Chapter 9: Her Fortune Prevents a Doom
The four of Song Lao are tall and have a lot of strength, and they have also hunted wild boars with the villagers. But it was the first time to face a wild boar alone. Although I was stunned in my heart, I couldn't retreat. Because behind him are the old lady and daughter whom he sacrificed his life to protect!
Song Laosi raised the stick in his hand high......
The little milk baby in Mrs. Wu's arms clenched her fists nervously......
The stick slammed into the boar's head, breaking in half. The wild boar is unabated, its scarlet eyes are full of mania, and Bai Sensen's fangs are chilling. Seeing that, the wild boar was about to crash into Song Laosi. Mrs. Wu's voice changed: "Fourth, get out of the way!" ”
Song Laosi threw away half of the stick in his hand, pounced on the side, and rolled a few times in a row to avoid the wild boar. If the wild boar pursues him, the unarmed Song Lao Si Tie will definitely suffer!
Suddenly, the wild boar, which turned its head and ran towards him, as if drunk, hit his head on a large rock next to him and kicked his leg several times...... Don't move!
"Old ...... Fourth! Are you okay? Mrs. Wu was so frightened that her legs were weak, but she was tightly protecting her precious granddaughter in her hands.
Song Laosi got up and limped over: "Mother, I'm fine!" Let's take a look at Fuya, are you scared! ”
Mrs. Wu looked down into her arms, the little milk baby, who was originally very energetic, had a pale face at this time, and leaned on her softly. Mrs. Wu was shocked: "Fuya, what's going on?" ”
What can I do? Are you stupid to be that boar and hit yourself on a rock? Of course, it was the luck of Xiao Fuya that blocked it! Song Ziran had only one thought in his heart: save Daddy, save Daddy!
Fortunately, this stupid man like a big dog is fine...... Fu Ya was happy, and her heart was relieved and fell into a coma.
"It must have been scared!" Song Laosi didn't care about the wild boar lying on the ground, and drove the ox cart to the village, "Let the fifth aunt take a look!" ”
Jiang Shi checked the godgranddaughter who fell into a coma, except that she was weaker and less energetic than before, but she didn't find anything wrong, so she could only take care of it first! If it doesn't work, go to the prefecture and ask a doctor to come over!
Fortunately, in the next few days, although Fuya was very happy, she did not get sick, nor did she delay drinking milk - she could eat and sleep! I slept more than I did a while ago.
The whole family is distressed! Song Laosi slapped himself twice: "It must be Fuya who used her blessing to block the disaster for me!" Otherwise, why would the boar suddenly hit the rock? ”
…… I have to say, you are the truth!
Mrs. Wu said to a few daughters-in-law who were making bacon: "I know that some of you blame me for favoring Fuya. But you don't want to think about it, just after Fu Ya was born, a heavy rain alleviated the drought since the beginning of spring. Whether it is the vegetable patch in the backyard or the crops in our field, they are better than other parents. The two hens that don't lay eggs also start laying eggs every day! In the same pond, other people's families can't catch fish, but ours catches big fish one after another. I also picked up pheasants and hares from time to time! And now it's a wild boar for nothing! Why didn't this happen before? Isn't this all the blessing that Fuya brings to us? ”
The second daughter-in-law, Liu Cuihong, said with a smile: "Mother, Fuya is so well-behaved and cute, don't say it's you, even I hurt her to the core." Shouldn't this one girl doll hurt more in our family? Don't worry, I won't think much about it! ”
The eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Yingmiao, looked at the marinated bacon under the eaves, smiled, and continued to bow her head to make a summer shirt for Fuya. She is stupid and can't express herself, but she is not confused in her heart: in previous years, she couldn't eat a meal of meat all year round, and Fuya was born for more than a month now, hares, pheasants, and fish...... You can taste the meat every ten days and eight days.
There is also the wild boar from the previous child, weighing hundreds of pounds, if it hadn't killed itself, five strong men like Lao Si might not be able to control it! The wild boar was sold for more than half of it, and it was exchanged for more than three taels of silver. Before the autumn harvest, there is no need to worry about running out of money to buy food.
Each of their three daughters-in-law cut five catties of meat and brought them back to their parents' homes. When I went back to my parents' house before, several sisters-in-law had no faces, but this time I saw the meat she was carrying, it was so hot, it was like a different person!
In previous years, the family often ate this sad meal, and the adults and children in the family were so hungry that they were shaking. Now coarse grains with wild vegetables can be eaten for most of the ...... This comparison is not just like what the mother-in-law said - Fuya, this Nier came with blessings!
The third daughter-in-law secretly pouted: A girl, losing money, the whole family is like drinking ecstasy soup, treating her as a treasure! Although she can earn a few copper plates for her family every month now, she will not be someone else's daughter-in-law in the future? Inheritance must not rely on male babies?
However, she only dared to think about these words in her heart, otherwise her mother-in-law would be able to tear her apart! Alas! It would be nice if she could split the family, and when the time comes, she can take as much wild boar as she wants to her mother's house! The mother-in-law is getting more and more picky, so many wild boar, but she only asks them to bring five catties to their parents' house! Her little brother will marry a new daughter-in-law in a few days, how can five catties of meat be enough?
She didn't want to think about it, the wild boar was picked up by Sifang, and if the family was separated, she wouldn't be able to share one or two meats!
……
In recent years, natural disasters in the north have been frequent. The year before last, there were floods and torrential rains, and all the crops were soaked and rotted. Last year's locust plague, not to mention the crops, even the leaves and grass roots on the mountains were eaten away.
This year, the drought is severe, and there has not been rain since the beginning of spring - it is only a hundred miles near Houshan Village, and it has rained - and most of the crops in other places have died in drought!
However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and God seemed to leave no way for people to live. As if the harvest season was about to begin, it seemed as if it was pouring out all the rain that had been accumulated for half a year, and the heavy rain had been falling for five days in a row, and it had not stopped.
Song Laohan was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night, sighing at the heavy rain.
Mrs. Wu thought that there were many people in the old fourth room, so she took her granddaughter back to her house to raise her. The fourth daughter-in-law has no milk, and it is the same with her and without her!
After feeding Fuya half a bowl of milk, Mrs. Wu wiped her granddaughter's mouth with a clean damp cloth. Listening to her wife's sighs one after another, she couldn't help but say, "What's the sigh?" Can you stop the rain? ”
Song Laohan muttered in his mouth: "If the rain doesn't stop, the crops that can be harvested soon will be soaked!" ”
Remembering that the year before last, when there was no harvest, their family went up to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, and even ventured into the mountains to hunt some small wild animals, tightening their belts to barely survive. The fourth child of the old family, and the fourth child who was born and didn't have time to name it, didn't get through it because he was too old to eat wild vegetables and grass roots......
The youngest of the boys in the family is also four years old, Song Laohan is not worried, but she is only more than two months old...... No, it won't! Even if he starves to death by himself, he can't let Fu Ya follow the old path of those two thin-lived brothers!
