Chapter 76

PS: Sprinkle flowers and flowers, it's on the shelves today, thank you for editing coral sauce, thank you for supporting me, thank you for your company to let me go so far thank you!

On a hot day in June, confinement is a crime, Lu Xiaoyi sneaked to the West House several times to see Wang Dongmei covered tightly as usual, with a cotton towel wrapped around her head, wearing a long gown on her body, sitting on the kang with a thin quilt covering her waist and legs, her cheeks were slightly red, but she didn't dare to use a fan, and she used her hands to stir up a trace of wind intermittently, but it was useless.

Due to the lack of ventilation for a long time, the room was stuffy and hot, obviously mixed with a smell of sweat and milky.

Confinement is a postpartum physical recovery method that has been passed down by Chinese women throughout the ages. Lu Xiaoyi was unmarried and childless in her previous life, and she had no experience in confinement, and in this life, she was even more of a little loli and couldn't give advice to confinement women, so she was very interested in not suggesting that Wang Dongmei properly wipe the bath with warm water, let alone properly open the window for ventilation, after all, some so-called scientific confinement methods in the previous life were only accepted by a small number of women, and the vast majority of women still chose to follow the ancient law, which is the case for modern women, not to mention ancient women like Wang Dongmei.

The confinement house smells bad, Lu Xiaoyi hurriedly quits every time she teases her little sister for a while, and the newborn's resistance is low, and less contact with the living is also a kind of protection for her.

In a blink of an eye, at the beginning of July, Wang Dongmei finally came out of confinement, and after a thorough scrubbing, she took her daughter to Yulan's side refreshedly. Lu Xiaoyi saw that she seemed to be a different person, her slightly dark complexion when she first got married is now much whiter, the pregnancy spots in the corners of her eyes are pale seventy-seven eighty-eight, and her appearance when she smiled while holding the child unconsciously exudes a new mother's exuberant look. It makes people inexplicably comfortable and happy to see it.

It's finally out of confinement, if you sit down again. In such a stuffy room, adults and children will get sick from the heat.

Yulan also smiled and praised Wang Dongmei for her good looks. The concubine was chatting happily, the little baby in her arms was noisy, her small voice was like a loud trumpet, wow wow crying but no tears, Wang Dongmei immediately sat up and shook it 'oh oh oh', and took the time to complain to Yulan: "I can't stop for a moment, I have to hold and walk, I knew that she was tossing people like this, it was better to put it in my stomach!" ”

Say it's a complaint. Listening to the ears is full of warmth.

"It's all what you're used to." Yulan pursed her lips and smiled, "Listen to my sister-in-law's words, hurry up and cut off this habit while you are still young, otherwise there will be a time when you will suffer." ”

Wang Dongmei was helpless, "I also want to isolate her, but when she cries, my heart softens again." ”

Yulan looked expected, "Wait, it's small at this time, it doesn't matter if you hug and shake it." When she grows longer and heavier, it will be difficult to hold it, let alone shake, and it will be able to break your arm alive. ”

Magnolia is a person who has come over. What she said must be reasonable, Wang Dongmei looked at the daughter in her arms, and then looked at Yulan. A tangled look on his face.

Magnolia laughed, "Look at you pathetic." Okay, okay, don't worry about it. Do whatever you want! Women, always pamper the first child a little more, and when you give birth to a second, third, or even more, you will not be so attentive. ”

Wang Dongmei smiled and kissed her daughter's little face.

Xiao Ding leaned over and asked, "Little aunt, has my sister been named?" ”

Before Wang Dongmei could answer urgently, Lu Xiaoyi rushed and said: "Haha, I know I know, it must be called Xiao Xin." ”

"In order, it should be called Xiao Xin, so I didn't deliberately ask your grandfather with your uncle, who knew that when I mentioned it today, your grandfather actually said don't call Xiao Xin, let the husband want to go, just take a flower and a leaf." Wang Dongmei was a little apprehensive as she spoke, and asked Yulan again: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by father-in-law?" Xiao Yi is called in order, why is it not in order for my daughter's turn? Could it be that my father-in-law has a prejudice against me last time? ”

Lu Xiaoyi can probably guess Lu Shouzeng's true thoughts about Lu Shouzeng's reluctance to name the name, Yulan can understand better, and said to Wang Dongmei with a smile: "My brother and daughter-in-law are too careful, my father-in-law must have no prejudice against you, as for why you don't choose the name in order, I guess it is for these reasons: Last year, our family went to visit the old lady in the big house in the city, and we won't talk about the unpleasantness, let's just say that the granddaughter of the big house laughed at our family's name Xuehu is not an anti-cat, and later Xiaoyi and his father-in-law went to the city to sell baskets and were found fault by the daughter-in-law of the big house, and the father-in-law will always have an idea in his heart. Just by choosing a name, his attitude was brought out! ”

Lu Xiaoyi felt that Yulan's words should be added, that is, a while ago, it was rumored that Dafang was going back to the village, and when Lu Pozi mentioned those old things, it was strange that Lu Shouzeng's mood could be calm, he was not a fool, he knew best whether the old lady of the Lu family was fair, although he didn't say it, but whether he put it down in his heart for many years, Lu Xiaoyi didn't dare to guarantee, she only felt that as long as it was a person, it was inevitable that there would be seven emotions and six desires, but some people liked to be depressed, and some people liked to show it.

Wang Dongmei didn't know about the affairs of the previous generation, as long as Lu Shouzeng didn't have prejudices against her, she would be relieved, and told Yulan about the full moon wine with a smile.

Yulan smiled: "You can take care of the children with peace of mind, just have the father-in-law and the second child to handle those things." ”

Wang Dongmei nodded, approached Yulan and whispered: "Sister-in-law, did I freak you out when I made such a fuss last time?" Thinking about it now, I just feel sorry for you and your mother, she kindly sent me so many moon gifts, and I was so fierce, it must have scared her old man a lot. ”

"Don't worry, my mother is not the kind of delicate old lady, she wants to start a fire, and her voice can lift the roof." Magnolia smiled comfortingly.

Wang Dongmei's face was gloomy, and she was sincerely guilty.

Yulan continued: "Really, you haven't seen my mother angry, but you should have heard that my mother was obedient to her mother-in-law back then." ”

Wang Dongmei nodded and said honestly: "I have heard." ”

"That's it!" Yulan smiled, "To be honest, I admired you from the bottom of my heart!" really responded to the sentence "stunned and afraid of horizontal, horizontal afraid of dying", you tell me, how could you be ruthless and stick your neck in your neck at that time? What if you really make a good one? ”

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, when my father was fifty taels and wanted to sell me to an old man in the city to be a child, I cried and begged my father. He also kicked me with his feet and begged my mother. But she said that I was selfish, and it was my fault that my two younger brothers couldn't marry! I felt as distressed as if I had been pricked by 10,000 needles. I climbed to the high cliff behind the village in one breath, and my own parents treated me like this, what is the meaning of my life? simply dies a hundred, and in the next life, he will not be reincarnated as a cow or a horse. Wang Dongmei said slowly, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her, her face was expressionless, her speed was not fast, and she said word by word to make the listener sad.

Lu Xiaoyi deliberately looked at Wang Dongmei's eyes, but they were not red. On the other hand, Yulan has already begun to take out her handkerchief and wipe her tears.

Wang Dongmei said: "People often rely on a force when they are looking for death, and when that momentum is dispersed, when they face death alone, that fear rises from the bottom of their hearts, I was standing on the cliff, as long as I jumped so lightly, I can be completely liberated, but I am also afraid, otherwise I will not be obedient in the pleading voice of my father." ”

Magnolia wiped her tears. Choked up and said, "It's good for Amitabha Buddha to come down, it's good to come down." ”

Wang Dongmei was still immersed in her own thoughts, and continued: "I know that their pleas are fake, and they are not afraid of my death. I'm afraid that if I die, his two sons will have to be beaten for the rest of their lives... Now that I think about it, I'm glad I didn't jump in the first place, otherwise where would I have her? "Finished. Kiss the daughter in her arms.

"Sister-in-law, I deliberately made such a fuss during the confinement. You can't blame me, do you? ”

"Don't look for death and life at a young age, it's not a joke." Magnolia Road.

"Huh. I'm very afraid of death now, how could I really seek death, and I also found out, this woman has to make a fuss, the more you accept your fate, the more you suffer, you said that if I accepted my fate to be small, can I have a peaceful life today? Definitely not! My mother's family is unreliable, you say that I am not so noisy in the confinement, but I am wronged and begged to be abused by my mother-in-law, do you say that my daughter and I can eat enough? ”

Wang Dongmei asked rhetorically, poking every word on Yulan's heart.

Magnolia sighed, "Hey! If I had acted like you, I would have suffered a lot less sin! ”

"I am willing to suffer in exchange for a separate family, but my mother's family is not as good as my sister-in-law's family, so I can only compare with my mother-in-law."

Speaking of this, Yulan and Wang Dongmei were silent.

Lu Xiaoyi also thought silently, although Yulan and Dongmei both married into the Lu family, but the two have different personalities and different families, so the methods they take are different, and the results they get are also different.

The two were talking, but they didn't realize that when they got to the meal, Mrs. Lu was actually scolding Wang Dongmei in the West Courtyard under the pretense of scolding chickens, Wang Dongmei didn't care, she got up with a smile and said goodbye to Yulan, and Yulan kept a few words before sending her out.

Mrs. Lu was touching the eggs, leaning sideways beside the chicken pen, holding the apron with one hand and carrying the eggs, and continuing to explore in the chicken coop with the other, seeing Wang Dongmei coming over slowly with the child in her arms, she said: "Don't you care about the old and young at home if you are not hungry?" Yes! It doesn't matter if you don't care about the old, you gave birth to the younger, and you don't care about her hunger? ”

Wang Dongmei said: "I didn't go far, I just sat at my sister-in-law's house, and I came over in three or two steps if there was something." After speaking, he walked straight to the West House, and shouted Lu Yong in his mouth: "Husband, I've been thinking about it all morning, have you come up with a good name?" ”

Wang Dongmei entered the house, came out after a while, changed into old clothes, handed over her daughter to Lu Yong to hold, and informed Mrs. Lu that she would go to the field to pick melons and vegetables with a basket.

"Auntie wait for me, I'm going to pick vegetables too." Lu Xiaoyi followed with the basket, "Auntie, has the uncle thought of his sister's name?" ”

Wang Dongmei covered her mouth and smiled, "Not yet?" How many words can he read in total? It's really embarrassing for him to think of a name, when I first entered the house, I heard him talk about lotus chrysanthemums or something, and I want to give my daughter a flower name, right? ”

The lotus is still okay, will the chrysanthemum be a little inappropriate? Lu Xiaoyi admits that she is evil, but how can she be blamed for this!

Lu Xiaoyi thought for a while and proposed, "Auntie, why don't you call Xiaofeng!" The phoenix of the impatiens. ”

The phoenix of the impatiens, Lu Xiaoyi secretly laughed in his heart, it was actually Lu Xiaofeng's phoenix, ah! This name Dora boom! Soon she understood that she was the only one who felt that it was just a boom, and for the ancients, Lu Xiaofeng was no match for a impatiens.

Lu Xiaoyi's name is incompetent, Wang Dongmei and Lu Yong's name is even more incompetent, and now the short man is taller, Lu Xiaoyi's proposal was immediately praised by Wang Dongmei: "Okay, good, it's a hundred times stronger than the lotus chrysanthemum that your uncle thought, and this time is the season when the impatiens bloom, and this name is just in time!" ”

The two happily came to the vegetable field, because the vegetable field is adjacent to each other, picking melons and pulling vegetables does not affect their speech.

Lu Xiaoyi put down the basket and picked a cucumber with thorns on the top, wiped off the tender thorns and ate it with a click.

Wang Dongmei laughed at her, "The cucumbers are full, so you won't eat at noon?" ”

"Hee-hee, just eat one!" Lu Xiaoyi stretched out a finger.

After eating, I went under the vine trellis to pick some cowpeas and cucumbers, and pulled some green vegetables. Vegetable insects are Lu Xiaoyi's biggest headache, many emerald green leaves were bitten out of fragmented holes by vegetable insects, she had to look carefully at the back of vegetable leaves, and found that the green insects were caught and trampled to death.

The Buddha smiled, and Lu Xiaoyi caught insects and stepped on them, one in the clouds and the other in the vegetable field.

In her previous life, she was very afraid of insects, and always felt that this kind of soft and boneless thing was the most terrifying existence in the world, in this life she is a farmer, and she is afraid that insects will be laughed at, and in this era without pesticides, manual insect catching is a must, especially when she saw the well-behaved Xiao Ding and the cute Xiao Geng catching insects without fear and trampling to death, Lu Xiaoyi gritted her teeth and secretly warned herself: Don't be afraid!

Therefore, when she pinched the soft and writhing insect body for the first time, her fingers became extremely sharp, and she could clearly feel the sticky hairs on the insect's feet scraping on her fingers, and even when the insect head was frequently turned and twisted, she obviously felt that her fingers were stiff. Until the insect was resolutely thrown on the ground by her and trampled into a puddle of green juice, Lu Xiaoyi felt that he was about to vomit, and the fear from the bottom of his heart was finally accustomed to it after self-challenge again and again.
