Chrysanthemum because of Zhao Qing and Xiao Shi, talking and laughing, actually forgot the discomfort of the newly married, and the yard was also full of laughter. However, Xiao Zhaoqing is really sensible, she played with her brother for a while, and did not eat dumplings at Zhang's house at the retention of chrysanthemums, but as she herself said, the family went to help her mother work.

Chrysanthemum smiled and said to Zhang Huai: "Zhao Qing is more pleasing than a small stone." No wonder Uncle Zhao likes her so much, I like her so much. Every time she comes to play, I don't want her to go. It's just that this baby is very sensible, you just need to say it once, and she will remember it - I taught her what I said just now, but I didn't expect her to learn everything. ”

Seeing her happy appearance, Huaizi said with a smile: "Generally, female babies are always sensible earlier than male babies - male babies are naughty, or my mother always wants a girl!" ”

Zhang Yang pouted and said: "It was a good girl, but she was stunned that the stone was out of tune." ”

Chrysanthemum couldn't help but smile: "Yang Zi, do you like Qing'erli?" The strange stone taught her badly, why don't you teach it yourself, then it will be in your liking. She said she was going to be your bride today! ”

Zhang Yang blushed, just as the bamboo shoots were peeled, he got up and went into the house, and Chrysanthemum looked at his back and smiled.

He Shi came out and took over the conversation and said: "This little girl is simply a little elf, just like her brother. Zhao San and his wife are refreshing and neat, and they don't know why the two babies they raise are so smart. ”

She kneaded dough in the kitchen, and listened to the laughter in the courtyard, and her heart was very happy. She knows that Chrysanthemum likes little babies, and she has more expectations in her heart.

Although the Zheng family next door to the Zhang family is not as lonely as Liu Fugui's family after marrying their daughter, the Yang family and Zheng Changhe are also uncomfortable.

They didn't go to the field today, they were resting at home. Aoki sat under the peach tree, burying his head in the whetstone and sharpening his sickle—ready to cut wheat; Zheng Changhe is mending the rice basket; Liu Yunlan and Yang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law washed vegetables by the well.

Zheng Changhe heard the laughter next door, and couldn't help complaining: "Listen, baby, mother, it's the chrysanthemum laughing!" I have no conscience, I forgot my father and mother when I got married, and I can't go home today, shouldn't I be used to being anxious, how can I still laugh? ”

Aoki and Liu Yunlan pursed their lips and snickered when they heard this.

Although the Yang family also wanted to be a girl, she was not as straightforward as a man, she glanced at Zheng Changhe and said, "Didn't you hear the voices of Zhao Qing and Xiaoshi?" When did that Zhao Qing come over to play chrysanthemums and not laugh? She just liked that little girl. It's good to have her to laugh with Chrysanthemum, and when I got up early in the morning, I heard Huaizi Niang say to Chrysanthemum that she was forbearant and said that she would be able to go back to her parents' house tomorrow, and I think Chrysanthemum is not used to it! ”

She pricked up her ears to listen to the movement next door in the morning, and what He said to Aunt Huaizi made her hear the crops talking word for word. Chrysanthemum didn't speak so loudly, so she didn't hear what her daughter said, but this made her more anxious, and her heart was sour at that time.

Zheng Changhe stopped his hand and hurriedly asked, "Really?" Woohoo! How's that good? In fact, why do you have to go back tomorrow, and it won't be anything if you come back today.

Aoki also looked at Yang.

Yang and Liu Yunlan looked at each other and smiled, and said, "What are you anxious about?" I think it's not easy for Chrysanthemum to get up early - when she is at home, she is busy in the morning, and when she first goes to Huaizi's house, she doesn't know what to do. It's going to be better, aren't you laughing? ”

Zheng Changhe nodded, continued to thread the strip in his hand into the damaged part of the rice basket, and said while busy: "Ming'er will call them back early." Kill a chicken and kill a duck, and Aoki will go to catch two more fish. ”

Aoki nodded in response, it is really reluctant to marry a girl, no wonder people are unwilling to raise a girl and marry someone when she grows up, it's a big loss. He looked at Liu Yunlan, she also shed tears when she returned to the door; Now that Chrysanthemum is married, she is married next door, although she can see it every day, but thinking that she will not eat at home in the future, he is also uncomfortable.

I'll be fine in a few days, Aoki thought.

After breakfast the next day, Chrysanthemum asked Zhang Huai to return to the door and walk behind, and he ran back to Zheng's house first, and shouted at Zheng Changhe when he entered the door: "Dad, I'm back." ”

Zheng Changhe was walking around the yard, and when he saw Chrysanthemum, he smiled and said, "Hua'er, have you eaten?" Hungry or not? Why don't you let your mother pour a bowl of chicken soup for you to drink? I simmered in the stove hole last night, and it's crispy now. ”

Where would Chrysanthemum be hungry, but when her father asked, she hurriedly said, "The breakfast I just ate is not hungry." I'll nibble on a chicken wing first, and then I'll eat a piece of chicken gizzard. "All fathers and mothers like to see their children eat and drink.

Sure enough, Zheng Changhe was overjoyed; Yang knew the habit of eating chrysanthemums, and the girl said this just to make her father happy, she took Chrysanthemum's hand, and said happily while walking into the house: "Just gnaw on a wing, don't eat too much, keep your stomach for lunch—your sister-in-law has cooked a lot of vegetables." ”

Aoki stood under the eaves of the porch, first looked her sister up and down, felt that she looked fine, and then smiled and asked, "Are you used to it?" Do you miss us? ”

Chrysanthemum nodded and said with a smile: "Why didn't you think about it?" I almost ran away yesterday - I don't think it's very good. ”

The brother and sister laughed together.

The family laughed and entered the house, and even Liu Yunlan dropped the kitchen work and came over to make fun and laugh. In the sound of words and fighting, everyone actually forgot about Huaizi, and when he came in with something, he said to Chrysanthemum with resentment: "I'm a new son-in-law, why doesn't anyone pay attention to me?" ”

Aoki laughed, punched him hard and said, "It's so close, you usually come every day, do you still want people to treat you as a petite?" You don't think you're an outsider, I'm used to it. ”

Zheng Changhe glared and said, "What coquettish? I didn't come to help weave straw sandals. The whole family laughed, and Huaizi sat down with Aoki to weave straw sandals, laughing and laughing.

Yang was also amused, and hurriedly said: "Even if he lives close, he will be a coquettish guest when he returns today." Yun Lan, bring up two bowls of chicken soup and help the chrysanthemums to serve less, otherwise you won't be able to eat at noon. ”

Because of the proximity to the house, it doesn't matter if you go home after dinner, so Chrysanthemum and her family have fun and gossip. Aoki and Zhang Huai couldn't be idle at all, and were soon called away by the village chief Li Gengtian, who was in a hurry, and was afraid that Qinghui had new news coming over.

Chrysanthemum remembered the matter of choosing a beautiful woman, pulled Liu Yunlan aside, and solemnly told her a good word.

It turned out that she wasn't worried about being noticed——- after all, she had a reputation for being an ugly girl - but she was worried about this sister-in-law.

According to the psychology of ordinary people, when those people go to the countryside to search for people's women, they are afraid to inquire about what kind of women are in which village, and then go directly to the door, instead of looking for a needle in a haystack from house to house. Liu Yunlan had a great reputation a few years ago, who knows if they will do something to plunder their wives?

Yang listened to Chrysanthemum's words, and was really anxious and helpless—he was still worried about his daughter-in-law here, and he had to worry about his daughter-in-law over there. She looked at Liu Yunlan, whose belly was slightly bulging, tears rolled in her eyes, and she muttered in her mouth: "The things that thunder and split these days can't die well!" If they die, they will also go to hell, and Lord Yama will also throw them into the oil pan and fry them······"

Zheng Changhe kept his face calm and didn't say a word, he didn't have any intention of caring about the affairs in the field at the moment.

Chrysanthemum smiled: "Mother, there are many bad people in this world, Lord Yama is very busy, can you manage it?" It's up to us. Sister Yunlan, no matter what you were like before, now you are married. Think about it, what are those daughters-in-law who are married? ”

Liu Yunlan was stunned and asked, "What is it?" ”

She remembered the dark faces and rough hands of those daughters-in-law, which was not the main thing, the most important thing was that those people spoke and acted completely without the gentle appearance of being a girl, in the words of Chrysanthemum, it was very vulgar, so she hesitated and said: "They ······ They will be ...... in a few years It's not very decent. ”

Chrysanthemum pursed her lips and smiled: "That's right." However, some people pay attention to it, and it will not be particularly ugly; If you don't pay attention to it, it's a little scary. You, if you practice for the past few days, you will become that kind of person. ”

Yang looked at Liu Yunlan, who was very bright, and the recent pregnancy and maintenance were good, and the color on her face was also very good, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid it won't work." Your sister-in-law is like this, it's not easy to pretend. ”

Chrysanthemum smiled: "Mother, you are in a hurry, I have a way." Sister Yunlan, you have endured some hardships in the past two days, go to the ground to get more sun, and tan your face first, this is one; Second, it's the way you walk, you have to be like this-" He said and spread his legs and walked a posture to show Liu Yunlan-"I'm afraid I don't like to learn." You just want those daughters-in-law who walk like ducks, walking with their chests and belly protruding, crossed legs and twisting their waists, anyway, now that you are pregnant, it is easy to learn like this; Then there is talking - you have to shout like a quarrel, because you are a capable girl at home with a mouth and a pair of hands, and when you get married, you will naturally look cool, and if you pretend to be timid and dare not speak, you will be suspected. ”

Liu Yunlan's mouth opened wide as she said this, and she asked funny for a long time: "Is this done?" I can learn from it—many of the daughters-in-law in the village are just like you say. ”

Yang and Zheng Changhe also looked at Chrysanthemum in disbelief.

Chrysanthemum said to them: "Those people are also very particular about choosing beautiful women, not to say that they are good-looking, but also to look at their words and deeds." If the girl is not married and is young, even if it is worse in this regard, they will naturally be taught; But like Sister Yun Lan, who is married and has this appearance, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter their eyes; If you're still like you, it's hard to say. ”

Liu Yunlan suddenly realized, thinking about the appearance of those daughters-in-law, but she was afraid that no matter how good-looking she looked, those people might not be able to look at it - even she was uncomfortable looking at it, thinking that she would be like them in the future, she felt weird.

She had an idea in her heart, and immediately imitated it, which was common, and it was not very difficult to imitate. Chrysanthemum helped her design a lot of movements, and for a while the room was laughing and screaming, and even Yang opened his mouth wide to look at it, which was funny.
