Wang Fang took the vegetables back to the yard, then sat under the shade of a tree and washed them with water from the well.
Fortunately, there was a well in the yard, otherwise she wouldn't be able to go out and fetch water.
Wang Xiaofang seems to be in good health now, having just not exercised much in the past few months. Her fitness is still there. She must be helping with farm work regularly.
But there was no mirror at home, and she had only seen Wang Xiaofang's appearance from the reflection in the water. She was quite pretty.
According to the description in the book, Wang Xiaofang is considered pretty in the village.
Otherwise, her mother would not have said that if she wanted to marry her, she had to take 100 yuan as a betrothal gift.
It’s a pity that in rural areas, there are not many families who can afford 100 yuan as a betrothal gift.
She washed the vegetables and put them in a special dustpan in the kitchen to drain water.
When her mother-in-law and Uncle Fugui came, she asked her mother-in-law to cook first.
Thinking of this, she went to the kitchen, shredded the radish, cut the loofah into pieces, and cut the green pepper and eggplant as well.
She also cut the pumpkin into small pieces.
I washed the rice and steamed pumpkin rice in the evening.
After the rice is cooked, mash the pumpkin and it will become pumpkin rice.
Summer pumpkins are also very sweet and should taste good.
In the evening, I stir-fry shredded white radish, eggplant with green peppers, and some green vegetables, then make some loofah soup and serve it with pumpkin rice.
This meal is sweet, spicy and salty. It goes well with rice.
There are many people in my family, and although there are only a few dishes, the portion of each dish is quite large, filling up a large plate.
Otherwise, when she and her mother-in-law come to the table, there might only be a few vegetable leaves.
She can't let herself be wronged.
After a while, my mother-in-law came back.
She looked behind her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, didn't you go to ask Uncle Fugui for help?"
Guihua felt a little guilty. She did go to invite him, and she also asked Wu Fugui to prepare some things.
Wu Fugui said he would come later.
Anyway, he knows where everyone lives in this village.
Guihua went home first.
"I went to invite him. He has something on hand and will come later."
After saying this, Guihua went into the house.
After all, this was a somewhat sinister thing to do, and she felt uneasy.
If it really is a girl, Xiaofang, don't blame her for being cruel.
After all, if you marry into our family, you will have to compensate our Liu family with a grandson.
If the baby is not a grandson, just abort it and continue getting pregnant.
Wang Fang saw her mother-in-law enter the house and had no way of asking any more questions.
The sun, like a naughty girl, began to slowly set in the west and hid behind the clouds.
The horizon was like a gorgeous ink painting, and the colorful sunset illuminated the big tree in the yard, giving it a golden edge.
She looked up at the big tree. The flowers on the tree had fallen long ago, and many small fruits had grown.
It turns out this is a fruit tree.
The fruit looks like a pear.
Can I pick the pears and exchange them for money then?
Ever since she knew she only had one dollar in her pocket, she has been thinking about making money all the time.
Otherwise, how will the three cubs in my belly survive?
Wang Fang sat in the yard for a long time.
She finally remembered what was missing in the yard!
It's poultry!
How come the Liu family is so poor that they don’t even have chickens or ducks?
If I raise a hen, I won’t have no eggs at home!
Thinking about being pregnant and having a baby in the future, without any meat, eggs or milk...
I feel very sad too.
As the sky gradually darkened, a breeze blew by, bringing some coolness and soothing the summer heat.
She stroked her belly and whispered, "Children, since we are destined to be together, we shouldn't have to live such a hard life..."
Uncle Fugui hadn't arrived yet, so she turned and went into the house to cook.
The sky gradually darkened, and there was only a dim kerosene lamp in the room. The flame in the stove was brighter than the light on the table.
As she watched, her eyes turned red.
My life is so miserable...
She had nothing to eat or drink, and she had three babies in her belly.
While cooking, I feel sorry for myself.
Poor and pitiful.
She would have received higher education in the future, and grew up with the love of her parents, and was full of knowledge. However, by the 1980s, she was penniless.
It would be easy if she was alone, she could work on making money.
But this belly will only get bigger day by day...
By the time she was done lamenting the passing of time, dinner was ready, but Uncle Fugui still hadn't arrived.
Guihua went outside the yard to look, muttering to herself, "Why hasn't Old Wu come yet?"
Although it was not completely dark yet, the inky night had already taken over, slowly sweeping across the earth until it engulfed the entire village.
Cicadas are chirping happily in the trees, and there are also chirping sounds of birds.
It was as if they had already started saying goodnight to each other.
There were noisy voices and footsteps coming from outside the courtyard wall.
It should be the people who went to work and came back from work.
Sure enough, after a while, Liu Gang and his three younger brothers appeared at the gate of the yard.
They put down their shovels and hoes on the ground and went to the dining table to prepare to eat.
It is very hot in the summer, so we always eat dinner in the yard.
The dishes had already been laid out, and a large bamboo colander was placed on top to keep away mosquitoes and flies.
Guihua heard the noise outside and saw her four sons coming back. She continued to mutter, "Why hasn't Old Wu come yet?"
The youngest, Liu Xiangdong, was closest to the children and asked, "Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
Guihua hurriedly explained: "No, no, I just asked Old Wu to take a look at your sister-in-law."
