Chapter 115: New Year
Su Qing grabbed her shoulders and said, "After standing for so long, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
Song Xinshu moved his arm and said, "I feel a little tired, go and sit next to me for a while." ”
Su Qing was always worried about Song Xinshu's mood, her face already looked better, but she still didn't like to talk or laugh.
Xiao Mu and Ah Ya didn't make dumplings on the table, they went out to put two firecrackers for a while, ran to the room to comb their hair for a while, and then took the red paper and walked to Song Xinshu's side and said: "Third sister, look at it, this is what I bought when I went to the street a few days ago, this color is dyed on the lips and the color is even brighter, do you want to try it?" ”
Ah Jay also said on the side: "Madam, you can try it, it will definitely look good when you paint it!" ”
Song Xinshu saw the two girls surrounding him, looking at him with expectant eyes, so he picked up the red paper, pursed it on his lips, and then took a picture of the bronze mirror, and sure enough, his complexion was much better.
Xiao Mu took out a crimson velvet flower and inserted it on Song Xinshu's sideburns, which coincided with the New Year's scene.
Sure enough, the festive day diluted Song Xinshu's sorrow, and she also sat at the table and wrapped dumplings with Lin Guifen.
After the family had a reunion dinner, Song Caishu led the children to play in the yard for a while, and then went back to their respective rooms.
Although it was to keep the New Year, the two girls got tired after playing for a while, and lay on the bed talking next to each other.
Su Qing and Song Huaishu cleaned up the house, then locked the door again before returning to the room to rest.
As soon as Su Qing came in, he saw Song Xinshu sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a child's belly pocket in his hand and being distracted.
He walked over, took the little belly pocket in her hand and put it in the cupboard, then closed the cabinet door and said, "You are tired tonight, you can't put out the candle tonight, go to bed early." ”
Su Qing helped Song Xinshu take off her shoes, then helped her to lie down on the bed, wrapped her in a quilt, and then lay down beside her and let her lean in her arms.
Song Xinshu felt the temperature in Su Qing's arms and said, "Husband, if something hadn't happened to me, our family would definitely have been more lively this year." ”
"Our family is very lively now, you see how happy everyone is tonight, and besides, I also promised Xiao Mu and Ah Ya that I would take them to ice skating in the third year of junior high school."
"Then you have to take them to play, now that Wu Xiuyuan is home, the two girls are sometimes very bored."
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly Song Xinshu said: "Is Zheng Tianyi in prison now?" ”
Su Qing was silent for a while and said, "He was already dead that night, and he slashed his throat with a dagger. ”
Song Xinshu didn't expect it to be like this, she was silent for a long time, remembering the first time she saw Zheng Tianyi, how could she have thought that this was the result at that time.
"What will happen if he is sent to the capital alive?"
"It will definitely be a hundred times worse than dying."
Song Xinshu looked ahead and said, "That's better now." ”
Now Song Xinshu knew that Zheng Tianyi had died, as if the matter was over because of his disappearance, but she felt that her body was empty, as if it had been blown through by the wind.
There were still voices outside the window, Song Xinshu closed his eyes in Su Qing's arms, and fell asleep after a while.
Early the next morning, Song Xinshu was woken up by the sound of firecrackers outside, the custom of Jinling City is to set off firecrackers to welcome the gods on the morning of the first day of the new year, Su Qing has already gotten up to get busy, she walked to the window with her clothes on, and looked at the children on the street who were already playing in new clothes.
It is estimated that it is about to reach the New Year's money, and he is happy, Song Xinshu looked at the white snow scene in the distance, and felt a lot more comfortable.
Su Qing pushed the door in with breakfast, saw Song Xinshu standing at the window, hurriedly put breakfast on the table, and then walked over quickly to close the window and said, "My little ancestor, if you stand here and catch a cold, my mother will knock me on the head." ”
He pulled Song Xinshu back and sat down at the table, put breakfast on the table and said, "Have some breakfast, I heard my mother say when I was downstairs just now, it seems that Caishu's in-laws are coming." ”
"Is that why Su Tao will come too?"
"According to the rules of Jinling City, after the two families are married, men and women cannot meet, and they can't meet until the night of the candle in the cave room."
Song Xinshu said with a smile: "What if this man has never met, what if he finds that the other party doesn't look like him when he spends candles in the cave room?" ”
Su Qing saw that she was in the mood to laugh a few words today, so she said: "Don't you know, there was such a thing in our village at that time, the cave room took off the hijab on the night of the candle, and found that the groom was extremely ugly, and the bride vomited directly!" ”
"Really?" Song Xinshu laughed, couldn't believe it was true, and felt that Su Qing had specially made it up to tease her.
"I don't lie to you, it was all over the village at that time, and it was better to meet before getting married like us, wasn't it?"
Song Xinshu was amused by Su Qing, it was the first time he had seen Song Xinshu smile so happily for so long in such a long time.
After breakfast, Song Xinshu was about to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but asked Su Qing to take the things in her hand and help her to the bed.
After a while, there was a sound downstairs, Song Xinshu knew that it was Yu's father and Yu's mother coming, Su Qing said to her, "Why don't we go down and say hello?" ”
Song Xinshu shook his head and said, "I don't want to see people now, you go down and take a look, and be polite." ”
Su Qing saw that she was reluctant to go down, so she went down by herself, and saw that Yu's mother and Lin Guifen were already sitting in the lobby to discuss things, only to see Yu's mother say with a worried face: "Then how is Xinshu's health now?" ”
Lin Guifen sighed and said: "Since the accident, the child hasn't spoken much, just lying in bed all day, but his body is almost better, and he will be out of the moon in ten days, and I don't know what to do when the time comes." ”
Yu's mother is also very sad, she likes Song Xinshu very much, she thinks that this child is very sensible, speaks well, and is handsome, who knows that she will suffer such a hardship.
Although Yu's mother asked Lin Guifen to discuss the marriage between Song Caishu and Yu Sutao, the two couldn't stop chatting, and they talked for a long time before returning to the topic.
Lin Guifen said: "When the time comes, let Caishu go to your house to pick up your relatives in the morning, and then come back to the Northern Jiangsu Tea House, and we will find the gong and drum team in Jinling City, and it must be lively!" ”
"I think so too, I'm just such a girl, I must marry out in style, and you don't have to worry about the flowing water in the village when the time comes, as long as someone comes!"
Lin Guifen suddenly asked: "How is your eldest daughter-in-law now, is it still the same as before?" ”
Yu's mother smiled and said: "It's much better now, it's still Xin Shu's idea, now whether her sister can marry depends on whether she can get money from me, and now her attitude is good!" ”
Lin Guifen said reassuringly: "That's good, that's good, I was worried about what kind of daughter-in-law my two sons would marry at the beginning, it would be bad if I married a wicked mother-in-law, fortunately, Su Tao is a good one, but my eldest son is worried, and now I am not in a hurry at all." ”
After hearing this, Yu's mother suddenly became interested and said, "I have a few good girls here, do you want me to introduce you?" ”
"Then the relationship is good, and you will tell me to see it one day?"
The two talked about the excitement again, Su Qing listened on the side, and felt that although there were only two people in the hall, it was also very lively now.
Seeing that the two were chatting happily, they must not be able to discuss much serious matter, so they went upstairs to accompany Song Xinshu.
The parents of the two families discussed together for several days, and finally decided on the size of the marriage, and also found a fortune teller in Jinling City to see a good day, and set the wedding date on the twelfth day of the first month.
Song Xinshu felt that his body was almost better, so he called Su Qing over and said, "Husband, I want to take a bath." ”
Su Qing said suspiciously: "Why do you want to take a bath now, my mother said that you still have a few days to come out of Xiaoyue, and it won't be good if you catch a cold." ”
Song Xinshu said: "Now there are many places that need help in Caishu's marriage, I listen to the movement outside in the room all day long, and I always feel unstable, if I don't go out to see, I will be bored." ”
Su Qing rarely heard her say that she wanted to go out, so she agreed to her proposal and immediately went to prepare something for the bath.
Song Xinshu looked at him busy and didn't tell him what he really thought.
She stayed in this room all day and did nothing, only curled up under the quilt and wept, and her head was constantly cranky, and it seemed that only when she went out and was busy could her mind not think about those things.
Su Qing took care of her during this time, no matter what she did, she didn't let her interfere, she couldn't let him worry about herself anymore.
It's just that she still thinks of the child who is only three months with her, but fortunately, she can still relieve herself, she thinks that as long as she is busy, she will not be entangled in these things anymore.
Su Qing heated the stove in the room, and it wasn't until the room was hot that he took the wooden basin for bathing, added half a basin of hot water to it, and then adjusted the water temperature to just right, and then called Song Xinshu over.
Song Xinshu pulled Su Qing's hand and said, "You go out first, I will call you if there is something." ”
Although Su Qing was a little worried, he still went out, he thought that the lady might need to be alone now, and he still waited at the door without disturbing.
After Su Qing left, Song Xinshu took off his clothes and slid into the hot water.
The heat enveloped her, and she felt stretched as she sat in the steaming water.
It's winter now, and it's actually a luxury to be able to take such a hot bath, so Song Xinshu sat in the hot water like this, quietly thinking about his own affairs.
