The fertile farm girl in the portable space

Chapter 17 The Secret Recipe for Having a Son ([-])

The old lady got more and more excited as she babbled, she simply sat down on the steps in front of the main room, patted her thighs, and cried loudly: "What crime did I do! Our Hai family will have no heirs! I'm dead!" , how can you have the face to see your father! Why don't I just kill you right now!"

"Mother, please don't!" Hai Rui was shocked.

"Son..." The old lady wiped away her snot and tears, and said with whirling eyes, "If you are really filial to your mother, give birth to a big fat boy, so that your mother can hold her head up in Qingshui Village. !"

"Yes, mother. I understand. I listen to mother." Hai Rui assured the old lady earnestly, but this is indeed a difficult matter. He glanced at Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Chen shrugged slightly. , sobbed twice, and lightly turned his gaze elsewhere.Xiao Xiangcai hugged Chen's leg, looking at her father's pitiful and ridiculous appearance, she couldn't laugh or cry.

After the new year, the days are like the flowing water of the Yudai River in the village, rushing away.In the blink of an eye, another six years have passed, and that bastard can also run away after the coriander.This year, Coriander is also six years old. She can run and jump, and she can speak clearly.

And for the past six years, the old lady has not stopped tossing. She often goes to the Bei'an Temple in Yufeng Mountain to burn incense and worship Buddha, ask for some fairy remedies, and force Chen to drink it, saying that it will ruin her son.And those folk remedies heard in the village, she made them one by one for Mrs. Chen to eat, but no matter how good others said, Mrs. Chen had no effect after drinking them, and her stomach was still flat.The so-called fairy prescriptions that I asked for were actually incense ash from the temple. I wrapped them in paper and took them home. I washed them with water and let Mrs. Chen drink them, but they didn't work.The incense is dark gray and thick, like a sesame paste. At first, I didn’t know what the little coriander was. I often saw her mother drinking it, so I thought it was delicious. When my mouth was greedy, I took advantage of Xu’s inattention. Picked up the bowl and took a sip.

"Bah, bah, bah, bah, it's so bad! Mother, water... Bah, bah... water..." Coriander took a sip, jumped up so badly, frowned, and vomited for a long time, making Xu Shi "funny" Hehe" Zhile.While giving her water in distress, Mrs. Chen laughed and said, "Silly girl. This is incense ash, it's not good to drink!"

"Mom, then why are you drinking it?" Coriander didn't understand, "It's such a bad drink!"

"In order to give birth to a little brother for you!" Mrs. Chen stroked the little head of the coriander, on which the coriander had already grown thin, yellow hair, and felt fluffy, she was a little yellow-haired girl.

"In order to give birth to a younger brother, mother has to drink such a nasty thing, I don't like my brother anymore!" Xiangcai raised her chin and shook Chen's arm and said, "Mother, don't give birth!"

"Sister Xiangcai! Sister Xiangcai!" Er Danniang's childish voice came from the yard.

"Silly girl... go and play with your bastard brother."

"Who wants to play with that stinky bastard!" Coriander's little nose wrinkled slightly, and her little mouth pouted.Coriander has a characteristic. When it gets angry, its nose will wrinkle slightly, wrinkled like a small soup dumpling.

Chen squeezed her little nose lovingly, and said with a smile: "Who gave you the chicken soup you ate before? Who gave you the maltose yesterday?"

"It's my Aunt Liu..." Xiangcai smiled embarrassedly, scratched her head and said, "Okay, I'll help her bring that stinky egg!"

"That's so cute..." Mrs. Chen saw the coriander bouncing out to find Erdan, and a loving smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

In the evening, Coriander came back reluctantly from Da Liu's house, holding two corners of her clothes in her small hands, and some small sweet fruits and candied fruit were stuffed in the hem of the clothes bulging.

"Look, mother, my Aunt Liu brought me so many delicious things..." Coriander happily entered the yard, and said crisply and loudly.

After hearing the sound, Mrs. Chen poked Xiangcai's forehead and said, "Greedy girl! There are guests at home, so I'm not afraid of being laughed at."

Only then did Xiangcai see her grandma, her father, and a strange man sitting in the yard. He was wearing a clean green cloth robe, with fair complexion, kind eyes, clear facial features, and a slight smile. He was very friendly. There is also a medicine box.

"Why are the braids all loose?" Mrs. Chen smoothed the yellow hair of the coriander with her fingers, braided the braid, and said angrily, "Like a little crazy girl!"

Coriander just stared at the strange man, her eyes turned darkly, the Hai family has never had much contact with the neighbors in Qingshui Village, who is this person?
"Mother, who is this uncle?" Coriander pointed at the strange man.

"Cough... you ignorant child!" The old lady scolded, "Dr. Li was also pointed at by you?"

"It's okay, old lady." Doctor Li pulled Xiao Xiangcai with a smile, hugged her on his lap, and said softly, "I'm Doctor Li Shizhen."

With this sentence, the shocked little coriander almost slipped off Li Shizhen's lap.

"Li Shizhen! Are you the famous doctor Li Shizhen?" Xiao Xiangcai was surprised, and stared at his face closely, wanting to see the difference between the faces of celebrities and ordinary people.

"Oh, you know me?" Li Shizhen raised her eyebrows with interest.

"Yeah." Coriander nodded sharply, thinking, I've seen your name in history books hundreds of years ago.

"Son!" The old lady's eyes narrowed into crescents happily, "This Doctor Li is a well-known doctor in ten miles and eight villages, and the descendants of our Hai family depend on him!"

"Yes." Hai Rui nodded, and said politely, "I'm sorry to trouble Dr. Li."

Coriander snickered, no matter how famous a doctor Li Shizhen is, how can he guarantee that he will have a son?

Sure enough, Li Shizhen smiled and waved her hands repeatedly: "I didn't say that Mrs. Zun would definitely have a son. I don't have that ability!"

The old lady hastily said: "Doctor Li is too modest, just take a look for my daughter-in-law, why did her belly stop moving after she gave birth!"

"Naturally." Li Shizhen smiled, put down the parsley, and took Chen's pulse seriously. After walking around the East and West rooms, she understood what was going on.

"Is there something wrong with your body?" Hai Rui asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, Madam is in good health. Madam is not the problem. I'll prescribe a prescription for you and just prescribe the right medicine!" Before leaving, Li Shizhen picked up a pen, wrote a prescription, and handed it to Hai Rui with a mysterious smile.

When Hai Rui opened it, his face turned red, and he still folded the prescription and put it away.

The old lady stretched her neck behind Hai Rui and weighed her feet to look at the prescription. In fact, she didn't know any words at all, she was just impatient.The old lady seemed to have seen Dabai's grandson, and she couldn't close her mouth, so she thanked her a thousand times and kept Li Shizhen for dinner.

For dinner, we make dumplings.In the courtyard outside, Li Shizhen and Hai Rui were chatting about each other's aspirations, while the old lady, Xiao Xiangcai and Chen Shi were making dumplings in the kitchen.The dumpling wrappers are made by the old lady with a rolling pin. The skin is thin and tough, and the filling is filled with vegetables. The old lady would like to add some meat to thank Dr. Li, but unfortunately the family can’t afford a piece of meat.Mrs. Chen crushed the green vegetables, put them in a porcelain basin, added some salt and stirred them, then served them on the round wooden table in the kitchen, and several people sat down to wrap them up.
