On the evening of the 19th, dinner had just been finished at Xu Hongping’s home.
Shi Shi sat on the sofa nearby, picked up an old magazine and read page by page.
Min'er bent down and wiped the table neatly.
"Miss Min'er, be careful." Tailor Zhou picked up the bucket and shouted:
Min'er moved her body and said: Aunt Zhou, why is there no rice bran in the Gushui tonight?
Tailor Liu called out: There is no rice bran in the house.
Shitou responded: Next time we go to the market, I will ask my mother to buy some.
"Stone, what do you want to buy?" Erfeng came over and asked:
Shitou replied: Aunt Liu said that we have no rice bran at home...
"Aunt Zhou, you asked me to feed the pigs." Shitou said blankly:
Tailor Zhou said: "No, no, you stay here with my wife."
"Aunt Zhou, I don't need him to accompany me. I have to go in and take care of the child." Erfeng said:
"Jingle Bell"
Shitou grabbed the phone and called: Hello! I am a stone...
"Young master, right?"
"Officer Wang, what's the matter with you!"
"My seventh aunt has given birth to a son, and I would like to ask the young master to tell Min'er for me!"
Shitou congratulated: Congratulations! Congratulations!
He tilted his head and called: Min'er, come here and answer the phone.
Miner walked towards the phone.
Erfeng whispered: Min'er's aunt has given birth.
Shitou nodded and replied: Yes!
Erfeng said softly: I'm in.
Shitou gestured and replied: Go!
"I will go there with my brother-in-law." Min'er replied:
Officer Wang then said: When will you come?
Min'er replied: I'm not sure, it should be just these two days!
"If we go there, I will call you." Min'er continued:
Officer Wang replied: Okay, okay.
"Min'er, can you call home?" Xu Hongping came over and called:
Min'er put down the phone and responded: I was on the phone with my family. My father said that my seventh aunt had given birth...
"Wow! After ten months of pregnancy, she finally gave birth to this child. It's not easy, it's really not easy." Xu Hongping continued:
Min'er frowned and said: I heard from my father that the birth of the child did not go well. My seventh aunt fainted several times during delivery.
"It's a good thing to have a near miss. It's not uncommon for a child to have a difficult delivery. Times have changed. If the child can turn misfortune into good luck, he will definitely be blessed in the future." Xu Hongping responded:
Shitou said: Mom, why have you become so superstitious?
"Brother-in-law, with Yuan'er here, it's hard for Mom not to be superstitious. Yuan'er praises her husband all day long - he can pinch and do calculations. More importantly, he made fortunes for Brother Hu..." Min The son then said:
Xu Hongping shouted: Min'er, don't talk too much.
"What did Brother Xu say about Brother Dahu!" Shitou smiled and said:
Xu Hongping called out: He didn't say anything!
Shitou continued: "It's so mysterious. If mom doesn't want to talk about it, forget it."
"Shitou, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I have nothing to say!" Xu Hongping replied:
"Brother-in-law, Brother Xu said, Brother Hu is a hero, and brother-in-law is a hero. The two cannot be confused, but there is one thing. Brother Hu can be happy at the knees of his parents..." Min'er said:
"Shitou, Brother Xu is purely lying and cannot be believed at all. I have no intention of blaming you." Xu Hongping said:
Shitou replied: Brother Xu is talking nonsense...
"Brother-in-law, I also said that you will not leave Sister Erfeng, nor dad and mom..." Min'er called:
Shitou said: Of course not.
"Grandma, let's go in and take a shower." Tailor Liu came back carrying a bucket.
Xu Hongping said: You first scoop out the hot water on the cauldron, and then scoop out the hot water on the pot.
Tailor Zhou said: Do you need to add cold water to the tripod?
Xu Hongping replied: There will be more.
"Mom, my aunt has given birth to a baby. Will you go to my house to take care of the baby?" Min'er asked:
Tailor Zhou turned around and asked: Miss Min'er, has your seventh aunt given birth to a baby?
Miner responded: She gave birth this afternoon.
Tailor Zhou and Tailor Liu congratulated: Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations to Miss Miner for becoming a sister again.
Miner thanked: Thank you! Thanks!
"Sister Zhou, go in and take a shower!" Tailor Liu shouted:
Tailor Zhou moved his feet and replied: Let’s go.
"Sister Zhou, the fire on the stove cannot be turned off." Xu Hongping reminded:
"Mom, will you go?" Min'er asked:
Xu Hongping responded: Where to go!
Miner said: Go to my house!
Xu Hongping then said: Why should I go to your house?
In two days, the stone will follow you.
Min'er said: You are you, and your brother-in-law is your brother-in-law.
Shitou said: Min'er, Mom doesn't want to go, but if you force her to go, aren't you making things difficult for Mom?
"Brother-in-law, why am I embarrassing my mother!" Min'er continued:
Shitou replied: You are not in trouble, you are not in trouble.
Xu Hongping shouted: Stop arguing! I'll take some time to see the kids.
"Brother-in-law, when will you come to my house?" Min'er asked:
Shitou replied: I can go any day my mother asks me to.
Miner shouted: Mom!
Xu Hongping said: "This matter" will be discussed in two days. I can't say for sure now.
"Woo! Woo! Woo! Mommy is bad, mommy is bad."
The stone "swished" and ran into the room.
"Mom, why don't you go in and take a look inside?" Min'er called:
Xu Hongping responded: We will see later.
Min'er said: Brother-in-law ran so fast! Nothing will happen inside!
Xu Hongping said: Min'er, this is not the first time you have seen such a scene. Shitou usually walks very fast, not to mention that the child is crying at the moment. Are you surprised?
Min'er said: Xiao Feng'er cried so loudly! What if her brother-in-law rushes in and beats her!
"Miner, you are worrying too much. If Erfeng is in the room, the stone will not hit anyone." Xu Hongping commented:
Min'er responded: It's hard to say.
"Xiao Feng'er's crying is getting louder and louder, and I have to help Xiao Feng'er take a bath." Xu Hongping stood up and muttered:
"Shitou, why didn't you call mom in? Xiao Feng'er loves her mom to help her take a bath." Erfeng called:
Shitou said: Wouldn't it be better to ask mom to give Xiao Feng'er a bath? We can't rely on mom all the time.
Besides, she is your mother and my mother-in-law...
"Shitou, do we have to be so clear about it?" Erfeng interrupted:
"No, I'm not talking about your mother or my mother..." Shitou continued:
"Wow wow wow"
Shitou pointed at the bridge of Xiao Feng'er's nose and shouted: If you cry again, I will slap you twice.
Erfeng called out: Apart from slapping people, what else can you do!
Shitou raised his palm and said: I, I...
"Shitou knows a lot. He can shoulder burdens and make money." Xu Hongping opened the door and walked into the room.
Shitou shouted: Mom, you are here.
"Shitou, you go out to the living room and sit for a while, and I'll help Xiao Feng'er take a bath." Xu Hongping shouted:
Xiao Feng'er cried: I want grandma...
"Come, my little darling, grandma will help you wash it." Xu Hongping stretched out her hands to hug Xiao Feng'er.
Shi Shi stepped forward and walked away.
Xu Hongping said: Erfeng, go and close the door...
Min'er thought while unbuttoning her buttons! If the stone is like what Yuan'er said! Wouldn’t he just...
No, he is his brother-in-law.
What brother-in-law!
Sixth Yiniang said that only a sister can have a husband.
"No, no, no, how could I have such an idea!" Min'er shook her head and muttered:
Min'er muttered silently: But there is no word from Sister Erfeng! The stone has long been mine!
She sat in the tub and whispered: It's so evil.
"Erfeng, how can you say Shitou doesn't understand anything!" Xu Hongping accused:
Erfeng continued: He always talks about beating children.
Xu Hongping argued: He was just bluffing.
Erfeng responded: How can he be threatening! If he moves his hand, the child will bleed.
"He really beat him, you can't accuse him like this." Xu Hongping replied:
Erfeng said: Why can't you accuse him? He is my husband.
"You still know! He is your husband. He is busy working for you. You don't understand how much he has sacrificed!" Xu Hongping replied:
Erfeng said: I understand.
Xu Hongping continued: You know, you should pay attention.
"The child has nothing to do with this." Erfeng responded:
Xu Hongping said: If you want to keep the stone, you must be patient.
"Mom, where is dad going?" Xiao Feng'er asked:
Erfeng glanced at Xu Hongping and said: Your father wants to go to your uncle.
Xiao Feng'er then said: I want to go too.
"Xiao Feng'er, your uncle is far away. If you miss him, go outside and see his photos." Xu Hongping called:
Xiao Feng'er responded: I don't want to see the photo, I want an uncle.
"Xiao Feng'er, be good! My uncle has gone to a very far away place. Your father goes to find his uncle, but you won't be able to see him either." Erfeng touched Xiao Feng'er's head and said:
Xiaofeng'er cried: I want daddy, I want daddy.
Xu Hongping hugged Xiao Feng'er and said: "Xiao Feng'er, if you don't cry, your father is outside. I will take you to see your father."
"Today is 19, and the day after tomorrow is the market day. I want to talk to my brothers on the day of the market." Shitou turned over the calendar and muttered:
Shitou was stunned and said: What if brothers can't get together the day after tomorrow?
"Daddy, daddy, I want daddy to hold me, daddy to hold me."
Shitou looked forward and said with a smile, "Daddy will hold me, daddy will hold me."
Xiao Feng'er ran to the stone and said: Dad, Dad, smell it! Grandma helped me wash the fragrance.
Shitou breathed in and shouted: Wow! It smells so good.
Xu Hongping shouted: Xiao Feng'er, you and dad are playing here, grandma goes in to sleep!
Xiao Feng'er replied: Grandma, don't leave!
Shitou picked up Xiao Feng'er and called out: Mom, sit down, I want to tell you something.
Xu Hongping sat on the stool and said: Shitou, what do you want to say to me?
Shitou said: Mom, Min'er's aunt has given birth to a baby. When do you plan to see the baby?
"Didn't I just say it? Let's talk in two days!" Xu Hongping continued:
"Mom, the day after tomorrow is market day. We can't decide on a date these two days. When the time comes..." Shitou argued:
Xu Hongping replied: You are right.
Shitou shouted: Mom, please choose a day today!
"Just choose a day, let's set it on the 24th." Xu Hongping scratched her forehead and said:
Shitou asked: Is it the 24th of this month?
Xu Hongping replied: It is the 24th of this month.
Shitou said: This is too hasty! The seventh lady gave birth to the baby - not even seven days had passed.
"Dad, what will happen in less than seven days?" Xiao Feng'er asked:
Shitou responded: "When adults are talking, children, please don't interrupt!"
Xu Hongping continued: According to our custom, three days after the child is born, a newborn banquet can be held.
Shitou replied: I want to push it back...
"How can we postpone this kind of thing! Postponing it is a waste of time. It would be unlucky to arrange such a happy event." Xu Hongping said:
Shitou replied: We can go.
Xu Hongping said: You go on the 26th, but I can’t go. It’s the market that day, and our old customers are still waiting for us on the street.
Shitou thought for a while and muttered: Then do what mom said.
"Grandma, I want to sleep!" Xiao Feng'er shouted:
Shitou shouted at Xiao Feng'er: You were nagging just now, why did you suddenly...
"Brother-in-law, children are like this, don't blame Xiao Feng'er!" Min'er walked towards her.
Shitou called out: Why aren't you sleeping yet?
Min'er responded: I took a nap, and when I woke up I heard you and mom talking, so I wanted to come out and take a look.
"Miner, you and Shitou are chatting here while I take Xiaofeng'er in to sleep." Xu Hongping said:
Min'er then said: I'll go too.
"Min'er, we're going to see Mrs. Seven and her child in two days." Shitou shouted:
"Shitou, give me Xiaofeng'er." Xu Hongping opened her arms and shouted:
Shitou handed it to Xiao Feng'er and said, "Mom, you've got it right."
Xu Hongping picked up Xiao Feng'er and called: Xiao Feng'er, let's go to bed.
Min'er asked: Brother-in-law, when will you come to my house?
Shitou responded: Go on the 24th of this month.
"I'll go back the day after tomorrow!" Min'er said excitedly:
Shitou then said: Why wait until the day after tomorrow! You can go back tomorrow.
Min'er replied: What will I do when I go back tomorrow? There are so many servants in my house!
Shitou said: How can you compare with the servant! You are the child's sister. You go back to take care of the children and take care of the adults at the same time.
Min'er was silent for a moment and said: I will go back tomorrow.
Shitou stood up and shouted: Go to bed!
Min'er called out: Brother-in-law, I want to be alone.
Shitou raised his feet and said: I don't care about you.
Min'er was lying on the sofa and called out: Huh...
