Chapter 328 Jiang Sanhesheng
In the main room, Zhang Jinlan set up a charcoal stove and was warming herself by fire.
When they got cold from playing, a few children went in to warm their hands, and when they were warm, they came out to continue playing.
The children of the farmers live a rough life. If they were in the town, they might not even be able to leave the house.
The four little sisters all wore the same neck guard.
White rabbit fur.
Against the backdrop of the snow-white ground, it appears a little yellow.
People have also become a lot darker.
"Children, come in and drink some hot ginger soup, otherwise you will have to take bitter medicine if you catch a cold." Zhu Yingqiu entered the main room carrying a pot of stew, while Zhang Yanzi brought a tray and bowls.
I heard that if you don’t drink ginger soup you will have to drink bitter medicine.
The children hurriedly crowded into the main room, fearing that they would drink too slowly.
Jiang Fubao was fortunate enough to try the medicine here once.
There is no adulteration in the drug, the efficacy is absolutely perfect, and naturally it tastes so bitter that you want to die.
It is more bitter than eating lotus seeds and bitter melon alone.
Not only is it bitter, but the aftertaste is also a bit sour.
It tastes worse than shit.
Children seem to have an especially keen sense of taste.
Therefore, compared with his previous life, Jiang Fubao feels that he cannot endure any hardship now.
I just want to eat sweet.
"The eldest granddaughter of Old Chen's family is engaged and will be married at the beginning of next month. Old lady, have you decided what kind of makeup to add to her?"
Jiang Shoujia took a bite of the persimmon cake sent from next door, drank a sip of hot ginger soup, and asked.
"Don't give her money. We don't know who her husband's family is. If she doesn't get to spend it, it's useless. I suggest you buy her a silver bracelet. A thicker and prettier one will cost about one or two taels of silver. If she has a hard time in the future, she can use it as money."
Zhang Jinlan thought for a long time before she spoke.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. When we get to the town, remember to buy the silver bracelet."
Jiang Shoujia nodded slightly.
I continued to eat the persimmon cake. It was too sweet. One bite would make me sick to death.
He only dared to eat in small bites.
"We should just use our cows to plow the fields. It would be better to buy a carriage so that we don't have to go out early and come back late every day. With a carriage, it will be more convenient to go to the surrounding towns. In the past few months, Madam Yun has been sending people to give us gifts from time to time. We can't just accept them for nothing.
The shop is so busy that we can't leave. When the time comes, we'll ask Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng to run a trip for us. Bullock carts can't go back and forth in a day, but horse carriages can. It's just right that they are back, so they can pick us up from the shop. And Fu Bao, she goes to the school to see Principal Dong every two days. We can't let him teach us for nothing, we have to give him a gift."
With nothing to do, Zhang Jinlan started chatting with Jiang Shoujia.
Jiang Fubao finished his ginger soup and went to play snowballs with his brothers and sisters.
"Okay, let's do as you say. It just so happens that all the grandchildren have gone to school, and when they come back from rest, the ox cart can't accommodate them. If we want to buy a carriage, we should buy the largest horse carriage so that we don't have to change it later."
Jiang Shoujia added.
As we chatted, three days passed.
The shop remains open for business.
Because it was cold, there were fewer people lining up.
Zhang Jinlan plans to use this time to build the third floor.
Otherwise, there are not enough tables and chairs in the shop.
She had more than one thousand taels on hand.
I bought a carriage for four hundred taels.
Although it is a bit expensive, it is a two-horse carriage, and the horses are particularly strong, and the carriage can carry twenty people at the same time.
When delivering gifts to Chang'an, one could either ride a horse or harness a cart pulled by an ox.
It is really convenient.
This is real value for money.
After the snow melted, it was already deep winter.
In early December, the eldest granddaughter of Old Chen, Chen Hongju, got married.
She married into Wangjia Village, where conditions were slightly better.
Because of growing potatoes, Old Chen's family earned five taels of silver.
Return two taels to the Jiang family.
There were only three taels of silver left.
Old Chen gave her one or two taels of silver as a dowry. Not only that, he also let his granddaughter take away the other two taels of silver as a betrothal gift.
Just for this reason, she wanted to marry into Zhangjia Village, and there were many people who wanted to marry her.
The day before the wedding, Zhang Jinlan went to put on some makeup.
A brand new silver bracelet was worn on Chen Hongju's wrist.
When they got married the next day, all the relatives of Wang's family saw the silver bracelet on her hand. When they heard that her family not only did not withhold the betrothal gift, but also gave a dowry of one or two taels of silver, they all showed Chen Hongju a lot of respect.
Even the rules-setting process that should have been in place in the past has been cancelled.
On the day of returning to the parents' home, the couple carried large and small bags.
Chen Hongju always had a smile on her face, and one could tell at a glance that she was living well in her husband's family.
At the same time, Jiang Sanhe from Sunjiacun gave birth prematurely.
Because she spent her entire pregnancy in bed.
As a result, my stomach was too big and I became so fat that I was gasping for breath when I spoke.
My body cannot bear this fetus.
My water broke that morning and I went into labor.
Fortunately, it's just nine months old, otherwise it would be very difficult to survive.
Zhou Xiufen was so anxious.
After inviting the midwife, the whole family waited anxiously outside.
Zhou Xiufen even knelt on the ground and begged God to give her a grandson.
“Ahhh—”
A heart-wrenching scream came from the house.
Sun Fu's heart trembled as he called out, "Mom, is San He okay?"
"She has already given birth to three children, this is her fourth, how could she be in trouble? I'm not saying this to sound harsh, but the lump on her body has been loose for a long time, otherwise I wouldn't dare let her eat five meals a day. If it wasn't for the health of my grandson in the womb, I wouldn't have let her waste so much food.
After the baby is born, let her work quickly. I need to have a good rest. Look at her, she is as fat as a pig. If she can give birth to a son this time, I will let her go. If not, I will not forgive her. "
The thought of feeding Jiang Sanhe so much food.
Zhou Xiufen was so distressed that her teeth were chattering.
"Ahhh——" Jiang Sanhe screamed in pain.
"Don't scream. The child is too big. Please save your energy. Zhou, bring in another basin of hot water. Oh, and prepare a pair of scissors."
Inside the house, the old woman shouted.
Jiang Sanhe's amniotic fluid is almost running out.
I can't have children either.
Logically speaking, a woman who has given birth to three children should be able to give birth to her fourth child all at once.
But Jiang Sanhe's life was so difficult.
The old lady reached out and touched her belly.
Through the layer of fat belly, she felt the circumference of the fetus's head.
The whole person was terrified.
Oh my god.
How old is this child?
She had never delivered a baby this big in her life.
No wonder the woman in labor screams in pain.
"If the baby still can't be born, I'll have to use scissors." Grandma Wen said to Zhou Xiufen who came in with hot water.
"Will it hurt my grandson?" Zhou Xiufen was a little worried.
"It won't hurt the child, but it will hurt your daughter-in-law..." The old lady thought her voice was too loud.
Worried about scaring Jiang Sanhe, he leaned close to Zhou Xiufen's ear and whispered, "If the incision doesn't heal well, it will definitely affect your sexual intercourse in the future. In addition, there is the possibility of hemorrhage. You have to think carefully about whether to save the adult or the child if something happens."
