Chapter 9: The Full Moon
Lin Qingmei got up early in the morning on the second day, doing whatever she had to do, looking at Ou Qingjin smiling brightly, and smiling sweetly at Xia Ruixi. Xia Ruixi also looked at her and smiled, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, the two laughed at each other hypocritically, their eyes and knives flying wildly, and they secretly competed.
In front of others, Lin Qingmei still looks like a gentleman and pitiful. If there is any difference, it is that people are a lot more low-key, they always want to have a good relationship with other people every day, rush to do things, play with little yellow when they have nothing to do, and think about going to the kitchen to learn some cooking skills and so on.
But in private, she always deliberately spoke to Ou Qingjin in front of Xia Ruixi with an intimate tone and expression, and said some very ordinary things, and there was nothing to fault in her behavior, but her expression and tone made people look angry, and the provocation was very strong.
No woman likes an irrelevant woman to be courteous and affectionate to her husband. Xia Ruixi obviously felt Lin Qingmei's malicious provocation, but at the same time, she found that Ou Qingjin seemed to be even more uneasy than her. She thought, Ou Qingjin cares about her, he must be afraid of having conflicts and unhappiness with her because of this, right?
In fact, no matter what Xia Ruixi does, whether she is angry or awkward, it is just for the long-term happiness of the two, if Ou Qingjin has a psychological burden because of this, it will go against her original intention.
Therefore, no matter how sour Xia Ruixi felt in her heart, she suppressed it, smiled and groaned, no longer mentioning Lin Qingmei, and became more and more gentle, patient and considerate to Ou Qingjin. Didn't Lin Qingmei just want to be angry with her? She's not angry with this, it's not worth it. What should be said and done has been said and done, and the rest is to be kind to Ou Qing, meticulous and sincere.
On the day of Da'er's full moon, Xia Ruixi changed Da'er into a new set of muslin clothes early in the morning, and brought the blessing longevity lock that Ou Qingjin had prepared in advance; Then he picked out a light cyan muslin autumn robe for Ou Qingjin, put on new shoes of the same color, and combed his hair.
The rejuvenated Ou Qingjin stood in front of her with a smile, Xia Ruixi couldn't take his eyes off, hugged him and kissed him wildly: "You are getting better and better, what should I do?" ”
At this time, her heart was a little crazy. Women who have just come out of confinement are always dissatisfied with their current situation, feeling that this is not as good as before, and it is not as good as before. In fact, Xia Ruixi didn't gain much weight, but when she looked at the appearance of Yushu in the wind during Ou period, she felt more and more bloated and ugly.
Ou Qingjin especially likes Xia Ruixi to look at him with that kind of admiring eyes, and nods her nose with a smile: "You love to praise me." What are you wearing today? Do you want me to help you? ”
Xia Ruixi shook his head: "No, you go and tell them to do things first, I'll let Liang'er help me." ”
Liang'er spread Xia Ruixi's limited few clothes on the bed and compared them for a long time, but she was not satisfied with each of them. When I came in a hurry, I brought too few clothes, some of these clothes were old clothes, some were worn when I was pregnant, in order to hide people's eyes, the materials were not very good, and the color was very average. Even if the width and size have been changed, I always feel a little inappropriate to wear it.
Liang'er pouted unhappily: "It's just a matter of wearing new clothes on this kind of day." The forest fox was dressed like a flower, and he also wore silk. Who does she think she is? ”
Xia Ruixi was also very depressed, she definitely wanted to dress better than Lin Qingmei, but she couldn't help it, her body shape was like this, and the conditions were like this, it was impossible to make new clothes, so she could only settle for it. comforted Liang'er and said: "Let's not compare with her, she is not married, I am a mother." Just wear that crimson one. ”
This crimson coarse cloth dress was worn by Xia Ruixi before, the waist was slightly narrow, Xia Ruixi pinched the thick waist and took a deep breath: "Liang'er, tighten the belt for me." ”
"Is that okay? Wouldn't it be? Liang'er hesitated.
Xia Ruixi said: "It's okay, come on!" "It's a little bit finer.
Liang'er couldn't help but laugh and tried to tighten: "Is it okay?" ”
"Hard, hard, hard, yo...... Tap ......" The belt was tightened too tightly, and Xia Ruixi finally couldn't stand it anymore and screamed softly.
"What's wrong?" Ou Qingjin heard a voice outside and looked in.
Liang'er couldn't help but smile and lowered her head to tie her belt, Xia Ruixi was a little embarrassed: "It's nothing." ”
Ou Qingjin glanced at the old clothes on Xia Ruixi's body and the belt in Liang'er's hand, and roughly understood what was going on, so he said, "I'll change into old clothes too, right?" Old husband and wife, you wear the old one, and I wear the old one, how about it? ”
Xia Ruixi wrinkled his nose: "Don't, a man is dressed decently, it is a woman's face; Women wear ugly clothes, but what they lose is a man's face. Although it is only a few people who come to eat, you are not allowed to lose my face, let me lose your face. ”
Ou Qing let Liang'er go out, and relaxed the belt for Xia Ruixi: "It's too tight, it's not good, wait a few days, I will definitely think of making you a few new clothes." ”
Xia Ruixi smiled: "That's good, there are still a lot of clothes at home that I haven't worn, let's save money to make a lot of money for you, I can't all be defeated." ”
Liang'er knocked on the door: "Aunt Wu's family has come." Ou Qing was busy going out to pick up people.
Aunt Wu and her family only brought their eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law to come, and the congratulatory gifts were the clothes and shoes worn by the children she and her eldest daughter-in-law Zhu made in their spare time. Because I felt that the gift was light and thin, I couldn't hold it, and I added some home-dried bamboo shoots, dried mushrooms, wild vegetables, etc.
Xia Ruixi expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart, and she was very grateful that many people could come to congratulate Da'er on the full moon in this barren mountain and wilderness.
Aunt Wu looked enviously at Da'er in Xia Ruixi's arms and said: "So beautiful, white and fat, and loves to laugh, the full-moon child is about the same as our little calf when he was two months old, in the end, he eats well, and he raises well in the womb, but it is different." ”
Xia Ruixi couldn't find anything to say for a while, so Liang'er laughed: "Auntie praises our brother"
Aunt Zhu was embarrassed: "Mother, what are you talking about?" It's a joke. ”
Aunt Wu laughed heartily: "What do I say, I can say whatever I want, the Ou family lady doesn't care, right?" ”
Xia Ruixi smiled and handed Da'er to Aunt Wu: "Let us Da'er get touched by the blessings of the Wu family's grandmother and not get sick." ”
Xia Ruixi heard Wang Zhou's say that Aunt Wu is a capable person in this area, her hunting skills are even more powerful than Uncle Wu's, and she can be in charge. Since marrying into the Wu family, he has worked hard to keep the family, no matter how difficult his life is, whether he eats vegetable dumplings or wraps grain stubble, he has never let his family go hungry; After a few years of hard work, he also managed to rebuild the Wu family's two dilapidated sheds built against the cliffs into three well-behaved grass houses.
In addition, both children and grandchildren are also available, and the family is not sick or disaster-free, everyone says that Aunt Wu is blessed and has good characters. There is a custom in Xijing that children are not hugged by people who are not blessed, for fear of living a bad life, but if they are recognized as blessed people, they want to be blessed.
Even if Xia Ruixi doesn't believe in these, but as a mother's heart, she always hopes that her child will be good, whether he has him or not, she is willing to do a little, not to mention that it can increase the feelings between neighbors.
Sure enough, Aunt Wu was so happy that she took Da'er to hug her, and really said a lot of auspicious words, and said that Da'er looked good, and she was a good look, and she would be blessed with endless blessings in the future. Xia Ruixi couldn't close his mouth when he heard it.
Lin Qingmei also sat on the side and listened to a few people, she gave Da'er a belly pocket she made herself, seeing that everyone else was hugging Da'er, she also wanted to reach out and take Da'er to hug her, Liang'er quietly grabbed Da'er before her and intercepted Da'er: "Ah, it's time to change diapers." ”
Lin Qingmei's face changed slightly, and in the blink of an eye, she hid her displeasure, helped serve tea and poured water, and when she talked to Aunt Wu and Zhu, she was also soft-spoken, and she was gentle and virtuous. She looks good, her figure is also slim, and she is carefully dressed, and she has a special charm in her gestures, which is indeed compared to Xia Ruixi, who has just come out of confinement, is still a little fat, and her clothes do not fit - what Liang'er hates the most is that she doesn't know how to count.
Ou Qingjin came in and said, "The meal is ready, Uncle Wu wants to see Da'er, I'll take it out and show them first." "His robe was covered with gray handprints of little yellow.
Before Xia Ruixi could speak, Lin Qingmei smiled and said affectionately: "Fourth brother, you see that your robe is full of gray handprints of small yellow, and you don't pat it, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the guests?" ”
Ou Qingjin smiled faintly, didn't say anything, and looked at Xia Ruixi. Xia Ruixi smiled slightly, pulled him to the side, took a handkerchief and squatted down to wipe the ashes on his robe, and by the way, patted the ashes on his shoes, straightened his collar, and said softly: "I prepared honey water for you, remember to drink some first when you drink." ”
Ou Qingjin nodded, seeing that the silver hairpin on Xia Ruixi's head was a little crooked, he wanted to straighten her, but he was afraid of being laughed at by others, so he said softly: "The hairpin is crooked." ”
Xia Ruixi helped the hairpin, looked at him and smiled sweetly: "Is it okay?" ”
Ou Qingjin smiled and nodded, took Da'er from Liang'er's hand, said hello to Aunt Wu and Zhu's and went out.
Here, Lin Qingmei diligently refilled the water for Aunt Wu and Zhu, Zhu was a little shy, and couldn't find anything to say to her after thanking her. On the contrary, Aunt Wu looked at her carefully and asked, "But Miss Ou?" ”
Lin Qingmei was stunned, Xia Ruixi had already walked over and said with a smile: "No, this is Miss Lin, it is Mr. Qingjin's former miss." ”
Aunt Wu saw that Lin Qingmei was dressed more than everyone in this room, and she didn't do anything, and she saw that she was talking to Ou Qingjin in an intimate tone, thinking that she was afraid that she was a concubine, but then she didn't look like it, so she took it for granted that she was a girl from the Ou family.
Who knew that Xia Ruixi denied it and said that it was Mr.'s miss. Aunt Wu secretly guessed that she was not a girl from the Ou family, she was the daughter of Mr., and her identity was not up or down, so why she was so cautious of Ou Qing? Such a guest is too frivolous.
The people in the mountains are simple, they can't get used to it and won't pretend, Aunt Wu said "oh" and stopped talking to Lin Qingmei. It was Lin Qingmei who accosted her several times, but she was faintly perfunctory, which caused Lin Qingmei's heart to be on fire, and she felt that Xia Ruixi and Aunt Wu must have said something bad about herself.
Halfway through dinner, Wu Xiaoer came, and when he entered the door, he said: "Dad, mother, my eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law's family are here, and they say that there is a fight in Xijing City." ”
