After the New Year, the time has entered the middle of February in a blink of an eye.

Because Zhang Lianji was still recuperating from his leg injury at home, Mei Zhijun did not send She Yufen out to hide anymore.

As She Yufen's due date approached, Wang Xiulan and Mrs. She were all taken by him to Taizi Village to take care of She Yufen.

They also came with She Meidi, who couldn't leave anyone for the time being, because there was no one at home to take care of her, Wang Xiulan brought her to She Yufen's house.

She Meidi is different from Mei Yali, she is a real child, so she doesn't care if you are busy or idle, as long as she wants to cry and make trouble, she will definitely cry out and make trouble.

With her as a comparison, Mei Yali, who is only four or five months older than her, is simply well-behaved.

She is very well-behaved and quiet, and she will help the adults do what she can - such as helping the adults to pick a few handfuls of vegetables and pinch a few green onions in the garden, and help feed the rabbits, pick up eggs, and add a few firewood to the stove.

Although she can't do jobs that require high height and physical strength, such as feeding horses, sheep, chickens, geese, cleaning, etc., she can help run errands and do chores, which is already very rare at her age.

Mrs. She and Wang Xiulan praised her a lot, but because she has always been squeamish and selective in eating, and if She Meidi provokes her, she will not hesitate to provoke her, so the two of them are like Mei Zhijun and She Yufen, they only think that Mei Yali is a good child who knows how to be considerate of her parents, but they do not speculate about her in the direction of demonization.

It was still the 14th day of the second lunar month in 1992, and She Yufen gave birth to her and Mei Zhijun's youngest son, Mei Hongwen.

Because the material conditions of the family are much better than when She Yufen was pregnant with Mei Yali, and without Zhao Huiying, she has been grinding her, so Mei Hongwen has been a big fat boy who has made people fall in love with her heart, and she is not as thin and sick as Mei Yali back then.

Because of his good health, Mei Hongwen is much better than Mei Yali.

In addition, Mei Zhijun and Wang Xiulan are very willing to supplement She Yufen's nutrition and are willing to help her share the responsibility of taking care of the child, so She Yufen's body recovery speed is also much faster than when she gave birth last time.

Because she was in a happy mood, she was able to eat good things such as white flour, millet, brown sugar, red dates, eggs, goose eggs, goat milk, pig's trotters, pig liver, chicken, and fish, so when she was out of confinement, She Yufen was a lot fatter than when she was pregnant with a child.

Pinching the swimming ring on her belly, She Yufen called "too ugly", but Mei Yali, who made a grimace at her little brother with her cheeks, was in a flying mood.

- Compared to being sick and suffering a lifetime of sin, what's the harm of gaining weight in a short period of time?

Anyway, when she starts working on the farm again, her mother will not have that opportunity even if she wants to continue to be fat.

In mid-March, Wang Xiulan was sent away with a large bag, and She Yufen immediately devoted herself to her busy daily work.

Doing housework, taking care of children, raising poultry and livestock, growing vegetables, growing crops...... She and Mei Zhijun are like spinning tops every day, busy with their feet not touching the ground.

As for the two children.

When they were at home, they would put Mei Hongwen on the kang and let the well-behaved and sensible Mei Yali look at it.

When they went to the field, they would take the two children with them, and then let Mei Yali watch Mei Hongwen in the field where a large piece of thick plastic sheet was spread.

Although Mei Yali can really only "watch", Mei Hongwen is hungry, thirsty, pulling, and urinating, and it is She Yufen who helps him solve all his physiological needs, but She Yufen is still a lot easier.

At least, she doesn't have to carry Mei Hongwen on her back all the time, and she doesn't have to worry about whether Mei Hongwen is safe after she gets out of her sight.

On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, Mei Zhijun's family killed the New Year's pig.

According to the tradition of their Taizi Village, Mei Zhijun invited Mei Second Grandfather, Mei Sixth Grandfather, Mei Jinfeng and Li Guowen to eat pig-killing dishes.

In addition to these four people, Mei Zhiqing and Mei Zhizeng also came.

Mei Zhiqing and Mei Zhizeng are brothers, and Mei Zhijun is cousins.

They are here to help Mei Zhijun's family, after all, Mei Zhijun can't count on the elders of the clan and the team secretary to help him catch and kill pigs.

With the three strong laborers of Mei Zhijun, Mei Zhizeng, and Mei Zhiqing, plus their cousin Mei Zhiyou (a self-taught pig killer in Taizi Village), who has a little distant relationship with them, the big fat pig of Mei Zhijun's family was quickly tied up by these four people and made out of the pigsty.

Mei Zhiqing's daughter-in-law and Mei Zhizeng's daughter-in-law helped She Yufen boil water, carry water, and prepare various utensils for later use in the stove room.

As for the children of the two families, the two concubines had already sent all the children to their in-laws before they came.

Their in-laws are Mei Zhijun's uncle and aunt, and these old couple are typical old scalper-like parents.

In the first half of his life, he endured hardships and raised three sons and a daughter, and then because he helped them manage the marriage, he cleaned up all the family funds.

After the family was separated, the old couple went to their own house to cook and eat by themselves.

Although the children will buy some things to honor and honor the two old people during the New Year's holidays, such "filial piety" is basically based on the heart, and the things sent are actually not worth much.

But even so, the old couple still helped their children.

In Mei Yali's previous life, their grandchildren, including their grandchildren, were basically raised by their old couple.

If you want to come to this life, it will be no exception.

She Yufen sighed with Mei Zhijun for this reason, and after she sighed that Mei Zhijun did not have a good family, she would sigh again that they had good children.

Needless to say, Mei Yali is a pseudo-Lori with a different core, and it is inevitable that she will be sensible and well-behaved.

It is rare to see Mei Hongwen, this little guy is a really well-behaved and sensible good child.

First of all, he rarely cries, and every time he cries, it must be because he has some kind of discomfort - such as hunger, thirst, pulling, urinating, and illness.

Secondly, he is very smart, when Mei Zhijun and She Yufen hug him and coax him, he will smile at them with a toothless little mouth.

Mei Zhijun and She Yufen, who were tired all day, would be tired by his laughter every time, and their two hearts would turn into a puddle of water.

Both children are complete, and the days are gradually booming again, Mei Zhijun and She Yufen are full of inexhaustible energy.

Because God appreciates food, their harvest this year is good, plus their domestic sheep, rabbits, chickens, geese, and the mushrooms She Yufen picked up in the mountains, at the end of the year, they really earned a lot of money.

Of course, this "many" is relative to the ordinary farmers in Taizi Village, as well as their own harvest last year.
