Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 87 What Jin Xi Overheard
Chapter 87 What Jin Xi Overheard
The snow was not heavy this time, like catkins fluttering and fluttering in March, and it took three full days to stop it. The towering green mountains on all sides seemed to be sealed by white wax, and the world in the ravine was covered in silver. Plain wrap.

The snow in the yard of Sun Yuxia's house is almost half a foot thick, and it creaks when stepped on.

As soon as the snow stopped, Sun Dahu came over with a shovel and shoveled all the snow from the yard of Jinxiga's house to the sides and piled it against the wall, and shoveled a clean road in the middle, leading directly to the gate of the yard.In order to prevent slippery roads in the snow, he also sprinkled some wood chips and gravel on it.

The branches of the osmanthus tree in the yard and the old maple tree outside the yard were all bent down by the snow, and when a gust of wind passed, the snow fell.The roof is also white, as if covered with a thick snow quilt, and there are strings of crystal clear ice edges hanging under the eaves, reflecting colorful splendor in the thin sunlight after the snow and early sunshine.

At this time, the children in the village are the happiest, playing snowball fights, chasing in the snow, drawing all kinds of footprints...

Gapo forbade Jinrou to play under the maple tree, fearing that the falling snow would hit her, so Jinxi took Jinrou with her, and the two sisters wore thick cotton clothes, and built a snowman in the yard.

The eyes are two round black dried straw mushrooms, a white radish is stuck in the nose, and a broken straw hat is on the snowman's head. Jinxi uses Yang Hongshi under the snowman's nose to outline a picture with a few strokes. Zhang smirked.

Such a naive snowman appeared in the yard, Jinrou was overjoyed to see it, jumping and screaming excitedly around the snowman.

Before noon, Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun also rushed back from the back mountain tea garden. Mrs. Sun's face was flushed because of rushing on the way. I don't know if it was Jin Xi's illusion. They haven't seen each other for three days, but Mrs. Sun looked at her whole When she woke up, her face seemed to be much more radiant than before, and every frown and smile revealed the unique taste of this mature young woman.Especially when he and Liang Yuzhong looked at each other, Jin Xi caught the flash of water in her eyes, and Liang Yuzhong also looked radiant!

It turns out that the harmony of yin and yang has such a magical effect?In her last life, Jin Xi had always been resistant to love, such as first kiss, touching, XXOO, all of which were only seen in novels.

She couldn't help flirting with this pair of cheap parents again in her heart, if there is really a god, please forgive me this time!

The tea gardens in Houshan can be picked three times in winter.After the snow stopped, Jin Xi's family started frying the first batch of winter tea according to the original plan, and sent them to the Tea Fragrance Pavilion on the appointed day of the winter solstice.

The snow has melted, and the road surface is no longer muddy and slippery after being exposed to the sun for the past few days.

Tomorrow is the winter solstice. According to the customs and habits of this area, on the day of the winter solstice, every household will make glutinous rice balls to eat.

Sun Yuxia's family also made glutinous rice balls during the winter solstice in previous years, but they were just a little bit of glutinous rice flour, with a little bit of sugar in it, to wrap a few meanings.It's not bad if no one of the three people can eat five or six.

But this year is quite different, not to mention that everyone can eat to their fullness, the important thing is that this year's glutinous rice ball filling, Jinxi used crushed black sesame seeds, mixed with white sugar to make the stuffing, to add some flavor , Jin Xi also added a little osmanthus froth in it.

The glutinous rice balls are big and round, white and tender like porcelain, and when boiled in a boiling water pot, they look like fresh lychees with their peels peeled off.

The cauldron inside was half boiled, and Jinrou ate a round stomach, and the others had a good time. Sun Dahu and Mr. Sun also invited them over to eat together, and Mrs. Sun even filled a few bowls , sent to a few close relatives in the village, and gave the dolls of those families a fresh taste.

Because Sun Yubao and Sun Erhu stayed in the shop and couldn't come back, Sun and the others made the glutinous rice balls overnight, wrapped up Sun Yubao's and Sun Erhu's portions, put them in a large bowl with a tiled lid, and waited Tomorrow, Liang Yuzhong and Jin Xi will bring them to town when they go to town.

The big guys have realized once what they could only imagine in their hearts for so many years, and that is to eat well.Even Gapo ate a big bowl, if it wasn't for the digestive problems of the elderly, she would eat it again.

Jin Xi herself also ate a lot, this feeling of living a good life relying on the hard work of herself and her family is really intoxicating.

"Father was still alive that year, and he came back from the town during the winter solstice. He brought such a small bowl of glutinous rice balls. I will never forget the fragrance." Everyone else went to the main room to eat glutinous rice balls. Holding the glutinous rice balls in his hand, he talked to Mrs. Sun: "My parents are reluctant to eat them, so we keep our three siblings. I remember that I only ate two, and I am reluctant to eat any more. It tastes good... Later, when the Winter Solstice comes I just thought, if at some point, I can eat this glutinous rice balls, it will be a day of immortality..."

Mrs. Sun's words brought back memories of Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun looked at Mrs. Sun with pity: "Yuzhen, you are the elder sister. You have been sensible since you were young, and you can give everything to your younger siblings , We are parents, seeing that you are the boss, you are assigned to everything, and you are partial to the younger ones. You have been with us for all those years, but you have not let you live a good life! God has eyes, your daughter If you are promising, we will all enjoy the blessings, Yuzhen, you are a person with future blessings!"

"I just want Xi'er and Rou'er to be healthy and grow up safe and sound. Watching them find a good husband's family, not to mention being in charge of the family, at least not being worthless like me, then my life will be considered complete." , and nothing else.”

"I don't allow you to talk about yourself like that!" Mrs. Sun bluffed: "Why are you so useless? It's not that I am your mother, you are the flesh that fell from me, so I will boast!"

"Tell me about your appearance and character. You are one of the most beautiful girls in Jinji Mountain and Changqiao Town, not to mention our Sunjiagou! How do you lag behind others? When you get along with your sister-in-law, you have never blushed. Now, Xi'er is fighting for you like this. The more loyal and honest, skilled in craftsmanship, the more she knows how to love you. You said, why did you just Unpromising? You should stand up straighter than everyone else!"

Sun lowered her eyes, her expression darkened a bit: "But mother, I am good at everything, but there is one thing, I was compared by them..."

Mrs. Sun froze for a moment, followed by looking at Mrs. Sun's abdomen, her eyebrows frowned.

Lowering his voice, he asked, "Why, since the kid behind Darou'er died young, your stomach has been quiet all these years?"

Mrs. Sun shook her head, turned her face to the side, no matter how good the glutinous rice balls were in her mouth, she couldn't chew them.

Mrs. Sun sighed, and stroked Mrs. Sun's head: "My little grandson, whom I haven't met yet, has no fate with us! Silly girl, it's been a few years, and that child has already been reincarnated. I can't let it go!"

Mrs. Sun nodded silently and remained silent.

"Your body is getting thinner than before. I'm afraid that because your grandson is gone that time, Yu Zhong's mother didn't show you any good face. Although you didn't let you go to work in the fields outside, you still have to drag your body to take care of it during the confinement period." The food of the whole family, women's confinement is a hurdle, and your bones will suffer a lot at that time, so you have never been pregnant."

"What do you want me to say, when Yu Zhong and the others go to the town tomorrow, you will go with them, ask the doctor in the town to take a good look at them, and prescribe some medicine when you come back?"

"Mother, let's forget it tomorrow, Xi'er and the others are sending tea, why should I go to see a doctor? This is really unlucky!"

"You silly girl..."

"Mother, I have a sense of my own affairs, so don't worry about me any more, ah! It's time for Rou'er to find you, so hurry up and go to the main room, I'll take care of it here! After saying that, Mrs. Sun picked up the bowl and began to eat in small bites.

"It's good that you know it in your heart, but mother also wants to tell you, don't be too demanding in everything, don't you sing about it in the drama, sometimes you have to have something in your life, and there is always time in your life, don't force it? I see, you One Xi'er is worth ten other sons!"

"Having such a pair of daughters, mother, I am really content, even if I don't have a son, I am content, really!" Thinking of her pair of daughters, the smile on her face finally dispelled the previous cloud.

Jin Xi hurried to the backyard quietly before Ga Po walked out of the kitchen door.

She chatted and laughed with Jin Rou and the others in the main room, eating glutinous rice balls, the sugar water in it splashed on her face, Jin Xi then went to the kitchen to get water to wash off.At the door, I heard her mother and Gapo talking.

It seemed that it had something to do with Sun's pregnancy, so Jin Xi stood at the door for a while, so she listened to their conversation.

While washing her face by the stream in the backyard, Jin Xi thought to herself, in this ancient era when unfilialism was the most common thing, especially in rural big families, even if they didn’t have enough to eat, many families would try hard to create human beings. Especially to build one with a handle.

Among Sun's two daughters, Jinrou, the youngest, is seven years old. It is reasonable to say that there should be more children in the future, but they are gone.This is what Jin Xi is a little puzzled about. Tonight, Jin Xi roughly understands what was said in the kitchen.

It wasn't that Mrs. Sun didn't want to have a baby, but that the younger brother behind her and Rou'er died. On the one hand, Mrs. Sun was in grief, and on the other hand, she was harshly treated by the old Liang family, and she suffered great physical and psychological trauma. Infertility.

Jin Xi was rubbing the fragrant soap on the palms and backs of both hands in turns, thinking, although the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, although Sun is very satisfied with the current situation, but in this era, from Sun's point of view, No matter how promising a girl is, in the deepest part of her heart, she longs to have a son. Having sons and daughters, Gao Tang is alive and well. In this era, she will be regarded as a blessed person.

The last time Liang Lihui's fiancée, Mrs. Hong, came over to make some offerings for the ancestors. Jinxi clearly remembered that Mrs. Sun was in charge of cooking the dishes at the banquet, but Mrs. Tan called out the names of the few offerings and even ordered the meals. The second mother, Yang, who is not yet cooked, will make it.

Just because Yang has sons and daughters, her mother's family and her in-law's family, her parents Gaotang are still alive, no matter how lazy she is, she will be looked down upon by Tan, but Tan admits that Yang is a Quanfu person.No matter how capable and virtuous Mrs. Sun is, it is also a bad luck.

Mrs. Sun is a typical rural woman in the old society, and the ideas she instilled are also the characteristics of this era. No wonder Mrs. Sun has always been so docile to the point of bowing her knees in Lao Liang's house. Jin Xi thought it was because of her soft personality at first, but later she She thought it was because she did not have a strong natal family support, but now, she finally understands that there are all these reasons, besides, the biggest and most critical reason is that the Sun family did not give birth to a grandson for the Liang family!
Who said women are inferior to men?Jin Xi secretly sighs, Jin Xi is proud of being born as a woman, she firmly believes that she will be outstanding and not lose to men!

But the sorrow of this great era cannot be changed by her own efforts.

Jin Xi washed off the soap scum in her hands, dried her hands, and walked back as if nothing had happened, but a thought had already sprouted in her mind.
