After noon, people started to come to the house one after another. The first to come were all familiar families in the village. Everyone heard that a baby was born last night, and they all came from home carrying things. At this time, no one had many eggs, so many people came with hens, and some brought meat.
Chen Hong heard that Wan Feng had given birth, and she and Li Mei, Wu Yue and others each brought two chickens. Those who had eggs at home brought eggs. When the brothers who worked in the garment workshop heard that Cao Silang's daughter-in-law had given birth, none of them were stingy. They didn't know how many chickens they could buy with the money they earned from working for a month, so they were willing to grab two chickens from home.
In the past, people in the village kept the hens they kept to lay their own eggs. They were reluctant to eat the eggs, let alone take the hens to give away. Now everyone has a smile on their face, carrying chickens to give away for fear of being chased away.
But let's not forget that in the past, people in Caojia Village couldn't even get enough to eat a meal. Now, as long as they work hard and are willing to work, everyone can not only eat a meal, but also have a bite of meat every day.
"Come, have a drink of water." Cao Xiangnan poured water for the visitors. There were snacks on the table. The children who came with him took a snack. "Why did you bring so many things? My family has raised a lot of chickens. We are ready to kill them when Wanfeng is born to replenish his body. If you send so many more, my family will have to open a chicken farm."
He had never thought that when Wanfeng was born, the villagers would send eggs and chickens. This time, they brought chickens, eggs, and even pork. Each person brought two chickens, which was a considerable number.
"Your family's is your family's, what we give is our heart, how can it be the same." Chen Hong took the tea. His two boys were playing with An An and his group of children. The two children had been talking about coming to An An's place to play, but he brought them here today.
His family can now live in a big tiled house with green bricks, thanks to Cao Silang's place. This winter, they don't feel cold at all in the house. His husband is still in the shop in the town, and the family has a lot of income every month. Life is good, and he has not forgotten where these good things come from. As a human being, you should be grateful and repay kindness.
It's just a gift of two chickens, and he is still thinking about making a pair of small bracelets for the children. When her husband came back from the town, she asked him to go to the silver shop to find a master to make a pair of small bracelets, and then send them to her when the baby was one month old.
"You need to take good care of your body after giving birth. Don't say that you don't take your body seriously when you are young." The older ones began to talk about how to take care of your body after giving birth, and the ones who followed them talked about how to take care of their bodies.
Their family didn't have such conditions before. If they had been as good as they are now, they would have been able to take good care of their bodies after giving birth. If this brother doesn't take good care of his body after giving birth, it will be difficult to get pregnant. If he takes good care of his body, it will be easy to get pregnant the next time.
"We won't stay any longer. We can't rest here in the evening breeze with all the noise. We'll come back later." A group of people came and sat down to drink a cup of tea, and left without staying any longer.
Not long after Cao Xiangnan sent the people out, someone else came to the house.
Cao Wenxuan and Zhao A'mo came and delivered two chickens, and left without staying any more.
People from the village came one after another, and none of them came empty-handed, most of them came with things. What Cao Xiangnan didn't expect was that people also came from the compound, his father and mother, even his eldest brother and eldest brother's mother, several nephews, and Cao Laowu came together, but his eldest brother's mother Wang Yan didn't come.
"I heard from the village that Wanfeng has given birth. My family has raised a few chickens. I will bring two over. You can kill them and use them to nourish Wanfeng."
Cao Ashan knew that his fourth son's wife had given birth because his eldest son's wife came back and told him that Wanfeng had given birth.
Chen Li is now taking her children to the academy, and he will go with them. In the past, only the fifth uncle was studying in the family, and the whole family supported the fifth uncle to study. He was very jealous in his heart. Who doesn't want to send his own children to school?
After the family was divided, everyone still lived together, but they didn't eat together. He gave some rice and grain to his father and mother every month, and also gave some money. He was willing to do so. As long as he and his husband work hard, they will have some extra money in their pockets, unlike before when every penny had to be given back to his mother, and all the money went to his fifth uncle for school, but his own children had no school to go to.
The academy also has classes in winter, and they don't have to pay tuition to go to class. Whenever the academy has classes, Chen Li will take the children with her. At this time, there is no work in the fields, so she also asks her husband to go with them, even if they can only know a few words. He has made up his mind, and when March next year comes, he will send his children to school.
It was also today when he went to the academy and heard that his fourth uncle Qi Wanfeng had given birth, he turned around and told his father. When his father said he would bring two hens, his mother made a noise, but was suppressed by his father's words. Now she followed reluctantly.
"Fourth Uncle, I also have a few chickens here. It's a good opportunity to bring two over. You need to take good care of your body after giving birth." Chen Li also handed over the two hens in her hands and said with a smile.
Is Qi Wanfeng the same as before? Don't you see what kind of life their fourth uncle is living. Chen Li has not forgotten that when he had several children, not to mention a bowl of chicken soup, it was good to have an egg to eat. It was his mother's family who knew that he had children and sent him a few chickens and a few pounds of pork to nourish his body. Not
to mention that when Qi Wanfeng had children, his mother's stingy personality would not change at all, and she was reluctant to give Qi Wanfeng even an egg. His fourth uncle was not at home either. He came back in a hurry and left. He gave the money to his mother and didn't know what kind of life Qi Wanfeng lived at home.
In the past, he felt that it was none of his business. No matter what his mother did to Qi Wanfeng, he would not help. When he gave birth to his own children, he had nothing to eat. Why should you have delicious food after giving birth to a child? But now it was different. What kind of life was his fourth uncle leading here? He still hoped to get some benefits from his fourth uncle. Even if he didn't plan for himself, he had to plan for the little ones.
"Dad and big brother, it's good that you came. Why did you send these things?" Cao Xiangnan took a few chickens. He suspected that all the remaining hens in Caojia Village were sent to his house. The chickens sent here were more than the ones he had originally raised.
He gave the hens to Sun Bailian, who took them to the backyard and let them go and raised them in the chicken coop. The empty chicken coop was filled with the chickens sent by everyone today. He counted them and was really shocked.
Cao Xiangnan led everyone to sit in the living room, poured tea for everyone, and waved to a few kids to come over and call for help. An An was held in his father's arms, raised his eyes and glanced at his grandfather and grandmother, and called for help with an awkward expression on his little face.
Children are like this, their happiness or dislikes are all written on their faces. In the past, their grandmother often scolded him and poked him with her fingers, and An An didn't like his grandfather at all. As for those brothers who bullied him one by one, he was not happy to see them this time.
Xiangzi pulled his younger brother and followed An An to call for help, and Xuanxuan, who followed, pursed his lips but didn't say a word.
"An An has grown so tall, I can hardly recognize her. She is getting prettier and prettier." A hint of embarrassment flashed across Chen Li's face, but it quickly disappeared. An An looked a lot different from when she just left home.
It's different when you have money. You can eat well, live well, and wear new and beautiful clothes. It's not like the children in his family who don't have even a new piece of clothing and still wear last year's old clothes.
"Children grow up fast." Cao Xiangnan patted the children in his arms and let them go play.
Several children got permission and ran away.
Chen Li saw the handsome child with sharp eyes and asked, "Whose child is that?" He also did not ignore the handsome boy who came in and out of his fourth uncle's house. Why are there two more people in his fourth uncle's house?
"A friend's child." Cao Xiangnan didn't like Chen Li's inquiries, and lowered his eyelids to hide the disgust in his eyes.
The family sat together with a slight awkwardness. Chen Li said a few words, and his mother never showed any concern or anything. Wanfeng gave birth to a child, and to be honest, he didn't want to go to the compound to tell them, and Cao Xiangnan didn't expect to live on the chickens sent by the compound.
What made him unexpected was that the compound would send a few chickens over, and no wonder his mother was unhappy. Sending a few chickens was like asking for his life. He smiled coldly in his heart, don't expect him to let you take them back even if they are sent!
"We're going back too." Cao Ashan glanced at the woman who had been sitting here with a stern face from beginning to end, and he was angry again. It was not easy for her to come to Si'er's place, but who was she showing such a stern face to? After drinking a cup of tea, he stood up and said that he was going back.
Cao Xiangnan saw the group out, snorted and laughed, and closed the door.
Until they left the house, Cao Adie's face turned ugly, and he did not scold the woman at home. On the way back, several children talked about how big their fourth uncle's house was, how warm it was inside, and how much food there was, with envy in their eyes.
"Mom, can we go to Fourth Uncle's house next time?" When they went there, Mom told them not to fight with An An. Jin Bao and Yin Bao remembered it in their hearts. After all, there were so many snacks to eat at Fourth Uncle's house, so they didn't have time to fight with An An.
Hearing the child's words, Chen Li's embarrassment became more obvious. She perfunctorily said to the child, "Yes, you can go. That's your Fourth Uncle's house. Of course you can go."
But he also knew in his heart that Fourth Uncle's house was not a place they could just go in. He saw that Sun Bailian, an outsider, was like her own home at Fourth Uncle's house, while they, the relatives, were like outsiders. He felt a little dissatisfied with this, but he could only keep these dissatisfactions in his heart.
Who made Mu treat Fourth Uncle and Qi Wanfeng like that? Even he himself was not very good to Qi Wanfeng. My husband was dull and didn't know that he was the eldest brother and should get closer to his younger brother and make plans for his children. Looking at my husband who was with my father, Chen Li sighed in her heart and took her children back with my father and Mu.
