Chapter 350: Reputation is tiring
Qingnan Village suddenly became lively. There are three more talents in the village, which is a great event for those villagers!
The Zhang family is even more crowded.
Zhang Yang not only won the show, but also the child in the entire Huzhou. That's quite an honor. There are nine prefectures in Yasukuni, and it is not common for each prefecture to be able to pass three consecutive prizes in the third-level children's examination.
In the era when communications were not developed, I don't know how those news were spread, as if overnight, all the towns and villages knew about it. As a result, the Zhang family also had a lot of distant relatives who did not come to each other, some came to congratulate, some came to listen, some came to stammer, and some wanted to hang their fields in Zhang Yang's name to save some taxes.
She saw that Chrysanthemum's body was getting heavier and heavier, for fear that she would be upset by the noise, and it would be bad if she felt that her body was not good, so she asked her to go back to the Zheng family's courtyard and let the Yang family take care of her.
This morning, Chrysanthemum sat in her mother's yard, watching the little gourd crawling around on the reed mat, and then struggling to stand up staggeringly, and then her legs were weak, and she sat on the reed mat with her buttocks.
Yang picked a lot of red peppers and dried them in the yard, broke a few fresh corns and brought them back, ready to cook rice, pasted them on the edge of the pot and steamed them, she pulled off the corn husks and silk whiskers, and smiled at the chrysanthemum: "Your mother-in-law has a headache to death, why are these people so difficult to get by?" β
Chrysanthemum smiled: "As soon as Yang Zi comes back to speak, they should leave." Yang Zi got up early and went to the master's place, but he was not at home at this time, and Huaizi also went to the field, and they couldn't leave. β
It turned out that not only the relatives came, but those matchmakers came to the door again, and the He family sent them away again and again, and they went around with them all day long, not to mention how depressed they were.
Yang shook his head and smiled: "How can there be such a thing? So that you can get married? No brains. Can you book a banquet? There are three families in the village, and it will be lively for several days.
Chrysanthemum gently stroked her belly, feeling that the little guy was a little unstable, and kicked her several times, while saying, "It will be done in a few days." A few of them didn't stay at home for long, and they had to go to school in Huzhou when they turned around. Mother, when will grandma and Laishou come over? β
Yang said: "You have to wait for the corn to be harvested." I said let her come over earlier, she was always reluctant to go home, afraid that her second uncle would be too tired at home, and your second uncle would not be a homemaker. Alas, this father and mother is an eccentric little son, and she can't let go of your second uncle when he is so old. β
Chrysanthemum frowned and said, "What eccentricity? This is called a crying baby with milk to eat! The uncle's house is well arranged, so she naturally doesn't worry about it; The second uncle's house is worse, and she can't leave it behind. I don't want to think about it, if she doesn't let go like this, it's not a problem. Besides, can she still watch it for the rest of her life? Laicai is now more sensible, and she can help at home, it is when he is responsible for things, she is so worried about protecting the old and the young, no wonder the baby is not successful. β
Yang nodded and said, "I'll go back to my parents' house and tell her one day." Your second aunt is better than the first, just throw her hand to let her toss, and your grandmother came to live with me for a while, so that I can do some filial piety. β
As he spoke, he picked up the little gourd and urinated again, then threw him on the reed mat again, and muttered: "Our gourd is so good, never pee on it." β
She packed up the corn and was just about to get up to go to the kitchen, when she heard a knock on the door, hurried to the door, glanced out through the crack in the door, and said, "It's Huaizi." I thought it was the gourd daddy who came back. "While opening the far door, let Huaizi in.
Huaizi shouted to Yang: "Mother! β
Yang asked in surprise, "Hey! Are you from the ground? Why didn't you come back before noon, wouldn't you be specifically coming back to help your mother catch up with the matchmaker? Come and drink saliva. β
Huaizi couldn't help laughing, walked over to Chrysanthemum and squatted down, gently touched her belly, and smiled, "No." My father and I cut up the soybeans from the half acre of land and drove them away by the way. At this time, I want to go to Xiatangji to buy some things and prepare for a banquet. I just wanted to come and see the chrysanthemums first. β
Yang Shi heard this and hurriedly said, "Then you want Aoki to help?" Aoki: They are also chopping soybeans, and they are about to come back. β
Huaizi hurriedly stood up and said, "No." There's nothing to buy, kill a pig, the meat is enough, the fish doesn't need to be bought, and the side dishes and tofu vermicelli and dried vegetables are also available at home, but they are just buying some sugar and wine. I invited Sanshun and Uncle Zhao to go together, and it would be cheaper for everyone to buy together. β
When Yang heard this, he felt that it was appropriate, so he stopped talking, turned around and went into the kitchen, and let him talk.
Chrysanthemum looked at his tanned skin and asked, "Are those people gone?" β
Huaizi nodded and said, "It's all gone." Alas! These people feel the scenery only when they see the show, and they don't want to think about how sad other people's lives are. Yang Zi and Xiaoshi have been listening to the master's teaching for the past few days, they missed this year's township exam, and they are about to study hard for three years so that they can participate in the township exam in three years. If you are lucky enough to win the lift, you will be able to take the examination in the second year, who has the leisure to talk about family affairs at this time? β
Chrysanthemum nodded, thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid that the master deliberately arranged it like this, right?" I was worried that they were young, so I let them study for another three years after winning the show, and then they went to the exam. Otherwise, if they were allowed to take the hospital examination last year, wouldn't they be able to take the township examination this year? I will be able to participate in the test in February next year. It's just that it's too compact, and I'm afraid the foundation is not solid, and it's easy to fail the test. You see Li Changfeng is not like this. β
Huaizi nodded and said, "The master has his own considerations. Originally, I didn't want Xiaoshi to participate in the college exam, but later let him go, I'm afraid I just wanted him to go to the county school with Yang Zisishun. Now the unexpected joy is that Ding Xuezheng has taken a fancy to it, and it is safe to enter the school. β
Chrysanthemum pondered for a while, then suddenly lowered her head and whispered in his ear: "You say, if the old emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne, will he add Enko?" β
Huaizi's eyes widened suddenly, and he nodded vigorously: "No wonderΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Yang Zi reads until that late every night, I sleep and wake up, and the light is still on in his window. I still thought, he just finished the exam, and the next exam will be three years later, why is he working so hard? I see! β
The two whispered a few more words before they dropped the topic.
Huaizi put his hand on her stomach, through the thin clothes, felt that there was a bulge, and there was a slight squirming of being pushed up, and he asked happily and worriedly: "Why do you keep moving?" Is he feeling uncomfortable? Aren't you uncomfortable? β
Chrysanthemum smiled: "It's okay." Brother Huaizi, I'm afraid that our baby doesn't have a gourd to be obedient. Every time I read, or teach Xiaohulu to speak, or touch my stomach to talk, he is very well-behaved; If I don't speak for a while, he'll easily kick me. What if someone is crazy? β
Huaizi grinned, "No." He's not always making trouble.
Since I like to listen to you read and speak, it means that you are a hard-working and self-motivated person. I'll read to you both in the evening. These days are busy with farming, and we have less study, no wonder my son is not happy - isn't this delaying people's homework? His uncle works so hard, I think he will grow up like his uncle. β
Chrysanthemum listened to this father-to-be's self-righteous conclusion, snickered for a long time, and said that he was talking nonsense, how could he see that this baby likes to be lively?
The old god of Huaizi analyzed on the spot: "Neither of us is a person who loves to be lively, how can the baby who is born love to be lively?" β
Chrysanthemum shook her head and said, "There are too many babies who don't have the same temperament as their parents." How can this be said accurately? You go quickly, or you'll be too late to come back after shopping. Carrying the gourd to the car, he also climbed enough. I think he's going to go! β
Huaizi got up and carried the little gourd to the walker, and said enviously: "This kid is really good-looking, he doesn't talk much, and he has ideas, and he will be better than his father when he grows up." β
He teased the gourd a few times before turning around and going out.
Chrysanthemum did needlework for a while, felt that her neck was a little sore, her legs were swollen and wooden, her hands were sweaty, and she couldn't hold the needle, so she stood up and walked back and forth under the tree, teaching the little gourd to speak.
Although the weather was cooler, there was no sign of rain, and there was only a small amount of water left in the pond or the river, and I don't know how long it would last.
Chrysanthemum's mother and mother-in-law both caught a lot of fish from the fish pond and sold them, and also dried a lot of dried fish. If the drought is too long, there will be days when the bottom of the pond is cracked, then it will be miserable, and you have to catch the fish son and grandson, don't trouble next year?
These days, the village is driving from Mirror Lake. If this large lake is dried up, the other small ponds will not be able to survive.
She looked at the listless green bamboo in front of her, and seemed to have lost some fresh breath. Just as he was thinking about it, a cloud shadow's voice came from outside the courtyard gate: "Chrysanthemum, it's me." Are you there? β
Chrysanthemum hurriedly stepped forward to welcome her in and asked, "Didn't you go to Li's house?" What's going on with Wan'er, isn't it comfortable? β
Yunying smiled, "No, she's pregnant." Hehe, the village chief and Aunt Li are happy. But, huh! β
Seeing her, Chrysanthemum first smiled and said the good news that Li Changyu's daughter-in-law was pregnant, and then pulled down her face and snorted, and asked a little inexplicably: "What's wrong with you, such a nose is not a nose, and the eyes are not eyes, who provoked you?" Oops, isn't it because they didn't leave you for lunch, so you're upset? β
She deliberately said this jokingly, causing Yunying to roll her eyes, and she stopped when she wanted to say something, and said to Chrysanthemum: "I'll go to the kitchen to see if my aunt has anything to eat." He said as he bounced into the kitchen.
Chrysanthemum listened to her and unconsciously brought the local accent of this place, and couldn't help laughing.
After a while, Yun Ying grabbed half a piece of vegetable melon in his hand, walked out while gnawing, pulled a small stool, sat down in front of Xiao Hulu's walker, and ate it in front of him, deliberately coveting him.
The little baby looked at her with a smile on her face. Finally, she couldn't bear to be looked at by his pure eyes, so she had to exclaim, "All right, all right! Don't look at me so pitifully, I'll give you a small piece to eat. Alas! No one will be willing to treat you harshly. β
After saying that, he got up and went to the kitchen, cut a thin circle with a knife, handed it to the gourd, and asked him to grind his teeth.
Chrysanthemum looked at her with a smile, feeling that she was much better than when she first came, and she had regained the liveliness and vigor of a girl, and it seemed that as time went by, the sad past would gradually fade away, and when she gave birth safely, her medical skills would go further, and it would be even better.
