The potatoes in Gushantun did not sell at a higher price, and they were two cents cheaper than in previous years.

Xu Wenlan came up with a good idea, but in the end, it was not executed.

It's the decision to draw lots, but human nature is selfish, those who are at the back of the queue are afraid that they won't be able to sell at a good price, so they swarm to find acquaintances to discuss and collect potatoes, like the old man Bai is still good, the Zhang family is a relative, and the price is not too low, and others are pressed to a very low price.

After selling potatoes, there is basically no farm work to be done in the field, and there is no deduction of the greenhouse in ancient times.

At this time, it had already snowed twice, and it had already gone below zero, and even the water tank in the stove room was frozen with a thin layer of ice slag at night, let alone outside.

There is no work to be done in the field, but other work still needs to be done, most of the men are threshing hay, chopping wood, preparing firewood for winter heating, and some particular people also press down the roof and add more hay to make the house warmer.

As for women, in addition to raising chickens and feeding pigs as usual, they also have to pickle pickles and sauerkraut, and some things to be used for the New Year have to be prepared.

New Year's goods should be bought one after another, bud rice noodles should be grinded, beans should be boiled, and when the time comes, sticky bean buns will have to be steamed.

You have to be busy for a while, you can really be considered a cat winter, in addition to the usual housework at home, you will also knock melon seeds and drink coarse tea, the east family will run the door, and the west family will chatter, and it is also the easiest time to gossip news, and the idle family is also idle and the east and west family are short and talking.

As soon as the winter moon entered, news came from the county town, saying that the Great Zhu family was about to give birth.

As soon as he heard the news, Zhu's legs went limp.

In May, Da Zhu said that he was pregnant, counting the days, and it was only seven months at this time, which was a premature birth among premature births.

Before the person who delivered the news left, Zhu began to pack up his things, and his tears did not stop.

Her sister has never been smooth in childbirth, the first few were miscarriages, but this time she finally stood still, and it was actually a miscarriage again.

Xu Wenlan was also anxious: "Mother, you don't have to bring so many things, it's serious for us to go first, and the godmother has to see her own family to feel at ease!" ”

Zhu, who was already panicking, threw things away, wiped his tears and nodded.

Bai Hui'er said again: "Mother, do you have to tell my grandma and my grandfather about this?" Although the person who just delivered the letter said that my aunt was afraid that the old man would worry, so she only told you, but it is such a big deal, is it okay not to tell you? ”

Zhu Shi blew his nose, wiped away his tears, and finally regained his composure: "Erbao, you go to Lao Lintun, don't tell your grandmother and them first, go directly to your aunt, tell your aunt about this, she knows what to do." ”

"You, your aunt...... It's hard to ......" as he spoke, tears began to fall again.

At this time, production is a ghost door, not to mention premature birth, even normal production is dangerous.

Now Da Zhu's premature birth in July, it is a matter of life and death, if it is not good, it is likely to be life-threatening, with the presence of the mother's family, it is easy to deal with anything.

didn't care about anything else, Zhu took his two daughters and hired a carriage to go straight to the county seat.

When they arrived in the county seat, Da Zhu had been tossing in the delivery room for five or six hours, but the child was still not born.

"Ouch, why did the in-laws girl come with her two daughters, this child, where is the child's family watching!" The old lady of the Zhao family complained when she saw the Zhu family.

How could Zhu Shi be in the mood to quarrel with her about this, he went directly to the delivery room, and shouted before he entered the house: "Sister, I'm here, don't be afraid!" Brother and sister-in-law will come to ...... later."

The old lady of the Zhao family immediately lowered her face: "Which woman has never given birth?" Do you need such a big formation? Your sister is giving birth to a child, not being murdered......"

Zhu glanced at it, suppressed his anger, and directly pushed the door into the delivery room.

Xu Wenlan also wanted to follow up, but was stopped by Bai Hui'er.

There are too many things to pay attention to these years, and unmarried girls' families must not enter the delivery room.

Xu Wenlan could only stand at the door and shout: "Godmother, we are all here!" You, you come on......"

It seems that this matter is not something that can be solved by refueling, but fortunately, at this time, everyone is in a hurry, and no one asks what "come on" is.

Mrs. Zhao snorted twice, and put her hands in her hands, which is similar to the common people directly copying their sleeves, but they are made of rabbit fur, which is warm!

But that's it, Mrs. Zhao was still too cold, and stared at the two girls holding hands and staring at the two girls in the delivery room for a few times, before she pretended to be polite: "It's a cold day, let's go into the house and wait!" ”

Xu Wenlan didn't say anything at all, but Bai Hui'er said politely: "Grandma Zhao doesn't have to be polite, you go and rest, we'll wait here......"

Listening to the screams of the big Zhu family in the house, if they can still go into the house to rest, then they are really not their aunts.

Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips, stretched out her hand, and immediately two girls came over to help her into the flower hall to rest.

I vaguely heard her order: "Raise the brazier higher, it's too cold this day - even if you give birth, you won't choose a day......"

Xu Wenlan's face twisted, and she almost rushed out to fight with Mrs. Zhao.

I've been saying strange things just now, and now I'm still complaining about this, or is it not human? I've seen an evil mother-in-law, but I've never seen such a bad-hearted evil mother-in-law.

Bai Hui'er was also so angry that she gritted her teeth, but kept pulling Xu Wenlan: "This is not the time to quarrel, wait until my aunt gives birth." ”

After waiting for more than an hour, the sky was getting dark, and the two girls were stomping their feet and haggling, and they still felt that they were about to be frozen, but they couldn't rest assured, and they didn't dare to go back to the house to warm up.

Da Zhu kept screaming in the delivery room, and Zhu didn't show his face, although he had no experience, but both of them knew that Da Zhu was not only premature but also dystocia, and they were anxious and afraid, even Xu Wenlan was a little panicked.

"Sister, if the godmother is ......"

"It's okay, it's okay......" was reassured, but Bai Hui'er didn't know what to say except for these two sentences.

When he was in a panic, Zhao Jiabao went outside and entered the courtyard, and as soon as he came in, he said, "Huh": "Ah, why are you all here?" ”

Xu Wenlan looked up and down, Zhao Jiabao's face was flushed, his eyes were a little hazy, and his mouth was still spraying wine, looking like this, he had just come back from drinking outside.

pursed her lips, even if Bai Hui'er pulled it, Xu Wenlan was also angry: "Godfather, do you know that the godmother is giving birth?" Why did you come back so late? ”

Zhao Jiabao was stunned at first, and then laughed: "The little girl doesn't understand this, what does it matter to a man when a woman gives birth to a child?" What difference does it make if I'm at home or not? Besides, your godmother was born early, and the delivery room is not ready yet! Really, I knew that I was going to be born so early, so I let her move the side room first, and now I make the main room bloody......"
