Chapter 345: The Little Wife of Orion (4)

When the Ji family came back and saw Ji Huai lying in the yard basking in the sun, their reaction was similar to that of sister Ji, but they said nice things. They hoped that Ji Huai would get better soon, but their thoughts were different.
Ji Huai responded perfunctorily, and continued to make up bamboo baskets without stopping. If you are looking forward to his good, how can you rush to split the family? Are you afraid of being dragged down by him?
The family love he prayed for was so fragile, even false.
Near noon, Tang Xiu'er came back, and she went to pick up some wild vegetables. This time I walked a bit far, so I was so tired and panting, my forehead was sweaty, and my face was a little pale.
She has been deprived of nutrients for a long time, and her body is so thin that she can collapse when blown by the wind. Ji Huai was frightened when he was walking, and his eyebrows were tightly twisted together.
"I saw that the time was late, so I walked a little hurriedly." Tang Xiu'er's feet were really a little weak, and she walked up to him and sat down on the steps in front of the door to pant.
"You are still pregnant with a child, so what are you so anxious to do?" Ji Huai said lightly, lifting the kettle she put aside this morning, and poured a bowl of water for her.
Tang Xiu'er took the bowl and drank water, lowered her eyebrows, and listened obediently.
She has always been very obedient. She used to listen to Ji's mother, and later listened to him. She did not dare to refuse the words of Ji's sister-in-law and Ji's sister-in-law.
After Tang Xiu'er finished drinking the water, she saw the bamboo basket he had made up and took it over and looked again. He was good-looking and strong, and he couldn't help but praise, "You made it better than the one you bought."
He also made some small things from time to time, and she also thought he was just boring, so she relieved her boredom easily.
"Really?" Ji Huai raised his eyebrows, his expression relaxed a lot, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Really." She definitely nodded, and vomited, "The small bamboo basket I bought in the town last time was not good at all. It was deformed after a few strokes."
Hearing, although he did not return, his hand movements accelerated. Looking at her slightly childish side, an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"I'm going to cook." Tang Xiu'er saw Ji Er's wife come out and stood up.
She went to the room to fetch rice, picked up the bag, her eyes narrowed a lot, there was only a little rice left in it, and it was probably only enough for today.
When she went out to the kitchen, she shrank and hid, for fear that Ji Huai would see it.
In the kitchen.
Tang Xiuer started washing rice and cooking. When washing the rice, she reached into the bag, grabbed a little, and then slowly put it down, feeling that there was too little. Ji Huai was afraid that she would not be full, so she could only close her eyes and take a little more.
Fortunately, I picked enough wild vegetables today, so I'll cook more wild vegetables in a while.
I don't know if the chickens lay eggs today, she thought and walked out quickly.
Sister Ji took advantage of her to leave, bent over and stretched out her hand to open the rice bag. Seeing that there were less than two handfuls of rice inside, her eyes showed disgust.
"The chicken lay an egg today." Tang Xiu'er's voice came back from outside, she was talking to Ji Huai, her expression was very happy.
"Then cook it for you." Ji Huai slowed down and looked up at her.
"No, I have to eat it for you, so that you can heal faster, shall I make egg soup for you?" She grabbed the egg tightly and asked his opinion aloud.
Ji Huai didn't say anything to her again: "It's OK."
Tang Xiu'er's footsteps were getting closer and closer to the kitchen. Sister Ji walked aside and saw that she was busy. She walked over and smiled and said, "Ji Huai looks really good today, she looks much better."
I'm good, but I'm lame. What can I do in the future?
"Yeah." Tang Xiu'er was still quite happy, nodding her head and smiling at the corners of her mouth.
"But you have to insist on taking medicine, maybe you will be able to recover the same as before in a few days. If you don't feel bad about the money for taking medicine, talent is the most important thing." Sister Ji stood aside and slowly induced.
Tang Xiu'er didn't reply.
She felt that Li Langzhong was really unreliable. After taking the medicine for so many days, it didn't get better, and Ji Huai still hurt so much. It would be much better if he stopped the medicine for a few days. The thought of him still suffering so much after spending so much money made her feel bored.
Sister Ji saw that she didn’t speak, her eyes flashed, and she continued,
It’s all a family. If you have any difficulties, you must tell us. Although we are separated, Ji Huai’s business must be my elder brother’s business. The medicine must be taken! The medicine cannot be stopped."
She still doesn't know that Tang Xiuer likes Ji Huai?
You have to spend money to take medicine, the child can regenerate in the future, Ji Huai is going to be lame, that's a lifetime thing!
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Tang Xiu'er smiled at her with her lips, she didn't know if the other party was polite or not, she took it seriously. Ji Huai still doesn't know how, she can't make any money, for fear it will affect him. If Mrs. Ji and the others are willing to help them, she would be grateful.
"You're welcome, are you enough to cook this meal? Do you want me to get you some rice? By the way, my pickled salted radish can be eaten, I will get you some, this thing is good for dinner." The attitude became more enthusiastic, and before Tang Xiu'er refused, she ran to the other side and brought a small butterfly to the salted radish.
There are finely crushed chili powder on the salted radish. Tang Xiu'er was very greedy and hot when she was pregnant. When she smelled it, she couldn't help swallowing. But she knew that Sister Ji was a person who did not get up early, and she suddenly showed her courtesy and something was wrong, so she refused repeatedly, "Thank you, Sister-in-law, you can keep it and eat. Ji Huai is recovering from his wounds and cannot eat."
"He can't eat you." Sister Ji put aside and insisted on giving it to her.
Tang Xiuer had no choice but to accept it, and thanked her sincerely, "Thank you sister-in-law."
She is a simple and easily satisfying person. In the past, sister-in-law and brother Ji were so mean to them, and sister-in-law Ji treated her badly, at this moment she felt a little better. Everyone didn't seem to be that bad. She also took the initiative to say, "Tomorrow I will pick wild vegetables, and I will pick some for my sister-in-law."
If others treat her well, she will pay three points.
"No, you can save it to eat, and eat more dishes." Sister Ji rarely said no. After speaking, she looked at her belly and then looked at the rice bag, pretending to be inadvertent, "Do you know the Li family? 'S daughter? The one who hired the son-in-law."
"Yes." Tang Xiuer responded. Seeing the water boiled, I put wild vegetables in it, stirred again, and carefully put the eggs aside.
The Li family opened a bakery in the town. The Li family’s daughter is a little fat, wears gold and silver, likes rouge and gouache, and loves beauty.
"Yeah, I hired a door-to-door son-in-law. I have been married for so long, and there is no movement in my stomach. The Li family has only one daughter. No, I heard that I will'adopt' a child to inherit the Li family's family business." As he spoke, he raised his voice and slowly said, "You said that the Li family has such a big family business, and there is no child? I must adopt one. The child will definitely eat spicy food as soon as he enters, and he will be the child of a big family. No worries."
Tang Xiu'er hadn't listened much, but the more she heard it, the more she felt something was wrong, and her egg-beating hand slowed down, and she didn't say anything.
Seeing that she was silent, Sister Ji continued to say,
It’s difficult to raise a child now. In recent years, it’s not easy to collect in Chengdu. It is said that many people take the initiative to send their children to their homes, and ask the nurses and maids to take care of them. The Li family also It's kind, and it will definitely lead a good life after being sent in, and the benefits will certainly not be less."
If it were the past, Tang Xiu'er might find it understandable. But after becoming a mother, the child is connected to himself. If it’s not that there is no way, and there is nowhere to go, which mother is willing to give her own child to others?
She poured the egg in, flipped it with a shovel, and asked, "Will the old lady be willing to send the two of them to the big family to live a good life?"
"I" sister Ji choked for a while.
Of course she didn't want to. Her son was born desperately and sent to a big family to live a good life. How could she still recognize her as a mother?
At that time, no one knew who she was.
"That's not it. I sent a heart and hung it." Tang Xiuer saw that the eggs were cooked, took the bowl, filled the egg soup, and went to work again.
Sister Ji stood aside, but Tang Xiu'er didn't talk to the other party again. When the rice was cooked and left, Xiaodie's salty radish did not take away. The sister-in-law Ji is angry, but she doesn’t know what’s good or bad,
Ji Huai still doesn’t know when he will get better and what will you raise the child? Where can the midwife go? People will give Ji Huai a lot of money. Doctor, he can heal his leg! I don't mean anything else, I just tell you."
"Furthermore, what benefit can I get? It just feels that you are difficult. When the time comes, the children will suffer. What do you eat in confinement? Is it possible to become a family and starve to death?"
"I don't think you have any more rice in your rice bag. I will give you some."
Sister Ji made it clear, and she had to pretend to be considerate of them.
"No need." Tang Xiuer paused, refusing so decisively and tough for the first time.
She knew that Sister Ji was okay, and they didn't want to behave like this. Wouldn't that let her sell the child?
When she walked out the door, Tang Xiu'er seemed to hear Sister Ji's snorting, as if she was laughing at her ignorance and stupidity. The sky has changed a bit, a cool breeze blows, her body shrinks, a cold air comes from the soles of her feet, and her whole body feels cold.
Inside the debris house.
The two were sitting on the bed with a broken but clean table on which was padded with things.
Tang Xiu'er pushed the egg soup in front of him and told him to drink it while it was hot.
"You drink." Ji Huai picked up a bowl to eat, and pushed the egg soup back.
"I do not"
Before she finished speaking, he looked up and said to her, "Since the two of you don't drink, then give it to the child."
Tang Xiuer: ""
Isn't she drinking it?
I couldn't hold back Ji Huai, and the other party didn't coax, so he directly pushed the egg soup in front of her, beckoning her to drink it quickly.
"How about one person and half?" She was not willing to drink all of it. She always wanted to give him something to eat first. Besides, he is still sick. He used to like eggs very much. Now he has eaten wild vegetables for half a month.
"There is no need to divide an egg in half. After I'm done, I will set a trap and grab some game to eat." Ji Huai waved his hand, seeming not to care, and finished the meal in twos or twos. Half of the wild vegetables are left on the table, but his meal has already been eaten.
"The mountains are dangerous, don't go." Tang Xiu'er was anxious when he heard that he was going to set a trap.
Ji Huai answered, "It is not necessary to enter the mountain. I know where it is safe and where it is dangerous."
She didn't understand this and didn't dare to refute it. Can only ask him if he wants to eat more.
Ji Huai shook his head, "I'm full, you eat."
Tang Xiuer was eating silently. Xu Shi had something in her heart. She drank the egg soup and it didn't taste good, and she didn't even taste it in her mouth. She kept thinking about Sister Ji's words.
Ji Huai didn't know when he would get better. According to this situation, it might take a few months to raise him. Their rice is gone, what should I do if the child is born?
She has no milk, they have no money, not even money to hire a midwife.
Tang Xiu'er was only fifteen or six years old after all, and she was still a child. When she thought of this, her body began to weaken. What happens to her children if she dies? What about Ji Huai?
Seeing her face pale, Ji Huai asked aloud, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
Her body is too nutritious, and she really needs to make up for it.
"There is no rice at home. I am going to take that hen to exchange for rice tomorrow. I also embroidered a purse and a handkerchief, and then change it so that we can eat for a while." Tang Xiuer ate the eggs, but It's not delicious at all.
In order not to waste, so that the child can get nourishment, she resisted eating.
"The hens have to keep the eggs for you to eat, and they can't be sold." Ji Huai denied, and then said, "Didn't you say that the bamboo baskets I made are better than the ones sold? I will make some of them today and let them tomorrow morning. Xiao Huangzi took it with you to the town to sell it."
Xiao Huangzi is an orphan in the village. He used to go hunting occasionally with him. Now he is only ten years old. He is a poor child who grew up eating a hundred families. He has chronic malnutrition and his hair is slightly yellowed.
"Can you sell it?" Tang Xiu'er hadn't actually sold it, so she was a little skeptical.
"Didn't you say that I made it stronger than they made it?" Ji Huai was unhappy, her pupils shrank slightly as she spoke to coax him.
He is a bit arrogant and does not allow others to look down upon.
"No, it's really better than theirs." Tang Xiu'er quickly affirmed.
"Then why can't it be sold?" he asked.
Tang Xiu'er had nothing to say, she lowered her head and grabbed her little hand, but didn't dare to provoke him, "I don't know how to sell, it's not that I can't sell it."
This is the truth.
Ji Huai: "Then let Xiao Huangzi sell it."
She nodded.
In the afternoon, Ji Huai didn't go out, so he made bamboo baskets in the house. Tang Xiu'er was sitting at one side of the table embroidering. She wanted to finish embroidering the purse by tomorrow.
If the bamboo baskets can be sold, maybe they will have a source of livelihood in the future. She will embroider a little more purse in a few months so that she can save some money.
She doesn't want to send this child out, so she must be able to raise it.
Sister Ji's words have been circling in her mind. She doesn't want to send the child out, but what about Ji Huai?
She didn't know his thoughts, but if he insisted on sending the child out, she would not agree. But what should she do?
Tang Xiu'er was confused and frightened. She didn't know Ji Huai's feelings for this child, and he didn't seem to care much. Ji Mu cared very much, but Ji Mu was gone.
If Ji Huai really wants to send the child out, who can give her the shot?
Just thinking about it, the needle pierced her fingertips. She hissed, her fingers shrank back, and the blood beads from the fingertips began to leak out.
Ji Huai looked up for the first time, but he couldn't come over, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is it hurt?"
She put her fingertips in her mouth and shook her head.
"Let me see." He looked at her exit, and after finishing speaking, he saw that she hadn't come over yet, and repeated, "Come over and I have a look."
Tang Xiu'er moved small steps and walked towards him. Seeing Ji Huai have been watching her, the whole person was stretched, walking slowly and slowly.
When he reached him, he stretched out his hand to pull her hand over, looked down twice, and touched his slightly callused thumb, "Forget it, don't embroider, hurt your eyes and body, and you're pregnant with a child. ."
"I want to embroider, there is no money at home." Xu was because he started to think about her, and his hand was still being held. Her grievances came up just now and choked and said, "My sister-in-law just said that the Li family is going to be... if I don't Earn money, what should I do when I have a baby? Where can I get the money from the midwife, how can I afford it? Are we going to give him away?"
The little girl was still crying, and her shoulders began to tremble when she talked about her grievances, not to mention her grievances.
She also had a tentative mind, and she didn't know what Ji Huai thought of this matter. He has always valued his two elder brothers and sisters, if he agrees to give away the child, then she will consider herself and the child.
She has been abandoned since she was a child, so she will definitely not abandon her child.
Before he finished his words, Ji Huai's face was already dark, and he said in a loud voice, "I am a waste person again, and I will naturally go to make money to feed you. I don't care what the Li family and Zhang family are, whether it is adopted or not, my own child, I will eat salt. Raise yourself! This is not something you should worry about. You should raise your baby properly."
He was so angry, as if his dignity had been insulted.
What kind of man gave away his first child? Are you still a man?
In the previous life, Sister Ji also raised this matter. Although he is lame, he wants face because he is lame, so he wants a healthy child. When the other party mentioned it, he immediately vetoed it and lost his temper.
This is why Tang Xiu'er worked hard and made money to support him later. He left the child, at least he didn't even think about giving it away.
Sister-in-law Ji was so angry that it was five taels of silver, and it was about to be obtained, but Ji Huai quit.
It just so happened that those rumors were spreading outside, so she wanted to make a living and told Ji Huai about these things. Both the inside and the outside hinted that the child who stayed desperately didn't know if it was his.
At that time, he moved his mind to send the child out. Knowing that it is important for her to treat her child, I want her to be punished.
Sister Ji and he didn't expect things to evolve to the last point. The child died, Tang Xiuer committed suicide.
Sister Ji only lost fifty taels of silver that he hadn't obtained, but stupidly he lost his wife and son, and his family was ruined.
Seeing Ji Huai's excitement, Tang Xiu'er's tears were all suffocated, and a heart slowly fell to the ground. It was fine if he disagreed.
Ji Huai looked at her with red and swollen eye sockets, his temper receded, and his voice slowed down, "Don't think about it, I will be fine when you give birth. I am a big man, can't I still be able to support you? Whatever I go to can afford you!"
His words were like An Xin Wan, Tang Xiu'er's chaotic thoughts gradually smoothed out, and then nodded.
evening.
Sister Ji and Brother Ji talked about it, pulling their faces, "I don't want to look at what is going on now, she still looks like a spine, I kindly give her some rice, and she doesn't want it or anything."
"Can I harm her? The child can be born again, and now I can't live on it. I don't know where to get the food tomorrow. There is only an old hen left. Could it be that they drink the northwest wind?"
She was talked back by Tang Xiu'er, she couldn't get up, and she was very rude, venting her anger.
Elder Brother Ji sat, irritated while listening, and waved his hand, "Stop talking, how do they like to do it, you should also relax, don't let people say that they are forcing them to sell their children, when the time comes, will you have to face? "
Since the separation, the people in the village have been very critical of them, and once he heard others talking about their brothers being ruthless and unjust.
It was Sister Ji who instigated the division of the family back then. Although he wanted to divide it too, for fear of being involved by Ji Huai, he still felt ashamed when he was made fun of.
"I know." Sister Ji was also annoyed, pulling the quilt to sleep. Seeing the two sons by the bed, he scolded them a few words and told them to sleep inside.
She wanted to see how Ji Huai and his wife could survive just by the embroidery work and wild vegetables. I have picked wild vegetables for half a month, and Tang Xiu'er has all picked wild vegetables nearby.
In winter, what should I do?
The second day.
Brother Ji and his wife went to work in the field, and brought their two daughters. Their children are only six or seven years old, but they can also mow the grass.
The two couples didn't talk much. Seeing Ji Huai sitting in the courtyard weaving bamboo baskets again, after a few polite questions, they left.
On the road, Ji Er’s sister-in-law followed in the footsteps of Ji Er’s brother, and said,
The third brother looks much better. He was just lying in a nest yesterday. Today, he was half-lying, and that foot seems to be able to bend. Do you think it will be all right Get up and go hunting at that time."
Her family is poor and can't eat meat once a year. When she comes to Ji's family, she can eat meat every few days. All this depends on Ji Huai, of course she missed the days at that time.
When Ji Huai heard that Ji Huai's feet were getting better, the two daughters beside her pursed their lips. The eldest daughter raised her head and asked her, "Mother, do we have chicken to eat? And hare to eat."
The fried hare and chicken are delicious.
They haven't eaten it for a long time.
"Eat, eat, what to eat?" The second brother Ji interrupted calmly and waited for the second sister-in-law. "At the beginning, the sister-in-law said that he wanted to separate. Didn't you agree quickly? Can you give us points? Are you really a fool in Ji Huai?"
Ji Ersao was scolded, she shrank her neck, and whispered, "Li Langzhong said that his legs can't be cured, but how nice is the weather? Besides, the third brother is not the one who cares. Even if the house is separated, isn’t the kitchen connected? He doesn’t know how to eat alone. I want him to get better so that everyone’s life will be better."
Li Langzhong said that Ji Huai was going to be lame, and she was afraid that she would be involved, so after hearing what Ji Huai said, she quickly separated her family. Ji Huai was indeed half-dead during that time. She thought she couldn't make it through. Who knew the other party seemed to be getting better and better.
Brother Ji heard it too.
No matter how excessive they did, Ji Huai would not be angry with them, nor would he hate them. After a while, I thought of them as well as anything delicious.
Everyone shares the same stove, what good food can I hide? Can't eat meat behind their backs?
He also wants Ji Huai to get better soon. As for the separation, isn't it because Ji's mother is gone? When they split up, they also gave Ji Huai a bag of rice. Isn’t it too much?
Brother Ji also went to work, and sister-in-law Ji was still at home. According to her observation yesterday, Ji Huai and the others only had enough rice for one day. She wanted to see if there was no rice today, what should Tang Xiuer do.
The only thing they could change rice was the old hen, but the old hen was still there, and the vegetables in the ground didn't grow much, and there was still a long time before they could eat.
Sister Ji saw that Ji Huai was still making bamboo baskets, she deliberately walked over, looking left and right, "Why didn't you see Xiu'er today? Haven't you woken up yet?"
After speaking, he deliberately looked at the sundries room. Oh my God, it's so dark inside, so small, and I slept in it to death.
"She went to town." Ji Huai did not look up, and then reached for a bamboo pole.
"Go to town?" Sister Ji didn't react a little bit, and then slowed down, "Are you going to sell it with her embroidered purse?"
Tang Xiu'er is smarter than her, and her purse and veil are also embroidered by her, which looks pretty. It is said that it will cost a lot of money to buy it.
"Yeah." Ji Huai's tone was neither salty nor light.
Sister Ji knew it well, and observed him again. Among the three brothers of the Ji family, Ji Huai is the best, the eldest brother Ji is strong, and the second brother Ji is a bamboo pole. Only Ji Huai has a long body and is just right. Because of hunting all the year round, his muscles are tough, and he looks more masculine than those two brothers.
At that time, she met Ji Huai, and she was in love with Ji Huai, but it was a pity that she was two years older than him. Otherwise, it would be better to marry Ji Huai than to marry Big Brother Ji.
If he were to marry Ji Huai, he would not share the prey he brought with the rest of the people. Their family's life is still not known.
What about Orion? A good life is the last word!
Forget it, when I thought that he was already a lame, Ji's sister-in-law lost her mind again, and she began to be grateful that she didn't marry Ji Huai, or she would be laughed at.
Sister Ji narrowed her expression, smiled and said, "Xiu'er changed rice, right? Yesterday I told her to give her some rice. After all, it's not easy for you recently. I asked you to slow down. She said no, it turned out to be herself. If you want to buy it, then I can rest assured."
Ji Huai and Ji Mu never allowed Tang Xiu'er to be disrespectful to them, so Tang Xiu'er never dared to talk back to them, and the other party would not generally refuse to do what she asked each other to do.
She deliberately told Ji Huai this time that Tang Xiu'er could treat her kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he would definitely pull her face down.
Sure enough, Ji Huai wrinkled her eyebrows, stopped her hand movement, looked at her with her head up, her face sullenly, "Why did she decline sister-in-law's kindness?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm going to sell pouches today. I didn't take the salted radish that I brought her to eat. It didn't mean anything else, but I'll give you a taste if it's good for dinner. "Sister Ji continued.
Ji Huai definitely didn't know about this. He used to give them half a hare, and they gave them a little order, and the other party was very happy. Tang Xiu'er refused her kindness again and again, and Ji Huai would definitely not bear it without telling him, and she would give Tang Xiu'er a meal.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will talk about her when she comes back." Ji Huai promised.
"In fact, it's not a big deal, not to mention her, as long as you have something to eat." Sister Ji continued to laugh, her expression very satisfied.
No matter what they do, Ji Huai will not lose his temper with them, rushing to please them.
What is Tang Xiu'er? A maid bought with money is nothing but a scallion?
Ji Huai said, "She may think it is not easy for you, so she didn't ask for it. But she also knows that it is indeed difficult for us now. Would you and brother lend us half a bag of rice? We will pay it back later."
Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Ji’s smile had disappeared, she was stumbling and embarrassed, "How can we have so many meters? You know, the harvest this year is not good, this"
Ji Huai: "Didn’t Sister-in-law just said that she wanted to give us some? I thought Sister-in-law has it, and we really don’t have rice. Sister-in-law should give as much as she wanted, and it will take five or six days to eat."
He spoke lightly, as if casually.
"How can we have so much? The food is tight this year, and I'm afraid I will be hungry after a while." Sister Ji quickly declined, desperately making excuses.
When she heard Ji Huai's tone, she seemed to rely on her, she was almost scared to death. Five or six days of food fluttering, I am really embarrassed, why not grab it?
"Yes, it is not easy for everyone, nor is it easy for Big Brother." Ji Huai expressed his understanding.
Sister Ji was in pain at first, but when she saw that he didn't want it, she started to worry again. After all, she wants to please Ji Huai, enduring the pain and saying, "Everyone is a family. My brother and I can't get the food for five or six days, but three days will be fine. You are still injured, and Xiu'er is pregnant with a child. , How can I do without eating?"
"Sister-in-law said so, thank you, sister-in-law." Ji Huai sighed and accepted it reluctantly.
"It's all a family." Sister Ji endured the pain of cutting meat and went to the house to fetch rice.
Although they don't have polished rice, the coarse rice is also very valuable. She never let Brother Ji eat dry rice. These rice can eat several bowls of dry rice!
When she walked out with the rice, she placed it next to Ji Huai, and intentionally or unconsciously said again, "Your leg, you still have to get better quickly. My brother and I can help you for a while, but there will be no way in the future."
What she said and what she said was all for their good. This time Ji Huai received rice, and Ji Huai must be very grateful. At that time, she said that they were powerless and could not give them food, so he thought about sending the child to the Li family for "adoption."
Ji Huai will trust her when it comes, and will not think she hurt him.
"My sister-in-law said, this leg still has to win." Ji Huai touched the slightly curved leg and nodded.
Sister Ji also glanced at her, not believing that she would get better. Ji Huai just waited to be a lame, whether she was a lame, so that she would be balanced in her heart.
When she was gone, Ji Huai looked at the rice bag with his eyes aside, ironic.
Don't do it for nothing, how much good food has he eaten for them all these years? how much did you spend? It's his turn to get a little back.
When Ji's brother and his wife came back from outside, Ji Huai saw that they also took the initiative to say hello. When they got closer, the rice bag on the table next to him fell to the ground.
Ji Huai looked sideways, stretched out his hand and picked it up again, looking fortunately, "Fortunately, I didn't spread it. When will I pick it up?"
The second sister-in-law Ji looked at the rice bag and couldn't help but ask, "Is it filled with rice? Why didn't you take it and put it in the house?"
She heard Sister Ji said that they didn’t have many meters left? Where did this come from?
Ji Huai: "Sister-in-law just gave it to me, but I haven't taken it in yet."
Second sister-in-law Ji still knows about sister-in-law Ji? Iron rooster plucked? Her smile stiffened, and she was very puzzled, "Why did my sister-in-law suddenly give you rice?"
Hearing, Ji Huai sighed and said,
It’s not that we are out of food and squeeze us a little. Xiu'er is pregnant, and I’m recuperating. Sister-in-law wants us to eat well, so my injury can heal quickly. a little."
"Yes." Ji Ersao smiled and went to the other side.
Back in the room, she looked at the second brother Ji, stretched out her hand and pushed the other person again, "You hurry up and get some rice to Ji Huai and the others."
"Where do we have rice?" Brother Ji immediately scolded her, "You can do what others do. We don't have much rice left!"
"Aren't you stupid? Sister-in-law can still do business at a loss? It must be because Ji Huai's legs are getting better, so I rushed to give him rice. You think, when Ji Huai goes hunting, he can still give us meat? Even if you give it to us, it will definitely not be more than the sister-in-law's side!" Ji Er's wife said anxiously, "Is the rice worth or the meat worth?"
Brother Ji suddenly understood, and quickly went to get rice.
He was generous and took two more days of rice than his sister-in-law Ji's house. Ji Huai was thanking him. Sister Ji went out to see it, and stopped immediately, her eyes sank suddenly.
What the is the second child doing? Why did you suddenly take food to please Ji Huai? Is it possible that their family also knew about the Li family’s "adopting" children?
That was fifty taels of silver, enough for ordinary people to live for a year.
She can't let them grab it!
The other end.
Tang Xiu'er has sold out her purse and kerchief. Today was going well. A young lady saw that her embroidery was good, and Xu Shi saw that it was not easy for her to be pregnant, so she bought them all.
As for the bamboo baskets that Ji Huai made up, Xiao Huangzi was helping her sell them, and they all sold them. When Xiao Huangzi put a string of copper plates in her hand, she was taken aback, "Can you sell so many?"
Those bamboo baskets sold more money than the veil and purse she sold.
"Little Brother Ji said that you have to sell the money, and don't sell it if you don't." Xiao Huangzi nodded.
Since Ji Huai said it, Tang Xiu'er eased her mood again. She wanted to give Xiao Huangzi two copper plates, but the other party said nothing. She could only use the money to buy rice and flour.
"I'll bring it up." Little Huangzi was thin, but with great strength, he picked it up and said, "Little brother Ji said, you are pregnant with a child, don't be too tired to mention it, just give it to me."
"Thank you, shall I buy you buns to eat?" Tang Xiu'er herself was reluctant to eat. She wanted to repay her for helping herself.
A steamed bun needs a penny, she feels it is not cheap, she is not willing to eat it, but Xiao Huangzi helped her, she was still willing to buy it.
"No, what's the delicious steamed stuffed bun? When the little brother Ji is ready, we will go hunting in the mountains. When the time comes, roast the caught hare, the taste is not comparable to anything!" Xiao Huangzi Saying that the saliva is about to flow down, he took a hard sip, very aftertaste.
Tang Xiu'er followed him and couldn't help asking, "Do you often go to the mountains to roast hare to eat?"
When she first came to Ji's house, she was also very sticky to Jihuai. She often followed his butt, but he was very annoying to her and kept his face calm and refused to let her follow. As time passed, she dared not bring it up, and stayed at home and worked.
"Of course, there are everything on the mountain. Hare, pheasant, birdies, bird eggs, wild fruits, and a few non-poisonous snakes. They don’t need any cooking wine, they are delicious when roasted. There are sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes in the ground. There are fish in the river, and you can eat whatever you want. The days with Xiaoge Ji are the days of chic and happy life.
Xiao Huangzi said bouncing around, just want Ji Huai to recover quickly, he wants to follow He went happily together.
"Really good." Tang Xiu'er was very envious.
Every time she could only wait for him at home to see what he brought back, and clean it up and send it to Brother Ji and Brother Ji. She never heard him say these things.
"Of course it's all right. When Brother Ji is ready, we can go together." Xiao Huangzi didn't have that much thought, blurted out, thinking that she was pregnant, and comforted, "Little Brother Ji knows where it is safe. There will be wild beasts and big bugs, just play around, and set traps to catch a lot of hares."
Ji Huai didn't talk much at all, let alone tell her these things. Along the way, she walked very slowly, constantly asking Xiao Huangzi about things, where Ji Huai would take him to play and what to do.
She only knew that hunting was dangerous, but she didn't expect it to be so fun and fun.
When he got home, Xiao Huangzi put down his things, greeted Ji Huai and left.
Tang Xiu'er helped him walk into the house, her voice could not hide the surprise, "The bamboo baskets are all sold, and the food we bought is enough for us to eat for half a month."
When the words fell, she saw the rice bag on the ground again, walked over and took a look, and saw that there was rice inside, "Who gave this?"
"Sister-in-law"
"We don't want it!" Before he finished speaking, she became emotional, "We don't want her things! She is not kind at all, me"
Ji Huai stretched out her hand to hold her hand, pulled her over, and said again, "This was given by the eldest brother and the second brother together. They think we have difficulties, and ours is indeed difficult. Can we not give it to you? Accept the kindness of others."
Hearing that both of them gave it, Tang Xiu'er's expression was better, but she was still very entangled, "Why did they give it to us? For nothing."
Those two are very shrewd, but they don't want to lose money. Don’t you think they’re a drag when you split up? What do you give them rice now?
"Maybe it's because my leg will heal soon?" Ji Huai half-joked.
"I think so." She believed this the most, and said very firmly, "Your legs will be good. When we save money, I will invite you Doctor Zhang to come to see you!"
"It's much better today. Let me show you." Ji Huai supported the bed with his hand, and stood up slightly. He couldn't use his foot, but he could walk gently.
"Will it hurt?" She was afraid that he would fall, she reached out to help him.
"No." Ji Huai stopped her movement and continued to move forward. Although he was limping, he was able to go, "I estimate that I will be able to leave in half a month. I don't need to ask a doctor. I'm in good health. I just need to wait for it to recover slowly."
"Then look at it for a few more days, if it's not good, you have to ask a doctor." Tang Xiuer was still worried.
Ji Huai: "Yeah."
After selling bamboo baskets and embroidery products, the two had more than half a month's worth of food. Tang Xiuer fed the old hen a little more food, and the old hen had been laying eggs for several days.
Tang Xiu'er always wanted to keep it for Ji Huai to eat. He always refused to eat, and even showed disgusting eyes, "I have eaten a lot of eggs and duck eggs. They are all in the mountains and the fields. The bird eggs taste good, and they are the best when roasted."
She ate the eggs silently, listening to him saying that she couldn't help but look up at him, "You just said what's the use, I didn't see you bring it back to me, and I haven't eaten it!"
Ji Huai was taken aback for a moment. She narrowed her mouth and complained a little bit. He coughed slightly, "I will take you next time. How big is it?"
Tang Xiu'er originally just said that after he did this, her eyes lit up, "Really? Can I?"
She wanted to follow him, but he ignored her, and Ji Mu kept asking her to work.
"Why not? I can go now, and in a few days, I can go. It's not going to go hunting, and set a trap to catch a hare, can't it?" Ji Huai agreed readily.
"You are so kind." Her small eyes were bent into crescent shapes.
Ji Huai looked at her clear and bright eyes, his heart tightened, his breathing became a little heavier, and he quickly glanced aside for fear of losing himself.
He is a reckless man, he can only hunt, do all hard work, and doesn't speak love words. He was too hostile, and the girls in the village were far away from him.
Tang Xiu'er has beautiful features and is his first and only woman. What is different in the end. Now that he has feelings for her again, a quiet movement can still affect his heart.
During this time, the Ji family was dumbfounded.
At the beginning, Ji Huai could only lie in a chair, sit up at the back, and walk slowly at the back, without being supported by anyone.
It looks like this is going to be better?
Brother Ji and his wife are in a hurry. If this is all right, can they go hunting? A lot of things were delivered intermittently, especially the dishes in China, and they had to leave half of them.
They can't lose to Sister Ji.
And what about sister Ji? She looked at the behavior of the second brother Ji and his wife, and became even more angry. Is this robbing her? Originally, she was the only one who gave Ji Huai something. Before Ji Huai's injury healed, she managed to win a good relationship and talked about it.
As a result, Ji Ersao bad her good deeds!
For fifty taels of silver, she couldn't give up either. Gritting his teeth, he continued to give things to Jihuai and his wife.
Who is afraid of whom? !
Tang Xiu'er originally went to pick wild vegetables, but Ji Huai also told her not to pick it. Sometimes Ji Ersao brought an egg, and he also gave her to eat.
The hen at home lays eggs every day, and she has eggs to eat every day.
Tang Xiu'er always feels deficiencies when eating their food. Ji Huai doesn't take it seriously. When cooking, she always asks her to put more rice. "Eat more, don't eat white or not, it depends on how thin you are before. I still deliver meat to them every other time, what is this rice?"
When he said so, she thought so. Sometimes he wanted to save a bit, and he said, "What do you save? When I'm done, I'll take you hunting. Who else will eat this?"
Tang Xiuer: ""
It seems to be too.
Ji Huai's legs got better day by day, and he walked faster and faster. Sometimes he walked slowly in the yard, and he couldn't see anything abnormal at all.
The second sister-in-law of Ji was very happy, and she was boasting when she saw him, "The third brother is in good health, and he will definitely recover quickly. You see, it didn't take long, just like a normal person."
The sister-in-law of Ji's sister-in-law has been very unpleasant to see Ji's wife recently. Seeing her praise Jihuai, she was even more angry. Seeing the other party coming in, her tone was yin and yang, "Ji Huai's feet are good, then we will go hunting."
When the time comes, he will surely be able to feed his children. Who else to give away?
The five taels of silver were so gone, and a lot of rice and grain were added. Thinking of it, she was about to squirt out of her blood.
"Yeah, how good is it? Xiu'er will have a baby right away, and then they will have a better life." Ji Ersao was choosing dishes, nodding her head to agree, and sneered in her heart. Don’t you all Tu Jihuai can eat some meat after hunting? Otherwise, sister-in-law Ji can be so generous?
"Don't pretend." Sister Ji couldn't understand her good looks, she gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know what you think?"
Asking her to take out food from her pocket is more uncomfortable than killing her. These days, she couldn't sleep every day, and couldn't breathe at the thought of the food that was given away.
"I also know your thoughts, aren't everyone the same? Isn't it for those who eat?" Ji Ersao didn't look up, put the selected dishes aside, not to be outdone.
Sister Ji originally wanted to scold her, what is the other side's foot? Now that the money is gone, everyone has lost a lot of food, and Ji Er's wife's words make her dazed again, "What are you talking about?!"
"I'm wrong? Do you want to please Ji Huai secretly? When we are all fools? He will come back from hunting and give your family more meat?" Ji Ersao got up with the vegetables, with a sarcasm.
Sister Ji was furious at first, but she was startled by what she said, and then thought that Ji Huai's feet were better. If this is the case, you can indeed go hunting, and then you will have meat to eat.
Right, right, right, it's not a loss to think about their family, but it's because of which rice they used for meat, Ji Huai will definitely divide the meat between the two of them.
It's just that the thought of those fifty taels of silver made her heart choked again. If only you can eat meat and get fifty taels of silver.
The Ji family cared more about when he went hunting than Ji Huai, waiting and waiting, hoping and hoping, Ji Huai was finally going to hunt.
He put on his old clothes, with a knife in his feet, a bow and arrows on his back, linen wrapped in his hands, and a bamboo tube. Everyone thought he was going to hunt, but they were very suspicious.
Because Tang Xiu'er followed him, thinking that he was just going to send it off, but later found that both of them had gone.
"Is this taking her to hunt?" Ji Ersao didn't believe it.
"It shouldn't be hunting, she is still pregnant, how could it be possible? It is estimated that they walked together, halfway apart." Ji Erge guessed.
Tang Xiu'er is still pregnant, how could she take her to hunt?
Ji Ersao thinks so too.
She was in a good mood when she thought that Ji Huai would go hunting. Looking at her daughter who hadn't eaten meat for a long time, she smiled and told them to mow the grass quickly, and they would be able to eat meat later.
After so long, it can be considered to smell a bit of meat.
As for the sister-in-law Ji's family, although the sister-in-law Ji was also worried about the fifty taels of silver, she hadn't eaten meat for a long time, but she was better than the second sister-in-law. At the end of last month, an old hen didn't know how to die, so she hurriedly burned and ate it while she was still warm.
The two sons of their family were originally Xiao Pangdun. They have not eaten meat for a long time, and have lost a lot of weight. Seeing Ji Huai go hunting, they asked, "Mother, do we want to eat meat? I want to eat rabbit meat. "
"How can you eat what you want? What can you eat?" Sister Ji lowered her head and said to them, thinking about how to cook better and what ingredients are in the house.
There was still some green onion and left last night, and the chicken fat that was not eaten at the end of the month can also be used to stir fry. Ji Huai hasn't been out hunting for so long, so he should have gained a lot.
At the thought of eating meat, none of the Ji family wanted to work, sitting at home and waiting.
at the same time.
At the foot of the mountain, Xiao Huangzi opened his way outside, with Tang Xiu'er in the middle and Ji Huai behind.
The mountain road is rugged. During this period of time, she has been well developed and won't be too panting to walk, but she is still a little tired. She walks slowly and slowly, and finally stops for a while.
"With your strength, you have to go hunting with you." Ji Huai said helplessly, walked up to her, leaned over and took her hand, leading her forward.
With his great strength, Tang Xiu'er saved a lot of energy at once, and the pace became brisk. Looking at his back, he said, "Will I drag you down? Will it be dangerous?"
She followed because she was curious, wanted to see, and didn't want to put them in danger, that would be too capricious.
"What is the danger at the foot of the mountain?" Ji Huai laughed when she said this.
Tang Xiu'er looked embarrassed, his cheeks flushed on both sides, let him lead him.
Suddenly, Ji Huai stopped and let go of her hand. She also looked up at him, and saw him quickly pull up the bow and arrow and shoot forward.
With a "swish", other birds on the tree not far away flew away.
"Hit!" Xiao Huangzi said in surprise, hurried to the front, grabbed a bird in the grass, and said triumphantly, "It looks pretty fat!"
"There is a bird's nest in the tree." Ji Huai reminded.
"Good!" Xiao Huangzi put down the bird, took off his shoes and climbed the tree. He climbed up like a monkey in threes or twos, and Tang Xiu'er was taken aback.
"Five eggs." Xiao Huangzi glanced at the probe and reached out for it.
Tang Xiu'er is still watching, she rarely goes out, how can she see such interesting things, she keeps looking up. Ji Huai walked to her, reached out and held her hand, pulled her aside, and said to Xiao Huangzi, "Be careful, don't fall.":,,
