reborn peasant mother

Chapter 46

Wu Shuanggui didn't come, Zhong Chuanxiu followed Shanzi back to her mother's house alone.When returning to her natal home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, according to the etiquette, she should not be empty-handed. Chuanxiu brought a pack of sugar lumps, two packs of croissants, and two bottles of canned sugar balls (hawthorn).As soon as the croissant came in, he asked Gangzi to take a bag, and his hands were sticky from eating.Chuanxiu then took the other bag with sugar lumps and canned food to Mother Zhong.

"Grandma, you eat glutinous rice balls."

Mother Zhong sat on the bed and nodded, beckoning Zhong Chuanxiu to sit down.

Zhong Chuanxiu walked over and put the glutinous rice balls on Mother Zhong's bedside.Although Zhong's mother is mean to her daughter-in-law, she still pays more attention to her grandson. If Zhong Chuanxiu brings everything to her like this, she will also eat it for her grandson.On the contrary, if the things were not sent to her first, they would probably have to find a reason to scold them again.

"Big girl, come here." No one else was around, Mother Zhong called Zhong Chuanxiu by her nickname, asked her to sit on the edge of the bed, and asked with a smile:

"Do you have a letter?"

Zhong Chuanxiu didn't understand, so he asked, "What letter?"

"Happy news! It's been four or five months since you've been here, and you still haven't got any good news?"

Only then did Zhong Chuanxiu understand, a look of unspeakable embarrassment appeared on his plain face, and he said, "No, grandma."

"It's time to have it. If you are pregnant, if you give birth to a little boy smoothly, you will have a reputation in the Wu family. Get along with your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and you will be more confident."

Zhong Chuanxiu was silent and said for a long time: "Grandma, I'm going to clean up and cook with my mother."

"Then you go." Zhong's mother said, "Take this candy and the canned food to Gangzi and Shanzi." Then she took it and stuffed it into Zhong Chuanxiu's hand.

Zhong Chuanxiu hurriedly said, "Grandma, I'll give you something to eat."

"I'll keep a pack of these glutinous rice balls for eating, but I don't dare to eat these candy balls. Seeing that my mouth is dripping with sour water."

Back then, canned food was a rare commodity.The bright red sugar balls are packed in a glass bottle, soaked in sugar water and rolling, and the bottle is covered with a shiny iron cover, which is rare to look at.

Feng Yujiang fell in love with it immediately.She simply took scissors, pried off the iron cover, found one with chopsticks, and put it directly into her mouth.Sweet and sour, cold, comfortable from the bottom of my heart.

Zhong Chuanxiu looked at her, a little surprised.You know, whenever there is something good, Feng Yujiang is never willing to touch his teeth.Not to mention Zhong Mu and Zhong Jipeng, there are four little mouths at home.

Feng Yujiang ate a candy ball and patted his chest, feeling much more comfortable.She smiled and said, "Look at your mother, I'm so hungry."

Zhong Chuanxiu looked at her with shining eyes, and suddenly asked:

"Mom, shouldn't we have a younger brother and younger sister again?"

Feng Yujiang's face became hot, and she told the eldest daughter: "Don't go out and say it, no one knows yet!"

"Does my dad know?" Zhong Chuanxiu asked, "Mom, what is there to hide?"

"It's shameful. My daughter has gone out, and I didn't expect to have a younger one." Feng Yujiang said, "I didn't tell your father about it. I didn't hide it from him. It's not something to publicize. Tell him about it." Now, what can I do?"

There are four children. In the eyes of her mother-in-law and Zhong Jipeng, having a baby is really a common thing, and she doesn't even bother to tell them.Besides, counting the time, she remembered the absurd incident on the barren ridge, and she didn't want to tell him.

"How many months?"

"More than four months." Feng Yujiang said.She is thin, so it is easy to show her pregnancy, but she wears a lot of clothes in this winter, and no one in the family pays attention to her, so no one cares about her.

"Mom, you are still pushing the millstone every day! You are expected to do all the rough and heavy work outside the house, how can you do it? My dad must know about this."

Just as he was talking, Zhong Jipeng pushed the door open and walked in. By coincidence, he overheard what Zhong Chuanxiu said, and asked:
"What do you need me to know? Are you two hiding something from me?"
