Chapter 624: Giving birth
Being forced to eat a bowl of brown sugar and ginger soup with eggs, Xiao Le’s heart was shattered. In order to make her father and Aunt Feng happy, she could not express her dislike and went against her will. means delicious.
After eating, I packed my luggage carefully, moved the things I brought back to the room where the refrigerator was kept, and took out some seafood to soak and prepare for a big meal in the evening.
I packed my luggage and went to the backyard to look around. The pig that I had raised for more than a year was sold, leaving only two pigs left. I bought them in December last year and they are growing fast. There are a large group of chickens, a large group of ducks, and the six livestock are prosperous.
After walking around for a while, Le Yun was in a good mood. She went to the back garden to cut down seven or eight corn seedlings, and went home to cook the corn cobs.
Corn can mature early or mature late. Zhou Qiufeng knew that Xiao Lele loved to eat corn. The corn in the garden in front of and behind the house was planted late, and the corn in other fields could be harvested soon after the double grabbing. Too old to eat tender corn.
Le Yun cooked the corn cobs and ate them. She eagerly rushed her father to buy meat, kneaded the noodles herself, waited for her father to buy the meat, chopped the stuffing, and then made dumplings. She was busy until the sun went down. Make hundreds of dumplings and process the seafood.
When the sun went down and the people who were rushing to grab the goods were about to finish their work, classmate Le packed up his tools, took a shower, and prepared to pick up Grandma Zhou for dinner with a dumpling in her arms.
Lele's father quickly pulled the girl: "Lele, Chunmei is on vacation. Because of your Aunt Feng's matter, she has special opinions on our family. If you go there, it won't be safe if we quarrel with you again. Okay, let me go."
Zhou Qiufeng disagreed: "Brother Le, what are you afraid of? Chunmei doesn't like us. It's her business. You don't have to follow her all the time. Lele, just follow you. Do things when you're in the mood, just quarrel when you quarrel, fight when you fight, it's no big deal."
"Xiaofeng, don't encourage Lele, Lele likes fighting the most." Lele's dad wanted to cry, his family Xiaomianyao is the one who is best to start a fight to resolve the matter if there is a disagreement. Xiaofeng also supports Lele in fighting, which is exactly what she wants.
"Hmph, Dad, when did I become a person who likes to fight? I don't use my fists when I can quarrel, and I don't quarrel when I can solve things with my fists. Dad doesn't love me anymore. I Go find Grandma Zhou."
Le Yun protested and ran away with a bag of dumplings.
Little Lele slipped away, and Zhou Qiufeng smiled and rubbed her belly: "Shanshan, you can learn more from your sister in the future. We don't take the initiative to bully others. If others want to bully us, we shouldn't be afraid of trouble. When it's time to fight back, you must retaliate with tooth."
Le's father silently shut up, well, his wife was supporting the little cotton-padded jacket and the little jacket, what else could he say? Don't say anything, just do what you have to do.
Because it’s getting dark, the people who are doing the double grabbing are also finishing their work one after another., there were people coming and going outside, Le's father picked up the crutch again, and used it to carry pig food and feed the chickens and ducks. His little cotton-padded jacket didn't tell him to throw away the crutch, so he had to use it for the time being.
Brother Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhou went to help Cheng Youliang's family with a double grab at around three o'clock in the afternoon. Zhou Tianming will be a sophomore in high school when school starts. He has to make up for classes and hasn't come back yet. Zhou Chunmei is back from vacation. She can't have a double grab. The hardships of not helping the Cheng family gain.
Zhou Chunmei was watching TV in the lower room with the air conditioner blowing on. Grandma Zhou was so tired from feeding the pigs, chickens and ducks that she was so tired that she sat down to enjoy the cool air. She held a round cattail leaf fan in her hand. Little Lele shouted "Ouch, ouch": "Lele, when did you come back? Your dad said you won't get home until tomorrow."
"I'll be there after noon, Grandma Zhou , have you missed me? I miss you very much. I know you are at home, so I came to see you." Le Yun dragged a bamboo chair and sat down next to Grandma Zhou, and then took the fan from Grandma Zhou. Fan to drive away mosquitoes.
"Why is it so fast?"
"I flew to Changshi by plane, so I came back quickly." Le Yun gave the dumplings to Grandma Zhou: " Grandma Zhou, these are the dumplings I made in the afternoon. Give them to Uncle Zhou to try. You can come to my house for dinner in the evening."
"It's expensive to fly." Grandma Zhou held a bag of dumplings in her arms. , I was very moved, Xiao Lele was very diligent and made food as soon as she came home, unlike her Chunmei who had not even touched the rice vat after being back for two days.
"The flight fee of more than 1,000 yuan is not too expensive." Le Yun just answered, seeing Zhou Chunmei walking out of the lower room, she gave a bright smile: "Sister Chunmei. ”
When Le Yun came, Zhou Chunmei didn’t want to show her face at first. When she heard that Le Yun was coming back by plane, she couldn’t help but decided to go and have a look. She wanted to see how Le Yun was doing. Is it a full-body brand name?
Walking out of the living room downstairs, I saw Le Yun sitting in the upper room, who looked no different. She was still wearing ordinary casual clothes. She was greeted by a smiling face named Le. She felt uncomfortable and could only respond: "Yeah."
Grandma Zhou took the dumplings to put in the refrigerator, while Xia Long went to help others with the double robbery. We had dinner at Cheng's house in the evening, so naturally the dumplings were saved for tomorrow morning.
"Le Yun, isn't my aunt at home?" Grandma ignored her. Zhou Chunmei pretended to be casual and asked Le Yun. Her aunt was pregnant and had the right to share the Le family's property after giving birth to a child. Le Yun She would definitely be angry if she knew it. She is still smiling now. It must be because her aunt went to the county town for a check-up and was not at home.
"Here, Aunt Feng is at home. When I came, she told me to go and come back quickly. What does Sister Chunmei want from my Aunt Feng?" Le Yun pretended to be stupid, and Zhou Chunmei asked her what was new. Is my mother at home? I just want to ask her if she knows about Aunt Feng’s pregnancy and her attitude towards the baby in Aunt Feng’s belly.
At... home? Zhou Chunmei was stunned, Le Yun agrees that her aunt can have another child? She didn't believe that Le Yun really agreed that someone would compete with her for the family property, and asked: "My aunt will give birth soon, right?"
"Yes, Aunt Feng's due date is at the end of this month."
Le Yun didn’t look unhappy at all when she spoke. Zhou Chunmei was puzzled and asked without giving up: "Le Yun, do you want a younger brother or a younger sister?"
"Both younger brothers and sisters like it. Let me tell you quietly, my Aunt Feng's belly is a boy, and I will have a younger brother soon." Le Yun happily revealed the gossip, and saw Zhou Chunmei's face change. It was ugly, so I pretended not to notice it. When I saw Grandma Zhou putting away the things and coming out, I jumped up and said, "Grandma Zhou, let's go there quickly. My dad is waiting for me to go back and fry the seafood."
Finally, rush. Zhou Chunmei waved her little hand: "Sister Chunmei, Grandma Zhou is going to my house for dinner. You don't have to worry. I will send Grandma Zhou back in the evening."
Zhou Chunmei looked at Le Yun who said happily that she would have a younger brother soon. , like a thunder strike, Le Yun didn't mind her aunt giving birth to a child to compete with her for the family property? When did she become so generous?
Don’t believe it.
She really didn’t believe that Le Yun could accept the child born by her stepmother, especially if it was a boy. The girl was married outside, so it was reasonable not to mind. Her aunt gave birth to a boy. It is impossible for the Le family to give their son no share of the family property. Can Le Yun accept it?
In shock, she heard that the Le family had seafood to eat at night. Zhou Chunmei remembered the delicious seafood the Le family gave them during the Chinese New Year and the first month of the year, and thought that Le Yun called her "Sister Chunmei" to invite her to go with her. Lejia was about to agree, but Leyun just told her to pick up her grandma.
In an instant, I was so angry that my lungs exploded. I knew she was at home and I didn’t even call her. What did Le Yun mean? She wanted to catch up and kick her a few times, but she didn't have the guts, so she gritted her teeth angrily and stared at Le Yun's back fiercely. Until she saw Le Yun helping her grandma out of the door, she still felt that she was so angry that she kicked her The edge of the stone slab on the patio was a few feet away, and then I angrily went to see what food I had at home.
After looking through the refrigerator for a while, there was meat and vegetables, but they needed to be cooked before they could be eaten. Zhou Chunmei almost wore her back alveolar teeth from grinding her teeth. She was so angry that she took the eggs and vegetables to the kitchen to cook them. , she only knows the simplest kind of scrambled eggs.
Zhou Chunmei finished her dinner out of breath. When she was full, she didn’t clean the pot or wash the dishes. She threw down her things and closed the door to watch TV by herself.
Brother Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhou returned home from dinner at Cheng Youliang’s house. She didn’t see her mother. She asked the girl and said she was going to Le’s house for dinner. Brother Zhou went to Yueqing’s house instead.
The dinner at Lejia was very enjoyable. The girl from Lejia knew how to cook. She made three delicious seafood dishes that were suitable for all ages and even pregnant women. She also fried vegetables. Grandma Zhou’s face was glowing after eating. .
When Brother Zhou came to Lejia and saw the girl from Lejia, he suddenly realized that no wonder he took his mother away. It turned out that Xiao Lele was back.
When Dad Le saw his brother-in-law coming, he hurriedly got some watermelon to eat.
Brother Zhou sat at Lejia for an hour. Grandma Zhou left with a bag of pills. Brother Zhou also took away a bag of packaged seafood. Mother and son went home happily.
Brother Zhou didn’t tell his wife and girls about Xiao Lele making health pills for his wife. His wife is a stingy woman who always wants others to give her things to flatter her, but she never does. He was willing to give away favors for those he loved. If Liu Tong found out that Lele had given his mother health-preserving pills, he would secretly steal some for himself instead of stealing them.
Grandma Zhou took a pill before going to bed. She slept very soundly that night. When she woke up the next day, she felt that her body was very light and her aching waist was much more comfortable. She was happy in her heart and had a smile on her face. .
Le Yun had a physical examination for the new mother and it was still a few days before delivery, so she was not in a hurry to go to the hospital. She made nutritious soup at night and put it in the refrigerator. She got up early in the morning to make breakfast and sent her father to her after dinner. After finishing her housework after going to work, she asked Aunt Feng what to eat at home to support her fetus, and then she went to help Aunt Cheng Youde and Liu's family cut rice.
The rice of Cheng Youliang’s family ripened a day or two earlier and was harvested first, followed by Cheng Youde’s family, Liu Lu’s family, and then it was the turn of Zhou Ge’s family, Le’s family, and Zhang Poluo’s family.
Everyone helps each other, divides labor and cooperates to work faster.
Cheng Youliang takes care of his own rice fields in the morning, and then helps his cousin in the afternoon.
When Sister-in-law Cheng Youde, Brother Zhou and others went to the fields, they were shocked to see that the girl from Lejia had arrived a step ahead of them and had even laid down a circle of rice. Caught them and "tied them up": Why are these children so energetic and ferocious? Where should they put their faces in the prime of life?
Finally, a group of elders decided that since Xiao Lele was so strong, they should let her cut more rice. They would not be jealous of her quick hands and feet.
It took three days to cut the rice, pear fields, and transplant the rice seedlings. Cheng Youde’s family’s field was used for three days. On the 27th, he helped Liu Lu’s family grab both.
Classmate Le only worked for Liu Lu’s family for half a day. At noon, Zhou Qiufeng saw red and there were signs of labor. Le’s father and the girl immediately rented a van to go to the county town to wait for the birth, and left the house to her mother-in-law to take care of her. .
