Chapter 253: Survival after the catastrophe

After many days of thunderstorms, the rare sunny day makes people look full of joy, the red sun hangs high in the sky, and even the dew drops on the weeds on the roadside look crystal lovely. The villagers had already shouted in groups to work in the fields, and some young women and children also heroically carried hoes and followed them to the fields. A group of people were talking and laughing, their faces were full of satisfaction and happiness, and they seemed to be very harmonious.

A woman who is nearly thirty-five years old, wearing a coarse cloth skirt, has no jewelry on her upper and lower body, but a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes make people feel that simplicity is the greatest brilliance. Holding a dustpan of sorghum stalks, she burrowed into a dilapidated house, looked at the people on the kang in the inner room, and tried to keep her voice low, but she still seemed to be loud.

"Mo Niang, is the little brother awake?" She walked over cautiously, and saw the child lying in her arms, and her big eyes immediately lit up, and she was cautious and joyful, and she wanted to take the child and hold it in her arms.

At this moment, Shaohua is wearing a coarse cloth skirt like the woman, and her smooth and delicate face feels like a mother and daughter compared to the woman. She followed the woman's gaze and fell back to the baby in her arms, and immediately revealed infinitely soft and gentle maternal love.

God really treats her well, thinking about such a dangerous situation at the beginning, let alone children, ordinary people encounter this situation is difficult for adults to keep.

But they were all safe and sound, and they couldn't remember how they got here, only vaguely broken and messy memories, as if their bodies were conscious, and they felt that they had come to a safe place. The stomach pain again made her unable to sleep, and she tried her best, but the child slipped out like this, and there was no difficulty of the first child at all, and even the mother-in-law who came later was amazed.

What surprised them even more was that the originally heavy rain was turned smaller by the child's cry. When they settled Shaohua and the child with all their hands and feet, and watched the mother and son fall asleep, they realized that the rain had stopped at some point, and the night sky was different and bright.

"No, I yelled a few times and fell asleep again." Shaohua watched the little pink ball's fleshy claws tightly grasp her placket and bury her face in her chest, as if she was not happy to be looked at by others, this arrogant temper made Shaohua funny and angry.

But the woman came over more excitedly, sat down beside Shaohua, took out a finger and wiped it on her clothes, and then poked Xiao Fandough's face. Seeing him muttering dissatisfiedly, and even drilling into Shaohua's arms, the woman looked very happy, her face wrinkled with a smile, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, looking at the little brother's eyebrows, it's like a face doll, and it makes people happy." If I don't bluff you, I've never seen such a beautiful baby at such an age, and no one will believe it if it's a girl. ”

Although the woman was exaggerating, she had seen Xin Zixuan's son born, and Shaohua also knew that the newborn child would inevitably be crumpled and would grow in a few days. But her son was like a natural jade, his fleshy face was whirring and soft as soon as he came out of his mother's womb, and his cry was louder and more powerful than that of other children.

What made Shaohua feel happy and helpless was that this little ancestor didn't like to cry, and even the first cry was perfunctory twice, and the tears were stopped without falling. Everyone said that this child has spirituality and wisdom, and is definitely a noble life.

"Sister-in-law Zhuang'er, don't boast, children are thin-skinned, but don't praise them." No matter what, listening to being praised as his child, Shaohua was still happy in his heart. She was afraid that the child would be suffocated in her arms, so she turned his head around, and he opened his mouth and babbled, and then turned back.

The daughter-in-law of the stake was unhappy with Shaohua's disapproving attitude, although the child was not hers, but how she liked it, even Shaohua felt reluctant when he said no. "How come, little brother, this is a noble life, don't be afraid." Afraid that Shaohua would not believe it, the daughter-in-law of the wooden stake immediately sat up straight, making herself look more reliable.

"Mo Niang, don't believe it, the little brother is really a noble life, you see how dangerous it was that day, he was born safely. cried at him, and God was immediately so frightened that even the rain was put away, this is not what a noble person is, it is definitely a god in the sky. "The stake daughter-in-law thought that she could offer such an immortal at home, even if she was asked to go out to ask for it, she would be happy.

Shaohua showed a wry smile on her face, although she knew that her son was not very different from others, but it was definitely not as exaggerated as the stake daughter-in-law said.

"Sister-in-law Zhuang'er, look at what you said, it feels like I gave birth to a monster." As if hearing the mother's teasing, the child in her arms kicked her legs, and then continued to sleep.

Shaohua thought it was funny, but the daughter-in-law of the wooden stake was also a little surprised by his actions, and immediately became nervous, "Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense!" Don't look at the child's child, the soul at this time still remembers the past, and you will offend the gods by saying this. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, every time Shaohua made fun of him, he would kick his legs and babble and complain.

Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that he couldn't study it with the stake daughter-in-law, otherwise he would become a sinner.

Looking at his son, Shaohua raised the corners of his mouth slightly, he was actually born with a self-cooked, and he tossed so many things before he was born, which made everyone scared with him. As a result, as soon as he was born, he attracted the love of everyone, and everyone was vying to take a look, this jade doll that was descended from heaven to earth.

Although the process of her birth was very easy, but this rain did not toss her half a life, just in time for the confinement, this village is said to be poor, but it must not be compared with her own family. After three days of high fever, Shaohua couldn't remember how many times he woke up, and later heard from the daughter-in-law of the stake that as long as she woke up, the child would definitely cry, as if she was reminding others.

What's even more strange is that this child recognizes his mother, as long as Shaohua is by his side, anyone can hold him. But once he was out of Shaohua's sight, even if his eyes were closed, the child cried miserably and loudly, as if he was going to shake the earth. The daughter-in-law of the stake had no choice but to let their mother and son stay together, moved a spring bench by herself, and slept next to each other.

Shaohua felt that he deliberately didn't go, but this house was just a kang, and the children of the daughter-in-law of the stake were driven by them to sleep in other people's houses. And the stake that day brought her back slept on a stool at the door, and did not dare to come in and disturb them.

"Sister-in-law Zhuang'er, when will Brother Wooden Stake come back?" She didn't dare to reveal her identity directly, pretending to be the daughter-in-law of a big family in Beijing, rushing back to her hometown to give birth, and being robbed and discarded halfway. So he went to the capital to find someone for her, and when he thought of Yan Kaizhi not knowing when he would come back, whether Mrs. Yan had left the palace, Shaohua was silent about the Marquis of Xingyong's mansion. And the Li family is too big and chaotic, Li Xunzhuo has been running away for almost a long time, she doesn't dare to let the Ling family know, so she is in vain.

Thinking about it, Youning is the best candidate, and she follows the name of Zimo to the outside world, and the daughter-in-law of the stake likes it very much, and keeps shouting that she is called Mo Niang.

The daughter-in-law patted Shaohua's hand and comforted: "Don't worry, Xiaoshu's father has only been out for three days, how can he be so fast." This time he was lucky enough to catch up with the ox cart, otherwise he would have to walk for five or six days on his own feet. Don't worry, Xiaoshu's father is a sincere person, and he will definitely find your man for you. You, just rest assured to raise your body here, although we have no fish or meat in this house, but an egg a day will definitely not be missing you. ”

An egg can't even be stuffed between the teeth of a person in Kyori, but here it is as precious as gold. Shaohua understood in his heart, so he was also full of gratitude, but the daughter-in-law of the stake said stupidly: "You can't eat enough, how can you feed the child." ”

Shaohua smiled bitterly, daring to love her son's face to have this honor.

"Thank you, Sister-in-law Zhuang'er." Shaohua is sincerely grateful.

The daughter-in-law of the stake is a simple and simple person, and her temperament is also hearty and generous, and she is not used to Shaohua's politeness, she waved her hand, "Thank you, thank you, this is your fate, you can survive such a ghost weather." I heard that the daughter-in-law of Lao Xie, the head of the village, also went out on a rainy day, but she slipped and fell, and her full-term children were gone, and she lost half her life. ”

Shaohua also heard about this, so some people said that it was because Shaohua and they lived in the village, and they were with nobles with hard lives, and those who were blessed were easy to lose. Thinking that Shaohua was also sent to Pu'an by the Ling family because of this, she was faintly uneasy, for fear that these superstitious people would not be unfavorable to them.

The daughter-in-law of the stake didn't think as much as Shaohua thought, she still said to Shaohua seriously: "So I said, the little brother must be the reincarnation of a nobleman, in the words of the old man, what kind of elephant, what kind of noble." These two sentences made the stake daughter-in-law seem overstretched, and she couldn't say it all.

"A-Niang, she was born with a vision, and she will be a nobleman." A bright child's voice, an eight or nine-year-old boy came in from outside, saw Shaohua, and shyly made a not-so-standard gift to her, which is said to have been taught by Mr.

Shaohua also nodded at him, it was thanks to his spirit that she was saved. Shaohua thought to himself that if he went back, he would definitely repay this family.

The daughter-in-law of the wooden stake scolded while lovingly holding her son into her arms, "Stinky boy, use you to teach, after school, what Mr. taught today, you can do it, but you are not allowed to be lazy." ”

I don't know if the boy is beginning to know how to be shy, he doesn't like his mother to treat him as a child in front of Shaohua, so he broke away from his mother's hand and couldn't help complaining. "Auntie, what do you think of me, I can memorize the thousand-character text taught by Mr. If you don't believe me, I'll recite it to you. ”

The stake daughter-in-law smiled, "Then you can carry it." ”

Mu Xiaoshu glanced at Shaohua secretly, and when he saw her smiling and nodding at him, Mu Xiaoshu lowered his head a little embarrassed, then cleared his throat, posed as if he had dropped his book bag, and opened his mouth to come: "Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate." The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and moon are shining. The cold comes and the summer comes, and the autumn harvest is hidden in winter. The leap is more than an adult, and the law is adjusted to the yang. While he was carrying it, he couldn't help but use the corner of his eyes to check Shaohua's attitude, seeing that she was listening carefully, Mu Xiaoshu seemed particularly encouraged, and he couldn't wait to memorize the whole article.

"That's all? Nothing?! I thought it was a big deal. "At the beginning of the year, I invited a Xiucai to teach children in several nearby villages, but Xiucai refused to give up a lot of food, and then he was reluctant to let him come to teach the children for two days every ten days. For this reason, children of all ages rushed to listen, Mu Xiaoshu was older than others, but he remembered it quickly, and he was very popular with Xiucai.

Mu Xiaoshu, who was waiting to be praised, saw his mother's disgusted face, and blushed, "A-Niang!" Others can't even memorize a sentence, but I can memorize it all at once. The following gentlemen didn't teach, but if I did, I would definitely be able to memorize it. In order to take care of other children of different ages, Xiucai didn't dare to teach too much, so Mu Xiaoshu learned early and left school.

Shaohua looked at Mu Xiaoshu's eager performance, and said with a chuckle: "The clouds cause rain, and the dew turns into frost." Jin Sheng Lishui, jade out of Kungang. The sword number is huge, and the pearl is called luminous. ”

As a result, their mother and son were frightened, Mu Xiaoshu became even more excited, and ran to Shaohua and said, "Sister Mo Niang, you can also carry it?" ”

Shaohua smiled, "Learn a little," she only said that she was a girl from a big family, and the wooden stake couple was honest and didn't ask too much, but secretly thought that the maids of the big families in Beijing were so well-behaved and knowledgeable, they must let Mu Xiaoshu read more books and go to Beijing in the future.

Just when Mu Xiaoshu pestered Shaohua and asked her to repeat the words just now to him, a mountain of howls followed the figure to break in, looking at the happy appearance of the two pairs of mother and son, she wiped her sweat in a hurry and shouted: "Wooden stake daughter-in-law, it's not good!" Hide. ”

The stake daughter-in-law frowned, pulled her throat, and shouted: "What's wrong, did I kill someone or set fire, why do I hide." My man is not there, but I haven't been left behind for a day, I don't steal or rob, and I have to hide if I do something unseemly. The stake daughter-in-law thought that the village head was coming to blame her for not working, so she immediately jumped up and retorted.

The majestic and mighty woman hurriedly said, "At this time, you are still poor, and you are here." ”

As soon as she heard Lai Touzhang, the daughter-in-law of the wooden stake immediately changed her face: "What! Quick, little tree, hide Mo Niang and the little brother. Mu Xiaoshu was also startled, and hurriedly followed her mother to help Shaohua off the bed and settle her in the vat next to the stove.

Shaohua was inexplicably frightened by their inexplicable actions, "Sister-in-law Zhuang'er, what the hell is going on." ”

The stake daughter-in-law didn't have time to explain so much to her, so she hurriedly asked her to squat down and prepare to cover the lid, "Don't ask, I'll tell you later, you heard, I didn't call you, don't make a sound, coax the little brother, don't let him cry, if Lai Touzhang's old prostitute finds out, it won't be good." ”

"And what do you do?" Shaohua also vaguely knew something, and asked nervously.

The daughter-in-law of the wooden stake grabbed the flat burden on the side, and said angrily: "I'm not afraid, I'm an old skin and old meat, if he dares to play tricks, I will fight with him." ”

Mu Xiaoshu also held a mallet, and said viciously: "And me!" ”
