When Chrysanthemum saw him coming, she said happily: "No, I just ate four or five miles of dumplings with coriander stuffing that tastes good, you can taste it later." Is this turnip juice? ”

Huaizi sat down beside her and smiled gently, "Hello! Freshly squeezed. The radish was warmed with hot water, and the juice was not cold at all. After speaking, he poured some more and handed it to Zhao Qing in a bowl, and then handed the bamboo tube to Chrysanthemum and said, "Let's drink two sips." You like this thing so much, my mother said that I would soak some fungus and fry carrots later. ”

Chrysanthemum took two sips and said with a smile: "The fried fungus with carrots tastes good, and then cut a green garlic seedling and put it inside, it will be even more fragrant." Qing'er, don't you like drinking this? ”

When she saw Zhao Qing drinking radish juice, she frowned and asked her.

Zhao Qing thought for a while and said, "When you drink it, it's sweet in your mouth, and it smells a little ······ It's a little flavorful. She couldn't describe the smell of turnips, so she couldn't describe it.

Chrysanthemum smiled: "This is the original taste of carrots, some green, you grit your teeth and drink it, this thing is good to eat." You've eaten a lot of stuff before, so you should drink some radish juice and wash your stomach. Talking and analogy, I explained to her for a long time.

Zhao Qing obediently drank all the remaining radish juice, rinsed his mouth again, and then said to Chrysanthemum: "My mother can eat three bowls of rice in one meal, and my brother and I don't eat as much as she does, and my father said that he can't afford it." ”

Zhang Huai smiled and said, "It's strange that your father went up to the mountain to hunt hares." ”

Chrysanthemum hurriedly asked, "Isn't Uncle Zhao at home?" Then send Qing'er back quickly. Qing'er, you came to play with me when your father was at home; If your father is not at home, you better accompany your mother, and if you have anything, you can also help run errands and call people. Your mother's belly is big, and there can't be less people around, so be careful. ”

Don't look at Zhao Qing is so big, he can withstand a lot of things, he really shouldn't occupy other people's daughters.

Zhao Qing nodded hurriedly when he heard this, lifted his leg and slid down the ground with the edge of the fire barrel, and ran out with a hello to Chrysanthemum.

She suddenly found that she was very important - she had to accompany Sister Chrysanthemum and take care of her mother, she was really busy!

Zhang Huai hurriedly followed her out and sent her home before turning around.

He was very happy to see that the dumplings and juice that Chrysanthemum had just eaten and drank were not vomited, and discussed with her what tricks to eat.

The days slipped by in the busyness of eating and drinking, because of the morning sickness of the chrysanthemum, and she didn't have a good life this year, and the family took care of her mouth.

Until the spring of March, those planted peach trees suddenly spit out the aromatic stamen, mixed in the light green willows, almost people can't take their eyes off, and the two kinds of peach trees have bloomed, the flowering period has been extended a lot, until April is still peach blossoms everywhere.

Chrysanthemum mother-in-law's house, whether it is the front yard or the backyard, is a piece of peach and plum Fangfei The vegetable garden is also green, and the grass and tender chrysanthemums have also broken the ground, and the new green has melted people's hearts and brightened the world.

In such a season, such a beautiful scenery, the mood of the chrysanthemum is simply flying, although it is still vomiting, but it is much better than before. Before the spring ploughing season, Huaizi often took time to accompany her, and the two loved each other and tasted the spring of life luxuriously!

This beautiful life was temporarily interrupted by Zhang Yang's childhood test, March 10 was the day he participated in the county test, Huaizi wanted to send him to Qinghui in person, and the two wanted to say goodbye for a few days.

Also going to the exam at the same time as Zhang Yang were Xiaoshi and Liu Sishun, and I don't know what Master Zhou thought, so he asked Xiaoshi to also participate in this children's exam. He is only eleven years old, and I am afraid that he is the youngest child to take the exam this time.

In the early morning of March 8, the four families of the Zhang family, the Zheng family, the Zhao family, and the Liu family gathered in the village school, including the village head Li Gengtian, and everyone gave them a lot of advice, but Zhou Fuzi did not say a word, and nodded at a few of them.

There were also quite a few villagers who came to see them off. The exams of these three people are completely different from the feeling that Li Changfeng's brothers took the Xiucai exam back then - the county school is too far away from everyone, but these children are studying in the village school, if they can be admitted to Xiucai, it will undoubtedly be a great encouragement to everyone.

Seeing that everyone was talking excitedly, Zhou Fuzi frowned, interrupted them with words, and urged a few people to hurry up.

So, Zhang Yang and others were sent to Xiatangji by Aoki in a carriage under the eyes of the whole village, accompanied by Huaizi and Liu Sanshun, Zhao San felt that he couldn't read big characters, and it was useless to go, so he solemnly entrusted the small stone to Zhang Huai.

Zhang Huai left, Chrysanthemum's heart was empty, so she asked Meizi to go to the river to cut Artemisia and Ma Lantou, and Xiao Zhaoqing naturally followed.

Chrysanthemum squatted for a while, felt that her legs were a little sore, so she straightened her waist and looked around, the flowers and willows by the river, the river murmuring, she heard her son's loud shout from Meizi's house in the distance, and she was coaxed by the flower woman.

"Meizi, is your mother-in-law helping you take care of your son?" She asked.

Meizi quickly cut Ma Lan's head with scissors, and said with a smile: "Bracket! She and my mother helped take care of it for a few days, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do it. Alas, it would be nice to have a second child two years later, and it would be unbearable to rush one stubble after another. ”

Chrysanthemum nodded and smiled: "It's too dense." It's good to be like Xiaoshi and Qing'er, Aunt Zhao gave birth to Qing'er, and Xiaoshi can help bring her sister; Now that Aunt Zhao is about to give birth again, Qing'er can also help bring her younger brother or sister. ”

Zhao Qingzheng squatted beside her, heard this, raised his head and smiled at her, and lowered his head again and got busy.

Chrysanthemum smiled and squatted down, pointed at her, "Cut the tender head on this, don't be too old - you can't chew it." If you don't believe it, you can try it with your hands first. Anyway, this Malan head and artemisia are everywhere, so you don't need to be so economical. Zhao Qing nodded.

Over there, Meizi sighed and said, "That's no way, slowly move forward." Now my family Jingwen sleeps with his father at night, and his father helps him get dressed in the morning, and his father helps take a bath at night, and his father takes care of his meals......"

Before she finished speaking, Chrysanthemum had already laughed: "Ouch! Brother Changming, this is a father and a mother.

Meizi, Brother Changming treats you so well, I see that whether he goes out to work or comes home, he walks with a trot. ”

Meizi smiled sweetly, didn't speak for a while, and then said, "I know." He was always afraid that I would not be able to keep busy at home alone, and he would miss home when I went out; At home and in a hurry, isn't this just the same as robbing? Chrysanthemum, now even my mother says that I picked a good man. So I was busy all day long, and I never felt that the days were hard or tired. ”

Chrysanthemum smiled, and said in her heart that it really took a lot of courage for Meizi to marry Li Changming, but fortunately she chose the right one.

Meizi took a few steps closer in the direction of the chrysanthemum and sat down under a peach tree. She patted the grass beside her and said to Chrysanthemum: "Come and rest, let's get pregnant, it's not good to always squat and do things." The grass is still clean, so let's sit down and talk for a while. ”

Chrysanthemum greeted Zhao Qing, and sat down next to the plum in the past, only to see the breeze passing by, a few pink petals fell on her head and shoulders, and the young woman in the countryside smiled lightly, looking leisurely and free!

Zhao Qing was like a hard-working little bee, and said to Chrysanthemum in a crisp voice: "I'm not tired yet, Sister Chrysanthemum." Rest, I'll cut here. ”

The little baby is full of energy and greed for freshness, and vows to fill her little basket so that she can go home to ask for her father's praise.

Chrysanthemum let her go.

Meizi suddenly whispered to Chrysanthemum: "Chrysanthemum, do you know, Liu'er is very sick, I'm afraid it won't happen." ”

Chrysanthemum was startled, Huo Ran turned her head and asked in surprise, "Is this true?" Who do you listen to? ”

Meizi said wistfully: "Listen to what my mother said." She went to Xiatangji with someone, and met Liu Erniang to see Liu Er, who came out of Tang's house to wipe her tears, and asked her, she just said. ”

Chrysanthemum asked, "What's the disease?" Isn't it okay to see? ”

Meizi shook her head and said, "It's not a serious illness, but I have two babies in a row, and I just tossed my body down." Chrysanthemum, I know that this is just a disease on the surface, but in fact, she is not doing well in the Tang family, which is the root of the disease. Therefore, you said that I gave birth to one child after another, although it was hard, but the life was smooth, which was better than anything else. I feel sad when I think of Liu'er in the past two days. ”

Chrysanthemum was silent, and two babies flowed in a row, what dirty and filthy things are not visible, you don't have to guess, you can think about it. Liu Er, after all, failed to transform into a woman suitable for the survival of the mansion

Meizi continued: "My mother said that you have to be more powerful to live in such a big family, and Liu Er is still far behind her mother. If she had been a little more spicy, she might not have looked like this. ”

Chrysanthemum looked at the pink petals on the grass and said softly: "In a big family, it is impossible to be powerful with a bare mouth, and you have to have a plan in your heart." We farmers are really good-looking, and no matter how powerful we are, we can't go anywhere. She has been married for so many years, and she hasn't learned a little, so she will inevitably suffer. ”

Meizi nodded and said: "Listen to my mother, Liu Erniang also regretted it, she wanted to take Liu Er back to raise, but the old lady of the Tang family refused to let go, saying that marrying into the Tang family is a member of the Tang family, and even if she dies, she will die in the Tang family." ”

Chrysanthemum felt uncomfortable, what she hated most was these rules and etiquette, so she couldn't help but say: "If Liu Erniang really regrets it, she should let the Tang family take a break from Liu Er and take her back, maybe she can still get better." ”

Meizi was startled: "Divorce her?" This...... Isn't that okay? ”

Seeing that she looked unacceptable, Chrysanthemum decided to help her brainwash, so she gave her a blank look and said, "Everyone is going to die, so what do you care?" Meizi, you can't be so stupid, right? How old is Liu'er? If you come back from retirement and your body is well-raised, you can still get married. Otherwise, would you have been waiting for death in the Tang family? ”

Meizi obviously couldn't keep up with Chrysanthemum's train of thought, and asked hesitantly, "Hugh will be fine when he comes back."

Chrysanthemum shook her head and said, "I don't know about this." Didn't you say that the root of her illness was that she was not doing well in the Tang family? If that is the case, Hugh will come back and let go of his mind, and the disease may be cured. ”
