Peasant woman's day

Chapter 5

After arguing for a long time without any result, everyone had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being.Outside, Third Aunt Han started to call Lin Shi to go to the village to help make rice cakes, Lin Shi tidied up her hair and hurried out.Song Chunhua twisted her buttocks and followed out the door.Anyway, the belly was her talisman now, and it was a matter of course that she went for a walk.Who knew that this step would lead to many problems.

The child is very good, as long as Fu Rong is by his side, he will never cry or make trouble.At first, Fu Rong thought he was dumb, but every time he wanted to pee, he would yell, and Fu Rong finally felt relieved.Seeing that the child was still wearing single clothes, Fu Rong took out her old clothes and changed them into small jackets for him.

At dinner time, Furong was cooking in the kitchen, and the child ran around her, helping with firewood for a while, and water for a while.The little man couldn't even walk steadily, he was dragging a big bucket, and stumbled, but thanks to Fu Rong who gave him a hand, otherwise he would have fallen right into it.Fu Rong asked him to stand up with a serious expression: "From now on, you are not allowed to play in the water."

The child nodded in understanding.Fu Rong asked him to sit on the side and helped fetch and put firewood.The child sat upright, looking at the fire in the stove with a very serious face, with a meticulous look.Mrs. Lin had already returned, she put her head in to have a look, frowned, turned and left.

After dinner was served, Song Chunhua came late, and when she saw Furong, she said sarcastically, "Our eldest sister has become a big celebrity now." Today, when Song Chunhua walked to the river in the west of the village, everyone quarreled for her. She then asked her if Furong had brought a child home, and even asked her how old the child was, and even asked her directly who the child's father was.Song Chunhua was confused, and made a few excuses, and everyone burst into laughter.Song Chunhua's face was dull, so she had to come back disheartened.As soon as she came back, she saw the child standing by the dining table. Song Chunhua lost her temper, rushed up to mention the child, and cursed: "You loser, I have been in this house for so long. I haven't been pointed and scolded by anyone yet. Once you come, you will make the whole family suffer! Get out of here!"

"Sister-in-law! What are you talking about? I am the one who brought him back. The result of the discussion has not yet been reached, and the parents have not said anything yet! Is it too much for you to say such things to a child! Fu Rong immediately took the child down, hugged her in her arms, and said to Song Chunhua solemnly.

Mrs. Lin just walked in, and Song Chunhua immediately wiped her tears and took hold of Mrs. Lin's sleeves: "Mother, you see, I think about my eldest sister, but she says that about me. I knew this family must be tired of me." The previous son was Dali, and now the eldest sister is also like this."

"Be quiet!" Old Guo walked in with a gloomy face, glanced over, and said to Guo Dali: "After you eat, please invite your uncle, third uncle, and others over."

Song Chunhua's ears sharpened immediately, and people from the same clan were usually called to discuss important family matters.Does old Guo want to admit that this child belongs to the Guo family?Song Chunhua secretly made up her mind to stir up the Huang affair.

Sure enough, after everyone gathered together in the afternoon, they immediately quarreled and talked about everything.The child kept tugging on Furong's skirt, looking timidly at the opening and closing mouths in front of him, so frightened that tears filled his eyes, he almost didn't cry out on the spot.

"Second Aunt Guo, I won't hide it from you. My niece Furong is from a wealthy family, and she looks like the first class in our village, but she is too old." The village head matchmaker Zhang sat on a long stool and drank Taking a sip of water, he said to Mrs. Lin who was lying on the kang, "The incident last time caused a lot of trouble. Sister Furong has a good heart, so we know it. It's just that the man's family..."

Lin's complexion was not good at all, she propped herself up against the pillow, her forehead dripping with sweat.This is already the fifth.Those families who were eager to marry Fu Rong before all retreated, and one after another, the matchmaker came to find various reasons to withdraw from the marriage.Thinking of what happened before, she felt her chest constricted, and immediately lay down on the pillow and coughed non-stop.

Song Chunhua quickly brought water to Mrs. Lin.Lin coughed for a while, calmed down a bit, and called Song Chunhua to send Matchmaker Zhang out.Matchmaker Zhang knew that Mrs. Lin was unhappy, so she said a few words and left.

After Matchmaker Zhang left, a round head moved to the door and looked inside.Lin closed her eyes for a while to rest her mind, and when she opened her eyes, she saw those small black eyes.Mrs. Lin sighed in her heart, her complexion improved after all, and she waved to the child at the door: "Yuanyuan, come to me."

"Grandma." The child who was named Yuanyuan's eyes lit up instantly, carefully holding a porcelain bowl in his hand, walked up to Mrs. Lin, and stretched out his hand to show her the bowl, "Grandma, eat pastry. "

Small round dim sum fried to golden brown on both sides smelled like they were made of glutinous rice, with brown sugar sprinkled on top.Lin knows that Furong made it herself.Lin touched Yuanyuan's head and said with a smile: "You eat, grandma is not hungry."

There was a flash of injury in Yuanyuan's eyes, she put down the bowl, and grabbed Lin's palm with both hands: "Grandma, are you angry because of Yuanyuan?"

Lin was startled: "Who taught you this?" It couldn't be Fu Rong, she wouldn't be so confused, it could only be Song Chunhua.Seeing the anticipation in Yuanyuan's eyes, Lin couldn't bear it: "Grandma, why is she angry because of Yuanyuan? Where's your mother?"

"Mother is weeding the vegetable garden in the back and digging a lot of shepherd's purse. She said she will make fish soup for Grandma." Yuanyuan raised her head, "Grandma, when will you be ready?"

In such a cold day, the river is still frozen. Where did the fish come from?Lin knew that she had been betting on this tone for a long time, so she said to Yuanyuan: "Go and call your mother."

Although Yuanyuan was only over one year old, he also saw the scene of his mother and grandma arguing that day, and now when he heard grandma's words, his eyes widened with laughter, and he ran out happily.

Furong was weeding the vegetable garden, and applied another layer of fertilizer. Looking at the two lush green vegetable fields, she wiped off her sweat, and saw Yuanyuan waving her little hands and rushing towards her, " Mother, grandma is calling you."

A little milk scent immediately filled the nostrils, and the warm feeling in her arms made Fu Rong's eye circles moisten.Mother, are you finally willing to take care of yourself?
After changing her clothes and tidying up a bit, Fu Rong went in with Lin's medicine.After Lin finished drinking the medicine, she took a piece of Yi Tang in her mouth, and then said: "Even if you blame me for what happened earlier, I still don't agree with it. How can there be a big girl in Huanghua who is so disregarding her reputation and insists on killing a girl?" The child is in your own name, haven't you confirmed those rumors?"

Of course she heard the rumors, and they weren't good.But Furong couldn't bear to make her parents tired when they were old, and she also knew why Song Chunhua desperately didn't want Yuanyuan to be recognized as Lao Guo's name. Like, children also have self-esteem.That's why Lin was dizzy all of a sudden, and finally managed to stop Fu Rong's crazy move of identifying the child under her own name.Although Yuanyuan is only recognized as Furong's godson now, people now spontaneously regard Furong as his mother.

"Mother only has you as a daughter, so I know what kind of temperament you are. When I sold you for your brother's marriage, mother knew that you still resented mother in your heart. Although our Guo family has been digging through the earth for generations, Not that unreasonable person. Mother is afraid that you will be poked in the back. I only have one daughter, and my biggest wish is to see you get married safely." The more Lin said, the more excited she was, she picked up the handkerchief and wiped it. tears.

Fu Rong was silent, just listening quietly.She understands Lin's position.Lin also understands her position.It's just one thing to understand, another thing to accept.She should feel lucky, for her actions, not only she was gossiped, but also her whole family was gossiped.Lin was so angry that she almost fainted, but she didn't let Yuanyuan be kicked out.Thinking of this, Fu Rong's eyes couldn't help sore.

"Mother's days are probably not many, and I don't want to bring this resentment into the coffin. If you don't want to, mother will not force you to marry." Lin really took a step back.

"Mother, I'll marry!" These words hit Fu Rong's heart.Yes, the family has sacrificed so much for themselves. Since getting married is a must for women in every age, what are you resisting?Even modern free love is not necessarily worse than what Lin and the others chose.

Lin couldn't believe her ears. Seeing Fu Rong solemnly nodded her head and repeated it again, Lin's tears fell down even more, and she hugged Fu Rong in her arms: "Daughter!"

Furong agreed, but this marriage did not come easily.The previous incident caused almost all the people in the village to stay away from Furong, and even if there were some, they were lazy wives beaters.Naturally, Lin would not let Fu Rong suffer this grievance, and it happened that Lin's mother's birthday was coming.Lin took Furong and Yuanyuan home.

As soon as they went out, they ran into Da Liu.Da Liu scratched his head and thought about it.Fu Rong turned her eyes away, and quickly got on the bullock cart.Da Liu had no choice but to stand still.Why the rumors appeared the second day after Furong came back, Furong knew after thinking about it carefully.It's good to stop his thoughts, don't procrastinate.
