Before dawn the next day, the punctual Master Gong drove to Wanghe Village to pick him up.
Everything was prepared at home. Ma packed all the pastries and newly baked buns in food boxes and placed them in Master Gong's car.
Cheng Xue told Yu Niang that Mr. Ma would take good care of the house, so she took Li Yue and Yan Yixin to the car. Li Tian and Li Huai hadn't gotten up yet, so they were probably going to make a fuss when they woke up.
There were two cars in total. Everyone was sitting in Master Gong’s carriage, and Li Zhong was pulling the things.
The car has been loaded with things a long time ago, including millet, eggs, mugwort leaves, dried mother-in-law cubes...
It’s not a valuable thing, but it is something that must be used during confinement.
Focus on one benefit.
We galloped all the way without rest, and had lunch in the car. Finally, at 2:00 a.m., the carriage entered the city, and everyone was jolted to the point of falling apart.
Since they bought the rented house, it has been much easier for them to enter and leave the city.
Master Gong took him to the place with ease. Cheng Xue got off the bus, paid the fare, and watched him go.
The alley is still so quiet, both sides of the house are dark, there is no waiting.
After Zhou Fei went south, the Lian family brought their family back to the mansion in Fucheng. The reason why they came to live here in the first place was for Zhou Fei to study.
The yard was quite clean, and Yan Yixin tidied it up when he had free time. It was very effective. There were no weeds, and the stove was easy to burn. After a simple dinner, Cheng Xue got into bed, feeling really uncomfortable everywhere.
"Mom, you must be exhausted."
"It's not easy anyway." Cheng Xue didn't show off, lying on her back and said, "Help mom rub your back."
Li Yue stood up, lit some wax, and kneaded her acupuncture points by candlelight. After a stick of incense, she heard her mother's steady breathing, and the little girl raised the corners of her mouth...
……
The next day Cheng Xue woke up, and Li Yue was no longer around.
Yesterday's rush like a special forces soldier really made her whole body sore and miserable. If Li Yue hadn't kneaded her later, I'm afraid she wouldn't have had a better night. This body was obviously only twenty-eight years old, but it was a little bit different.
He doesn’t even look like he’s twenty-eight.
I guess she made herself useless.
No, she has to rise up and exercise.
Being an action person, she made a prompt decision, got up and dressed, folded the quilt, opened the window, and went to the ground to put on her shoes.
Li Zhong was the only one in the courtyard. When he saw that she was awake, he stood up quickly and saluted with his hands in front of her——
"Madam, you're up. The water has been boiled. Can the little man bring it to you?"
"No rush." Cheng Xue shook his head, "Where are Brother Xin and Tangtang?"
"Replying to my wife, my young master took the eldest lady out to buy breakfast."
Oh, these two are really good at taking advantage of opportunities. But she is an open-minded mother, and Yan Yixin also does her duty, so don’t worry.
Cheng Xue nodded calmly, pointed outside and said:
"I'm going out for a walk, you..."
"The villain will accompany you."
"That's fine." Cheng Xue did not refuse.
Locking the courtyard door, the two walked around the Gongyuan along the alley twice. During this period, they passed Zhou's house twice. The door of the house was closed tightly, and a red cloth was hung on the top of the door. This was to inform outsiders that there was a confinement confinement person in the house, a taboo avoidance.
Open.
"Li Zhong, if you don't have anything to do today, go take a look around and see if there is any land around you."
"Yes."
The money you earn should not be kept for a long time, hoarding land, hoarding gold is the only way to go.
When they were about to get home, they saw Yan Yixin and Li Yue walking this way, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good. Li Zhong went over, took the things in their hands, and hurried home.
"What did mother do?"
"Nothing to do, just walk around and exercise. Do you sell a lot of food in the morning?"
"More." Li Yue nodded, "Brother took me to buy them at the entrance of their academy. There are many vendors. We bought wontons, scones, and goat's milk."
"We eat pretty good food on weekdays, so I wanted to buy some for Auntie and Tangtang to try." Yan Yixin explained.
Regardless of ancient times or modern times, if you sell things in front of the school, your business will not be bad.
Cheng Xue smiled and said "Yeah" and went home with the two children.
Boil the goat's milk, put the wontons into a bowl, along with scones and pickles.
After a simple breakfast, it was time for Yan Yixin to return to Tengfei Academy. Li Zhong drove to see him off first, then came back to load his things into the car and see off Cheng Xue and Li Yue.
Before Cheng Xue got off the bus, she handed him all the banknotes she had brought and asked him to do what he wanted. This was a huge amount of trust. Li Zhong was so excited that he did not dare to forget the rules and hurriedly raised his hands in salute and nodded heavily.
Cheng Xue and her daughter followed the housekeeper into the courtyard, and the boy unloaded the things in the car one by one. They followed a mother-in-law to the side room where Lian was doing her confinement. There was also a red cloth nailed on the door.
The mother-in-law beside Mrs. Lian had been waiting at the door for a long time. She said "Oh--" and walked over.
"Mrs. Li, I've been waiting for you to come. Our young mistress has been crying recently, and no matter how hard she tries to persuade her, you still have to come. Miss Li is beautiful again. Look at how steady she is, she really follows you." p>
The mother-in-law’s words are pertinent. After all, she contains a lot of water. It’s normal for pregnant women to cry after giving birth. That kind of emotional gap needs to be vented.
When the couple entered the house, the smell of moxa was very strong. They were not allowed to take a shower or blow dry for a month, so you can imagine how bright the smell was in the house.
Mr. Lian, wearing a scarf on his head, was sitting on the kang. Cheng Xue waved to her and said with a tearful voice:
"My sister-in-law is finally here. If she doesn't come, I will feel that life is meaningless."
"Oh, grandma said such depressing words again. You can't cry now. Crying during confinement is not good for your eyes. You have to take good care of your body. Your body is the most important thing..."
Not to mention that Mrs. Lian didn’t like listening to the mother-in-law’s nagging, Cheng Xue also found it annoying.
He cleared his throat to interrupt the mother-in-law, walked to the kang and gave instructions:
"Put a screen next to the kang, and then open the doors and windows for ventilation. It is right to avoid the wind during confinement, but you can't cover it all up, as it will taste bad. Your grandma is in a irritable mood now, so you should miss her less.
She comes when she is happy, and her mood is the most important thing. Let the air flow for a while, then close it and remove the screen. Don’t let it smoke all the time and make you choke."
"Yes." The mother-in-law responded enthusiastically and went down to prepare.
She doesn't believe others, but she knows Cheng Xue's medical skills well, and if she says it's possible, it must be possible.
The doors and windows were open for enough time to make a cup of tea, and the moment they were closed and the screens were removed, fresh air rushed into the nostrils, and Lian felt that his whole body came to life.
"Sister-in-law, everything is going well at home recently. I heard that you built a new house, congratulations."
Cheng Xue put down the tea cup, patted the back of her hand and said:
"When you are one month old and you move your child with you, come and live with me for a while. This time the house will be big enough to live in."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Mrs. Lian thanked her with a smile.
Li Yue was attentive and saw that her smile did not reach her eyes. She walked to the kang and squatted down and asked:
"Sir, are you okay? Does your body hurt?"
A simple question almost brought tears to Lian's eyes. The mother-in-law also wanted to remind her, but Cheng Xue waved her hand to stop her. If you want to cry, cry. Only by letting it out can you feel better. Otherwise, if you just hold it in, it's almost as good as not being depressed. The mother-in-law sent the maid out, closed the door, and brought the fruit to the Kang.
