Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family next to her quickly pulled Zixuan aside and said, "Master, you'd better not make any noise and cause trouble. It's not easy for a woman to scream when she gives birth."

Some people have children slowly, and some people have children quickly. Jinghan was impatient, but she didn't expect this child to be even more impatient. He didn't even enter the house for half an hour when he heard a loud voice in the house.

"It's born, it's born, Jinghan is born." Mrs. Xue shouted happily in the room.

Zixuan outside the house breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Jinghan was angry. He didn't care about anything and sat down on the bluestone steps outside the door. He raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It'll be fine once you give birth, it'll be fine after you give birth."

After a while, the door opened and Qian came out, "Zixuan, Jinghan has given birth to a big fat boy. Come in and have a look."

When Zixuan heard this, he quickly stood up and rushed into the house. In the room, there was still the smell of blood after childbirth, and Ruyu and other girls were packing things there. Jinghan was lying on the bed. Jinghan's face was a little pale at the moment, her eyes were closed, and she didn't know if she was asleep.

Mrs. Xue held a small candle bag and said, "Zixuan, come and see the child. He is a white and fat boy." As he said this, he wanted to hand the child to Zixuan.

But Zixuan did not pick up the child, but walked directly to Jinghan, came to the kang, reached out and touched Jinghan's face. "Madam, you have worked hard."

Jinghan didn't fall asleep, she was just tortured by the pain so much that she was closing her eyes to relax. Slowly opening his eyes, he happened to see Zixuan's concerned expression. "Zixuan, I'm fine, just a little tired. Please take a look at the child. Our first child is here." Jinghan was still very happy in her heart.

"Let me take a look at you first." Zixuan smiled softly and held Jinghan's hand.

Mrs. Xue put the child next to Jinghan, "Okay, I'll go see and get you something to eat first. I've never seen you give birth so quickly, and I don't even have time to prepare a stutter." Zixuan , you stay here with the two of them, I will be back in a moment." With that, Mr. Xue went out.

Only then did Zixuan have the intention to look at his son in front of him. The little guy was very white and chubby. I have my eyes closed at the moment, sleeping soundly. "Son, this is my son. Jinghan, I have a son." Zixuan was happy when he thought about it.

Jinghan couldn't help but laugh. Looking at the two men, one big and one small, her heart was filled with happiness. This little thing that is connected to her own flesh and blood is her son who was born only ten months into her pregnancy. Thinking of this, Jinghan's heart softened. "Zixuan, give the child a name."

"Okay, I'll think about it for a while and give the child a nice name. You're tired too, so take a nap. I'll be here with you." Zixuan was worried about Jinghan's health and quickly let Jinghan rest.

Jinghan was indeed tired. She lay on the kang and fell asleep after a while. Zixuan sat next to him, looking at his wife and son sleeping soundly, feeling infinitely satisfied in his heart.

It wasn't until Mr. Xue came back that Zixuan got up and went out. "Mom, you stay here with Jinghan first. I have to send someone back to deliver the letter quickly. If the family knows about it, they will be even happier."

Mrs. Xue waved her hand and told Zixuan to go quickly, "This is a happy event, so go quickly."

Zixuan went out, wrote the letter himself, and then asked someone to go back quickly to report the letter. One of the two boys brought out from home, one named Changxing, had been with Zixuan for the past year and had gained some experience, so Zixuan sent him back. Anfu and the others were busy working outside, and these people who came in later did not know the address of the house.

Not to mention the busy work here to serve Jinghan and the children, Changxing galloped all the way from Zhendong and returned to Songjianghe Town in two and a half days. Since we arrived in town, we naturally went to report the news to the Xu family first. The old man and the old lady of the Xu family were at home. When they heard that Jinghan had given birth to a fat boy, the old lady clapped her hands with joy.

"Okay, great, Jinghan has given birth to a boy. Zisu, hurry up and ask Yongxing to go to the mountain to report the news and tell the elder." The old lady quickly asked the girl to go out to look for someone.

"Changxing, you haven't returned to the village yet, right? In this case, you should go and report the news first. When you are going back to Zhendong, come over again and I will bring something to Jinghan." The old lady also knew that such a happy event must be quickly known to the Lin family.

Changxing nodded, came out of Xu's house, and ran all the way to Lin's house.

Originally, the wife of the Lin Xing family, He, wanted to go to her son's place after planting, but the old man of the Lin family has been sick since the beginning of spring. The old man is the most important person. You can't ignore the old man and go to see your son and daughter-in-law, right? So even though Mr. He thought about it every day, he couldn't do anything about it.

The old man of the Lin family seemed to be getting better these days, and Mrs. He breathed a sigh of relief, but the autumn harvest was coming soon, and the family still couldn't live without people. Raising a family is also very busy. The family has more than 100 acres of land, more than 100 feet of sticks, and a wine shop. These are all things that need to be done to build a family. Fortunately, we hired a few long-term workers in the spring of this year, so we can be better off.

The autumn harvest is coming soon, and Xingjia is at home packing up all the things used for the autumn harvest. It’s time to sharpen the sickle, otherwise it won’t be useful. Xingjia was sharpening his sickle in the yard when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves at the door, and then someone came in from outside. The door of the farmer's house is not closed, and visitors can enter directly.

"Changxing, why are you back? What's going on?" The Xing family asked strangely when they saw Lin Mo.

"Old Master, my wife has given birth to a young son. The Master asked me to come back to report the news." Lin Mo said quickly.

Xingjia's mind couldn't turn around for a moment. What did this old man and his old lady talk about? Oh, by the way, the old man is talking about Zixuan, so the old man is talking about himself. Xingjia patted his forehead and said, "I was stunned when you screamed. It was Jinghan who gave birth to a boy, right?"

Changxing nodded quickly, "Yes, it's a boy."

Xingjia felt happy now. He got up and walked into the house, "Father, mother, Zixuan's wife has given birth to a big fat boy."

Inside the room, the old lady of the Lin family was holding medicine for the old man to drink. The old man suffered a stroke last time, and his body has never been very flexible. He started taking medicine in the spring and is now feeling better. Watching the old man finish drinking the medicine, the old lady took a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "Anyway, you are feeling strong now. The autumn harvest is coming soon, and everyone at home is busy, so just don't worry about anything. Don't worry. As long as you behave well, your children will be lucky, otherwise the boss will suffer, do you hear me?

"Hey, I heard it." The old man smiled and nodded in agreement. He has been doing farm work all his life, and it is impossible for him not to be in a hurry during this busy season. However, the old man also understood that if he became seriously ill again, not only his son, but also his grandson would have to come back, which would really delay things.

While the old couple were talking, they heard Xingjia's shout from outside, "What? Old lady, did I hear wrongly. The boss said that Zixuan's wife has given birth?" The old man thought his ears were not working properly.

"You heard it right, that's what the boss called." The old lady also heard it.

Xingjia came in from outside, "Father, mother, Zixuan sent Changxing back to report the baby. It was said that Jinghan gave birth to a big fat boy." Xingjia grinned.

"Okay, okay, oh, that's great. I've met my great-grandson now. Old lady, did you hear that we have a great-grandson." The old man suddenly became energetic and sat up on his own. "Boss, hurry up and get ready to go to the grave to celebrate. We have to let our ancestors know that our Lin family has a heir." There are rules here. When a family has a baby, you have to go to the grave to announce the good news to your ancestors.

Xingjia nodded and agreed, "Hey, I'll go find the child's mother right away. She has to boil a few red eggs to go to Xi's grave." He went to Yumei's house. The Yumei's child was already seven or eight months old. He I often go there to have a look.

"What are you waiting for? Just a few red eggs. I'll get them. You stay here with your father." The old lady got off the ground and went to the kitchen to boil eggs.

After a while, the eggs were cooked and dyed red. Xingjia took the eggs, bought some burning paper, and went to Nanshan tomb.

Changxing stayed at the Lin family for one night and went back the next day. The Xing family brought a lot of money with them. Originally, I planned to get some things for Zixuan and the others to take back, but the road was too far, and Xue was already there, so there must be no shortage of things. After thinking about it, I thought it would be better to bring some money over there and buy whatever I need. Changxing couldn't refuse, so he had to take the money and leave. Passing by the town, I went to Xu's house again.

Zhixin came back last night, and everyone decided to bring some money after discussion. I have to say that thanks to the two families bringing some money, otherwise, Zixuan and Jinghan would really not have enough money to spend this autumn.

Changxing returned to Zhendong County and handed the money to Zixuan, who sighed. As an official, not only did he not give anything to his family, but he also had to ask his family to send him money, which made Zixuan feel a little uncomfortable. "Well, they say that raising children is for old age. It's good for me. I can't be with my parents, and I have to ask my parents to give me money."

"Master, this is only temporary. When the fabrics in Mrs. Qiu's weaving workshop are sold, we won't have to worry." Changxing comforted Zixuan.

"There is also a winery. The winery also has to press a batch of grain, which all costs money." Zixuan shook his head. With the couple's savings, it is really not easy to do anything. But Changxing is right, these are all temporary. After the cloth is released and the wine is released from the wine shop, it can be opened slowly. Fortunately, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and the supplements and other things that everyone gave before are enough, so that Jinghan will not suffer. As long as you get through this period, things will get better in the future.

Changxing told some more about the situation at home, and Zixuan was relieved to learn that the old man's condition was much better.
