In the blink of an eye, Wang Xin has been living in Shiqiaoyi for two months.

Wang Xin bought a house here - three main houses, four side rooms on two sides, with a courtyard in the middle. Behind the main house, there is also a backyard. Behind the backyard is a wood. Although it is not as luxurious as the previous mansion. But a family of three lives here in a quiet and quiet place, and has a different mood.

The Yicheng of Ishiqiao Station is a fat middle-aged man. He is open-minded. He came to see Wang Xin every three or five days, and at first he was ordered to take care of Wang Xin, but after a long time, the two became friends.

Yicheng knew that Wang Xin was talented, so he found Wang Xin a spare job and copied documents in the post office. This errand is not reported, such as the master of the county, who is also found by the county Cheng himself, helping the county to do things, and the county Cheng will pay him directly.

Wang Xin is the main bookkeeper of the post city, and he earns two taels of silver per month. Although it can't be compared with the previous income, life seems to be much happier than before.

Qiu Jinse has a good needlework skill, she asked her neighbors to do the work for her, and the business is still very prosperous. Although Wang Xin persuaded her to rest at home, saying that the family was not short of those few dollars. But she said that she didn't do what she liked before, but now she can finally do it, and she is very happy. Wang Xin knew her temper, so he had to let her go. Just persuade her not to exhaust her body.

Liu Yushi took care of all the work at home, washing and cooking, buying rice and vegetables, cleaning the house, and dismantling and washing the mattress. It's a lot of fun. Although Qiu Jinse wanted to help her, she didn't need to, and still served her like she used to serve when Qiu Jinse was married to Yahuan, and she has not changed.

On this day, it is a light snow in the 24 solar terms. According to the customs of the people in Hedong, every family has to eat knife-cut noodles on this day. Towards evening, the sky was really snowing lightly.

Liu Yushi has been busy in the kitchen for a long time, and making knife-cut noodles is actually an ordinary thing. Liu Yushi always makes ordinary things very exquisite.

First, she squeezes cabbage, water spinach, spinach, rape, aloe vera, and cucumbers into juice. Use this juice as water to mix the noodles. Then boil the yams, yams, pumpkins, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, crush and mix them together.

Usually, when making knife-cut noodles, the noodles are attached to the top of the top of the board and put a small blade into a large pot of boiling.

And Liu Yushi felt that it was very indecent to do this, and she was afraid that she would mess up her hair. She propped up the panel in the crook of her arm. The knife in his hand flew over, and the three-edged shape of the noodles flew into the boiling pot.

After doing these, you have to make marinade, Wang Xin loves to eat beef foam with dried dried beans. Qiu Jinse likes to eat pork foam with dried rodishes. And she herself loves to eat carob melon with eggs.

Liu Yushi prepared these materials for most of the day. Now the family's silver is in her hands, and in addition to buying daily necessities, she also has to calculate the family's expenses. She is used to careful calculations, and it is not difficult for her to do these things at all. But today is a special day, and it's okay to have a little extravagance once in a while.

She shaved her face, and looked up at the sky outside the window slightly in a hurry, it was already dark, and it seemed that Wang Xin was coming back soon.

Qiu Jinse was already holding an oil umbrella and looking at the gate of the courtyard. I saw that in the wind and snow, Wang Xin was wearing a coarse cotton robe and hurriedly walked back.

Qiu Jinse hurriedly took two steps to meet him, and raised the umbrella above Wang Xin's head with a smile. He removed the snowflakes from Wang Xin's shoulders and said, "It seems that I came back a little later than usual today." ”

Wang Xin lifted an oiled paper bag in his hand and said with a smile: "What do you think this is?"

Qiu Jinse shook his head with a smile, and walked side by side with Wang Xin under the umbrella.

Wang Xindao: "Today is 'Xiaoxue', I went out of the post pipe to buy a pound of mutton on the set, and made mutton soup for you and Yushi at night, okay to go to the cold?"

Qiu Jinse said: "Sister Yushi has been busy for most of the day, and everything that should be bought has been bought, why did you go for a special trip?"

Wang Xindao: "She is used to careful calculations on weekdays, and this mutton is expensive, even on this day, she is reluctant to buy it." ”

The two talked and laughed, and came to the kitchen together. Seeing that Liu Yushi was facing the door with her back to the door, bowing her head and busy preparing the marinade, she didn't notice when the two people came in.

She wore a coarse cloth skirt with blue cloth and white flowers, and a red headscarf wrapped around her head. Although she is dressed as a peasant woman, she has a noble temperament, and she is obviously cooking, which makes people look like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.

There was a sudden voice behind him: "Sister, what do you see your husband bought and came back?"

Liu Yushi hurriedly turned around and saw Wang Xin and Qiu Jinse smiling at herself, Qiu Jinse was holding the oil bag in her hand, and Liu Yushi hurriedly stepped forward to take the oil bag.

Liu Yushi looked at Wang Xin, smiled shyly, immediately turned crimson, and lowered her head.

Although she and Wang Xin have been in the same room for a long time, they have known each other for many years. But every time I see it, I have to be shy, it's like seeing it for the first time in my life.

Wang Xin has never seen such a shy woman, he only feels that she and Qiu Jinse have two charms, two styles, difficult to draw and difficult to describe, and both of them are equally important in his heart.

Qiu Jinse saw that Liu Yushi was unpacking the oil bag, and said, "This is the mutton that my husband bought, and he said that he would cook it himself...... Ouch"

Qiu Jinse didn't wait to finish speaking, and before she could smile, she saw Liu Yushi throwing the mutton on the case, and vomited "wow", she hurriedly went up to help, and asked anxiously: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Xin hurriedly poured a glass of warm water, came to Liu Yushi, and gently knocked her back.

After a while, Liu Yushi finished vomiting, she took the warm water, took a sip, and said slowly: "Somehow, when I saw the mutton, I suddenly felt very nauseous." ”

Qiu Jinse and Wang Xin glanced at each other, Wang Xin hurriedly grabbed Liu Yushi's wrist, put his hand on the inch, guan, and ruler, and started the pulse for Liu Yushi.

After a while, Wang Xin's face gradually became excited, and he said: "Yushi, Jinse, we have a child!"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, so startled that Jin Se and Yushi opened their mouths wide, and they couldn't speak for a long time, and for a long time, the two said at the same time: "Really?"

Of course, they knew that their husband's diagnosis would never be wrong, but they still couldn't believe it.

Wang Xin nodded slightly, with a happy smile on his face. And Qiu Jinse and Liu Yushi have already burst into tears. The two hugged their heads excitedly and cried.

On the table this night, there was an extra bowl of mutton soup and a pot of soju.

The carbon fire in the house is thriving, and the three of them are happy with the wine, which is really better than the New Year, more prosperous than being promoted, better than meeting old acquaintances in other places, and happier than any time in life when the candles are spent in the cave room.

Outside the courtyard, eight black shadows jumped over the wall, and soon, in groups of three, they entered the kitchen, wings, and firewood rooms. In an instant, the eight black shadows unconsciously rolled out of the hospital, and immediately after, a raging fire broke out in the three rooms.

The fire spread so fast that after a while, I saw the whole yard burning, as if it were day.
