Chapter 3 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
Xia Ruixu entered the room, without any grievances, smiling, polite, and thoughtful, took out a few dishes she had carefully made and put them on the table, and invited her in-laws to eat.
Master Ou Er pointed to the bowl of porridge made of walnut kernels, japonica rice, and rock sugar and asked, "What kind of porridge is this?" ”
Xia Ruixu said with a smile: "Moisturizing the lungs and nourishing the kidneys, walnut kernels into the porridge can nourish qi and blood, moisten dryness and phlegm, warm the lungs and relieve asthma, moisten the intestines, and are most suitable for the elderly." ”
The second master Ou tasted it, it was his favorite sweetness, first he thought it was delicious, and when he heard that it had these effects, he smiled and said, "You bothered." ”
Xia Ruixu scooped half a bowl of stewed hen soup with white seeds and handed it to Mrs. Ou Er: "Mother, you try this, it's best to calm your breath." ”
Second Mrs. Ou usually has some wheezing and coughing, and when she heard this, she glanced at Xia Ruixi: "You are a good person." ”
To be honest, the taste of Xia Ruixi's cooking is just average, and naturally it can't be compared with those chefs at home, but it is valuable in sincerity. So the second elder of the Ou family also remembered her love, and the second lady Ou pointed to another bowl of wolfberry stewed crucian carp: "This is also nourishing, right?" ”
Xia Ruixu replied softly: "Yes." ”
Second Master Ou smiled: "This is for Qing Jin again?" You've made the most of your homeschooling. ”
Xia Ruixuan smiled and didn't speak, which was tantamount to acquiescence. Only then did Mrs. Ou say, "Where did he go?" Why haven't you seen him at this time? ”
Xia Ruixu simply admitted her mistake: "Dad, mother, daughter-in-law is at fault." ”
Mrs. Ou pretended to be surprised: "What's wrong with you." ”
Xia Ruixi told yesterday's events, and finally said: "When my daughter-in-law heard Bijin talk about this later, it was too late, and she wanted to report it to her mother, but she was afraid of disturbing her mother." That's why she didn't come, it's all my daughter-in-law's fault. ”
Second Lady Ou smiled faintly: "It's not a big deal." Now that he has become a family and a family, I will no longer care about him as I did before. It's just that he doesn't like to talk, how can he leave you to drink with his fox friends and dogs? As he spoke, he looked at Xia Ruixi's expression.
Xia Ruixu said with a straight face: "If you go back to your mother, it's no one else, it's Mu Gongzi." Although he was of ordinary origin, he was of good character, and he was a close friend of Qingjin, and he came all the way from so far to congratulate us, and he should have invited him to dinner, and did the friendship of the landlord. If it is really a fox friend and a dog friend, the daughter-in-law must persuade Qing Jin and stop him from going. ”
"Aren't you afraid that he will be angry? Don't they listen to you? ”
Xia Ruixu smiled shyly: "He knows that I am for his good, and he is only angry for a while, if he doesn't listen, won't he still have a father and a mother." "Whether it is a reasonable or unreasonable in-laws, what they like is a daughter-in-law who usually obeys their son, feels sorry for their son, can persuade their son at critical moments, and provides their in-laws with high aloft in everything.
A smile flashed in Mrs. Ou's eyes, and she said, "In this way, that girl from Bijin is a little dishonest and unright-minded. I originally thought that she had a good character, and she had been serving Qingjin since she was a child, and it was not easy to match any other kid, and it would be good to let her be a helper for you in a few years. ”
Xia Ruixu couldn't understand what this helper meant, what kind of helper, isn't it just a concubine and a room? She was anxious and angry in her heart, like a cat's claw, but she still maintained a proper smile on her face, and quietly listened to Mrs. Ou Er. Tell your in-laws that you don't allow your husband to marry a concubine, and arguing for a long time will only be counterproductive, and you have to talk to the person who really works.
Second Master Ou interrupted Second Mrs. Ou's words: "Early in the morning, they have just been married for three or four days, what do you say you have to do with these?" We'll talk about it then! Since he was not honest and his mind was not right, he sent it out, is there only one blue mark? ”
Second Lady Ou said slowly: "I mean, I am too soft-hearted. She just wanted to test whether Xia Ruixu had a tolerant stomach.
Xia Ruixu didn't know what she wanted to say or what her purpose was, but she wouldn't run away from hoping that her son would marry more wives, have more children, and spread out. She made up her mind, and still responded to all changes with the same attitude, and said with a grueled smile: "My daughter-in-law was very angry before, but I think that she has served Qingjin for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work. Let's wait for Qing Jin to come back, I think, if I take the liberty to deal with it, I'm afraid he will have some ideas. ”
Second Lady Ou nodded: "I see." You're thoughtful, but you have to be ruthless when it's time to do it. That's it for now, and if there's anything else, you can tell me. ”
Xia Ruixu smiled like a flower, and thanked Mrs. Ou: "My mother loves her daughter-in-law so much, and her daughter-in-law will be at peace in her heart." ”
Second Mrs. Ou smiled: "What? Hearing this, was your heart unstable before? ”
Xia Ruixu smiled slightly: "My daughter-in-law is dull, she is always worried that she will not do things well, and she will not be liked by her in-laws and husbands. Now I see that my in-laws are all magnanimous and considerate of their children, and my heart is naturally stable. ”
Mrs. Ou laughed: "You have this mouth." ”
After the second master Ou finished eating, he didn't see Ou Qingjin's shadow, so he said angrily: "Hasn't this evil obstacle come back yet?" When has this been? It's so unusual, if he doesn't come again, I'll break his legs. ”
He said it energetically, but Xia Ruixu knew that he was just talking energetically, the old man, the old man, isn't it just the old baby pimple, I'm afraid it is more precious than the tip of the heart and liver. As he was talking, Purple Satin opened the curtain: "The fourth young master is here." ”
Ou Qingjin smiled flatteringly, and his clothes had not been changed, so he went in to greet the second elder, and consciously touched the table to eat. At a glance, he saw the wolfberry stewed crucian carp, and said with a smile: "Who is so considerate of me, knowing that I have drunk too much wine, my spleen and stomach are uncomfortable, I don't want to eat, and I want to eat this light and nourishing soup?" As he spoke, a large bowl of fish soup had already been served.
Xia Rui Si gently added half a bowl of rice to him, and said softly: "Since you have drunk too much wine and your stomach is upset, no matter what, you should eat something." ”
Ou Qingjin made a mistake because she was drunk, and she was worried that she would show her face, but at this time, she saw that her expression was the same, gentle and considerate, so she ate boldly with confidence. The second elder of the Ou family said so loudly that he was actually reluctant to scold him at all, but persuaded him to eat this and drink that. Xia Ruixu sighed secretly, there are parents in the world who protect their shortcomings.
After Ou Qingjin finished eating, the second master Ou scolded: "Where did you go to fool around last night?" I knew that I was going to worship my ancestors and sweep the tomb to put a family tree on the family, but I just went home at this time, and the people who married their daughters-in-law still acted like this without a chapter genealogy. ”
Ou Qingjin replied with words in his mouth, his eyes squinted at Xia Ruixu, and stretched out his foot from under the table to hook her foot: "Where is the son who can fool around?" I went to see a friend, who was supposed to come back, but he was too drunk, and he drank too much before he knew it, but fortunately he came back in time. Xia Ruixi ignored his disguised explanation, kicked his calf hard, and sat still in a serious manner.
Mrs. Ou said: "We can control you for a while, but we can't control you for a lifetime." You are also a person who has married a daughter-in-law and started a family, what should you do, you should also have a number in your heart. It's rare that your daughter-in-law is generous and reasonable, so you should treat her well. ”
It is true that Ou Er and his wife usually love the old man, but it is also true that they are strict, if Ou Qingjin made a mistake, he would not fight, he would not scold, but he would be told the truth for a long time, and then he would be punished for kneeling in front of the ancestral tablet. This time he actually passed the test easily, and he also knew that it was to see Xia Ruixi's face, Xia Ruixu must have said good things for him, so he looked at Xia Ruixu and smiled: "My son can save it." ”
