Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 138
The carriage drove all the way to the door of the house before stopping. Du Xian hurriedly came to pick it up when he heard the voice. Seeing so many things, he couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you were going to buy rabbits? What are these?"

"It's rare to go to Qidong County and don't buy some gifts, otherwise people will say we are stingy!" Du Xiaoyu smiled and pointed at the big and small bags, "No, this is for mother, this is for father, and this is for elder sister. Aunt Wu's, sister Meizhen's, Aunt Qin's..."

"They will be overjoyed to miss so many people."

Several people went into the room, Mrs. Zhao saw that their faces were flushed and sweating profusely, she got up and poured herbal tea and handed them over.

The past few days have been extremely hot, the sun was shining so hot on the top of the carriage, like sitting in a steamer, Du Xiaoyu hurriedly looked at the rabbits after drinking up the coffee table, and found that three of them had been directly heated to death. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the precious rabbits, so I quickly scattered them in the rabbit house, and went to feed them one by one.

"Take a break, I'll fix it." Du Xian said, "Your clothes are wet, go take a shower."

She was indeed feeling unwell, so she turned around and went to the bedroom, changed her clothes and took a rest to call Du Huanghua, Aunt Wu and others, and divided the presents one by one. Everyone was very happy, and asked about the customs of Qidong County .

Hearing that the place is so prosperous and lively, they are very yearning, especially the Qin family, wishing to move the small courtyard in the county to Qidong, but the house price there can't be compared, at least half of the price.

After everyone left, Du Xiaoyu remembered that the box hadn't been shown to his parents yet, and he wanted to make it clear, so he told about Du Wenyuan's earning 150 taels with the nautical chart.Du Xian was stunned, 150 taels was a lot of money, so he hurriedly called his son and said that the route was provided by Lin Song, so should he be given the money?

Du Wenyuan said no, Lin Songben also casually mentioned that he paid attention to drawing, and besides, the most important thing his master needed was money, but Du Xian still asked him to buy some things to send over to show his heart, and told Du Xiao Yu said that he sold all the cold melons and made a total of 18 taels of silver.

Last year, although there was only one mu of land, I earned 12 taels. This year it is less than this year. The main reason is that there are more people growing cold melons this year, and those who are smart will sprout seedlings earlier.

"It seems that two acres of land is enough, and I don't need to grow it next year." If this trend continues, the price of cold melon may decrease year by year. Du Xiaoyu picked up the dog bowl on the ground and filled some leftover meals for Xiaoyu The wolf ate, and when he walked outside, there was a "huh", where did a dog come?He swaggered and lay down in their yard to sleep, and the little wolf even licked his ears.

"This black dog is the little wolf's daughter-in-law." Du Xian pointed and laughed, "It was brought back within two days of your departure. It was so skinny back then, it only looks decent now that it has eaten well."

Du Xiaoyu twitched the corner of his mouth, he was quite bold, and dared to bring his daughter-in-law back privately and let them help her raise her.

She walked over and patted the little wolf's head hard, scolded the brat softly, and put the dog basin on the ground.

The little wolf came over and sniffed but didn't eat, but looked at his wife. The black dog got up slowly, opened its mouth wide and yawned before lowering its head to eat.

She's still considerate, Du Xiaoyu was really funny looking at this flattering little guy, and then carefully sized up that black dog, which was huge and not much smaller than the little wolf. Heigou didn't look at her in a daze, he really had the aura not to bow down for three buckets of rice.

"Didn't this dog beg for food from dad?" I didn't see it shaking its head or tail.

"It's all sent there to eat." Du Xian said, "I don't know where it came from. After I came here, I was quiet all day long, and I never heard it call. Your mother asked to keep it because she didn't want to cause trouble."

Du Xiaoyu nodded and didn't care, it's nothing to have more dogs, and it's good for the little wolf to have a companion.

After a few days, Lin Song finally came back and brought a doctor with him. He said that he was a famous doctor from their hometown. Only Du Xiaoyu and Du Wenyuan knew that this must be a brilliant doctor, even an imperial doctor.

Du Xian was very moved. Lin Song was still thinking about their son-in-law when he went home, so he brought him here from a long distance. This is not an ordinary friendship.

Lin Song then said that the doctor had something to go on a long trip, and he just passed by here to take a look, so he led him to Bai's house.

The doctor's surname is Gu, with a long face, and his expression is not angry but majestic. From Du Xiaoyu's point of view, he seems to be an official. His majesty seems to make people feel uneasy, like someone who specializes in extorting confessions.

But it was different as soon as he opened his mouth. Even a layman could tell that he was a rather special doctor. The angles of the questions were very strange. Bai Yushi answered in detail, and Doctor Gu gave him his pulse after pondering for a while.

When they came out, the Bai couple was in a hurry to inquire, but Dr. Gu said nothing, just prescribed Zhang Fangzi and left.

This made the people of the Bai family very anxious. They thought it was not possible. After asking Lin Song, they found out that it would be a good thing if Doctor Gu didn't talk about preparing for the funeral, and let their family follow the prescription.As for what happened, Doctor Gu didn't say a word, but to the Bai family, the fact that Bai Yushi could not die was the greatest favor, and I would like to thank Lin Song a thousand times.

Lin Song didn't respond very well, saying that it was because of Du Xian's family, and the Bai family came to thank Du's family again, but needless to mention the result, after a few words, the Zhao family made an excuse to take a break and issued an order to evict the guests.

The Bai family also has self-knowledge, and usually doesn't visit the door anymore. Although the two families are in-laws, except for Du Huanghua and his wife, they are strangers.

Although Du Xian thinks that Bai Shiying is a good person, but seeing that their daughter Bai Lianhua is not soft-hearted, he doesn't mean to relax.

The weather was hot in June, and it was even more uncomfortable for Mrs. Zhao to have a big belly. Du Xiaoyu fanned her every day, made some cool tea to drink, and spent the summer comfortably.

The neighbors who came to visit their house recently said the most words, Mrs. Zhao's belly is so big!

Du Xiaoyu doesn't know much about this, but looking at the expressions of those people, it seems that they are indeed a little bigger than ordinary people, and he is very happy in his heart. Could it be that he is really a big fat son?
Mrs. Zhao, however, was uneasy. She knew very well that she had a child before, and whether her belly was big or not had nothing to do with whether the child was a boy or a girl.Although she was also looking forward to being a boy, she would be able to confess that matter to Du Xian with joy, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. pity.

Du Xiaoyu knew what she was thinking, and didn't mention whether it was a boy or not. He only prayed in his heart before going to bed every day before falling asleep.

The ewe at home is going to give birth in the next few days, and she has a big belly. She is paying attention at all times. This day, after explaining things to Li Jin, she heard strange sheep bleating in the sheep shed.

I ran out and saw that the sheep had given birth to a lamb and was still working hard.

She was overjoyed and hurried to help, but it was obviously useless. The ewe gave birth to four lambs in one go, and the mother and child were safe.Du Xiaoyu helped break the lamb's umbilical cord, and Mrs. Zhao ran out to see the good news.

"Get some warm salt water for it to drink, remember not to drink cold water these few days." Mrs. Zhao hastily reminded, "Put more fodder, tsk tsk, it is doing well, and it has four heads."

Du Xiaoyu obeyed the order and went to the kitchen to get salt water.

The ewe drank some water and started licking her young again.

Sheep are no better than humans. The four lambs can stand up in a short while, surround the ewe's belly to drink milk, and bleat and bleat, attracting the cows next to them to "moo".

"Our yard is really lively." Mrs. Zhao said with a smile, "If that dog is born, I don't know what it will look like."

The little wolf's wife is also pregnant, Du Xiaoyu laughed when he heard that, yes, if there are a few more puppies running wildly all over the yard, it won't be a zoo anymore.

"Did the sheep give birth? Okay, okay," Du Xian walked in with a wooden bucket, "Fortunately, I didn't kill it last time, otherwise I would lose money. How many sheep were born?"

"Four heads."

Du Xian was also very happy, and threw the wooden barrel to the ground, "I fried these snails tonight, mother, I'll give you a change."

river snail?Du Xiaoyu wondered, "Didn't dad go to see the rice fields, why did he go to the river to catch snails?"

"It's in the rice fields. I discovered it a few days ago. Today, there are a lot more. If you don't eat it for nothing, many people are catching it."

Do snails grow in the rice? Du Xiaoyu ran to the wooden barrel, took out a snail and looked at it carefully, and said, "Father, where is this snail? It doesn't look like it!" She knew snails and used to eat them often, but she stopped eating them after the river water was polluted, and reports of parasites came out one after another, so she didn't dare to eat them.

Du Xian frowned, "Aren't they all about the same size? They're all snails."

"That's different." Du Xiaoyu turned his eyes and said, "The book says that some snails should not be eaten blindly. There are some worms in them, which will make you sick if you eat them. Mother is pregnant now, Daddy, how dare you give her something to eat? "

Du Xian was startled, "Is there such a thing? That won't work, it won't work, let's not eat it." As he said that, he was about to dump those snails, but Du Xiaoyu stretched out his hand to stop it.

"Small it and give it to the chicken." She laughed, it's a good thing for chickens!
"Okay, then I'll go back and grab some more."

"By the way, did you have this snail before?" Du Xiaoyu noticed what he said before. She discovered it a few days ago, and there were a lot more in just a few days. She faintly felt that something was wrong.

Du Xian thought for a while, and took out a snail to have a look, "There aren't that many. What you said just now, I see that they look different now, and they are bigger."

"The texture of the shell is also different." Du Xiaoyu's heart moved, "Father, I'll go with you to the rice fields."

"It's getting dark, why don't you go?" Du Xian looked at the sky, "Why don't you go tomorrow?"

"There's still a while, I just want to see how many snails there are." After saying that, he pushed Du Xian out.

The two headed towards the rice fields.
