A few days after Wu Xin and his friends came, Sun Ada also came.
As usual, he drove the tractor at a rumbling speed. When he arrived at the door, he didn't even put out the engine and walked into the house while calling Qiuhua.
"Uncle, why are you here? What happened at home?"
When Qiuhua saw this, she felt a chill in her heart and was very scared.
"No, no, good things, good things..."
"Good news, could it be that my sister-in-law..."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes..."
"Then let's go quickly..."
"Okay, okay, quick..."
The two of them were talking in a random manner, as if they were playing a riddle, but they managed to communicate with each other like secret codes.
When the tractor started moving again, Qiuhua asked again, "Was it a boy or a girl, my sister-in-law?"
"boy!"
By the way, the night before last, Xiaojuan was craving for something spicy again. This time, she said she wanted something spicy, not just something that could be solved by just stir-frying chili peppers. She said she wanted something with soup and a layer of red oil floating on top.
This put the whole family in a dilemma. The cuisine here is light and sweet, so where does the chili come from?
Coincidentally, someone in the village was building a new house, and one of the masters was from another place. Dahua specially gave money to have him move in from home and bring the house over.
It was indeed a soup with a layer of red oil floating on top. At the bottom of the bowl were bean sprouts and sweet potato slices, and on top were meat slices, minced garlic and peppercorns.
Hula, hula, Xiaojuan ate the whole bowl and felt very comfortable.
In the middle of the night, Xiaojuan dreamed that someone was pulling her stomach hard, and the pain lasted for a while.
She woke up in a trance and felt something was wrong but didn't say anything. She waited until the next morning, when her family rushed her to the hospital.
Having a first child is indeed a bit difficult. I went to the hospital in the morning and gave birth in the middle of the night.
Dahua waited outside for the entire day and only went to the toilet when he could no longer hold it in.
After waiting for a long time for the door to open, a nurse came out holding a child. Dahua rushed over and asked, "Whose is this?"
The nurse gave him a stern look: "Yours!"
Dahai stood there for a few seconds before reaching out to take it, his mind blank.
Is this what it means to be a father?
Liang Guoguo was wrapped in a blanket, and with her little eyes opened a slit, she glanced at her silly father.
Xiaojuan was discharged from the hospital three days later, and the three chickens and two ducks at home were trembling.
The first generation of grandchildren of the Liang family was born, and the whole family loved them very much.
The little guy was sleeping soundly. Everyone gathered around him to watch him. He seemed to sense it and his short eyelashes trembled in response.
"Is it a little smelly?" Erhua held Liang Guoguo in his hands like serving a dish. The little soft person made him so nervous that sweat broke out on his back.
Luo Zhen leaned over to smell it carefully. There was a pleasant milky fragrance, and then there was... a really stinky smell.
"It's over, it's over, it's over!" Erhua screamed, "It must have happened. My hands are wet and hot."
"Wow——" Liang Guoguo's face wrinkled together. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Erhua's reaction!
Everyone burst into laughter. Chunhua was picked up by his father and looked at his nephew. He clapped his hands and shouted, "I won't be the youngest in this family anymore!"
On the first day Xiaojuan and Guoguo returned home, Dahua planted a peach tree in the yard. The rootstock was already two years old, and he also got a mother peach tree from outside. Guoguo grew up with the peach tree, and when he learned to eat, the fruits on the tree were ripe.
Xiaojuan laughed at him: "What if Guoguo doesn't like peaches?"
"Then I'll plant whatever he likes to eat. You see, there will be everything on the hill in the future. Loquats, oranges, and bayberries are all he can choose!"
A few days later, my mother took the glutinous rice to the team to grind it into flour and make glutinous rice balls.
Glutinous rice flour and water were mixed and rolled into long strips. Each person broke them into pieces while several others pressed them into dumplings. Mum, Qiuhua, Luo Zhen, and Aunt Xu—four people in total. The pressed dumplings were set aside to dry. Using a brush dipped in red ink, each person dotted the center of each with a dot of red.
In addition, boil another pot of eggs, let them cool down, put them in red juice water to take a bath, and they will become wedding eggs when they come out.
"Look at Qiuhua, she works so well. Whoever she marries will be blessed!"
Aunt Xu likes Qiuhua since she was a child.
She smiled shyly, but her hands continued to move skillfully.
"Qiuhua, if you find a suitable family, go and check out Hengliang. Don't delay."
Qiuhua nodded to show that she had understood and said, "Aunt, I will."
In a few days, Xu Guoqing and Zhao Meiying will be getting engaged. Aunt Xu has been smiling all the time these past two days.
"In the future, when Meiying gets married, you two sisters will be able to be closer."
Thinking of this, Qiuhua was happy for them and nodded in agreement.
While they were chatting, they heard Guoguo crying from inside the room. Mom came in with a smile and cleaned up the room, then picked up a basin of diapers to wash.
"Your mother is feeling tired but also blessed right now. Look how happy she is!"
Since Guoguo was born, Qiu Zhen has been taking care of him day and night, tirelessly, and her appearance is radiant.
After washing the diapers and laying them out to dry, he immediately went inside to get some food for Xiaojuan.
Boil water in a pot, beat two eggs in, cook for a while, add some brown sugar, and this is the brown sugar egg soup that helps increase milk production.
Qiu Zhen had prepared fermented glutinous rice earlier. After the water boiled, she put the fermented glutinous rice in, then poured in the beaten egg liquid and stirred it. This is the fermented glutinous rice egg drop soup.
Anyway, you can drink the two milk-inducing soups alternately every day, but the good nutrition of two eggs every day remains unchanged.
Qiu Zhen took great care of Xiaojuan. In short, she didn't want her daughter-in-law to suffer the same hardships she had gone through.
When the brown sugar and egg soup was served, Guoguo had already eaten and drunk his fill and was sleeping on the side. Xiaojuan drank the soup and ate the egg, and her mood gradually improved.
"Mom, you've worked hard."
She had naturally noticed how busy her mother had been lately, and was glad that she had met this family.
"What are you talking about? At this critical moment, I'm just doing what I should do." Mom put away the bowl and said, "Xiaojuan, you are the one who is working hard. Take good care of your health. All this is worth it!"
For an ordinary farming family, if every member of the family is motivated, sensible, and considerate of each other, then life will surely go in a good direction.
