For two consecutive days, with Cheng Xue's continuous injection of acupuncture, Guan finally got rid of morning sickness, ate well, and slept peacefully.
Guo Dake and his wife always praised Cheng Xue for her good medical skills and her free medical skills. A few years ago, every family in the village who had a headache would go to her. Just because she didn’t spend any money!
Cheng Xue not only practiced her skills, but also made her family's reputation skyrocket in the village. Even Li Heng and Yan Yixin deeply felt the enthusiasm of everyone when they went out to play.
In her spare time, Cheng Xue sewed quilt covers and mattress covers with Li Yue at home. The couple made the pieces of dark cotton damask that Xiao Qinglin gave them, and they were enough to go to the county.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month, and the forest farm is finally on holiday.
It is said that the holiday is late this year, and it was given off during the Spring Festival in previous years. However, the new owner is very generous. Not only did he pay all the wages, but he also gave each person an extra 30 cents, plus a piece of pork belly.
Yu Zhao came back with Li Hui and left the meat directly with their family.
During this period, he had a lot of money due to taking on some odd jobs. In addition, his brother and sister-in-law took care of him, and a piece of pork belly was not enough to express his gratitude.
He had already thought about it. When his family went back to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year, each child would be given another ten yuan of New Year's money. After packing up his things and coming out, Li Hui was already waiting for him by the carriage.
"Hurry up and get in the car. After Bai Rui has dropped off, you will go to the county to pick up Qinglin and go directly back to Fucheng. The things in the car are from your sister-in-law and I to honor your uncle and aunt. The clothes are for your children." p>
"Brother, you are also..."
Li Hui stopped him and asked for some polite words.
"Get in the car, don't waste your time, Barry is really busy."
Cheng Xue smiled and waved, saying:
"Yu Zhao goes back to help us say hello to our uncle and aunt, and we will go there on the second day of the new year."
"I know, sister-in-law, go back to the house quickly, it's very cold."
Yu Zhao knew in his heart that they would not enter the house unless he left, so he quickly got into the carriage.
Several people watched the carriage leave, then went home and hung up the courtyard gate.
"Dad, dad, dad..."
Li Heng gritted his teeth again. Li Hui looked at Cheng Xue helplessly and saw her nodding before saying:
"Okay, okay, go get ready. I'll take you there later. Just call Shuanzi and Luozi this time. Don't call too many people because they won't be able to take care of you."
"Don't worry, dad, I know what's going on."
Li Heng jumped to the warehouse in a hurry. Cheng Xue patted Li Yue on the shoulder and signaled her to get ready quickly.
Li Hui took the five pieces of chaga fungus last time and sold them in Fucheng. The price was very high, and both children made a small profit. So this time Li Yue did not refuse and hurriedly went into the house to change clothes.
Li Tian knew that she was too young to go, so he played with his younger brother on the kang. Li Huai was no longer willing to crawl on all fours and began to try to stand on two feet.
Cheng Xue was frightened by the occasional "thud-thud-" fall, but the child was fine and very solid.
Twenty-eight, hair.
Cheng Xue followed the local customs and brought the bean paste stuffing and washed jujubes prepared for the marriage proposal into the house to prepare steamed dry food.
Li Tian came closer and said with a smile:
"Mom, let me help you."
"No, just keep an eye on your brother."
As he said that, he brought her some jujubes and kneaded a small ball of red bean paste stuffing for Li Huai.
It’s sweet and kids like it.
In previous years, the original owner would give out three or five pots of noodles, which she could eat until she was enlightened. This year, she didn't do so many, and just gave out one pot to suit the occasion.
The two large pots in the west bathroom are just perfect for steaming the steamed buns. After the steamed buns are taken out of the pot, the water is boiled, and the temperature in the room is just right for the two children to take a bath, so they can celebrate the New Year cleanly.
After working for an hour and a half, Cheng Xue couldn't help but lower her head and kiss each of the two clean little ones.
Li Huai couldn't stop laughing after being kissed.
Li Tian hugged her neck and kissed her back vigorously.
"Mom, I like you so much."
When the little girl expressed her emotions so straightforwardly, Cheng Xue felt that her time spent was worth it.
He held both children in his arms, kissed each one and said:
"My mother likes you very much. You, your brother, and your sister are all my beloved children."
"Baoda...baoda..." Li Huai likes to add "da" to whatever he says.
The three mothers were making out, and suddenly the door of the room opened, and Mrs. Dong Xu came in from outside.
"Hey, what are you three doing?"
Cheng Xue let go of the two children and asked instead:
"How do you know Hu Zi has not left home?"
Mrs. Xu smiled and put down the basin in her hand and said:
"How can I know about the bolts your Tiedan took Huzi to my house to look for? Steam some dry food with red bean paste and give you some. Dong Cheng took his two younger brothers to go up the mountain with him, and Brother Dake also went.
I always let your Huizi lead the children to play, and they both feel bad."
"No matter what, he just coaxes his son."
"Should I say it or not, your Huizi has been really good to the children since he became sensible."
Cheng Xue nodded after hearing this, picked up a steamed bun, broke it open, and gave it to Li Tian and Li Huai.
"How many pots have you cooked?"
"Liuguo. Both my brothers-in-law love sweets. They just finished their work. First they went to Dake's house, and here they are to your house."
After saying that, Mrs. Xu took off her shoes and got on the kang, not treating herself as an outsider at all.
He brought Li Huai over, smelled the sweet smell of the little guy, and said:
"You are so clean when you take care of your child and give him a bath?"
"I just finished washing. How do you wash your house? Why don't you bring your own firewood and come here to deal with it?"
Mrs. Xu knew that she was sincerely inviting her, but she couldn't agree shamelessly. She shook her head hurriedly and said:
"No need, just boil water for washing at home. Are you going back to your home village on the second day of the new year?"
"Come back, don't you go back every year on the second day of junior high school? What's wrong? Are you busy?"
Mrs. Xu nodded and let go of the struggling Li Huai.
"It's a bit. As you know, this year is the last year of mourning in my family. After celebrating my mother-in-law's anniversary in March next year, we will take off our mourning. It's time to arrange the marriage between Dong Hong and Dong Bin. They are both grown up.
”
After hearing this, Cheng Xue understood.
"Let me ask Yujiatun? Uncle Dong is not planning to search in our village?"
"Well, my father-in-law is afraid. He is afraid that he will meet an in-law like my mother again."
Uh...
Sure enough, they are mother and daughter, falling in love and killing each other.
"What about Dong Hong and Dong Bin? What do they think? No one in the village is interested in them?" Cheng Xue asked.
Xu got angry when he mentioned this, slapped his thigh and said:
"They tease their children every day after they have enough to eat, and when asked about their marriage, they say, 'It all depends on me.' You said it's not me who is marrying a wife, so what's the use of listening to me?
At least give me a general direction, your temperament, your family situation? It would be good to have the same moral character as Dong Cheng, and let him be the shopkeeper. I just want to make a request to my father-in-law, not to look for him in the village."
Mother-in-law is not here, she is the eldest sister-in-law and must arrange the marriage arrangements for her brothers-in-law.
Cheng Xue understands her feelings, but she is not good at maintaining sex and has a heavy responsibility.
"In this case, I will help you ask when you go back to the second grade of junior high school. If there is a candidate, you can find out on your own. Getting married is not a piece of cake. You have to find out clearly before making a decision."
"Okay, you take care of the matter. We don't have high requirements, just don't be too sharp."
