farmer's little girl

Chapter 107 I gave birth to a son, Hu's daughter

Pots of hot water were brought in one after another, and replaced with bloody water and brought out one after another.

Qiu Cuihe had been screaming inside for a whole afternoon, and the little girl was so frightened that she didn't want to leave her mother's side for a moment.Little Hu was boiling water in the kitchen, before Lu Guangren came over and slapped her twice, and finally Lu Guangli came over and pulled him away.

Sitting in front of the stove, Xiao Hu looked at the flames in the stove, wondering why she was still alive.

But it was dark, and the shrill howl was still ringing.

The old man Lu, father and son, and Lu Guangren stood outside the door, wandering around, asking inside from time to time.In the room, the midwife was so busy that she was sweating profusely, and Cui's sweat was also dripping down, while Hu was carrying hot water in and out, and Qiu Cuihe was moaning in pain on the kang.

I don't know how long it has passed, time seems to have stagnated here, until it got dark outside, the moon came out, and the stars also came out, and the little girl had fallen asleep leaning against her mother, with tears still hanging on her little face, the east wing There was a cry of a baby.

The sound was not loud, but it was like a rooster crowing at dawn, bringing everyone alive.

Little Hu moved her stiff body, stood up, and held her daughter in her arms.She didn't go out, but leaned against the kitchen door and looked over there.

"It's a son."

"congratulations."

The faces of the old man Lu and the others were full of joy. This is the first son (grandson and great-grandson) of the two. Obviously, the family is short of money, so Lu Mingchuan took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and handed them over, "Thank you, auntie." is you."

The midwife wiped off her sweat, "Although she is a little weaker, but if she takes good care of her, she should be able to support her."

People like to hear nice words, and the smiles on their faces couldn't help but grow bigger. After Cui Shi and Hu Shi cleaned up the house, they hurriedly squeezed into the house to see the children.

Not long after, Lu Guangren came out and cursed at the kitchen, "Cook quickly, make a bowl first."

Xiao Hu didn't speak, Xiao Niuniu was startled awake, she didn't seem to understand the situation, she cried out loudly.

After Lu Guangren cursed, he withdrew his head, and then Mrs. Hu poked her head out and told Mrs. Hu: "Next bowl of noodle soup, cook the noodles softer, crack an egg, and don't put any salt."

Everyone gathered in the East Wing, as if there was something good there.In the kitchen, after Xiao Hu coaxed her daughter to sleep in a low voice, she put her on the ground, and then turned her head to meet the face.

Why not die, why not die?

It was only the next day that the Erfang family found out that Qiu Cuihe had given birth.

It was a letter from Mrs. Qiao.

It is said that it is a boy, although he is a little thinner, but he should be able to feed himself by hearing that cry.

After telling Lu Jiaoyue about this, Mrs. Mei sighed, "I'm afraid that little Hu's life will be even more difficult in the future."

Lu Jiaoyue was noncommittal.

Outsiders can't get in the way of this kind of thing, even if they really want to find a culprit, they should blame the Hu family for cheating their niece and daughter.It's just how Lu Guangren has become like this now. Obviously, he didn't have so many problems before, except that he liked to steal, rape, play, and dodge.

Lu Jiaoyue can only find out the saying that environment makes people.

Because there was a falling out with the first room, the second room naturally didn't go to wash the third room, and neither did the third room.However, the Erfang family also learned about the situation at the third hour of the day from Qiao's mouth.

It is said that it was very deserted during the third bath, and Qiu Cuihe had long since stopped interacting with her natal family, so there was no one from her natal family.Generally, relatives and friends come to congratulate San San. Qiu Cuihe has no natal family, and the big house and the second and third rooms have all collapsed. Just Dafang's family and the midwife.

The midwife was an old woman from a neighboring village, and she looked very ugly seeing this scene.

You must know that midwives not only earn hard money by helping people deliver babies, but also earn a fortune when relatives and friends come to add pots during the third day.Now that a relative or friend is not here, it goes without saying that this trip is going to be in vain.It is said that when the midwife left, she spat at the gate of Lu's house several times.

Of course, no one came, but an unexpected person came, that is Qiu Cuihe's former sister-in-law, Mrs. Qian's daughter-in-law Sun Shi.

Mrs. Sun came alone, bringing some oil cakes, eggs, and brown sugar.The visitor was a guest, so he was naturally welcomed in by the Lu family. After asking, he found out that Mrs. Sun came to congratulate her.

But this congratulations, there is no smile on my face at all, and my father is dead with my family.

After leaving the things behind, Mrs. Sun left in a hurry. If the things were not still there, one would almost think that this person had never been here.

Mrs. Sun's visit added a lot of doubts to Da Fang's family. After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure out why. It could only be blamed on what the Qian family said at the beginning, marrying Qiu Cuihe to the Lu family as her own daughter.

Didn't she become a daughter? After all, the big house gave a lot of betrothal gifts back then.

Mrs. Hu spat at what Mrs. Sun had brought, and exchanged a few dozen taels of silver for this little thing. It would be better not to come, but it would make people disgusted.

Another even more unexpected person came, no, it should be back.

This person is Lu Jiaomei, the eldest daughter of the Hu family.

Lu Jiaomei arrived home in the afternoon, and Mrs. Qiao came to the second room's house mainly to talk about this matter, because this fact is very surprising.

Mentioning this, we have to talk about it before.

Lu Jiaomei, as the eldest grandson and even the first grandchild of the entire Lu family, is also extremely favored at home. In the past, Lu Guili was the only girl in the Lu family, and she was the first one.

And Lu Jiaomei herself is beautiful, extremely smart, sweet-mouthed and capable of trouble, very much like Hu Shi who hadn't changed her temper back then.Walking in the village, everyone likes it. When she was still in her boudoir, many people took a fancy to her.

It's a pity that such a person did something unbelievable back then.But only the members of the Lu family knew about this matter, and very few outsiders knew about it.

When Lu Jiaomei was sixteen, she ran away with a peddler who came to the village to sell goods.

The salesman was not a local, so the Lu family naturally lost the news of Lu Jiaomei.

Back then, Hu's eyes were almost lost from crying, but no matter what, he could still live.Lu Jiaomei ran away with someone and left a mess. Fortunately, before she had time to get engaged, the Lu family's family worked together to cover up and conceal the matter.

According to the outside world, Lu Jiaomei married a businessman from out of town, and followed her husband to live elsewhere.

But for so many years, Lu Jiaomei hadn't come back, and some people in the village guessed what happened.But after all, it has been so long, and no one will mention her.

It is not surprising that this person who disappeared for many years suddenly returned.

Lu Jiaomei was sixteen when she left, and now eight years have passed.

Lu Jiaoyue was also very surprised, she vaguely remembered this cousin, this cousin was seven years older than her, and she was nine years old when she left.

However, because she lived two lifetimes, Lu Jiaoyue didn't have a deep impression of her. She only remembered that this cousin was very handsome. At the beginning, many young people in the village liked her, and then she was very good at saying that the elders in the family mentioned her. It's smiling.

"Now the big house is going to turn around. My daughter is back, and she brought back a lot of money. For a few days, the old couple were smiling, and the big room's couple were also full of joy." Qiao couldn't tell what it meant. smacked his lips.Looking at her expression, she was a little envious, but also a little disdainful.

"That's also a blessing for others." Mrs. Mei didn't know what to say, so she could only say this.

"Isn't it a blessing? Although a man is dead, he can't keep people rich. I think this village will be lively again recently. When Meizi came back that day, the big carriage she was riding in, except for our Yue'er man, was also popular in the village." It's the second share. This is rich, but he's still a widow. There are quite a few bachelors in our village who haven't married their wives." Qiao said with a smile.

Mrs. Mei scolded her: "Keep some morals, after all, we watched them grow up."

Qiao curled her lips in disdain, "Second sister-in-law, believe it or not, this girl is a monster. I don't want to see her for what she did back then. Even if she came back with a layer of gold paint this time, I still don't want to see her." , don’t spoil my Er’er.”

Ever since Lu Jiaoxing went to Du's house, Mrs. Qiao has treated Lu Jiao'e to get close, and she also feels regretful, and doesn't want to spoil another daughter, so Mrs. Qiao now treats Lu Jiao'e very carefully.This is the mother and daughter, a piece of her body fell off, this kind of heart can't help but get close, usually when Qiao Shi and Mei Shi talk, Mei Shi is my Yue'er at every turn, and Qiao Shi is my E'er.

"It's fine, it's fine, it doesn't matter to us anyway, the blessing is theirs, and the misfortune is also theirs, it has nothing to do with us."

Qiao slapped her hands and said with a smile: "That's not the case, the second sister-in-law is still transparent. Well, I'm chatting with you, and I have to go home and cook."

"Eat at home at noon, and bring the third child and the two children over." Mrs. Mei kept her.

"No, what's the point of such a big family coming here?" Qiao declined.

Mrs. Mei didn't keep her anymore, neither of them was a pretentious person, and no one would deliberately be polite to anyone.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Jiaoyue also planned to go home for dinner.

Before leaving, Mrs. Mei was still complaining to her: "I don't want to give you a bite of food, so I have to go back to eat."

"I guess Mrs. Cheng has already cooked the meal. If I don't go back to eat, it's a waste of things." Now it's hot, and things can't be kept.

"You and Jinzi are really too polite. There is no one in his family, so we treat him as our own son. We used to eat well here. When he came back, you guys started the fire yourself. Now It’s because we know that Jinzi is a sensible person, but those who don’t know think he’s separated from the family.”

Lu Jiaoyue smiled: "You said he is sensible, my daughter should also be sensible. Well, mother, I am married, although others don't know, but eating at home every day is not enough. There is no need for people to say that brother Jin is our door-to-door son-in-law. Besides, although elder brother and sister-in-law don't care, we can't ignore it. We just come here every now and then for a meal. How can we come every day? It's ridiculous. "

Mrs. Mei pulled her face, "You didn't eat for nothing. Every time Jinzi brought things home, I didn't see you say anything."

"That's for honoring you and my father. Well, I won't tell you anymore, I'm going back." Without giving Mei Shi a chance to hold her back, Lu Jiaoyue walked away with her stomach full.

Ever since Lu Jiaomei came home, the lives of the Dafang family have undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the past, there were three meals a day, two thin meals and one dry meal, and the dry meal was coarse grains.Nowadays, what I eat every day is dry, and it is still fine grains.Lu Jiaomei disliked the food at home, saying that her throat was worse after eating coarse grains, so she spent money to buy several bags of fine grains for her family.

Dafang's family is cheerful all day long, and Mrs. Hu feels that her newborn grandson is prosperous in her family. He comes out first, and her daughter comes back later.What about widows, widows are rich and rich.

For many days, people came to the door of Da Fang's house, some came to see something strange, and some came to inquire about Lu Jiaomei's return after hearing that Lu Jiaomei had returned.

Hu's face was full of smiles, and he confessed to everyone without hiding anything.

The son-in-law died, and the daughter was alone and had no children, so she came back alone and planned to take root in the village in the future.

But in a few days, the whole village knew that the eldest granddaughter of the Lu family had returned, not to mention that she had brought a large amount of property with her.Those who don't have a daughter-in-law at home can't help thinking about it, what about widows, widows are rich, especially Lu Jiaomei is a good person, she is not very old, she is only in her twenties today.

As a result, Dafang's family became even more lively, and there were many aunts and aunts who came to visit on weekdays.

Ever since Lu Jiaomei came back, she has been living in seclusion, and the first time she went out for a walk was when she came to Erfang's house.

Seeing Lu Jiaomei who came to her door, Mei was a little surprised.

It is impossible for Mrs. Hu to misunderstand the conflict between Dafang and her own daughter, so why is she here this time?

But no matter what, the visitor is a guest, especially Lu Jiaomei was raised under Mei's care at the time, and what happened in the big house has nothing to do with her, so she was invited in.

Lu Jiaomei had an oval face and willow-leaf eyebrows, and a pair of watery almond eyes, just when a woman is at her best, just like that sweet and delicious peach, full of juice.

After she sat down, she was still looking around. Seeing Mrs. Mei looking at her, she probably felt that she was being rude, so she smiled embarrassedly, "Second Aunt's house is really grand, probably the first in our village."

People like to listen to good things, so Mei Zi felt very comfortable hearing these words. After all, she is not an arrogant person. She said politely: "No matter how repaired the houses of the country people are, they are not as good as those in the city. Mei Zi came back from outside. , I must have seen a lot of good things, but don't bury Second Aunt again."

"Why? Although I have seen a lot outside, I still feel that home is good and kind. Even the big locust tree at the head of our village looks very kind." After a few gossips, Lu Jiaomei said Asked as if chatting: "I heard that Yi Xiaozi got married, and Yue Yatou also married. I heard from my father that Yue Yatou is married in our village. It seems that she is still with the second aunt's house. Why didn't I see her?"

"Yue'er is pregnant now, it's still early, and she's probably still sleeping."

Lu Jiaomei hastily apologized: "It's also because I came early, thinking that there are few people in the village early in the morning, so I don't want to go out and be pointed at by others. After all, I am a widow, so I don't think I will be disgusted when I come to my second aunt's house." , let me in, but didn't push me out."

Mei couldn't tell whether her words were self-effacing, or if she really thought so, so she could only deal with it with a haha.While the two were talking, Lu Jiaoyue walked in with her belly outstretched.

Lu Jiaoyue didn't recognize Lu Jiaomei at first, it was only when the other party smiled and called "Yue girl" that she realized it.how to say?Lu Jiaomei still looks the same as before, but her dress and manners are different from before.Although she was beautiful in the past, she was just a country girl, but now she looks different from a country girl when she looks at her appearance.

Lu Jiaomei looked at Lu Jiaoyue with surprise in her eyes.

This cousin has been a beauty since she was a child, but now that she has grown up, it is even more amazing.With snowy skin and black hair, almond eyes and red lips, Lu Jiaomei has been outside for so many years, and she is not without experience. To be honest, she has never seen anyone more beautiful than this cousin.

He obviously has a full stomach now, but he doesn't look bloated at all, and his complexion is also very good, red as white as oil. It looks like the kind of person who is living a very happy life.

Lu Jiaomei couldn't help touching her face, then stood up to meet her and said, "The days go by so quickly, in the blink of an eye, the moon has grown so big, she's almost a mother."

"Sister Meizi." Lu Jiaoyue called out like she did when she was a child.

Lu Jiaomei clapped her hands with a smile, and said: "You still remember your sister Meizi, I thought, maybe you forgot me, remember when I left, you were only nine years old. Look at your belly , about five or six months? When was the birth?"

Mrs. Mei continued: "It's less than six months, this girl is unlucky, she's rushing to have a baby at the coldest time."

Lu Jiaomei said with a very friendly look: "How could you be unlucky? Yue'er saw that she was a very lucky person. The child came as soon as he wanted to. We adults can't control it." .”

These words made Mei's mother and daughter smile all over their faces, this Lu Jiaomei didn't change from her old demeanor at all, but now she is more eloquent than before.Although I was a little puzzled about her reason for coming, I didn't have the nerve to ask it in person.

Naturally, I would stay for lunch at noon, and I also met with other members of the Erfang family. When Lu Jiaomei left, Lu Guangyi was still a half-grown kid. Now that everyone is married, naturally, he also took out the big sister's Look like making fun of him.

After going back and forth, the second family and the family have been wooed as before, without mentioning the conflict between her natal family and here, as if it doesn't exist.

After eating, Lu Jiaomei also stopped by Zhou's house to have a look, and she often said some warm words to Lu Jiaoyue.

After sending her away, Lu Jiaoyue couldn't help but beat her back.

Mrs. Cheng said from the side: "This man is really a lively person."

No!
Lu Jiaomei returned home with a smile all over her face. Seeing her coming in, Mrs. Hu asked, "Where did you go? You didn't even eat lunch at home. Your father and grandfather asked me several times."

"I went to my second uncle's house, and I also went to Yueyatou's house along the way."

Mrs. Hu had expected it a long time ago, and when she heard this, her face became even darker, "What are you doing at their house?!"

Lu Jiaomei glanced at her with a smile, and said: "So I said, mother, you are stupid. The second uncle's family has made a fortune, so you want to join in. You are good, you will offend the whole family."

After returning, Hu naturally talked about the conflict between her family and the Erfang family, but she said it from her own standpoint. In her mouth, the Erfang family was naturally disgusting and hateful.

But who is Lu Jiaomei?If the whole family knows about the Hu family, she is the only daughter. Although she has been away for so many years, she can still feel a little bit of the Hu family's context.

Curiosity naturally arose in her heart, and she wanted to see what the second uncle's family was like after making a fortune from her mother and forgetting her brother, and the husband of the local ruffian that Lu Jiaoyue married.

I never thought that Erfang's family was really doing well. The house was newly built, it looked bright and decent, and the clothes Second Aunt wore were also of good material.You must know that this is not going out to visit relatives, and no one will wear good clothes while doing things at home. Since they wear that way, they must be like that at ordinary times.

Not to mention the Zhou family. Although Erfang's house is better than other houses in the village, it is not comparable to his son-in-law's house.Especially the furnishings in the house, Lu Jiaomei is someone who has seen the world, and knows that the rich families usually decorate the house in this way.

That's why people's minds are so strange. Originally, she was going back to her hometown after being clothed in clothes. During the days when she returned home, her family and villagers flattered her very much. Lu Jiaomei was a little cocky.But when she suddenly saw a family whose life was no worse than she used to even if they were not in the city, this person was still the little girl in her eyes, and her mind became a little subtle.

Speaking of this, Hu also regretted it.But this kind of thought rarely pops up. When she thinks about it, she really didn't do anything to make people angry, but the second room and her family deliberately made things difficult for her.

"What did I do? Don't say that Lu Minghai and Mrs. Mei are still mud-legged, even if they weren't mud-legged, I wouldn't curry favor with them!" I wanted to reprimand my daughter, but seeing her like that, the words of reprimand came naturally. Not exported.Especially since the family spends all their daughter's money recently, the Hu family has no confidence.

Lu Jiaomei didn't bother arguing with her mother about this matter, so she changed the topic: "I went to my second uncle's house this time, but I didn't see Yue'er man. You said he was a rogue, but I don't think he looks like him at home."

Mrs. Hu had never been to Zhou's house before, so she naturally didn't understand why it didn't look like it, so she said perfunctorily: "He seems to have changed his career to do business now, and he is rarely seen in the village on weekdays. It is said that he has been traveling for a while gone."

Lu Jiaomei snorted, and was about to say something, when suddenly there was a burst of cursing from the east chamber.

She couldn't help frowning, and said to Hu: "You don't care about that surnamed Qiu, but she gave birth to a son. Who really thinks she is a rich grandma? She yells at home all day long, and she is not afraid of being laughed at. .”

This so-called yelling and shouting is naturally aimed at Xiao Hu.

Qiu Cuihe remembered that she hated Xiao Hu for causing her to give birth prematurely, so she tossed Xiao Hu every day, either because she thought the water she served was cold, or because she thought the food she cooked was not good, so she scolded her every now and then, and often hit her with her job bowl .

No, it's noisy again.

"It means that the food in this house fell from the sky, isn't she the one who made such a fuss?" Lu Jiaomei said again, her brows filled with disgust.

Hu naturally knew what her daughter was thinking, and didn't dare to provoke her to speak for Qiu Cuihe, so she said perfunctorily: "I'll talk to her, I can't get used to her and she's out of shape."

Having said that, she didn't hear anything for a while after she went out, but there was no more scolding from the east chamber.

Lu Jiaomei snorted, turned her head and went to lie down on the kang.

In the east chamber, Mrs. Hu licked her face and wiped off the food on her face. She didn't look at her mother-in-law who was leaning over to persuade Qiu Cuihe, picked up the bowl on the ground, and went out with a wooden face.

After the Dafang family was lively for a while, it became calm again.

As Qiao said, there are many people who hit Lu Jiaomei's attention, but Lu Jiaomei has always adopted an evasive attitude and rarely goes out on weekdays.This has happened many times, and everyone knows that Lu Jiaomei has no intention of remarrying for the time being.Those who were eager to get married all withdrew their minds, but there are some bachelors who can't marry a wife, they are still daydreaming.

But no matter what, because of Lu Jiaomei, Dafang saw the potential to turn around.Gradually, the house was not as deserted as it used to be, and many people came to the house on weekdays.

But all of this has nothing to do with the second room and the family, and it has nothing to do with Lu Jiaoyue.

Lu Jiaoyue raised her baby at home, and the second-bedroom family lived their lives step by step.The family is so busy, who has the time to care about others.

After the autumn harvest, the weather gradually started to get colder.

As early as after the autumn harvest, the Liu family handed over the rent.[-]% was handed over, and [-]% was kept by the family, which is the price for ordinary tenants.Of course, there are seven to three points, but generally, if it is not a last resort, no one will go to the land of someone like Dian to plant.

With Zhou Jin not at home, Lu Jiaoyue couldn't handle so much food, so she had to bother Lu Minghai and his son.In particular, we have to pay taxes, which is another matter.

But now that the family has plenty of staff, Lu Minghai can do it all by himself.After paying the tax, Lu Jiaoyue didn't sell the leftover food, so she stayed at home to eat by herself.She also took half of it to her natal family, and the second bedroom couple didn't want it, but Lu Jiaoyue insisted on giving it, saying that Zhou Jin had explained it before he left, and it was considered as food expenses for her previous stay at home.

The couple were helpless, and they couldn't bear the daughter who cheated when she saw that she couldn't win, so they had no choice but to accept it.

It was getting colder day by day, seeing that Lu Jiaoyue's delivery date was approaching, but Zhou Jin never came back.

Mei was a little anxious, but Lu Jiaoyue, a daughter-in-law, was very calm, saying that Zhou Jin would definitely come back before she gave birth, and he promised her.

Having said that, she was actually quite anxious, and couldn't help but wonder if something happened to him on the way.

That night, in the middle of the night, Lu Jiaoyue cried out for pain.
