Chapter 437 Rare is more valuable
Because there are too many mosquitoes on the mountain, and some of them bite people very painfully. If we can prevent the children from suffering, we will not let them suffer.
However, Xia Chan lets the children play in the courtyard most of the time, but she has to arrange for someone to accompany them there. After all, they are all children. What if they go swimming in the hot spring river privately, and they drown?
In September, Xia Chan sent Jin Pengyuan, Xiao Tiantian and Grandma Xiao to the county town and checked into a hotel. When Xiao Tiantian started to work, she could go directly to the county hospital.
Su Yu now works in the county hospital. Although she is not an obstetrics and gynecologist, she is an outstanding graduate from a prestigious university. She can arrange anything.
With Grandma Xiao and Jin Pengyuan by Xiao Tiantian's side, Xia Chan doesn't have to worry about them. Xia Chan can be the best help to them by keeping an eye on Jin Yanyan at home.
The village had a phone call long before they took the college entrance examination. When Jin Pengyuan arrived, he could use the hospital phone to call the village to notify them.
Entering autumn, it is the harvest season. Many crops are mature at this time, such as soybeans, peanuts, sweet potatoes... Xia Bin, Jin Pengfei, and Zhou Qizhi are responsible for the autumn harvest of their family. After the things are returned home, the four Just divide the family equally.
The three granddaughters of Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao are all married in this courtyard, and they all eat the same food as everyone else. There is enough food anyway, so there is no need to divide it so carefully.
After harvesting the food at home, the three of them went to dig wild yams. They had not dug for more than five years. The yams should have spread over a large area now. It is estimated that tens of thousands of kilograms of yams can be dug this year.
That hilltop also belongs to Xia Chan. Now that he is digging yams on his own hilltop, naturally no one can say anything.
After digging out the yams, give some yams to people you know well, and keep the rest until it snows and give them to market vendors. In winter, stew a pot of yam and pork ribs soup, not to mention how warm it is.
When there were yam beans before, Xia Chan collected a lot of yam beans and planted them in the small yard. In the future, they would have a steady supply of yams.
There are too many yams, and my brothers dig them every day. I don’t know how long it will take to dig them all, so now I can only go to the mountains to harvest the taro she planted.
Taro grows by the water, not in the water, so when the swamp was converted into a fish pond, it did not affect the taro on the edge. However, she has to go there almost every day because she has to feed the poultry. , so there was no rush for the taro there. She went to harvest the taro planted elsewhere first.
On this day, when Xia Chan was harvesting taros, she suddenly heard her name being called on the village radio, asking her to go to the hospital tomorrow to pick up Jin Pengyuan and others from the hospital. Xia Chan knew that Xiao Tiantian's child was born two days ago, but I never thought why I didn’t call back immediately after giving birth.
The next morning, Xia Chan had breakfast at home and brought some food in a lunch box. Then she went down the mountain to drive a tractor to the county hospital. When she arrived at the hospital, she gave one of the lunch boxes to Su Yu and carried the other lunch box to find her. Xiao Tiantian.
At this moment, Xiao Tiantian and the others had packed up and were waiting to be discharged from the hospital. Xia Chan quickly handed her the lunch box, "Tiantian, eat something first, otherwise you will definitely be hungry after a while."
While Xiao Tiantian was eating, Xia Chan looked down at the newborn curiously and said with a smile, "Tiantian, is it a boy or a girl?"
Xiao Tiantian frowned, "Girl, Xiaochan, in our big family, are you the only one who has a boy in the end? Su Yu and I both had girls. What's going on?"
"Mimi hasn't given birth yet, who knows what will happen in the future." Xia Chan said with a smile, "Don't think too much, girls, we all live in the same yard, my two brats can ignore you from now on. Will your daughter not come to see my aunt when she comes home? We all have so many children, are you afraid that no one will be filial to you?”
Many people hope to have sons by their side to take care of them in old age, but sons may not necessarily take care of their parents in old age. When they have a wife, they will focus on their own small family. At most, their parents can see them often, but that is not necessarily the case. Can enjoy their filial piety. In the past, children could not go out, so they stayed in the village. But now that the country is open, the children will work hard in other places. They may have settled in other places. When their parents get old, they may not see each other for a year, so it is really Don't think about raising children to protect yourself in old age.
Xia Chan had never had this thought. She had thought before that when she got old, she would hire a reliable person in the village to take care of her.
But he would never be willing to ask her to go to a big city to join her son and daughter-in-law and see how they live their lives. She would only contribute money to the small family of her son and daughter-in-law, but she would never contribute because others would look down upon her contribution. , paying money can solve 99% of the worries.
Xiao Tiantian thought about it. Their family now has six children. Even if they can only raise one filial child, they will not leave it alone. Moreover, they have money in their hands, so they are not afraid that the children will not come back to see them. them.
After Xiao Tiantian finished eating, everyone was discharged from the hospital and went home. Xia Chan drove the tractor into the shed set up in the yard at the foot of the mountain and went back with the baby in her arms. Jin Pengyuan held Xiao Tiantian in his arms.
Back home, Xia Chan placed the baby next to Xiao Tiantian, and all five children came over to see the youngest sister.
"Everyone, let's go out and play. Don't disturb Aunt Tian and the baby from resting here." Xia Chan took the children out and did not let them in the room.
Because children are very powerful, it seems to deafen people's ears when they shout.
Xia Chan's two children want to call Xiao Tiantian aunt, and Su Yu's two children want to call Xiao Tiantian aunt. Who knows that their husbands are brothers and sisters of the Jin family, so the daughters of their two families They are cousins.
I don’t know why, but the children of brothers Jin Pengfei and Jin Pengyuan are all daughters, not a boy, but they are the same regardless of whether they are boys or girls.
With Grandma Xiao here, Xia Chan doesn't have to worry about Xiao Tiantian's confinement. Grandma Xiao stews soup for Xiao Tiantian every day. She has already replaced five big roosters and five old hens in the village. The chickens that Xia Chan had raised were only a few months old, and they still couldn't achieve the results of old chickens.
But it's not good to eat chicken all the time. Occasionally, Jin Peng has to go to the town to buy some meat, hooves and ribs to bring back Xiao Tiantian's appetite.
Otherwise, if she only eats chicken for the whole month, Xiao Tiantian probably won’t want to eat anything related to chicken in the future.
Xia Chan also brought a bucket of fish caught from the hot spring river in a wooden bucket and kept it in a wooden basin for Xiao Tiantian to eat slowly.
Because Xiao Tiantian didn't need to worry about it, Xia Chan went to do her own thing. This season is the harvest season. Not only does she have to collect things on the mountain, but she also has to go to the small courtyard to collect things.
Some fruits were ripe during this season, so she had to go inside quickly to pick them, and then put them in her own space to preserve them until it snowed.
Rare things are more valuable, and they will definitely be sold at a good price when the time comes.
