There are so many vegetables that you can't eat them all at home. Lan Yi picked some every few days and let the donkey carry them into the city, and by the way, she went to the grocery store to add a few dowries to her heart's content. Zheng Shituo came back to bring a message to the sixth son of the Xia family who reported the good news, saying that she came over in mid-May to help her daughter prepare a dowry and a ceremony, and now she should be ready to set off from Meixian, along with the Wenxuan third birthday gift prepared by Mrs. Zhou. After Lan Yi went to Meixian, he also figured out that Wenxuan's real birthday was May 20, not the day Lan Yi met him, and now he naturally changed back to his real birthday.

The big red fruit was ripe, Lan Yi rolled the noodles and made the big red fruit egg noodles, the whole family liked it, and even Jia's ate an extra bowl. Lan Yi felt that the big red fruits grown now tasted much better than those grown in the greenhouse in winter, and sure enough, the seasonal fruits and vegetables were the best.

The big red fruit grown by several families in the village can also be eaten, after all, this thing is a fresh fruit and vegetable, and the taste is good, and everyone likes it very much. Although the price is cheaper than at the end of last year, it is also sold for 30 wen a catty, this coke is bad for everyone, and the big red fruit is guarded as a treasure every day, except for the ones left for the children to eat, the rest are carefully picked and sold to the city, making a lot of money.

Among these people, the happiest are Cheng Xiaoqi and the fat man of Beigou Village. Cheng Xiaoqi doesn't need to say much, his thirty acres of big red fruits only returned to the capital in two days, and now he earns money every day.

When Zhao Zhongxuan's follower gangster fat man could transplant the big red fruit seedlings in Lan Yi's house, he cheekily got back fifty of them, which was the most planted in the whole village except Lan Yi. Now that the big red fruit can be sold at such a price, the fat man's grandmother is so happy that she can't keep her mouth shut all day long. Straight to say that the grandson has the ability. The fat man has been a lazy man since he was a child, where has he been praised like this, and now he has changed from his laziness in the past. Every day, I guarded the big red fruit in the vegetable garden and took the worms, and when I came back from selling the money, I handed it over to my grandmother to collect. For the first time, he tasted the happiness and sense of accomplishment of making money, and he was very grateful to Lan Yi, and now he has basically changed from Zhao Zhongxuan's follower to Lan Yi's follower, except for being in the vegetable garden, that is, going to the door of Lan Yi's house and walking around the hillside, just thinking about helping Lan Yi. Even the dozens of big red fruits that Lan Yi planted on the hillside behind the house. He was also responsible for taking insects and preventing thieves, which made Lan Yi cry and laugh, and Zhou Weiji's face turned dark. But. The fat man is not afraid of Zhou Weiji's black face, and he goes to Zhou Weiji's hillside every day to clock in and go to work, and he is very diligent.

After entering mid-May, Liu is about to give birth. The second aunt Li moved directly to Wang Linyuan's house to take care of her. Help bring the second girl. Wang Linyuan also tried not to go to Shang Ji and took care of his wife at home.

Jia went to check her pulse every day, and came back to tell Lan Yi that Liu's baby was a baby girl.

Since Jia is willing to speak, he is sure. They all knew that the Liu family wanted a boy, so the Jia family didn't say anything to the Liu family, the Li family and the others, and just waited for the child to land, after all, there was still hope, right?

"Fortunately, your second uncle's life is going on, otherwise this child is afraid that he will drown." Jia sighed.

Lan Yi knew that although the people in the village were particular about having both children and daughters. But there are not as many daughters as sons, usually only one or two. After giving birth to a daughter, she drowned or was buried. Although the Great Zhou Law has a provision for drowning children and grandchildren for two years, it is also unsupervised, and it is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law because there are few girls and many widowers among the people.

However, she did not agree with Jia's words, "It is possible for others." Aunt Yao, even if the second uncle's family is having a hard time, this child will be hurt when he is born. Not to mention the second uncle and second aunt, the attitude of the third brother and sister towards the second girl, you can also see it, how can you drown because she is a girl again. Aunt Yao, the third brother and sister, I have to bother you to make a few more trips. ”

Jia nodded. In this era when there is no family planning and reasonable contraception, the only way to use guò decoction or counting daily contraception is to prevent pregnancy. From the time a woman is married at the age of fifteen, pregnancy is possible between the age of thirty-five. Giving birth to a child is a mother's ghost, and Lan Yi has heard about one corpse and two lives a few times, and she doesn't want such a tragedy to happen to the people around her.

Because of the dangers of having a baby, there are many birthing customs here, most of which reflect people's wishes for pregnant women and babies.

On the first day of the fifth month, Liu's mother's family sent a birth gift. The birth ceremony is mainly to share food such as steamed buns and duck eggs. The pain-sharing steamed buns are packed in a colored pot, and there are five men and two women, sleeping sheep, lying deer and other colorful paintings. One hundred and twenty duck eggs are required, as well as other meals, such as sheep, dates, rice, etc., in the hope that the mother will have a smooth birth, have more children, and have both men and women.

During this time, Liu's whole person gained weight again, and he circled around the yard with a big belly every day, because Jia said that it was easy to produce.

When Lan Yi looked at her with Wen Xuan's longevity face, she was being held around by the Li family. Seeing Lan Yi coming, Liu hurriedly greeted: "Sister-in-law, why did you come over on such a hot day?" ”

Lan Yi put the basket on the stone table and helped her sit down before saying, "Today's Wenxuan is over, I'll send you some noodles." Can you taste the big red fruit we planted this year, can you still eat it? ”

Li smiled: "There are also kinds of ones at home, and the taste is naturally good." How good it is for you to keep and sell it, we can eat it or not. Li also followed Lan Yi to win twenty or thirty big red fruits, although the family is rich now, but she is still that thrifty character, since the big red fruits are about to catch up with the price of good meat, naturally they have to pick them and sell them for money, except for the three children to eat one or two to satisfy their hunger, they are reluctant to let go of cooking.

Lan Yi ate openly, "Second aunt, don't we have to eat it by ourselves first after we grow something?" Hehe, I really like the smell too. ”

Liu Shi picked up and ate half a bowl, looking at the remaining half bowl with unfinished eyes, but Jia Shi said that she couldn't eat more, and she could only endure it, "Sister-in-law, this big red fruit is delicious." This year, my body is inconvenient, and my mother-in-law has to take care of me, you see the big red fruit in the yard, but it is not as good as the sister-in-law's yard. ”

Lan Yi smiled, "I serve every morning and evening, which is no worse than taking care of children, so that I can get a few more." I'll send you a few more in two days, and you'll only have a few days to go, so be careful. ”

"Aunt Jia said that this child is big, and I haven't eaten much for more than a month, so I'm afraid that I will have to work hard. I'm not in a hurry, how can I catch up with my sister-in-law to get married after confinement. We're going to have a good time. Go for a walk around town. "Liu's detained people have been a little hairy these days, and they have been thinking about going out for a long time.

Lan Yi heard her say this, and remembered her unfinished wedding dress. Most days are also at home, the whole body is sore, and the work of the embroidery girl is not easy to do. Fortunately, it is the season of acacia flowers, and sitting under the tree is also fragrant and comfortable.

"Sister-in-law, there is silver here. There are also a lot of worries. A few days ago, my mother came over and said that the third brother was going to marry a daughter-in-law, and there was no money at home, so she wanted to take twenty taels from me. Open your mouth is twenty taels! When I got married, the dowry was less than five taels of silver! Liu said indignantly. Those in the village who are still passable on weekdays, seeing that we have silver, either come to borrow it, or fight our peony flower idea. Now someone actually comes to the door and wants to give the second girl a doll kiss! This is a human thing! If it weren't for my heavy body. I have to learn from your sister-in-law, and slap them a few times, so that they know that we are not the ones who can be taken advantage of! ”

Lan Yi frowned when she heard this, she also knew some of these things, but fortunately, she didn't have much contact with people on weekdays, and she had a reputation for being pungent, so these people didn't dare to come to her door.

"Sister-in-law, the cool skin sold by Zhou Laosan and Zhou Laosi is your idea again, right? You can't hide it from me. "Liu's eight women got up again. When the peonies bloom in April, the two of them set up stalls to sell cool skins. The big guys have seen it, a fifteen yuan, that taste is really good, and Liu also ate a few bowls.

Lan Yi nodded: "I just greedily pondered a few spices, the children love to eat them, and the two of them discussed going to set up a stall to sell some pocket money." I told you the doctrine of 'teach a man to fish,' and you must remember. Everyone is living well, we can really get better, we have to distinguish which people are worth helping and who are not worth helping. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Lin Yuan has told me many times, I have also collected the remaining silver from the paddy field at home, Lin Yuan will not move if he disagrees, and the husband and wife discuss the flowers." Liu grinned and stroked his sideburns with his hand, this action used to look very charming, but now the fat face and fat fingers are a little twisted, Lan Yi couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw it.

Zhou Weiji's two cousins, that is, Zhou Weikun and Zhou Weipeng, the two sons who made a fortune on Tuesday, sold the cool skin, not all of which are the credit of Lan Yi, a person who travels through the country.

Da Zhou already has cold skin, but the ingredients are a little worse. Lan Yi grinded the sesame sauce and made the bean sprouts to make the taste that she used to eat, and when Zhou Weipeng's wife Yang came over to play with Xiaohuazhi, she discussed with Lan Yi about setting up a stall to sell cold skin to make money, and Lan Yi also handed over the seasoning method to them.

Yang's is a quick-witted person, set up a stall next to the peony garden, put a table and stool and sold it for more than a month, not only rice skin and dough, but also millet, millet and mung bean skin have been made by them, and the ingredients are more in line with the taste of the Da Zhou people after the improvement of the ingredients, and the business is naturally very good.

After the peony flowers withered, there were few tourists in Qingshan Danyuan, and many people who set up stalls next to them withdrew, and so did the Yang family. But they weren't idle. A few days ago, Lan Yi went to the city and saw that they were selling cold skins on the street, and there were many people who ate them, but Yang said that there were more people who did cold skin trading than before, and they only sold for eight yuan a bowl. Both of them are diligent and fast people, although the eight dollars are a lot cheaper, but they can still make a hard-earned money, and the stalls are naturally still set up as usual.

Coincidentally, the day after Wenxuan's birthday, that is, on May 21, Liu gave birth to a baby girl of seven catties and five taels. When Lan Yi brought eggs, pig's trotters and crucian carp to look at it, the little three girls had not yet grown, they were red, and Li said that the three girls looked like her mother and were beautiful, and Lan Yi only nodded. She is a little scared now, having a child after getting married is really a good risk and high reward thing, invest carefully!

On May 24, Lan Yi's mother-in-law Zheng and eldest brother Chunrong arrived. The two of them actually brought three carriages of things, all of which were dowries for Lan Yi.

After Zheng got out of the car, he instructed Chunrong and the coachman to carry things, and large things such as children and grandchildren's buckets, dressers, small tables, embroidery frames, piano tables, etc., were piled up in the east wing, and the others were moved into the kang in Lan Yi's house.

Zheng Shi took her hand, and tears fell: "Tao'er, you are in such a hurry to get married, and your mother has no time to buy a lot of things, so she has to buy ready-made ones." You see, the four seasons of bedding are the best in our Mei County; These fabrics were given by the old lady; In this burden are the sheets and curtains that my mother hastened to embroider for you; This is the bed curtain of a hundred sons, and the mother found the best embroiderer and drove it out; These clothes will be changed for you to wear after you get married, we don't want to wear this plain white, black and blue clothes anymore, and I won't do it if I wear my peach old-fashioned. ”

Lan Yi listened to her chatter, tears also fell, hugged her and didn't let go, "It's good that my mother is here!" ”

Wang Chunrong finished moving the things in the car, sent the coachman to leave, and then went into the house to see that the three of them were in tears, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" Sister, don't you want to get married? Brother went to my brother-in-law to comment, and promised to wait for you to marry again after I got married, but I didn't expect to come back and kidnap you away! ”

Since Wang Chunrong knew that he could also get rid of slavery, his whole person was much brighter and more lively.

Lan Yi listened to his inconspicuous words, and her face couldn't help but turn red, Zhou Weiji was really anxious this time.

Jia Shi smiled: "Sister Yuqing also saw the house built by Wei Ji just now, right?" This is one of the best in our village, and he himself has taken out of shape in order to build a house, and this thought is the most rare. ”

Zheng nodded, she saw the tall blue brick and red tile house, and knew that her daughter would be able to live comfortably in the future, so she was naturally very happy.

"Sister Yao, you have been back for half a year, and your face looks much better. Tao'er is right, this Qingshan Lushui Farmhouse in Beigou Village is really a supporter. ”

Jia Shi smiled happily, took her hand and said, "Sister, I also came here to know that there is such a way to live, which is much more comfortable than being a maid and servant in the mansion." Tao'er treats me like an aunt, and she does all the dirty and tiring work by herself. ”

After Aunt Yao came back with her daughter, her daughter felt much more relaxed and didn't have to take care of both ends of the house. Since this month, Aunt Yao has stopped letting me do work and concentrate on embroidering the dowry. ”

Wang Chunrong saw them chatting and gossiping, and suddenly became bored, what he was most unaccustomed to was that these women met at home, and they didn't even enter the house and held hands and couldn't finish talking, but in front of his mother, he didn't dare to say anything, "Aunt Yao, mother, little sister, you sit first, I'll go to the second uncle's house, let's come over, sit together at night." And Mr. Nameless, I have to go over too, and the old lady has brought him a lot of things. ”

Mr. Nameless left Meixian, but it caused quite a stir in Meixian, but no one knew where Mr. had gone. Thinking of the scene where everyone speculated, Wang Chunrong couldn't help but be proud, who is Mr. Nameless? That's a contemporary master, such a person is willing to follow his sister to Beigou Village, and also accepted his sister as a female disciple, if this is known, he will definitely faint!
