8. The first day of the wedding
When I helped him put on all his boots, I pulled him to his feet, and when he picked up the plain blue robe, he consciously stretched out his hands.
After tying the belt for him, he was not in a hurry to comb his hair, first found his own washing and changing clothes from the dowry items, found a navy blue Luo skirt and put it on, then took out cloth shoes of the same color, and then put away yesterday's red embroidered shoes and wedding dress. When he turned around, he saw that Ah Ping still maintained the posture of stretching his hand for him before dressing, and couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly walked over to help him with one arm and said, "Let's go, go to the table and sit down, I'll help you comb your hair." ”
He didn't move, his head buried in his face to the bed, and I followed my gaze and saw a touch of blush falling under the open quilt. The mattress itself was also red, but in the middle there was a white glossy cloth, and at this time it was like a blooming plum blossom on it, and her cheeks were red with the speed of fire.
Awkwardly stepped forward to pull out the white cloth, and it was clumped together, just when I was entangled in where to rest, I suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, the steps were very regular, not fast or slow, and when I came to the door, I paused, and then Widow Liu's calm tone sounded: "Ah Ping, are you awake?" I saw that Ah Ping didn't have any intention of responding, and his eyes were still looking straight at the white cloth in my arms, so I had to respond: "Mother-in-law, we have already risen." ”
So, before I could go over and open the door, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Widow Liu was still dressed in the same dark gray clothes as she was last night, and her gaze swept over us and fell on my hand, "Give it to me." "I was thinking about it, I probably understood the meaning, she had come to check the results of last night's cave room and my innocence.
It was difficult for me not to walk over without shame, and when I handed the white cloth over, a piece of red was exposed, and Widow Liu took it with a silent float, and then her eyes sank: "Why didn't Ah Ping's hair be combed?" ”
I immediately responded, "I'm about to help him comb it." ”
She glanced at me again, and when she turned around, she said in a cold voice: "Let's cook quickly after taking care of it." ”
I was really stunned for a while before I came back to my senses, and I haven't adapted to the new identity of being a wife and daughter-in-law for a while, and I may have to bear the burden of farm work for a family from today on. In the village, there are two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, and there is no difference between breakfast and lunch.
Before today, my main duty was to take care of Xiaotong, and then help the family with housework, sometimes my father and mother came back late from the field, and I had to make a fire for dinner, so it was not difficult for me to cook. After quickly and quickly combing Ah Ping's hair, he pulled him up to take a look, feeling that today's plain blue robe suited him very well, compared to last night's red clothes, the skin is whiter.
I didn't know what Ah Ping's daily routine was, and my mother-in-law was waiting for me to cook, so I symbolically asked Ah Ping: "I'm going to cook, what about you?" He looked at me silently, silent.
Ben didn't intend to get an answer from him, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then you stay in the house, I'll call you when I've finished the meal." ”
I walked out of the house and looked left and right, the layout was different from my mother's house, and I found the stove room after looking around. After rummaging through the stove, I found that my husband's house is much better than my mother's house, except that there is a full rice in the rice tank, and a jar of white noodles, and it may be because there was a happy event yesterday, in addition to a basket of vegetables, there is a pound of pork and a fish on the stove.
Mari washed the pot and regenerated the fire, and when the pot was hot, he smeared some lard on it. This lard is also a rare thing I found, except for butchers or hunters, ordinary people rarely have a little meat all year round, let alone lard in roasted vegetables.
Thinking that today is the first day of the wedding, no matter how good my mother-in-law is, I still have to try to behave well at this first meal. So I made a plate of braised pork and a pot of fish head soup with the ingredients in the stove, and then fried a plate of green vegetables, one meat, one vegetarian and one soup, which should be able to be handled. Don't look at these three dishes, because I am all in charge of the dishes, and I need to run to the stove to add firewood while stir-frying, so it is very embarrassing to be unkempt after a meal.
I put away the rest of the fish body and tail, and planned that if they liked the fish soup I made, they could use the fish tail to make soup that night, and the fish would be chopped into pieces to make braised fish pieces.
