Ruan Niannian also participated in labor during this period, although she only picked peanuts, but the peanuts were all shriveled and sparse, not as plump as her family's farm in later generations.

Although it is already in the 70s, in her opinion, the production capacity of Dahe Village is not much better than that of ancient times. It depends entirely on farmyard manure, without many kinds of pesticides, and without mechanical assistance. stand up.

If there is no disaster, everyone can't eat enough, and they are barely starving to death. If there is a disaster, it is not uncommon for people to starve to death.

Wang Fengxia said a few words on her own, and found that Ruan Niannian was in a daze: "Sister and sister, what's wrong with you?"

Ruan Niannian came back to her senses and asked tentatively: "Sister-in-law, is there any other child named Huzi in the village?"

Wang Fengxia thought for a while and said: "It's gone. I haven't heard of anyone whose nickname is Huzi, but there are many people who are called Gouzi. I don't want to be called this, so I decided on Huzi. Your third brother also agreed."

"Neither of us has studied much, and our culture is low. I think you have studied a lot and are from the city. Give her a nice name."

When Wang Fengxia spoke, she had a satisfied smile on her face, and when she stared at her stomach, her eyes were loving. Ruan Niannian thought that she had already lost a child, if she lost another child, would she still be able to bear it when she was starving and cold?

Since she wore the book, among the sisters-in-law, she is the best with Wang Fengxia. It's not the child in the third sister-in-law's womb, you need to be more cautious.

Ruan Niannian thought about it and said: "Both parents have read books, so let them choose the name. I think Jiang Ran and the third brother's names are both good."

The ancestors of the Jiang family made their fortune selling tofu, and when they had money, they sent their children to private schools. Jiang Ran's father, Ruan Niannian's father-in-law also studied, and he wrote beautiful calligraphy.

Hearing what she said, Wang Fengxia thought for a while and smiled, "That's right. When Jiang Ming comes back, I'll ask him to talk to his father-in-law."

"By the way, brother and sister, are you here for business?" Wang Fengxia just cared about talking about the child, but thinking about it now, she was afraid of delaying Ruan Niannian's affairs.

Ruan Niannian looked at the rain outside: "The rain is still falling, and it doesn't seem to stop. What about the food in the field?"

"Pile them up and dry them in the sun when the weather is fine."

Ruan Niannian also saw how poor Dahe Village is now, there is no plastic sheet to cover the grain.

Sighing from the bottom of my heart: "Sister-in-law three, if the rain continues for a long time, what should I do? Is there still food to eat in winter?"

Wang Fengxia was taken aback, thought for a while and said: "Probably not, maybe it won't rain in a day or two. I think the rain today is less than yesterday."

Seeing her appearance, you can tell that she has never thought about what to do if it rains continuously.

"When I was young, I learned a little about the weather from my grandfather. The rain will last for at least half a month. I'm afraid that the food will be affected by then. The baby in the third sister-in-law's stomach is almost half a month old. Why don't you let the third brother find a way to get rid of it?" Buy more food."

Wang Fengxia was slightly taken aback, and stopped embroidering the shoes, looking at the rain outside, she murmured unconfidently: "It shouldn't be."

She didn't have much confidence when she said this. From Wang Fengxia's point of view, Ruan Niannian was prettier, more knowledgeable and knowledgeable than her, so she believed in Ruan Niannian to a certain extent more than she believed in herself.

But she didn't dare to think about what to do in case of disaster.

Ruan Niannian continued: "It's always right to store up some food. In case of a disaster, adults can save some, what about children?"

She said that Wang Fengxia's heart was broken. She looked at her stomach. Her baby was born in ten days or so, so she felt relieved to stock up some food.

Wang Fengxia said: "Sister-in-law, I understand. When your third brother comes home, I will tell her."

Xu Lan was not at home. Ruan Niannian told Wang Fengxia that she returned home not long after. Jiang Ran went home for lunch and went to the ground again.

The rain intensified again at night, Jiang Rantian was completely dark and couldn't see anything before going home, followed his wife's advice, took a hot bath, lay on the bed and hugged Ruan Niannian.

Listening to the sound of rain outside.

Ruan Niannian said in a low voice: "Jiang Ran, I think the rain stopped and I went to the city to buy some food. It's raining too hard, so I don't feel at ease."

Jiang Ran has been busy in the fields, and the ditches in the village have been filled with water, the rain is indeed abnormal.

Ruan Niannian thought that he disagreed, so he repeated what he said to Wang Fengxia, but changed some words, and leaned beside him and said, "We haven't taken any safety measures these days, just in case, I already have a child in my stomach What if we don’t have enough food in winter?”

Hearing this, Jiang Ran was taken aback for a moment, a fiery big palm suddenly landed on her flat belly, and said in a low voice, "Have you had a child?"

Ruan Niannian reached out and picked up his big palm: "I said just in case, just in case."

In the small courtyard, Ruan Niannian and Jiang Ran were discussing about buying grain, and in the side room of Jiang's family, Wang Fengxia was also talking about this with Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming was also exhausted after working in the fields all day, but he did not forget to talk to the baby in his stomach at this time.

"Little guy, do you miss your father?"

"Hey, why are you still kicking people..."

Wang Fengxia pushed Jiang Ming's head against her stomach: "I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"

Jiang Ming said: "I heard that, no matter how hard it is, we can't suffer the child. How much money do we have?"

Wang Fengxia got up and looked through it, took out a small rag bag, and poured out all the big and small money: "There are 30 yuan and seven cents."

There is also ten yuan in it, which was given by her parents and the Jiang family when she married into the Jiang family.

"Rice costs [-] cents a catty. If you need a ticket, our family has no ticket so we have to buy it secretly. At least it costs [-] cents."

Wang Fengxia also knew it, but she still said: "Buy it, buy it with peace of mind."

Jiang Ming didn't say anything after hearing the words: "I'll talk to Jiang Ran tomorrow."

The two families were discussing the purchase of grain at night, and Zhang Hui next door was exhausted from a day of farm work and her back was aching. When she was drowsy and about to go to bed, she was still envious of Ruan Niannian: "It's easiest for the fourth family to work if you want to do it." If you don’t want to work, you can stop doing it. It’s a good life. My life is hard. I followed you.”

Jiang's second child was also tired and hurt all over. He said in a bad temper, "You look like the fourth child if you are capable. You don't need to marry me. There are young men in the village who will help you with the work."

……

Ruan Niannian discussed with Jiang Ran, and he agreed to buy grain, but he didn't agree with Ruan Niannian going there.

"The road to the county is not good. It's raining and you can't go to many places. Don't worry about it. Wang Liu and I will sneak there."

Ruan Niannian wanted to say something else, but the man hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear——
