Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 429 Wife is pregnant again

The few people who came here did have some intentions of taking advantage.

The Sheng family was killing pigs, and they came over to buy the meat. They were all neighbors. When I opened my mouth to reply, the Sheng family was so nice, why didn't they give me a cheaper price?
Who can cut meat so accurately? How dare you count the money if you have more than one, two and a half liang?
When settling the accounts, if you add a fraction, the [-] cents will be gone.

You can't do this when you go to the store. Ding is Ding Mao, and people don't bring a penny to get what they want.

Calculated inside and out, it's much cheaper than the store.

Maybe I can even get a bone or some pig blood or something.

Anyway, the old Sheng family is living a good life, and the boss of the Sheng family can make money, but this is not enough?

But with Gao Haining's voice shouting, the wishful thinking of these women was doomed to fail.

“Oh, aunts, I’m sorry, but the pig we killed today wasn’t too big, so we haven’t finished cleaning up much.

You see, Haining and the others sent half of the food to the store just now. Let's leave this for the rest. We have to leave three to five catties for each of them.

The last bit left was not enough to eat at home, so there was really no extra to take out. "

Can Sheng Xiping still guess what these people are thinking? This is because the forest farm is famous for taking advantage of others, and their little scheming is written all over their faces.

It's not that Sheng Xiping is stingy. If this is a normal favor, Sheng Xiping is absolutely unambiguous about how much he should pay or what kind of help he should do.

But these people didn't take advantage enough. Even though they took advantage, they didn't say good things about others, and secretly laughed at them for being stupid.

Sheng Xiping didn't like trading with these people, it was not annoying enough, so he flatly refused the other party's request to buy meat.

When the ladies heard what Sheng Xiping said, their expressions turned ugly.

"Xiping, look at what you said, isn't it just about how many kilograms of meat you have? Why don't you guys eat less and give us a few kilograms evenly?
We all live next to each other, and we can’t see each other without looking up. You can be regarded as someone we have grown up watching.

When the aunts talk back, you don't even give them any face? Too stingy? "The Zhang family's mother-in-law was unhappy and said with curled lips.

"Don't talk about that. Several kilograms of meat were fed by our family from dawn to dusk.

My two grandsons both know how to gather vegetables and feed them to pigs. Only when the pigs are grown can they eat meat.

If you want to eat pork, you can raise it at home, or you can go to the store to buy it. If you have a red mouth and white teeth, let others eat less. Why?

We work hard to raise pigs just to eat meat. Why should we eat less?

That won't work. I have to leave more for my little grandson. My grandson loves to eat meat, so he doesn't want to feed the pig less. He has his share. "

When Zhang Shuzhen saw this situation, she hurriedly came over and pulled Sheng Xiping up so that she could fight with these women.

Zhang Shuzhen is a good-tempered person. She rarely gets into arguments with others on weekdays. She is always smiling and seems to be easy to talk to.

But the clay figurines also have a three-point earthy nature. They are good to others, and they also score points.

Some people cannot respect you and give in. If you give in to them, they will feel that it is their turn.

Therefore, Zhang Shuzhen came over and fought back without mercy, leaving those women speechless.

At this time, Wang Jianshe and others also came over to smooth things over.

"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Li, just now Haining and Wei Guo sent a fan of pork to the store. If you want to eat it, go to the store and buy it.

If you go now, you have to rush. If it's too late, people will rob them all. "

"That's right, hurry up and go to the store before it's too late. This pig has just been killed and is fresh. It's much better than the one shipped back from the Songjiang River by the store."

Zhang Zhijun and Pan Fusheng were talking as they pushed the women out.

Just like that, the women were still in a daze and were pushed by Zhang Zhijun and others, and they couldn't help but come out of the Sheng family courtyard.

"It's true, the richer you are, the more stingy you are. Isn't it just a matter of a few kilograms of meat? Who can't afford it?"

After walking out of the Sheng family gate, a few people realized what was going on. They were so annoyed that they stood on the road outside and shouted loudly.

In the courtyard of the Sheng family, everyone was laughing and joking. Who cares what people outside said?
Zhang Shuzhen directed her son to chop up the remaining meat, remove the big bones, and put it in the pot for a while.

There is no sauerkraut at this time, so Zhang Shuzhen plans to have big bones with soy sauce. Anyway, she can eat anything. Eat more meat and save food, the same.

Clean the pig's head, pig's trotters, and pig's tail and put them in the big pot.

There will be no blood sausage filling today. The pig intestines will be put aside for now and will be cleaned up later.

The remaining pig hearts, livers, and lungs were also cleaned, blanched in water, added with various seasonings, and boiled in a pot.

For a time, the small courtyard of the Sheng family had all kinds of flavors.

The lunch meal was a little late, it was not served until almost two o'clock.

There are no vegetables at this time of spring. Besides, who would eat vegetables after killing pigs?
Put the big bones in the sauce basin and put them on the top. Cut the pork head, pork liver, pig heart, etc. and put them on the plate and eat them with garlic sauce.

When the pork skin is browned to a certain extent, add water several times to cool it, then cut it into strips and mix well with chili oil, minced garlic, salt, MSG and other seasonings. It tastes very chewy, and the more you chew it, the better it tastes.

Lean tenderloin, cut into shreds and stir-fried with soybean paste, pick some sprouted green onions from the ground, wash them, and serve with a plate of dried tofu.

When eating, roll the shredded pork and green onions into the dry tofu, take a bite, and it is delicious when eaten.

No other dishes are needed, just these are enough to satisfy a person.

Not to mention, Zhang Shuzhen and the others also made dishes such as fried pork blood tofu with chili peppers, stewed dried beans with pork belly, etc., and set up a table.

Sheng Liancheng and Liu Changde, Zheng Xianyong, Zhao Limin, Chen Shiliang, Gao Daqiang and others were sitting on the kang, Sheng Xiping and his group of buddies were at the table on the floor, and Zhang Shuzhen, Qin Qiuyan and others were leading the children in the west room.

On Saturday, Sheng Yunfang and the others were still in class. At noon, the children came back and gnawed some bones or something, and then went to school after taking a casual bite.

Zhang Shuzhen specially left some food for them to wait for when they came back from school.

At the beginning of spring, everyone's stomachs are empty. After eating this pig-killing vegetable, everyone's mouth is oily and they feel happy.

Zheng Xianyong kept praising Sheng Liancheng and his wife for their ability to live well, planting several acres of land, and raising a lot of pigs and chickens at home.

"Just tell me, among all the families in our forest farm, who is prospering like yours?"

"Your eldest son can make money, is well-motivated at work, and has a good husband. He takes care of him and trains him in everything he does.

As long as he works hard, his future will definitely be good.

Not to mention the second and third children in your family, college students, all have good jobs after graduation.

Four and five will take the college entrance examination this year, right? I heard that they are also very good at studying.

Principal Wang often praises us in front of us, saying that we don’t know how the Lao Sheng family raises children who are all promising. "

Zheng Xianyong drank some wine and was not drunk, but his voice was a bit high.

"Brother Sheng, you have a good life. You have such good sons and daughters. You can enjoy the blessings in the future."

Zheng Xianyong's words reached everyone's heart. Zhao Limin, Gao Daqiang and others all said in unison.

Sheng Liancheng had drunk some wine and was already a little confused, and he felt even more dizzy after being treated like this by everyone.

The grin reached to the base of the ears and could not be closed.

"After all, the eldest son of our family has the ability to marry a good wife. A good wife will bring prosperity to three generations. This is true."

"Yes, yes, yes, what I said makes sense. Teacher Zhou is indeed very powerful. Principal Wang always praises her."

Sheng Liancheng's words were recognized by everyone, who nodded repeatedly.

Being a teacher is a very respected profession, and most of the forest farm workers are old men, but in their simple concept, respecting teachers is the principle of life.

Everyone respects the profession of teachers from the bottom of their hearts.

Everyone was chatting, drinking and eating, and the excitement lasted until almost four o'clock, when they dispersed.

Before leaving, Sheng Xiping left a piece of meat for each of them.

Zheng Xianyong and the others said they didn't want anything. It's not easy to kill a pig these days. How could they have the nerve to eat and take it?

It's good to have a meal in a hurry, but I'm too embarrassed to take the meat back.

No matter what Sheng Xiping said, everyone refused to take the meat home. Sheng Xiping had no choice but to send it outside and watch them leave.

After everyone left, Zhang Shuzhen and Sheng Xiping tidied up everything inside and outside the house.

"Mom, there is so much meat left, what do you plan to do with it?" Sheng Xiping looked at the remaining meat and asked Zhang Shuzhen.

"Didn't you say you want to stuff some intestines into Qinglan's mouth? Just leave a piece of meat in the front tank.

I packed up the rest and buried it in the big snowdrift behind the house. I guess it can survive for a while. Marinate some more and keep it for later eating. "

I was too busy during the day and had not had time to fill the sausages. Zhang Shuzhen planned to do it later.

In the forest farm in mid-April, it was quite warm during the day, but quite cool in the morning and at night.

The snow on the sunny slopes of the mountain has also melted, but not on the shady slopes.

There is a large snowdrift behind the Sheng family house, which is blocked by the house. Only a small part of it has melted now.

Zhang Shuzhen meant to bury the meat under the snowdrift. Considering the current temperature, it would be no problem to keep it there for another ten or eight days. The remaining meat is salted and eaten slowly, and it will last for a long time.

"Yeah, okay." Sheng Xiping nodded. Without a refrigerator, that's all.

In fact, there are already refrigerators on sale these days, but they are expensive and cannot be found in ordinary places. They are only supplied to big cities.

While shopping in a department store in the provincial capital, Sheng Xiping saw one at the home appliance counter, but when he thought about it carefully, Qianchuan Forest Farm still supplied power until nine o'clock at night and no power during the day.

If we get a refrigerator and it cools it for three hours at night, and the power goes out for more than ten hours during the day, isn't it a joke?
Therefore, Sheng Xiping didn't have any thoughts.

After the two women discussed it, they started to pack the pig intestines and prepare to make sausages.

After turning the pig intestines over and cleaning them, scrape off the layer of fat inside, leaving only a thin layer.

Chop the fat and lean pork belly into pieces, add seasonings and flour, mix well, and use a funnel to fill the thin casing with meat.

After filling, tie the mouth, steam it in a pot, and then dry it for a day and a half.

This is the sausage that Zhou Qinglan and Zhou Qingyue both praised as delicious. Zhang Shuzhen and the others learned the craft from Chef Li in the forest farm canteen.

Of course, I have only learned it half-heartedly. Anyway, for people of this age, as long as it is meat, it will be delicious no matter how you cook it. After finishing their work, Sheng Xiping and Zhang Shuzhen put part of the meat outside.

At this time, the temperature at night is not as good as in winter. The meat is half frozen in one night. It is frozen hard on the outside but still soft on the inside.

There's nothing we can do about it, it's just the weather.

At five o'clock in the morning, the mother-in-law dug a hole under the snowdrift behind the house, buried the meat under the snowdrift, and covered it again.

The family killed a pig, and after deducting half of the price from selling it and the cost of entertaining guests, there was still a lot of meat left.

The Sheng family ate several meals in a row, and then made steamed buns. Anyway, Zhang Shuzhen was making food in different ways.

If a person eats a lot of oil and water, his stomach will be strong, and he will have strength to work.

Mr. and Mrs. Sheng Liancheng began to dig corn fences in the fields and clean and plow the ground. Now, the Sheng family already has four or five acres of land, which is all wasteland picked up here and there.

Sheng Lian originally wanted to open a piece of land this year, but Sheng Xiping stopped him.

Why do you need so much land? The fourth and fifth children will take the exams soon, and this is the only one in the family.

Nowadays, life is better, there is no shortage of meat, and there is no one to eat at home. If the food supply is slightly supplemented, it will be enough. Why bother to plant so much and suffer hardships?
Sheng Liancheng thought for a long time and felt that what his son said made sense, so he simply stopped clearing wasteland and only kept these few acres of land for good care.

After Zhang Shuzhen filled the sausages and steamed them, she hung them up to dry for two days. Then Sheng Xiping took a car to Songjiang River and sent an express package to Zhou Qinglan.

In May, the forest farm is the busiest time due to reforestation and forest protection and fire prevention.

The processing plant stopped working, and more than 100 workers all went up the mountain. The women participated in afforestation, and the young men guarded the forest and prevented fires.

Maekawa Elementary and Middle School remained as usual. Except for the students in the third grade of junior high school and the second grade of high school, all went to the mountains to plant trees.

Sheng Yunfang and others passed the pre-examination, then went to the Forestry Bureau Staff Hospital for a physical examination, and began to fill in the application form after returning.

Nowadays, it is still practiced to apply for the college entrance examination before the college entrance examination. Students can only make a rough estimate of the application based on the results of the pre-examination and the preliminary examination.

Sister Sheng Yunfang is timid and does not dare to repay too high.

It was Sheng Xiping who encouraged them to apply for their first choice based on their usual grades and improve a little bit, so that they would be the kind of school that is within reach.

"Better report. We're lucky if we pass the exam. It doesn't matter if we don't. The worst we can do is go back and study for a year. Brother, I'll help you."

Sheng Xiping's words gave the two sisters the confidence to apply for the exam, so the two girls gritted their teeth and applied for the exam.

Around the 20th of May, afforestation and fire prevention were completed one after another, and immediately after that, it was time to start work.

On this day, Sheng Xiping received a call from the provincial capital. It was Zhou Qinglan.

"Xiping, I have it again." Zhou Qinglan said happily on the other end of the phone.

"What the hell? Wife, can you say it again?" When Sheng Xiping heard this, his head almost exploded.

Got a wife again? What did you have before? What's happening here? impossible?

"I said, I have it again. I was supposed to have it at the beginning of the month, but it hasn't come yet.

I just went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor said I was pregnant. "

Zhou Qinglan's voice on the phone was vaguely different, as if she was speaking through gritted teeth.

"You forgot about your visit to the provincial capital last month, right? Sheng Xiping, do you want to admit it?"

After saying this, Sheng Xiping remembered.

Last month, I went to the provincial capital for a meeting. On the night I arrived in the provincial capital, I had dinner at Chen Ruiqing's house. Sheng Xiping drank some wine.

After returning to the hotel in the evening, the couple, who had not been together for a long time, spent half the night.

Damn, is this too damn accurate? Just that one time, you got pregnant?

In fact, after Zhou Qinglan gave birth to Sheng Xinyu, she went to the hospital to get a ring.

But she has a sensitive constitution, and the inflammation has been very serious since wearing the ring. She has backache and stomachache all day long, and she always bleeds. She was not clean for a long time during her period.

It happened that Zhou Qinglan was admitted to university. Before leaving, she went to the hospital to take out the ring again.

After that, Zhou Qinglan went to school outside and went back during the winter and summer vacations every year. When the two of them were together, they took measures and were very careful.

But that night, Sheng Xiping drank some wine and was too excited to think about anything else. Unexpectedly, she became pregnant like this.

"Daughter-in-law, listen to me, we can't have this child." Sheng Xiping scratched his hair and said with a distressed look on his face.

"One is that you are still studying. You said you are pregnant and have a baby at this time. What will you do with your homework? The impact will not be good.

Secondly, what year has this been? They all advocate having one child.

We already have two sons. If you want another one, will it affect your graduation allocation? "

Starting in [-], superiors began to advocate that couples should only have one child.

Newlyweds and couples with childbearing potential are encouraged to have only one child, obtain an only-child certificate, and receive financial incentives.

In September 1980, a document was issued calling on leading cadres and Communist Youth League members to actively respond to superior policies.

Relatively speaking, the control is not so strict at the moment, and it has not developed to the point of being a demonic obstacle.

But Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan have already given birth to two children, and now they want a third child, which obviously does not meet the requirements.

This would be easy to say in rural areas, where village cadres would turn a blind eye and settle down.

But Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan are both from the forestry farm, and Zhou Qinglan is still a college student. They want to have a child now. Isn't this nonsense?

Sheng Xiping didn't care. He didn't really care whether he worked or not.

But Zhou Qinglan is different. She finally got into college and was about to be assigned a job after finishing her studies. How about giving birth to a child at this time? What kind of international joke are you kidding?
Even if other factors are not considered, which unit is willing to have a pregnant woman?
Co-author: You just started working, and you immediately asked for leave to go home to confine yourself to give birth to your baby? Isn't this noisy?
"Sheng Xiping, what are you talking about? I've been looking forward to having another daughter. It's not like you don't know, but you still advise me not to?

Now that you said no, what did you do that night? Why didn't you think about it at the time? "On the other end of the phone, Zhou Qinglan was angry.

"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, listen to me, I am doing it for your own good, I really do it for your own good.

Can you think about this carefully? I also look forward to having a daughter, but this is not the time. "

Sheng Xiping was so worried that he almost had a lot of hair pulled out.

"Be obedient, don't delay your own future for the sake of a child. This is your lifetime responsibility. What will you do if you regret it in the future?"

Sheng Xiping really thought about his wife.

In fact, even if Zhou Qinglan doesn't go to work, Sheng Xiping can still support his wife, children and children.

But in that case, wouldn't Zhou Qinglan's university studies be in vain? Then why did she go through all the trouble to get into college?
To be honest, I could become a regular teacher at the Maekawa Forestry Farm. The two of them took advantage of the absence of such things in the past two years to have a child. Not to mention the third child, a fourth child would be no problem.

Now, the key is that the situation is different. If we have children at this time, isn't it just looking for trouble?

"I won't tell you anymore. I'll tell my parents later."

Zhou Qinglan didn't know whether she was having a bad temper because of her pregnancy or because she was being aggressive. She couldn't listen to what Sheng Xiping said and hung up the phone directly.

Sheng Xiping was dumbfounded when he heard the beeping on the phone.

This bitch has gone to college since then and has a good temper. She even hung up on him.

Sheng Xiping thought for a while and decided to go home and discuss it with his mother. If that didn't work, he would take time off to ask for leave and go to the provincial capital.

This is not a joke. You are such a grown-up person, how can you let your temper lead you to fool around?

"Mom, Dad, I have something to discuss with you."

When Sheng Xiping entered the house, Sheng Liancheng and his wife were planting vegetables in the garden.

Sheng Xiping opened the small door on the edge of the garden stick and walked in. He scratched his head and didn't know how to speak.

"What happened? Looking at you like this, what trouble did you encounter?" Sheng Liancheng was stunned for a moment when he saw the sad look on his eldest son's face and asked casually.

"Dad, Mom, Qinglan called just now and said she was pregnant." Sheng Xiping scratched his head and said with a look on his face.

"Ah? Yes? What happened a while ago? How many months has it been? She will go back to school after the new year. It has been a few months. How can it happen?"

Zhang Shuzhen and Sheng Liancheng were both confused after hearing this.

"Just, last time I went to the provincial capital, we were together one night, and she got pregnant."

Even discussing these things with my biological parents is too embarrassing. Even though Sheng Xiping was thick-skinned, he couldn't stand it now.

"What the hell? Sheng Xiping, I think you just deserve a beating."

Zhang Shuzhen, who has always been good-tempered, immediately became angry after hearing what her son said. She picked up the wooden stick next to her and was about to beat her son with it.

"Don't you know when it is? With half a year left, Qinglan will be assigned a job after graduation.

If you get her pregnant at this time, aren't you causing trouble? Is she going to college? No more work? "

Sheng Xiping couldn't really stand there and let his mother beat him. When he saw his mother coming over with a stick, he ran away.

"Mom, how old am I and you still beat me? What would you say if Xinyu saw it?"

"You still know how old you are? I think you are just old, not smart.

If you don't do good things day by day, if I don't beat you, who will I beat? "Zhang Shuzhen was about to chase her eldest son away with a stick.

On the other end, Sheng Liancheng sighed, grabbed his wife, stretched out his hand to grab the stick and threw it away.

"Oh my God, you are getting older and your temper is getting worse. Why are you still beating your son with a stick?
Are you afraid that others won't know what's going on? And spread it all over the world? "

While Sheng Liancheng was talking, he looked around at the neighbors and saw that no one was in the yard next to him, so he felt relieved.

"Let's go, let's go back to the house. Let's go back to the house and talk about it. What's the matter that we can't sit down and discuss slowly?
Can you solve the problem by giving your son a good beating? "Sheng Liancheng softened his tone and coaxed Zhang Shuzhen.

Just like that, the three of them came out of the vegetable garden and went back to the east room to sit down.

"What does Qinglan mean? Does she want it or not?" After entering the room, Zhang Shuzhen gouged out Sheng Xiping's eyes and asked.

　I'll try my best to adjust it back and update it at night. Mainly because I haven’t been feeling well these past few days, and there are too many things going on, so I can’t write much. Anyway, there are no special circumstances. Try to keep it the same as before. If there is any change in the update time, I will let you know in advance.
