11. A sense of belonging
I don't know when it started? The village also began to spread the topic that the newborn daughter of the Lu family was a lucky star, saying that with her cry, thunder bursts, and heavy rain poured down.
As soon as the morning dawned here, several daughters-in-law of the Lu family got up and started to get busy, except for Lu Zhongshou and Lu Qingjiang, who had already gone to the academy, and the third son, Lu Qingjiang, they all went down to the field early and began to take care of the crops.
"Yun'er?" Suddenly, Lu Wei, who was resting, heard his father-in-law's voice, which couldn't help but make her a little strange, didn't Xianggong go to the academy? Why did you come back all of a sudden?
She hurriedly sat up, and sure enough, the door was opened by Xianggong in the next moment, "Brother Shou, what's wrong with you, didn't you go to the academy when you came back?" ”
Lu Zhongshou entered the door and subconsciously took a look at his precious daughter, but fortunately he was not woken up.
"It's like this, Yun'er, I learned that my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and uncles are coming to see you today." Lu Zhongshou said to his lady with a chuckle in a soft voice.
Lu Weishi sat up excitedly when he heard this, "Really, my mother and they came to see me." ”
"Really, why else did I take leave from the academy in the town and rush back?"
Before the couple could start to say a few words, they heard the voices of the daughters-in-law outside.
"Yun'er, I'll go outside to take a look, and I guess my father-in-law and mother-in-law are here! You stay in your room and don't move. As he spoke, he walked out calmly.
As soon as I went out, I saw two old men in the courtyard who were in good spirits and a large family behind them.
Lu Zhongshou strode forward and hurriedly bowed his head to his father, "Father, my son-in-law is not filial, and you are still tired." Then he turned to greet his three brothers-in-law.
The old couple looked at their son-in-law and smiled with relief, and the old man hurriedly stretched out his hand to help his son-in-law well, "We're all fine, but I heard Qingshan come to report the good news that his mother was born, and we can't sit still at home, if it weren't for the heavy rain, how would Yun'er's body recover?" "It's worthy of being a father, and what I came here to say is all about my daughter.
"Okay, Yun'er is fine, don't worry." Lu Zhongshou hurriedly said.
Hearing this, the old lady said reassuringly: "That's good, you accompany your father to talk to them, and I will go in with your sisters-in-law to see Yun'er." ”
"Mother said," and then looked at the eldest daughter-in-law, "Aoyama daughter-in-law, you accompany your grandmother and them to go in." Lu Zhongshou smiled flatteringly at his mother-in-law, and then hurriedly ordered his daughter-in-law on the side.
Then Lu Zhongshou began to entertain his father-in-law and uncles, and personally made tea for his father-in-law and uncles, all kinds of low postures, not pretending at all because he was a showman.
The old lady led her daughter-in-law to push open the door of her daughter's room, and at a glance she saw her daughter looking at the door expectantly.
Lu Weishi looked at his mother and sister-in-law with a look of surprise, "Mother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, thank you sisters-in-law for taking the trouble to come to see me." ”
Then Lu Weishi looked at the eldest daughter-in-law who came in with him and hurriedly said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, go and make some sugar water." Only then did he turn his attention to his mother and sisters-in-law.
The sisters-in-law looked at their sister-in-law carefully, their complexion looked very good in all aspects, and they were relieved, and smiled at the sister-in-law and said, "Yun'er, look at what you said, as a sister-in-law, giving birth to a child is like walking around the ghost gate, how can we not come to see you?" ”
"Anyway, thank you sisters-in-law." No matter what, the fact that the sisters-in-law can come shows that they value her, and Lu Weishi understands it in his heart.
"Mother, you see that you are so old, and you and your father came to see me, let your daughter say what?" Lu Weishi grabbed his mother's hand and said with a touched face.
"Okay, do you think it's okay if your father and I don't come? How are you? How is the body recovering? Is there anything uncomfortable? What's wrong? But you must tell your mother. The old lady also grabbed her daughter's hand tightly and asked uneasily, although she knew that her son-in-law was a good one, she still couldn't help asking.
Hearing his mother's worried words, Lu Weishi still couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Mother, don't worry!" You don't know your son-in-law yet? He's treated me very well all these years, do you think I'm a little fatter than before? In the past few days, I have instructed my daughter-in-law to change the law and send food to the house every day. ”
The old lady looked at her daughter carefully, she was indeed not thin, her face looked good, it seemed that her body had not lost much, and she was relieved.
Then he turned his gaze to the niece in the bed, looking at the white and tender niece who was sleeping soundly with small bubbles in her mouth, the old lady showed a loving look, the daughter has always wanted a daughter, and now she finally got what she wanted.
"That's right! This is my welcome gift to my granddaughter. As she spoke, the old lady took a package from her daughter-in-law, and took out a few small clothes from it, which were all worn by girls, very delicate and small, and finally took out two small boxes.
"Yun'er, my mother and your sisters-in-law, I heard that you gave birth a few days ago, and the girl you missed was very happy, the basket under the bed was filled with eggs, brown sugar and some red dates, and I also brought you two old hens, and I went back and asked your daughter-in-law to kill you to make up for it, and these clothes were driven out by your sisters-in-law in the past few days." As he spoke, he handed a few small clothes in his hand to his daughter.
Lu Weishi carefully touched these clothes, using excellent muslin cloth, and was not afraid of hurting the child's skin, which showed that the sister-in-law was attentive.
Hurriedly raised his head and said to his sister-in-law movingly: "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, thank you." ”
"Okay, what are we all talking about?" Several sisters-in-law hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the little sister and said.
The old lady smiled and watched the interaction between her daughter-in-law and daughter, then took out two small boxes in her hand, opened one of them, and took out a delicate silver lock from it, "Yun'er, this is the silver lock that your sisters-in-law bought for the little guy together." Then the old lady opened another box, "This is the bracelet that your father and I bought for the little one, and you can keep it." ”
Lu Weishi looked at the silver jewelry in his hand, and finally didn't hold back, tears filled his eyes, and hurriedly pushed the silver jewelry in his hand into his mother's hand, and said with a little choked up: "Mother, sisters-in-law, everyone's life is not easy now, there is not much money at home, I can't accept these things, you take them back and return them." ”
"Oh, stupid child, you don't want to shed tears during the confinement, you have to be sick, and there are a few things you have bought that can be returned, these are for me and your sister-in-law for my niece, not for you, you have no right to decide where they go or stay."
"Mother, but?" The old lady hurriedly hugged her daughter, "Okay, don't say it, my mother understands what you mean, don't worry, buy these things won't make our family hungry." ”
"Mother...... Sister-in-law ......" Lu Weishi looked at his mother and sister-in-law and didn't know what to say, the mother and sister-in-law would definitely not take it back, so they could only wait until later to make plans.
The old lady saw that her daughter had figured it out, so she moved her eyes to her granddaughter in the bed, it didn't matter, the old lady exposed her gums.
The little ones were also watching them smile toothlessly, and they didn't cry, and their big almond eyes were wide and round, and they were as bright as if there were countless stars, which was so cute.
The old lady quickly took off her shoes and sat on the bed, and lovingly hugged the little guy into her arms, "Little baby, I'm grandma, are you happy to see grandma?" ”
Seeing that the old lady took the little guy into her arms, Lu Wei's sisters-in-law couldn't help but surround them, looking at such a cute little guy, they couldn't help but laugh.
They looked at the little guy who was only a few days old, his eyes were very bright, and he kept turning around, everyone looked at her and smiled, and the greedy sister-in-law and second sister-in-law couldn't wait to take it back to their own home, who let them have no daughter.
Lu Qi "......" It turns out that this is her mother's family, she likes it very much, and now she likes her current home more and more, and she has a sense of belonging more and more.
