The daily routine of wearing a book and abusing literature to cultivate a scholar and Xiaoxianggong

Chapter 5 Xiang Gong meets his mother-in-law

On the morning of returning home, although it was not too early to get close, the sun was high and the weather was hot when we went out, so the two of them got up when it was still daylight.

After washing up, Li Xiaodao yawned and sat in front of the mirror, Xianggong was still busy with breakfast, imitating how Xianggong did yesterday, he casually straightened his hair, and put a thick bun on his head to settle the matter.

She opened the cabinet again, took five taels of silver from her bag and put it in her bosom.

When Pei Zhiqi entered the room with the meal, he saw the dumpling on Li Xiao's knife and laughed: "I'll recomb the lady after the meal."

Li Xiaodao scratched his head in embarrassment, and hummed.

After breakfast, Li Xiaodao was in charge of washing the pots and dishes. After finishing his busy work, he was dragged to sit in front of the mirror by his husband. He untied the little buns and combed his hair again, which looked better than yesterday's one.

"Wait a minute, lady." After combing, Pei Zhiqi refused to let her get up, walked to the side and opened the cabinet, rummaged in it for a while and then came back with something extra in his hand.

It is a hosta.

"Today is an important day, my lady, do you want to wear it?" Pei Zhiqi lowered his head and asked in a low voice.

"This is..." Xianggong hasn't left the village for the past few days, when did he buy it?Li Xiaodao was puzzled.

"I bought this hairpin before we got married, but every time I saw you by the river, I wanted to give it to my wife but was afraid of scaring you, so I didn't take it out for a long time," Pei Zhiqi replied a little shyly.

"Put on the hairpin!" Li Xiaodao said bluntly.

It's a little cute to imagine a husband who is shy with a token of love in his arms but dare not restrain the other party.

After packing up their luggage and bringing presents, the two set off after bidding farewell to Pei's father and mother.

As expected of the climate of the southern seaside, the sun is hot as soon as it comes out.

Li Xiaodao was carrying a snack box in his hand, Xianggong was carrying other things on his back, and the two walked towards Jinsha Town on foot.

Passing by the river where the two met, she and her husband looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

On the way, Li Xiaodao's stomach was rumbling, he got up too early and had no appetite, only ate thin noodle paste instead of dry food, and couldn't resist hunger at all.

Pei Zhiqi wanted to stop her when she saw the lady opening the snack box and was about to take a piece to eat, but it was too late, the snack entered Li Xiao's mouth with lightning speed, and she took a delicious bite.

"It's delicious." Seeing Xianggong's expression, Li Xiaodao smiled and said, "It's okay, there are so many in the box. Oh, yes! It seems that this snack can't be singular." After finishing speaking, she took out another piece and stuffed it into Xianggong's mouth He smiled and said, "This is an even number again."

Pei Zhiqi had no choice but to smile and eat his snacks.

The lady is so lively, cute and easy-going, and then related to the theory of the lady yesterday, Pei Zhiqi couldn't help feeling again that the lady was a strange woman who came down from nowhere. A chivalrous woman who has experienced in the rivers and lakes.

After walking for nearly half an hour, we finally arrived at Jinsha Town.

Li Xiaodao's father is the owner of the largest medical clinic in the town. Although there are no maids and servants in the family, they employ two assistants and a cook who specializes in cooking.

But today's battle is obviously not something that the cook and the waiters can do.

From a distance, you can see a big red lantern hanging at the gate, the gate is open, many people come in and out, it is very lively, and there is a special person watching the wind at the gate, seeing the lady leading the man back, immediately lit a firecracker, crackling, I don’t know Some people thought that the Li family was going to get married today.

Li Xiaodao stood at the door of the house and sighed, what should come will always come.

She turned to Pei Zhiqi and said, "Sir, you have to be mentally prepared."

At this time, Pei Zhiqi didn't know what the lady meant, so he just followed the lady into the door.

"Oh—look at you all! Look at it! My daughter-in-law is back with her precious son-in-law!!" A woman dressed up in red brocade and luxurious clothes pointed her finger at the three big seats in the courtyard. The guests shouted, the voice pierced through the entire courtyard, she walked quickly to the door, holding Li Xiaodao in one hand and Pei Zhiqi in the other, and led the two into the courtyard, smiling all over her face: " But my mother is looking forward to it! Why are you coming back now, it's almost noon!"

Pei Zhiqi wanted to bow his hands to his mother-in-law and the guests, but Li Xiaodao's mother held her hand so tightly that she couldn't pull it out.

"Oh my mother, just go back to the door, why are you making such a big show, it's embarrassing", Li Xiaodao looked at the husband, the meaning in his eyes was that he asked for forgiveness and don't blame him.

Pei Zhiqi returned her a gentle and sensible smile, meaning it was okay and understandable.

"What do you mean by going back to the door? Who are you missing? I just want to invite three tables today and tell the folks in the town that my daughter-in-law is getting married! Tsk tsk! Look at the appearance of my son-in-law, he is very upright I can't find such a handsome son-in-law anywhere in the town!"

Li Xiaodao's mother simply threw away Li Xiaodao's hand, took Pei Zhiqi with both hands and walked over to introduce him from table to table, and satisfactorily received the envious eyes of other brothers, aunts, uncles and sisters in the town. bad breath.

Seeing this, Li Xiaodao hurried forward and dragged his mother and husband together. It took a lot of effort to drag the two out of the crowd and into his original boudoir at home. He broke his mother's hand and finally rescued Pei Zhiqi.

"Mother! Don't do this, Xianggong is a gentleman, it's very rude to do this," Li Xiaodao tried to restrain himself and said as calmly as possible.

Mother pressed her finger on Li Xiaodao's forehead: "You damn girl, you have met your father-in-law in just a few days, what's wrong with mother taking your husband-in-law to save face?"

After finishing speaking, he pinched Li Xiaodao's face and looked at it: "Ninny, are you a little fatter?"

"Ah?" This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, Li Xiaodao turned his head and asked his husband: "I... am I fat?"

Pei Zhiqi shook his head: "I can't tell, the lady hasn't changed much." It's really hard to tell when we stay together every day.

"Look, my son-in-law is sweet-talking and can coax people. When I asked you to marry you, you still gave me all day no, no, no, no, no, my eyes are better? What a good son-in-law I chose for you!"

Li Xiaodao took a deep breath, "Mother, go ahead and hang yourself on the horse, ignore us, we will put the presents in the warehouse by ourselves, and later see relatives and children will also give red envelopes, don't worry!"

"I don't want to hang around when you're back. I usually don't play with you chattering at home. It's not that you are married and the house is quiet. I have to find something to distract my mind."

Li Xiaodao's mother took Li Xiaodao's hand and sat on the edge of the bed, and wiped her tears with a sad handkerchief: "My son, I only have two children, and your brother, who is an unfilial son, ran to the provincial capital to open a medical clinic, and stayed in the hospital. If you don’t come back there, you’re the only one left at home, you’re married and now it’s just me and your father staying in this empty mansion, hey!”

Li Xiaodao had no choice but to hug his mother and pat his back to comfort her: "Okay, I'm so close, if you want to see me walk, just go, if you feel tired, hire a carriage, don't cry."

Li Xiaodao's mother sobbed a few more times: "Yeah. You two sit here and rest for a while. I'll call the waiter over to make tea. It's time to arrange a banquet outside. By the way, go to the restaurant and ask your father to come back to see the son-in-law!"

Mother finally went out, Li Xiaodao took a breath, patted the edge of the bed, and told the husband to sit down and rest for a while.
