Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

Chapter 9 Dividing the Fish
Looking at the villagers with different expressions, the old lady Bai fell into deep thought.

The old Bai's family had good luck, and the villagers casually talked about it as auspicious words, but the old lady Bai was willing to listen.

But the more things got worse and worse, she was a little startled.

She passed by the village today, and the voices of the gossip troupe from the head of the village penetrated into her ears, and even the empress dowager was pulled out.Originally, she ignored it and only took it as a joke, but when the fishing incident happened, things changed.

For Mrs. Bai, if the family can catch big fish, she would rather believe that the dead mother came to repay the favor of adopting the girl than the good luck that the girl brought to Lao Bai's family.

She didn't even believe a word of what the Taoist said.

This is life, not playing a fairy tale.

"Ms. Bai, when will your little lucky star's granddaughter be brought out for the big guys to see?"

"Does Xiaofuxing lack a godmother? Recognizing me as a godmother will also bring blessings to our family."

"What are you thinking, why don't you kneel down and recognize Aunt Bai as a godmother, and become a daughter of the Bai family."

……

The courtyard was full of heat, talking and laughing constantly.

Finally, the old lady Bai interrupted everyone with a wave of her hand.

"My son has a new daughter, which is a big happy event for Lao Bai's family. Logically, we should send some red eggs to everyone to celebrate. It was so cold that we couldn't buy eggs. It happened that the family caught these buckets of fish, and each family shared one Be happy, everyone, don’t be disgusted.”

There is a custom in Shenshu Village that when a child is born, red eggs are given to neighbors and villagers. The old lady Bai thought that Lao Bai's family has no eggs, so it is better to give fish, which is considered as a blessing for her freshly baked little granddaughter.

Besides, Lao Bai's family has caught so many fish, it is inevitable that there will be jealous people in the village, if they do something wrong, it will be bad, it is better to use fish to stop those evil spirits.

I heard that there are fish to eat.

The surrounding villagers were excited again, praising Lao Bai's family for their kindness.

"Emma, ​​this is the family of Jifu!"

"Old Bai's family is fine. I'm thinking of my fellow countrymen before I send it out."

"Such a kind and honest old Bai's family should send it out, and send it out hard."

……

The auspicious words were scattered in the yard of Lao Bai's house, as if giving them no money.

The old lady Bai happily directed Bai Muban and his grandson and daughter-in-law to share the fish with everyone.

A piece of fish was handed to the hands of the onlookers.

The villagers who got the fish were happy to see their teeth but not their eyes.

Such a big fish weighs several catties, enough for a family to beat their teeth for sacrifice.

"Everyone, old lady, I have something else to ask everyone. My little granddaughter is just a country girl. Don't talk about bringing good luck or bad luck in the future. Our lives are not all made by people, how can we Believe the words of the monk and the Taoist."

The old lady Bai clasped her hands together and begged everyone with a smile.

low key!Lao Bai's family wants to keep a low profile!

The villagers agreed with expressions that we all understand.

When You Jingui saw the big fish being given away to the villagers for nothing, his heart trembled in pain.

How much silver can this be exchanged for!

"Sister-in-law, is grandma confused? Is this fish just given away for free? Isn't it good to keep our house and sell the silver? Let's go and persuade grandma." You Jingui tugged at Xie Chuntao and said in a low voice.

"Our family has a sister-in-law, what's wrong with sending out fish? Grandma is happy, and we should be happy too." Xie Chuntao said.

Hmph, you are the only one who will curry favor in front of the elders!

You Jingui was dissatisfied with Xie Chuntao's heckling.

"The family is so poor, catching fish doesn't mean exchanging money, but it's a swollen face to pretend to be fat."

"Brothers and sisters, you said that. We are all from the same village, and we usually help us a lot. Now that our family has got so many fish, we naturally have to share them with everyone."

Xie Chuntao looked at You Jingui in confusion, paused, and continued: "Your brother and sister are pregnant, so don't worry about it. Today is a day of great joy, so we should all be happy."

Glad you damn happy!
Well, you Xie Chuntao, put up the airs of a sister-in-law in front of me, and when I give birth to a daughter, I will overwhelm you.You Jingui rubbed his stomach, as if injecting a force.

Okay, don't you send fish?
Fertile water does not flow into the field of outsiders——

"Sixth sister, take these two big ones back to your mother." You Jingui scooped up the two biggest carps and handed them to You Qingya.

Most of the villagers in Shenshu Village are simple and honest. They know that Lao Bai's family has always had a hard time, and they can't take their fish for nothing. Besides, they just got a little girl and they have to send some blessings, right?

After the villagers returned with the fish, some took out rice noodles, some carried grain and oil, some cut vegetables, some held eggs... and gave them back to Lao Bai's family.

You come and go, the crowd disperses, and only my family is left in the Bai family's yard.

The old lady Bai began to direct the family to get busy.

"This big red carp is a spiritual one. Da Zhuang, you put it back into the river."

The old lady Bai deliberately put the red carp in a wooden basin alone. This fish is like the carp on the New Year pictures. It is impossible to kill it, so it is better to release it.

"That's good." Bai Dazhuang carried the wooden basin to release the animals.

The old lady Bai continued to make arrangements.

"Chuntao, pack some fish, let's stew them for lunch."

"Okay." Xie Chuntao went to the kitchen to get out a knife, aiming at the biggest one first.

"Da Zhuang, there are fish left that can't be eaten, you can sell them in the town tomorrow, and buy a milking sheep for your granddaughter."

Bai Muban came out of the house and said, "You don't have to wait until tomorrow to go to town. I'll go to Da Li Village next door to exchange fish for sheep while it's still early."

The old lady Bai acquiesced to her son's approach, and Da Li's family raised sheep.The little granddaughter's milk can't be weaned, so change it early and eat it early.

"Da Lang, you go to the house and bring your father's coat to your father. It's cold on the road, so put on more coats." Xie Chuntao heard that her father-in-law was going to Da Li Village, so she asked her son Da Lang to go to the house to get the coat for her father-in-law. Keep warm on the road.

The old lady Bai is very satisfied with the filial piety of the grandson's daughter-in-law.

Standing under the eaves with folded hands, You Jingui curled his lips at Xie Chuntao, cursing inwardly as a sycophant, trying to curry favor with his elders.

The eldest daughter-in-law is busy, what about the second daughter-in-law?Where did you sneak away?

The old lady Bai turned her head and caught You Jingui, who had not had time to withdraw her lips curling in the future, and pierced her eyes like knives.

"Jingui, your sister-in-law is busy, so you just stand there and watch?" Old lady Bai asked angrily.

"Grandma, I have a body..."

"Which daughter-in-law has never conceived a child? Just talk about it like you are a talisman every day."

You Jingui felt angry after being scolded by the old lady Bai.If she wanted to rest in peace, she wouldn't say a word, after all, the old lady Bai was the biggest talker in the family.

But now, she has a body, and she has a premonition that she must be a girl.You Jingui rubbed her stomach, and her daughter gave her courage.

"Grandma, it's not that I don't want to work, it's that my daughter is delicate and doesn't let me work."

You Jingui straightened out her flat stomach confidently.

The old lady Bai's eyes fell on You Jingui's stomach, and she sneered: "Have you been asked to do heavy work? Can you get tired if you hand your sister-in-law a ladle to scoop up a bowl of water? If you really want to have a daughter, I will go down and let the ancestors Please give you a seal, it depends on whether you have that blessing."

What do you mean?
Looking down on her, You Jingui's belly?

The old man is ruthless when he hates people.

Eugene Gui was so angry that he had a heart attack, he turned around and went into his own room in the side room.

There are so many people in the family, why can't we do without her.The more she was asked to work, the more she refused to do it.

She carries the daughter of Lao Bai's family in her stomach, and mother is more expensive than daughter.The mother-in-law gave birth to a daughter, and she hid in the house without revealing it. As a daughter-in-law, she followed the example, and she could not put on airs too much.

In fact, a peasant daughter-in-law is not qualified to be coquettish when she is pregnant with a child.

Still holding out my stomach, cooking and washing clothes.

Some women even gave birth to a child, and they had to go to work in the fields before confinement.

However, Lao Bai's family is different. Although they are poor, they never treat their daughter-in-law harshly.

The daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child, so try to let her rest.

Therefore, You Jingui was lazy and playful, and the old lady Bai was not very angry when she stabbed a few words.

The old lady Bai just felt that with such a busy family, it would not be too much for You Jingui to burn the firewood.But she was the only one who put on a show at every turn and pushed everything to Xie Chuntao.If you don't kill You Jingui's temperament, you might have to ride on the heads of the Bai family and act like a demon.

"Grandma, just let the siblings rest, I can do this job."

Xie Chuntao felt that the family had just had a sister-in-law, and it was embarrassing for the old and the young to make trouble because of work.

"Mother, let me light the fire." Mrs. Zhen heard her daughter-in-law and mother-in-law arguing, and came out to take the initiative to do the work.

"No, you can stay in the room with the children." The old lady Bai waved her hand and said with a look of disgust, "I'm afraid you've set the kitchen on fire."

Xie Chuntao saw her mother-in-law entering the house with a look of embarrassment.She has always found it strange that her mother-in-law is good at everything, but she is not very good at cooking, and she can't do farm work in the field.She couldn't figure out how a country woman couldn't do such a simple job. It could only be attributed to the fact that her mother-in-law was not born to work.

"Grandma, you've been busy for a long time and you should take a rest." Xie Chuntao said to old lady Bai.

"I'm not tired." The old lady Bai went to the woodshed to hold firewood.

"Da Lang, come and help mother cook the pot."

"Okay, mother."

Dalang is very obedient, and usually knows to take the initiative to help the family with work, and Xie Chuntao will sneak into the kitchen as soon as Xie Chuntao gives orders.

"Fifth brother, help sister-in-law carry water." Xie Chuntao instructed Bai Zhaomei again.

"Okay, sister-in-law."

Bai Zhaomei nodded, and picked up two buckets of water from the yard to play with.

Bai Sanlang is young, seeing everyone working, he can't lag behind, shaking his short legs to help the old lady Bai draw firewood.

The Bai family is in full swing.

Smoke rose from the kitchen, and the smell of stewed fish wafted out.
