134 Brother-in-law
The wind whined and whined, and the snow flew in bursts.
In this bleak world, the people around this simple donkey cart are all happy, and every face reveals a trace of joy brought by new life.
The umbilical cord was quickly broken, and the dumb aunt looked for the wrapped quilt, but she was dumbfounded when she saw it, and the couple could not find a soft swaddling cloth that could wrap the child in the carriage except for a bag of tattered old clothes.
Xiucai Niang struggled to tear a cotton belly pocket from her stomach and handed it over, calling for this bag.
The dumb aunt touched it, this belly pocket was worn close to the body with a little warmth, but it was rubbed by the dirt of the human body and became so hard and pouting, how can this be a meat wrap for the delicate baby?
frowned, "Lancao, I remember that the fourth aunt brought a quilt with her to get it back for this child." ”
Bluegrass braved the wind and snow and ran away.
In the past half of the day, there has been such a big movement in the donkey cart to give birth, and I didn't expect that Zhang's mother and daughter could stay in the car and never come down to take a look.
Lan Cao hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car, and did not watch out for a series of words coming to her: "Yan'er, what are you talking nonsense? Are you confused when you wake up from sleep? I am your mother, who else can I be? Why do you say that you don't know me? You make my mother sad, you don't know that you fell into a coma after taking medicine, it is exactly the same as death, scared to death my mother, my mother's heart is dead, I hate to follow you-"
Lancao didn't have time to listen to it much, and she didn't have time to explain, so she withdrew the quilt from under Liu Yan and turned around and left.
Zhang reacted and hurriedly grabbed it with both hands, but unfortunately it was too late.
Zhang's scolding ran after his ass behind him.
Lan Cao ignored it, and just ran towards the donkey cart, and at the same time felt so strange in a daze, what did the fourth aunt mean by what she said just now......? It seems like...... Oh, I don't have to bother with it, so I'll go back and ask my grandmother.
The dumb aunt used small scissors to cut the quilt, tore off a piece of cotton cloth and wrapped it around the child, and cut out a boxy piece from the big quilt to make a small quilt, wrapped the baby firmly in it, and finally wrapped the mother with a big quilt.
Old Uncle Zhong tore up a piece of silk to make a rope, and tied a few pieces of silk to the outside of the donkey cart, and everyone let go of their hands with a sigh of relief and dissolved the curtain.
Liu Xiucai stumbled over, rushed into the car to see the lady, and saw that the mother and son were really safe, so he eliminated a little panic, looked at the dumb aunt and took a closer look, this little girl looked young, but she combed a woman's bun, although she was dressed elegantly, but she exuded a noble air of Ling Ran, and suddenly she was in awe, and she no longer dared to reprimand her for being a child.
"On the way to the snow, I reached out to rescue and kept my Liu family's mother and son safe and sound. ”
Where has the dumb aunt received such a big courtesy, although she has always been calm, she suddenly faced this polite person but couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and she bent over and over, and said again and again that she didn't need to thank her.
Lancao was secretly happy behind her, this show was interesting, and the little grandmother was even more interesting.
Suddenly, a thin little face poked out of the armpit of the dumb aunt, her eyes stared at the swaddling clothes inside, and she smiled in her mouth, "Child-little brother--I want to hug-"
As he spoke, he climbed into the car and reached out to pick up the child.
Panicked, Lancao hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Brother Wan doesn't dare, he doesn't dare to come nonsense-the little brother doesn't dare to let the wind blow-"
Liu Wan twisted his neck and became angry, his round eyes did not speak, and his cheeks were raised high, and he looked like he was about to get sick.
Lancao hurriedly called Uncle Zhong to help take him to his car, if he wants to get sick, he has to do it in the car, what if he falls headlong on the snow?
"Don't panic-" The dumb aunt stretched out her hand to stop her, she reached out and grabbed Liu Wan's little hand, pushed him into the carriage, and smiled in her mouth, "Our Brother Wan wants to see if the little brother is it? Brother Wan likes the little brother and wants to hug him, isn't it? Come, daughter-in-law help you--you get closer-"
The voice is gentle, the demeanor is gentle, everyone is stunned when they hear it, especially Liu Xiucai, who was stunned by this scene, this little woman is really a little lady who has already married, in fact, it is not uncommon for girls to be little ladies at a young age, and child daughters-in-law can be seen everywhere, but this little lady looks so small, she can have such a mature bearing, and she is so patient with people, it is really rare.
Liu Wan was originally blocked by Lancao, and he was about to get angry and play with his temper, the dumb aunt was so coaxed, after all, he was a child, and suddenly turned his anger into joy, put two small hands on the dumb aunt's hands, and under the help of the dumb aunt, he really climbed into the carriage, and a pair of eyeballs went to look at the baby in swaddling clothes.
Although the baby was born in the snow, he had beautiful eyebrows, upright facial features, and his eyes were closed, but he suddenly opened them, revealing a pair of dark and shiny eyes in the fleshy eyes, and his clear gaze fixed on Liu Wan, and he didn't move for a moment.
"Bao'er-Bao'er is cute-" Liu Wan muttered, and suddenly reached out to stroke the little face.
Lancao felt that her heart was pinched, this Xiucai and his family didn't know that Liu Wan was sick, Lancao himself knew best, in case he suddenly fell ill and hit the child hard, it would be bad.
Liu Wan originally stretched out two hands to hug the child, but his hands were close to the swaddling clothes, he suddenly changed his mind and looked back at the dumb aunt, "Wan'er will pass her illness to Bao'er, right?
The dumb aunt nodded, and suddenly felt sad in her heart, this child, although stupid, can sometimes clearly recognize his own flaws, indicating that his nature is not bad and is kind, in addition, those masters and subordinates of Liufu can usually see how disgusted he is with his illness, so he planted a deep-rooted thought in the depths of the child's heart.
Liu Wan carefully touched the little face, he put the hand he had touched on his face and rubbed it, "Daughter-in-law, I won't wash my hands tomorrow, I want to bring the smell of Bao'er to my body, I like Bao'er." ”
A ten-and-a-half-year-old child, without the onset of the disease, has a very clear voice, revealing sincerity from the depths of his heart.
The dumb aunt suddenly moved in her heart, picked up the child from Liu Xiucai's arms, and gently put it into Liu Wan's arms.
Lancao bit her tongue in fright.
Liu Wan slowly stretched out his hand and hugged the child little by little very carefully, just like holding a precious piece of bleeding glazed porcelain.
"You can kiss him. ”
The mute said softly in her ear.
Liu Wan was very obedient, really lowered his head, pursed his lips and really kissed the little baby on the forehead.
After kissing him, he hurriedly returned the child back to the dumb aunt, rubbed his hands and smiled, "Daughter-in-law, we will also give birth to a Bao'er, right? Lan Mei said, we are husband and wife, daughter-in-law is my mother-in-law, a woman will give birth to a child if she becomes a lady, right? Daughter-in-law gives us Bao'er, okay? Tell him to play with me-"
A clear, bright voice swirls through the cramped donkey cart.
This broken donkey cart, which was originally full of dung, exuded an incomparably warm and peaceful atmosphere for a while.
Liu Xiucai looked at it from the side, and suddenly arched his hand, "Since this little boy likes dogs so much, and the dogs are delivered by this lady herself, then Xiaosheng has an idea that I don't know if to talk about it?"
Everyone looked at Liu Xiucai with a smile.
Liu Xiucai plucked up his courage, "Although Xiaosheng doesn't know who your party is, but looking at your clothes and luggage, you know that you must be extraordinary people, Xiaosheng should not climb high, but this son really likes dogs, then let the dog and this son get married, and in the future, Xiaosheng will also call the dog not to forget the little woman's life-saving grace and he will want to return it one day." ”
After speaking, he looked panicked, obviously lacking confidence.
The crowd was still hesitating.
Liu Wan's face was full of joy first, and he grabbed the dumb girl's wrist, "Are you going to give Bao'er to us?" That's great, Wan'er will have a playmate in the future." ”
The dumb aunt reached out to touch his face, smiled gently, looked at the old Uncle Zhong, and asked him for what he meant, in fact, this is also a respect for the old family's careful care all the way.
Sure enough, Old Uncle Zhong was immediately happy, "This, it's up to the little grandmother to decide, what the little grandmother does is generally not wrong." ”
This is also said to those mothers-in-law.
Sure enough, Hu Ma and the others heard that they were going to oppose it outside the car, but they didn't want Lao Zhong to block the road here, Hu Ma hated it, but there was no better reason to refute it, so they could only retreat stupidly.
The dumb aunt reached into Liu Wan's neck, rubbed for a while, and took out a jade pendant tied with gold thread made of twist, "Bao'er is too young to follow us, but Bao'er is willing to be Wan'er's little brother, and when she grows up, she will come to Wan'er to play, and when the time comes, call Wan'er brother, since Wan'er has become an elder brother, she has to leave a memorial for her younger brother, is this pendant tied to his younger brother's neck?"
Liu Wan thought about it, smiled, showed a mouthful of white broken teeth, and solved it himself, the dumb aunt picked him up, and he hung the pendant on the baby's tender and soft neck with trembling hands.
"This can be regarded as a confession-" The dumb aunt said with a smile, "His name is Liu Wan, and he is the son of Liu Dingmao of Lingzhou Mansion, I don't know what you call him, how will he contact him in the future?"
Although Liu Xiucai didn't know how expensive the jade pendant was, he also saw that it was a good thing, it must be worth a lot of money, and such a good thing was said to be given away, he was panicking in his heart, and when he heard this, he hurriedly got up and hugged his fist at Liu Wan, "It turned out to be the son of the Liu family in Lingzhou Mansion, who was clumsy and rude." ”
After thinking about it, "Xiaosheng's surname is Liu, and the dog will be named Liu Qian, which matches Liu Gongzi's name just right, and it is easy to remember." ”
Liu Wan and Liu Qian do have some matches.
The snow outside was gradually darkening, and everyone was ready to leave.
Liu Xiucai went to untie the silk outside the car, and said that he would return it to the dumb aunt and his party.
The dumb aunt smiled faintly, "Old Uncle Zhong, take a few pieces of jewelry in our car and give them them, this road is cold, and they can find an inn along the way and sell them as entanglement." ”
Liu Xiucai's family unexpectedly got so much money, the lady was so grateful that she just held the child and kowtowed in the car, Liu Xiucai had tears in her eyes, and kept sending the dumb aunts into the car.
The carriage and horses start and walk forward in the snow.
The dumb aunt's heart suddenly lit up, and she shouted to stop, jumped down and rushed to the donkey cart again.
Mother Tower, Mother Tower, as a Xiucai, he is generally a person who reads poetry and books, and Liu Xiucai is a local, he should know about the Mother Tower. (To be continued.) )
