At this time, Yang and Liu Yunlan walked into the kitchen, and when they saw a few people laughing happily, they asked why they were so happy. Zhang Shi told her what he had just said.

Yang smiled: "Sister-in-law, you can be content." With such two daughters-in-law, what else do you have to say? Some people's daughters-in-law have made a mess in the family, and it's not the same. It's inevitable to just mumble something - I like to mumble some things myself, but there is no concubine to pick it up, so no one argues with me. ”

Zhang nodded and said, "That's it, so I separated them." Now it's just muttering, if it's been a long time, it's not good to hurt the brotherhood by arguing. ”

So the three of the Yang family pulled up the new things in ten miles and eight towns, and Chrysanthemum and Liu Yunlan listened to the news with pointed ears while cooperating with chopping vegetables and stir-frying, and when they heard interesting places, they secretly pursed their lips and smiled.

Don't say, Chrysanthemum thinks these are really good, if it is judged regardless of right or wrong, purely from the perspective of life, this is a vivid rural life script, one person and one image, one family and one story, families are connected, and villages are related. Of course, there are a lot of unpleasant and unfair things, and more of them make people laugh more than once.

Among them, when the mother-in-law was eccentric, she killed the chicken, and gave the chicken thighs and other good meat to the girl to hide at the door of the stove to eat, and the remaining chicken heads, chicken feet, chicken wings and other bones were mixed and brought out for the daughters-in-law to eat, causing them to complain one by one.

As soon as Zhang finished speaking, first of all, Chrysanthemum couldn't stop laughing, and she couldn't even hold the kitchen knife steadily; The second is He's, she laughed and shouted: "Oh, every time I kill a duck, the chicken thighs and duck thighs are eaten by my youngest son, and the chrysanthemums have always eaten chicken feet and chicken wings, at most give her a chicken calf to taste."

Zhang was stunned when he heard this, he couldn't figure out what He meant by this, and she didn't look like a mother-in-law who would treat chrysanthemums badly? Even if it's really a mistreatment, it's not good to say this in front of Yang, so it's not good to take it, just look at Yang's response.

Liu Yunlan and Yang couldn't stop laughing.

After laughing for a while, Liu Yunlan said to Zhang: "Auntie, chrysanthemums like to eat these." When she killed the chicken, she was the first to take away the chicken wings and feet, and then the chicken calves and chicken hearts, chicken gizzards, and chicken intestines. Chicken is also eaten and likes to nibble on the meat on the neck and backbone of the chicken. ”

Zhang suddenly realized, and then clapped his hands and smiled: "No wonder when she went to my house that year, she picked up chicken feet and chicken wings by herself." I also thought that this baby was too polite to eat all these miscellaneous things, so I helped her pick up her thighs and chicken breasts. I always felt that she was polite, and told her not to talk about these face-saving things at her uncle's house. ”

Yang and He laughed.

After Zhang finished speaking, he asked curiously, "Chrysanthemum has only liked to eat these in the past two years, right?" Otherwise, you don't see much meat in previous years, and you still don't like to eat chicken thighs? Isn't that a fool?"

Yang nodded and said, "That's for sure, I didn't have anything to eat when I was a child, so where else can I pick."

Chrysanthemum muttered in her heart, fortunately, the change between rich and poor is more obvious, otherwise this hobby will be suspected. Of course, if you really want to be poor all the time, you are afraid that you will have to chew even the bones and dregs three times, let alone chicken thighs, where will you remember this hobby at that time?

After a busy day, the guests dispersed, and Liu Yunlan's mother Zhang, Chrysanthemum's grandmother Wang, and two old aunts and grandmothers stayed. The old man's days in the world are one day less, and he misses his mother's family very much, although the older generation is gone, but this is always the place where they lived when they were children, and Zheng Changhe's nephew and the Yang family respect them very much, and they don't feel unfamiliar when they stay here, only cordial.

The eldest aunt and grandmother were reluctant to let go of the little gourd until he fell asleep, and then handed it to Liu Yunlan to carry back to the room. She rubbed her somewhat sore arm and turned her gaze to Chrysanthemum: "Chrysanthemum, you have to be careful, it's time too."

Chrysanthemum had just finished helping Yang's clean up the kitchen, and had some melon seeds and peanuts out for everyone to gossip, when she heard her aunt and grandmother say this, she asked a little inexplicably, "What should you be careful?"

The second aunt and grandmother stabbed the old sister with her arm, and smiled kindly: "They little people know what they know, why do we old people have to worry about it." Chrysanthemum is much younger than her sister-in-law, and it is common for her to be pregnant later. ”

Chrysanthemum then understood that they were talking about giving birth to a baby, and couldn't help but feel depressed, and said in her heart, this is not better than planting crops, and you can harvest it diligently, so why should she be careful?

But she did not know that it was compared to the planting of crops.

Zhang heard Liu Yunlan say that this sister-in-law treated her very well, so he liked her very much, and then interjected with a smile: "Isn't it, I also entered the door for two years before I became pregnant with my family Yunlanli."

This matter can't be rushed, the chrysanthemum is still very small, and it is blessed at first glance, and there will be life in the future. ”

Wang Shi took the flat bamboo plate containing melon seeds in Chrysanthemum's hand, touched her hand with a smile, pulled her to her side and sat down, didn't say anything, turned his head and talked to the old aunt and grandmother about the Zheng family's calf.

When he went to bed at night, Chrysanthemum shrank in front of Huaizi and complained to him: "If I don't give birth to a baby quickly, people will ask me when they see it."

Huaizi rubbed her back with her hand, rubbed her smooth cheek with her chin, kissed her, and said with a smile: "What do you say about the housekeeper, I won't urge you." Touching the house, touching a big pot, the one who falls behind is not necessarily the least, sometimes more than the life of the gentleman. You only have to look at the eggplant after autumn to know how well it bears; And that late rice, hasn't it been cut yet, and you can still harvest a rice warehouse. ”

Chrysanthemum couldn't help but laugh and pull his ears angrily: "What are you talking nonsense?" Do you have such an analogy? The eggplant after the autumn, at most, refers to a stubble when it is approaching, how can it be compared with me? I'm like an eggplant seedling that has just been planted in the spring, and everyone is blooming and I haven't bloomed yet. ”

Huaizi hurriedly shouted: "It shouldn't be compared like this." That's nothing, the first to bloom is the first to thank, the first to bear fruit is the first to pick; The one that blooms after us also bears a tree of eggplant. ”

Chrysanthemum smiled and slapped him on the shoulder, shouting, "Why don't you always leave the eggplant?" Why don't you talk about peaches and plums? The peach trees we got from Liu Xiaomei's house are not the same as the peaches bought by Cousin Laixi, Xiaomei's family blooms and bears fruit first, and the kind that Cousin Laixi bought will be later - it will not ripen until almost July, but the taste is much sweeter and the size is bigger. ”

Huaizi nodded again and again, her eyes sparkling in the dark night, and she smiled happily: "That's the case, you are like the peach that only ripened in July, although the flowers are late, the fruit is big and sweet."

The two of them thought about the analogy and laughed together

No wonder the daughter-in-law in the countryside attaches so much importance to having a baby, if you don't have a baby, others will annoy you to death if they gossip. No, it's like a competition, Meizi is pregnant again, Bamboo is also pregnant, Liu Sanshun's daughter-in-law Xiaoxiu is also pregnant, and as for Zhao Dazui's daughter-in-law Guizhi, she was pregnant with her second child before she was weaned.

Chrysanthemum once said to Huaizi that she was under a lot of pressure to stay in the middle of a group of pot-bellied women. Huaizi looked at her funny, where did she look like she was stressed? He deliberately said to her indifferently: "We are the peaches ripe in July, let them be good first."

The weather is getting colder, and without the sausage workshops, people's lives are much looser, but the hard-working people always have work to do, raking firewood and grass in the mountains, working in the cabbage and radish fields, etc., and there is no rest.

Aoki and Locust raked firewood on the mountain for several days in a row, and brought back a lot of dry branches and leaves, pine needles and thatch, and piled them up like voles storing grain, waiting for winter.

When the first snow fell this year, Chrysanthemum felt that the days were extremely relaxed and joyful, and this was the most relaxing winter she had ever had in this plane. Because the first winter was busy with small business, and he was poor at that time; In the next few years, he began to sell sausages again, and there was no time to stop.

Nowadays, the food eaten by the family, the pigs, and the cows, including firewood and grass, are fully prepared, and the real farmer family has hidden the winter.

She took Zhao Qing to do needlework, or went back to her parents' house to tease them and ignore their little gourds, and then kicked the shuttlecock to warm her hands and feet, one big and one small had a lot of fun, sometimes Meizi and Guizhi also brought their children over to play, and the three little babies were full of trouble.

When Chrysanthemum finds out that she is pregnant, this winter will be even more joyful and joyful.

That night, Zhang Huai heard Chrysanthemum whisper to him that she was pregnant with a baby, and asked in disbelief: "Are you not mistaken?" Chrysanthemum, do you know what it looks like? If you don't know, let's ask my mother?"

Chrysanthemum thought that he would be overjoyed, but who expected that he didn't believe it, so he was so angry that he twisted his arm, gritted his teeth and said, "Am I so ignorant?" It's not clear what your own body is? If you don't believe it, forget it. ”

Huaizi hurriedly hugged her tightly and said in a loud voice: "I believe, I believe." I ······ I just couldn't believe it."

Chrysanthemum couldn't help but laugh softly when she heard him speak, she leaned on his chest, rubbed his chin with her forehead, and whispered: "I can't be mistaken, I haven't been here for a few days, and I always feel that something is different in my body......"

Her soft voice seemed to have a kind of magic in the dark night, infecting Huaizi, as if she was afraid of alarming the little life, Huaizi also became solemn, he stretched out his big hand to rub the chrysanthemum's lower abdomen through his clothes, and whispered in her ear: "Then you kicked the shuttlecock with Zhao Qing two days ago, will it be okay?"

Chrysanthemum shook her head and said, "I kick for a while every time, and I'm not tired, I don't like to play out of breath." Speaking of this, she was glad that if she forgot her form when she played, something might happen, and her body was not very strong.

Huaizi should have been ecstatic, but he quietly hugged the chrysanthemum and whispered in her ear: "Hua'er, we have to have a baby." You want to be good in the future, and the baby will be good too, you know?"
