Chapter 201: Marriage
Secretary Su is so tolerant that even if Chu Hong wants to cause trouble, she can't, so there is no need to say more.
After all, this is not her own village. If she is too arrogant, she is a little worried that she will be beaten.
Therefore, Chu Hong didn't say anything more, and dragged her bicycle to the shade of the tree to wait for Chen Mei to come back.
When the onlookers saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, they all whispered to each other and went back in twos and threes.
After a busy morning, no one has had lunch yet. Even if they still want to watch the fun, they have to fill their stomachs first.
Secretary Su did not go back, but walked up to Chu Hong and asked, "I want to ask you something. How heavy are the chickens and ducks in your farm?"
Everyone in the countryside knows that it takes at least four months for chicks and ducklings to lay eggs.
Moreover, people nowadays are reluctant to feed chickens and ducks, so they grow even slower.
Chu Hong was not happy to talk to him and said perfunctorily: "Only staff can go to the farm. I am not a staff member, so I cannot go."
She really didn't know that Secretary Su really wanted to go and take a look, and she thought he was just making small talk.
Secretary Su couldn't express his thoughts, so he could only ask about his granddaughter.
Chu Hong was even more unwilling to say anything. She saw Chen Mei coming over with something from a distance, and then she rode over on her bike, picked up the things and left.
Even if I rode my bike back, it was a bit late. Everyone in my family had already eaten lunch and were looking for an opportunity to take a nap.
Only Gu Ci was waiting for her at the door. When she got off the bicycle, he took it and dragged it to the yard and parked it: "Are you hungry? I left some food for you, as well as beans and snails. Come and eat it quickly?"
With the arrival of summer, there are more snails in the ditches and creeks. You can find half a basin full of them in a short time.
Now Gu Ci likes to go to the river to catch a small basin of snails after work, swim around and take a bath.
The snails should be kept in clean water overnight so that they will not have any earthy smell when cooked.
Add some chili peppers to make it taste better, and even the soup goes well with rice.
No matter how small a snail is, it is still meat. Therefore, during this period of time, snails have always been on the villagers' tables.
In addition, the vegetable garden has also become lively. The tender beans, which can only be picked in the past two days, are especially delicious.
Chu Hong likes to eat rice crust, so she shoveled some of it out of the pot. It is also delicious with green beans.
Alas, she herself did not expect that her requirements had become so low that she thought green beans were delicious.
Gu Ci sat beside her and watched her eat: "Don't you want to eat snails? Have you had enough?"
"No, I'll eat my fill first and then the snails."
While Chu Hong was eating snails, she did not forget to tell him about how she dealt with the Su family.
Because she didn't want her elder sister to hear and remind her of her sad memories, she spoke in a low voice.
When Gu Ci saw her talking, his eyebrows were dancing with joy. His smug look and bright eyes were so vivid and attractive.
His hands even had their own consciousness, and he gently scratched her nose: "I'll go with you next time. I'm afraid the Su family will embarrass you secretly."
After saying this, I felt that I was being too intimate.
He quickly withdrew his hand and coughed lightly: "The weather is getting hot. I want a straw mat and sleep on the floor to keep cool."
Chu Hong also agreed in her heart that he really couldn't sleep with her anymore.
Sometimes she woke up from the heat just because he was holding her.
I wasn't sure whether I hugged him first or he hugged me out of habit, but I could see that he looked unspeakably embarrassed.
If this continued, she was worried that sparks would fly between the two of them.
If we can’t control it well one day, I’m afraid it will burst into flames.
Besides, she is also a mature woman. The young man next to her is handsome and considerate, and they like each other. Some thoughts are wafting through her mind.
It's the kind of image that even detergent powder can't wash off.
So when I heard his words, I nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll go find it later."
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Gu Ci looked at her with a bit of resentment: "Do you dislike me so much? Can't wait to kick me out?"
Even at the beginning, the two were pure.
But they have been lying together for several months and they are very familiar with each other. It's just that Gu Ci is still young and not thick-skinned enough, so there are some things he dares only think about but not do.
Even if Chu Hong regretted her previous agreement, she couldn't go back on her word, as it would make her appear too impatient.
Even if I had some thoughts in my mind, I didn't forget to be reserved.
Chu Hong glared at him and said, "I'm doing this for your own good."
Song Lao Er rushed in from outside: "Mom, sister-in-law, my wife is about to give birth."
Chu Hong was anxious: "Grandma hasn't come back yet?"
Song Lao Er, who had been running all the way here, was covered in sweat. He became even more anxious when he heard her words: "Then he must have gone somewhere to talk to someone."
He wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Go find someone in the village."
Secretary Song, who was taking a lunch break in the next room, quickly came over and said, "Then why don't you go and invite Auntie San and the others?"
Song Lao Er seemed to be frightened. After hearing what his eldest brother said, he turned around and ran out: "I'll go and ask Third Aunt to go now."
Nowadays, most births in the countryside are at home, and there is no habit of going to the hospital.
And every village has one or two midwives.
Of course, they can't be professional. They just accompany the mother in labor, help cut the umbilical cord and help the mother clean up after the baby is born.
Now Wu Xiu is a barefoot doctor. Young wives in nearby villages who are about to give birth will ask her to go along to help.
After all, Wu Xiu has received professional training and must know more. It feels like with her as a barefoot doctor, things will be much safer.
Wu Xiu not only went alone, but also called Chu Tong to go with her: "Chu Tong, go and boil some water. Chu Hong, you and Xiao Gu and Xiao Yu'er stay at home."
It is said that giving birth is like going through the gates of hell. There were also two families in the village who died during childbirth.
Even though Chu Hong was already married, Wu Xiu was still afraid that she would be frightened.
In this way, when Chu Hong becomes pregnant, he was afraid that she would be scared and have wild thoughts, so he let her stay.
Children should not go there at all, as they can be easily frightened by the crying and screaming.
Chu Hong responded, and seeing her mother and elder sister hurried out, she asked her father, "Are you going to look for my grandmother, or should we go together?"
"You guys go find someone," Secretary Song thought of his brother who had run in earlier and seemed to be panicking. He was worried that something might happen and he couldn't make up his mind. He was also worried: "I'll go over and take a look."
Gu Ci and Chu Hong followed her out and went to several houses where grandma often went to look for her. Finally, a young wife told them: "Don't look anymore. I saw that my aunt has gone home."
Then he asked curiously, "I saw your second uncle rushing to your third aunt's house. Is your second aunt about to give birth?"
Chu Hong muttered to herself: You know too much. Such a young sister-in-law likes to join in the fun.
Considering that Lingxia Village is indeed a small village, it is no wonder that it quickly became known to everyone.
In Chu Hong's eyes, her second aunt, who is already 39 years old this year, can be considered an older mother.
She was also a little worried, so she simply went to her second uncle's house to see what was going on.
