CHAPTER XXXV

Aunt Lan's words were amazing, not only did Chen not expect it, but even Old Lady You and You Ziyu were also stunned. The first to react was the fourth girl herself, who listened to Aunt Lan's words, she hiccuped in fright, and then cried even more, a pair of small hands dragged Aunt Lan's clothes and cried endlessly, and shouted vaguely: "I don't want to leave my aunt, I don't want a wife, I don't want ......."

The crying became higher and higher, and even Brother Bao was a little frightened, and he also cried. Chen only felt that his brain was in pain, so he hurriedly stood up and coaxed Brother Bao, and coaxed in his mouth: "Oh, oh, Brother Bao doesn't cry, don't cry......"

One wall coaxed his son, and the other wall persuaded Aunt Lan: "You coax the fourth girl first." Don't always ask her to cry during the New Year, she cried non-stop during the New Year last year, and she cried again this year...... I said, you mother and daughter, what are the hurdles that you can't get over, why do you like to attract bad luck on a big day? I cry and cry all day long, and I am not afraid of bad luck in the coming year! ”

After that, he lowered his head and smiled at the four girls: "Don't cry, I'm going to cry like a little cat." Blame the poor people, don't listen to them, no one wants to snatch you away from your aunt, it's all your aunt's words to coax you. That is, your children's family will be serious. ”

Aunt Lan didn't think that Chen would refuse her plea in a few words. I was really unwilling, and I hurriedly said: "The concubine is not impulsive, but has been thinking about it for a long time. Please be gracious to your wife. The concubine is shallow, and she really can't teach the four girls well, and she doesn't want to ruin the name of the girls of the You family because of this, she knows that the wife is motherly, and she also asks the wife-"

"Oh, I said, how do you know how to cause trouble?" Chen interrupted Aunt Lan's words impatiently, and easily transferred Bao Ge'er in his arms, and at that time, Bao Ge'er had obediently suppressed his tears, and only looked at Chen with a pair of big black grape-like eyes. Chen's heart softened when he was seen by his son, and his tone was much softer.

“…… I'm only taking Brother Bao with me now, and I'm too busy to get busy. Where is there time to help you take the four girls. Don't you see that I've even handed over the housekeeping to the eldest girl now? What's more, the fourth girl has been with you since she was a child, and she has been used to it for so many years. You are her biological mother, and you will take her, not only me, but even the old lady and the old lady are relieved. The four girls can't leave you. You said that you had a good job of producing this moth, and I didn't bother to think about what you thought, so I just told you the truth - I, a person with one heart and one hand, is not enough to pounce on this little ancestor, and I really don't have the energy to take care of others. Don't think I'm not a mother, to put it mildly, it's my own second sister and third sister, I can't control it now. "What's more, it's a seed that crawls out of someone else's belly?

Chen said, and smiled at Aunt Lan: "If you are sincere in entrusting the fourth girl to me, and wait for Brother Bao'er to turn one year old, let's discuss it again." Now you have seen this scene in our family, I am really divided and flawless. ”

Aunt Lan was stunned by Chen's heartfelt words. Forgot how to cope. The fourth girl also knelt on the ground in a daze, her hands still holding on to the hem of Aunt Lan's clothes and not letting go, but she didn't cry, she only looked up at Chen. A pair of red eyes blinked.

Chen didn't look at the mother and daughter, but only hugged Brother Bao and smiled at Mrs. You and You Ziyu: "Old lady, don't be angry that I'm ignorant, I'm just telling the truth." It's an ordinary family, and it's more important to treat my brother than my sister, not to mention that Brother Bao is the only male in our You family, I'm really afraid of melting in my mouth, and I'm afraid of falling in my hand, and I can't leave it for a while. ”

Although Mrs. You didn't look down on Chen, this sentence went to her heart. immediately opened his mouth and agreed: "My daughter-in-law's words are very true. It is still the most important thing to take care of Bao Ge'er. ”

After that, he said angrily to Aunt Lan: "Your wife is busy at this time, so don't make trouble for her." The four girls on the left and right have been by your side for so many years, and it is not bad for a moment. You are waiting for Brother Bao'er to pass the first birthday, your wife has to be idle, and it is not too late for you to mention raising the four girls. ”

You Ziyu also reacted at this time, and was so busy that he opened his mouth to second the words of Old Lady You and Chen.

Aunt Lan saw it in her eyes, so she had to be. In his heart, he secretly scolded Mrs. You for being a fool - "At this time, I remembered to sell a good child for my daughter-in-law, and with this blind coaxing, why not take advantage of the excuse of letting my wife raise the four girls, and take my brother to his own house to raise." At that time, it can be regarded as a benefit for both of them. What is it that is so not embarrassing or embarrassing now? The obvious old lady is also an old man who has not made it. ”

Aunt Lan secretly slandered in her heart, but she didn't show it at all, and still took the four girls to kowtow respectfully to Old Lady You Ziyu and Chen's family. When the room full of aunts and concubines saw this, they all came forward to praise the old lady and the old lady for their mercy. In fact, I secretly laughed in my heart that Aunt Lan was not a loser for stealing chickens. Among them, Aunt Fang, who had no daughter the year before, was the most, one wall served Mrs. You and the three of them ate tea and snacks, and the other wall spit out a few baskets of flattering words, except for the old lady and the old lady, she still pointed out that Sang scolded Huai and fell on Aunt Lan.

Aunt Lan didn't leak a drop of water on her face, so she just turned a deaf ear. The four girls are still young, but they don't understand.

When the eldest girl and the second sister and the third sister saw it, they had to look at each other and smile, and refused to say more.

Chen didn't bother to pay attention to the chickens and dogs of the aunts in the house, she hugged Bao Ge'er for a whole morning, and her arms were already sore. Seeing You Ziyu with his hands on his side and just looking at his son stupidly and laughing, the anger in his heart didn't come to a place, he got up and stuffed Brother Bao into You Ziyu's arms, and said in his mouth: "This is your son, you just watch what you do, and hug him." ”

You Ziyu was caught off guard, only to feel that his son was being stuffed in his arms, and the limbs of the little baby were soft, and it was light and warm in his arms, as if there were no bones. You Ziyu was so panicked that his hands and feet were at a loss, and even his limbs were stiff, and Brother Bao seemed to know something, only looking at You Ziyu with a pair of big eyes, and laughing in his mouth. You Ziyu only felt that he could see his face through his son's dark pupils, and his heart became more and more soft. Hurriedly lowered his head and approached Brother Bao'er, the tips of the noses of the father and son touched the tips of their noses, and You Ziyu softened his voice and said: "Brother Bao, Brother Bao, call Dad, call Dad!" ”

Chen sneered when he heard this, pointed at You Ziyu and smiled at Old Lady You: "Look at the stupid appearance of the master, Brother Bao is so old, where can he speak?" ”

Old Lady You couldn't help laughing. Seeing that the baby grandson in You Ziyu's arms became more and more greedy, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and smiled: "Give me a hug." ”

When You Ziyu heard this, she hurriedly hugged Brother Bao and stepped forward and gently handed it to Mrs. You's arms. Mrs. You is an experienced old man in the end, and she is familiar with holding her grandson in her arms and gently patting it, and the comfortable Brother Bao unconsciously closes her eyes and wants to sleep.

When Mrs. You saw it, she smiled at You Ziyu and Chen: "It's a good thing that Brother Bao likes to sleep, children like to sleep, and they will be smart when they grow up." ”

When Chen heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This kid was ruthless last night, so he can't hold it anymore." ”

Mrs. You said, "Children like to play at night and sleep during the day. When I gave birth to Ziyu, he was also so fond of tossing people, partial and sticky to me, only in my arms it was fine, to the nurse's arms to cry and make trouble, where can I bear to listen to him crying, and that time is young and energetic, I have to hold him in his arms for a moment, so that I can't close my eyes for a few days and nights The days are countless. It wasn't until he was three or four years old and a little sensible that he was fine. ”

Mrs. You's words were sincere, and You Ziyu was quite emotional. Even the Chen family had to sigh and sigh: "So the old saying always says that if you don't raise a child, you don't know the kindness of your parents." When I was a girl at home, I couldn't have thought of so much. It wasn't until I got married later, suffered a lot as a daughter-in-law for others, and gave birth to two sisters, that I knew how difficult it was to be a mother. ”

When Mrs. You heard this, she couldn't help but arouse the sadness of her long-term widowhood, and sighed: "You are a blessed and lucky person, and your parents and brothers love you again, so you are okay." If you meet a ...... like me, I married Ziyu's father a few years ago, and when Ziyu was only three or four years old, his father was gone. I'm ...... alone."

When Mrs. You said this, she suddenly stopped, and then smiled: "Look at me, the older you are, the more you don't have a door, what are you doing talking about these bad things during the New Year." ”

Seeing this, Chen Shi hurriedly smiled and said, "It's all my fault, it's okay, I actually summoned the old lady's words." ”

After that, I saw that Mrs. You was getting more and more struggling with her arms around Brother Bao, so she stepped forward with a smile and said, "Brother Bao'er has been getting heavier and heavier in the past two days, the old lady should put it down quickly, she is tired carefully." ”

Even if Fang just talked to the Chen family quite agreeable, Mrs. You was reluctant to give up her precious grandson to others. Hearing what Chen said, he hurriedly said with a smile: "Brother Bao is not heavy, I hold him well." Besides, he was asleep, so that's it. Wait for Brother Bao to wake up, don't toss and wake him up. ”

Chen Shi laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, but it was not good that he was so tired of Mrs. You, because he smiled: "I didn't sleep for half a night last night, who knows how sooner or later Brother Bao will wake up." Don't do this, old lady, if you are tired of your old man, it will be Bao Ge'er's sin. ”

After that, he ordered Chunlan Qiuju to go back to the room to get Brother Bao'er's bedding, and commanded: "Spread it on the kang in the old lady's house, and let the old lady watch him sleep." ”

When Mrs. You heard this, she hurriedly called Chunlan and Qiuju and the two only said, "No need", and instructed her eldest maid Jixiang and Ruyi to go into the inner room to get a small quilt and a small mattress to spread on the kang, and said to Chen with a smile: "I know that you are pregnant with a brother, so I asked them to prepare." Now all kinds of things in my house are ready-made. In the future, Brother Bao will use these in my house, but there is no need to toss at both ends, now it is cold outside, if there is a cool breeze in the moving around, it is not good. ”

When Chen heard this, he only smiled and praised the old lady for being so careful, but it was okay.

For a while, everyone had lunch in Mrs. You's upper room, and then they dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest. Because Brother Bao was still asleep, Mrs. You ordered the two of them to carefully wrap Brother Bao and send them back to the main courtyard with Chen. I didn't think that Chen stopped Ji Xiang Ruyi, and said to Old Lady You with a smile: "The old lady's words are very true. Brother Bao is young and weak, and he can't withstand such a toss. Hugging back and forth in the winter, it is not good if you suffer from the wind chill for a while. Let Brother Bao sleep in the old lady's house. After dinner, I'll take Brother Bao back. ”

Mrs. You really couldn't imagine this unexpected joy, and while she was flattered, she blurted out to thank Chen. Chen smiled and said, "What did the old lady thank me for?" Brother Bao is my son and the old lady's precious grandson, so what else do I have to worry about? It's just that I'm worried that the old lady is old, and Brother Bao is too noisy, but the old lady who tosses can't stand it. ”

Mrs. You couldn't close her mouth with a smile, she tucked a small quilt for Brother Bao, and said with a smile: "I know that my daughter-in-law is the most virtuous...... I'm relieved to have you say that...... Don't worry, Brother Bao is here with me, there will definitely be nothing wrong......"

Chen listened to Mrs. You's incoherent speech, and only laughed silently.

When he walked out of the door of the upper room for a while, and returned to the main courtyard along the verandah, You Ziyu was still puzzled, and unconsciously asked: "You were still messing with the old lady about this a few days ago, why did you change your mind today?" ”

Seeing that You Ziyu couldn't speak, Chen Shi rolled his eyes at him dissatisfied, and said, "I just don't agree with the old lady stuffing Bao Ge'er with a nurse." That's also because I'm afraid that the nurses will be loyal and treacherous in their hearts, and they will take care of Bao Ge'er and instigate Bao Ge'er carelessly. When did I say that the old lady was not allowed to love her grandson? Am I such an unreasonable person in your heart?

Isn't that it?

You Ziyu secretly rubbed his heart to respond, but he didn't dare to say it in person, so he had to smile and say: "Of course I know that Madame is not that kind of person, but it's just a vain question." I can't speak, and Madame don't want to be like me. ”

Chen didn't answer, but glanced at You Ziyu with a smile. The affectionate affection in his eyebrows and eyes made You Ziyu's heart flutter, and he almost couldn't hold it. And because all the daughters are following behind, it's not good to move lightly. He only reached out and held Chen's hand and twisted it.

Chen shook You Ziyu's hand away with a snap, simply hugged his arms and leaned on the pillar of the hand-copying verandah, and glanced at the eldest girl, before saying to You Ziyu: "It's not for your sake." I've only been busy with Brother Bao'er's affairs these days, but I've snubbed a few girls. The second sister and the third sister are just going back. But the eldest girl's matter could not be delayed-after all, it was a lifelong event of my daughter's family, and I was born because of Brother Bao'er's negligence, and I didn't suddenly remember it until last night. Listen to me and you'll understand. ”

At the moment, the worry that there is no way to make money in the dowry of the eldest girl was explained in detail. The eldest girl originally planned to beg the third sister to find a time when no one was around, and slowly tell the Chen family about the matter. Where did they think that the Chen family actually thought of it one step ahead of them. And in order to prepare for this matter, he even entrusted Bao Ge'er to the old lady......

The big girl's eyes were red when she was moved, and she really didn't know what to say.

You Ziyu also sighed with embarrassment, and praised Chen for being a virtuous person. He also said that this matter should not be worried about by the Chen family, "Wait for Ming'er and I will instruct the comprador in the house to handle this matter well." Don't let down your wife's thoughts. ”

Chen smiled and said, "The eldest girl is also your daughter, so it should be." ”

When You Ziyu heard this, she became more and more emotional. didn't know that Chen suddenly raised this matter, except for reporting to God and reporting to her so that she could sell her favor and win people's hearts before the eldest girl spoke, there were other plans......
