Traversing the good life of a peasant woman

Chapter 64

On the way back, Wen Yue took Fang Dachuan to a grocery store, and they bought three catties of sticky sorghum rice noodles and Jiangmi noodles. Of course, red beans were also indispensable, and finally bought three catties of white sugar with a wave of her hand. .Now that the materials are fully prepared, Wen Yue thinks that she must make a possible Su Ye Cake for her family to eat.

In such ancient times, if there is any seasonal plant food, you have to hurry up and eat it. As long as it is a few days in the evening, it will get old quickly and can no longer be imported.Craving out-of-season vegetables? !Yes, but unfortunately, because I am a commoner, I don't have this qualification.

It's not that Wenyue has never thought about trying to grow those out-of-season vegetables, but the cost of growing out-of-season vegetables is too high, and it's not as simple as she imagined.And she also learned that even those high-ranking noble families don't often have this kind of food.Thinking of the difficulty of doing this, Wen Yue quickly gave up. What she was most afraid of was that it would make their family more conspicuous after the plant was planted.

After returning home, Wen Yue began to prepare for making Su Ye Cake, and arranged for Fang Dachuan to find some fresh Su Ye to bring back, while she and Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li made preparations together.In order to prevent Mrs. Zhao from being reluctant to add sugar to the red beans, Wen Yue rushed to make red bean paste stuffing. In fact, she did nothing wrong. When Mrs. Zhao watched her add a lot of sugar, her eyelids began to feel distressed. Twitched.

Several times, she wanted to ask Wen Yue to let go less, but because of the incident with her previous colleagues, Zhao always felt that she was so short when facing Wen Yue, and she panicked in her indebtedness.The hesitation on her face has always been seen by Wen Yue in her heart. After waiting for a long time, she did not speak to persuade her. In order not to make the old lady feel too uncomfortable, Wen Yue had no choice but to persuade her by herself: "Grandma, don't feel bad. , This time I didn’t know what to do, I put too much, I will definitely pay attention next time.”

Seeing that Wen Yue spoke first, Mrs. Zhao then answered: "Yue Niang, grandma knows that our family's life is better now, but we still need to save some money. You will have children in the future. Use There are so many places for money? You must marry a girl and marry a wife, don’t you think?”

"Well, I see, grandma, I must pay attention." Wen Yueji agreed meekly. Seeing her being so obedient, Mrs. Zhao also felt that she had gained face, and her mood improved a lot.

After the suye cake was steamed, Mrs. Zhao picked up ten pieces of sorghum rice noodles and ten pieces of Jiangmi noodles, and asked Dachuan to send them to Aunt Sun's house.Mrs. Zhao often said that the life of the family is better now, let alone forget the help that Aunt Sun's family gave them when they were in the most difficult time.Wen Yue always couldn't figure out, how did such a sensible Zhao family raise such an asshole son as Fang Tongye?
After Fang Dachuan came back from Sun Si's family, the Fang family's dinner also started. Now that the weather is hot, almost every family's dining table in the village is set in the yard.During the meal, Fang Dachuan said that when he went to Aunt Sun's house, he caught up with Aunt Sun's eldest daughter-in-law walking in the yard, but none of the twenty Suye cakes fell into the hands of Fourth Aunt Sun, and all of them were taken by Aunt Sun. She took it into her house.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao shook her head and said, "That Jin'e, since she was pregnant with this child, she hasn't stopped for a day. Your fourth aunt Sun is the same, so what if it's a boy or a girl? Anyway She has no shortage of grandchildren now, and she has been holding back just because of that stomach, I think if Dong Jin'e can't give birth to a son, their family may be in trouble by then."

Wen Yue thought that the biggest obstacle for her going to the shopkeeper might come from Man'er, but she didn't expect that Man'er's attitude towards Wen Yue's departure was unusually calm, and even waved goodbye to her proactively.This time, Wen Yue didn't feel so happy, so she was not depended on by her children, did she do something wrong?Maybe it was the first day, Man'er didn't understand what happened, so he would be reluctant to part with it tomorrow?
As a result, the next day, Man'er was still happily sending Wen Yue out in Da Chuan's arms. I'm afraid they won't recognize her.

Wen Yue's sour thoughts did not escape Fang Dachuan's eyes. One night, when Wen Yue looked at Man'er and sighed unwillingly again, Fang Dachuan finally said: "Yue Niang, are you jealous with the child?" What about?"

Seeing the smile in Fang Dachuan's eyes, Wen Yue curled her lips and said, "Look, you're so proud, you're happy that Man'er is entangled with you and not me, aren't you?"

Fang Dachuan suddenly realized: "Hey, so this is jealous of me? I didn't know that I made you mad for so many days, my wife, and apologized to you for my husband here!"

"Stop being so glib here, I really don't like it!" Wen Yue sat up, looked at Fang Dachuan aggrievedly and said, "Dachuan, why do you think I'm such a child? Don't pester me at all, stick to me." Me, when I saw you again in your arms, my heart was really sore, as if I had been abandoned."

Seeing that Wen Yue's eye circles were red, Fang Dachuan smiled in his heart, sat up and wrapped Wen Yue in his arms: "You, you really think too much, Man'er is still young, how can she know so much, I'm afraid of you I’m worried that I haven’t told you all the time. Soon after you left, she started crying and looking for you everywhere. I guess when you left in the morning, the child regarded it as a game. You didn’t see when you came back at night, Mother kept saying that she was so happy, no one can replace her as a mother."

"Really?" Wen Yue asked, sniffling her nose.

"It's true, can I still lie to you?" Seeing that Wen Yue still didn't believe it, Fang Dachuan swore immediately.

Only then did Wen Yue feel more comfortable, and then she fell into Fang Dachuan's arms with some embarrassment, and muttered, "Dachuan, am I being too selfish, just because I love Man'er, I feel that I am in Fang Dachuan's arms?" I can't get the same love, so I feel uncomfortable and care about with a child."

"You just know! It's because you take the child too seriously. I didn't say anything. Ever since you had Man'er, you've put all your attention on her, and you've always been indifferent to me." Now you can see that the best person in this world is me, and I will be the only one who will accompany you for the rest of your life. The children are not bad, but how can any husband and wife be reliable? So from now on, you have to treat me better, hear?"

"Understood, the child's vinegar is also eaten!" Wen Yue blushed and murmured.

Mother Fang brought the meaning of Miss Zhu's family, saying that everything is up to Wen Yue, as long as the clothes can be embroidered before August [-]th.Wen Yue didn't delay, since she knew that Man'er was crying at home during the day because she missed her, Wen Yue took the dress back home. Although it took more thought, Wen Yue wanted to spend more time with her daughter. Moon is still very happy.

"Yue Niang, see what I bought back?" Fang Dachuan led two sheep into the yard, and called Wen Yue excitedly.

Wen Yue peeped out of the window, and the other party Dachuan gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay, I bought it if I said I would buy it, but why are there two?"

"Come out and have a look." Seeing that Wen Yue didn't intend to come out to see at all, Fang Dachuan yelled again. These days, Wen Yue sat in the room with her head bowed and embroidered all day long, and Dachuan was always afraid that she would hurt her body.

Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li in the room also heard the conversation between Fang Dachuan and Wen Yue, but Man'er was the first one to come out of the room.When he saw the two lambs, the child who never knew what fear was was rushed straight over and reached out to touch them.

Mrs. Zhao followed behind and said worriedly: "This child, I don't see that she has anything to be afraid of. Yesterday I was picking vegetables and there was a snail. She was not afraid, and she fell to her death in two strokes."

"It's good to be courageous. Girls are more courageous, and they won't be offended in the future." Li Shi and Zhao Shi had completely different ideas, and smiled and watched Man'er turning the lamb around.

Mrs. Zhao glanced at Mrs. Li, moved the corner of her mouth slightly, but did not speak.She understands what Li Shi is thinking. She has been bullied all her life because of her personality. She must like children with a tougher temper.It's just that whether you are courageous or not has nothing to do with whether you will be angry?In the days between husband and wife, how can you be more courageous?

"Dachuan, where did you buy this?" Wenyue has been thinking about bringing back a milk sheep for the past few days. Man'er is already big enough to drink some fresh milk properly. Drinking some milk is also good for her recovery.That's why she asked Da Chuan to pay more attention, and if there was a suitable ewe, she would buy it back.

Fang Dachuan drove the two sheep into the cowshed, picked up Man'er, who was about to rush into the cowshed, and said: "The Zhouqi family in the west of the village, his wife thinks raising sheep is tiring and doesn't make money, so this year I put all the sheep in the house." The sheep are all sold. I told Chengzi to let him keep an eye out for me, he called me in the field today, how about it, these two are enough!"

Wen Yue nodded and said: "Of course it's enough. I guess we can't finish drinking together from tomorrow. But Dachuan, have you learned how to milk milk?" Wen Yue suddenly thought of this important question, and opened her eyes wide. Xiang Fang Dachuan.

Fang Dachuan slapped his forehead, and said angrily: "I forgot about this, well, I'll go to Zhou Qi's house again, I'll learn."

"No, I will." Li, who had been standing aside, said with a smile. Seeing that Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan looked at her in disbelief, she smiled and said, "Why, don't you believe me? I really will, Mother, do you still remember, when Da Chuan was a child, there was a cow in our family who gave birth to a calf, didn’t I milk Da Chuan to drink?”

Mrs. Zhao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, there is such a thing, I remember you went to learn from someone." She recalled it carefully, and suddenly smiled and said, "You first went to I still remember when I was milking the cow, I didn’t squeeze out half a bowl after milking for a long time, and I still screamed at the milked cow. There's a little river flowing."

Mrs. Zhao's memories filled the small courtyard of Fang's family with laughter. Mrs. Li blushed and said, "Isn't that the first time for me? I was inexperienced and scared. You don't know. I was scared to death at the time." , I was afraid that the cow would come up and give me a hoof. I was afraid that you would laugh at me, so I never dared to say it!"

"You are just timid." Mrs. Zhao patted Mrs. Li's hand and said.

"Yeah, how else would I like Man'er's boldness! Mother, let's go inside and talk, it's too hot outside." Seeing that Zhao Shi was rarely happy, Li wanted to coax her to talk for a while.

But Mrs. Zhao didn't move. Instead, she squinted her eyes and looked out of the courtyard door: "Da Chuan, look, is the person who came to our house the second daughter-in-law of the Sun family?"

"Grandma, it's her." Fang Dachuan took a look and confirmed.

Mrs. Zhao slightly pushed Mrs. Li's arm, and said, "Ms. Da Chuan, go and pick her up. Why did I watch her leave in such a hurry? Is there something wrong at home?"

"Okay, mother." Mrs. Li agreed happily, and greeted her at the gate of the courtyard.

From a distance, Fang Xiaocui saw Li Shi standing at the door, shaking her hands and saying loudly: "Auntie, is grandma at home? My sister-in-law has had a stomachache for a long time, and the child hasn't come out yet. Now I have to look at it first." It's time to go. My mother is not sure, she wants to ask grandma to help us." While speaking, Xiao Cui had already arrived at the door of Fang's house.

Mrs. Zhao, who had been standing in the yard all the time, listened to her words, quickly walked up to her and asked, "What's the matter? I've already given birth to three, how can I have another one? No?" Is there another month?"

"I don't know. I suddenly had a stomachache last night. Just like what you said, it should have been born a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be born after such a long time. My mother said that you understand this. Many, I would like to ask grandma to take a look." Xiaocui said carelessly wiping the sweat off her face.

"That's okay, let's not delay, go and have a look." Mrs. Zhao became anxious when she heard what she said so seriously, and took her hand and walked out.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was about to go out, Wen Yue hurriedly said to Da Chuan: "Grandma is not in good health. I'm afraid she won't be able to walk after a while. You should catch up with the car and catch up."

"Well, then I'll go!" Fang Dachuan handed Man'er to Wen Yue, put on the ox cart and chased him out.

Mrs. Li sighed, and entered the room with Wen Yue, and said, "I don't know what's going on? It stands to reason that she is the fourth child, and it's just a matter of hours. After so long, I'm afraid It’s not good. Jin’e, it’s okay to spend money to find someone. The fortune teller said it was a boy, and it was because of this boy that she lost her job and made troubles at home all day. Either she thinks the food is not good or her stomach hurts , and don’t do any work, the angry Fourth Aunt Sun suffers from headaches every day. I see, if something really happened to this, it must have been done.”

After she finished speaking, she said "Bah bah" twice: "Look at my broken mouth, what are you talking about here? Bad spirits, bad spirits, and good spirits must be safe for mother and child, God bless you."

When Fang Dachuan and Zhao Shi came back, Wen Yue and the others had just finished dinner, seeing that Zhao Shi's face was not a little happy, Li Shi whispered: "Mother, but the child is not good?"

Mrs. Zhao sat on the stool, drank a large bowl of water, and rested for a long time before saying: "Jin'e is a standing student this time. When the child was tossed down, the child's umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck four or five times. The little face was bruised and purple. It's a pity, it's a boy, and she was still crying when I left."

"Ah!" Li Shi sighed, "It's a pity, fortunately, I'm young now, let's regenerate in the future." Although Li Shi also feels regretful, but in this age, there will be a few who can't stand up in any family, and that's herself. , didn't three of them disappear before and after, and only one of Dachuan survived? !So for this kind of thing, she is not particularly sad.

Mrs. Zhao waved her hand, "There's no chance. Jin'e got hurt this time. I think it's difficult for me to have children in the future."

Wen Yue listened to it and felt it was a pity that Dong Jin'e's only wish was to have a boy, so that she could hold her head high in Sun's family.It's good now, not to mention losing a son, she won't be able to have another child in the future, how can she accept it.I'm afraid it's this time, not necessarily how to make trouble at home!Thinking about Fourth Aunt Sun, she still tolerated her in every possible way during her pregnancy. No matter how arrogant she was, Fourth Aunt Sun endured it. Let's see this time, Fourth Aunt Sun may not know how to come back. Woolen cloth.

Fourth Aunt Sun is a kind person, but after all, she has a different temperament from Li Shi, and if she falls into her hands, Dong Jin'e's life in the future may not be very easy.In this day and age, mother-in-law tosses daughter-in-law, that is really hard to tell.
