The next day, Ziqing and Shen were sorting the things sent by Zifu, which were nothing more than some food and cloth, as well as some porcelain ornaments, and Ziqing helped Shen classify them. At this time, Ziqing's second aunt Zhou Tianqing came and took some dried vegetables they dried and the glutinous rice they made, as well as the two ducks they raised.

"Brother-in-law is really, every time you come, you have to take the east and the west, it's not easy for you to come once." Shen said.

"Second sister-in-law, thanks to your family, our life has been much better in the past few years, and there is a little surplus every year. Speaking of which, we borrow your light, and this little thing is not enough to do anything, that is, our heart. Zhou Tianqing said.

"Auntie, is my second aunt okay?" Ziqing asked.

"Okay, don't let her do anything. By the way, Ziqing, I came to give your grandma an August festival gift today, only to know that you gave birth to another son, congratulations. I didn't bring any gifts to the child, after the holiday, your aunt will come to live for a while, and she will make up for it then. ”

"I didn't give the letter because I was afraid of trouble, don't bother to give gifts, I don't lack anything, and it's not easy for you, every time the second aunt takes great pains to prepare things for the child. When is she going to come, and she said that I will send someone to pick her up, and this year's harvest will be okay? ”

"How can we also be elders, and giving our children something is also our heart for our children, so naturally we can't avoid it." Zhou Tianqing said.

Shen accompanied Zhou Tianqing to talk about the climate, harvest, etc., and Zhou Tianqing was about to leave and go home. Shen was busy preparing a few boxes of snacks and pulling a few pieces of cotton cloth.

Zhou Tianqing hurriedly stopped: "Second sister-in-law, don't always worry about us, I just said it." There is still some surplus every year, how can you ask for something every time you come? ”

"It's not worth a few dollars, it's just that Xia Yu is not in good health, and it's not easy to go out. Take it and make new clothes for your child. This snack is still sent by Zifu, you can take it and taste it. Shen said.

After Zhou Tianqing left, Ziqing said: "Although my second aunt is not in good health. [~] But my second aunt is quite diligent, and there are few children in the family, and life is better than a year. Every time I come, I don't come empty-handed, although the things are not worth a few dollars, the heart is there, and we appreciate it. ”

"No, as the saying goes, two good can be one good. How can you not give at all and expect others to be good to you? That's why I often say to you, except for the love of parents for their children, which does not need a reason or reciprocation, everything else is mutual. ”

"What my mother said is not entirely true. Didn't my grandma just point to my father in return? Ziqing said with a smile, in fact, the Tian family only treats Zeng Ruixiang like this, and it is indeed a little abnormal for Zeng Ruixiang to raise this big family.

Shen Shi laughed when he heard this, "Not really." How did I forget her? ”

The old man and the Tian family often came over and walked after the Shen family was entitled, and the Tian family didn't make any excessive demands for a while, but. Zeng Ruixiang and Shen's hearts have been cold for many years, and they are not so easy to warm.

After dinner, Ziqing played with a few children in the playroom as usual, which has become a routine, in addition to playing chess and sometimes telling stories. Sometimes I also read some modern prose that Ziqing remembers, or talk about some simple knowledge of physical geography.

At this time, Ziqing and Shurui were playing checkers, and Shuyan asked, "Mother, why hasn't Daddy come home yet?" I miss him all the time. ”

"Mother, I think about it too, Daddy come back soon." Shuyu lowered his head and fiddled with the blocks on the ground and said.

"Come on, maybe the babies will be up tomorrow morning and you will be able to see your father." Ziqing said.

"No need to be tomorrow morning, Daddy will be back now, and Daddy misses my babies." Lin Kangping suddenly appeared at the door, and Ziqing looked at him in a daze.

Shu Yu was the first to react, threw down the chess pieces, and staggered over, Lin Kangping lifted him up and threw him several times, Shu Yu screamed excitedly, put down Shu Yu, and Lin Kangping picked up Shu Yan and Shu Rui respectively. [.]

Lin Kangping stayed with the children for half an hour, answering all kinds of questions from the children, such as how big the boat is, what the sea is like, whether there are really mermaids, what foreigners look like, etc., Lin Kangping patiently answered one by one. Ziqing watched with a smile all the time.

"Okay, it's time for the sons to go to bed, and Daddy is tired, so I need to take a bath and wash up, and play again tomorrow." After speaking, he whispered in Ziqing's ear, "Get them done in a quarter of an hour, I'll wait for you." Ziqing was stunned for a moment, and when she understood, her face turned red, and Lin Kangping had already left with a smile.

After breakfast the next day, Lin Kangping packed up the things in the carriage, there were cloth and dried seafood, and handed Ziqing a small wooden box, Ziqing opened it and saw that it was half a box of gems, red, green, blue and purple, Ziqing pulled it and looked at it, there were really a lot, large and small.

Ziqing hurriedly asked, "How much silver did you spend to buy these gems?" What is this gemstone called like green but not green? ”

"This, it's called cat's eye, I once saw it in the Wen family, I bought it to make Huadian for you, this was polished by David, the Wen family took most of it, I picked some first, those gems cost a hundred taels of silver, do you like it?" What is good for you? ”

"You look at it, you can do whatever you want, as long as you do it, I like it. Why don't you give this gem a few rings to my mother and sister-in-law? Then make a gem-encrusted forehead wipe for my mother. ”

"Rings? By the way, Qing'er, I have a gift for you, in the clothes I changed yesterday, let's go back to the house first. After speaking, Lin Kangping hurriedly put the things into the warehouse. Ziqing was curious about what special gift Lin Kangping bought, so he led him back to the bedroom, Lin Kangping took out a delicate small box, opened it and sent it to Ziqing, which was a pair of rings inlaid with emeralds.

"David said that in their country, men and women must put a ring on each other on the day they get married, although we don't have this custom, but I know that your favorite saying is, 'Take the hand of the son, grow old with the son.'" Today, we also take this pair of rings as a token, in this life, no matter what happens, I will always hold your hand until I am old, never give up. After Lin Kangping finished speaking, he put on this gemstone ring the size of a thumb nail for Ziqing, "Don't take it off in any case in the future, remember." ”

Ziqing nodded and said, "Okay, I also promise you, no matter birth, old age, sickness or death, I will always accompany you." After speaking, he also put on another one for Lin Kangping.

After putting on the ring, Ziqing picked up Lin Kangping's hand and kissed it, Lin Kangping quipped: "How is this enough?" After speaking, he hugged Ziqing and kissed him hard, and was about to hug him to the bed, when Shuyan ran in with Shuyu on the ground, "Daddy, Daddy, you take us to the orange orchard to hunt rabbits." Dad, Mom, what are you doing? ”

Ziqing's face turned red when she heard this, she suddenly pushed Lin Kangping away, glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "It's all your fault, in broad daylight, I don't care, this time it's up to you to explain it to your son." ”

Lin Kangping looked at Ziqing's slightly swollen red lips, watery eyes, crimson cheeks, and slightly messy hair, holding a look of good drama at the moment, like a girl's coquettishness, indescribably charming and lovely. Lin Kangping has been a monk for more than half a year, and he just opened meat last night, and at this moment, he can't wait to immediately press her under him and love her.

Lin Kangping took a deep breath, turned back to Shuyan and said: "Your mother's eyes are in the dust, it's very uncomfortable, Daddy is blowing, I want to help her get it out, Yan'er is good, take my brother out to play for a while, Daddy will go to you when he gets the dust out for his mother, remember, don't make trouble for Daddy, wait for Daddy to come out to find you, and then take you to hunt rabbits, okay?" ”

Shuyu listened and said, "Daddy, I will too, I'll help my mother blow it." ”

"Stupid, didn't Daddy say it, Daddy is in charge of my mother's affairs, and my brother will take you out to play." After speaking, Shuyan led Shuyu out.

Ziqing saw that the children were sent away so easily, and as soon as she reacted, she was already being held by Lin Kangping on the kang. "Qing'er, let's continue what we didn't finish just now." After speaking, he didn't wait for Ziqing to speak, and directly blocked Ziqing's mouth.

When the two of them cleaned up and came out, one was refreshed, and the other seemed to have no strength to walk, and Shuyan ran over with Shuyu.

"Daddy, what's going on with you? We've been waiting for a long time. Daddy, you're so stupid, last time my mother got the sand in my eyes, it's good for a while, it's like you, so long. Shuhiko complained.

Lin Kangping coughed twice and said, "Your mother has a lot of dust in her eyes, so Daddy took a little more time." In this way, Shurui is coming back soon, and after lunch, Daddy will take you there immediately, let's go together. ”

The two children were excited when they heard this, Ziqing secretly pinched Lin Kangping's waist and muttered angrily, "Your eyes are just dusty, and your eyes are full of dust." Why don't you take me there? I'm going to play too. ”

"Okay, you go too, go with Xiaosi, let's hunt a few big fat rabbits for the August Festival." Lin Kangping said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen came in with Shuwei in his arms, and when he heard that Ziqing was going out to play, he hurriedly blamed: "It's only been a few days since the confinement has passed, and it's not fun to recuperate if you don't have a good time at home." When the child is older, how many days can he not go? Partial students want to rush to this meeting, and they are not allowed to go. ”

Lin Kangping didn't dare to defend when he heard it, and hurriedly took Shen's words and said: "What my mother taught us is that we are young and don't know the importance of it, or our mother is thoughtful. ”

Orange Garden didn't go to completion, Ziqing was at home to settle and sort out the warehouse, yesterday Shen sent a bunch of things from Zifu to her, and Lin Kangping brought back the things this time, Ziqing guided Xiaolu to return one by one.

That box of gems, Ziqing decided to make a set of bracelets, rings, earrings, flowers, and steps to add makeup to Ziyu to support the façade, although the Xia family is not as good as the Fu family, it is also an official eunuch family, if Ziyu's jewelry is too simple, I am afraid that it will be looked down upon by the other party's relatives and friends, and the Xia family also has three daughters who are married.
