Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 18 Fang's Pregnancy

"It turns out that the shopkeeper's surname is also Fang, but it has the same surname as my mother, so Yuxian will not be polite, so I will call the shopkeeper's uncle Fang." "Uncle Fang, you are busy first. My father is still waiting for us at the market. Let me take my leave first. I will deliver the medicine directly in the future." Yuxian and her brother came out of Jishitang.

"Brother, why didn't you make a sound just now?" Yuxian was a little surprised, isn't her eldest brother that shameless person?
"At the beginning, I didn't open my mouth because I didn't understand these medicinal materials. Later, I was scared by the money you sold." Da Lang smiled bitterly: "We originally just wanted to coax you to play. You have been well-behaved since you were a child. Wanting to go up the mountain, I thought you just wanted to play, but I didn’t expect that the things we got back from playing around can really be sold, and they can sell so much. It’s only ten yuan to five hundred yuan. It’s a hard day now It’s only more than 20 cash for helping others, which is equivalent to more than 20 days’ wages.” Dalang thought for a while, and then said: “There’s also [-] cash for selling the thorn buds just now, sister, What's in your head?"

Yuxian smiled and teased her brother: "Brother, what I put here is gold." Holding Dalang's hand, "Brother, don't tell dad how much we sold for a while, okay?" She made up her mind that she was afraid that her father would say it after he knew about it.

Da Lang naturally understood what she was thinking, "Well, don't worry, I understand."

The two of them went back to the place where the fish was sold in the morning. Sanlang had already returned and was about to find them, "Brother, little sister, you are back and are about to find you. Let's go home quickly, we are about to find you." It's noon, and I'm hungry." Several people got into the car, and Tong Yunsong drove the ox cart to the house.

"Daddy, today's fish sold for 250 yuan, this is money, you put it away and give it to my grandma when you get home." Da Lang took out a small bag, which contained the money for selling fish.

Tong Yunsong took the money without saying a word, and put it directly in his arms. The money was quite a lot, and he didn't ask how much the prickly buds were sold for.But Xiaosan didn't hold back: "Brother, how much did we sell for wild vegetables?"

"It's sold for a hundred yuan, Xiaosan, don't say anything when you go home, let's break some more in the afternoon, and come to town tomorrow to figure out a way, and sell more before the vegetables grow up." Da Lang told Xiaosan, But there was no mention of selling medicine. "Father, do we have to hand over the money we sell vegetables to grandma?"

Tong Yunsong just wanted to say something, but when he thought about it, he felt wrong, "It's never happened before, don't tell me when you go back, you can keep the money, and buy some snacks and candies. They are old enough to make money. Okay." Tong Yunsong is a person who loves children very much.

"Okay, then let my sister take care of the money. I think she's quite sneaky in settling accounts. In the future, we will take care of my sister when it's useful." Turning around and blinking at Yuxian, "Sister, I'll take it when I get home later." Money for you."

Of course Yuxian understood what her brother meant, and there was still money for selling medicinal materials, so of course she had to go back and put it away.Yuxian thought of one more thing, "Father, can I leave it to the eldest brother to deliver the fish from the Jin family? Don't tell grandma when you go back, anyway, no one asked you to deliver the fish before." Let the brothers go , Of course, the money does not need to be handed over to the family.

After dinner, Fang took Yuxian and the others back to the Westinghouse, Dalang and the others still lived in the outer room, and Fang and his wife led Yuxian to live in the suite.Seeing her father chatting with Mr. Tong in the east room, Yuxian quietly called Da Lang into the inner room.Dalang handed Yuxian a small bag, which was the money for selling medicinal materials and wild vegetables today, almost six hundred cash.Yuxian said to Fang: "Mother, can you give me a better box?"

Fang was a little strange: "Xian'er, what do you want the box for?"

"Mom, I want money in a box." Yuxian put the small bag in front of Fang, "This is the money for me and my brothers to sell thorn buds and medicinal materials. Dad said I don't need to give it to grandma, so my brother asked me to put it away." Mom, can you give me a small box that can be locked?" You can't tell your father about buying medicinal materials, but you must tell your mother.

Fang opened the small bag, and the money inside surprised her. There were four strings of money in it, and there were some unstringed money, and there were about [-] unstringed money. "Yuxian, do you mean that this is the money you sell medicinal materials? Dalang, tell your mother the truth, right?" It's not that Fang doesn't believe in her children, but it's a lot of money. She is afraid that her children will go astray.

Da Lang told his mother about selling medicine today, and finally Da Lang said: "Mom, I was also scared by the money at first, but then I thought about it, we worked so hard to get it, what's the point?" Scared. At the beginning, it was just to make my sister happy. Who would have thought that I could sell it for so much money. Mom, we went to break a basket of thorn buds in the afternoon, and we will go to the town tomorrow, and we can sell it if we can Some." Dalang glanced at Yuxian, and said to his mother: "Mother, we will lead my sister into the mountains when we are free in the future. She knows a lot of herbs. The shopkeeper said that as long as there are herbs, go to him." Just give it away, we don’t want to miss such an opportunity. I hope my mother will keep it secret for us. The only one who knows medicinal materials in our village is my sister. It’s not that we are selfish, but we are not rich. Of course, we can’t tell others that the medicine in the mountains can be sold for money. Also, we want my sister to take care of the money from the sale, not because I am reluctant to give it to my mother. Over the years, my grandma has taken money from my mother, and my grandmother and aunt have given me a lot of money, but my grandma always tries to manage you. Yes. If the money is with you, it will cause a lot of trouble if grandma finds out."

Mrs. Fang heard what her son said was sound, and she knew in her heart that her son was right, so she said, "Okay, it's up to you. Dalang, Xianer, you are all grown up and know how to make money. Mother is really happy. This Let Xianer take care of the money. Mother believes that our little housekeeper can take care of it.” After saying that, she got up and went to the box on the west wall to find a box for Yuxian.After a while, two small wooden boxes with locks were found.Then he took out another bunch of keys, tried it, and opened one of them. "Yuxian, mother, let me put money in this box for you." It was a red sandalwood box with beautiful patterns hanging on it.

Yuxian took it, put all the money in, took the key from Fang's hand, and carefully put it in her small purse.Looking up, I saw another box that my mother took out, "Mother, what is that box for?"

"Mother doesn't know, it was given to me by your father's grandma, that is, your grandma before she died, but there is no key. There seems to be nothing in it, maybe it is to leave me a memory." As Fang said, he put the box away again. "Okay, it's getting late, Dalang, go to bed, isn't he going to town tomorrow? Yuxian put the box away, and go to bed too."

Yuxian didn't have any place to hide the box, so she put the box in the kang cabinet with some clothes on it.Then lay down and fell asleep.

Dalang and the others try to find a way to go to the town every morning. Their own ox cart cannot be used, so they have to walk from the village to the bridgehead of the bridge and wait. People from the two villages always go to the town to give others For two or three Wen, you can take a car into the town.After I came back, I went to break the thorn buds in the afternoon. After five or six days of being busy like this, I never went again.The thorn buds were sold for a total of 450 Wen, but they were not sold for such a high price in the next few days.Because they were afraid that the family members would find out, Dalang led Saburo to go with him every time, and they were the two who delivered the fish every two days, and of course the money for delivering the fish also belonged to Yuxian.Every time, Yuxian asked her brothers to bring back some food, because after the spring plowing was over, Mrs. Tong began to limit everyone's meals again, one pancake for adults and half for children.But Dalang and the others are all half-sized, and half a pancake is not enough.Yuxian often keeps her share for her brothers, this is not a solution, so Yuxian asks her brothers to buy some food and hide it, and then secretly take it out to eat when they are hungry at night, the six brothers and sisters lie on the kang Eating quietly is also an interesting thing. Many years later, Yuxian can still remember the situation at that time.

The weather was getting hotter, and the Dragon Boat Festival was coming soon, and Mrs. Tong asked Yunbai Tong to sell glutinous rice and zong leaves.Zong leaves are not produced here, they are all bought, and of course they are wrapped in oak leaves. Mr. Tong doesn't like them, so he has to buy them back.Early in the morning on the fourth day of May, Tong Yunsong went to pick up a net of fish again, and he was going to sell it in the town, because tomorrow is the holiday.Recently, the fish that were sent to the Jin family were nets cast by Da Lang himself. Sometimes when there were more fish, they dug the sand deeper in a shallow water, and then surrounded the stones so that small fish and shrimps could come in and out freely. But the big fish can't run out, so there is no need to worry about when there are few fish.

After breakfast, Tong Yunsong led Erlang and Xiaosan into the town.Da Lang wants to herd cattle, so little four and five must follow, and they can also dig some medicinal materials while herding cattle.

"Everyone, soak the glutinous rice and make zongzi in the afternoon." Mrs. Tong shouted from the room.This place calls glutinous rice Jiangmi.

"Hey, mother, I got it." Fang found a wooden barrel in the kitchen, poured rice into it, and was holding a ladle to scoop water out of the barrel. She felt dizzy for a while, and then felt sick, yes He vomited into the slop bucket but couldn't get anything out.

Seeing her mother vomit, Yuxian hurried back to the Westinghouse to take out the sour plums her brother bought for her two days ago, and handed them to Fang.

Fang took the sour plum and put it in his mouth, after a while it really became stronger, his face turned pale.After a little calculation, it turned out that there was no menstrual event for two months. I was busy farming and gardening these days, but I was negligent. I think it has been more than two months, and I only reacted at this time.Despite having six children, Fang is still very happy.

Seeing the faint joy on her mother's face, Yuxian guessed that her mother might have a baby, and she would soon have a younger brother or younger sister, so she was also happy for her mother. "Mom, take a rest first, and you will be working later."

This is Mrs. Qin coming out of the east room and entering the kitchen. Seeing Mrs. Fang sitting there, she was unhappy. "Boss, I told you to soak the rice, why are you still sitting, hurry up, there is still work to do."
