take a wife to support the family

Chapter 177 Glutinous Rice Couscous

The brother didn't let the elder brother know when he went home, Song Haonian didn't take it seriously, after all, he was the one who sent Song Haojie to prison, not only Song Haojie hated him, but the rest of the old Song family also looked at him more Be on guard, he's used to it.

Song Haojie's return did not bring any changes to Song Haonian's life. He lived a smooth life, either working in the tofu shop or going home to take care of the vegetable field.

Now they have a large vegetable field, and their own manure is not enough. Lily trades rotten vegetable leaves for pig farmers. A load of manure can be exchanged for a basket of vegetable leaves. Their vegetables grow better, and pig farmers It can also save some pigweed leftovers, everyone is happy.

Even so, the two of them are still a bit too busy, so Lily is thinking about hiring two people to help take care of the vegetable field in the coming year.Song Haonian said: "In the past, I farmed land for others, but now I have to hire people myself."

Lily smiled and said, "Why not hire if you can afford it?" After the scale of the vegetable field expanded, she had to work very hard just for weeding. After all, there is no herbicide these days. If the vegetables grow well, we must pay more attention to them.

Song Haonian also didn't want Lily to work too hard, sometimes he wondered if his daughter-in-law was too tired to conceive a child, but he didn't say that, just nodded and said: "Yes, hired someone Take it easy, let's go to the county town to see Xiaofu and Lamei."

Before Qingsong complained that he didn't have enough to eat, Lily had to fry some meat sauce for him every ten days or so. Since Lamei moved to the city, Lamei was asked to take over this job, so as not to go back and ask the driver to bring things, which is always troublesome.

The young couple still have to go to Liushan Village every few days to bring some food and clothing for the two elders of the craftsman Li, and tidy up the house. In fact, Mrs. Zhu is also a good housekeeper, and she can take care of the house without her daughter. Be neat.

Li Bamboo Carpenter is getting better every day, and Song Haonian feels that the burden on his shoulders is also lightened.When he saw the sky running to his father-in-law's house, many people praised him for his filial piety, and some people said bitter words: "My parents are not filial, so they know how to respect my father-in-law. Why don't I ask my mother-in-law to hold it in my hand?"

Anyway, those few people were the ones who spoke sour words, Song Haonian knew the reason, they were all wrong people, so he didn't take it to heart.

In a blink of an eye, autumn is cool, and on the cold clothes festival on the first day of October, we have to worship the ancestors and give them cold clothes. The parents of the young couple are all there, and the ancestors have their own parents to worship, so there is no need to do anything special, just send some incense candles to the old Song's house to burn for the ancestors , I will do my best for the younger generation.

Because Song Haojie was not happy to see Song Haonian, Song Haonian didn't even enter the old Song's house, he just handed the incense candles to Jin Bao at the door, Jin Bao didn't know to call him second uncle when he saw anyone, because of his grandmother sent him out Taking things, the boss was not happy, pouted his lips and gave Song Haonian a look, grabbed the things and ran into the house.

There was a smell of meat inside and outside the house, Mrs. Niu was wronged for Song Haojie, and these days he was trying to get meat for him, no longer as stingy as before.

When Song Haonian returned to his home, he was also smelled of meat, which made him happy all of a sudden, and asked Lily when he entered the door: "What do you eat?"

Lily was washing her hands. Seeing him come back, she smiled and said, "I steamed a glutinous rice ball and served it with pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli."

"Little dolls only eat glutinous rice balls."

Lily glared at him: "You don't want to eat it, I'll give it to Xing'er!" Anyway, Xing'er likes it.

Song Haonian hurriedly said that he was not unwilling to eat it, but...it still felt like something to coax a doll, which made Lily herself a little dazed: "Tell me, I don't think I want to have a baby?"

Song Haonian laughed: "Didn't we want to have a baby a long time ago?"

Lily was beating her heart, giving birth to a child these days is a life-saver, there are countless dead and two dead, there are infected and sick, poor care during the confinement period, all kinds of problems come out when they get old.

Lily herself has not experienced childbirth, but she has participated in the full moon wine for the children of several high school classmates, and heard them say that they had a laparotomy and side cutting during the birth, and her hairs stood on end.That was still in my previous life, when medical care was developed and childbirth was safe.

At this time, knowing that the medical treatment is backward and still wanting to give birth, the only explanation is that she has true love for Song Haonian.But true love can't alleviate her fear, Song Haonian saw that Baihe's expression was a little bit wrong, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, you are still young, give birth slowly."

Lily grabbed his arm with a pale face and said, "I'm afraid of dystocia..."

"Bah, bah, bah, childish words, strong wind blows away!" Song Haonian quickly said to the sky, "She is young and ignorant, so the gods and Buddhas don't take it to heart."

Turn around and teach Lily a lesson: "How can you talk nonsense?"

Lily asked him to respond: Although medical care is underdeveloped these days, there are women who are stable. No matter how nutritious they are, the fetuses are generally small. As long as the pregnant women can keep up, and pay attention to hygiene, Boiling water to scald utensils can greatly improve the chance of survival.

Besides, she's not pregnant yet, so why do she think so much...

After she figured it out, Lily smiled and said, "Wash your hands, and I'll scoop up the rice."

Glutinous rice couscous is wrapped with a layer of glutinous rice soaked overnight in advance, cut carrots into slices, and put them in a steamer one by one, and then put the glutinous rice balls on it for steaming.

The freshness of the meat stuffing and the sweetness of the glutinous rice are mixed together, the outside is tough and the inside is tender, one bite is full of oil, Song Haonian said that he only eats it as a baby, but in fact it is delicious and sweet, even the carrots holding the meatballs are eaten clean up.

The pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli is as delicious as ever, and it is full of energy.

In the end, there were more than a dozen meatballs left, and the two of them took them to Liu Yi's house for Xing'er to eat. Unexpectedly, when they got to the door of Liu's house, they heard the faint sounds of quarreling and crying inside.

The two looked at each other, if it was someone else, they should walk away at this time, so as not to run into embarrassing things, but his family and Liu Yi's family have always been close, so they should go in to inquire at this time.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Xing'er huddled in a corner crying sadly. Lily hurried over to hug Xing'er, coaxed her to eat glutinous rice balls, and looked at Liu Yi and Li Caifeng. Whoever it is, just sigh.

Song Haonian said: "Brother, what happened? You always taught me that you should not take your anger on your daughter-in-law. The relationship between you and your sister-in-law these years, why should you just be angry about a little thing?"

Liu Yi sighed: "It's not a big deal, let's chat a little bit, and it'll be fine when we turn around."

Li Caifeng also forced a smile and said: "It's hard for you to come here at this time. We quarrel every day, but you haven't seen it before. This time it's a joke for you."

Lily coaxed Xing'er and said: "Whoever sees your jokes, I just tear his mouth! Since it's a small matter, you should explain it clearly by yourself, don't stay overnight, and you will be so frightened if you don't see Xing'er."

Liu Yi and his wife repeatedly promised that they would be fine, Song Haonian and Bai He left, the two of them fell silent, Xing'er looked at her father and mother, and felt that the meatballs were no longer delicious.

In the store on the second day, Li Caifeng was a little bit out of her wits, she either brought the wrong buns to someone, or miscalculated the money. A few impatient customers said to her. .

Li Caifeng took Li Caifeng to the back yard and asked, "Sister Caifeng, tell me the truth, what's wrong?"

With Li Caifeng's ability, if it's a small matter, I'm afraid it can be solved on the spot, and if he can stay overnight, and now he looks absent-minded, there must be something big.

Li Caifeng's eyes turned red, and she held Lily's hand and said, "Sister, while you are young, hurry up and have two children."

As soon as Lily heard the wrong voice, several guesses flashed in her mind, "Did brother do something to be sorry for you?"

Li Caifeng shook her head and said, "It's not him, it's my body that doesn't live up to expectations."

Now Lily understood, it was still because of not having a son.In her previous life, she suffered from patriarchy, and she looked down on those patriarchal people the most, so she raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Since he thinks you can't have a son, he gave birth to a son!"

Li Caifeng and Liu Yi quarreled because they failed to give Xing'er a brother. Li Caifeng is still a woman no matter how pungent she is, and she is not as educated as Lily. When I said such a sentence, I was stunned and funny at the same time, and I couldn't help laughing out loud.

Lily then said: "Children are fate, and it's not like you can't have children. Many people give birth to babies at the age of 50 or [-]. Uncles are younger than nephews. Why are you so anxious?"

After convincing him for a long time, he said: "You have worked hard in his Liu's house for all these years, and you gave birth to Xing'er again. Brother didn't thank you, but even quarreled about it. I will talk to Da Nian later."

Li Caifeng said: "Baihe, I'm not telling you, Xing'er's father originally said that I can't have children, probably because he always works in the shop, and wanted me to close the stall and go home. But I thought, the steamed stuffed bun stall is always an income. If I really can’t give Xing’er a younger brother in the future, I have to leave her a part of the family business. This job is easier and more profitable than farming. I don't want to go back."

After making trouble for a long time, the crux of the matter was still in himself.Li Caifeng was a little embarrassed, and worried for Li Caifeng: Li Caifeng is a talented person. Even if he has not received a day of education, his brain is more flexible than many people, and his hands and feet are quick. He is the kind of person who can make a good life wherever he is placed. .

It would be a pity for such a person to only do farm work at home and take care of the children.

Besides, Baihe doesn't believe that Li Caifeng can give birth to a son when she returns home, Song Haonian has to go and talk to Liu Yi to solve this problem.

Going home and talking to Song Haonian, Song Haonian also said: "Elder brother wants to have a son, everyone wants to, but you can't hurt sister-in-law's heart because of this matter. If there is Xing'er again, what a bluff. But I see her as a top-notch."

Lily sighed: "No matter how good-hearted you are, how can you compare to the life-blooded one?"

Even in her previous life, people who could not have a son were ridiculed and bullied. Some two-female households were directly called "extinct" by the villagers, let alone in this era.

Song Haonian tried to relieve Liu Yi, but he didn't know what the result would be. Lily thought about it for a long time, but could only sigh deeply.
