Granny Zhang and Granny Lei were talking in front of the grocery store. She was so envious of Granny Lei for having given birth to so many sons and grandchildren that she couldn't help but shamelessly asked her if she had any secret recipe for having children.
Does Mrs. Lei have any secret recipe for giving birth? What she always asked for was the secret recipe for giving birth to a girl, and there were quite a few secret recipes for giving birth to a girl that she had collected from everywhere!
Ruoxuan came out at this time and happened to hear Mrs. Zhang talking about the secret recipe for giving birth.
Liu Wenyao also heard it and felt a little embarrassed.
Ruoxuan was being held by Liu Wenyao, and she felt Liu Wenyao's embarrassment and anxiety.
Ruoxuan also knew that some women in the village only gave birth to daughters. If they did not give birth to sons, they would be made things difficult and scolded by their mother-in-law.
Even families with only daughters but no sons will be looked down upon by the villagers when they go out, and they have no part in many things.
Anyway, many people are looking forward to having children, not girls.
It is said that having more children means happiness, and what else is there about raising children to provide for old age.
So my aunt gave birth to three cousins in a row, so she must be worried about this, right?
Ruoxuan consoled her: "Auntie, I will ask my father to give you a picture of Guanyin when he comes to the city in two days. You will definitely be able to give birth to a cousin for me next year."
Ruoxuan remembered that one of the sacred waters she collected could make people pregnant and give birth to children.
She went back and looked through the colorful sacred stones, then dropped the sacred water into the ink, drew a picture, and gave it to her aunt.
That kind of sacred water cannot be drunk directly, but when it is dissolved in ink and painted in the painting, it will gradually evaporate its spiritual energy. When people absorb it, they will be happy easily.
However, the aunt was injured during childbirth and had difficulty conceiving. She secretly made a healing magic and gave it to Liu Wenyao.
They say that three-year-old children are the most accurate! Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up after hearing Ruoxuan's words, and she thought that the daughter-in-law of a weak family was so good at giving birth to a son because there was a very effective Guanyin picture of giving birth to children: "In-laws, is this the secret of having so many sons and grandsons? You Don’t worry, when Wen Yao gives birth to a grandson, I will send the picture of Guanyin to her son, please don’t hesitate.”
This kind of good thing may be an heirloom from a weak family. Mrs. Zhang considers herself a sensible person and does not intend to keep it for herself. She will return it to the other party after use and borrow it again if necessary in the future. They are all relatives anyway.
Mrs. Lei couldn't laugh or cry, but Xuan Bao knew magic, and she might really be able to help her aunt, so Mrs. Lei smiled and did not deny it, letting the other party misunderstand her.
"It's getting late, and your store is busy, so we're leaving. I'll ask my fourth brother to deliver it to you when we get to town in two days."
"Okay, okay, okay, don't worry. Chengye, hurry up and take the New Year's gifts out to your in-laws and take them back."
Courtesy reciprocates, Mrs. Zhang is also a person who understands the world.
The weak family gave so many New Year gifts this year, and she also asked people to prepare a lot of New Year goods from the grocery store as gifts in return.
Now the weak family has lent out all the family heirlooms, and Mrs. Tan ran in again and asked Xiao Ermi to move some of each, including flour, grains, oil, rice wine, soy sauce, rice vinegar.
Fifty kilograms of rice and noodles each, ten kilograms of peanut oil in a large jar, ten kilograms of rice wine, one kilogram each of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar, and also picked up a few kilograms of dried seafood.
Zhang Chengye had already prepared a New Year gift, including ten kilograms of all kinds of melon seeds, dried fruits, and candies, including rice, flour, grains, and oils, and various dry goods, also fifty kilograms or ten kilograms.
Mrs. Zhang looked around outside the shop door: "Where's your cart? I'll have people move things to the cart."
Mrs. Lei looked at so many things and hurriedly waved her hands: "Oh, there are too many things, we can't collect them, we can't collect them."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "Not much, not much, they are all collected from the shop, not worth much!"
It is nothing compared to the picture of Guanyin sending children.
As long as she can have a grandchild and continue the incense of the old Zhang family, she will have no problem giving more.
Liu Wenyao also said: "My in-laws, you have given me so many things. These things are really not worth anything compared to what you gave me. They happen to be things that are available in the shop. You can take them home and eat them for everyone. They can be used during the New Year." Come on, there’s no need to buy it.”
"No, these things are nothing compared to what you gave me. If you don't accept them, I won't dare to accept them as gifts for that year!" Zhang Chengye directly picked up two sacks of things and walked out: "Which cart is this? , don’t delay!”
Ruoshui and Mrs. Lei couldn't refuse, so they could only say: "The carriage in front of us just had no place to stop at the door of the shop."
Mrs. Zhang also helped move things. She was surprised again when she saw the brand-new carriage. This weak family has turned around. Did they buy all the carriages?
However, Xuan Bao can talk now, so there is no need to go around looking for medical advice. The brothers from the weak family are either good at literature or martial arts. It is normal for them to be able to stand up. They can even buy a carriage, which is a bit fast.
She had never heard her son and daughter-in-law say anything about a weak family, so she didn't know anything.
She helped carry the things onto the carriage with a normal look on her face, and sent the people away enthusiastically.
The carriage was almost full with the Zhang family's return gifts.
Ruoxuan and Mrs. Lei almost ran out of seats, and they still had to pick up the four brothers.
At that time, the two children will have to sit in the driving seat.
Ruoshui drove the carriage to pick up Ruo Zhou from Dengfeng Martial Arts Academy, and then went to Juxian Academy to pick up Ruo Hang, the three brothers Ruo Bo and Ruo Bang.
As soon as the brothers got on the carriage, they handed Ruoxuan the delicious food they had saved in the academy.
"Sister, these are the Zhangzhou oranges my classmate gave me. They are so sweet. Try them!"
"Sister, this is an apple given to me by my classmate. It is sour and sweet. You must like it."
"Sister, this is coconut candy, it's so fragrant!"
"Sister, this is osmanthus candy, you must love it!"
Ruoxuan also shared the candy figures and candied haws she bought on the street with her brothers. The sound of the brothers and sisters happily sharing the food was heard in the carriage.
Ruoshui was driving a carriage and was talking to Mrs. Lei about General Zhongyong's mansion, and his son also stuffed him with a candy.
There are many people going out of the city and they have to queue up.
While they were lining up, two government officials walked out of the city gate with two notices and posted the notices on the city wall.
Wu Shui was a little curious: "I wonder what the notice is?"
Mrs. Lei: "I'll get out of the car and take a look."
Ruo Zhou quickly said: "Grandma, I just need to get out of the car and take a look."
Xian Zhou immediately got off the carriage, lined up and walked out to watch.
It is much faster for pedestrians to leave the city than for cars and horses.
Soon the weak boat came back.
"What notice?" Mrs. Lei asked.
"The Yamen is planning to build a moat around the city wall and divert water from the Xishui River in the west. First, it can protect the city. Second, it can facilitate people's irrigation. Third, it can facilitate the discharge of accumulated water in the city to prevent the city from being flooded during the rainy season. .”
Mrs. Lei was stunned. She lowered her head and looked at her precious granddaughter in her arms: "Xuanbao, is the wasteland you bought the east city gate?"
Because there was no room in the carriage, Mrs. Lei was holding Xuan Bao.
Ruoxuan nodded her head: "Yes!"
Now that there is water, the large piece of wasteland outside the city can be used to plant flowers.
Really, Mrs. Lei couldn't contain her excitement!
The fields outside the city gate have always been the most expensive fields!
An acre of good farmland is worth twelve taels. Good ones are worth fifteen taels.
Although the land Xuan Bao bought was wasteland, with water, it would become fertile land after a few years of cultivation.
