Chapter 93 Let her have a baby!

The two aunts and sisters-in-law went up the mountain while talking, and Mei Hua'er came out of the shed. Seeing this, she rushed to ask about things.Sister-in-law Liu teased her and scolded with a smile, "You have no winks, Zhuzi is gone, and my boss is upset, if there is something we need, let's talk to Steward Zhang."

Mei Hua'er laughed and said, "I'm too busy." After saying that, the two turned their heads and entered the chicken house.Steward Zhang is sitting at a temporarily moved broken table and assigning tasks. Some of the men go up the mountain to chop wood, and some go to split stones. Each is led by two handymen. The women are also divided into teams and take turns to cook. Hetao mowed grass and weaved curtains, half-grown children went to collect firewood, and the youngest seven or eight children were also arranged for women to take care of them.

Sister-in-law Liu and Zhao Qingshan, the two chief executives inside and outside the orchard, were still a little unconvinced by the chief executive who suddenly ran out, but now they saw him sitting there drinking tea, writing the account books in one go, and casually You can come up with a solution, so you "bow down" without saying a word.

Naturally, Guanshi Zhang would not treat these two old men who had been serving in front of the master, and laughed at them for a while, then discussed trivial matters, and quickly arranged the food, drink, housing and transportation for all the staff.

Although it is unavoidably dry and cold at noon in winter, it is a little warmer than morning and evening.Dong Rong rejoiced that her sister-in-law came to accompany her on purpose, took the little girl to put the package, and then went to the kitchen to cook two delicious dishes by herself.

Needless to say, the braised pork is ordered by my sister-in-law. It is fat and fragrant, and it is really a good dish for dinner.But just eating this kind of dish is a bit monotonous. It happened that there were a few big red apples in the fruit plate, which were originally prepared to be cut into pieces to feed Guoguo. Come out, today is just used to make a simple delicacy.

After the braised pork was put into the pot, the slow fire simmered until the fragrance was overflowing. Dong Rong listened carefully to the slight crackling sound of the rice in the clay pot, and then nodded in satisfaction.Then start to peel and core the apples and cut them into one-inch pieces.Put an egg in a ceramic bowl, stir some potato powder into custard, and finally throw apple pieces in it and roll it around, and then it can be deep-fried in an oil pan to become crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

The second sister Cao ran over when she smelled the fragrance in the room, and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing again, why does it smell sweet?"

Dong Rong was afraid that the hot oil would burn her, so she smiled and pushed her away, "Don't come here to make trouble, if you really can't sit still, help me clear out the rice and braised pork."

"Okay." Second Sister Cao agreed, quickly opened the pot to serve the food, and happily flew around like a little butterfly, which made Dong Rong feel better as well.

After the apples are fried, a little base oil is left, and then the icing can be put on.Daqi’s icing sugar is not as white and crystal-clear as it is in modern times, and the sugar juice produced is thick in color. When you put down the fried apple pieces and roll them, it turns into a light red color.Take a piece and dip it in cold water, it tastes sweet and sour, crispy and fragrant.

Second Sister Cao ate three or four yuan, and then she was free to shout, "Sister-in-law, these apple pieces are so delicious, you must teach me how to make them."

"Okay." Dong Rong joked with a smile, "Sister-in-law will definitely teach you, and then when you get married, you can show off your skills with your in-laws."

"Oh, sister-in-law!" Second sister Cao blushed and said angrily, "I won't marry, I won't marry! From now on, I will come to sister-in-law's place every day to ask for delicious food. Even if sister-in-law bothers me, I won't leave!"

"Okay, okay, even if you eat a pig a day, my sister-in-law can afford it." The two aunts and sisters-in-law chatted and ate and drank, and soon their stomachs became full, and they both lay on the kang unwilling to get up.

Second Sister Cao leaned into her sister-in-law's arm, quietly feeling the warmth from her body, but her heart was extremely sour.Because of the weakness brought about by her womb, she was lying on the bed every day when she was a child and could not play around.But her father was working outside, her mother was busy with farm work and housework, and the only elder sister had a lazy and greedy temper, so her life was extremely lonely.

On the contrary, after my sister-in-law got married, she would often talk with her, draw beautiful embroidery patterns for her, and bring her snacks and fabric embroidery thread when she went to the city.She had worried countless times that her sister-in-law would leave the Cao family, but perhaps thanks to the blessing of the Buddha, her sister-in-law and her brother had a very good relationship, worked hard to earn money, and bought an orchard to settle down.Sometimes she would wake up happily at night, and she really treated her sister-in-law as her own sister.But my old lady and eldest sister...

"Sister-in-law, you and my brother... Well, when will you give me a little nephew?"

Dong Rong didn't hear her sister-in-law for a long time, and thought she was going to fall asleep after eating, but she was asked about it suddenly, so she replied vaguely, "Children are fate, and they will be born when they are born. Don't rush."

"Well, I want my sister-in-law to have three nephews and two nieces. The nephew will take care of the orchard for my sister-in-law when she grows up, and the niece will be able to play with me. I want to embroider the most beautiful clothes for them, sister-in-law, please give birth earlier, please." Okay?" Second Sister Cao became more and more joyful as she talked, and tried her best to persuade her, wishing that her sister-in-law would give birth to a child immediately.

Dong Rong felt a little strange, so she asked, "Second sister, tell your sister-in-law the truth. Have you heard gossip from someone in the village or at home?"

Second Sister Cao shrank her neck subconsciously, and replied in a low voice, "No..."

Dong Rong sat up and looked at her quietly without asking any questions.As expected, Second Sister Cao couldn't bear it, so she quickly got up and said cautiously, "It's not an outsider's gossip, but I heard my eldest sister and mother say before I came in the morning that they want to adopt a child under my brother's name..."

Dong Rong frowned, and sneered inwardly.Eldest Cao and her two husbands really had a good plan, and it was obvious that they came here for her family business.So why didn't I hear that they had this idea? Could it be that the Chen family came back and someone backed them up?
Seeing that her sister-in-law's face was not looking good, Second Sister Cao was so anxious that she was about to cry.She hugged her sister-in-law's arm and begged, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. My sister...my sister is a mess, and my mother didn't agree, and my father even scolded them. As long as you have a baby with my brother They don't dare to have a child... I like sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't hate me..."

Dong Rong couldn't see people shedding tears the most, not to mention that she had always liked her sister-in-law who was close to her, so she quickly reached out to wipe her tears and coaxed her, "You silly girl, why are you crying! My sister-in-law treats you like her own sister. How can I hate you? The family members probably think that your brother and I can't have children, so they have some small plans. Don't worry, when your brother comes back, we will have a baby for you to play with as a doll, okay?"

"Oh, sister-in-law!" The second sister Cao laughed out of tears, and said angrily, "How can a child play like a doll?"

"Then what do you want? If it's a cloth tiger, sister-in-law can't give birth?"

"The more sister-in-law talks, the more outrageous it is!" Second Sister Cao blushed with shame, she couldn't remember crying.Dong Rong laughed loudly, took her sister-in-law to clean up the dishes, and then went to the East Wing.

The boxes that Dong Ping brought back from Kyoto were opened one by one, and the second sister Cao was almost dumbfounded when she saw those exquisite fabric jewelry.She picked up a golden trousers and shook it on her sister-in-law's head, and pulled a piece of brocade to wear around her body, shouting from time to time, "Sister-in-law, this material suits your complexion. I will cut it tonight, and I will sew you a small jacket." It will be festive and beautiful when you wear it during the Chinese New Year.”

Dong Rong saw that the little girl's eyes were full of surprise and envy, without any hint of greed, and she fell in love with her even more.Reaching out to pick up a piece of red brocade and a set of silver jewelry, she stuffed them into her arms, and said with a smile, "You can take these two things home in a few days. The materials are produced in Su City, and they are most suitable for embroidering wedding dresses." You wear silver jewelry on weekdays, you are already a big girl, so don't be too clean on your hands and hair."

After finishing speaking, she took another set of red gold jewelry and put it in a box alone, explaining, "This set of red gold jewelry is also for your dowry, but it's too eye-catching to take out now. Sister-in-law will keep it for you first." , and put it back in your dowry list at a later time."

"Sister-in-law, this is too...too expensive, I can't take it." Although Second Sister Cao didn't know how much these clothes and jewelry were worth, she guessed that they were not cheap just by looking at the color of the satin and the style of the jewelry.She felt sorry for her brother and sister-in-law who didn't make money easily, and wanted to push it back.But girls are born with no resistance to these things. Although their hands are stretched out, the reluctance in their eyes is like a small hook, trying to pull back.

Dong Rong laughed so hard that her stomach almost twisted, the little girl looked so cute.Xu Shi, the second sister of Cao, also felt that she didn't agree with her heart, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a way to sneak in.Dong Rong quickly grabbed her and comforted her, "You can take what my sister-in-law gave you. Don't be rude, as if you treat my sister-in-law as an outsider. Besides, my sister-in-law still has jobs to do for you, and these are considered wages."

After finishing speaking, she dug out a few more pieces of fabric, "These fabrics are for parents, your brother, and my brother Ping to make new cotton gowns. You can see that the mountain is so busy, I can't figure it out." I'm free. If you're not afraid of being tired, you can help my sister-in-law."

"Okay." The second sister Cao really forgot the embarrassment just now, grabbed the material and replied, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, the storage is done quickly and well."

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law happily returned to the big kang in the Westinghouse, discussing styles, cutting materials, and were so busy that they just ate a quick bite of dinner.After staying until midnight and finally got into bed, the tired Second Sister Cao leaned against her sister-in-law and fell asleep almost immediately.

Dong Rong tucked the quilt up for the little girl, but she didn't feel sleepy for a long time. Originally, she came to this time and space suddenly, and the unfamiliar environment made her panic. Later, she saw Dong Ping, who was exactly like her younger brother, and found a reason for herself to live on. .As the days passed, Shazhu treated her with care and obedience in every possible way. The heart in her chest that was broken by the wicked man seemed to warm up slowly, and she gradually fell in love with Shazhu's sincerity and simplicity.

Sometimes she thinks, maybe this is why she came here inexplicably.But occasionally when I wake up in the middle of the night, the soul is still a little restless, like a rootless floating weed, unable to fall or leave, the feeling cannot be described in words.
