"It's another girl!"

Chen Fengshi stuffed the newborn baby in his hand into Er'er's hand in disgust, snorted, and turned around to leave the house.

When I went to the stove room, I saw two bowls of brown sugar poached eggs on the stove, and I was angry.

picked up a bowl and poured it into the pot, and said to the eldest daughter-in-law: "Serve the sugar water egg to your fourth aunt first, your second brother and sister can't eat it for the time being, wait until she is hungry." In the pot, add some water and boil, and give Brother Qi'er Song'er a few points. ”

"Yes, mother." Zhao was delighted, and hurriedly picked up a bowl of sugar water eggs and went to the second room.

Lifting the curtain, I caught a glimpse of the second uncle standing at the door of the room, holding the newborn girl in his hand, his face was obscure.

Handing the sugar water egg in his hand to the midwife who was sorting out the medicine box, Zhao said, "Fourth aunt, you eat the mouth cushion first." ”

Aunt Wu was not polite, took the soup bowl and snorted and ate six poached eggs, and drank the brown sugar water in one go.

Wiping his mouth, he got up and lifted the small medicine box, and said, "I'll go back now." Wait a minute, let your three brothers and sisters rub their stomachs more, drain the lochia, and call me if you have anything, it's not far anyway. ”

Zhao hurriedly said: "Okay, it's hard work for the fourth aunt, I'll ask Da Lang to send you away." ”

"Hmm." Aunt Wu put the medicine box on her back, glanced meaningfully at the stunned Chen Erlang, and went out with the Zhao family.

The woman lying on the kang turned her head, pulled up the quilt to cover her face, and began to cry.

The man holding the little swaddling clothes pursed his lips, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.

He already has two daughters, but he didn't expect this baby to be a girl again, which made Chen Changping both angry and ashamed.

Thinking of his three brothers, the eldest brother already has two sons, and even the third brother who just got married last year also gave birth to a son, who prefers his own house, and the three children are all girls.

No, it's fourth.

The baby died shortly after birth more than a year ago, and it was also a daughter.

Chen Changping only felt that his brain was buzzing, and he was embarrassed.

As the saying goes, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater.

Is his second room going to be the end?

Thinking that he might suffer from the strange eyes of his relatives and friends, his father and mother openly and secretly pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and all kinds of gossip, Chen Changping suddenly felt that his blood was flowing backwards.

Looking at the baby in his hand again, his eyes were full of disgust.

He turned around and walked out of the house.

At this time, the sunset was all over the sky, and there were only a few pedestrians on the road.

Chen Changping put the little swaddling clothes in his wide sleeves and walked quickly to the back mountain.

The baby in the sleeve twisted his little head, squirmed his little mouth twice, and fell asleep quietly again.

After standing by the grave for a while, I still felt that this place was too close to the side of the mountain road and not hidden enough.

It would not be good if this little evil animal was picked up by a passing villager and then carried back to the village to spread the word.

His wife had just given birth, and it was easy to guess that his family had lost it.

After thinking about it, Chen Changping walked dozens of steps inside before taking out the swaddling clothes and putting them in the thatch.

He stood for a moment, shook his palm, and finally didn't dare to strangle the baby girl to death.

Forget it, maybe she will be taken away by a wild wolf overnight, but she doesn't have to bear the debt of killing a woman.

Looking around, seeing that there was no one around, Chen Changping turned around and went down the mountain, walking in a hurry.

…

In the late spring, the wild peaches in the mountains fade and bloom, and hang small plush fruits.

The wild cherries have long been ripe, dripping and hanging on the treetops, red, yellow and yellow, which is particularly coveted.

In Dongchen Village, by the Xiaochuan River, several women are beating clothes and washing vegetables.

"Did you hear, yesterday Jiang Saburo's family picked up a female doll, and I don't know which family lost it, tsk, the umbilical cord hasn't been taken off yet."

"Really? Second aunt, have you seen it with your own eyes? A woman seemed to disbelieve, "Who will lose the baby in these years?" "It's not a famine year that can't be fed.

"Is that still fake? I went to his house this morning to borrow a bucket and saw it with my own eyes. "Aunt Wang wrung out the clothes in her hand and threw them into the basket." The doll's face was red and swollen, and it was said that it had been bitten by ants. ”

"Oh, what a sin." Another woman held out her head and asked, "Where did you pick it up?" ”

"I don't know, Jiang Saburo's family refuses to talk about it." Aunt Wang looked left and right, and said with a gossip on her face: "The left is not more than a few nearby villages." I don't know who is so lacking in morality. ”

"Not really!"

Several women ping-pong and pounding their clothes.

"It's not from our village anyway. There are about 20 households in our village, and anyone knows about anyone's mother-in-law's fart, let alone giving birth to a baby. "A woman.

The crowd laughed.

"Our village is not so ruthless."

Second Aunt Wang pouted: "It's a pity that it's a female baby, if it's a male baby, Xu Chunniang will be light." ”

Jiang Sanlang has been married for ten years, and his daughter-in-law Xu Chunniang didn't even lay an egg, and Jiang Lao Niang was almost angry to death because of this.

Several women glanced at each other and smiled silently, "It's miles, it's miles." ”

"It's also thanks to Jiang Saburo's benevolence and righteousness, he hasn't divorced his wife for so many years."

"That's it, if I put my family aside, I may be scolded all day long, let alone ten years, or I will take a break if I don't conceive her for three years."

"Not really." The crowd agreed.

A woman knocked on the beating stick and said: "Hey, it's also Chun Niang's good life, marrying a husband who will hurt people, if it weren't for Jiang Sanlang's protection, you would be Jiang Lao Niang?" ”

"Yes, it's a pity that Jiang Saburo is a talent, who can be civil and martial, tsk, I'm afraid he will be the last in the future." Another sighed.

"Who's to say it isn't."

The women sighed, for a while Jiang Saburo was not worth it, and for a while they envied Xu's good life, and married a handsome husband who would hurt people.

When I think of the stuff in my house with a scruffy beard and a stinky sweat, I suddenly can't do it.

"The girl is just right."

A woman twisted her clothes and said: "There is a saying, hold the child and get a child, this female doll may attract a big fat boy to Jiang Sanlang." ”

"Not necessarily." A woman retorted.

"Why not? Isn't it Xicun Chen's second dog family, the daughter-in-law has not moved for three years, and his mother brought back a female baby from outside for them to raise, and guess what, the second dog daughter-in-law was pregnant in less than two years. ”

"Yes, yes, I've heard about it, and it's really like that."

"So, maybe that baby was picked up by Jiang Saburo from somewhere else, and he deliberately said that he picked it up, just because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to attract children in the future and be laughed at."

"Hahaha, yes ...... too"

Several women giggled and gossiped, washed their clothes, and went home with baskets.

Dongchen Village, Jiang's three-room.

Jiang Saburo entered the house with a bowl of goat's milk and said to his daughter-in-law: "Yesterday, the eldest brother's sheep gave birth, so I milked some milk, and then boiled it and fed it to the doll." ”

"Yo, that's too much of a coincidence."

Xu Chunniang was pleasantly surprised, "Now the doll has milk to drink." ”

I was worried about what to feed the child, but I didn't expect the ewe that the eldest brother bought a few years ago actually gave birth to cubs.

Put the swaddling clothes in her hand on the bed, cover the thin quilt, roll up her sleeves to take the bowl, and say to her husband: "I'll cook it, you come to see the baby, she cried so fiercely just now." ”

Jiang Saburo handed the pottery bowl to his wife, stretched out his head to look at the little baby on the bed, and the more he looked at it, the more he loved it, "Xu is hungry, and I drank some sugar water from yesterday to today." ”

The little baby on the bed opened his eyes slightly, and suddenly grinned at him.

"Yo, the little girl will laugh." Jiang Saburo was pleasantly surprised, touched his stubble, and said proudly: "Our daughter recognizes her father." ”

"It's all nonsense." Xu Chunniang glanced at him with disgust, "How old is she, how can she recognize you?" ”

Jiang Saburo smiled, "That's hard to say, our daughter is smart, she didn't cry when I picked her up yesterday, she just cried vigorously, as if she was wronged." ”

As soon as he remembered the ants on his little girl's face at that time, Jiang Saburo twitched in distress, reached out to touch her head, and sighed.

I don't know who is so ruthless and throws the newborn baby into the grave, this is not to let her live.

If it weren't for the fact that I happened to pass by and heard the cry of a child in the cemetery, I boldly went to check it, and after a day and a half, the child would have been bitten by snakes, rats and ants.

Alas, if you don't want to raise it, you can give it away, why do you want to take her life?

"It's okay, you will be my Jiang San's daughter in the future."

Jiang Saburo picked up the doll and turned it upside down, tightly protecting it on his chest. "As long as I have a bite to eat, I will never starve you."
