After parting with Chen's mother, Su Xia took Dabao back to her home.
First I found the shoulder bag I always carried when I went to the county town. It was OK, a little shabby, but that didn't look bad.
But I still washed it clean and dried it in the sun, and it was almost dry by the evening.
Su Xia put Dabao on a cool mat under the eaves and let him play by himself. She also brought him rattles and dolls and let him grab them at will, which could also help him exercise his hand muscles.
Susie took the basket and picked the ripe vegetables, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, beans, etc.
By the time the two baskets were full, my uncle had already squinted. How could this be possible?
When Su Xia went up to her, she rubbed her face, turned her body over, and pinched her hands and feet.
Then, it was Dabao who started crying “Ahhh…” at the top of his lungs. I couldn’t pick him up, so I went to the chicken coop and pigpen to show him the chicks and pigs to divert his attention.
By the time I succeeded and started pointing my finger "ahh..." here and there, it was already 꾉 minutes later.
Su Xia would always satisfy him. Even though she was tired and her arms hurt from holding him, she still insisted on walking around following his curious eyes.
Finally, holding a flower in his hand, he quietly followed Su Xia back home.
Put him in the high chair and give him some water.
Su Xia just started to prepare dinner. This chair was made by Su Xia herself based on the baby dining chair she had seen later.
늀 is to raise the height of an ordinary chair and put a baffle in front to use as a small dining table.
As for the legs, hollow out two holes.
A bowl of noodles had been distributed before, with corn flour and white flour in a ratio of 2:1. Su Xia was preparing to make a famous Northeastern dish - iron pot stew.
For the ribs that have been soaked in water, first fry the sugar color, then put the ribs in, add salt, soy sauce, a little dark soy sauce for coloring, scallions, ginger, star anise, stir-fry for a few times, then add water, put in the beans, and steam the buns on top.
Simmer slowly over medium heat. As for the vegetables, add a smashed cucumber and give Niu Niu a persimmon mixed with sugar.
After everything is done, the pot has been boiling for a while, so there is no need to add more fire. Let it simmer for a while, it will taste better this way.
Su Xia was strolling back and forth in the front yard with Dabao in her arms. The three geese saw their owner coming.
He kept saying "gee, gee...", which made Dabao very excited. He kept jumping forward, reaching forward with his little hands, and saying "ah ah..." from his mouth.
Su Xia could only hold on with some strength: "How can you be so brave, you want to grab everything!"
Dabao ignored it and started to get excited when he saw the big goose.
There was no other choice but to put him on the bed and let him stand while she supported him to walk. Phew...this is much better.
Just at this time, Daya, Niu Niu, Erya and several other little girls came in from the gate.
"Aunt, we cut some extra grass for the pigs and put it in the pot for you."
"Okay, thank you, auntie. Come here someday and I'll make you something delicious."
Several little girls jumped for joy!
Niu Niu kissed her brother first, and this time, seeing Su Xia caring about her sisters, she walked straight to Su Xia, hugged her thighs and started rubbing against her.
Oh...
Su Xia pushed him aside in disdain. "What are you doing? It's so dirty. Why don't you go wash it? It's time for dinner."
Niu Niu was happy then, because her mother was still her mother, no - she also had her younger brother's mother.
Erya and other little girls looked at Niu Niu with envy. Their aunt was the mother that all the children in the village wanted. She was pretty, could cook, was the best to the children, didn't let them work, and bought them delicious food and clothes.
After Daya came back, she took her sister and the remaining pig grass back to the old house.
Su Xia also went back to eat, but what she didn't know was that Xia Lai Di saw Daya delivering pig feed to Su Xia.
Xia Lai Di was scolded by Chen's mother at noon. Feeling unhappy, she took advantage of the situation and scolded Daya.
"You silly girl, you have so much work to do at home, but you don't do it for others. Why don't you just go and work for them and see if they want you.
Don’t you look at what kind of person you are? Starting tomorrow you can’t go anywhere. Just stay at home and wash your clothes and clean the house. ”
Daya's tears fell one by one like beads. She didn't dare to cry loudly, because her mother would scold her even more.
"Cry cry...
Why are you crying? Why don’t you come and cook? I was cooking when you were 8 years old. Look at you, you don’t know how to do anything. What are you going to eat? ”
Liu Chunxia standing by looked on speechlessly. The second sister-in-law was getting angry at Daya, and it seemed like she was going to be scolded again.
Just at this time, Su Xia, who was delivering a schoolbag to Chen's mother, heard it.
She couldn't help it and went straight to the kitchen, where she saw Xia Lai Di sitting on a stool to rest, while Daya was working while crying silently.
Su Xia felt a little distressed to see the little person washing and cutting vegetables.
Xia Lai Di, who wanted to continue cursing, didn't dare to say a word when she saw Su Xia coming in. She just held up her slightly bulging belly and looked at Su Xia from time to time with a boastful look in her eyes.
Su Xia snorted and laughed: "What do you mean by second brother's wife? Why did the girls from Daya send me some pig food? What's wrong with you?"
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? My daughter and I are not close, so of course you are happy when I send something to you, my aunt?"
Xia Lai Di retorted silently. She was scolded by Chen's mother, and she was pregnant, so she couldn't hold back her anger and scolded Daya. Unfortunately, her sister-in-law heard it.
Just hear it, she thinks she is pregnant and is sure Su Xia won't do anything to her.
But Liu Chunxia didn't dare to hold out hope for Su Xia, so she could only quietly ask Daya to go and get Chen's mother, who was busy in the backyard, to come over, because the three grown men in the family hadn't returned from work yet.
Su Xia looked at Xia Lai Di who was unconvinced. How could she think that she would not do anything to her just because she was pregnant? Did she really think that she, Su Xia, was Hello Kitty?
"Hmph... Second sister-in-law is now trying to act as a mother, why didn't I see you pay more attention to the first, third and fourth daughters?
I remember that Daya took care of the two little ones and washed their clothes and pants. So, may I ask what you, as their mother, did?
oh....
You stole their New Year's money and food. You even snatched away the candies I gave them and ate them.
What? Are you so greedy? You keep snatching things to eat. Why don’t you go to my place? ”
Xia Lai Di....
She was so angry that she stood up and said, "What's wrong? I'm their mother, they should respect me. What are these little girls eating? Why not give them to the son in my belly?"
Su Xia was so angry that she laughed when she heard what she said.
"You mean, they have to give everything to the son in your belly, what about when he grows up?"
Xia Lai Di raised her chin and looked at Su Xia with contempt, "Of course, when they grow up, I will exchange them for gifts and marry my son off. Isn't that normal?
I don’t believe that my sister-in-law would treat Niu Niu like this. ”
Su Xia narrowed her eyes and looked at the arrogant man in front of her. If she wasn't pregnant, she really wanted to beat him up.
But I heard the sound of people walking behind me.
"Second sister-in-law, when your unborn son goes to school, will he still be able to earn work points? How will he live without work points?"
Xia Laidi had lost herself when she heard her mother calling her son over and over again, and she gently stroked the baby in her belly.
"How can my son possibly work? It would be best if he could be a worker. If that doesn't work out, he can just stay at home.
Then there are Daya's sisters, who take care of their younger brother, take care of his food and drink, and also have to find a wife for his younger brother and raise children...
Otherwise, what's the point of having them? ”
Su Xia....
If you pay attention to such a stupid person, you will look like a fool.
"snort....
Mr. Er's family, you want to humiliate the people of my Chen family, who gave you the courage? ”
......
