Chapter 29: New Year (2)
Early in the morning of the second day, Ou Qingjin got up: "I'm going to go to Wenyuan Street to have a look, you don't have to go to ask for peace today, you take the child to sleep more, I will talk to my mother." When you get up, you might as well go to the upper room, where it is more lively, and they can also help you lead the child by the way. ”
Xia Ruixi responded in a daze, turned over and hugged his waist: "It's still early, it's so cold, let's sleep for a while." "Da'er is a little unruly, she got up a few times last night, and this is when she is sleepy.
Ou Qing brushed Xia Ruixi's hair, and obediently lay down and hugged her, Xia Ruixi muttered, rubbed his head into his arms like a kitten with satisfaction, and continued to sleep.
Ou Qing kissed her face lovingly, and then reached out to touch Da'er's smooth little face, and quietly waited for Xia Ruixi to fall asleep before quietly getting up and getting out of bed. Now that the family is like this, he can only rely on him to support himself, he has a lot to do, and he can no longer live the leisurely days of his wife and children in the past.
Ou Qingjin cleaned up by himself, closed the door lightly, and walked out of the courtyard, Changshou was already waiting outside the door: "Fourth master, are you going to Wenyuan Street?" ”
Ou Qing walked to the upper room: "Well, I'll go to the upper room and talk to the old lady first." He paused: "Why did you call the fourth master?" ”
Changshou said with a smile: "It was ordered by the old lady this morning, and in the future, they will all call the young masters, and the young grandmothers will also call them Mrs. To be honest, in two years, the young masters will also marry, and then it will be messed up. ”
Ou Qingjin smiled and shook his head, it turned out that the big guys had been upgraded.
After listening to Ou Qingjin's words, Second Master Ou frowned: "You decided?" Ou Qingjin wants to be an official, wants to cultivate his own power to protect his family, and he understands his feelings, but he has not yet been filial, and he wants to be gossiped about.
Ou Qingjin's eyebrows were full of perseverance: "My son has decided, he can't be slaughtered like this anymore." I originally wanted to wait for the filial piety period to think about this issue, but now that it is so imminent, I can't care about it. Let me tell you first, if there are any rumors in the future, please don't pay too much attention to it. ”
Master Ou Er sighed: "What do I have? At most, people say that I am not strict in discipline, but you, if you make a small fuss, if you make some achievements, this point will inevitably be caught in the future and attack you for being unfilial. ”
Ou Qingjin smiled faintly: "My original intention was just to let my family get through the difficulties, live a plain and prosperous life, and no longer be angry with people, and live a precarious life, I don't care about the rest." If there really is a day when I come home, what's the big deal? ”
Second Master Ou patted him on the shoulder: "Since it's decided, let it go." Does your daughter-in-law know? ”
Ou Qingjin shook his head: "I don't know yet." Because I don't know if I can do it, I don't want her to worry about it in advance. In fact, he didn't want Xia Ruixi to know that he was about to face Zhao Mingtao, so he wouldn't have to worry about her.
Second Master Ou said: "This is a big deal, or should she know earlier, between husband and wife, some things must be discussed before doing, and they should be shared together." If there is something in the future, no one can blame anyone, otherwise it will definitely make trouble, and it will be against your original intention. ”
Ou Qing bowed solemnly: "My son has been taught, if he can succeed, he will talk to her when he comes back." ”
The second master Ou saw Ou Qingjin's tall back go out, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, this young man has grown up, has responsibility, and has his own ideas, he shouldn't let him and his old wife worry anymore, right? What we have to worry about now is to think of ways to solve the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation problems and the New Year's affairs, and then wait for the situation to stabilize a little bit and find the scattered daughters-in-law and grandchildren back.
Ou Qingjin walked out of the street, and ran into Mu Fei, who had made an appointment with him yesterday, and Mu Fei handed him an oiled paper bag from his sleeve: "Come out so early, you must not have had breakfast, right?" The buns that have just come out of the cage, you and Changshou are two for one person. ”
Ou Qingjin smiled: "Why are you as thoughtful as my daughter-in-law?" ”
Mu Fei snorted: "You think everyone is like you, and you forget your friends." ”
The two laughed and scolded, and went to the house on Wenyuan Street together.
The old man who guarded the door was still there, but the slightly valuable things in the room were taken away by the officers and soldiers who searched for food. But fortunately, their cellar was hidden, and the entrance was in the pavilion where the plum blossoms were admired, and no one found it.
Ou Qing asked Changshou to guard the courtyard gate, and he and Mu Fei carried lanterns to explore. Xia Ruixi was very thoughtful at that time, and the cellar was relatively large, and there were many grains and varieties in it. Looking at the baskets of rice, grains, and beans that were full of them, Ou Qingjin almost wanted to jump up, and the Xia family and the Ou family didn't have to starve anymore.
Next year's seeds have also been settled, although it is only enough to plant a small part of the land, but it is finally confident. As long as the seed sprouts in the ground, there is hope and a future.
Mu Fei shook his hands inside with his hands behind his back: "It's all your daughter-in-law who thought of it?" ”
Ou Qing was proud: "Of course. You don't know, she's smart. Although sometimes he likes to play petty, he doesn't lose his knowledge to men at all. ”
Mu Fei said sourly: "Yes, you have found a treasure." However, I see that your daughter-in-law is also quite ambitious, you have to be careful, if you want to marry a little wife, beware of her running away. ”
Although Xia Ruixi was very, very careful, he had already determined that Xia Ruixi was the same person as him. As a person from the same era, he can best understand Xia Ruixi's worries and thoughts, but he can't interfere in her life, so he can only remind Ou Qingjin side-by-side and try to make her less angry.
Ou Qing said vigilantly: "Did she tell you?" Thinking that Xia Ruixi might say these things to Mu Fei, his heart was quite uncomfortable.
Mu Fei laughed: "How could she tell me this? Usually when you talk to me, you have to let other people follow you, and you are very cautious, how can you talk to me about this? I saw it myself, don't believe it! ”
Ou Qing laughed dryly, and took out two large cloth bags from his sleeves: "Let's load the rice grain, and I'll bother you to put the rice on the wall first, and when we go out to look at the rice, you go back and go out from the main gate." "Now that food is more expensive than silver, you can't let others know that this rice was taken from this small courtyard where no one lives, otherwise you won't be unlucky.
Mu Fei lamented while loading the rice grain: "You are really careful. I really owe you in my last life, I will help you save your wife for a while, and I will help you do favors at your father-in-law's house for a while, and I will have to help you do coolies and carry rice this time, and I feel that my kung fu is specially practiced for you? ”
Ou Qing said solemnly: "Don't you eat it?" "It's not a way to always rely on Mu Fei, and besides, he has to leave at night, so he has to think of a car to come. Mu Fei said: "Eat, eat, it's not for you, I'm hiding here to eat?" Of course, in addition to Ou Qingjin, it is also for a bright smile.
Mu Fei carried two huge rice bags and observed no one around him like a thief before he dared to jump out of the wall. found a hidden and clean place to stand waiting for Ou Qingjin, his thoughts were a little wandering, when did he never forget that bright smile?
The leftover women are not ladylike
