The whole family crosses to farm

Chapter 79
Scolding Fang Xiaocao, an adult who has experienced two lives, almost cried. At that time, he swore in his heart that if he found Lao Lin, he must be allowed to take the imperial examination.

But after meeting and getting together, those thoughts faded again, and the Lin family is indeed a big tree. Even if the clan is divided, Fang Xiaocao has to admit that their family is not being picked on by some people now, because they have children. My uncle is there.

All in all, if a family has a good reading, relatives outside the [-]th line can benefit from it.

Pushing open the door of the house, Fang Xiaocao let the three children move freely, while she carried another basket and went to the backyard to cut out two baskets from the dense sweet potato seedlings.

After washing hands in the front yard, Fang Xiaocao said to the three children: "You guys play at home first, I'll go out for a while."

Lin Chunnong was kicking shuttlecock under the shade of a tree, and asked, "Mother, where are you going?"

"Go to the village and give a basket of these sweet potato seedlings to your family, and another basket to the old lady Chen's family."

"The old lady who reminded you yesterday?"

"Well, it's her." Fang Xiaocao also thought of this when talking to the children just now. If she wants to integrate into this village, she must spend more time with those who are easy to talk to and who have offered to help her family.

When others see it, they can also get feedback for being good to themselves, and they will gradually move around.

It doesn't need a good relationship, as long as someone can say a word or two for me when encountering a situation like yesterday.

"Oh, I almost forgot, yesterday at the entrance of the village, there was a man who spoke for us," Fang Xiaocao said, "But what's his name?"

Lin Chunnong said: "I know, mother, that is sister Qingmei's father, the fourth brother of Village Chief Lin."

Fang Xiaocao looked at her daughter in surprise when she heard the words. She didn't expect this girl to be so clear about the interpersonal relationship in the village.

She thought about it, and didn't cut it right away. Instead, she took the two baskets and went to the village to deliver them to the two families before returning.

But when I came back, the baskets were not empty. There was the old lady, the older people in the village called the elder sister-in-law Chen’s house, who gave me a bowl of steamed buns, and Chen Si and Chen Yaofeng’s house gave me a big one. Bundle of freshly picked Chinese toon buds.

Fang Xiaocao went to thank him for his help, and unexpectedly received a gift in return. For a moment, he understood why Lao Lin liked dealing with people so much.

When she came back, smoke was rising from the chimney in the kitchen. When she went in, it turned out that it was a late-autumn pot, and Xiao Da and her daughter were making noodles.

"Gu, let's cook dinner first, can we have noodles for lunch?"

"Okay," Fang Xiaocao came in with a basket, and seeing her daughter's head protruding from the table, she insisted on holding up a ladle to add water to Xiaoda, so she couldn't help laughing and said, "You go, don't make trouble."

Lin Chunnong looked at his mother:? ? ?
Cousin is the troublemaker, he doesn't know how much water to add to the dough.

"Grandma Chen gave some steamed buns, steam them," Fang Xiaocao said, lifting the lid of the pot, putting on the pot support and roller blinds, and then put the pickled vegetable green buns in, "This is made with the flour water from pressed tofu. If you think it's delicious, mother will also go to the fourth sister-in-law's house to ask for some flour water and steam this bun for you. Is that okay?"

"Well," Lin Chunnong ran over to take a look, "There are still vegetables inside."

Fang Xiaocao had eaten this kind of bun when she was very young, and said with a smile: "It's salty, like a vegetable roll, it's delicious."

After the lunch was ready, the distilled buns and bowls of noodles were served on the table, Lin Chunnong immediately stretched out his little hand on the flour buns, broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth. Strength.

It has a weird smell, but once you get used to it, it's pretty good.

After dinner, Fang Xiaocao took out a large basket from the alley next to the kitchen, and went to the backyard to cut a full basket of sweet potato seedlings. When she went out, she didn't see her daughter.

"At the end of autumn, where is my daughter?"

Whenever the child is free, he reads there with a book in his hands, and Fang Xiaocao wants to send him to a private school to study.

Lin Qiumo was sitting under the shade of the tung tree with a book in his hands, when he heard this, he raised his head and said, "My daughter is asleep, I sent her to the house."

"Then you can read at the door," Fang Xiaocao said, "You can do your own thing after I come back."

"I know, auntie," Lin Qiumo agreed, stood up and followed Fang Xiaocao to the gate before turning back to continue reading.

Chen Sifu's house is at the north entrance of the village. Walk through the entrance of the circle of mounds outside the village, turn east, and the first family is there.

Because of making tofu, the smell of tofu water hit the nose before entering Chen's house.

Chen’s house has a fence gate, only half a person’s height, and the yard is well cleaned. There is a slanted grass drape leaning against the east wall of a room, and a large stone mill is placed under it.

Chen Sifu was wearing a jacket and was grinding under the straw poncho. When he saw Fang Xiaocao approaching, he shouted into the room: "Mother, the brothers and sisters of the Lin family are here."

"Hey," Zhao Yingmei responded, and hurriedly wiped her face with a wet cloth and came out, greeted the door, and said with a smile, "What good thing is this for me?"

Fang Xiaocao could see that Zhao Yingmei's eyes were red and swollen. In modern times, she would not meddle in other people's business, but since the family moved to Yishui Village, Zhao Yingmei has given them a lot of help.

Although there are few things, there are many human feelings in it.

"What's wrong with you?" After thinking about it, she finally asked, "You're still pregnant with a child, so don't be angry."

"Hey, I tell you about the dirty things in my house, you'll feel bad," Zhao Yingmei is a cheerful person, she doesn't care at all when she tells others, she leads Fang Xiaocao to sit in the house , while saying: "Xianghe's father won't make me angry, she is my own mother."

"Since I got married, every time I go back to my mother's house, I always bring the best gift. My elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are also people who can get along with me. Only my third brother-in-law can't bear it."

As Zhao Yingmei said, she brought a pot to pour water for Fang Xiaocao, Fang Xiaocao quickly took it and said, "I'm not thirsty, you should rest."

"Then you have to drink some tea," Zhao Yingmei said, poured the water, and sat next to her to continue what she just said: "I went to Qiancun a few days ago and asked the midwife to show me whether the baby is male or female. The grandma said right away, I'm probably still a girl."

"You have only been in our village for a short time, so you may not know it. After I gave birth to Xianghe, I had a male fetus. After that, there was no movement for a long time. My fourth child and I were looking forward to having a son. After hearing that, the grandma If so, I haven't recovered yet. My mother came this morning and said that my third sister-in-law was also confirmed to be pregnant a few days ago, and that it was a boy. She said that their family already had two sons. It will be difficult to raise her again, so tell me to prepare delicious food for my third sister-in-law from now on. When the child is born, maybe I can bring her back to raise her."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yingmei couldn't help crying again, "It's fine if I don't have a son that others look down on. My own mother is helping her daughter-in-law to calculate my family's things. What's the matter?"

"That's what I said. I just sent delicious food and drink. When the child is born, if the third brother and his wife are reluctant, they can't let me take him back to raise him."

Zhao Yingmei took the wet cloth handed by Fang Xiaocao, wiped her face, blew her nose, and said, "Don't say I need her, but she can't afford it and wants to give it to me, and I don't want to help her raise a son." .There is only one mouth, and she talks extravagantly. She really doesn't suffer at all. If she raises her son, she may lose her wife and lose her army in the future."

"The child hasn't been born yet, only God knows if it's a boy or a girl," Fang Xiaocao couldn't say anything else, it's the same for boys and girls, if you tell some people in modern times, maybe you can still be spit on , not to mention in this era when daughters have no legal inheritance rights at all.

"Don't think about it. Before the baby is born, you have to take care of the baby. You should eat and drink, and go out for a walk if you have nothing to do. Don't take anyone's words to heart. The midwife doesn't have a see-through eye. How can she do what she says? number?"

After Fang Xiaocao said something, Zhao Yingmei still looked preoccupied, "If this is a girl again, our Xianghe will be bullied even more when we go out to play in the future."

"Don't think like that, you're still young anyway, the worst thing is to be born again." Fang Xiaocao said, but if she was looking forward to her son's madness, she wouldn't dare to say such a thing.

Zhao Yingmei cheered up, nodded and said, "You are right, I have to give birth to this child well first."

At worst, if you regenerate in the future, you don't believe that you can't have a son.

"By the way, what did you just bring?" After she figured it out, she soon became in the mood to care about other things.

Fang Xiaocao said: "My family, Lao Lin, brought it from the south, and we haven't eaten much yet. I heard that if you cover it, it will produce a lot of seedlings."

"Then I'll let the old four go up. People from the south don't know if gold is precious or not."

"Don't be so anxious, just sprinkle some water, and it will be the same if you plant it again tomorrow morning." Fang Xiaocao laughed, "The family is so busy, so don't rush around."

Zhao Yingmei said with a smile: "I have been like this since I was a child. I am used to being anxious about everything. I will make a pot of tofu later. You bring a pot when you go home. It will be a meal at night."

"Then I won't be polite to you." Fang Xiaocao knows that if the soy milk is slightly marinated, the tofu nao will come out, and the tofu will be after being pressed. The amount of tofu is promised, so there is no pressure.

"Auntie, why didn't Nongnong come with you." At this time, Xianghe came back from outside with a basket of grass, and she heard her mother talking to Aunt Lin, so she ran in immediately.

Fang Xiaocao smiled and said: "She fell asleep, and at first she said that she came to play with you together. Xianghe, what are you doing?"

"I went to weed the field," Xianghe said.

Zhao Yingmei followed up and told Fang Xiaocao all the sensible and considerate things her daughter had done during this period.

Xianghe was embarrassed to hear that, so she turned around and went out with a small basket. She was not idle outside, helping her father sweep the bean dregs on the edge of the stone mill into the bucket.

Seeing that his daughter was so sensible, Chen Sifu was very concerned, and said to his daughter in a low voice: "Father is going to the town to deliver tofu in the evening, and I will bring you a nice hair rope."

Xianghe said happily: "Then I want the bright red one."

Zhao Yingmei could speak very well, Fang Xiaocao chatted with her for more than an hour before getting up to leave.

When she was leaving, Zhao Yingmei filled her with a large bowl of tofu nao and sent it to the gate of the courtyard. Because there was no one around, she reminded Fang Xiaocao in a low voice: "Don't come to the village for a while, Chen Yaoguang's If you can’t be the village chief, you still have to fight for them with the surname Chen, your family now has people in the county, so that the Chen family will not talk to you one by one."

Fang Xiaocao didn't come to the village often, and she knew that Zhao Yingmei was targeting her when she heard this. Her family, Lao Lin, was not at home now, so she was asked to close the door so that nothing bad would come out.

"I see," Fang Xiaocao said with a smile, "I'll send this pot back to our family at the end of autumn."

"It's a broken pot, just leave it at your house, don't worry about returning it." Zhao Yingmei said, and took two more steps.

Fang Xiaocao was too embarrassed to leave, so she turned around and said, "Hurry up and go home, I'm leaving now."

Zhao Yingmei laughed, "Let's go, you are a city person, and you still haven't adapted to the habits of our village."

Fang Xiaocao left with the tub in her hand, and when she came to Guo Wai, she saw the back of a little boy walking in front of her, who else could it be if it wasn't her own son?

"Wake up," Fang Xiaocao called out.

Lin Chunxing, who was walking in front, stopped, turned around and saw his mother coming out of the village, and asked, "Mother, have you gone to the village?"

"Go and deliver some things to your four major natal families." Fang Xiaocao quickly walked up to her son, seeing that her son was sweating, and said with a smile, "You must be tired from running all the way."

Lin Chunxing still had his shirt unbuttoned, but said, "I'm not tired, this trip is less than five kilometers away."

Then he reached out to pick up the basin in his mother's hand, "Let me carry it."

"We're home now," Fang Xiaocao said, "or else we can lend our ox cart to the Liu family tomorrow and let Liu Pu's father pick you up."

"No, I don't run twice a day now, and I still feel uncomfortable." Lin Chunxing shook his head, "And it's interesting to have several classmates as companions along the way."

"Spring is hot and cold, you'll sweat a lot this trip, don't catch a cold." Fang Xiaocao said.

"No need," Lin Chunxing changed the subject, "Mother, is there anyone from the Chen family today?"

While talking, the two had already arrived at the door of the house. Before Fang Xiaocao could speak, Lin Chunnong, who heard the voice in the yard, had already run out, and said pleasantly, "Brother, the little scorpions we caught that day were a male and a female. Then we'll have baby scorpions."

Lin Chunxing patted his younger sister's head, "You want to turn your house into a scorpion nest?"

Before he finished speaking, Fang Da also ran over, brought the razor blade he had beaten all afternoon to Lin Chunxing, and asked, "Wake up, what do you think of the one I beat today?"

Fang Xiaocao shook her head amusedly, and walked to the kitchen listening to the children's chirping.

In the next few days, as Zhao Yingmei reminded, people surnamed Chen from Yishui Village came to the door one after another, wanting her to pass the word to the higher-ups and return the position of village chief to the person surnamed Chen.

If Fang Xiaocao could avoid it, she avoided it, and if she couldn't avoid it, she explained to them that she would not interfere with who would be the head of Yishui Village, and the county officials would not care about such a trivial matter, let them How to choose the village head in the past, how to choose
