Chapter 24 The Virtuous Lu Ziqi
Chuncao heard the sound of the door closing, stood up, washed it, and prepared to put on his pants, only to notice a pile of rectangular cotton cloth on the side of the bed, put on the mattress pants with a bitter face, and found a slightly larger one to barely put on the mat first, and his nerd didn't seem to know whether to sew the strap.
"Are you alright?" Lu Ziqi's voice came from outside the door.
"Alright." As soon as Chuncao was dressed, Lu Ziqi pushed the door in, Chuncao blushed a little, lifted the quilt awkwardly, and was about to tear off the sheets, Lu Ziqi pulled Chuncao and asked her to sit on the stool in front of the desk, "You rest, I'll come!" ”
Tear off the sheets, and a bed of worn-out cotton wool underneath was also stained, Lu Ziqi dipped it with dirty sheets, found a slightly larger cotton cloth to pad, and then found a new bed sheet in the cabinet to marry Chuncao, and laid it out.
The quilts here are all used in the quilt and the back, and the elastic cotton wool is sewn into the middle with cotton thread, fortunately there is no quilt, otherwise it will be more troublesome to remove the quilt.
Chuncao's stomach was uncomfortable, her face was pale, and she sat on the stool weakly, seeing that Lu Ziqi was busy, she changed the sheets, put her dirty pants and dirty sheets into the basin, brought them out, and then fetched water to let Chuncao wash her hands with herself.
was pulled to the bed by Lu Ziqi to lie down, Chuncao still felt very uncomfortable, Lu Ziqi sat on the edge of Chuncao, looking at Chuncao like this, the first time he encountered this situation, he didn't know what to do.
"Go get me a glass of sugar water." Chuncao thinks that maybe it will be better to drink a glass of sugar water, but with this condition, it can only be like this.
After drinking the sugar water, Lu Ziqi went to bed and patted Chuncao's back, "Are you better?" Hurry up and go to sleep. "It's getting late.
Chuncao is uncomfortable and can't sleep, thinking of the menstrual belt has to be sewn on, there are no tight underwear here and only mattresses, before the menstrual affairs did not come and did not feel anything, now I find it really inconvenient. Thinking that I would have to use it tomorrow, I couldn't sleep anyway, so I sat up and asked Lu Ziqi, "Do you have any discarded cloth strips or anything like that at home?" ”
Lu Ziqi found a needlework dustpan, and there was a ball of wrapped cloth in it, which he sometimes used to sew and mend clothes, "What do you want this for?" "I didn't understand what Chuncao needed, so I had to ask Chuncao.
Chuncao was a little embarrassed, and said with a slightly red face, "That, the menstrual belt needs to be sewn on." Hearing about the menstrual belt, Lu Ziqi's embarrassed ears were slightly red, and he found all kinds of rectangular cotton cloth cut by himself under the kang table, and prepared to sew the cloth strips.
"Sew the cotton around first, sew the two together, and then sew the strap." Chuncao leaned on Lu Ziqi's arm and instructed Lu Ziqi what to do.
Lu Ziqi quickly threaded the needle, this speed and this technique, Chuncao simply admired the five-body throw, and said to Lu Ziqi with a look of admiration, "Nerd, you are so virtuous, I think you are still suitable for being my daughter-in-law." “
"What nonsense? Is it still uncomfortable?" Lu Ziqi replied helplessly, worried that Chuncao was still uncomfortable, put down the things in his hand, reached out to hug Chuncao tightly in his arms, covered Chuncao's stomach with one hand, and rubbed it gently.
Feeling the warm big hand on her stomach, Chuncao's face turned red, and she really felt a lot better, so she said "um" softly; Lu Ziqi let go of his hand, put the small dustpan and the menstrual belt under the kang table, blew out the oil lamp, and then pulled Chuncao to lie down and hold it in his arms, and continued to rub Chuncao's stomach.
The grievances of Chuncao just now have been thrown out of the clouds in the embarrassment and ambiguity just now. Lu Ziqi still remembered that Chuncao was hiding from him and wanted to open a workshop with his sister-in-law, so he opened his mouth. "Chuncao, do you have to be your father-in-law?"
"Of course!" And it's the husband he picked, Chuncao added a sentence in his heart, but is this going to settle accounts after the autumn?
"Since I'm your father-in-law, is there anything you can't tell me? Why do you want to keep the workshop a secret from me? My brother and sister-in-law know about it, but I don't know anything? Lu Ziqi asked Chuncao with a questioning tone.
"I, I'm just scared...... You're a scholar, and I'm afraid you won't let me go into business. In fact, Chuncao didn't want Lu Ziqi to be in business, so she didn't say it, and now she still hopes that Lu Ziqi will not participate, so she deliberately said so.
"When did I stop you from doing anything? I'm your father-in-law, and I'll let me know anything in the future. Chuncao said "um", Lu Ziqi tightened his arms, and said softly, "It's late, go to bed early." And he spoke no more.
Listening to Lu Ziqi's faint breathing, Chuncao breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes, and gradually fell asleep in Lu Ziqi's arms.
Because he tossed very late to sleep the night before, Chuncao woke up very late, and there was no temperature next to him, Lu Ziqi seemed to have been up for a long time, Chuncao got up cautiously, for fear of soiling the quilt again, looking at the neat menstrual belt under the kang table, he was very moved, Lu Ziqi had prepared these so early. The people here are poor, and the menstrual belts are washed with water and then continue to be used, Chuncao doesn't think that he can stand it, and thinks that he should prepare some more disposable ones.
The washed clothes, pants and quilts under the osmanthus tree fluttered with the morning breeze, and the smell of rice porridge came from the kitchen. Chuncao stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at Lu Ziqi's busy back in front of the stove, and hugged Lu Ziqi's waist tightly from behind.
How lucky she is to marry her husband, who is cold on the outside, but so considerate to him. I thought that God was too unfair and threw herself in such a place where birds don't, but now I find that she is so lucky, there is also a family who loves her here, and she relies on such a considerate husband, happiness is so simple.
Feeling the heat source rushing over from behind and hugging him, Lu Ziqi's body stiffened, grabbed Chuncao's hand, and turned to face Chuncao, "Are you better?" ”
"What?" Chuncao asked cutely, she was still a nymphomaniac, immersed in her own little happiness and didn't react.
"Is your stomach feeling better?" Lu Ziqi seemed to be used to his daughter-in-law's slow response, and continued to ask.
"Huh? Oh, it's better. Finally understood what to ask, and Chuncao answered.
"There's hot water in the basin over there, so hurry up and wash up and eat."
Chuncao obediently went to the side to wash, looked at the wicker next to the basin, and thought that she might try to make a toothbrush out of pig hair.
After breakfast, Lu Ziqi was about to bury the wine jar that had been sealed and the mud had almost dried into the dug pit, Chuncao was uncomfortable, so he moved a chair and sat at the door, watching Lu Ziqi busy.
Chuncao's menstrual affair dragged on for more than ten days, Lu Ziqi was not at ease, and wanted to take Chuncao to see the doctor, Chuncao felt a little embarrassed about this matter, so he didn't go anywhere. Lu Ziqi finally went to find the only Xu Langzhong in the village by himself, and gave Chuncao a pulse, saying that it was the sequelae left by drowning, qi deficiency and cold palace, and blood imbalance, so he had to take care of it, and prescribed a prescription, according to this recipe, he decocted a pair of medicines when he came to menstruation every month.
Xu Langzhong charged a consultation fee of 20 Wen, saying that the medicinal materials were more precious, and he was not in order, so he asked Lu Ziqi to go to the town to grab medicine. As soon as Lang Zhong left, Lu Ziqi greeted Chuncao and went to the town to grab medicine.
It was already afternoon when he went out, and not long after Lu Ziqi left, Zhuzi's daughter-in-law came to see Chuncao.
Chuncao was sitting lazily under the willow tree in a daze, and when she saw her sister-in-law coming, she pulled her sister-in-law into the house, "Sister-in-law, why are you here, come in and sit down." ”
"As soon as I saw my brother-in-law go to the village, I came to see you. The last time we left, my brother-in-law seemed to be angry, was it because of the workshop? Is my brother-in-law not allowed? I think your braised pork is really good, and it's a pity not to open a workshop. The pillar said a few days ago that he was going to come to his brother-in-law, but I didn't let me, because I was afraid that my brother-in-law was still angry with you, and your brother was a blind tendon, so I was afraid that the brother-in-law who provoked me would be even more angry, and you would be sad. As soon as the pillar daughter-in-law spoke, she crackled and asked a bunch of questions.
"It's okay, he's out of gas, I've been delayed because I've been unwell for a few days, so don't he go and get me medicine, don't worry about it." Chuncao was too lazy to do it because of the menstrual affair during this time, the bowls were washed by Lu Ziqi, and he also gave the workshop a thing, and now that my sister-in-law has come to urge, I really have to do this thing as soon as possible.
Thinking of the widow who was still in his mother's house, Lu Ziqi probably discussed a good way with his brother last time for a long time, but he took care of himself at home every day in the past few days, and he probably didn't do it, so he asked his sister-in-law, "What is that widow doing lately?" ”
"Isn't it just that Lai is eating and drinking in our house, and I want to hook up with your brother when I have the opportunity, so I have been watching your brother to death recently, so as not to fall for that's means. But these two days are very strange, I stay in the house and don't go out much, just when I can't see or be upset, the pillar told me not to worry, I will find a way to get her away. By the way, when I came, my mother asked me to tell you that she missed you, and asked you to go home to see her, and my mother watched the vixen at home every day, afraid that she would have something to do, and she didn't go out much. ”
"I'll go back to my mother tomorrow with the nerd. The matter of the workshop, I will discuss it with him when he comes back, and come over tomorrow to tell you the results with my brother. Chuncao thought, last time Lu Ziqi said that there were more than 100 taels of silver at home, and then he forgot to ask, and when Lu Ziqi came back, he would discuss with him as the capital to open a workshop.
"Okay, what's wrong with you being unwell? What does the doctor say? "The daughter-in-law of the pillar looked at Chuncao's mental state and was not bad, how could she be uncomfortable.
"It's not a big problem, it's just that the menstrual affairs are a little inaccurate." Chuncao thought that if she told her sister-in-law that it was because of the sequelae of drowning, it was estimated that her sister-in-law would be upset, so she said casually.
Hearing that it was an inaccurate menstrual affair and that it was not a serious illness, the pillar daughter-in-law relieved herself, "Then I'll go back first, and you pay attention to your body." ”
"Let's eat and go!" Spring grass to stay.
"No, you have a good rest, remember to go back tomorrow, I'll go first." After saying that, he turned around and walked outside the courtyard gate.
