The mulberry life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 57

Not to mention what Xiaofu saw when they got married, before that, the family had to experience the first big event in Nuanbao's life, giving birth!Four months pregnant, the belly is already showing, and the villagers know everything without publicizing it. He Sheng's family even informed him before that. On the same day, Uncle He slapped Qin Chengyi's shoulder excitedly and shouted repeatedly: "Good boy!" , good boy..." Nuan Bao wiped his sweat deeply, as if the child could be done by himself, but seeing Uncle He bring a scented oil candle to worship her mother-in-law He Lianhua With the appearance of many tears, I can't help letting go of a big stone for him.

For the next three months, the child in her stomach did not bother her. She ate well and slept soundly. If it wasn't for the occasional small movements in her stomach, she would be really afraid that something might happen to the child inside. .

When the wheat is ripe, Zhang De and Qin Chengyi have to hurry up to harvest the grain because there are more acres of wasteland this year. They are busy until dark every day, and they have to go to the field before dawn. I bought a few clothes for the two of them and wanted to move back to my mother's house temporarily, which would save me a long journey.

This year, there are four families in partnership, namely Aunt Zhang's family, He Sheng's family and their two families.No matter how you look at it, it was Aunt Zhang and Uncle who came to help out of good intentions, so Zhang De and Qin Chengyi worked hard, at least not to hold back.It's a pity that she still has a big belly, otherwise she would be able to help, and it would be fine to bring water, rice, and bundles of wheat.

Because Xiaofu is going to get married next year, she can't tan her skin, and she is not able to work, so Zhong Caixin simply asked her to stay at home to take care of the pregnant women and children, and put on a headscarf and a wide-brimmed straw hat to go to the fields to exchange hands.

Nuan Bao was sitting by the stove adding firewood and watching the fire for Xiaofu. Xiaofu looked like a chef with a big horse and a golden knife. Add salt!"

When she came back after delivering the meal, Nuan Bao was annoyed when she saw that she hadn't started to embroider the wedding gown: "Didn't you agree to do it after you promised that I would accompany you?"

The baby’s clothes prepared are leftovers from the whole head and roots. Children grow fast, and it is common to pick up clothes worn by relatives, and because the head is the first child of the Zhang family, his clothes are made of Well, it's very soft, but as a mother, I always want to give the best to my child, so Nuanbao still wants to make some underwear for the child before giving birth, just in time to urge Xiaofu to embroider the wedding dress as soon as possible.

As soon as Xiaofu heard that she was going to embroider the wedding dress, she sighed, took out the wedding dress from the suitcase and sat on the kang, took out the wedding dress from the suitcase, and sewed on it. Nuan Bao saw that her movements were very casual, and wanted to preach, but Knowing that this younger sister is soft rather than hard, she said just now: "This is a once in a lifetime event. You can have a good memory in the future if you use the snacks."

Unexpectedly, she uttered a sentence: "Sister is also a wedding dress, why can't I do it!"

Hearing what she said, she seemed to envy herself that she didn't need to prepare a wedding dress, and that the warm treasure was holding her forehead, this brat.

"Well, even if you don't need to do it this time, you plan to go to a clothing store to buy it in the future, and you won't make clothes yourself? And your craftsmanship, the food you cook can only be regarded as undead, and you will marry me later. What should I do?"

Xiaofu put up a little finger in his right hand, and said righteously: "First, I can make clothes, but I just don't like embroidery, sister, don't look down on me."

"Secondly, Aunt Li loves cooking very much. She spends most of her day in the kitchen. Er Niu told me that I will be in charge of cooking and washing dishes in the future."

After speaking, she was still very proud, as if she was happy to find out the reason.

Nuan Bao rolled her eyes at her and threatened her, "If you don't look like a daughter-in-law, it's hard to guarantee that Erniu won't like you in the future. Don't regret it when the time comes, and you will cry when you go home."

Xiao Fu clenched his fist and waved it heavily, gritted his teeth and said: "He dares! See if I don't wring his ear off!"

She can't take care of the affairs after marriage, but she still has the right to ask her to embroider her own wedding dress if she hasn't married for a day. Regardless of Xiaofu's sad face, she happily cut out the baby's clothes.

After harvesting good wheat, they have to rush to plant soybeans and corn, and also plant winter vegetables. It is estimated that the production period of Nuanbao will be in December. They will return to the mountain in September, and they will go down to live in Zhang's house in November. That said, Mrs. Wen had already notified her, and everything was just waiting for the moment when the baby was born.

I can't feel the pain of giving birth before giving birth. At that moment, I think it is ridiculous to judge the gender of the child based on the sour man and the hot woman and the round belly. Nuan Bao can barely hold back the pain from the beginning of labor. When she opened her five fingers, the pain came in waves, she couldn't think of anything, she just hoped that the child would come out soon, no matter if it was a boy or a girl.

In fact, her heart is contradictory. Modern education has long made her feel that it is okay to give birth to a daughter for the first time. There is no family planning in this era, and it is enough to have another child in the future.However, other people don't think so. When she was pregnant, walking in the yard would always attract many enthusiastic aunts to hold her eyes for her, saying that she has a round belly. She is just a girl. She does not discriminate against girls, but Her thoughts cannot represent all ancient people, especially Uncle He Sheng who is still looking forward to her giving birth to a boy to continue the incense.

At this time, she tried her best to put aside these thoughts, emptied her head, and followed Wen Po's instructions. She knew how anxious the fool outside was, and she was happy to hear his messy footsteps through the window lattice. Suddenly, she exerted all her strength, and felt that something was rapidly breaking away from her mother's body, and then she was paralyzed and fell onto the kang.

"wow wow"

Wen Po raised her hand and tapped the baby's immature buttocks, and the baby let out a loud cry. After cleaning up the baby, she quickly wrapped it in a cotton coat before congratulating her: "It's a little daughter, look quickly, she's a little beauty."

Zhong Caixin quickly took it, hugged it in her arms and coaxed it "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

Seeing that Nuan Bao had passed out, she put the child on the inside of the kang, went out with Wen Po, and wrapped half a tael of silver in red paper as production expenses.

Granny Wen touched it, thinking that she had taken over countless births in eight villages, and this family was willing to give them a small amount of silver, so the cleaning three days later was also very satisfactory.

Qin Chengyi lingered outside the door, and finally waited until Wen Po came out to tell him that the mother and daughter were well and that a daughter was born. He couldn't help but brows happily, wondering what would happen to the little girl like Nuan Bao, and suddenly frowned and hoped that she would be safe. Don't be so big and rough like him.

Just after Nuan Bao passed out, she didn't know that her husband not only thought of the child's first name in advance, but also took up the nickname. In order to prevent the little girl from looking like him, Qin Chengyi gave the child a nickname of Wenxiu It's called Shui Zhu'er.

The big name is naturally Qin Rushui, and this cannot be changed in the slightest.On the third day of the bath, when the baby's nickname was announced, Nuan Bao lay in the back room, although he wanted to stop it, but he couldn't get out of bed because of being guarded, so he could only watch helplessly as his daughter's name was decided.

Shui Zhu'er is so delicate as her name deserves, even yawning, she opened her small mouth slightly and quickly closed it again, she looked at Zhang De so strangely, who made little aunt Zhong Caixin give birth to two children in a row but didn't have a daughter .

At the time of the full moon, the child can already see people with wide-open eyes. The eyes are like small grapes, black and bright. Every time they look curious and ignorant of the world, they will completely conquer a group of aunts and aunts. I can't praise her, the old people often say that she was ugly when she was young, but she will become beautiful when she is older, so poor Shuizhu'er has many nicknames, such as ugly child, ugly baby, black girl, hairy and so on.

Every time Qin Chengyi heard these aunts say that their daughters were ugly and dark, he was very annoyed. He knew in his heart that they had good intentions, but it didn't sound good. What if his daughter was really dark and ugly in the future? He urged him to hurry up just after the full moon banquet. back to the mountain.

I am used to being free in the mountains, and Nuan Bao doesn't like to stay in the village. The grocery store opens up and there are many idlers. The Zhang family is like a small teahouse. In the shade of the central tree.

With the experience of bringing a full head, Nuanbao will not be in a hurry to raise a newborn. Shuizhuer is not a nagging baby. She doesn't need to be hugged when she falls asleep, and she just opens her eyes wide and spit bubbles to play when she wakes up. Qin Chengyi I love this doll.

Shui Zhu'er's full moon banquet happened to be in the New Year, and she accidentally collected a lot of lucky money. Nuan Bao packed them in a small earthen jar for her, and planned to start saving her dowry from now on.

Qin Chengyi curled his lips at this, anyway, he would not send his daughter to someone else's house so easily, so what about keeping the dowry, he shouldn't be forced to marry her.But he didn't dare to say it right now, and he was busy buying medicinal materials and planned to take his wife and daughter to the frontier, so no one noticed his narrow-mindedness.

The three-month-old Shuizhu'er has grown more flexible, her small hands know how to make fists, and she can grab small things for her, and she can also make "ah" and "ah" sounds, which made her daddy smile.

Qin Chengyi touched her little finger, then touched her little feet, and if he didn't think it was enough, he held her in his arms and kissed her. Nuan Bao told him many times that the child was still too young, and it was best not to drool from adults. If it gets on her face, the result is nothing. It can only be said that Qin Chengyi has changed from being controlled by a wife to being controlled by a woman.

Of course, the consequence of this is seven days of fasting. The man who is so hungry and thirsty can't tell the pain when he faces his wife who is sleeping with his back turned to him.The sweet fragrance of his wife and the milky fragrance of his young daughter are really a dilemma. Who can understand that his daughter, who was born in his 20s, only suffered a little pain, and his daughter-in-law became jealous. What should he do?

Fortunately, he was only thinking about it in secret, if he really said it, Nuan Bao would probably lose his temper immediately, who would be jealous!My sister is not rare!

After the midwinter passed, everything revived, and the bleak season of the world gave birth to new green seedlings. The ice surface of the creek was broken, and the gurgling water passed through several nearby small villages. The women in the village began to carry poles to fetch water again.After the snow in the mountains melted, Qin Chengyi took his wife and daughter and drove to the border in the carriage "Gra" and "Gra" with a whole load of supplies that had been prepared.

The sky in the early spring is no longer the blue-gray color of the severe winter, and the layers of bright sunlight reflected on the dust raised by the passing horses’ hooves gradually turned into a whirl, following the carriage far away. go.
