Chapter 34: The husband takes a concubine
"Husband...... Husband...... You let go of me, my mother is still in the middle of the house! Su Mi saw Zhao Laosan grabbing frantically, thinking that his mother was getting up, if he heard the movement of the two, his heart was shy.
Zhao Laosan acted more unscrupulously as if he hadn't heard it, and the sound of even breathing in the bedroom slowly became heavier.
After the crazy clouds and rain, Su Mi lay on the bed and pulled the futon to cover his body. The white shoulders are outside, and the skin is as delicate as a freshly peeled lychee. The scent of hair lingers on pillows and bedding.
The genius Ma Ma Liang, the man was too hard, and when he saw the woman lying down, he reached out and tucked the quilt: "You sleep for a while, I'll go grind the tofu!" ”
"Husband, go, I'll get up and go to the stove room to make breakfast!" Su Mi also supported her body to get up, and the fierce cloud and rain just now made her feel that her body was about to fall apart, and her hands were propped up on the bed, trembling a little.
"Lady rest for a while, get up and eat later, when I cook tofu, I cook breakfast together!" Zhao Laosan saw that his mother's face was a little red, and his lips were a little pale, and he also knew that he had tried too hard, and he regretted it in his heart. But without her, I didn't sleep well all night last night, and when I saw her this morning, I vented all my emotions.
"Husband, I'd better cook it! Otherwise, my mother should talk about me again! "I opened the bedding, but I was pressed by a pair of big hands.
"The lady is obedient, there are few people in our family, and you are not an ordinary woman, you don't have to care about what your mother says!" Zhao Laosan put on his clothes, looked at the little lady with white cheeks with a pair of dark eyes, and really wanted to hold this woman in the palm of his hand every day.
Seeing that the man's eyes were gentle, and every word was love, Su Mi no longer cared about what his mother said, and went to sleep and pulled the futon to cover himself: "That husband is busy, I'll sleep for a while!" ”
Although the sky is not yet bright, there is no trace of dark clouds in the clear blue, and it is a good day to see today. Zhao Laosan gently closed the door of the bedroom and came to the stove room, but saw Su's mother making a fire.
"Mother, go to sleep for a while, I'll make this breakfast!"
Zhao Laosan was about to grind beans, rolled up his sleeves, exposed a sturdy arm, and walked outside with a bucket of soaked beans in one hand.
"Son-in-law, don't be polite to me, this bean grinding skill, my old woman is no worse than you!" The pot was boiling water, and Su's mother followed her son-in-law and went to the mill at the shed.
"Mother, I can do it myself!" Zhao Laosan pushed the grinding plate with one hand and fed the soaked beans with the other, and his movements were skillful and brisk. Su's mother originally came to help, but seeing that her son-in-law was a good worker, she stood aside and didn't know what to do.
After a while, the beans were ground into soy milk. Zhao Laosan carried the pulp to the kitchen to filter, boil, and press the tofu. There is one more person today, and I deliberately left some bean curd and soy milk. Seeing that Su's mother looked very bad, she put some sugar in the soy milk.
Steamed buns for breakfast, I bought a lot of meat yesterday, and this bun is stuffed with meat filling, and I feel very moist without lard.
Su's mother was burning the fire in the stove room, and when she saw that her son-in-law was strong and strong, and she was so good at arranging daily food, her heart was sweet: "Mi'er really married a good husband, I thank you for her!" ”
Seeing his mother-in-law's tearful eyes, Zhao Laosan comforted her: "Mother, cherishing the woman is what I should do." ”
"I know that I have to cherish women, but these men from all over the country, I'm afraid that only the son-in-law is the most willing to love his wife. Which woman is busy in and out, used as an animal! "In these ten miles and eight towns, if a woman marries a man, the man is the sky, not only to abide by the rules of three obedience and four virtues, but also to work in the fields and live like cattle every day.
"Mother, it's serious! Let's eat! ”
Su Mi also got up, and when he went to the stove room, he saw steaming meat buns, sweet soy milk, and clear tea cucumbers, and a stack of pickled dried radishes on the table. Hurriedly sat down, took a bun and handed it to Su Mu: "Mother, do you taste this bun, is it delicious in the shop on the street?" ”
Su Mu answered, took the bun, and after breaking it, Bai Shengsheng's noodles exuded a fragrance, and the meat was chopped and eaten with green onions, ginger and garlic, and the mouth was full of meat.
"The buns made by my son-in-law are better than those in the shops on the street!" When Su's mother eats it, the skin is moist and she can swallow it without drinking porridge, and the meat foam of this big lump is even more fragrant.
"Mother likes to eat!" Seeing that Su Mu was eating deliciously, Su Mi opened her mouth to reveal her jade-like teeth, and smiled gently.
After breakfast, Zhao Laosan was going to the town to sell tofu. Su Mixiang went together, but he was afraid that his mother would be boring at home, so he had to accompany his mother at home.
The cool breeze is blowing, and it's cool to see it. Su Mi released the chickens and ducks in the chicken pen and pecked them in the dam. A pair of small hands hold millet, and this little chick's red mouth eats directly in his hands.
"Mi'er, I see that my son-in-law is really hard, you cook more side dishes on weekdays, so that your son-in-law is also refreshing!" Su's mother is still worried that her daughter is too sincere, and if the man is annoyed and doesn't love her anymore, she won't have a foothold at home.
"Mother, you are relieved, I can't do the work in the field or the field, but I am the best at the food in this stove room!" Su Mi's voice was as beautiful as gurgling water, and Su's mother knew that her daughter and the food she cooked were better than those in the restaurants on the street.
I had nothing to do at home, so I took my mother to the field to have a look. When Su's mother saw this green bean field, she couldn't help but feel relieved, and praised her again and again for having a good son-in-law.
"Mother, I'm afraid you haven't eaten edamame in a while, let's pluck some beans and go back and make edamame to eat!" After Su Mi finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing two white arms.
The movements of the hands were swift, and in a moment they pulled a bundle of beans.
The two went home and peeled out the tender beans, in the white disk, crisp raw beans, slightly bulging belly, looking cute and appetizing.
The beans are boiled in hot water for a while, then scooped up, poured into the pot, mixed with water and cooked with spices such as cinnamon and star anise.
Su Mi moved quickly, and cooked the edamame in half an hour. The incense in the stove room was overflowing, and when the fire in the stove room was extinguished, I heard a woman's voice in the dam outside.
Thinking that there was something going on with the concubine, Su Mi wiped her hands on the apron, brushed her hair again, and then walked out quickly.
Standing stood a woman and a woman who looked like a girl, and although her face was full of pleats, she was dressed in a variety of styles and cloths that had not been seen in the town. The girl next to her was about the same size as Su Mi, with a ruddy complexion, a pair of bright eyes, slightly round cheeks, and plump hands and fair skin.
"Two women, are you going wrong?" Su Mi saw that the two didn't know each other, and they didn't look like fellow villagers, so she asked softly.
Unexpectedly, the woman's face was crooked, and she carried her skirt and sat on the steps on the chair: "You are Zhao Laosan's woman Su Mi?" ”
Seeing that this woman knew her name, Su Mi thought that maybe it was someone her man knew, so she smiled: "Auntie is here to find my husband, my husband went to sell tofu on the street, and I guess I won't come back until noon!" ”
The woman didn't speak immediately, with a pair of slender eyes, she stared at Su Mi for a long time, and then she didn't care for a while: "I think your woman is just like this, she is small, she won't go to the field and the field, and she won't give birth to a son." ”
This woman's words were disrespectful, Su Mi's eyebrows frowned, and a peach lip opened: "This aunt, okay, what did you say about me for no reason?" ”
"Woman of the Zhao family, today I brought my daughter to the Zhao family to recognize the door, if I don't come to see you in person, I am afraid that after my daughter marries Zhao Laosan, she will be bullied and I don't know who bullied her."
"What? You said that the husband wants to ...... Want to marry your daughter? Su Mi only felt like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and her brain was dizzy. When I was a girl before, I heard that this man would have three wives and four concubines if he had a little ability. What's more, a man like his husband, who has a big waist and a thick waist and can run a family, will definitely marry several women.
"Sister, in the future, I will serve men with you!" This woman is not so tricky, a red lip is open, and her voice is a little charming.
This sister called Su Mi's heart numb, and Su's mother reminded her several times, and she said that Zhao Laosan took her seriously. It's only been a few months since she got married, and she's going to marry a new lady again, and she really doesn't feel good about it.
"Ke'er, this will be your home in the future, looking at the house is spacious and clean, you will definitely serve your man well, and turn around to give birth to a fat doll, you will definitely be able to compare with some people." The woman held her daughter's hand with both hands, but her eyebrows looked at Su Mi.
Su Mi lowered her head, a pair of apricot eyes filled with tears, she couldn't hold back any longer, and only let the tears roll across her cheeks.
"Didn't my sister say that men would come back at noon, then I'll cook, my cooking skills are very good, I believe men will like it." This woman is not ashamed at all, and when she speaks, she is tougher than this real lady.
"Ke'er? Did your husband ask you to come? Su Mi washed her nose and looked up at the woman.
This person is informal, although he does not have the appearance of sinking fish and geese, but he is also a first-class beauty in ten miles and eight towns. The waist is plump, half a head taller than Su Mi.
"Sister, my name is Shen Ke, and I am the daughter of the Shen family in Changhe Town next door, you can call me Ke'er like my mother in the future!" Shen Ke's eyebrows were crooked, and his red lips were dazzling.
The Shen family in Changhe Town, Su Mi knows it. Although I have not been to this Changhe Town, I know that the Shen family is one of the largest families, and the family is engaged in the rice business, and there are dozens of large and small shops, even in their town, there are many shops of the Shen family.
This woman is not short of food and clothing, she is well-born, fair-skinned and plump, and her gestures are all the demeanor of a large family. Su Mi wiped the tears on her cheeks, and Su Mu heard the noise and paced over from the hall.
