Chapter 23 Who Gave Birth to Lose Money and Put Full Moon Wine?
In the blink of an eye, Little Begonia has been more than 20 days.
The full moon banquet is also going to be actively prepared.
The firewood is more than enough, not to mention a full moon banquet, even in winter.
There are a lot of duck eggs and eggs at home, and it is enough to make a dish when holding a full moon banquet.
But food and meat are not enough.
At noon, Mrs. Chen went to the south of the village under the big acacia tree and said to the villagers who were enjoying the shade here:
"This year's rice harvest in the field is good, our family wants to buy grain, who wants to sell grain, tell me.
We will pay whatever price is in the grain store, and we will definitely not lose you. ”
The men in the village were a little moved when they heard this, but they were afraid to talk to her.
There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, who dares to provoke them?
Although Mrs. Chen is already a grandmother, she is only in her forties after all.
Others are already very old in their forties, but Mrs. Chen has fine skin and tender flesh, and she is smart, and she looks better than her twenty-five or six-year-old daughter-in-law.
I don't know what people are like.
If they talk to her, the dog leftover mother doesn't know what to say.
It's just that this Chen is easy to mess with, but he is a pungent one, who goes to other people's homes to find death and life at every turn, and slanders people's coffin boards.
Who can stand wow?
Therefore, the men did not dare to speak up.
Some of the women, who were a little afraid of her because of the haunting of the river before, wanted to make friends with her, and said:
"Cheng, if you sell grain, we'll tell you."
Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "In a few days, my girl will be full moon, and we will have a full moon wine."
Then you're all going to eat. ”
This time, the men who pretended to be calm couldn't sit still.
Full moon wine?
Who gave birth to a girl and put a full moon wine?
In their opinion, girls are money-losers, who wants to spend more money on them?
It's not bad if you don't die.
In fact, they can't be blamed for being ruthless.
There are many children in the family, and if you have one more mouth to eat, if you don't get it right, the children in the family will starve to death.
Everything is poor.
The daughters-in-law were also surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Do you really want to hold a full moon banquet?" ”
"Of course, our family has been looking forward to it for ten years, and finally we are looking forward to a next generation, of course the full moon banquet will be held." Mrs. Chen said happily.
Everyone thinks to themselves, what kind of junior is a girl?
The girl held a full moon banquet, and they don't have this rule here.
Everyone agreed that the girl was not worthy of a full moon feast.
Could it be that Mrs. Chen really likes girls?
It doesn't make sense.
No matter how they figured it out, they still couldn't change the fact that Mrs. Chen was really going to hold a full moon banquet.
They couldn't help but sigh, Liu Guilan's life is really good.
Mrs. Chen came here to smile and drink, but she didn't really plan to buy food from the village.
Everyone is a tenant, and after planting the landlord's field, they have to pay rent to the landlord's family.
After paying the rent, you have to pay all kinds of taxes, and after paying the taxes, you have to keep enough to grow grain.
As a result, there is not much food left.
In good years, you have to tighten your belt to live.
The rest of the ration will be eaten next year.
Who knows what next year will bring?
There is food at home, and there is no panic in my heart.
I thought that in the past, when the years were bad, the bark could be picked off and gnawed.
Aren't the big elm trees before the acacia poplar all because the bark was pulled off and gnawed, so that they do not sprout in the next year?
Only this acacia tree is left with a long and sturdy tree.
However, the past few years have not been too bad.
There was no starvation, but it was not possible to eat with an open belly.
Especially this year, the wind and rain have been smooth.
The crops in the field grew exceptionally well, and the ears of grain were bowed their heads.
The lower the head of the grain, the better the crop grows.
This year will be a bumper harvest, but there should not be many people selling grain.
Mrs. Chen just took this opportunity to tell everyone that their family was going to hold a full moon banquet and invite the neighbors to dinner.
She left happily.
The big cow lady snorted and said, "Isn't it just that you gave birth to a money-losing product?" Fine. ”
The others scattered in a hurry.
The big cow girl is the same as the dog leftover girl, and she has been taught repeatedly.
She is not afraid of Chen Yuan's revenge, they are still afraid.
Everyone dispersed in a hurry, and the big cow girl didn't know what was going on, so she scolded and walked home.
After walking two steps, he accidentally tripped over the bare tree roots on the ground, and fell into the mud.
When the people who left before heard the movement, they all looked back at the big cow girl.
Seeing her fall to the ground, they were all frightened and turned blue.
There was no one to help her, and everyone ran home faster.
Chen Vain came to the village.
It's scared to death.
How did Mrs. Chen know about this?
After telling the people in the village that their family was going to hold a full moon feast, she turned around and took a dozen duck eggs to Lizheng's house.
Mrs. Yang, Lizheng's daughter-in-law, saw Mrs. Chen coming, and hurriedly invited her to sit in the house.
Mrs. Chen said, "The ducks at home have laid a few eggs, and I will send you a few to taste." ”
"Oh, that's embarrassing." Mrs. Yang said.
Mrs. Chen said: "Don't hide it from your aunt, my eldest girl is about to have a full moon, and we are going to hold a full moon banquet, and Uncle Yang has to help arrange it." ”
"Oh, everyone is a villager, and it's right to help each other, so don't worry." Mrs. Yang said with a smile.
Can you be upset that someone has sent something?
Li Zheng heard Mrs. Chen talking in the house, and also came out, and asked, "Your family is going to hold a full moon banquet?" ”
"That's right."
"You don't have to worry about the manpower, but those who don't go over to help have to take care of the food, this is the rule of Hehuan Yang." Rizheng said.
Mrs. Chen said: "That's natural, our family doesn't have any relatives, all the relatives are Hehuan Yang's people, and the people in our village are also entertaining people who hold the full moon banquet." ”
Rizheng nodded, expressing satisfaction.
However, it is really rare to give birth to a girl to hold a full moon banquet.
It's not completely nothing, some are those landlords' families, big families.
Generally, small doors and small households can be saved.
Mrs. Yang invited Mrs. Chen to sit in the house.
Mrs. Chen said: "I won't go in to sit, my daughter-in-law is in confinement, and I am busy with family affairs, so I can't delay here." ”
She was about to say goodbye, and Mrs. Yang sent her out.
She said, "Auntie, you can stay, you don't have to send me." ”
Mrs. Chen pressed Mrs. Yang and went home.
Mrs. Yang said to Li Zheng: "It has not been easy for the Chen family these years, and when Daddy Dashan was still there, he didn't help us less. ”
Mrs. Yang meant to help arrange manpower.
Li Zheng hummed and did not object.
It is indeed not easy for a widow to carry a posthumous child.
A few years ago, the Laipi dog in the village wanted to take advantage of her, and the Chen family also began to be spicy from that time.
The noisy whole Acacia Yang is restless.
