Chapter 39: If You Get Old
Where is Dong Rong's sharp-tongued opponent, when he heard this, he was so ashamed that he immediately stretched out his hand to cover his face, and scolded with a smile, "You girl, why do you say anything!" β
Dong Rong smiled and stepped forward to help set the dishes and chopsticks, and finally put the thinly sliced sauced beef bought in the city on the plate. The cuckoo is not a greedy eater on weekdays, but today he couldn't bear to smell the aroma of the beef, and his fingers didn't obey the call and directly pinched a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, but he didn't chew it a few times and spit it out suddenly.
Dong Rong was so shocked that she hurriedly patted her back and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" But the beef doesn't taste right? β
The cuckoo retched a few bites, frowning and thinking about it while wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, but at the end, his eyes lit up, and he blushed and said, "The beef is not bad, Xu is... Hmm..."
Dong Rong is also a smart and clever person, and she guessed the reason almost at the same time as she asked, and the appearance of seeing the cuckoo again at this time is even more certain. She clapped her hands happily and smiled, "Congratulations to my sister-in-law on being a mother again, haha, I should really go to set up a stall on the street to tell fortunes, the iron mouth is straightforward." β
The cuckoo also covered his mouth and laughed, "Accept your auspicious words, if you really give birth to a kid this time, your cousin and I will have no extravagant hopes." β
The two of them were laughing happily, and when they saw Wang Lu coming back from the delivery cart outside, they also laughed and rubbed their hands when they heard such good news. After the four of them sat around for lunch, Dong Rong took the stupid pillar back to the orchard under the pretext of having a job, and completely left the small courtyard to the cuckoo couple who were fathers and mothers again.
The cuckoo picked up the dishes and chopsticks and then sat at the stone table to do needlework, seeing that the corners of her man's mouth were almost grinning to the root of his ears, and he was doing his work to make the wind under his feet, she would say two words of resentment from time to time, but her heart was as happy as eating honey.
Now that there are black eggs in the family, even if this child is not a son, it is not bad if it is a little girl. In the past, she may have been a little patriarchal, looking forward to having more children and more blessings, but in the past few months, seeing that Dong Rong is so shrewd and capable, she has also accepted her prejudice and began to look forward to having another good daughter.
didn't mention how the cuckoo couple were happy, just said that Dong Rong and Silly Zhu walked side by side on the way back to the orchard. Dong Rong thought of the happy appearance of the cuckoo stroking her belly, and she was very envious for no reason. For a woman, many times, men may be unreliable, and only the child born from her own womb is the most real. Especially in this time and space of male supremacy, I have never heard of a man who treats his wife harshly because of his beauty, and there is no son who is not filial to the old lady.
These days, she is desperately trying to make money, trying to make herself eat and drink well, and even sending her younger brother to study, in fact, she is just looking for a sense of saving. She is trying to forget the past and integrate into this strange time and space. But when she woke up in the middle of countless nights, tears in the corners of her eyes told her that there was still a long way to go.
Perhaps, only when she really regards herself as a citizen of Da Zhao, truly falls in love with someone in this time and space, and gives birth to one or several love crystals, her frightened and lonely soul will completely stop.
And the person who can make her fall in love and willingly conceive a bloodline for him is the man beside her who is handsome in appearance and pure in mind like a child?
Silly Zhu walked on the mountain road, thinking that he would find an opportunity to see Mr. in the next few days. I can't say that I have to be teased by his old man, but if he can come to the door with a good wine, his old man will definitely smile immediately. He was thinking about it, and suddenly found that his hand was held by the woman next to him, so he hurriedly changed his honest look and asked, "Are you tired?" I'll carry you! β
Dong Rong didn't speak, just hugged his arm and walked slowly, and after a long time, he whispered, "I'm not tired, I'm just thinking about what we will become in a few decades?" β
Silly Zhu frowned as if he was trying to think for a long time, and finally said, "When you get old, you become ugly, just like Liu Erma in the west of the village." β
Second grandmother Liu? Is it the hunchbacked old lady who walks tremblingly and wrinkled with a wrinkled face? Dong Rong shook her head fiercely and said angrily, "I'm just old and a dignified and elegant old lady, how can I be so ugly?" But you're going to be an ugly and stupid old man! β
Silly Zhu scratched his head, as if he didn't know where he said something wrong and annoyed his daughter-in-law, he hurriedly remedied, "No matter how old you are, I don't dislike you." β
"You don't dislike me, do you? I hate you! Dong Rong was so angry that she couldn't cry or laugh, stomped her feet and jumped directly on the back of the stupid pillar, grabbed his neck with both hands and shouted, "You made me angry, punish you for carrying me down the mountain!" β
"Okay." Silly Zhu responded as usual, and carefully carried his daughter-in-law and continued to hurry. Dong Rong lay on his back, and heard his steady and powerful heartbeat in his ears, and for some reason remembered the negative man in his previous life.
That man had written poems for her, sang songs with a guitar, sent roses to the crowd, and had done almost all the romantic things that could move a girl to tears, otherwise she would not have let him squeeze him for five or six years. It's a pity that in the end, it was this amorous person who gave her the most heartless ending.
She thought that her heart would no longer thaw for anyone, and she would no longer have the luxury of hoping to fall in love with anyone until she grew old. But at this moment, I don't know if it's because Silly Zhu is too simple and honest or his back is too stable and warm, she suddenly wants to muster up the courage to try again, even if it ends in failure in the end, it's much better than regretting missing it...
Silly Zhu walked slowly on the mountain road, and the sound of breathing behind him gradually became soft and long, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and his feet walked more and more slowly...
Xu is relationship that has been busy since getting up early, Dong Rong slept very sweetly on the back of the stupid pillar, and when she woke up, she suddenly saw the peach tree close at hand, she immediately jumped off the back of the stupid pillar with a scream, half distressed and half complaining, "You fool, why don't you wake me up?" How tiring it is to carry it so far! β
Silly Zhu shook his head with a smile, and finally reached out and wiped his shoulder and said, "You're drooling!" β
Dong Rong blushed, and hurriedly wiped the corners of her mouth to justify, "Nonsense, I never drool!" β
Silly Zhu was not convinced, and pulled her shirt hard to ask her to see clearly. Dong Rong's face turned even redder, turned her head and ran up the mountain, "If I say no, there will be no one, you will lie to me again, and I won't give you stewed braised pork to eat in the future." β
Silly Zhu loves to pour rice with braised meat gravy, and when he heard this, he immediately shouted, "You didn't drool, you didn't drool!" After speaking, he was afraid that others would misunderstand, so he shouted at the mountain, "My daughter-in-law is not drooling, I want to eat braised pork!" β
Dong Rong, who was climbing the mountain road, heard this, stumbled under her feet and almost fell on her stomach, she hurriedly turned around and ran back to cover the mouth of the stupid pillar, and begged for mercy again and again, "Ancestor, I admit defeat, I will make you braised pork tomorrow, you hurry up and shut up!" β
Xu is wish was fulfilled, and the stupid Zhu was extremely obedient and immediately closed his mouth, looking like he was beaten to death and did not open his mouth. Dong Rong was really angry and funny, beating her head and muttering while pulling him up the mountain, "Sometimes I really don't understand, who is the fool between us!" β
Silly Zhu looked at the annoyed woman in front of him, the smile in the depths of his eyes was almost overflowing, and when he looked up again, the mountains and forests that he was tired of looking at in the past seemed to be alive, and they were extremely beautiful and verdant...
The young couple went up the mountain one after the other, and Dong Rong felt strange along the way, why didn't she see the handymen carrying water and dung, but when they climbed to the top of the mountain, they all understood.
At the door of the three huts, Sister Cao's little square table with the pear blossom tree in her hand was standing in one foot in the door and one foot outside the door, obviously coming to the door to "rob". Second Sister Cao desperately held her arm with both hands and begged, "Eldest sister, sister-in-law is not at home, you can't take her things?" β
Sister Cao impatiently shook off her sister's hand, and said angrily, "You stupid girl, I took it when she wasn't at home!" If she's at home, let alone wood, hmph, she can't give me a single thorn in the grass. β
"That's not good, sister, I beg you, put the things back..." Second Sister Cao was so anxious that her little face turned pale, and she was about to cry when she saw it. It's all because she's stupid, what kind of temper her sister has on weekdays, she knows best, why she took her to deliver food to her sister-in-law with her in a ghostly way. If she really empties her sister-in-law's house, what face will she have to get along with her sister-in-law in the future?
Zhao Qingshan and the others were holding baskets and other things in their hands, and they all had a sad face. They had the heart to step forward to help stop it, but they felt that this was the Cao family's housework, and they outsiders were not qualified to interfere. But no matter what, I was afraid that the owner would come back and complain, so I could only block the mountain road, hoping that this would barely drag Sister Cao's hind legs.
Sister Cao was also a little anxious when she was stopped by her sister for so long, she threw Xiao Fang Ji in annoyance, and said angrily, "Are your surnames Cao or Dong?" You're my sister-in-law, actually helping that vixen? β
"Who is this vixen in the mouth of the eldest sister?" Dong Rong squinted her eyes slightly, a sneer hung on the corner of her mouth, and asked slowly as she walked. Everyone turned around in shock, the handymen all breathed a sigh of relief, but Sister Cao was embarrassed.
But she is worthy of being known for her thick skin, and when she rolled her eyes, she reached out and picked up the small kang table lying on the ground, and counted her sister while pulling her sleeves and wiping them, "If you want to lose your temper, you can play at home, how can you just take your sister-in-law's belongings to get angry?" You see, all the good things have been marked. β
After speaking, she flatteringly handed the small kang to Dong Rong, who came closer, and said with a smile, "Sister Rong is back, I'm tired all the way, come into the house and rest." β
Second Sister Cao's eyes were red with grievances, although she was naΓ―ve, she also understood that her sister was using her as a raft, and she had the heart to refute and couldn't bear to embarrass her sister, so she could only endure it as much as she could.
Dong Rong didn't plan to save face for Sister Cao, she dragged the small kang and threw it to the stupid pillar behind her, and said loudly, "Pillar, send things to the house, remember to remind me to lock the door in the future." There is a way that thieves are difficult to prevent, don't come back one day and find that even the dishes for eating have been emptied. β
"Whoever dares to touch our family, I will discount her legs!" Silly Zhu waved the small kang in his hand a dozen times before sending it into the house. Dong Rong also ignored the embarrassed Sister Cao, and directly took Second Sister Cao's hand and smiled, "Sister, why are you here?" If there is something wrong at home, ask a neighbor to help deliver a letter. You're not in good health, don't get tired. β
Second Sister Cao heard that her sister-in-law felt sorry for her, her face was much better, and she hurriedly responded, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about me, I don't cough badly these days." I was worried that you and my brother would have no vegetables to eat, so we went to the garden to pick some and brought them in. After speaking, she looked at the sister on the side and whispered, "Well, I met the eldest sister halfway, and she was afraid that I would be tired..."
