Chapter 1 Production
The west wind was blowing, and the last few leaves on the trees were blown off by the wind. The cold hands went straight into the sleeves.
Suddenly the cry of a baby was heard in a small courtyard at the entrance of Osmanthus Alley, followed by the mother-in-law's call to announce the good news: "Congratulations, Mr. Su, for giving birth to a big fat boy!"
At the door of the nursery, a corner of the heavy curtain was lifted. Su Daguan stood on tiptoes and looked into the room with a joyful expression on his face. He did not forget to promise the midwife's words, "Thank you very much. How heavy is my boy?"
As if afraid of the cold wind coming in, he conveniently dropped a corner of the child and said happily, "No hurry... no hurry..." He turned around and said to a six-year-old little lady, "Ajin, your mother gave birth to you again. Brother, are you happy..."
This is not a question, but a direct statement of excitement. Dr. Su, who is about to turn 30, rubs his hands and spins them in circles happily, immersed in the feeling of having many children and many blessings.
Su Ruojin really couldn't bear to hit him, but seeing that the midwife in the nursery was about to pack up and come out to get the wedding money, she had no choice but to do this to this unpleasant person.
“Dad, how much money are you going to give Granny Ma for her wedding?”
Dr. Su:…
Looking at the three children lined up in front of him from high to low, the joy on Dr. Su's face turned into nothing. He reached out and touched the shortest second son, and said to the eldest son, "You and your sister let Granny Ma go first." Wait a minute, I’ll come as soon as I can.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked through the corridor, went down the steps, opened the courtyard door, and left the house.
The three brothers and sisters looked at their frozen father, who was bent over and disappeared into the cold wind. They looked at each other wordlessly, feeling heavy.
Su Dalang and Su Anzhi showed sadness like a young adult: "Sister, what should we do now?"
The cold winter has arrived, but before the end of the month, when my father receives his salary, the rice jars, oil cans, and firewood in the kitchen will soon be at the bottom. It’s amazing to be able to eat for two days, and now my mother is giving birth to her fourth child. , these days... Su Ruojin doesn't know how to live.
Headache.
Su Ruojin is not a real six-year-old lady in her heart, and she doesn’t know why. After sleeping and waking up, she became a baby similar to the Yin Dynasty of Song Dynasty.
That’s right, she was born through fetal transmutation, carrying the memories of her previous life.
Dad went out to borrow money. Mom had just given birth to a baby. She was the only one who could support the family.
He asked his eight-year-old brother Su Anzhi to go to the kitchen to look at the fire in the stove, and asked him to take his eldest brother to the stove. It was cold in winter, and due to lack of money, he did not have enough thick clothes to keep warm, so he had to squat by the stove to keep warm.
Su Ruojin herself entered the delivery room and saw that the midwife had already wrapped and washed the little brother. She grinned and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, my father has something to do and will be back later. Please wait a moment." "
While talking pleasantly, he warmed his hands on the fire basket next to the bed. After they were warmed, he walked to his mother in this life and stretched out his hand to smooth her sweaty hair around her temples to make it fresh. , and then looked at the quilt and mattress under her body.
Midwife Ma Shi was not angry when she saw the little lady inspecting her work like an adult. Instead, she smiled, "Except for your eldest brother, I delivered the babies to you and Xiaoerlang. There was no time when I didn't do it for your mother." Tightly attached.”
So Ma is really a good person.
"Thank you, mother-in-law. I was just worried that my mother would have too many children, and I was afraid that she would be in trouble, so I looked at her more."
Hearing this, Mrs. Ma couldn't help but sigh secretly. Although Su Daguan was a second-ranked Jinshi and was the first doctor in the Imperial College to receive a court salary, in the capital, he is probably no more than an eighth-rank official with no skills. The common people, traffickers and gangsters were so strong, but now they have added another one, and I am afraid that even their livelihood will be a problem. Thinking about it, I looked towards the door and thought to myself, Su Daguan still hasn't asked her to go out to get the wedding money. Could it be that she went out to borrow money?
Su Ruojin smiled helplessly. Madam Ma couldn't help but be surprised. Did she really guess it?
This... Madam Ma bent down and took out the **** bedding, "Watch your brother."
Seeing that she was about to go out, Su Ruojin glanced at her infant brother and saw that he was sleeping peacefully, so she raised her heels and walked out.
“Mother-in-law…”
Ma has delivered babies to the Su family several times, but the Su family has moved twice in the past few years. I don’t know where to put these **** beddings?
Su Ruojin ran her legs and led her to the small side room, "Thank you, mother-in-law."
“I remember that there was a woman who cooked in your family?”
Upon hearing this, Su Ruojin felt sad, with a nonchalant look on her face, "This yard is too small, and my mother didn't let her come with her." In fact, she owed rent to others, and her mother-in-law was robbed by the previous landlord and had to work to pay for the rent. , I won’t be able to come back until a year later.
Mr. Ma is in her fifties or sixties. She is an old Beijing expert and doesn’t know anything. When the young lady said this, her mind turned around and she remembered the gossip in the past, and she immediately understood.
She let out a long sigh, "This is really..." She didn't know what to say, "Okay, I get it." After saying that, she glanced towards the yard. The sky was getting gloomier, and there was no sign that Su Daguan had returned yet. He looked at the delivery room and then at the young lady in front of him. He bent down and put the **** bedding into the wooden basin, picked it up and headed to the well platform.
Su Ruojin saw that he was going to wash her, and quickly pulled her away, "Mother-in-law... mother-in-law... leave it alone, I... dad will wash it when he comes back..."
Mrs. Ma was stunned and asked Su Daguan to wash the **** bedding of the pregnant woman? She almost screamed.
Su Ruojin stood, looking more like an old lady than Mrs. Ma, with a look of vicissitudes of life. Since she was going to give birth, she had to raise her. Who would wash him if he didn't? He couldn't call the eight-year-old Su Anzhi, the six-year-old her, or the three-year-old eldest brother. !
If only that crazy man could really make the six-year-old Su Ruojin wash his hands, fortunately Su Yanli was not the one. After the mother-in-law at home was snatched away to pay the rent, all the external work was done by her father's young man Shu Tong. Internally, she After my mother was about to give birth and couldn't move, Su Yanli washed some of her personal clothes and didn't let the three children touch them.
Su Ruojin didn't hug her either. Not to mention that her body was like that of a six-year-old child. Moreover, due to living conditions and other reasons, she was born thin and had a bad foundation. Fortunately, she never got sick. Otherwise, in ancient times, With this kind of medical condition, a cold can kill someone.
Mr. Ma was kind-hearted. She not only washed Cheng's **** bedding, but also helped her wash her clothes. She stayed busy until it was almost dark.
Seeing that her father had not borrowed the wedding money yet, Su Ruojin stood anxiously at the door of the courtyard and looked outside frequently. Instead of waiting for Su Yanli, he waited for his young man Shu Tong.
"Uncle Shutong..." Su Ruojin raised her legs and was about to step out of the threshold, but he stopped her with a smile, "Has Madam given birth to a boy?"
"Yes." She looked at the mule bag and saw that it was empty, her eyes showed joy, "Uncle Shutong..."
Shutong smiled and narrowed his eyes, "They're all sold."
"Amitabha Buddha." Su Ruojin folded her hands together excitedly and bowed like an old woman.
