Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 237 Good News
On the day of Lidong, the custom in Liaodong is to eat dumplings.

This day is the beginning of winter. Liaodong people say it is tonic for winter, but in fact it is tonic. The dumplings stuffed with mutton and radish are made at home, because mutton is the most warming.

It turned out that Luo Yan, who was watched by Ning Wan, could still eat some meat when she walked every day, but because of her experience in the desert, she hated mutton the most, so she also wanted to eat vegetarian radishes.

Ning Wan has always liked good food, so she asked Mrs. Bi to prepare something and mix the stuffing herself, but she just stirred the stuffed meat a couple of times and found the strong smell of mutton really unbearable, and she retched when she turned around.

People in Liaodong usually move the noodle table, basin and stuffing into the house when making dumplings, and everyone sits in one place and talks while making dumplings.The same is true in the old house. At this time, all the women in the family are in Mrs. Wu's main room, and everyone laughed, "There should be good news!"

Ning Wan took a sip of the water handed by her mother-in-law, suppressed the discomfort in her chest and abdomen, and understood.In the past, I had to count the days every month, but there was never any. This month, I forgot because Tieshi had gone away. Now, thinking that the monthly letter has not arrived, I blushed, and asked in a low voice: "Can you do it accurately? "

The mother-in-law asked her the time, calculated and said with a smile: "It's not [-]% sure, but [-]% sure." She also called her, "There are so many people working in the family, don't worry about the dumplings, go to the kang Lie down for a while." As he spoke, he put down a set of quilts beside him.

Ning Wan took off her shoes and lay down next to her mother-in-law, with her hands lightly placed on her abdomen, it was still as flat as usual, and she couldn't feel anything.

The mother-in-law laughed when she saw it, "Where can I touch it now, it will take another one or two months to show my pregnancy." Aunt Wu, Mrs. Bi, Mrs. Lin and others who had given birth talked about it while making dumplings. When I was pregnant, this one likes to eat sour food, the other one likes to vomit when it smells anything, and the other one can’t eat any food, only drinks water...

Ning Wan had seen pregnancy at home before, and now she knows many taboos, pregnant women can't eat rabbit meat, can't participate in weddings and funerals, can't see confinement women, etc.She listened to everyone talking, as long as it was an order, she would obey it one by one, although it might not be completely credible, but after all, she was careful not to overdo it, and she was pregnant in October, so it is natural to be safe.

Because of such good news, everyone was beaming with smiles. In addition to the two stuffings prepared earlier, a pork sauerkraut was temporarily added. I'm afraid she just vomited and couldn't eat mutton.

All of a sudden the dumplings were wrapped, boiled and brought out, unexpectedly although Ning Wan thought the smell was not good before, it tasted better now, she ate some of each kind of dumplings, not less than usual, her mother-in-law was so happy that she couldn't get along with her smile Put your mouth together, "You have such a strong mouth, and the child is also strong." I am happier than eating by myself.After putting away the table and thinking about it again, he called Aunt Wu to take out the money box, and gave everyone a reward, even Uncle Wu and Lao Lin outside also sent two people out.

When Ning Wan saw it, she smiled and said, "Where do you want mother-in-law to take the money, everyone should send a double share of this month's monthly money."

The mother-in-law just laughed, "I'll give it to me, you send more of yours, everyone is destined to live together, and we are happy every day, so it's right to get more." As he spoke, he opened the box again, took He produced several pieces of clothing material, compared them and looked at them, "These two pieces will be used to cut clothes for you, this piece will be used to make a small quilt and mattress for the baby in the stomach, and this piece will be used to make small clothes and trousers."

Seeing that her mother-in-law was dizzy with joy, Ning Wan said, "Of course I should make some small quilts and quilts, but I don't lack clothes. What should I cut out? Let's put these two pieces away, mother-in-law."

The mother-in-law said: "Do you think you can still wear your current clothes in a few days?"

Everyone followed suit, "The old lady is right, the lady should cut two looser clothes, so that she can wear them when she shows her pregnancy!"

It turns out that Ning Wan loves to be pretty on weekdays, and her clothes are always tailored very well. If her belly becomes too big and she really can't fit it, she will accept it with a smile, "Then I'll just get the good things from my mother-in-law!"

Aunt Wu joked, "Your mother-in-law knows how to live the best life on weekdays, and she has saved a lot of good things, who will not give it to her daughter-in-law!"

What she said made Mrs. Wu laugh again, "Are you jealous in your heart?" After speaking, she took out a few pieces of material and distributed them to everyone, "Everyone cut new clothes to wear!"

Luo Yan also got a piece of cloth, but she refused to accept it, and said with a smile: "I'm still young, I don't need a piece of cloth, the old lady can just get a ruler."

Mrs. Wu was extremely happy today, so she didn't care about a piece of clothing, "Just hold it!"

Seeing Luo Yan looking at her quietly, Ning Wan said with a smile: "When you are growing tall, your clothes will soon be short, so make another one if you have too much material!" I want her well.Now the kid is more worried.

But Ning Wan didn't want to explain anything, as the saying goes, time sees people's hearts, Luo Yan will always understand in the future.

Seeing that the old lady was happy, everyone coaxed her to be happy. They were thinking about what kind of clothes would look good, and they were watching the emperor's calendar to pick and cut clothes, and then they made new clothes.

Ning Wan was about to write a letter to Tieshi, but she wanted Lao Lin to go to Hutai County to tell her father and mother, but was stopped by everyone, "The new pregnancy is still short, so don't tell me, just stay for a few days and be safe." Then go to announce the good news."

Although I can't tell Tieshi the good news now, Ning Wan is naturally full of joy when there is such a happy event, and I think about how to write him a letter in a few days, what will happen when he receives the letter, and then How would he wait when he saw the child after giving birth, so he often sat there and laughed.

The happiest thing is that Ning Wan's health is really good, and the feeling of nausea and discomfort has passed in only a few days, and she has never really vomited.The mother-in-law was happy to see her daughter-in-law was pregnant, but now she was even happier because she was pregnant but still able to eat and drink. She took the money from the bottom of the box and bought bird's nest for her, and asked Mrs. Bai to cook a cup for her every day. Seeing that her daughter-in-law's face is plumper than before, her own spirit is also much better than before.

After going like this for a month, Xixin'er was already sure, and Ning Wan sent a letter to her natal family.

Because Tieshi went into the mountains, it is not yet known when the letter will be delivered, so the reply letter is even more distant.It was the father, mother and eldest aunt who came to see her on the third day after receiving the letter.

So many people came to the house at once, and it immediately became lively. Mother, mother-in-law and eldest aunt sat at the kang table and talked, "I know that Lu's family doesn't lack anything, but I think that the chickens and meat in our country are raised by ourselves." , knowing the basics, went back to the village with her father and asked someone to kill a pig and a few chickens and bring them over."

It turned out that father and mother went back to Sanjia Village yesterday, and asked someone to kill pigs and chickens and bring them to him!

Ning Wan really wanted to talk about them, why run in such a cold day!But it's not easy for her to intervene casually when the elders are talking, so she sits beside her mother-in-law and listens to her mother-in-law laughing and answering: "It's really hard work for you. Wan'er is fine, you just need to rest assured." And how much Ning Wan eats these days, compared to the past He told his in-laws all about falling asleep, and said, "I only have one son and one daughter-in-law, how can I lose her?"

The aunt said: "Of course we can rest assured. When Wan'er came home, she often said that her mother-in-law is a generous person and loves her very much, just like her own girl."

Ning Wan smiled quietly, why did she feel that everyone was better at talking than before.

Because there were distinguished guests at home, Mrs. Bi took out her means and cleaned up the two tables with good food and food. Outside, Uncle Wu and Lao Lin were accompanied by her father. Sitting around the table, the words became more speculative.Playing cards after dinner, with enough people, the game became more and more lively.

That night, my mother stayed in Ning Wan's room with her eldest aunt and elder sister, and although she could tell from her daughter's face that she was doing well, she still asked first, "Is everything your mother-in-law said true? "

Ning Wan just laughed, "Even though my mother-in-law is not very good-tempered, she is a real person. She was good to me at first, and it was even better when she was pregnant. Every day, she would personally help me pick out the bird's nest hair Well, I'm afraid Mrs. Bai won't clean it up."

Niang nodded, "Living at home, nothing else is important, but sincerity is the rarest thing."

The aunt smiled and said: "I told you that Wan'er is doing well, you are always worried about it, so you can rest assured after reading it this time!"

Ning Wan said casually: "I've only been away from Hutai County for how long, what is there to worry about? Besides, is there any shortage of food for me here? I have to go back to Sanjia Village to buy meat and chicken. It's so cold!"

The eldest aunt said: "I originally said that it would be fine to let a man go back. Your father and mother didn't agree, but they drove the mule cart to Mayi Town, and changed donkeys back to Sanjia Village! When they arrived at the village, they picked a donkey. I bought the fattest pig, killed it and brought it back, and bought a dozen hens!"

The eldest sister also complained about them, "I also said that it's too cold now, and it would be good to send someone who can handle errands, but parents won't listen to anyone, but you are not at home, and no one can control them."

Mother saw that everyone was talking about her, so she said: "In the past, when Xian'er and Qing'er came back with good news, the family naturally tried their best to send things, but it was not as good as it is now, because they were busy making ends meet and had no money. , it’s hard to live in the past decently, but now life is better, these things are really nothing!”

Thinking about it is also the same reason. This time, parents came over, wearing satin leather robes, driving a big mule cart, and brought a cart full of things. When they arrived at Lu’s house, they gave money to each of the servants. Happy, and the happiest should be themselves!Ning Wan smiled and said, "So we were wrong, but you are all right!"

Everyone laughed at her.Talking about family affairs again, Ning Wan was most concerned about Sister Xi, "Why didn't cousin come over?"

The aunt said: "Of course she misses you too, but she is afraid that you will be looked down upon by your husband's family because you will be tired after coming here, so I asked me to buy four snacks from Piaoxiangju for her."

This is the case in the world, no matter what the reason is, a woman who is abandoned or divorced will be humbled, not to mention that if sister Xi really made a mistake, all the women in the family will be implicated. They will also step on them because of this, so some women obviously have a very bad life, but for the sake of their aunts, aunts, sisters, and even nieces and nieces, they have to endure it, so as not to embarrass their family.

Ning Wan deeply hated this custom, a person is good if he is good, and bad if he is bad, why must he implicate others!So he said: "Cousin is also supercilious, why bother our close relatives? Besides, my mother-in-law doesn't know the truth, if Sister Xi comes, she can only pity her."

The eldest sister said: "Even if it is like this, Sister Xi doesn't think about it too much, and she doesn't even want to go out on weekdays."

Ning Wan thought of Luo Bing's words, and felt more and more that he was able to say "the past can be changed, and there is nothing good about it." It was really amazing, and she said: "Use these words again to persuade my cousin, the past has passed, and now it is time to You should start over."

Auntie nodded again and again, "You don't have to worry too much about Miss Xi, she is actually very good now, she is in charge of steamed buns and steamed buns in the store every day, and I never have to worry about it. I also pay her wages, and I use her for dim sum. for his wages."

Mother talked about Shitou again, "I wanted to bring him here too, but now he has learned serious articles, so the husband said that he can't ask for leave at will, for fear of delaying his homework. I will discuss it with your father when I come here this time." I didn't tell him about coming to see you, I'm afraid he was distracted."

For a while, the eldest sister also thought of her daughter, "Thanks to Wan'er's hard work, she also went to study, now our Wanjia steamed stuffed bun shop is kept by her daughter, she is like a little adult when she settles accounts every month, we have to listen to her." her."

The aunt also laughed when she heard it, "I always said that my daughter looks like Wan'er!"
