Chapter 164: Little Day
When he arrived at Liu's house, Du Xiaoxi went to Mrs. Liu to report as usual, and after being pulled by the old man and asked, Du Xiaoxi was driven to Liu Yao's yard.
Du Xiaoxi has been accustomed to the strange life mode of the Liu family over the years, Mrs. Liu lives with her son and grandson, and Du Xiaoxi's mother-in-law and a group of sisters-in-law usually don't see each other except for occasional appearances.
For this phenomenon, Du Xiaoxi once asked Liu Yao, Liu Yao himself couldn't say clearly, in his memory, his family has always been like this, his mother likes to go out to play, and his sisters rarely come over except for asking for peace, and they are very tired of learning talents every day.
As soon as Du Xiaoxi stepped into the courtyard, Liu Yao, who was sitting by the window reading a book, threw a book and greeted him. When Du Xiaoxi came over, someone ran over to sue him, but he was afraid that his grandmother would be unhappy, so Liu Yao kept sitting in front of the window and pretending to read a book and waiting for Sister Xi to come over.
"You're here!" Liu Yao looked at Du Xiaoxi with a smile, and stepped forward to pull her into the study.
Du Xiaoxi looked up at Liu Yao, secretly compared, and asked, "Why do I think you have grown taller again?" ”
Liu Yao stopped his steps, and compared the height of Bidu Xiaoxi to his shoulder with the palm of his hand, and said very certainly: "I haven't grown taller, just like last time, the clothes I am wearing today are newly made by the embroiderer, and they are made narrow and thin, and they don't change at all when they look tall." Or do you make clothes that are comfortable to wear, when will you make me a set? ”
Du Xiaoxi was 158 tall in his previous life, which was a proper little dwarf on their side, and he was the vanguard who stood in the upper left corner since he was a child in physical education class. What's more, there is a 165 sister, Du Xiaoxi has been looking forward to a second development even if she goes to college, and strives to break through 160.
Liu Yao is often pulled by Du Xiaoxi to be taller. knew that she had always wanted to grow taller, but it was not obvious, so she took the opportunity to change the topic.
"No matter what, you have an embroidery lady for you, what else do you want me to do?" Saying that, Du Xiaoxi shook Liu Yao's hand and entered the study alone.
Seeing that the flowers he brought were casually thrown in the basin, Du Xiaoxi took out scissors from the small cabinet and took the two vases on the high table and began to prune.
There are a lot of wild flowers growing on the mountain behind the small river in Dujia Village, Du Xiaoxi will run over to pick them when she lives at home, and when she lives in the county town, her nephews will also bring her a handful when they catch fish, and over time Du Xiaoxi likes to put a vase in the room.
Now it is the mountains and flowers, and when I come to find Liu Yao, I often bring some over.
Liu Yao took off his robe and sat next to him to help Du Xiaoxi choose beautiful flower branches. Discuss together to come up with a look that both of them are satisfied with. Waiting to insert the two vases, the two looked at each other and smiled, warm and normal.
Liu Yao took the pen and scribbled on the rice paper, and soon a swaying lotus flower jumped on the paper, and Du Xiaoxi sat next to him and propped his arm on the table and said without a word.
Liu Yao is learning God for Du Xiaoxi. Poetry and etiquette riding and archery will be. Occasionally, he will play the piano for Du Xiaoxi. Du Xiaoxi really felt that she was prescient back then. With such an all-round male ticket, what is she doing learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, was she hit?
Liu Yao paints the best. I heard that Liu Erye once boasted that there was a wandering Chinese painting master who wanted to accept Liu Yao as an apprentice, but Liu Erye and Mrs. Liu were reluctant to let Liu Yao run from south to north, so they reluctantly refused.
The two talked and laughed until noon, and after eating and waiting for Mrs. Liu to sleep, Du Xiaoxi said about the little aunt's slate, and Liu Erye immediately said that they were all his own relatives, and he would let people do it.
Waiting for Liu Erye to leave, seeing that there was no one on the road, Liu Yao pulled Du Xiaoxi back to the yard hand in hand.
"Cousin, my aunt made white fungus soup and asked me to send it to my cousin."
Coming over to the slender girl, Du Xiaoxi thought it was Liu Yao's sister at first, but when she got closer, it turned out to be her former cousin He Weiwei.
Du Xiaoxi fainted, not to mention that she didn't save her when she saw death, she was abducted and sold, and missed the opportunity to be rescued, which made Liu Yao suffer a lot and became dumb for a few years, and Mrs. Liu hated her to death. Later, her father slandered the Liu family for selling salt, so that the two levels almost turned against each other, how did this girl enter the door of the Liu family? Looks like it's been a long time.
Liu Yao stopped and said coldly: "No need, we just eat." As he spoke, he led Du Xiaoxi, who looked confused, and walked forward.
He Weiwei glanced at the hands held by the two resentfully, and stomped her feet to catch up, "Cousin, Zhuangzi sent fresh cherries over, I'll send them to my cousin later." ”
"I said no, I have it in my yard, we have a nap later, don't you come over!"
Du Xiaoxi turned his head to look at the little cousin who swallowed white fungus soup alone in one breath, scratched Liu Yao's palm and asked in a whisper, "Why is she here?" Grandma agreed? ”
"The third uncle was exiled, a few days ago came the news that last year was swept away by the sea and could not come back, the third uncle remarried, grandma and grandpa were gone, no one wanted to raise her, she came over and begged her mother to bring her in. The grandmother disagreed, saying that she wanted to kick people out, but the mother did not agree, and finally said that she could only stay in her mother's yard and not come to the family. I just came out knowing that my grandmother was taking a nap. ”
Liu Yao didn't say that his mother wanted to let his little cousin be his concubine again, but he resolutely disagreed, Mrs. Liu felt that she was unlucky, and Second Master Liu felt that she was not worthy of her baby son at all, so naturally no one agreed.
After waking up, Du Xiaoxi was called by Mrs. Liu.
When Du Xiaoxi was hungry, Mrs. Liu was playing mahjong with the three grandmothers, and it seems that Mama Gui, who is in charge of the silver, eats all three.
Seeing Du Xiaoxi coming, Mrs. Liu hurriedly shouted, "Girl, come and show grandma." ”
Du Xiaoxi obediently sat next to Mrs. Liu, ready to fight a protracted battle.
The old lady is a good money spender, playing mahjong in an afternoon to win money the number of times to make up a slap is not easy, recently I like to let Du Xiaoxi show her cards to give ideas.
"Old lady, the stew is ready."
"Girl, drink it!" Old Madam Liu drew the card neatly and motioned to Du Xiaoxi to quickly eliminate the tonic she had carefully prepared.
Du Xiaoxi sat next to him with a crying face and drank slowly.
Mrs. Liu felt that Du Xiaoxi had not come to her aunt because the food at home was too poor, and every time Du Xiaoxi came over, there were all kinds of soup and water. Make up for it!
Du Xiaoxi was full, sat and pointed out the old lady to play the card, and after half an hour, he felt his stomach swell and ran out.
took off his pants and saw a little red on his pants Du Xiaoxi was a little square.
Is this the rhythm that the Great Aunt was summoned by her?
wiped it with a tissue paper, and after making sure that his relatives were really here, Du Xiaoxi habitually complained about the local tyrants of the Liu family, and he had to use such good paper when he went to the toilet.
No contrast, no harm.
Du Xiaoxi collapsed when he went to the toilet for the first time at home, not to mention the pile of dung in the back, even those smooth big stones Du Xiaoxi was worried that he would fall down if he stepped on it. As for wiping the butt. It's not as miserable as the leaves. Instead, use sun-dried bud husks, one is not enough, two are together.
Mrs. Liu was leaving for her granddaughter-in-law, and she was sullen about losing money again. Mama Rong whispered in her ear that Du Xiaoxi had grown up. The old lady immediately jumped up for joy.
"It's really blessed by our ancestors. Thank you to the gods and Buddhas! Take me to see it! ”
Mama Rong helped the old lady and went directly to the cubicle in the old lady's house.
The cubicle was originally where Liu Yao lived when he was a child, and the area was larger than where the old lady lived. Her old family also hopes that her great-grandson will live here.
Du Xiaoxi was holding the quilt and drinking brown sugar water, looking at Mrs. Liu's chrysanthemum face that she hadn't seen for a long time, Du Xiao almost squirted out the things in her mouth.
"The girl has finally grown up, it's really a good grandson to wait!"
"It's almost June, Rong Xiang hurry up and let Zi'an see if there are any good days recently."
"Oops! Pack some good things, and we'll go to my in-laws' house later! ”
"The old woman has been waiting for so long, and it's finally here!"
Mrs. Liu excitedly praised Du Xiaoxi and praised it, and greeted the three grandmothers who were going to go to Du's house.
Du Xiaoxi smashed his face on the quilt, eager to cover himself.
What's this called?
She is only sixteen, graduated from junior high school, and ushered in a girl in the face of high school! This special person is going to be married back and die in a trick!
Great Auntie! You can't wait until I get home to come to the door, at least for a few months!
No one can understand Du Xiaoxi's resentment, and everyone is happily preparing to go to Du's house.
Liu Yao ran over with a red face when she got the news, and Mama Gui, who was guarding Du Xiaoxi, went out intimately and closed the door.
"Are you alright?"
Liu Yao didn't know what a girl 'grew up' was, but when she thought that Du Xiaoxi would be able to get married when she grew up, the shame on Liu Yao's face couldn't go down.
"It's fine." This kind of thing was publicized with great fanfare, and Du Xiaoxi still accepted it a little badly, and replied with a blushing face.
"Yes, that's good."
A long silence ensued.
"I'll be good to you, just to you."
Liu Yao stared at Du Xiaoxi's eyes and ran out after speaking.
Du Xiaoxi looked at the thin figure who ran out and smiled.
Mrs. Liu was very mobile, but she ran to Du's house alone in half an hour, and she didn't know what she said, so she brought Du Niang back when she came back.
Du Niang drove away Liu Yao, who saw her mother-in-law coming over and took the initiative to come over, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the girl who was leaning on the pillow and doing nothing, patted Du Xiaoxi's hand and said, "Lie down?" Don't sit? ”
"Huh?"
Du Xiaoxi was puzzled, but still obediently did it.
Du Niang began to give Du Xiaoxi science what it is to grow up.
"This woman has to be pampered, giving birth to a child is a fatal event, in order to be able to give birth to a child smoothly, you must pay attention to raising it.
Small days, small confinements, giving birth to children, and big confinements are all things that a woman must experience in her life.
Don't think that having a baby is okay with anything else. This small day is the most important, usually the child does a good day, so that the little confinement will not be good, and when giving birth to a child, it can also be smooth and profitable, and the big confinement can be raised well. Look at your sisters-in-law, usually when they come to the kitchen, they don't let them do the work in the kitchen, and now your sisters-in-law and nephews are not sick or recuperating, right? ”
Du Xiaoxi nodded thoughtfully, there are many sisters-in-law in the family, and the work is taken by day by day, Du Niang stipulates that whoever wants to come to Xiaori does not have to work for a few days. Because of this, the second sister-in-law has made trouble several times. The second sister-in-law has a total of three days, the eldest sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law, and the fourth sister-in-law have five days and seven days. It's so unfair!
Old Madam Liu, Mama Rong, Mama Gui and others also nodded in agreement.
Sure enough, the rumors outside are good, and the Jiang family really has a secret recipe for giving birth.
The capable people who can give birth to nine sons and feed nine sons are in front of them, and they must seize the opportunity to learn more secrets of having sons.
Lala said a lot of precautions, Du Niang looked at the girl who was staring at her with big watery eyes, and continued: "And just now, don't sit and stand for a long time when the small day comes, otherwise your waist will not be good in the future." ”
Du Xiaoxi nodded obediently, but she retorted in her heart, and the back pain was obviously the sequelae of having too many children.
Du Niang is now in her early fifties, she already has gray hair on her head, and she often has back pain, Du Xiaoxi has always believed that this is because Du Niang's body is too heavy caused by having too many children.
Du Xiaoxi disagreed, but Mrs. Liu and the people around her agreed very much, if it weren't for the fact that it was not good to steal teachers from Zhengda, they all wanted to write down what Du Niang said word by word, as a treasure book for raising children.
In the end, Du Niang didn't finish talking for two hours, and was invited by the courteous old lady Liu to have a meal, and went back to Du's shop alone.
Du Xiaoxi, who was finally liberated, seemed to howl: she was a big aunt in her belly, not a little tadpole! Are you so nervous? I won't let my home go back!
By the time Du Xiaoxi returned home refreshed, it was already five days later, accompanied by the masters of the Liu family, and even the second lady Liu, who rarely showed up, came.
The goal of Mrs. Liu's trip is very clear: to choose a wedding day for her good grandson.
Grandma Du and Mrs. Liu have the same thoughts, and the two of them pick auspicious days one by one. Daddy Du thinks that her daughter is still young, and you are unreasonable to put on this face, I just don't agree. Du Niang and Mrs. Liu complimented each other, but in the end, it was up to the men to say what they said.
"Old sister, I think the eighth day of the eighth month of August is a good day, prosperous wealth and prosperous family and prosperous children!"
"No, no, it's very hot in August, and I like to be so thick and suffer a lot!"
"And what about September 23?"
"No, when the late rice is being harvested, there is a lot of work in the field, and the relatives will definitely not be able to come!"
"What about October 16?"
"Yes, yes, I'm looking at October 23 and it's good, how do you look?"
"All good! All good! ”
Second Master Liu touched a glass with Father Du, and asked with a smile: "In-laws, which day do you think is good?" ”
Daddy Du glanced at his daughter secretly, and smiled back: "I still have to ask my daughter's master about this, the day that the master calculated must be the best!" ”
Liu Erye "......"
What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless, but I'm really anxious!
