Chapter 48: Bastard! Don't wake up the child in the middle of the night

Late in the night, the couple started fighting in the house.

However, it was not the kind of falling out between Wang Ziru and Liu Xiangqin during the day, but rather a "wrestling" between men.

"I don't plan to give Baoer another brother or sister." Wang Ziru said in the dark, gritting her teeth.

But both hands firmly guard the "national gate" and do not let the enemy invade even an inch.

After a long time of arguing, the man finally lay back down, thinking wildly in his heart, "You..., don't you have any thoughts about me in that way?"

He has been home for many days, but since those few times they secretly did it five years ago, he has almost forgotten what it felt like.

Wang Ziru lay steadily in the middle, pulled the quilt, and turned her head to glance at the man.

"That's not what I meant. It's really inconvenient and there's no room for maneuver..." She suddenly turned around and hugged the man's arm. "Bao Er is awake, do you still have any shame?"

The man curled his lips, complaining in his heart but unable to say anything.

Baoer is a smart child. How would we explain it if he was woken up by their movements?

It seems that he must take the mother and son to the army, otherwise his happy life will be wasted.

Zhai Ximo said nothing, hugged his wife, and said in a hoarse voice, "Go to sleep. If you keep making noise, you might really wake the child."

But Wang Ziru was very clear-headed. She raised her face and asked, "Why did you marry me five years ago?"

"Is it because I forced you to do that that you decided to break off the engagement with Zhang Kang's sister?"

"How dare you bring up the past!"

The man whispered, not intending to look back.

Thinking back to the time when he and Wang Ziru were in love, Wang Ziru heard that he was planning to marry Zhang Kang's sister, so she ran to the Zhang family and canceled the marriage for him.

Because of this.

In the second year after Zhai Ximo joined the army, his old comrade Zhang Kang also joined their army, so he took special care of Zhang Kang.

However, the couple's feelings for each other, which had originally dropped to freezing point, quickly warmed up because they opened up to each other a little.

Zhai Ximo thought to himself that he must take advantage of the vacation time in his hometown to build a relationship with his wife. When the vacation is over, he will take her back to the army so that those gossipy women in the family compound will not criticize him behind his back.

He had also heard that the wives of the superiors living in the family compound were not ordinary women.

There was also a chief's wife who was dignified and elegant. Her family came from a large family with a strong background, so this wife was well-educated and had seen the world since childhood. What she said and did was very popular.

"When I return to the army, I will have to bring my wife and children to visit the commander and ask his wife to give Wang Ziru some advice."

Thinking about the future, the man gradually closed his eyes.

The next morning.

There was loud noise in the Zhai family yard very early in the morning.

The day before the beam-raising ceremony, there were many things to do. The seven or eight workers hired by the eldest brother Zhai Qingsong came to the Zhai family yard early in the morning and started working.

The kitchen was also filled with smoke and fire, so Liu Xiangqin made an exception and went to the town to buy some pork.

I also went to the house of a neighbor in the village who was on good terms with Liu Xiangqin and dug up radishes and cabbages.

So can make a few decent stir-fry dishes.

"Mom, I had a dream last night." In the morning, Wang Ziru took the child out of the warm quilt and dressed him. The child rubbed his eyes and said with a smile.

Wang Ziru asked with a smile: "What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed of eating chicken."

"Oh, you want to eat chicken?" Wang Ziru looked back at the man who had already gotten up. He was standing in front of the bed, tidying up his clothes. He was wearing a military uniform, with a straight back like a pine tree, looking particularly handsome. "Bao'er's father, after breakfast, go catch a hen and kill it to make soup."

Zhai Ximo turned around and said, "I may have to help my brother with work today."

"Isn't he going to start the work tomorrow?"

"Today we need to move all the things for the beams into the yard, and we need to put up the beams and cover the tiles tomorrow morning," Zhai Ximo thought for a moment, "It seems that we should start building the stove today. I heard from my eldest brother that he plans to build a water tank with cement and bricks in their new stove room."

After hearing the man's long speech, Wang Ziru knew that it was impossible to get the man to kill the chicken today.

Looking back, she saw her son's slightly disappointed expression and consoled him, "It's okay, Mommy will kill the chicken."

When the man heard the woman wanted to kill the chicken herself, he said, "Wait two days before eating the chicken."

He didn't want to see a woman being timid and not daring to cut the chicken even after catching it.

Wang Ziru didn't know what the man was thinking, so she smiled and said, "It's just a hen, I can kill it with one knife."

These words could not help but send a chill down the man's spine.

When the family opened the door and went out to wash, the eldest son, Zhai Qingsong, was already in the main hall entertaining the invited workers for dinner.

The second son and his wife have also been helping with the house construction these days.

So the two little girls from the second son's family also ate at the eldest son's house.

Zhai Qingsong walked to the back of the house and looked at his third brother. He wanted to ask him to have breakfast with him, and only after breakfast did he feel comfortable asking him to help with the brick-carrying work in the morning.

I happened to see Zhai Ximo squatting behind the thatched shed and rinsing his mouth with an enamel mouthwash cup.

Wang Ziru patted her son as he came out of the side room and saw the situation. "Brother, are you looking for Bao'er's father?"

"Uh..." Zhai Qingsong saw his brother's wife and didn't dare to ask the third brother for help in front of Wang Ziru, so he was about to turn around and leave.

Zhai Ximo turned around and looked at his elder brother. "Brother, you guys eat first. I'll cook a bowl of noodles later and then go help."

The eldest brother looked at his younger brother and sister-in-law carefully, nodded slightly, turned back to the main room and sat down to eat.

Wang Ziru knew that her husband had to help his eldest brother's family that day, so she cooked a big bowl of egg noodles for him first, and then cooked noodles for the mother and son.

When they saw Liu Xiangqin, the two sisters-in-law didn't say anything.

After breakfast, Zhai Ximo took off his military coat and went to the yard to help carry bricks.

Wang Ziru chopped a handful of grass and sprinkled it on the chicken coop to feed the chickens.

"Mom, can you kill chickens?" Baoer stood next to the chicken coop, staring at the three hens pecking at food. Suddenly, she realized that there were only three hens at home and she had to keep the hens to lay eggs.

"Yes, I really want to drink chicken soup today?" Wang Ziru smiled and stroked her son's head.

Bao Er raised her rosy little face and said, "Mom, let's keep it. We can have egg noodles every morning in the future."

Mrs. Liu came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of noodles. She saw the mother and son standing next to the chicken coop and was stunned for a moment, thinking that Wang Ziru was going to slaughter a chicken today.

If the third brother was not at home to slaughter a chicken and make soup, she would not dare to scoop a bowl of the chicken from the pot of Wang Ziru's stewed chicken.

Mrs. Liu was so angry that she went back to her room, closed the door and ate some noodles.

When I regret dividing the family, I should never give the five chickens to the third child.

Wang Ziru fed the chickens, packed a basket of clothes and went to the stream to wash them.

As the mother and her son reached the stream, several young wives from the village also came there with bamboo baskets to wash clothes.

The two aunts occupied the position with the most water on the large stone slab.

Seeing Wang Ziru taking Baoer to the stream to wash clothes, the two aunties took the initiative to say hello.

"Hey, isn't this Baoer? Are you following your mother to do the laundry again?"

"Where's your dad, Baoer? Why aren't you playing with him?"

Bao Er was playing with a small windmill in his hand. When he heard this, he replied, "Dad is helping uncle carry bricks."

"Ah? No way?" The auntie, who was over 40 years old, was stunned. "I heard that your aunt and your mother had a fight, and your father is still working for them?"

Wang Ziru placed the bamboo basket on a low-lying rock by the stream and squatted there side by side with two other young wives to wash clothes.

After saying hello to the two young wives, he turned around and looked at the two aunts upstream.

"Auntie! Stop mentioning Auntie Bao'er, or she might think I'm saying something bad about her behind her back."

The two ladies were laughing and chatting about other people's gossip.

Next to her, Zhao Junxia, ​​the young wife who had just married into Hongmei Village last year, was already pregnant and about to give birth, so she could only kneel on the stone slabs to wash clothes.

The young wife has a sturdy build and a slightly dark face, and you can tell at first glance that she is a good worker.

Zhao Junxia greeted Wang Ziru warmly. The young wife was excited to meet Wang Ziru while they were washing clothes by the stream.

"Sister Ziru, my mother-in-law told me that you can deliver babies?"
