Chapter 43
Miao Miao went out obediently, Xu Cao poured all the fried oil into the oil jar, and was busy washing and sautéing the cabbage in the corner, and there were a few pieces in it that were just fried out. Oil shuttle. Then spread out a few thin noodles, ready to eat rolls in the evening.
There are still some green vegetables at home. Xu Cao only pinched the tenderest part, fried a few eggs, served with oily shuttle and pickled mustard mustard at home, and finally put these side dishes into thin white flour pancakes and rolled them up. . Fearing that Miaomiao was hungry, she first gave a Miaomiao to eat. Miaomiao said it was delicious and was satisfied with the food.
Finally, half of the pork belly that she bought was braised, and the remaining half was marinated with coarse salt.
At about Youshi, Fugui came back carrying a niuzi, followed by Sunspot.
"Fugui, come back, hurry into the house and eat."
Fugui threw the noodles on his shoulders into the yard, and smiled at Xu Cao, "Yes, my wife."
Xu Cao smiled and saw that the rabbit in the yard were still Alive, pleasantly surprised: "Why the rabbit are still alive." It seemed that it had suffered a little injury on his leg.
Fugui washed his hands and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a cloth towel before he smiled: "It's hot, and the prey is better alive. Tomorrow you will take this rabbit to the town to sell, and I will continue hunting. "
"Sure, then let's eat quickly."
Fugui appetite is very good. He drank two bowls of big bone soup and ate a few rolls. He was not willing to eat the braised pork, so he always gave it to Xu Cao and Miao Miao. Xu Cao prefers to drink big bone soup, "You can eat more Miao Miao and I can't eat much."
Miao Miao ate a roll cake before dinner and was almost full, and drank a half bowl of big bone soup. After eating two pieces of braised pork, her chubby belly said she couldn't eat it anymore.
After dinner, Xu Cao was busy watering a few grapes. This grape was directly inserted into the stem. Three of them survived. They were transplanted to the corner of the front yard by Xu Cao. She looked at the grape leaves that began to climb the vines. Xu Cao turned her head and rushed towards Fugui: "Fugui, we will build a grape rack in a few days, and we will have grapes to eat in the next two or three years."
Xu Cao has a faint plan for the future life, but there are very few fruits in this place, and She have never seen the wild fruits she is familiar with in the mountains. Just get some fruit seeds or seedlings so that they can be planted vigorously in the village.
Fugui washed the dishes and squatted beside Xu Cao to look at the good-growing grape seedlings, "Wife, what do you plant this thing? There are many in the mountains. If you want to eat it, I can just pick it for you."
If the wild grapes in the mountains have just begun to bear fruit, they will have to wait until August to mature.
"After planting this, we can take it to town and sell it..." Xu Cao said with a smile, "Yes, Fugui, if you see some wild fruit in the mountains in the future, can you help me pick some back." Maybe he can also encounter varieties that she is familiar with, and you can try to plant them when that time comes.
"Sure." Fugui grinned.
The two were talking, and the voices of Brother Jun and Shen's second sister in law rang outside the door, and Xu Cao hurriedly got up to welcome them in.
As she was talking, a small head with a tiger's head came out of the gate, and at first glance, it was Feng Shitou from the village. "Ah, why did you come here with Shitou? Come in and sit down." Since the last time the road was blocked by the heavy snow, the two families had been familiar with and they often moved around.
The Shen led Jun brother into the yard, and said hello to Xu Cao and Fugui: "Sister-in-law, I don’t know you are busy in the field a few days ago. The guy is always clamoring to come to Miaomiao to play."
Xu Cao picked up Junjun and said with a smile: "I have been busy with those potatoes these days, oh, the little guy has gained weight again these days. After a while, I won’t be able to hold him anymore.” As she said, Miao Miao, who was sitting on Xiao Xiaozi, said: “Miao Miao will go and get the cakes that my mother bought today, so you can eat with brother.”
Miao Miao's food is very good now, so naturally she doesn't care about this food anymore, and happily went into the pastry in the house.
Brother Jun heard that there was cakes to eat, and when he called out, he began to twist in Xu Cao's arms, and Xu Cao quickly put him down. Brother Jun staggered and ran in with Miao Miao.
When the two women talked, Fugui' couldn't put his mouths in. He went out to find some bamboo poles and began to set up a grape stand.
It was getting dark, and she couldn't see anything clearly, Xu Cao moved out the stool and chatted with Shen, while paying attention not to let the two little children run out.
Shitou touched his head, smiled shyly, then walked into the yard and handed a bamboo basket in his hand to Xu Cao, "Auntie, these are the fish and loach my father caught, let me give you some ."
Xu Cao took a look. There was a half basket of loach with a few carps mixed in it. She was so happy that she grinned, "Ah, so many."
Shitou said hurriedly: "my father also caught a lot to eat, and aunt should never returned to me, or else when I go back , my father certainly beat me."
"Come, I'll accept it, said thank you for your Dad "Xu Cao is not polite to sithou. This loach is a good thing, but there are not many people who can catch it. She hasn't eaten it for almost fifteen years since she came here.
Miao Miao tilted her head and looked at Shitou, thinking for a while, then grabbed two cakes from the pastry box with her chubby hands, walked to Shitou and stopped, "Brother Shitou, here..for you..."
Shitou was a little cramped. , Stammered: "No, no...Sister Miao Miao, you can eat it."
Miao Miao stubbornly held two cakes, "Brother Shitou, eat."
Xu Cao smiled with Shen on the side. When she got up, Xu Cao said hurriedly, "Shitou, you can eat it soon."
shitou then took the cakes uncomfortably, and thank Miao Miao and Xu Cao .
After Shitou was gone, Xu Cao said in general: "This Shitou is really good and polite."
"No, it's just that the family is a little poor, otherwise I would pair him and Miao Miao it would be pretty good." Shen also feels novel.
"Second sister, what are you talking about? Miao Miao is still such a small child. It must be impossible. In the future, Miao Miao's marriage must be chosen by herself. I don't want to make a marriage agreement for her casually."
Although she also thinks Shitou is a good kid, but Miao Miao's opinion must be sought. Moreover, it is too early to think about these things.
The two chatted for a while again. Xu Cao remembered the third sister in law who hadn’t seen each other for a few months, and couldn’t help asking: “Second sister, how is the third sister now, will she have a baby in one month?”
Shen nod and said "is not a big stomach but a round , Mother looked at her and her face does not look good."
"why?"
B "Everybody says that big round belly is the daughter chant, and Third sister in law can eat several meals a day, and she also love to eat meat. People are getting a lot fatter, so mother is naturally unhappy."
Xu Cao silently, "Second sister, if you have time, talk to your third sister and let her control her appetite. It’s not about eating more vegetables and less meat. I have heard people say that if there are too many babies, women will suffer great sins. The babies are too big and it is difficult to give birth. Then it will be difficult to handle."
There is no Caesarean birth in this era. A woman suffers from giving birth to a child. If the fetus is too large to give birth, it will kill two lives. If she becomes pregnant in the future, she will definitely pay attention to eating.
"Really?" Shen's eyes widened, obviously frightened, " mother didn't let me eat more at that time, so Junjun was born thin and small, but he was born easily. I can listen to the village. The people here said that there was a pregnant woman in the next village with a fetus that was too big. As a result, she couldn’t give birth. In the end, she bleeds and kills her body. It’s terrible. Is it because the pregnant woman eats too much and the fetus is too big?
" Of course.”
The two chatted for a while, until the sky was completely dark, and then Shen left with Brother Jun.
Shen went to Niu as soon as he went back, and told Niu the fact that the fetus in the next village was too big to give birth, and finally hemorrhages then a dead body and two lives gone. Finally, she said: "Third sister sisters, I heard that It’s all because the pregnant woman ate too much, and the fetus was too big to give birth. You should pay attention to it in the future. You are only two months away from giving birth."
Niu was a little worried. She felt that Shen was cursing her, her face was very ugly, and angrily said: "Second sister-in-law, what are you talking about, don't you curse me?"
"Who cursed you, I kindly told you, if you don't believe tomorrow, you can find out by yourself and see if there is such a thing!" Shen said, and went out angrily.
Niu was a little nervous, and it would be good to decide to go out tomorrow to find out.
Naturally Xu Cao wouldn't know these things. Anyway, she reminded her that if Niu didn't listen, it would be her own suffering.
After finding a wooden pot to raise the loach, Xu Cao went to sleep. Without Miao Miao's interruption at night, Fugui began to feel restless again. Xu Cao forgot to count the days, but she didn't allow him to touch it. Now it's dangerous. She doesn't want to be pregnant at the age of fifteen. The loss to the body of having a baby this early is huge.
Her body is well recuperated, and she has been very accurate since her menstruation. A period of 30 days is a period of 30 days. The contraceptive method that counts as days works, anyway, she hasn't gotten pregnant in the past few months after having sex.
Although Fugui was uncomfortable, he never forced her. He also knew that his wife would not let him touch her for a few days a month.
The two would whisper, and then they fell asleep.
The next day Fugui went hunting, Xu Cao let Er Ya San Ya take care of Miao Miao, and then she took the rabbit to the town. One rabbit sold for two hundred and forty cents. She didn't have much to buy, so she came back directly. When she came back, she bought two pieces of tofu in the village, and prepared to cook crucian carp stewed tofu and loach with cucumber at night.
There were a lot of loach, and Xu Cao sent a portion of the cooked loach to her family, and let Fugui add a large pot to Father Yang and the others. Fugui also asked Xu Cao if he could secretly gave a hundred pennies to Father Yang. On weekdays, the money is in the care of Chen mother, and father Yang doesn't even have money for a cigarette leaf or a small wine.
Father Yang didn't want the money, after all, he already felt ashamed of the old family when he was separated.
"Father, just accept it. You also know that I and my wife are living well now."
Father Yang accepted the money.
A few days later, the pigpen at her natal family was also built, and Xu Cao sent the two little pigs over. When she was fine on weekdays, she always followed Er Ya San Ya to take Xiaoshan and Miao Miao to the hill to chop the hogweed, occasionally to see her potatoes, hoe the potato fields, fertilize them, and then water some water.
The days passed very quickly, and it was a month later in a blink of an eye.
On this day, when Xu Cao returned from cutting the pig grass, Shen hurried over, "Sister-in-law, hurry up, the third sister is about to give birth."
Xu Cao followed Shen . As soon as she left, she heard the pain of Niu Call
