Ruan Niannian also participated in labor during this time, although she was just picking peanuts, but the peanuts were all shriveled and sparse, and there was no fullness on her family's farm in later generations.

Although it is already in the 70s, in her opinion, the production capacity of Dahe Village is not much better than in ancient times, relying on farm fertilizer, not many kinds of pesticides, and no machinery to help, and even, every dry season, because of the competition for water.

In the absence of a disaster, everyone could not eat enough, and they could barely starve to death, and if they were affected, it was not uncommon for people to starve to death.

Wang Fengxia said a few words to herself, and found that Ruan Niannian was in a daze: "Brother and sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ruan Niannian came back to his senses and said tentatively: "Third sister-in-law, is there any other baby named Huzi in the village?" ”

Wang Fengxia thought for a while and said: "No, I haven't heard of anyone's nickname being Huzi, but there are many dogs, I don't want to call this, so I settled on Huzi, and your third brother also agreed." ”

"Neither of us has studied much, and the culture is shallow, thinking that you study a lot, and you are from the city, give her a nice name."

Wang Fengxia had a satisfied smile on her face when she spoke, and when she stared at her stomach, her eyes were loving, Ruan Niannian thought that she had already lost a child, if she lost another one, would she still be able to bear it when she was hungry and cold?

Since she wore books, among several concubines, she and Wang Fengxia are the best, and she can also carry the main third sister-in-law, and she will not think about taking advantage, plus Jiang Ming has a good relationship with Jiang Ran, whether it is the child in the belly of the third sister-in-law, you need to be cautious.

Ruan Niannian thought about it and said: "My father and mother have both read books, let my father and mother take the name, I think the names of Jiang Ran and the third brother are good." ”

The ancestors of the Jiang family made a fortune by selling tofu, and when they had money, they all let their children study in private schools, Jiang Ran's father, Ruan Niannian's father-in-law also read it, and wrote a beautiful calligraphy.

Hearing her say this, Wang Fengxia thought for a while and smiled: "Yes, then when Jiang Ming comes back, I will ask him to go to his father-in-law to talk about it." ”

"By the way, brother and sister, do you have something to do?" Wang Fengxia just cared about talking about the child, and when she thought about it, she was afraid of delaying Ruan Niannian's matter.

Ruan Niannian looked at the rain outside: "This rain is still falling, and it doesn't mean to stop, what about the food in this field?" ”

"Pile it up and wait until it's sunny before drying it."

How poor Dahe Village is now, there is not even a plastic sheet to cover the grain, Ruan Niannian also saw it when he first came over.

sighed in my heart: "Third sister-in-law, what should I do if this rain has been raining for a long time?" Is there still food to eat in winter? ”

Wang Fengxia was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "Probably not, maybe it won't rain in the next day or two, I think the rain today is lighter than yesterday." ”

When I saw her appearance, I knew that I hadn't thought about what I would do if it rained one after another.

"When I was a child, I learned a little bit from my grandfather to look at the weather, and it will take at least half a month to see this rain, and then I am afraid that the food will be damaged, and the baby in the belly of the third sister-in-law is almost the month, so it is better to let the third brother find a way to buy more food."

Wang Fengxia was slightly stunned, and the action of embroidering shoes in her hand also stopped, looking at the rain outside, she muttered unconfidently: "It shouldn't be." ”

When she said this, she didn't have much confidence, in Wang Fengxia's opinion, Ruan Niannian was better looking than her, more knowledgeable than her, and knew more, so to some extent, she believed Ruan Niannian more than believing in herself.

But she didn't dare to think about what to do if she was hit by the disaster.

Ruan Niannian continued: "It's always right to have some food, in case of a disaster, adults can save some, what about children?" ”

said that Wang Fengxia's heart was in trouble, she looked at her stomach, her child would be born in ten days, and she felt at ease when she had some food.

Wang Fengxia said: "Brother and sister, I know, when your third brother comes home, I will talk to him." ”

Xu Lan was not at home, Ruan Niannian said to Wang Fengxia, and it didn't take long to go home again, Jiang Ran went home at noon to eat, and went to the ground again.

The rain was heavy again at night, and Jiang Ran couldn't see anything in the dark before going home, followed his daughter-in-law's words and took a hot bath, lying on the bed and hugging Ruan Niannian.

Listen to the sound of rain outside.

Ruan Niannian said in a low voice: "Jiang Ran, I want to go to the city to buy some food when the rain stops, this rain is too big, I don't feel at ease." ”

Jiang Ran has been busy in the fields, and the ditch in the village has been filled with water, and this rain is indeed abnormal.

Ruan Niannian thought that he disagreed, so he said what he said to Wang Fengxia again, but some words were changed, and he leaned beside him and said: "We haven't taken any safety measures in the past few days, what if I already have a child in my belly and don't have enough food to eat in winter?" ”

When Jiang Ran heard this, he was slightly stunned, and his fiery palm suddenly fell on her flat lower abdomen, and he said in a low voice: "Have a child?" ”

Ruan Niannian reached out and picked up his big palm: "I said just in case, just in case." ”

In the small courtyard, Ruan Niannian and Jiang Ran were discussing the matter of buying food, and in the side room of the Jiang family, Wang Fengxia was also talking to Jiang Ming about this matter.

Jiang Ming was also busy in the field for a day, and he was tired, but at this time he didn't forget to talk to the baby in his belly.

"Little guy, do you miss your father?"

"Hey, why are you still kicking people......"

Wang Fengxia pushed Jiang Ming's head against her stomach: "I'm talking to you, did you hear it?" ”

Jiang Ming said: "I heard, no matter how hard we can't be bitter children, how much money do we have in our hands?" ”

Wang Fengxia got up and rummaged through it, took out a small rag bag, and poured out all the money: "There are thirty yuan and seven cents." ”

Among them, there are ten yuan that she married into the Jiang family, and her father and mother gave it to the Jiang family.

"The rice is a dime and a hundred pounds, and if you want a ticket, we have to buy it secretly if we don't have a ticket, at least it will cost us a dime and eight pounds to buy it."

Wang Fengxia also knew it, but still said: "Buy it, buy it with peace of mind." ”

Jiang Ming didn't say anything anymore when he heard this: "I'll go to Jiang Ran tomorrow to talk to me." ”

The two families were discussing the matter of buying food at night, and Zhang Hui next door was tired from a day's farm work, and she was still envious of Ruan Niannian when she was in a daze and wanted to sleep: "The fourth family, if you want to work, you can do the easiest work, if you don't want to work, you won't do it, it's really a good life, my life is hard, follow you." ”

Jiang Lao Er was also tired and ached, and said with no good temper: "You have the ability, you also look like the fourth family, like a fairy, you don't need to marry me, there are young men in the village to help you work." ”

……

Ruan Niannian discussed with Jiang Ran, and he agreed to buy food, but he didn't agree with Ruan Niannian.

"The road to the county seat is not good, it's raining, and you can't walk in many places, don't worry about it, Wang Liu and I will sneak over."

Ruan Niannian wanted to say something, but the man hugged her arm tightly and whispered in her ear-
