Although the two brothers An, An and Wu were naughty, they really didn't dare to provoke the big white goose.
They were chased and pecked by the big white geese at their grandfather's house, and it was so painful.
Chen Rou went in and made a bowl of malted milk for each of the two brothers, and also made a bowl for her fourth sister.
"Make something for me and give it to Hanghang." Sister Chen Si picked up Han Hang and was about to feed him.
"He just drank a bowl before you came. I'm afraid he won't want it now." Chen Rou smiled.
The kid still wanted the Korean Air drink, after all it was really delicious. He drank several sips, then probably felt a little full and couldn't drink any more, so he stopped drinking it.
"It's so delicious!" Brothers An, An and Wu had already finished drinking it and were extremely satisfied.
"Take your brother out to play outside." Sister Chen Si put Hanghang on the ground and said.
"Brother, come out and play with us." An Wu was very enthusiastic. He was the younger brother in the family, and now there was someone younger than him, so he was very happy.
We held hands and went out to play.
"Counting the days, it's only been a week. You're walking pretty steadily." Sister Chen Si said.
Little Hanghang walks like a duck, but he walks very steadily.
Chen Rou smiled. In the past half month, her son has been walking almost every day, and his walking has become more and more steady.
"When will An Anwu leave?" Chen Rou asked with a smile.
"I remember that the two brothers were only able to stand up when they were 14 years old," said Chen Sijie.
After all, the two sons were born a few years earlier, and the conditions at that time were not comparable to those of today. The nutrition was insufficient. Although her mother-in-law favored the two twin grandsons, the family conditions were just that.
Only when the harvest was good did life become better.
"This is what I have, so I take better care of it," said Chen Rou.
Since Hanghang was about five or six months old, Chen Rou had consciously added complementary food to his diet. The nutrition was absolutely comprehensive, so he was strong and developed fast.
Plus she feeds him milk and gives him all kinds of nutritious food, she really takes good care of him.
"Your life nowadays is something that all the women in your village would envy. But Hanghang is already so big, any news about her pregnancy?" said Chen Sijie.
"Already have one, it's about two months old." Chen Rou said with a smile.
Fourth Sister Chen smiled and said, "That's good. Guobin must be happy."
"Fourth sister, were you hurt when you gave birth to these two brothers?" Chen Rou asked.
Fourth Sister Chen nodded and said, "They were indeed injured at that time." So the two brothers are now this old, but they have not been able to get pregnant again until now.
But she has two sons, who dares to look down on her?
"Having these two brothers is enough. If this baby is a girl, I wouldn't want to have it anymore." Chen Rou said.
Having both a son and a daughter is enough. Having a child is not easy.
Fourth Sister Chen was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily, "Are children enough? You won't be able to stand up if you get bullied in the future. You must have more children if you can!"
Even though she was injured, she still wanted to have a baby. In the countryside, you can have less of anything, but you absolutely cannot have less of a son.
Although raising a son is stressful and the boy may make his father poor, he will be a strong labor force when he grows up. This is its purpose.
The second is that people in the countryside can fight over a pile of cow dung. What should we do if a fight breaks out? Naturally, whoever has more sons will be more powerful.
Don't say that they are just a bunch of rough men. No matter how many there are, it's useless. People in the countryside can't even get enough food to eat. Who would talk to you about this?
In the countryside, to put it bluntly, if you don't have a son at home, you wouldn't dare to quarrel with others when you go out.
Chen Sijie has two sons, which is not a small number, but there is not much space in the countryside. Chen Sijie really wants one, but she may not have the chance in the future.
And her sister actually said that if she wanted to have children, she wouldn't have any? Sister Chen Si gave her a big eye roll.
Chen Rou's mouth twitched, and she said, "My Guo Bin is here."
She is here, who dares to bully her?
"Don't be silly. It's better to have more children. Guobin has a job now and can make money. If you have more children, you won't have trouble finding a wife in the future. When they grow up, you can enjoy your life. Otherwise, Hanghang will have to raise the young and take care of the elderly. What do you want him to do? If you have more brothers, he will share the burden and won't have so much pressure." said Chen Sijie.
Chen Rou thought, this is indeed a problem. Before she came here, before she was reincarnated into the body of the girl in the peaceful era, that girl was an only child and was under a lot of pressure. Although the living conditions in later generations have improved, there are also different social pressures.
"It's right to listen to me. Have more children so that brothers and sisters can take care of each other in the future." said Fourth Sister Chen.
"Take your time." Chen Rou smiled. This was just in her mind.
"We will separate at the end of this year," said Chen Sijie again.
"So soon?" Chen Rou was surprised: "Who suggested it?"
She had just mentioned this when she went back to her parents' home during the Chinese New Year. They were going to split up this year, but based on her understanding of her sister, it definitely wasn't her sister who suggested it.
Of course it wasn't Fourth Sister Chen who proposed it, but her other three sisters-in-law.
Otherwise, how can people say that Chen Sijie married into a wealthy family? She married into the Old An family, which has four brothers, not counting the sisters-in-law, and the family is the team leader's family, so the conditions are very good.
"But I guess my parents-in-law are also thinking about dividing the family business, so they agreed without much hesitation," said Chen Sijie.
So this year her family will be divided.
"Building a house is a big problem. Do you need some money?" Chen Rou asked her fourth sister.
Sister Chen was a little embarrassed and said, "I came here today because I really wanted to borrow some money from you. I want to build a brick house directly after the money is divided. By then, I should have less money."
"How much do you want?" Chen Rou asked.
"Fifty dollars?" Sister Chen looked at her.
Fifty dollars is a lot of money. I wonder if her sister will lend it to her?
"A brick house costs a lot of money. How much can you get if you divide the family property?" Chen Rou asked.
"Probably a hundred." Chen Sijie said. She privately asked her father-in-law Dabang to ask her parents-in-law, and the family would give them about a hundred yuan.
In today's division of families, such assets are quite a lot.
"How much did you borrow from your mother's family?" Chen Rou asked.
"I borrowed a hundred yuan from my mother." Sister Chen Si said.
"Including the fifty yuan from me, that's only two hundred and fifty yuan, which is not enough to build a house." Chen Rou said.
"Other people in the village will also borrow some." said Sister Chen Si.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "No matter how much money we can borrow from the village, we can only borrow 20 or 30 yuan." She looked at her fourth sister and asked, "Fourth sister, are you sure you only want to borrow 50 yuan from me?"
"Are you willing to lend more?" Sister Chen Si actually really wanted to borrow more, but she was afraid that her sister would not lend it to her.
"I'll lend you a hundred and fifty. Don't worry about paying it back. When conditions improve in the future, you can give it back. But don't cut the food expenses of my brother-in-law and my two nephews." Chen Rou said.
Fourth Sister Chen was stunned. She thought she could only borrow fifty yuan at most from her sister, so she only asked for fifty. Now her sister asked for one hundred and fifty?
"You don't need that much. Your family also needs to start a business." Sister Chen said hurriedly. One hundred and fifty yuan, how could she dare to borrow so much?
"We'll talk about the future when the child grows as old as our two nephews. For now, just live like this." Chen Rou said.
"That's too much. If Guobin finds out that you gave me so much, he will be mad at you. Let's not quarrel over this." Sister Chen Si said.
"I make the decisions on household matters, Guobin never interferes." Chen Rou smiled.
No matter what happens at home, her husband Guobin will never say anything to her. He just focuses on making money for the family.
This rough guy is sometimes not at home, and she can't help feeling sweet when she occasionally thinks of him.
Of course, she would not give away all his earnings, that was impossible. Now she was so generous to her sister because she knew what kind of people her sister and her brother-in-law were.
Why not try that bad brother or sister? Let alone 150 yuan, even 5 yuan would be hard to take out from her. The money that her husband Guobin had earned with great difficulty should be used to run his own family, not to squander.
"One hundred and fifty yuan, are you willing to give it to me?" Sister Chen Si said to her sister.
"You are the only sister I have." Chen Rou said, then got up and went into the house to get the money.
Leaving Chen Sijie behind moved her younger sister, who had been a little bit lacking in talent since childhood. In the past, her younger sister was very pretty, and it was hard to find anyone prettier than her in the whole village.
She is not bad, but still slightly worse than her younger sister.
But having good looks is useless, because in the past, the head was used to show height.
But now that she is married and sensible, these words are really comforting to me.
Chen Rou didn't have so many thoughts. The family had quite a bit of money now. Han Guobin brought home nearly thirty yuan every month.
From last year to this year, I have saved some money, and I have barely made back the money I spent on buying watches and bicycles.
The family has quite a bit of savings at the moment.
It's nothing to take out fifteen reunion tickets to lend to her fourth sister.
"Fourth sister." Chen Rou called out from inside the house.
Sister Chen Si came in.
Naturally, she had to go into the house to get the money, so she gave the hundred and fifty yuan to her fourth sister.
"It may take a while for me to pay it back. I'll pay back the money to the villagers first, and then yours." Sister Chen Si told her that her mother's family would be the last to pay back.
"Just don't cut back on the food for my brother-in-law and my two nephews, especially my nephews. They are growing up and will raise eggs at home in the future. Don't save them to exchange for those few cents. Use this to give them more food." Chen Rou said.
"I know what's going on." said Sister Chen Si.
"What's the point? I don't know you. If you go out and live on your own, you will be very stingy." Chen Rou said, "You only have a few years to grow up. If you miss it, it will be a lifetime thing."
"Okay, okay, I'm their mother, how can I treat them badly?" Fourth Sister Chen rolled her eyes at her in annoyance.
"Stay for lunch today and then go back." Chen Rou said.
"I brought some food and left it with mother. She has already cooked it. Let's go over there to eat." said Chen Sijie.
Chen Rou didn't say anything.
When her fourth sister was about to leave, Chen Rou gave two boiled eggs to her nephew.
"Mom, my aunt is so nice. Please come to her house when you have time in the future." An said.
"That's right, my aunt is very nice." An Wu also nodded.
The two brothers ate boiled eggs, which were so delicious.
"You two heartless brats, don't you even know how to give your mother a bite to eat? Don't even think about coming next time." Fourth Sister Chen scolded.
"Mom, hurry up and eat, I just wanted to say something!" Lao Da An immediately came over and said.
"That's right, mom, you eat." The second brother An imitated the accent of the people who were sent down to do the work and came over.
Sister Chen was not polite at all and ate both of her sons' eggs.
But she couldn't let these two brats develop the habit of eating alone. She had sacrificed half her life to give birth to them, so they had to be filial.
The two brothers had bitter faces. Their mother was really harsh on them. However, after their mother praised them for being filial, they didn't mind it anymore and were quite happy.
When she arrived at her mother's house, Sister Chen Si was brought into the house by her mother.
Chen's mother gave her one hundred and twenty yuan.
Fourth sister Chen wanted to borrow a hundred yuan, but her mother took out twenty more yuan just to give her daughter some extra money.
Fourth Sister Chen's eyes were still a little red, and she said, "Mother, now I feel that it is so good to have my mother's family."
Mother Chen rolled her eyes at her: "What if I treated you badly in the past? Do you still have any conscience?"
Fourth Sister Chen smiled and said, "No, I just never felt that having a daughter from my mother's side was so lucky!"
"Not all girls from other families are treated this way. Look at the Zhao family at the end of our village. They don't treat their daughter as a human being. At such a prime age, they let her marry a lame old man who is almost 40 years old and older than her father." said Chen's mother.
Fourth Sister Chen said, "I don't care about other people's families. I am happy anyway."
"Did Rourou give it to you?" asked Chen's mother.
"I took it." Sister Chen smiled and said, "Mother, guess how much did my younger sister take for me?"
"Hundred?" asked Chen's mother.
She knew that the eldest daughter was going to ask the younger daughter to borrow fifty dollars. The eldest daughter had mentioned this before she went over, but she thought the younger daughter would give more.
"Mom, you also think that my younger sister will give me more." said Chen Sijie.
"Don't always look at people with old eyes. Rourou can live her life now, no worse than you." said Chen's mother.
"Don't look at people with old eyes. My younger sister gave me 150 yuan." said Chen Sijie.
With so much money, if it were her, she might not be willing to take it out, but her sister gave it to her.
Mother Chen was also a little surprised, but not too surprised: "Your sister remembers you as her elder sister, so she is willing to give it to you."
"I know." Sister Chen nodded.
Otherwise, why do people say that the mother's home is the root of a married daughter? As long as the mother's home is there, the married daughter will not be worried.
And sisters, even if they are married, are still their mother's family.
Chen Sijie stayed with her two sons for a meal, and then went home with 270 yuan borrowed from her mother's family.
An Dabang still had to go to work. After he came back from work, his wife took out such a large sum of money.
"My mother gave me 120 yuan, and my sister gave me 150 yuan," said Chen Sijie.
An Dabang nodded seriously and said, "You must remember this."
"Of course you have to remember that." Fourth Sister Chen rolled her eyes at him and said, "Let me tell you, my parents' side all dote on me. If you dare flirt with those restless women in the village, I will take my two sons and leave!"
An Dabang was immediately at a loss for words: "When did I do that?"
"It's just to give you a wake-up call." Sister Chen Si snorted.
The current social atmosphere is indeed strict, but there are still some gossips in the village, such as so-and-so's man sneaking into the corn field with so-and-so, so-and-so's wife's child doesn't look like her husband, and so-and-so's man.
Before this rough guy in her family got married, there were many young girls eyeing him. Now that he is married, there are still two who still have the crush on him. From time to time, they will chat with him when they meet.
What are you talking about? What's there to talk about? Don't you all have families? Keep your distance, understand?
What else can Andabang say? It's so unfair, he is a man who lives a good life with his wife!
Let’s talk about Chen Rou.
The family gave her sister 150 yuan. Although Han Guobin didn't take care of family affairs, he should have the right to know.
Chen Rou didn't say it when she came back at night, but she said it the next morning when she was having breakfast.
Han Guobin didn't say anything, just let his wife handle it. His wife made the decisions on household matters and he didn't interfere.
After all, he knew that he had met both An Dabang and his aunt Chen Wen.
"Go to sleep after eating. It's expected to rain again in the next few days, so don't come back then to avoid catching a cold." Chen Rou said.
Han Guobin was not tired either. He went home to sleep at twelve o'clock last night and got up at seven o'clock. He would not get insufficient sleep. Moreover, he could take turns to rest with his colleague Li Dayuan while driving. There was nothing to worry about.
"I went into the mountains to fish." Han Guobin said.
"Is it too late?" Chen Rou asked.
"There's still time." Han Guobin nodded. His wife is pregnant now, so she must eat more fish.
Han Guobin went into the mountains. When he returned home, it was almost half past ten. He left the wooden barrel behind and went to work immediately.
There were two fish in the wooden barrel, both were small tilapia, weighing about a pound each, so Chen Rou put them into the pot and stewed them.
At noon, Tiedan came running over.
"What's wrong?" Chen Rou asked.
"Second aunt, let me be your son. I don't want to be my mother's son anymore. She always beats me." Tiedan said.
His second aunt was just fine. He had never seen her beat Hang Hang.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Are you being naughty again?"
"I'm innocent. I just picked up some wild duck eggs outside, but I didn't take them home to roast them, so my mother beat me." Tiedan said.
And he wasn't the only one who didn't take it home. The others who picked up the eggs didn't take them home either. They roasted the wild duck eggs and ate them. They were so delicious, so he told about it when he got home, and his mother wanted to beat him up.
Chen Rou said, "I stewed fish for lunch. Do you want to stay for dinner?"
"Is it okay?" Tiedan's eyes lit up. He naturally wanted to stay at his second aunt's house for dinner, but he was not a child anymore and knew that he was not his second aunt's son. It was not easy to earn food, as his father had told him.
"Okay." Chen Rou smiled and invited him to stay for dinner.
Chen Rou brought him some boiled sweet potatoes. Although Tiedan was small, he had a big appetite. The boiled sweet potatoes tasted great when paired with stewed fish.
When Han's eldest sister-in-law came over, she saw her son wolfing down the food. The second sister-in-law didn't say anything about her son, but was just feeding Hanghang fish.
"Mom, I ate at my second aunt's house. The stewed fish was delicious!" Tiedan, who only cared about eating and not fighting, said when he saw his mother coming.
Chen Rou also noticed Han Dasao and said, "Let's go to Dasao's house to eat. Tiedan has already eaten here."
After all, her own son took advantage, so Mrs. Han no longer looked so sullen as if she owed her a lot of money.
In fact, compared to her sister-in-law Song Xiaoyu, she still prefers dealing with Chen Rou.
It’s just that Chen Rou doesn’t want to deal with her loud-mouthed sister-in-law.
But there are no mushrooms at my mother's house, so Mrs. Han should have saved up a lot. I saw her picking a lot last time.
"Sister-in-law, come and sit down." Chen Rou greeted her.
Mrs. Han sat down and glared at her eldest son. Tiedan then ran back home with a boiled sweet potato, fearing that his mother would beat him.
Brother Han, who was eating at home, saw the sweet potatoes he took and knew without asking that he must have gone to his second aunt's house to eat.
At home, Chen Rou was chatting with Han's sister-in-law. As they were chatting, she said softly, "Colleague Guobin wants to eat some mushrooms, but I have already made pickles with all the mushrooms at home. Sister-in-law, you are here today, and I am too lazy to go back to my parents' home to ask, do you have any mushrooms left?"
Mrs. Han didn't think much about it and just said casually, "I dried a lot last time, about two or three kilograms. If you want, I'll ask Tiedan to bring it to you later. Apart from the favor, you can eat the rest yourself."
Anyway, she is not very interested in eating mushrooms. There are plenty of them in the mountains as long as it rains.
But no matter how little she cared about it, it was only Chen Rou who asked for it. If Song Xiaoyu and Han's mother came to try, they would not be able to get even a single mushroom from her.
She knew that her stupid son came here to eat, and she learned from him what he had eaten at Second Aunt's house. Today, he went to Second Aunt's house to drink water, and Second Aunt gave him some boiled peanuts or something.
Every time Brother Han brought fish to the old house, she would mutter that there was not enough for her own family, so why take it away.
But when she took it over here, she just pouted and said nothing else.
"It's not good to take your things for nothing. Give it to me and I'll pay for it." Chen Rou said slowly.
Mrs. Han was stunned for a moment, then looked towards the second brother's family, and Chen Rou also looked at her.
Seeing her like this, Han Dasao was immediately excited. She knew there was nothing she didn't understand. "The second brother's..." She stopped talking immediately and looked outside. She looked more worried than Chen Rou. After making sure that no one was around, she urged, "Go inside and talk."
Chen Rou laughed in her heart. Her father Guobin was right. His mouth was tighter than anyone else's.
"Sister-in-law, please go home and eat first. I still have to feed Hanghang. Let's talk after I finish feeding him." Chen Rou said, sitting still.
"Then I'll go home and get it for you." Mrs. Han said immediately.
"Brother, over there..."
As soon as Chen Rou opened her mouth, Han Dasao said, "I won't say a word to that fool, don't worry!"
What kind of person is my man? He is so stupid. How can I tell him such things? She can just earn it herself!
Mrs. Han went back in a hurry. Chen Rou raised a smile when she saw her like that. When she saw his mother smile, little Hanghang also smiled.
After Chen Rou fed him, she let him play by himself and started eating.
When Mrs. Han came over with a basket of mushrooms, Chen Rou had already started washing dishes and pots. Mrs. Han was very enthusiastic and wanted to help her wash them.
"Sister-in-law, please sit down. I'll take care of all this." Chen Rou said.
Mrs. Han went to sit down, and waited until Chen Rou finished her work before she could no longer wait to urge her to come into the house.
"There are not many mushrooms here, only about three pounds. You didn't want them when I told you last time, so I didn't pick more." said Mrs. Han.
"Guobin came back and asked me about it. I didn't have any myself, so I asked you, sister-in-law. We don't do that. His colleagues are from the city and they don't grow food like us. If we want to eat it, we can go up the mountain to pick it." Chen Rou said.
"That's true. We all envy city people, but city people want money for everything, and we can't even catch a single fish." Mrs. Han heard this and said hurriedly.
"Sister-in-law, please keep it. If Guobin's colleagues need it again in the future, I will ask you. But this is something only we know about." Chen Rou stuffed the money over and said.
"Don't worry about this!" Mrs. Han held the money tightly, and the smile on her face couldn't be more sincere: "I won't even tell your eldest brother about this!"
"Not only my eldest brother, but also your sister-in-law's family." Chen Rou said.
In fact, she also wanted to charge more, but she really didn't trust her sister-in-law's family, so she gave up.
Mrs. Han said, "Don't worry about my mouth!"
"It was you, sister-in-law, who spread the matter about my third brother's wife." Chen Rou looked at her and said.
"This is not the case. She hasn't taken advantage enough and now she wants to instigate the old lady to take my second uncle's salary. I really can't stand it anymore. How can I not let her know how powerful I am?" said Mrs. Han.
What she said was quite selfless. Chen Rou laughed and said, "Anyway, sister-in-law, you can do whatever you want. As long as there is a little rumor, I will not take mushrooms from you anymore."
Mrs. Han immediately said, "I guarantee it won't happen!"
Chen Rou didn't say anything then, and Mrs. Han left happily.
Three pounds of dried mushrooms really don't cost much. In this day and age, meat and eggs are valuable, but vegetarian foods like mushrooms are not worth much.
But nowadays a box of matches costs two cents, and a pound of salt is only 7 cents. Mushrooms grow freely in the mountains and can be picked in your spare time when you don't have to work, so any profit you make is free money.
How could Mrs. Han not be happy?
In the evening, Chen Rou stewed the remaining fish and also fed a lot of it to little Hanghang.
When Han Guobin came back at night, Chen Rou told him the whole story with a smile.
Han Guobin just smiled. He saw clearly what his sister-in-law was like in the old house. If there was money for her to earn, even a shovel might not be enough to dig open her mouth.
"I've thought of a name for our second child." Han Guobin said comfortably, hugging his wife.
"What's your name?" Chen Rou was a little sleepy, but still leaned on his arms and said.
"If it's a son, we'll name her Han Zhou, and if it's a daughter, we'll name her Han Cheng," said Han Guobin.
"Han Chen, why don't you use your family name or mine?" Chen Rou said.
"That's the idea, but the nickname is Orange, which means Orange." Han Guobin said, kissing his wife: "I wonder if we can have twins?"
Chen Rou smiled and said, "I'm not as good as my sister." Then she fell asleep.
Han Guobin hugged his wife and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, his wife was sleeping soundly, so he got up to change his son's diaper, and then continued to sleep with his son.
The days that followed became hotter and hotter, but it rained before the hottest days of summer.
Mrs. Han was so happy.
"It's not like you haven't seen rain before. Look how happy you are." Brother Han said.
Mrs. Han snorted: "What do you know, you fool?"
It's raining, so she has to take her two sons into the mountains to pick mushrooms. Last time she didn't prepare to exchange them for money, so she didn't pick much. Today she wants to exchange them for money, so she must pick more.
Not only Mrs. Han was happy, but everyone else in the village was happy too, because the rain made the men feel a lot more relaxed.
It's so hot now, and there's a shortage of water for irrigation. My shoulders are red and broken from carrying water. Wouldn't it be much more comfortable if it rained?
After raining for a few days, the sky after the rain was as clear as a cleaned mirror.
A large number of women who came to pick mushrooms also went into the mountains.
"You two follow me and pick mushrooms with me. When we get back, I'll boil eggs for you!" Mrs. Han said to her two sons with high morale.
"Will you share it with us?" Tiedan asked.
"Of course we share it!" Mrs. Han said with her eyes wide open.
Although it's stingy, it's better than nothing. Tiedan took his brother to start picking mushrooms. Although they are small, they know what the adults have told them, which mushrooms can be picked and which are poisonous and cannot be picked.
Even if there is some confusion, the adults will screen them again after picking them.
Chen Rou sent her son back to her parents' home early in the morning and went up the mountain to pick mushrooms with Zhou Zhen.
I bumped into Han Dasao, who smiled and said, "There are a lot of mushrooms on the mountain. We must pick more to take back today."
Chen Rou nodded, and then went to collect with Zhou Zhen somewhere else. Zhou Zhen was still muttering: "What's going on? Last time, she acted like she owed someone something, but now she has changed her temper?"
"She is just like that, just don't take it seriously." Chen Rou said.
Zhou Zhen joined her in digging mushrooms.
It only took two days, and after two days, we had to go to work. The grass in the field grew very fast, so it naturally had to be removed manually.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter.
Especially starting from the beginning of July, the daytime was extremely hot. After Han Guobin brought back a batch of fertilizers for the village, Chen Rou simply stopped going out.
Escape the summer heat in your own small adobe house which is warm in winter and cool in summer.
Work points are important, but you should be more careful when you are pregnant so as not to go hungry. Now it is the first three months, so you naturally need to pay more attention, after all, there is still the autumn harvest later.
When Qiu received it, the weather was not so hot anymore and her stomach was feeling better, so she planned to go out and earn those work points.
It's the hottest time of the year now, so just forget it.
Because of this incident, many people in the village said that she was pampered. There were countless pregnant women who went to the fields, but she was the only one who refused to do so.
However, Han Guobin transported back fertilizers. Everyone saw the nearly 1,000 kg increase in wheat production during the summer harvest. This time, more fertilizers were transported back than before, so the production will definitely increase a lot.
Therefore, Chen Rou's blatant laziness could only be condemned, but not much was said openly.
Han Guobin would go to work during his three-day holiday, and he didn't care at all that his wife didn't go.
I'm pregnant, how can I bear such hot weather? You should just rest at home.
During the first ten days of the lunar month, the dog days of summer are over, and by the end of the month, the weather has become much milder. It is still hot, but not as hot.
Chen Rou started to work. She sent little Hanghang to her mother's house and went to work pulling grass for pigs.
There are also many pregnant women in the village. After the slack season last year, there are really many women who want to give birth this year. After all, during the slack season, all they are busy with is sex on the kang, so now there are many women giving birth.
However, none of them looked as good as Chen Rou.
It is inevitable that some people will be jealous.
"Second sister-in-law Han, you haven't been working for a while, but you have taken good care of yourself. You're almost having two children now. Looking at you like this, I'd think you're not married." The eldest daughter-in-law, who came over to pull grass for the pigs, said sourly.
Chen Rou glanced at her and said, "Sister-in-law looks good, and her belly is so big, she must be giving birth soon."
"You're not so lucky. My belly is so big and I still have to work!" said the eldest daughter-in-law.
Didn't Chen Rou go out to gather grass for pigs on the day she gave birth to her first child? She gave birth right after she came back. This was very common in the village, and she didn't act pretentiously and think she was something special.
Seeing that she didn't respond, the daughter-in-law wanted to say something, so her cousin Cai Lihua, who helped buy the pot and gave Hanghang eggs, said, "Okay, get busy now. The pigs are crying for food, so they need a lot of pig grass. The harvest in the village is good now, and the work points have been raised. If you get a lot of good pig grass, you can get three work points."
This is the truth. Not only have the work points for pulling weeds for pigs been raised, but also for those who do the work. The full work points for women comrades are five, and they can get six during the harvest. Last year it was raised to seven, and this year it will continue to be seven, and the best workers can get bonus points.
There are really a lot more than before.
Everyone went back to picking up pig grass, and Cai Lihua said to Chen Rou, "Don't worry about her. She's just jealous of you. She didn't want to marry Uncle Guobin back then. She's not bad now, but she can't compare to you."
"Did she have a history with my Guobin?" Chen Rou asked in surprise.
"No, it's clear and innocent. Don't think too much about it. Her grandmother is very optimistic about Uncle Guobin and wants to talk to him, but she herself is not happy about it." Cai Lihua got married a long time ago and knew everything about the village.
Chen Rou finally understood and smiled.
My cousin, Cai Lihua, was pregnant at the moment, so she didn't go to work and came here to pull grass for the pigs to earn work points.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, this is your third child, right?"
"It's the third one." Cai Lihua nodded.
"When will the baby be born?" Chen Rou said.
"There is almost half a month left. I am looking forward to giving birth soon. After giving birth, I will take some time off to recuperate. It will be almost the autumn harvest time too," said Cai Lihua.
It has already been distributed. Work points are very important to my small family, especially since there is a third child in the family. I have to earn work points to raise the child.
Her husband is Han Guobin's cousin. Han Guoming, who helped transport grain back last time, is also a good worker and not lazy. But if a family relies on only one man, the man will be under a lot of pressure.
Cai Lihua gave birth in early September, and my cousin-in-law was a strong person. She went to pull grass for the pigs that morning, but she didn't go in the afternoon.
Seeing that she didn't go, Chen Rou went to check on her home after she came back, and found that she was about to give birth.
She scooped two spoonfuls of brown sugar over, as she guessed that her cousin's family definitely didn't have any brown sugar.
When the brown sugar was brought over, Cai Lihua was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "Why would I need this?"
"Yes, after you give birth, I'll ask Brother Guoming to make you a bowl of brown sugar porridge." Chen Rou said.
Cai Lihua knew that she really wanted to give it, so she smiled and nodded to thank her.
Because this was my third child, the birth was very easy and I was done at around nine o'clock.
Han Guoming was also told that shortly after the birth, he brought brown sugar porridge to his wife. After his wife finished eating, he fell asleep quickly.
Chen Rou came over to check twice more and earned her work points.
In the blink of an eye, it is September and it is time to start preparing for the autumn harvest.
Han Guobin has been paying close attention to rest recently. Seeing this, Chen Rou knows that he is starting to prepare for the autumn harvest.
"I can take care of myself. You can go to work and don't worry about me. I'm not made of water. I'm not that delicate." Chen Rou said while having breakfast with him.
Although she looks delicate, she is very strong inside. Simple hardships cannot shake her at all, and the autumn harvest is all ripe.
Han Guobin smiled and said, "It's just the autumn harvest. After we're done with it, we'll have plenty of time to rest."
This year the crops matured faster, and the team started harvesting them in early September.
Han Guobin returned home at twelve o'clock in the evening, slept for four hours, and then got up and went out with the men to collect grain.
He worked until about ten o'clock, then rode his bicycle to the county town to work. He certainly didn't earn many work points by doing this.
Chen Rou also tried to persuade him, but the man said he was not tired. Seeing that he insisted, Chen Rou could only let him do what he wanted, but she still gave him plenty of good things to eat.
She made the noodles and rice in the space for him to eat as breakfast. She brought breakfast with her when she went to work.
Little Hanghang spent the entire autumn harvest time at his grandmother's house. In the evening, Mother Chen would either bring the food herself or ask her third brother to bring it to her.
After the entire autumn harvest was completed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The most feared thing during autumn harvest is autumn rain.
If the harvest is late, or the autumn rain comes early, all the food for the whole year will be wasted, and people will starve to death.
Therefore, everyone is involved in the autumn harvest, hoping to collect and store the grain as soon as possible so that they can feel at ease.
In the beginning, many people slacked off, and because of the autumn rains, they were unable to harvest the crops. They were so hungry that they could hardly walk that whole winter.
Now I don’t dare to be like before. Although some of them are still lazy, most of them are very hardworking.
The problem is not that big. Food
