Chapter 229: Woman
Mianmian was very appreciative in her heart, and when she heard the back half of the sentence, she felt that something was wrong, and she glared at the man and asked, "I have changed slightly?" Is it inconvenient that the face is rounder and the waist is thicker? Do you hate me for being fat? ”
Thinking that he endured his body out of shape, and even risked his life to conceive a child for this man, but he was disgusted just by getting so fat, Guo Mianmian's heart was sour and cold, and his throat seemed to be blocked, and he was suddenly moved by tears.
"Ye'er, what's wrong with you?" Looking at such a daughter-in-law, Zheng Rin's movements were faster than his brain, and he didn't care about the flour in his hands and directly hugged the person in his arms, and his resolute and solemn face was stunned at this time.
He didn't know why the daughter-in-law who asked aggressively one moment was crying the next moment, and he didn't know if he was talking about the question of whether he would be recognized, how he suddenly caused him to calculate whether he was fat or not, and looked at him with such accusations, as if he was a bad man who deserved to die.
Before Guo Mianmian could say anything, the Meng family, who had finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, entered, and saw his son and daughter-in-law hugging each other.
A look of embarrassment flashed on her face, and she subconsciously wanted to withdraw, but occasionally saw her eldest daughter-in-law's eyes red, so she thought that she was being oppressed by her eldest son, so she couldn't avoid suspicion, hurriedly rushed up to pull Zheng Rin away, grabbed Guo Mianmian's hand and hurriedly asked: "Mianmian, is it that Ah Rin bullied you?" What grievances have you suffered, report to your mother, and your mother will teach him a lesson for you, ah? ”
After that, Meng Shi didn't wait for Guo Mianmian to reply, so he shouted at Zheng Rin: "Mianmian is pregnant with your child in her belly, what is it impossible for you to say it well, but you want to make her cry?" A pregnant woman has a lot of psychology and her nature becomes unstable, even if she does something wrong, you can't let her? ”
Meng is also a woman herself, and she can best appreciate the bitterness of women. When she was young, she suffered from her mother-in-law, and she didn't want her daughter-in-law to suffer the same as her.
This point can be seen by looking at the previous Ma and Niu. Especially Ma, who gave birth to three children, had a conflict with Zheng Shanqing during pregnancy, and Meng mostly stood at Ma's to persuade his son.
Listening to his mother's blame, Zheng Rin was even more confused. After reacting, he replied with a wry smile: "Mother, I didn't mess with Ye'er, really not!" ”
Meng Shi was especially distrustful, patted Guo Mianmian's shoulder and comforted, and simply ignored him.
At this time, Guo Mianmian's feelings were much more stable, and he replied to Meng Shi with unbeautiful intentions: "Mother, I think too much about myself, it's not my business, don't talk about him." ”
Speaking of this, she lowered her head unbeautifully, not daring to look at her husband's face. She also found that her relationship had not been consolidated recently, and even a little thing could make her think a lot.
Especially when she met Niu's yesterday, if it were in the past, she would definitely not have talked about it from last night to today. She is so chasing after the wind and shadows, even she dislikes herself very much, and she can't control her feelings at all.
Meng Shi looked at the eldest son with a sad face, and then at the eldest daughter-in-law with unbeautiful intentions, and knew that he had misunderstood, but he still reminded the eldest son:
"You, forget it if you didn't come back before, at this time at home, you will be with Mianmian, the double woman Doug will be big, and it will be good when the child is born! If Mianmian is angry with you, you will never be more serious with her, otherwise it will not be good for her, and it will not be good for the child in the womb. ”
After listening to her mother's advice, Zheng Rin suddenly brightened up and knew why her daughter-in-law was like this. He nodded again and again, and said solemnly: "Mother, you can rest assured, I will take good care of Ye'er and no longer make her angry." ”
When Meng Shi heard this, he was relieved to come down. She trusted that this son would not deliberately make her daughter-in-law angry, so she was afraid that he would be dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law's uncertain situation, and the appearance of the table would be exposed to make her daughter-in-law sad. At this point, he could understand that it was better.
My three sisters are matched to have children, and when they told me that they were pregnant, my brother-in-law and they didn't do anything wrong, and they would have something to quarrel about, in their words, they didn't like it, and they felt angry if they didn't quarrel! Haha, I don't know if all pregnant women are like this (*^__^*)
Guo Mianmian is not a hypocritical person, she was comforted by her mother-in-law and husband, and her character fell from the sky quickly, and the three of them happily wrapped dumplings around the big table.
Zheng Rin's strength is great, and the strength of the dough is solid enough not to stick to the bottom of the basin, and then he took the kitchen knife in Guo Mianmian's hand and began to chop the meat filling.
The pork is made of fresh pork belly, which is made of fat and lean meat, and the meat filling is very oily without oil, and it does not look fatty when mixed with tofu or shiitake mushrooms.
Zheng Rin thought that a kitchen knife was too slow, so he took a new unused kitchen knife from the kitchen, and chopped the cutting board with a bang, and the minced meat filling was extremely dense.
Guo Mianmian and Meng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law each took a small rolling dough, and used a rolling pin to roll out the dough cut to the size of a thumb into a moderately thick dumpling skin, and only waited for the filling to be adjusted.
Zheng Rin's hands are thick and clumsy, and he can't do the fine work of making dumplings, but he lights up the skill of rolling dumpling skins with both hands at the same time, so after he adjusted the filling, he took over the work of rolling dumplings skins, and Guo Mianmian and Meng worked hard to make dumplings.
The three of them moved quickly, and more than 400 dumplings were wrapped before noon. Now that the day is very cold, I put it in a dustpan, sprinkle a little flour, and cover it with a clean white cloth so that it will not stick to the bottom.
There are not many relatives of the Zheng family, except for the Meng family and Zheng Chunxiang, the daughter of the foreign marriage, and the Guo family, it is estimated that they will come to celebrate the New Year before the fifth day of the new year, and these dumplings will be put for five or six days without worrying about being bad.
Calculating that these dumplings were enough to eat, Meng Shi stopped and went to the kitchen to plan lunch, leaving Guo Mianmian and Zheng Rin to finish up.
At this time, the old man Zheng, who went to walk around the village, came back and said to Guo Mianmian: "Ming'er opened the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and happened to put your name on the family tree. ”
No one mentioned the genealogy before, Guo Mianmian looked at her husband in surprise after hearing it: "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?" ”
Zheng Rin was generally very unexpected, he shook his head at his daughter-in-law, and asked his father instead: "Does Zheng's daughter-in-law have a body in the family tree?" It's not the same as the genealogy I used to have? ”
Zheng Rin's name was entered into the family tree when he first returned home when he was fifteen years old. The day of the genealogy was not the first day of the first month, just because he was going to join the army, and he didn't know if he could come back in the world, so the clan opened an ancestral hall in advance and added his name. If you unfortunately die on the battlefield, you can also enjoy the incense offered by the clan, so as not to become a lonely ghost.
In the past few years since he came back, he has only spent the New Year at home last year. Ancestor worship is the most troublesome, he did what he should do, and he didn't pay attention to whether the clan gave people a genealogy.
Only then did the old man Zheng know that the young couple did not know that the first day of the first lunar month of each year was the day for the Zheng family to worship their ancestors, and it was also the day for the new population group to go on the family tree, so he replied: "Women are not allowed to enter the ordinary ancestral hall, and the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family can only have the opportunity to enter when she marries the big mind, and the patriarch will personally record her name on the family tree, so that she can truly become the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family." ”
Then, Old Man Zheng also talked about the delicacy of the family tree in detail.
Zheng is a friend, is not the body of the wang clan, the study of the family is also very easy, roughly after entering the ancestral hall, to kowtow to the ancestors of the Zheng family, and then with the patriarch to the Zheng daughter-in-law should obey the woman again. After the recitation, the patriarch personally added his name to the family tree, and then bowed to the ancestors.
, there are several brides in the four villages surnamed Zheng every year. These brides will enter the ancestral hall together and perform these rituals together, otherwise it would be too time-consuming to come one by one.
In addition to the genealogy of the bride, the new male members of the clan also had to be enrolled, and the girls were not eligible to be included in the genealogy. And children are prone to early death, only children who have reached the age of one year have the ability to go to the family tree, and if they do not grow up and die halfway, they can also be buried in the ancestral grave of the Zheng family. Those who died under the age of one could only find a random place, dig a pit and bury it.
In the words of the old man, such a child who dies early under the age of one does not belong to the Zheng family, and therefore has no qualifications to enjoy the worship of the Zheng family.
Guo Mianmian had some expectations for the genealogy, but when she learned that the girl did not have the qualifications to enter the genealogy, she couldn't help but want to complain.
Thinking that she would become the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family, and in the future, she would worship her ancestors on the first day of the first month of the first month of each year, and still had no qualifications to enter the ancestral hall, she hated the vulgarity of male superiority and inferiority during this period.
Zheng Rin didn't know what her daughter-in-law was thinking, and seeing that her expression was not good, she thought that she was worried about kneeling the next day, and she couldn't help but worry in her heart, and couldn't help but ask her father: "Ye'er is pregnant, and she has to kneel if she understands the family tree?" ”
When Old Man Zheng heard this, he was also worried that his daughter-in-law's body would not be able to stand it. But the rules are there, and they won't change for a certain person, and he has no choice: "On the next day, you must kneel on the genealogy, and if you feel that you can't stand it, you can also postpone the time of the genealogy to the first day of the first month of the next year." ”
Zheng Rin was overjoyed, and was about to say that he would go to the family tree again in the coming year, but was stopped by Guo Mianmian, who saw through his psychology: "The next day is up, and the next year is also up, just kneel a few heads, I'm not so delicate." ”
Aside from the fact that she fell off the ladder for a while, she couldn't have been better off these days. At this time, the stomach is not big, but there will be no doubt if you just kneel for a while. Besides, Ming'er Mu wants to apologize in public, she also wants to see Niu's expression with her own eyes, and the two of them can tear up.
Seeing his daughter-in-law's strong face, Zheng Rin knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he said: "You made me a lot of knee pads before, and the next day I tied two pairs of knees for you." ”
Guo Mianmian also had this thought, and when she saw that she thought of a place with the man, she suddenly became happy: "Well, I'll go and find out the knee pads later." ”
When Old Man Zheng heard this, he hurriedly reminded: "Tie it well, don't teach people to see it, so as not to make people say that they are disrespectful to their ancestors." ”
Guo Mianmian couldn't help but want to complain, about her father-in-law did not veto, and she was very indulgent in tying knee pads, and her heart was very warm, so she hurriedly said: "Ming'er is afraid that he will kneel for a long time, so we will wear looser clothes and tie knee pads." ”
Old man Zheng waved his hand: "You have two knee pads tied to your ancestors, you won't be surprised, if we tie the knee pads well, the ancestors won't bless you." ”
The corners of Guo Mianmian's eyes twitched, not understanding her father-in-law's masochistic thoughts. It's just that she knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she had to go with his old man, her man, she must let him tie knee pads. It's so cold, and it's uncomfortable to kneel on such icy ground.
……
There are a lot of leftovers in the morning, just put them in a pot and steam them to eat. When Zheng Rin went inside to call a few children back, Guo Mianmian called Kunkun to the side, reported that he was going to worship his ancestors the next day, and asked him to stay at home and read.
Kun Kun's expression was gloomy, and he hugged his mother and whispered, "It is impossible for Kun Kun to go to the ancestral hall because Kun Kun is not an uncle's child, nor is he a child of this family?" ”
Guo Mianmian's heart tightened, and she asked Kunkun in turn: "Do you think that uncle, Grandpa Zheng, Grandma Zheng, and Sister Duohua, are they good to you?" ”
Guo Mianmian smiled, touched his head and continued: "
