After the birth of a woman, the whole family depends on me to bring honor to the family

Song Xin followed Pan Xiaofu up the mountain, and they were just looking for dry firewood on the outskirts of the mountain, and there were quite a few people there.

"Xin'er, why didn't your second brother come?"

Song Yue asked curiously.

"If she didn't come, then she didn't come! My father asked him to wash the quilt. The severe winter is coming, and he was afraid that my sister would not have a clean quilt when she was born."

Song Yue understood clearly. He said so! Usually he was the one who came to collect firewood, why did someone else change today?

Song Yue and Song Jing are close friends. They are about the same age and have common hobbies, so they have a very good relationship.

Song Xin was exhausted after picking up only a small amount of firewood. Pan Xiaofu shook his head as he looked at him. If Xin develops this kind of character since childhood, it will be difficult for him to get married in the future!

The sky was covered with dark clouds and it was about to rain. Pan Xiaofu called Song Xin and followed everyone down the mountain. They didn't collect much firewood.

Ma Taozhi saw Song Xin sitting on the ground exhausted with a frown on his face. He thought he was such a fool who didn't know etiquette. It would be embarrassing if others laughed at him in the future.

"Xin'er, as a boy, you can't sit on the ground like that. Your grandmother is a teacher. If others see us, won't they laugh at us?"

Ma Taozhi's bulging belly and serious look scared Song Xin so much that he stood up.

"Dad, I was wrong."

"Well! Learn from your second brother. A brother should act like a brother."

"Good dad."

Seeing how obedient he was, Ma Taozhi went back to his room satisfied. He still had to make small clothes for his unborn daughter!

Seeing that his father wasn't paying attention to him, Song Xin quietly ran out of the yard.

"Xin'er, the young lady from the Wang family in that town is really pretty."

"Really? I think it's just so-so! Not even as pretty as my elder sister!"

Two five-year-old boys were discussing gossip under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

Song Xiang moved closer to him and whispered in his ear.

"Xin'er, let me tell you, a few days ago I saw Jiaojiao peeking at your elder sister taking a bath, his face was red, I was on the ridge of the field by the river at the time, I think he probably has feelings for your sister."

Song Xin's eyes were cunning for a moment, but it quickly disappeared, and he said somewhat unintentionally.

"Isn't Brother Song Jiaojiao engaged? He's the sister of Song Xiaohe at the head of the village."

"Really? Why haven't I heard Brother Jiaojiao say that?"

"What's the big deal? Maybe he doesn't want to say it because he's shy! By the way, don't spread the story about him watching my sister take a bath. If you ruin Jiaojiao's marriage, your mother will beat you."

Song Xiang nodded and promised repeatedly, and they both swore a solemn oath. Then the two little ones dispersed and went home to eat.

As soon as Song Jing brought the food to the table, Song Xin came back happily, washed her hands and sat at the table, but no one sat in the center seat, which was reserved for Song Yi.

As soon as Song Yi entered the house, she felt a little embarrassed when she saw her grandfather, father and younger brother waiting for her to eat.

"Dad, Grandpa, I'm sorry! I slept late last night and forgot the time when I got up today."

"Okay, sister, let's eat!"

"Yes! I know, sir."

Only after Song Yi started eating could the rest of the family start eating. There was only one meat dish today, but Ma Taozhi ate better than anyone else and he even had two eggs.

In Luoshan Village, he is the first man who eats two eggs every day when he is pregnant.

Who can blame him for marrying well? The woman is capable, the mother-in-law is also capable, and his father-in-law doesn't bully him.

Just as they were eating, there was a loud bang in the sky, and the deafening thunder frightened everyone.

"Boom, crack..."

The sky turned completely dark in the morning. Lightning flashed across the sky like fire snakes and the thunder became louder and louder, as if it was right in front of us.

"Brother Jing, go to the room and get a candle."

"Yes, Master."

Song Jing got up and groped in the dark, using the key given by his grandfather to open a cabinet. He fumbled around and took out a candle, then found a tinderbox.

The light of a single candle was still bright, swaying in the wind. The whole family ate faster, as it was frighteningly dark.

The rain had not yet come, but the wind was howling, rustling the leaves all around, and even at noon the sky was still overcast.

"Alas! This severe winter seems to be coming faster than expected!"

Pan Xiaofu sighed, then took the insole and started mending it.

Song Xin also sat on the bed. He watched Song Jing embroidering a handkerchief. The candlelight flickered.

"Second brother, aren't you afraid of damaging your eyes by embroidering a handkerchief like this?"

"The severe winter is coming. My second brother doesn't want to embroider a handkerchief. The money that mother and grandma earn is not enough. And father is about to give birth. Then our family will have one more mouth to feed."

Song Jing looked at the little boy and shook her head. Forget it. Why tell him all this? Children don't understand anyway.

Song Xin was silent, a dark light flashed in his eyes, the family was really short of money, and the hopes of his mother, father, grandmother and grandfather rested on this unborn sister.

Women studied to take the imperial examinations and become officials, while men stayed at home to take care of their wives and children. Song Xin also wanted to study and learn to read, so men could go to school and there were also men's colleges.

But that costs money, and after graduation, there is a high possibility that he will become a servant of a son of a wealthy family, and his status will be higher than that of other brothers.

His eyes were dull, and he stared at the swaying branches outside the window in a daze.

It was still a little dark in the afternoon. Song Jing was cooking with burning firewood. Ma Taozhi's eyelids were twitching and she felt like her stomach was falling.

"Dad, my stomach is always uncomfortable."

Pan Xiaofu put down the work in his hands and walked into the room to take a look. He touched it and then gave him a reassuring look.

"Taozhi, there are still five days left. You must be too nervous. Just take it easy."

"Dad, I always feel uneasy and my eyelids are twitching. Do you think something big is going to happen?"

"What could it be? Stop imagining it all day. I don't need to tell you how Zhining treats you, right? She won't do anything to let you down."

Then he helped Ma Taozhi onto the bed. There was a loud thunder in the sky and bright lightning flashed across the horizon.

"Shhhhh..."

A rainstorm came and the whole village was drenched by the downpour. Water droplets on the ground bounced everywhere, splashing mud everywhere.

Song Yi was feeling uneasy and couldn't sleep. After dinner she always felt that something was going to happen.

A night passed and nothing happened, but every household stayed at home. The rain was so heavy that people could not see clearly on the road and their vision was blurred by the rain.

Song Zhining's heart was also shaking. She rolled over and over in anxiety. No, she really couldn't let go of her husband.

As soon as the sun rose, she would rush back to see her husband and unborn daughter, otherwise she would really have trouble eating and sleeping.

The heavy rain had subsided a little, and Song Yi was wearing a bamboo hat and cleaning the ditches. If the accumulated ditches were not cleaned, the foundation of the house would easily be soaked and rotten.

Suddenly, she felt herself being stared at by a pair of eyes. She turned around hurriedly and saw a pair of brown wolf with fierce eyes standing at the fence outside the yard, looking at her.
