The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 116 Tuantuan, you are going to be a sister
Tuantuan didn't know that her mother was determined to make her stronger, and she was still nestling in the arms of her brothers every day, happily eating rice cakes.

After Mei Hua got married, the life of Song Dalang's family continued as usual. Wen Bao and Wu Yong didn't mention what Wen Bao said last time, but Wen Bao knew that Wu Yong went to find some well-connected guards of the Wu family.

After June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter every day, the sun is getting bigger and bigger, the springs on the hills of Songjia Village are getting less and less, and the wells in each yard are also drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Mom, Tuantuan is hot."

At noon, he was so hot that he couldn't sleep, lying beside Wen Bao, Song Dalang kept fanning the two women.

Wen Bao is also hot, it hasn't rained for so long, and now there is little water, she hasn't bathed for three days in a row, she just wipes her body with water.

Now there are no crops in the family's field, and all the grapes planted before have withered, leaving only the roots in the land.

The ewes in the family have long since stopped raising them, because there is no water for them to take care of their bodies, and the hotter they are, the more smelly they become.

"Dalang, why don't you go get some quick ice? Use a basin to catch the water, and when the water melts, use it to wipe your body."

Now the water has to be used many times, and the clean new ice is used to enjoy the coolness. When it turns into water, the first thing is to wipe the body, then Wen Bao, and finally Song Dalang.

After Song Dalang has finished wiping his body, the water can't be poured out, and he can keep it to make ice again, waiting for the next time to make ice cubes specially for enjoying the cool.

Because of Wen Bao's suggestion, the Wen family, Wu family, Chen family, and Liu family all made a lot of ice cubes in the ice cellar in advance, so even if there is no water, they can still have water for use.

Li's family didn't have an ice cellar, but Wen Bao never forgot their family, let alone Songjia Village.

When ice production started, Songjia Village also dug several large cellars, and even selected several shady caves to store ice cubes.

Today, among the nearby villages, only Songjia Village can still have ice. Even the town has no water, and many people have taken refuge by the Qinglong River.

"Okay, you and Tuantuan will wait for a while."

It was too hot, so Song Dalang ran to the cellar with his upper body bare, got some ice and then went back to the house.

On such a hot day, no one came out for a walk. Wu Li was afraid that he would increase the burden on Song Dalang's family at Song Dalang's house, so he moved to Wu Yong's house long after Wu Yong got married.

Tuantuan saw her father bring a basin of ice, and tried to get on the ice with her short legs, but Wen Bao hugged her instead.

"Don't be greedy for the cold, after a while, mother will wipe your body with water and you will feel comfortable."

Wen Bao stopped Tuantuan, but Tuantuan could only obediently stay by Wen Bao's side.

Song Dalang continued to fan his wife and daughter with a fan, while Tuantuan's big eyes kept staring at the ice basin.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the melted ice water finally formed a layer. Tuantuan confirmed that there was water, and immediately looked at Wen Bao, "Mother, mother, there is water, Tuantuan needs to wipe it off."

Tuantuan watched Wen Bao calling her, but Wen Bao was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes at all.

Tuantuan didn't wake up no matter how he called Wen Bao, so he cried out in fright.

"Mother, mother, wake up."

As soon as Tuantuan cried, the drowsy Song Dalang immediately opened his eyes, hugged Tuantuan, Song Dalang patted her on the back, "Tuantuan is not crying, tell Dad, what's wrong?"

"Father, Tuantuan, I can't wake up, I can't wake up mother."

As soon as Tuantuan said it, he wanted to cry again, but Song Dalang coaxed Tuantuan in time, and looked at Wen Bao.

After Song Dalang called twice, Wen Bao slowly opened his eyes.

"what happened?"

Just as Wen Bao opened his eyes, he was still a little dazed. Seeing that Wen Bao had woken up, Tuantuan suddenly grinned.

The fat arms wrapped around Wen Bao's neck and refused to let go.

"Tuantuan is good." Wen Bao patted Tuantuan, then looked at Song Dalang and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know, I almost fell asleep just now, or I woke up after crying."

As soon as Song Dalang finished speaking, Wen Bao was taken aback, but she didn't hear Tuantuan crying.

When Wen Bao let go of Tuantuan, hugged Tuantuan and looked down at her, he realized that Tuantuan's eyes were red, and he had indeed just cried.

"Tuantuan, why were you crying just now?"

"Call mother, mother will not wake up."

A few days ago in Songjia Village, an old man died of heat, and Tuantuan, who had just come into contact with death, was very frightened.

Tuantuan didn't know who said that even after she died, she couldn't wake up no matter how much she screamed. Just now she saw that Wen Bao couldn't wake up, so she cried loudly.

Wen Bao understood what was going on as soon as he heard Tuantuan's words, looked up at Song Dalang, waited for her to wipe Tuantuan's body and put him to sleep, and then wiped himself.

"Da Lang, when it's getting dark, let's go to Zhang Lian's house."

As soon as Wen Bao finished speaking, Song Dalang said nervously: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with you?"

Seeing that Song Dalang was so nervous, Wen Bao slightly pursed his lips and said, "Don't be nervous, I've postponed my menstrual affairs for almost half a month, I'm afraid I might have a baby."

Wen Bao's tone was not overjoyed. After the year, she did want to have another child with Song Dalang, but she didn't get pregnant with the first two. Later, the weather got worse and worse, so she didn't want to get pregnant anymore.

But at this time, it was so hot that she was very likely to be pregnant with a child.

Song Dalang also knew Wen Bao's worry, this child came at the wrong time, the weather is so bad this year, and he doesn't know what will happen next year, if the drought continues, what will they do?
"Don't worry, since the child is here, we will keep him."

Song Dalang could only comfort Wen Bao in this way. Wen Bao also knew that natural disasters did not happen every year. It was the first time for Wen Youcai and Wu Shi to encounter such a severe drought at their age.

"Well, don't tell the parents first, if you confirm that everything is fine with the children, then tell them."

Song Dalang also understood Wen Bao's worry, he stretched out his hand to hold Wen Bao's hand, but his hand shook so badly that he couldn't hold Wen Bao's hand all the time.

Wen Bao noticed Song Dalang's movements, and immediately raised his hand to hold his hand.

If there is no drought, this child should be very happy.

After waking up, Tuantuan still wanted to climb onto his mother, but was stopped by Song Dalang, who looked at his father pitifully, but no matter how spoiled Tuantuan was, Song Dalang didn't let Tuantuan crawl into Wen Bao's arms.

As the sun went down in the evening, Mei Hua also went out of the house to prepare for cooking. When she saw Tuantuan sitting alone in the main room, she immediately walked over and hugged Tuantuan into her arms.

"What happened to Tuantuan?"

When Tuantuan saw her aunt, she immediately pursed her mouth aggrievedly, "Girl, mother seems to be sick, and father won't let Tuantuan hug her."

Tuantuan became more and more aggrieved as he talked, his big eyes blinked, and a tear fell down.

Wu Yong followed Meihua out of the house, and when he saw that Tuantuan was crying, he immediately picked up Tuantuan, "Can uncle take Tuantuan out to play?"

It turned out that when the weather wasn't so hot, Tuantuan would go out to play every day, but now that it's hot, Tuantuan seldom went out to play.

In the past, when Wu Yong said to go out to play, Tuantuan would nod immediately, but today when Wu Yong said it, Tuantuan shook his head, "Tuantuan wants to guard mother."

When Song Dalang helped Wen Bao out of the house, he just heard what Tuantuan said, and the couple looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.

"Tuantuan, mother is going to your Aunt Lian's house, do you want to go?"

Hearing Wen Bao's words, Tuantuan was very embarrassed for a while, she didn't like water droplets, and when she went to Aunt Lian's house, she would see water droplets.

But my mother wants to go too, she really wants to go.

Tuantuan looked tangled, Wen Bao wanted to laugh, and Mei Hua walked up to Wen Bao and looked at her worriedly.

"Sister-in-law, are you unwell?"

"Well, it's a little uncomfortable. Let your brother accompany me to see Zhang Lian. You cook at home with everyone in Xue."

After hearing Wen Bao's words, Mei Hua looked at Wen Bao's face and nodded immediately.

"Then sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm at home."

After Meihua finished saying this, she wanted to coax Tuantuan to go out with Wu Yong, but Tuantuan still chose to go with her mother.

Song Dalang wanted to support Wen Bao, but he really couldn't spare his arms to hug her, so he insisted on following her on his short legs, but in the end Meihua felt sorry for her and asked Wu Yong to hug her and follow her.

The four members of Liquan's family also just came out of the house. Shui Di was the first to call out when she saw Tuantuan, and Zhang Lian immediately asked Song Dalang to help her into the house after seeing Wen Bao's face was not looking good.

"If you feel uncomfortable, let someone call me. Why do you have to do it yourself?" Zhang Lian said reproachful words, but she didn't want to be idle for a moment, and immediately took out the pulse pillow.

Wen Bao smiled without saying a word, Tuantuan finally squeezed into the room from Shui Di, obediently guarded Wen Bao, and looked at Zhang Lian with big eyes.

Zhang Lian started to feel Wen Bao's pulse, but her eyes were attracted by Tuantuan's big eyes.

"Tuantuan, do you know what Aunt Lian is doing?"

Tuantuan nodded immediately after hearing Zhang Lian's words. She naturally knew that Aunt Lian could make both bitter and sweet medicines.

Zhang Lian looked at Tuantuan and nodded, originally wanted to continue teasing Tuantuan, but suddenly let out a 'huh'.

Hearing Zhang Lian's doubtful voice, everyone looked up at her, and after Zhang Lian checked carefully again, they released Wen Bao's wrist.

"Tuantuan, do you know what happened to your mother?"

Zhang Lian spoke seriously, but Tuantuan shook her head, swallowed the saliva in her mouth, then Tuantuan said: "Aunt Lian, is mother sick and needs bitter medicine?"

"Your mother is not sick, it's just that your mother is going to give birth to a younger brother."

As soon as Zhang Lian finished speaking, Tuantuan's eyes widened, and she raised her fat arms to touch Wen Bao's belly, but finally stopped, not daring to touch.

After hearing Zhang Lian's words, Wen Bao confirmed that he was indeed pregnant, so he gently placed Tuantuan's hands on his abdomen.

"Tuantuan, it's not that mother is sick. Don't be afraid, it's just that mother is going to give birth to a younger brother for Tuantuan. Let's protect the younger brother together with father and mother, okay?"

Tuantuan no longer hated his younger brother, upon hearing Wen Bao's words, Tuantuan immediately closed his eyes with a smile, and replied sweetly: "Okay, Tuantuan is the elder sister, take care of younger brother."

Seeing Wen Bao talking to Tuantuan, Zhang Lian looked at Song Dalang and said, "It's okay, it's just too hot recently, and it's too cold to use ice to cool off, so keep the ice cubes away from her in the future.

When you are pregnant, even if it is hot, you can't put too many ice cubes in the room because you are greedy for cold.Also, she hasn't been sleeping well recently, so I don't prescribe medicine for her, just boil some water to soak her feet before going to bed at night. "

Zhang Lian knew that Song Dalang cared about Wen Bao, and Song Dalang had taken care of Wen Bao when he was pregnant, so it's no problem to explain this to Song Dalang now.

Song Dalang naturally took down what Zhang Lian said carefully, thinking of moving the ice cubes in the house farther away after returning home.
