Manyu Jin was crying, and her husband's mood was up and down.
In rural areas, everyone likes to have sons. Sons represent the labor force of the family. If you have many sons, you can speak with confidence and no one dares to bully you.
My eldest brother-in-law also likes sons, but after having two sons, he also wants a daughter. After all, the pressure of finding a wife for his son is too great!
At this time, Xuanyi was wiping her tears, while her eldest brother-in-law was sitting on the doorstep, smoking the kind of dry tobacco he made himself.
When going to the market, buy two taels of cheap tobacco, wrap some of the tobacco in paper, and roll it up to make homemade dry tobacco.
Because they often saw adults doing this, his two sons would often play the cigarette-rolling game with others. They would take dried grass or cabbage leaves, chop them up with a knife, and then use a written notebook to roll them up. At first glance, they really looked like cigarettes.
Sometimes I just play with it, sometimes I light it with a match and smoke it properly like an adult. As for the taste, well, it’s hard to describe in words.
Xuan Duojin wiped her tears. She heard her youngest son crying again, so she called her husband to see if the child was hungry or had pooped or peed.
With this pregnancy, Duoduo Jin suffered a lot!
Because she was afraid of being discovered that she was pregnant with her third child, she had been hiding. When she was about to give birth, she hid in the mountains with an aunt.
There was a cave in the mountain. The man in the family had cleaned the cave in advance and sent in daily necessities such as bedding, firewood and small pots.
But even so, people hiding in the mountains to give birth to children suffered torture both physically and mentally.
Later, when she was in labor, she didn't know what went wrong, but Xuanxuanjin felt a lot of pain in her waist, back and pubic area. After giving birth, the pain was still severe. Now it's been almost a month, and she still can't move. It hurts so much when she moves, so her mother-in-law said that she had to stay in bed for two months this time.
Because of her health problems, after giving birth to the child, her family had to take care of her and the child. After the village committee learned that they had secretly given birth to a third child, they would come to their house from time to time to complain and ask them to pay a fine.
There were too many things going on at home, so I didn't notify Xuanjin's sisters in time.
They were surprised by Gao Mingcheng and Xuanxuan Mei's sudden visit.
When she saw that her elder sister was still unable to get out of bed almost a month after giving birth and her lower body was still covered in blood, Manyu couldn't help but shed tears.
"Sister, why didn't you inform me? If I had known, I would have come to see you earlier." Xuanyimei said sadly.
She didn't have anything else, but she could still buy some nourishing food and medicine for her elder sister.
She also asked whether the fine for the third child had been paid and whether the family had enough money.
Xuan Duojin was still happy that her sister came to see her. She couldn't get up and could only lie on the bed. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, my family called a barefoot doctor to treat me. He said that I don't need to be treated. I will get better naturally if I rest for a while. I can get up now, but my family is worried about me and won't let me get up."
"As for the fine, this has been prepared long ago."
In order not to worry his sister, Xuanyi Jin smiled and spoke in a casual manner.
But Xuanyuemei knew her elder sister's difficulties. Her elder sister said that her husband's family took good care of her, but how could they actually be by her side all the time?
Xuanyi Jin gave birth to her child on May 22nd. Before and after she gave birth, it was the busiest time in the countryside. If she had no health problems, she could still take care of the child and do housework. But she had problems, and not only could she not go to the fields, she couldn't do housework or take care of the child. At this time, other people in the family couldn't take care of her, and it was already good enough to be able to give her meals on time every day.
Fortunately, her two sons are older now, especially the eldest son, who is eight years old this year and can help take care of his two younger brothers and do some housework within his ability.
The two sisters were talking in the room, while Gao Mingcheng and his brother-in-law were talking outside, also talking about Xuan Xuanjin's pregnancy and childbirth.
After hearing these details, Gao Mingcheng felt a little emotional. In his previous life, he was out there making a living and didn't take care of his family much, let alone Xuanyuemei's sisters. He only knew that Xuanyuejin had three sons, but he didn't know what kind of suffering they had endured.
However, he knew that Xuanjin's back pain would not leave too many sequelae. Once his body recovered, he would no longer feel pain. Maybe he would still feel pain, but it would not be as obvious.
No special gifts were prepared for this visit. Gao Mingcheng just took a hundred eggs from the truck bed and two bottles of honey, which were canned in cans and each weighed about two kilograms.
He gave these things to his eldest brother-in-law, who refused to take them. In the end, he couldn't refuse anymore and had to accept them.
My brother-in-law was grateful and thanked me profusely.
Gao Mingcheng was sending gifts, but Xuanyuemei was sending money.
Xuanyuemei knew that her eldest sister's family was not easy. Now that she had given birth to a third child, they had to pay a fine, so she gave her eldest sister a red envelope of 300 yuan.
When the eldest sister saw that she was giving so much, she refused to accept it. Finally, Xuanyuemei said that she would wait until she had another child and then ask the eldest sister to give it back.
This is how interpersonal relationships work. Giving a lot of money in the 300 red envelope first will ease the situation at her family. As for when Mei gives birth to another child in the future, we will decide how much to give based on our family's situation.
Xuanyuemei and his friends came at three in the afternoon, talked with the eldest sister for more than an hour, and changed the diaper for the little nephew. They said goodbye and left at almost five o'clock.
The eldest brother-in-law originally wanted to talk to Gao Mingcheng, but his father called him to work in the fields, so Gao Mingcheng persuaded his eldest brother-in-law to go and get busy.
After his brother-in-law left, Gao Mingcheng was not idle either. Seeing that their firewood was piled up in a mess in the back yard, he helped chop the firewood and stack it neatly.
While he was working, his two older nephews kept surrounding him, chattering, because this uncle was generous, and even though they only saw each other a few times a year, the two children were still very close to Gao Mingcheng and Xuanmei.
Gao Mingcheng took a look at the clothes they were wearing, which were tattered and dirty, and couldn't help but say that he would give them two sets of clothes next time he came.
The eldest nephew immediately said, "Thank you, uncle! Uncle, please give me some bigger clothes. My mom said that bigger clothes can be worn for two more years!"
The little nephew nodded in agreement. His dirty face and a pair of dark eyes were full of desire and expectation.
Gao Mingcheng smiled and touched their heads. In order to prevent lice, the two children often shaved their heads, but now they had grown a bunch of short hair, which felt itchy when he touched it in his palms.
Seeing his two brothers asking for clothes, little Xuxu also said, "I want some too!"
Gao Mingcheng flicked his forehead lightly with his finger, smiled and said nothing.
In his previous life, his little Xuxu had grown up like a weed in the village like his two cousins. But in this life, because of his changes, little Xuxu's childhood was different from that of ordinary children.
By the way, the clothes that are too small for little Xuxu can also be given to big sister, so they can be worn by his newborn cousin.
"Mingcheng, it's getting late, let's go back first." Xuanyuemei walked out of the room. After such an hour, the sisters had said almost everything they wanted to say.
"Okay." Gao Mingcheng dropped the axe in his hand, went aside to wash his hands, then carried Xiao Xuxu into the car and said goodbye to his two nephews.
The two nephews looked at him eagerly, and their eyes were full of envy when they looked at Xiao Xuxu.
On the way back, Xuanyuemei told Gao Mingcheng about her elder sister's situation and said that she planned to buy some supplements for her elder sister next time.
Gao Mingcheng had no objection to this.
We were driving along just fine, but when we passed Junling, we saw a group of people gathered under a camphor tree by the roadside, enjoying the cool and chatting.
Some of them were holding hoes, while others were carrying buckets of water. It was obvious that they had finished their work and gathered here to chat and relax.
Seeing Gao Mingcheng's car, someone familiar immediately stopped Gao Mingcheng and told him the gossip from yesterday morning.
Gao Mingcheng got out of the car, distributed cigarettes to everyone, and then listened to some gossip, which was the follow-up of the dog bite incident yesterday.
It was almost the same as Gao Mingcheng had guessed. The dog owner ended up paying a hundred yuan as compensation. The hooligans originally wanted five hundred yuan for the dog, but the dog owner got so angry that he beat his dog to death with a stick in public and threw the dog at the two brothers, saying that the dog had bitten someone, so he would kill the dog as compensation.
This really frightened the two brothers. They were afraid of being beaten, but they were reluctant to spend the money. So after a struggle, the two brothers were compensated 100 yuan.
"Tsk tsk, I think they will never dare to keep a dog in their lifetime! Other people who keep dogs have to tie up their dogs when they go to the market. If the dogs bite someone accidentally, the money in their family won't be enough to pay for the compensation!" The gossiper ended with this sentence.
Gao Mingcheng gave him another cigarette and then said goodbye and left.
After the car drove out of Junling, Gao Mingcheng said to Xuanyuemei, "They beat the dog to death, and they still paid a hundred yuan in compensation!"
There was a hint of disappointment in the tone of Gao Mingcheng's voice when he said this.
Xuanyuemei was often bullied by villagers in the past, so she understands this. She said, "They are just afraid of causing trouble. What if the old man who was bitten insists on living in their house? He won't be able to beat him or scold him."
Yes, if that ruffian causes trouble, we can fight back, but if an old man insists on staying at home, it is really hard to deal with him.
This is what they call taking advantage of one's seniority.
Inside the car, the couple chatted about gossip all the way back to the clothing store.
When they arrived at the clothing store, Gao Mingcheng asked Xuanmei to clean up the inventory when she was free and give away the clothes that were not selling well.
I also asked Xuanyuemei to find out the clothes that were too small for little Xuxu. Children grow fast and they can only outgrow a piece of clothing after two or three months at most, so most of the clothes were relatively new.
Even if they can no longer be worn, many of the beauties are washed clean and kept in the closet.
She was thinking that she could use it again when she had another child in the future.
Now Gao Mingcheng said he wanted to give those clothes to her elder sister. She hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
After having dinner at the clothing store, Gao Mingcheng took his wife and children back to his new home. Half of the clothes in the store were already sold out, and purchasing new stocks was imminent. Gao Mingcheng would be leaving for Guangzhou tomorrow.
Gao Mingcheng said, "I'm going to Guangzhou tomorrow. It will take at least four days to go there and back. When I come back, I'll find a time to send you to see your elder sister. In addition to the clothes at home, buy two pairs of plastic sandals for the two children. I see their shoes are cracked."
After hearing this, many beauties felt warm in their hearts.
Xuanxuanmei's mother died early, and she was raised by her three older sisters. Now that she lives a good life and is able to help her sisters, she is happy about it.
But what made her happiest was that Gao Mingcheng took the initiative to say these words.
The next morning, after breakfast, Gao Mingcheng took a truckload of honey to Xiao Jinfeng's transportation company.
When Xiao Jinfeng saw him, he warmly invited him to come over and eat meat buns, saying that they were freshly steamed by his mother and tasted very good.
Although Gao Mingcheng had already eaten a bowl of rice noodles and a fried dough stick, he could still eat a meat bun.
Gao Mingcheng ate a meat bun and took a few more to eat on the way. Although the cold buns didn’t taste very good, it was okay to eat cold buns as the weather was hot.
While eating buns, Xiao Jinfeng talked about the compensation for the last coal transportation.
He lost 10,000 yuan on that trip. Although he was not seriously injured, Xiao Jinfeng was still very angry and wanted to beat the guy up.
However, he did not rush to beat the man, but asked someone to follow him to see whether the man was cheating him intentionally or unintentionally. Later, after investigation, he found out that the man had done similar things before and successfully obtained compensation.
This made Xiao Jinfeng furious. He called a few of his brothers and put the man in a sack on a dark and windy night.
After a good beating, Xiao Jinfeng felt better.
Because of this loss, Xiao Jinfeng discovered his own shortcomings. He now decided to communicate more with his peers, learn more about transportation, and know more ways to avoid being deceived.
He shared several methods he had learned with Gao Mingcheng. Gao Mingcheng also suggested some preventive measures based on some later experiences. The two were so excited about talking that they almost forgot the time.
It was almost nine o'clock. Xiao Jinfeng opened the cabin of a truck, which was filled with honey. There was an empty space at the back.
This was specially reserved for Gao Mingcheng.
Fan Chengyao started a high-end honey gift box business in Yangcheng, so he asked Xiao Jinfeng to help him purchase honey here. Now is the honey production season, and Xiao Jinfeng just happened to have saved up half a truck of honey. When he heard that Gao Mingcheng was going to Yangcheng, he arranged it for him.
Gao Mingcheng's honeys are all marked on the bottles, so there is no need to worry about making mistakes when putting them together.
He loaded his honey into the car, secured it, and closed the door.
He climbed into the driver's seat, said goodbye to Xiao Jinfeng, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away the Huanghe brand truck. (End of this chapter)
