"His aunt, look at why you left right now. You are so tempered." Zhang Chunhua pretended to chase the person outside for two steps until he saw the person walking away, then he took a sip at her back.
Then he closed the door.
Widow Liu walked out of the courtyard. The anger in her heart could not be subsided no matter what. She was still sick. Now that she was angry again, she became even more top-heavy.
…
After Chen Mancang signed the signature, he went to Chen Mantun's house again. He was still a little worried about what Chen Lishu said. No matter what, he had to say hello to his second brother Chen Mancang. In the future, Chen Lishu wanted to regret it.
And he helped me talk.
After getting Chen Mancang's assurance, he walked home with satisfaction. He saw a figure coming out of the door of his courtyard from a distance. Chen Mancang took a closer look and found that it was Widow Liu. He guessed that she might have gone to the house to chat with Zhang Chunhua.
, but I didn’t care too much.
He walked closer and was about to say hello, but before he could open his mouth, he suddenly saw Widow Liu shaking as if she was about to fall. Chen Mancang subconsciously stretched out his hand to help her.
Widow Liu was a little confused when she felt her body being held up by someone. She looked up and saw that it was Chen Mancang. Thinking of Zhang Chunhua, the duplicitous man, she couldn't help but think.
"Brother Chen, thank you so much for just now. I've been sick for the past few days and my head is a bit dizzy and I don't have any strength." Widow Liu said as she was about to get up, but her feet went soft and her chest hit Chen Mancang.
Even in the winter, through his cotton-padded clothes, Chen Mancang could clearly feel the softness of the two balls.
I thought that although Widow Liu was not very good-looking, she was quite talented. No wonder the old men in the village loved to hang out with her no matter what.
Widow Liu's collection of men over the years is not in vain. She has a good way of seduce men, otherwise she wouldn't be able to grow up like that and still have a continuous business.
"This man really can't get sick. He can't obey orders anywhere." Widow Liu looked at Chen Mancang and said jokingly, then turned around and walked home.
Chen Mancang stood there, looked back at her back, then turned and headed home.
When Widow Liu returned home, the more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. She had worked in vain and gained nothing. How could she swallow this sigh of relief? Their family had gained nothing, and neither could Chen Lishu and Zhang Chunhua.
Better off.
Taking a look at the time it was not too late, I wrapped myself in a scarf and headed towards the commune.
…
Seeing that it was entering the twelfth lunar month, every family was busy. Usually they were busy making clothes and had no time to do it. On this day, Li Xiulan made some noodles early in the morning and put them on the kang to stay awake. When they were all ready, everyone started making steamed buns together.
and bean buns.
"I heard from the women's director that the health team organized by the town will come down to do health examinations for women in the next two days." Thinking of what the women's director said when she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, Zhang Xiaoju told everyone while kneading bean paste.
Liu Yuemin: "What else should I check for health?"
Chen Lishu raised her head and said with a smile: "Is this a focus on family planning inspection? The army has carried out this before, saying that women who have given birth to three children must undergo birth control surgery. Of course, men can also undergo sterilization."
"Yes." Zhang Xiaoju nodded: "That's what the women's director said."
Liu Yuemin was shocked: "Then my sister-in-law and I both need to get rings?"
Zhang Qin's hand movements couldn't help but slow down.
The elders thought that having more children would bring blessings, and it is necessary to have them. But now the policy has changed, and the slogans on the walls everywhere have been changed, such as "Family planning has many benefits," "The country encourages a couple to have two children," etc.
.
Chen Lishu knows that for now, the focus is mainly on admonishment. After family planning is listed as a basic national policy in two years, the enforcement of ultrasounds will be even stricter.
This can be seen from family planning slogans such as "If the blood should not flow, we will steal the house and run the cows", "I would rather the blood flows into a river than to produce a single one".
"Third brother and sister, you and third brother have been married for several years, why is there still no movement in your stomach?" Liu Yuemin couldn't help but asked curiously.
Although Li Xiulan and Zhang Qin did not turn their eyes over, Chen Lishu clearly felt that their hand movements paused in unison when they heard Liu Yuemin's question.
Chen Lishu forced a smile: "Maybe the time has not come yet."
She has been taking the medicine prescribed by the hospital. Although the pain during menstruation is not as bad as before, her stomach has not moved for a long time. She has made up her mind to go to another hospital to check again this time when she returns to the provincial capital.
Liu Yuemin curled her lips, not believing what she said: "The fourth brother and sister became pregnant with their family's Panpan not long after they got married. My sister-in-law and I were not married for half a year at that time. Is there something wrong with you and the third brother?"
As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter, seeing as Wu Chunmei gave birth to seven daughters in a row, Chen Lishu is definitely not much better.
"It just so happens that the town is here for an inspection this time. Third brother and sister, you should check it carefully so that if there is any problem, it can be discovered and treated early."
Chen Lishu raised her head, looked at her and smiled: "Thank you, second sister-in-law, for your concern."
Unable to ask what she wanted to hear, Liu Yuemin spoke again without giving up: "Third brother and sister, your stomach hasn't moved for so long and you didn't think of going to the hospital? It's so convenient to see a doctor in the provincial capital, isn't it?
If you are embarrassed to say something, we are all a family and there is nothing we can't talk about. Besides, mom is still anxiously waiting to have her grandson."
The smile on Chen Lishu's face faded a bit: "Second sister-in-law, what do you want to hear?"
Liu Yuemin sneered: "I'm not afraid that you will hide something from our mother, but if you have any problems..."
Chen Lishu: "What if I have a question?"
"Second daughter-in-law, this curtain-covered bean bag is full. You can send it to the kitchen to steam it."
"The fourth brother and sister are standing on the ground. It's not the right time for her to go." Liu Yuemin didn't want to move at first, but when she saw Li Xiulan's displeased eyes, she had to stand up aggrievedly.
…
"Mom, I didn't mean to hide this from you. I only discovered it during the Chinese New Year last year and I have been taking medicine to treat it."
Blindly concealing and evading is not the solution to the problem, so Chen Lishu took the time to tell Li Xiulan everything.
After hearing what she said, Li Xiulan stared at her for a long time without saying anything. She didn't know what to say at all. Accusing Chen Lishu of not being able to give birth? The child must have felt more uncomfortable than she did.
At the end, Li Xiulan sighed heavily: "This person is not perfect. Tell me, you are good in every aspect, but why do you just..."
Chen Lishu couldn't help but feel a touch of bitterness in her mouth. Children in her previous life came so easily. Maybe this life was so smooth that even God couldn't stand it.
At night, Li Xiulan tossed and turned like a pancake, unable to sleep, and soon Gu Shoufu, who was already sleeping next to her, was awakened.
"You stayed up most of the night and got lice on your body?"
"Why do I have lice? I'm almost worried to death." Li Xiulan said with a heavy sigh.
Gu Shoufu suddenly sobered up a lot: "Which child made you angry again? Tell me that I will take care of him tomorrow."
"Who can mess with me is a matter between the two of us."
Then Li Xiulan repeated what Chen Lishu told her during the day.
