The north wind whistled, and there was heavy snow like goose feathers in the sky.
The old lady of the Li family sat at the stove, filling the stove with firewood and smoking a cigarette bag, her face showing a bit of sadness.
Suddenly, the cotton door curtain was lifted, and Li Mingnan, Li Mingnan and Li Mingbei came in from outside, bringing in the cold wind and flakes of snow.

As soon as he saw the old lady sitting in the kitchen, Li Mingbei shouted before he took off his thick gloves: “Mother, my brother and I caught two fish.”As soon as the voice fell, the little old lady stood up from the stove pit, raised her legs and knocked the cigarette bag and pot against the sole of the shoe, and said with a cracked mouth, “Really? Hurry up and show it to me.
, I haven't seen any fish for a long time.”Li Mingnan handed the two two-pound carp strung with twine to Mrs.
Li, picked up the water scoop, scooped half a spoon of cold water from the water tank, and drank it.”Just this summer, I haven't caught such a big fish.” Madam Li looked at the two fish in her hands to and fro, her lips barely closing when she smiled: “It just so happens that your mother is about to give birth, you Big brother is also tired of reading, so I stewed the fish to make up for them.”Li Mingbei hummed and asked again, “Can my mother give birth to a sister for us this time?”Thinking of her grandchildren, Mrs.
Li was also a little worried, and sighed: “I hope to have a girl, I'm upset when I look at you stinky boys who can eat poor old men.”Li Mingbei laughed and asked Li Mingnan to squat in front of the stove to cook the fire together.
Suddenly, the two boys wrinkled their noses, looked at each other, grabbed the hook of the stove on the ground, and with a few strokes, they dug out two roasted and fragrant potatoes from the stove.
Regardless of the heat, the two of them hurriedly picked up the potatoes and put them on the stove.When Mrs.
Li turned around, she saw that the two baked potatoes had been half eaten by her grandson.
If it was usual, she would have scolded a few words, but today her grandson has caught two big fish, and she no longer feels distressed.
Instead, she laughed and scolded: “Like what it looks like, go to the West Room to eat, and ask Osmanthus to come out to stew the fish.”The two boys responded, and while holding the still-hot potatoes with their hands, they shouted at the top of their voices, “Sister-in-law, the milk asked you to come out to cook.”A girl with shiny black braids walked out of the Westinghouse.
Her face was full of vigor at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
She washed her hands with water and asked, “Mother, what are you doing tonight?”

“Boiled fish! Boiled cabbage and potatoes!” Mrs.
Li said in a loud voice, leaning on a cane.
Although the two boys of the Li family call Osmanthus a sister-in-law, in fact, Wu Guihua has not yet married Li Mingdong, the eldest son of the Li family.
Wu Guihua's family came from a landlord, and because of the poor composition, life was very sad.
When Osmanthus was seven or eight years old, the family really couldn't get enough to eat, so I thought about selling the big girl Osmanthus in exchange for something to eat, but the few who came here were unwilling.
It happened that the old lady of the Li family passed by the Wu family with relatives.
She saw that Osmanthus was good-looking and had a cheerful personality.
The Wu family also knew that the old Li family was kind, so the two discussed it and exchanged half a bag of soybeans for Wu Guihua.
Child brides-in-law.
This sweet-scented osmanthus stayed in the Li family for ten years.
When I first came, I went to school for a few years and recognized a few words.
When I was thirteen or four years old, I stopped reading it and helped to cook, wash and clean up.

Mrs.
Li sat on the small stool in the kitchen, watching Osmanthus swiftly kill the fish and remove the scales, and then poured a little oil into the pot, she got up satisfied and said: “The stew is more fragrant, Dongzi.
But there are times when I don't eat meaty fish.” Osmanthus responded crisply, flung the long braids behind her, and cut potatoes with her hands and feet nimbly.
At this moment, there was a sudden cry of pain from the east room, and Mrs.
Li forgot to take the walking stick.
She ran to the east room in three steps and two steps, and asked anxiously, “Dongzi, mother, is it? Isn't it activated?” “It's been in pain for a while, and I guess it's going to be born soon.” In the room, Wang Sufen endured the pain, grabbing the mattress under her body and adjusting her breathing.
“Oh, I have to endure this, why didn't I tell you earlier?” Mrs.
Li took a look and immediately shouted, “Mingbei, hurry up and find your third aunt to help.”Li Mingbei grabbed the leather hat and buckled it on his head, wrapped his coat and rushed out.
Osmanthus in the kitchen heard the movement, quickly boiled a pot of water, and brought all the prepared things into the room.
Beicha District is a small town surrounded by mountains.
Although Li's family is in a town, the population here is sparse, so they don't live close to each other.
Fortunately, Li Mingbei had neat legs, and he ran to his third aunt's house without much effort.
Mrs.
Li's third daughter-in-law, Liu Xiulan, was cooking corn gooey when she suddenly heard a dog barking in the distance.
She stood up, poured the chopped kohlrabi into the gooey and stirred it, calling his son: ” Photon, see if your second uncle's elder brother is here.” Li Mingguang opened the door and took a look, just when he saw Li Mingbei pushing open the door of his house, he quickly turned around and said, “Mom, my brother Beizi is here.”

“It must be your second aunt who is about to give birth.” Liu Xiulan wiped her hands on her clothes and turned to call his eldest son: “Mingrong, come and watch the pot, I'll go to your nanny's house.” She said in a hurry Follow Ming Bei.
Mrs.
Li's second daughter-in-law, Wang Sufen, has already given birth to four children, so although she is older now, the birth canal is opening quickly.
After washing her hands hastily, Liu Xiulan came over and touched Wang Sufen's belly, and said to Mrs.
Li, “Mother, take a break, I am here.” Mrs.
Li took advantage of the situation to sit on the kang, made room for the third daughter-in-law, wiped the sweat on her forehead and said, “When you are old, you will not be able to exert yourself.
When your second sister-in-law gave birth to Beizi, I was the one who delivered the birth.
