Chapter 7: The Day After Marriage (Part I)
She smiled at him shyly, and was thinking about whether to tell him something at this time, when Wei Mu suddenly lifted the straw mat and walked out of it.
At this time, the sky was still very dark, and the place illuminated by the oil lamp was only as big as his body, and Yuan Xuan could only see the faint figure of his mother-in-law.
She was busy with the appearance of a young girl with a spring on her face, smiled lightly and went up to support her, persuading her to go in and lie down.
This was the first time she had met her mother-in-law, and she felt that she was very kind, and she did not feel as unfamiliar as she imagined.
It's just that this person is a little stubborn, and Yuan Xuan persuaded her for a long time before he finally persuaded her back.
After returning to the main hall, she directly rolled up her sleeves on both sides, and began to familiarize herself with the location of these stoves and ingredients in the room, and prepared to cook breakfast.
After getting acquainted with this, boil hot water and wash before starting to prepare for cooking.
Wei Wei was very considerate, and did not leave all these things to her, but gave her a hand on the side.
At this time, millet porridge was boiling in the pot, Wei Wei helped him watch the fire, and she kneaded some dough to prepare a few cakes.
The sky gradually began to lighten, and Wei Mu was already dressed again, and she said that she would come out to help out.
The two of them naturally refused to say anything, and after she washed up, let her just sit in front of the stove and warm herself.
While Yuan Xuan was busy turning over the cakes in the pot, he took the time to secretly look at his mother-in-law, admiring her appearance in his heart. I have to say that my mother-in-law was definitely a big beauty when she was young.
Wei Wei's face and mouth are very similar to hers, with a palm-sized goose egg face and thin red lips.
Perhaps because of her illness, her face was bloodless and extraordinarily pale. is about the same height as her, about 1.6 meters tall, and is very thin overall.
After stir-frying another vegetarian dish, the little couple asked Wei's mother to sit first, and officially kowtowed to her for tea.
Yuan Xuan's tears were very low, and when she saw her mother-in-law's eyes red, her eyes suddenly became sour and she almost fell into tears.
Afraid of being seen by her mother-in-law and Wei Wei, she hurriedly lowered her head and blinked her eyes, and took back the tears in her eyes.
Wei Wei had already seen it in his eyes, and thought that she was homesick at this time, so he got up and approached Yuan Xuan quietly, and pinched her hand through her clothes to show his comfort to her.
In fact, Yuan Xuan has already collected his emotions, and he is looking left and right at this time to find an excuse to go out and find a toilet. She hadn't solved her physiological problems for twelve hours since yesterday to this time, and she was really panicking.
Forget it, let's talk to him directly, I really can't think of any good reason.
Clearing his throat, Yuan Xuan looked at the sky and the earth, but he didn't dare to look at Wei Wei: "Husband, that, uh... Where is the latrine at home? ”
Wei Wei was stunned for a moment, and after reacting to what she said, she held back a smile and led her to Wei's mother and said, "Mother, you don't have to wait for us to eat first, my son will go and say a few words to Yuan Xuan." ”
Mother Wei smiled from ear to ear, looked at the hands held by the two and asked, "Go, go, you newlywed Yan'er, you should have something to whisper." ”
Wei Wei chuckled and didn't answer, and Yuan Xuan looked embarrassed and trotted out of the room after him.
The latrine was not far away, just behind the pigsty a few dozen meters away, and Wei Wei pointed to her location and waited in place.
After Yuan Xuan solved the physiological problem, he came out of the thatched house and took a general look at the courtyard of the Wei family, and compared it with the Pei family.
Relatively speaking, the Wei family is larger, but there is no courtyard wall here, and the courtyard is only surrounded by a fence.
There are only two rooms in the house, which is her and Wei Wei's room, and the hall just now. There are vegetables and chickens and pigsties planted in the yard......
The snow that had fallen yesterday hadn't melted, and she could see that it was at least four or five inches deep.
The snow on the ground was cleared on both sides of the road, and Yuan Xuan only realized that there were a dozen tables and a bunch of benches in the clearing.
These tables, chairs, and benches have been scrubbed and cleaned, and they are placed in a pile, which should have been borrowed. Not far away are several large basins of dirty dishes and chopsticks, which seem to be waiting to be washed......
I didn't care about these things now, and when I returned to the hall, I saw that Wei's mother was still sitting and waiting for the two of them, so Yuan Xuan hurriedly washed his hands and the three of them ate together.
The dinner table was very quiet, and seeing that Wei Wei ate slowly and elegantly, Yuan Xuan also deliberately slowed down and chewed slowly.
Wei Wei had already said before, he was going to the town to sell the books he copied, and after breakfast, he went out for a walk, and when he came back, he told the two of them a few words, and then went to the town with a basket on his back.
Wei's mother didn't see it with her eyes, but Yuan Xuan could see it clearly, although it was a blink of an eye, she also recognized that there were two live adult hares under the back basket.
Feeling like he deliberately didn't want them to know about it, Yuan Xuan pretended not to see it at this time, and only asked him to come back earlier.
After he left, Mother Wei patted Yuan Xuan's hand lovingly and said, "Good boy, you are tired from yesterday until now, right?" Go back to the house and lie down and rest for a while. ”
Yuan Xuan didn't say that he was tired, but he was very excited, and replied with a shy smile: "Mother, I'm not tired, you've only been tired for the past few days, right?" Go and rest, I'll clean all this stuff first. ”
Mother Wei sneered, this child, I don't know when I got married yesterday, and I have been busy this morning until now, how can she not be tired?
Yuan Xuan didn't know what she was thinking, and when he saw her laughing at herself, he also giggled, and after the giggle was over, he went to boil a large pot of hot water and began to wash a large pile of dishes and chopsticks in the courtyard.
Neither of the two could persuade anyone, so they simply divided their labor and cooperated, one cleaned the first time, and the other cleaned the second time.
The morning of the second day of the wedding was spent in the dishwashing, and there were a few women who came to visit the door in the middle of the dishwashing, specifically to see Yuan Xuan, a talented lady.
Mother Wei smiled at these people so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and praised Yuan Xuan like a flower, which made her a little embarrassed.
These people see that Yuan Xuan is not only good-looking, but also diligent and filial, and they all speak highly of her.
The relationship between the new mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is harmonious, but it is only one morning, and everyone in the village has already spread the word.
When all the dishes and chopsticks were washed, there was still a lot of hot water, and with the concept of not wasting it, Yuan Xuan went to scrub those tables, chairs and benches again.
Wei Wei came back at a very coincidental time, just when she had finished all this and was about to add a pot to cook.
He was in a very good mood, and took advantage of the time when Wei Mu took the medicine back to his small room, and handed Yuan Xuan a wooden hairpin and a small jar.
Yuan Xuan didn't know what was in the jar, but this wooden hairpin was his mind, and she took it in her hand and looked at it over and over again, but she couldn't see enough, and she was really happy.
Seeing that her mother-in-law hadn't come out yet, and there was no one around, she had the courage to stand on tiptoe and wanted to kiss Wei Wei's face.
It's just that Yuan Xuan overestimated his height, Wei Wei has grown a lot taller in the past six months, and she can barely kiss his chin on tiptoe at this time.
