Chapter 2 Give me a string of copper coins



"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Liu Lanqing from the third family immediately forced herself to sit up slowly, with a headscarf wrapped around her head, and her forehead hair was wet with sweat.

At this time, my mother-in-law Ning Luoshi and Luo Xiangqin hurried back from the fields.

"The third brother's wife, you gave birth to the baby?" Luo Xiangqin's voice came first, but the person didn't arrive yet.

"Mom, it's a girl!"

"Is it really a daughter? That monk didn't lie to us! A lucky star really has descended upon the Ning family!" Luo Xiangqin stepped forward and stared at the little girl carefully.

"Well, Kejun! What a good granddaughter!"

Luo Xiangqin came forward with a peach branch in her hand: "Hurry up and put this peach branch under your pillow. I picked it specially and wrapped it with a piece of red cloth at Mrs. Qian's house. It's a good thing to ward off evil and bring good luck."

Sure enough, there was a red silk strip tied in the middle of the peach branch that Luo Xiangqin was holding.

Liu Lanqing from the third family immediately took it with both hands and placed it under the pillow.

At this time, Ning Xiaotang's diaper was changed into a clean one. She felt comfortable and sweet with a slight smile on her face.

"Mom, this is our first daughter. Can you give her a name?" Chen Ya from the old family said softly.

"What name can I give my mother? At most it'll be something like 'Ni' or 'Ya'. I'd better take some gifts and ask Mr. Chen to choose one for me."

Liu Lanqing from the third family said anxiously, "Mom, this is my daughter, whom I worked so hard to give birth to. Can I name her myself?"

Luo Xiangqin smiled with concern: "Old Third, you are a girl we picked up on the road. You always speak in a lingering way. Why don't you try to pick a name and let me see if it suits you. If not, we can talk later."

Luo Xiangqin was particularly fond of the third son's wife.

"How about calling her Ning Xiaotang?" Liu Lanqing said weakly.

"Ning Xiaotang, the word 'tang' in her name really symbolizes a life as sweet as sugar. Great! Let's call her Ning Xiaotang."

Luo Xiangqin immediately made the decision happily.

At this time, the elder came forward and asked: "What is this nickname?"

"My nickname is Tangtang!" Luo Xiangqin immediately raised her voice.

"Okay, let's call her Tangtang." Liu Lanqing also agreed.

At this time, Luo Xiangqin said: "Hurry up and drink this bowl of noodle soup. Where did this egg come from?"

Luo Xiangqin was stunned when she saw a poached egg in the bowl.

"Mom, a pheasant just built a nest at our house, and we cooked the eggs for my third brother and his wife."

"Okay, did the pheasant get away?"

"No, he was caught alive by the third brother and is now locked up in the woodshed."

"Okay, I'll go tie it up." Luo Xiangqin immediately tore off a piece of cloth and rushed out to tie up the pheasant.

I had just tied up the pheasant and was putting it in the chicken coop when I heard the excited voices of a group of boys making noise outside.

"Grandma! Grandma! We caught a big carp! And lots of river shrimp!"

At this time, in the house of the third brother, Ning Xiaotang smiled inwardly, and actually chose a name that was the same as her previous life.

Also, my brothers, there is not a single fish in your river. If it weren’t for my space that can move as I wish and release the good fish and shrimp from the space, where would you be able to catch them?

However, the voices of the brothers are really nice. It seems that I will have a strong group of brothers in the future.

At this time, Luo Xiangqin stepped forward and said, "Let me see."

When he saw it, he was shocked: "Oh my God, this fish is so big, it must weigh five or six kilograms!"

Luo Xiangqin excitedly looked at the fish in the bucket, then looked at the shrimp in the other bucket, and said excitedly: "Now your Third Aunt will have fish to produce milk."

Several boys immediately licked their lips greedily: "Grandma! Auntie San has drunk the soup, can we have some of the fish meat?"

"You little bastards!"

"Wow~Woo!" Chen Ya carried Ning Xiaotang out and took a look.

When Ning Xiaotang saw that they were all half-grown boys, she was really surprised: "It turns out that the Ning family is so prosperous that there are so many boys.

At a glance, there are five brothers!

Ning Xiaotang immediately blew bubbles of joy: "Woo~wow!"

"My little sister is so cute!" Luo Xiangqin felt happy when she saw that all her grandchildren liked this little sister.

Several boys rushed forward to see the little sister.

"You can all have a piece of fish at noon!" Luo Xiangqin finally spoke.

At this time, not only the children were happy, but the adults were also very happy.

Being able to eat a piece of meat at this time is even more exciting than the Chinese New Year.

In Ningxiahe Village, even during the Chinese New Year, a bowl of brown rice soup with a sweet potato is considered good. Some better families will add a little white rice, which is considered the best.

Luo Xiangqin heard the monk say a month ago that a golden phoenix would be born in the family, and the Lao Ning family should take good care of the girl and raise her up, and she would definitely be a very blessed person.

Luo Xiangqin took five kilograms of brown rice to the town and exchanged it for one kilogram of white flour.

It was also because the midwife, Mrs. Yuan, said that after giving birth, a woman must drink a bowl of thick white flour soup to help produce milk.

Luo Xiangqin kept this in mind.

Luo Xiangqin approached and urged: "You brothers have seen your sisters, go to the back mountain and see if there are any wild vegetables to bring back."

Luo Xiangqin then took Ning Xiaotang from the old lady's arms and said, "Oh, my little Tangtang, you are my sweetheart."

Luo Xiangqin put her face close to Ning Xiaotang's mouth, and Ning Xiaotang immediately tilted her head back and touched it lightly.

After feeling the baby's touch, Luo Xiangqin immediately said excitedly: "This~ My sweetheart actually kissed me! Haha! This is so wonderful."

Ning Xiaotang immediately instructed the space in her mind: "Little white fox, give me a string of copper coins!"

Then Luo Xiangqin put Ning Xiaotang down and happily went out to get oil. There was no oil left in her house now. She just went to the kitchen and saw that the last bit of oil had been put in the third child's bowl of soup.

Luo Xiangqin thought to herself that if all else failed, she could just exchange her dowry for a pair of silver earrings.

But Luo Xiangqin, who was walking, suddenly felt her ears itchy, so she immediately stopped and scratched her ears hard with her hands.

I happened to see a string of shiny copper coins in the grass.

"Copper coins?" Luo Xiangqin excitedly ran over to pick it up and saw that it was a string of ten copper coins worth one cent each.

"Oh my God, my little granddaughter is really a lucky star. She picked up money as soon as I held her in my arms?" Luo Xiangqin immediately put the copper coins in her arms.

Now she didn't have to exchange her silver earrings.

Then Luo Xiangqin bought a pot of oil from the oil mill at the entrance of the village, spending only six copper coins. Then she walked home carefully.

Afraid of spilling even a little bit of oil.

When Old Lady Ning and Luo Xiangqin brought a bowl of milky white fish soup into the third brother's room, Ning Xiaotang had lost her temper.

She sucked on her mother's dry nipple a few times, but there was no movement.

"Mom, the milk still hasn't come in."
