Chapter 6 Xiao Xiao

Country people play suona to pick up their daughter-in-law, and it is a daily thing in December. Behind the suona is a sedan chair, which is carried by four servants smoothly.The people in the sedan chair were locked inside by copper locks. Although they were wearing decent red and green clothes that they usually don't wear, they still made He He cry loudly.In the minds of these little women, being a bride, leaving her mother, and preparing to be someone else's mother, there are many new things waiting to happen.It was like a dream, sleeping in the same bed with a strange man, and doing the things of inheriting the ancestors. Thinking of these things, of course I was a little scared, so I felt like crying as usual, so I cried.

There are also people who don't cry when they are daughters-in-law.Xiao Xiao doesn't cry when she is a daughter-in-law.This little girl has no mother, and was fostered by her uncle's farming village since she was a child. When she gets married, she just transfers from one family to another.So on that day the little woman just laughed.She is neither shy nor afraid, and she doesn't know what's going on, so she becomes someone's daughter-in-law. Xiao Xiao was twelve years old when she became a daughter-in-law and had a young husband who was less than three years old.Her husband is nine years younger than her and has not been weaned for long.The local rules are like this, after passing through the door, she calls him her younger brother.What she should do every day is to take her younger brother to the willow tree in front of the village to play, to play by the stream, to feed him when he is hungry, to coax him when he is crying, to pick pumpkin flowers or foxtails to put on the little husband's head, or to kiss him. , while saying, "Brother, here, come again." Kissing and kissing that dirty little face, the child then laughed.

Once the child was happy and excited, his actions became rough, and he would randomly scratch Xiao Xiao's hair with his short hands.It was the yellow hair that was fluffy and fluffy on his head that he couldn't usually clean up.Sometimes, the little braid that hangs down the back of the head is pulled for too long, and the red wool knot is loosened, and when she gets angry, she will slap the younger brother, and the younger brother will naturally cry aloud, and Xiao Xiao will also pretend to cry He pointed to his younger brother's crying face and said, "Oh, people are unreasonable, that's not right!"

I hang around on sunny and rainy days, hugging my husband every day, and helping the family with chores, doing what I can.I often go to the creek to wash clothes and rub diapers, and at the same time, I pick up patterned snails for my husband who sits next to me to play.When I go to sleep at night, I often have dreams like those of people of this age. I dream of picking up a lot of copper coins in the corner of the back door or other places, eating good food, climbing trees, and turning into fish to slip around in the water.Or for a while, it seems that the body is very small and light, flying to the sky among the stars, there is no one, just a piece of white, a piece of golden light, so they shout "Mom!" People wake up in fright.When I woke up my heart was still beating.After quarreling with the people next door, she couldn't help cursing, "Crazy, what are you thinking! Play crazy during the day, and dream at night!" Xiao Xiao listened but didn't make a sound, just cooed and laughed.There are also very good and refreshing dreams, and I wake up crying for my husband.The husband used to sleep next to his mother at night, sometimes he ate too much, or because of other circumstances, he would cry loudly in the middle of the night, and it was not uncommon for him to get up and have diarrhea.Her husband cried until her mother-in-law was helpless, so Xiao Xiao got up lightly, walked to the bed with sleepy eyes, picked him up, and showed him the moon and stars.Or look at each other, childishly "Hey, look at the cat," yelling and coaxing, so the husband laughed, played for a while, and slowly closed his eyes.The person fell asleep, put it on the bed, stood by the bed and watched, heard the cock crowing in the distance, and knew when the sky was coming, so he still curled up on the small bed and fell asleep.At dawn, although you don't dream, you can inadvertently close your eyes and open them, watching the yellow-edged purple-heart sunflowers changing in the air in front of you for a while, that is a real enjoyment.

Xiao Xiao has married through the family and has become the daughter-in-law of a powerful man. Everything is no more difficult than before. This can be understood only by looking at her physical development in the past six months.Live in the wind and rain, like a castor plant that grows unnoticed in the corner of the garden, with big leaves and big branches, growing lush day by day.This little woman is not what her husband imagined, and she grows up day by day. The summer night scene is like a dream.After dinner, everyone sat in the center of the courtyard to cool off, waved cattail fans, looked at the stars in the sky and the fireflies in the corner of the room, and listened to the clucking and clucking sounds of the weaving lady on the pumpkin shed spinning her spinning wheel. It is time for people to tell jokes in various conveniences.

Xiao Xiao is so tall, she often climbs to the haystack by herself, hugs her sleeping husband in her arms, and sings the folk songs that she made up herself softly, but she hypnotizes herself, almost went to sleep. In the courtyard dam, the father-in-law, mother-in-law, grandparents, and two helpers sat scatteredly on the small benches, setting up a dragon gate to learn from ancient times, and took turns going down to pass the middle of the night. There was a cigarette pack next to my grandfather, which glowed in the dark.This cigarette bag made of mugwort is a powerful tool for repelling long-legged mosquitoes. It curled up at my grandfather's feet like a black-headed snake.Occasionally pick it up and shake it a few times.

Thinking of what happened on the field during the day, the grandfather spoke: "I heard from Sanjin that another female student passed away the day before yesterday." Everyone laughed. What is the point of this laugh?It's just because everyone knows that female students don't have braids and leave a quail tail, which looks like a nun, but not exactly.The clothes I wear are like foreigners but not like foreigners, what I eat, what I use... In short, everything is different, and I feel ridiculous when I think about it! Xiao Xiao didn't quite understand, she didn't smile.So the old grandfather spoke again.He said: "Xiao Xiao, when you grow up, you will be a female student in the future!"

Everyone laughed even more. Xiao Xiao is not stupid, he felt that this must be something that is not good for him, so he said: "Grandpa, I will not be a female student!" "You look like a schoolgirl, you can't do it." "I will not do it." Everyone intentionally made fun of it, and said in unison: "Xiao Xiao, grandpa is right, you must be a female student!" Xiao Xiao was helplessly anxious, "Just do it, I'm not afraid." In fact, Xiao Xiao didn't know what's wrong with being a female student. The thing about female students is indeed always an anecdote in this hometown.Every year from June to June, it is said that when the "water holiday" comes, as usual, three, three, five, five female students come from a ridiculous and lively place to another distant place, passing through the local area.From the eyes of the country people, these people are close to people who lived in another world, with strange costumes and even more unbelievable behaviors.When this kind of female student passes away, the whole village can tell jokes all day long.

The grandfather is a local figure, and because he remembered what he knew about the life of female students in the big city, he joked that Xiao Xiao should also become a female student.On the one hand, I felt a kind of fun when I heard this, and on the other hand, Xiao Xiao, who was said, felt a kind of panic. It is not meaningless to say this. What the female students know from their grandfather is that they wear clothes regardless of the weather, eat regardless of whether they are hungry or full, go to bed at night when their children are due, and do nothing serious during the day. Book.They all spend money, which can buy sixteen buffaloes a year.When they want to go somewhere in the provincial capital, they don't have to walk, they just need to get into a big box, and that box can take her there.They are in school, and men and women go to class together. When they get acquainted, they can sleep with that man at will, without a matchmaker or a gift. This is called "freedom".They also serve as state and county magistrates and take their families to office. Men are still called masters, and children are called young masters.

They don't feed cows themselves, but eat cow's and goat's milk, like calves and lambs: when they buy that milk, they are served in tin cans.When they had nothing to do, they went to an opera place, which looked like a big temple. They took a dollar of foreign money from their pockets (that foreign money could buy five hens in the countryside), bought a small square of paper, and took the Put the pieces of paper inside, and you can sit and watch foreigners perform shadow plays.When they are wronged, they don't swear or cry.Some of them are as old as twenty-four years old and still refuse to marry, and some are as old as thirty-forty years old and still have the nerve to marry.They are not afraid of men, men can't make them wronged, once wronged, they will go to the yamen to sue, and ask the officials to fine men's money, which she sometimes spends exclusively for herself, and sometimes shared equally with the officials.They don't wash or cook, nor raise pigs and feed chickens; they only spend five or ten yuan a month when they have children, and hire someone to take care of the children, while they still watch theaters, play cards, and read useless idle books all day long. ... All in all, everything is strange and weird, different from the peasants, and some of them can be said to be unreasonable.At this moment, as explained by my grandfather, Xiao Xiao, who had heard this, suddenly had a vague wish in her heart, thinking that if she was also a female student, would she do those things like the female student her grandfather said? thing?

No matter how good or bad it is, being a female student is not scary, so I have already felt it for this country girl. Because after listening to his grandfather talk about what kind of character a female student is, Xiao Xiao laughed alone for a long time.When she had laughed enough, she said: "Grandfather, there will be a female student passing by tomorrow, you call me, I want to see." "Look, they took you to be a girl." "I'm not afraid of them." "Aren't you afraid of them reading foreign books and reciting scriptures?" "I am not afraid of reciting the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Sutra for Dispelling Misfortunes and reciting the mantra." "They bite people, just like officials. They only eat country people. They eat people's bones and don't spit them out. Aren't you afraid?" Xiao Xiao replied affirmatively, "I'm not afraid either." But at this time, the husband in Xiaoxiao's arms, for some reason, was crying in his sleep, so the daughter-in-law used her mother's voice, half-coaxing and half-threatening, "Brother, brother, don't cry, don't cry, the schoolgirl bites me gone." The husband is still crying and has to be picked up and walked around.Xiao Xiao left her grandfather with her husband in her arms, and his grandfather told someone another old story. From then on, Xiao Xiao had a "female student" in her heart.In my dreams, I often dream of female students, and dream of walking side by side with these people.It seemed that she had also sat in a box that could walk by herself, and she felt that this box was no faster than herself.In the dream, the shape of the box was similar to that of a barn. Inside was a small gray mouse with red eyes, running around, sometimes sneaking into the crack of the door, with a small tail sticking out. Because of such a passage, my grandfather called Xiao Xiao instead of "little girl" or "Xiao Xiao", but "girl student".Inadvertently, Xiao Xiao promised very well. Life in the country is also like life in the world, which is different from time to time.People in the world waste their days, just like people like Xiao Xiao who cherish their days, everyone has their own gains and their own destiny.Civilized people in many cities spend a summer in soft silk clothes, fine drinks, and all kinds of good things.Xiao Xiao's family, because of a summer's work, got more than ten catties of flax and twenty or thirty dan of melons. Xiao Xiao, the youngest daughter-in-law, took care of her husband and harvested four catties of flax in one summer.In autumn and August, workers pick melons and play among the melons. It is very interesting to see the big pumpkins, which are as big as pots and covered with ash powder, placed in rows and piles on the ground.When it's time to pick melons, autumn has really come, and there are bright red and rhubarb leaves blowing from the trees in the woods behind the house everywhere in the yard.Xiao Xiao stood beside the melon, holding a bunch of leaves in her hand, making a small hat for her husband to play with. Among the workers was Huagou, who was twenty-three years old, and took Xiao Xiao's husband to the jujube tree to beat dates.The small bamboo pole hit the jujube tree, and the jujube fell all over the ground. "The flower dog is big, don't hit it, there are too many to eat." Even though he heard this shout, he still didn't stop.In the end, it seemed that Huagou was disobedient entirely because her husband wanted dates.So Xiao Xiao called his little husband again: "Brother, brother, come on, don't pick it up. If you eat too much raw stuff, your stomach hurts!" The husband was obedient, walked towards Xiao Xiao with a bunch of dates, and asked Xiao Xiao to eat dates. "Sister eats, this is big." "I will not eat." "I want to eat one!" How could she have free hands!The wooden leaf hat is being edged, and time is tight, and I need personal help! "Brother, feed the dates into my mouth." The husband followed her orders, and when he finished, he found it funny and laughed. She asked him to put down the dates and help pinch the brim of the hat so that new leaves could be added. The husband did what she told her to do, but he was always wriggling playfully and singing in his mouth.The child turned out to be like a cat, which made trouble when it pleased. "Brother, what are you singing?" "I sang the folk song Huagou denounced me." "Sing a good song for me." The husband then sang on, singing as he remembered: Clouds and flowers bloom in the sky, Bean pods grow in the valley forest, The pods entangle the corn-tree, The charming younger sister pestered the younger generation's family. The sky is full of clouds, Buried graves buried graves, Jiaomei washes heavy dishes, Jiaomei's bed is full of people. My husband didn't understand the meaning of the song, so he asked if he was okay after singing.Xiao Xiao said yes, and asked who he learned from.She knew that Huagou taught him, but she deliberately questioned him. "Huagou told me that there are still good songs, and he will teach me to sing when I grow up." Hearing that Huagou can sing, Xiao Xiao said: "Huagou is big, Huagou is big, I'll listen to you sing a nice song." That flower dog, with his heart-like face, was not very upright, and knew that Xiao Xiao wanted to listen to songs, and he was almost old enough to listen to songs, so he sang "Ten-year-old lady and one-year-old husband" to her.The story is about the wife who is old enough to go outside to do some unruly things, and the husband who is young and only knows how to nurse and let him nurse.My husband doesn't understand this song at all, and it's Xiao Xiao who understands a little bit.After listening to the song, Xiao Xiao put on an air of "I understand everything", and said to Huagou with an angry look: "Huagou is big, this is not good, this is a curse song!" Huagou argued, "It's not a curse song." "I understand, it's a curse song." It is rare for Huagou to talk too much. The song has already been sung.Seeing that she was already a little sensible, he was afraid that she would be scolded if she turned around and sued her grandfather, so he diverted the conversation and talked about "female students".He asked Xiao Xiao if he had seen female students practicing gymnastics and singing foreign songs. If Huagou hadn't mentioned it, Xiao Xiao would have almost forgotten about it.At this time, female students were mentioned again, and she asked Huagou if there were any female students passing by recently, and she wanted to see. Huagou hugged the pumpkin from the side of the scaffold to the corner, and told her about the female students singing, and the source of these things was Xiao Xiao's grandfather.He said something big in front of Xiao Xiao, saying that he once saw four female students on the official road, they all held flags, and they still sang while sweating and panting after walking a long way, exactly the same as the soldiers sang.Needless to say, this is of course a complete nonsense joke.But that story spoiled Xiao Xiao's joy.Because Huagou said this is called "freedom". Huagou is a talking and laughing person who "raises his eyes and moves his eyebrows, and raises his head at every turn". Hearing Xiao Xiao say in an envious tone, "Huagou is big, you have really big arms." He said, "I am more than just big arms." "You're also big." "I'm big everywhere." After Xiao Xiao hugged her husband and walked away, Hua Gou picked melons together, and named him Dumb, and said, "Hua Gou, don't be so bad. He is thirteen Year-old Huanghua girl, you have to wait ten years to consummate the house!" Huagou kept silent, slapped the guy, and went to pick up the ground dates under the jujube tree. When it came to the autumn of picking melons, counting the days, Xiao Xiao had been at her husband's house for a year. Frost and snow fell a few times, and it rained a few times during the Qingming Festival. The whole family said that Xiao Xiao was an adult.God bless, drink cold water, eat rough rice, no disease in four seasons, but it grows so fast.Although the mother-in-law was born like a pair of scissors, she cut off all the opportunities for Xiao Xiao to grow up, but the sun and air in the countryside help people grow up, but it is not torture that can stop them. The heart is still a confused heart. The older you get, the more things you can do at home.In addition to hemp, spinning, laundry, and taking care of her husband, she also had to do other things such as threshing pigweed and milling, as well as sizing and weaving.If you learn everything, you will learn it.It is a custom in the countryside that anyone who has spare capacity can save some private houses from work. In the past two or three years, the coarse and fine linen and spun cotton yarn gathered by Xiao Xiao alone is enough for Xiao Xiao to sit on the soil machine and throw the shuttle for three months. . Husband was weaned early.The mother-in-law has a new son, and the five-year-old son seems to belong to Xiao Xiao alone.No matter what she does or wherever she goes, her husband always follows her. My husband is afraid of her in some ways, and treats her like a mother, so he dares not be troublesome.The two of them "haven't had a bad relationship." As the place progressed a little, the grandfather's jokes turned to things like "Xiao Xiao, you can also cut off your braids so you can be free".Xiao Xiao, who heard this, once saw a female student one summer, and although she didn't take her grandfather's joke seriously, every time after her grandfather said this joke, she would hold the ends of her braids with her hands when she went to the water's edge, imagining Without the air of a man with braids, that little bit of fun. Because of hunting pigweed, it is common to take my husband to the shade of Luosi Mountain. Children don't know what to do, and they sing when they hear others sing.As soon as he sang, the flower dog was attracted. Huagou has a different kind of heart towards Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao understands a little bit, and often feels anxious and uneasy.But Huagou is a man, all the virtues and vices of men are not lacking, the labor force is strong, the hands and feet are diligent, and he can play and talk, so on the one hand, Xiao Xiao's husband is very happy to play with him, and on the other hand, he hangs around Xiao Xiao whenever he has the opportunity. And always trying to find ways to reduce Xiao Xiao's panic. The mountains are big and the people are small, and the trees are covered with velvet. Usually, they don't know where Xiao Xiao is, so the flower dog stands on a high place and sings to tease Xiao Xiao's husband; Seeing the flower dog, the children can only be happy and don't know anything else.He originally wanted Huagou to weave grass insects for him and make a bamboo flute for him to play with. Huagou managed to send him to a distant place to find materials, so he sat next to Xiao Xiao and asked Xiao Xiao to listen to him sing the song that makes people blush. .Sometimes she felt scared and refused to let her husband go away; sometimes she seemed to have a flower dog by her side, and it was better to send her husband away.Finally one day, Xiao Xiao sang his heart out to Huagou like this, and became a woman. At that time, my husband went to the foot of the mountain to pick berries. Huagou sang many songs, but at the end he sang to Xiao Xiao: There is a steep slope in front of Jiaojia's house. Others walk more than others, and the iron straw sandals are worn out. It's not for you. for which? In the end, he said to Xiao Xiao: "I can't sleep because of you."He added that he swore not to tell anyone about it.After hearing these words, Xiao Xiao still didn't understand anything, his eyes only focused on his pair of thick arms, and his ears only focused on his last words. In the end Huagou defecated and sang to her.She was upset.She wanted him to seriously swear to the sky, and after swearing, everything seemed to be guaranteed, and she would do everything for him.When her husband turned back, his hand was stung by a caterpillar, and his hand was swollen. He walked to Xiao Xiao's side.Xiao Xiao squeezed this little hand tightly, and licked and sucked it with her mouth. Thinking of the ignorance just now, she seemed to understand that she had done a little ignorant thing. Huagou lures her to do bad things because Maihuang is in April, and in June, the plums are ripe, and she likes to eat raw plums.She felt that her body was a bit special. When she met Huagou on the mountain, she told him about it and asked him what to do. After discussing for a long time, Huagou had no idea.Even though I gambled a lot that day, I still have no idea.This guy is big, and if he is bold, he is easy to do wrong things, but if he is small, he can't think of a way to do wrong things. When she arrived, Xiao Xiao pinched her big black-snake-like braid and thought of the city, she said: "Huagouda, let's go to the city to be free and help people live, isn't it good?" "How can I do that? What are you going to do in the city?" "I have a big belly." "Let's go find medicine. There is a doctor selling medicine on the field." "Hurry up and get some medicine, I think..." "You want to escape to the city to be free, it's impossible. You don't know people well, and there are rules for begging, so you can't be casual!" "You have no conscience, you hurt me, I want to die!" "I swear I will live up to you." "What's the use of being responsible to me? Do me a favor, quickly take this piece of meat in my stomach. I'm afraid!" Huagou didn't make a sound, and after a while, he walked away.Soon after her husband came back from his place, he saw Xiao Xiao sitting on the grass crying alone, his eyes were red.The husband was puzzled, looked at it for a while, and asked Xiao Xiao: "Sister, why are you crying?" "No reason, the dust fell into the eyes, it hurts." "Let me blow it." "Don't blow." "Look at me, I got these and these." He displayed the clams and rocks he picked up from the stream in front of Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao looked at them for a while with tears in his eyes, then forced a smile and said, "Brother, we are close, don't sue your family if I cry. You will be angry if you sue me. "After that, no one in the family really knew about it. After half a month, Huagou left without saying goodbye, taking all his clothes and pants.The grandfather asked the mute who lived with him if he knew why he was walking and where he was going.The mute just shook his head, saying that Huagou still owed him two hundred dollars, and he didn't say a word when he left, so he has no conscience.The mute spoke his own words, but did not explain why Huagou left.So this family wondered and talked all day long.But the workman neither stole anything nor took anything else, and he was naturally forgotten soon after the incident. Xiao Xiao is still Xiao Xiao in the past.It would be nice if she could forget about Huagou.But the stomach is really different. The things in the stomach are always moving, which makes her often worry alone and have strange dreams. She was a little bad-tempered, a bad thing that only her husband knew, because she seemed a little harsher to him. She was still with her husband every day, and she didn't quite understand what was going on in her heart or thinking.She often thinks, now that I am dead, everything will be fine.But why die?She is still happy to live and wants to live. No matter who in the family inadvertently mentions the words about her husband and younger brother, the children, or the pet dog, it is like a fist, hitting Xiao Xiao's chest hard. In August, she was worried that people would know more, so she led her husband to play in the temple, so she made a private wish and ate a lot of incense ash.Eating incense ash was seen by her husband, who asked what it was for, Xiao Xiao said that her stomach hurts and she should eat this.Although she asked the Bodhisattva to make a wish, of course the Bodhisattva did not live up to her wish, and the things growing in her belly were still growing slowly. She often went to the stream to drink cold water, and when her husband saw her, she said she was thirsty when he asked her. one All the methods she thought of could not separate her from what she didn't like.Only the husband knew about the pregnancy, but he dared not tell his parents about it.Because of the long time and different ages, the husband sometimes has a deeper fear of Xiao Xiao than his parents. She still remembered the day Huagou swore, as if she remembered anything else.In autumn, the caterpillars in front of and behind the house cocooned and turned into various beautiful moths. As if deliberately torturing her, her husband often brought up the old story of being stung by caterpillars a few months ago, which made Xiao Xiao feel sad.Because of this, she hated the caterpillar very much. When she saw the caterpillar, she wanted to kick it with her feet. One day, someone said that there were many female students passing by. After hearing this, Xiao Xiao opened his eyes and had a dream for a while, and was dazed for a long time about the source of the sun. Xiao Xiao followed in the footsteps of a flower dog, and also wanted to escape, so he packed up his things and prepared to follow the female student on the road to the city.But before he left, he was discovered by his family. The family traced the root cause of the escape, only to realize that Xiao Xiao's belly, who was going to give birth to a son for her little husband ten years later, had already been planted by others.It's a really big deal.The peaceful life of the family was completely messed up by this incident.Angry angry, weeping tears, swearing swearing, everyone messed up according to their duties.Hanging beams, throwing water, taking poison, and Xiao Xiao being imprisoned, all these things have been thought of endlessly. After all, he was too young to bear to die, but he never did it.So my grandfather came up with a clever idea based on reality, locked Xiao Xiao in the room, and sent someone to watch it carefully, and invited people from Xiao Xiao's clan to talk, to see if it was "sinking" or "selling"?Xiao Xiao's family wanted to save face, so they drowned her in the pool, and sold her if they couldn't bear it.Xiao Xiao has only one uncle, who works as a farmer in a nearby farm, when he went to invite him, he thought it was a drink, but when he arrived, he realized that it was such a shameful thing, which made this honest and loyal parent at a loss. With a big belly to testify, there is nothing to say.Uncle couldn't bear to sink Xiao Xiao into the pool, so of course Xiao Xiao should get married and have a second relationship. This punishment seems to be very natural. According to the custom, it is the husband's family that suffers the loss, but a sum of money can be recovered from the remarriage as compensation for the loss.The uncle told Xiao Xiao about it and was about to walk.Xiao Xiao held on to the corner of her uncle's clothes, just crying faintly.Uncle shook his head for a while, but left without saying a word. For a while, there was no suitable family to ask for Xiao Xiao, so he still lived in her husband's house for the time being.Now that this matter has been clarified, it doesn't seem to matter according to the country's rules, and they are only waiting for punishment, so everyone is relieved.Firstly, the little husband could no longer be with Xiao Xiao, and then it was still the same as a month ago, the siblings were talking and laughing together. The husband knew that Xiao Xiao had a son in his womb, and also knew that because of this, Xiao Xiao should marry far away.But her husband didn't want Xiao Xiao to go, and Xiao Xiao herself didn't want to go, everyone was baffled, but they were forced to do it according to the rules, they had to do it. He was waiting for customers to come to see him, and when December came, no one came, so Xiao Xiao had no choice but to spend the New Year at this man's house. In February of the following year, Xiao Xiao sat on grass in October and gave birth to a son with round head, big eyes and loud voice. Everyone took good care of mother and child, ate steamed chicken and rice wine to replenish blood according to the rules, and burned paper to thank God.The whole family is happy with the son. Since the child she gave birth to is a son, Xiao Xiao will not marry elsewhere. By the time Xiao Xiao officially consummated the house with her husband, his son was already ten years old, able to watch the cows cut grass, and became a member of the family's producers.I usually call Xiao Xiao's husband an uncle, and the uncle agrees, never getting angry. The son's name is Niu'er.Niu'er also got married when he was twelve years old, and his daughter-in-law was six years older.The daughter-in-law is old enough to be a helper in everything and help the family.When the suona blew to the door, the bride was crying in the sedan chair, and the grandfather and great-grandfather were too busy. On this day, Xiao Xiao hugged her newborn Yuemaomao, but watched the fun by the elm hedge in front of the house, just like hugging her husband ten years ago. Winter 1929
