Chapter 20 Poisonous Moon Evil Day
As soon as I hung up, I saw Brother Cheng's mother coming with a few zongzi. When I saw Xu Xing'er, she smiled and said, "Xing'er is really diligent. After all, it's still considerate to give birth to your daughter. Unlike my boy, who had just had breakfast and left a sentence to go up the mountain, so he took a few zongzi and ran with a basket on his back, and even went up the mountain to do. Don't say anything."
Xu Xinger welcomed people in and said with a smile, "As my aunt said, Brother Cheng is already a very honest child in our village. She usually knows how to help my uncle work in the field, but unlike those bastards in the village, they know how to flirt with cats and dogs all day long. Aunt is the people who will enjoy happiness in the future!"
Everyone likes to listen to others praise their children, so the corners of Cheng's mouth grinned bigger. She handed the zongzi in her hand to Xu Xinger and went into the room to talk to Ye.
Xu Xinger put away the rice dumplings and grinded the thin rice to boil rice paste for the two small ones. Then she turned in and only heard Brother Cheng's mother say, "... I'm guilty. When can't give birth to a baby, but today, I also gave birth to a big fat boy, alas..."
"Is it not good to give birth to a boy?" Xu Xinger picked up the curtain and entered the room and asked puzzledly, "Who gave birth to the baby?"
"What does the child's family know? May 5 is the evil day of the poisonous moon. The man harms his father and the daughter harms his mother." Brother Cheng's mother sighed, "Poor old Wu's family, it took so long to get one, but it's really my life to catch up with this."
Ye was a little distracted. She thought that no matter what her life was, she had a son, but she couldn't even give birth to a son. After a long time, she came to her senses and asked, "Do you have to find someone to foster her? Is it possible that her family will drown her baby?"
Brother Cheng gently pushed the locked car and shook her head and said, "It's a big fat boy. How can her family give up? She has been looking forward to it for so long! But the foster family is not so easy to find. Her family is living a tight life and can't afford it. Now she is worried at home.
Xu Xinger didn't know this custom. She didn't seem to have met a child born on the Dragon Boat Festival before. She felt fresh and listened to it for a while, and also heard the meaning of Brother Cheng's mother. If she was born a daughter, she was afraid that she would drown directly.
She bowed her head and thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "If you can't find a foster home, you can send your child to the temple and ask for a name charm. At that time, you will become an outsider, and naturally you won't be able to defeat your parents."
"Oh, this is a good way. Why didn't you think of it!" Brother Cheng patted her thigh when she heard the words, "After all, Xing'er's brain is still easy to use. I'll go and talk to Lao Wu's family."
After she said it, she left in a hurry. Before she walked out of the courtyard, she ran back and said, "Look at my brain, I forgot what I came to do. Xing'er Niang, give me a piece of old clothes with children at home. Lao Wu's family wanted to make a hundred pieces of clothes, but the child was crushed by the child."
Xu Xinger knows that there are two kinds of clothes, one is to beg for clothes worn by the same sex, to bless the child's healthy growth in the future, and the other is what Brother Cheng said, which is a clothes that boys want to wear from girls, which are used to suppress their lives, indicating that they will feed their children as girls. It also means that I hope to grow up safely.
Xu Xinger turned out two small clothes in the kang and handed them to Brother Cheng's mother and asked, "Auncle, are these two okay?"
Brother Cheng took over and didn't care about looking at it, and said repeatedly, "Okay, whatever it is, the old one is good." He rolled up the two clothes, put them under his armpits and hurried away.
Xu Xinger and Ye Shi fed two small ones together. Before they could clean up all the things, another guest came to the door.
The person who came was a woman in her fifties. She wore a brown coat, wore a gray apron around her waist, and held a zongzi and a jar of wine in her hand. She looked a little formal and haggard. She stood at the gate of the courtyard and poked her head. She didn't seem to dare to come in casually. When she saw Xu Xinger come out, she asked with a smile, "This ...Is it Xing'er?"
"Well, I'm Xing'er. Please go to the house first." Xu Xinger thought for a long time, but she didn't find who the woman was from her memory. She was embarrassed to ask who she was. Seeing the salute in her hand, she first let her into the house.
The woman moved her steps a few times, but still didn't enter the door. She only handed the things in her hand to Xing'er and said, "Last time you came to your house, you were just one year old, and you are so old in a flash. If you give these things to your house, I won't go in."
Xu Xinger said to herself that she had seen it when she was one year old. No wonder she had no impression at all, but she still said politely, "It's too much. There is no reason not to enter the door and sit down. My mother can't come out of the room after confinement. Please come in and talk and drink some water before leaving."
It happened that Ye Shi also asked in the room, "Xing'er, who is outside? Why are you standing under the sun and talking?"
Xu Xinger pulled people into the house.
The woman put the things on the table in the room, rubbed her hands nervously, looked at Ye and whispered, "Third daughter-in-law."
Ye was stunned first, and then said, "Aunuch Wu, why do you come to take things? Your family's life is not rich. Don't be polite to us."
Mrs. Wu said quickly, "I'm here to thank your apricot." With that, he sighed, "To tell you the truth, I was afraid that the baby would be born in the Dragon Boat Festival, so I found a doctor and a midwife, boiled the medicine and planned to give birth early. Who knew that the baby would not come out and dragged it until this morning to give birth. His mother also tossed half his life in. The family was worried to death and had no money to send it to others. Raising, the baby's father insisted on losing the child. That's the only seedling of our old Wu family. How can I be willing to..."
Only then did Xu Xinger know that this person was the one Cheng's mother just mentioned. She brought a bowl of herbal tea and handed it to her, interrupting her chatter.
Mrs. Wu got up and took the herbal tea, and even felt a little scared. Just now, the restrainedness returned to her. She couldn't sit still and said quickly, "No matter what, I have to thank your good idea given by Xing'er. There are still many things to prepare at home. I and I won't stay any longer. First, go back first.
Ye didn't leave her, but said, "Congratulations on your family. As for thanking or not, you don't need to be so polite. You'd better take it back, and you don't have to spend some money to send your child to the temple."
"It's not a valuable thing. The dumplings and soaked realju are just a scene for the Dragon Boat Festival." Mrs. Wu didn't have time to drink herbal tea and hurried away like burning her buttocks.
Xu Xinger wondered that Ye was very popular in the village, and she was the last one to care about others. Even if she offended her or had any festivals, as long as the other party took the initiative to be soft, she would never hold grudges and still got along with each other. However, she had a good attitude today. Strange.
Before she asked, Ye first said, "Don't tell anyone about her family's gift-giving. If you see her family in the future, don't... don't get too close. Her family has a holiday with our family. If you see it, you will have trouble again."
Xu Xinger looked at Ye with doubts in her eyes, asking her to say a few more words,
"Oh, I see." Xu Xinger saw that Ye Shi obviously didn't want to continue to mention it, so she had to touch the tip of her nose and swallow the question in her heart. "Well, I'm going to set the fire to cook."
Set up the firewood in the stove pit, chop a small piece of Mingzi with a knife, and stuff it into the stove pit with a fire fold. Soon, the bright flame rises, licking the long-dried firewood, making a beep sound, and a smell of burning firewood with pine fragrance spread.
Xu Xinger heated the corn ball and went to the yard to pick vegetables. I don't know who threw a stone through the stick and hit it on the firewood stack to make the sound of the boss. Before she could speak, someone outside shouted, "Xu Xinger, your peach was beaten in the grain drying field!"
As soon as Xu Xinger heard this, she was anxious and left her things in her hand and ran out. She knew that Taoer was a little introverted, so she wanted to encourage her to go out to play with children, but she did not expect that such a nature and her family background would easily make her be bullied by other children.
She ran to the grain field in one breath and saw many children in the village surrounded by them.
When the sharp-eyed man saw Xu Xinger coming, he immediately made a noise. Some naughty boy shouted to the crowd, "Oh, the hot girl is coming. Run!"
Xu Xinger also ignored them and squeezed in separately. She saw Taoer's little face dirty, and the clothes she had just changed in the morning were also covered with dirt. She grabbed the sleeve of a seven- or eight-year-old boy in her hand and cried, but she refused to let go.
The boy is the young son of the old Liu family at the entrance of the village. Because he is an old son, he is not used to be spoiled by his master's milk. He is tall and strong, and looks a little taller than Xu Xinger. He searched for a group of six or seven-year-old children in the village. Like the children's head, he led them everywhere to make trouble and tease cats and dogs.
Many families in the village deserved it, but they were all children and hindered the face of the villagers. They had to admit that they did not want to attack, but also indirectly encouraged them, becoming more and more lawless.
Liu Yaoer is now waving her fist at Taoer and shouting rudely: "Let go quickly. You have scratched my clothes dirty. If you don't let go, I will hit you!"
"Who do you want to hit?" Xu Xinger grabbed his fist and asked.
"Who..." Liu Yaoer suddenly turned around and saw that the person was stunned. The two had fought once before. Although Xu Xinger was thin and small, there was a fierce fight. He couldn't get any advantage of himself. Instead, he suffered a lot of hidden losses. Now when he sees her, he can still remember the wolf who has been in pain for many days. bei
But when I saw the little followers looking at me eagerly, they refused to accept it. They stared at Xu Xinger and shouted, "I want to hit your sister Xu Taoer. What's wrong?"
