The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 1 Wild Eggs

Mrs Li bent her cumbersome body to mow the grass. She saw a nest of wild eggs not far away. She walked up the slope with surprise in her eyes and walked cautiously. When I was young, I could not cook without firewood for home cooking.

This is what her mother-in-law ordered. She still remembers that her mother-in-law went to the aunt in the same village to help take care of the child in the morning, because the aunt gave birth to a son.

"How can you be so delicate, a thing that specializes in producing money-losing goods? There is no firewood at home, so you have to cut it back twice a day."

Li can only be obedient, and when she is about to give birth, she has to go to the mountain to mow the grass.

She mows the grass and finds wild mountain eggs in the grass. When she sees the wild eggs, she thinks of the four yellow-faced and thin children at home, and reaches out to pick up the wild eggs. There is a wasp nest in a place, "buzz"

"what!"

Li's conditioned reflex, using the straw hat on her head to fan Huang Feng, her movements were slow, not as fast as those little bugs, and needles were all over her face and hands.

The needle still carefully put the wild eggs in the cloth bag, and took off the wasp honeycomb buzzing around her, and slowly walked out of this hillside.

Feel the burning pain in the face and hands, and the wasp sting.

Li squatted on the grass, resting here, and the wasps gradually flew away.

She felt that her face was sore and hot, and her hands were swollen. Seventy to eighty catties of firewood.

Walking slowly down the mountain with one foot high and one low, walking a mile back to the village, I met a mother-in-law who came out of the vegetable field.

The mother-in-law saw Li's eyes dimly: "From the Acer family, you have to be careful with such a big belly! Acer is also true, he has broken wood in his carpentry. Why do you have to go up the mountain with such a big belly to mow the grass, if you fall What to do?"

Every day, Mrs. Li heard the villagers speak sympathetically such language, and she thought the same as these people, but she was used to being cowardly, and gave birth to a few baby girls. Can't have a boy...

"Third mother, I'm fine..."

"Oh, what's wrong with your face? And your hands." The third wife came closer and realized that Li's face was swollen like a pig's head, and her exposed hands were swollen.

"Third mother, I'm fine. I was slapped by a wasp just now."

"From the Acer family, you have to be careful! It's all poisonous. I don't know if it will affect the child."

"This..." Li Shi was frightened after hearing the words of the third wife.

"Have you removed that wasp fetus? Picking this will detoxify it."

"Yes, I'll go home and cook."

Li's hairpin was twisted and some messy hair fell out. Drops of sweat dripped from his bloated face, and he still walked with one foot high and one foot lowered.

"Pig head..."

"Let's hit the pig's head..."

The bear children playing on the roadside picked up stones and hit Li Shi. The stones were not very big. Li Shi protected his stomach and did not scold the bear children.

"Mother, don't hit my mother..." Eight-year-old Daya carried a bamboo basket, a one-year-old girl on her back, a three-year-old girl in her hand, and a five-year-old girl behind her. The baby was also carrying a small bamboo basket, and they were going to mow the hogweed.

"Don't come here, big girl, the stone will hurt a lot." Li's heart of protecting her daughter, all four female dolls are there.

"You are all bad guys... don't hit my mother..." Da Ya cried and scolds those people, and even helped her to escape the stones thrown by these arrogant children.

"Yeah! It turned out to be a mother who lost money, but today she has become a pig's head, haha..."

One with a runny nose, lots of patches on his clothes, short sleeves, and short pants, obviously ill-fitting.

The other bears laughed too.

"Dog Dan, you're naughty again." A strong man came back from the mountain with firewood and reprimanded the children.

The group of bear children scared away.

Daya cried and said to Mrs Li, "Mother, do you hurt?"

"Uuuuu, mother..."

The doll on Da Ya's back and the other two younger sisters also cried.

"Mother is fine, let's go home first."

After a tossing just now, Mrs. Li felt her stomach drop.

"Cry, cry, useless stuff, don't hurry home and cook." Mother-in-law Lai helped her eldest daughter take care of the baby, and the daughter returned from work in the field, let her go home for dinner, and heard their mother and daughter in the distance. The five cried out in irritability.

"Lai, your daughter-in-law's belly is so big, and you don't pick up firewood, Hongji daughter-in-law, what's wrong with your face? It's swollen like this, come, I'll help you."

The neighbor's mother-in-law Li was holding a basket of vegetables in her hand. There were only a few neighbors in the neighborhood, and she sympathized with Li.

"Bah, you, Mrs. Li, isn't it right for your daughter-in-law to do things? What's your business? Who told you to be a good person?"

Lai's triangular eyes stared, he stomped his feet on the ground, spit out a mouthful of saliva, found the cloth bag that Li was hanging on his hand, rolled his eyes, grabbed the cloth bag and went home quickly.

"Mother-in-law..."

Li was so anxious that she was about to cry. The mother-in-law took this bag. The wild eggs she picked up at the risk, the wasp fetus...

"From the Acer family, don't worry... go home first."

Granny Li took Li's load and carried her vegetable basket in her hand. She didn't know why Li paid so much attention to cloth bags.

Mr. Li didn't care about his falling stomach, and took a few steps to catch up with Mrs. Lai.

"Mom, walk slowly."

Lai has already entered the courtyard gate of a mud-tiled house with only three rooms and a kitchen. On the other side of the courtyard is a thatched straw shed, where a father and son are making furniture.

She pushed open the door and came in. The father and son who were making furniture looked up and continued to make furniture.

Two girls came out from a room in the house. They were 13 and 15 years old respectively. These are Lai's two daughters. The 15-year-old daughter has been engaged and is about to get married and is doing the dowry. The other one stays at home with.

"Mother, what good things did you bring back? We're hungry."

Lai was hugged by his two daughters on the left and right, and helplessly opened the bag in his hand.

"Wow, wild eggs."

"There are wasp fetuses in there, mother, I want to fry and eat."

The two sisters felt drooling when they said this, and took the cloth bag and followed Lai back to the inner room.

When Mr. Li entered the door, he happened to see two sister-in-laws, and Mrs. Lai, the mother-in-law, put away the cloth bag.

Li's tears rolled in her eyes with only one slit, and her legs stayed where they were.

"Mother..." Da Ya brought her younger sister in, put the pig basket on the ground, and helped her mother out of the way.

The father and son who were making furniture looked up and continued making furniture.

Granny Li brought in the firewood, saw the unmoved father and son, put the firewood gently in the yard, looked at the father and son reproachfully, and said:
"Uncle, Acer..."

Hearing the voice of the aunt next door, the father and son raised their heads again, and the father stopped the wooden work in his hand.

"Brother-in-law, daughter-in-law is also true, how can I let you help choose?"

Acer found his wife's swollen face and walked over quickly and said, "My son, what's the matter with you?"
