On the fifth day of the first month, Liang Meng came to the door with his new aunt, Liang Zizhuang and his wife were very happy, and Liang Baisong, who usually did not smile, was full of smiles.
Before leaving, Chen Qing also brought a large basket of vegetables as a return gift, but the new aunt was shocked, and secretly said in his heart that the landlord's family was really rich, and he also transported vegetables from the south to eat in winter.
The wealth was not exposed, and the Liang family tacitly sent away the new aunt, and told Liang Meng to live a good life.
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the lively New Year's Festival is over. When Chen Qing started to sew small clothes for his son, Liang Duoduo also took linen cloth and followed him to learn.
Chen Qing picked out fine cotton cloth for his son, which is the most sweat-absorbing and breathable, and at first Liang Zijun was reluctant to use brocade for the baby when Chen Qing was reluctant, after all, the baby grew fast, and he had to change a batch of clothes in a few โกโก.
After Chen Qing explained, Liang Sanye immediately replaced all the brocade with the softest cotton cloth, and said that his son's diapers also had to use this bag.
Liang Zijun grabbed the little girl for a good meal, and only then took out a roll of cotton cloth and asked Duoduo to tailor it properly, the little girl shook her head in fright, saying that her craftsmanship was not good, and it was a pity that she wasted good materials in vain if she did it badly.
"It's not a pity to throw away the sackcloth to practice your hands? That is, you know that this is a good material, so be careful when you sew it, send it properly when it is done, and leave it for your son to wear if it is broken!" Liang Zijun bared his teeth, made a cup of jujube water for his daughter-in-law, and filled the fruit plate that had been eaten, and then went out leisurely.
Chen Qing smiled slightly, opened the cloth roll, and handed the painting cake (talcum powder) to Duoduo, "Your uncle is right, when I started to learn to make clothes, I thought carefully because I didn't dare to waste the fabric, and I was afraid that it would be broken."
Liang Duoduo changed his casualness and rigorous attitude, and he was not as careless as he was just now. Compared with the pattern cut by Chen Qing, I studied it for a while before I dared to use a ruler to draw lines, and I even drew it well.
Chen Qing nodded her forehead, this girl just doesn't want to study hard, if she is not playful, how can she embroider chickens like ducks, sew clothes without cuffs?
Liang Duoduo stuck out his tongue, cut it carefully, and followed the example of his aunt to lock the edge one by one. Chen Qing was free to point out to her a few words, and when the clothes were sewn, Liang Duoduo was so happy that he was reluctant to give it away and leave it for his baby to wear.
"I'm worried about having a baby before I get married, you are not ashamed of the girl!" Chen Qing smiled and agreed, but agreed with her to keep it, after all, it was the first finished product embroidered by herself, and it should be kept as a souvenir.
In the next few days, Liang Duoduo nested in Chen Qing, a female red, although the embroidery skills have not made much progress, but the work of cutting and sewing has been able to do the same.
The small clothes that I received properly are more delicate than the other, and even Brother Yang praised Duoduo that the clothes are better sewn than himself, and the stitches are sparse and consistent, and the big holes and small eyes that no longer start.
Xiaowa's clothes are small, and the workmanship is not complicated, it is from one a day at the beginning, to two pieces a day now, Shao Fengzhi is relieved that Chen Qing is almost incense, her daughter's skin is ruthless, and her butt can't be stained on the chair for an hour, so she has to run out of crazy play, even if she is forced to embroider, it is three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.
Chen Qing felt that Duoduo was quite talented, but Feng Zhi didn't have the patience to teach, and Ziping was very protective, which made her used to it. After learning how to cut and sew the baby's clothes, Chen Qing struck while the iron was hot and taught her to make adult underwear and underwear. If the coat is not well embroidered, you can buy it with silver, and the intimate clothes are still comfortable to sew by yourself.
Because of pregnancy, Chen Qing didn't sew a new dress for Liang Zijun during the New Year, which would just take the opportunity to sew a liner for him, and teach him a lot by the way.
There are many kinds of female red truth, not only sewing and embroidery, but also weaving, weaving, patchwork, flower cutting, dyeing and so on.
Chen Qing only focused on teaching her sewing and embroidery, occasionally interspersed with some patchwork, flower cutting and weaving, and learning these can basically be regarded as a woman in charge of herself.
Liang Duoduo because of the initial results, the learning mood is unprecedentedly high, in addition to the daily sewing and repair, but also digging out the hollow to study some small pieces of purse fans.
Liu Hongmei caught the little girl all day long to learn to do housework, and said angrily that this girl was sent by God to torture her! Seeing that the sky was obedient like a cat in front of Chen Qing, she splashed her paws as soon as she arrived at her courtyard.
Shao Fengzhi didn't pay for that hospital, this hospital said good things, and it was really heartbroken for her daughter, but her daughter couldn't teach her well, so she had to ask her to help with her teaching.
Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wanle Zhai sent the purchased carriages and horses to collect all the melons and fruits in the greenhouse. If Chen Qing hadn't had the foresight to collect some and hide them in the courtyard early in the morning, this gang of bandit-like guys probably wouldn't have left him even half a cucumber.
There are free laborers in the greenhouse to plough and sow seeds, which saves Chen Qing a lot of heart, and he will leave it alone after handing over the seeds.
Carrying the 240 taels of silver he earned, Chen Qing smiled and couldn't see his eyes, so he was busy sending the reserved copies to each hospital, and asked Zijun to bring a basket to Mr. as a New Year's gift.
Liang Zijun stared at the basket in the house and shouted, "Why do you send so much?
Chen Qingbai glanced at him and muttered, "Mr. Yu has a teacher-student friendship with you, just eat a little, how can you be stingy? This strawberry was promised to Brother Liao in the morning." There is also this basket, you have already asked you to send it to Uncle Liang, you don't listen, this is for the shopkeeper Wan, this is for Uncle Liu, and these two are to be sent to the aunt and the shopkeeper Lin......"
Chen Qing thought of all the people who had a good relationship, and Liang Zijun, who listened to it, covered his ears and said straight to give gifts, how can it be beneficial to give silver?
"Human favor can't be measured by silver" Chen Qing glanced at him, urged people to set up a carriage while they were on the road in the morning, and took out an old quilt to cover it to prevent freezing.
When the people left, Chen Qing beckoned Liang Duoduo, who was stealing fun, into the house, "See, have you ever had a tedious life, you can't just think about asking for it, but you also have to remember to give back, human relations are all learning, you have to learn to deal with family affairs from now on, and when you get married, you will inevitably have to walk around with your in-laws' relatives, you must remember to observe more and talk less, and you can only get along with people if you don't know the rights and wrongs behind your back......"
Chen Qing repeated the set of truths taught to Chen Bi to Liang Duoduo, and by the way, quoted the interpersonal relationships in the family to explain to her, and after analyzing the concubines, he also talked about the three daughters who married outside. After hearing this, Liang Duoduo couldn't help but smash his tongue and shouted, "Why are there so many things when you get married?"
Chen Qing supported his forehead, Feng Zhi really didn't teach a lot of anything, it seems that he has to pay attention to more than just the female red. In the afternoon, Feng Zhi brought the soup over, and Chen Qing stared at her embarrassedly and said, "I really don't drink this soup in vain......
Shao Fengzhi looked at the sky and the earth, but he didn't look at Chen Qing, and after his steps, he smiled and said, "I'll stew you another rib...... That, you have to bother more~"
Chen Qing twitched the corners of his mouth, secretly thinking that Zijun was really a baby taught by his second sister-in-law......
Liang Duoduo has one more homework during his daily embroidery work, that is, he listens to Chen Qing's chatter while embroidering. Chen Qing is very good at teaching, combining etiquette and stories, like a joke, so that Duoduo can also learn how to behave in the world.
After talking about a group of his own bad relatives, and told the interesting things that Liang Jia in the village told him, the little girl had long stopped laughing, frowned and said, "Auntie, no wonder you are the most popular in the family, it turns out that not only can you be a talent, but also know how to advance and retreat, otherwise you have to be annoyed like Aunt Suliu in the village."
"It's good that you know, sometimes it's not a loss to be overbearing, but you can't take it as an advantage, once or twice people don't care about you, and eight times out of ten will be annoying" Chen Qing mentioned in a heavy tone.
"Then Ah Niang...... Liang Duoduo put down the needle and thread in his hand and asked suspiciously.
"The family knows that she is a knife-mouthed tofu and has a heart to maintain this family, but outsiders will not be as tolerant as the family. Don't you also say that when you go back to your grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings, those aunts don't want to see you? This has something to do with your aunt's being too strong, even if you go back to your parents' house, you can't rely on your identity to show the faces of several sisters-in-law, otherwise it will be thankless, people will live behind closed doors, and the married daughter will no longer have a position to meddle in her mother's affairs."
Chen Qing sighed, this topic is a little heavy, it is inevitable that in the future, he will only alienate his mother-in-law's family, and then said, "Although the daughter who married out splashed the water, but you have to remember that only your father and mother are the people who really feel sorry for you, no matter if you have been wronged outside, whether you are happy, you can't stay away from your father, our family is different from other families, and you can't learn from the practices of women in the village, do you know?"
Liang Duoduo focuses on this, she understands this, if the daughter of the Liang family married out does not have the support of her mother's family, how can she live so comfortably in her in-law's family?
Chen Qing coughed secretly, and explained subtly with a subtle look in his eyes, "I don't dare to tell my family what I said to you, otherwise I won't teach you this next time."
Liang Duoduo begged for hush money in a ghostly way, and smiled and promised, "Don't worry, auntie, I remember not to say this mouth, who treats me well, I can tell it clearly"
"Ghost spirit!" Chen Qing scolded with a smile, shook his head and got up and thumped his waist.
More than six months pregnant, only sitting for a while will have a sore back, Chen Qing held his stomach and carefully tilted down on the couch, Liang Duoduo came over to beat people's legs, and did not forget to ask for some advice.
Waiting for Liang Zijun to come back, the two of them had already prepared dinner and waited while eating, now Chen Qing was hungry, and he had already changed his habit of dining, Liang Zijun went to the stove room to serve the meal, and sat down to eat and chat.
Looking at the more mellow daughter-in-law, Liang Sanye was in a particularly beautiful mood to invite the merit, "The master went to give gifts, and got a good compliment from the husband, and the aunt and the shopkeeper Lin also said that they would come to see you when the child was full moon, and the master should have answered, and you will be made lively then."
Chen Qing was busy for a day, a little in good spirits, and climbed on the couch to rest after eating, Liang Duoduo got used to eating these days, and spontaneously took the dishes and chopsticks to the courtyard to clean.
"So diligent lately?" Liang Zijun teased his niece.
"My aunt taught me a lot, and I don't want to get married so early," Liang Duoduo muttered as he bit his lip.
"If you don't want to marry, you won't marry, our family can still afford to raise an old girl, it's really not good, uncle will recruit a door-to-door son-in-law for you, and it will save you from going out, and the second brother and sister-in-law miss you" Liang Zijun squatted in front of his niece and said with a smile.
"I don't want to be an old girl!" Liang Duoduo splashed hard, and the uncle was washing the dishes with his face.
"Hey~ a dead girl, see how I clean you up" Liang Zijun got up and went to arrest her, the uncle and nephew made a mess, and they were still as close as they were when they were children.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, all the courtyards got together and drove a carriage to the temple to offer incense, and only in the evening did they step on the night to enjoy the lanterns. Even Brother Yang left his children and ran to the county to play, leaving a group of old children and Chen Qing at home.
Chen Qing ate too many rice balls and couldn't sleep uncomfortably, so Liang Zijun got up and rubbed his stomach. After the time, there was still no return from everyone, and Liang Zijun didn't care much about it as if he was playful.
This year, because Chen Qing was pregnant, Liang Sanye was absent from the Lantern Festival for the first time, and only went to the county seat once during the day, and ran back to guard his daughter-in-law before it was dark.
Chen Qing persuaded him to play, he didn't have to do anything at home, but Liang Zijun couldn't rest assured, he was tired of playing the Lantern Festival for a long time, how could he sleep with his daughter-in-law in his arms?
The couple didn't feel anything was wrong until more than half of the hour, and now it's past the time to return home, even if they are greedy for fun, they won't play so late.
Liang Zijun put on his clothes and went out to see, and Chen Qing also put on his coat and was worried. When I was near, I saw Li San running back with a carriage and asked if Duoduo had come back?
Liang Baicang anxiously asked the reason, and was busy going to the county seat to find his granddaughter. The loss of this girl is a big deal, and if something happens to her, this life will be ruined.
Once the daughter's family is ruined, it is a fatal thing, and if it is abducted by human traffickers, it may be sold to the Qinglou or given to a large family as a concubine or slave.
Even if the world is peaceful, there are always filthy and filthy things emerging in an endless stream, and there are always those wicked people who dare to take risks to do harmful things and make money.
The family went out overnight to find the baby, and when they walked halfway, they met Duoduo who returned home, and when Zhao saw his granddaughter, he cried and beat and beaten, this dead girl was going to scare the whole family to death!
The young man standing beside Liang Duoduo hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Old lady, don't worry, Xiaosheng met Miss Liang who was lonely, and saw that she still couldn't find her family at the city gate, so he dared to escort her back." Please rest assured, Xiaosheng has never crossed the slightest, and he does not dare to tarnish Miss Liang's reputation."
The Liang family thanked the young man for their kindness, and inquired carefully about the address, and learned that the young man was a young man who came to visit relatives in the provincial capital, so he was relieved to let people leave.
Before leaving, Liang Baida also said that he wanted to come to the door to thank him, in order to let him not go out and say that his mouth was dirty again.
In the middle of the night, it was not easy to lead people home, and a group of elders stood on the side of the road to see off the young man, and then twisted Duoduo's arms to return home.
As soon as he entered the door, Liang Baicang forced him to ask how he knew the young man, and quickly instructed Li San to call everyone back, and in a hurry, he forgot that there were still a few people looking for him in the county, and if he didn't report it, he was really afraid that Feng Zhi would be in a hurry.
Liang Duoduo knelt on the ground and explained the matter in a few words, and everyone listened to it, only saying that this girl was bold and dared to wander around alone when she was separated from her family.
Chen Qing was also angry, if he hadn't met a well-wisher and sent him back, if he was targeted by a thief, he would really cry.
Liang Duoduo reacted after realizing it, and hurriedly promised that he would not dare to walk around next time. Everyone, you and I said a word of lessons, so that this crazy girl understood the seriousness of the matter.
In the past, I had to go to the county every three or five times, and even the Lantern Festival was not less than ten times, and every time I went out, I repeatedly warned not to go around, but I didn't have an accident, so I naturally took those instructions as a deaf ear, and I just listened to it.
It's just that everyone protects the girl too well, so that she doesn't know the dangers of the world, let alone know how to protect herself. The eldest patriarch waved his hand and solemnly warned everyone, "She is not allowed to step out of the house for half a step in the future, when will she know when she will be allowed to go out!"
Liang Duoduo flattened his mouth aggrievedly, but he also knew that he almost fell into a catastrophe. When Liang Ziping and the others came back and saw A-Niang with red and swollen eyes, Liang Duoduo cried guiltily, "A-Niang, Duoduo doesn't dare anymore......"
"You dead girl, you're going to scare A-Niang to death...... Shao Fengzhi trembled and took her daughter into her arms, she was such a baby, if something really happened, it would be like killing her.
Liang Ziping slapped his daughter's back a few times in anger for the first time, blaming him for being too spoiled and spoiled, which made her so bold, and after beating her daughter with trembling hands, she slapped herself hard, and said to her daughter-in-law, "In the future, the female ring and the three from the four virtues will be taught even if they are beaten!"
At this point, Liang Duoduo was completely grounded.
