Steamed buns, go farming with your mother

Chapter 4 Open Your Eyes

At that time, Mrs. Wang didn't even bother to settle accounts with Ergou's wife, so she helped Su Ho to bed, and kept comforting Su Ho: "He'er, it's okay, mother-in-law is here, it's okay, just bear with me, mother-in-law Go get ready! Don't worry, the child has lived in your stomach for a long time, and you want to come out sooner, it's okay, there is a mother-in-law!"

After seeing Su Ho nodding in pain, he went to the yard, quickly added water to the cooking pot, found the scissors, went into the house to prepare, and prepared the cloth for the child earlier.Seeing that she had gotten into trouble, the two dogs' daughter-in-law sneaked away.

Although Mrs. Wang had made preparations long ago, unexpectedly, Su Ho usually looked fine, but today, I don't know if he was stimulated or something happened. He always felt unwell. The child's birth was not smooth, and Su Ho even fell into a coma several times in the middle.Later, Su Ho passed through, and his soul entered this body, and the child landed smoothly.

"Do you remember what happened later?" Wang asked.After talking so much, Wang felt thirsty.

"I know, mother, you have suffered for so many years." Su Ho really admired this ancient woman. If it weren't for her extremely strong mind, Su Ho would not be able to imagine how Wang's persistence came. A woman loses her husband first, and then loses her son. She is always ups and downs in suffering, which is unbearable, but Wang's ability to cheer up and serve her daughter-in-law has to be admired.

"Then what's the point of suffering?" Wang Qiang smiled: "Life is like this, I'm used to it!"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wang packed up the bowls and chopsticks, and went out, but Su Ho clearly saw a sparkle in the corner of Mrs. Wang's eyes.

After Mrs. Wang went out, Su Ho had nothing to do and looked at the sleeping child. Although the child was still young and his skin was wrinkled, he could still see that the child had the same cherry mouth as Mrs. Wang, moist and small nose. , but very straight, although the eyes have not been opened, but it does not hinder the cuteness of the child.What a charming boy, Suho stretched out his finger and touched the child's face.

Mrs. Wang packed up and went out with a basket. She was going to buy some grain and come back.Before going out, Mrs. Wang came in specifically to talk to Su Ho, and told Su Ho that there were vegetables in the pot that were still hot and mushy. If you were hungry, you would fill them up and eat them yourself. If the sheep were chained in the yard, remember to feed them a handful of grass so that they could eat. Soho takes care of the house.

Seeing Mrs. Wang go out, Su Ho felt much better again, so she got up to wash up, took a comb from the bedside, combed her hair casually, and tidied herself up neatly.Su Ho knew that she had to adapt to this poor family as soon as possible, as the family could not afford to support idlers.He glanced at his son again, saw that he was fast asleep, and then went to the yard.

Seeing this dilapidated yard, Suho once again experienced the poverty of his own family.Looking up, first of all, there is a large steep rock wall, which is almost at a ninety-degree angle to the ground, like a loyal guard, guarding the world.Below the rock wall, a clear river meanders, like a happy dove, flying between the mountains and into the distance.Large tracts of trees exude vitality different from modern ones, so green, so ancient, and so...beautiful.There is a small bamboo forest next to the house. The breeze blows, and the bamboo branches are swaying, like a group of little fairies, flying in green dresses. This scenery is better than many modern farmhouses, except that the house is a little dilapidated.Their family lived nearby. In fact, they didn’t live that far away at first, but after the old house was sold, Wang Cungen went again. A widow of the Wang family brought a child, so it’s better to avoid the suspicion of Lixia in the melon field, so, Wang chose this place.

The yard is not big, it's a man-made site, and it's fairly flat.Below the yard is a gentle slope. Wang’s planted some seasonal vegetables. It is still early summer, and the field is full of vegetable seedlings, such as leeks, eggplants, beans, and tomatoes. It can be seen that they have been carefully cultivated. Reasonable.In the yard, apart from a kitchen made of a simple shed, there is a relatively solid stove under the shed. The stove is not big, and it is usually used for boiling water and cooking.The family has a small population and no pigs, so there is only one stove and one pot for daily use.There is a small chicken coop in the corner of the yard. There are no more chickens in it, and some dead branches are piled up now. Mrs. Wang is old and Su Ho is pregnant. After a few months, there is no firewood to burn at home. Wang had no choice but to pick up some dead branches every day and use them as firewood. Fortunately, there is a forest behind the house, so this is not a big problem.

This is where Suho will live in the future. Generally speaking, Suho is satisfied, and there is nothing he can do if he is not.

After looking at the environment, Su Ho started to tidy up the yard. The Wang family has never been free. At first, in order to find his son, all the family members could exchange money. Afterwards, they have been busy making a living and taking care of Su Ho. The yard has not been well maintained. tidied up.

Fortunately, in modern times, Su Ho was engaged in green commodity management. For a long time, in order to develop good and pollution-free vegetables and fruits, and to understand the circular development of organic agriculture, she lived in the countryside for a long time.Get used to doing it yourself.

The yard hadn't been cleaned for a long time, Suho found a broom from behind the door, and slowly swept out the dead leaves that had accumulated in the yard for a long time, and piled them on the small gentle slope for composting.Then I saw the sheep tied in the yard, and thought that this was food for my son, so I went to pull grass to feed it. Fortunately, it was summer, and the grass was everywhere, so I didn't have to leave the yard too far.

After doing this, Su Ho thought that she hadn't washed it for a few days, it was like taking a good bath, and thought that women in confinement should not touch the water, she was a little undecided.Then I thought that my body is my own, making myself sick, in this era of lack of medical care and medicine, it is undoubtedly torture to myself, so I chose to change my clothes, at least to make myself feel better.

After changing clothes, Su Ho planned to boil a pot of hot water, wash the clothes, and clean the house by the way. However, even in the modern countryside, Su Ho had never used this kind of firewood stove. It uses liquefied gas.After fiddling for a long time, the fire still didn't rise, but it made my face black.

Su Ho was worrying, unexpectedly, his son who had been quiet for a whole day woke up and burst into tears in the room. Su Ho had no time to clean himself up, so he hurried into the room to pick up his son. When he saw it, he found that his son had wet his diaper and hurriedly gave it to him. The son tidied it up and changed it with great difficulty, but the son was still crying, so Su Ho hurriedly followed Wang's example, squeezed a bowl of goat's milk for the child, and fed it slowly.At this time, Su Ho found that his son's eyes that had been closed all the time had been opened!
Su Ho was extremely happy. In modern times, because pregnant women can keep up with nutrition, many babies are born with their eyes open. At the beginning, Su Ho was worried. Unexpectedly, this child is a strong one. After opening his eyes, Su Ho let go of his hanging heart.The child has a pair of black eyes, like the darkness of the night, revealing purity, big eyes, and beautiful double eyelids.

Mrs. Wang came back from outside with a basket of green grass, and a cloth bag in her right hand, which was full of cornmeal, which was the ration of her family, but the half bag of corn was not enough for the family. The grass is for the sheep.Before Mrs. Wang entered the yard, she heard their boy's loud cry, and she was not in a hurry to enter the house. Sometimes, Su Ho also had to learn to grow up by herself.After she brought the corn into her room, she fed the sheep with a handful of grass. She found that her yard was much cleaner. She thought that Su Ho got up and cleaned it up. When she saw the water in the pot, she froze for a moment, and finally When she found the dirty clothes piled up in the yard, Wang smiled and felt distressed. Su Ho is still in confinement, but she knows her own situation better than anyone else. If there is a way, she will also let Su Ho He sat down for a month.

Entering Su Ho's house, Mrs. Wang saw that Su Ho handled everything very well, and also saw Su Ho's cat-like face, and felt a little puzzled. Su Ho used to do these tasks very well, but today How come the fire won't burn?
"Mother, you're back?" Su Ho saw Wang's face covered with a smile, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Mother, the child has opened his eyes!"

Su Ho hurriedly shared the good news with Wang.

Wang shi originally planned to go back to the yard to wash the dirty clothes, but she was very pleasantly surprised to hear Su Ho say that. "Let me see!" Wang moved her head closer and saw the child's dark eyeballs staring at a certain place without focus: "These eyes are exactly the same as when Douzi was young!" I can't help but think of the son who is still missing, and I feel sad from the bottom of my heart, but I don't want to lose my composure in front of my daughter-in-law, and I try my best to bury my sadness in my heart.

Seeing that the boy had finished eating, Mrs. Wang hugged him and teased him while he was still in good spirits.

It was rare for Su Ho to see Mrs. Wang's happy smiling face, so he handed over the child to Mrs. Wang, and went back to the yard to continue fighting against the stove and water.

After teasing her grandson for a while, Mrs. Wang coaxed him to sleep. When she returned to the yard, she found that Suho hadn't started a fire yet, so she shook her head: "Let me do it!"

"Mother," Su Ho quickly stopped, joking, he will have to use this in the future, and it won't work: "I'll just come, you can teach me by the side!"

Seeing Su He's white and tender face was darkened, but his expression was serious, Wang was right when he thought about it, from now on, both mothers and daughters should know what they should know.So, Wang seriously taught: "There is still a trick to lighting a fire. Look, this is flint."

Mrs. Wang took out two stones from the stove and handed them to Su Ho: "Usually, we use these to make sparks to start a fire. This is more troublesome. Therefore, most of the time, we will plant the fire seeds, and we can use them directly next time." .”

Su Ho knew about using a flint to ignite the fire. At the earliest time, the lighter was ignited by the friction between the flint and the gear, but Su Ho knew nothing about burying the fire.

Seeing Su Ho's puzzled expression, Mrs. Wang went on to say: "If the fire is buried well, it will last for a few days. In fact, every family in our village will bury the fire. It is to use freshly burned ashes to burn It's just buried with charcoal, but it can't be too deep or too shallow."
