Yuanyang Farming Story

Chapter 51

Ever since she bumped into Xiaosi's daughter-in-law that day, Xiaoxiu has been thinking about her for several days, always worried that she will leave Xiaosi's son behind and remarry.A child without a father is already pitiful, and it would be even more pitiful if it lost its mother.But after waiting for several days, there was no news, so Xiaoxiu stopped paying attention.

The house was built quickly, and after the foundation was laid, it changed almost every day.The mother-in-law was very happy to see it, she helped Xiaoxiu to stand on the side and looked at the house. "Xiuah, my feet are inconvenient. I will live on the ground floor. The room on the east side is good." The good woman smiled very happily when she said this. This is the house built by her grandson-in-law.

Xiaoxiu took a look at the room Haopo pointed out, but she couldn't see anything. The house was not half the height of a person when it was up, so Xiaoxiu really couldn't tell how good it was.However, since the good woman said that she wants to live in that room, then follow it, and then help the good woman get some good furniture to match it, so that the living will be satisfactory.

Seeing the good woman and Xiaoxiu coming, the women who were working as helpers accosted: "The old lady is very lucky, the grandson-in-law has rented a house for you." The good woman was naturally happy when she heard that.Obviously very proud, but the good woman still has to decline: "Ah, it's all because their children are ignorant, and the married daughter splashed water, and my Xiaoxiu doesn't know how to help run the house! But Xiao Su is really good. Yes, everything has been thought out."

After standing for a long time, Xiaoxiu felt a little sore in her waist, so she supported her waist with one hand and looked forward to showing off to others.While watching, he also tapped his lower back with his hands, trying to make himself more comfortable. While doing so, he felt that an extra hand was helping him to tap his lower back. When he turned his head, he saw Xiao Su frowning and helping her. Knock yourself on the back. "Why did you come back so early today?"

Xiao Su didn't answer, but instead asked: "Is your back hurting badly? Do you want to go to the hospital tomorrow?" While talking, she helped Xiao Xiu to go back. "Go back to sleep for a while, and I'll bring you food to your room later, so you don't have to get out of bed to eat." Xiao Su guarded Xiao Xiu just like an old hen guarding her chicks. gone back.

"Good girl, I'll take Xiaoxiu back first. You should come to eat earlier too!" Before leaving, Xiao Su called out to the good woman, who was in the middle of a conversation, and replied casually: "Got it." Continue to chat with people.

Today, my mother-in-law has been stewing a pot of chicken soup since the morning. Not only is the soup fresh, but the meat is also rotten.After taking a nap in the afternoon, Xiaoxiu had already eaten a bowl of soup and ate a chicken leg.I still want to eat, but Xiaoxiu still wants to eat with everyone at night, so I don't have the nerve to fill another bowl.

As soon as Xiaosu came back, she could smell the smell of chicken soup, and she was very greedy: "Xiaoxiu, my mother's cooking is really good. I have been back for almost a year, and I am used to eating her cooking, and I will eat other dishes. It’s tasteless!" Xiaoxiu smiled and watched him play tricks: "Then you can eat more, and then learn from my good woman when you have time, I want to eat it, and you can cook it for me! Good?"

Xiaoxiu cooks rice and noodle is okay, but there is a problem with cooking. There is definitely no problem if it is cooked, but if it tastes good, it will waste a lot of things.That's why Xiao Xiucai said that Xiao Su should learn more from the good woman. "Okay, when I get busy opening the house, I'll learn a few things from my good woman. I'll cook whatever you want to eat then."

"Okay, then I'll remember everything. When the time comes, if you can't cook a good dish, I will punish you."

"What are you going to punish me for?" Xiaosu was joking with Xiaoxiu, and at the same time laid out the dishes and soup, and Xiaoxiu followed her with the bowls and chopsticks. "I, I will fine you not to go back to your room to sleep for three days!"

The young couple talked and laughed, waiting for the good woman to come back to have dinner together.During dinner, the good woman was still talking: "Xiao Su, I am really happy. The old woman is the most face-saving time. They are all saying that I am blessed, and I also think I am blessed. Otherwise, how could there be a little girl?" Show off this granddaughter, and then marry such a good grandson-in-law like you."

Xiaoxiu and Suquan smiled and said nothing, but seeing how happy she looked, she even ate half a bowl more for dinner and an extra bowl of soup.After dinner, Xiaosu decided to help Xiaoxiu go for a walk, and the good woman said: "You go, I will clean up at home. I will come back early."

In this way, Xiaosu and Xiaoxiu went out for a walk supporting each other, and met people who had just got off work or just returned from prison on the way.Xiaoxiu and Xiaosu greeted people obediently. After waiting, Xiaoxiu found out that she was not young. Except for a few older ones who wanted Xiaoxiu to be called someone, everyone else who called Xiaoxiu had to be called auntie. Kind of like that, but the most exaggerated thing is that someone still calls her grandma.

"Grandma, hug!" Xiaoxiu felt that she was going to convulse, seeing the child's innocent eyes, Xiaoxiu also had to bend down slightly, and patted the little thing's head.

Inadvertently passing by the community, seeing those haystacks, Xiaoxiu thought of Xiaosi's daughter-in-law again, "Xiaosu, now our family has four or five acres of land, can you come here?" Xiaoxiu feels a little distressed when she goes to work and has to go home to farm after work. Speaking of which, the rice, vegetables, and fruits produced in the space are enough to feed a family of three, and the quality is even better. !
Xiao Su didn't think anything of it. He had already developed his physical strength after serving in the army for several years: "Don't worry, it's just running business during the day, and it's not physical work. It's no problem to plant some fields at night." Xiao Su Looking up at the sky: "How about, let's go back, it's been a while since we came out, seeing how you're struggling, let's go back to sleep early."

At this time, the sky was already slightly dark, Xiaoxiu looked at the sky and nodded: "Okay, let's go back. Go back and pick some fruits to eat!" Although Xiaoxiu wants to pick some fruits in the space It can be picked off in one go, but Xiaosu doesn't want Xiaoxiu to use this function too much.Because Xiaosu didn't know if Xiaoxiu used these functions too much, would it cause any harm to her body.Therefore, most of the time, Xiao Su went up the tree to pick them.

Xiaosu supported Xiaoxiu: "What kind of fruit do you want to eat today?" There are many varieties in the space, so there are more choices.And now Xiaoxiu's taste is also changeable, so I always ask Xiaoxiu what she means before picking it once.Xiaoxiu thought for a while: "I kind of want to eat mulberry fruit, but I don't know if it's ripe."

Xiao Suxiao refers to what Xiaoxiu refers to as mulberry fruit, which is the fruit of the big mulberry tree on the red soil of the space.It's just that the mulberries on that mulberry tree have never matured, just like the grapes in the courtyard, they are always green.This made Xiaoxiu so greedy that she couldn't eat what she wanted. "Wait for some to go back and have a look. If they are ripe, I will pick them for you to eat. If they are not ripe, I will replace them with others."

Fortunately, Xiaoxiu has no obsession with what to eat, and if she can't eat it, she can just forget it.Because Xiaoxiu now deeply feels that she is very lucky.In this day and age, it is good to be able to eat so much food. Thinking about how Xiaoxiu’s mother told her that she could only eat a catty of oil a year when she was pregnant with Xiaoxiu, Xiaoxiu felt that she was already very good.

On the way back, Xiao Su held Xiao Xiu's hand, and Xiao Xiu looked at Xiao Su's extremely careful look and felt very loving: "I said, Xiao Su, as long as you serve the queen mother well, I will definitely give you a promotion. !" Xiao Su was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted: "My lady, Xiao Su will definitely serve you well. Hello Suzi!"

The two of them just laughed and went home, but a baby ran out halfway and almost rushed to Xiaoxiu. Fortunately, Xiao Su reacted quickly and pulled the baby away.When the person stood still and took a closer look, it turned out to be the child of Xiao Si's family, so Xiao Su asked, "Hu Zi, why don't you go home so late?"

Unexpectedly, Huzi grinned and cried: "My mother is sick, sick, I need...to find someone!" After hearing Huzi's words, Xiaosu and Xiaoxiu took Huzi home to watch.Huzi's house is not big, there are only two bungalows, and when you open the door, you can smell an unpleasant smell.Xiaoxiu smelled the smell and was about to vomit, so she waved her hand and said that she didn't want to go in, so Xiaosu found a stool and told her to do it, and then she took Huzi into the room to have a look.

Entering the room and lighting the lamp, Xiao Su turned around and saw the fourth daughter-in-law lying on the bed foaming at the mouth. Weak snort.So Xiaosu told Huzi: "Huzi, you stay here to see your mother, I will find someone to save your mother." Huzi nodded obediently.

After going out, Xiao Su didn't have time to say anything to Xiao Xiu, she just said: "Wait here for me." and ran away.Xiaosu first ran back and told the good woman that Xiaoxiu was at Xiaosi's house, and told the good woman to bring Xiaoxiu back quickly.Then I ran to the village chief's house to borrow a tractor.As soon as the village chief heard about this situation, he immediately went to shake the tractor.

It's just that when Xiaosu and the village chief sent the fourth daughter-in-law to the hospital, the fourth daughter-in-law was almost out of breath, and even after the doctor's efforts to rescue her, she still couldn't save her.Had to pull the person back again.Because Xiao Su had to go to work tomorrow, Xiao Su didn't stay to help out, so it was already three o'clock at night when Xiao Su came out of Xiaosi's house.

When I got home, I washed up lightly, and then carefully slept next to Xiaoxiu, but Xiaoxiu was still woken up: "Su, how is Xiao Si's wife?" Xiaosu yawned: "Huh?" He has not been rescued, and he has already been brought back from the hospital. Huzi is sleeping at the aunt’s house next door. Now there are two uncles in the next room at Xiaosi’s house. I will come back first tomorrow when I have to go to work.”

Xiao Su was really struggling, so he patted Xiao Xiu on the back, and hugged her in his arms: "Sleep, if you don't sleep, it will be dawn." Xiao Su was already sleeping while talking, but it turned out that Xiao Su Xiu couldn't sleep.I don't know if it's because I slept too much during the day, or something else.But seeing Xiao Su struggling, Xiao Xiu didn't move too much.Nestled in Xiaosu's arms, Xiaoxiu felt at ease, and slowly fell asleep.

The next day Xiaoxiu was still asleep when she heard the sound of Suo Nai in the distance.When Xiaoxiu got up, Xiaosu had already gone to work, and the good woman also went to Xiao's house to help.So Xiaoxiu took a back chair and sat in the yard basking in the sun.According to the custom, Xiaoxiu has a big belly, and this kind of funeral is not allowed to participate in Xiaoxiu, lest something dirty be stained.

So Xiaoxiu had no choice but to sit in the yard, listening to the sound of the lock, thinking of seeing the fourth daughter-in-law together a few days ago, Xiaoxiu felt that the fourth daughter-in-law really couldn't figure it out. Have you taken the medicine?There is something so hard to think about, now I feel sorry for Huzi, no father, no mother, how will I live this day.

However, if possible, Xiaoxiu still wants to know why the fourth daughter-in-law would drink the potion, because in Xiaoxiu's understanding, those who can do things like set fire will not easily end up in ruins.Besides, isn't the fourth daughter-in-law planning to remarry?How could he commit suicide at this time?But now these are not important anymore, people are gone, and it is useless to say anything.

The death of the fourth daughter-in-law caused a lot of excitement in the village, and became a gossip event on the lips of many aunts, anyway, they talked about everything.Some said that Xiao Si was too tired alone, so he came back to pick up Xiao Si's wife, and some said that Xiao Si saw that his daughter-in-law was going to remarry, so he came back and arrested her when he was upset.But no matter what, the fourth daughter-in-law was empty, leaving only Huzi, who was said to be picked up by his grandfather.

After the excitement, life continued. Xiaoxiu and Haopo still watched the house change every day. The concrete floor was put on, and the beams would be erected in a few days. There were so many things that Haopo and Xiaopo didn’t have time to think about what was there or what wasn’t. .

According to the custom, on the day when the beam is put on the beam, it is necessary to throw away the promotion.It was the day when the beam was raised, and the host had to prepare cakes, candies, firecrackers, and firecrackers.When the master puts the main beam on the predetermined position, the master will set off firecrackers and firecrackers, and stand upstairs and throw cakes and candies downstairs.In short, this is a big event for the owner of the house.It's better to do it lively!

Originally, these cakes were prepared by the main family's natal family, but Xiaoxiu only had Haopo as a relative, so she had to prepare the cakes by herself, so Xiaoxiu and Haopo were busy preparing steamed cakes.The aunts next door also came to help.There were three women in a play, and there were more than three people who came to help steam the cakes, so Xiaoxiu followed the play.The master and the west are short, you say his daughter-in-law is too lazy to work, and she says the master has an evil mother-in-law, anyway, Xiaoxiu just listened to a storybook.
