Recently, Lin Wen's family, that is, Li Wan, has been a little upset. She supported her chin with one hand, and held a bamboo chopstick in the other hand to rhythmically tap the coarse porcelain white bowl in front of her, making a crisp sound of "ding ding".

A gray cloth dress full of dark patches was washed white, and the head was full of green silk and was simply fixed with a magnolia hairpin.

At this time, she was staring blankly at the ground in a daze. I don't know what to think of, "sigh", I exhaled heavily, looking preoccupied and sullen.

Just as she was frowning, a pair of big feet wearing open rag shoes crossed the threshold, and the tall figure blocked her vision: "Wanniang, it's time to eat." ”

The majestic and clear voice pulled her back to her senses, and she slowly raised her head to look at the topless peasant man. Yes, this seven-foot-tall, extraordinary-looking peasant man is her husband in this life, named Lin Yuan. And she is not Li Wan, but Wen Wan.

The man named Lin Yuan carried a bowl of yellow wowotou and a bowl of boiled cabbage on the wooden table in front of her: "Our mother just sent it, saying that it was made from the newly ground bud flour this year, fragrant, taste?" ”

He pushed the bowl in front of Wen Wan, and his tone was as gentle as old wine in a cellar.

Lin Yuan has also been a little worried recently, his mother-in-law has not moved her chopsticks for several days, and seeing that she is getting thinner and thinner, he has no way at all. The crops in the field have not been confiscated, and the rice and flour jars at home have bottomed out. This nest head was secretly steamed by his mother while his brother and sister-in-law went to the ground, and his mother-in-law followed him to make it a little harder.

"You eat, I don't have an appetite." Wen Wan frowned and pushed the bowl away again.

Lin Yuan sighed, put down his chopsticks, and took his big rough hand to probe his mother-in-law's forehead: "This is not good, Grandma Li's family eats more chickens than you, isn't it sick?" ”

Wen Wan shook her head, poked the vegetables in the bowl with chopsticks, and couldn't lift her spirits when she was sick. Seeing that Lin Yuan was so anxious that he was sweating, he was afraid that he would be worried, so he had to endure the nausea and put the dish in his mouth. Before she could swallow it, a violent nausea struck, and she suddenly put down her chopsticks to cover her mouth and vomited at the door.

After spitting up the sour water, the discomfort in his stomach was just a little better, and he was hugged by Lin Yuan and walked lightly in the direction of his ox cart.

Wen Wan cried and beat him: "Let me go, I won't go to see the doctor!" ”

Lin Yuan's face was cold, and he put her on the ox cart, "Nonsense, if you are sick, you have to see a doctor!" Can it be better to avoid medical treatment? ”

No matter how good this man is to her, he will decide to do the same thing.

Wen Wan gave up the struggle, hugged her knees and cried "woo", and glared at him with red eyes like rabbits, "Where do we have the money for medical treatment and medicine?" ”

And Chinese medicine is so bitter!

Lin Yuan sighed and helped her wipe away her tears: "With your man here, what are you about all day long!" The sky is falling, and I'm a tall guy on top! ”

After saying that, let her sit obediently in the car, and went back to the house to get the copper plate and put it in his arms, and hurriedly drove the ox cart to the town. Because of poverty, the barefoot old doctor in Lizi Village froze to death last year, and now he has to go to Heshengtang in the town 20 miles away to see a doctor.

The ox cart walked slowly on the loess road, making a "squeak" sound. Their old cow "mooed" and flicked its tail angrily to get rid of the annoying swarm of black flies.

Wen Wan sat on the ox cart, choked on the rolling dust raised by the wheels, coughed, and the rough dirt road made her bones hurt, "How far is it?" ”

Lin Yuan quickly glanced back and saw that his mother-in-law was rubbing her legs and shoulders with a bitter face. knew that she was squeamish, so he just kept coaxing her: "It's fast, it's fast, bear with it again." ”

took off his shirt with one hand and threw it on the back board, and beat the old cow more and more vigorously with the other hand: "Take this clothes and put it under your body, it will not be so embarrassing." ”

Seeing that Wen Wan was sitting in the back and still didn't say a word, she teased her with words again: "Who is such a little lady with fine skin and tender meat?" How can you be born with such a symbol, how about allowing me to be a lady? ”

Wen Wan smiled when she heard this, and pulled his ears with her hand reluctantly: "Phew, it's not serious!" Catch your car honestly! ”

Hearing the mother-in-law's coquettish laughter, Lin Yuan was relieved. Secretly, he stretched out his hand and touched the tips of Honghong's ears, and then sped up to the town. Looking at the man's stupid movements, Wen Wan curled the corners of her mouth and smiled at the golden sun.

This man has no money, and he was divided by his family as soon as he became a relative last year, and the only valuable ox cart was obtained by him by clearing the wasteland and farming day and night. Fortunately, this man is considerate and knows the cold and the heat very well, so that her otherworldly soul has settled in this village.

When the sun was setting in the west, the ox cart finally hurried to the town of Pear Blossom. Before the car could stop, Lin Yuan carefully helped Wen Wan to walk into the medical hall.

In the infirmary, there was a black-haired and white-bearded doctor, and patients were lining up to urge him to take a look. He stroked his beard, took the pulse and prescribed prescriptions in a hurry, and was very calm.

When he arrived at Lin Yuan, he hurriedly helped Wen Wan to sit down, and said to the doctor sitting in the hall: "Uncle Li, my mother-in-law has slept heavily in the past two days, and she vomits sour water without thinking about tea and rice, so please take a look." ”

Doctor Li rolled his eyelids and took out a rag bag to cushion Wen Wan's subordinates, his warm hand caught her pulse and closed his eyes silently, and the little couple was frightened.

It took a long time for Dr. Li to open his eyes: "Ximai, it's been three months, go back and take care of it." ”

Wen Wan "chuckled" in her heart, sure enough!

Lin Yuan shook Dr. Li's hand at once, and was so excited that he said incoherently: "Really? I'm going to be a dad? ”

Dr. Li, such a hairy boy, has seen a lot, and he is not annoyed, he only smiled and instructed him: "Don't have sex, don't drink medicine, avoid cold water, move around more, remember?" ”

Lin Yuan nodded again and again, happily pulling everyone in the living hall to chatter: He is going to be a father, his mother-in-law is amazing! The previous worries turned into ecstasy, and the four words of the successor kept beating his nerves, making the smile on his face brighter than the warm sun on that spring day.

Wen Wan stood aside, watching him pour copper plates on the table in front of the doctor in a hurry, and she couldn't laugh or cry.

"Uncle Li, these copper plates buy candy for your grandson to eat." Lin Yuan smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

Doctor Li hurriedly stood up and refused, grabbed the copper plate and was about to return him: "You don't need so much, ten copper plates are enough." ”

Lin Yuan just didn't see it, and quickly helped Wen Wan to the door, and shouted in his mouth: "If you want it, if you want it, you will be happy!" ”

In the atmosphere of the countryside, it is necessary to give joy money to diagnose the happy pulse.

"This kid!" Dr. Li scolded with a smile. When he came back to the town, he helped him chop wood and boil water, not to mention, and the consultation fee was never too much or too little.

When he got out of the door of the medical hall, Lin Yuan still felt like he was stepping on the clouds and fainting. He helped Wen Wan to sit down in the tea shed that he was familiar with nearby: "Wan Niang, you wait for me here for a while, I'll cut some meat and bring it back to make up for you." ”

When he came back with a full load of pork belly and pork bones bundled with straw in his hand, Wen Wan was so distressed that he gasped. Thinking about it with her toes, she also knew that the dozens of copper plates in the piggy bank at home were all touched and spent by him!

To no avail, she angrily climbed into the carriage. Lin Yuan was full of joy and was going to report the good news to his father, but he didn't feel distressed and anxious at all.

As soon as she entered the house, Lin Yuan helped her to the bed to rest, and he was about to walk to the old house in the east of the village with the meat: "You rest, I will let our mother stew this meat and bring it to you." ”

This is in a hurry to report the good news. Wen Wan nodded and lay down, she was indeed tired. With this meat, the big house can't make trouble.

Her man Lin Yuan has a total of six brothers in his family, and he is the sixth, the youngest. The first five elder brothers all have two sons, and in this Xujia Village, they are deeply rooted and prosperous. In these days, there is no such thing as family planning, and no one will think that there are few children and grandchildren.

Last year, when the youngest child was married, the Lin family was divided by the village chief and elders, and the two elders lived with the eldest child.

The day Wen Wan came in was the night of her marriage with Lin Yuan, and the festive red room was full of people. Listening to the detailed introduction of the Xi Po who sent her relatives, she reluctantly recognized her in-laws' family. The mother's family is not common, and they have met once when they return to the door of the three dynasties. knows that her mother's family is good, and her parents and brothers love her very much.

This husband is the original owner Wan Niang herself, just because she saw pigweed once when she was a child, Lin Yuan saw Wan Niang thin and thought she couldn't eat, so she went down to the river to catch a few small fish for her to eat, and when the matchmaker came to the door to propose, Wen Wan had an impression, and put a lot of landlords to show that she didn't marry, and picked the poorest Lin Yuan.

When the sun was hidden, Lin Yuan arrived at the east end of the village and "snapped" at a courtyard gate. There was a "squeak", and a woman came out of it. is in his fifties, his face is vicissitudes but his eyes are full of love, it is Lin Yuan's mother.

"Yuanzi, why are you here?" Seeing that the youngest son who was the most painful came to the house, his mother grinned, wiped her hands on the apron around her waist, took the gluttonous meat, and closed the courtyard door with her backhand and pulled her son into the house.

"A-Niang, Wanniang is pregnant! Today, I went to the town to see the doctor, and I just diagnosed the happy pulse! Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but touch his head and smile happily as he was used to when he was a child.

"Oh, but really? I said that there was a swallow flying on the courtyard wall today, and it should be here! Our old Lin family is going to add Ding again," his mother was also happy, and hurriedly gave her the old man a look at the meat of Zhangkuan.

Lin Yuan's father had just come back from the field covered in mud, and at this moment he was sitting on the threshold and snorting the tobacco in the old pipe, and the smell of inferior smoke wafted through the yard. When he saw his youngest son coming back, he just raised his eyes and glanced at it casually.

"His father, the sixth daughter-in-law is pregnant!" Seeing the old guy smoking a cigarette and blocking the door, Lin Yuan and his mother walked over and pushed him with a happy face.

"Well, stew the meat, wait for your eldest brother to come back in the evening, let's have a good drink" His father stood up and patted his buttocks, and without seeing joy and anger, he turned his head and entered the house.

"Ignore him, your dad is like this!" His mother didn't care, carrying the meat to the kitchen. This old thing, eight poles can't make a fart.

At night, Lin Mu put on an apron and was about to go to the kitchen to stew meat, but as soon as the door opened, there was still meat: "!" Who stole the meat? Mother, I lack great virtue! ”

This crying and screaming that broke through the sky made the room full of people crowd into the kitchen to see, and the old man Lin was so anxious that he pointed at his mother-in-law's nose and scolded: "How can there be no meat?" Where the hell are you putting this old woman? ”

The eldest daughter-in-law, Lin Liu, also crossed her waist and saw the stitches: "That's it, mother-in-law, how can you lose the meat?" It's too old! ”

Mother Lin sat on the ground and patted her thighs sadly, and tears flowed out uncontrollably: "If the old woman can't carry it clearly, will she lose the meat?" I close the door of this courtyard and the door of the stove! Someone must have entered the house, opened the courtyard door, and let the cats and dogs in! ”

Wild dogs in the countryside are rampant, and if they are not careful, they will be dragged to eat and eat, and if they are caught, they can only be killed. But this is meat! You can't eat meat all year round!

The eldest daughter-in-law, Lin Liu, shrank back, and she was the last one to enter the door! Lin Yuan chased out the door the moment he heard his mother crying.

When he returned, the flesh in his hand was only the size of a palm. If he hadn't run fast and snatched it from the dog's mouth, he wouldn't even have this slap meat. At the moment, my heart is sour and unspeakable, what should I do with such an idea?
