Chapter 2: Baby
I knew that the third daughter-in-law was a cunning person, so she should be careful with her words.
These days, the daughter-in-law has been lying down and sulking, not doing any work or talking, and it is obvious that she wants to ask her for the 800 yuan.
Fang Dihua felt that she could not tolerate her bad habits.
That was her son's life-saving money, and the family had enough food and drink, so why would she touch that money?
If people knew that she had money, they would squeeze through the door to borrow it? How could she hold it back?
The son was gone, but the daughter-in-law was still young and beautiful, and she could definitely marry a young man without any burden.
Fang Dihua did not stop her.
Of course, her daughter-in-law didn't show her thoughts in this regard. She was just deliberately trying to make her daughter-in-law angry and refute her, so that she wouldn't be embarrassed all the time. She really couldn't stand her daughter-in-law's coquettish behavior.
Who would want to coax her every day?
Seeing her daughter-in-law lying on the kang without moving, Fang Dihua became more and more angry. She simply washed the pot, added water, put on the grate, sat on the grate, and then put a blanket of corn cobs and a few thin noodle rolls that had been steamed in the morning into the pot to steam.
She glanced at the kang in the west room, then went to the small pot in her room in the east room to get two eggs, cracked them into a large coarse porcelain bowl, stirred them evenly, poured half a bowl of cold water, pinched a few grains of salt, covered a plate, and sat on the grate to steam the egg custard.
In the hot weather, she deliberately put the heat on Lin Shu's kang, saying, "Don't you like lying down? I want to see if you can stay lying down when it's hot." She
waited for the water to boil and the lid to smoke, then she went outside the window to get two pickled vegetable lumps from the pickled vegetable jar, rinsed them with water, and put them on the thick vegetable chopping board to cut them into shreds.
After cutting into strips, wash off the bitter taste of the pickled vegetables in clean water, then drain the water and put them in a large enamel bowl, dip chopsticks in two drops of sesame oil, put a chopstick of farm sauce in it, and then throw in some chopped green onions, ginger and garlic, mix it and it's a side dish.
Lin Shu got up.
It was late May, and it was already very hot. The mother-in-law was pumping the bellows to make the fire burn vigorously, which made her sweat.
Lin Shu went downstairs to put on straw sandals, combed her hair, lowered her eyelashes, and imitated the original owner's aggrieved look, taking a deep breath, "Mom, I didn't mean that."
Oh, suddenly there was a mouth.
Fang Dihua glanced at her and saw that her eyes were red and her nose was red, and she looked pitiful. This person really has a good face that makes people not angry.
Although she is sulking all day long, she actually makes others angry enough.
Fang Dihua: "Call Tiantian and Panpan back for dinner later, and don't tell them anything."
Lin Shu responded in a low voice. The parents-in-law have always refused to admit that their son is gone, and they don't allow them to tell the children.
Fang Dihua: "I made half a bowl of extra egg custard, you can have a few bites too. The dry grains are gone, and I will steam a new pot in the afternoon."
After the rice was heated, Fang Dihua opened the pot, took a small basket specially for dry grains, picked up all the nests, left the thin noodle rolls and egg custard in it, and filled a pot of hot water.
She covered the dry food with a bundle, put the pickled vegetables on top, and took out a chopstick, then picked up the soup pot and glanced at Lin Shu.
She stopped saying harsh words
when her daughter-in-law got up, but if she didn't get up again, she would definitely take measures. As a mother, wouldn't she feel sad and uncomfortable that the third child is gone?
People would say that she must be heartless because she goes to work all day long?
What can she do? There are still a lot of old and young people in the family, who
can't live because of someone? If one dies, she will be replaced by her son. She jumped into the Nanhe River first, so how can it be someone else's turn?
Besides, the army said that they didn't find the body, but because they were missing for too long, they classified it as a sacrifice and gave the family a pension.
Fang Dihua didn't admit it.
As long as they didn't see the body, he was not dead.
Her eyes hurt so much that she quickly took big steps and walked away. After passing the screen wall, she raised her arms and wiped her eyes vigorously.
Seeing her mother-in-law's tall back leaving, Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
She walked around the main room in her straw sandals to feel her new body.
This body was similar to her original one, with thin limbs, very fair skin, and light blue veins visible on the back of her hands.
She thought that the original owner had heart pain, could she have a heart disease like herself?
However, the original owner had given birth to twins, and she was busy at home taking care of the children, cooking, and feeding the pigs. Since she had never been sick, there should be no problem.
Go back to the hospital for a check-up.
She returned to the west room. On the black and yellow wall, which was filled with smoke and fire, hung a palm-sized mirror full of cracks. She stepped forward to take a look.
An overly gorgeous face appeared in the cracked mirror, with thin and long eyebrows, big peach-shaped eyes with eyeliner, and a charming arc at the end of the eyes.
The original owner was afraid of being scolded as a vixen, so she usually lowered her eyes and frowned, and dared not look up at people, so she looked timid.
At this moment, Lin Shu raised her eyes and relaxed her eyebrows. Her eyes were flowing with a natural charm, and with her bright red lips, she was even more charming and seductive.
This person looks 80% similar to her original self, but because of illness, she has a gloomy look between her eyebrows all year round, her eyes are bruised, her lips are purple, and her skin is white but has an unhealthy blue tint.
This body feels much healthier than her original one.
Although it was 1971, when people were short of food and clothing, Lin Shu was very happy. What could be more surprising than coming back from the dead and having a healthy body?
She jumped up and down excitedly, enjoying the feeling of her heart beating.
She was so hungry that she quickly grabbed a piece of thin noodle roll and put it in her mouth, chewing it slowly as she walked out.
Originally, the stepdaughter of her sister-in-law was also here.
The sister-in-law, a grown-up girl, insisted on being someone's stepmother, and she often threw the abandoned stepdaughter to the original owner because she was an eyesore. The original owner wanted her parents-in-law to refuse, but they were too lazy to take care of her, so she was always feeling suffocated. When
the bad news of Lu Shaotang came, the original owner "collapsed", and her parents-in-law were busy planting corn and had no time to take care of her, so the sister-in-law took the stepdaughter back .
Lin Shu felt that the original owner's experience and the name of the stepdaughter Xu Xiaoyou were very familiar.
She once read a period novel in which the mother of a villain had the same name as her, and she was quite disgusted at the time.
The Lu family's yard was very large, and Lin Shu walked slowly. As soon as she walked under the gatehouse, she saw the two children running back hand in hand.
The two children are really eye-catching, truly as delicate as jade, with big, round eyes and pupils that are darker and bigger than those of ordinary children.
The girl had two pigtails and the boy had a short crew cut. They all had fair, clean and chubby skin, which was rare among children of this era.
They looked like dolls from New Year paintings.
The original owner was good at sewing. Although she didn't dare to dress up and always wore gray clothes, she dressed the two children neatly.
Both of them wore small military uniforms made from clothes sent by Lu Shaotang, with a five-pointed star embroidered on the collar with red thread.
The two children grew up in a large family. Their grandmother was fierce and their grandfather was gentle. Although their mother was cowardly, they were not greatly affected.
The two children were very happy to see Lin Shu working in the fields.
Tiantian's voice was sweet and pleasant, "Mom, I picked some small penpen and black tiantian for you, you will be fine after eating them."
Panpan's two short legs jumped around Lin Shu vigorously, "Mom, mom, I caught some cicada monkeys for you, you will be fine after eating the meat."
They urged Lin Shu to go back to the main room. Panpan held a cicada monkey in each hand, still alive, and his palms were red from the claws. Tiantian took out the water chestnut and black tiantian from the small cloth bag on his waist.
The scientific name of black tiantian is nightshade. It is green and poisonous. It is purple-black when mature. It is sour and sweet. Children love to eat it.
This thing will be crushed if you are not careful, but Tiantian packed it firmly, without any crushing, and it did not stain the bag.
Looking at the two well-behaved and sensible children, Lin Shu felt soft in her heart.
In her previous life, she was not fit to get married and have children due to her physical condition, but she liked to raise cute babies. The two children of the original owner inherited the advantages of their parents and were prettier than all the children she raised.
The two children were busy feeding their mother.
Lin Shu ate two small fruits and smiled with two pear-shaped curls. She took them to wash their hands. Tiantian
washed herself obediently.
Panpan splashed water excitedly, "Mom is fine, Dad is going home too, I'm going to catch soybean worms for Dad to eat."
Although the two children had never seen Lu Shaotang, their grandparents often talked about him to them. There were also photos sent back by Lu Shaotang at home, and they talked about their father every day.
The parents-in-law didn't want to tell the children about Lu Shaotang, but some people outside were mean and would definitely deliberately provoke the children, so the grandfather told the children that their father had secretly beaten the bad guys and must not let outsiders know.
Lin Shu's heart ached, poor children, who lost their father and mother.
Now that she was dressed as their mother, she would definitely love them well.
She moved the dining table to the door of the main hall, and brought out the egg custard, rolls, and pickled vegetables, and gave each of the two children a spoon so that they could scoop and eat by themselves.
"Mom, eat!" The two children stuffed Lin Shu's mouth.
Lin Shu was afraid that the adults would infect the children with bacteria, so she picked up two bites with chopsticks and said, "Eat quickly."
Seeing that their mother was well, the two children no longer worried about anything, and each took a spoon to eat happily.
Lin Shu was enjoying the cute baby with a smile while eating noodles and pickled vegetables. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. She remembered it! !
She said why the original owner and the name Xu Xiaoyou looked so familiar. Isn't this the "Xu Xiaoyou's Sweet Eighties" that she had seen before?
Xu Xiaoyou is an authentic farm girl. She was abandoned by her grandmother and stepmother since she was a child. When she was fifteen years old, her stepmother and grandmother wanted to marry her off casually in exchange for a dowry. She ran away from home and worked while studying. During this period, she met the male protagonist. The two were attracted to each other and grew up together. Later, they went to college together and started a business together.
There is a big villain named Lu Pan in the story. He is the nephew of the heroine's stepmother. He looks gentle and elegant, handsome and graceful, but in fact he is dark and twisted.
He is extremely smart and good at saving money, but he is not satisfied with this. He relies on his father's deceased comrade to raise his status and expand his high-level connections.
The hero is the nephew of his comrade. He has a rich family background and is unruly. However, he can easily obtain resources that the villains cannot get.
Lu Pan is jealous of him and has done many things in secret.
At first, Lu Pan wanted to use the heroine to deal with the hero, but later he was attracted to the heroine and became more jealous of the hero. In the end, the hero tore off his disguise and ruined his reputation.
The heroine is a kind and generous girl. She is also grateful for the care of Lu Pan's mother when she was a child. She hopes that the hero will give Lu Pan a chance to reform.
She believes that Lu Pan's distortion comes from childhood trauma. He has experienced too many hardships after his parents died.
When reading the book, Lin Shu refused to whitewash the villain. Now that she has become the villain's mother, she feels that the story has not happened yet and the child can still be saved!
According to the heroine's memory, the tragedy of the Lu family began with the death of Lu Shaotang and the original owner.
After the death of the original owner, the two children did not believe that their mother was dead. The grandfather told a story that people go west when they die. They think their mother may go to find their father, so they carry dry food in a small bag and go west to find their parents.
As a result, Lu Pan was abducted, and Lu Tian fell into a deep ditch and was scared silly.
Lin Shu: I can't bear to see my child suffer like this! ! !
