The coming and going of several people in the room brought endless chills.
Zhang Miao's voice inside the house gradually became weaker. Outside the house, Lin Xiangrong was carried to the backyard by Lin Yuannan. I don't know how long it took before the third rich man came over and said that Zhang Miao had given birth to a son, but the son was only seven months old. After surviving for an hour, Zhang Miao was so angry that he passed out.
When he heard the news, Lin Xiangrong was flipping through books. When he heard the words, he raised his head and responded, then lowered his head and touched the head of the calico cat that came close to him. His voice was a little weak: "I understand."
The front room was extremely hot.
Yuan Xi held a swaddle in his arms. Inside was a son who died young before his heart and lungs were fully developed. He always loved to laugh, farted when he was nervous, and was very taciturn. He was the most inconspicuous among the brothers, but now he was holding him in his arms. With her son bursting into tears, she held Zhang Miao's hand and cried bitterly.
The pain of losing her son made Yuanxi extremely sad and angry, and she refused to listen to anyone who tried to persuade her. In the end, her baby was snatched away by Wang Cuilan.
She closed the door and gave her second son a space to relax. She gently opened the swaddle and took a look at her grandson. She sighed helplessly, put on a relatively new swaddle, and stuffed a banknote and a coin inside. After thinking for a while, he rummaged through and found the oranges Lin Xiangrong bought some time ago and put them in the child's arms.
This is done in the hope that the grandson who died young will have a better life in the next life, and at least he will have enough food and clothing.
This happened at the end of the year, which dampened the family's morale. During dinner in the evening, no one spoke.
Yuan Xi kept picking up food for Dani and Erni. After this incident, he realized how precious the children were. Whether they were boys or girls, they were all his children. How could he treat one another so favorably as before? unfair.
In the final analysis, Yuanxi was frightened and worried that something might happen to his two daughters. Although he didn't have deep feelings for his two daughters, they were his sons after all.
This made Dani and Erni look at each other. They did not refuse Yuanxi's advances. After eating, they washed their hands, filled a basin of hot water, brought clean towels and went to the back room to take care of Zhang Miao. After a while, Erni Come out and say: "My mother is awake, milk, and my mother wants to see you."
She hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems that I want to ask about my younger brother. My eldest sister and I don't know what to say, so we just say we don't know."
The implication is that she hopes Wang Cuilan can speak tactfully and not irritate Zhang Miao.
The aged Wang Cuilan nodded, asked Fang Hongying to tidy up the room, and asked Zhou Zhaodi to cook a bowl of brown sugar, eggs, and bring it to Zhang Miao in the room before going into the back room to talk to Zhang Miao.
Lin Xiangrong asked Sanfu in a low voice: "How to deal with it?"
She blinked and stretched out her hand to make a gesture.
"I've sent it to the goddess in the village. It will be placed in the front room for three days. Dad is going to make a small coffin tomorrow. We won't go to the front room for the next two days. If you're not feeling well, don't rush there." Sanfu said and touched Lin Xiangrong's forehead. After feeling a little hot, he quickly called Lin Yuannan to prepare anti-fever medicine for his sister.
His tone was a little worried: "You should go back and rest first. Don't come to the front room if you have nothing to do."
"Oh, I understand." Lin Xiangrong took the antipyretic medicine and returned to the house in plump clothes. After waiting for a few days, he went to the front room with a cage of little rabbits and sat with Lin Yuannan and Lu Xiao. The carriage went to town to sell money.
She seemed to be in a lot of energy, and she was not sickly affected by the disease. Lu Xiao, who kept looking at her, breathed a sigh of relief and handed over a roasted sweet potato.
"This roasted sweet potato is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's very sweet. It's still hot. It's just a good time to warm up your body." There was a large cage at Lu Xiao's feet. There were seven or eight rabbits in it. Each one was extremely round. It looked like If it is well maintained, it will definitely sell for a good price.
The money from this sale can be used to subsidize the family and buy more grain and meat to eat. This year's harvest is very poor. I heard that many families in the village can hardly afford food, especially when the snow is so heavy and the pheasants on the mountain are not good. Catch, those pure free-range chickens are very clever. They will run far away when they see people's footprints, and they will not be bumped into and captured.
"We'll eat together, half for you and half for me."
The roasted sweet potato was very large and wrapped in paper. It even felt a little hot to the touch. He broke it in half and handed the big one to Lu Xiao. He ate the small half in small bites and thought about the timeline absently.
She clicked on the light screen, stared thoughtfully at the text on it, and noticed the time of Lu Cheng's arrival through a little continuation.
"End of the year?"
[At the end of the year, Lu Cheng should set off to Xingjia Village. It only takes a few days. It seems that Ning Zhennian forced them into desperation and came to Xingjia Village to find a way out. 】
[So you said someone is going to come to Brother Xiaoxiao’s house in the next two days? 】
[Would you like to go over and help Brother Xiao Xiao? He shouldn't be bullied. 】
Lin Xiangrong's big, exquisite eyes were rolling around, and her little face was flushed red by the wind. After she finished eating the sweet potatoes, she wiped her hands with a handkerchief. The wind blew over and covered her face with snow, and she was allowed to crawl into the forest again. Go to the south of the garden.
But Lu Xiao just buried his face in his scarf, silently thinking that Lu Cheng would arrive in Xingjia Village in a few days. He had to find a way to calm Ruan Qing first. The two of them found a way to join hands to hold Lu Cheng down, and also Controlling to prevent Ruan Qing from losing control.
He exhaled a filthy breath, hoping very much that Lu Cheng would die on the road, or in other words, die in Xingjia Village and never return to the capital to fight with him.
He will never show mercy. In a remote village, it is too easy to die accidentally without being found out.
The heavy snow on the roads in the town had been cleared away, and they first went to Fanxiang Pavilion to visit Mr. Ruan for New Year greetings.
The antique door of Fanxiang Pavilion is elegance. Open the door and walk in. As soon as you enter the hot room, you can smell a light woody fragrance. Ancient records are playing in the room, and the babbling opera tune is continuous. The sound sounded, and the lit lamps and light bulbs illuminated the room very brightly.
"Grandpa Jiang, Brother Xiaoxiao and I are here!"
Lin Xiangrong jumped over the threshold, ran in skillfully and touched the head of the puppy that Mr. Ruan had picked up. He purred from the top of his head to the tip of his tail. The back of the happy puppy arched up, and he kept rubbing it with his head. she.
Perhaps because he smelled the scent of the rabbit in the cage, the puppy got its head into the cover again, and then was hit hard by the jumping rabbit. It yelled twice and rushed into the house, just as it came out with a smile on its face. Mr. Ruan collided with each other.
"What happened to the dog?"
Mr. Ruan almost fell down and held on to the wall to stand firm before walking out. When he saw the cage collapsed and several rabbits jumped out, he knew how the dog was frightened.
He shook his head helplessly: "You know how to tease it. Have you had breakfast? Grandpa Jiang cooked porridge."
