Chapter 107

Send away Lin Daniu, Zhang Cuihua and Lin Chunlai's family who are full of wine and food. Although it's still early, it's about time for Lin Qiulai to leave for Nantou County.

Xiaohua and Taohua took the initiative to stay and help Xiaofeng and Xiaoyue clean up and wash the dishes. Lin Xia went to the soy sauce garden. Dew or rain at night.

Lin Qiulai held Fang Yumin's hand, and the two whispered as they walked towards the front yard.Mama Li followed behind them.

Standing next to the carriage, Lin Qiulai talked to Fang Yumin for a while, and then said to Li Ma who was standing aside: "Li Ma, you have to take good care of your wife, if you have anything to do, just call my second brother to let me know. And my mother, my mother and Madam don’t get along very well, if there is a quarrel or something between them, you remember to protect Madam’s safety first, and leave other matters to me. Remember.”

"Yes, master." Li Ma replied respectfully
Lin Qiulai added: "Both you and Xiaoyue must have one person by Madam's side, and Madam cannot be left alone. Tomorrow I will ask my second brother to bring pork over, and you will make more soup for Madam to eat."

"Yes, sir."

"And..." Lin Qiulai was about to speak when Fang Yumin interrupted: "Okay, okay, Mama Li understands all these things, and so do I. It's getting late, you should go back quickly."

Lin Qiulai looked at Fang Yumin helplessly, isn't he worried?
Fang Yumin's goosebumps almost came out from Lin Qiulai's sad little eyes, so she had to change the subject: "I didn't tell Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang today that I would move back, and I'm sure I won't be happy if they don't see me when they go home. Qiulai, after you go back, you have to coax them well, and in a few days, you will bring them back to play."

"Yes, I will." Lin Qiulai nodded.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun has softened and brought a little bit of gold, which illuminates this ordinary small mountain village like a poem.

Fang Yumin looked back, and pushed Lin Qiu: "Okay, you go back quickly. Be careful on the road, don't drive too fast."

Lin Qiulai had no choice but to say: "Okay, then you should also pay attention to your health at home, and ask the second brother to inform me if there is anything."

Fang Yumin waved her hand and said, "I know, I know. Who can I turn to if I have something to do? Go back quickly, or it will be dark if you don't leave."

Lin Qiulai didn't want to leave Fang Yumin at all, so he had to go back to Nantou County every step of the way.I really want to leave the business in the store and run back to accompany my wife, but Xiao Min will definitely not agree, besides Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang are still studying in the county.Forget it, bear with it, wait for Xiao Min to give birth, and then take her back to the Confucian Garden.Now listen to the lady's words, and you must listen to her words.

Fang Yumin just lived in Lin Family Village like this. In the first two days, people always came to hang out, but Fang Yumin seldom went out, leaving everything to Li Ma and Xiaoyue.

Aunt Chunhua brought Xiaohong over on the night Fang Yumin came back. She knew Fang Yumin was pregnant a long time ago, and would visit Confucian Garden to visit her every time she went to the market in Nantou County.

After that, Aunt Chunhua and Xiaohong would come to chat with Fang Yumin every day, or sit and do some light work together.Usually, Fang Yumin lay there halfway and watched them and Li Ma Xiaoyue doing needlework, but she didn't do it anymore.

Aunt Chunhua has always had a happy face this year. It is a great joy for the family to have more income, and it is also a great joy for the eldest son to get married this year.

Lin Damin and Ah Qing successfully sold sweet potato flour in Haipu County with Lin Qiulai after the spring of this year. Because of Fang Yumin's relationship, her family can get a commission from the sales. This income is not a lot, but it is a steady flow.In addition, the marriage of the eldest son Ah Sheng has also been completed, and the wedding date is set in December.The youngest son, Aqing, helps out the building, earning more money in a month than their family earns in a year.

The eldest son is getting married this year, and the daughter Xiaohong is also getting married next year.Ah Qing is 14 years old this year. Although she is not engaged yet, Ah Qing is good-looking and capable. Now the matchmaker who came to her door to kiss her almost smashed the threshold of her house.Why doesn't this make Aunt Chunhua burst into joy and laugh out of her heart?

Her mother-in-law Zhang Cuihua often came to Fang Yumin's house.Every time she comes over, she just sits and doesn't leave, she must have a meal.Fang Yumin often asked Xiaofeng to open the door in the afternoon, and saw people he didn't like early in the morning, how would he live these days?

Now it is the slack season, and the average farm men will go out to do some casual work to earn money. Because of the sweet potato flour, now the men stay at home to make sweet potato flour.Aunt Chunhua and Xiaohong often came to Fang Yumin's house in the afternoon, but eight out of ten times they saw Zhang Cuihua.Mrs. Zhang didn't say anything when she came, she just sat there and listened to them, or took a nap or something.She didn't leave even after dinner was prepared, so Fang Yumin had no choice but to keep her for dinner, and she would go back after dinner.

As for the Hu family, she also wanted to get close to Fang Yumin, but she was embarrassed.Before Lin Chun came home to raise rabbits, everyone in and outside the village spoke ill of Fang Yumin and scolded her for not laying eggs.Although it has been half a year since this happened, gossip will always be new if there are people.You can replace the old with the new and update the new, otherwise why would there be so much right and wrong?

These gossips more or less reached Fang Yumin's ears, especially Fang Yumin came back with a big belly and was expecting to give birth.There are always three aunts and six wives who will spread the word.Mrs. Hu felt guilty, her husband still manages ten acres of land for Fang Yumin, the annual income is quite a lot, and the family's dried shiitake mushrooms and rabbits are also sold to the building outside the building. How dare Mrs. Hu dare to flirt in front of Fang Yumin ?She wished that Fang Yumin would forget about her.

Zhang Cuihua and Hu's ninety-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-year-old Fang Yumin didn't take it to heart. She returned to Linjiacun to wait for delivery.She wants to eat well at home, sleep well, and stay in a good mood.Then give birth to a healthy fat baby on the line.

Fang Yumin carried out this goal to the end, eating and sleeping, sleeping and playing, playing and eating, eating and sleeping every day.Life is as happy as a pig.The air in Linjia Village is good, and the view is wide. Aunt Chunhua and Xiaohong come to talk to her every day. How beautiful life is, but I miss Lin Qiulai and her two sons too much.

Aunt Chunhua and Xiaohong didn't know how to play poker at first, but they couldn't resist Fang Yumin playing with Li Ma, Xiaoyue and Xiaofeng every day.Sometimes Xiaohua and Taohua came over and divided into two groups to fight the landlord, and gradually they also learned.Now it becomes uncomfortable for them not to hit once a day.

After Fang Yumin came back, she would go to Jiangyuan every day, and she took Xiaohua to pass on what she knew to him.Xiaohua also goes to the third aunt's house to study for an hour every day, recognizing characters, calculating, and memorizing formulas.The third aunt said that learning a craft can make a living, but having knowledge can make life better.Xiaohua took it for granted, and she knew it when she visited the house of her third uncle and aunt.

Xiaofeng followed Fang Yumin back to Linjiacun because he was the strongest of several children, and he had to do the heavy work at home.Lin Qiulai brought him back during spring plowing, and he learned quickly.Fang Yumin also taught Xiaohua how to read and count when he taught him to read and count. Although he could not take the imperial examination for three generations, it is better to have knowledge than to be illiterate, and he can learn quickly.

Time flies, and a week has passed.Lin Qiu came and went to the store and hurriedly hung up the sign of 'rest day', and then rushed back to Linjiacun with the children.

What a crowd!Usually there are only four of Fang Yumin in such a big room, which is a little deserted, but now there are nine more people cheering, it is really very lively.

As soon as Xiao Ming got out of the car, he rushed towards Fang Yumin, and Fang Yumin also stretched out his hands.Xiao Ming didn't dare to hug Fang Yumin who was shy with a big belly, so he could only hold her arm and pouted a little aggrievedly: "Mom, why didn't you come back after telling us? Xiao Ming misses her so much, but he can't run away Come back and visit my mother."

Xiao Yang also ran over after Xiao Ming, but he was a little older than Xiao Ming and knew his identity as an adopted son. He missed his mother very much, but he didn't dare to act like a baby to Fang Yumin like Xiao Ming.He just stood behind Xiao Ming and looked at Fang Yumin and said excitedly: "Mother, Xiao Yang misses you so much."

"Xiaoyang is also good, and mother misses you very much. Come on, sit down and rest." Fang Yumin looked at the two sons tenderly. Since she became pregnant, she felt that her personality has become much gentler.

"Mother sit too." Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang supported Fang Yumin to sit down, and the other children also sat down around.

Li Ma and Xiaoyue brought teapots and cups, as well as a large plate of peanut candies and sesame candies.

Li Ma said with a smile while pouring tea, "This is the chrysanthemum tea that my wife told me to make in the morning. These chrysanthemums are the wild chrysanthemums on the mountain behind Linjiacun. They are sweetened with sugar, and they are so sweet that they can relieve the heat. Try it quickly." Taste it."

After hearing this, the children hurriedly picked up the cup and took a sip, and then drank it up immediately: "It's so delicious!"

Xiaochen's eyes brightened: "Ma'am, let's sell this in our store too, it's so delicious."

"Yeah." The others also nodded, looking at the teapot helplessly and wanting to refill their cups.

Fang Yumin smiled and motioned them to pour it themselves, and said: "You can sell this in the store. After you all come back in a month, we will go up the mountain to pick chrysanthemums. Pick as many as you want, and you won't have to worry about not having chrysanthemum tea in the future." Already!"

Lin Qiulai looked at Fang Yumin's stomach with a smile on his face: "Xiao Min, you're going to give birth in a month, right? Do you still want to go up the mountain?"

Everyone laughed again after hearing this, and Fang Yumin couldn't help but also laughed when he touched his stomach.

A family reunion, Lin Qiulai closed the door as soon as he came back.Lin Xialai and Aunt Chunhua, the second family who are familiar with each other, see that the door of Lin Qiulai's house is closed, so they won't knock on the door to disturb others.But the ignorant Zhang Cuihua just likes to be for herself and makes others feel uncomfortable.At this time, she slapped on the door again and shouted: "Qiu Lai, Qiu Lai, are you back?"

Fang Yumin stroked his forehead, Lin Qiulai was helpless, Xiaoming puffed up his cheeks and sulked, Xiaoyang was expressionless.

The door slammed loudly, as if there was no intention to stop, Fang Yumin couldn't help it, it was too noisy.

"Qiu Lai, you can go. Today is a family reunion and we want to talk to our own family members, and we don't want others to disturb us. Let's talk about your mother in two days."

"Yeah." Lin Qiulai took two steps outside, then looked back at Fang Yumin and asked, "Xiao Min, why don't you move back to live after such trouble?"

Fang Yumin waved her hand: "If you don't move, don't move! You can persuade your mother to go home, or you can go home with her and have a good talk with mother and son."

Lin Qiulai sighed, turned and walked out.

I don't know what Lin Qiulai said to Zhang Cuihua, but soon the outside became quiet.Fang Yumin clapped his hands and started talking to everyone again. After a while, they started playing cards in groups, and even took out the bamboo poles in their ears. They played the bamboo pole dance in the yard again during the Chinese New Year.

"Xiao Ming, go to your second uncle's house. Please invite the family of your second uncle and aunt to come over for dinner tonight." Fang Yumin said to Xiao Ming: "If your brother Xiao Hua and Tao Hua are at home, ask them to come over and play together."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Xiao Ming responded and ran out.

Fang Yumin turned her head and watched the children sweating profusely, and she was also very happy.It's a pity that she is pregnant with a child, otherwise she would also like to dance.

Fang Yumin held her chin and looked at it for a while, then asked, "Have you guys not eaten fish for a long time?"

The children looked at Fang Yumin with burning eyes: "Yes, it's been a long time."

Fang Yumin smiled: "There are a lot of fish in our rice field, shall we eat fish tonight?"

The children cheered: "Eat fish, eat fish! That's great, thank you madam."

The lunch meal is relatively light, which not only takes care of Fang Yumin's taste, but also takes care of all the children who eat heavy food in the store every day. It is better to change the taste to be clear.

After lunch, the boys who didn't want to take a nap followed Lin Qiu to catch fish in the rice fields, while the other children took a nap in the house.

Fang Yumin also fell asleep, and she would sleep for two hours at this time every day.Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang are reading in the study. They are used to taking a nap at two o'clock, which has something to do with their school time.

When Fang Yumin woke up, the others had already woken up, and they were happily busy drying vegetables and eggplants in the yard.

Since Fang Yumin came here, the family always dried vegetables and dried eggplants for winter, or made soup.It tastes very different from fresh dishes, but it is delicious.This has become a habit in the family, but this year Fang Yumin became pregnant, they moved to Nantou County, and opened a shop outside the building, so they really didn't have time to dry vegetables.Taking advantage of the large number of people today, Lin Qiulai led the children to work.

The rows of bamboo poles on the erected tripod, the bamboo mats on the ground, and the shauke on the stone table and bench, with boiled vegetables on it, are very spectacular.Fang Yumin also got excited, she taught Li Ma and Xiaoyue, Xiaoyu to make pickled eggplants, this is different from dried eggplants, this one needs to be pickled with seasonings and spices, and then dried.Can be stored for a long time.

Lin Qiulai and the others brought back two large barrels of fish, so they had a whole-fish feast at night.Although it is not yet the time to harvest, and the largest fish weighs only one catty, the meat is fresh and tender.Coupled with Lin Qiulai and Xiaolu's increasingly excellent cooking skills, everyone was very satisfied.

The table was placed in the yard, and Lin Xialai's family included almost twenty people, and they did not eat at two separate tables.Put several tables in a row, except for Fang Yumin, everyone stood instead of sitting.You ran over to grab a chopstick, and I ran over to pick up a chopstick, eating happily.In Fang Yumin's words, this is called a buffet; in Lin Qiu's words, eating while digesting.

A meal is very lively, everyone happily enjoys food and life to the fullest, what could be happier than this?Fang Yumin rubbed her stomach and couldn't help laughing.
