Chapter 97

Seeing the little daughter-in-law's red little nose, He Bai pecked her distressedly, then gently put her on the bed and lay down, and went to the kitchen to cook porridge for her.

It's been a long time, and the little daughter-in-law has just pulled it for so long, so now her stomach must be very empty, so she has to boil some millet porridge to warm her stomach.

I went to the kitchen to look for it, and found that there was no millet left, and I wanted to go out to buy it, but I didn't worry about the little daughter-in-law lying in the house, so He Bai could only retreat and cook a white porridge.

Thinking that the little daughter-in-law would not wake up so soon, he put the rice on it and turned on a small fire to boil it slowly.

Although the porridge he boiled was not as delicious as Xu's mother's, he could learn one or two points when he saw the big one, and these two points were enough for him to cook a pot of fragrant white porridge.

Don't look at the boiled white porridge, He Bai washed his hands and turned back to the room, sitting quietly next to him and looking at the little daughter-in-law whose face was still pale, and blamed himself in his heart.

Xia Ping slept very soundly, except for a bowl of porridge that woke her up at seven o'clock, she slept very soundly this night.

I woke up refreshed, although my stomach had not fully recovered, but compared to the colic appearance yesterday, this pain was nothing.

Looking to the side and finding that the quilt was empty, she was stunned for a moment, and finally got out of bed and walked out slowly.

Walking out of the living room, she found that He Bai didn't know what to look at standing at the door, she looked at it for several minutes, and found that he was still motionless.

With some curiosity in his heart, Xia Ping raised his feet and walked over slowly, and before he had taken a few steps, he saw him turn around, and his originally icy face suddenly turned into a spring flower.

He Bai saw that his little daughter-in-law woke up and hurriedly went over to help her, and found that although her little face was pale, she was no longer as spiritless as yesterday, but she still couldn't help but mutter: "Why don't you lie in the house?" What are you up for? It's still early. ”

"How's the body? Are there any good points? If you are uncomfortable, you have to be honest, you still have to go to the hospital, but you can't force yourself to go to the hospital. ”

Seeing that he was chattering beside him, Xia Ping chuckled: "I've been lying down for so long, my whole body is sore, I want to get up and walk, I'm much better, I won't go to the hospital, I'll tell you if I'm uncomfortable." ”

After a pause, she asked again, "What were you just standing at the door looking at?" ”

He Bai paused, and then casually helped her walk around the yard, and replied casually: "It's nothing, I'm a little curious, why don't there be children setting off firecrackers in the alley today." ”

"When you say that, I also think, no wonder it's so quiet today, it turns out that there are no less firecrackers." Xia Ping nodded, feeling a little surprised in his heart, after all, it has been so many days, and this is the first day that he has not heard the sound of firecrackers set off by children.

He Bai touched his nose and pulled the corners of his mouth where his little daughter-in-law couldn't see, anyway, he wouldn't admit that he was standing in the yard early in the morning and scared away the children who were about to set off firecrackers one by one.

He is a kind, beautiful and positive young man, how could he do such a thing to scare children? Anyway, it was definitely not himself who stood at the gate of the courtyard just now to scare people.

The innocent Xia Ping didn't expect that it was a good thing done by the people next to her, she held He Bai's hand and walked for more than ten minutes, and then began to pant slightly.

"Don't go, I'm tired and want to rest." Xia Ping, who couldn't walk anymore, waved his hand, rejected his suggestion to let him go back to his room and lie down, pointed to the table under the grape trellis, and said, "I want to stay there for a while"

Looking at the tables and chairs stained with snow on them, He Bai asked Xia Ping to wait for a while, he went to get something to clean the tables and chairs, and then took out a blanket from the room and covered it before helping Xia Ping sit down.

Seeing him so comprehensive, Xia Ping was secretly happy in his heart, but he pouted slightly, "You don't have to be so careful, I'm not the fragile glass, just sit for a while, how can I spread a blanket."

"You're not fragile glass, you're a white jade doll." He Bai squatted in front of her on his knees and nodded her little nose, "I don't care about anyone else, my little daughter-in-law has to be delicately raised, this chair is so cold, your body is not well, what should I do if I accidentally get cold again?" ”

Xia Ping pouted, looking at him without speaking, only tapping his toes comfortably.

He Bai pinched her feet and sat with her for a while, feeling that the porridge in the pot was almost boiled, and then asked her: "The porridge should be edible, do you want to eat it in the house or here?" ”

"Hmm..."Xia Ping tilted his head and said softly, "Let's eat here, I haven't eaten outside yet." ”

"Then eat here." He Bai complied with her wishes, nodded her forehead, and said, "Then you go to brush your teeth and wash your face, and your husband goes to bring out the porridge." ”

Xia Ping, who remembered that she hadn't brushed her teeth and washed her face, blushed, she covered her face and walked quickly to the room, and the messy little steps provoked He Bai to laugh out loud.

Ying Xia Ping's face turned even redder, she trotted into the bathroom, patted her red face in the mirror, and then let out a long breath, it's too embarrassing here, I stayed with him for so long without brushing my teeth and washing my face, and I don't know if there will be a taste in my mouth.

After taking a closer look, she was relieved that she didn't find anything special on her face, but fortunately, she didn't drool when she slept, otherwise her face would have been even bigger.

After packing herself, she lingered for a while before slowly walking out.

Walking out of the courtyard, he found that two bowls of white porridge and a few side dishes had been placed on the table, Xia Ping looked at He Bai who was sitting on the side and gave him a thumbs up.

He Bai, who was praised by his little daughter-in-law, raised his chin arrogantly, "Come over quickly, try the dishes cooked by your husband, is it much better than before?" ”

Xia Ping didn't say anything polite to him, sat down opposite him and took a step to pick up a piece of lettuce and put it in her mouth, the crisp taste made her can't help but give He Bai a thumbs up again.

"It's delicious! The technology is much better than before. Xia Ping picked up another piece and ate it before hesitatingly speaking: "It seems to be a little lighter." ”

"Hmm!" He Bai nodded, "You haven't done it yet, so you put it a little lighter." ”

"Okay!" Although his mouth was a little light, Xia Ping, who knew that he was for his own good, nodded obediently.

After slowly eating the porridge, Xia Ping followed He Bai into the kitchen, stood aside and watched him wash the dishes, the eyes that had fallen on his hands slowly moved up, and then stopped on his face, and then spoke softly for a long time: "Why are you so good?" ”

He Bai didn't stop, turned his head and winked at her, and said with a smile: "You are my daughter-in-law, I am good to you, shouldn't it be?" ”

"Then as long as it's your daughter-in-law, will you be good to him? If your daughter-in-law wasn't me, would you be so good to her? Without thinking too much, Xia Ping's words came out directly.

Hearing what the little daughter-in-law said, He Bai stopped his movements, and after washing off the foam on his hands, he wiped his hands with a rag, turned around, and held the little daughter-in-law's shoulders with both hands, his dark eyes seemed to look into her heart: "There will be no one else, except for you, my daughter-in-law will not be someone else." ”

Xia Ping's heart trembled, his eyes were too aggressive, she pursed her lips and whispered, "Then what if you didn't run into me?" ”

He Bai frowned, I don't know what the delicate little daughter-in-law is thinking in her head all day long, where is this so many ifs? Isn't she the one who is now her daughter-in-law?

"There are no ifs." Holding her lips that she wanted to open, He Bai's eyes were dark, his voice was hoarse, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't say it again, I can't say anything about you when I'm talking about my husband." ”

I was sorry for her when she was recovering from a serious illness, and I didn't do anything to her for a long time, but I didn't expect this little conscienceless person to come in and say these nonsense words to herself.

Xia Ping, who was pressed by his lips with his hand, didn't dare to say any more, and took the last two steps, covered his mouth and shook his head: "I won't say it." Then without waiting for He Bai to say anything, he hurriedly ran out.

Seeing that the little daughter-in-law was deserted and fled, He Bai shook his head, looked at the dishes that had not been washed, and sighed, Okay, I have to continue to work.

It's another day when I didn't go anywhere at home, He Bai, who wanted to take my little daughter-in-law out to play, completely dispelled the idea in my heart, this time it can be said that everything went out with my little daughter-in-law twice, but three or four times, it was really providential.

Early the next morning, He Bai was called back to the old house, originally wanting to take his little daughter-in-law with him, but her newly appointed stepfather appeared out of nowhere and took people away directly.

In desperation, he could only return to the old house alone, and was ridiculed by the second elder waiting at the door.

The old lady was very disappointed, she thought that her granddaughter-in-law could come with her, but she didn't expect to look forward to it early in the morning, but she ushered in a burst of disappointment.

Although she knew that it was unrealistic to let her granddaughter-in-law come over for the New Year, it didn't prevent her from losing her temper with her grandson, blocking people at the door and scolding, and the old lady turned around and went back satisfied.

He Bai, who was scolded for no reason, touched his nose, and the grievances in his heart reached the peak, but several members of the He family were hard-hearted, and no one cared what he thought in his heart, so he just took care of his own things.

He Bai, who was left out in the cold, had no choice but to follow the second elder miserably.

Although the He family is not as cumbersome as those people in the world, the old lady, as a capitalist lady, still attaches great importance to worshiping her parents.

After He Bai washed his hands, he knelt straight down at the tablet that was invited, listening to the old lady who kept muttering there, his heart that had no fluctuations finally rippled.

The old lady was talking about what had happened these days to her ancestral tablet, especially for Xia Ping, the granddaughter-in-law.

In previous years, he only muttered for more than half an hour, but now he was stunned for more than an hour, and when he got up, his legs trembling after kneeling for too long.

He Yuanshan, who was still kneeling behind her, stretched out his hand to help her before standing up.

After the old lady stood up, she beat her feet for a while before she eased up, she sighed, and said in her heart that her old bones were useless, and it had only been a long time, and it was not like this.

If He Bai heard the old lady's thoughts, he would definitely smile disdainfully, and he knelt for more than an hour before his feet were numb, and the old lady also said that her body was useless.

I went out and asked which old lady in this compound could kneel for more than an hour, I am afraid that there is no second one in the entire capital except her, so she still has the face to say that she is useless, and if she is not useful, the old lady outside will be even more useless.

Xia Ping followed Song Cheng back to Song's house, and when she saw Luo Xunqiu who was busy in the kitchen, she washed her hands and was about to help.

Luo Xunqiu was making dumplings, it turned out that the Song family also had an aunt who cooked, but Luo Xunqiu, who didn't like that there were outsiders in his family, asked Song Song to fire him.

Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, she can only do everything by herself, but fortunately, the family has a simple population, and there are only three people who are full of work, and they have done it all, and because of Song Cheng's help, she doesn't feel tired.

Song Cheng walked next to Luo Xunqiu and took the rolling pin in her hand, picked up a small piece of noodles and rolled it out, originally he would not do this kind of meticulous work, but because Luo Xunqiu had been cooking it from time to time in the past few months, he learned to help him.

Seeing Luo Xunqiu wrapping dumplings on the side, he couldn't help but smile, and wiped some flour on her face with his hand.

Luo Xunqiu was taken aback by him, wiped the flour off his face with the back of his hand, glanced at his daughter with her head down, and couldn't help glaring at him.

Her eyebrows and eyes were charming, and Song Cheng was so glared at her that he only felt that half of his body was crisp, and he winked at her red little face.

Although Xia Ping lowered her head, she still couldn't help but look at the two of them with her spare eyes, and when she found the movements between the two, she pursed her lips, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart for some reason.

Song Cheng, who has worked hard since he was a child, doesn't believe that his ancestors are on top, if his ancestors really have eyes, he won't have so hard life for so many years, so when he has to take at least two cigarettes to worship in other people's homes, his family doesn't even have an incense burner.

After the dumplings were wrapped, the family had nothing to do, so he took his wife and daughter out to hang around, and when it was time to eat, he came back to cook dumplings and eat.

Then I went to buy a lot of vegetables before the stall was closed, and I planned to cook a hearty dinner.

Luo Xunqiu and Xia Ping followed behind Song Cheng, who was holding a large bag and a small bag, and the two empty-handed wanted to help him share it because they were embarrassed, but they were avoided by him.

He still said that he is a big man, can he still make the women in the family suffer?

The helpless mother and daughter could only follow him blankly, there were people on the road, many people cast curious or envious eyes, I don't know why, at this time the mother and daughter were quite tacit, and there was a feeling called pride in their hearts.

When he got home, Song Cheng didn't let the mother and daughter do any work, for him who was not good at cooking, it was already a very embarrassing thing to let his wife cook, and if she was asked to clean up, it would be thundered from the sky.

Luo Xunqiu was also used to Song Cheng's appearance, but Xia Di, who saw her for the first time, was a little stunned, and after looking at it in a daze for a while, she turned her head to look at Luo Xunqiu, "Mom, don't we need to help?" ”

"No!" Luo Xunqiu waved his hand, "If he wants to do it, he can do it, and when he picks up the vegetables later, his mother will go to the spoon again, you are tired after walking for so long, right?" Mommy will take you to rest for a while. ”

After finishing speaking, he no longer cared about Song Cheng in the kitchen, and took his daughter's hand and walked to the room.

Song Cheng also prepared a room for Xia Ping at that time, without asking Luo Xunqiu, everything in this room was purchased by him, even the walls of the room were painted by him, without anyone's hands.

"Come, take a look, this is your room, see if you're satisfied?" Luo Xunqiu pushed open the door of the east house, looked at his stunned daughter, and felt funny.

At that time, I was also shocked when I saw this room, I didn't know that Song Cheng's old man had a piece of powder in his heart.

Xia Ping looked at this room with pink bubbles, she was so frightened that she couldn't do it, and she was stunned for a while, until Luo Xunqiu patted her hand and came back to her senses, she blinked and asked in disbelief: "Mom, this room is mine?" ”

"It's yours." Luo Xunqiu nodded affirmatively, "This room was personally arranged by your Uncle Song, and all the things in it were purchased by him, even the pink wall was painted by him." ”

“……”

Xia Ping blinked, and then blinked, he really couldn't believe that this room, which was all pink, was made by Song Cheng.

Pink walls, pink ceilings, pink light bulbs, pink beds, pink sheets, pink pillows, pink tables, pink wardrobes, forgive her for not being able to find a second color besides pink.

Looking at the pink light bulb, she was stunned, and subconsciously pressed the switch, and when she saw that the light was on, the whole room was burned by the pink light, and her three views were shattered.

Seeing her daughter as if she had been struck by lightning, Luo Xunqiu was happy, she pushed her daughter's back and let her in, and then said with a smile: "Good girl, go and rest for a while, mom go and help your Uncle Song." ”

After speaking, she was afraid that she would laugh in front of her daughter, so she quickly turned her head and ran, leaving only Xia Ping, who had been pushed into the room and stood in a daze for a long time without coming back to her senses.

Xia Ping was stunned in place, and then slowly came back to her senses, she bit her lip and walked around the room mechanically.

Seeing seven or eight small pink dolls piled up on the bed, as well as the pink lamp at the head of the bed, my heart was mixed and very stuffy.

No matter what her daughter thought, Luo Xunqiu went back to the kitchen, and when she saw Song Cheng choosing vegetables, she suppressed her smile and pretended to sit beside him to help as if nothing happened.

Song Cheng glanced at the door, didn't see his daughter, turned his head and asked Luo Xunqiu, "Where is our daughter?" ”

"It's time to go to bed." Luo Xunqiu tried hard to hold back her laughter, she bit the tip of her tongue to prevent herself from laughing, and when she heard Song Cheng's words, she pretended to answer calmly.

"It's time to go to sleep." Song Cheng nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Is that girl happy to see the room I got for her?" Did you ask her if she liked it? ”
