At noon, the sun was fierce and scorched the earth, the fields dried up, and the family did not go to work, and they could not stand the heat in their thatched huts.

The four sons are all cutting bamboo, preparing to rebuild the yard fence, plant a bunch of climbing vines, and fence the yard to make the privacy more beautiful.

Meng Ran sat in the house and was so hot that he kept wiping his sweat, and he could still wear short shirts in the village in summer, and many people in the town wore long sleeves, and he didn't know how the ancients survived.

I miss the fan air conditioner and want the cold air, and the bursts of hot air hit, and everyone is steamed.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, is the little dress made of breathable fabric ready?"

Liu Li hurriedly responded: "Mother, it's done, I'll take it to wash and dry, the clothes are softer and more comfortable to wear." ”

"Well done!" Meng Ran applauded.

The other three daughters-in-law were all sewing and mending clothes, and the peasant households were reluctant to buy clothes all year round, and the coarsest linen cloth was dozens of cents, so they could only sew and mend for another three years.

Looking at the remaining three hundred wen in the money jar, Meng Ran was heartbroken, and counted out one hundred wen to buy coarse grain, the food bags in her room were already empty, and she had no choice but to go to the town to buy grain.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the water in the wells has become much less, the summer grain has not yet come down, and I don't know how much I can save by removing all kinds of taxes on the fields.

Liu Wu sewed clothes with his stomach in the room, sewed halfway, and poked the needle directly into his fingers, bleeding instantly.

His head was constantly sweating, holding his stomach, and he was uncomfortable leaning against the wall and going out of the house, shouting: "Fourth brother, I'm going to give birth, call my mother over!" ”

Liu Laosi threw away the bamboo in a panic, hurriedly stepped forward to support his daughter-in-law, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Mother, the peach blossom is about to be born!" Come and check it out! ”

When Meng Ran heard this, he hurriedly kicked his shoes and ran over.

Seeing the sweaty fourth daughter-in-law, he ordered: "Fourth, you help the peach blossoms to walk around more, and you will have a good life." ”

"The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, hurry up and boil water for me, cook a bowl of gnocchi, and lay an egg!"

"The third daughter-in-law, you go to ask Aunt Zhu in the village for me and ask her to come over to help."

When the third daughter-in-law heard this, she couldn't help but complain, muttering: "If no one can't have children, won't she give birth at home?" Where do you need to go out and hire someone, isn't it a waste of money? ”

"I'll go when I tell you to! What a lot of! Meng Ran couldn't get used to her appearance, and said.

The third daughter-in-law was frightened: "Mother, I'll go immediately!" They'll bring you back right away! ”

After saying that, she slipped away and didn't stay at home to be an eyesore, so as not to be disgusted.

After a while, Aunt Zhu, a well-known midwife in Shili Eight Villages, invited her over.

The original body can also deliver babies, but they are not very familiar, just in case, Meng Ran still decided to pay for a midwife, at most ten copper plates, she can still accept it.

Aunt Zhu was wearing a dark green shirt on her upper body, gray pants on her lower body, and a wooden hairpin on her head, and asked lightly: "Mrs. Meng, are you ready?" ”

"It's all ready, excuse me!"

Aunt Zhu responded coldly and went directly into the production room.

After the mother has eaten, she begins to prepare for childbirth.

"Take it easy, take a deep breath, listen to me, tell you to contribute and contribute, you are the second child, it must be much easier than the first child."

Meng Ran and the fourth child were anxiously guarding outside the house, and couldn't help but walk around, waiting for the fourth daughter-in-law inside to give birth.

The rest of the daughters-in-law watched their mother-in-law standing outside the house waiting, and secretly looked at their stomachs sadly, and could only blame themselves for not being angry and not being able to give birth to a son.

The husband is not satisfied, they can't stand at home, so they can only look at the eyes of their mother-in-law, otherwise...... There was a rebellion a long time ago.

The other three brothers looked at the fourth brother enviously, he had a son anyway, unlike them, they were all daughters.

The two quarters of an hour I had been waiting for, it was a sunny day, and suddenly the wind and clouds changed, and big dark clouds floated over, visible to the naked eye, and the sky gradually darkened, and it didn't take long for the sky to be overcast.

In an instant, the wind was fierce, and a little raindrop fell from the sky, which was the prelude to a heavy rainstorm.

Looking at the vision in front of him, Meng Ran did not panic at all, but became more and more excited, because in the book, it is described that the koi cub was born and nectar fell from the sky!

"It's going to rain heavily, hurry up and collect your things!" Meng Ran urged.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and inside the house, a baby's cry sounded!

Liu Laosi knocked on the door, and when he entered, he heard Aunt Zhu's congratulatory voice: "Born born, congratulations to Liu Laosi, happy daughter!"

Liu Laosi felt a little pity, this time it was not his son, but he was about to reach out to take the baby.

Meng Ran directly squeezed the fourth child away, stepped forward and rushed to pick up the baby, "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Zhu!" ”

After speaking, he presented ten copper plates.

Aunt Zhu was quite surprised, she didn't expect to give birth to a daughter, and she could earn copper plates from Mrs. Meng, who picked the door, and it was good to be able to give two eggs.

It's best to have copper money, Aunt Zhu instantly smiled in her eyes, took the money, and said: "This baby is also a good blessing, born with heavy rain, don't worry about eating and drinking!" ”

"That's that, Aunt Zhu, it's raining outside, you rest with me first, and I'll ask Wa's father to send you back later."

"Done!" Aunt Zhu responded.

Meng Ran took a closer look at the baby in his arms, worthy of being a koi cub, white and tender, with good skin, very good-looking facial features, delicate eyebrows and eyes, small mouth, and it hasn't grown yet, it's like this, and when it grows, isn't it a big beauty.

This koi cub can't be sure, or if it's a fairy descending to earth, Meng Ran sighed in his heart.

Now that she has passed through, then she will not let the koi cubs be sold and left behind.

Liu Lao's fourth daughter-in-law, that is, Liu Wu's lying on the bed was weak and weak, sweating all her hair, and she accidentally saw Xianggong's performance just now, and her heart was panicked.

Seeing her mother-in-law holding the baby with a happy face, she was instantly moved, thinking that the luckiest thing in her life was to marry into Lao Liu's family and meet such a mother-in-law.

After all, this mother-in-law is torturing people, and she is also tormenting outsiders, and she is still quite tolerant of her daughter-in-law.

Of course, this may only be the fourth daughter-in-law who thinks so, and the other three daughters-in-law may not.

"Fourth daughter-in-law, it's really hard for you." Meng Ran said with a smile.

This koi cub was born to her belly, which proved to be her blessing, so this fourth daughter-in-law can also be said to be the future hero of the old Liu family.

"Mother, it's not hard, it's a pity, this time I couldn't add another grandson to the old Liu family."

Meng Ran said nonchalantly: "Isn't there already one?" That's enough. ”

"Look at how beautiful and likable this girl you gave birth to."
