"What is this," said the second wife, "some of them are even stranger!" The eldest lady glanced at the second lady and said, "Who are you talking about?" "Peach blossoms!" The second wife said: "You don't see her, when I first arrived at Tusi Mansion, I couldn't hit a fart with a stick, but now it's good, and the corners of my eyes are hanging to the sky." The eldest lady stopped and muttered, "Yes, this peach has been a bit abnormal lately. She and Sister Lian talked and laughed, chirping all day long. The second wife echoed casually: "It's miles and miles, it's like a big happy event!" The eldest lady suddenly twisted the Buddha beads in her hand quickly, frowned and thought for a long time, and said, "Ask Mother Liu to ask if the peaches are happy." "Oh my mother," said the second lady in surprise, "I forgot if you didn't mention it." Peach Blossom has a thick skin, and she dares to dry her menstrual belt at the door, for five or six years, every month and so on. This one

month, it's really not sunburned. Also, when eating, she picks and chooses to eat sourly. My dumb cow is not easy to put down, so I picked some mulberries, sour dates, orange grapefruits, prickly pears and so on all over the mountains, and ran back for three days. Once I asked him how many mulberries he wanted to eat, but he didn't agree, saying that it was not enough for Taotao. The eldest lady said thoughtfully: "Sour and spicy girl, Peaches is about to give birth to a male baby." The second wife couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "It's okay now, it's okay now." "Okay what?" The eldest lady suddenly turned around, looked at the second lady coldly and said. Seeing that the eldest lady's tone was wrong, the second lady was shocked, and couldn't help but shudder, and stammered: "Tusi Li family has ...... With grandchildren...... Isn't that a good thing? "Oh, that's a good thing, it's a good thing." The eldest lady felt that she had lost her temper, so she immediately slowed down her tone and replied with a happy face

Second wife. She thought to herself, "Make a difference." Mr. Toast has a daughter-in-law who gave birth to a son for him!

The eldest lady and the second wife here talked about peach blossoms, and the peach blossom eyelids trembled vigorously. She raised her hand and pressed her eyelids, smiled faintly, and echoed Lan'er and said, "That's it, if you can't see it, you won't be annoyed." After Peach Blossom finished speaking, she took out a small bag wrapped in a white handkerchief from the placket of her clothes and put it next to Lan'er's pillow. What is it? Lan'er asked. Peach Blossom only smiled and didn't answer, opening the small packets layer by layer, and after the last layer was opened, a few plump and shiny mulberries were revealed. Lan'er's eyes lit up, she got up, stretched out two fingers, like catching a dragonfly, carefully pinched one, put it in front of her eyes and shook it again and again, and said, "It's been six years, and you miss me to death." Lan'er threw the mulberry into her mouth, and when she bit it, a stream of purple-red juice overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and the air was suddenly filled with a fragrance of mulberries. Ate one, eat another, when Lan'er picked up the third one and threw it into her mouth, she saw Peach Blossom's throat roll a few times, and then a mouthful of saliva was swallowed back by her. Lan'er giggled and said, "Open your mouth, open your mouth." Peach Blossom pursed her lips and didn't open, so Lan'er blocked the mulberry on Peach Blossom's mouth and said, "Don't open it?" Peach Blossom turned her head and wanted to say "don't open", but as soon as she opened her mouth, before she could speak, the mulberry squeezed into her mouth.

Picking up another one, Lan'er caught a glimpse of Niang and Sister Lian also gurgling and swallowing saliva. She ignored it, just threw it into her mouth, looked at Peach Blossom and munched it, swallowed it, and laughed "giggles" together. Lan'er picked up another one, put it in front of Sister Lian's eyes and shook it again and again, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat it?" Sister Lian's two cheeks squeaked and salivated, and she swallowed one bite after another in her stomach in embarrassment. She couldn't hold it back, even if Lan'er didn't give it, she would rob it. Sister Lian's mouth was wide open, and she took the mulberry in Lan'er's hand into her mouth in one bite, shook her head and chewed it deliciously. The last one, Lan'er pinched it and said to the third wife: "Mother, open your mouth." The third lady did not speak, but stretched out her hand. Lan'er put the mulberry in her mother's hand. The third lady pinched the mulberry and didn't put it in her mouth, but said, "Orchid (flower), you open your mouth." Lan'er grabbed her mother's arm and shook it, and said coquettishly: "Mother, you eat, eat." ”

"I haven't eaten it for so many years, I should have died of hunger. Be quick, obedient, open your mouth. The third lady stroked Lan'er's head, saw her open her mouth to eat, and said happily: "Wait for my mother to go to the mulberry forest to pick it for you, and you will have a good time." Lan'er sat up straight and said, "I'll go with my mother." The third wife said, "Your father said that you have been sick for many days, and you have to recuperate for two days before you can go out." I just ran into the field when I was sick, so what was it? Your father blames it, how can my mother afford it? Lan'er jumped out of bed and said refreshedly, "Dad, I'll go and talk about it." Let's go, sister-in-law, Sister Lian, let's all go with my mother. "Lan'er has recovered from a serious illness, and Master Toast said that he wants to hold a family banquet. The eldest lady asked what the reason was, and the eldest man said that it was to celebrate Lan'er's recovery, and then said that he would invite Commissioner Miao, and then said that the family had not been reunited for a long time, and it was time to get together. In short, I can't understand it.

The eldest lady thinks, the seed you sowed in the belly of your daughter-in-law has sprouted, of course you have to celebrate! The eldest lady understood in her heart, and couldn't help but have a cold smile on her face. The eldest man Li Defu turned a blind eye. He thought, the eldest lady is not enthusiastic, so why don't he go out in person? He shouted three and four drinks, and prepared a table of sumptuous wine and food. Jiawu and Wen Zhong are definitely going back. Commissioner Miao rode a yellow fat horse, and under the protection of several horses, he came majestically. Lan'er thought that Teacher Dai and Mr. Chen would naturally come. At the thought of Mr. Chen, Lan'er's heart pounded. Later, I heard from the third brother that Mr. Chen carried her on his back for several miles and carried her home all the way. As soon as she thought of this, Lan'er's face became hot. I thought to myself, how embarrassed it would be to see him again. But at this moment, what she wants to see most is him! She waited and waited, waited for Teacher Dai, and waited for Sister Feng to come with Teacher Dai. Lan'er excused herself to call the dumb brother back, went out of the gate, and wandered around, expecting Mr. Chen to appear at the intersection.

The round sun fell into the river, and the dumb brother in the distance drove the cattle all the way back with "oh oh oh oh oh", where is the shadow of Mr. Chen? Lan'er suddenly wanted to cry. This Mr. Chen, she was sick, and she didn't come to see it once, and she didn't come when she got better. This guy who has no heart and no liver has either evaporated from the world, or he doesn't care about her at all. Ignore him in the future. Lan'er was thinking nonsense when Jiawu came behind her. Jiawu gently patted Lan'er on the shoulder. Lan'er was thinking about something, Jiawu patted her on the shoulder, she was taken aback, she thought it was Mr. Chen who fell from the sky, and when she looked back, it was the second brother. Lan'er suddenly felt a sense of grievance, smashed several punches on the second brother's chest, buried her head in it, and cried. Jiawu hugged Lan'er and stroked it, and said for a long time: "Mr. Chen carried you back, and he will go back to Shanghai the next day." After walking for half a month, there is no news, and the second brother misses him like you. ”

Lan'er was taken aback, she waited for Mr. Chen, and the second brother actually saw it. Mr. Chen is gone! I haven't heard from him since! Lan'er raised her head and asked with tears in her eyes, "He's not coming back?" Jiawu said, "No." He'll be back! Lan'er took out her handkerchief, wiped her tears, and asked, "What is he doing when he goes back?" Jiawu gently hugged Lan'er's shoulders, stared at the mountains in the distance for a long time, and said: "The right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life!" Lan'er felt inexplicable. The eyes of the second brother were deep and distant, and there seemed to be two flames burning. There was even a moment when Lan'er felt that these eyes were unfamiliar, and they were terrifyingly strange! Did it create a delusion? Many years later, Lan'er understood the profound meaning of the second brother's aphorism. At this time, Mrs. Liu came out and shouted: "Lan'er--your mother told you to go home--It's time to eat right away--" Lan'er woke up like a dream

, indiscriminately responded: "Okay--"

The feast was very lively, everyone sat around a big table of eight immortals, raised the lamp together, followed you to respect me, I respect you, one respects one, and no one cares if it messes up the generations. The eldest lady cares. When Peach Blossom toasted her, she didn't serve the wine, and she didn't raise her eyelids, but just said lightly: "Peach Blossom, your body is not suitable for drinking, do you know?" "I'll drink it for the eldest lady." Master Toast stepped on the eldest lady under the table, picked up the eldest lady's wine cup, and played a round for the eldest lady. After the toast master finished speaking, Ding Dong and the peach blossom touched the lamp and drank it in one gulp. Putting down the wine cup, Master Toast glanced at Peach Blossom more. No one noticed that the old man of Toast took a second look, and the eldest lady saw it. Li Defu, the master of the toast, claimed to be proficient in poetry and books, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and actually did such absurd things as picking up ashes. The eldest lady really couldn't figure it out. I can't figure it out, my chest is blocked, and when I block my breath, I feel uncomfortable, and when I feel uncomfortable, this wine, smoke, and noise is equivalent to killing her! She stood up, said she was a little unwell, and walked away. As soon as the eldest lady left, there was a bitter gourd face missing from the table, and the atmosphere was even more lively.

Commissioner Miao touched a lamp with the old man Tusi again, and said: "I heard that for Lan'er's treatment, Chinese medicine and Western medicine have been invited, but they have no effect. Such a miracle is unheard of! What is the cure? The old man of Toast said: "How can this living immortal leave a prescription?" However, I took the medicine residue to Sun Langzhong in the town and said that it was just some ordinary medicine such as banlan root and honeysuckle. The mystery may lie in the dosage of the mix. Listen to what the old ghost in Sun Langzhong said, 'I can't learn, I can't learn'. I think too, if you learn everything, wouldn't there be Taoist Sun and Taoist Ma everywhere? When the toast man finished speaking, everyone laughed. Master Tusi looked at Lan'er and said, "Choose a good day, go to the county seat with your mother, and thank Daoist Wu for coming to the door." "Order!" Lan'er grinned: "I invited Daoist Wu to Fuhai Tower and have a drink with him." The third lady patted Lan'er's thigh and said, "It's not serious." ”

"Hey, I really have to ask Miss Lan'er to come forward, please invite Daoist Wu." Commissioner Miao sighed: "That living immortal, I have asked him several times, but I have refused politely. "Who told you to be an official!" Lan'er said: "If I, the cloth-clothed people, invite him, and I will naturally be able to invite him." "Let's go," Jiawu said, "You are a little woman, it is unseemly to show your head, so I'll invite you." "Okay," Lan'er pursed her mouth, pretending to be angry, and said, "Your big man's business, I am a little woman involved, it is indeed unseemly." Jiawu and Commissioner Miao looked at each other and smiled, and everyone laughed again. Commissioner Miao stopped and said solemnly, "Miss Lan'er is right. It is better not to mix with men's affairs. Hearing this, Teacher Dai and Fang Zhong also looked at each other and smiled. The smile was meaningful, but also a little bitter. A gust of wind blew the candles on the shrine flickering, and after a while, they were extinguished one by one. The room was pitch black. The wind was strange to say, and after a whistling, it was calm again, and the servant re-lit the candle, and the candle did not move. The wine table could no longer raise the interest just now, and the banquet ended hastily, and everyone dispersed in a hurry......
