Chapter 231: Joy and Mourning
The pomp and circumstance of Du Xiaoxi's return to her parents' house was very large, at least in the eyes of the villagers, it was a decent pomp and circumstance that the rich and young grandmothers in the city did not have. More than a dozen minions followed, and there were a few carts of things, and everyone sighed that Du Xiaoxi was living a good life.
This is the first time Du Xiaoxi has returned to her parents' house after entering Beijing, Liu Yao did not follow her, Du Xiaoxi came back with the child silently, and I don't know what to say behind my back.
Du Xiaoxi deliberately took so many people all the way back to Dujia Village, just to let Daddy Du and them know that his daughter was doing very well in her husband's house, even if she was far away, they didn't have to worry. By the way, it can also block those eight women who can't eat grapes and think that grapes are sour.
After all, Du Xiaoxi and a large group of them walked slowly, and when they arrived at the door, Father Du had been waiting for a long time with a large family.
"Daddy! Mother! β
Du Xiaoxi rushed straight over and shouted excitedly.
Daddy Du directly fished the little star in Du Xiaoxi's arms, and when he saw the grinning white fat doll, he was very happy and said to his sons beside him: "Ouch! Our little star is becoming more and more like his grandfather, let grandpa kiss and kiss the incense! Saying that, I want to kiss my grandson's white and tender little face.
The corners of Brother Du's mouth twitched, father, you are old and black, that fat, which eye sees that other people's white and tender dolls are like you?
The Liu family is a relatively reserved family, and they have never had a habit of doing things to their own children. Du Xiaoxi doesn't care so much, he kisses his son from time to time, and the two of them come and go to enhance the relationship between mother and son.
The subtle Liu family saw their grandson and his mother kissing each other, as if they were a person, and they couldn't hold back now, and gave a demonic kiss to the little star one by one.
This kiss is incredible!
Liu Yao was kissed by his son, and his father's love burst out in an instant, and he felt that what the ancients said, 'hugging grandchildren but not hugging children' is a fallacy! If you don't hug your soft son and kiss him, he must be a stepfather!
Mrs. Liu was kissed by her saliva-biting great-grandson, and she felt more beautiful than using the finest rouge gouache moisturizer, and she was smiling happily all day long, and she was eighteen years younger.
After Liu Erye was secretly kissed by his grandson, he felt that he had lived to the belly of a dog before! Where is the woman's bloody mouth where is the grandson who loves his grandfather, and his grandson is spicy and likes him as a grandfather.
In short, the Liu family is addicted!
They all fell in love with parent-child interaction with Little Star.
Du Xiaoxi is a little worried, the whole family wants to rob her of her son's favor, and it is swollen!
The little star, who couldn't speak at the time, was even more worried.
The first kiss was just curiosity.
Daddy's cheeks are tender and smooth, and we really have good skin!
But what the hell is the old man and the old lady in the back!
A wrinkled one that scares a crying little pot friend, a big monster with spikes on its face!
That monster who keeps calling me grandpa, your prickly baby hurts! Whining~~
As the patriarch of the family, Liu Erye naturally would not do such an intimate thing with his grandson in public. Every time, it is carried out secretly for fear of damaging the majesty.
Yes, the little star's resistance when he was stabbed was regarded as the interaction between his grandson and his grandfather's love, look, look, the grandson will pinch his face with his little hands!
Scratching your face can't drive away the old monster, and you can't change the fate of the baby star being stabbed, so the little star resists more fiercely!
Scratch the hair!
Baby I scratch the hair!
After Liu Erye was caught with more than a dozen long hairs, he reduced the number of times he was a light grandson with hatred. Waiting for the little star to simply spit out the words, he was rejected by the words "no!\- and only hated that he was too stupid and naΓ―ve!"
The two months of offensive and defensive kissing battles between grandparents and grandchildren are still outstanding.
Liu Erye successfully attacked the bad old man that Xiaoxing hated the most, and Xiaoxing practiced the supreme hair-grabbing **.
Scratch the hair** good! Not only did he successfully resist his grandfather who could prick people, but he also rejected his grandmother who would lose powder!
Mother's Kiss! Daddy kiss!
Kiss the stars together!
The three of us are a happy and happy family!
In other words, the mood of the little star baby today is particularly beautiful!
Sitting in the cradle of the big ship for more than a month, the little star hangs in a few small places every day, and the baby is tired of it!
I suddenly changed the map today, and I can feel the down-to-earth feeling when I am hugged by my mother.
Along the way, the flowers are fragrant, the grass is fragrant, and even the horse's cry is cheerful.
Looking at the big basin face that was attacking his white and tender little face, the little star waved his high-spirited paws!
Dare to be light and thin, look at the master's supreme hair**!
"Oops!" Daddy Du hugged the little star tightly with both hands, leaned his head towards the little star, and said with a proud smile: "The little guy's hands are really strong, fast and accurate, and he looks like a member of our old Du family!" β
Du Xiaoxi saw that Xiaoxing treated Daddy Du with the same trick he did to his grandfather, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hold his hand and persuaded softly: "Little Star let go quickly, grandpa will hurt, our little star is a good baby, let go quickly, or my mother will be angry." β
Seeing that her mother had a straight face, Xiaoxing obediently let go of her hand, pouted and stretched out her arms to Du Xiaoxi to hug.
Seeing that his daughter's face was not good-looking, and his grandson looked aggrieved, he said to Du Xiaoxi with a tiger face: "How old is the child, what do you know?" What do you scare him? Isn't it just grabbing two hairs? It's cool to catch bald until summer! β
Others are big ghosts, and they know a lot!
The trick of grabbing his hair has already defeated his grandmother and grandfather!
Seeing that the father and daughter didn't speak, Du Niang hurriedly urged: "What are you doing standing?" Hurry up and get home! β
Du Xiaoxi sent more than a dozen people back to Liu's house in a timely manner, but her family didn't have so much food for them to eat.
There was still a word of unwritten white paper glued to the door, and in a few places the paste was burst by the sun, and the white paper rattled in the wind.
When I entered the courtyard, there were still white cloths hanging in many places.
Du Xiaoxi followed into the main house, and Daddy Du handed the little star to Du Xiaoxi and sat next to him and said, "You kowtow to your grandma!" β
Du Xiaoxi kowtowed three heads silently, and also kowtowed three times while holding the little star.
Father Du sighed and continued, "In a few days, you will go to the grave to have a look." β
Du Xiaoxi answered, not knowing what to say.
After Grandma Du was gone, she sent a message to Kyoto, and because they went to Liuyuan in the middle of the time, they were delayed for more than ten days, and now Grandma Du missed all the most important Qiqi.
Seeing the guilt on his daughter's face, Father Du smiled, "Don't feel bad, your grandmother is happy and sad, and she can leave peacefully." After bathing and dressing, and gnawing on a hoof, I called your brother and aunt and talked for a long time.
Walking in sleep at night is not bitter at all. Your grandmother also told us not to feel bad, and she went to find your grandfather. She makes us all happy, and you don't have to feel bad. β
Grandma Du is seventy-six years old, and she is a lucky person to leave so peacefully. The elderly who leave with joy and sorrow are recognized as blessed, and their next life will be safe and sound.
The old man was not guilty, and left a message before leaving, which is not as difficult to accept as other families. Although everyone in the family is reluctant, they will not grieve too much.
Du Xiaoxi felt better when she heard this, and it was better to leave with a smile than to be tortured by illness and leave.
Du Niang saw that her daughter's face was better, so she asked, "Why didn't Xiaotu's child come back with you, but the yamen is too busy?" β
When the elders of the family pass away, as a grandson-in-law, they must come to worship. Liu Yao didn't come with Du Niang, and she was always unsure.
"A few days ago, we took the little star back to Weicheng Liuyuan's hometown to go to the family tree, Liuyuan is closer to Kyoto than our home, but the carriage is slow, and it took more than three months to go back and forth. Liu Yao has taken a long vacation for more than three months this year, and it is no longer allowed to ask for more. β
Listening to Du Xiaoxi say that it was because of the genealogy of a little star, the Du family remembered that Du Xiaoxi said in his letter a few years ago, and now they knew the reason why Liu Yao didn't come. No matter what happens, if the son-in-law doesn't come to see it, they are always unhappy in their hearts.
Daddy Du nodded and said, "The matter in the yamen is important, just kowtow another day, your grandmother won't mind." β
After saying something about Grandma Du, the family's eyes turned to the little star who was holding a brightly colored purse and rubbing it around.
"This kid is so good-looking, and he is carved out of the same mold as Xiaotu." Du Niang hugged her grandson's chubby waist and praised.
Du Xiaoxi pouted, she was going to die or live when she was born, Liu Yao said conclusively that the child looked like her, but the result was all a lie!
The two of them looked like father and son together, and she was a passerby!
"In the future, the little nephew will definitely take the same test as his brother-in-law!"
"How can Tanhua be enough, to be the champion!"
"I also want to earn a wife for my sister, which is the envy of everyone!"
A few sisters-in-law, you praise Xiaoxing one by one, and sigh that Du Xiaoxi has a good life.
After talking for a while, several sisters-in-law were driven by Du Niang to cook and work. Daddy Du also took his sons to pack up the things that his daughter brought back.
Du Niang took the opportunity to pull Du Xiaoxi to talk about homely things.
"Xiaotu is good to you?" After speaking, without waiting for Du Xiaoxi to answer, he continued: "I thought that the Liu family was also in the county, and the two families lived closely, so if there was anything to help, your brothers could also support you." But we all forgot that his child was going to school, and now it's good, it's so far away from home all of a sudden, and we can't help you if you have anything! β
Du Xiaoxi hurriedly persuaded, "Mother, don't worry, I don't have anything to worry about, and I'm doing well." You're not around, aren't you still my master? And my senior brother is also there, with them as backers, no one dares to bully me!
Not to mention the Liu family, for more than 20 years, they have already raised me as a daughter. After I gave birth to a little star, I was treated better. When Xiaoxing was born, my father-in-law directly gave me a big Zhuangzi to use as private money.
At home, I eat what I want, buy what I want, and my life is good. If nothing else, they didn't agree that I would come back alone with Little Star. No, I said it a few more times and they all agreed. If I'm not doing well, how can they be willing to let me bring the little star out! β
Du Niang glanced at the meat dumplings crawling around on the bed, and agreed with her daughter's words.
Based on the Liu family's fancy for their son, if they hadn't believed that the girl would definitely not have let her take the child out so far. I want to come to my daughter's life is really good, so it's good, it's good, and they are always worried.
The mother and daughter talked for a long time, and they didn't leave the house until they shouted for dinner outside.
Grandma Du's 100 days have not yet passed, and everyone in the family needs to be vegetarian. It's just that I'm afraid that the children won't have enough nutrition, so one person has more bowls of egg custard.
After eating, Du Xiaoxi and Xiaoxing simply freshened up and fell asleep.
On the second day, when Du Xiaoxi woke up, it was already three poles old, and when she went out, she saw the ninth sister-in-law working lightly in the yard.
Seeing Du Xiaoxi coming out with the child in his arms, Xu Yao, who was picking up beans, hurriedly smiled and said, "There is hot rice in the pot, go eat it!" Dad went to dig bamboo shoots early in the morning, saying that he ate it cold at noon. β
"Thank you, sister-in-law, I'm going to eat." Du Xiaoxi smiled and thanked him, and then took Xiaoxing to wash his hands and face.
There is rice porridge in the pot, and a sauerkraut and tofu bun is hot, and there is a bowl of steamed eggs and two boiled eggs next to it.
The kitchen is small, so Du Xiaoxi planned to bring something to the yard to eat.
Xu Yao saw Du Xiaoxi coming out with the child in one hand and the bowl in the other, and hurriedly ran over and said, "You sit, I'll serve it to you!" So saying, he ran back to the house and brought out all the rest of the things.
Xu Yao is Du Xiaoxi's ninth sister-in-law, and when she entered the door, Du Xiaoxi also entered the Liu family, and the two didn't spend much time together, and they couldn't be as comfortable as when they were with the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law.
Du Xiaoxi scooped up the egg custard and fed it to Xiaoxing, and when he stopped eating, he changed to rice porridge. Little Star tasted different tastes and eats a lot with his mouth open.
Du Xiaoxi saw that the courtyard was quiet and there was no one, so he asked, "Where did the nephews and nieces go?" There was no shadow in the morning. β
Xu Yao's subordinates neatly picked out the rotten soybeans, and said without raising their heads: "They all went to dig wild vegetables, and now is the time when there is a shortage of vegetables." The radish and cabbage at home have already been eaten, and the vegetables in the field have not come out. It just so happens that wild vegetables have grown on the mountain, which can be regarded as an added dish. β
The two of them said without saying a word, and seeing that Du Xiaoxi finished eating, Xu Yao came up directly and took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash and put them away, looking like you don't have to do anything.
The sun was fine, and Du Xiaoxi pulled Xiaoxing to practice walking in the courtyard.
"Where did they go, brother?"
"I can't kill pigs recently, the third brother and they went back to the shop to see the storefront, and the second brother and they dug up the dung."
Du Xiaoxi was very puzzled: "Second brother, don't you go to see the shop?" Hasn't the dock family always been in charge of the second brother? Why didn't the second brother go? β
Xu Yao was silent for a moment and replied: "Last year, the shop let the starling and the eighth sister-in-law take over, and now the starling and the eighth sister-in-law are in charge." β
Du Xiaoxi guessed that there must be some reason for this, and planned to go back and ask Du Niang.
"Digging manure? What kind of dung to dig up? Do you want to fertilize the fields? β
Xu Yao looked up at Du Xiaoxi and said happily: "What I dug is the dung accumulated from the cabbage that my sister came up with back then." Those rotten roots and rotten leaves are buried in the soil for the winter, and they can be used in the spring of this year. A few days ago, the land was prepared, and today I have to pick up the soil and dry the fertilizer. β
