Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 428 A near miss

"Okay, go ahead." Ji Wenhe turned and went into the kitchen. There was still some hot water in the pot, so he scooped out a few bowls.

Shen Anguo stayed in the house with the children and Amelia Su.

Li Chunhong and Miao Zhaodi were sitting at the kitchen door.

"Aunt Miao, Aunt Li, come and have some water."

Lan Qiuhua came out of the house, carrying a stool and sat next to the two of them: "Wen He, come, you sit down too. I'm really sorry to bother you tonight."

"No trouble." Miao Zhaodi took a sip of tea, "As long as mother and daughter are safe."

There is moonlight tonight, and I can vaguely see three people around me. They are sweating anxiously in the house.

Lan Qiuhua breathed a sigh of relief: "Now that the child is born, I feel relieved."

Li Chunhong asked in a low voice: "The first child is a girl, let's have a grandson next."

She nodded: "Yes, of course, let her give birth to another grandson."

"What do you think, Xiaolian? After giving birth to this child, do you still want to have another son?"

"She herself said that if the first child is a girl, she would give birth to a boy. Then our family would only have one child. No matter what, she wanted a boy."

Miao Zhaodi said: "As long as she wants to have a baby, let her have it. Your family only has An Guo, and the lineage cannot be cut off here."

Ji Wenhe sat nearby and listened silently.

At this time, Shen Anguo came out of the house: "Mom, is there any hot water in the pot? Xiaoxi is thirsty."

"Yes, there's still a lot left in the pot. Come in and I'll bring it to you."

Lan Qiuhua stood up, filled two bowls of water and brought them into the house.

After talking for a while in the yard, Miao Zhaodi and Li Chunhong got up and went home.

Ji Wenhe also said hello and walked home alone.

After tossing and turning for most of the night, I finally got a good night's sleep.

I will go to town the day after tomorrow to deliver the goods.

He went into the house, lit the oil lamp, and waited for Shen Rongshan to come back.

Not long after, he heard some noise outside and quickly opened the door: "Brother Shen, you're back."

He responded and closed the door: "After so much trouble, are you tired?"

"I'm sleepy, very sleepy. If I hadn't been waiting for you to come back, I would have fallen asleep by now."

Shen Rongshan took the oil lamp to the table beside the bed and said, "Go to bed quickly. Sleep a little longer tomorrow and don't get up too early."

Ji Wenhe yawned, nodded, lay in his arms, and soon fell asleep.

I don’t know if it was because she was frightened by Su Xiaolian’s screams, but she had a dream at night. She dreamed that she was pregnant and had a difficult labor, and basins of blood were being carried out. She was so scared that she woke up immediately.

I turned around and looked outside the window. It was bright outside and the sun was shining brightly today.

Ji Wenhe patted his face and breathed a sigh of relief, luckily it was just a dream.

He lifted the quilt, got dressed, and went to the yard to wash.

Shen Rongshan got up early and is now busy in the pigpen, so the rice is left in the pot.

"Sister-in-law."

"Yeah, I'm eating."

Ding Hongye walked in: "I heard Xiaolian gave birth."

"Yes, a daughter was born. I worked until late last night. Have you eaten? There is still rice in the pot."

"I've eaten at home, so I thought about going to their house to take a look."

Ji Wenhe took a bite of the biscuit and said, "Then you can go there later. They probably went to bed very late yesterday, so they may not be awake yet."

"Okay, I'll go over there this afternoon. Sister-in-law, I'll go back first. You can eat slowly."

"Okay, go back."

She went to the town to get a purse and when she had nothing to do, she would embroider the purse at home.

After Ji Wenhe finished his meal, he washed the dishes, took a bamboo pole, and drove the geese and ducks out to release.

When I came back, I saw smoke coming out of Lan Qiuhua's chimney, probably because they had just woken up.

Li Yujiao came over from the north, holding the child in her arms: "Sister-in-law, I'm done."

"I don't have to finish my work. I have to go out every morning anyway. Are you going to Xiaolian's house?"

"Yes, I wanted to go and take a look. I just went to see their door and it was closed, so I didn't knock on it because I was afraid they were still asleep. Now I saw smoke coming out of their chimney, so I thought I should get up and take a look."

"Okay, go ahead and I'll drive them back to the pen."

Li Yujiao nodded: "Well, I'll go then."

When I walked back from the roadside, I saw Zhao Xiaoxi coming out of the yard: "Xiaoxi, do you want to go to Xiaolian's house?"

She nodded. "Yes."

"Yujiao just went there."

"I heard from my mother that it took a long time for Xiaolian to be born. I was scared when I heard that. I hope she won't torture me if she is thrown into my belly. I hope she can give birth smoothly, otherwise I will suffer with her."

"It took a long time." Ji Wenhe comforted, "Everyone's physique is different. Maybe yours will be born smoothly. Don't think too much."

"Wen He, I'll go see her."

"Okay, go ahead."

I went home, counted ten eggs and sent them over. Then I walked into the yard and heard several people talking in the house.

I glanced into the kitchen and saw Lan Qiuhua kneading dough: "Aunt Lan, haven't you had breakfast yet?"

She looked up and said with a smile, "I've eaten. I want to make some steamed buns with some noodles. They are in the house. Let's go in and talk to them."

"I'll bring some eggs over. Xiaolian needs to eat something good to nourish herself during her confinement period."

"Take it back. My chickens are laying eggs too."

Ji Wenhe took out the eggs and put them together with theirs: "Yours are yours, and what I gave is mine. It's a token of my love. She needs to be well taken care of. Given the relationship between our two families, please don't be polite to me."

Lan Qiuhua nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Auntie."

"What are you thanking me for? If there's not enough food at home, just tell me and I'll send some over."

"That's enough. Don't feed her every day. Just give her one every few days." She continued to knead the dough. "Are you going to town at the end of the month?"

"Go and deliver the goods."

"Okay, bring me half a pound of pork belly, and I'll give you the money when you come back."

"Okay, then Uncle Shen will wait until the baby's full moon celebration before coming back. Don't you need to tell him?"

Lan Qiuhua replied, "When An Guo came back last time, your uncle Shen had finished his work and wanted to change to another one. I don't know where he went. When we hold the full moon banquet, go to the town to buy meat and ask An Guo to ask."

"See where your Uncle Shen is and call him back, or see if anyone from Zhaojia Village has returned from town and ask someone to give him a message."

"That's fine, Aunt Lan. I'll go inside to see Xiaolian."

"Go ahead."

If a grandson is born, Shen Anguo must go to the town to find his father and tell him about the birth of a grandson.

Having a granddaughter and a grandson are different after all.

After chatting for a while at their home, Ji Wenhe returned home carrying a basket and saw Shen Rongshan drinking water in the kitchen.

"Brother Shen, are you done with the pigsty?"

"I'm done with my work, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, if you're done, just rest at home. Yuanshan and I will go to town tomorrow."

"Where's Hongye? She's not going with you."
