A good harvest is a joy. The weather in July is as hot as fire. Grasses are flying around the boundary of Yangmei Village. Handfuls of heavy ears of grain are cut off and piled into piles. Then they are taken to the threshing floor to be beaten with sticks, leaving dust and chaff.
Flying.
Tian Minyan's family worked together to harvest the crops, and they had plenty of manpower. It only took two and a half days to harvest the land belonging to Uncle Zhu and Luo Huzi's family, and then to the land belonging to Uncle Tian Qi's family.
Tian Minyan also went to help cut two handfuls of rice, but although her body and bones were stronger than those rich ladies, she was still small and thin. After cutting a few handfuls of rice with a sickle, she was already dizzy from the sun. Tian Huairen also
I didn't dare to let her do it, so I just asked her to help cook at various houses.
On this day, Tian Minyan and Luo Shi both went to the seventh uncle's house to help make lunch.
The seventh uncle's family also has three sons and three daughters. The family is very prosperous, and the family has not yet been divided. The youngest daughter is only a few years older than Tian Minyan, and is only sixteen years old. It is the time to discuss the marriage.
Mr. Tian is in his forties and is a hard-working farmer. He has given birth to three children. The eldest son Tian Dafu is the husband of Tian Minyan, who calls him his eldest sister-in-law. Mr. Tian heard that he had taken his wife and children out to explore the world a long time ago.
He didn't come back for five or six years, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Tian Laosan, who was not yet thirty, gave birth to a son and a daughter.
There are seven people in the seventh uncle's family working in the fields at the moment, and those cooking at home are the seventh uncle's wife, the third daughter-in-law, and the younger daughter.
"This is better for you, the third house. Now that you are old, you have hired long-term workers. This land, oh, there is more land than our old field." The seventh uncle laughed while picking vegetables: "Brother Ren.
Daughter-in-law, you are also blessed, with many children and many blessings."
"Seventh Aunt, you are also lucky. My eldest brother and the others are very filial. It's good that four generations live under the same roof." Luo Shi was peeling a loofah and said with a smile, "Even my eldest sister-in-law and younger siblings have never seen them become famous.
Face, it would be better if the second brother comes back."
Speaking of the second son of the Qifang Tian family, the seventh uncle was a little unhappy and sighed: "In these years, there is no news about him. I don't know whether he is dead or alive. I don't expect him."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for the second brother to deliver the message. You can just wait for the second brother to carry the yellow and white things back to you in the future." Luo Shi said: "Don't think about other things. Eat and drink when you should."
"That's all I can do. What else can I do?" Uncle Seven sighed again, and then said, "You are already very pregnant. When will the baby be born? You need to call me early then."
"Don't worry, you will be required to deliver the baby by then. It's only five months old now, I'm afraid it won't be until December." Luo Shi touched his belly and said with a smile.
Uncle Seventh is a well-known midwife in the village. She has delivered babies to many people, including Tian Minyan's brothers and sisters. In fact, most of the people in Uncle Seventh's family live off the money that Uncle Seventh gets from delivering babies.
"Let me touch it." After hearing this, the seventh uncle put down the food in his hand, waved his hand, wiped it on his body, and then touched Luo Shi's belly, saying at the same time: "Touch it, you will have a lot of blessings, uncle...
I'm so lucky to have you, and all kinds of monsters and monsters should stay away from me..."
The seventh uncle has delivered countless babies, and she is also a meritorious person. She is also a member of the fourth generation. Letting her touch her belly is to bring happiness and longevity to the child. Luo Shi just smiled and let her rub her belly gently through her clothes.
caressing.
After a moment, my uncle smiled and said: "It's a single child, so it's safe, but..."
"Seventh Aunt, what's the problem?" Luo Shi's face changed slightly, and he grabbed her hand nervously. Even Tian Minyan, who was not far away, became nervous.
"No, it's safe. It's just that my old lady looks at you like a baby girl."
After hearing this, Tian Minyan and Luo Shi breathed a sigh of relief. Tian Minyan had known for a long time that Luo Shi's baby was a daughter, but the seventh uncle knew it just by touching it, which was really amazing.
But she didn't know that the seventh uncle had delivered countless babies and had great merits. She was somewhat accurate in guessing the gender, so there were many times when pregnant women in the village would ask her to feel their belly and ask her whether they were male or female.
Fortunately, the seventh uncle believed in Bodhisattva and did not favor boys over girls. Even if she knew she was a daughter, she would not say it too clearly. Otherwise, some people, fearing they would be unhappy, would just say that even a daughter is equally filial.
"Auntie, you scared me." Luo Shi said angrily, "It's okay even for my daughter. It hurts just as much. Two sons and two daughters, that's fine too."
"No, look at your beautiful girl, she is just like that, no worse than that boy. I often tell people outside that even daughters are good, and they are considerate of becoming mothers to us. After all, it is a girl.
The son is more affectionate."
Luo Shi glanced at Tian Minyan, agreed, and said, "Isn't that right? It's all meat coming out of your own intestines. How can it not hurt? My daughter feels the same pain."
She glanced at Uncle Seventh's old daughter Tian Tian'er, who was lowering her head to wash rice over there, and asked quietly: "Aunt Seventh, my Tian'er girl has grown up like a flower. This matchmaker has already crossed the threshold, but...
Which family do you like?"
"I'm just looking at you. Do you have a good family? We don't want to be rich. As long as you are honest and sincere, willing to do things, and can love others, your life will be fine." The seventh uncle immediately muttered.
, is related to the lifelong happiness of the old girl, and is her most precious, so naturally she cares about it more than anyone else.
Although the two of them murmured, the farmer's voice was loud. Even if he lowered his voice, it still reached Tian Minyan and the others, and Tian Tian'er turned red with embarrassment.
Tian Minyan smiled, squatted next to her, bumped into her, and asked: "Sweet aunt, do you have a sweetheart?"
Tian Tian'er is shy. When she heard this question, her face turned red and her face started to bleed. She clicked her tongue and said, "Girl Yan, come and make fun of me too. See if I don't hit you."
As he spoke, he put down the rice basin in his hand and chased Tian Minyan to beat her. For a moment, the two of them were chasing each other all over the yard.
"Hey, you two, look carefully at the food on the floor. How old are you and are you still making trouble?" The seventh uncle giggled when she saw the two girls running around the yard. She couldn't help but laugh and curse: "They are all big people who are getting married."
She is a girl, but she is still like a child, so she puts the rice in the pot quickly, so that the men in the field may be hungry."
After hearing this, Tian Tian'er stomped her feet in shame: "Mom..." She stopped chasing Tian Minyan and walked into the kitchen with the wooden basin of rice to cook, making several adults laugh.
.
After the laughter, the seventh uncle came to Luo Shi's ear mysteriously and said, "Hey, Brother Ren and his wife, do you know that Brother Xiao and the others made a big joke in Henghe."
Tian Minyan's ears perked up after hearing this, and she hurriedly walked over with a gossipy look on her face: "Uncle, is there something bad going on over there?"
