Chapter Seventy-Two: Patriarchy
"If my sister has another female doll, the two sisters in the family will be very lively!" Su Mi smiled, sandwiched a piece of fatty meat, and put it into the bowl of the Luo family's sister.
Unexpectedly, the Luo Qing woman's face sank slightly, the smile on her face froze, and she put down the dishes and chopsticks and said softly: "Sister, don't say that, the first child is a female doll, the Luo family has no dislike, and they already take a fancy to our mother, if this second child is still a female doll, I'm afraid that Yingzi and I will be disliked in the Luo family!" ”
Hearing what the woman Luo Qing said, Su Mi also put down her chopsticks, looked sideways at Yingzi who was sitting next to her, and saw her fleshy cheeks and white little hands, and couldn't help but feel pity: "Sister, no matter what, it's our life as a woman, Yingzi looks handsome, and her personality is docile, what a good female doll, it's not worse than those male dolls!" ”
"Sister, that's what I said, but every family has to be passed on from generation to generation, and this female doll is the one who got married after all, and the water that was spilled out. If this baby is still a female doll, I will take the child back to my parents' house to live! "Mrs. Luo Qing is also a kind-hearted person, and in her heart, she feels sorry for her female doll, but she is in her mother-in-law's house, and there is nothing she can do.
"Sister, don't think so, I think Brother Luo still likes Sister and Yingzi, if you really take the doll back to your parents' house, then what should Brother Luo do?" Su Mi turned sideways, with a pair of slender hands, hugged Yingzi at her side, sandwiched a piece of fat and thin meat, and put it in her bowl.
"Your eldest brother Luo said it's nothing, but the mother-in-law at home is already paralyzed in bed, if there is another female doll and she is angry to death, then I will be the sinner of the Luo family!" The Luo Qing woman said, a pair of dark eyes, and there were some tears.
"Sister, the male doll and the female doll are both dolls of you and Brother Luo, the Luo family's mother-in-law may not think so!"
Su Mi naturally knew that from the civil and military officials to the common people at dawn, they didn't fancy the female doll, and felt that the female doll was useless, and she was not considered the descendant of the family. When I was a girl in the past, I heard the village women by the river say that if a woman gave birth to several female dolls in a row, not to mention that her mother-in-law disliked it, even her own mother's family also disliked it.
"My mother-in-law said that if I am still a female doll in this child, I will let Rod leave me!"
"Then what did Brother Luo say?"
The woman Luo Qing was in tears, and stretched out her hand to hug her daughter, "Your eldest brother Luo didn't dislike us, just said that if it is a female doll, it is easy to give birth and raise, and the next one may be a male doll!" ”
"Then Brother Luo still takes you two to heart, as long as Brother Luo doesn't have this mind, he won't care!" Su Mi took the chopsticks and handed them to the Luo Qing woman and asked her to eat more.
"The more I do this, the more guilty I feel, if I have to give birth to another one, the first two dolls will not be able to give birth to well. My mother-in-law has been paralyzed for many years, and your brother Luo and I can only go to the fields all day long, and we are still counting on the doll to be able to read and write in the future! The dark hands of the woman Luo Qing hugged the doll in her arms tightly, blinked her eyes, and forcibly endured the tears in her eyes.
"Sister, don't think so, you ......"
"Sister Luo, you are relieved, whether you are a man or a woman, you will not be wronged in the Luo family, you believe me!" Zhao Laosan listened to the dinner table, these two women talked for a long time, and they came coldly.
"Husband, why do you say that?"
"Because I believe in Brother Luo's character!" Zhao Laosan didn't say much, but he could put the two women at ease. The woman stopped crying, held the doll in her arms and asked her to eat slowly.
After eating, Zhao Laosan came to help Su Mi stand up and clean up the stove room by himself. The women of the Luo Qing family all saw it in their eyes, and only sighed, this is the same woman, but the fate is different.
After Zhao Laosan cleaned up the stove room, the woman of the Luo Qing family walked back with the doll in her arms. Su Mi knew that the Luo family was thrifty and ate simply in Su Ri, and when she left, she took a piece of bacon to take away, and packed a lot of wild jam and dried tofu. These are all snacks for holding a doll in your arms.
After sending away the women and dolls of the Luo Qing family, and returning to the stove room, Zhao Laosan had already cleaned up the stove room. Seeing Su Mi walking around with her feet on her feet, Zhao Laosan hurriedly stretched out a pair of thick hands and hugged her.
Su Mi lay on Zhao Laosan's shoulder, like a father holding his daughter. When the two arrived in the bedroom, Zhao Laosan gently put her on the chair in front of the desk.
"This chair is a little hard, does it hurt for the lady to sit on her feet?" Zhao Laosan was afraid that he would knock the little lady, so he hurriedly brought a soft cotton shirt behind him, and then he was relieved.
"Husband, I hurt here!" Su Mi sat on the chair, leaning on the soft cotton clothes, pouting and looking serious!
"Lady! Where does it hurt? Zhao Laosan was originally taking medicine in the closet, but when he heard the lady behind him saying that he was in pain, he hurriedly stood up and walked over, and a pair of big hands clasped her thin shoulders.
"I hurt here!" Su Mi stretched out his left hand, which was as white as a lotus root, and his chive-like fingers pointed at his chest, and a pair of watery eyes flashed a few times: "Husband, my heart hurts!" ”
"Why does my heart hurt? Did it hurt yesterday? Zhao Laosan became more and more nervous.
Su Mi was originally joking and teasing his nervous husband, but his face instantly turned pale, Su Mi was a little frightened, and hurriedly stretched out his arm to wrap his arms around his man's strong waist: "Husband, don't be nervous, I'm okay in my heart, I said that my heart hurts, I feel sorry for you!" ”
I never thought that my little lady would be smooth-tongued, but seeing that she was fine, Zhao Laosan was relieved, and said with a serious and thin lips: "Lady, be good, don't make this kind of joke in the future!" ”
Originally, he just wanted to tease his nervous husband, but seeing that he was about to be scared out of his sweat, Su Mi could only nod seriously, and then stretched out his little hand to pinch the man's dark cheeks: "Husband, don't be too nervous, my feet are fine now!" ”
Zhao Laosan didn't say much, let go of the person in his arms, paced to the closet, squatted down and took out the medicine box, took out the bottle where he wiped the medicine yesterday, walked to Su Mi, squatted down and held this white jade foot with a pair of big hands, put it on his knees, and then carefully rubbed the medicine.
This medicine is more violent, fiery, rubbing against the ankles, you can clearly feel the hot sensation wafting.
lowered his eyes, and the careful appearance of the man in his eyelids was in full view, Su Mi didn't feel anything, and his heart was soft and grateful. Originally, after his father died, he told himself that he was not the biological daughter of the Su family, so he felt that his life was not good, and he never thought that he would marry such a thrifty and hurtful strong man.
After wiping it, Su Mi remembered that the medicine given by Su's mother had not yet been tormented: "Husband, you go down to work in the field, I'm fine." I haven't taken the medicine my mother brought today! ”
Fortunately, this first medicine is the third time to take it, and you only need to soak it in water for half an hour, and then boil it for a quarter of an hour before you can drink it.
"Lady ......"
"Husband, I know what you're going to say, you're telling me not to take this medicine, aren't you? This is what my mother bought for me with frugality, and many village women have eaten it and it works, I must eat it on time! After Su Mi finished speaking, he stubbornly put on his shoes and prepared to get up and go to the stove room to decoct the medicine.
Zhao Laosan knew how to persuade himself that this little lady was useless, so he had to take her: "That lady stays in the bedroom, I'll go to the stove room to decoct the medicine!" ”
The woman wanted to stop it, but the man's strong back had disappeared into his eyelids. She now feels sweet in her heart, and she feels that men love her too much, and she can't breathe.
In the bedroom, I was idle, so I brought the wire frame, took out the needle and thread, and finished the clothes that I didn't finish last time. With a needle and thread in his hand, Su Mi suddenly became much more energetic. I was preparing to make four or five pieces of clothing for a man in the summer, but I was busy with work in front of me, so I only made two, and I still lost this one in hand and didn't finish it.
in the stove room
Zhao Laosan really felt that this medicine was very bitter, he didn't believe it, although Xue Lang was good at traditional Chinese medicine, but he had carefully read it, these medicines were some warm and tonic medicines. On weekdays, they are all nourishing with good food and drink, and the matter of dolls is only a matter of time. If there is really no doll, Zhao Laosan will not dislike his little lady, and he is still willing to hold her in the palm of his hand for ten years and cherish her vividly.
The last time the decoction was not thick, and the sour taste was even heavier. Zhao Laosan thought that if he drank this little lady, his stomach would regurgitate acid at night, and he would not be able to eat well.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt sorry for my little lady, and when I saw that the decoction was about to be boiled, I added a lot of brown sugar to it. Only then did I reluctantly suppress the sour taste, but it smelled sweet, and I was afraid that my little lady would not drink it.
After the decoction was boiled, it was put out, and the residual heat was removed with a fan, and it was not hot in the palm of his hand, so Zhao Laosan put it in the tray and brought it to the bedroom.
Su Mi is very good at cooking, and as soon as this decoction enters the house, he smells a smell of brown sugar. put down the needle and thread in hand, raised his eyes and stared at Zhao Laosan: "Husband, did you add some brown sugar to the decoction?" ”
I never thought that my little lady was so sensitive, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she put the decoction on the desk, sat down and pulled Su Mi's little hands: "Lady, you just said it, I feel sorry for me." I'm just worried about you, if this bitter decoction goes down, won't I have to hurt my mind for a while, can the lady bear it? ”
Originally, he was still a little frustrated, but as soon as his man said this, Su Mi was amused, and reached out and pinched Zhao Laosan's cheek with a smile: "Look at the husband's grievances, I'll just drink it." ”
