Chapter Twenty-Eight: Apricot Blossoms

"Daughter-in-law, come and try it to see if it fits!" The third child took advantage of these two days to make a jacket, for fear that his daughter-in-law would freeze.

Chen Chunhua took the jacket and put it on. glanced around the room, raised his eyebrows and looked at the third child, and said. "It fits, it's very warm!"

The third child looked at Chen Chunhua's smiling face, unconsciously hugged her, and looked down at Chen Chunhua. Chen Chunhua was stunned at the moment, her face was slightly red, and she didn't know whether she should open her mouth or not.

"Daughter-in-law, I can't bear you!" The third child said and hugged Chen Chunhua tightly. Hearing this, Chen Chunhua was puzzled, she was his daughter-in-law, what was she reluctant? "Third brother, what's wrong with you, what are you talking about?"

"Alas, I didn't say anything, daughter-in-law, you look so good in this dress!" The third child was nervous about his daughter-in-law, and he listened to a lot of words outside, and he was not afraid, but he was still very afraid.

The third child's effort to change the topic did not arrive at home, Chen Chunhua felt that the third child was wrong, pushed the third child away, and looked at him seriously. "Third brother, tell me what's wrong, what do you mean by saying this in a good way?" Originally, she was in a good mood, but Chen Chunhua felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she was reluctant, and she didn't go anywhere.

The third child looked at Chen Chunhua's appearance and froze suddenly. "I'm nothing, it's not interesting!"

"No, third brother, you make it clear to me today, I will marry and be your daughter-in-law." After getting along for so long, Chen Chunhua also understands the character of the third child, and will not say this for no reason.

"Daughter-in-law, don't be angry, I'm talking nonsense, I don't know how to speak, I'm wrong." The third child hurriedly grabbed Chen Chunhua and softened.

Chen Chunhua didn't say anything when she saw the third child, and she didn't ask herself. "Cheng, don't say this in the future, what's reluctant, I just left it in the house and didn't go anywhere."

"Alas, it's not too early, I still have to go to work for a day, and I'm going out soon." After the third child finished speaking, he picked up the guy and went out. Chen Chunhua saw that the third child was gone, and she still cared about what she said just now.

One morning, Chen Chunhua's thoughts were all floating, and half of the bags of soybeans had not been picked. With a sigh, he stood up and went into the kitchen to get some food.

After lunch, before the stool was hot, I heard the bustle outside. Chen Chunhua put down the wooden basin in her hand, patted her clothes and walked out of the yard to see, ouch, this is not a big battle outside.

After looking at it for a while, Sister-in-law Ah Lian saw Chen Chunhua with sharp eyes and shook it over. "Girl, how are you busy?"

"Sister-in-law Alian, what are you doing here? It's very lively. ”

"Hey, haven't you heard of it, this is in the apricot blossom house!"

"In the Apricot Blossom House? What's the matter? A group of people lined up outside, all of them with things in their hands, went to the apricot blossom house, and passed in front of her house.

Sister-in-law Ah Lian didn't know Chen Chunhua yet, pulled her aside, and said softly. "You also know that Xinghua is an old girl, and she has passed twenty-one this year, and she can't do without Xinghua in this house, so she has been dragged into an old girl."

"Could it be that Xinghua has found her mother-in-law?" Chen Chunhua hasn't figured out what the situation is in the Xinghua House, she is busy with her own business, and she hasn't had time to inquire about other people's houses.

"Isn't it, Xinghua is a diligent person, this matchmaker went to the Xinghua house yesterday to give Zhun Xin'er, no, today the man's house will be hired."

"So fast, is that one?" Looking at this battle, this mother-in-law is a big deal.

"The small family in the east of the town, although it is a small family, we are not a big family." Ah Lian said, pulled Chen Chunhua's clothes, and said. "Let's go, let's see."

"Alas, I'm going to close the courtyard door!" Chen Chunhua closed the door and followed Sister-in-law A Lian to the apricot blossom house.

Those who lined up to run errands left after the dowry, Sister-in-law A Lian and Chen Chunhua stood outside the door and didn't go in, Xinghua saw the two of them, and her face was very embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, why are you here, hurry up, come into the house!" Xinghua came out and pulled the two of them into the courtyard.

Look at the things in the yard, Sister-in-law Ah Lian said. "Xinghua, this is fate, it's a good thing to drag it out until now, and it's good to live in the future."

"What, sister-in-law Alian, you know how to make fun of me!" Xinghua was embarrassed by Sister-in-law Alian's words, and led them into the hall. "Sit down, I'll pour you a glass of sweet water."

Chen Chunhua looked at the house, it was similar to her room, sat down for a while, there was a violent coughing sound from inside, looked into the inner room, and said. "Who's in this house?"

Sister-in-law Ah Lian patted Chen Chunhua and said. "Xinghuaniang is in the back room, I've been sick for many years, and I haven't been able to get out of bed, otherwise I can drag it out until now."

"Oh!"

"Come, two sisters-in-law, drink some sweet water, see you come to the house, I don't know how to entertain you, sit down first, let me see my mother!" Putting down the bowl, Xinghua brought a bowl of medicinal soup from the kitchen into the back room.

Sister-in-law Ah Lian drank sweet water, smashed it, smashed it, and said. "Girl, why don't you drink it, it's sweet."

"Alas!" Chen Chunhua picked up the bowl and took a sip. This sweet water is sugar soaked in boiling water, she has never bought this sugar, and there is no one in the house, so I don't know what it is.

"My mother, what's wrong with you, drink some, it's good to drink it!" Hearing the sound of Xinghua coming from the back room, Chen Chunhua stood up and walked in.

As soon as I entered the house, I smelled a strange smell in the house, and there was a sick old woman lying on the kang head, and the apricot blossom was anxious with red eyes, supporting the old woman, holding a bowl in her hand.

Chen Chunhua walked over quickly, took the bowl, and said. "Xinghua, what's wrong with my aunt?"

Xinghua Xu saw Chen Chunhua, tears rolled down, and choked up. "My mother doesn't drink medicine, she doesn't swallow every time, and I don't know if it's embarrassing for myself or embarrassing us."

Chen Chunhua looked at the old woman, put the bowl on the kang, and said. "Xinghua, you put it aside for a while!" Xinghua shook her head and said. "No, my mother is very stubborn."

"Okay, okay, you go out first, believe in sister-in-law!" Chen Chunhua said and pulled Xinghua by herself, and helped the old woman up by herself, and Xinghua cried and walked out of the back room.

As soon as Xinghua left, Chen Chunhua endured the strange smell emanating from the old woman and said. "Auntie, I'm from Mr. Zhao's family, why don't you drink medicine, I know you don't want to let Xinghua tube, you've been here all these years, what are you still stubborn?"

The old woman heard Chen Chunhua's words, moved her body, and grabbed Chen Chunhua's hand tightly with her dry hand, and said. "I don't want to drag the baby down, it's useless to take this medicine, people's lives since ancient times, if you go, you will go."

Listening to the old woman's unambiguous words, Chen Chunhua reached out and took the medicine bowl, and seeing that the temperature was just right, she handed it to the old woman's mouth and said. "Auntie, this parent has the heart of being a parent, and the baby has the heart of being a baby, you are good for them, they are good for you, tossing is not good."

The old woman didn't refuse this time, just took Chen Chunhua's hand and drank the medicinal soup in one go. Seeing that she drank it, Chen Chunhua was relieved. Seeing the old woman like this, Chen Chunhua remembered her grandmother, when she was in college, her grandmother suddenly fell ill and wanted to go home without being hospitalized.

If she hadn't experienced this, she really didn't know what it was like to be a patient and an old man.

"Auntie, Xinghua has found her mother-in-law's house, and you don't have to worry about it."

"Alas, worry-free!" The old woman said a word, opened her eyes, Chen Chunhua knew that she was sleepy, so she helped her lie down and cover the quilt.

Seeing Chen Chunhua come out, Xinghua wiped away her tears and said busily. "Sister-in-law, how is my mother?" Chen Chunhua smiled and handed her an empty bowl. "Auntie is asleep, don't make it difficult for you."

"Alas, I don't have to make it difficult, I just want this mother to get better quickly, and to feed me and my brother so much, I also want her to enjoy happiness." Xinghua is also difficult to find her own family, it is a good thing to find her mother-in-law, but she can't let go of her own mother, thinking about marrying someone else's house, her heart is uncomfortable.

"Sister Xinghua, what this spring flower said is right, you can get married with peace of mind, and your aunt's affairs will be fine!" Sister-in-law Ah Lian patted Xinghua's hand and said.

"I know, thank you two sisters-in-law, let's put this dinner on hold!" Xinghua said, about to go out to the yard.

"Alas, don't be busy, I have two babies in the house, how can I stay here to eat." Ah Lian grabbed the apricot blossom road. "Xinghua girl, can this wedding date be set?"

"It's set, the eighth day of the new year!"

"It's almost there, and I see that there is still a little more than a month."
