Chapter 249 The Secret Recipe for Childbirth
Mrs. Li heard that Song Bai was also going to take the exam. He heard from Aunt Song. The second aunt went to the town market with a few daughters-in-law in the village, but she couldn't hold back and went to Baoji shop.

"Sister-in-law, what are you busy with?" Second Aunt Song asked with a smile.

Mrs. Li looked up to see Second Aunt Song, smiled, and asked politely, "Are you here to go to the market? Have you had breakfast? Are you coming in for a bowl of bean curd?"

Second Aunt Song was waiting for Li Shi's words, and said with a smile, "Hey, I got up early today, and I haven't had breakfast yet."

Mrs. Li didn't say a word, served a bowl of bean curd for Second Aunt Song, and handed it to Second Aunt Song.

After receiving the bean curd, Aunt Song did not bring it into the house and sit there to eat as usual, but leaned against the wall, scooping up the orchid finger to eat the bean curd, while chatting to Mrs. Li: "Sister-in-law, Dong Bao and her third uncle also want to eat it." I went to the county to take the exam."

Mrs. Li nodded, Song Bai was at home just to test for talent, how could she not take the test, but this year she and Dong Bao won't make money for Song Bai, last time when the Baoji team went to Song's house to make trouble, Didn't they find the money from Song Bai? The Song family are all smart people, and they can go to the county to take the exam smoothly without her and Dong Bao's money.

Seeing that Mrs. Li didn't pay much attention to her, Second Aunt Song didn't feel embarrassed, scooped up the bean curd, and continued to speak slowly: "Sister-in-law, do you think the third child will pass the exam this time?"

"I don't understand academic matters." Shi Li shook her head with a smile, "Don't ask me."

Second Aunt Song pursed her lips lightly, snorted, and sighed: "Sister-in-law, if you say that the two of us are the most disadvantaged people in the Song family, we have been married to their family for many years as cows and horses. If you can't wear it, the old Song family doesn't treat their daughter-in-law as a human being, and they don't regard their daughter-in-law as their own family! In order to provide for a worthless third child, the old woman is so wicked that she is willing to sell her granddaughter. Hey, I think the old man If you fail the exam again and again, it’s time to sell my Zhaodi!”

These words hit a sore spot in Li Shi's heart, Li Shi's face was a little silent, and he didn't answer, Song Zhaodi was already engaged, how could she be sold out.And Dong Bao was almost betrayed, which was the eternal pain in her heart, because she was useless and couldn't protect her child, so she felt sorry for Dong Bao.

"Hey, sister-in-law." Second Aunt Song approached Mrs. Li with a smile, and asked softly, "You have been married to Mr. Yan for a long time, do you...have any letter?"

Li's face was a little red, she pushed Second Aunt Song away, brushed her temple hair, and said, "Believe it or not, I'm already in my thirties, and I don't think so anymore."

She and Song Xiucai have been married for more than ten years. She hopes that her son will go crazy and there is only one daughter, Dongbao. Obviously, she can't have one. Now that Lord Yan has Xiaoxu, she doesn't expect to be able to give Lord Yan a child , I've given up on that thought a long time ago.

"Sister-in-law, this can't be done." Second Aunt Song said seriously, "What is Mr. Yan's identity? How many big girls want to marry him! You will be eye-catching if you bring a Dongbao there. If you don't have a son, What can I do then?"

"The matter of giving birth to a child is under the control of the Goddess Guanyin. It is destined, and you can't force it." Li said with a frown. At first, she wanted to say that Mr. Yan is not such a person, but later she felt that there was no need to talk to Second Aunt Song. Too much talk, the provincial Second Aunt Song couldn't control her mouth, and spread it everywhere.

Second Aunt Song patted her thigh and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are right! There is a temple over there with my natal sister-in-law, and the fairy water in the temple is very effective. Many women have gone to pray for it. Drinking it will guarantee that they will have a son." , I will ask my natal sister-in-law to get you some...my eldest brother is familiar with the abbot, and I promise to get you the best and most effective!"

Seeing that she was getting more and more confused, no matter how good Li Shi's temper was, he said to her directly: "It's getting late, why don't you go back quickly? Dongbao's grandma is not easy to talk to after delaying lunch."

Second Aunt Song put down the bowl embarrassingly, and muttered: "It's still early!" Seeing someone eating meat buns and meat dumplings in the shop, she said cheekily: "Sister-in-law, Ermao is delicious. You made it!" Baozi Zongzi, I haven’t tasted it for several days, the child is always talking about it, saying that the food made by the aunt’s house is delicious..."

She didn't dare to mention the matter of Da Mao, for fear of mentioning Li Shi and then saying that she didn't discipline the children well.

Mrs. Li didn't want to hear Aunt Song's nagging, so she went directly into the house and took a bun and put it in the basket that Aunt Song was carrying, and waved her hand, "Hurry up and go home, it will delay the child's meal."

After finally sending Aunt Song away, Li Hongqin came over and said with a sigh of relief: "It's considered gone! With such a thick-skinned mother, it's no wonder that Da Mao grows so crooked! What did she just say in your ear?" What? He even glanced at me several times, as if he was afraid that I would see it!"

Mrs. Li blushed a little, shook her head and said, "What are you talking about, there is fairy water for giving birth in the temple of her natal sister-in-law... If one of the ten sentences in her mouth is true, it's a big deal, she must be trying to cheat money Yes, if I believe her, why don't you ask me for money for a bowl of water?"

"What kind of fairy water!" Li Hongqin curled her lips, "If there is really such a powerful fairy water, why doesn't she drink it herself? Didn't she give birth to two daughters herself! But...you have been here for a long time, why haven't you yet?" Any movement?"

Li's face became even hotter, and he couldn't laugh or cry, but after all, he was his own sister, so he didn't have any scruples when he spoke, "It's enough for me to have Xiaoxu and Dongbao with him, and I don't think about anything else. Besides, Xiucai and I are more than ten There is only one Dong Bao in the year, it seems that I am not a good child..."

"When I'm free, I'll accompany you to find a doctor..." Li Hongqin said in a low voice, "Dongbao and Xiaoxu are good children, but for the couple to live, it is better to have a child from both of you. , or quickly conceive one, while you are young and in good health." Li Hongqin persuaded, after another two years, Li will be too old to have children.

Mrs. Li smiled, nodded and didn't answer. Two years after Dong Bao was born, she hadn't conceived yet. Song Xiucai took her to see a doctor. She said she was fine, but she couldn't conceive. Under the disappointing eyes of her mother-in-law and her husband, she lived tremblingly, and she was relieved until Xiucai died.She is very content with her life now, and whether she has children or not depends on God's will.

"Don't worry about this and then worry about that." Li said with a smile, "Xiaoqian has been studying for so many years, and he is sensible and motivated. I think this time a scholar is very stable."

Li Hongqin let out a long breath, and sighed: "I was hoping that he would pass the exam, but after all, he only went to the town to study for a few days, and he can't compare to those who have studied since childhood, like Xiao Xu, who has been able to read since he was three years old." After studying, we are country children, one step behind others. Taking a step back, even if he can’t pass the exam this year, it’s okay, and I didn’t expect him to pass the exam once.”

"You can do whatever you want," Li said.

There are not a few students who go to the county to take the exam. In the vicinity of Yuanshui alone, there are more than a dozen students who go to the exam. Every family is looking forward to it, waiting for their children to come back with good news.

Since the beginning of September, the countryside has entered the busy season of autumn harvest, and every household in the village is busy.

Some time ago, Da Mao was "educated" by several men in turn, and now he is not good, unlike before, he is just like a seven or eight-year-old child, chasing chickens and beating dogs all day long.This autumn harvest, old man Song has also spoken, and Da Mao has to go to the field, at least as a half-strong laborer.

And Song Zhaodi, as a girl who has already been engaged, naturally can no longer go to the fields to do rough work. She and Huang's cook at home for the harvesters.

It has been seven or eight days since Song Bai went to take the exam. Every day when she is free, Huang moves a small bench and sits at the door. Although he didn't say anything, he was always looking forward to the early return of his beloved Song Bai.

Waiting until the sixth day, when the sun was shining brightly, Mrs. Huang had just sat at the door and washed a few beans, when she heard the sound of suona and drums coming from the village entrance, she sat up straight and narrowed her presbyopic eyes looked over.

After a while, a few children who watched the fun came running over, clapping their hands excitedly and shouting: "It's the people from the county to announce the good news!"

Huang stood up abruptly, all the beans in his hand fell to the ground without paying attention, his heart was beating more and more violently with the sound of the suona drum getting closer, and after a while, the team that came to announce the good news gradually caught her eye.

"Zhaodi, Zhaodi!" Huang yelled several times in a hoarse voice, shaking with excitement, "Come out quickly, come out quickly..."

Song Zhaodi was making noodles in the kitchen, and when she ran out, her hands were still covered with yellow sorghum noodles, "What's the matter, grandma? I'm making noodles!"

Hearing the sound of the suona outside, Song Zhaodi curled her lips, "Who is getting a wife at this time? I'm so busy! What's there to see?" She thought that Huang Shi saw someone marrying a wife and called her out to watch the fun of.

Mrs. Huang was excited at the moment, so she naturally didn't care about Song Zhaodi's attitude. She stared straight at the Chuicui Dada team of happy announcements coming from a distance, waved to Song Zhaodi behind her, and said tremblingly: "The third child has won, and he has won!" !"

"What?" Song Zhaodi was also surprised and excited, "Grandma, is it really my third uncle who won?!"

Huang's eye circles were red, and he stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, and couldn't help crying a few times, "It's just the third! When your uncle was in the middle of the middle school, many people came here to announce the good news. It's exactly the same as the current scene. !"

While talking, the person who announced the good news had already walked up to Mrs. Huang, bowed his hands politely to Mrs. Huang, and said, "Ma'am."

Huang originally wanted to deal with it calmly, so as not to lose San'er's face, but she couldn't control her excitement, and she began to cry before opening her mouth to respond. While weeping, she said excitedly: " I... my third son... is my son... a good son!"
