farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 208

Early summer is getting hotter, and the nearby families like to move a small stool under the plane trees in front of He's house to enjoy the shade.The leaves of the sycamore tree are wide and can block most of the sun and heat, thus forming a natural shade. At the moment, Sister Yun, the eldest granddaughter of Uncle He's family, is playing with her younger sister, Sister Fang, under the tree.

Since Xiuniang is about to give birth, she doesn't have the energy to take care of the child at all. Sister Yun is nearly five years old this year, and it's time for her to help with the housework within her capacity. Taking care of the youngest sister, Sister Fang, is the most important one.

Sister Fang, whose trouser legs were covered in mud, was lying on the ground, grabbing something and stuffing it into her mouth.When Sister Yun saw it, she hurriedly shouted, "Sister Fang, don't grab the mud and eat it."

Sister Fang ignored her and stuffed it into her mouth. Sister Yun ran over and quickly flicked her sister's hand away, "What did you eat? Spit it out quickly?"

As he said that, he was about to pinch his sister's mouth.

Probably thinking that her sister was playing with her, Sister Fang grinned, and when she smiled, her mouth mixed with mud fell down.

Sure enough, she grabbed something unclean and ate it. Sister Yun was taken aback, raised her hand and patted her younger sister's back vigorously. Sister Fang spat it out after a burst of 'wow'. Sister Yun checked it carefully several times. Then let go of my sister.

"What is Sister Yun in a hurry for? You won't get sick if you don't do anything dirty." Seeing her, an aunt who also came to enjoy the shade next to her laughed and joked about the anxious Sister Yun.

"My aunt said that children can't eat mud, they will get sick. My aunt is a doctor!" Sister Yun replied solemnly.Standing among a group of adults, the little man raised his head, with a somewhat smug expression on his face.

Someone nearby immediately echoed: "Yes! Your Aunt Xihua is a well-known doctor in Daliang Town, and Sister Yun must be right."

"Sister Yun is really obedient."

"Sister Yun is also sensible, and can take care of my sister so well."

"..."

Everyone chattered and joked about the delicate and lovely little girl. Hearing the praise, Sister Yun bowed her head in embarrassment.

"Your mother is about to give birth, Sister Yun, do you want a younger brother or younger sister?" Suddenly someone asked.

Sister Yun said loudly, "Brother!"

After finishing speaking, Sister Yun bit her lip and bit her skin, and the young person couldn't help feeling a little depressed.Regarding this question, when my mother asked for the first time, Sister Yun couldn't understand the difference between a younger brother and a younger sister. She thought that she had a younger sister, Sister Fang, who was better than a younger sister, so she said, "I want a younger sister."The mother's face turned dark immediately, and she slapped herself a few times without hesitation.

Later, my mother asked her to say "I want a younger brother" with a tiger's face, so I didn't get beaten again.

Sister Yun still feels aggrieved thinking about it now.Her grandparents, father, and uncle never beat her, and this was the first time she was beaten, and she remembered it clearly.So when someone asked her this question again, Sister Yun knew she had to answer "I want a younger brother".

Sure enough, the people around laughed and said, "Sister Yun is really sensible." '

Sister Yun was silent after hearing this. She didn't like this question very much.Because of this incident, my mother couldn't count how many times she beat Sister Fang.

Although Sister Fang was born earlier than Brother Yu, she learned the tongue later. Brother Yu can already call parents clearly, but Sister Fang can only speak a few simple words until now.Every time Xiuniang coaxed her little daughter to say that she had a younger brother in her belly, Sister Fang couldn't learn it.

How could Xiuniang not be angry?When she got angry, Xiuniang couldn't help beating her little daughter, which often caused Sister Fang to cry continuously.

This is why Sister Yun always likes to bring her younger sister to Uncle He Sheng's house to play.If she didn't stay at home, her mother wouldn't beat her sister. Besides, the aunt of Uncle He Sheng's family treated her very gently, never being aggressive, and would cook a lot of delicious food.

It's a pity that my aunt is not at home today. It is said that people from the next village have invited me to see a doctor.Sister Yun lowered her head, feeling very regretful.

At noon, the cicadas that kept screaming on the tree also had a rest, and everyone yawned one after another.Slowly, I saw someone packing up the sewing basket and preparing to go back to take a nap. Not long after, Second Aunt He also came over and called Sister Yun and the two sisters to go home.

Sister Yun took her younger sister and went home obediently.

Zhang Xihua, who was missed by Sister Yun, was accompanied by He Sheng at the Lizheng family in the next village. The eldest grandson of the other family suddenly had a fever in the middle of the night. He invited the barefoot doctor in the village to drink the medicine, but the fever was still very severe. Hearing that Zhang Xihua is very proficient in pediatrics, the family was so anxious that their mouths were bubbling, but there was nothing they could do. They rushed to Xiaxi Village to hire someone in a hurry.

When the other party came home, it was almost lunch time, and Zhang Xihua also knew that he was in a hurry, so she rushed over without worrying about preparing lunch.

Zhang Xihua has already confirmed that she is pregnant, and it is less than two months away, so she has to be careful in everything.So He Sheng was very worried, the weather was already very hot, and he had to go on his way again, fearing that his daughter-in-law's health would go wrong, so he followed him.

Before Zhang Xihua came, she asked about the child's symptoms, and she had a good idea. She brought herbs from home, made a detailed diagnosis, and prescribed medicine. After the child took it, the fever gradually subsided.The child's fever is the most annoying thing. Seeing that the temperature has dropped, everyone can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's not that everything will be fine once the fever subsides, because I'm afraid of recurring fever, going back and forth to Xiaxi Village may delay my illness, so I asked Zhang Xihua and his wife to stay for a while, Zhang Xihua also wanted to observe more, and went home when he stabilized.

Therefore, the two were left for lunch.

The family's surname is Chen, and as the leader of a village, life is naturally better than most villagers.At this time, the meals for Zhang Xihua and his wife consisted of two meat dishes and three vegetarian dishes. Apart from a pot of corn porridge as the staple food, there were pancakes baked with white flour.

Chen Lizheng politely invited the two of them to the table, but He Sheng also politely declined and accepted.

In order to avoid poor hospitality, the pancakes baked by the Chen family were specially wrapped in lard, so that when they were twisted, one hand would feel greasy. If they were placed in another house, this would be the best hospitality.Once at the dinner table, without further ado, Chen Lizheng shared a few pancakes with He Sheng and his wife, and said with a smile, "You two are welcome, just eat! We have enough pancakes. There are still so many dishes, put them all together." Let’s eat, don’t be polite.”

Putting the two pancakes into the bowl, Zhang Xihua glanced at them, and could hardly bear the nausea in her chest, but fortunately, He Sheng immediately took the pancakes out of her bowl.He Sheng apologized slightly and said, "I'm not being polite. My wife has been feeling unwell recently and can't eat greasy food. Mr. Chen, please don't take care of us. I'll just serve my wife a bowl of porridge."
