Dressed up as a Real Mom

That night, I fell asleep in the middle of the night. When I woke up the next morning, the child was still asleep. Wei Jianwei was no longer in the room, and the quilt was also put away.

He Xiaoyun lay in bed for a while, remembering that she had to “go back to her natal house” today, so she was completely awake, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

There is a mirror on the large closet in the room. She stands in front of the mirror and combs her hair. The person in the mirror has an egg-shaped face. Although she is in the countryside, her skin is unexpectedly fair, her eyes are slightly round, black and white, and the bridge of her nose is straight. And delicate, with a little fleshy lips, even if there is no makeup, he can still be a beauty.

He Xiaoyun herself is quite beautiful, she is a little beauty, but compared with this face, she is still a little worse.

In this way, she not only lost her life in vain, but also got a healthy and beautiful body. Even if the current situation is not very good, there is nothing to complain about.

After getting dressed and going out, the rest of the family started to get up. Wang Chunhua was about to go into the kitchen. He Xiaoyun saw her sister-in-law trying to help her, so she stopped her and went by herself.

“Wait for dinner and go back and take this with you.” Wang Chunhua cut a few sweet potatoes into the pot, covered the lid, and gestured to her for the back basket by the wall.

When she put things in, He Xiaoyun saw that there were about two or three catties of peanuts, half a pack of orange candies, a dozen eggs, and two cabbages on top.

Among other things, those eggs alone are hard-won. The young hens in the family don’t lay eggs every day. Three chickens can lay two eggs a day on average. Now my sister-in-law is pregnant and needs nutrition, and she has nothing else to eat, so she stews an egg custard every day. Occasionally, Wei Yuanhang can also get one. The eggs at home are not very sustainable. I am afraid that more than a dozen eggs will be served. More than half a month.

He Xiaoyun felt sorry for her, “Mom, forget about the egg, leave it to the sister-in-law.”

Wang Chunhua glanced at her unexpectedly. In the past, the second daughter-in-law was not enough, but when she didn’t say anything, she looked at her expression. It didn’t look like she was pretending. Did she really change her temper?

She shook her head, “I have saved your sister-in-law’s, these were originally intended to be taken back for you.”

Although of the two daughters-in-law, she selfishly prefers the well-behaved and diligent eldest daughter-in-law, but she still works hard to balance a bowl of water. Usually, what good things are there for the boss and the second child. If there is any work, let them Do it separately, even when the boss is not pregnant, do more. Wang Chunhua knows very well that once a family of children live together, it is easy to have conflicts. If she is partial, it will only make the house more uneasy.

After breakfast, Wei Jianwei carried the basket, and He Xiaoyun led Wei Yuanhang to set off.

The brigade they belonged to was named Qingshuihe brigade because of the river at the foot of the mountain. There were two teams on the team. Wei’s family was in the first team, and He Xiaoyun’s family was in the second team. They happened to be at the head of the village and the tail of the village, almost far away. Two kilometers.

I met many people along the way. At the beginning, the marriage between the two people caused the whole brigade and even some people in the commune to hear about it. Now that they see their family of three walking together, many people can’t help but look at them, and they are a little familiar. Stop to say hello and ask them where they are going.

After walking halfway, Wei Yuanhang’s footsteps began to become procrastinated, and the child became lazy, “Mom, I’m so tired.”

He Xiaoyun glanced at him condescendingly, and said, “It’s okay to run around, and I have a lot of energy. Now I’m tired after walking two steps?”

“It’s not two steps, many, many steps have been taken!” He gestured in a big circle with his hands, indicating a lot.

“Then what are you going to do? I’m so tired, I can’t carry you on my back.” He Xiaoyun was very ruthless.

The kid had no choice but to continue walking, groaning as he walked. After walking a little and a half, he stopped again, crying sadly: “Mom, I really can’t walk anymore.”

He Xiaoyun is still unmoved. She knows exactly what this kid is thinking. When she saw him playing with Yanyan before, she could run for a whole day. If she only went out with her, she wouldn’t be so squeamish. When Wei Jianwei was there, he acted coquettishly, hoping that someone would carry him. Who says children are innocent? One by one.

Seeing her ignoring, Wei Yuanhang turned his head and went to Wei Jianwei to pretend to be pitiful, “Dad, my legs are so hard.”

He Xiaoyun was watching, and Wei Jianwei really stopped and squatted down in front of the child.

“Dad is so good!” Wei Yuanhang cheered and rushed over, not forgetting to flatter him.

His chubby body is a heavy burden for He Xiaoyun, and it is not enough to look at on his father’s back.

Seeing that Wei Jianwei still needs to carry the bag, He Xiaoyun said, “I’ll come.”

Wei Yuanhang happily threw his leg on his father’s back, and found something as excited as Xintiandi: “Mom, you think I’m so tall, taller than you!”

He Xiaoyun patted his twisted fart and thigh, “Be safe, be careful and fall off your teeth.”

The child was obediently quiet for a minute, and then began to look around again. Wei Jianwei’s strength was so strong that he was still stable with such a mass of meat dumplings on his back.

There was still some distance from He’s home. He Xiaoyun saw Li Yuegui sitting in the yard from a distance, picking up the beans and looking up from time to time.

“Grandma! I’m coming to see you—” Wei Yuanhang broke his throat without entering the door.

Li Yuegui stood up quickly, wiped her hands on her apron, and came out with a smile to greet, “Jianwei is back?”

Wei Jianwei nodded, called Mom, and put Wei Yuanhang down.

Before the child touched the ground, Li Yuegui gave him a hug, “Oh yo, we Xiaohang has grown up again, and grandma can’t hold it anymore.”

As she said, she let a few people into the house. Seeing He Xiaoyun was holding the bag, she couldn’t help saying: “Next time you tell your mother-in-law, don’t bring so many things every time. You have many families, so you are frugal. Use the spare.”

“I know,” He Xiaoyun responded, watching Wei Yuanhang still beating his grandmother, and said: “Hanghang will come down soon, you little fat guy, you are exhausting grandma.”

Wei Yuanhang pouted, but he dared not be disobedient.

Li Yuegui cherished her grandson, and said hurriedly: “Where is our Xiaohang fat, children need to be round and round to look good.”

But she didn’t hug Wei Yuanhang anymore, instead she let him sit with Wei Jianwei and walked into the kitchen quickly.

Yesterday she heard the news of her son-in-law’s return. She knew that 80% of her daughter was going home today. She got up in the morning and boiled the water. Now she poured some hot water into the pot, made a fire in the stove, and beat the eggs after the water boiled. Go down.

He Xiaoyun followed up to help. Seeing that she was beating the eggs, she hurriedly said, “I don’t want to cook my share.” The family situation is much worse than that of Wei’s.

“How can you do that?” Li Yuegui couldn’t say anything, “Usually, it doesn’t matter if you come back alone. Jianwei is here today, and you are all guests.”

He Xiaoyun shook her head helplessly. No matter what era, this kind of thinking seems to exist. There are always people who think that if their daughters are married, even if they are from someone else’s family, they can only come back as guests when they come home, and abruptly strip them from the home they grew up in.

She knew that this kind of thinking could not be changed in a few words, and she did not argue with her for a while.

Li Yuegui asked again: “Why don’t you talk to Jianwei outside?”

He Xiaoyun thought, I have something to say to him, but if you say this, you must be trained for a while, so she changed the subject: “Dad, why isn’t he at home?”

“I was called by someone on the team to discuss rice planting. I’ll be back soon.” Li Yuegui beat six eggs in a row, covered the pot and simmered for a while, then turned to look for brown sugar in the cupboard, “Your eldest sister also came yesterday. One trip.”

There are three children in the He family, the eldest and second are both daughters, and the third is a boy, still studying. He Xiaoyun ranked second. The eldest sister above married to the brigade next door and had already given birth to two children, both daughters.

He Xiaoyun responded and waited for her to continue.

Li Yuegui pulled out a paper bag from the cupboard and sighed: “These candies were your eldest sister’s confinement last year. I bought more and saved it. She quarreled with your brother-in-law yesterday.”

“Because of the child?” He Xiaoyun asked. The eldest sister’s mother-in-law wanted a boy, and she was a little dissatisfied with her having two daughters. Not long after her confinement last year, she urged to have another one because the two daughters were both young and could not take care of them. Her eldest sister wanted to talk about it later. , So it has been noisy.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. In the Qingshuihe brigade alone, someone gave birth to five daughters in a row just to have a son. There are too many children in the family to support. They also gave two to someone else’s family. Now the daughter-in-law of that family Big belly again. This is a bit of a human nature. Some people have a dark heart. When they see that they are born as a baby girl, they drown in the basin and tell others that the child is gone after birth.

He Xiaoyun was born in a mountain nest in her previous life. At that time, family planning had already been implemented. The country only allowed one to have one. But in their place, if the first daughter is a daughter, even if she hides her birth or steals her birth, she has to have another son. Her family is In this case, there is a brother who is three years younger than her, who is almost brought up by her.

Many of the girls in the mountains do not go to school. They went out to work before graduating from junior high school. They gave birth to children within a few years and left the children in their hometowns and continued to work. When the children grew up, they would repeat their experiences.

He Xiaoyun had better luck. Her grades in elementary and junior high school were good. She was the number one in the town in the high school entrance examination. Originally, her parents wanted her to make money. It was the school principal and teacher who rushed to the house personally, persuaded them, and promised to help He Xiaoyun win. Only by reducing tuition fees can she continue to go to school.

However, they are a poor county, lack of educational resources, and can not get a few key university students in a year. He Xiaoyun went out from the countryside again. Although her grades are not bad in the town, she didn’t see enough in the county. The money for tuition and extracurricular materials were all on my own diligence, and finally I took a second book.

She was the first college student in a small village. At first, her parents were very happy and felt glamorous. Later, she heard that she had to go to university for four years before she could work. It costs a lot of tuition and living expenses every year.

Then one day, a woman in the village who had a particularly good deed came to the house and took her back and forth to look around. He Xiaoyun became vigilant in her heart and overheard her conversation with her parents, only to know that there was a boss in the county and heard that she was admitted to college. He is smart and beautiful, so he wants to spend a lot of money to marry his son with intellectual problems to be his wife, and see if he can give birth to a normal grandson.

He Xiaoyun was like a bolt from the blue. She originally thought that her parents would refuse in one fell swoop. She did not expect her daughter’s future. Compared with the money in front of her, the parents did not hesitate to choose the latter. They not only kept her at home, but also burned the admission notice in person. If her brother secretly let her go, I’m afraid she would really want to be the wife of a fool.

When she ran out of the house, she had nothing on her body. In those years, she was deceived, beaten, and almost sold off. Later, she finally struggled to be a human, but it didn’t take long before she was diagnosed with cancer. Here it is.

Precisely because of her previous life experience, she knows very well that some deep-rooted thoughts are difficult to change.

The eggs in the pot were already cooked, Li Yuegui took out three bowls, put a spoonful of brown sugar in each bowl, and put the eggs up, she said to herself: “If you want me to say, your eldest sister will give birth early, and take advantage of it. Young, you can always give birth to a boy. Your life is better than her. You are a son at the first child. Jianwei has a future. You will live well in the future. Don’t always make him angry, you know?”

He Xiaoyun didn’t answer, staring at the dizzying sparks in the stove.
