To the north of Baizigou are rolling mountains. The foot of the mountain is not bad, but there are mostly hills with fruit trees and shrubs in the middle. It will be extremely dangerous to walk further in after passing this hill.

On weekdays, except for the old hunters within a ten-mile radius, basically no one dares to venture into the mountains alone. Even the annual hunt is led by old hunters.

To the west of Baizigou is a river. It is said that as long as a woman who is about to give birth sincerely goes to the river to pray, she will give birth to a boy. The locals love to call it Baizi River.

Whether it is as the legend says, there is no real evidence for this, but the river has nourished a land, water and people. Baizigou, which seems to be a barren mountain and a harsh river, has not seen any deaths in the famine years.

As the delivery date approaches, Bai Xiulan has recently set her sights on this river. It's not that she believed in such legends. If they were true, she would have given birth to a son long ago instead of being disappointed every time.

But... although my mother-in-law never complained that her daughter-in-law could not give birth to a grandson, she was an old man, especially a mother-in-law who had only had such a biological son all her life.

In the village, she just watched the two stepsons above her give birth to grandchildren one after another. It was impossible to say that she didn't have any thoughts in her heart.

Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about herself. Even as a daughter-in-law, she has some ideas in her heart. She also hopes to give birth to a man who can support the family.

It's not that the daughter is bad, no matter how good the girl is, she will eventually get married. No good man would be willing to marry into a wife and become a brother-in-law. What's more, the eldest has been disobedient, and she can't bear to wrong the younger one.

She has a young family and is outstanding in everything. Even her child's teacher has said that he will let his child go to work after graduating from high school. If she really wants to find someone to step in, the child's father will panic and she won't be able to bear it.

Fortunately, God has opened his eyes. After more than ten years, she, a mother, is pregnant again, and she is pregnant with twins. Finally, she does not have to wrong her children and wants to stay at home and support her family.

Of course, all this depends on the child in the belly giving birth to a son... Bai Xiulan touched her tall belly and glanced at her mother-in-law who was working on the wheat field with her great-granddaughter on her back.

Look at the sky, the sun is rising high, it will definitely not rain today, it seems reasonable for her to leave alone for a while, avoid some people on the way, and go to the river first.

On the wheat field, Mrs. Xu seemed to be working with a rake in both hands, and from time to time she would squat down to help the elderly sisters beside her. Her mind was always on her daughter-in-law.

Seeing her daughter-in-law glance at her again, how could she not know what it meant? Otherwise, why would she be relying on her old age to work together with her daughter-in-law?

Go, go if you want. I'm sorry if it's early, but it's late. Both sides of the river are full of men and women who have been working hard all day and soaking in the water. They are still those young boys, but don't get angry with a few words.

Due to the crowds coming and going in the wheat field, Mrs. Xu had no choice but to give her daughter-in-law a wink and signal that she would leave together later. She was really worried about her daughter-in-law approaching the river alone with her big belly.

Bai Xiulan was so happy that she misunderstood her mother-in-law's meaning. When she saw her mother-in-law blinking and nodding, she was so happy that before she left, she started shouting.

"Mom, I'm going to go to the thatched building first. You can help me keep an eye on it for a while. I'll be back right away. Don't come over. I'll just go by myself. I'll be careful." As she said that, she waved her right hand and turned around to leave.

Mrs. Xu, who was about to put down the rake and raise her legs to follow, was stunned. How could she follow after you said that? She didn't look at the little daughter-in-law with a big belly who was working next to her.

There were people coming and going in the field, and it was the harvest season. She really couldn't leave without giving up her work. "...Child, walk slower and watch the road more."

"Old sister-in-law, just relax. Bai Yatou has given birth to two children, so she will be careful. Besides, the fields are full of people all the way, so nothing will happen."

What do you know, do you really think that my daughter-in-law can be like your old daughter-in-law, giving birth to a baby more smoothly than a hen laying eggs? Besides, she doesn’t really go home directly.

"...Looking at the current pregnancy, it looks really different from the previous two babies. It must be a boy... By the way, your third child's belly looks like she's about to give birth, right?"

Seeing her daughter-in-law walking away, Mrs. Xu nodded absentmindedly, "Yes, the doctor in the city said it would be at the end of this month if it's quick, or next month if it's slow."

The old Xu family has long been divided. Mrs. Xu originally chose a homestead at the foot of the Northeast Mountains for her son, and left the old home to the eldest son of the Xu family, saying that it was the ancestral home for the eldest son.

Compared to the Xu family home, which is next to a river and has easy access to water, this famous stepmother did not have any good things to give to her biological son Xu Laosan when the family was separated.

For this reason, Xu Lizhu, the third eldest son of the Xu family, who had just started working in the Linxian coal mine after being separated as soon as he got married, spent his own money to dig a well for the convenience of water.

Therefore, no one in the village was muttering that he refused to listen to the old man and insisted on drinking well water. After so many years, even the daughter of the Bai family, who was most likely to have a son, did not give birth to a son.

Bai Xiulan didn't complain. Compared with carrying water, it was naturally more convenient to have a well at home. Besides, it was her mother-in-law who picked the foundation. Could she still dislike it?

It's not like she hadn't gone to the river to pray when she was about to give birth. She thought her sister-in-law, who had given birth to five sons, took her there because she was too embarrassed to go there when she was about to give birth.

This is fate! Otherwise, the husband's natal family, even the old sister, and every family are not short of sons, so why is it so difficult for Bai Daniu to help her man give birth to a son?

In the words of her man, sometimes your destiny must be there, but when your destiny is not available, don't force it. But... Third brother, I'd better pray for you before you go home, so that you can have peace of mind.

Bai Xiulan deliberately took a detour and passed by the river, secretly comforting herself that no one dared to laugh at her. She was worried about her two daughters and wanted to pass by the river and take a look at them.

The eldest son of her family, that kid is not made to work at all, and he probably sneaked away somewhere now. The same goes for my uncle, who can't even be found.

have to!

Not to mention the two unsatisfactory ones, even her parents were young, even though they were far and near, there was no sign of this child when they looked over. Where did they go?

This girl went out before dawn today. She even persuaded you to go over and help boil water and deliver water. She even had time to wait for the adults to cut some wheat along the way. Why are you so anxious?

But this child has the same virtue as her father. You say your thing, she does hers, she just smiles and runs away. I just don’t know if this girl has gone back to cook at the moment.

Really unable to find her child, Bai Xiulan looked around again and saw that no one was paying attention. She quickly held her belly in her hands and chose the "Feng Shui Treasure" by the river.

Needless to say, this Feng Shui treasure land is covered by green willow trees. If you move a few steps to the left, even if you kneel on the ground to pray, no one will see you.

At this time, Bai Xiulan was so flustered that she suddenly forgot about this "feng shui treasure land". She had come here to kneel, worship and pray one day fifteen years ago.
