Chapter 3

Before dawn, Chen min'er got up, washed rice in a hot pot, kneaded noodles and steamed bread.

"Min'er, your health is better. Go back to the house and have a rest. My mother will do it." Wu tied his apron and came to catch up with min'er.

"Mom, it's all right. I've recovered from my illness. It's mom. I have to take care of me and my sister-in-law these days. Everyone has lost a circle." Chen min'er said with a smile, and quickly put the steamed bread into the steamer.

Wu Shi looked at his sensible daughter and felt very grateful. He robbed the steamer drawer in his daughter's hand: "then you help your mother burn a fire."

When the mother and the son make breakfast, Chen Zhengde and stone get up too. Today, the father and son are going to go hunting in the mountain.

"His father, it's hard to walk on this snowy mountain. You must be careful." Wu warned anxiously.

Chen Zhengde gave a sound and continued to bow his head to check his bow and arrow.

Chen min'er has packed the dry food and handed it to his eldest brother: "brother, come back early."

Seeing off his father and son, Wu said, "min'er, go and ask your sister-in-law to get up for dinner. What time is it, and you're still asleep."

Chen min'er said with a smile, "I'd better send breakfast to my sister-in-law. Let her get up and eat. She'd rather not eat."

"This lazy woman, thanks to matchmaker Wang, praised her like a flower." Wu complained.

"Forget it, sister-in-law is pregnant!" Chen min'er packed two white steamed buns and a bowl of porridge and sent them to Westinghouse.

Jin Qiaohua heard the news and continued to pretend to sleep in the quilt.

Chen min'er put breakfast on the Kang table at one end: "sister-in-law, I put breakfast here. You get up and eat it quickly. It's bad for your stomach when it's cold."

Jin Qiaohua pulled up the quilt and covered her head.

Chen min'er didn't think so, and turned out of Westinghouse.

Wu is packing up a pair of antlers to sell in the city.

"Mother, how much are these antlers worth?" Chen min'er asked.

"Maybe you can sell copper money! Unfortunately, there are not many deer around here, otherwise you will have money." Wu said.

Chen min'er Xin said, it's too cheap. The medicine shop can sell at least tens of liang of silver after collecting these antlers! Bullying honest people doesn't understand the market.

"Mom, why don't I take it and sell it? You see, my sister-in-law is about to give birth. If something happens, I can't cope with it at home." Chen miner said.

Wu hesitated and let min'er go to the city alone. She was not at ease, but if min'er really said, she was even more worried.

"Can you...?"

Chen min'er said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry! I won't sell it without copper money."

Wu Shi gave her an angry look: "I mean, it's a long way to the city. Can your body bear it?"

"It's all right. Today, er Niu and her brother are going to the city. I can take his ox cart. I'm not tired." Chen min'er said.

She has been looking for a chance to go to the city and want to see the Shen family. She doesn't know if the Shen family will be affected by her. Last night, she heard her father and mother muttering that they want to sell their collected antlers, so she began to think.

With her mother's permission, Chen miner carried a pair of antlers to find Erniu.

When Er Niu heard min'er call her, she ran out and said with a smile, "min'er is so early! I thought your mother wouldn't let you go."

Chen min'er said, "my sister-in-law is about to give birth. My mother has to stay at home to take care of her. Can we start?"

Two girls said, "my brother and my father went to the ground early in the morning. I have to wash clothes and feed pigs. I can't go until I finish my work. Why don't you come and sit down first?"

Chen min'er said, "then give me your clothes. I'll go to the stream first. Come back after you feed the pigs. Finish the work early, or start early."

The second girl said, "how interesting is that?"

Chen min'er said with a smile: "Why are you embarrassed? Don't you often help me work?"
