Shen heard that the in-laws were coming, and they were busy taking the maid to their son's yard, and when Li saw Shen enter the house, he stood up hurriedly, bowed down and said embarrassedly: "I'm in a hurry, I didn't go to say hello to my in-laws, it's really rude." ”

Shen smiled and said, "Where! The in-laws care about Qing'er, and I still understand this truth. ”

Tang Qing'er saw that her mother-in-law and her mother were so easy to talk to, standing aside and looking at them with a smile, Li said: "In-laws, Qing'er is happy now, and I have to trouble you to take care of her more in the future." ”

Shen said: "It should be, add a son to our Xue family, she is a hero, how dare we ignore her,"

Tang Qing'er said embarrassedly: "Mother......"

Shen Shi was embarrassed by what she said, and laughed, since she knew that Qing'er was pregnant, she began to prepare small clothes and shoes, and the needlework head did not leave her hand, and she was cutting and doing it all day.

Master Xue went to her house in the afternoon and saw it, and said to Shen with anger and laughter: "Qing'er is in labor in October this year, who else do you make silk clothes for?" In winter, the child will be older, and he can't wear the small clothes he wears in summer! ”

Shen Shi stopped his hand, and said in a rare calm voice: "I am a happy demon, Xun'er's pink and well-behaved appearance when he was a child still seems to be yesterday, I didn't think about it, he will really be a father in more than half a year!" How can I not rejoice? Xun'er's life is not good in this life, but now I meet Qing'er, marry her, and have a child, I have been in the house for more than ten years, I have watched his children and grandchildren, and now I think about it, I am happy for him......"

Master Xue remembered that Xun'er had always been very close to him, and it was something later, the father and son quarreled without saying three words, and they also sighed with Shen, seeing that Shen didn't drive him away, he cheekily took the gender of Xun'er's unborn child and let Shen guess, Li's heart was rolling, and for a while he thought that it was a female baby, like Qing'er's well-behaved appearance, and it was also very good, and for a while he wanted to be a male baby, and Xiangxun'er was mature and stable, and it was good! The two of them guessed for a long time, but in the end they didn't guess anything, but their hearts were very happy!

Master Xue thought to himself: I'm afraid this is the first time that he and the Shen family have calmly sat down and said the same thing.

In the blink of an eye, another two months passed, and the weather gradually warmed up, Jiang and his daughter-in-law Qiao came back from Beijing, Jiang had been living in the house, but something happened in Beijing, she had to go back to Beijing to deal with it, so she hurried back to Beijing a few days after Tang Qing'er became pregnant.

After returning home, the Jiang family went to visit Tang Qing'er, Tang Qing'er was very happy to see the second aunt coming, and said with a smile: "The second aunt is back, it should be me to see you, and I asked you to come to visit me, it's all mine." ”

Jiang Shi smiled lightly: "You have a body now, you should pay more attention." ”

"Second Aunt Xie is considerate." Tang Qing'er called Zhu'er to pour tea for them.

Jiang Shi looked at Tang Qing'er's belly when he entered the house, it had only been more than three months, but this belly was very big, and he couldn't help asking: "Your belly is a little big!" ”

Tang Qing'er smiled shyly and said, "Since I was pregnant, I have a great appetite, and my mouth is not idle all day long. ”

Jiang Shi thought about it and said: "There are some words, I still remind you as a person who has come over, you are pregnant now, don't eat too much, if your belly is too big, when you give birth, you will be the one who suffers,"

Hearing this, Tang Qing'er was really grateful to the Jiang family. took her hand and said, "Xie Lu, Second Aunt Xie's reminder, but...... But ......" is a bit stumbling in the latter words.

Jiang said: "I just remind you, you don't have to be afraid, have a good baby, and give birth to a big fat boy for Xun'er when the time comes, that is the great hero of our Xue family," Jiang replied, but Qing'er's belly is really bigger than ordinary people.

Tang Qing'er smiled embarrassedly: "Second aunt, can you ...... The doctor said...... I'm pregnant with twins, so I'm bigger than usual, and I don't eat more. ”

"Really? That's great! Oh, I remember, your mother's two younger brothers are twins, it's definitely right, oops, this thing clothes or something, I have to hurry up and prepare more, our Xue family ancestors haven't had such a good thing for generations. "Jiang had only heard people say it before, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, how could he not be surprised.

"The second aunt has won the prize." It was a great joy for their Xue family, but it was really a crime for her, a pregnant woman with a big belly.

"You should have told me in advance, so that I would bring two copies with me when I came back this time, and now I only have one copy of everything."

"Second aunt, it was only diagnosed in the past few days, I was still young in the previous months, and the doctor couldn't diagnose it, don't worry, it's still early, and I will definitely be able to wear what you sent when the time comes!"

Jiang Shi smiled lightly: "What you said is also true. "When I came back this time, Jiang Shi was obviously much less concerned about anything, and he also felt sorry for Tang Qing'er out of sincere love for her and cared about her.

This time, Jiang came back with his daughter-in-law, and as soon as Jiang's front foot left, Qiao's came over, first greeted his sister-in-law's body, and then said something about how to protect the fetus as a comeover, and then gave her sister-in-law a look, Tang Qing'er said to Qing'er and Zhu'er in the house: "You go down!" I'll call you over for something. ”

"Yes," the two of them retreated to the young lady and the second lady.

Tang Qing'er smiled and said, "Brother and sister, you are so mysterious, do you have something to tell me?" ”

Qiao Shi first pursed his lips and snickered, and winked at his sister-in-law: "I have good news for you, I want you to be happy." ”

"Oh?" Tang Qing'er didn't have much contact with Qiao's family, so she was surprised that she could say something to herself.

Qiao Shi opened his mouth and said, "Jiang Yirong is married!" ”

"Cousin Jiang is getting married!" Tang Qing'er touched her stomach and said in surprise.

"Yes, after my mother-in-law returned home, she immediately called me over, picked out the portraits of the sons I was optimistic about in Beijing, and asked someone to inquire privately, and finally looked at the sons-in-law and decided to price my cousin," Qiao had long expected that the cousin-in-law would have such a surprised expression, and said with a smile.

"I got married in such a hurry," she actually wanted to ask Jiang Yirong how she reacted.

"My cousin is crying and begging her mother-in-law, but since my mother-in-law knew that she did such a shameful thing in front of you last time, she said with a straight face, if you don't marry, you have to marry, this marriage has been decided." Qiao Shi gloated a little.

Because of her mother-in-law's return, Jiang Yirong's marriage went very smoothly, and the dowry was also in accordance with the specifications of Xue Mansion, but when her cousin's father and mother passed away, she also left her a lot of money, so she has a lot of dowry, since that shameless kneeling begging Tang Qing'er to agree to accept her as a concubine, the crazy words in the house have not stopped, she knows that she has no face, so she has never been out of her yard, although she does not agree with the marriage mentioned by her mother-in-law, but she has always been afraid of her mother-in-law, where do you dare to refute again and again.

Qiao's thought to herself: She is still very conscientious, and the in-laws she found for her are very good, originally she found her in-laws because of responsibility, and she did what she should do, and the rest can only depend on her own, so this Jiang Yirong married into the Zhao family, whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the future, it is her own business, the Huang family has heavy rules, and she really hopes that the rules of the Huang family can control her cousin to death.

"Ah, I knew that my cousin was married, and my father-in-law and I prepared a dowry for her." Tang Qing'er said this sincerely, but it didn't smell like that in Qiao's ears, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Yirong's cousin is married, if you really go with a congratulatory gift, she still thinks you are provoking her?" ”

Sure enough, with a child, IQ is also declining, Tang Qing'er sneered: "Look at my brain, now I am a little unlucky in the house." ”

"Hehe......" Qiao glanced at his sister-in-law with a deep taste.

Tang Qing'er knew that Qiao's had misunderstood her, and she didn't bother to explain, so she said something else to her, and when she saw that Qiao's was still not leaving, she reached out to cover her mouth and snorted, Qiao's finally had some eyesight and said: "I see that my sister-in-law is a little tired, so I won't bother much." ”

Tang Qing'er stood up symbolically and said, "No, it's just that I have been sitting for a long time and my stomach is a little uncomfortable." ”

Qiao Shi walked out as he spoke, and said, "That sister-in-law should go to the bed to lie down and rest, you can stay!" ”

"Brother and sister......" Tang Qing'er followed her and walked a few steps.

Qiao shook his head and disagreed: "Sister-in-law, I don't leave tomorrow, I still have to stay in the house for a few days, how often can we talk to each other?" ”

"Oh well! Listen to my brother and sister, I won't send you. Almost, Tang Qing'er followed her words.

Since Tang Qing'er became pregnant, she has been nesting in Xue's mansion, and she can't go anywhere, and she has to be taken care of even when she reads, so she held back her anger for a long time and yelled directly at Xue Qianxun, who was sitting in the room reading: "Can I still have some personal freedom." ”

Xue Qianxun said lightly: "Aren't you free now?" ”

"I sit in this yard every day, and I feel uncomfortable."

"Huh?"

Like a punch on cotton, Tang Qing'er suddenly deflated and said, "I want to go back to my mother's house to see." ”

"Okay!" Xue Qianxun put down the book, looked at her for a while, and finally spit out two words that made her happy.

"Then let's go!" Tang Qing'er took Xue Qianxun's hand and said anxiously.

Some time ago, the Li family bought land again, the reason is that the Li family had a plan in their hearts, and discussed with the head of the family to buy some land, and if they didn't plant it, they would share it out of the house, which was better than keeping the silver in their hands, and discussed with the second brother and sister, so that they could also buy it together, and it was best for the two families to buy one, and what to do with the rent in the future, so that they could take care of it.

Sun shook his head and said, "The family has just moved to the town for a short time, where is there so much silver, let's wait!" Although there are some pressure at home, Sun and Tang Tiexiong don't want to move, even if they are very tempted by their sister-in-law's proposal, they don't have the strength, so they have to give up.

Sun still wants to find some work in the town, and save up for a few years with the head of the family.

Li said: "That's it! There will be opportunities in the future. ”

In the end, Tang Tiezhu bought 50 acres of land from the Ya Xing, who sold the land, and spent a total of 300 taels of silver.

After this matter was done, the Li family began to plough the land, and Tang Tiezhu was worried about what to plant in the field this year? In the past, when the girl was at home, she could give her ideas, but now she is a little worried.

Sanshun drove the carriage to Li's house, Xue Qianxun got out of the carriage first, and then slowly helped Qing'er who got out of the carriage, held her arm, and said intimately: "Be careful." ”

"Yes." I just want to see my father and mother as soon as possible, and I echoed in my mouth.

Xue Qianxun helped Qing'er into the house, Li and Tang Tiezhu were worried in the main hall, and suddenly saw their daughter coming, Li was busy, and said with joy: "You are pregnant now, you don't raise a baby at home, what are you doing here?" ”

Tang Tiezhu also said: "What your mother said," and said to Xue Qianxun: "Xun'er too, you agree to whatever Qing'er wants to do, and don't look at how inconvenient her body is now, you are not allowed to get used to her in the future." ”

"Mother, if I don't come out for a stroll again, I'm going to get sick in the house."

"What are you talking nonsense, kid?" Li rebuked angrily.

Xue Qianxun also gave his father-in-law and mother-in-law a helpless look at the right time.

Tang Qing'er said again: "Dad, when I entered the house, I found that you were a little worried between your eyebrows, what is the matter?" ”

Tang Tiezhu shook his head and said, "It's okay. "Obviously, I don't want to tell my daughter about this, for fear that she will know that she has a heavy mind.

"Dad, just say it! Otherwise, I would be even more scratching my heart and liver. ”

Xue Qianxun also said: "Yes, Dad, if you have any worries and tell us, I will definitely help if you can." ”

Tang Tiezhu and his wife looked at each other, and the last one was Li Shi waved his hand: "Nothing?" Not long ago, your father used the method Xun'er said, and the shop made a lot of money, thinking that it was useless to put money in his hands, so he bought more than 50 acres of land, plus our family's previous land, and now there are more than 100 acres at home. ”

"If you have a lot of land, rent it to other people, and you and your father will live the life of renting your in-laws, how good." Tang Qing'er thought about it and joked.

"No matter how much you can rent to others to plant, you have to leave a few acres of land to grow some food to eat."

"That's right,"

Xue Qianxun said: "Otherwise, plant sesame seeds in the ground." ”

"How so?" Tang Tiezhu asked.

"If I grow sesame seeds, when they are ripe, my father can sell them to me, and I will buy them to make sesame oil,"

"Sesame oil?"

"Yes," Xue Qianxun said lightly.

The consumption of vegetable oil may be more common in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties periods, according to ancient books, at that time, people have used sesame oil, euphema oil and hemp seed oil for food and cooking, 'Epea 36' cloud: 'Epea late autumn into ...... The oil is pressed and the cake can be cooked. The stubble oil color is green and lovely, its aroma is beautiful, and the cooking cake flax oil is better than hemp seed fat paste, hemp seed fat paste and has a fishy smell'. Among the various cooking methods, recipes and ingredients described in the book, there are many records of the use of sesame oil, ewing oil, pig, sheep, cattle and other animal oils, and sesame oil is the best edible oil.

"Feasible?" Although Tang Tiezhu had heard of it, he had never eaten it.

"Dad, it's man-made, how can you know if you don't succeed if you don't do it?" Tang Qing'er also mentioned this stubble for the first time, and felt that this idea was good, she really didn't want to eat lard anymore, and the dishes she ate now, as soon as she smelled the taste of lard, she couldn't eat it.

"But where is this arugula sold?" Thinking of planting, Tang Tiezhu was a little worried.

Xue Qianxun said: "I also want to plant sesame seeds this year, so I bought some sesame rapeseed from Jinglituo and came back, if my father also plans to plant, I will pull more than 100 catties of sesame seeds for you." ”

Tang Tiezhu reprimanded: "These hundred and ten catties of things, you can send them if you say they will send them, if you let people know the truth, you can't marry our daughter for us to take advantage of you." ”

Xue Qianxun shook his head with a smile: "Dad, no, you can rest assured!" ”

Tang Qing'er also said: "Dad, after you married your daughter, you don't treat me as a family anymore, how can you be so clear." ”

Tang Tiezhu retorted with a red face: "I'm afraid that your mother-in-law's family will say that your mother-in-law will know that Lu Dao will take advantage of Xue Mansion and make your face dull." ”

"What is the occupation? It is said that a son-in-law is half a son, is it wrong to be a son-in-law's filial piety to his father-in-law? What else can the person who said this do other than to look at you for having a good son-in-law? ”

"Dad, Qing'er is right." Xue Qianxun held Qing'er's hand and said gently, but his tone was irrefutable.

"Let's go! Cease! And when you all say so, it will come as you wish. Tang Tiezhu sat on the stool and waved his hand.

After solving the family's affairs, Li went to the kitchen to make food for Qing'er, and Tang Qing'er and Xue Qianxun had dinner at home before returning to Xue's mansion.
