The city of Mellon is a typical southern town, humid and rainy. When the wedding car arrived at the old house of the Mei Long Xue family, it was already night, and it had just rained heavily here, and the bluestone slab was a little slippery. As soon as she got out of the car, she slipped under her feet and almost looked foreign, but fortunately, Xue Yihuai grabbed her very quickly.

The old mansion is more than a hundred years old, and the walls are a little mottled. The couplet at the door is new, and there are several pots of verdant bonsai, which adds a little novelty. Under the spacious patio, flowers and plants are lined with flower stands, and several bird cages hang in front of the quaint porch.

The courtyard was surprisingly large, with a stream winding through it. A wooden bridge was erected on top of the flowing water, and the bridge was covered with all kinds of orchids, and the old man was such an elegant person. He Niannian thought, the old man who can take care of flowers and plants carefully should be a peaceful old man.

In fact, the moment he saw Old Man Xue, He Niannian knew that his inference was too one-sided.

Above the high hall, Old Man Xue, who was wearing a Mao suit, looked at his granddaughter-in-law on crutches: "Are you that girl?" The white-haired pale man is not angry and self-assured, which is the demeanor of the superior. I heard that before the old man retired, he served as the commander of a military region. When he was young, he suffered a lot of injuries on the battlefield, but he was still in good spirits when he was old.

After the old man retired, he did not stay in the military rest house arranged by the military region, and chose to return to his hometown alone. Probably because of the death of his son, the old man was a little disheartened! As for how Xue Yihuai's father died, Xue Yihuai never mentioned this, and it seemed to have become a taboo topic in the Xue family.

She will not forget that rainy night when he took her home and she asked about his father. Xue Yihuai suddenly stepped on the brakes, and then looked at her coldly. Without speaking, he coldly opened the door and told her to get out of the car, and walked away by himself, leaving her in the cold night rain.

When he came back to his senses, Old Man Xue's gaze was comparable to an X-ray, and he swept it all over to make He Niannian feel like a man's back.

After asking a few words, the old man walked away with a cane, and Jiang Xinle, who was sitting on the side, spoke: "The wedding ceremony in my hometown is more cumbersome, so you should rest early tonight." ”

With a nervous mood, He Niannian tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Xue Yihuai beside him was motionless, so quiet that his breathing was so slight. The faint light outside the window penetrated through the window, and his sleeping face looked extraordinarily soft, and He Niannian watched his side face gradually calm down.

Early the next morning, He Niannian put on a dragon and phoenix gown, and Ning Rushan, who was sitting in front of the bed dresser and her best friend and bridesmaid, laughed at her full of gold jewelry: "It's really local tyrant gold, full of golden cheesiness." I like it, though!"

The wedding customs on Mei Long's side are very cumbersome, He Niannian doesn't remember how many procedures he has gone through, and there are countless uncles and aunts in the Xue family. Finally, the ceremony was finally completed, and when he returned to the room, He Niannian lay down on the bed: "I knew that marriage was so tiring, so I wouldn't marry." ”

Ning Rushan slapped her on the buttocks: "Hurry up, this bed can't lie down yet! I heard that I have to bring a little kid over and roll over, saying that it was an early child?"

Sure enough, as soon as Ning Rushan pulled her up, Jiang Xinle came over with a group of mothers-in-law and mothers holding a little boy on her back foot. After the little kid rolled over, Jiang Xinle rarely held her hand affectionately and said, "Niannian, from now on you will be the daughter-in-law of our Xue family." The Xue family is thin, and my mother is counting on you to spread the branches for the old Xue family earlier!"

As he spoke, he handed a small box to her: "This pair of jade bracelets was handed down by the elders of the Xue family, and I don't know how many generations I have handled, and now I will pass it on to you." The weight of this, I don't say, you should also understand. ”

The jade bracelet is moist and delicate, it is mutton fat white jade, and it feels heavier and heavier in your hand. Jiang Xinle's words are very clear, it is her task to pass on the ancestry. She began to reflect, did she marry Xue Yihuai just to have a child?

"Nian Nian!" Ning Rushan gently pushed her behind her back, and she was stunned for a moment before she lowered her head at Shangjiang Xinle's gaze: "I understand." ”

After the banquet, her parents went back that day, even the best man of her companion. I heard that this is Mei Long's custom, and the parents of the newlywed woman cannot accompany their daughter to spend the night at her in-law's house. After sending them away, He Niannian's face was a little gloomy.

Xue Yihuai looked at the sky with both hands: "Did you bring the book I gave you?"

He Niannian was stunned for a moment and then nodded: "Didn't you deliberately tell me that I must bring it before I came......?"

I don't think I'm asking her to make pastries!

Xue Yihuai smiled and did not answer: "Soon you will know." ”

It was indeed very fast, she fell asleep after a tired day, and Xue Yihuai woke her up before the day was polished: "The new daughter-in-law has to honor her elders on the first day, so you will make today's breakfast." By the way, before eating, you have to give tea to your grandfather and your mother-in-law. ”

It was not yet dawn, but I suddenly felt thunder explode above my head: "Have I crossed over? I seem to have seen a hard-working little daughter-in-law living in a feudal society." ”

Xue Yihuai sneered and patted her head: "Come on little daughter-in-law!" After speaking, he changed into sportswear and went out for a run.

Oh my God! Why did this script suddenly change its style of painting and say that it was a harmonious society? He Niannian was completely stunned by this distorted custom, until the voice of Sister-in-law Jiang, the housekeeper of the old mansion, came from outside the door: "Young lady, are you up?"

He Niannian hurriedly cleaned up and went out, followed Sister-in-law Jiang to the kitchen, and the ingredients were ready. But...... The old mansion is also a little more ecological! The earth stove is big, and she has to make a fire!, where will she do this!

"The old man's stomach is not very good, so he usually eats a very light breakfast, just boil white porridge for the old man. Madame doesn't like to drink porridge, there are soaked soybeans, you can make a cup of soy milk for Madame. There is also a leavened dough that you can watch and make your own pastry. ”

Xue Yihuai really didn't have any good intentions, and it turned out to be premeditated to give her a book of pastries.

"Sister-in-law Jiang, this fire ...... Is there an induction cooker, or a gas stove?"

Sister-in-law Jiang is not bad, smiled and shook her head: "The old man only likes to eat dishes fried over an open fire, and his old man said that only firewood cooking is the best." After speaking, she taught He Niannian to make a fire, "The young lady has to hurry up, the master's work and rest time is very punctual." I get up at six o'clock, do tai chi for an hour, and have breakfast at half past seven. ”

In the hurry, the white porridge was a little burnt, but she was struggling with another problem. Should you put salt in the white porridge? She has always only drunk porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, so what does the white porridge taste like? The time is getting shorter and shorter, and the noodles are not cooked.

At this moment, she especially wanted to burn the book that Xue Yihuai gave her, because the pastries taught on it were all very complicated. In her current situation, the simplest is steamed buns. So, a basket of extremely irregular steamed buns came out of the pot before half past seven.

"Won't you be poisoned if you eat these things?" Xue Yihuai leaned against the door of the kitchen at some point, looking like an uncle with both hands, and expressed deep disgust for the breakfast He Niannian made.

He glanced at him and shouted, "Look at the excitement, do me a favor and bring it over!"

Xue Yihuai chuckled: "Looking at the excitement, it's really just to see the excitement." With that, he turned around and left in style. He Niannian, who was left with a petrified face, was messy in the wind, greeting his ancestors by the way.

After making breakfast, my whole body was soaked, and I went back to the room to change my clothes, and the old man and mother-in-law were already sitting on the Taishi chair waiting for her to serve tea. After drinking his granddaughter-in-law's tea, the old man looked at the white porridge with a burnt smell floating in front of him, and couldn't help frowning: "Will this porridge be poisoned if you eat it?"

He Niannian understood who Xue Yihuai's poisonous tongue had inherited. As soon as Old Man Xue's words fell, Xue Yihuai sneered, so the old man stared at Xue Yihuai with a torch: "Your wife's love is early, you eat more." So, he pushed his bowl of white porridge in front of Xue Yihuai.

Xue Yihuai frowned, and pushed the bowl of white porridge back: "Your granddaughter-in-law specially boiled it for you, you can eat more." He Niannian's mood is very gloomy, although the appearance is not good, but don't be so obviously disgusted, okay?

"Grandpa, I've been boiling this porridge for a long time. He Niannian whispered. Old Man Xue coughed lightly, scooped a spoonful and had a somewhat strange expression: "This porridge ...... Put salt?"
