Chapter 626: Giving birth
Being forced to eat a bowl of brown sugar, ginger soup and eggs, Xiao Le's heart was shattered. In order to make her father and Aunt Feng happy, she couldn't express her displeasure and said it was delicious against her will.
After eating, I packed my luggage carefully, moved the things I brought back to the refrigerator room, and took out some seafood to soak in preparation for a big meal in the evening.
I packed my luggage and went to the backyard to look around. The pig I had raised for more than a year at home was sold, leaving only two pigs that I bought in December last year. They have grown very fast, and there are a lot of chickens and ducks. In large groups, the six animals 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 matures early and matures 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 rush. It was too old to eat young corn.
Le Yun cooked the corn cobs and ate them. She 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 so busy that she made hundreds of dumplings by the time the sun went down. Then process the seafood.
When the sun went down and the people who were rushing to work 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 a special opinion on our family. If you go, it won't be good if we quarrel with you again, so I'd better 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, you just do things according to your mood. If you quarrel, just quarrel and fight. It's no big deal."
"Xiaofeng, don't encourage Lele. Lele likes fighting the most." Lele's father wanted to cry. His little cotton-padded jacket was the one who would settle the matter by starting a fight if they disagreed. Xiaofeng also supported Lele's fight. That's right. It suits her.
"Humph, dad, when did I become a person who likes to fight? I don't use fists when it comes to arguing, and I don't argue when I can solve things with fists. Dad doesn't love me anymore, so I'll go find Grandma Zhou."
Le Yun protested and ran away with a bag of dumplings.
Xiao Lele slipped away, and Zhou Qiufeng smiled and rubbed her belly: "Shanshan, you will learn more from your sister in the future. We don't bully others actively. If others want to bully us, we should not be afraid of getting into trouble. When it is time to fight back, we must retaliate in kind."
Dad Le silently shut up. Well, my wife is supporting Xiao Mian and Xiao Jie, what else can he say? Don't say anything, just do what you have to do.
Because it was getting dark, the people who were working together were finishing their work one after another. There were people coming and going outside. Dad Le picked up the crutch again and used it to carry pig food and feed the pigs and chickens and ducks. His little cotton-padded jacket didn't tell him to throw away the crutch, so I have to hold on for now.
Brother Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhou went to help Cheng Youliang's family in a double robbery at around three o'clock in the afternoon. Zhou Tianming will be the second year of high school when school starts. He has to make up for classes and has not come back yet. Zhou Chunmei came back from vacation. She couldn't bear the hardship of double robbery and did not go to help the Cheng family. Harvest.
Zhou Chunmei was watching TV with the air conditioner on in the lower room. 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. When she saw little Lele jumping into the house happily, she said, "Ouch, ouch, ouch." "Lele, when did you come back? Your dad said you won't be home until tomorrow."
"I'll be here after noon, Grandma Zhou, have you missed me? I miss you very much. I know you are at home, so I came over to see you." Le Yun slid over a bamboo chair and sat down next to Grandma Zhou. , and then took Grandma Zhou’s round fan to help fan the mosquitoes away.
"Why 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 go to my house for dinner in the evening. ”
"It's very expensive to fly." Grandma Zhou held a bag of dumplings and sighed with emotion. Xiao Lele was very diligent and made food as soon as she came home. It's not like her Chunmei who has been back for two days and even rice. I haven't touched the tank yet.
"The flight fee of more than 1,000 yuan is not too expensive." Le Yun just answered. When she saw 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, but 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 and whether she was wearing famous brands.
Walking out of the living room downstairs, she saw Le Yun sitting in the upper room looking 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."
< br>
Grandma Zhou took the dumplings to put in the refrigerator, and Xia Long went to help others with the double robbery. They had dinner at Cheng's house in the evening, so naturally they had to save the dumplings for tomorrow morning.
"Le Yun, isn't my aunt at home?" Grandma didn't care about herself. Zhou Chunmei pretended to be casual and asked Le Yun. Her aunt is pregnant and has the right to share the Le family's property after giving birth to a child. Le Yun will definitely be angry if she finds out. She is now She was still smiling, so her aunt must have gone to the county town for a check-up and was not home.
"Yes, 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 if the new mother was at home. He just wanted to ask her if she knew about Aunt Feng's pregnancy, and wanted to know her attitude towards Aunt Feng's baby.
at home? Zhou Chunmei was stunned. Le Yun agreed that her aunt would have another child.
She didn't believe that Le Yun really agreed to someone competing with her for the family property, and asked: "My aunt is about to give birth, 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 is carrying a baby boy in her belly. I will have a younger brother soon."
Le Yun happily revealed the gossip. Seeing Zhou Chunmei's face turned ugly, she pretended not to notice. When she saw Grandma Zhou put away the things and came out, she jumped up: "Grandma Zhou, let's go there quickly. My dad is waiting for me to go back." Fried seafood.”
At the end, he waved his little hand towards Zhou Chunmei: "Sister Chunmei, Grandma Zhou is going to my house for dinner. You don't have to worry. I will take Grandma Zhou back in the evening."
Zhou Chunmei looked at Le Yun who was happily saying that she was going to have a younger brother soon, and was struck by lightning. 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 a boy. The girl was married outside, so it was reasonable not to mind. If her aunt gave birth to a boy, it was impossible for the Le family to give birth to a boy without dividing the family property. Son, can Leyun accept it?
In shock, she heard that the Le family had seafood to eat at night. Zhou Chunmei thought of the delicious seafood the Le family gave her during the Chinese New Year and the first month of the year. She thought that Le Yun called her "Sister Chunmei" to ask her to go to the Le family together. She was about to agree, but who Zhi Leyun just told her to pick up her grandma.
Instantly, I was so angry that my lungs exploded. I knew she was at home and didn’t 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 had to be cooked by themselves before they could be eaten. Zhou Chunmei almost grinded her teeth through her back alveolus. She was so angry that she took eggs and vegetables to the kitchen to cook. She only knew how to scramble eggs. The simplest.
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 after having 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 Yue Qing's house instead.
Lejia had a very happy dinner. The girl from Lejia knew how to cook. She made three delicious seafood dishes that were suitable for all ages, even pregnant women. She also fried vegetables. Grandma Zhou's face was red after eating.
When Brother Zhou arrived at Lejia, he suddenly realized that the girl from Lelejia was picking him up. 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 pack of pills. Brother Zhou also took away a pack of packaged seafood. Mother and son went home happily.
Brother Zhou did not 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 is never willing to give favors to the one she loves. If she is Liu Tong knew that Lele gave his mother health-preserving pills and would secretly steal some for himself even if he didn't steal them.
Grandma Zhou took a pill before going to bed and 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 felt happy in her heart and had a smile on her face.
Le Yun checked the new mother's body and found that it was still a few days before giving birth, 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. After dinner, she sent her father to work and finished the housework. She asked Feng What did Auntie eat at home to support the fetus? I went to help Aunt Cheng Youde Liu's family cut rice.
Cheng Youliang's family's rice 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 took care of his own rice field in the morning, and then helped his cousin in the afternoon.
When Sister-in-law Cheng Youde, Brother Zhou and others went to the fields, they were surprised to see that the girl from Lejia had already arrived before them, and had even laid down a circle of rice. A group of people just wanted to catch the little cotton-padded jackets from Yueqing and "clean them up": Why are the children so energetic and ferocious? Where can I 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.
Cutting rice, pear fields, and transplanting rice seedlings, after a set of procedures, Cheng Youde's family's field took three days, and on the 27th, he helped Liu Lu's family grab both.
Le's classmate only helped Liu Lu's family with work for half a day. At noon, Zhou Qiufeng saw red and there were signs of labor. Le's father and the girl immediately booked a van to go to the county town to wait for the birth, leaving the house to her mother-in-law to take care of her.
