The fertile farm girl in the portable space

Chapter 11 A farce caused by a bowl of fish soup ([-])

"I heard that my elder sister gave birth to a daughter. My mother is very happy. She is not in good health, so she asked me to come and see my elder sister."

"Oh, it's inside the house. Wait. I'll call for you." The old lady put down her sewing work, stood up, walked to the window of the west room, and called out, "Ru Xian's daughter-in-law, your natal family Someone is coming!"

"Wait a minute, come out right away." When Chen heard the familiar voice of her younger brother Chen Zhu, she felt excited. When she was not married at home, she had always been close to this younger brother. The sister Feng's relationship is very good.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly helped Xiangcai dry her body with a coarse cloth towel, wrapped her in swaddling clothes, and carried her out.

"sister!"

"Pillar!"

Seeing her long-lost brother, Chen was very excited.

"Sister—why have you lost weight?" Chen Zhu saw that his sister had lost weight, and his nose ached.

"It doesn't matter, it's not about tossing about raw coriander. As the saying goes, a son is born, and a mother is killed." Chen's eyes warmed up when he heard his younger brother's kind words.

The old lady glanced at Chen Zhu with some dissatisfaction, then sat down and continued to mend.But I thought in my heart, what does it mean to be thin, what do you mean by this, didn't you say it to my old lady, and blame my Hai family for losing her?She was originally an unlucky person, with no flesh and blood, and she was like a bamboo pole when she got married.It's not like Mrs. Liu, she is a lucky person at first glance, and she is sure to be prosperous. Didn't she see her life in a hurry?

"Coriander? Sis, is this my little niece?" Chen Zhu looked at the coriander in Chen's arms. Although she was not fat, her big eyes were slick, and she was very airy.

"En. How is it? Do you like it?" Mrs. Chen nodded with a smile.

"Well. Sister, can you not like it? Come, coriander, uncle hug." Chen Zhu put down the net bag, leaned the cloth against the door, smiled and hugged coriander, coriander stretched out his little hand "giggle" and jumped on it In his arms, Chen Zhu narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Oh, sister... This little girl has amazing eyes, she seems to understand what we are saying!"

"That's right, Coriander is so well-behaved." In front of her younger brother, Chen Shi even talked a little too much, she said with a smile: "It's when she was born, I'm sorry!"

"Hey, sister, I won't have children in the future. Look at you, you're so skinny, you're going to suffer! I don't know how to make my mother feel bad when I see you." Chen Zhu said loudly: "Anyway, there are coriander!"

"Cough...cough cough..." The old lady's complexion changed, and she coughed heavily.

Surprised in Chen's heart, she hurriedly rolled her eyes at Chen Zhu.The old lady has always wanted a son, and she was not happy when she gave birth to coriander. She said that she would not continue to have a son, and she was even more annoyed at herself. In the end, she was the one who was unlucky. Chen secretly groaned in her heart, this silly brother, has not changed at all , is still an open mouth.

Although Chen Zhu was straight, he was not stupid. He looked at his sister, and then at the old lady's face. He could guess what was going on. It was nothing more than his suspicion that his sister hadn't given birth to a boy.He was young and energetic, and he was about to explode immediately with a snort. Mrs. Chen hurriedly grabbed him, smacked him secretly with her elbow, and said affectionately: "My good brother, come to see my sister, are you thirsty? Go sit in my sister's room. Have a cup of tea before leaving."

Chen Zhu was not a reckless person either, he knew that it would be difficult to make a scene if Sister was caught in the middle, so he complied.

"Oh, yes, sister! I caught some fish from the river in our village and brought them to you to make fresh fish soup for you to drink. It's good for your health! And my mother asked me to bring you a flower cloth, saying It’s a piece of clothing for you and Wa’er, and I’ll bring it for you. Where do you think this fish is kept?”

"Just keep it in the water tank." Mrs. Chen carried the coriander over and pouted towards the large water tank outside the kitchen.

Chen Zhu picked up the fish in the net, walked to the side of the water tank, opened the wooden cover on the water tank, and with a shake of the net, seven or eight crucian carps one inch long jumped into the water happily, splashing the cool water.

Coriander "babbled" in Chen's arms, and stretched out her fleshy little hands towards the water tank.

Wow... Wild crucian carp... I really want to drink fresh fish soup.

Both Chen Shi and Chen Zhu were amused by the cute little appearance of Coriander.

"Sister, this little guy loves fish just like you!" Chen Zhu scratched the tip of Coriander's nose with a smile, and Coriander grinned sweetly at him.

"No, let's go in, Zhuzi." Mrs. Chen carried the coriander into the room. Chen Zhu glanced at the old lady, and saw that she just lowered her head to mend without raising her eyelids. Follow Chen into the house.

"Oops." The old lady was angry, she accidentally pricked her thumb with a needle, and a drop of blood came out. She rubbed it on her trousers indiscriminately, raised her head, and said "bah" fiercely in the direction of Westinghouse a mouthful.

Chen put the coriander on the bed, brought a bowl of tea, and put it on the wooden table in front of Chen Zhu.

"Drink, sister, there's nothing nice to greet you here. Just make do with it." Chen said with a bit of sadness.

"Look at what you said, sister." Chen Zhu sat down on the only long bench in the room, and said with a smile, "That's a lot to say, and I'm not an outsider. I'm your brother."

"The color of this calico is really good. The material is also good." Mrs. Chen sat down, and with her rough and chapped palms due to years of hard work, she gently stroked the piece of calico placed on the edge of the bed.The floral cloth has a white and blue background, it looks elegant and elegant, but it feels smooth and soft to the touch, much better than the sackcloth Chen Shi is wearing.

"That's not true. It was a gift from my uncle's house. My mother was reluctant to wear it, so she asked me to bring it to you, and told me to cut a new dress for you and my baby."

"Then it's no wonder, my uncle's family is well-off, can he still have something to do?" Mrs. Chen smiled, her hand seemed to have taken root, and she was reluctant to leave the piece of calico.When I unfolded it, it was a full eight feet long, enough to pull a piece of clothing for myself and Coriander.

"Sister, it's time for you to pull some clothes." Chen Zhu frowned as he looked at the clothes on Chen's body, and said distressedly: "Look at the clothes on your body, how old is it? Brother-in-law, too, my mother was Seeing his honesty, he agreed to promise you to him, now it seems that he doesn't know how to love others?"

Mrs. Chen lowered her head to look at the clothes on her body. This dress was made when she was married. It has been worn for three years. It has long been out of shape. There was a small tear in the thread and several patches were sewn.

"This poor family lives like this. My silly brother." Chen smiled wryly, "I can't compare to being at home. You have also seen the recent situation of sister's house."

"Hmph. Can this family not be poor?" Chen Zhu said angrily, "Brother-in-law doesn't go to work in the field all day long. Now it's the season of planting rice seedlings, but he went to the field to plant a few seedlings?"

"Hush——" Chen put her fingers up to her lips, and pouted outward, "Take it easy. Are you afraid that the old lady can't hear why? Think she's deaf? Her ears are better than yours."
