Quick travel to save a miserable life

However, these voices are actually not important to Lin Hui. She has made up her mind and does not plan to return to Niujia Village, so these people's comments and praises have little to do with her.

When the whole village collectively agreed to return home on the [-]th of the first lunar month, Lin Hui officially told Zhang Dazhu and his wife that she would not return home for the time being.

She said this: "I am eight months pregnant. It is inconvenient to travel, and I may give birth on the road, so I will stay here temporarily. After giving birth to the child, I will return home with the child."

As Lin Hui expected, Zhang Dazhu and his wife only gave a few symbolic words of persuasion. Seeing Lin Hui's firm attitude, they stopped stopping him.

In fact, Zhang Dazhu and his wife were even a little happy about Lin Hui's decision not to go back.

The Zhang family has a total of seven acres of land. They were not separated before. Now that the two elders are gone, as the sister-in-law, Mrs. Lin, who is pregnant with her child, will definitely give her a share of the land and property, even if the eldest family gets the lion's share. , gave a small portion to Lin, but he still felt reluctant to part with it.

Now that Lin is living here temporarily, she has to wait until she gives birth before returning. By then, the child will be too young to go on the road. This delay will take at least a year and a half. During this period, the seven acres of land will not all be equivalent to a big house. Is it?

Shen Xiuhua even thought maliciously: A woman giving birth is equivalent to stepping into the gate of hell. If there is an emergency when Lin gives birth and leaves no descendants for the second wife, then the house and land in the family will be huge. The room is available!

Based on this, the couple in Dafang actually agreed with Lin Hui's decision to stay here, but they always had to confess a few words to the neighbors to show that they had tried hard to dissuade them: "Well, my second daughter-in-law just doesn't want to Heeding the advice, I am always afraid that something will go wrong on the way, and I have to stay here to give birth, no matter how I try to persuade her, it is useless."

Fortunately, before Zhang Dazhu left, he didn't know if it was because of his conscience that he gave half of the five taels of silver given by the village chief to Lin Hui, saying that it would be used to raise children. He also said: "If a boy is born, he will also give birth to a boy." Now that we have a second wife, please don’t forget to ask someone to send me a message so that I can comfort my second brother and my parents’ spirits in heaven.”

The implication is that if the child is a girl, there is no need to say so.

Many people in Niujia Village died in a foreign land, and if it was not possible to transport them back in coffins, the village chief arranged for people to perform rituals, cremate the bodies and coffins of the deceased, collect the remains, and take them back to their hometown for reburial.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, it was actually still cold, but the people in Niujia Village were very enthusiastic because they were going back to their hometown. They took the documents issued by the government and followed a caravan heading north to Beijing.

At that time, people valued nostalgia and it was difficult to leave their homeland. Except for Lin Hui and her daughter, no one chose to stay.

As soon as these people left, the outside of the village suddenly became empty. Although Lin Hui had enough ability to protect herself, she was about to give birth and lived alone outside the village with her young daughter, which made her feel uneasy.

So, through Mrs. Zhou, she rented a house from Aunt Liu's house in the village, and asked Aunt Liu to take care of her during the confinement period when she gave birth.

Aunt Liu was widowed in her early years, and her only son died when he was a teenager. She guarded the yard by herself and lived a miserable life.

Lin Hui brings her children to move in, which can not only increase the popularity of her family, but also increase her income. It is a win-win situation.

After living in a small house for several months, when I first moved into a normal house, it was like the clouds were clearing and the moon was shining brightly!

Even in the daytime, the light in the underground house is dim, and dirt is falling everywhere. If the conditions were not really limited at the beginning, who would want to live there!

Although Aunt Liu is a widow, her life is not bad. Her father and brothers are both village chiefs, and her husband's family is also prosperous. Her husband's family owns more than ten acres of land. When she got married, her family also gave her a dowry of five yuan. acres of land, so she was actually not short of money.

The reason why she didn't remarry or adopt an adopted daughter was because she didn't want to. Even though her son died, the husband's family still took good care of her for the sake of her natal family and her dead husband, so this was also her reason for these years. The reason why I live a comfortable life and no one messes with me easily

Lin Hui stayed here in the first place because the folk customs in this village were relatively simple. Otherwise, she, a widow with a child, would not dare to live alone here easily.

Seven or eight days before the birth, Lin Hui quit her job in the kitchen and concentrated on preparing for the birth.

She washed and dried the small clothes, blankets and diapers she prepared for the child, contacted the midwife in the village, and bought several hens and enough eggs in advance.

Although Aunt Liu will take care of her during confinement and can also ask her to buy it, she doesn't want to trouble others if she can make preparations in advance.

Although Lin Hui's pregnancy was full of twists and turns, she adjusted her body in time and took some warming and tonic drugs in the later period, so the child developed well.

On the night of February [-]th, under the bright moonlight, Lin Hui gave birth to a five-pound baby boy.

Because this body is not that of a primiparous woman, Lin Hui herself has had many birth experiences and knows how to exert force and conserve her strength. So this time it took her only an hour from the start to the birth, leaving the midwife with almost no trouble. , which ends the entire production process.

The newborn child was all red and wrinkled, and was wrapped in a small quilt. Cui Ya walked around curiously, stretched out her finger, and gently poked her brother's face.

"Mom, why is my brother so ugly and lazy? When I poke him, he doesn't even open his eyes and keeps sleeping!"

Lin Hui explained to her with a smile: "My brother is too young. He has to sleep for a long time every day, but he is not ugly. He is as good-looking as Cui Ya. In another month, he will become like you!"

"Really?" Cui Ya tilted her head, dubious.

"Of course it's true!" Lin Hui nodded with certainty.

In the past six months, Cuiya has relied heavily on Lin Hui and is convinced by what she said, so since my mother said yes, it must be yes.

What Lin Hui said was true. When the child was one month old, he could already tell that he looked very similar to Cuiya. You could tell they were siblings at a glance.

Because Aunt Liu took good care of her and Lin Hui prepared sufficient ingredients. In addition, the child was quite obedient and not very troublesome, so the whole confinement was done very well. Moreover, Lin Hui herself secretly provided food in the space. If you open a small stove by yourself and have adequate nutrition, you will naturally be well-fed.

Therefore, when she was in confinement, her skin looked even more rosy and shiny than before she gave birth. In addition, her figure was plump, and she showed more of the charm that a young woman should have.

It is well known that Lin Hui is a widow, but she used to live with her husband's brother and sister-in-law. Now her husband's family has returned to their hometown, and only three of them, mother and son, are left in Fuliang. Seeing how beautiful she is now, some people I asked someone to come over and tell me that I wanted to marry her.
