Ye Yuran was pleasantly surprised.

She also thought that she would have to make great efforts to "take care of" this stupid son in the future. She didn't want him to be known as a "fool" but be able to rely on himself.

It's good to be self-reliant. If she can be self-reliant, she can "order" him as a normal person.

"The elder's family took care of the children, the second's family cut up the fish, and the fifth's family cleaned the table and washed the dishes." Ye Yuran looked at Mrs. Li who wanted to sneak away after finishing the meal, "As for the

From the Fourth Brother’s house, you are responsible for sweeping the floor.”

Ms. Li originally wanted to say something, but her mother-in-law dismissed her directly by saying, "You are just pregnant and can't do heavy work. It's not that you can't move."

Sigh...it's hard for her to have to work with a big belly!

Ye Yuran gave the remaining half bowl of jam directly to Ms. Liu and asked her to go back to the house and give it to her children as snacks.

"You can't put this thing away. If you don't eat it, it will go bad tomorrow morning."

As for the remaining basket of cakes, she followed the example of the original owner and put it into her room.

The Zhu family has a main room in the middle, with several wing rooms on the left and right sides. In fact, it was originally two rooms on each side. However, as the children in the family grew up, the original large room was divided into two small rooms to form the son's room.

wedding room.

The room where the original owner and old man Zhu lived was no exception. The front was where they slept, and the small room at the back, separated by a board, was Zhu Bamei's bed.

In addition to this large room on the left, there is another room that was converted into Zhu Da, Zhu's second bedroom, and then the kitchen.

The two large rooms on the right were converted into four compartments, where Zhu San, Zhu Si, Zhu Wu, and Zhu Qi lived. Beyond that was the hut.

Because Zhu Qi is a fool, the room closest to the latrine is naturally his.

Apart from the bed, there was only a bamboo pole tied with a rope to the wall, used to hang his clothes and the like. There were also boxes under the bed that other brothers didn't want. It's hard to tell what was in them.

With such a count, why does it feel like there is one person missing?

Ye Yuran silently arranged the order of the original owner's sons in his mind: Wait, where is Zhu Liu?

She didn't know what happened, but she searched through the memory of the original owner for a long time, but couldn't find any information about this person.

Could it be that Zhu Liu died when he was born?

Ye Yuran couldn't find the answer, so she didn't pursue it any further. Anyway, this matter will "come to light" one day, and it really needs to be faced. Even if she doesn't mention it, they will.

On the other side, while Mrs. Liu was giving Dabao and Erbao a bath, Zhu Da was already in front of the big bed, using boards to set up a small bed for the two babies.

"Mom, where's the jam you gave us?"

"Milk said, don't keep the jam. Eat it right away, otherwise it will go bad."

Mrs. Liu couldn't make trouble with the two children, so she could only bring the bowl placed on the top of the cabinet and handed it to them.

The two brothers were so happy that today was the happiest day in their lives. One bite for you and one bite for me.

Of course, there will also be quarrels. For example, if one of them wants to eat more, he picks a slightly bigger jam. He doesn't want the other person to find out and feel that he has suffered a loss, so he has to pick a bigger one.

The two of them occupied their parents' big bed and had a lot of fun.

Mrs. Liu sat on the small bed, looking at her son's smiling face, in a daze.

Zhu Da suddenly touched her arm.

She came back to her senses: "What's wrong? Are you sleepy? Just wait a moment, they will fall asleep after eating."

"Tell me, should we tell mother that the two boys are older and let them sleep alone in the utility room at the back?" Zhu Da said dully.

Obviously, he has been thinking about this issue for more than a day.

Now that his two children have grown up, it is difficult for him to be intimate with his wife. He has been holding back for a long time, so he doesn't want to do it anymore.

Once you think about it, you will find a solution, such as getting them out.

There was no other room in the house, so either let them squeeze in with the seventh brother or let them sleep in the utility room. There was no other way.

Hearing him mention the utility room, Mrs. Liu suddenly thought of it.

There is also a utility room connected to the woodshed in the backyard of Zhu's house, where farm tools such as hoes are stored.

Because when the house was built, it was used for this purpose, so it was not built very well, it was just built casually, as long as it could prevent wind and rain from leaking to the things in the house.

"No, it's too small, and there are so many things on it. What if they are naughty while sleeping on the bed and hit something and smash it down?"

As a mother, you never want your child to be in any danger.

"What should we do? Let them squeeze in with the seventh brother?" Zhu Da touched her arm again and muttered, "I've thought about it."

Mrs. Liu moved to the side: "No, seventh brother will marry a wife in the future. If you occupy his bed, where will you let his wife sleep?"

In fact, she didn't want him to touch her. With the conditions at home, it was already so difficult to raise two children. What if she had to have another child?

She really didn't want to give birth. She had to take care of her after giving birth. It was too tiring.

Moreover, the mother-in-law is obviously partial. People prefer sons and grandsons, but the mother-in-law prefers the "daughter" she gave birth to. Who can guarantee that her next child will be a daughter?

What's more, even if she is really a daughter, there is no guarantee that her mother-in-law will pamper her child. The fourth brother and sister are already pregnant. They keep saying that they want to give her a granddaughter. There is already a granddaughter in front of her. The one she gave birth to is still alive.

Favored?

What's more, the family conditions are like this. One more person means another mouth. He is not as capable as my father-in-law and can afford to raise so many children.

He felt comfortable. After finishing his work in the field, he lay down on the bed and didn't have to worry about anything, but what about her?

Going to the mountains and fields, doing endless farm work, doing endless housework, serving men, and also having to take care of children. It feels like it's dawn as soon as I fall asleep, but I never have enough to eat.

When I was a girl, I always thought that it would be better if I got married and I would not be so tired. Only after I get married will I realize that it is not the most tiring, only more tiring.

It seems like there is no end. As long as you keep your eyes open, you have to work. Life is born to suffer.

Sometimes she stood by the river in a daze, looking at herself reflected in the water, and truly felt: It would be better to die than to live!

I don’t know when God will take her away and free her.

"Lao Qi is a fool. No woman will marry him."

"Don't say that, mother will be angry if she hears it."

"I'm not stupid. I won't tell you in front of my mother. I'll just tell you."

"That's not necessarily the case. Older widows, stone girls that no one wants to marry, or people with physical problems... As long as my mother doesn't choose, I can always find someone to keep my seventh brother as a companion."

"A fool is better suited to a blind man, or to a man with missing arms and legs? No, seventh brother himself needs someone to take care of him. If there is another one like that, who will take care of whom?"

Liu was silent.

As he talked, Zhu Da lost interest in talking when he saw that she didn't pay attention to him anymore.

Dabao and Erbao were still fussing on the big bed. He couldn't wait any longer, so he lay down on the small bed. After a while, he heard the sound of snoring.
