Lucky husband

After more than a month, Xiang Yiyu used the same method, quietly ran three or four times to a slightly deeper place in the back mountain, and found some medicinal materials that were slightly more valuable than ordinary herbs like Gastrodia elata and Panax notoginseng.

After all the medicinal materials in hand were processed, Xiang Yi took all the medicinal materials to the county town together, divided them into three parts and sold them to three big pharmacies in the county town, and got a total of more than 53 taels of silver.

Although he spent a small part of it buying daily necessities and food during this period, there is still 66 taels of silver left from selling ginseng before. With the silver from selling medicinal materials, he is already enough to buy himself a household registration in Shanghe Village, Changping County. No, he immediately took the money to the county government.

With the help of Li Chengshi, Xiang Yiyu did not spend much money, and he had the household registration of Shanghe Village, Changping County on the same day, and then he went back non-stop to find Village Chief Bai for help.

Hurry up and buy a piece of homestead from Yi Yu this afternoon. It is located in the east of the village, next to Li's family. It seems that they are going to settle in the village and have the intention of repairing houses in the future. .

The people in Shanghe Village have learned about Xiang Yiyu during this period of time, and know that Xiang Yiyu can recognize and make medicines. Everyone has become accustomed to Xiang Yiyu's existence just as they accepted Bai Yao's mother and son back then. I was even more happy when I settled down and bought a homestead. I thought that maybe in the future, there would be an additional doctor in their village, and it would be more convenient for the villagers to see a doctor, and it should be cheaper.

Xiang Yiyu stayed in Shanghe Village naturally and unexpectedly. It is a pity that after he bought the household registration and homestead, he had little money left and could not build a house, so he continued to rent in the right wing of Li's house. Continue to quietly run to the back mountain to dig medicinal materials to save money with Li Qiusheng on his back.

Although Li Qiusheng was a little skeptical that Xiang Yiyu had accumulated dozens of taels of silver so quickly, he thought that Xiang Yiyu was a young master who had seen the world, and maybe he had other ways to make money, so he probably didn't go to the back of the mountain and stop thinking about him.

Now that Xiang Yi Yu's body has almost recovered, Li Qiusheng has returned to his previous life, making it difficult for Xiang Yi Yu to meet him.

Fortunately, Xiang Yiyu now puts most of his energy on earning money, trying to build his own house as soon as possible, so that he can go to Li Qiusheng to express his heart.

Time passed day by day, and after getting married, Jiang Qiming went to the Fucheng government school and successfully entered the Fucheng government school. Deng Wenxin rented a small house outside the government school together for the convenience of taking care of him, and settled down like this.

Xiang Yiyu has gradually integrated into Shanghe Village. Although he is a little old now, he is almost 21 years old, but he can't stop him from being good-looking. Many [-]-year-old girls who are about to marry have their ideas on him.

They want to marry Xiang Yiyu not only because of his looks, but also because Xiang Yiyu has the ability to dig herbs to make money, and Xiang Yiyu is alone in Shanghe Village. If they marry him, they don't have to worry about having a mother-in-law Press it, you can be a housekeeper as soon as you get married, and the little girls who have seen the wicked mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law all think that Xiang Yiyu's conditions are very good.

But there is also a problem, that is, we don't know who Xiang Yiyu was before. Maybe he has married a wife and had children before. He contacted Xiang Yiyu, but he didn't take any practical action.

At most, those women in the village who have nothing to do will come to Yi Yu to chat with each other, to see how he is doing in the past.

When Xiang Yiyu appeared in Shanghe Village, it was during the slack season of farming. After a few months, it was the busy farming season in July. The people in the village didn't care about Xiang Yiyu, who couldn't farm and looked like a young master.

You know, the food in the field is the result of their hard work for more than half a year. After harvesting, it will be their rations for the next year, so they must pay attention to it.

Every time before the start of the busy farming season, the old people in the village would go to Li’s house to talk to old man Li, to see what old man Li thought about the weather in the coming period, and to adjust their progress of harvesting grain according to old man Li’s words and actions of Li’s family.

Over the years, Li Mingjin's prophetic dreams have been uttered through Old Man Li's mouth. Except for the years when the weather is particularly unsuitable, there is basically no food in Shanghe Village that is rotten in the field or not dried and moldy after being harvested due to short-term weather. Things are getting better and better for everyone.

After July passed, August was relatively less busy. At this time, Li Mingchun's belly was already very big, and she was about to give birth soon. Jiang Zhiyun took Li Mingjin to live in Shanghe Village again and never left. Let Li Chengshi and Li Mingkang go back to the county alone.

Looking at Li Mingchun who looked more rounded because of the thicker clothes than before, Li Mingjin said in disbelief: "Second sister, why do I look at your belly bigger than before? My little girl Does the nephew want to stay in his mother's belly?"

Li Qiusheng walked with Li Mingchun at the side. He had seen many pregnant women in the past few years and felt that Li Mingchun's stomach was within the normal range, so he said: "Mingchun's stomach is a normal size, and she gave birth in about two days. My master and I felt her pulse, and it's all right."

Counting from the beginning of the separation of the Bai family before the Chinese New Year last year, Li Mingchun and Bai Chen have lived in the second room of the Li family for more than eight months. After knowing that his wife is pregnant, Bai Chen is more motivated to work, and he follows his master. After doing a lot of work, they have already made up for the part of Li Mingchun's dowry that was embezzled, and the husband and wife have saved a few taels of silver in addition to expenses.

In fact, after living in Yue's house, Bai Chen thought about borrowing Li Mingchun's dowry again. They built a new small house next to Yue's house, but Bai Chen felt that he couldn't develop the habit of borrowing Li Mingchun's dowry without money.

And now that Mingchun is pregnant, once he gets busy, he won't have time to accompany her, so he might as well live in Yue's house for the time being, and after Mingchun gives birth, he will do more work to save some money before building a house.

Although outsiders think that Bai Chen and the others live in Yue's house to eat soft food, which is equivalent to marrying into a family, in fact, Bai Chen and Li Mingchun will pay [-] Wen to Li Chengli every month, and Bai Chen will buy meat back from time to time, which can be regarded as their borrowing. The cost of living in Yue's house.

The daughter and son-in-law Li Chengli did not accept the money at the beginning, but he only accepted the money after asking Mrs. Li, because Mrs. Li told him that before he got married, he should raise his daughter as a father, and the daughter would not belong to him after marriage. , It doesn't make sense to eat and drink at home without paying a penny.

Because he gave money, even though he didn't yell out, Bai Chen felt that he was eating and drinking for free, and he didn't care about the harsh words of those people in the village, which made his parents a little bit unbearable, so they ran over to scold Bai Chen several times, Bai Chenli ignored them.

July and August are busy farming seasons, but carpenters are not busy. Bai Chen almost never went to work with his master. He either took some small jobs and went home to do them slowly, or he did them at home with Li Mingchun. A crib for their first child.

Bai Chen heard about making a separate crib for the child from his master. It is said that the wealthy families in the county are like this. The child will not live with the parents and will prepare a crib for the child alone. Carried by servants at night.

It is impossible for Baichen and Limingchun to have servants, but Baichen thinks it is no problem to make a small bed for the child alone, so that at least there is no need to worry about the adult turning over and pressing the child at night, and Limingchun does not have to wait all the time during the day Staying in the room, you can move the crib to the yard to accompany your son to bask in the sun and do chores.

Bai Chen was very excited when he learned that he and Li Mingchun had a child. His paternal love made him make toys for the children when he had nothing to do. From small rattles to large wooden horses, as long as he knew something for the children to play with He made all the things, and put them all in the room where Li Mingchun temporarily put the dowry.

The Li family saw Bai Chen's love for Li Mingchun and the child in her womb, and they were all very satisfied with Bai Chen's son-in-law.

On the second night when Li Chengshi and Li Mingkang returned to Shanghe Village, Li Mingjin had a dream. He dreamed that when Li Mingchun was walking in the evening, he accidentally stepped on a bumpy rock and slipped.

Although Bai Chen was by Li Mingchun's side to catch her at that time, she was frightened and became gassy, ​​and when she got home, she started to cry out in pain.

I don't know if it was because of the fetal gas, but Li Mingchun's delivery was not very smooth, and it could even be said that it was a dystocia, because she stayed up from the evening until the sky was bright before giving birth to the baby. After the baby came out, she began to bleed profusely. If Xiang Yiyu next door hadn't brought out a piece of ginseng, Li Mingchun would hardly have survived.

Li Mingjin was woken up by fright. He is a young man who is not yet married, and he is not allowed to enter the delivery room, but he saw the pots of blood coming out of Li Mingchun's room, and he knew how dangerous the people inside were.

Gathering his mind, Li Mingjin quickly put on his clothes, opened the door to find Jiang Zhiyun and Mrs. Li, and told them his dream.

Old lady Li and Jiang Zhiyun were frightened. Before Li Mingjin was born, Jiang Zhiyun suffered a dystocia and injured her body. After many years, she became pregnant again with Li Mingkang. Li Mingchun couldn't let this happen to her.

After Li Mingjin finished talking about his dream, he ran out and found a small hoe under the eaves, took the hoe and walked outside the house, first dug out the stone that caused Li Mingchun to suffer, and then bit by bit I carefully searched for other buried stones on the ground, and decided to clean up all the stones in this area without leaving any hidden dangers.

Not only did Li Mingjin do this, but Mrs. Li also asked everyone in the family to clean up the stones on the road with hoes and other agricultural tools that can be used to hoe the ground. Regardless of the size, as long as they are stones, they will be removed.

The whole family of the Li family mobilized together, and cleaned up the stones on the ground in a short time. They were still worried after the stones were gone, and decided to stay with Li Mingchun all day long, so be careful.

In the evening, when Li Mingchun proposed to go for a walk after dinner, Mrs. Li and Jiang Zhiyun hurriedly interrupted her by telling her another matter, making Li Mingchun forget about her plan to go for a walk.

Carefully waiting for Li Mingchun to wash up and return to the room, Mrs. Li, Jiang Zhiyun and Li Mingjin breathed a sigh of relief. They returned to Li's house and lay down to sleep after washing.

This night was destined to be a restless one. Li Mingchun didn't almost fall down and lose her breath, but in the middle of the night she suddenly woke up with pain in her stomach, and her lower body was wet. She quickly woke up, conscious It's time for production.

After enduring this round of labor pains, Li Mingchun pushed Bai Chen beside her and told him softly that she was going to give birth.

Dazed Bai Chen heard Li Mingchun's words and turned over and sat up on the bed. He lit the candle with his hands shaking, and then stared blankly at Li Mingchun, looking at a loss.

Li Mingchun didn't feel as painful as before, she waited for a while and saw that Bai Chen still didn't respond, she reminded him a little funny: "Brother Bai Chen, I'm going to give birth, first you help me to the delivery room where I'm getting ready , and then called the grandma and cousin over, and should also boil some hot water, which will definitely be used later.”

There are many rooms in the newly built courtyard of the second house of Li's family, and one of the rooms has been set up as a delivery room in advance, and all the things that women will use for childbirth and newborn children are prepared in it.

It was only after hearing Li Mingchun's words that Bai Chen realized that his mind was still empty, but fortunately he was still obedient, and followed Li Mingchun's instructions to do things one by one.
