Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 53
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Mrs. Chen arranged for Zhixin and the others to pick up Huixin.Mrs. Xue was worried that Zhixin and Zhiming would not be able to take care of them well, so she dragged Mrs. Zhu along to the town to pick up Huixin.Wen Han was going to the restaurant to deliver the fish, so he naturally followed.Anyway, the work in the ginseng field is about the same these days, and there is an old man leading Mrs. Chen and the children, so it's okay.

It is not so easy to take the daughter out of the door home, and it is necessary to prepare some gifts for the in-laws.Just in the morning, a lot of fish came out, Mrs. Xue and the others picked two slender scales, some crayfish caught by the children, and two hares.This hare was picked up from the traps dug by Zhixin and the others. Didn’t Zhixin and the others use sticks when they were free? They set up a lot of traps around the sticks. Every morning, the children would go to see if there were any. what.Like this morning, there were not only rabbits, but also a roe deer. Zhixin sent this roe deer to the restaurant to ask if it could be sold.

When I came to the town, I went to the restaurant first.Sure enough, as soon as Wen Han said that there was another roe deer, the manager of the restaurant said he wanted it.So, even the roe deer and the fish were sold for a tael of silver. Wen Han hurriedly collected the money, greeted the manager and came out of the restaurant.

Mrs. Xue went to the dim sum shop to buy two packs of dim sum, and then everyone went to Tao's house.As soon as he walked to the gate of Tao's house, before he went up to knock on the door, he heard movement inside.

"What's so great about having a child? What woman hasn't given birth to a child? Why are you so rich, why don't you do anything? Our old Tao's family is so unlucky, marrying a sick child like you and coming back with paper It's like it's stuck, it can't be touched, it can't be touched, and it seems that the wind will come." The voice inside is the old lady of the Tao family.

"Isn't it? Sister-in-law, it's not sister-in-law who is talking about you. I just want you to help wash some Jingming's clothes. Anyway, you wash clothes for Qingnian, and you need to push things around? I'm pregnant." When I was watching Jingming, I didn't delay doing anything." The voice was Tao Qingfeng's wife, Yu Shi.

Xue Shi, Zhixin and the others couldn't stand listening outside, so Zhixin stepped forward and knocked on the door vigorously.

As soon as someone knocked on the door inside, they hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, come here." Someone inside hurried to the gate, opened the door, and said, "It's the elder brother and sister-in-law of the Xu family, come in quickly." It was Yu who opened the door.

Zhixin and Zhiming, as well as Xue Shi and Zhu Shi, all looked a little unhappy, they went straight in the door, and saw Huixin in the courtyard, with her head bowed and washing her clothes, with tears falling into the basin non-stop.But in front of Huixin, there was a huge pile of children's clothes. These were not just a few pieces, but a pile, all of which were plain, cotton, or padded.

Xue stepped forward, pulled Huixin up, and saw Huixin's eyes were red. "Sister, what's the matter? What about celebrating the New Year?"

Huixin didn't expect her sister-in-law to come, so she quickly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine." She didn't know what to say.

"He said it's okay. You're less than three months pregnant. It's time to be careful. Why do you wash so many clothes? How many clothes can you and Qingnian have? Whose clothes are these? You don't have any." Child, where did you get the children's clothes?" Mrs. Xue had heard it from outside, so she asked on purpose at this moment.

Mrs. Yu hurriedly said from the side, "Sister-in-law of the Xu family, these are the small clothes that Jingming of my family wears. I was thinking, didn't Hui Xin already have these clothes? I will give these clothes to Hui Xin and make new ones when I can spare them. You Look, it’s not just found out, I just want to wash it and keep it for later use.”

"Oh, then I have to thank his sister-in-law, but why do I see that these clothes are worn by three or four-year-old children? Even if our Huixin is born, we won't need it for the time being, right? I think his sister-in-law is still herself." Keep it, don’t you have a second child in your family? Save it for the second child.” Tao Qingfeng’s family has two children, the eldest is four years old, and the second is only two years old. These clothes are clearly the eldest’s. .

The old lady of the Tao family also came to her at this time, "His sister-in-law, Huixin, where are you coming today?"

"Auntie, my mother misses her daughter, let's pick up Huixin and go back to live for a few days. Anyway, Huixin is in this state, so she can't do anything, just go back to live with her mother's house for a while." Anyway, the two families are still in-laws, so we can't get too stiff, Xue Shi pulled out a smile and said.

"Huixin's sister-in-law, don't be careful when she is an aunt. This Huixin has a body. It will take more than an hour from the town to your venue. Besides, there is nothing good on this mountain. There are so many Huixin can't go to the bobcat and beast. It would be nice if there was someone bumping into it." Mrs. Tao wouldn't let anyone go.

"Don't worry, Auntie. We are Huixin's brother and sister-in-law. We have been hurting Huixin since we were young. How can we let her bump into each other? Master, you go to the pharmacy and tell Qingnian that we will take it Huixin will take him back and live there for a while, so he won't forget about it." Xue Shi just ignored the trouble, and asked Zhixin to go to Qingnian directly.

"Okay, I'll go and talk about it right now, the young couple must know where the daughter-in-law has gone." Zhixin often went out according to his words. Today, the Tao family's father and Qingfeng are not at home, and they go out to do carpentry work for others. .Only the old lady and Mrs. Yu were left at home, so it was not easy to pull Zhixin now, so I could only watch Zhixin leave.

Here, Mrs. Xue stepped forward to hold Huixin, and went back to the house to pack her things.And Mrs. Zhu rubbed out the clothes for celebrating the New Year in twos and twos, hung them on the rope, then poured the water out, and then went into the house to help pack things.

Inside the room, Mrs. Xue helped Huixin pack some clothes, "Sister, tell the truth to my sister-in-law, do they always bully you?"

"It's okay on weekdays. When the old man is at home, they don't dare to bully me. If the old man and Qingnian are away, the old lady will speak harshly, and the sister-in-law is still whimpering. I won't talk back to others. I can only listen." Huixin sat on the edge of the Kang, and tears fell as she spoke. "It used to be better, but this time, I heard that our family moved to the mountain, so the nose is not the nose, and the face is not the face. The old lady said some strange things every day. I didn't understand it at first, but later I realized that it was about me. I paid the money to my natal family, but I refused to give it to them." Hui Xin said while crying. "I am pregnant with a child, and I still do laundry and cooking every day, but I don't need to wash this nephew's clothes, do I? Noisy or something. If my sister-in-law hadn't come, I could only hold it in my stomach."

Mrs. Xue sighed. They were worried when they got married.It's just seeing Tao Qingnian's sincerity towards Hui, and Huixin also likes Qingnian, which makes the two of them happy.At that time, Mrs. Chen knew that if Hui Xin married, she might be offended. "Sister, put all your things together, and lock what should be locked. This time, let's go back and stay for a few more days."

Mrs. Zhu came in and helped them pack up the things. Huixin's dowry box was in the back room, and everything was locked.When you come out of the inner room, lock the door of that room too.

At this time, Zhixin also brought Qingnian back from the pharmacy, and everyone helped Huixin to the car, and a small quilt was spread underneath for Huixin to sit on.

Qingnian was reprimanded by Zhixin just now, and only then did he know that his mother and sister-in-law were bullying Huixin at home. Looking at Huixin's red eyes at this moment, he felt very uncomfortable. "Go home and stay for a while, and I'll pick you up when I figure out the family affairs. Take good care of your body, you know?" Qingnian took Huixin's hand and urged.

Huixin listened to Qingnian's words and nodded her head vigorously. She was also reluctant to celebrate Qingnian, but living in this house was really boring. "Qing Nian, I'll wait for you."

Zhiming drove the ox cart to the house, and Qingnian watched the ox cart disappear before turning around and returning home.Seeing her son's complexion, Mrs. Tao knew that Zhixin must have complained just now, "You don't have to make a fool of yourself, we didn't treat your daughter-in-law badly. We just asked her to wash a few clothes. Does the wife not wash clothes or cook? Why is she so delicate?" Tao Qingnian was the second child in the family, and he was not valued by the family since he was a child.Nowadays, most of the family's money is earned during the New Year.In this way, the old lady felt a little apprehensive about the second son.

Qingnian didn't say a word, just stared at his mother, which made the old lady feel hairy. "Mother, you didn't like Huixin from the very beginning, I know that. I thought you could treat Huixin better for the sake of the child in Huixin's womb, not to say the way you treat your sister-in-law, but you have to show respect." It's okay, I didn't expect you to run on Huixin like this when I was not at home. She was weak since she was a child, and now she is pregnant with a child, so she can't get angry. What do you mean by running on Huixin?" After all, it is a mother, Qingnian It's not easy to say too much, and the tone is very peaceful.

The old lady was a little unable to answer the son's question.She was not optimistic about the Xu family, if her son hadn't told her that if she couldn't marry Huixin, he would be a bachelor for the rest of her life, and the old lady wouldn't have agreed to this marriage.When Huixin married, she brought so much dowry, but she didn't say she gave some money to the family, which made the old lady feel very uncomfortable.Coupled with the matter of Xu's family, he always thinks about embarrassment.But who would have thought that Huixin's belly was so upbeat that she was pregnant only three months after they got married.Now, Qingnian treats Huixin like a baby, and doesn't let her do anything.The old lady and Mrs. Yu felt uncomfortable, and it was difficult for them to be wise when they looked at the empty one.This Mrs. Yu is a relative of the old lady's natal family, so the two of them naturally have one heart.
