Lucky husband

Qian Xinghua didn't know that Mrs. Li had already made up her mind to leave her alone, and she was quietly slacking off in places she thought Mrs. Li couldn't see, such as watering and cooking, which Li Mingchun could do. Let her go, and she keeps her face in the room all day long.

Another half month passed, and the scabs formed on the wound on her face basically fell off. The newly grown flesh was redder than the skin in other places, and the color was uneven. There is still a small part of her eyebrow missing, which is much uglier than before she fell and hurt herself.

Seeing Li Mingchun, an eleven-year-old girl being turned around by Qian Xinghua, and becoming dark, thin and rough this summer, Mrs. Li couldn't stand it anymore, and pointed at Qian Xinghua's nose with a sigh of relief. scolded her.

Qian Xinghua finally restrained herself a bit, she still let Li Mingchun do the work of watering the vegetable fields, and she took over the work of the kitchen.

Although the kitchen is hot, there is no need to go out to meet people, and you can secretly hide a little rice and noodles while cooking. Whether you save it for dawn or save up and sell it, it looks good to Qian Xinghua .

It's easy to be lazy, hard to be diligent.

It's been such a long time since Qian Xinghua continued to do these tasks, she suddenly became flustered, the kitchen was hot and stuffy, and she drenched her clothes with sweat as soon as she entered, she felt that her face was not finished yet. The wound seemed to be open again.

After persisting for two days, Qian Xinghua once again had the idea of ​​avoiding laziness.

She didn't want to do these jobs, and she didn't dare to deliberately set a fire in the stove like last time. Finally, after she couldn't bear the sweltering heat of the stove, she decided to pretend to have a stomachache.

It's a day to pretend to be uncomfortable and hide for a day, just to get through the busy farming.

For the first time, Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows when she saw Qian Xinghua clutching her stomach and looking exhausted, but said nothing.

The second time, when Qian Xinghua said she was dizzy and couldn't stand up, Granny Li didn't even look at her.

For the third time, Mrs. Li poured out half of the rice in Qian Xinghua’s bowl at the dinner table in front of the whole family: “Ms. It's too much for her to eat, and she is always uncomfortable and doesn't work, so she doesn't need to eat so much. From today on, Mrs. Qian doesn't have to take care of the work on the other side of the kitchen. Everyone remembers that from now on, Qian can only eat half of each meal, and the meals will be the same. The old woman has a bad memory and eyesight and didn't notice that she ate too much, so please remind me."

She can only eat half of each meal, no matter whether she says she is sick or not, her appetite can only be half of what she used to eat.

Qian Xinghua's mung bean eyes were once again as big as soybeans. She pulled Li Chengli's clothes under the dining table vigorously, asking him to help him speak.

Ever since Li Ming said those words at the dinner table last time, Li Chengli's attitude towards Qian Xinghua has become much colder.

He is a filial person, it is impossible for him to have such rebellious thoughts when his parents were still alive, he was sulking at Qian Xinghua.

Li Chengli is a boring gourd, he won't say that he is unhappy, and Qian Xinghua doesn't take it seriously. Anyway, when the two of them are alone, it is normal for Li Chengli not to speak.

No matter how much Qian Xinghua pulled Li Chengli's clothes, or even pinched his thigh, Li Chengli didn't say a word, and continued to eat with his rice bowl down.

Seeing this, Qian Xinghua could only fight for herself: "Mom, I was too hot two days ago and felt uncomfortable. I will put a basin of cold water by my side in the future, and wipe it with a handkerchief when it is too hot to work. I won't be going back home to rest."

The implication is that she will work hard in the future and don't reduce her appetite.

Mrs. Li ignored her at all and ate on her own. Now she was annoyed when she saw Qian Xinghua, and she felt more and more good about her decision to separate the family earlier.

If the family is not separated, she will see this annoying person every day. If the family is separated, she will care about the third daughter-in-law who is pregnant, and don't care about the rest.

The more she thought about it, the better her mood became. Old Madam Li finished the rice in the bowl in two or three bites, and told Bai Xiuhe: "Everyone, eat quickly, go to sleep after eating and continue to work in the afternoon, everyone, you can wash the dishes later. Get ready to rest when you're ready to clean up, and leave her alone if some people haven't finished eating."

When Mrs. Li said that she hadn't finished eating, she must be referring to Qian Xinghua. Qian Xinghua hadn't eaten much just now. She wanted Mrs. Li to take back the order to only give her half of the food in the future, so Mrs. Li couldn't get used to it. she.

Qian Xinghua saw that the dishes in the bowl on the table were getting less and less, she quickly reached out her chopsticks and put some into her bowl, just let it be enough for this meal, don't even eat a little bit of meat from the dishes .

From this day on, when it was time for cooking, Mrs. Qian would either order Bai Xiuhe to go to the kitchen, or she would lead Li Mingchun there, and resolutely prevented Qian Xinghua from entering the kitchen to steal food.

When it was time to eat, there was always only half of the rice in Qian Xinghua's bowl, and Mrs. Li would still stare at her chopsticks, and she would be scolded immediately if she picked one more time.

Li Chengli knew that his old mother secretly said to Qian Xinghua that she was angry at the separation of the family, and seeing her start to clean up Qian Xinghua, he felt more at ease, so he chose to turn a blind eye to Qian Xinghua's eyes full of resentment.

Time flies by, and the busiest months of July and August have passed. The crops in the fields have been harvested, and God is very generous. The daytime is full of bright sun, and the rice and other harvested grains are dry. Put it in the warehouse, and wait for the grain merchants to collect the excess.

After half a year of hard work, the hardest season for farmers has passed. Although there are still sweet potatoes and beans that need to be harvested in the dry land, harvesting them is not as urgent as harvesting rice. You can do it slowly.

At the end of August, it was another big bath, and Li Chengshi came back.

The county government is also very busy this month. The county magistrate attaches great importance to agricultural planting in Changping County. The servants under them are sent to the fields every day to see the output of each village, what difficulties are there in harvesting, etc. Mu Xiu canceled it.

Mu Xiu's cancellation, plus the allowance for going out every day, Li Chengshi's monthly money in August was much higher than usual, and he happily returned home with the money.

Now Jiang Zhiyun has been pregnant for more than five months, and her belly is getting bigger day by day as if she was blown in. She would stroll around the gate of Li's yard every morning and evening after eating.

Li Chengshi looked at Jiang Zhiyun, who had a bulging belly, walked slowly with her waist supported, and exuded the brilliance of motherhood. His eyes were full of various emotions, love, pity, satisfaction...

Li Mingjin looked at his father standing stupidly as if he didn't dare to approach his mother, he ran over, took his father's hand, walked over and slowly put his hand on his mother's belly.

"Father, my younger brother is very active. Last night when I was talking with him, he kicked me twice." Li Mingjin was a little happy, but a little distressed. "My grandma said that it is a good thing that my younger brother is active, but mother will hurt."

Li Mingjin became more and more troubled after his younger brother got bigger and bigger. Once he saw that his younger brother seemed to be kicking his mother too hard, and his mother frowned, so now he wants his younger brother to come out sooner, so that his mother will not be so angry. pain.

Li Chengshi went out to join the army when Jiang Zhiyun was about to give birth. Back then, he watched Jiang Zhiyun's belly changes little by little, unlike this time when he suddenly saw it after a month, and eight years had passed. After he went out to join the army Dare not to be homesick all the time, Li Chengshi's appearance of Jiang Zhiyun back then is already very blurred.

"Yunniang, thank you for your hard work." Li Chengshi supported Jiang Zhiyun's waist with one hand, and gently stroked Jiang Zhiyun's belly with the other.

Through the cool summer shirt, he seemed to feel the heartbeat of the child in his stomach who was connected with his blood.

Seeing that Li Chengshi was curious about her stomach, Jiang Zhiyun suggested: "Brother Shi, would you like to listen to it? Brother Jin said that he could hear his brother's heartbeat."

Li Chengshi helped Jiang Zhiyun back to the room and sat down, then half-kneeled aside, putting his ears on Jiang Zhiyun's belly.

Two heartbeats, one heavy and the other light, both beat on Li Chengshi's heart, making him burst into tears.

There was a chill in her stomach, and the smile on Jiang Zhiyun's face paused. After a little thought, she understood where Li Chengshi's emotions came from. She put her hand on Li Chengshi's shoulder and patted him to comfort him: "Brother Shi, I'm fine." .”

Li Chengshi quickly adjusted his mood, raised his head and looked at Jiang Zhiyun: "Mother Yun, you have worked hard these years."

He was not at home all year round, and he and Yunniang had only one child, brother Jin. Although the father and mother had never said anything, the villagers would definitely have various opinions in places where he could not see.

Jiang Zhiyun didn't like to go out, and spent most of her time in the Li family's courtyard, largely because of the gossip in the village.

"It's all over." Jiang Zhiyun blinked away her tears, "I don't feel hard at all, it's my blessing to be able to marry you."

The Li family is one of the rare and kind big families. She is really lucky to have met them.

The two talked intimately in the room, and Li Chengshi took his monthly money for this month to find Mrs. Li.

"Mother, the county government office is very busy this month. All of us on duty in the county government office have been sent out to do errands. My monthly income this month is four or two taels of money, and it's all here." Li Chengli took out his money bag, Put it on the table.

Mrs. Li poured out the silver, which is used for the monthly money issued by the county government, two small silver ingots of two taels plus a silver dime: "Okay, mother's two taels of silver is enough, your daughter-in-law is pregnant There are many places to spend money, and the extra money will be handed over to your wife."

"Mother, I agreed to hand over half of each family's money to my grandfather. I can't keep the two coins." Li Chengshi refused.

Since the rules have been set before, he must follow the rules, otherwise if the second sister-in-law finds out, there will definitely be another disturbance at home, just for two coins, it is unnecessary.

"You don't take the initiative to say that you have more money this month, and everyone doesn't know. That's right! Just give me a tael and a half, the same as before." Granny Li slapped her forehead and turned to go to her room.

When she came out, she was holding a half tael of broken silver in her hand: "I'll take this for you too. If you're not in charge, you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. When your daughter-in-law's belly comes out, there will be more places to spend money. If you have more money in your hands, mother will feel more at ease."

Mrs. Li took away a small silver ingot of two taels, and left on the table was a small silver ingot of two taels, one and a half taels of silver and a silver dime of two renminbi.

"Mother, this..." Li Chengshi felt that his mother was so abnormal today that he actually pushed out the money he got.

"That's it. You go back to the house. I have something to talk to your father after dinner." Mrs. Li packed the silver and stuffed it back into Li Chengshi's arms, and drove the third son out.
