someone. However, Cai Jiazhi did not dare.
This Dr. Mao is the only barefoot doctor in Chenjia Village, and he has become a little arrogant after a long time. If he offends people and leaves Chenjia Village, the villagers will definitely blame him.
Cai Jiazhi cautiously walked into the courtyard, and did not dare to disturb Dr. Mao, just stood there respectfully, waiting for Dr. Mao, who was a nymphomaniac, to wake up from his fantasies.
Fortunately, although Dr. Mao was stupid, he was the most deaf and clear-sighted, and as soon as Cai Jiazhi stopped there, he immediately found out. To be honest, this Cai Jiazhi is tantamount to transparency in his eyes, because there is usually no intersection at all.
seems to know how to collect firewood, and his mother-in-law is also a non-talkative person. As for his mother, forget it, in addition to not petty theft, she is also an unforgiving person, and she has to fight with Aunt Cha.
However, when he saw his flattering smile, his heart softened a little, so he casually asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Ye Feng has told him many times, although he is a little disdainful, but the basic medical ethics must be observed, otherwise Ye Feng's kid will scold him again.
Cai Jiazhi was a little flattered when he saw that Dr. Mao took the initiative to ask him, this person was in his impression that he was synonymous with being difficult to get along with and not getting along with others. Because he hurriedly said: "My lady is a little unwell, so I have come to ask the doctor to come over to diagnose and diagnose, and I am tired." ”
Actually, according to Cai Liu's meaning, he wanted to come with him. But Chen felt that it was better to be careful, so he called Cai Jiazhi to come and invite. In this way, she also knows that the consultation fee will be more, but she is happy today, so let's do more.
Ye Feng didn't know about this, if he knew, he would definitely let their family let Dr. Mao check the pulse first, and then it would not be too late to treat them. This kind of thing is indeed not a trivial matter, if Cai Liu is not pregnant at all, but he invites all the guests, he doesn't know how to end it.
Doctor Mao thought about it, how can the people in the village be like this recently, and ask him to move at every turn, which is really getting more and more squeamish. But for the sake of money, he will not refuse.
This Cai family is just ahead, but it is just a matter of a few steps, and it will be there soon.
After a little preparation, he carried another medicine box that Ye Feng suggested on his back, and then Doctor Mao set off.
When he arrived at Cai's house, Dr. Mao didn't say much, and sat down to take the pulse of Cai Liu's family. This pulse is his turn to be pleasantly surprised, this Cai Liu is clearly pregnant.
First the Ye family, and now the Cai Liu family, recently Chenjia Village is really a happy event. Ye is okay, at least two have been born. It's Cai Liu's, this is the first time, and it's no wonder that Cai Jiazhi will let him go in person.
It seems that the Cai family attaches great importance to it.
Seeing the expectant eyes of Chen and Cai Jiazhi, especially Cai Liu, Dr. Mao had an indescribable feeling for a while. Perhaps, this is what Ye Feng said about pride. Several people in front of him were waiting for his diagnosis, and his words could obviously affect the mood of several people.
After thinking about it, he said softly: "Well, congratulations, auntie, your daughter-in-law is pregnant, and it has been more than two months." ”
Hearing this, Chen Shixi was at a loss, and asked for some maintenance details, so he gave the consultation fee and asked Cai Jiazhi to send Dr. Mao. Although Liu's performance is definitely a symptom of pregnancy, she is still afraid of deception.
Now, with Dr. Mao's diagnosis, it's no problem.
In the days that followed, Chen's care for Cai and Liu reached an unprecedented new height. It has been ten years since I married into this family, and Cai Liu has not enjoyed this kind of treatment, which makes Cai Liu a little weak-hearted.
When she and Cai Jiazhi first got married, Chen was anxious to establish authority, and Cai Liu was also willing to be an obedient and virtuous daughter-in-law, so Chen's goodness could not be reflected. Looking at Cai Liu's low eyebrows, Chen successfully found the "feeling", and he slowly got a little better for Cai Liu.
However, with the passage of time, Cai Liu, who still had a flat stomach, made Chen's face darker and darker, and this black was black for ten years.
And some time ago, Chen's face was completely black to a new height, without him, only because she was scolded when she quarreled with her old sister, she completely lost her patience, so there was the so-called divorce of his wife.
"I just hope that if I can get a man, then I can really get out." Stroking his stomach, Cai Liu thought in his heart.
Cai Liu's pregnancy, in addition to the Cai family, if you want to say that the happiest person in the entire Chenjia Village is the Ye family.
In addition to Da Niu Ma and Zhao, Ye's best friend is Cai Liu. It's not because the two of them are also labeled as unable to give birth, but because the two families are not wealthy, and they often take care of each other on weekdays.
Although the friendship between women is sometimes formed in an instant. But the friendship between Ye and Cai Liu was formed over a long period of time in life.
On this day, while it was still early, after breakfast, Ye told his family that he wanted to go to Cai Liu's house to have a look.
Originally, she thought that Cai Liu had a body, but now it's okay, the two of them can communicate from time to time and take the opportunity to pass the time. As a result, Cai Liu's was not as free as before pregnancy, and he couldn't go out at all.
When I asked, I found out that it turned out that Chen was too concerned about Cai Liu's belly, saying that the fetus had not really sat down, so she was only allowed to rest at home.
After thinking about it, Ye Feng didn't follow.
When two pregnant women are together, it's nothing more than chatting about their experiences, plus gossip in the village. He was really not interested, so he took Qianyan to continue pruning flowers and trees in the backyard.
It's just that I don't know if I don't have talent or I really don't have an interest in gardening, Qianyan is always not good at learning, and it is not as much as Chen Jixing and Ye's learning.
Chen Jixing didn't insist on letting Ye Feng and Qianyan follow, and he also knew that it was a little embarrassing for Ye Feng to follow Ye Feng every time. The left and right are just going to Cai Liu's house, and there is Chen's mother-in-law's house, so it's okay to think about it.
At this time, the sun has not yet come out, the air in the countryside is very good, and the weeds by the roadside are still hanging with dewdrops. When Ye arrived at Cai Liu's house, Liu was resting on a chair.
Looks like I've just finished breakfast.
Seeing Mrs. Chen busy working in the stove, Ye Shi lowered her voice and quipped: "Ouch, look at you crazy, you started to be lazy so early, are you addicted to mother-in-law in advance?" ”
Ye knew that Chen must be tinkering with pig food, chicken food or something in the stove room. When she went out, Chen Jixing was doing this, and she would go to the field when she was done. Anyway, there is less work in the field now, and it is just weeding.
Those who are a little lazy will not go at all, after all, the corn grows tall and big, and that little grass will not affect anything.
As soon as the corn is harvested, the pole will be cut down, and the ground will be ploughed.
Hearing this, Cai Liu's immediately stood up and made a gesture to hit Ye's, and the two of them made a mess together, which shocked Chen's family, firstly, she had never seen such a vivid Cai Liu's, and secondly, the two of them were really a little unreasonable, and they dared to play with a big belly.
was about to scold, but as if he thought of something, he endured it in the end, and only coughed a few times.
Hearing Chen's deliberate movement, the two immediately quieted down. Ye even took the initiative to go into the house to greet Chen, and then went out and sat down. Seeing the two of them sitting quietly, Chen was happy.
With Ye's here, she is not afraid that Cai Liu will be bored.
Chatting and chatting, Ye suddenly thought of pomegranates, those pomegranates should be ripe last time, and he drooled when he thought of them, so he said, "What about those Danruo, are they ripe?" Speaking of which, I want to eat again. Otherwise, let's pick one and eat it. ”
Hearing this, Cai Liu said with some embarrassment: "Originally, it was all for you, but it was really unfortunate, my sister-in-law was pregnant for more than two months, and because it was the first child, even Lang Zhong had no way to eat or vomit." The family was in a hurry, but whenever she wanted to eat, she always wanted to get it for her at a reasonable price, but she just didn't have an appetite. On that day, she also followed my brother to relax, because she saw that this Danruo was cute, and I talked a lot about how sweet and sour, so I tried to pick a cooked peel. As a result, when she ate it, she loved it so much that she didn't vomit after eating, and she even ate a bowl of rice at night, which made her brother happy. Because he solemnly charged me again, he wanted to take the remaining two away. I couldn't refuse, so I gave it. ”
Ye Shi was a little disappointed in her heart, she was also hungry for this pomegranate these days. But since the Liu family has given it away, there is no way to do it. Fortunately, there are still a few pots at home, but they are not yet ripe.
If you want to eat, you'll have to wait a while.
Without pomegranates, it can't stop the enthusiasm of the two pregnant women from chatting. But in the blink of an eye, the two started a new topic. This chat, until it was almost time to eat, Ye slowly went home.
For the Cai family, it is indeed a great joy that Cai Liu's ten years can get pregnant. However, at the moment, the village chief Chen Jifa's family will soon have a happy event. In other words, this is a happy event for the entire Chenjia Village.
Before, on the birthday of the village chief's wife, Ye Feng gave a pot of good luck. After his birthday, Chen Jifa and his wife sent this pot of flowers to Qingshan Academy, praying that they could bless Chen Qianfan from high school in one fell swoop.
Naturally, this kind of behavior cannot be concealed from the people in the village. Everyone saw it, and the couple rushed to the town with the flower pots.
When Chen Qianfan saw it, he immediately fell in love with something, put it in the room, and looked at it several times every day. After the next exam, I carefully moved the flowers home.
Recently, I have been at home for a while, just waiting quietly for the results of the exam.
In the early morning of this day, although it was still early, the villagers always got up early, so when the earth-shattering gongs and drums sounded, no one complained because of the noise, but for a time thousands of people ran out of the door to see what was going on.
After living in Chenjia Village for so long, they have never heard such an unbridled sound of gongs and drums. Judging from this voice alone, there should be something happy.
As a result, everyone is speculating about what happened to be worthy of the drumming in the sky. They still remember that when Chen Qianfan was admitted to the Xiucai exam the year before last, it was just a sparse suona sound, and it was by no means such a deafening drum sound.
The whole village, except for the village chief and the Ye family, the rest of the people were speculating. Because they don't need to guess, they are the "masterminds" of all this.
It turned out that the distant cousin of the village chief was named Yuan Lai, who was on an errand in the yamen of the city. Because of his handsome face, he is merry, and he can speak well, so his popularity is very good, and he can always know some "insiders" one step ahead.
Just yesterday, he saw He Mingyue, the little tea boy next to Bai Zhixian, walking out with a happy face, so he stepped forward to congratulate him, because he said: "Brother He, seeing you so happy, there must be something happy." Why don't you speak up and listen, and let your little brother be happy with you. ”
This Yuan Lai was a few years older than He Mingyue, but he was willing to call himself his younger brother, which made He Mingyue quite useful in his heart.
Because he didn't take Qiao, he said happily: "Where is there any happy event for me, but the list of people in this issue is out!" The magistrate seems to like a person named Chen Qianfan very much, saying that this person is particularly talented and has an unlimited future. Because I said that I would send someone to report the good news the day after tomorrow, I complimented me a few words, and the county magistrate rewarded me with a string of money. It's not easy for me to count in front of adults, ......" After speaking, he took out the string of money and counted it in front of Yuan Lai.
As soon as he heard the name "Chen Qianfan", Yuan Lai was already frozen, but he was afraid that he would be too happy, so in the end he was the same name, and he was happy in vain, because he asked expectantly: "This name is very ordinary, and I don't know where it is from." ”
As long as the locations are on the same page, there is no doubt about it.
He Mingyue counted the money and said without raising her head: "I know this, because the adults want to send someone to report the good news the day after tomorrow, but there is no one from Chenjia Village in our yamen, so I asked me to go out and hire a porter who knows Chenjia Village to lead the way." ”
After saying that, the money was counted, and Yuan Lai was already in ecstasy.
If there is more than one Chen Qianfan in these ten miles and eight towns, then there is only one in the Chen family, and that is his nephew.
Happy, he planned to go and tell his cousin and his wife. They had been waiting for this news for a long time. Now that my wish has been granted, I am estimated to jump up with joy.
When I looked up, He Mingyue was gone.
Originally, he planned to recommend himself to go, but then he thought that if someone knew that his cousin was the father of the old man in the future, it would be a matter of right and wrong at that time.
Originally, before the annunciation, this was a secret.
If someone asks, how do you answer? Maybe it will hurt He Mingyue because of this.
Thinking of this, I was glad again, fortunately I didn't have the impulse.
However, I then thought of another way. Since he couldn't take the initiative to report to Chenjia Village, his cousin could come to the city to catch the market.
Thinking of this, he went to the most prosperous part of the city and waited for the rabbit to get up. You must know that there are villagers in Chenjia Village who come to the market almost every day, either to buy food utensils or to sell food, as long as someone comes.
Many people in Chenjia Village he knew.
Maybe he was really lucky, but after waiting for a while, he saw an acquaintance. Because he begged him to bring the letter back, and asked the village chief to wait for him here at this time tomorrow.
After saying that, he gave the man a small packet of brown sugar.
The man seemed to be happy, but he just brought a message on the way, and the object was still the village chief, so he got a bag of sugar for nothing. immediately accepted it, patted his chest and said that it would definitely be done.
As soon as the man returned to the village that day, he hurried over to bring the letter. When Chen Jifa heard this, he wondered in his heart, but Ye said: "Your cousin told you to go, you can go, I think there is something serious." ”
Ye is a smart one, and he has already guessed in his heart. However, she thought more complicatedly, and thought that the list of the lifting masters was undecided, and they needed to take care of it.
Yuan Lai works in the Yamen, and he knows this kind of thing best.
The next day, yesterday, the village chief arrived as promised.
Hearing the good news that Yuan Lai said in person, Chen Jifa was also dizzy for a long time. After confirming it again and again, this began to sigh.
God has eyes, ancestors bless, his Qianfan is still the first time to end, and the result is successful.
Xiucai said it soundly, but it was not affordable. Now it's good, if you win the promotion, not only will your position as the village chief become more and more stable, but just your son, you can also calm down and sprint for higher honors.
Chen Jifa was happy for a long time, and discussed with Yuan Lai for a long time, thinking that he would have a lively life, so that people could know that his son had been lifted.
After thinking about it and asking some taboos, Chen Jifa rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth, took out a few taels of silver, and asked Yuan Lai to hire a group of people who were blowing and beating, and followed him on the day of the annunciation.
This was a trivial matter, and Yuan Lai agreed after a little thought.
I, the cousin of the village chief, just want to show off. In fact, this is also human nature, how many people stop on the road of showing talents, how many people work the road to lift people, once they win, it will be lively, and no one will be harsh.
What's more, this is still invited at your own expense, which is understandable.
This has the earth-shattering gongs and drums in Chenjia Village early in the morning.
After a while, I heard it clearly, and the villager who had a little insight said: "To this extent, most of the people in our village have been lifted. ”
His understatement provoked the exclamations of the onlookers. Chenjiacun has finally raised people, this is the first one, and it is of great significance.
Another thought that the one who has taken the exam in the past six months is the son of the village chief.
The mood of the crowd became more and more unsure of how to describe it.
"You say, could it be that Qianfan's kid was lifted?"
"I think that apart from him, there will be no more talents in our village."
"It's amazing, I used to say that this kid Qianfan is different. It's good now, it's really a lift. ”
"Yes, in the future, we will also have a master in Chenjia Village."
"Speaking of which, Qianfan still has to call me a third uncle, in the future, I will be the third uncle of the master......"
Sure enough, the team was finally getting closer. The villagers followed all the way to the door of the village chief's house in the spirit of watching the excitement.
For a while, the village chief was full of praise and congratulations, and he was at a loss and burst into tears. If you want to say that he has lost his temper the most in so many years, it is this moment.
However, the Ye family was terrifyingly calm, and there was some pampering and humiliation.
On the second day, the village chief's house was once again full, and the village chief feasted the guests.
Although most of the villagers still send eggs and cabbage, the number has changed from twenty or thirty to fifty or sixty. Slightly wealthier families even bought cloth and good things.
As for those solid families, they secretly raised the gifts by several grades, and even the village chief's wife, Ye, who received the gifts, secretly smacked their tongues. Chen Jifa has been the village chief for so many years, but he has never received such a heavy gift.
Of course, my heart is also dark, who let myself give birth to a good son.
It seems that showing talent and lifting people are just different.
Ye has always been a devout Buddha, and he is very grateful to Ye Feng for the pot of "Full of Fortune", which really brought good luck to the family. Therefore, to the envy and disdain of the villagers, Chen Jixing's family not only sat in the back room at this banquet, but also sat in an "important position".
Feeling the envious or jealous eyes of the villagers, Ye Feng felt that the whole person was not good, and someone was staring at him when he ate. Therefore, Ye Feng sped up his meal, and just wanted to hurry home after eating.
However, to Ye Feng's delight, his efforts were not in vain.
I don't know who started the first to pass it on, its imagination is very rich, saying that Ye Feng gave you what flowers, then you can get the corresponding things.
For example, Ye and Cai Liu have been infertile for many years, Ye Feng sent a pot of plants, and the two of them were actually pregnant, and Ye was pregnant with twins. Not only that, but Ye's wife, Lin, is even more old and old, which makes people have to believe it.
Another example, what is this called a flower full of good luck, as soon as Ye Feng gave it to Chen Qianfan, Chen Qianfan was admitted to the exam, you know, Chen Qianfan was anxious about the exam before, and he asked for leave to return to the village to recuperate for a period of time.
This word spread through Chenjia Village to the nearby villages, and even to the city. Ye Feng didn't bother to refute the rumors, this kind of effect should be regarded as an advertisement.
After thinking about it, Ye Feng felt that maybe someone would come to the door to buy it recently, so one evening, Yang Chen Jixing cut some bamboo and built a simple shed in the wide backyard.
The shed is nothing more than a simple pillar of bamboo, and the top is covered with bamboo mat-like things. Not to mention, with this place to shade the sun, it is cool to sit in it, and when it is windy.
After thinking about it, he and Chen Jixing worked together to move all the stone tables and stone benches into this shed, thinking that if there were guests coming to the door, they could also sit and drink tea.
After knowing Ye Feng's intentions, Chen Jixing didn't believe it in his heart, but he didn't go to the field anymore, but worked overtime to weave more than a dozen bamboo benches.
Ye Feng put all the existing plants at home that he had pruned into pots, and moved them into this shed together with the previous flowers. After a simple arrangement, it looks a bit like a simple flower shed.
Now, everything is in place, and all you owe is to the guests.
