Zhang endured the abdominal pain, held Liu Guiyuan who was fished up from the river in his arms, and moved his steps home step by step.

Zhang, who has given birth to three children, is very familiar with this kind of throbbing pain, and she estimated that she had just gone down to the river and dipped in cold water, and she was going to start it in advance.

The two sisters, who had just come back from playing pigweed, saw that there was no one in the house, so they went out to look for it, and happened to bump into Zhang's who was walking heavily.

The eldest Liu Hongzao took Liu Guiyuan in Zhang's arms, and the second Liu Huahua helped Zhang to walk forward, and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with Guiyuan?" ”

Zhang's painful legs couldn't stand straight, his whole body leaned on Liu Huahua's body, and said in a dumb voice: "Guiyuan fell into the water, just rescued, I'm afraid I'm going to give birth, go to the field and call your father." ”

"Hey, let's go."

Liu Hongjube hurriedly went to probe Liu Guiyuan's breath, but he couldn't detect anything except his cool nose, and he immediately ran out in a hurry.

Half an hour later, outside the closed wooden door of Liu's house, Liu Chongshan, who had rushed back from the field, was still holding a hoe in his hand, his face was full of anxiety, and he was still muttering something.

"God bless, this baby is a kid, I Liu Chongshan can't live without a ......"

Liu Hongjube was about to send a basin of hot water to the house, and just as he was about to knock on the door, there was a cry of "giving birth" from the house, and a faint baby cry sounded at the same time.

"Is it a boy?" Liu Chongshan was excited, lying on the crack in the door and looking inside.

"It's another girl!" Liu Yao shouted angrily, looking at the thin girl in his hand who was born prematurely, and couldn't help but itch his teeth with hatred.

"Alas, what's the matter!" When Liu Chongshan heard that it was a girl, he was like a deflated ball, squatting on the ground and holding his head and sighing.

After a while, the door opened, Liu Yao came out of it with his hands behind his back and a tense face, and saw the eldest granddaughter standing on the side, and he was angry: "Don't you go in to take care of your mother, you gave birth to a girl, and you still expect me to serve her?" ”

Liu Hongzao lowered her head and didn't speak, and entered the house lightly with hot water, not forgetting to turn around and close the door, and then quickly cleaned up the messy house.

When Zhang gave birth to her third sister, she already remembered that the woman who had just given birth could not see the wind or get cold water.

"How's Guiyuan, are you awake?" Zhang still remembered the unconscious third daughter at this time, so he asked the eldest daughter weakly.

"Mother, don't worry, Longan has peanuts to take care of." Liu Hongzao didn't dare to tell the Zhang family that the third sister was still unconscious, for fear that she would cry something during pregnancy.

Before, she went out to call people, and happened to meet the fourth grandmother who lived next door, and when she heard that Guiyuan had fallen into the water, she took the initiative to help the third sister drain the stagnant water in her abdomen, and now she is still in a coma, and she doesn't know if she can survive this hurdle.

Outside the door, Liu Yao's face, who was full of fear, was facing his eldest son Liu Chongshan's ear: "Little girl, I don't cry when I am born, I don't know how many beatings, and I was born prematurely, it is estimated that I can't live, it's better to drown, and the province is the same as the third child, I am a fool, and I don't have to waste food." ”

The third child in Liu Yao's mouth is Liu Guiyuan, who has been raised since he was born to be more than seven years old, except for being able to eat and call his mother, he doesn't know anything, and he is recognized as a fool by the villagers.

Liu Chongshan was a little reluctant, no matter how bad the girl was, it was her own blood and bones, so she whispered: "Xiangxue is unwilling, she is reluctant to throw it away from the third child, let alone the fourth child." ”

Xiangxue is Zhang's maiden name, although Zhang gave birth to a fool who doesn't even know, but he still looks like his own eyeballs.

Three years ago, after confirming that Liu Guiyuan was a fool, Liu Yao put her in a sack in a fit of anger and threw her into the mountains at the back of the village, almost killing her by wolves.

Fortunately, Zhang found out in time, and ran to the mountains crying and shouting all the way, snatching Liu Guiyuan, who was crying, back from the wolf's mouth.

It's okay not to mention this, but when he mentioned this, Liu Yao's liver hurt, and he pointed at Liu Chongshan and scolded: "Who am I throwing the child for?" It's not for you, your family has mountains of gold and silver, and you have three or four girls......"

Because of the matter of throwing the child, Zhang, who has always been cowardly, actually proposed to divide the family, if she didn't split, she would take the child and die in front of her.

As a last resort, Liu Yao's family divided the family angrily, the second Liu Chonglin's family got ten acres of land, the third Liu Chonghe got eleven acres of land, and the eldest family only got four and a half acres.

People in the village said that Liu Yao's family was partial, and even Liu Chongshan was not comfortable, but the old lady's sentence "Whoever called everyone gave birth to a son" instantly made Liu Chongshan lose his temper.

Not having a son is Liu Chongshan's biggest weakness.

Liu Yao scolded Da'er a few words, and then began to complain that Zhang's stomach was not angry, and he was born a girl, and he didn't even see a son.

Liu Chongshan hung his head and didn't say a word.

"Forget it, I can't manage your family's affairs for a long time, and I don't dare to take care of it." Liu Yao scolded and got out of his evil spirit, and walked home slowly, not forgetting to go to the chicken coop and touch two freshly laid eggs to take away.

Liu Chongshan politely sent the old lady away, and was about to go to the house to see the child, when he suddenly heard the exclamation of the second daughter in the side room.

"Dad, mother, sister, come and see, Gui Yuan is awake!"

Liu Huahua has been staying in the side room to take care of the third sister, remembering what the fourth grandmother said, if Guiyuan doesn't wake up until night, it is hopeless, and she can't help crying with worry.

Who knew that as soon as he turned around, he saw the third sister Liu Guiyuan looking at her with a pair of black eyes like grapes.

"Where am I? Who are you? ”

Liu Dan remembered that he was still in the water to save people a moment ago, because the child struggled vigorously, causing him to fall into the water and suffocate from exhaustion, but when he opened his eyes, he was lying in a strange place.

A teenage girl in front of her, with short hair hanging down and wearing shabby clothes, looked at her in surprise and shouted: "Dad, eldest sister, Guiyuan is fine, Guiyuan is not stupid." ”

Longan? What longan? Liu Dan turned his head to think, but his brain was empty, and he couldn't think of anything, but he inexplicably felt intimate with the word "longan".

"Guiyuan, I'm your second sister, this is the eldest sister, this is our father, you shout and we'll listen." Liu Huaan's face was incredulous, but looking at the third sister's different Qingming eyes from before, he became more and more convinced that Gui Yuan was sober.

Under the expectant gaze of the other party, Liu Dan stubbornly shouted "father", "eldest sister", "second sister" and other titles, and immediately received a response from the three people.

"I didn't expect the third child to fall into the water, and he was cured of a stupid disease!" Liu Chongshan clapped his hands happily, and was about to share the good news with Zhang.

"Good sister, you're good, my mother can't help but suffer a lot of ...... for you"

"Good longan, call the eldest sister a few more times, okay......"

The two of you said a word, and Liu Dan quickly recognized a fact: she crossed because she fell into the water, and wore it on Liu Guiyuan, a female baby who also fell into the water in ancient times.

Liu Dan also learned that this Liu Guiyuan is seven and a half years old this year, and she has been a fool since she was born.

Poor Zhang's motherly heart, in order to save his stupid daughter, he even went down to the river to wade in spite of his seven-month-old body, and finally the stupid daughter lost her life and gave birth prematurely.

Liu Dan thought of his mother from Zhang, and when she thought that she didn't know how to grieve after learning the news of her death, Liu Dan's heart ached.

Fortunately, this mood was unexpectedly relieved after seeing Zhang himself.

In the inner room, Liu Dan stared at Zhang without blinking, this person looked too similar to his own mother, his eyebrows, eyes, nose and even a mole on his lips were exactly the same.

Could it be that this is my mother's past life? She has been her daughter for both lives?

Thinking of this, Liu Dan's nose was sour, and she sincerely called out the "mother" she thought she would respond to, and then threw herself into the other party's arms and sniffed her unique fragrance.

From today on, she is Zhang's biological daughter Liu Guiyuan.

Mom, you are living well in modern times, and your daughter can't go back, so she can only honor you in this time and space for the time being.

"Good boy, as long as you are good, you can do whatever your mother does." Zhang did not regret at all that he was born prematurely in order to save his daughter, and Gui Yuan was no longer stupid this time because of the blessing of misfortune, and it was even more unexpected.

It's just that some people can't bear the newborn little daughter, because they went down into the icy river, causing her to be born early before full-term.

Zhang hugged Liu Guiyuan for a while, then told her to get up, and turned to hug the newborn daughter, the child was quiet after birth, and the crying was weak, Zhang was afraid that there was something wrong with the child.

"Okay, what are you doing in this room? Think it's a big place in the house? There's no one doing a bunch of work outside, and you can't see it in your eyes? Liu Chongshan walked in from outside, still carrying an empty dung basket in his hand, and his face was obviously not good.

Just now, he put the filth discharged by Zhang's production in a dung basket, carried it to the bottom of the hillside west of the village and buried it, and bumped into Liu Xiaobian from the same village on the way back.

When he was young, he had some problems with Liu Xiaobian, and he did everything better, more beautiful than whoever married his daughter-in-law, who gave more grain every year, who could give birth to children, and who gave birth to more children.

In the first year, the girls born to both families did not distinguish between the winners and losers, but after a few years, Liu Xiaobian's daughter-in-law gave birth to a pair of twin boys, but her daughter-in-law gave birth to a girl who slipped away.

Liu Hongzao heard Liu Chongshan get angry, and the originally smiling little face immediately wilted, yes, although it is not stupid to fight longan today, but it is the little sister who was born this time on the mother's side, how can my father be happy.

"Dad, my eldest sister and I went out to clean up, you rest first." Liu Huaanhua saw that his father's face was not a good color, so he quickly pulled Gui Yuan and motioned for her to go out.

Liu Huahua took Liu Guiyuan outside and told a few words, to the effect that when he sees his father in the future, he should be diligent and less angry.

"She's just right, where do she know so much, and she has to teach a lot of things slowly." Liu Hongjube took out a bowl of boiled poached eggs out of nowhere and carefully handed it to her, afraid that she wouldn't eat it, so he personally scooped it up and fed her.

"My mother asked me to cook it for you, and she said that you fell into the water today, and you must eat a bowl of supplements."

It is said that there is only one boiled egg in a bowl, but there is no way, there are three chickens at home, and one has rested, and the eggs saved have to be left for Zhang's confinement to eat, which is not enough.

"What's boiling in the pot?" Liu Huaanhua smelled the aroma of boiled eggs, her stomach gurgled, and she ate half a cake in the morning and stayed up to now.

"The cooked maize porridge is thicker than usual, you go eat it, don't forget to put two bowls and send it to your parents." Liu Hongzao saw that Longan had eaten poached eggs, sent her to the bed in the side room, and went out to clean up with the empty bowl.

Liu Dan, who had just passed through, to be exact, should be Liu Guiyuan after "waking up", lying on the bed half hungry, thinking about the family's situation and how to live in the future, and slowly fell asleep.
