Chrysanthemum and Huaizi returned home, had a simple dinner, and immediately went their separate ways to get busy, and Huaizi agreed with Aoki at noon, and went to find someone to talk about things; Chrysanthemum went back to her parents' house and waited for Yang.

He Shi saw that the chrysanthemums were busy all day, and there was no time to rest when it was dark, so he said to her: "You go over first, and Aunt Liu and I will take care of the two little ones." When they sleep, I'll go see your mother later. It was cold at night, so I had an extra set of clothes. Grape, you go with the young grandmother, your little baby is smart, her eyes are bright, and she looks at the road. ”

The grapes hurriedly agreed.

Chrysanthemum smiled: "Mother, it's next door, and it's not far away." Instead, you should be careful when you walk, and let the grapes accompany you. ”

He waved her away, saying that he was used to stepping on the mountains and fields everywhere, and he was more stable than her.

Chrysanthemum smiled helplessly, because she remembered the Yang family in her heart, and she was worried that if her brother hadn't come back, her grandmother would be in a hurry if she was at home with a gourd, so she hurried to Zheng's house with grapes.

Sure enough, Aoki and the others haven't come back yet.

Under the faint moonlight, the courtyard gate was wide open, and the two big dogs were lying at the courtyard gate, and when they saw Chrysanthemum, they immediately got up, but they didn't make a sound—apparently they recognized Chrysanthemum as soon as they got closer—just rubbing against her legs. Xiao Hei was old back then, and he was already a little staggered when he walked, and he kept sniffing around the chrysanthemum, and he seemed to be particularly attached to her.

The door of the main house is also open, grandma Wang is holding the gourd, sitting at the door of the house, looking out of the courtyard, a lonely lamp jumping on the table behind him, Lai Shou is lying on the table to write, he is facing the door, his back is reflected on the wall, casting a big shadow, not human.

Chrysanthemum regretted it in her heart, she should have let Aunt Liu or Grandma Liu come over to accompany her, she shouldn't have left her at home with two little babies like this. Looking in from the outside of the courtyard, the huge courtyard was silent, only a little dim light, and the three of them were silent, this situation was extremely lonely.

"Auntie!"

In the end, it was a little baby, his eyes were bright, and the gourd saw two figures coming in from outside the courtyard, and after a careful look, he immediately screamed loudly, and his voice was full of joy.

He sat here with the old lady for a long time, and for some reason, his heart seemed to be fluctuating, even if he nestled in the old lady's warm arms, pulling the placket of her chest, he was very flustered. He stubbornly refused to go to bed, and he had to wait for his father and grandmother to come back. When I saw Chrysanthemum at this time, I suddenly settled down, hurriedly struggled out of Wang's arms, and ran to the yard to meet Chrysanthemum.

Chrysanthemum took him by the hand and entered the house, Grape brought a small bench and put it behind her, after she sat down, she held the gourd in her arms, touched his head, kissed him again, and said apologetically to Wang: "Grandma, leave your old man alone at home, are you in a hurry?" Haven't you eaten yet? Don't wait for my mother and them, you should eat first, and wait for them to come back before you can be busy, otherwise you will delay your work when the time comes. ”

When Wang saw her, he also seemed to have a backbone, and said with a smile: "I also want the two of them to eat first, but there are so few people in this house, and even the babies find it difficult to eat when they come back."

At this time, Laishou also put down his pen and came to Chrysanthemum's side and whispered: "Sister Chrysanthemum! ”

Chrysanthemum answered, helped him check the wound on his ear, and saw that the clamp had been formed, so he relieved his heart, so he said to him: "Let's eat first, and when your aunt comes back, we won't have to get in the way of serving the table again." grapes, and light an oil lamp to brighten up the house. You and your grandmother bring some food and let them eat it first. After dinner, I'll tell you a story. ”

She had already cooked several big dishes before leaving, and Wang only needed to cook a meal and stir-fry some side dishes at night, so she didn't worry about no one cooking.

Laishou immediately agreed excitedly: "I'll also go and help grandma serve food." The gourd is still young, so I'm here to accompany Sister Chrysanthemum. ”

The grapes were also happy, and when the young grandmother told the story to the gourd, she didn't blink her eyes when she heard it, so she hurriedly lit the lamp and arranged the meal.

The room suddenly brightened up and became lively, and it was no longer as deserted as before.

After eating and washing the dishes for a while, Chrysanthemum saw that her brother had not come back yet, so she forced her to put down her uneasiness and tell the story to a few little ones, while Wang looked at her eyes and sewed clothes, and persuaded her not to listen.

“…··· This fool was lucky and married a daughter-in-law. In May, his daughter-in-law was pregnant with a baby, and the fool went to her daughter-in-law's house to report the good news. His mother-in-law sent a basket of eggs and told the fool to go home and cook them for his daughter-in-law. The mother-in-law was worried that the fool would be stupid and unreliable, so she told him carefully that she would not be able to beat the eggs until the water in the pot boiled to the point where it was making a splash. The fool remembered. But on the way back, he forgot a lot about it, panicked in his heart, and thought vigorously, when did his mother-in-law say to beat eggs? After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered to 'goo-goo-goo- He had just passed through a ravine, and the fields above were higher, and the water flowed into the ravines below, and 'coo, clatter, sound—"

At this point she stopped, the grapes already had a bad feeling, her little hands covered her mouth, and her eyes widened at the chrysanthemums; Lai Shou also grinned, only the gourd looked at his aunt, and he didn't understand much, but he liked to be held by his aunt like this and listen to his aunt talk.

—"When the fool saw the splash in the ditch, he hurriedly put down the basket, cracked the basket of eggs one by one, and threw them into the field

"Hahaha......" Laishou laughed and fell to his feet.

Grape laughed for a while, then asked with a sad brow, "What can I do then?" When he came home, there was nothing left, and his daughter-in-law would definitely scold him. ”

Chrysanthemum was about to speak, when she heard Wang Shi shout happily: "Hua'er, your mother is back." ”

Sure enough, Aoki drove the carriage into the courtyard and shouted into the house, "Daddy Hulu is back." ”

The two dogs also seemed to be active, barking loudly, running back and forth with the carriage, and when the car stopped, they looked at the door of the car, the dog's eyes were shining under the dark moon, staring at Zheng Changhe and others who got off the car, their tails wagged rapidly, extremely happy, it seemed that even they felt that there were fewer people in the yard!

So, the enthusiasm for listening to the story was immediately replaced by the joy of waiting for relatives, and the gourd took the lead in rushing to the yard, shouting in his mouth: "Dad, mother, grandpa, grandma!" The voice was crisp and cheerful, and Grape hurriedly followed behind to prevent him from falling.

Chrysanthemum was also very happy, and Wang Shi stepped forward, a good greeting, only to hear Aoki say "Mother is fine", the heart immediately put down, the rest no longer care, so happily arrange the meal.

However, when the meal was put on the table, Liu Yunlan helped Yang to sit down on the table, Zheng Changhe smiled with his mouth closed, and said continuously: "Chrysanthemum, go get some sour bamboo shoots, your mother can't get used to eating these miles......"

Before he finished speaking, he was glared at fiercely by Yang and said, "What are you yelling about?" Don't be embarrassed, watch the babies laugh! He looked a little embarrassed as he spoke.

Aoki and Liu Yunlan both smiled silently, Aoki was afraid that his father and mother would be embarrassed, so he said to Chrysanthemum: "Today, our family is double happy, and your sister-in-law is pregnant again." As he spoke, he pushed his head against the gourd in his arms, "Hulu, do you want a brother or a sister?" ”

The gourd happily hugged his father's neck, kept moving up, and shouted, "Sister! ”

Chrysanthemum and Wang were overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Really? When did Sister Yun Lan react? ”

Liu Yunlan's face was red, she sat at the table, and said shyly, "I······ I thought it was almost, but I wasn't sure, I just sent my mother to the market today, so I let Dr. Yun take a look, saying that it has been more than two months......"

Chrysanthemum smiled happily: "This is really a happy event, a good omen!" Daddy······"

Zheng Changhe didn't wait for her to finish speaking: "There is another happy event: your mother is also pregnant, and she wants to give you a younger brother, isn't this a big joy?" Go and pick up some sour bamboo shoots, your mother loves to eat sour. ”

To say that Liu Yunlan was pregnant, Chrysanthemum immediately smiled when she heard the news, but when she heard that Yang was also pregnant, she blinked and looked at her father, she couldn't react for a while, opened her mouth wide, and the second half of the words were stuck in her throat, with a stunned face!

Yang looked at the surprised look of his daughter and his mother, and was so ashamed that he couldn't feel ashamed, and he didn't know what to do. Originally, pregnancy was a happy event, but at such an old age, she was pregnant with her daughter-in-law, isn't it a shame?

Still chrysanthemum reacted quickly, seeing that her mother was embarrassed and uncomfortable, her eyes rolled, and she said in surprise: "Oops! This is really a good sign - it shows that our old Zheng family is going to develop and prosper.

Seeing that his father and brother were looking at him, he explained: "Our Zheng family has been passed down for several generations, this year not only my sister-in-law is happy, but even my mother is pregnant. Dad, this yard will definitely not be enough to live in the future, and I will have to build another mile! ”

She is very smooth - in other words, she seems to be addicted to lies, last time it was a lie to the dead, now it is a lie to the newborn, she feels that she is about to become a god.

But Zheng Changhe and others believe it very much - can they not believe it, who is unhappy when her daughter-in-law is pregnant? Who doesn't think that having more children and grandchildren is a good momentum for prosperity?

Zheng Changhe laughed and said: "If you want to build, you want to build, no matter how much you live, you are not afraid." Chrysanthemum, I think you're really right, I'm afraid our old Zheng family is going to send it. Her mother, you are embarrassed, this is our own family, what is there to be embarrassed about? Chrysanthemum said, the old son is the smartest, and our son may be like Yang Zi in the future, and he will be able to show off his talents. When the time comes, you and I will be Xiucai's father. ”

Wang also came back to his senses, and said to Yang with disgust: "Such a big happy event, you are still twisting and pinching, I don't know how many people can't look forward to it." You listen to me, from now on, you will be busy all day long, this family will work alone, you will not starve to death, and I will have the work in the kitchen. You are so old, you have to be extra careful in raising the baby, I will say an eccentric word, Yun Lan is young, thicker than you, I am afraid that it is better than you, but you can't be careless, you don't have to work in the future, this family will be handed over to me. ”

Chrysanthemum looked at her grandmother and couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh, feeling that she was like the person who was unemployed for a long time in her previous life and finally found a job, and she spoke a lot more energetically.

Yang looked happy when he saw his mother and daughter, and his expression was better, but he was still white like Zheng Changhe, blaming others for being crazy, like a baby.
