Chapter 10: Raising Children (I)
Qianxi was woken up by two bursts of crying, and it was a little vague at first, the familiar roof, the warm kang couch, but there was a feeling of being reincarnated. Suddenly woke up, Qianxi turned over and got up, and entered the scene of Ming Zhuowei holding two children.
"Eldest son, give the child to the concubine!" Ming Zhuowei's posture of holding the child was very unnatural, and the two children did not stop crying, Qianxi couldn't help but make a sound, Ming Zhuowei turned back when he heard the sound, stepped in front of her in three steps, and handed one of them into Qianxi's hands, Qianxi coaxed for a while, touched the child's forehead, and stopped crying for a while, and the same was true for Ming Zhuowei's arms.
"How long has the concubine been asleep?" Seeing that in this room, except for Ming Zhuowei, the other two still can't speak, Qianxi can only ask him about the situation, Ming Zhuowei stretched out his hand to the child who didn't cry and learned to touch his head like Qianxi, "Two days." ”
To her surprise, she slept for two days! "Is the eldest prince taking care of the children these two days?"
Ming Zhuowei didn't answer, and asked rhetorically: "Which of them is the longest, and which is the secondary?" ”
Since she didn't want her to ask, Qian Xi didn't look into it further, and replied to his question: "The one in the concubine's arms is Chang, and their brothers look exactly the same, the only difference is the mole on the center of the eyebrows, one on the left and one on the right." "The twin brothers, now they are well, and they are at peace in their hearts. Ming Zhuowei listened to her words and looked closely, and sure enough, there was a small cinnabar mole on the right side of the eyebrow of the child in his hand, but if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't tell it.
"Kang Hong, Kang Ze!" Ming Zhuowei suddenly said these two names, and Qian Xi was a little stunned, and he couldn't react for a while. "The name I chose for my child, the eldest son Ming Yasuhiro, and the second son Ming Kangze. Kang is the health of Kang, Hong is the promotion of Hong, Ze is the push of the sea, Ze and the birds and beasts. After speaking, he remembered something, "What words do you know?" ”
"I know, the name of the eldest prince is very good!" I didn't expect Ming Zhuowei to explain and ask, and Qian Xi just said truthfully. When Ming Zhuowei heard the answer, she glanced at her a few times and didn't ask much. The child who had just got a new name Ming Kanghong in Qianxi's arms suddenly refused to move honestly, and arched into Xingxi's arms, Qianxi looked at it and said: "But I'm hungry, don't make trouble, my mother will give you food." ”
Naturally, she lifted her underwear and carefully gave him rations, and suddenly raised her head in hindsight, just in front of Ming Zhuowei's eyes, and the embarrassment that she had never had before made Qian Xi quickly lower her head, and she instinctively raised her son for a while and threw Ming Zhuowei away. Ming Kanghong was dissatisfied that the old lady's attention was not on him, and he bit a thousand regrets in his toothless mouth, although it was not painful, but he still succeeded in recalling the attention of a thousand regrets, and hurriedly coaxed: "Obediently, eat well, eat and sleep." ”
With Qianxi's appeasement, Ming Kanghong quickly ate and drank enough to sleep, Qianxi put him on the couch, and then said to Ming Zhuowei: "Eldest son, give me Kang Ze too." ”
Ming Zhuowei handed the child to Qianxi, who turned sideways and let Ming Kangze eat another.
Ming Zhuowei, who walked out of the door, still looked cold, and Liu Fu greeted him and said, "Eldest son, a letter from the house urging you to return to the house." The young lady is awake? ”
"Hmm!" Ming Zhuowei responded to this, Liu Fu couldn't tell whether he should answer the previous sentence or the next sentence, so he had to say with Ming Zhuowei's black face: "Eldest son, are we going to prepare to go home?" ”
Ming Zhuowei stopped, as if he had just heard Liu Fu's words, "Go back, leave a few of them to guard Zhuangzi." ”
"Hey, the eldest prince should have been like this a long time ago, this time the eldest young lady and the two younger sons are blessed with great fortune, and they have not been poisoned by Miss Cousin and the tiger wolf, but the eldest young lady is now weak after giving birth, and the two little sons are still young, if anyone makes trouble with Zhuangzi again, it will be terrible." Liu Fu poured out all the words in his stomach in one go, Ming Zhuowei snorted coldly, Liu Fu shuddered, covered his mouth and looked at his master in horror.
Without speaking, Liu Fu was so scared, and Ming Zhuowei didn't bother to teach him, walked out of Zhuangzi, crossed the horse and whipped away, and returned to the Ming Mansion, he only lost a sentence with his parents, "My cousin is getting older, and she should choose a son-in-law for her to marry." ”
For the person who dragged him countless times in his previous life, he would not want one in this life, even his cousin. As for who passed the news from Zhuangzi to that idiot, he knew it in his heart and would never let it go.
Qianxi personally fed the child with Ming Zhuowei's acquiescence, although he was frightened on the night of delivery, fortunately he had a solid foundation when he was pregnant, otherwise he really didn't have anything to eat for them. It's just that after all, she was born hard, and her body was still damaged, and the doctor said that she should do a good job in confinement, so that there would be no trouble. Qian Xi saw that Ming Zhuowei didn't mean to abuse her at all, so she did as the doctor said, but she wanted to live a long life and raise her son well, so naturally she would not let go of such an opportunity to be able to raise her body completely.
Fortunately, the two boys are very well-behaved, and they also know that they have suffered when she is pregnant with them, as long as they are full of food and drink, and put them on the kang, they will not make trouble. Li Datou's family stewed a good tonic soup for her every day, Feng Qianqian came to take a look at her belly, and then taught her how to beautify and take care of her belly.
The horror of that night, although Feng Qianqian was indifferent on weekdays, she was thinking about her at a critical moment, not to mention Li Datou and his wife, if it weren't for them, she and those two children would still be somehow so kind to her, she remembered it.
This month, Qianxi sat for two months, and when the doctor announced that her body was well and could move freely, the first month had passed, and on the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, and Qianxi held two pink and tender buns, basking in the sun, listening to them babbling and saying words that only they could understand.
Outside the village listened to a burst of firecrackers, gongs and drums, which was mixed with people's laughter, if it was in Dalian Village before, at this time she was busy making dumplings with the Yang family, a few small ones will also help to help, the family is happy, thinking of this, Li Datou's probe came out, "Young lady, today is February 2nd, let's make dumplings!" ”
"Good!" Qian Xi retracted his thoughts, with those silvers, after two years Zhao Huai and Zhao Bai grew up, their lives would definitely be good. Put the two small ones on the kang, they obediently don't make noise, but their eyes roll with a thousand regrets. Li Datou's family had already finished the stuffing, and was busy rolling out the dumpling skin, and when he saw Qianxi rolling up his sleeves to help, he hurriedly excused himself and said: "Young lady, you don't need to come, you take care of the two little sons, and I'll do it." ”
Qian Xi said: "It's okay for the two of them to lie down, when they were at home before, today they are also making dumplings together." I'll help so that everyone can eat dumplings earlier. ”
Saying that, he also started his hand, picked up the dumpling skin that Li Datou's family had rolled out and wrapped it, these jobs that have been done are used to it, and it is a pity to do it quickly and well, Li Datou's family looks at the dumplings she wrapped, they are really the same size, the same good-looking.
Feng Qianqian heard the voices of Qianxi and Li Datou's family, so she walked in and greeted each other, she teased the two brothers on the kang, and Yu Guang also watched Qianxi make dumplings neatly. The dumplings were wrapped, and Qianxi carried them to cook the dumplings, and Li Datou's family wanted to stop them, and Qianxi said: My aunt took care of me a lot, and today I will cook dumplings for my aunt to eat, and my aunt will sit and taste my craftsmanship.
After these days of contact with Qianxi, Li Datou's family also knew that she was telling the truth, so they no longer shirked, and only said that they would light the fire for Qianxi.
After nightfall, people went back to their rooms, Qianxi coaxed the two children to sleep, but heard a commotion outside, followed by a cold wind, the door was pushed open, and Ming Zhuowei, who was dressed in a black brocade robe, walked in, and from a distance, Qianxi smelled the wine emanating from him.
"The eldest son." Qian Xi got up to give a blessing, Ming Zhuowei's face was flushed after drinking, and he glanced at the child on the bed, "Asleep?" ”
"The concubine just coaxed them to sleep." Qian Xi replied, and saw Ming Zhuowei frowning, "The eldest prince will sit down for a while, and the concubine will go and make you a bowl of sobering soup." ”
Ming Zhuowei answered, Qian Xi turned around and went to the kitchen, and made him a sobering soup, in fact, they were originally strangers, and now, Ming Zhuowei has never felt sorry for her, and these days, he gave her food, and saved her, in the past two months, he often came to visit the two children, no matter what his actions were for, she always had to remember his good things.
Returning with the hot decanting soup, Ming Zhuowei sat in front of the kang, his eyes were on the two children, just looking at his back, but he seemed to see that the person in front of him was not a high-spirited young man, but an old man who was about to die. Shaking her head, she forbade herself to think wildly, and walked to Ming Zhuowei's side, "Big boy, drink the soup." ”
Ming Zhuowei raised her eyes and glanced at her, took the soup and drank it, rubbed her abdomen with her fingers, her movements were hidden, but she was still seen by Qianxi, and Qianxi said, "It's so late, does the eldest prince want to eat something?" Today, the concubine and Aunt Li wrapped some dumplings, which can be eaten, so the concubine will cook some for the eldest son! ”
"Let's cook some then!" Ming Zhuowei spoke, smiled and smiled, and went out again with an empty bowl, and in about a quarter of an hour, she came in with a large bowl of hot dumplings and put them on the table, "Taste it." ”
I just drank the decanting soup, and my mind gradually cleared up, and I saw the bowl of dumplings of the same size, as well as a slurry next to it, "The eldest prince will drink some soup first, and then the dumplings will be dipped in sauce, today is the second day of February, and eating dumplings is called eating dragon ears, and it is auspicious." ”
Ming Zhuowei listened and drank the soup, the soup tasted very good, picked up the chopsticks, listened to the words of Qianxi and dipped a dumpling into the mouth, so continuous action, a large bowl of dumplings entered his mouth, and the hungry and contracted stomach gradually felt better.
Looking up at the woman standing on the side, she also handed over a cup of tea, and then lowered her head to clean up the dishes and chopsticks he had eaten, such a woman who was not good at words and did not understand the meaning of the book, at this moment made his cold heart feel warm again, and the qiē that happened tonight that had obviously been experienced but still made his heart bleed, it didn't seem to hurt him so much.
