Xiaoya also woke up and was still lying there playing with her little feet. Lian Xiaomin made a bottle of milk powder, held Xiaoya over, fed her and said, "Grow up quickly, little baby. When you grow up a little, you can eat fruit with your brother. Now you are a toothless little kid, just drink milk!"
The little girl was drinking gurglingly and her little feet were moving. The baby was growing even faster. After drinking milk powder for a month, she is now chubby, different from when she was fleeing a month ago.
Lian Xiaomin pinched her calf. In modern times, the baby calf of a colleague's child was almost as thick as a thermos bottle, and the arms were segmented like lotus roots, but the little girl still doesn't have that much flesh now.
Babies these days are all very small when they are born. Pregnant women are malnourished, so their babies are all small.
Thinking that her aunt would give birth in a few months, she had to find a way to feed her aunt some nutritious food. She looked so thin that she didn't realize she was pregnant when they first met. She hoped that she could give birth safely.
Most families of this era have the idea of favoring boys over girls. I heard there are many rumors that some terrible families abandoned their babies just because they were girls.
The Li family seemed to be pretty good, even though they only had one son, Li Xianghai, and even Qiuping's first child was a girl, but Zhang Dacui never said anything bad about it.
Especially from the fact that she loves her little girl Yufang so much, we can tell that she does not have the extremely patriarchal idea, and she also loves her granddaughter Xiaofeng'er very much.
Perhaps because of his good family tradition, Li Xianghai also loves his daughter the same way.
Just look at the captain's family. They are particularly good to their only daughter Chunxiu. But I don't know what the families of Zhang Dacui and Zhang Shengli's brothers and sisters are like. It's hard to say because the general environment is here.
Lian Xiaomin thought again that even if Zhang Dacui liked Xiao Feng'er so much, it went without saying that she would still hope to have a grandson.
In rural areas, only boys can set up their own household in the future. The difference between men and women can be seen in the allocation of housing land. Married girls have no land and are not eligible to build a house.
Lian Xiaomin looked at Xiaofu, whose face was covered in red juice, and muttered to him, "Xiaofu, brother, can you set up a household in the future? Take care of your little sister so that I can go out and have a good time?"
Xiaofu had no idea what his sister was talking about. How could a baby understand that? He glanced at his sister and continued to eat with his head down in an innocent manner.
At night, fearing that it was cold outside, Lian Xiaomin brought the two kids into the room, gave them a bath, and coaxed them to sleep. She washed and dried the little girls' diapers in the washing machine, but they still used disposable diapers at night, which saved trouble.
She stayed in the space for a while longer. There was no night in the space. It was always like daytime and the temperature was very comfortable.
The fruits in the woods are ripe again. The growth rate here is also very fast, but not like the crops in the black soil, which ripen every five days. After all, fruit trees don't grow that fast, so ripening once a month is considered fast.
Lian Xiaomin harvested all the fruits from the trees and packed them in sacks and stored them in the warehouse. She likes the apples here, which are crunchy and sweet.
She ate an apple and came to the black soil. Thirty acres was not a small amount. It was a piece of farmland, golden and ripe, looking extremely comfortable.
Lian Xiaomin harvested the crops in the field and planted sorghum again.
I heard that in the old days, the big landlords could own thousands of acres of land, and they would hire long-term workers to work for them. A thousand acres of fertile land, that would cost a lot. When I think about it, my thirty acres are nothing.
The house I bought was formerly the home of the landlord Ma. I heard that he was not a big landlord and did not own that much land.
But all his family members were also criticized and died. However, there are two children left, a brother and sister named Ma Hui and Ma Li. They should not be very old. They are not allowed to live in this brick house. No one knows where they live. Even Xiaomin has never seen them.
After arriving in Sandaogou, she hasn't met many villagers, mainly because she hasn't started working yet and now she has to prepare for the winter.
When we start work in the spring next year, the villagers will be able to see it, see how vast this place is, and feel the charm of the black soil of the Northeast.
If she didn't have to take care of the kids, both of whom are too young and need help, she could also go to work. With the memory of this body, she can do all kinds of farm work.
In rural areas, children as young as five or six years old can go up the mountain to cut grass for pigs, collect firewood, and take care of younger siblings.
The same is true for 13-year-old Lian Xiaomin. Now she has many skills, such as doing farm work, taking care of children, and cooking. Seamless transition.
She sat at the edge of the field, quietly chewing an apple, thinking about this and that. For some reason, there was a breeze blowing in the space, which was so comfortable. Her nerves relaxed and she felt completely healed.
In addition to the fact that crops grow faster than the outside world, the flow of time in this space is the same as that in the outside world, so she cannot stay here for long. She can only stay here alone for a while when she has nothing to do at night.
I thought about how I saw Chunxiu going to pick up the educated youth today. I don’t know why the educated youth were assigned to the village now because the double harvest season was over. Isn’t this causing trouble for the team leader?
These young students from the city are so young, and they have to endure so much hardship when they come to the countryside. This policy is to help the cities solve the employment problem, and the vast rural areas have paid a lot for this.
But there is no food in the village now. What will the educated youth eat when they come here? I guess some village cadres are worried today.
Looking at the watch, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. After washing up, Lian Xiaomin left the space and fell asleep next to her sister-in-law.
A good night's sleep.
The days passed slowly, and by the end of November, it was already very cold in Northeast China, and all the leaves on the mountains had fallen.
Xiaofu has learned to walk and has spoken a lot. He keeps jumping out. The little kid who has just learned to speak is happy to talk and can chat with anyone.
That day, Yufang and Lian Xiaomin took the children to Chunxiu's house again to play with Doudou and Mili.
Lian Xiaomin put Xiaoya on the kang and chatted with Yufang and Chunxiu. She brought a bag of melon seeds, and the three of them ate them together. Yufang asked, "Chunxiu, where did your mother go?"
Chunxiu said, "Yesterday a matchmaker proposed a marriage to my third brother, but he disagreed and refused to even look at the bride. My mother secretly went to discuss it with that person again."
Yufang asked curiously, "Why doesn't he look at it? Doesn't he like it?"
"No, he didn't even ask whose daughter she was. He said he was young and there was nothing to look for! My third brother is like that. I don't know why. No one can control him. Even my father is afraid of him, let alone my mother." Chunxiu said with a pout.
"If you ask me, your third brother has high standards. I wonder if he would like female educated youth. My mother said that many of the guys in our village like female educated youth. When they go to work, they would like to quit their own work in the fields and help others." Yufang said.
Chunxiu smiled and said, "Who knows what your third nephew is thinking!"
Yufang and Lian Xiaomin both laughed out loud. There was nothing wrong with this third nephew.
