Parents are busy farming

As soon as she walked outside, she saw Old Man Liu parking his donkey cart at the door of his house, and she hurried over.

"Grandpa Liu, I haven't seen you for several days!" Ye Zifen said hello first.

"Fifth girl, a government official from the county came to deliver a message, saying that your sister is going to give birth. Please let me deliver a message to you!" Old Man Liu said quickly.

"Hey! I'm about to give birth, it's only two days away! Come on, Grandpa Liu, I won't tell you anymore, I have to tell my mother quickly."

After Ye Zifen finished speaking, she hurried to the backyard. Before she reached the backyard, she shouted loudly: "Uncle Li, Uncle Li, hurry up and hitch the donkey cart, we have to rush to the county seat."

Lao Li came out of the house with just one sleeve on his torn cotton-padded jacket.

"Miss Fifth, what's wrong?" Lao Li came out of the room and asked.

"My eldest sister is about to give birth. Hurry up and hitch the donkey cart. I'll get the things right away." After saying that, Ye Zifen ran to the front yard again.

As soon as I returned to the front yard, I saw Wang Tinghe standing at the door of the house, "What did you yell just now?"

"My sister is about to give birth. Mom, hurry into the house and pack your things."

When Wang Tinghe heard this, she quickly packed her things. This was her eldest daughter's first birth and she couldn't let anything go wrong. She had to guard her.

Ye Zifen also returned to his room, took out the old ginseng, and put it in his sleeve pocket, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Then he took a few more taels of silver and put them into his pocket.

Ye Yefei also heard the news and chased her in and asked, "Sister is about to give birth?"

"Yes! Are you going? If you go, change your clothes quickly."

There were some obvious dirt on the third sister's clothes, probably from the paste she rubbed on the soles of her shoes.

Ye Zifei looked down, curled her lips, and quickly went back to her room to change clothes.

By the time the three of them had changed their clothes and picked up their belongings, Lao Li had already removed the threshold and led the donkey cart out.

After Ye Zifen helped her mother into the car, she sat on the shaft. She was still driving the car today.

The third sister jumped onto the other side of the carriage without having to help herself.

"Xiaowu, why don't you go!" Wang Tinghe said suddenly.

"Don't worry if I don't go!" She replied casually without paying attention.

Ye Zifen flicked his whip, and the little donkey started running.

"Mom, it's cool if you sit with your back to me." Ye Zifen saw her mother sneezing after the donkey cart started moving.

After hearing this, Wang Tinghe adjusted his sitting posture and put the quilt on his legs.

‘It’s hard to go out in the winter, but this girl likes to go out very much. ’

Zi Zifen rushed into the county town before the city gate closed and entered her sister's house. Mother Liu saw them and shouted, "My wife, you are here!"

Just then, I heard the sound of a baby crying from the ear room of my sister's room.

"It's time to give birth. Madam, please come in quickly." Liu's mother led them into her sister's room.

I saw Mrs. Zhang Yu walking around in her sister's room, waiting for the child to be taken out!

Seeing them coming in, Mrs. Zhang Yu said happily: "My mother-in-law, you are destined to be our child. As soon as you walked in, he couldn't wait to come out and meet grandma!"

Wherever he still had the cold and serious expression before, the wrinkles on his face were much deeper.

The third sister was dumbfounded. Is this the picky old lady who came to see her sister before she got married?

"The little guy was afraid that grandma would be anxious if she waited too long, so she hurriedly came out to give you a gift!"

You can't take it for granted when people flatter you, right? Everyone is better off if you reciprocate courtesy.

"Congratulations, Madam, gave birth to a little boy." The door curtain of the back room was opened, and Mrs. Wen came out holding the child.

At this time, the door of the room was opened again, and it was Zhang Huaiyu who came back.

"It's a coincidence that my brother-in-law is back. Come and see, he's a man!" Ye Zifen said to Zhang Huaiyu.

When Zhang Huaiyu heard that his wife had given birth to a son for him, he was a bit like him, but he didn't look like an official.

With tears in her eyes, Zhang Yu held the child in her arms and wanted to hand it to Zhang Huaiyu.

Ye Zifen was still afraid that the coldness from Zhang Huaiyu's body would be transmitted to the little guy, so she said with a smile, "My dear grandma, I need to trouble you to take care of your grandson. We people just came in and are cold, so don't hug the little guy now." .”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang Yu quickly hugged the child in her arms.

Zhang Huaiyu also quickly retracted his hand.

"Go to my room quickly and change your clothes, then come over and hold the child." Mrs. Zhang Yu said to Zhang Huaiyu.

Zhang Huaiyu said "Hey" and looked at the baby in his mother's arms without blinking.

After Wang Tinghe heard that the baby was a boy, his heart finally dropped into his stomach. From now on, the eldest daughter would be able to stand up straighter in this family.

Hearing Ye Zifen say that she felt cold, she stopped going into the house to see her daughter. Women are most afraid of getting cold when giving birth, so they should stay here for a while and wait for the coldness to dissipate before going in to see their daughter!

After the midwife handed the baby to someone outside, she went in to tidy up the mattress.

Seeing the tired Zixuan, she comforted her and said, "Your mother and sisters are here. If you are tired, just take a nap and I will change the bedding under you."

When Zhi Xuan heard that her mother and the others were coming, she said with relief, "Thank you for your hard work!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

After Po Wen finished cleaning the penthouse, she walked out with a smile.

"It's packed inside, and my wife has fallen asleep."

Ye Zifen stepped forward and handed Po Wen two taels of silver. This was the custom.

Mrs. Zhang Yu also handed over five taels of silver to Po Wen: "I'm still bothering you for the third time!"

The midwife looked at the money in her hand and smiled from ear to ear. "I will definitely come when the time comes. You are all experienced people. I won't be too nagging. I will go back right away."

After sending Wen Po away, Zhang Huaiyu handed the child to Wang Tinghe. Wang Tinghe looked at his grandson and couldn't get enough of it, with a smile on his face.

"Let's go! Go in and see your sister." Ye Zifen suggested.

Zhang Huaiyu couldn't wait any longer, so he opened the door and went in. Everyone looked at each other and smiled from behind.

When Wang Tinghe and her daughter walked in, in addition to smelling a bit of blood in the air, they saw the eldest sister's sleeping face with a smile and Zhang Huaiyu holding her hand.

Wang Tinghe put the child in his arms next to Zixuan, touched his daughter's face, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

After watching for a while, Ye Zifen went to the kitchen and started to help Liu's mother cook.

There are so many people, and only mother Liu is busy. How long will she be busy!

When Ye Zifen came to the kitchen, she saw Liu's mother preparing her sister's confinement meal.

"Just in time, mom, prepare food for sister, and I'll prepare food for us. Just tell me what to cook." Ye Zifen rolled up her sleeves and went to wash her hands.

"Forgive me, Fifth Miss. I'm really busy scratching my heels, so I won't be polite to you."

Mrs. Liu was making confinement meals while talking to Ye Zifen.

"Yesterday, the master brought back two roast chickens, and one is frozen outside. Just steam it in the pot later."

Ye Zifen listened, nodded, took in the roast chicken and put it on the plate.

"Let's make hot and sour potato shreds and vinegar cabbage! That's all we eat in the winter here."

While Mother Liu was talking, Ye Zifen took out the potatoes and peeled them. After peeling them, she washed them in water, put them on the cutting board and cut them. After cutting, she soaked them in water for later use.

Take out another cabbage, cut it in half horizontally, leaving only the cabbage end, and put the half with leaves aside.

Cut the cabbage vertically into shreds and put it on a plate for later use.

I found another green onion, peeled off the dry outer skin, and cut it diagonally into shreds.

Seeing that there were still radishes, I cut another half of a radish and planned to make radish soup.

The hot and sour potato shreds are easy to get angry, while the radish soup relieves the heat. The two are a perfect combination!
