"I think your West Courtyard Cuilan is good, you are sensible and diligent. However, after all, there is not much contact on weekdays, so naturally I am not familiar with my sister-in-law, if my sister-in-law has a better candidate, let's talk about it? ”

"No, no," Zhang's sister-in-law is very happy, she usually loses her temper with Cuilan, she goes to the shop to help, naturally willing, in fact, she is not selfish, she wants her mother's sister-in-law, or her mother-in-law's sister-in-law to take over this work, but her mother-in-law is in Xiaopingshan, it is too hard to go back and forth to the dock every day, and the two concubines are too lazy, and their mouths are not strict, but they are afraid of causing trouble to the Zhao family, so it is better to choose Cuilan is the most suitable.

The two talked a few more gossips, and Zhang's sister-in-law went to the kitchen to help cook, japonica rice porridge, fried green onions, fried eggs and vinegared shredded potatoes, plus the meat buns taken back from the shop, Ruixue finally ate a meal with a normal taste, took the medicine and fell asleep, and got up early the next morning, feeling that her body was much better, and she walked around the yard with her support on the kang, and sat in the kitchen to instruct Zhao Fengnian and Wu Yu to cook porridge and stir-fry vegetables.

In the evening, Cuilan, who was busy at the dock for a day, felt that this errand was competent, so she followed Zhang's sister-in-law to thank her and recognize the master's family, although it was common on weekdays, but she insisted on changing the title to the boss lady, kneeling and kowtowing, Ruixue was helpless, helped her up, comforted a few words, and set the salary at 800 Wen, and asked Zhang's sister-in-law to send her back.

So two or three days later, Rui Xue completely recovered, about to take a bath, change clean clothes, Zhao Fengnian was afraid that she would blow the wind again and cause the wind and cold to recur, but he couldn't stop it, so he had to take a big cloth towel and wait at the door of the east house, as soon as he saw her come out, he immediately covered her head, pulled her on the kang, and wiped it very seriously, Rui Xue was funny and sweet, let him toss.

When his hair was dry, he put on a simple snail sideburns and inserted it with a silver hairpin carved with magnolia flowers.

Zhao Fengnian sat on the side, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes slipped over from time to time, causing Rui Xue to blush, and said, "I'm going to go to the Yun family to have a look, if you are willing to move around, go with me." This time, Lei Zi's daughter-in-law was born early, and it was also because the second uncle did not agree to help Yun Qiang steal the tofu recipe, so there was such a thing, and in the end it was still a little related to our family, so I should go to visit. ”

Zhao Fengnian nodded with a smile, "Lei Zi and Shanzi are not here, and the family has two less wages, so it is better to pay them some silver money first." ”

"Of course it's good, I think the same way, my shopkeeper is really getting more and more humane." Rui Xue was happy that Zhao Fengnian's cold appearance compared to before, there was a great change, so she teased, Zhao Fengnian's face was immediately red, and she loved the word "my family" in her mouth very much, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, "Wait for me to change my clothes and go with you." ”

"Okay," Ruixue put on her shoes to pick up the gifts, and threw down a sentence, "Mr. looks best in that royal blue." Then he giggled and went out the door.

Zhao Fengnian opened the suitcase, his fingers swept over the stone blue, duck egg green, silver gray, in the end turned out the royal blue one, put it on his body, secretly took a photo in front of the bronze mirror, and changed the scarf above his head to the same color, he felt that he was indeed more handsome, and a sentence flashed in his heart for no reason, "Women are proud of those who please themselves", and when he studied it carefully, he was also the same as a woman, but he could make his beloved woman happy, what is this?

Rui Xue packed twenty eggs, a piece of meat, a three-foot-wide flower cloth, and a box of snacks, thought about it and put the bone broth that she had boiled during the day, filled a clay pot, and a big bamboo basket was full, and when Zhao Fengnian came out, the couple told Wu Yu to take good care of the house, and then walked to the west of the village side by side.

Busy on weekdays, it is rare for the couple to go out together like this, at this time it is spring in March, the branches of the young leaves have emerged, the grass beside the road has grown a little high, everywhere is full of life, occasionally the evening wind blows the singing of birds in the distance, listening to the ears is even more pleasant.

Zhao Fengnian was carrying the basket, turning his head from time to time to look at Ruixue who was holding the clay pot, seeing that there was a faint smile between her eyebrows, and secretly thinking to himself that he would definitely take her out for a walk in the future.

Lu met the villagers, nodded and said hello, but the tea kung fu, the two arrived in front of the Yun family, Aunt Yun came out to pour water, saw the winner's house come to the door, hurriedly stepped forward to take Rui Xue's hand, and asked one after another, "Oh, Zhao Niangzi, why are you here, the wind and cold are so sharp, I didn't see your face that day, but I remember it to death." ”

"The second aunt is worried, if I don't want to be good, I won't dare to come to the door."

"Mrs. Zhao is just careful, and she thinks a lot for us."

Second Aunt Yun gratefully let them out of the courtyard, and shouted loudly, "Old man, come out quickly, Mr. Zhao is here." ”

Second Uncle Yun came out of the house in response, smiling with wrinkles on his face, and welcomed Zhao Fengnian and his wife into the hall to serve tea.

Rui Xue handed the clay pot in her hand to Aunt Yun, "This is the bone broth boiled at noon at home, if Osmanthus hasn't eaten, use this to cook some noodles for her to eat." After speaking, he pointed to the bamboo basket again, "There are also some things to eat in the basket, don't dislike it, second aunt." ”

Second Aunt Yun was overjoyed and excused herself, "Our family has received a lot of great kindness from you and Mr., how can we still ask for these foods?" ”

Rui Xue pretended to be annoyed, "Second aunt dislikes the soup I boiled is not good?" Besides, I sent these foods to osmanthus and dog eggs, so don't push it off from the second aunt. ”

Second Aunt Yun hurriedly smiled, "Don't say more, this is a hundred miles away, but there is nothing more delicious than you cooking, auntie, if I dislike it, I will be drowned by the villagers spitting on Xingzi." It just so happened that Osmanthus really hadn't eaten dinner, so I gave her Zhang Luo. ”

Rui Xue was just about to say that she would go to help together, when she heard someone in the yard talking, "I hurried and hurried, but I still didn't make it to the door with my sister." ”

Everyone looked up and saw that in front of them was Sister-in-law Zhang supporting Sister-in-law Qian, followed by Zhang Dahe carrying two baskets, and Aunt Yun hurriedly invited them into the house to sit down.

Sister-in-law Qian's stomach is also seven months old, and after walking so far, she is so tired that beads of sweat oozed from her head, Rui Xue took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her, and she smiled gratefully.

Sister-in-law Zhang said, "This girl of the Qian family, not to mention pulling black charcoal along, actually carried a basket and walked halfway by herself, if it wasn't for the two of us meeting, she didn't know when she would go." ”

Sister-in-law Qian gasped for a while, much better, and said with a smile, "The child's father is cooking at home, I come out for a walk when I have nothing to do, how do I know that it is so useless now, I am so tired that I want to sit after walking a few steps." After speaking, he pointed to the slightly smaller bamboo basket and said, "Auntie, these are twenty eggs, don't dislike it, make up for the osmanthus flower." ”

Second Aunt Yun hurriedly excused herself, "You are also pregnant, what are you doing with eggs, eat a few more supplements yourself." ”

Sister-in-law Qian smiled slightly, "There is still something at home, thanks to the blessing of Mrs. Zhao and Mr., the child's father has a monthly salary, and the money is much more generous, and the eggs are eaten every day, so don't shirk it." ”

"That's it, that's it." Sister-in-law Zhang echoed, "She will give birth in two months, and then my aunt will give her some more." She doesn't have a mother-in-law, and she won't have to take care of her aunt when the time comes. ”

Second Aunt Yun immediately said, "Okay, I'll help serve the confinement when the time comes." ”

Everyone laughed, Second Uncle Yun beckoned Zhang Dahe and Zhao Fengnian to drink tea, several women went out of the hall, Sister-in-law Zhang and Aunt Yun went to the stove to make noodles, Rui Xue helped Sister-in-law Qian to go to the West Wing to see Lei Zi's daughter-in-law, originally she was worried about what to dodge, but seeing that Aunt Yun didn't mean to stop her, she was relieved.

I opened the door of the west wing, passed through the small hall, and opened the door of the south room, and saw Lei Zi's daughter-in-law wrapped in a cloth towel on her head, lying on the kang, although her face was still a little pale, but it was much better than the day of delivery.

Lei Zi's daughter-in-law heard the movement, turned her head to look over, her eyes immediately lit up, and she was about to get up after struggling, Rui Xue hurriedly stepped forward to help her lean on the kang, and then turned around and helped Sister-in-law Qian to sit down, and then smiled, "What?" But lying on the kang every day, lying tired, when someone comes to visit you, you rejoice like this? ”

Lei Zi's daughter-in-law blushed, and said softly, "My life and that of the dog were saved by Mrs. Zhao, I was too tired to sleep that night, and I always regretted not kowtowing to Mrs. Zhao..."

"Kowtow, it's all my own family, I should do a favor, and besides, I only talked to you, and I didn't interfere in the delivery, so don't be polite anymore." My shopkeeper is one year older than Leizi, and in the future, you can call me sister-in-law, or the proprietress can do it, don't call me a lady, it's too raw. ”

Lei Zi's daughter-in-law nodded violently, "My name is sister-in-law, listen to the kiss, when Lei Zi comes back, I must tell him about my sister-in-law's kindness." ”

"Okay, I can't persuade you, just say what you want. Lei Zi is running around for my Zhao family's business outside, and I should keep his wife and children for him. ”

Sister-in-law Qian also took Leizi's daughter-in-law's hand and said with a smile, "The boss lady is not the one who likes to be polite, let's put our gratitude in our hearts and tell the child's father to work hard." After speaking, he pointed to the swaddling clothes next to him and said, "After talking for a long time, let's take a look at the big fat boy." ”

Lei Zi's daughter-in-law leaned over and picked up her son, hesitated for a moment, and handed it to Sister-in-law Qian's arms, Sister-in-law Qian stretched out her fingers to tease the child's little face, and praised, "This child is white and fat, it's really painful." ”

Rui Xue stepped forward and quipped, "Give me a hug, look at her mother, for fear that a raw hand will hurt her son, she won't give me a hug." ”

Leizi's daughter-in-law hurriedly waved her hand and explained, "This child eats a lot and urinates a lot, I'm afraid that he will stain the boss's clothes again." ”

Rui Xue carefully took the swaddling clothes and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, they all say that the boy's urine can cure the disease, what are you afraid of when you urinate, just go home and wash it." ”

Saying that, she carefully looked at the child's face, the baby who was born only a few days ago, the eyebrows and eyes have not yet grown, but she can vaguely see that the facial features of the same Lei Zi are very similar, presumably he is also a handsome young man when he grows up, but compared to those children who were born white and cute in the previous life, he still looks much darker and thinner, but Sister-in-law Qian just praised it, and it is not like a perfunctory politeness, are the children of the rest of the people thinner than this?
