Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 6: Aunt Diao, Change Fields
Earth house.

Ever since Fang Hongan left the house.

Lan Wenxiu felt a little uneasy.

She could clearly feel that Fang Hongan was obviously different when he woke up today.

Fang Hongan explained that he had a nightmare and was frightened.

Lan Wenxiu believed it, but she was somewhat worried about what kind of dream could scare Fang Hongan so much.

The situation at home put a lot of pressure on her husband. She also knew her husband's character. He didn't look strong, but he was always a tough guy who would grit his teeth and swallow his suffering.

A few years ago, someone in the neighboring village was suppressed and became mentally ill. He became an idiot.

After the poor harvest last year, someone in Shiwan Village died of anxiety.

We must be vigilant about this.

Of course, what Lan Wenxiu was most curious about was why Fang Hongan went up the mountain this time.

The things he asked her to prepare were really strange, and Lan Wenxiu couldn't figure out their use.

Digging kudzu?

hunt?

They don’t look alike at all!

It's quite weird!

But Fang Hongan spoke with full confidence, and Lan Wenxiu believed it in her heart.

She knew what kind of person her husband was, which was why she had chosen Fang Hongan and wanted to marry him despite her family's opposition.

He wouldn't lie to her. If he said there would be a surprise, then there must be a surprise.

After watching Fang Hongan's back go into the mountains, Lan Wenxiu also started to get busy. As a wife in the mountains, she cannot sit idle during her pregnancy after three months of pregnancy.

Fang Hongan is different. He usually rushes to do this and that and won't let her do it.

But thinking about her husband gritting his teeth and supporting the whole family, she had terrible nightmares at night.

Lan Wenxiu felt distressed.

"While he's away, we need to put things in order."

Lan Wenxiu started to get busy with watering and sweeping the floor!

They swept the house clean inside and out first. Although their mud brick house was old, it was tidy and clean, and was not inferior to those green brick or red brick houses.

After cleaning, the sun was already high in the sky, and it was time to pick out the firewood from the low house in the backyard and dry it in the sun.

Fang Hongan carried all this firewood down the mountain one by one, and then chopped it piece by piece with an axe in sweat. It had been exposed to the sun for several days, but it was still not completely dried.

There was a lot of firewood, and Lan Wenxiu only picked up three or five pieces at a time and carried them out. She didn't grab much, and just went back and forth a few more times.

When you feel tired, stop and rest for a while.

She remembered Fang Hongan's advice that she must not overwork herself or else Fang Hongan would be worried and distressed.

And... the baby in her belly is the hope of both of them, so no accidents can happen.

After moving for more than an hour, all the firewood in the low house was moved to the yard to enjoy the sunbathing. Lan Wenxiu wiped the sweat off her face and looked at the empty low house. She thought that when the baby was born next year, she would be able to go out to pick pig grass. She must find a way to catch the two piglets.

It's a pity to use such a nice low house to store firewood.

After raising pigs, Fang Hongan and the baby in her belly will be able to eat meat during the Chinese New Year next year.

Thinking this way, Lan Wenxiu felt that her current situation was not bitter at all. With a smile on her face, she looked out the door with longing. As soon as Lan Wenxiu returned to the main room, she heard a loud voice calling out from the door: "Hong'an! Hong'an!"

Hearing this voice, Lan Wenxiu frowned subconsciously and turned around reluctantly. The short and fat woman who had been calling out all the way had already arrived at the gate with quick footsteps.

Seeing that it was Lan Wenxiu, she changed her tone and said, "It's Wenxiu! Is Hongan out?"

This short and fat woman was none other than Fang Hongan’s aunt-in-law Xie Liucui.

Fang Hongan's grandmother gave birth to six children in total, one of whom died young, and only two sons and three daughters grew up.

Fang Hongan's father is the fourth child in the family, and above him are Fang Hongan's uncle and two aunts.

Xie Liucui is the wife of Fang Hongan's uncle Fang Qingshan. She is from the Xie branch of Shiwan Village. Her father was originally a butcher in Shiwan Village. She has many uncles, brothers and sisters in her family, which has cultivated her domineering and aggressive personality.

Fang Hongan's parents died when he was young, but under the leadership of his eldest aunt, his uncle's family not only failed to take care of him, but also schemed against him in everything.

Therefore, the relationship between the two families is not close.

A few days ago, Fang Hongan went to Xie Liucui to borrow grain, but Xie Liucui not only refused to lend it, but also proposed a proposal to exchange land, including the one acre of paddy field in Niujiaowan.

Lan Wenxiu was clear about this matter.

At the moment, Xie Liucui came to the door with a shy smile, which was probably related to the land exchange matter.

Although Xie Liucui said that she was looking for Fang Hongan, Lan Wenxiu saw her eyes staring at her and she immediately knew that this malicious aunt was coming for her.

I guess he found out that he was alone at home and came to me deliberately to talk about exchanging fields.

The reason why they didn't look for Fang Hongan was because Fang Hongan had already turned against them that day at their house.

She was planning to coax herself into convincing herself and get herself to persuade Fang Hongan.

After thinking all this through, Lan Wenxiu was not in a hurry to break up with her. After all, Xie Liucui was nominally her aunt-in-law from her husband's family. Even if the relationship was not good, she, as an outsider, still had to respect her.

After a lukewarm greeting, Lan Wenxiu welcomed Xie Liucui into the house.

Xie Liucui had never stepped into this door since Lan Wenxiu got married, but this time when she came in, the aunt seemed quite familiar.

After walking into the house and taking a closer look, he grinned and praised, "Oh! It's incredible! It's so clean! Our Hongan is so lucky to marry such a capable wife like Wenxiu!"

After praising her, she narrowed her eyes and looked Lan Wenxiu up and down: "She is also very pretty! That's great!"

If it were someone who was inexperienced, he would probably feel so proud of himself after hearing so much praise.

Lan Wenxiu's mind was as clear as a mirror. She smiled and said a few humble words, then turned around and poured herself a cup of tea!

"Ouch! Ouch! No need! No need!"

Xie Liucui quickly came forward with an attitude of being flattered. She took the teacup and supported Lan Wenxiu at the same time: "We are all family, why are you being so polite? You don't have to drink the tea quickly. You are pregnant, so you can't do any rough work!
Aunt, I am an experienced person, you have to believe me. When I gave birth to your eldest cousin, I was exhausted. Not only did it cause your eldest cousin to be born prematurely, but I also developed a health problem and now I always have back pain.

Don’t believe the nonsense that those rough women in the village say that you can go back to work after the pregnancy is stable after three months…”

Xie Liucui held Lan Wenxiu's hand and gave her instructions as if she were a close relative and her tone was full of concern.

Seeing Lan Wenxiu staring and nodding frequently, as if she had listened, she looked down at Lan Wenxiu's abdomen and changed her tone: "If I remember correctly, it's been three months!"

Lan Wenxiu nodded: "Four months!"

"Four months?" Xie Liucui frowned and muttered, "Then your belly is still so invisible, something is wrong..."

Lan Wenxiu's eyes became stern when she heard her change of heart.

The real show is finally coming...
