Chapter 9 Dividing the Fish
Looking at the villagers with different expressions, the old lady Bai fell into deep thought.
The old Bai family is lucky, and the people in the village talk about auspicious words casually, but the old lady Bai is happy to listen.
But the more the story spread, the more evil it became, and she was a little frightened.
She passed through the village today, and the discussion of the gossip army at the head of the village reached her ears, and even the queen mother pulled out. Originally, she didn't pay attention to it, just laughing, but as soon as the fish fishing incident came out, it turned sour.
For Mrs. Bai, if she can catch a big fish at home, she would rather believe that it was the female doll's dead mother who came to repay the adoption, rather than believe that it was the female doll that brought good luck to the old Bai family.
She didn't believe a word of the words of the people on the foot of the slope.
This is life, not a script.
"Aunt Bai, when will your little Fuxing's granddaughter be brought out to show the big guy?"
"Is Xiao Fuxing short of godmothers? Recognize me as a godmother, and let our family be blessed. β
"What do you think, you might as well kneel down and recognize Aunt Bai as your godmother and become the daughter of the Bai family."
β¦β¦
The courtyard was full of excitement and laughter.
Finally, Mrs. Bai waved her hand to interrupt everyone.
"My son has a new daughter, which is a big joy for the old Bai family, and it stands to reason that I should send some red eggs to everyone to rejoice. I didn't buy eggs when it was cold, and I just caught these buckets of fish at home, and each family was divided into a happy one, so don't dislike it. β
The custom of Shenshu Village, the child is born to send red eggs to the neighbors, and the old lady Bai thinks that the old Bai family has no eggs, so it is better to send fish, and it should be a blessing for the freshly baked little granddaughter.
Besides, the old Bai family has caught so many fish, it is inevitable that there will be those red eyes in the village, and if it is bad, it will be bad, it is better to use fish to block the bad heart.
I heard that there was fish to eat.
The onlookers were boiling again, praising the old Bai family for his kindness.
"Emma, this is the House of Fortune!"
"The old Bai family can, I think about the villagers before I send it."
"Such a kind old Bai family should send it, and work hard."
β¦β¦
The auspicious words are like no money, and they are scattered into the courtyard of the old Bai family.
The old lady Bai happily commanded Bai Muban and her grandchildren and daughters-in-law to share the fish with everyone.
One by one, the fish were handed to the onlookers.
The villagers who got the fish were happy to see their teeth and eyes.
Such a big fish, weighing several pounds, is enough for a family to fight tooth sacrifices.
"Everyone, I have one more thing to ask you, old woman. My little granddaughter is a country girl, so don't talk about blessings or not. We are not all living these days, how can we believe the words of the monk and Taoist. β
The old lady Bai folded her hands and asked everyone with a smile.
Low profile! The old Bai family wants to keep a low profile!
The villagers had expressions that we all understood, and their mouths all agreed.
You Jingui saw the big fish given to the villagers for nothing, and his heart trembled and hurt.
How much money is that?
"Sister-in-law, is the milk confused, this fish is just given away for nothing? Isn't it good to keep our family to sell the silver? Let's hurry up and persuade the milk. Eugene Gui pulled Xie Chuntao and whispered.
"Our sister-in-law has been added, what's wrong with sending some fish out? Milk is happy, we should be happy too. Xie Chuntao said.
Hmph, you'll curry favor in front of your elders!
Eugene Gui was dissatisfied with Xie Chuntao's follow.
"The family is so poor, and when you catch fish, you don't talk about exchanging it for silver, but you have a swollen face and become fat."
"Brother and sister, you said this. Everyone is a villager, and they usually help us, but now that our family has so many fish, we naturally have to share it with everyone. β
Xie Chuntao looked at You Jingui puzzled, paused, and continued: "Brother and sister are pregnant, don't worry about it. Today is a day of great joy, and we are all happy. β
I'm glad you're a ghost!
Okay, you Xie Chuntao, what kind of sister-in-law stand in front of me, when I give birth to a daughter, I have to overpower you. Eugene Gui touched his stomach, as if injecting a wave of strength.
Okay, isn't it a fish delivery?
Fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsidersββ
"Sixth sister, you can bring these two big ones back to your mother." You Jingui angrily scooped up the two largest carps and handed them to You Qingya.
Most of the villagers in Shenshu Village are simple and hanging, knowing that the old Bai family has always had a hard time, and they can't take other people's fish for nothing, and they have to send some blessings if they just got a little girl.
After the villagers returned with the fish, some took out rice and noodles, some carried grain and oil, some cut vegetables, and some held eggs...... Give it back to the old Bai family.
You come and go, the crowd disperses, and only your own family is left in the Bai family's courtyard.
Old Lady Bai began to direct the family to get busy.
"This big red carp is a spiritual one. Da Zhuang, you put it back into the river. β
Mrs. Bai deliberately put the red carp in a wooden basin alone, this fish is the same as the carp on the New Year's painting, and it is better to release it if you kill it.
"Holo." Bai Dazhuang took the wooden basin and released it.
Old Lady Bai continued to make arrangements.
"Chun Tao, you pack up a few fish, let's stew fish at noon."
"Okay." Xie Chuntao went to the kitchen to find a knife, and Huo Huo aimed at the largest one to break the chamber first.
"Da Zhuang Dad, there are endless fish left, you drive Ming'er to the town to sell them and buy a milk sheep for your granddaughter."
Bai Muban came out of the house and said, "I don't have to wait for tomorrow to go to the town, I will go to Da Li Zhuang next door to exchange fish for sheep while it is still early." β
Mrs. Bai acquiesced in her son's approach, and every family in Da Li Zhuang raised sheep. The little granddaughter's milk can't be weaned, so she changes it early and eats it early.
"Da Lang, you go to the house and bring your father's jacket to your father, the road is cold, put on more jackets." Xie Chuntao heard that her father-in-law was going to Da Li Zhuang, so she asked her son Da Lang to go to the house to get a jacket to keep her father-in-law warm on the road.
Mrs. Bai was very satisfied with the filial piety of her eldest grandson's daughter-in-law.
Eugene Gui stood under the eaves with his hands copied, pouting at Xie Chuntao, secretly scolding the sycophants in his heart, and going up to the pole to please the elders.
The eldest granddaughter-in-law is busy, but what about the second granddaughter-in-law? Where to hide?
The old lady turned her head and caught Eugene Gui, who had time to retract her pouting in the future, and pierced her eyes like a knife.
"Jin Gui, your sister-in-law is busy, so you just stand there and watch?" Old Lady Bai asked angrily.
"Milk, I don't have a body......"
"What daughter-in-law has never conceived a child? It's like you're talking about it like a talisman every day. β
Eugene Gui was scolded by Mrs. Bai, and she was angry in her heart. If she wants to put it aside, she won't be silent, after all, the old lady Bai in this family is the biggest talker.
But now, she has a body, and she has a hunch that she must be a girl. Eugene Gui touched her belly, and her daughter gave her courage.
"Milk, it's not that I don't want to work, it's that my daughter is delicate and doesn't let me work."
Eugene Gui straightened his flat stomach with confidence.
Old Lady Bai's eyes fell on Eugene Gui's stomach and sneered: "Did you let you do heavy work?" Can you tire you by handing your sister-in-law a scoop bowl of water? If you really want to give birth to a daughter, I will go down and ask the ancestors and ancestors to ask for a seal for you, depending on whether you have that blessing. β
What does it mean?
Look down on her Eugene Gui's belly?
The old immortal is ruthless when he stirs up people.
Eugene Gui was so angry that he had a heart attack, and turned around and entered his own room.
There are so many people in the family, why can't she be missing? The more she was asked to work, the more she didn't do it.
She carries the daughter of the old Bai family in her belly, and her mother is more expensive than her daughter. The mother-in-law gave birth to a daughter, and she hid in the house and didn't show it, she was a daughter-in-law, and she didn't put it too much.
In fact, the farmer's daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child, and she is not qualified to be squeamish.
I still cook and wash clothes with my stomach on the fire.
Some women even give birth to children, and before they can get out of confinement, they have to work in the fields.
However, the Lao Bai family is different, although they are poor, they never treat their daughter-in-law harshly.
The daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child, so she tries to let her rest.
Therefore, Eugene Gui was lazy and shook his face, and the old lady Bai was not very angry after stabbing a few words.
Mrs. Bai just felt that the family was so busy, it was not too much for Eugene Gui to burn the firewood. It's just her, she plays music at every turn, and pushes any work to Xie Chuntao. If you don't kill Eugene Gui's temperament, you may have to ride on the heads of the Bai family.
"Milk, just let my brother and sister rest, I'll just do this idea."
Xie Chuntao felt that the family had just gotten the happy event of a sister-in-law, and the old and the young were not good at making trouble because of their work.
"Mother, I'll light the fire." Zhen heard that his daughter-in-law and mother-in-law were arguing, and came out to take the initiative to take the job.
"No, you can stay in the house with the children." Old Lady Bai waved her hand and said with a look of disgust, "I'm afraid you ordered the kitchen." β
Xie Chuntao saw her mother-in-law enter the house with an embarrassed face. She has always thought it was strange that her mother-in-law was good at everything, but she didn't know how to cook on the fire, and she couldn't do farm work in the field. She couldn't figure out how a country woman couldn't do such a simple job, so she could only attribute it to her mother-in-law's life of not working.
"Milk, you can rest after you've been busy for most of the day." Xie Chuntao said to Mrs. Bai.
"I'm not tired." The old lady Bai went to the firewood room to hold firewood.
"Da Lang, you come to help my mother cook the pot."
"Okay, mother."
Da Lang is very obedient, and he usually knows that he takes the initiative to help the family, and Xie Chuntao drills into the kitchen as soon as he is instructed.
"Fifth brother, you help your sister-in-law carry water." Xie Chuntao instructed Bai Zhaomei again.
"Okay, sister-in-law."
Bai Zhaomei nodded, and picked up two buckets of water from the yard to play.
Bai Saburo was young, and when he saw that everyone was working, he couldn't fall behind, shaking his little short legs to help Mrs. Bai smoke firewood.
The Bai family is in full swing.
Smoke rises from the kitchen and the smell of fish stew wafts out.
