Chapter 1 The old clam grows pearls

 a strange story in Stone Village! The old clam gave birth to pearls!

  The old clam is talking about a family in Shitou Village, whose surname is Gu. Mr. Gu is about fifty-two years old, and Mrs. Gu is also fifty years old. She should be at an age where she should be able to live happily ever after, but her belly won't stop, no! Your Majesty is pregnant again.

  But the Gu family is flourishing, with plenty of boys and girls. He even said with a sad expression that there were too many boys in the family, which was annoying and made a group of young wives without sons red-eyed.

  The old men and women in the village gathered under the old locust tree, and they all stretched their necks to look at the old Gu's house in the west end of the village.

  "Old Slippery, do you think Old Man Gu really has a mother-in-law?"

  Old Slippery didn't know how to answer this. After all, this was not his mother-in-law. Wasn't he just waiting here to look at her? He obviously heard from his husband that he saw Doctor Li hurried to Old Man Gu's house carrying his small basket of medicine, but he didn't see any movement for a long time.

  He shook his head: "Who knows!"

  Old Man Gu didn't say anything, and he couldn't talk nonsense about this.

  "Let me tell you, Mrs. Gu was too busy at home and got sick, so she thought she was pregnant!" A woman who was having trouble with Mrs. Gu curled her lips and said confidently.

  "Old Mrs. Feng, I think you are jealous because Mrs. Gu is so comfortable!"

  "Who says otherwise! Who doesn't know that Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Gu don't deal with each other?"

  Mrs. Feng also looked like one of the best when she was young. Yes, when Mr. Gu settled down in Shitou Village, Mr. Gu was still a loner at that time. He only met the current Mrs. Gu after being introduced by someone. However, Mrs. Feng fell in love with Mr. Gu early on because she was a foreigner and at that time Mr. Gu was also poor, so he immediately gave up his thoughts.

  But after Mr. Gu got married, the days became more and more prosperous. At that time, she felt regretful and her head was hot, so she found a young man from the same village to marry.

  Over the years, the other party has become richer and richer. Their family was getting poorer and poorer, and she really didn't know which god they had offended. She wished that the Gu family was getting poorer and poorer! Work hard!

  Mrs. Feng snorted coldly and kept staring at the door of Gu's house. From a distance, she saw the door open from the inside and two people walking out.

  One was wearing a green gown, with a bamboo medicine basket hanging on his shoulder, and the other was wearing a whitish gray short gown. Although he was older, he was still handsome.

  He curled his lips, everyone in the Gu family was a good person.

  "Come out, come out."

  Everyone saw Mr. Gu personally sending Doctor Barefoot out of the door. After the two exchanged a few words, Doctor Barefoot left. The old man Gu who stayed there looked neither happy nor sad, and for a moment he was stunned. People are a little confused.

  Is this...does it exist or not?

  They saw Mr. Gu walking in the direction of the old locust tree. Everyone took a step back. As soon as they stood up, they saw Mr. Gu approaching.

  "Hey, everyone is here!"

  Yes, yes, everyone is laughing at you!

  Everyone had smiles on their faces, but no one spoke. They were worried that they would be beaten by Mr. Gu if they said something wrong. After all, he really beat them.

  Mr. Gu reached out and touched his beard, and suddenly laughed, causing everyone to almost stumble and fall, fearing that Mr. Gu would suddenly go crazy.

  "Everyone, my wife is happy. The farming will be busy in a few days. My old lady is happy. Please pay attention when you pass by my house. Pay attention!"

  After saying this, he walked away without waiting for anyone's reaction. Went back.

  Everyone stood there dumbfounded. They came to see your joke, not to be threatened by you! Who doesn't know that your doorstep is the place you must pass by!

  etc!

  Is Mrs. Gu happy? The old clam gave birth to pearls? This is a strange news!

  The news that Mrs. Gu was pregnant suddenly swept the entire Stone Village. Everyone from the eighty-year-old to the two or three-year-old knew that Mrs. Gu was pregnant.

  Some said congratulations, some were not optimistic, and there were different opinions for a while.

  Gu family.

  Mr. Gu called his married daughter back. The whole family was sitting in the main room. The atmosphere was a bit solemn. Mr. Gu patted the table.     "Quiet!"

  The already extremely silent main room became even quieter.

  Old Mrs. Gu patted Mr. Gu's sleeve and told him to keep quiet and stop making all these noises. What if she scared her girl?

  She touched her smooth belly and imagined that there was a girl inside.

  Mr. Gu sneered and reached out to touch Mrs. Gu's smooth belly. When he turned to look at everyone, there was a serious look on his face.

  "You must also know that your mother is pregnant now. She will do things lightly in the future. Your mother will still be in charge of the money at home. The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law will just worry about you two. You will do the housework and use the money. Looking for your mother."

  Mr. Gu looked at his only married daughter: "Sister Ying, although you are a married girl, you should not care about your mother's family affairs, but doesn't your mother have special circumstances? Later, you and your son-in-law Tell me, it's going to be a busy time at the farm. Go home a few times to stay with your mother, and you won't have to come over again after the busy time."

  If it wasn't a busy time at the farm, he wouldn't have had to ask his daughter to accompany his wife.

  Gu Ying nodded and said, "Dad, I understand." Her husband's family also has a large population, and she is not needed during the busy farming season every year, so she can come back to accompany her mother.

  Mr. Gu nodded with satisfaction, and gave instructions to his naughty grandchildren with a serious look on his face before leaving.

  During the few months that Mrs. Gu was raising her baby, the Gu family was in a state of trepidation and made a few mistakes. The dark-faced Mr. Gu quietly appeared behind them, staring at them with numbness.

  Fortunately, the day of Mrs. Gu's delivery arrived in a blink of an eye.

  The winter cold is gone and the spring is coming.

  A group of old men and women who had nothing to do in Stone Village once again gathered under the old locust tree in the village. They all stretched their necks and looked at Old Gu's house in the west of the village. They saw Old Gu inviting Po Wen into the house. , I was very excited for a while.

  "I saw Mrs. Liu Wen entering the house!"

  "I saw it too!"

  "Hey, do you think the old Mrs. Gu is pregnant with a boy or a girl?"

  "The old Gu family has no shortage of boys and girls. Is it a boy? Doesn't it matter if you're a girl?"

  "This is different. I saw Mrs. Gu out for a walk a few days ago. Her belly was so big! It was just like when I gave birth to a baby! I doubt she was pregnant with a boy!"

  "It was a girl. ! Old man Gu calls me daughter and daughter every day, this must be a girl!"

  "You old men, you look like a boy at first glance, how could it be a girl?"

  "Let's make a bet! I'll bet an egg! This is a girl! "

  Just bet!"

  The old men and women under the old locust tree quarreled, and they all came to register their bets in front of the old slicker. The old slicker who registered silently took out ten coins and put it on the side of the baby girl.

  There was a bet under the old locust tree, and the Gu family was waiting for Mrs. Gu to give birth to the child.

  The Gu family members were all gathered around in the yard, all looking towards the door of the old lady's room. No sound was heard even for a moment after the old lady went in, which made people feel nervous.

  The eldest daughter-in-law's name is Qin Xue. She was married from the town. She is diligent and quick at work. After hearing Old Mrs. Gu start, she quickly boiled a pot of hot water and waited, and also made a bowl of brown sugar eggs for the old lady.
