Chapter 70
Seeing that her daughter-in-law's sister was going to see her sister, Granny Wan got up and said, "Xian'er slept all morning, just woke up and drank a big bowl of millet porridge, ate four more eggs, and the milk came down. You’re awake.” Then he said, “I’ll take you there again.” He led them into the East Wing.

Entering the room of the eldest sister in the east wing, I saw that the eldest sister was sitting on the kang, her hair was loosely tied up in a bun, a wide strip of red cloth was tied on her forehead, and she was wearing a green cloth floral jacket. Underneath are black cloth trousers and white cotton socks, nothing is exposed except for his hands and face. Next to him is a small red and wrinkled little nephew, wrapped into a candle bag, sleeping soundly. His chest was bulging.

Granny Wan said, "Didn't I tell you to lie down more? If you sit for a long time, your back will hurt."

The eldest sister smiled and said: "I have been lying down, and I just sat up when I heard my father and Wan'er talking." Looking at Ning Wan, "I haven't seen you in two years, but I have grown so tall." Then asked: " Are parents okay?"

Ning Wan agreed one by one, and then went to visit her little nephew and asked how the elder sister was doing, and the two sisters kept talking for a while.Granny Wan said with a smile: "It's been a long time since your family has seen each other, so let's talk for a while, I'm going to cook."

Auntie and Ning Wan both got up to help, but Granny Wan didn't agree and pushed them back, "It's not easy to come here once, so I don't need you, just talk to Xian'er for a while."

After Granny Wan left, the eldest aunt said to Ning Wan: "Go back and tell your mother, I've been by my side since Xian'er gave birth, and her in-law's family has treated her well, so don't worry. "

Ning Xian also said in the same way: "My mother-in-law is not very good at talking, but she has a sincere heart. Except for steaming egg custard for grandma every day, I didn't eat any of the new eggs laid by the chickens at home this year. I kept them all for me; I bought two A catty of brown sugar is also a catty from grandma’s side, give me a catty; last night when I was about to give birth, I killed a chicken for me to eat.”

Ning Wan knew about it a long time ago, the Wan family is good, and the elder sister's life is going well, so she smiled, "Although mother has been thinking about elder sister, she actually knows. I will tell her these things when I go home, and she will be happier. "I took out the small bag and clothes my mother made, and told Ning Xian, "The family took two chickens, two catties of brown sugar, two catties of red dates, and two hundred eggs. You just eat."

Ning Xian said, "Why did you take so much, half is enough!"

The aunt just laughed, "You don't know yet, your father bought another donkey, and the business is doing well. When you came here today, both of you and Wan'er were dressed brand-new, and they couldn't be more decent. Now your family has no shortage of food. Yes, I will naturally bring you more things. You are in confinement, don't worry too much, just take good care of it."

In fact, all the things have not been taken out yet. When Ning Wan finally put a big shiny silver lock next to her little nephew, Ning Xian rubbed her hands and said, "Why are parents spending so much money, it costs several taels of silver!"

Ning Wan smiled and explained, "My parents prepared more dowry for the second sister than the eldest sister, so I always remembered that I would give my grandson a big silver lock!" They'll be happy to have this big silver lock, and it's what they deserve.

The eldest aunt sighed and said: "Your parents! They are really single-minded towards the children. I did my best when I gave you the dowry, and now I have just earned some money and have not forgotten to marry them. daughters, you will also honor them in the future!"

Ning Xian and Ning Wan quickly agreed, "Auntie, we all know."

The aunt was very happy, and looked at her little niece, "Wan'er looks more and more like a girl in the county town."

Ning Xian laughed when he heard it, and then looked at his sister carefully, "He looks good, and his clothes are well-dressed, he looks similar to the girls in the county town, especially this pile of gauze flowers, just like the rich family in the Zhuangzi over there. the girl wearing it."

"That's not it," the aunt agreed, "Last month when I went to the Zhao family's Zhuangzi to help cook, I saw that Zhao Dianshi's youngest daughter was also wearing a silver gauze skirt and piles of gauze flowers on her hair, but in terms of appearance Not as good as our Wan'er."

The land in Lishu Village is fertile, so there are many big families in Hutai County who set up villages nearby. The Zhao family has a farmhouse with over [-] mu of land in the east of Lishu Village. Mrs. Zhao will come here every summer to escape the heat. .At that time, Zhuangzi will find some people in Lishu Village to clean and help the kitchen.

Ning Xian said regretfully: "Mrs. Zhao has always been the most generous. This year, my family refused to let me go, so I didn't earn wages or rewards."

"It's for your own good to not let you go! What can you do if you accidentally hurt your big belly!" But the aunt scolded her niece a few words, but then told her, "Mrs. Zhao came with guests this year, so The reward is twice as much as usual. I went back a few days ago on business, and I heard that they might come again in a few days, and everyone rushed to go again."

"My aunt is quick at work, the housekeeper will definitely want her."

My aunt earns this amount of money every year, so she said, "Don't worry, we will go together next year."

Ning Wan listened, and unconsciously remembered that in order to earn money, she went to the Zhao family to help the cook, and thought about a few novel dishes to relieve the summer heat and sent them up. As expected, she got more rewards, but because Mrs. Zhong himself bought himself to be his son's concubine at home, and later helped Zheng, and even gradually handed over the Zhao family's family business to himself.

Ordinarily, the Zhao family has a large family business, and I live comfortably in the Zhao family, and Mrs. Zhao has never treated me badly.But Ning Wan didn't want to go back to the previous path, she wanted to take her parents to do business to earn money and live a good life together.

Thinking that he would never help the Zhao family to cook again, he probably would have no chance to meet Mrs. Zhao again.

The aunt and nephew were chatting lively, and suddenly found that Ning Wan hadn't spoken for a long time, so they both asked her, "What are you thinking?"

"No, I didn't think about anything." Ning Wan quickly shook her head, "I just think the room is too stuffy."

The aunt said: "It's like this during confinement. Because the bones of the child are all open, so even a little wind can't blow. If the wind blows, it will be confinement." She repeatedly told Ning Xian, "You must never give up. Don't be greedy for coolness and blow the wind, confinement is not fun, if it's too hot, drink more soup." In a blink of an eye, he looked at Ning Wan again, "I'm not afraid of heat, why don't you go out and get some fresh air before you come back."

Ning Wan hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of the heat." It's been a long time since I saw my eldest sister and eldest aunt, so she naturally wanted to spend more time with them to make out.

Ning Liang and Ning Wan went to Wan's house to nurse Ning Xian, Wan's family treated them very well, bought wine, fish, tofu, Liangpi, etc. After all, this place is close to Hutai County, so everything is convenient.

The eldest aunt and uncle were also invited to accompany the guests, and naturally there were two seats for men and women. Although Ning Wan was small, she was a guest after all, and she was let by Grandma Wan to sit next to Grandma Wan and Eldest Aunt in the kang. Granny Wan picked up a lot of meat and fish for her, filling Ning Wan's bowl to the brim.

Ning Wan gave way again and again, "Girl, aunt, I can't eat so much!"

Grandma Wan said: "The child is still growing, so he must eat more!"

Ning Wan had no choice but to eat as much as she could, but guarded her bowl vigilantly, lest they add more food to her and make her aunt laugh straight away, "Wan'er eats too little, look, your eldest sister just ate a meal How many!"

Just now Ning Wan saw with her own eyes that Granny Wan gave the elder sister a large bowl of noodles in broth, with a lot of pork belly cut into it, and four poached eggs, and the elder sister ate all of it in a blink of an eye.But she is really incomparable!

It's no wonder that the elder sister gained a lot of weight later on. Ning Wan felt that she didn't want to be that fat, even after giving birth to a child—then she poohed in her heart and scolded herself, "Where did you think!"

But after thinking about it again, now that the Ning family is living a better life, she no longer has to sell herself to live with a fool for the rest of her life, and she will naturally be able to marry a normal person in the future, and then give birth to a child, there is nothing wrong with it!

So distracted, Grandma Wan picked up another piece of chicken thigh for her, "This is this year's chicken, it's very tender."

Ning Wan couldn't eat anymore, so she picked up the chicken leg again and sent it to Grandma Wan's bowl, "Grandma, you eat!"

Grandma Wan naturally thought that the chicken legs were good, so she took them back to Ning Wan, "The milk is old, and it doesn't taste good at all. Now is the time for you to eat more."

Ning Wan put it back and brought it to Grandma Wan's mouth, "Grandma, you will be healthier if you eat more, and live longer!" Finally, she sent the chicken leg out, and then put a piece of chicken breast back in the same way. To Granny Wan.

In fact, it is very common to pick up food for each other when eating at the farmhouse, but after she arrived at Zhao's house, she learned the rules with Mrs. Zhao and realized that it is not good to pick up food for others with her own chopsticks when eating, but to take another A pair of chopsticks, and she has never used her own chopsticks to pick up food for others, and now she has to make an exception, and the Wanjia people don't care anyway.

After a full meal, Ning Wan went to talk with her sister for a while, teased her newborn nephew for a while, and then said hello to her father who was drinking and talking with the old man and uncle of the Wan family. My aunt went home.It turned out that Dad stayed at her brother-in-law's house, and Wan's family had no spare room, and she happened to go to live with her aunt's old daughter, Xi, at her aunt's house.

Unlike Hujia Village and Sanjia Village, Lishu Village has only one or a few surnames, but more than a dozen surnames, but the Wan surname has the largest population.The eldest uncle is also surnamed Wan, and belongs to the same family as the eldest brother-in-law. The family has more than ten mu of land, all of which grow wheat, and their life is better than that of the Ning family in the past.

Sister Wanxi is half a year older than Ning Wan, and because she is an old woman, she has been very pampered since she was a child. Needless to say, she has never done any work in the field, and even my aunt doesn't need her help when it comes to feeding pigs and chickens at home. On weekdays, I mostly do housework and do some sewing in the house.

Sister Xi has grown up like this, and she has the appearance of Xiaojiabiyu, and she is very beautiful, and her speech and behavior are not like ordinary peasant daughters, but there is only one shortcoming, that is, although she does not go out of the house often, her skin is a bit dark, so But it's natural, and you can't cover it up.But although she was a little darker, she was also beautifully dark, as the saying goes, you are pretty in the dark.
