"You dead old man, you still dislike me for cooking food is not delicious? You have a kind of you special you cook it yourself!" Yang saw Shi Polang angry, she was angry, she never thought that Shi Polang would ridicule herself like this, in the past, when she first married Shi Polang, Shi Polang also told her, daughter-in-law, the food you cook is the best, I will never get tired of eating it.
But Shi Polang pretended that he hadn't heard what Yang said, and he walked out of the hall with his back to her.
Shi Polang did go to Shi Zhubao's house for dinner.
Shi Zhubao and his daughter-in-law Ning Shi saw that Shi Polang had come to the house, and welcomed him into the house with a smile.
Shi Zhubao asked Ning to go to the earthen stove room and get another pair of chopsticks and a bowl of rice.
"Dad, why didn't you come over sooner? We're halfway through our meals. Shi Zhubao said with a smile.
"I'm thinking of coming to hang out, hehe......" Shi Polang didn't say anything about his quarrel with Yang.
"Father-in-law, I have made braised chicken feet this time, this time the meat of the braised chicken feet is more skin and tender than the one you made last time, you can eat it quickly!" Ning's is very good at being a person, and at this time, he can see that there are obviously three braised chicken feet left on the plate, and he smiled very attentively to clip the braised chicken feet for Shi Polang.
"Okay, I want to eat, Zhubao daughter-in-law, your craftsmanship is getting better and better, this braised chicken feet look very thick. "Shi Polang likes to eat braised chicken feet very much, although the Yang family can also make them, but the braised chicken feet made by the Yang family are not as delicious as those made by the Ning family.
Ning's and Shizhubao's braised chicken feet shop is getting better and better, so Ning's waist is also thicker, and the relationship with his mother-in-law Yang has also improved a lot.
Besides, the two families are close, and sometimes the Ning family will bring back the braised chicken feet that can't be sold in the store and send them to the Yang family to eat, and the Yang family will heat the braised chicken feet and fry two plates of side dishes, won't the dinner of this family be done?
The Yang family just likes Xiaoen Xiaohui, and the Ning family really got the sycophant right.
Since Ding Qinghe moved to Chaocheng, she doesn't often go back to the Shi family's old house, so the relationship between her and her mother-in-law Yang has become more and more indifferent.
Not to mention Zhugui's daughter-in-law Zhang Linglong, she already lives in the Zhang family, and Shi Zhugui is the son-in-law of the door, so it is even more impossible for the Zhang family to go to the Yang family.
Among the three daughters-in-law, Yang has gone from hating Ning at the beginning to fully accepting it now, and it must be said that Ning still has some scheming.
For example, now, after Ning's dinner was finished, she saw Shi Polang and Shi Zhubao chatting about homely things, so she packed up the two foreheads she had embroidered before, got up and went out, and the direction was the Shi family's old house.
The Yang clan didn't expect the Ning clan to come at this time.
"Why are you here?" Yang had already brushed the dishes and chopsticks at this time, and was boiling hot water for the bath, she heard Ning calling her mother-in-law in the yard, so she stuffed the firewood into the earthen stove, walked to the window of the earthen stove room, looked out, and said in surprise.
"Mother-in-law, it's about to be the New Year, the weather is getting colder and colder, I took the time to make two foreheads for you, you try it now, is it suitable? Ning said with a smile.
Hearing what the Ning family said, the Yang family was overjoyed, and said in his heart, although this Ning family has a bad reputation, he is very good at pleasing himself, and this alone will throw that Ding family out of most of the village.
Yang's face was faint, and he said: "Oh, you are pregnant, why don't you do it, I can ask Mu Hibiscus to help me wipe my forehead." ”
"It is the daughter-in-law's job to wipe her mother-in-law's forehead. Ning said with a smile, and said in his heart that it would be best to have a good relationship with his mother-in-law, at least his reputation could improve a little.
"You're a good one. Yang smiled reluctantly, reached out and patted Ning's hand.
Ning is good at observing words and feelings, and soon noticed that Yang was in a bad mood, could it be that her mother-in-law and father-in-law quarreled?
Otherwise, why did my father-in-law come to eat at dinner?
"Mother-in-law, I see that your face is haggard, is there something wrong with your body?" Ning asked cautiously.
"No, I'm comfortable. Yang didn't want to tell Ning about everything, so she shook her head.
While talking to her, Yang turned his head to look at the direction of the earthen stove room, whether there was a fire, after all, she was boiling the bath water, she had not taken a bath for more than ten consecutive days, there was dirt on her body, it was very itchy, she really couldn't hold it anymore, so she wanted to take a bath happily.
Seeing that Yang was reluctant to speak, Ning was smart enough not to continue to ask, but said a few words of gossip and went home.
When Ning went back, he saw that her father-in-law Shi Zhubao was still talking to his father Shi Polang, and he was talking about the homestead.
"I'm thinking that after the Spring Festival, I want to build another pigsty on the homestead in the backyard, and now that life is better, I want to raise a few more pigs. Shi Polang said to Shi Zhubao.
"Okay, as long as I'm free, when my father comes to call me, I'll go and help. Shi Zhubao responded cheerfully.
"Zhubao, you are stingy and blessed, your daughter-in-law has a good pregnancy, she must be a boy. Shi Polang saw that the Ning family was back, and he didn't mention anything about the homestead with him anymore, and it was involved in the child.
"Father-in-law, you just see me here, I don't vomit, when I get up in the morning, I vomit so badly, it's like eating coptis water, it's bitter!" Ning smiled and refilled a cup of tea for Shi Polang.
"Zhubao, take care of your daughter-in-law! The hour is not early, you two should settle down, I'll go back." Shi Polang took a few more sips of tea, got up and said to them.
"Dad, it's getting dark now, I'll take a lantern for you and send you to the door of the old house." Shi Zhubao also got up and said.
He saw that his father was getting old, maybe he had drunk too much wine this time, and he was still not at ease when he walked, so he wanted to send him.
"It's just a little bit of a road, I can walk blindfolded, you don't have to worry about me!" Shi Polang shook his head.
Shi Zhubao was not at ease, he first went to the eaves of the porch to take down the lantern, and then reached out to help Shi Polang out of the courtyard door.
Ning Shi cleaned up the melon seed shells and peanut shells they had knocked just now, and then went to the ear room to wash.
When Shi Zhubao came back, Ning told Shi Zhubao about his suspicions.
"I guess your father suddenly came to our house for dinner on the Winter Solstice Festival, and he must have had a conflict with your mother. Ning took a candle and lit it and put it on the lampstand in the bedroom.
"You guessed it, Dad said that my mother talks too much, and the tube is too wide. Shi Zhubao told her.
"Ah, what does my father-in-law mean by that?" It seems that my father-in-law is very dissatisfied with my mother-in-law, oh, what's the matter? Ning was very curious.
"My mother wants to give my fourth brother a concubine. "Shi Zhubao doesn't hide it.
"What??" Ning was surprised when he heard this.
She has a good relationship with Ding Qinghe, she knows Ding Qinghe very well, and she knows that Ding Qinghe is definitely not willing to serve her husband with other women.
"Yes, my father also said that my mother wanted to personally find a candidate for the fourth brother's concubine, my father asked her to take care of the affairs of her son and daughter-in-law's room, and my mother preferred to take care of it. Shi Zhubao also thinks that his mother Yang is nosy, this is all separated, and the son and daughter-in-law's room affairs are her?
Besides, he and his daughter-in-law have a good life, and the fourth brother and his wife have also helped him, so he is very opposed to the Yang family doing the kind of thing that hurts the fourth brother and sister.
"The fourth brother and sister will definitely not approve of taking a concubine for the fourth brother, mother-in-law is a dog with a mouse, nosy, you are right. Ning said with a hum. "If I were the fourth brother and sister, I wouldn't be happy to take a concubine myself, besides, the fourth brother and sister are not unable to give birth. Why do you want to get a concubine to block your heart? Xianggong, do you think I'm right?"
"What the lady said makes sense. "Shi Zhubao doesn't like to look at other women since he was with Ning, so in his heart, he feels that a man and his beloved woman for a lifetime are the simplest happiness.
"Lady, I will never take a concubine!" Shi Zhubao took this opportunity to quickly express his position, the pregnant lady in the province will think crankily when she hears about taking a concubine or something.
"I know, if you want to take a concubine, I'll aim it with scissors and aim it at myself!"
Although Ning said this with a smile, Shi Zhubao knew that when the lady said this, it was definitely not as simple as telling a joke.
"Lady, you don't have to use scissors to yourself, you can just use scissors to stab me to death! I definitely won't take a concubine!" Shi Zhubao reached out and grabbed Ning's soft little hand, and said seriously.
"Okay, okay, I know, you don't have to say any more, look at the smell of wine in your mouth, hurry up and use mint water to taste it!" Ning said to Shi Zhubao.
After Shi Zhubao hummed, he lowered his head and smacked on Ning's face, Ning's smile shyly, but his heart was sweet.
If Ding Qinghe saw this scene, he would definitely say that the woman Ning should be married to love.
Yang saw Shi Polang coming back with a mouth full of wine, and his heart was a little hot again!
"Didn't you say you weren't coming back, what are you doing when you come back at this time?" Yang asked Shi Polang coldly.
"This house has my name on it, what's the matter, my own homestead, I can't live in it?" Shi Polang may have drunk too much, and he dared to talk back to the Yang family at this time.
Yang listened to what Shi Polang said, and he was so angry in his heart, where did Shi Polang dare to talk to himself like this before!
This Shi Po Lang is really getting more and more unreasonable!
"Your mouth is full of wine, it stinks, go away, you go to sleep in the firewood room!" Yang scolded.
"I won't sleep in the firewood room! You sleep in the firewood room!" Shi Polang heard this, his heart was angry, his eyes showed a fierce light, and it was not before, why was she angry and asked herself to sleep in the firewood room again?
This winter solstice festival, the night is cold to death, he goes to sleep in the firewood room like this, and the next day he will definitely freeze and dry.
How is this woman's heart so wicked?
"Shi Polang! I really did a sin in my last life, so I would have the blindness to marry a man like you who has no prospects! Hmph!" The more Yang scolded, the more angry he became, and the more unpleasant his words became.
"Dad, mother, what's wrong with you?" Shi Mujin just wanted to rest, but heard his parents arguing, so he had to put on his coat and open the door to dissuade him.
Shi Polang originally wanted to refute a few words, but when he saw Shi Mujian shivering from the wind, he said: "It's nothing, it's very cold outside, go and settle it!"
Then Shi Polang didn't look at the stinky face that Yang put on, and went back to the house to sleep by himself.
Yang saw that Shi Muhibiscus closed the door and went to sleep, and then saw that Shi Polang had already entered the bedroom, frowned, gritted his teeth again, and finally stopped thinking about continuing to quarrel with Shi Polang.
It's just that this night, the old couple slept under the quilt.
Ding Qinghe was very happy tonight, because her friend Miss Yuan ordered someone to send fifty catties of silver frost charcoal.
Silver frost charcoal is extremely rare, also known as silver bone charcoal, from the charcoal kiln near Shengjing, the best silver frost charcoal is one of the tributes of this dynasty, what is the origin of the Yuan family living in the small nest city?
actually gave her fifty catties in one go. Even if it was just low-grade silver frost charcoal, it would be enough for her family to last a whole winter.
But don't think about such complicated things, since she received the gift, Ding Qinghe is naturally happy, of course, her return gift is also very good, it is the roast lamb chops she made, and a basket of candied kumquat given to her by Chen Mancang.
was happy, who knew that I heard Mrs. Cai say that Granny Huang was not good.
"Sir, madam, the slave seems to have heard Miss Qingdai's cry. You- go and take a look. "Mrs. Cai came to report, she got Ding Qinghe's instructions early in the morning, and asked her to always pay attention to Granny Huang's movements.
Sure enough, as soon as she heard the wind and grass, she came to report it.
Ding Qinghe knew that Granny Huang was not good when he heard it.
Ding Qinghe couldn't help but reddened her eyes, she had already worked hard to treat Granny Huang's illness, but after all, the medical technology here was backward, and she could only use the local method of ginseng to continue her life.
"Uncle, Qingdai's grandmother - her grandmother said she wanted to see you!" At this moment, Ding Qinghe heard the sound of messy footsteps outside the door, yes, it was the sound of Zhu Erniang running in a hurry.
"Lady, what's wrong?" Shi Zhugeng had already taken a shower, and his whole body was wet, but he had already wiped his body with a dry cloth and changed into a clean moon-white middle coat. His long jet-black hair hung down over his shoulders and back, and he had a very lazy feeling.
"Granny Huang...... She's probably tonight, Xianggong, you hurry up and get some more clothes, we still have a lot of things to do in a while. Ding Qinghe nodded at Cai Pozi, waved her hand to let her down, and then turned to Shi Zhugeng and urged.
"Uncle, I'm going to accompany Qingdai. Zhu Erniang is a discerning person, and when she saw that her fourth uncle was looking at herself, she immediately said a word and flashed.
"Lady, is Granny Huang dying?" Shi Zhugeng was told by Ding Qinghe before that Granny Huang's health has not been very good these days, and it is difficult to say whether she can spend this year.
"Well, you hurry up and change your clothes, and I'll go to the courtyard where Granny Huang lives right away. Ding Qinghe frowned and urged.
"It's freezing, walk carefully. Shi Zhugeng said with concern.
"Provincial province. Ding Qinghe hummed, took off the rabbit fur cloak from the screen embroidered with rich peonies next to her, put a set on herself, and walked out of the door quickly, walking towards the east cross courtyard where Granny Huang lived.
"Milk, Aunt Qinghe is here, take a look!" Lai Qingdai choked up while crying.
"Granny Huang......" Ding Qinghe couldn't help crying, although she was used to seeing birth, old age, sickness and death, but she still felt very uncomfortable.
"I ...... Indigo ...... Torr...... You...... It's ......" Granny Huang reached out and grabbed Ding Qinghe's hand, and pleaded with tears, but her speech was a little slurred, but Ding Qinghe could understand what she meant.
No, Ding Qinghe held her hand back and said very resolutely: "Granny Huang, don't worry, I have always treated Qingdai as my own niece, and I will carefully arrange her future relatives, and I will definitely pick a good family for Qingdai!"
"Hmm...... Hmm......" Granny Huang's hand slowly loosened, her eyes were blank, and she slowly closed her eyes.
"...... Woo woo......" Lai Qingdai shouted sadly when she saw that Granny Huang had died.
"Miss Qingdai wants to mourn!" Mrs. Cai couldn't help but reddened her eyes on the side, although she had been here for a short time, but during this time, she had been taking care of Granny Huang, and she was somewhat affectionate.
Caiyun was not very well, so after unloading the table for dinner, she went back early to rest, and after Xiangyun informed her of Granny Huang's situation, she also came over to help.
"Xianggong, if Qingdai cries like this, she will definitely cry badly, you hurry up and think of a way to make her stop crying. Ding Qinghe felt sorry for Lai Qingdai, because Lai Qingdai was holding Granny Huang's body and crying.
Shi Zhugeng nodded, and immediately stepped forward to use his hand as a knife, stunting Lai Qingdai.
"Xiangyun, Caiyun, you came just in time, you all helped Miss Qingdai to rest on her bed, she will wake up tomorrow morning. "Ding Qinghe didn't want to hold a funeral for Granny Huang tomorrow, Qing Dai couldn't cry, the scene was ugly, and some people would say that Qing Dai was not filial piety behind her back.
"Yes, madam, the slave obeys!" Xiangyun Caiyun helped Qing Dai to the house where Qing Dai often rested.
"Lady, now that Granny Huang is gone, what should I do about Granny Huang's funeral?" Shi Zhugeng was very embarrassed.
"Let's do it simply! If it's too grand, the relatives of the Huang family will be annoyed!" Ding Qinghe frowned and said.
"It's not possible, let's put it aside for now, wait for Qingdai to wake up tomorrow morning, and then ask Qingdai, what to do." Shi Zhugeng shook his head and objected.
"Xiang Gong is thoughtful, I listen to you. Ding Qinghe yawned, she was really tired today, she was really tired at this time.
"Then who is guarding here?" Ding Qinghe asked again.
"Madam, the slave and maid are not afraid, let the slave and maid guard tonight. Cai Pozi said.
"It's okay, then I'll bother Mrs. Cai. Ding Qinghe was very satisfied with what Mrs. Cai said, and said in her heart that she didn't find the wrong mother-in-law.
After the arrangements were made, everyone went to rest, leaving only Mrs. Cai here to keep a wake for Granny Huang.
"Old sister, I really envy you for having a good granddaughter, like your old sister, I will be alone, hey!" Mrs. Cai couldn't sleep for a while, and said to herself.
Of course, it was the cold wind outside that answered her.
In this way, Mrs. Cai slowly fell asleep.
The next day, Lai Qingdai also woke up, and she saw that when she woke up, Caiyun and Xiangyun beside the bed were actually accompanying her, which made her very moved.
"It was the lady who asked the slaves and maids to accompany Miss Qingdai. Caiyun explained.
"Madame instructed the slave maid to ask Miss Qingdai, how should Granny Huang's funeral be handled?" Xiangyun then said.
"My father, my father and mother are all gone, I am alone at home, my grandmother's funeral is simple!" Lai Qingdai slept all night and woke up again, although she was very sad in her heart, she knew how to hide her emotions.
When Xiangyun heard this, he said that he would report it to his wife.
Lai Qingdai agreed, and only Caiyun was with her.
"Miss Qingdai, you are a blessed person, although you don't have grandma, father, but you still have the old lady to love you. Caiyun comforted her softly.
"I know, thank you for comforting me. Lai Qingdai's eyes turned red again.
After Lai Qingdai washed up, she went to the earthen stove room to eat a bowl of porridge and then a scallion pancake.
During this period, Ding Qinghe had already instructed his subordinates to prepare all the white cloths for the funeral, hang up what should be hung, and put them on their bodies.
"Qingdai, do you want to report the funeral to your grandmother's father?" Shi Zhugeng asked Lai Qingdai.
"It's been a long time, don't report the funeral!" Lai Qingdai shook her head.
"What about your uncle?" Shi Zhugeng frowned and asked again.
Because if you ask how many people there are, in addition to sending people to report the funeral, you also have to prepare a feast for those people to eat.
"Let's cut off my relatives, I don't want to report any of my mother's relatives!" Lai Qingdai still shook her head.
"Qingdai, I remember that your grandmother also has a daughter who is married far away from Quzhou, that is, your aunt, but you want to report the funeral?" Shi Zhugeng asked again, even Ding Qinghe didn't know about this, because Ding Qinghe had changed his core.
"At the beginning, I had a difficult life with my grandmother, and I didn't see her come back, with her or not, it didn't matter, my grandmother once asked people to send a message to her, and the message she brought back was too far away, so she didn't come back. "Lai Qingdai means not to report the funeral to her aunt Lai Zhenniang, who is married far away in Quzhou.
"This ...... Isn't that good?" Shi Zhugeng twitched the corners of his lips when he heard this.
"Uncle Zhu Geng, thank you for thinking about me, but I'm so poor now, those snobbish relatives will definitely not come. "What Lai Qingdai means is that they will definitely save money for mourning.
"Okay, just do as you say!" Shi Zhugeng said, feeling very sorry for this girl who has no father and no mother.
Because Qingdai asked for a simple funeral for Granny Huang, Granny Huang's body was placed in the east courtyard of Ding's house for a day, and the next day she invited a feng shui gentleman to find a good feng shui place to bury her.
"Thank you Uncle Zhu Geng and Aunt Qinghe for giving my grandmother a funeral, the money for the good coffin, when I save enough money, I will pay it back. After Granny Huang's funeral was over, Lai Qingdai respectfully knelt down to Shi Zhugeng and Ding Qinghe, and kowtowed to them three times.
"Hurry up, you kid, look at you for the past two days, because of the death of your grandmother, you haven't eaten well, and you have lost weight. Ding Qinghe raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly helped her up to speak, and said movingly.
"Well, Erniang also said that I would look better if I was thinner. Lai Qingdai got up, her face was pale, and her voice was very quiet.
"In the past few days, you have a good rest at home, and you don't go to the Jixiang Medical Center for the time being. Wait for your body to recuperate, and then go to work at the Jixiang Medical Center. Ding Qinghe was also concerned about her when she said this.
"No, I'm resting well, I can go to work at the Jixiang Medical Center starting tomorrow. Lai Qingdai shook her head and said resolutely.
"That's okay, you can go tomorrow, it's just that your grandmother is gone, you have to keep filial piety for three years before you can say goodbye, this is ...... It's a bit late. Ding Qinghe was worried about her and said.
"I just need to scrape together enough money for my dowry. Lai Qingdai shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently.
"Hey, you kid is so distressing. Shi Zhugeng sighed when he heard this.
"I think you can marry Qing Dai first, and then let them marry after three years, isn't it?" Ding Qinghe thought for a while and said.
"It's still a smart lady. Shi Zhu Geng praised.
Two days later, Yang learned that Shi Zhugeng helped Granny Huang with the funeral at home, which made Yang angry.
"My stupid son, how can you help others with funerals in your own home!
She said this to Shi Muhibiscus.
"Mother, the fourth brother and sister-in-law are getting along well with Granny Huang's grandchildren, this Granny Huang is gone, and it is normal for the two of them to help with the funeral. Why are you saying so ugly? Shi Muhibiscus put down the needlework in his hand, got up to pour tea for Yang, and said.
Shi Mujin spoke so much for the fourth brother and four sisters-in-law because Shi Mujian heard that his fiancé Chen Mancang did a good job in the Jixiang Medical Center, and even the candied kumquat made by his future mother-in-law also sold well, and it is said that even the young lady of Yuanfu, a big family in Chaocheng, also loves to eat the candied kumquat.
Shi Mujin felt that this was the fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law helping her and Chen Mancang, so she was also willing to help the fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law say good things on the side of her mother Yang, so as to ease the relationship between the fourth sister-in-law and her mother-in-law and her mother-in-law Yang.
