"Chu Man had a miscarriage?"
How long has it been since that woman got married that she's already pregnant
Although Yingbao found it unbelievable, she still followed Chuchu to her home.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Chen Fengshi standing inside with a sullen face. Chu Man was lying on a bamboo bed, and Fourth Aunt Wu was checking on her.
"It was indeed a miscarriage." Aunt Wu said to Chen Fengshi, "It's nothing serious. Just let her go back and lie down for a few days to recuperate."
Chen Feng glared at Chu Man with annoyance and said, "Don't you know you're pregnant? Your fourth aunt said it's nothing, why don't you get up and go home!"
Chu Man didn’t feel anything about whether the tire slipped or not, but she still remembered that it was Chen Zhao who hit her, and she couldn’t help but cry out loudly: "It was that little bitch who hit me! Wuuuuu! Instead of saying anything to her, you blame me! You all come to bully me... Wuuuuuu... I want to go home..."
Chen Feng rolled her eyes: "If you want to go back, go back. No one will stop you!"
After saying that, he turned around and left the house to find Chen Zhao.
Chuchu held her little girl in her arms, glanced at Chuman, and whispered to Yingbao, "Just now, cousin Chuman came to my house and said that she had a severe stomachache and that she was bleeding. I called Granny Chen, Granny Wu, and... I called you..."
Ying Bao said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I've already eaten anyway."
She stretched her head over to look at the little girl, teased her a few times, and asked, "Have you chosen a name?"
Chuchu smiled: "Not yet, my husband said to wait until she is one year old before giving her a name, now she is called Niuniu."
···
Three days after Jiang Cheng's wedding, the bride returned home and the entire Jiang family went to the county town again to meet the in-laws, meaning to get to know each other's main relatives, such as uncles and aunts on both sides.
The men will take charge of this matter, while the women will stay at home to prepare New Year's food.
Yingbao and Jiang Quan also followed, they were not going to meet relatives, but to prepare to close the business.
On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, as the saying goes, it's time to slaughter pigs and cut meat for the New Year. The county market is bustling with people, and all kinds of stalls fill both sides of the road.
Jiang Quan took his little cousin past these stalls and bought some of the nice-looking and fun gadgets they saw.
These things are not expensive, ranging from a few cents to more than ten cents, and are perfect for making Guanpu turntables.
Yingbao was thinking about the flowers, melons, fruits, etc. in the cave and wanted to take them out, so she deliberately avoided Jiang Quan.
She carried a small bamboo basket with a lid on her back. She would just take a walk alone and put the things in the basket to take back.
At this time, Jiang Quan saw a stall selling small porcelain dolls. He squatted down to pick and choose, preparing to buy some more to take back.
This thing only costs three or five cents each, won’t change color or rot, and can be stored for any length of time, so he decided to buy some more.
Yingbao took advantage of this opportunity, quietly stepped back a few steps, and slipped behind a lantern shop. Behind the shop was a high wall and no one passed by.
He took the backpack off his back, then reached into the basket and, like a magic trick, took out some apples and melons from the cave and put them into the basket.
Seeing that the basket was almost full, he took out some more flowers and put them on top.
Like the wood dan, also known as gardenia, peony, **, etc.
After putting the things away, Yingbao found that she could no longer carry the backpack.
Just when she was at a loss, a child came out from under the lantern stand and stood in front of her.
"Yingbao, what are you doing?" The person who came was Jintong, Jiang Cheng's brother-in-law and Qiu Rong's seven-year-old brother.
Yingbao: "I'm not doing anything. Why are you alone?" She looked around and didn't see anyone else.
Jin Tong wiped his nose and said, "I am just a person." He glanced at the backpack, blinked, and said in surprise, "It's so beautiful. Is this for my elder sister?"
Some time ago, Jiang Cheng sent a lot of gifts, including jewelry and hair flowers. Jintong thought these beautiful flowers were also for his elder sister.
Yingbao: "These are for business." Not for giving away.
I was afraid that this little brat would learn nonsense when he returned, so I picked out a few wood dandelions and two peonies and gave them to him: "Take them back to your elder sister."
Jin Tong refused: "I'm not going home now, you can give it to her yourself."
There were a lot of guests at home, and his parents and eldest sister were entertaining them. He took the opportunity to sneak out and play for a while, and didn't want to go back at this time.
Yingbao put Mudan back and stuffed a big apple and two wood hibiscus flowers into his pocket. Then he dragged the backpack out and stood by the roadside calling his second cousin.
Jiang Quan was only three meters away. When he heard his cousin calling him, he hurried over and asked, "Where have you been?"
Yingbao pointed at the backpack and said, "I bought so many new things that I can't carry them anymore."
When Jiang Quan saw the flowers and apples in the basket, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. "Where did you buy them? These apples are bigger than the ones we have at home."
It was the first time he saw such a big and red apple. He was amazed. He picked up one and smelled it, and the fresh fragrance of the apple filled his nose.
"How much is one?" Apples this big should be sold individually. If they are not expensive, you can buy some more and resell them.
Yingbao thought for a moment and said, "Fifty cents each." An apple weighs one pound, so fifty cents each shouldn't be expensive.
"It's not expensive, not expensive." But you won't make much money if you resell it.
Jiang Quan picked up the backpack and felt it was very heavy.
"Let's send these things back first and come back to shop later."
He also bought a lot of things and was about to take them back.
Yingbao nodded, turned to look at Jintong, and found that he was gone.
This boy is so elusive and he gave her a scare just now.
The brother and sister put their things back home and prepared to go to the market again.
Xiao Hei barked at them and followed them, wagging his tail.
Yingbao saw that it had a sturdy body and was as tall as a wolfhound. She rolled her eyes and went back to find a saddlebag for it to cover itself with.
If you can't carry it yourself, you can let Xiao Hei carry it. This is called making the best use of things.
Jiang Quan was afraid that his big dog might hurt others, so he tied a leash to it and then led Xiao Hei out.
Halfway through the journey, he suddenly saw some children fighting not far away. When he got closer, he saw that it was Jintong, who was fighting with two children about his age.
Yingbao shouted and rushed over, pushed a child away and pulled Jintong over.
There were several scratches on Jin Tong's face. He pointed at the two children and cried with snot and tears: "Wuwuwuwu... They stole my apples!"
When Yingbao heard this, she was furious and chased after the two kids, ready to punch them.
The fist was raised high but could not hit.
A dirty child of a few years old was holding the half of an apple that Jintong had bitten, and was huddled against the wall, eating it with his head down. From time to time, he would pass the apple to another child so that he could have a bite too.
Is this a beggar
Yingbao was curious as to why the two children did not run away after snatching the apples, but instead squatted under the wall to eat them, so she looked around.
She found a person lying at the foot of the wall, his eyes closed, covered with a tattered piece of linen, and motionless.
No wonder the two children didn’t run away. I guess this person must be one of their relatives.
Yingbao said to the two children, "Hey! Where are you from?"
The resident beggars in the county town rarely sleep under the wall in such weather. Most of them will find a dilapidated temple or a bridge hole to stay in, otherwise they will freeze to death.
