Xiaofukuoka opened her eyes again.
"Little aunt is awake." Erlang clapped his hands. This was the first time he saw such a beautiful little girl. "Little aunt is the most beautiful person in our family!"
Xie Chuntao saw her sister-in-law awake for the first time and felt that her son's description was too conservative. Not only Lao Bai's family, there was no such beautiful girl in the whole village.
"It's not that good. My sister-in-law is even prettier than the doll in the painting." Xie Chuntao thought about the adjectives, "Mom, look at my sister-in-law's eyes, which are watery, and she looks like she can talk. Why are her eyelashes so thick, like a small fan? It's the willow eyebrows, which are curved, dark and dense, and you don't need to draw eyebrows when you grow up; and the skin is like a tender egg, why is it so white..."
The more Xie Chuntao praised her, the more emotional she became. Her sister-in-law was really like a little fairy, and she didn't have the temperament of a village girl at all.
She couldn't help but envy her mother-in-law. It would be great if she could have a daughter in the future.
"And this fleshy earlobe. Oh, mother, look at my sister's mole on her right earlobe. The older generation in the village said that a mole on an earlobe is a sign of wealth."
Xie Chuntao made a new discovery and praised it happily.
"Anything about being rich or not is all vain. I just hope she is healthy and safe."
If the people in the village knew that Xiao Fuyuan's mother died when he was born, they would probably have another story. Zhen thought that she must keep this secret.
"By the way, mother, has my sister-in-law given a name?" Xie Chuntao asked.
"Take it. The elder name is Bai Fuyuan and the nickname is Yuanyuan."
"Fuyuan, this is a good name. May you be reunited happily."
Xie Chuntao said while tucking in little Fuyuan's quilt with a smile.
Xiao Fuyuan blinked. The young woman in front of him looked as kind as her mother and a good person. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
"Hey, my little aunt is hungry, isn't she?" Erlang said in surprise.
Xie Chuntao asked Zhen worriedly: "Mom, can I just give my sister some rice soup?"
When she was borrowing rice and noodles in the village, she heard that Mrs. Bai was lending ewes that had given birth on credit. How can ewes be so easy to get credit for? There are only a few families in the family who have sheep, and the ewes are as precious as their eyes. They are reserved for giving birth to generate money, and they will not be sold easily, let alone on credit.
Mrs. Zhen sighed and took out the goat's milk from the warm basin on the stove nearby. My mother-in-law has been out for a while, but she hasn't come back yet, probably because she didn't get the ewe on credit.
After drinking this bottle of goat's milk, I can only survive on millet porridge.
Little Fuyuan was not hungry at first, but when she saw Mrs. Zhen holding the goat milk bottle, she immediately felt hungry.
However, when he heard that he would no longer be able to drink milk, he felt infinitely aggrieved. He flattened his mouth and his big grape-like eyes were filled with mist.
Seeing Xiao Fuyuan's pink and jade-carved face, with an aggrieved and aggrieved expression on the verge of crying, Zhen and Xie Chuntao's hearts almost broke.
Who doesn’t feel distressed after seeing this?
Xie Chuntao patted her heart, turned around and said, "Oh, I can't bear it anymore! No! I'll go to the village nurse's house and ask for a bowl of milk for my sister-in-law to drink."
For the sake of the first girl in the Lao Bai family, Xie Chuntao rushed towards the village with milk, so he shamelessly risked his life.
Mrs. Zhen held little Fuyuan in her arms and fed her the remaining goat milk, feeling extremely distressed.
If I really let my little girl drink rice soup in the future, I will shed tears just thinking about it.
I just regret that I didn’t do more work in the embroidery workshop.
Zhen was feeling sad and blaming herself when she heard a burst of noise coming from outside.
The entire Shenshu Village was boiling, and crowds of people rushed towards the old courtyard of Lao Bai's house.
This was the first time they had seen someone catch so many fish from the river at the head of the village.
The white wooden board cheerfully cleared the way, holding a large wooden barrel in his hand, which contained several large fish. The big fish jumped lively, and its snow-white scales dazzled people's eyes in the sunlight.
Following the white wooden board was Bai Dazhuang, and he was also seen carrying a large wooden barrel in his hand.
Likewise, there are big fish jumping around in his barrel.
The most impressive thing was Bai Dalang walking beside Bai Dazhuang. Bai Dalang held a big carp tightly in his arms. This carp was a dazzling red koi. It lay obediently in Bai Dalang's arms, its mouth closing and closing, as if it had become a spirit.
For so many years, the villagers have fished back and forth in the river, but they have never caught a red koi carp.
This old Bai family is lucky.
A few steps behind was Bai Zhaomei.
Bai Zhaomei was holding a wooden basin in both hands. In the wooden basin was a grass carp. The fish's tail was swaying, splashing snow water all over the floor.
Bai Zhaomei is still young, and her mood is more outgoing than her father and elder brother. Her little face is red with excitement, and she walks with a high spirited attitude.
Even the little carrot-head Bai Sanlang was holding a big silver carp in his arms.
Godshu Village has never seen such a spectacular scene before!
There were so many fish, so big and fat. Let alone catching them in the river, this was the first time I had seen them. Why did so many fish appear in the river at the head of the village? Some people's thoughts became vivid, they got out of the crowd of onlookers, went home, took the net bag, and rushed towards the river. Of course, they fished hard for several days and didn't see any fish as big as an inch. This is a story for another day.
"My mother!" Old Mrs. Bai saw so many people surrounding her yard from a distance, rushing over on their little feet. She squeezed in and saw so many fish. She couldn't help but pat her chest and exclaimed.
She went all over the village to get sheep on credit, but she couldn't get any. Either the ewe didn't give birth, or the ewe that gave birth was reluctant to part with it.
When I was worried, I saw that my children and grandchildren performed such a big miracle for Lao Bai's family.
You know, in the past, Lao Bai’s family couldn’t even pick up a single sheep dung egg.
"Boss, you've got such bad luck in old age that your family has caught such a big fish, tsk tsk tsk..." said an old lady who was watching with both sourness and envy.
"Why, my family is not allowed to be lucky." Old Mrs. Bai retorted.
"Brother Bai, this is a good sign for your Bai family!" The village chief smoked his pipe and looked at the white wooden board with a smile on his face.
"It's just luck. It's just a few fish."
White boards are cheerfully modest.
"Brother Bai, let's see what you said. How many fish are those? What does the fish represent? Fish means there will be more than enough every year. This is a good sign." The village chief has learned a lot and came to a conclusion.
After hearing what the village chief said, everyone agreed, as if the dilapidated yard and house of Lao Bai's family were shrouded in auspicious light.
"Borrowing the village chief's words of luck." Bai Banban laughed.
Regardless of whether there is a good omen or not, who doesn’t like to hear auspicious words?
Old lady Bai stood in the crowd with a smile on her face.
"Da Lang, give me this big red carp of yours." Someone teased Da Lang.
Dalang tightly guarded the big red carp in the basin, shook his head and said: "No, the big carp is for my little aunt."
"Oh, now I think of my little aunt for all the good things."
"The new-born daughter of Lao Bai's family is incredible. There is no such precious daughter in the whole village."
"No, Lao Bai's family was able to catch so many big fish just after he was born. It can be seen that she brought this good fortune."
"I'm afraid what Pojiao Taoist said is true. This little girl from Lao Bai's family is really lucky."
…
Everyone gathered around the fish and talked about why Master Pojiao didn't point out that his child had such good luck back then.
Little Fuyuan's aura of good luck was confirmed among the big fish.
Over the years, Lao Bai's boys have been born one after another, and his days have become increasingly poor.
Maybe it needs to be transferred.
Old Mrs. Bai felt quite uncomfortable in the envious eyes of everyone. Naturally, she heard the discussion in the village about Pojiao Taoist fortune telling. To be honest, she didn't believe it.
Because many years ago, our family had such a good time.
In the year when the second grandson was admitted as a scholar, there was a sensation in all parts of the country, and everyone said that there was a literary star in Lao Bai's family.
But the good luck was fixed when the list was unveiled, and it can be said that bad luck continued after that.
