Chapter 4 Attracting Livestock

Mrs. Duan was squatting in front of the stove to light the fire, and when she heard the words of the second daughter-in-law, her eyelids jumped.

Yesterday, Song Jingshu told her that body fragrance would attract animals, but she still didn't believe it, could it be true?

She rubbed the ashes from her palms on her bib, then lifted the curtain and walked out.

"What are you arguing about, this is to please the third and the two!"

Song Jingshu had already pushed the door out, and years of experience told her that if she hadn't fed them herself, these chickens and ducks would not have left.

"Second sister-in-law, give it to me."

Song Jingshu squeezed into the flock of chickens and ducks, and the chickens and ducks all followed her.

The second daughter-in-law didn't want to feed it, but now someone took over, directly stuffed the basket to Song Jingshu, and turned to leave.

Song Jingshu took it, looked up and saw Mrs. Duan standing at the door of the stove room looking at her, and smiled: "Mother, you still need me to feed you, otherwise they won't leave." ”

"Come on, then." Mrs. Duan nodded helplessly.

Song Jingshu grabbed a handful of chaff and sprinkled it, and the chickens and ducks rushed over, as if they were grabbing some delicacies from the mountains and seas.

The second daughter-in-law closed the door tightly and sneered: "But when I first came, it turned the world upside down, and I don't know what kind of mess I will make in the future." ”

Duan Lao Er woke up early and didn't get up, he turned around: "In the morning, who provoked you again?" ”

"Mother, what's wrong?" The eldest girl and the second girl got off the kang and shrank into the arms of the second daughter-in-law.

"I don't want to do it with you, go back and get dressed, and I'll have to go to school with the fourth uncle after dinner." The second daughter-in-law patted them on the back.

Their fourth uncle, Duan Laosi, was a showman a few years ago, but after that, he kept falling off the list and turned to a private school.

Mrs. Duan felt that it was best for the girl to know Braille, and also open her eyes, so as not to be short-sighted like the second daughter-in-law, so she also let the girl in the family go to it.

Mrs. Duan gave birth to a total of four boys and one girl, and Da Lang's daughter-in-law followed Da Lang to do business, and she was born late, and died of illness not long after Duan Sanbao was born.

After his wife died, Duan Dalang took Duan Sanbao back to the village to live.

The daughter is married to Wang Liu of the town, and she once learned carpentry from Duan's father.

In his carpenter shop, half of the money was paid by Duan Dalang.

In the end, the only labor force that can be used in the family is Duan Lao and his wife, and the fourth daughter-in-law.

Except when the farm is busy, Father Duan and Da Lang will come back to help, and at other times, these three people will take care of the farmland.

The second daughter-in-law was deeply unconvinced by this, and Mrs. Duan gathered everyone at the end of the year and then calculated and gave the second daughter-in-law some benefits, so she didn't mention it anymore.

These things were also known by Song Jingshu from Duan Laosan before breakfast.

He was weak and couldn't resist the wind, so Mrs. Duan brought breakfast to the room to eat, and she didn't even have to go to the hall with Song Jingshu.

Two bowls of porridge with four eggs and some side dishes are really hearty.

There is definitely no such thing as an egg house, and it is reserved for a few of them.

"Mother, give eggs to a few children, they need nutrition when they grow up." Song Jingshu pushed the egg back into Duan Po's bowl.

Duan Laosan also followed: "Mother, mine is also given to them, and the four children are just right." ”

Mrs. Duan snorted and tossed the egg back: "How are you with thin arms and legs better than a few children?" You eat more quickly, so as not to have the strength to take care of the third child in the future, we can still afford these eggs. ”

Song Jingshu still feels a little uneasy in her heart, and it is always good to be active in work: "Mother, why don't I go to the field with my second sister-in-law!" ”

"You can talk nonsense, you can attract a nest of chickens and ducks at home, if you go out, won't the whole village follow?"

Mrs. Duan knew that the little daughter-in-law was uneasy, but vetoed her opinion.

Song Jingshu choked, knowing that what she was worried about was true.

"It's the end of the year, and there's no life in the field. If you are really idle, you can fry medicine and cook rice at home in the spring, bring the four treasures, and I will go to work in the field for you. ”

Mrs. Duan was just about to go out and stopped again, and looked back at her: "You can't cover up your marriage, and the family must always think of a unified statement." "

"Mother, let's not tell the truth." Song Jingshu looked up at her.

Mrs. Duan also thought so, and when she saw that her little daughter-in-law also said so, she was relieved to leave.

Mrs. Duan walked into the hall, and there were already a circle of people sitting around the round table.

"Mother, you're here!" The fourth daughter-in-law greeted with a smile.

The second daughter-in-law glanced at her when she saw her coming in alone.

The third child's family must have eaten well in the house, and my mother has always been so eccentric.

Mrs. Duan saw at a glance that the second daughter-in-law was in her heart, and snorted coldly: "The third daughter-in-law also eats in the room, just like the third daughter-in-law, a bowl of porridge and two eggs." ”

The second daughter-in-law widened her eyes, the third daughter-in-law ate the top in the family, and the third daughter-in-law was like this, Mrs. Duan's heart was boundless!

"The Song family was hurt a lot, but in order to marry Chongxi in a hurry, they came to a small one. If you don't take her well, you might sneak away one day. ”

Mrs. Duan slapped the table: "If anyone asks in the future, just say it truthfully." If someone in the family distorts the facts, then I will tear her mouth! ”

The second daughter-in-law shrunk her shoulders: "Mother, what did you say yours, see what I do?" ”

Mrs. Duan glanced at her: "I look at me, you are not a person who does such a thing, what do you care?" ”

After dinner, Duan Dalang and Duan's father returned to the town to work.

The fourth took the two girls to the private school, and the rest of the people went to work, leaving only the third and one room.

Song Jingshu is used to working at home, but now she is a little unaccustomed to letting her be idle.

She thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't find a topic to talk about with Duan Laosan, so she simply stood up from the kang: "I'll go and give you a torment, you can rest well in the house." ”

Mrs. Duan had already soaked the medicinal herbs before going out, and she was worried that she wouldn't, so she explained it carefully.

Duan Laosan saw her embarrassment, and he had no intention of stopping it, so he nodded: "You be careful, don't go out." ”

No matter how much he didn't believe it, after this morning's chicken and duck incident, he had to agree with the weirdness of Song Jingshu's body fragrance.

Song Jingshu lifted the curtain and went to the stove room, where one of the two earthen kangs was still burning, and a large pot of water was boiling on it.

This is the habit of Mrs. Duan, as long as there is someone in the family who does not extinguish the fire, she must boil water, so that it is not wasted, but also in case of emergency.

Song Jingshu struggled to put the pot down, filled the firewood and then served the medicine jar.

She sat down by the stove and stared closely, adding firewood from time to time.

Suddenly, Duan Sanbao walked in with a wooden basin.

Duan Sanbao was stunned when he saw Song Jingshu, and called timidly: "Third aunt! ”

"Sanbao, the private school was released so soon?"

"I have a stomachache and can't attend class." Duan Sanbao laughed dryly, and lowered his voice weakly.

"It doesn't matter, do you need to invite Langzhong?" Song Jingshu looked at his hurried look and guessed that this must be skipping class.
