The Little Widower (farming)

Extra 1

As soon as the winter month passes, the new year is here.

This year's New Year seems to be more energetic and lively because of the arrival of new life.

I didn't feed pigs this year, so I bought all the pork for bacon from the butcher. Three pieces of pork belly are used to cook bacon porridge. On weekdays, they are boiled and cut into crystal clear pieces and are oily when used for stir-frying. The piece of pork belly is the most chewy. To eat, the salted and air-dried pork ribs stewed with mushroom soup is a must-have.

The taste of the new year has arrived unknowingly, and Chen Qing's belly is obviously pregnant. He is wearing a loose jacket, with rabbit fur armholes on his hands, squatting on the edge of the vegetable field, waiting for Aunt Sun to pinch the pea tips for him. Make pea tip meatball soup.

In two days, Meng Shuanzi will get married to Qin Xia. Zhou Yuan has been helping them these two days. It is approaching the new year and it is another happy event. Chen Qing's eyebrows are stretched. All he thinks about now is eating well. Food.

"Look at how greedy she is." Aunt Sun had finished pinching the tips of the peas and then returned to the kitchen to chop meat and make meatballs. Chen Qing put down his armband and sat by the stove to light the fire.

"I went to see An An and Ning Ning today. They look better and better as they get older, but I can't tell who they look like." Chen Qing added a piece of firewood.

The sound of chopping meat was not disturbing. Aunt Sun stopped and said, "I think An An and Ning Ning will look like Qi Shuning."

"They are all good-looking anyway." Chen Qing held his face, feeling a little greedy. Then he quietly moved behind Aunt Sun and reached into the kimchi jar.

Aunt Sun seemed to have eyes in her back, she grabbed Chen Qing's hand and said, "Other people are pregnant, and all they want to eat is delicious food, but you are worthless, staring at my kimchi jar." "

Chen Qing fished out a piece of sour beans and ate it, then patted his belly and said, "I'll let my children grow vegetables for you in the future."

"Oh, don't, it's too late for such a baby to feel sorry for you. How can you grow vegetables with me? ."

As the water in the pot boiled, Aunt Sun chopped up the meat filling, added an egg mixture, and added some salt and ginger to taste. After the water with ginger slices was boiled, Chen Qing put it in the stove. The firewood was withdrawn, and then Aunt Sun rolled the meat into balls and put them into the pot.

When the meatballs are cooked, blanch the pea tips in the hot soup and the soup is ready. New rice was steamed on the pot on the other side. The smell of steaming rice made Chen Qing hungry.

But Zhou Yuan hasn't come back yet.

Aunt Sun saw his desire to fight, and directly served him a bowl of soup with a few meatballs and a chopstick of pea tips floating on it: "You eat first, there are so many in the pot, leave them for him."

Zhou When Chen Qing came back from afar to eat, he ate some more with him. His appetite had become bigger recently, and he didn't feel full after eating another bowl.

"Are you almost ready?" Aunt Sun asked.

"It's almost the same. They can't live together before they get married. Qin Xia doesn't have a place to live yet." Zhou Yuan never chooses what to eat. Seeing that they all stopped using their chopsticks, he ate all the remaining dishes on the table. A clean one.

Aunt Sun thought for a while and said, "Just live here with me. The house that A Qing lived in before has not been touched."

Chen Qing looked over and thought that Aunt Sun was just saying polite words, but Aunt Sun smiled and said, "Someone will accompany me." It's okay to talk."

He looked at Zhou Yuan, who nodded: "I'll talk to Shuanzi later."

After lunch, Chen Qing and Aunt Sun went to see Li Xin and the child. They left. He walked slowly and staggeringly to the door of Li Xin's house.

It was winter and she didn't dare to take her children out. They were just playing in the house. Chen Qing walked into the house and saw two children lying on the bed. Li Xin was holding the sewing basket in his hand, as if he was doing embroidery work. .

When Chen Qing came in, Li Xin put the basket away like a thief. Chen Qing laughed and said, "Want to do needlework?"

Seeing that it was him, Li Xin was no longer embarrassed and said, "This embroidery needle will make the iron work better." The hammer is still heavy." He stretched out his hand to show Chen Qing, and there were tiny needle holes on his fingers.

"Aren't the children's clothes enough? I just have some free time these days. How about making two more clothes for them?" Chen Qing asked.

Li Xin scratched her head and felt a little embarrassed: "It's just that the children don't have anything made by me. I don't know how to put it, and their clothes are basically made by you. It's not good for you to work hard every day."

Chen Qing After thinking about it: "Then you will embroider names on all the clothes I make. It shouldn't be difficult to embroider names, right?"

"Then you will teach me?"

They stayed in the room learning needlework all afternoon. Damn, I didn't even know when Qin Xia came. Qin Xia greeted them, and the two of them just responded.

Seeing that they were serious, Qin Xia went around to look at the child. At this moment, An An woke up. Qin Xia stretched out a finger, and An An caught it, making babbling sounds.

After Chen Qing and Li Xin finally finished, they spoke to Qin Xia: "We're getting married soon."

Qin Xia's face showed no shyness, and he looked at Chen Qing: "Yes, I'm here to thank you."

"Why are you thanking me?"

"Shuanzi said that my aunt agreed to my marrying from her home, which was your place."

Chen Qing laughed: "What's the point?"

Qin Xia suddenly stood up: "I Will you accept your aunt as your godmother? We will be brothers from now on."

Li Xin applauded: "I think this is appropriate."

Qin Xia was a resolute person and immediately escorted Chen Qing back to Aunt Sun and told her. idea.

"Well, there's really no need. The house is empty, and I'm very happy."

Qin Xia was very angry: "Anyway, I have no friends here. If I quarrel with Shuanzi in the future, I won't even have a place to go, aunt." , Seeing that I am alone, you have pity on me."

As Aunt Sun grew older, her heart became softer, maybe because she thought of her past self, and finally nodded.

So the dinner was more sumptuous. Chen Qing and Zhou Yuan testified that in order to show their filial piety, Qin Xia cooked the dinner.

"I used to only know how to give. I feel that I should repay them for giving birth to me and raising me." Qin Xia took a sip of wine, "So no matter how much they ask for, I feel that is what I should do, even if they don't Treat me like a human being."

In Qin Xia's case, the past days are not like a passing cloud. Those sufferings have never passed for him.

"When I came here, I discovered that it's not all about taking and giving between relatives." He smiled, "Although Mother Shuanzi always says she dislikes me, she actually cares about me a lot of the time. The people here , everyone is very good."

He raised the glass again and stretched it out to Aunt Sun: "I called you mother first, and you will be my mother from now on."

"Drink slowly," Aunt Sun said helplessly. Had a drink.

"I will be filial to you, and Chen Qing and I will be filial to you." After just three glasses of wine, Qin Xia became drunk, and he lay dizzy on the table.

Chen Qing was stunned, and finally helped the person into the house with Aunt Sun, and then the three of them talked.

"He is also a poor child. I hope Shuanzi will not let him down in the future." Aunt Sun took a bite of food.

Zhou Yuan glanced sideways outside the yard, and then said: "Stop hiding and come out."

Meng Shuanzi then walked out a little embarrassed: "Auntie."

"How long have you been here?" Aunt Sun asked.

Chen Qing went to the kitchen to get him a new set of dishes and chopsticks. Meng Shuanzi scratched his head: "Not long after he arrived, I wanted to pick him up and take him home."

"He is asleep." Aunt Sun said, "In a few days Isn't it about to get married? We can't live under the same roof anymore. Pack up his things and put them here tomorrow."

Meng Shuanzi nodded: "Thank you, Auntie."

After dinner, Zhou Yuan and Meng Shuanzi. After washing the dishes and cleaning up, Chen Qing felt a little sore in his waist and went home to lie down. After a while, Zhou Yuan came back.

After he gave Chen Qing some water to wash up, he climbed into bed and hugged Chen Qing to sleep. His hand unconsciously fell on Chen Qing's lower abdomen. From the time when Chen Qing was pregnant, he had developed the habit of following Chen Qing before going to bed. Children have a habit of talking, and today is no exception.

Just when Zhou Yuan screamed, the place under his palm moved slightly. Zhou Yuan stared at Chen Qing's belly in disbelief, screamed again, and Chen Qing's belly moved again.

This was the first time that the two of them felt fetal movement. Chen Qing was also very excited, with tears in his eyes: "He's moving."

Zhou Yuan leaned closer and put his ear against Chen Qing's belly. , but the child didn't want to pay attention to them at the moment and didn't move. Zhou Yuan gently tapped Chen Qing's belly: "Go to sleep well."

He stood up and kissed Chen Qing's cheek: "You should also have a good rest. "

Three days later, it was the day when Qin Xia and Meng Shuanzi got married. Qin Xia recognized her godmother from that day and lived in the house where Chen Qing used to live.

He is Aunt Sun's godson, and Chen Qing is naturally his natal family. He has been with Aunt Sun since he got up early in the morning.

Qin Xia's wedding dress was not embroidered by herself, but was a style from the town. Even so, Qin Xia was already very satisfied.

Chen Qing asked him: "Are you nervous?"

Qin Xia shook his head and smiled: "I'm not nervous, there is nothing to be nervous about."

After a while, Li Xin also came. It was rare for him to put down his two children and go out for a walk. At this time, the three of them The conversation in the house was lively.

Li Xin came with his pamphlet again and handed it to Qin Xia solemnly. Qin Xia looked through it and nodded to Li Xin.

Seeing that the time to get married was coming, Aunt Sun came into the room. Qin Xia had not tied her hair yet. Aunt Sun looked at the wooden comb on the dressing table. Qin Xia was still waiting for her to comb her hair.

"I, my life is not very good." Aunt Sun took back her hand, "I won't comb your hair."

Qin Xia stood up and held Aunt Sun's hand: "When Chen Qing got married, you combed his hair. Come on." He took Aunt Sun's hand and shook it. "Don't be partial."

Aunt Sun had no choice but to tie his hair.

The wedding was very lively. Aunt Sun sat in the high hall again. Chen Qing and Li Xin mingled in the crowd and felt very happy when they saw the ceremony was completed.

Zhou Yuan came after a while. He touched Chen Qing's palm and found it was warm. When night fell, he spoke to Shuanzi and took Chen Qing back home.

"I'm so happy to see them getting married." Chen Qing seemed to be feeling happy and moved.

Zhou Yuan talked to the child again: "It's so late, and you're still not sleeping."

Chen Qing felt his stomach was chrysalis for a while, and he patted it gently: "I went to bed late today, let's take a rest right away, okay? ?"

He spoke softly, and his lowered eyelashes were like thin feathers. Zhou Yuan's Adam's apple moved, and then he looked at Chen Qing: "How about not going to bed so early, I think..."

He whispered In Chen Qing's ear: "I have read the brochure, and there are other methods. Let's try it."

Chen Qing's face turned red, and after a while, he nodded lightly.

The night is thick and the room is warm.
