The fertile farm girl in the portable space

Chapter 9

In the afternoon, Xiangcai woke up after taking a nap, feeling a lot more energetic, and there was an unknown sound of "bang bang" in the yard outside, and Xiangcai was woken up by this sound.Coriander wanted to go out to have a look, but was trapped in the baby's little body, unable to move.

Mrs. Chen was grinding rice noodles outside, with her sleeves rolled up, sweating from her brow. When she came in, she saw that Xiangcai had woken up. She picked her up and shook her, and said with a smile, "Good boy, are you hungry? Mother You have cooked something good. Let's go and take you to eat."

Coriander is curious, what can Chen make for himself?

In the yard, Hai Rui was repairing the wooden door of the yard with tools borrowed from the old dealer.Although there is nothing in the family that is worried about by thieves, Hai Rui is a practical person, and he feels uncomfortable not doing what he thinks of, which is stuck in his heart.Mrs. Chen left the Westinghouse with coriander, went to the kitchen, took a bowl of boiled warm rice paste, and began to feed the coriander.Mrs. Chen ground the rice flour very finely, and boiled it with water to make a thin, fragrant and soft rice paste.I ate the coriander in one bite, and it was really fragrant and delicious. In fact, there was nothing in the rice porridge, and there was only a faint fragrance of rice, but I was very hungry, and it was delicious.After drinking the bowl of coriander, I immediately felt that my stomach was fuller.Mrs. Chen lovingly wiped the coriander, and went out of the house with the coriander in her arms.

Mrs. Chen walked over with the coriander in her arms, and said, "Ru Xian, what are you doing?"

"This door is broken, repair it." Hai Rui focused on repairing the door without raising his eyelids.

Coriander in her arms stuck out her tongue at her father and rolled her eyes.It's a pity that Hai Rui lowered his head and was driving a nail hard into the door, but he didn't see it.

"Ru Xian, Mrs. Liu next door came over this morning."

"Oh."

"She sent some eggs, dates, and boiled peanuts."

"Oh."

"Just put it in our house. I was thinking that you like to eat boiled peanuts, so I will keep it for you. If you are hungry after studying, you can go to the house and get it by yourself." Chen patted the little coriander in his arms, softly soundtrack.

"Keep it for mother, she's an old man." Hai Rui raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Chen, and said, "I need some good food. Our family is poor, and I don't have the money to buy her some good food. I'm sorry for her." Old man!"

"Hey." Chen was a little bit reluctant, and wanted to keep it for her husband, but she had been married for three years, and knew that her husband was very filial, and there was nothing she could do, so she had to agree gently.

There happened to be a few Qingshui villages outside the yard. A young man who was studying with Hai Rui passed by and saw Hai Rui repairing the wooden door. He smiled and said loudly, "Hey! Hai Rui, let's go out and play together?"

"Let's go to Yufeng Mountain for an outing, do you want to go? Look how good the weather is!"

"That's right, let's go together, reading every day, don't let your mind get bored, haha."

Just as Hai Rui was about to decline, the old lady came out with a sewing bag, hurried over, pushed open the courtyard door and shouted, "Go, go! If you don't leave, I'll bombard you with a broom! My son wants to study and get a job, and serve the court. Go hang out with you when I have time!"

"Hey, Mrs. Hai is here, let's go!"

Everyone laughed, pushed and shoved, walked past Hai Rui's house, and left quickly.

The little coriander in Chen's arms shook her head, what kind of education method is this?No wonder her father, Hai Rui, is so rigid and stubborn. He only has two things in mind, the test of merit and his mother. Apart from studying, he doesn't know how to start a side job so that he can earn some extra money to support his family.In the Ming Dynasty, the people lived in poverty, and even the salaries of officials were extremely low. Many of them went to court in the morning and went to the market to set up stalls in the afternoon.

Her father Hai Rui's weird personality is bad because of the old lady's education method, which is even more terrifying than exam-oriented education.She only let her father study hard, read dead books, did not contact outsiders, and did not communicate with others. Over time, her father Hai Rui became withdrawn and extremely stubborn. Can't pull back.Courage is commendable, regardless of the consequences.It is not surprising that Hai Rui has done a series of unimaginable things in his life.

After dinner, Mrs. Chen discussed with the old lady about cleaning.Poor to poor, this set is indispensable, and the people of the farm family have always attached great importance to the bathing ceremony of this child's birth.

The old lady sat on the head of the bed, supported the edge of the bed with both hands, raised her head slowly, and glanced at Mrs. Chen with a strange voice, "It's okay to wash the three...you can take the money. There is no money at home."

Chen is angry, she is an honest person, the old lady coaxed and cheated all the money she saved on weekdays, now it's time to use the money, she, a mother, will take it all Not a penny came.Without a generous gift to thank the midwife grandma, which midwife grandma is willing to take on such a low-cost business?The baptism of her own daughter is a serious matter. Chen is angry and helpless, and feels deeply ashamed of her daughter. She also knows that her family is poor, but the old lady has saved some money on weekdays, but she just doesn’t take it out easily. .Mrs. Chen talked about it, thinking about how to say that Coriander is also the granddaughter of the old lady, and if she doesn't invite her to see her, she won't be so hard-hearted.

It's a pity that the old lady made up her mind after eating Chengtuo, and let Mrs. Chen wear out her mouth. Just one sentence, it's okay to wash three times, but I don't want money.

Mrs. Chen walked around the house anxiously, thinking about it, and it was useless to tell her man that he was the shopkeeper for these trivial matters at home, not to mention that the old lady was in charge of the money at home.After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't make up her mind, so Chen's heart slacked off, and she went straight to the outside of the east room.

"Hey, where are you going?" The old lady called out in surprise.

Mrs. Chen ignored her, went straight out of the courtyard, and borrowed some money from Mrs. Liu's house next door.She thought about waiting for the harvest in the field, selling some money and returning it.This Mrs. Chen has always been a thin-skinned person, so she asked others to borrow money with a shy face.But this incident taught Chen a profound lesson, how important it is to have some personal money in him.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third day after Xiangcai was born, and Mrs. Chen still invited Aunt Wang over.

Aunt Wang looked at the plates on the wooden table. There were navel-picking hairpins, apron cloth, Shenger, Douer, locks, scales, small mirrors, green cloth tips, green tea leaves, and new combs that Chen had prepared in advance. , new cages, pig pancreas soap balls, new towels, copper tea trays, green onions, mugwort balls, incense candles, raw and cooked eggs, sticks and so on.There is also a bowl full of red-dyed Guiyuan, lychees, raw peanuts and other fruits in the big sea bowl.

Aunt Wang looked at it and nodded, Chen was relieved.For Mrs. Chen, it took a lot of effort to search for all these things. Fortunately, with the help of Mrs. Liu, they managed to get them together.

Xiao Xiangcai in Chen's arms stretched her neck curiously, looking at the table, "washing three" is a new thing for her.

At noon, Mrs. Chen cooked a pot of green vegetable noodles, commonly known as "washing three noodles" in the farmhouse. When sitting at the table, she respectfully asked Aunt Wang to take the right seat.
