After a while, a burst of crying came. Mrs. Gu came out smiling with her child in her arms.
"Congratulations, another son!"
"Ah, my stomach still hurts, and there's another one!" came the cry of Mrs. Liu, the cheap mother-in-law, in the room. Mrs. Gu hurriedly put the child into Old Man Li's arms and ran in again!
Old Man Li was holding the child and laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. Li Sanzhi was pacing back and forth worriedly while holding the child. This time, soon there was a cry like a cat meowing. Yuezhen's heart tightened. This baby was crying so much.
I'm afraid Xiaosheng has some inherent shortcomings!
Mrs. Gu took the baby out and gave it to Old Man Li. She smiled and said, "Congratulations, you are always blessed. Your wife has given birth to triplets, and you have three sons! This is the first time since I delivered a baby!"
Li Sanzhi held the child and asked hurriedly: "Aunt, how is Hui Niang?"
"Don't worry, your wife is fine! Now she's exhausted and fell into a coma. However, her body was hurt this time, and there was a lot of bleeding. Maybe your wife was in good health before, and the bleeding finally stopped.
Now, you should quickly let Dr. Liu take a look at it. These three babies were born less than a month old. I don’t think they are as good as your other babies when they were just born!" Mrs. Gu said with some worry, based on her many years of experience in delivering babies.
It seems that the baby born last will be difficult to feed.
Old Man Li quickly asked Dr. Liu from the village to check their pulse. Dr. Liu, who was carrying a medicine box, quickly checked the pulses of the three children one by one, and then touched his beard and thought for a while.
"Unsatisfied, Uncle Li said that I am not good at academics, but according to my diagnosis, the three newborn children of Brother Sanzhi were all born before full term, and the mother's body was not well nourished, so I am afraid it will be difficult to feed them!
It's okay to take good care of the first two, but the last one has been held in the mother's womb for too long. You must be mentally prepared for this!" Dr. Liu is the barefoot doctor in the village, and his medical skills are passed down from generation to generation.
, about forty, some people in the village who have serious illnesses or minor pains come to him. People in this village also know the situation of the Li family. "If you believe me, I will prescribe some medicine first. If you don't believe it, you can go to the town."
You can go find a doctor and take a look."
"How can I not believe you? Just prescribe the medicine. The third child will follow Dr. Liu to get the prescription and medicine!" Old Man Li hugged his grandson and felt nervous, and hurriedly ordered his son to get the medicine.
Li Sanzhi's eyes were full of tears at this time, thinking that his newborn child might not be safe, and he didn't know how sad and self-blame his wife must be. He hurriedly handed the child to his boss, Li Youping, to hold him, wiping his tears with his sleeves.
He said: "Doctor Liu, I've made you laugh. Can you please help me check on my wife first? If something happens, we can go get some medicine together!"
"Okay! Don't be too sad. I'm just talking. Maybe it'll be fine if you take good care of it!" Dr. Liu comforted. Old man Li also felt that his son's words made sense, so he handed the child over to Yuezhen.
My second brother, Li Youan, took Dr. Liu to wait in the main room. There was an ancient rule that men should not enter after giving birth to a child with strong vitality. Although it was urgent, he still had to wait until the midwives had packed up before entering.
Mrs. Liu fell asleep from exhaustion after giving birth. After Mrs. Gu and her daughter-in-law helped tidy up, they helped move Mrs. Liu to the kang in the west wing of the third bedroom. (In ancient times, women gave birth to babies.
Children were not allowed in their own rooms, as they thought it would be unlucky, so the Li family's wife gave birth to her children in the wood room. Seeing that nothing happened, Mrs. Gu and her wife said goodbye and left. Li Sanzhi sent them out and gave them dozens of copper coins.
I went to the main room and invited Dr. Liu, who carefully took my pulse: "Your wife suffered a lot during the birth. I'm afraid she won't be able to recover until she has a good recovery period. She won't be able to go to the ground for at least three months, and she won't be able to go to the ground for a year."
She works in the fields, and I’m afraid she will have to take good care of herself for a few years before she can have a child. I’ll give her some side medicine to try first!”
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as Huiniang is fine, it doesn't matter if I don't have children in the future. I already have nine children, and having two children is enough! I will take good care of them in the future!" Li Sanzhi said hurriedly, taking out his personal money in the room.
He said sheepishly, "Dr. Liu, I only have a little more than one tael of silver here. You can take it first. You can prescribe the medicine without any worries. I won't waste it!"
Doctor Liu sighed, "It's not easy for you too. You should take the money yourself first. I'm afraid you have to buy some good food for your younger siblings. Don't refuse. We grew up together when we were young. You are like this
Don't forget the friendship we had before with the shouting of doctor. I know what kind of person you are, but the health of my siblings is more important!" Dr. Liu also knew about the Li family's connections.
These three wisdoms are difficult at home, so just try to help them as much as you can!
"Thank you, Brother Cangmu. If you ask me something from now on, I will do my best!" Li Sanzhi solemnly promised and followed Dr. Liu to get medicine.
After Doctor Liu and Li Sanzhi left, Yue Zhen sat by the kang and watched. Perhaps it was the blood connection or the remaining consciousness of little Yue Zhen. Looking at the three little brothers side by side who had not yet opened their eyes, Yue Zhen
Jane felt so warm in her heart that she didn't even dare to blink.
Yuezhen, who was an orphan in her previous life, longed for family affection. In the memory of little Yuezhen, although there were times when she was bullied by some of her best relatives, most of it was the love of her parents and brothers, and her younger brother's obedience and dependence. Yuezhen is very grateful to God.
When she came here, she thought: This is the real salvation God gave her! Although she feels sorry for little Yuezhen for taking her body, from today on she is little Yuezhen and will treat her parents and brothers well.
.
After a while, Father Li and the three brothers who led Yue Zhen came in, holding a large clay pot in their hands. Inside was boiled chicken, which was delicious. Li Sanzhi saw that Mrs. Liu was still sleeping, and put the
The stove in the room was moved out, because there is a long period of cat winter here in winter. The room where the Li family is married has always made their own food during the cat winter, and only shared some food. Therefore, how many rooms in the Li family are there?
All have stoves.
However, there are many people and few rooms. There are only three green brick houses in the main house, one of which is used as the main room, the two on the left and right, one for Grandpa Li and Mr. Feng, and the other for the uncle and his family. In front of the main house is a small courtyard with a fence.
, there are various vegetables on the left and right sides of the house, and some firewood is piled in the open space; the east and west compartments are made of bricks and tiles, each with four rooms. The second room in the east room is occupied by the family, and the other one is given to the big room.
The eldest daughter, Li Zizhen, lives with her younger aunt. After her younger aunt gets married, she will leave the main room to her. The last room will be used to store food and serve as a utility room. One room in the west wing is occupied by Yuezhen's family, and the other room is for the four-bedroom family.
The fifth uncle in the fifth room occupied one room. Because he had to take the scholar exam and needed some peace and quiet, he lived there alone. The other room was the big room where his two sons lived. There were three reverse rooms opposite the main house, which were made of adobe bricks and thatched roofs.
There is a house, a woodshed, a pig house, and a chicken house. There is a courtyard door on the side of the house. The chickens, grain harvested during the busy farming season, and other things come in and out from here. There is a big patio in the middle.
, there are two persimmon trees inside, and under the trees is a well. The kitchen is located in the east corner of the front yard, and it is an adobe thatched house.
In fact, it stands to reason that Yuezhen's family should have two bedrooms in three rooms. After all, they have many children. However, due to Feng's displeasure with her family, the other families are either jealous of her having many sons or dislike her children.
More labor, less expense, more rations, and they don’t like Sanfang and his family very much. I am afraid that only Grandpa Li and Uncle Li do not bully Sanfang and his family. However, Old Man Li pays more attention to his eldest son who has been admitted as a scholar and is born auspicious.
It is said that he is a child of a noble person, so he naturally ignores the third room. Uncle Li ranks in the middle. He doesn't talk much on weekdays, and his ability is not obvious. He is a person who can be ignored, so he naturally has no say.
Li Sanzhi was helpless. After all, she was the mother who gave birth to him, so she couldn't help it if she was partial. Mrs. Liu was a generous person. She grew up reading the female precepts when she was young. She believed in obeying her husband when she got married and being filial to her father.
Aunt, I don’t care too much. Fortunately, the room in ancient times was large, and there were two rooms separated by curtains. In summer, the three brothers of the Li family slept on the wooden bed in the front, and the three brothers and sisters Yuezhen and their parents were in the back.
Sleeping on the kang, the whole family slept on the kang in winter. Fortunately, the kang was big. Yue Zhen also felt that the Li family's treatment of their third bedroom was too much. The advantageous father was not favored by grandma Feng, so the uncle occupied it alone.
Even if you can't sleep in the study room in the two rooms, you can ask your eldest nephew to sleep with you. Besides, my uncle still lives in the county school all year round. I would rather leave the room empty and let my nephew squeeze it. It's really selfish.
Very.
Li Sanzhi and his three sons raised the stove and stewed chicken soup, preparing to drink it when Mr. Liu woke up. Then he borrowed the stove from his fourth brother Li Laizhi and took a jar to boil medicine. He asked Li Youxi, the fifth son, to watch, and then took Li Erlang with him.
I and Li Silang washed the diapers and small clothes that the previous brothers had used. Since I only estimated that I was pregnant with twins, and it was only more than 7 months old, I didn’t make much preparation. There were not enough diapers and clothes, so I had to use them now.
Be prepared.
"Third brother, I boiled some red eggs. Do you think I'm going to go to my uncle and sister to tell the good news?" Mrs. Zhang came over with a basket and sighed thinking of her mother-in-law's indifferent attitude.
If it weren't for her father-in-law's instructions, she really didn't know what to do, and she was ridiculed by her mother-in-law. She really didn't understand why the third brother in the family always took home the most money, but he was still the least popular.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is tired. I'll go as soon as I'm done!" Li Sanzhi, who was hanging clothes to dry, replied.
"Third brother, hurry up and go. I'm here to help look after it. My in-laws and uncles are still in the county. It's not close to here. It will take nearly two hours for the oxcart to go. It's already noon, so hurry up!"
Mrs. Zhang thought that she could help if she could!
"Well... my sister-in-law is tired, so I'll go first. I just wanted to go to the county to buy some things for your sister-in-law to replenish!" Li Sanzhi stopped refusing and asked Yuezhen and others in detail to take care of his mother and younger brother.
, he went into the hall and reported to his parents, then drove the ox cart to the county seat.
Mrs. Zhang helped to dry the diapers and clothes one by one before going back to her own work. Yuezhen and her sister sat in rows beside the kang to watch over her mother. She saw her mother sleeping all the time. Yuezhen's two-year-old brother Jiulang
He flattened his mouth and cried, "Wow, second brother, I'm afraid, why doesn't my mother wake up yet? Is she going to be like Gouzi's mother and don't want me anymore!"
Gouzi is a child of a family in Yuezhen Village. His mother died of hemorrhage not long ago when giving birth to a baby, leaving behind a newborn child. Some people in the village said that Gouzi’s mother did not want Gouzi’s five siblings.
Yes! The dog has two sisters and one brother.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Mom was just too tired when she gave birth to her brothers. Brother Fu, if you don't cry, be careful not to wake mom up!" Yue Zhen hurriedly coaxed her brother.
"Really?" Jiulang turned to look at Yuezhen in the arms of his eldest brother Li Youping with eyes wide open, "Big sister, give me a hug!"
"Of course it's true! If you don't believe me, ask your brothers!" Yuezhen hugged Jiulang with difficulty.
Jiulang turned to look at his brothers. The Li brothers all nodded. Jiulang happily wiped his tears and leaned in Yuezhen's arms to look at his mother and brothers.
