In the second year of junior high school, Song Haonian and Wang Xiaofu returned to their parents' house together.

Now Li Mingjiang can only walk on crutches, and it seems that he can't recover his previous state of walking like flying. Even the kung fu in his hands is not as good as before, and he can still weave baskets and bamboo plaques, but he can no longer weave fine flowers, nor can he sit for a long time.

Fortunately, the Zhu family is quite healthy, and with the green pine inside and out, the family does not look decadent, and it is quite festive.

As soon as the daughter-in-law entered the door, they put down the New Year's goods, chopping firewood, carrying water, cooking, and cooking, without being greeted, they were all busy.

Qing Song was so anxious that he shouted: "Don't be busy with work first, sit for a while and eat something." ”

Wang Xiaofu said with a smile: "Don't be busy, the new son-in-law will come to the door, and I will beg for your food after this while." ”

Young people are quick to do things, the old people can't compare, and they are more experienced than Qingsong, they are busy for a while, and the home is really neat and tidy, and they look more energetic.

Qing Song hurriedly beckoned everyone into the hall, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "I brought back good things from the city, and I hid them for many days without anyone seeing them, so I'll give you a taste of them today." ”

Saying that, he took a strange and beautiful porcelain ** from his house, with a round belly and a small mouth, and a few red and bright roses were painted on the sweet white fetus, ** The mouth was tightly sealed.

As soon as Qingsong opened the mouth, a sweet fragrance overflowed, and everyone couldn't help but move their noses and gasp, praising it: "It's so fragrant!"

Qingsong was so proud that he went to the kitchen to find a few small bowls, poured a shallow layer of the light red liquid in the porcelain ** into a bowl, melted it with warm water, pushed it to everyone and said: "This thing is called rose dew, taste it quickly." "The rose dew smelled richly, full of strong floral fragrance, and after staying in the house for a while, I only felt that the whole person was fragrant, and my breath was full of flowers. In the mouth, it is slightly sour and refreshing, in fact, it is not suitable for winter to eat, and when it is too dry in summer, it is rushed to a lamp, and it is poured in the well.

It's definitely better.

This is a precious object, everyone has never seen it before, and they all bow their heads and savor it. Zhu said proudly: "My son is filial, I know what good things to taste for us first, and I haven't forgotten you." ”

Qingsong said: "Mother, my sister hasn't forgotten you, you don't say a word." ”

Lamei was busy drinking rose dew at this time, and she didn't care about talking to Zhu, so she avoided another quarrel.

Lily drank half a bowl and gently pulled Song Haonian: "You can drink the rest of my bowl." ”

Song Haonian said: "This sweet and sour is suitable for your woman's family." ”

"You think I've drunk?"

"Don't dare. ”

Song Haonian didn't dislike his daughter-in-law at all, so he picked up the bowl and drank it up.

Qing Song said with a smile: "Sister Yueniang gave it, saying that those ladies in the capital love to drink, and some exquisite sons and brothers also love this." ”

Lamei said: "People are the shopkeeper's daughter, why should they give you things twice in three days, don't be wrong." ”

"I'm a bookkeeper now," Qingsong said with a smile, "I forgot to tell you before, the shopkeeper said that I can read and write quickly and have a bright head, so he promoted me to learn to calculate accounts with the bookkeeper, and then I will be the bookkeeper in the store." ”

Zhu became more and more proud: "Our Qingsong is capable!" as if his son was already in charge of the money of the silk shop.

Wang Xiaofu smiled and said: "You have to be careful with the money, if there is a little problem, it will be terrible." As he spoke, he took another sip of rose dew, "Your shopkeeper's daughter, it's really nice to treat you." ”

Qingsong also nodded and said, "Sister Yueniang treats me so well, like a brother." This rose dew is also rare for her, she and Xue Niang are only two or three **, so give me one**. ”

Wang Xiaofu and Song Haonian glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: This stupid boy, you have so many sisters in your own family, why are people still rushing to treat you as a brother?

Lily asked, "Do you know how this thing is made?"

Qingsong scratched his head: "I heard people say that it is the juice steamed from roses, but I have seen roses, but I don't know how to steam them." ”

Seeing the rose dew today, the lily reminds me of some memories of the previous life, roses are a good thing, can distill essential oils, can soak flower dew, stain rose paste, dry can make rose tea, rose cakes, smelling good, beautiful and delicious, but also nourishing the body, the best for women.

She couldn't help but say to Song Haonian: "Let's plant some roses this year." ”

Song Haonian has always had no opinion on the lily, only stunned slightly, then nodded and said, "Then I'll go buy some rose seeds at the beginning of the year." ”

"This thing can't use seeds, there are flower seedlings, I think it's about the bitter water in the northwest where there is production, and then it's Pingyin, Shandong. These two places are far away, but I think that Yueniang can have rose dew to eat, and I am afraid that the provincial capital can buy flower seedlings. ”

She unconsciously said a lot of things that the peasant women in the countryside should not know, but fortunately, everyone was used to the new ideas that came up from time to time, but when she heard them from Aunt Sheng or others, she didn't care much.

Song Haonian saw that his daughter-in-law's eyes were straight, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he agreed one after another, or Lamei patted Lily on the shoulder: "You just want to plant roses, and it will be a few months later, and it will be the New Year at this time, you are back to your soul, it is important to eat well!"

Only then did Lily come back to her senses, and when she saw Zhu's boiled pork leg meat coming up, she hurriedly went up to help divide the meat, and laughed with everyone.

Zhu said while eating meat: "Erniu, who has no conscience, will not come back for the New Year, and will not treat the master's house as her own?" Yingchun said to Lily before that she would not go home for the New Year. In the half month of the Chinese New Year, most of the helpers in Liufu have to go home, and they also have to celebrate the New Year, right? But the owners of Liufu are used to living a comfortable life, and those who can't celebrate the festival are not as good as usual, so they set a rule that they don't go home during the New Year

will be paid three times the monthly money.

Yingchun was determined to be motivated and refused to waste time at home, so she greeted Lily early in the morning, and at this time Lily had to say good things for her: "She is not for the family, she wants to earn a few more money." ”

Zhu complained: "She can make money by beating Qingsong, but the money she brings back is getting less and less." ”

The girl always had to plan for herself, Lily and Lamei didn't feel that Yingchun was wrong, Qingsong also said: "Mother, the second sister should always save some money for herself, otherwise she will give it to you before she does all these years of errands, and she can't leave anything behind, isn't it too much of a loss?"

Zhu muttered something like "I am her mother, can I still lose her?" and so on, and several children and daughters-in-law could not hear it, and they all went to listen to Li Mingjiang talk about the ancients, saying that when he was young, he went outside and saw the scene of the imperial army marching.

Zhu can't afford to sing a play alone, even if she complains for a while, she is now excited about Qingsong's promotion, and she is more pleasing to the eye than before. Zhu Shi daydreamed for a while, suddenly remembered something, and said to Qingsong: "It's just that the shopkeeper treats you well, you pay attention to see if there is a suitable girl in his family, like that Yueniang, who is older than you, it is not very good." You are the only root of our old Li family, and you can't do it for others

Son-in-law, you can't marry a wife who is older than you. ”

Qingsong's face was red all of a sudden, Yueniang was innocent, although she was two years older than him, in fact, she really didn't look like a sister on weekdays, more like a sister. He called out as a one-month sister, and in his heart he only thought that his mother was younger than himself.

He is not yet at the age of enlightenment, and he is still ignorant in his heart, and even if his sisters and brothers-in-law see something, it is difficult to say it. I didn't want Zhu's to scream, so Qing Song jumped up like a cat that had stepped on its tail, and screamed: "Mother, what are you talking nonsense!"

Zhu was embarrassed by his son, and said with a smile: "My mother said good things to you, you have to take it to heart and think about it." ”

Qing Song was so ashamed that he just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and get into it, and he didn't sit or sit there, so he held back a sentence for a long time: "Mother, people are the shopkeeper's daughters, where do we match." Zhu looked at all the girls in the world, only what his son didn't want, and none of which her family Qingsong didn't deserve, and said sourly: "My son's appearance and character, which is not top-notch, where is not worthy? No matter how rich her family is, it is not the same as working for the owner? You will be the bookkeeper in the future.

What's not worth it?"

Qingsong is full of mouths and can't tell the truth that the girl in the capital and the country boy are not compatible, not to mention that he has always regarded Yueniang as his sister, and suddenly someone proposed the possibility of marriage, he was so frightened that he was at a loss, where can he still care about reasoning?

Seeing that Qingsong was uncomfortable, Lily hurriedly relieved him: "Mother, I have something to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?" said Zhu, "you are still in a crepe, and you have learned to ask for advice." ”

"I have to ask you about this," Lily smiled embarrassedly, "We are living a good life now, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to afford to raise a child, so I want to ask you how to be old, how can it be easy to sit on the fetus?"

Zhu gave birth to three daughters and one son, and there is no doubt about fertility.

In fact, Lily has already poured a belly of pregnancy into the mothers and sisters-in-law of the Song family, and when it comes to messy theories, I'm afraid that no one knows more than her, but in order to relieve Qingsong, she can only take out this stubble to talk about things.

Zhu's eyes rolled up and down on Lily, "Your mother-in-law said you?"

Lily nodded: "I didn't say much, I just urged me to give birth to one quickly." ”

Before giving birth to Qingsong, Zhu jumped out one after another, never liked to tell people about parenting, since she gave birth to Qingsong, she raised her eyebrows, and said that the experience of giving birth to a son was seen by Lily when she was a child, and she vaguely remembered.

Later, the Zhu family is getting older and older, and no one asks her how to have a son, until now, seeing that she is going to be a grandmother, Lily asks for advice, and Zhu finally has a place to use again, and her eyebrows are about to pull Lily to open and say.

Lamei quickly pulled the two of them into the bedroom: "Go into the house and say, in front of those people, does my sister still want to save face?" Zhu said: "It's a good thing to have a son, it's not a shame." "In the end, I pulled the lily and said the birth scripture for an hour or two, thinking that I had passed on all the experience to the eldest daughter, and I was worthy of her in this life.
