Chapter 177: Fan Min's Conspiracy
"What do you think, is your aunt like that?" Xie Xiaonian flicked the orchid's head and said.
"Then why don't you go up the mountain?" Orchid touched her head and asked suspiciously.
"My stomach has been more than 5 months, it's inconvenient to go up the mountain every day, I was worried about you before, so I have been with you, and now there are big girls here, I can rest assured. I may not go up the mountain until the child is full moon, but I will tell you when to dig up what herbs, and when the time comes, you can pick them back, and I will teach you how to prepare them to dry. ”
In fact, even if she doesn't meet them today, Xie Xiaonian has decided not to go up the mountain again after a while, after all, her belly is also big, and the fetus is very energetic, and the fetus moves very frequently every day, Xie Xiaonian wants to give the child prenatal education at home and interact with the child.
And she is also ready to make more clothes, diapers or something for the child when she is free, although the sister-in-law said that she can give her the old clothes and diapers at home, but Xie Xiaonian still wants to use new cotton cloth, the newborn has weak resistance, and I don't know how many bacteria there are on the old clothes.
This time, even if Mother Xu felt that she was a loser, Xie Xiaonian also admitted it, she just wanted to give the child the best possible.
And in the following time, when Xie Xiaonian was taking care of the fetus, Orchid also became good friends with the eldest girl.
Because there are more and more wild vegetables and mushrooms on the mountain now, and the orchids teach the big girl to pick different medicinal materials to sell from time to time, the life of the big girl is better.
And the biggest harvest is Wei Guo, since he started raising those two little rabbits, as long as Wei Guo catches a live hare, he will feed it.
When the cage for rabbits was a little crowded at the beginning, he asked his father to build a rabbit pen in the backyard, and now there are 6 rabbits in it, and 2 female rabbits are about to give birth to rabbits.
Because they are raised in the backyard, they can't be seen even if others come to the house, and the children have been told not to speak out, so so far, they have not been discovered.
In fact, even if it is discovered, there is nothing, after all, although there are almost no rabbits in the village, the brigade does not have a rule that says that rabbits cannot be raised, and there are people in neighboring villages who raise rabbits.
They are so cautious, mainly for fear that they will be found that they often hit their prey, after all, it is better not to suffer from inequality, and it is better not to provoke people's red eyes.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, because there was nothing to do at home, so Xie Xiaonian went to his sister-in-law's house with five kinds of silk threads of "green, red, white, black, and yellow", and made longevity threads with his sister-in-law.
Although the longevity thread is generally worn by children, the child in her belly has not yet come out, so Xie Xiaonian is ready to bring it to herself after making it.
Early in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, Xie Xiaonian got up, tied longevity threads around his wrists, ankles and necks, and inserted the wormwood that the orchid helped cut yesterday at the gate, and then went to the kitchen to make zongzi.
Glutinous rice and the like are all soaked in the space in advance, so she can start packing directly.
Because Xie Xiaonian and her sister-in-law's family like to eat sweet zongzi, she wrapped red dates and bean paste.
And what salty rice dumplings such as egg yolk dumplings and meat dumplings that were very popular in the previous life, people on their side don't eat them.
Because glutinous rice is more expensive, most people only pack a few meanings, and poor people don't know how to pack one.
And the children also like to eat this kind of sweets, Xie Xiaonian thought that the sister-in-law should not pack too much, so she wrapped nearly 50 at once, so that the orchids could eat a few more for each of them.
Because he had to eat at his sister-in-law's house at noon, Xie Xiaonian went directly to his sister-in-law's house after cooking the zongzi.
"Orchid, Weiguo, I have boiled zongzi in my pot, you go and fish them out, and then bring them all over in a basin! Be careful not to burn. After Xie Xiaonian arrived at his sister-in-law's house, he said directly to the orchid and Wei Guo in the yard.
"Well, okay, let's go!" As soon as Wei Guo heard that there was something to eat, he agreed to it and called it a refreshing one.
"Xiao Nian, there are also zongzi at home, so you can keep the ones and eat them yourself!" Li Suxin saw Xie Xiaonian coming over with a 6-month-old belly, and was busy talking while moving a stool for Xie Xiaonian.
"I have a lot of packs, and glutinous rice is not easy to digest, and I can't eat too much, so everyone is eating together today, so I will wrap them all."
"Xiao Nian, why do you pack so much?" Mother Xu looked at the pot full of zongzi that Orchid and Wei Guo carried back, and said in surprise.
"Since you have eaten it, you have to eat enough, and the orchid doesn't have a good relationship with the eldest girl, the eldest girl's family has just split up this year, and it is more difficult, and I am definitely reluctant to make zongzi, so I will wrap more, thinking about letting the orchid send them some for a while." Xie Xiaonian explained.
"Orchid has you as a master, it's really a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, this is all taken into account for her, I, a mother, didn't expect her little sister!" Li Suxin said with a sigh.
"You're very nice to me." Xie Xiaonian replied with a smile.
Since she became pregnant, her eldest brother helped pick the water at home, and she hardly bothered about the vegetables and crops in the yard and in her own field.
And the poultry she raised, she didn't feed it much, saying that she raised it, in fact, it should be said that Orchid and Wei Guo helped her raise it, and the two pigs at home, she didn't beat the pigweed once.
Even if Xu Zhongjun is at home, he can do this at most, so Xie Xiaonian has always been very grateful to his sister-in-law's family.
"Auntie, then I'll take a few zongzi and send them to the eldest girl?" Orchid listened to the big girl's share, and asked happily.
"There are 6 people in her family, so you can send two of them to each person, and her family will not accept any more. The red rope is filled with red dates, and the white rope is filled with bean paste. Xie Xiaonian explained to Orchid.
"Auntie, I want to eat bean paste filling!" Peach Blossom heard that there was a bean paste filling, and said drooling on the side.
"Eat after eating, at noon at home to eat meat, not only pheasants but also hares, if you eat zongzi, you can't eat meat." Without waiting for Xie Xiaonian to answer, Li Suxin said directly.
In fact, Li Suxin was thinking that zongzi were not easy to digest, and if he ate them after eating, he could eat less peach blossoms.
"That's right, you can only eat zongzi after eating, you see we haven't eaten either." Xie Xiaonian also coaxed quietly.
"Alright then!" Although Peach Blossom reluctantly agreed, her eyes did keep looking at the zongzi.
Not long after the orchid went out, the second brother Xu Zhonggui's family also came with a few zongzi.
"Yo, Xiao Nian is also here, it's really early enough, I don't know what delicious food to bring to the big house, it's not easy for the loyal army to be in the army, Xiao Nian, you have to spend money leisurely."
After the unpleasantness of the last time, Xie Xiaonian and Dafang never sent anything to the second room, so the second sister-in-law treated them even more with a nose and an eye.
Fan Min believes that Dafang can have so many good things, can hunt prey, and can make money by selling medicine, all because of Xie Xiaonian's help.
is also a concubine, Xie Xiaonian only helps the big house, but does not help them in the second room, how can she not resent Xie Xiaonian.
But Fan Min didn't see how much the big room helped Xie Xiaonian, but their second room never stretched out his hand, even if it was a small matter like helping to chop firewood.
"I don't spend money, I don't send things to my father and mother, I don't have to worry about the second sister-in-law, and the second sister-in-law doesn't live by the sea, why is it so wide!" Xie Xiaonian replied unceremoniously.
"Okay, second child, you can take care of yourself. What are you doing here, don't you help your sister-in-law cook! Mother Xu saw that several children were in the yard, and she didn't say anything too ugly, saving some face for Fan Min.
Fan Min saw that Xu's mother was angry, so she didn't dare to say anything sour, and followed her sister-in-law to cook
"Mother, auntie, you see, the eldest girl made a kite for them and gave me one." After a while, Orchid took a kite and ran back happily.
"Sister, I want to see it, show it to me!"
"Big sister, I want to play."
Because no one in the family knew how to make kites, and they were reluctant to spend money to buy them, several children were very excited.
"The big girl is quite clever, such a delicate kite can be made!" Mother Xu looked at the kites in the hands of several children and praised.
"That's it, it just so happens that the wheat field in the team has been completed, there is a big place and there is wind, when you finish eating, you can go there and put it on." Xie Xiaonian suggested.
"Auntie, you go with us, we won't let it go!" The Wei family has never flown a kite at such a big age, although they know that it is flying into the sky, but they don't know how to get it at all.
"What are you talking about, you see that your aunt's belly is so big, how can I run and play with you, what should I do if I touch my little brother, let your father follow you in the afternoon, he will let it go." The sister-in-law was also attracted from the kitchen and said with a smile.
"Yes, my aunt can't run now." In fact, Xie Xiaonian really wanted to fly a kite, but his stomach was not strong!
Just as a group of people were talking and laughing in the courtyard, Fan Min took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, scooped the things cooked in the cauldron into the jar on the stove in front of the stove, scooped a big spoonful, and then pretended to start a fire as if it were nothing.
What Fan Min didn't know was that her movements happened to be seen by a pair of eyes in the yard.
After the meal was ready and the family was served, Li Suxin brought a bowl of chicken soup to Xie Xiaonian as usual.
Because there is not much boiling, and there are stewed hares and pheasants on the table, this chicken soup is exclusive to Xie Xiaonian alone.
Fan Min saw that Li Suxin brought the chicken soup to Xie Xiaonian, and a flash of happiness flashed in his eyes.
"Auntie, I want to drink chicken soup, you can give me chicken soup!"
Seeing that Xie Xiaonian was about to start drinking chicken soup, Wei Min suddenly spoke.
