Chapter 152: The Little One in the Snow
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it is the day when the married girl returns to her parents' home, and the Wu and Hu families take their children back to their parents' homes early in the morning.
Hu originally wanted to take Xu Qingyan's sister and brother back together, but Xu Qingyan slept late yesterday, and when Hu called someone in the morning, she was still confused and didn't want to open her eyes, so Hu had to take Xu Qingwen with him.
Just after the hour, Xu Qingyan was confused, as if she heard someone talking outside the door, thinking about today's day, guessing that the eldest aunt and the second aunt should be here.
At this time, I had to get up if I didn't want to, the eldest aunt and the second aunt came, and as a junior, she had to go out to meet guests.
Wearing the clothes given by Xiaohan yesterday, Xu Qingyan conjured up the water mirror and combed herself with a matching hairstyle, looked at the girl standing in the mirror, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Mother, how are you doing at home these days?" Xu Peilan asked
Cao Shi nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, how are you doing, how are Xiao He's family talks, and Ah Wei's daughter-in-law is stable?" ”
As soon as Xu Qingyan came to the door, she heard that the house had begun to be set up inside.
"The eldest aunt, the second aunt." Xu Qingyan opened her mouth to call people.
"Oh, Ayan is here, come and sit." Xu Linglan and Xu Peilan hurriedly greeted her.
Since the news of Ah Yan's sealing of the county lord reached their village, their family's status in the village has suddenly improved a lot, and many people who are not close on weekdays have begun to walk back and forth, full of envy.
Knowing that Ah Yan was the county lord because he developed a nutrient solution that could increase grain production, those people were even more enthusiastic, and every time they came and went, they would mention two sentences in that regard.
They naturally heard the meaning inside, but they didn't make this thing, how dare they call the shots at will, and they divert the topic every time.
After Xu Qingyan sat down, Cao Shi asked Xu Peilan again: "How is Xiao He's family affair, has it been decided?" ”
Xu Peilan smiled: "It's set, it's set a year ago, this is still stained with Ayan's light, originally many girls didn't look down on our family's family background, since the news of Ayan's sealing of the county lord came over, those people immediately agreed, I thought about it, and picked a more eye-catching one, the date is set on the sixth day of the first month of March, and then you all have to go to drink happy wine." ”
Then he said to Xu Qingyan: "Ah Yan will also go, and I can also save face for your cousin when the time comes." ”
Xu Qingyan said with a smile: "Okay." ”
Cao Shi was also very happy when he heard this, and turned to Xu Linglan and asked, "How is Ah Wei's daughter-in-law, is this baby still stable?" ”
Xu Linglan said with a smile: "Settle down, since she was pregnant, I didn't dare to let her do a little work, for fear of any more accidents." ”
Xu Qingyan frowned when she heard this, pregnant women can't do heavy work, but they don't do anything at all, they lie down every day, it's not good, it's not good for the body, and it's easy to have accidents when they are born.
But it's not easy for her to say anything about it, otherwise the second aunt would think that she wouldn't be good at seeing her sister-in-law.
Seeing them chatting about some trivial matters in the parents, Xu Qingyan was not interested, so she sat with them for a while and then said goodbye.
When she went out, Xu Qingyan went to Li's house to look for Li Xiaohan, but when she came to the door, she found that the door was locked.
Xu Qingyan remembered that today is the second day of junior high school, and Aunt Li may have taken Xiaohan back to her parents' house, and Uncle Li probably accompanied her.
The local custom is that in the first five years of marriage, on the second day of junior high school, the husband will accompany his wife back to her parents' home, and after five years, it depends on the individual who accompanies him or not.
Of course, this is a general situation, and there are also those who look down on their daughter-in-law's mother's family and do not accompany their daughter-in-law home.
Seeing that Li Xiaohan was not at home, Xu Qingyan didn't plan to go back, and when she came out, she planned to walk around.
After the snow melted, the country roads were still a little muddy, although the cold wind was blowing at the moment, Xu Qingyan didn't feel too cold, since she cultivated, her resistance to cold and heat was far beyond ordinary people.
Walking slowly on the country road, Xu Qingyan was still thinking about what happened just now, Cousin-in-law Wei has been lying still since she was pregnant, and it will definitely be difficult to give birth in the future, if the child in her belly is older, maybe there will be dystocia.
But she had a fetal protection charm and a labor inducing charm, but she didn't know how to give it to her.
Externally, she can be said to be an ancestral medical skill and prescription, but the second aunt turned out to be also a member of the Xu family, and it was impossible for her not to know whether the Xu family had ancestral medical skills, so such an excuse was useless to her.
If they said that they bought it in the county seat, it doesn't seem to work, and if they plan to go to the county seat to buy it themselves, they won't be able to wear it.
While thinking about things, while walking, he unconsciously walked to the foot of Huixian Mountain, and the white light from the snow stabbed Xu Qingyan back to his senses.
Although the snow on the trail has melted, there are few people here, so the foot of the mountain is still white.
Looking at the thick snow, Xu Qingyan suddenly became playful, and ran over in three or two steps.
Stepping on the snow, listening to the creaking sound of snow under her feet, Xu Qingyan grinned, and walked excitedly on the snow with one foot left and one foot on the right, looking at the series of footprints left behind her, she was so happy.
"Squeak. Chirping. "Xu Qingyan was having fun, but suddenly she seemed to hear something?
I stopped and listened, but I didn't hear anything.
Just when she thought it was an auditory hallucination and wanted to continue playing the snow game, she heard a subtle squeak, and Xu Qingyan hurriedly pricked up her ears.
The cry was very weak, and if she hadn't cultivated her divine sense and her six senses were keen, she wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.
After carefully distinguishing it, she found that the sound came from the dead grass behind the side, and Xu Qingyan immediately turned around and walked back.
Half of the snow on the top of the dead grass has fallen, and the other half is still hanging, but it is also trembling at this time, and it looks like it can't fall, which makes people look really uncomfortable.
Xu Qingyan stepped forward slowly, shook the trembling snow that was about to fall, and ended the feeling of fear.
But I saw a palm-sized creature squatting under the dead grass, and the little guy's head was stretching out into the dry grass at this time, and the little body was shivering with cold.
Xu Qingyan looked at it, the palm-sized body, the fur was not dense enough, and under the snowlight, she could still see the frozen red skin under the white hair.
Hearing the movement, the little guy slowly stretched his head out, and when he saw Xu Qingyan, his little eyes were full of panic.
Looking at this little guy who was only the size of a palm, Xu Qingyan's heart softened, and she stretched out her hand to pick it up.
Who knew that the little guy's small body shrank back, the expression on his face was very terrifying, and the hair that was not dense also stood up, and he whimpered.
Xu Qingyan looked at its very humanized expression, and her heart moved, this little guy who can't see the breed is afraid that he is a little smart.
Then he said softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, are you very cold now, I can give you warmth." ”
The little guy looked at her several times, as if thinking about the possibility of this matter, and after half a sound, it may be the kindness in Xu Qingyan's eyes that moved it, and the little guy's expression slowly began to loosen, and soon his body leaned forward.
Xu Qingyan stretched out her hand again, this time the little guy was held in her arms without any resistance, Xu Qingyan folded her sleeves, and tried her best to block the cold wind for it with her sleeves.
"Why are you here on such a cold day? Where's your mother? ”
Now that the snow has not melted, the animals should still be in hibernation, and this little guy has not even grown all the hair to protect him from the cold, and he has only been born for a long time.
The little guy in his arms moved when he heard the words, as if he understood Xu Qingyan's words, raised his head, and his dark eyes were full of sadness.
Xu Qingyan received its emotions and sighed in her heart, its mother may have had an accident, otherwise it would be impossible for the cold winter to leave the little guy here.
Originally, she was still hesitant to take it back, but because of the last time the spirit peacock happened, she no longer dared to take the animal home.
This little guy is so spiritual, I'm afraid it's not ordinary, if his mother is still there, he will take it back and cause trouble again, but now looking at its appearance, it should be no mother.
Xu Qingyan's heart softened when she thought of this, and said softly: "It's so cold outside, why don't I take you home." ”
The little guy lowered his head when he heard this, and arched his head into her arms again!
That's agreed!
Xu Qingyan smiled slightly, felt the little guy in her arms tremble, and looked at her sleeves that were not wide, obviously the narrow cuffs did not block all the cold wind for it.
Helpless, Xu Qingyan had to open the placket, put the little guy in her arms, make sure that the little guy would not be stuffy, and straighten the clothes before hurrying home. 2k reading web
