Chapter 68：

"What are you talking about!" Uncle Xie gave a rare stare, "Now our brother has entered the Lin family's door, and they are not bad to our brother, let alone those old adult things."

Xie Ama also knows this truth, "But isn't it worrying about him! If it wasn't for that year! Alas," Xie Ama thought about this, the more guilty he felt in his heart. He shouldn't have agreed to the marriage in the first place.

"But that's not what I said. If we didn't have that awkward thing, our brother would not have met this marriage." Uncle Xie didn't know. As early as when he injured his leg, Lin Fangliang was thinking about Brother Xie. Had it not been for Ma Fugui's kick at that time, this Xie brother might have entered the Lin family's gate long ago.

"Boom boom boom, Uncle Xie, I'm Li Changfeng!" Li Changfeng knocked on the door with the basket in his hand.

As soon as he heard the sound from the courtyard door, Uncle Xie got up and opened the courtyard door, "Chang Feng, what good food does this bring us again?"

As soon as Uncle Xie opened the courtyard door, he smelled a special scent. Seeing Li Changfeng carrying the basket again, he didn't have to think to know that it was the food for them.

Xie Ama listened to Uncle Xie's loud voice and couldn't help sighing. This man has been living for so many years, how can he still lose a muscle!

"It's just a new dish made by Qing. I will give you and Xie Ama a taste. I'm going back now."

Li Changfeng handed the basket to Uncle Xie and bid farewell anxiously. Xu Qing was still at home waiting for him to eat.

"Go go, this kid."

Uncle Xie was intoxicated and sniffed the contents of the basket and happily closed the courtyard door. It was a long time since I had tasted Qing brother's craftsmanship.

The spicy tofu in the evening made Xu Qing and Li Changfeng both have a round belly. Before going to bed, Li Changfeng didn't forget to scoop up a few bowls of beans and soak them. I guess he didn't enjoy it and wanted to make it by himself.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the night came very fast. After half a month, Xu Qing saw the first snow that came to this world.

"Let’s burn the fire kang and fire wall today."

That thing can warm up a day. Xu Qing wore a thick new cotton coat and wrapped himself into a ball, which was still a big-bellied ball.

Li Changfeng touched Xu Qing's slightly cool hand, pulled him away from the window, and went to cook his own lunch. By the way, he opened the thing between the fire kang and the fire wall so that he could get warm.

When I was tired of eating tofu, Xu Qing wanted to come up with dried tofu. When I was tired of eating dried tofu, he made tofu soup. Now I don’t even want to drink tofu soup. During this time, Xu Qing always thinks that nothing tastes tasteless when he eats kimchi. There is no freshness in the food.

That's it! Xu Qing suddenly remembered something made of tofu, fermented bean curd!

Fermented bean curd is an appetizer and something to eat. So after lunch that day, Li Changfeng had something to do. He cut the tofu that was not finished yesterday into small pieces, dried them a bit, and found a small jar and salted it. After getting up, wait until the tofu has turned blue-gray, and then process a little, the fermented bean curd will become.

Looking at the ten small jars under the cupboard, Xu Qing looked satisfied. These are all his rations!

"By the way, my daughter-in-law, let's choose a day to slaughter the pig. It is cold and snowing, so the pig grass will be less, and the pig will easily lose weight." Li Changfeng is also approaching the New Year, right? It's time to slaughter the two hundred catties fat pig in the pen.

"Okay, you choose a day and invite a few folks to help." Xu Qing moved to the warm hall and sat down. Now he feels tired when he moves, and his hands and feet are beginning to swell.

Li Changfeng gently placed Xu Qing's leg in his hand and rubbed it slowly. Xu Qing had cramps several times last night.

"That's OK, I'll ask Aunt Xie, Brother Wei, Aunt Wu and Brother Qiu to help, and Xie A."

Xu Qing nodded and agreed, "By the way, after the killing, I have to send some to my brother and Li's yard, as well as Brother Xiaoyu." This pig drank some spirit springs when he was young, and eating it is particularly good for the body. The Li family’s yard must be given, otherwise it won’t stop. Li Xiaoer is still in the town. He visited Xu Qing at home some time ago.

"Okay, don't worry."

Three days later, Xu Qing and his family slaughtered pigs. The two hundred catties of pigs are big in the village. "How do you raise your family! The miscellaneous is so fat!" Wei Lao Er has never seen it grow in famine years. Such a fat pig!

Li Changfeng looked innocent, "No, we eat whatever we eat in those days, how can we lose weight when we are hungry! This is our winter food!"

"Tsk tusk, it seems that your kid is not only a good hand in the Tian family, but also capable of raising livestock. Look at your dog, chicken, donkey, tusk, all of them are not small!" Brother Qiu is one of them. A thin butcher, he doesn't do business like Liu Butcher, but has the skill of killing pigs. When this season comes, he will be asked for help from any pig killer, and by the way, he will give a little red envelope to be auspicious.

Li Changfeng smiled and didn't say much. He buried his head and shaved the pig's hair on the dead piglet. This pig is fat enough, and his wife has meat to eat!

Although there are not many people, the pig fat makes people feel good. The pigs are packed out in a lively afternoon. In the evening, the big guys drank a few more glasses together. After eating a pig banquet, they were happy. Xing left.

After everyone was gone, Li Changfeng and Xu Qing also cleaned up and lay down on the warm bed to rest. "Everyone today said that our fire wall and fire pit are good. If you say this, we still follow Li Zheng Talk about it?"

Li Changfeng rubbed Xu Qing's hair and thought about it after hearing the words, "Let’s talk about it tomorrow morning." Anyway, people know it too. If you don’t say it, maybe Lizheng and the folks think about it. It’s better to go straight. Just say it bluntly and let them have nothing to say.

The next morning, Li Changfeng went to Lizheng and talked about the Kang. After he came back for dinner, he took three pieces of meat to the town’s Lin Fangliang and Li Xiaoge’s house, and then went to the Li’s courtyard and Li’s courtyard during this period of time. It was still calm, and I was happy to see Li Changfeng sending the meat back. Their pigs were too thin, and they were a little reluctant to kill.

When they returned home, Xu Qing and Li Changfeng boiled the lard and put them away, leaving only a few pieces of meat for air-drying. The rest is used to make bacon. It is much more convenient for the farmer to make bacon, and it only takes a few days to cook. The meat is marinated over the fire. When the time comes, take it down and wrap it with things and put it in the storeroom. There will be meat to eat in spring.

The people in the village all envied Xu Qing’s family for having big fat pigs to eat and a house for heating. However, after a meeting in Lizheng, they explained how to build this greenhouse. They also said that Xu Qing and the others heard it from other places. The people in the village had a very kind attitude towards Xu Qing and them. This winter can be warm. That is to save the elderly and children. In previous years, children and elderly people would leave because they couldn't survive the winter.

Xu Qing didn't have the time to pay attention to the outside sounds, and the child came out in one and a half months, and during this one and a half months Xu Qing was very irritable. He often had nightmares in the middle of the night, fearing that he would not be able to give birth, or that he would have a difficult childbirth, or He gave birth to a little monster. After more than a dozen days, Xu Qing's spirit was haggard, and Li Changfeng was even more haggard.

Xie Ama taught Xu Qing quietly when he knew it. Li Changfeng didn’t know what Xie Ama said to Xu Qing. Since that day, Xu Qing has eaten and drank well, and nothing happened at night. No more nightmares.

One night after a month and a half, Xu Qing felt her stomach swelling and painful and uncomfortable, sitting uncomfortable, lying uncomfortable, slowly sweating on his forehead, Li Changfeng felt that something was wrong, and did not dare to leave immediately. Can comfort Xu Qing, but Xu Qing's stomach pain is getting worse and worse, and he still feels a faint feeling of falling in his stomach. Thinking of what Xie Ama said, Xu Qing hurriedly asked Li Changfeng to find Xie A.

"I, I may be giving birth, go find Xie A." Xu Qing can't talk about the pain at the moment, mother egg, it's really a thankless job to have a baby!

Li Changfeng didn't even have time to wear his coat, so he ran out of the room barefoot.

"Why are you! Why don't you wear clothes and shoes! It hurts!"

Xu Qing saw that idiot just jumped out like this, and there was so much snow outside, and he didn't know if Li Changfeng would catch a cold!

Xie Ama and Uncle Xie are sleeping soundly. It's good if there is a fire on the bed. Even if you put on a quilt at night, you don't feel cold.

"Papa! Papa! Papa!"

A huge knock on the door came from the entrance of the courtyard, which made Ama Xie and Uncle Xie woke up cleverly.

Then listen to the eager cry that came, "Thank you! My daughter-in-law is about to give birth! Me! My daughter-in-law is about to give birth! Thank you!"

Xie Ama turned over and got up quickly, "Hurry up! Brother Qing must have had an attack!" Uncle Xie didn't linger, put on his clothes in a couple of strokes, followed Xie Ama with something and went out.

"You guys are really good!"

As soon as Uncle Xie opened the courtyard door, he saw Li Changfeng wearing a shirt, without shoes on his feet, just stepping barely in the snow.

"Chang Feng! Why don't you wear clothes or shoes! Be careful of cold!"

Xie Ama said worriedly, but Li Changfeng didn't know how warm or cold he was. He was both happy and flustered, "Xie Ama, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth!"

"Know! Let's go! Look at you in a hurry, how come you ran out without wearing any clothes or shoes!"

Thinking that Xu Qing’s birth husband was staying at home alone, everyone didn’t care about holding umbrellas, braving the heavy snow in the night, and hurried to Xu Qing’s house.

"You go to boil the hot water, I'll look at Brother Qing, Changfeng, don't come in if you don't see you!" Xie Ama told Uncle Xie and Changfeng Li before taking the things they brought into the room.

Xu Qing can’t call out the pain at the moment. This woman gave birth to a stomachache. The lower part of the uterus was opened, but the brothers here gave birth to a red line in the lower abdomen. The worse the pain, the red line. The redder, the redder, it means that the child is coming out soon.

"Let's bear it, this red belly is not yet time, I'll let Changfeng cook something for you, you eat first." Xie Ama carefully checked the belly line several times, and estimated the time. It's still early, I want Xu Qing to eat something, otherwise I won't have the energy later.

Where did Xu Qing know this? He only knew that he didn't want to drink the water he hurts, how could he still eat something!

"I don't want to eat..."

Xu Qing hugged his belly with both hands and hummed feebly. Xie Ama laughed and said, "What do you do if you don't eat, and be careful that you have no strength later." Then he opened the door and called Li Changfeng, "Go to your daughter-in-law. Come over and cook something, let him eat some first, preferably sugar and eggs."

Xie Ama knew that Xu Qing's family was still in good condition. There must be some eggs, so he was not polite, and asked Li Changfeng to cook them swiftly.

Soon after, Uncle Xie brought hot water to the door of the room again, Xie Amote came in, wetted with the kerchief, and put Xu Qing on the line of his belly while the kerchief was hot. Xu Qing didn't feel the heat and pain, but felt that the feeling of stomach pain before was much reduced.

"Don't move, just lay it down like this," Xie Ama stopped Xu Qing from trying to twist his body, "Thank you! The egg is ready!" Li Changfeng's call came from outside the door, Xie Ama quickly responded. Opened the door and took the bowl. "How is my wife?" Li Changfeng held his head and looked into the room. He didn't see any big movement, so he asked Xie A.

"It's fine, but you still go to clean up a room and come out. After giving birth, you will give Brother Qing a hug." Xie Ama thought of this and told Li Changfeng.

Li Changfeng nodded quickly, turned around and went to work. Xie Ama closed the door and sat next to Xu Qing to feed Xu Qing. Xu Qing had no appetite at first, but when this thing was brought to his lips, it really didn’t matter, Xu I'm really hungry.

There were six eggs in the bowl, and Xu Qing was full after eating four. "No more, I can't eat so much." Xu Qing refused Xie Ama's feeding. He really couldn't eat it anymore.

"Okay, don't force you, you take a rest first, I guess this is one hour before the child will be born." Xie Ama wiped the sweat from Xu Qing's forehead with a handkerchief, and opened the bowl aside. Sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for Xu Qing to have a seizure.

Xu Qing was originally nervous, but when this day really came, Xu Qing really didn't know why, this heart calmed down, and there must be this day sooner or later.
