377 The young couple is becoming more and more like a husband and wife
377 young couples, more and more like husband and wife
The women are busy late in the evening, and tomorrow is Liu Shenjiang's birthday, and many people will come to give birthday gifts, and many things have to be prepared in advance.
Ma Shi was preparing tomorrow's dishes in the kitchen, and although he was busy, he had a smile on his face. Not only for the old man's birthday, but also for the daughter and son-in-law to come back, the momentum of development seems to be good, and the family is very harmonious, there is nothing more happy for her than these things.
Liu Shenjiang was also in a good mood, his son and son-in-law were chatting together, and he, an old man, was restrained when he sat and the young man was restrained when he spoke, so he simply went to the kitchen to accompany his wife.
With Ma's here, the old man has never been in the kitchen in his life. The big and small things in the family are covered by Ma alone, and the old man doesn't ask about things. Ma also did his best to Liu Shenjiang, always leaving the best for him, and never bothered him about family affairs. Liu Shenjiang has always believed that having such a wife is his greatest blessing.
Liu Shenjiang couldn't help much in the kitchen, the two old men were chatting there, and they also helped Ma Shi pass the time.
Liu Yinxing and Li Banxia are busy preparing for the return gift for tomorrow's birthday, how many families will come, calculate in advance, wrap them separately, and give them directly when their relatives go back tomorrow. Many people are in a hurry to get home, and when the time comes, it is often a haste to prepare for this.
There are not many beds at home, and people often worry about housing problems when they get home. There is only one extra bed in the house, and everyone usually sleeps on this bed. Liu Yinxing returned to her parents' house, but she didn't want to share a bed with Zhao Chenzong, and when they were at home, they could be as far apart as they could. What's more, when I returned to my parents' home, I didn't want to suffer this kind of sin.
Originally, it was planned that way, Liu Yinxing and Ma slept, and the two of them slept just enough to talk about their in-laws' affairs. Zhao Chenzong squeezed Liu Shenjiang for a night, which was more appropriate. It's just that this Liu Shenjiang is snoring when he sleeps, and the snoring sound is earth-shattering, Ma has been used to it for so many years. It doesn't mean that others are used to it.
Zhao Chenzong is a very light sleeper when he sleeps, and if there is a little noise, he will not be able to sleep. discussed and discussed, and finally simply let Zhao Chenzong and Liu Dongshan sleep together, and Liu Yinxing and Li Banxia squeezed together for a night. Liu Dongshan sleeps very honestly. There are very few times to turn over at night, so it's the most suitable.
It was already very late, and my sister-in-law and sister-in-law had endless things to say, and it was already midnight when they went to bed. The next day, everyone still had to get up early, but there weren't many opportunities for my sister-in-law to meet and talk like this. As he spoke, he forgot the hour.
On the second day, there were more guests, some came to pay New Year's greetings, and some came to give birthday gifts. There are many relatives of the Liu family. Many relatives came, and they greeted the two old men for a while as usual, and then went to the room to greet the Liu brothers. Seeing Ginkgo's husband is also here. They all gathered around and spoke eagerly to him.
Zhao Chenzong felt that he was like a juggling monkey, but today, he seemed to be unable to escape if he wanted to. Because there are so many people, no matter where he is, someone will come up and talk to him.
At last. Zhao Chenzong simply became generous, and stood there honestly, having something to say, which was much more natural.
When eating, my uncle should have eaten at the table, but it was also interesting for Zhao Chenzong to watch people running back and forth with trays. When he was at the table, he had to drink with everyone, everyone saw that he was the new aunt, you have a cup and I have a drink, so I have to have a drink with him. That posture, rushing to love is like a wheel war, if you don't get drunk here, I'm afraid you have to drink down.
Zhao Chenzong likes to drink, but he doesn't like others to drink. It doesn't matter if he wants to drink himself, it's okay if he gets drunk, but if someone else asks him to drink, he will be really unhappy. He is a person with this character, of course he can't say this, these big men are all drunk, so whether they are new aunts or not, they don't give him a good look.
On the other hand, the wine he drank was very expensive and good, and the wine that the Liu family drank was really not of high grade, and it would be embarrassing for him to drink a few sips, not to mention the cow drink? This is a little better, although Zhao Chenzong didn't like these, he didn't show it. He was trying to accept this, after all, he couldn't ask everyone to have the same conditions as the Zhao family. Moreover, these are the most unpleasant things and the most unacceptable.
It was for this reason that he went to Liu's house several times before, but every time he broke up unhappily. If it weren't for Zhao Dushan on the side, maybe the relationship between the two families would only be more stiff.
In the end, let Liu Xishan go to the table to help accompany the wine, and he helped serve the dishes. Ma is naturally reluctant to let his uncle do this, there are so many people in the family, in addition to the two brothers in Dongshan and Xishan, there are many family teams, and there are so many people serving food, where do you need your uncle to do this?
Helplessly, Zhao Chenzong insisted, he hadn't done this on weekdays, and he would rather walk around more below than drink with a group of people at the table. Just like many children like to be lively when there are many people, scrambling to serve food to everyone, Zhao Chenzong is currently in this psychology.
Ma Shi still wanted to say more, but he always felt that this was inappropriate, Liu Yinxing called her back, "Mother, just let him go" It is better to let him do something, so as not to have nothing to do all day long, like a wandering spirit wandering around. Just let him do something, and she promised that he would retreat if he couldn't run a few times and couldn't serve two dishes.
He is such a person, a big young master, he has no perseverance in doing anything, and he can't endure hardship. Whatever you do, you are tired of yelling, even if it is easy, it is this virtue.
In Liu Yinxing's heart, Zhao Chenzong is such a person. Even if she is more kind to him now, it can't change Zhao Chenzong's deep-rooted impression in her heart.
The relatives of the Liu family set up a total of eight tables, four bowls of dishes each time, and two rounds after one dish was served.
Don't look at just a few dishes, it's weird to hold it, the Liu family served the dishes quickly, and Zhao Chenzong didn't have to rest, so there were several dishes in total. Gradually, the eldest young master felt tired, and his hands were sore.
As soon as Liu Yinxing saw him like this, she knew that he couldn't do it, and she didn't want to pay attention to it, so she left him to go. She knew that he was this virtue.
Ma Shi stir-fried the vegetables. While looking at my uncle's tired appearance and eager to shake the tray off his hand, he said to the ginkgo behind the stove: "Ginkgo, I see that my uncle has never done these things, and he is tired after running for so long." You go and call your second brother off the table and let him serve the food. ”
"He's really, a big man, and he only served a few dishes. This won't work," Liu Ginkgo muttered in a low voice. She was right, she was a big young master, and she was so big that she couldn't do things at all. Eating, drinking, having fun, and spending money has his share, and he has no real skills at all.
In the past, Liu Yinxing was too lazy to care about him. Even if he is a wine bag and rice bag, she is too lazy to talk, but once a woman has expectations for her husband, then the problem is another matter.
"Ginkgo, don't talk about your uncle, it's not that he hasn't done these things, he is the eldest young master of the Zhao family. It's normal not to have done any of these things. In fact, he can have that mind and is willing to help a little. Ma was already very happy.
"Mother, don't help him speak, he is just pampered and arrogant, and a big man can't even do this thing. What else could he do? I can't get used to him being served in everything, I can't wait for someone to bring it to his mouth when I have a sip of tea, and I don't bother to stretch out my hand when I should reach out, and I don't know who I learned from because of my laziness. "Not to mention, this ginkgo is really decent when he talks about men, and Ma not only didn't stop it when he heard it. Instead, he smiled.
It's like two people, who used to be lukewarm, but when they meet, they are like strangers, how bad. It's still like this, there is a husband and wife.
"Don't talk about your uncle, it's you, you weren't a slacker before. It's fun and active, and often doesn't do anything to run out to play, but now I'll talk about my uncle."
"I am...... This is different, ...... mother" Liu Ginkgo had nothing to say, Zhao Chenzong just came back from collecting the plates, and when he was by the door, he happened to hear Ginkgo and Ma talk about it, his face stiffened, not to mention what it was like.
Probably angry with her, the next time Zhao Chenzong was like playing chicken blood, serving food more actively than anyone else, and it seemed that he had endless energy. Others said that they wanted to take over, but he didn't do it, he didn't say a word of bitterness, and he was tired. This eldest young master usually goes out in a sedan chair, and today he may run more in a day than he does in a month. His hands were so sore that he didn't say a word.
Ma saw that something was wrong with this uncle, so he asked Ginkgo to ask him what was wrong and if there was anything wrong. Liu Ginkgo didn't bother to go, and estimated that it was his eldest young master's problem again, so he was putting up a shelf there. He is like this, if he is unhappy, he will bring others unhappy, as if everyone around him has to see his will and follow his will.
However, Zhao Chenzong still paid attention to the measure, when he was serving, others talked to him, and his attitude was not bad, and he didn't pull his face. Don't look at this young master's cynical appearance, it's really a bit bluffing when he pulls up his face.
The more Liu Yinxing looked at him like this, the more unhappy he became. Isn't it just to help with some food, how big it is, and no one asks him to do it, he has to do it himself, who is pulling a face to show at this time? If you're not happy to do it, don't do it, there are people who serve food, and there is no need for him.
Ma Shi saw that something was wrong with these two mouths, what did they do, they were still good just now, why did they look bitter and hateful at this time? She was an old man, but she couldn't stand such worries.
These people from the Ma clan reopened a table in the kitchen after others finished eating, and Zhao Chenzong didn't want to eat at the table before, so he ate with them on the kitchen table. At the dinner table, Ma kept picking up dishes for Zhao Chenzong, saying that he had worked hard, and he had served so many dishes today.
On the first day of the first lunar month, Li Banxia served the food. This thing was fun at first, but then I got tired of it. In the end, I had to trouble Liu Angelica to help. Zhao Chenzong, a young master who usually doesn't touch the spring water with his fingers, is embarrassed for him if he wants to run for so long.
It's just that between him and his sister-in-law, what's going on? Seeing the two of them choking like this, it's not like that. They are not in a hurry, these people are in a hurry. Looking at the situation of these people, it is really that the emperor is not in a hurry to die as a eunuch.
Ma didn't want these two to go back like this, they were a little better present, but because of their face, the two of them had to be a little scrupulous, and when there were only two of them, I was afraid it would be uncertain.
Ma and his daughter-in-law persuaded Ginkgo to stop choking with her uncle, and at the same time asked her son to go over to inquire. What's going on with my uncle. These two people won't make a fuss like this for no reason.
Zhao Chenzong refused to say it, but when these men got together, they were persuaded to drink two glasses of wine, so they spoke more casually. In the end, I finally told the story of the day.
Liu Dongshan understood now, it turned out that his uncle cared about this matter. But it's also. It is very frustrating for any man to be called useless by a woman. Zhao Chenzong didn't mind what others said about him before, but now he cares about Liu Yinxing's opinion, and even survives the matter of serving the food for the sake of anger. According to him, this Young Master Zhao is also becoming more and more interested in Ginkgo.
Know what went wrong. That's what it will be easy to do. Only then did Liu Yinxing know that she didn't pay attention to what she said and hurt his face, and she didn't have to talk about it. She is not an unreasonable person, and besides, his performance today is indeed much better than usual, and he didn't put out his eldest young master's score, so she can't say anything about it. He couldn't do that. She shouldn't have said that about him.
Thinking of this, Liu Yinxing thought about it, she had to take it first. But not too soft. In this way, if he doesn't appreciate it at that time, he will be very faceless. And to be honest, Liu Yinxing still has a lot of estrangement in his heart against Zhao Chenzong. It would be very difficult for her to do anything to make him happy.
In the afternoon, Zhao Chenzong sat in the room, there was nothing to play in ancient times, especially in this cold weather, in addition to playing cards, there was a group of big men talking nonsense there.
Because there are relatives at home. Liu Xishan's brothers couldn't leave and had to accompany the guests at home. Otherwise, it would be better to take Zhao Chenzong to the nearby mountains for a spin than to stay in the house all the time.
The family fried a lot of chestnuts a few days ago, and Ma collected them, just waiting for the girl and aunt to eat when they came back. A few people sat in the house and it was fine, and Ma came out with chestnuts and let them talk while eating.
This chestnut is not fried for a long time, it is still soft, and it tastes fragrant and sweet. It's a bit of a struggle to peel the shell, but it has a different taste.
Where did Zhao Chenzong usually eat this, but he felt that it was difficult, and he finally peeled two of them, but they either rolled to the ground or couldn't eat them in his mouth, but he looked a little clumsy. Finally, he peeled two of them and put them in his mouth, and he felt that the taste was really good, which surprised him.
He didn't like the local goods in this village, but he heard Ma say that these chestnuts were all made by themselves in the mountains, peeled the chestnut thorns, and then left them outside to dry for two days before they were fried. The chestnuts fried in this way are fragrant and sweet, and the fresh chestnuts do not taste so good.
Zhao Chenzong hadn't eaten these either, he might have eaten it after peeling the shell and boiling the soup, and he didn't remember it, anyway, he hadn't eaten it and had to peel the shell himself. And I don't know, eating chestnuts like this can taste like eating chestnuts.
Many children in the village want their parents to fry chestnuts to eat, and they usually ask for a long time, but not everyone can eat them all the time. Sometimes I really want to eat, so I secretly take out a few chestnut canopy from the chestnuts that I have beaten back, and I want to eat them while I am afraid of the chestnut thorns, not to mention how interesting it is to be anxious and afraid of the. Take it outside the house, rub it quickly with your feet, take out the chestnuts inside, and eat it raw. This chestnut is generally reluctant to be eaten by their own families, waiting for people to do favors when they arrive home and give it to others.
Ma is also for the sake of his daughter and son-in-law, and he is willing to take out so much at one time. Liu Lingzhi shouted that he was blessed, and every time he took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, he secretly grabbed a handful of chestnuts and stuffed them into his pocket. Everyone else knows his actions, but this little ghost is also weird and funny, so they don't see it, and let him do it. His two little pockets can't hold much if they die.
The temperature was low, and it was still a little cold to sit, so Ma also shoveled two fires, and asked Liu Ginkgo to send it to his uncle. The old man saw this opportunity, so he thought about creating a little more opportunity for the two of them, hoping that the two of them would reconcile soon.
Liu Ginkgo was awkward for a while, but she couldn't bear Ma's repeated urging, so she had to carry the stove in. He didn't hand the stove to him, he just put it next to him, so close, he knew that it was for Zhao Chenzong. After giving the stove, she sat down to the side, next to her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and sat here more comfortably.
Liu Dongshan, Li Banxia, and Liu Xishan all understood what was going on, and their breathing eased a little, observing Zhao Chenzong's reaction.
If he is willing to take over the furnace, there should be nothing between them.
Zhao Chenzong was stunned, glanced at the stove, and did not move in his hand. Continue to fight with those chestnuts of his, this thing is delicious, and he wants to eat it quickly, but this shell is really hard to peel. If you want to eat chestnuts, you have to use your teeth and hands together, so that you can peel them quickly. But although Zhao Chenzong was a little embarrassed, he always felt a little disobedient when he asked him, the eldest young master, to peel the shell with his teeth, and he couldn't do this.
Li Banxia looked at it and shook his head, watching him eat chestnuts, it was really pitiful. Now there is a good opportunity to enhance the relationship between their husband and wife, but with the temperament of the sister-in-law, she will not do it. It's hard for her to say anything about this, don't do it when the time doesn't enhance the relationship, but it has the opposite effect.
Now the relationship between these two people can really be called walking on thin ice, they don't think it themselves, they are onlookers who think so.
Li Banxia didn't dare to scream, which didn't mean that Ma was unwilling.
As soon as Ma entered the house, he saw that the stove that Ginkgo gave to Zhao Chenzong was still next to it, and seeing that Ginkgo was a little unhappy about this, Ma was quick.
"Uncle, it's cold this day, bake the fire, be careful not to catch a cold" Ma Shi stuffed the stove directly into Zhao Chenzong's hand, and Zhao Chenzong had to take it, so he felt a lot more comfortable. He was worried that he couldn't find any excuse, so he took the stove and left it aside, and he was not at ease, but fortunately Ma stuffed it into him, which saved him from his troubles.
"Ginkgo, what are you still sitting stupidly doing, why don't you peel the chestnuts of your uncle quickly, I don't see that he can't peel them." Ma Shi said, turned his head and said to Zhao Chenzong: "Uncle, you don't know that Ginkgo has been very good at eating a piece since he was a child, especially peeling chestnuts, which is very fast. If others eat one, she can eat two or three, but her two brothers can't eat her. ”
It's not a glorious thing, girls are greedy, and it makes people laugh when they say it.
Zhao Chenzong listened to Ma's words and glanced at Liu Yinxing. He couldn't see that she was still such a person who liked to eat, and when she was in the Zhao family, she didn't pay attention to food at all. On the contrary, after having a body, this one does not eat and that does not eat, but it annoys a group of people.
Zhao Chenzong really didn't know this point. The woman he usually saw who was taciturn and always had a tight face, just like others owed her hundreds of taels of silver, was not Liu Yinxing's true face.
Liu Yinxing is a well-known fun-loving person, and she is even crazier than a boy's house. When I was a child, I went up the mountain to pick peaches, stole other people's sugar cane, got up in the middle of the night and went with a group of friends to pick persimmons on other people's trees, threw stones and smashed chestnuts on other people's trees, and secretly picked up other people's sweet potatoes. Sometimes I was chased by the owner's family, and I ran over a few hills just by running. This girl, one eats and the other plays, and it's really not something that anyone can control when she's crazy.
Ma Shi was interested, and kept telling Zhao Chenzong about Liu Ginkgo's previous "glorious history", Liu Ginkgo signaled several times, and Ma not only did not stop, but spoke more and more energetically.
Zhao Chenzong was amazed when he heard it, and he looked back at Liu Yinxing incredulously, and then sighed with a lot of feelings. If it weren't for Ma's words, he really couldn't believe that his wife was such a person.
From Ma's words, he seemed to see a lively and cheerful Liu Ginkgo who was diametrically opposed to his current temperament. Such Liu Ginkgo, although he has done a lot of out-of-the-ordinary things, and many times he is also very embarrassed, but he has a trace of longing and yearning for such Liu Ginkgo from his heart-
What changed her?
The answer goes without saying, it's all him.
Zhao Chenzong lowered his head, his expression a little complicated. vvwvv, remembering that he was angry with her for so long for that little thing during the day, compared to what he had done to her before, it was simply a drop in the bucket. It's strange to say that no matter how bad he did in the past, he would not have any apologies, let alone regrets. He, Young Master Zhao, can do whatever he wants, no one can control it, and there is no need to regret it. Now, however, he finds that many things do need to change. And it's slowly changing.
