Chapter 1 Mother, it's not good, the ginseng I dug up yesterday has become fine
Xixi Village, Zhaojia at the east end of the village,
Zhao Heng's family of three moved to Xixi Village three years ago. They bought an old house near the entrance of the village. The family made a living by collecting herbs in the mountains. The money they earned from selling herbs was used to treat Zhao Heng's illness.
Because Zhao Heng is blind.
Yesterday, his wife Wang Chunniang and nine-year-old son Zhao Xuan accidentally dug a large ginseng plant in the mountains. Because they came back too late to sell the ginseng to the city, they had to tie it with a red rope and let it go.
I sat on the Kang in the east room. I heard that the ginseng would not escape.
Early the next morning,
When Wang Chunniang got up to cook, she was thinking about the large ginseng plant. Without washing her face, she opened the door of the east room, ready to take a look at the large ginseng plant. But when she opened the door, she, who had excellent hearing,
Then she heard a small sound of snoring, and when she glanced at the kang, she saw that the ginseng that had been placed there was gone... She suddenly became alert, held her breath and looked towards the source of the snoring sound, holding her hands
Liya quietly held the long rolling pin at the door, ready to fight at any time.
But when she found the source of the sound, she was stunned.
Next to a pile of grain bags in the corner of the kang, a chubby little figure was huddled inside and snoring happily. She was all white and fat, and there was a red rope tied to her hand... It was just yesterday
The one that Wang Chunniang tied on the ginseng herself.
Suddenly, Wang Chunniang's outlook was shattered. She controlled herself to scream, and ran towards the yard as quietly as possible.
When she saw her husband being pushed out by her son, Wang Chunniang quickly threw away the rolling pin in her hand and rushed towards Zhao Heng who was sitting in a wheelchair. The little boy Zhao Xuan stood aside quietly in shock.
"Husband, what's wrong...the big ginseng that Xuan'er and I dug yesterday...she...she became a sperm!" Wang Chunniang said while pointing in the direction of the east room.
Zhao Heng was not yet thirty years old. Although he was blind, he was still very strong. He touched Wang Chunniang's hand and helped Wang Chunniang up with a little force.
At this time, Wang Chunniang still felt that the soles of her feet were a little soft. She knew that her husband was blind, but she still couldn't help but stretched out her hand to describe: "She is so fat, her little arms are full of flesh, and there is a little knot on her head. She looks like a little girl."
!”
"Xuan'er, push dad in." Zhao Heng, who had been silent until now, suddenly said something. Zhao Xuan heard it and nodded immediately. There was no expression on the faces of the father and son, just like two ice cubes, one big and one small.
Seeing this, Wang Chunniang naturally followed the husband and wife in, not forgetting to close the door tightly.
When the door of the east room opened, except for the blind Zhao Heng, Wang Chunniang and her son both saw the chubby little figure huddled behind the bag. The little guy seemed to be sleeping very uncomfortable and was still mumbling something.
, the chubby little legs also kicked lightly.
"Dad, he is really a child." Although Zhao Xuan was mature and steady, he was still a child after all. He couldn't hold it back. He gently stretched out his hand and poked the chubby little leg, and then looked at his own eyes.
A dimple appeared on her chubby leg when she poked it with her finger.
So fat...
"Cold, wuwuwu."
Just as the family stared at the little guy with wide eyes, a cry of milk brought their thoughts back to reality.
"Mom, look at the traces of people coming in by the window. In case someone stole the ginseng and deliberately threw a child here to create an illusion." Zhao Xuan looked at the person who was still there again.
The moaning baby then said to Wang Chunniang.
Wang Chunniang agreed with her son's words and quickly went to check the doors and windows.
However...the doors and windows are all intact, and even the mechanisms they built on them are intact. Obviously...the possibility of being tampered with is very small.
"If it wasn't someone who dumped it, then... this child... is really a ginseng spirit." Wang Chunniang muttered, "But this large ginseng plant could have been sold for a lot of money and used to make medicine for my husband.
.Since it is ginseng essence, I don’t know if it will be useful in making soup.”
Although she said this, Wang Chunniang's eyes kept glancing at the chubby doll, a bit straight.
"Mother..." Zhao Xuan held up his forehead to prevent his fierce mother from saying any other shocking words.
"Woooooo, it's cold." It's still early spring, and the weather in the morning is indeed a bit cold. The chubby little guy turned over and groaned again. In his sleep, his little body curled up more and more. Zhao
Xuan quickly went to find a blanket.
"Chunniang, Chunniang, are you at home? Aren't you going to the county town today? Chunniang!" Someone banged on the door of Zhao's house vigorously. When she heard the shouting outside, Wang Chunniang patted her thigh and said, "Oh no!
, I asked Goudanniang to call me to enter the city yesterday, but now that the ginseng is gone, how can I enter the city?"
After complaining, Wang Chunniang ran neatly out of the yard. As she ran out, she winked at her son Zhao Xuan, signaling Zhao Xuan to hide the baby.
Goudanniang saw Wang Chunniang's anxious look. She was about to speak, signaling that there was a bullock cart outside, but the next second, a loud howling sound from a child came from the house.
Everyone is a mother, so they can naturally tell that the voice is obviously not that of Zhao Xuan, but that of the little baby.
"Cold wuwuwuwu..." The little girl's cry suddenly seemed to be muffled by something.
Goudan Niang was startled, her eyes widened, she looked gossipingly towards the Zhao family's yard, and said in a low voice: "Chun Niang, when did your family... have another baby?"
There were several women waiting outside. After hearing Goudanniang's words, everyone came over. Even if Wang Chunniang wanted to cover up, it was too late...
"Mom, my sister seems to be hungry." At this moment, Zhao Xuan walked out of the house and said to Wang Chunniang calmly and normally.
When Wang Chunniang heard this, she faced the looks of a group of women. She pretended to sigh and said: "Yesterday, when I came back from collecting herbs with Xuan'er, when I passed by the East River, I saw a wooden basin floating on it. When I came up to see it, it was a wooden basin.
We have to keep the little baby."
When saying this, Wang Chunniang tried her best to restrain herself and not let her eyes move.
But the reaction of Goudan Niang and others was completely beyond Wang Chunniang's expectation. They were very calm. Goudan Niang even asked: "I knew it must be a female baby. Many people think that daughters are losing money, and some are just born."
Just throw it away, hey..."
"You bitch, you go first. This happened to our family. We can't leave today." Wang Chunniang shook her head. A group of people couldn't help but comfort her, and some people advised her to throw the child back.
…………
In the house, when Wang Chunniang came back, she saw that Zhao Xuan had found an old blanket and surrounded the little baby.
"Mom, I'm going to mix a bowl of rice cereal." Zhao Xuan called Wang Chunniang and then walked out.
The little baby had obviously woken up. When she heard Zhao Xuan's "Mother", she huddled in her clothes, suddenly grinned and shouted at Wang Chun's breast: "Mother!"
