Chapter 21(1/2)

Chen Jiao's growing plumpness may not be raised by Han Yue. The wild boars in the circle are getting fatter and bigger and bigger, but it must be Han Yue's achievements.

Shortly after the Dragon Boat Festival, the wild boar had a baby. It started in the middle of the night. Chen Jiao slept soundly and didn't hear any movement. Han Yue had been thinking about this recently. Almost the wild boar made two hums, and he lifted the quilt and jumped up, which scared Chen Jiao.

"I'll go to the pigpen to see, you can continue sleeping." Han Yue was very excited and said to his wife in the quilt with a smile. After that, he opened the door and ran out.

Chen Jiao didn't know how to raise pigs at all, but Han Yue would tell her if there was any progress in the wild boar's belly. After she heard it a lot, she guessed what was going on. Perhaps because of Han Yue's excitement, Chen Jiao was inexplicably curious that the wild boar had a baby. Not long after Han Yue went out, she also got up and put on her clothes and went to the yard.

Han Jiang and Han Xu also got up and surrounded the pigpen, wanting to watch the fun.

Chen Jiao came over.

Han Yue just turned around and told them to go back to their room. After all, the wild boar was not a domestic pig. He suddenly saw so many people and became alert again.

Chen Jiao and others went back to their room first.

Chen Jiao wanted to wait for Han Yue to come back to sleep, but Han Yue didn't come back until she fell asleep.

Before dawn the next day, Chen Jiao was awakened by Han Yue. She opened her eyes in a daze. Han Yue stood on the ground, holding her face and kissing her with her big hands, and her black eyes were bright: "I'm finished giving birth, go and have a look?"

At that time, the man's eyes looked like he had a box of jewelry to give to the petite lady.

Chen Jiao got up all of a sudden. She couldn't have imagined that the daughter of her dignified Duke's mansion would one day be excited about giving birth to a pig.

The couple rushed to the pigpen.

The smell here is not good, and Chen Jiao is almost used to smelling it. When she looked over, she saw a big black-haired wild boar lying in the pig's nest, with a row of yellow and brown-haired piglets on her belly.

"Count how many are there." Han Yue said in her ear.

Chen Jiao tried to count because the piglets were too tightly squeezed, and some even crawled around on the heads of brothers and sisters. Chen Jiao counted three times in a row and finally confirmed that there were sixteen in total! Influenced by Han Yue, Chen Jiao immediately calculated in her head that a wild boar could raise a big boar and sold four or five taels of silver, sixteen, which was six or seventy taels!

She raised her head and looked at the tall man above her head happily. It was always fun to be rich.

Looking at the little woman's joyful peach blossom eyes, Han Yue's chest immediately felt a proud and proud feeling. Finally, he could show off his family fortune in front of the petite lady. As a real man, Han Yue still wants to make a lot of money and let his wife and children live a good life.

"My grandfather said, go back and try to let wild boars breed domestic pigs. If they can be matched, we will raise wild boars in the future." Holding Chen Jiao's hand, Han Yue looked at the group of piglets and said, "He has held each of them, sixteen, nine mothers, seven males, and two boars are left as seeds, and the rest are fattened and sold for money."

Chen Jiao thought to herself that raising chickens has not been done in business, and she still has to raise pigs in the end.

However, a man like Han Yue is very powerful in a farmhouse, right?

"Go to bed quickly, your eyes are red when you look at the pig." After watching the pig, Chen Jiao advised in a low voice that Han Yue had not slept all night.

Han Yue was not sleepy at all. He went back to the house to get the copper plate and went to the town to buy pig food. The piglets ate better.

On the next day, many villagers came to the Han family, all of whom were visiting the wild boar. Lin Boyuan, Tian family and Chen Jiao's grandfather, Old Man Tian, ​​all came, adding a lot of festive atmosphere to the Han family.

Han Yue proposed to send Mr. Tian a wild boar, and then send him there after a full month, as a reward for Mr. Tian’s various help.

Old Man Tian shook his head and smiled and said, "In this way, I will exchange three male boars for you for two male wild boars, and we will all raise them together." Wild boar meat may not be better than domestic pigs, but the food is rare and expensive. If the wild boars are taken to the county town, they will be snatched away by the rich and greedy people, and the price is still high, so Old Man Tian's method of changing is very reasonable.

Han Yue said that it would be enough to change two ends, but Old Man Tian did not want to take advantage of his grandson-in-law.

After being happy, Han Yue carefully served the litter of piglets. Uncle Zhang came to introduce them to the errands, and Han Yue asked his second brother to go by himself.

Shortly after getting married, her husband was going out. Cao Zhenzhu was not very happy, but Han Yue stayed at home to raise pigs, not to be lazy and idle. She could only accept the arrangement of her uncle and reluctantly sent Han Jiang away.

Han Jiang went out to work for the first time this year. He stayed outside for more than two months. He came back before the Mid-Autumn Festival and earned more than two taels of silver. Of course, the foreman had copper coins, which totaled more than two hangers.

During the autumn harvest season, Han Yue led the third brother who was on the autumn vacation to the field to collect peanuts. When Han Jiang came back, Chunxing was standing in front of the stove to make pancakes.

Han Jiang almost thought he had gone to the wrong home.

"Miss, the second master is back!" Chun Xing shouted loudly when she saw him.

Chen Jiao was repairing Han Yue's clothes in the room. When she heard that the second child was back, she came out to greet her.

"Sister-in-law." Han Jiang called out with a smile.

Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Chen Jiao advised, "Go to the house and take a break, the meal will be cooked in a while."

Han Jiang nodded and went to the wing room.

Cao Zhenzhu is expected to be born at the end of October. Now she has a big belly and is pointed. The villagers say she is her son, and she is also very proud.

The pregnant woman was sleeping, and Cao Zhenzhu was dozing on the kang. When she saw her husband, she sat up happily.

Han Jiang looked at her big belly and was very happy, but he still asked first: "When did Chunxing come?"

Cao Zhenzhu hummed, glanced at the room and said, "After you left, my sister-in-law and I took turns cooking. Later, when I bent down, my stomach hurts. Logically, my sister-in-law just cooks, right? But my elder brother couldn't bear to ask someone to serve me, so he called Chunxing over."

Han Jiang didn't say anything.

"I took off this one and let's change it clean." Cao Zhenzhu sat on the kang and said when she saw him dirty.

Han Jiang thought for a while, took a sip of water and said, "Forget it, I'll deliver food to my elder brother and the others later, and work with me in the afternoon."

Speaking of work, Cao Zhenzhu looked at the man's cuffs and asked in a low voice: "How much has he paid?"

Han Jiang told the truth.

Cao Zhenzhu's eyes lit up and she stretched out her hand at him: "Give me a hang!"

Han Jiang stared at him: "What are you doing?" The money he and his elder brother have always been placed in the same place, and are hidden in the piggy bank in the west room.

Cao Zhenzhu curled her lips and touched her stomach and said, "Do you know how uncomfortable I have been in the past two months? I am pregnant and greedy. My elder brother and sister-in-law don't take the initiative to buy it for me. I don't want to ask them for anything I want. I have to hold back whatever I want. Give me some money. In the future, I want to eat candied haws, so I can buy it myself."

"Then you don't need to hang it." Han Jiang lowered his head, counted twenty copper plates and put them in front of his wife, "I'll give it to you, it's enough for you to spend."

The wife wanted to give birth to a son for him, but Han Jiang was not so stingy that she didn't give her any use. Before, life was tense at home, and the eldest brother was reluctant to spend money, and he couldn't bear to pay for his wife. Now it's different. With wild boars, the family's conditions will get better and better. Giving Cao Zhenzhu twenty cents a month is not too wasteful.

In order to prevent Cao Zhenzhu from continuing to worry about his wages, Han Jiang went to the west room first, left twenty cents himself, and put the rest in the piggy bank. Before putting it in, Han Jiang roughly counted the inside and found that there were three or four hundred more copper plates than when he left home. It must be that the eldest brother hunted wild game from Tiger Mountain.

The rice was ready, and Han Jiang was surprised to find that Chunxing made meat pies.

"I made my sister-in-law spend money again." Han Jiang said to Chen Jiao in emotion. He remembered that when he was planting in spring, his elder brother said that the meat at home was bought by his sister-in-law.

Chen Jiao was stunned and realized what Han Jiang meant. She smiled and said, "The meat you bought by your elder brother."

Cao Zhenzhu's belly became bigger and bigger, and the piglets in the pen gradually grew bigger. Good days were right in front of her. Recently, Han Yue had become much more generous. He first asked her to pick up Chunxing to help, and he gave her the wages. Then he bought meat every three to five to improve the food. The money used was made by Han Yue's scattered wild game, and she didn't spend her dowry.

Han Jiang said "Oh" and no matter who has money, it's good to have meat at home!

After eating, Han Jiang picked up the basket and went to the field to deliver food.

The brothers met again, Han Yue and Han Xu were all very happy. Han Jiang said that he gave Cao Zhenzhu twenty quotas, and Han Yue didn't take it seriously.

At dusk, the three brothers pushed a cart of peanuts home. The car was borrowed from the villagers and returned it immediately.

The three brothers took off their dirty clothes, and this was Chunxing's job.

Han Yue only used Chunxing to wash clothes and cook, and spared the errands of his petite lady and big-bellied Cao Zhenzhu. He did not need Chunxing to interfere in the farm work.

In this regard, Chen Jiao occasionally thought that if there were no wild boars and no sooner than a pig selling money, he could afford Chunxing, and Cao Zhenzhu could not work, would Han Yue give up his uncle's face and cook himself, or would she have to take on all the housework, including helping Cao Zhenzhu with mobility difficulties to wash clothes?

Unfortunately, there is no if, and Han Yue is willing to spend money, Chen Jiao will never know the answer.

Anyway, she can continue to be idle.

At the end of October, it was snowing heavily. Cao Zhenzhu struggled for a day and finally gave birth to a fat son of seven pounds when it was dark.

Han Jiangle was crazy. Han Yue, who became his uncle, was also very happy and told his younger brother to be kind to Cao Zhenzhu.

Chen Jiao didn't take it seriously at first. What does it have to do with Cao Zhenzhu's childbirth or not? However, as more and more village women came to the Han family with eggs and rice noodles to congratulate them on their children, Chen Jiao heard a lot of gossip. Whether the words were tactful or straightforward, they all expressed the same meaning: the second wife had a child when she entered the door late, why didn't the eldest wife move yet? Could there be any problem?

Chen Jiao heard Cao Zhenzhu screaming when giving birth, howling in her eyes. It hurts so much that Chen Jiao doesn't want to give birth. However, Chen Jiao doesn't want to give birth, but it doesn't mean she doesn't care whether she has a physical problem and cannot give birth. Especially when Hu came to the door, she ran to her and revealed a secret recipe for a woman to get pregnant successfully. It was actually a cold stomach for her to worry!

Chen Jiao was very angry. She was in a bad mood when Han Yue wanted to hug her at night.

"What's wrong?" Miss Jiao didn't get angry for a long time. Han Yue asked with his arms on his back.

Chen Jiao turned her head and said, "People say I am sick and can't get pregnant. Anyway, I can't get pregnant, and I still..."

Before she finished speaking, Han Yue swears: "Fuck!"

Chen Jiao looked at him in surprise, and when she met the man's cold face, Chen Jiao's eyes were inexplicably sour. She married Han Yue, which was a real low-marriage. Han Yue was a villager and could not be romantic. She endured it even if she didn't care about money. But today, Han Yue actually scolded her for farting?

"I mean those tongue-in-laws." Seeing tears falling in her eyes, Han Yue quickly explained, how could he scold her?

Helping her wipe her tears, Han Yue hugged someone and coaxed her: "Some people get pregnant early, some people get pregnant late, some are new wives who have been married for two or three years in the village. Don't listen to their nonsense." Cao Zhenzhu worked all over the world before getting married, and her body was strong and easy to get pregnant. His petite lady is a flower bud, and the more precious the more difficult it is to get pregnant.

Although Han Yue also hoped to be a father as soon as possible, he never suspected that Chen Jiao could not do so.

The misunderstanding was clarified. He didn't scold her, but Chen Jiao was still uncomfortable. All the aggrievances she had accumulated in the past emerged at this moment.

She leaned in his arms and didn't move. Han Yue felt distressed and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, let's eat better in the future and we will get pregnant next year."

Chen Jiao didn't want to talk, she just wanted the Bodhisattva to fall into a dream. She asked Han Yue how to treat her, so she was so devoted! After she got married, she cooked for Han Yue and sewed clothes for him. Han Yue was so tired that she didn't want to move. She helped him wipe his body. Han Yue's hunting arm was cut by a branch, and she gently helped him with medicine. Could it be that she really wanted her to give birth to a child?

As he thought about it, Chen Jiao fell asleep uneasy, but the Bodhisattva still did not appear in her dream.

Han Yue couldn't see clearly at night. When he woke up in the morning, he found that the sleeping petite lady was frowning.

Han Yue realized for the first time that Cao Zhenzhu had a son, and the second brother was happy. He was happy for the second brother, but for the petite lady who married him first, this was a distress. Thinking that his petite lady was slandered and could not bear children, Han Yue felt uncomfortable, especially the second brother kept "son" and kept talking to him every day. After hearing too much, Han Yue was a little annoyed.

"Brother, people say that drinking chicken soup and milk is good, let's kill two chickens?"

Last night, Cao Zhenzhu and Han Jiang wanted to drink chicken soup. When they woke up in the morning, Han Jiang, who wanted his son to drink enough milk, came to discuss with his brother.

Han Yue said: "Didn't you just stew a chicken the day before yesterday?" He grabbed the pheasant from the mountains. When his second brother was not at home, he did not treat Cao Zhenzhu badly...

Han Jiang grabbed his head and smiled: "Isn't this greedy again? And Brother Sheng can eat it, so the pearls need to be replenished."

If the chicken in the backyard was raised by Han Yue, he would have asked his second brother to slaughter one. However, Chen Jiao usually loves her chicken the most, so she hopes to sell the fat chicken to make money by the end of the year. In addition, she was wronged because Cao Zhenzhu gave birth to a child, so Han Yue would not touch her chicken.
