Chapter 185
Approaching the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Ji gave birth to a son, Uncle Ji almost went to the house happily, and Xiao Ji's account room was also very happy. Uncle Ji gave his eldest son hundreds of names, and he couldn't pick out which one was better for a while, so he gave his eldest son a nickname "Brother La" and called it. The baptism ceremony was lively, but the Ji family had no relatives in the border city, and when Mrs. Ji was confined, she entrusted the family furniture to Mr. Su.
Mr. Su is already proficient in medical skills, not to mention that there are not many affairs of the Ji family, so Mr. Su does not even have to delay the course, and he is well organized. Mrs. Xia often went to visit Mrs. Ji, and when she came back, she chatted with her husband, "Mr. Su is not obvious, and the housekeeper is a good hand, and the strange daughter-in-law asked our sister Yu to go over and study with Mr., she doesn't have to have the ability of a husband, and she won't worry about learning half of it." ”
Master Xia smiled, "This is the truth that people are virtuous and virtuous." Then he asked his wife, "How are the preparations for the New Year?" The daughter-in-law is busy with the affairs of the medicine hall, so you should watch and prepare. The daughter-in-law passed the door for the first year, and she should not be too frugal. ”
Mrs. Xia smiled, "I don't know." Thinking that the eldest son still handed over the monthly salary to herself, Mrs. Xia felt comfortable from the bottom of her heart, and felt that this daughter-in-law was really agreeable, and she was not stingy at all. After a few years, you will be able to save up the dowry of your second son.
There are a lot of things to prepare for the New Year, although he went to the border city, Master Xia also made the ancestral tablet to worship the New Year's Festival. Old Master Xia took his two sons to scrub the dishes offered to the ancestors, and Mrs. Xia took Zhao Changqing to prepare sacrifices for the ancestors, as well as food for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Xia Yu followed, Zhao Changqing was not unfamiliar with cooking, but he was served by a maid in the past, and he didn't cook often. Now it is very neat to prepare these things. Mrs. Xia watched it attentively and became more and more satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
After his house was ready, Zhao Changqing said to Mrs. Xia, "Mother-in-law, I'll go to Brother Ji's house to see if his house is ready." "Mrs. Ji is still in confinement, and she can't get up, so Mr. Su helps take care of her.
Mrs. Xia smiled, "Go ahead." ”
Xia Yu said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you." ”
Zhao Changqing went to Ji's house again, and when he saw that he was almost ready, he said a few words to Mr. Su and went home. Xia Yu stayed in the Ji family to play with Sister Fu.
On the good day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone is happily preparing for the New Year. Mrs. Xia went out to find Xia Yu to go home, and as soon as she went out of the gate, she saw her neighbor Mrs. Lin's eyes red and wandering around the street, Mrs. Xia had a good temper, and she got along well with the neighbors, so she hurriedly invited Mrs. Lin's house to come, Mrs. Lin held back her tears and said, "On the day of the New Year, I have nowhere to go, so I want to stand outside, and my heart can be happier." ”
Mrs. Xia poured tea for Mrs. Lin and said, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" ”
Mrs. Lin choked up and said, "It's embarrassing to say it, don't say that I'm very depressed in my heart." Since the autumn, my daughter-in-law went back to her parents' house, and Brother Xu went to pick it up twice and didn't come back, and now the New Year is going to be spent at her parents' house. What's the point of living this day? ”
Mrs. Xia asked, "Hey, where is the little couple who have to quarrel, and then ask Ah Xu to go and come back." ”
Mrs. Lin was just about to speak, Lin Xu came to find her, Mrs. Lin was busy wiping away her tears, she was fine, and smiled, "I just saw your aunt, I came over to talk for a while, and you came here." ”
Lin Xu came with his daughter, how could he not see that there were still tears in his mother's eyes, Lin Xu's heart was sour, and he only didn't see it, and smiled, "The things are almost ready for the next year, I think that the firecrackers haven't been bought yet, come and tell your mother, I'll buy a few whips." ”
Mrs. Lin smiled, "Okay, let's go." Let's play with my grandmother. ”
The big girl has a milky voice and is very clingy to her father, "I went with my father to buy firecrackers." ”
After saying a few words, Lin Xu took his daughter to buy firecrackers. As soon as the father and daughter left, Mrs. Lin's tears fell, and Mrs. Xia persuaded, "Young couples, there is no one who doesn't talk about each other." Da Niu Niu is so satisfying, Brother Xu is also filial to you, you should relax your heart. Otherwise, the child will know and blame himself. ”
Mrs. Lin wiped away her tears and said, "I looked away at the beginning and delayed Ah Xu." ”
Lin Xu went to pick up Ling Sanjie twice, but Ling Sanjie refused to come back, and during the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Lin nagged Lin Xu twice again, asking him to pick up Ling Sanjie home, but Lin Xu refused to go.
In fact, Third Sister Ling is also anxious about this matter.
Ling Teng had already said to her, "Don't finish it!" Everything has been done, and there are times when you regret it! ”
Third Sister Ling had a hard mouth at that time, and she was also thinking in her heart, when Lin Xu came to pick her up again, she followed Lin Xu back. As a result, Lin Xu refused to come. In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Ling Sanjie looked straight at her neck for a day, and Lin Xu did not come. Second Mrs. Ling was also anxious, and instructed her son, "If the unmarried girl is celebrating the New Year at her mother's house, send your sister back." Talk to your brother-in-law, don't be like her. ”
Third Sister Ling said stiffly, "I won't go back!" I'm celebrating the New Year at my parents' house! ”
Ling Teng said, "If you don't want to pass, just leave, save Ah Xu from delaying." I was really redundant to tell you about this family business. ”
Third Sister Ling said, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to stand these sufferings!" ”
Ling Teng's face turned cold, he raised his feet and went out, ignoring Third Sister Ling. Third Sister Ling looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, "Mother, look at Ah Teng, look at Ah Teng, I only know that I am biased towards outsiders, who is his sister?" ”
Second Mrs. Ling also lost her temper with her daughter, and said, "What are you going to do?" No matter how angry you are with your son-in-law, there must be a limit, I'm really angry, how will I live in the next few decades. ”
Third Sister Ling said aggrievedly, "He should always come and pick me up and give me a step down." ”
Second Mrs. Ling said, "Didn't your son-in-law come?" You just won't go back with him! Slapping the table, "Hurry up, pack your things, and go back by yourself!" ”
"I don't!" Third Sister Ling said stubbornly, "Then I'm too faceless!" ”
Third Sister Ling didn't go back to her mother-in-law's house, she wanted her to save face, and after the fifth day of the new year, Lin Xu personally sent and left the book. Second Uncle Ling was stupid, pinching and leaving the book, his face changed greatly, and said, "Son-in-law, this, what does this mean?" ”
Lin Xu said quietly, "I am incompetent and talentless, I am ashamed of myself, and I can't match my daughter." Since last year, Ling Qianjin has moved back to her parents' house. I thought about it, now that she is still young, the family that has a good chance to marry is also in a hurry, and it is not too much delay. ”
Even if Second Uncle Ling was not good at words, he couldn't help but say at this time, "Third Sister is a quick temper, and she has you in her heart." Young couples, even if they occasionally have a red face, they will not be so angry. I'll call her out and let her apologize to you, and you can go back and live a good life. ”
Lin Xu got up and saluted, "I don't agree with the third sister, my family is poor, and I really wronged her." Now I really don't want to delay her youth anymore, and I hope you will fulfill it. ”
Second Uncle Ling couldn't resist it, so he invited his almighty son Ling Teng to come over and get an idea.
Ling Teng was not happy to take care of Third Sister Ling's affairs anymore, but gave Lin Xu a salute, and said ashamedly, "Because I admired Brother Lin's character at the beginning, I married the two families, my sister is not sensible, I mistook Brother Lin." ”
Lin Xu and Ling Teng have always been good friends, so when he came here, Lin Xu also felt sad, he was not subject to Ling Teng's courtesy, he helped Ling Teng up, his eyes were slightly red, "Husband and wife also depend on fate, I have no fate with Sister Ling, and my life is not the same, and I am ashamed of the trust of my virtuous brother in the past." ”
This matter can't be hidden from the family, Ling Teng ordered someone to invite Ling Second Wife and Ling Third Sister to come over, and when Ling Third Sister heard that Lin Xu wanted to reconcile, she was immediately furious, rushed over and beat Lin Xu, crying and shouting, "You conscienceless dog!" You eat me and drink mine, dare to reconcile with me! ”
Lin Xu didn't dodge or dodge, and his face immediately bloomed. It was still Mrs. Ling Er who grabbed the furious Ling Third Sister and slapped Ling Third Sister to the ground, and Second Mrs. Ling scolded, "I don't have a daughter like you anymore!" Follow your father at home, marry your husband! Even if I die of illness, I don't need you to serve the sick, since you are married, you should take your mother-in-law's family as the foundation, serve your mother-in-law and serve your husband! You say, how did you do it! Now that the son-in-law is here, you kneel for me, and the son-in-law won't tell you to get up, you won't be allowed to get up! If your son-in-law doesn't want you, you will die! Our old Ling family, a girl who has never been separated! When she said this, Second Mrs. Ling obviously forgot Second Sister Ling, and Second Mrs. Ling didn't even beat a single one, and turned to Lin Xu, "I, an untalented daughter, have caused trouble for my son-in-law!" In an ordinary life, when there are still upper teeth knocking on lower teeth, where there is smooth sailing! The third sister is not good, she gave birth to a big girl for you, she is at fault, you beat her and scold her to teach her to understand, you can't send and leave the book directly like this! I'd rather you send a knife to stab her to death, and I can't watch you reconcile! ”
Lin Xu and Lishu have both written, dare to come over, it is not something that Second Mrs. Ling can reverse. Lin Xu said indifferently, "Since the third sister married into the Han family, the food and drink are all from the Han family, but the year before last, I went to Gansu Mansion and took one hundred taels of silver from her, and now I have made up for it." Her dowry has been counted, and when Brother Ling is free, she can bring her home if she counts it correctly in the past. ”
After Lin Xu finished speaking, he left.
Second Mrs. Ling picked up Third Sister Ling from the ground, beat her, and said, "Go!" Go back with your son-in-law! ”
Third Sister Ling just closed her eyes and grinned and cried, Second Mrs. Ling cried, "How can I repair a useless thing like you!" He also cried heart-wrenching.
Second Mrs. Ling has always been a person who does not admit defeat, she beat Third Sister Ling and cried, Mrs. Ling knew about this and scolded a few times, "Evil obstacles!" Evil creature! ", dragged Second Uncle Ling to the study and scolded a bloody dog. Mrs. Ling scolded Third Sister Ling once, and then went to her daughter's house to cry, "I have never seen such a girl who doesn't know how to cherish her fortunes." Although the Lin family is not a wealthy family, there is no shortage of food and drink. I was angry with my son-in-law a few years ago, and I didn't go back after two trips, but now my son-in-law has sent and left the book, what should I do? ”
Ling Shi was startled and hurriedly asked, "The third sister is leaving?" ”
In front of her daughter, there was nothing bad to say, Mrs. Ling wiped away her tears and said, "It's nice to say that peace and separation are good, people don't want her anymore." ”
Ling Shi exclaimed, "What's the matter, Mrs. Lin has a good temper and often comes to talk to our old lady." What's wrong with the third sister, the married daughter, where can she live in her mother's house for a long time, between the young husband and wife, after a long separation, won't you have a separation? "Since the Ling family married Zhao Yong, they have never returned to their parents' house to live, and they can't look down on Ling Sanjie's thing of living in her mother's house for several months. Feelings are all out of place, between husband and wife, quarrels are not nothing, but if you go back to your parents' house when you are angry, and the husband and wife are not in the same place, there is nothing that hurts your feelings.
"Who's to say it's not." Old Lady Ling cried, "The second sister's in-laws are still unsettled, and the third sister is like this, there is no such thing as our family in the family, this day is really not to be over." ”
Ling Shi hurriedly persuaded his mother countless good words, and said, "I think about it, this is not enough, it is nothing more than this tone of gambling, and the big girl, for the sake of the child's face, this day has to go on." ”
Old Lady Ling said, "I think about it, you are still familiar with the Lin family, and if our mother and daughter come forward and say some good things to the Lin family, there should be room for redemption." ”
Although the Ling family has never liked Third Sister Ling, thinking of Third Sister Ling's young and parting, he also couldn't bear it, and said, "Mother said this, I have to go." If the young couple can reconcile, they will have a good life in the future. ”
Old Lady Ling said hatefully, "If you don't know how to live like this, I don't care if that girl lives or dies!" ”
Second Mrs. Ling taught Second Sister Ling at home, "Tell me, what are your shortcomings!" How about Changqing, everything is better than you, and he just married a poor species! The son-in-law has already won the examination at a young age, and after a few more years, he will be a good day for you! Are you stupid! ”
Third Sister Ling is also a strange person, she was sad, she didn't need to be persuaded by anyone, she was already transparent, and said, "Examine the people, take the exams!" When I first married him, my mother said that he had a chance! I've been working hard for the past few years, and I haven't even come out of the test after all! When I went to Fucheng the year before last, I gave him a hundred taels, otherwise how would he eat and drink two years younger! This time you will turn your face with me! Harmony is divorce, is there no man in the world without him! I want to see what kind of fairy beauty he can marry after he leaves! ”
Mrs. Ling Er fell down in anger.
Third Sister Ling's face was still a little swollen, but it didn't hinder her from speaking, and said, "What do I compare with Changqing, you can see how considerate Doctor Xia is to Changqing!" Changqing took a sip of tea, and Dr. Xia had to taste the cold and heat first! You can't drink cold tea, and hot tea is afraid of burning! I don't have to ask him to give me a cup of tea, has he ever poured me a cup of tea! Now I've seen through it! I didn't go down to apologize to him, and I left with him! And divorced, I'll marry a better one! Enjoy a lifetime of happiness! ”
Second Mrs. Ling said angrily, "You haven't seen your second sister, what kind of good family can you marry if you leave!" ”
Third Sister Ling said, "I see that the people I told the second sister are better than the Lin family." "Third Sister Ling is a person with an active heart, Second Sister Ling has been away for several years, and there are constantly matchmakers coming to the door, she knows it. There are also some good people, but Second Sister Ling is reluctant, and Third Sister Ling doesn't laugh at Second Sister Ling for being stupid behind her back. Now that I think about it, instead of going back to the Lin family to suffer the cowardship of the mother and son, it is better to wear a Luo skirt and marry someone else. Her brother is now from a wealthy background, she remarries, marries a solid family, and is angry with the Lin family!
Second Mrs. Ling asked, "Where's the big girl!" That's the meat that fell off your body! ”
Third Sister Ling's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Even if I want her, I'm afraid the Lin family won't give it." ”
The mother and daughter talked about it, and Third Sister Ling didn't want to get back together, so she just wanted to reconcile and leave. When Mrs. Ling came back from her daughter's house, when she heard about this, she couldn't help but be angry again, she was extremely disappointed in Third Sister Ling, she was disheartened, and she didn't want to care about her business anymore. When Ling heard this, he frowned and stopped mentioning it.
After the Ling family took away the dowry, Mrs. Lin fell ill in the end, but fortunately, the Lin family and the Xia family came together, and it was very convenient to invite a doctor. Lin Xuri is sick at home, there is not even a girl at home, and no one takes the big girl, so he really doesn't look like a family who lives a life. Zhao Changqing thought about it, and after discussing with Mrs. Ji, he put the big girl in the Ji family, followed Mr. Su to study with Sister Fu and Xia Yu, and sent Yongfu to help.
Mrs. Lin was grateful and uneasy, and Zhao Changqing gently persuaded, "Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, not to mention that I have long been familiar with my eldest mother." Brother Lin is a man, and he is a good hand at holding a pen, so these trivial things are not as good as the girls. If the eldest lady is uneasy and the disease is not well recovered, Brother Lin will be even more worried in his heart. It's the relationship between Brother Lin and my third cousin, and the marriage in the world, it's not that there is no fate. Now that he is leaving, it is also for the sake of their own better lives, the eldest mother will take care of her body, and then tell Brother Lin a good family matter, and it will be complete. ”
Mrs. Lin sighed, "I'm such a sick man, my family is surrounded by walls, who is willing to marry." ”
Xia Wen came in from outside and said, "Auntie, I haven't met a good one, and then I will say goodbye to Brother Lin, and it will be safe to say it according to the character of my family." ”
Mrs. Lin smiled, "There are a few people who have a good life like you." "I also know in my heart that the Xia family has come thousands of miles and traveled all the way, and I don't know how much hardship they have suffered.
Zhao Changqing said angrily, "Auntie, don't pay attention to him, people are crazy." ”
Xia Wen checked Mrs. Lin's pulse, redrafted a prescription, and said, "I'll ask Liangdong to bring the medicine tomorrow, and it will be almost the same if I drink it for a few more days." In the future, it will be easy to maintain and slowly go to the roots. ”
Lin Xu thanked him, Xia Wen said, "This is a separation, who are we with whom, when my family first moved here, there was no lack of care from Aunt Lin, and now I can do my best, I am not happy." Xia Wen had already enlightened Lin Xu and said that it was hard, but no one was hard. Perhaps, the world is so hard, it is better, it is better; It's not good, but it's going to be over.
