Chapter 352: Lying
Even Guo Guo's sisters and brothers also planned a gift, either a hand-embroidered handkerchief or a beautiful purse, in short, they were all made by themselves, and their intentions were very valuable. The gift of Kunkun is very special, it is a little milk cat with a snow-white body and a pair of beautiful two-color pupils.
This little milk cat was bought by Kunkun from a merchant from another city who was passing by the county seat after exhausting all his reserves. At that time, he was struggling with what gift to give his sister, and after accidentally seeing this little white milk cat, he thought that his sister would know porridge, so he bought it without thinking about it, and forgot to bargain with others.
"Sister, this cat's name is Xuetuan, and the name of the fat group is one word heavier, outsiders will know that it is our cat when they hear it, you report to my brother, do you have porridge Xuetuan?" Kunkun took his sister's soft little hand, gently placed it on Xuetuan's hairy skull, and asked expectantly.
"Mi woo, Mi woo, Mi woo......" was carefully watched by people about continuously, and he couldn't help but suffer from the danger from humans, Xiao Xuetuan opened his round two-colored pupils, looked at Tang Yuan'er curiously, and made a soft cat cry.
"Babble, babble!" Tang Yuan'er's eyes widened, staring at the snow ball with the same curiosity, and the little subordinates clearly scratched the hair on the snow ball's skull.
I don't know if I fell in love with the feel of the gold ornaments on Xuetuan's body, Tang Yuan'er kicked her two calves excitedly, and used it to catch Xuetuan, and she was very porridge This little guy.
Kunkun's eyes lit up, but he took the kitten away, and said seriously: "Sister, you can porridge snow balls, you have to be more porridge brother, otherwise my brother will be very angry and drive the snow balls away!" ”
When the rest of the people heard this, they thought that Kun Kun was joking, and couldn't help laughing, thinking that the brother and sister got together, and the painting style became particularly ridiculous.
How could Tang Yuan'er understand what his brother was saying, and when he saw that he couldn't touch the cute kitten, his expression began to change, and he shouted aggrievedly: "Pot, pot, pot......"
The little guy can't shout "brother" yet, the only thing he can shout out is "pot".
"Po~ sister is so good!" Kunkun only said yes to his sister, and kissed his sister on the face with a smile, and then handed the snow ball over and played with her.
There were a lot of guests who came to Zheng's house to celebrate today, and the wide front hall was filled, and many people gathered to talk under the shade of the trees in the courtyard. Among these guests, in addition to those close to the village, there are relatives and close friends of Guo Zheng's family, which is only much more than when the moon is full.
Like Zhang Niniuyu, who was good friends with Zheng Rin, and others came over early, and even the Fang family sent someone to come to the door to celebrate. Xu knew that the Zheng family valued Tang Yuan'er's granddaughter, and most of these guests planned gifts for Tang Yuan'er, and the small houses that were specially set aside to vacate gifts were about to be filled. In Mu's words, Tangyuan'er's dowry is rich again.
This time, the Zheng family did not invite people from the village to make the banquet, but Zheng Rin specially invited a chef who specializes in making banquet noodles. There are many disciples under the chef's hand, and they set up pots and stoves in the courtyard, and they are busy washing and cutting, and they don't need to be helped by others at all.
Meng was happy and relaxed, and was busy greeting the old relatives who came to celebrate with Old Man Zheng; Haruka also returned, and according to the children brought by the guests, she took advantage of them to watch out for them to make trouble; Zheng Shan Qingma also took two days off to help add tea and pour water.
However, Guo Mianmian is very idle, and everyone knows that she is pregnant, even if she has any part-time jobs, they will not call her. All she has to do is talk to the guests and keep her family with her.
Seeing that he was about to take the seat, Old Man Zheng stood up, hugged Tang Yuan'er from Guo Laoshi's hand and said, "The auspicious time is coming, it's time for Baosheng to catch Zhou." ”
On such a day, Old Man Zheng did not call Tang Yuan'er by his nickname to show his solemnity. Tang Yuan'er was so nervous about the name Baosheng that she didn't react to her grandfather's title, but she stretched out her little hand to pull her grandfather's beard with great interest, God knows that there are not a few left.
Guo Mianmian found out and said to Zheng Rin: "Catch Zhou later, let's call her by her nickname, lest she think we are calling others, so she will grab things indiscriminately." ”
In order to be auspicious, before the children's catch, the family usually finds some objects with good meanings to rehearse first. For example, if a child catches it correctly, he or she will be rewarded, so that on the day of the catch, he will not catch the wrong thing.
Guo Mianmian thought that it didn't matter, he could find things in the Zhou at his mercy, and there would be nothing wrong with it. How Meng Shi believes in this very much, and he was arranging tangyuan a few days ago. She looked funny and got into the game.
At this time, seeing that Tang Yuan'er didn't react to his name, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"If it's okay, let her grasp it at will." Zheng Rin didn't take it to heart, in his heart, no matter what the magic weapon daughter caught, it was a good thing, it was his daughter. One day, he will keep his daughter safe and happy.
Seeing that her husband was so calm, Guo Mianmian was not in a hurry, and came to the little things that were used to catch Zhou with everyone, looking at her daughter who was put on the bamboo bed by her father-in-law, and wondered if she would catch the thing she caught during the rehearsal two days ago after all.
At this time, the guests had already gathered around, and they were all curious about what the Zheng family's magic weapon would catch.
At this time, the big bamboo bed has been placed with writing paper inkstones, abacus, coins, account books and other things, and the daughter's household gold ornaments, silk flowers, and rouge are also comprehensive, such as shovels, spoons, scissors, embroidery threads, etc., and there are fifty or sixty kinds of sprinkles.
Wearing a red dress, Xiao Tangyuan'er pouted his little butt and crawled around on the bamboo bed curiously, touching this at once, touching it all at once, seeing that he had a warm voice as soon as he picked up something, he couldn't help but have some fun, giggling and picking it up and putting it down, as if he was teasing everyone.
Seeing that the little guy had crawled for a while, but there was nothing he liked, Mu Mengshi and the others were anxious, pointing to the things they thought were good, and said: "Bao'er, hurry, take this, get it to grandma (grandma) to buy you flowers to wear (delicious)." ”
I don't know if I've had enough fun, or if I know the benefits of my grandmother, Tang Yuan'er looked forward and backward for a while, and finally crawled to the opposite side, grabbing a crumpled dried date from a pile of things that she messed up.
"Hey, who put these dried dates? I remember that the first bill didn't have this on it! Guo Mianmian muttered in a low voice, her expression was puzzled: "This little guy doesn't like to eat dates either, how did he get this by coincidence with so many things!" ”
Meng Shi, who was standing opposite, didn't know what he thought, and looked at the dried dates that his granddaughter was holding tightly in her hand, and suddenly became happy, and her eyes couldn't help but look at Guo Mianmian's stomach.
Seeing this scene, Xu, who had been a transparent person since stepping into the Zheng family, suddenly said: "Oh, it's good to catch a jujube, I'm afraid it's not my nephew's wife who is going to give birth to a noble son early (jujube)!" ”
As if to respond to Xu's words, without waiting for the rest of the people to react, Tang Yuan'er stood up, staggered towards Guo Mianmian, holding dates in his little hands, and shouted excitedly: "Cool, cool, cool......"
"Slow down, walk slowly, don't fall!" Guo Mianmian's attention was not on the dates at all, she looked at the fat girl who was stumbling in horror, and stretched out her hands to catch it, I was afraid that she would fall without paying attention.
The little guy didn't know his mother's sorrow, giggled and threw himself into his mother's arms, and stuffed the dried dates he was holding into his mother's hand: "Give, give, cool." ”
At this moment, not only Guo Mianmian was stunned, but everyone who saw this scene was also stunned, and one by one, like Meng's reaction, they all looked at Guo Mianmian's belly: I'm afraid this baby is really a boy!
Tang Yuan'er caught a red date for Guo Mianmian at her weekly ceremony, and it soon spread in the village.
A one-year-old milk doll who doesn't understand anything, doesn't grasp dozens of things, but happens to grab a very inconspicuous dried jujube. It's just a matter of grabbing dried dates, and I also gave this dried date to my pregnant mother, no matter how you look at it, there is an evil energy.
The vast majority of countless people have the same mind as Xu, believing that Guo Mianmian is pregnant with a male fetus in her belly. At that time, before the Zhou ceremony was over, someone congratulated Guo Mianmian and them, and pleasing words such as the successor of the Zheng family drilled into the ears of several people over and over again.
Old man Zheng and Meng Shi were very happy to hear these pleasing words. They have a granddaughter, Tang Yuan'er, and naturally look forward to Guo Mianmian, a wife who is pregnant with a grandson in her belly. While their bodies and bones are still healthy, they especially hope to see the Zheng family's eldest son, Sun Shun, be born, grow up healthy, and even have a child in the room.
Don't say that they have this thought, even if Mu and the others don't say it, they also look forward to Guo Mianmian's baby being a male fetus. Raising children to prevent old age and inheriting bloodline is the confluence thinking that has been inherited for thousands of years in this era.
I don't know if it's because it's too hot, or because the pregnant woman herself is more sensitive, Guo Mianmian listened to these words that she thought she was pregnant with a boy, and somehow remembered the past that made her very hateful, and her mood suddenly became irritable.
Considering that this was his daughter's first birthday, Guo Mianmian risked his life to suppress the anger in his heart, and forcibly connected his smile in front of people, and the guests left one after another after the banquet, and the depression in his chest gradually dissipated.
It's just that when she returned to the front hall after sending off the guests, and heard Mu Shi hugging Tang Yuan'er and kept asking her if she wanted a younger brother or sister, the anger that had just gone down reached the extreme: "Mother, is it a man or a woman, is it my child, your grandson, what is there to ask!" ”
As soon as the words came out, Guo Mianmian repented. Seeing that her expression had changed, she shook her head in annoyance, stepped forward and wanted to apologize, but she couldn't say anything when the words came to her mouth.
There were only Guo Zheng's two families left in the front hall, and everyone who was talking enthusiastically heard Guo Mianmian's angry words towards Mu's family, and their eyes widened in shock, and they couldn't look at Guo Mianmian incredulously.
"Ye'er, what's wrong?" Zheng Rin stood beside Guo Mianmian, and he was also the first to react. He didn't care about the rest of the people in the house, so he nervously held Guo Mianmian's hand and asked, I don't know how his wife got angry when she was so good, or she was angry at her mother-in-law.
Guo Mianmian shook her head and didn't speak, looking at her red-eyed and dazed mother, she felt a pain in her heart, and stepped forward to apologize guiltily: "Mother, I'm sorry, I wasn't in a good mood just now, I didn't mean to be angry with you, you can beat or scold, just ask you not to be angry with yourself!" ”
"No, it's okay, my mother is not angry, not angry...... Mu Shi waved his hand and said quickly: "It's you, are you tired today?" If you want to go back to your room to rest for a while, your father and I will go back too. ”
That being said, Mu didn't know what he said wrong, which made his daughter suddenly angry. To say that her heart is not painful is a lie, she is not angry for the present, she just wants to know where her daughter is unhappy.
"Well, I'm a little tired, it's noisy all day, and I'm very irritable inside." Guo Mianmian lied to Mu's words, and the guilt in her heart deepened.
"Then let's rest, when your fetus is stable, I'll let your boss pick you up and go home for a while." Mu believed that it was true, except for this reason, she really couldn't think of it.
"Hmm." Guo Mianmian quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
