Chapter 211

Outside the gate, Lu Zhengxiang was standing outside with his neck shrunken, waiting for Guo Lanying to open the door.

Now that the weather is getting colder, most people in the village have put on coats, but he is still only wearing a short-sleeved singlet.The clothes had been washed to fade their original color. Since he had been doing construction work before and worked with concrete all day long, there were a lot of cement slag that could not be washed off in the fibers of the clothes.

Guo Lanying opened the door, and seeing him standing outside shrugged, she asked, "Zhengxiang, are you not cold?"

Lu Zhengxiang called his sister-in-law, then straightened up on purpose, smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not that cold, I'm used to it." After speaking, his face turned red.

Guo Lanying knew about his family's situation, so she had no choice but to ask no further questions, and said, "Congjun is not at home, so you have something to ask him?"

Lu Zhengxiang lowered his head slightly, hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth with difficulty: "Sister-in-law, I'm not looking for Congjun, I just want...to borrow some eggs from you."

"Borrow eggs?" Guo Lanying was a little surprised by this remark. Eggs are not a rare thing in every household. People in the countryside can't raise a few old hens for laying eggs.

Guo Lanying's rhetorical question made Lu Zhengxiang's head even lower. He knew that eggs are not precious items these days, but his family's situation is quite special. There are many children in the family, and there are only two hens. There are not enough eggs for the children at home, so how can there be any leftovers!

"How much do you want, is ten enough for you?" Seeing his embarrassed face, Guo Lanying knew that he was usually an honest person, and now he took the initiative to come to the door to ask, probably because the children at home were in a panic.

"Enough is enough, it doesn't take a dozen or so, just a few." Lu Zhengxiang thought, these few eggs can also support Damei for two or three days, and after a few days he gets paid, and then Ask Congjun to buy a box and go back and eat slowly.He has calculated that although he did not work a few days on the chicken farm last month, the wages are still enough to buy a carton of eggs.

Guo Lanying opened the door a bit, and said to him: "Come in, there are some left at home, I'll take them back for you." After saying that, she led Lu Zhengxiang directly into the hall, and asked him to wait in the hall .

Chunmei could hear the commotion in the hall from the room at the moment, but she didn't go out.The custom in the countryside is that if someone in a family is confinement, when the confinement is not confinement, other people's homes will not come to the house.This saying means that the puerpera is relatively filthy during confinement, and it is easy for outsiders to get angry.However, this Lu Zhengxiang is from the same family, so he doesn't pay much attention to these things, but Chunmei married here and gave birth to a child for the first time, so she didn't know if she had any taboos, so she didn't leave the room.

Guo Lanying packed the remaining twenty or so eggs into a bag, handed them carefully to Lu Zhengxiang, and said to him: "Hey, take it back and give it to the children, they are growing up now. The body really needs to eat better."

Lu Zhengxiang took the egg, but said embarrassingly again: "This egg...is for Damei. She is in confinement now, so she doesn't eat any eggs...no milk."

"What? Didn't you stew some chicken soup and pig's feet or something? How much milk can this egg produce? You have to eat chicken and pig's feet!" Hearing this, Guo Lanying was a little surprised, why only eat some during confinement? What about eggs?
Guo Lanying's words made Lu Zhengxiang's face blush again and again, and now he suddenly regretted running this trip, his face is really panicked with embarrassment now.He muttered awkwardly: "Sister-in-law, I originally wanted to give birth to Damei at home this time, but she was arguing desperately to go to the hospital to give birth that day, so I stayed in the hospital... the family spent about the same amount of money." gone."

……

After hearing this, Guo Lanying couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

Chunmei heard it in the room and felt that it was really difficult for the uncle who joined the army. She thought about it and said to her mother-in-law inside: "Mom, give Auntie a bowl of chicken soup stewed at home, anyway, I also drank it today."

After hearing this, Lu Zhengxiang hurriedly said embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, what an embarrassment, my nephew and daughter-in-law are also confinement now."

Guo Lanying waved her hand, sighed and said: "Okay, you can just bring a bowl, Chunmei has something to drink every day, and she is not short of this bowl." After saying that, she turned and went to the kitchen. ,

Lu Zhengxiang took the eggs out of the living room, he stood by the patio and felt very uncomfortable, he felt his face was burning when he came here and took this and that.As the pillar of the family, he allowed his wife and children to live such a poor life.

"Come on, take it here and don't spill it. Just bring the bowl back to me when you have time later." Guo Lanying filled a large bowl with chicken soup and handed it directly to Lu Zhengxiang.

Lu Zhengxiang took the bowl and said with an unnatural face: "Sister-in-law, I'll get the money for the eggs in a few days."

"Oh, forget it. Just a few eggs, give them to Damei, you don't need to pay." Guo Lanying sighed again, honestly, if the eggs were given to children, she would have no objection at all, but thinking of She still felt a little nervous about giving that delicious food to her.In the past two months, so many things in the family were caused by Na Damei's fanning the flames. Thinking of this, she felt uncomfortable.

Lu Zhengxiang left, Guo Lanying went back to the living room, went into Chunmei's room and said to her, "The chicken soup is for that beauty, don't you remember how she treated you?"

Chunmei was sitting on the bed holding the baby and coaxing her. She looked at her mother-in-law and said, "Why don't I remember, in fact, I still don't like her very much now. But it's not easy for me to look at Uncle Zhengxiang. You look like he's going through life Now that he has become like this, if it is not very difficult, he will not ask for help easily. He is not the only uncle in the army. I think I can help if I can. Besides, that child is also innocent. He is so young. If you drink milk, it's pretty pitiful."

Guo Lanying listened, smiled gratifiedly, and said: "It's better that you are more open-minded than Mom. Mom just thought it was for that big beauty, and I feel very uncomfortable."

Chunmei smiled understandingly, she was in the same mood as her mother-in-law.

In other words, after Lu Zhengxiang took the eggs back, he immediately put the eggs in the kitchen, and then he entered the room with the still hot chicken soup.

The three children saw him bring a bowl of something fragrant. Although they didn't know what it was, the smell was enough to attract them.Congsen is a bit older, so he won't bother to eat even if he is greedy.But Xiao Xiang and Cong Lin were still relatively young, they couldn't help but salivate when they smelled the fresh fragrance, and followed Lu Zhengxiang into Da Mei's room.

"Father, what is that? I want to eat it too." Xiaoxiang bit her finger and looked at the bowl of chicken soup that was placed on the table.

"This is for your mother, go out without your share!" Lu Zhengxiang was very helpless, he knew that the children wanted to eat, but there was only one bowl of chicken soup, and it could only be reserved for his wife, Damei, who was going to breastfeed.

"What's that?" Wu Damei smelled the smell very fragrant, although she just ate a bowl of lard mixed with white porridge, but now she still doesn't feel full after smelling it.
