Chapter 45: Mother!
Back home.
The old lady Cao Zhang happened to come back, holding a bamboo basket in her hand, which was filled with some things that were sewn and mended, which should have ended at the neighbor's house.
Don't look at the fact that the Cao family has only moved here for two months, but with Tang Miao's endorsement, plus the Cao family's life is good, Cao Zhang's family gets along with the neighbors easily, which is far better than the beginning in the courtyard.
The neighborhood is surrounded by many people.
"Hungry, aren't you?"
Cao Zhang smiled at his son, and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Okay."
"I'm not busy cooking."
"Mother, I'll press you when you enter the house."
Cao Xin's eyes rolled, and he pulled Cao Zhang into the house.
"Hey!"
When Cao Zhang heard this, he smiled happily.
Her son is filial, and of course she is happy.
But more importantly, her precious son's massage hand is really powerful, and it is very comfortable to press. This is not her boasting of being a mother, even Tang Miao, who opened a martial arts gym, Cao Ren and Cao Xian, who practiced martial arts, were full of praise.
It can be said that with this hand alone, Cao Xin will not worry about his livelihood in the future.
"Hey!"
"Can you keep the three-layer massage?"
Cao Xin smiled.
After half a year, Cao Xin's 'medical skills' have gone further, following the promotion of the 'typhoid fever department' to the third layer in the thirteen departments, and the first department of 'massage' has also been promoted to the third layer.
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" has a saying: "The meridians are blocked, the disease is born from unkindness, and the cure is massage." ”
The so-called 'massage' is the ancient name of 'massage'.
In the early years, the technique of 'massage' was limited, and there were only two kinds of "pressing" and "rubbing", so it was called "massage", which could only have the effect of health care and eliminating fatigue.
With the development of the times and the progress of medical technology.
The techniques of 'Tuina' have gradually become rich and diverse, such as the book "Jinjian of the Medical Sect", which lists touching, connecting, ending, lifting, pressing, rubbing, pushing, and taking as the eight methods of injury.
In the new dynasty, there are more than 30 kinds of massage techniques, and they can be used to treat diseases, such as low back pain, tenosynovitis, bursitis, cold, constipation, diarrhea, gastric prolapse, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, hemiplegia, high blood pressure, asthma and so on.
Three-tiered massage.
This is good medicine.
Cao Xin is already proficient in various massage techniques and can use them flexibly. Although it can't be done to get rid of the disease, it is often a long time to maintain health and strengthen the body, and it is not a problem.
"I'm comfortable!"
Cao Zhang lay on the bed, his brows furrowed.
Her life has not been smooth-
In his early years, his family was poor and he grew up stumbling.
At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he married a man from a neighboring village, and his husband's surname was Sun, and Cao Zhang's family was originally Sun Zhang's. Because he couldn't have children, he was treated harshly by his in-laws at that time.
There are many brothers in the mother's family, and the mother-in-law's family has to be more scruples.
More than ten years have passed like this.
The mother-in-law has a poisonous mouth, and the husband is cold.
Life is poor and depressing.
When he was thirty years old, his mother's family had an accident, and during the flood control, the four brothers of his mother's family pulled one by one to save one by one, and they were all swept away by the flood.
Since then, it has plummeted.
Cao Zhang's life in her mother-in-law's house also suddenly became difficult-
The mother-in-law was abusive at every turn, and the husband beat him from time to time.
I can't get by.
In the heat of the moment.
Cao Zhang's family ran back to his parents' house, relying on the support of several half-eldest nephews, and broke down with his husband's family.
But the thirty-year-old sister-in-law has been staying at her parents' house. Although several sisters-in-law and nephews do not dislike it, Cao Zhang's own is a strong one.
Happens.
At that time, Cao Kun of Caojia Village had a wife who had died in childbirth for two years and was living alone. There are five children, four sons and one daughter in the family, and there is no need to continue the lineage.
When Cao Zhang heard about it, he took the initiative to ask someone to give the matchmaker.
And when Cao Kun heard it-
Can't give birth?
That's good!
has five children in his own family, and his stepmother can't give birth, so he won't be treated the same as his own in the future?
Thereupon.
Sun Zhang's transformation became Cao Zhang's.
The two of them got together.
Then, within two months, Cao Zhang became pregnant. The following year, Cao Xin was born.
Cao Kun was shocked.
Cao Zhang was stupid.
At this time, I realized that it was the Sun family who could not be born, not the Cao Zhang family.
It turns out.
Cao Zhang's family is not only able to give birth, but also very good.
In the past few years, Cao Xin, Cao Wen, Cao Liang, Cao Shu, three sons and one daughter were born one after another, making the Cao family more and more prosperous, and the Sun family no longer had face.
Cao Kun is a busy person, although there are many members of the Cao family, life can still be lived.
Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived.
As soon as natural and man-made disasters came, for several years, the Cao family could not hold on, and the family could only flee the famine.
Three years.
Cao Zhang's family has experienced leaving his hometown, losing his son, losing his daughter, and losing his husband.
Repeated blows.
When he arrived in Xijing City, Cao Zhang, who was originally only thirty-nine years old, looked not as young as a fifty-year-old lady.
It's too many hard days.
Fortunately, now, the bitterness is sweet.
"If only your dad were still here."
Cao Zhang smiled and smiled, and couldn't help but think of her deceased husband.
There is a comparison to distinguish.
Compared with his predecessor's surname Sun, Cao Kun doesn't know how many miles better. Both husband and wife are married for the second time, although the countrymen are not fleshy, but they are also affectionate and loving, and there are few quarrels.
Cao Zhang's words are few.
Cao Kun spoke secretly.
The two complement each other, and they lived a beautiful life at the beginning.
Pity!
If Cao Kun could survive until now and see the children all coming out one by one, how good would it be?
"We're all fine, and Dad will be happy to see it in the sky."
"Don't worry about his old man, there is an old man below, if you want me to say, you are still more bitter, and you are alone above."
Cao Xin was skillful, and when he saw that the old lady was a little depressed, he gaged.
But that's right.
Cao Kun still has an original partner in front of him, and he also has a companion when he goes down.
"What nonsense!"
Cao Zhang was thinking about it, and was interrupted by Cao Xin, angry and laughing, and didn't know what to do for a while.
"Don't worry about the rest of the matter."
"If you have time, you should worry more about big brother."
Cao Xin pressed Cao Zhang's and asked tentatively, "What does my mother think of Sister Piaopiao?" ”
"Piaopiao?"
"This kid is very good, well-behaved and sensible."
Cao Zhang's impression of Tang Piaopiao was very good.
"What do you think of letting Sister Piaopiao be my sister-in-law?"
Cao Xin asked again.
"It's-"
When Cao Zhang heard this, he immediately got up and faced Cao Xin, and his face glowed: "Is it the meaning of Piaopiao, or the meaning of your Aunt Tang?" ”
"Uh-"
Cao Xin was stunned for a moment, and said with a sneer: "That's what I meant." ”
“……”
Cao Zhang's suddenly lost his spirit.
"Don't look down on me!"
"Why don't you go talk to Aunt Tang about this matter another day, and then ask Sister Piaopiao what she thinks of my brother, these two people are stuffy gourds, let's have more snacks." Especially you, my mother, you are a stepmother, and you don't want people to gossip, so you have to be more careful. ”
Cao Xin's heart was broken.
"The more you talk, the more bastard!"
Cao Zhang's hit Cao Xin.
Forthwith.
Followed by.
She frowned again: "I don't think Piaopiao has that meaning to your brother, and your brother, what does he think?" ”
said.
Without waiting for Cao Xin to reply, Cao Zhang said to himself: "Piaopiao is indeed sensible, and your brother is also very good." But it's just two stuffy gourds, can they live a good life in the future? ”
Both of them are bored, won't they talk in the future?
Speaking of which.
Cao Zhang's thought of Cao Kun again.
She and Cao Kun are two, that is, Cao Kun talks a lot and she talks little, but they get along just right.
But Cao Ren and Tang Piaopiao-
"I don't match!"
Cao Zhang's heart was stirred by Cao Xinyi.
Indeed, Cao Ren's February birthday, now that February has passed, he has reached the age of eighteen, and he has indeed reached the age of talking about marriage.
This cannot be delayed.
"Okay!"
"Leave this alone! How can a younger brother worry about his brother's marriage, he is not afraid of people's jokes when he says it! ”
Cao Zhang glared at Cao Xin and took the matter over.
"Okay."
Cao Xin is as good as a stream.
In fact, there was some hesitation.
Last year, because Yu Li, the eldest daughter-in-law of Yan's family, wanted to introduce her sister-in-law to her eldest brother, Cao Xin mentioned Tang Piaopiao in order to appease his eldest brother.
But after more than a year of contact and observation, these two people seem to be really incompatible.
Neither of them felt anything.
Like Tang Piaopiao, in fact, he should find a husband with a similar personality to Cao Xian, who can take her around and see different styles.
Don't look at Tang Piaopiao, who is virtuous and quiet on weekdays, and doesn't care about eating, drinking, and having fun.
She just didn't take the initiative.
But whenever Cao Xian looks for her, she will be together every time. I can't see it on the surface, but in fact, I'm afraid that my heart is tight.
This kind of personality is commonly known as 'sullen'.
I'm afraid the eldest brother can't grasp it.
"That's it!"
"Big brother has his own big brother's blessing, I, who is a younger brother, don't get too involved."
Cao Xin shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
