Chapter 167: The Stepmother (1)
Aunt Yun is also reluctant, this month or more, but the heart has already been loved by their whole family, white fat and well-behaved, more pleasing than the iron egg, not extremely hungry, never crying, if you put her on the quilt, she will blink her big eyes and follow you, if you pick her up, she will giggle happily, how can anyone not like such a child.
"But the heart is a well-behaved one, and it is easy to serve, presumably Liu Qiniang will take care of it for a few days, and it will hurt as her own child."
These words, don't talk about Osmanthus, even Aunt Yun herself doesn't believe it, but unfortunately, if the father wants to take the child back, none of them can stop it.
Near noon, Qian Heitan came to the door, bowed slightly, his face was half guilty and half empty-hearted, Aunt Yun wanted to sarcastically mock him, but after thinking about it, Kexin returned to the Qian family, and what he could rely on was his father, which really annoyed him, and it was Kexin who suffered a loss, so he carefully explained two sentences, and let him hug Kexin, and then personally carried the package and followed behind.
Liu Qiniang was waiting at home, listening to the movement, and greeted the door with a coquettish smile, but seeing that Aunt Yun had nothing else in her hand except for two packages, her face was a little bad.
Entering the house, Aunt Yun touched a handful of kang, and said coldly, "Girls can't get cold when they are young, otherwise they will grow up and fall ill, so burn the kang first." ”
Liu Qiniang listened to it in her ears, but she didn't mean to move the place at all, Aunt Yun's face was not good, and just about to speak, Qian Heitan had already put the child on the kang and said, "I'll go, I'll go, there is firewood at home, but just light a fire." ”
Aunt Yun was afraid that it would be cold to the child, so she opened the package and took out a slightly thicker cushion to put it under Kexin's body, and Liu Qiniang went to the side of the kang to rummage through the package, which were all children's clothes, except for cotton cloth, which was white silk, and there were very few brocades, not to mention silver bracelets and collars, so she pouted and said, "The child's godmother didn't send anything good, not even a blessing brocade quilt." ”
Aunt Yun endured and endured, because she had the meaning of blaming Rui Xue for being stingy, but she couldn't help it, so she said, "How old is Qi Niang this year, she is not over thirty years old, why is she forgetful, this child's mother is only two months old, and she is still hot and filial, how can she use the word blessing brocade?" ”
Liu Qiniang was choked, and the temper that she was used to when she was at home came up, "What my aunt said, if her mother is still here, I can't get married, I will be her mother in the future, I hope she dresses better, that's right, right?" ”
Aunt Yun was about to speak, Liu Qiniang pointed to two more packages, "Didn't you say that her godmother always sent food to her, why just these two packages, didn't the others come, or..."
These words are clearly accusing Aunt Yun of leaving good things, the old lady was so angry that she almost blew up her lungs, and her fingers trembled, "This child eats my daughter-in-law's milk @ water, and the food sent by the proprietress is for my daughter-in-law to replenish her body." You haven't given birth yet, you can't feed your child no matter how you eat, what more good food do you need! ”
"You, you..." Liu Qi Niang's face turned red, and she had to refute, Qian Heitan had already heard the movement and entered the house, and hurriedly apologized to Aunt Yun, "Second aunt, Qi Niang has a straight temper and doesn't know how to turn when she speaks, don't be like her." Is there still work at the second aunt's house, I'll send the second aunt back first? ”
"Okay, you're a twitch, Qian Heitan, I won't beat around the bush, I'll tell you, but the heart is so big that I have served so much, not to mention anything else, I love her like a granddaughter, the boss lady, Da Zhuang Niang and Cui Niang, are generally sorry for her, if she has a good thing, or who doesn't take care of her sincerely, don't blame us for being polite." Aunt Yun was half angry, turned around and walked out, and Qian Heitan hurriedly sent it out.
Aunt Yun thought of the lovely food, so she said, "Your second uncle took the goat out to graze, and he will bring it to you in a while, remember that the goat's milk must be steamed, and then given to the child to drink." ”
"Yes, yes, I remember the second aunt." Qian Heitan responded and sent Aunt Yun to the gate, Aunt Yun reluctantly looked back into the house and then reluctantly left.
Liu Qiniang was also very angry with Aunt Yun'er, and was about to go through another package, when she turned her head and saw Ke Xin looking at her with a pair of big eyes, giggling twice from time to time, as if she was also laughing at her like Aunt Yun. She was angry for a moment, and reached out and pinched her belly.
The weather was hot, Kexin only wore a white silk small belly pocket, this time it was pinched very strong, under the pain, immediately wow wow and cried, the voice was poignant and tragic, instantly penetrated the window paper, and passed into the ears of Aunt Yun who walked out of the courtyard gate, the old lady trembled in distress, the tears came down, turned her head and walked back a few steps, and I don't know if she went in to fight with that Liu Qiniang, or go home with Kexin, think about it and think about it, and run to Zhao's house.
Qian Heitan was also startled when he heard the child's crying, for fear of recruiting Aunt Yun back again, so he waited anxiously for a long time before he was relieved to enter the house.
Ke Xin cried so much that he was kicking his feet, his little face was flushed, and tears flowed down his face into his ears, not to mention how pitiful it was, and Liu Qiniang shook as if she hadn't heard it at all, and was looking through another package with great interest, which was covered with the full moon of the day, and some trinkets sent by several shopkeepers in the city, although they were not expensive, they could be sold for a few taels of silver together.
In the end, it was his daughter, Qian Heitan was a little reluctant, stepped forward and hugged Kexin, and coaxed him clumsily for a long time, but Kexin still cried, so he asked, "Wasn't this kid okay just now, why did he cry so much?" ”
Liu Qiniang threw a sentence indifferently, "She glared at me, so I pinched her." She said this, still fiddling with those little quilts and clothes in plain satin, and she didn't know what to think.
Qian Heitan opened his daughter's belly pocket, and when he saw that there was indeed a bruise on his stomach, he said angrily, "She is only two months old, how can she stare at you, you are too ruthless." ”
Liu Qiniang immediately threw away the things in her hand and glared at Qian Heitan, "You, are you scolding me again?" Ah, do you look at your daughter, think of your dead ghost wife, and dislike me for not being as good-looking as her? I'm not good for your daughter! You can find another stepmother for her. ”
As she said this, she sat down on the ground with a handkerchief, and began to wipe her tears, crying and scolding, "Ah, why is my life so bitter, I am an innocent girl who marries a poor ghost like you, I can't eat well, I don't dress well, and I have to be scolded by you every day, and I am kind enough to raise your daughter, and you still pick and choose..."
The daughter cried, the daughter-in-law also cried, Qian Heitan was so noisy that she had a headache, so she had to pull her daughter-in-law with one hand and coax and persuade, "It's me who is not good, the tone is heavy, the child is small, you can't be the same as her, you have to be a little patient, and when she grows up, she can help you do housework and be filial to you..."
After a long toss, Liu Qiniang finally collected her tears, but she was tired of crying, and she also rested, Qian Heitan sighed a long time, put her daughter on the mat, and said, "I have to go back to the workshop, there is still work to do, you cook and eat by yourself." After a while, Second Uncle Yun will send a goat, and you will steam some goat milk for the child. ”
Liu Qiniang was opening the box and pouring things into it, where could she hear what he said, and responded indiscriminately.
Zhao Fengnian came back from the East Garden, and as soon as he entered the corner gate, he saw Caiyue spinning around in the courtyard, twisting a handkerchief like a noodle with his small hand, he frowned and asked, "Why don't you serve Madame in the house?" ”
Caiyue turned her head and saw her husband coming back, she was overjoyed, and immediately ran over, "Sir, the slave is going to ask you to come back, but Madame won't let you." ”
"What's wrong with ma'am?" Zhao Fengnian's heart immediately lifted, Rui Xue has been pregnant for more than two months, and the strange doctor still hasn't found it, although the husband and wife don't say it, they live happily every day, but they are dead in their hearts and then suppress that fear, if they can't remove the cold poison before they are born, this child can't be wanted, rather than let him be born and suffer and die early, it is better not to give birth.
Caiyue hurriedly shook her head, "The little young master in Madame's stomach is fine, but Madame's face is not good." ”
"Bad face? Who Madame? ”
"The slave maid didn't know that the second grandmother of the Yun family came, and her eyes were red when she left, and then the lady had a bad face."
Zhao Fengnian faintly guessed some reasons, sighed in his heart, entered the door and sent Caiyun out, and said with a smile when he walked to the edge of the kang, "Snow, the sunset outside is just right, I'll help you go out for a walk." ”
Rui Xue was leaning crookedly on the kang head, with a thick cushion behind her, her hands on her stomach, I didn't know what she was thinking, she woke up when she heard him speak, and said with a reluctant smile, "Class ends early today, what dishes do you want to eat at night, I'll do it." ”
Zhao Fengnian stepped forward and took her in his arms, "There are colorful clouds and moons, don't worry about eating, the scenery outside is just right, go out and relax." ”
Rui Xue smiled bitterly, wanted to say something, but in the end she endured it, "Okay, go to the Guilin Forest for a walk, it looks better than before in the past few days, I'm afraid I can survive." ”
The husband and wife talked, out of the yard, walking slowly in the laurel forest, it was a good time for the sunset, the orange-red glow was sprinkled on the laurel tree, with the shaking of the leaves, it was cut into countless broken pieces of light, sprinkled down little by little, there was a kind of incomplete beauty.
Zhao Fengnian deliberately found some interesting words, such as the mistakes made by the children in the school when they endorsed the books, and the poems made by the Chinese people in the city that donkey lips are not the horse's mouth, and wanted to make Rui Xue laugh a few times.
The beloved is so carefully persuaded and cared for, Ruixue's heart knot slowly loosened, in the future, let's talk about it later, she has to learn to believe in this man's love for her, even if she is not there in the future, he will not be as unkind as Qian Heitan, and her children will not be like Kexin, besides, she has overturned in modern times, and she can be reborn in this time and space, a small production will definitely not kill her, she has to be strong, even stronger than when she woke up, when she was alone, now she is a mother!
