In the blink of an eye, Changsheng has been home for more than a month, and the north of Jin is already cold, no wonder the ancient poem says: "Hutian is snowing in August", here has not yet reached Hudi, it has been extremely cold. She forced herself to work hard to adapt to life and the climate, afraid of being blown by the north wind in the cold land and old her skin, so she helped the cook cook three meals a day, and knitted cloth and needlework in the house every day, hardly leaving the house.

After she went home, she took a total of four baths, and each time she took Yusheng to wash together, which was a luxury in this water-scarce place. Xu is the moisture of water vapor, Xu is the effect of jasmine facial fat, Yusheng looks whiter than when he first saw it, Changsheng's skin is as white and clean as ever, and he has not been blown by the wind in the north for half a minute.

Because of the extreme cold, heating in winter is a very expensive and important thing. Fortunately, there are many trees on the mountain, and most brothers have a common charcoal kiln to burn charcoal for their own use, and they can also rent someone else's. When the weather was not very cold, the father and son of the Zhou family took the time to burn enough charcoal for a winter, and also prepared enough firewood, although it was not as good as the palace, but finally solved the heating problem in winter.

What she admires is that on such a cold day, they still get up early every day to make tofu, and as soon as the day is bright, they pick it out and sell it against the biting cold wind, which makes Changsheng's resentment and alienation a little less, after all, they are wholeheartedly for this family.

She insisted on rubbing her face with a small piece of warm tofu residue with Yusheng every morning, and then washed it after applying goat's milk, which provoked her sister-in-law and brother-in-law to follow suit.

She begged her mother, don't mention her marriage for the time being, and finally returned home, she wants to be happy under her father's knees for a while, and everything will wait for the New Year. Although Zhou Wang's family was anxious about her marriage, she was distressed that her daughter had been away from home for a long time, so she agreed, but secretly still asked someone to find someone with comparable conditions, and then mention the family matter after the year.

In fact, Changsheng is just trying to find another way to stall for time. Although the home is warm, she clearly knows that she will never be able to stand living here for the rest of her life, and her family will not be able to tolerate an old girl who has too high requirements for the quality of life for a long time.

On this day, the eldest sister Qiaosheng came alone, and after Changsheng came back, she only saw her two or three times in total, and she always felt that she couldn't get close, and she was afraid that she would mention some previous things and expose flaws, so she tried to avoid contact with her.

When I came to my mother's bedroom, I saw Qiaosheng sitting on the kang and crying very panicked, and Zhou Wang wiped his tears on the side and scolded his son-in-law Ge Youde for not being human, and scolded her mother-in-law for being unkind.

Changsheng took off his shoes and went to the kang and asked what was going on. In her opinion, the sister who talked about several sides was a greedy and jealous person, and the moment she saw her on the day she first came back, her eyes were full of jealousy, and there was no joy of reunion after a long absence, until she gave a generous gift.

The brother-in-law, who is also a stranger, is also a person with a bad heart, and every time he looks at Changsheng, he is very restless, and he always wants to find an opportunity to say something out of tune with her, which makes Changsheng tired and annoyed, so he tries to avoid him as little as possible on the grounds that he is afraid of life.

Today, seeing that my sister came alone, without a child, Ge Youde did not come with her for the first time, and cried so much that he was a little puzzled, so he pretended to persuade: "What is my sister crying about?" Why didn't my brother-in-law come along? How many nieces are taken care of? ”

Qiao Sheng stopped crying and looked over, Changsheng clearly saw a trace of deep hatred flashing in her eyes very quickly, and he was shocked in his heart, and he suddenly became vigilant.

Qiaosheng soon looked sad and angry: "This Ge Youde, said that I couldn't give birth to a son, and I would give birth to some money-losing goods, saying that I would divorce me and marry someone who could have a son!" Even my mother-in-law counted my stomach and said that if I didn't feel sorry for the money, I would have bought a little wife for her son! ”

Changsheng sincerely sympathizes with her, a man doesn't even dislike his own flesh and blood, it's really not a person, but there are no sons in this era, and no matter how many daughters there are, it is equivalent to the last daughter, and the Ge family can understand this kind of thinking, so Zhou Qiaosheng has almost no way to change his status in his in-law's family except for making persistent efforts until he gives birth to a son.

Zhou Wangshi looked at his crying eldest daughter distressedly, and said angrily: "You are still young, and you are not sick or sick, and you are afraid that you will not be able to give birth to a son?" Their Ge family is in such a hurry? Didn't his family ask someone to propose marriage at the beginning? Your mother-in-law can really say it, but relying on virtue to sell chickens and sheep is a little more solid than ordinary people, you have to buy a little wife for your son, and you are not afraid of losing your family! ”

Changsheng strongly agreed with his mother's statement. "Sister, what my mother said is very right, you are so young and strong, are you afraid that you will not be able to give birth to a son? It's just that it blooms first and then bears fruit, and maybe it can give birth to a good one. As for selling concubines, the life of the Ge family has not yet reached that point, you can relax and stay, and your brother-in-law will be allowed to pick you up in two days! ”

Zhou Wang's objected: "It's better to go back as soon as possible." It's not that my mother won't let you stay, it's that I'm afraid that your daughters will be wronged! Youde is not often at home, the eldest daughter, your mother-in-law still loves more, and he has seen the two little ones, don't you care about them at home? When your brother comes back from selling tofu, let him send you back, the woman's family must be soft, go back and talk to Youde, can he still be unreasonable? ”

Changsheng didn't want his sister to stay, and what his mother said was reasonable, so he nodded in agreement, persuading her that the two of them quarreled and couldn't let the child be wronged.

Qiaosheng agreed, but looked at Changsheng's face and was silent, Changsheng always felt that her expression was strange today, and her heart was even more vigilant.

Qiaosheng pretended to wipe his eyes with a handkerchief, sobbed and said, "Since my mother and sister have persuaded me, and I am also listening to it, let my eldest brother send me back." However, after Changsheng came back, our sisters haven't gotten together properly, your brother-in-law is going out today to collect a batch of chickens and send them to a roast chicken shop in Yunzhou, and it will take a few days to come back, so it is better for you to go back with your sister, and help take care of your niece by the way, and we can talk well when they sleep. ”

Changsheng looked at her dodgy eyes suspiciously, feeling that there must be some conspiracy in it, and just thinking about opposing it, Zhou Wangshi said categorically: "No, Changsheng can't go to your house!" ”

Suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it's good to have her mother blocking for her, but it's also strange that her attitude is so resolute, her brother-in-law is not at home, her sister helps her sister take care of the children for a few days, and she doesn't commit male and female defenses, what's wrong, is there a secret she doesn't know?

Qiao Sheng immediately lowered his head and wiped his tears, and said aggrievedly: "I know that Changsheng hasn't been home for eight years, and my mother should love her, but the two sisters got together and asked Changsheng to help me take care of the child, why is my mother so opposed?" ”

Zhou Wang hesitated for a moment and closed the door, and said with a cold face: "Changsheng will marry someone in the future, let her go to your house without fear of any gossip?" ”
