Several times in dreams

Chapter 24
Before dawn, Wanying woke up at the first rooster crow.

The mother told the bride to get up early the next morning, greet her in-laws, serve tea, and cook her first breakfast.

Wanying is good at cooking. Although there are some rich families who serve their mothers-in-law and maids, but when they are twelve or thirteen years old, they have to learn female reds, cooking skills, home furnishings and other things in order to marry into their in-laws and take care of housework. , although you don't have to do everything yourself, but you must know something to be in charge.

But Wanying doesn't want to get up now, the young couple was in a state of panic last night, Wanying glanced at the blood-stained handkerchief beside the bed, and secretly blushed.

Chen Wenjun was still sleeping on her chest, his childlike face made her motherly, not trying to be lazy, but just wanting him to sleep for a while.

But after closing her eyes for a quarter of an hour, Mother Su knocked on the door, "Miss, Uncle, it's time to get up, Master and Madam are still waiting to greet you!"

Wanying sat up suddenly and rubbed her eyes, why did she fall asleep again?

Hurry to get up and get dressed, although there is a brazier in the house, it is not as warm as her natal house after all, Wanying couldn't help sneezing.

Here Chen Wenjun also woke up, and hurriedly helped Wanying put on the coat outside, "Be careful of catching a cold, it's no colder than your natal home in the city or the house in the suburbs."

"It's okay, I'm strong," Wanying smiled, but Chen Wenjun was stunned.

"Sister, you're so pretty," after finishing speaking, she stretched out her hand and pulled Wanying into her arms, "Oh, get up quickly! My in-laws are going to scold us soon!"

Wanying broke away from his embrace in shame, fearing that he would make trouble again, she stood in the middle of the new room and got dressed, and hurriedly called Mother Su to come in and help comb her hair and wash her face.

The young couple packed up and came to the central hall. Sure enough, Chen Zhizhou and his wife were already sitting upright, waiting for tea.

Seeing his son and daughter-in-law looking happy, Chen Zhizhou came in talking and laughing. Knowing that the marriage was consummated, he stroked his beard and smiled, "Wen Jun, why did you wake up Wanying so early? You should let her do it sooner." Just sleep for a while, our family doesn't talk about those red tapes, hehehe..."

Seeing that his father was so partial to Wanying, Chen Wenjun pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Where did I call her? It was obviously me who was sleeping, and was woken up by her surprise, and the mother Su she brought, God Knock on the door if it's not lit..."

"You child, can you be a little more disciplined?" Jiang's expression was doting.

"You have to study hard from Wanying in the future, she is a well-known lady in the holy city!"

Becoming a mother-in-law at a young age, Jiang Shi really didn't get used to it for a while. He was born in a humble background and didn't know how to stand up in front of his daughter-in-law. Instead, he was afraid of saying the wrong thing and showing timidity.

Fortunately, there is already a woman here who brought the tea, Wanying and his wife bowed to greet her, then knelt down, Wanying took the tea cup with the cup holder firmly, brought it to Chen Zhizhou, and respectfully said: "Father Please have some tea."

"Okay, okay," Chen Zhizhou took the tea with a smile, lifted the lid of the cup, took a sip, closed the lid again and handed it back.

Then handed the red silver pouch prepared in advance to Wanying from the desk next to it. Inside was twenty silver dollars, which was regarded as a gift bag for drinking modified tea. Here, Jiang also drank the same tea and gave the same gift bag .

Wanying thanked them one by one, and then Chen Zhizhou said in harmony: "Wanying, from today onwards, you are a member of our Chen family. As for Wen Jun, there are five older sisters on him, all of whom are married, and come back later." I'll let you know again."

"Come on, let your mother-in-law take you to recognize the people in the family first, and we will be a family from now on!"

There were already a group of children standing beside the Jiang family, so they started talking one by one. Miss Wenlan was the only girl in the Chen family. She was 13 years old and looked like her father-in-law. Her originally pretty face looked a little ferocious, and her eyes were also gloomy.

The second young master, Wen Jing, was nine years old, just at the age of naughtiness, standing there without stopping for a moment, poking Wen Lan for a while, and tugging at the ears of the third young master Wenxiu for a while, making the five-year-old Wenxiu cry.

Jiang Shi was used to being rough and loud, and seeing this scene, he couldn't help yelling at Wen Jing loudly. This yelling made the fourth young master Wen Yu in his arms startled and burst into tears. For a while, the hall was very lively.

Meng Wanying was stunned, but what surprised her even more was that her father-in-law Chen Zhizhou was not annoyed by this, but looked at the mess in front of her with admiring eyes, enjoying the noise of the market.

Chen Zhizhou said to Wen Jun and his wife: "Wen Jun, do you see that the children and grandchildren are around the knees, this is the happiness of the family, ha ha ha!"

After all the children had called sister-in-law, Wanying gave them a meeting gift one by one. They used the best topaz chrysoprase and tied it with red embroidery thread with gold thread, tied it to the skirts of the children, and followed Mama Su went to prepare breakfast.

In the morning, of course, I eat noodles. The job of kneading the noodles is Mama Su's job. After kneading the noodles, she wakes up for a quarter of an hour. Wanying rolls the noodles until they are as thin as paper, folds them a few times and cuts them into thin shreds. , then finely chop the shallots.

Skillfully put the oil in the frying pan, when the aroma of scallion oil hits you, put in hot water, two poached eggs per person, don't turn over, after boiling the bottom, the noodles are cooked and the eggs are also cooked.

The poached eggs are round and complete, add sesame oil at the end, sprinkle with coriander powder, and the hot poached egg noodles with scallion oil will be ready.

Chen Zhizhou nodded in satisfaction while eating the noodles. It is a blessing in life that he married Jiang, who can make dim sum, and gave birth to four sons and a daughter.

I didn't expect my son to be able to climb up to a famous lady. Not only does he not have the temperament of a young lady, but he is so virtuous and capable. Chen Mou is so virtuous and capable, he is simply at the pinnacle of life, just thinking about it, Master Chen can laugh out loud in his dreams.

After breakfast, Wanying bid farewell and went back to her room to rest. Chen Wenjun naturally followed her all the way. Now he had nothing else in his eyes, he just wanted to follow Wanying, wherever she went, he would follow.

Wanying laughed and said, "How childish you are, like a baby."

"I am, how?" Wen Jun replied with a smirk.

"You!" Wanying blushed again, she chased and beat him, but she was hugged by him, and the two of them fell on the bed.

"Dangdangdang" only heard someone knock on the door, Wen Jun whispered angrily: "It must be your mother Su again."

Wanying smiled and straightened her clothes, but it was her sister-in-law Wenlan who opened the door.

I saw her with a cold face, with a girl, holding a piece of blue cotton cloth. Seeing Wanying coming out, she saluted slightly: "Sister-in-law, mother asked me to bring a piece of cotton cloth, and asked sister-in-law to give it to daddy." Make a new robe with Big Brother."

Chunni was drying clothes in the yard, she hurried over to pick them up, and sent them to Wanying's room, Wenlan didn't say much, she saluted again and turned to leave.

But Wanying saw at a glance that the newly hung topaz was no longer on her skirt.

Maybe she was reluctant to wear this precious thing and put it away, but Wanying didn't take it to heart.

After returning to the room, I started to measure the cloth with a wooden ruler. This was the second problem my mother had mentioned, and the first problem had already been solved by breakfast.

Sure enough, this piece of cloth was not enough to make cotton robes for two people. The width of cotton cloth is very narrow. This piece of cloth is not a whole piece, only a little over three feet.

To sew a cotton gown for an adult man, there must be a front and back, and it takes a whole bolt of cotton cloth to sew two pieces.

The current fabrics can only be made into one and a half robes, or the robes of a grown man and a ten-year-old child.

I remember my mother told her a joke about her relatives. Because the bride was stupid, her husband's family gave her a whole piece of fabric, but because she always cut it wrong, she didn't even make a robe, which became a temporary joke.

I didn't expect that my mother-in-law seemed to have no intentions, but secretly gave her insufficient fabric and asked her to cut two robes, which made her blatantly embarrassing.

Wen Jun watched her hesitate for a long time, and comforted her: "It's okay if you can't sew well, so I just went through the motions. I heard that my mother can't even hold a needle. Didn't she also get married by my father?"

"Besides, father and mother are not that particular about people, don't think too hard, if you don't have enough fabric, just make one, and I'll help you go back to them, just say that the cloth sellers don't have enough!"

Meng Wanying's reluctance to admit defeat made her think again and again, and suddenly she remembered the tailoring method taught by her natal mother Chen. She picked up the scissors and measured them with a wooden ruler a few times, and cut decisively. A few pieces and start sewing.
