Chapter 4 Baizigou

To the north of Baizigou are rolling hills, the foot of which is fine, and the middle are mostly hills with fruit trees and shrubs.It would be extremely dangerous to go beyond this hill and go further in.

On weekdays, except for the old hunters with a radius of ten miles, basically no one would dare to trespass into the deep mountains alone.Even the annual hunt is led by veteran hunters.

On the west side of Baizigou is a river.It is said that as long as women who are about to give birth go to the river to pray sincerely, they will give birth to a boy. The local people love to call it Baizi River.

Whether it is as the legend says, there is no evidence for this point, but this river has nurtured a place of water, soil and people, and Baizigou, which seems to be poor and poor, has not seen any dead people in famine years.

As the production date approaches, Bai Xiulan has recently set her sights on this river.It's not that she believed in such legends. If it was true, she would have given birth to a son long ago, instead of being disappointed every time.

But... Although the mother-in-law never complained that her daughter-in-law could not give birth to a grandson, the old man, especially the mother-in-law who has only had such a son in her life.

In the village, her old man just watched the two stepson above as one family after another gave birth to one grandson after another. It was impossible to say that she didn't have any thoughts in her heart.

Don't talk about anything else, just talk about herself, even she, as a daughter-in-law, has some ideas in her heart, why didn't she also hope in her heart to give birth to a man who can support the family.

It's not that the daughter is bad, no matter how good the girl is, she will eventually get married.No good man would be willing to become a aunt, let alone the older one is already disobedient, and she is reluctant to wrong the younger one.

As far as her parents are young, they are outstanding in everything, and even the child's teacher said that they will let the child go to work after graduating from high school.If you really want to find someone to get in the door, the child's father will not panic, and she will not be able to bear it.

Fortunately, God opened his eyes.After more than ten years, she, the mother, has a body again, and she is still a twin. Finally, she doesn't have to feel wronged that the child wants to stay at home and support the family.

Of course, all of this is based on the fact that the child in her stomach is born with a son... Bai Xiulan stroked her tall belly, and glanced at her mother-in-law who was working in the wheat field with her great-granddaughter on her back.

Look at the sky, the sun is rising high, it will definitely not rain today, it seems reasonable for her to leave alone for a while, and avoid people on the way, let's go to the river first.

On the wheat threshing field, Mrs. Xu seemed to be working with a rake in both hands, and from time to time she squatted down to help the old sisters beside her, and her mind was always on her daughter-in-law.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law glanced at her again, how could she not know what it meant, otherwise, what would she be doing at a very old age, and she had to work together with her daughter-in-law.

Go, go if you want.Sorry for being early, but for being late, both sides of the river are full of men and women who have been soaking in water for a day, and they are still those hairy boys, but don't be angry with a few words again.

Due to people coming and going in the wheat field, Mrs. Xu had no choice but to wink at her daughter-in-law first, indicating that she would leave together later.She was really worried that her daughter-in-law approached the river alone with her big belly.

Bai Xiulan was overjoyed and misunderstood her mother-in-law's meaning. Seeing her mother-in-law blinking and nodding, she shouted before she was overjoyed.

"Mother, I'm going to the thatched cottage first, you watch for a while, I'll be right back when I'm done. Don't come here, I'll just go by myself, I'll be careful." She waved her right hand and turned around to leave.

Mrs. Xu, who was about to put down the rake and raise her legs to follow, was stunned.You have already said that, how can she keep up?I didn't look at the little daughter-in-law who didn't have a big belly and was working.

There were people coming and going in the field, and it was harvesting season, wishing that one person could be used as two people, she really couldn't just leave the work and leave. "... This child, walk slowly and watch the road more."

"Old sister-in-law, you can relax. Bai girl has given birth to two, she will take care of herself. Besides, the whole road is full of people and nothing will happen."

What do you know, do you really think my daughter-in-law can be like your old daughter-in-law, giving birth to children is smoother than a hen laying eggs?Besides, she didn't really go home directly.

"...Looking at the pregnancy picture at this moment, it is really different from the first two babies. It must be a boy... By the way, the belly of the third child in your family is about to give birth, right?"

Seeing the figure of her daughter-in-law gradually walking away, the old lady Xu nodded absent-mindedly, "Yes, the doctor in the city said that if it is fast, it will be the end of this month, and if it is slow, it will be next month."

The old Xu's family had already separated. At the beginning, Mrs. Xu chose a homestead at the foot of the Northeast Mountain for her son, and left the old house to the eldest son of the Xu family, saying that it was the ancestral home for the eldest son.

Compared with Xu's old home, which is next to the river and has convenient water, this famous and good stepmother, when the family was separated, she really had nothing good to give to her own son Xu Laosan.

For this reason, Xu Lizhu, the youngest of the Xu family who had just started working in the Linxian Coal Mine after being separated from his family as soon as he got married, spent his own money to dig a well for the convenience of water.

Therefore, it is not that no one in the village is muttering that he does not listen to the old man's words and insists on drinking well water. After so many years, even the daughter of the Bai family who is the most capable of giving birth to a son has not given birth to a child.

Bai Xiulan didn't complain.Compared with carrying water, it is naturally more convenient to have a well at home. Besides, it is the foundation picked by the mother-in-law, can she still dislike it?
It's not like she didn't go to the riverside to pray when she was about to give birth. She thought it was embarrassing to go for the first child, but the sister-in-law who gave birth to five sons dragged her there.

This is life!Otherwise, the husband's natal family, even the old sister, has no shortage of sons, so why is it so difficult for her, Miss Bai, to help her man have a son.

In her man's words, sometimes there must be a hit, and there is no time to force it.But... third brother, I'd better beg you before you go home, so that you can feel at ease.

Bai Xiulan deliberately made a detour and passed by the river, secretly comforting herself that no one would dare to laugh at her, she was worried about the two daughters, and wanted to pass by the river to visit them.

The eldest of her family, that child is not suitable for work at all, and he probably sneaks off somewhere right now.The same goes for my uncle, who didn't even find a shadow of him.

Got it!
Not to mention those two who didn't live up to expectations, even her parents are young, there is a large area near and far, and there is no sign of this child when I look around. Where did he go?

This girl is going out before dawn today, she has persuaded you to go over and help boil water and deliver water, even if the adults have time to cut the wheat for a certain distance, what is the hurry?

But this child, just like her father.You say yours, she does hers, just smiled and ran away.I just don't know if this girl has gone back to cook at this moment.

Since she couldn't find her child, Bai Xiulan looked around again, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she quickly put her stomach in her hands and chose the "Feng Shui Treasure Land" by the river.

Not to mention, this feng shui treasure is covered by green willows with crooked necks, and if one moves a few steps to the left, even kneeling on the ground to pray, no one really sees it.

At this time, Bai Xiulan was flustered and suddenly forgot about this "Feng Shui Treasure Land". She had come here to kneel, worship, and pray 15 years ago.

"Auntie!...Auntie!..."
