"Mother knows, mother will never be confused again..." Mrs. Leng whimpered, "Huzi, his tigers don't even know mother anymore."
She saw Huzi once before and wanted to tell him to shut up, but it turned out that Huzi didn't know her at all and said that his mother's name was Lu Yanru, so she was not an old lady like her.
Yingbao saw that the two mothers and daughters were very talkative, so she took the pony to deliver the food first.
When he came to the cotton field, he shouted: "dinner is ready!"
People who were working came one after another. "Hey! Xiaoying Bao will come tomorrow to deliver food."
"That's wrong, I'm cooking fish tomorrow."
She brought out all kinds of dishes, including braised fish, pork stewed with red cabbage, cold garlic courgette, a bucket of leek and egg soup, and a big bucket of red rice.
He also took out a pile of pottery bowls and served food to everyone.
More than a dozen hired workers gathered around, each carrying a large bowl of red rice, and squatted at the head of the field to eat.
Among the hired workers, many were fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys. They were children from poor families in other villages. They came to Dongchen Village with the adults to earn some money.
Not only can you make money, but you can also have two meals a month, both of which include meat dishes.
Soon the large bucket of rice was eaten by everyone, and no vegetables were left at all. Even the leek and egg soup was all consumed.
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, they walked around for a while and continued to pull cotton stalks in the fields.
Ying Bao packed up the rice pail, put the dishes and chopsticks in the basket, and asked the pony to carry them back.
All kinds of wild grasses and flowers grow along the fields, all of which are considered medicinal herbs in her eyes.
Ying Bao took out the small medicine hoe that she had prepared long ago and began to dig. She dug out some of the medicinal materials and put them into the cave.
When we walked to the place where Erni and Mrs. Leng met, Mrs. Leng had already left, and Erni was squatting on the ground with her knees in her hands, crying.
Seeing Ying Bao, she wiped away her tears and stood up, silently walking back.
"Yingbao, his mother is so pitiful. He wants to bring her to our village." Erni said with tears in her eyes.
Ying Bao was speechless.
It was hard for her to express her opinion on that matter.
Erni added: "He wants to build a hut over there in the wasteland. A bamboo shack is also fine. Let her live there so that he can take care of her easily."
Jiang Erlang also bought some wasteland, which was a little far away from the village, so he didn't have time to tidy it up.
Ying Bao turned around and asked, "If I get married, who will take care of her?"
Is it possible to let Huzi take over?
If that's the case, where will the second uncle Yan Ru be placed?
Erni's tears welled up in her eyes. She paused for a moment and said, "Then...then he won't marry in the future."
Ying Bao sighed slightly in her heart and refused to shut up.
In fact, if Leng didn't do it at the beginning, it would not be bad to live with a man named Zuo.
She and the man already had two children, one of whom was a boy. For the sake of his son, Zuo Cheng could not abandon Mrs. Leng.
Walking to the pond, Erni took the rice bucket, soup bucket, bowl and chopsticks from the pony's back, and squatted by the pond to wash them.
After washing, I rinsed my face with water, and then I went home with Yingbao.
In the next few days, Erni often went out to meet with Mr. Leng and gave her cloth and money.
After Mrs. Leng got the cloth, she would make clothes and shoes for Erni and Huzi, but she herself always wore rags.
Sometimes, Yingbao would see the mother and daughter walking in the orchard. Shitou was sewing, and Erni would secretly bring the delicious food from home to Mrs. Leng.
Fast forward to October, and the harvest of the first batch of mushrooms for next year begins.
The village started to go out again, and even Chu Chu, who was pregnant with her belly, went to dry the mushrooms.
She and her husband also built a mushroom shed next to the house and planted a lot of golden ears in it. This was the third harvest, a total of 400 golden ears.
If you dry them all in the sun, you can probably get about ten kilograms of golden ears. If you sell them to Manager Zhou, you can get thirty taels of silver.
Second Aunt Wang passed by Zhang Meng's house and saw that Chu Chu was busy with her big belly. She smiled and asked, "Hey, she's almost full term. Please hurry up and ask her mother-in-law to come and take care of her."
Chu Chu's husband, Zhang Meng, is not a local, so it is not possible for her husband's family to come to take care of her during the confinement period.
Chu Chu smiled: "He can do it on his own."
She doesn't have any kind of natal family.
After my father planted a seed in the fungus and saved a lot of money in his legs, he soon married a second wife.
The step-brother was young and was diagnosed with pregnancy in just three months, so how could Keke take care of herself.
Aunt Wang clicked her tongue a few times, shook her head, and went to the pond to do laundry with her basket in hand.
Zhang Meng also heard Aunt Wang's words, came out of the room, and looked at his wife worriedly, "Should I ask someone to accompany me?"
He wanted to go to the martial arts training ground every day to teach his children how to practice martial arts. He only went there for a few hours, and he couldn't spare any time to take care of his wife.
Moreover, this is the most demanding period, and even Mrs. Wen who is here said that someone must watch her, because Chu Chu is approaching her due date, and Ke Ke can give birth anytime, anywhere.
Chu Chu shook her head: "No, Ying Bao often comes to check his pulse recently, he will be fine."
Ying Bao did come to check her pulse every day, at noon and east noon.
Seeing that she had a bad appetite, I brought her some juice.
So Chu Chu was not worried about what would happen to her.
That day, as soon as Yingbao gave Chu Chu the fetal sound, she heard someone outside shouting: "Is Chu Chu at home?"
Chu Chu quickly put on her clothes, got up and walked out of the house.
I saw several women coming outside, one of them was a pretty girl.
Chu Chu saw the person coming clearly and frowned slightly.
Among those women were her young stepmother, Xiao Sun, Chu Man's biological mother, Sun Erniang, and Mrs. Chu, the wife of the Chu patriarch.
And the eldest girl who was eighteen or nineteen years old turned out to be Chu Man.
"Grandma, why are we here? Come into the house quickly." Chu Chu asked several people to enter the house.
Mrs. Chu looked at Yidong Chuchu with a smile, and asked with a smile: "Are you about to give birth?"
"Well, the baby is due on October 9th." Chu Chu invited a few people to go east, and then went to use the charcoal stove to make tea to entertain the guests.
Mrs. Chu: "Stop living, let's take a look and go back soon."
The old lady looked at Yidong Chuchu's house and nodded: "Chuchu, I found a good husband. Look at that house, everything is lacking."
Sun Erniang echoed: "No, Chu Chu, if the chaff fell into the rice vat, we would not have to worry about food and clothing in that life. Oh, Chu Chu, I have to thank my great grandfather. If they didn't send me there, where would I be?"
But the marriage was so smooth?"
Chu Chu lowered his eyes, and his expression gradually turned cold.
Yingbao picked up the receiver and was about to go home, when the old lady asked: "Who is that girl?"
Chu Chu pulled Ying Bao's leg and said, "She is Jiang Cunzheng's daughter, his god sister." Chu Chu recognized Chun Niang as her godmother and Jiang Sanlang as her godfather, so Ying Bao naturally became her god sister.
"Oh, she turns out to be Jiang Muruzheng's daughter. She is such a handsome girl." Mrs. Chu smiled and touched Ying Bao's head.
Sun Erniang also smiled and said, "Are you sure?" She looked a little embarrassed.
Chu Chu's stepmother looked honest, dull and not good at words, so she smiled slightly at Ying Bao.
Chu Man was different. She glanced at Ying Bao unkindly, walked towards the bench, and looked at the environment in the room by herself, with disdain on her face.
Chu Chu got into conflict with those people for no reason, and whispered to Ying Bao: "Ying Bao, don't leave yet."
Yingbao nodded and walked east on a small stool.
Those people obviously came with bad intentions, so she asked to see what they wanted to do when they came to Chu Chu's place.
