Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 120 So Hungry My Eyes Are Almost Green
When the first snow fell, the four brothers and sisters Ningxiang and Da Zhuang became the first people to go to Beihe.

Looking at the past, it was all covered with white snow, Ning Xiang rubbed her hands and looked down at the two children.Amu Dazhuang was wearing a thick padded jacket, chasing and playing without fear of anything, occasionally rolling on the ground twice, his little face was flushed, and his black eyes were full of excitement.Suddenly Da Zhuang grabbed a snowball and threw it straight at Xu Qiu'er.

"Aren't you looking for a fight?" Xu Qiu'er hugged her cousin's arm and hid, avoiding the snowball.

Da Zhuang laughed, stretched his arms and ran forward, and Amu followed closely behind.

The children were like chubby geese out of their cages, stretching their necks and chasing after them.

The effort for a meal was useless, the three and one children arrived at the bank of the Beihe River, and the river was also covered with snow.

"Where are you going, Da Zhuang?" Seeing Da Zhuang running to the east where the water is deep, Xu Huai asked in a deep voice.

"The ice is thick over there!" Da Zhuang yelled as he turned his head. Amu followed him at first, but stopped when he heard his cousin's question.

Just as Xu Huai was about to reprimand Da Zhuang, Ning Xiang shook her head and suggested with a smile: "Brother, let's go and have a look first, and come back if the ice is not solid." It is the child who the wall does not look back.

Telling Da Zhuang not to run on the ice, Ning Xiang led her younger brother to the east, and when she reached the place, she used her feet to push away the snow on the rocky beach, found a big rock the size of a pancake, bent down to pick it up, and stared at it. Zhuang Zhuang asked: "Do you think the stone is heavy or you are heavy?"

"Get it for me!" Da Zhuang said unconvincedly, even comparing him with a stone.

Ningxiang really gave it to him.

Da Zhuang hugged it for a while, thought the stone was cold, so he stuffed it for Ningxiang again, and hummed: "The broken stone is not as heavy as my foot!"

The brat spoke loudly, Ning Xiang didn't quarrel with him, she turned around and handed the stone to her cousin, "Brother, hit a rock first and see if the ice can stand it. If even the rock can't bear it, we'll definitely have more ice." no."

Xu Huai looked at his cousin strangely. If his own sister begged him for this matter, it would be no surprise, but my cousin was gentle and sensible, and she was not naughty when she was a child. Now that she is about to get married, why does she suddenly like to play?
But doubts are doubts, Xu Huai still took the stone and threw it heavily towards the middle of the river.

Although Xu Huai hugged his wife Dun Lun last night, Xu Huai's strength did not weaken. Immediately, the strong man of nineteen threw it with all his strength, and the stone immediately broke through the ice and sank. splash.

The sound was so loud that Amu was so frightened that he hugged his sister, afraid for a while, if he stepped on it, he would definitely fall into the water, right?

Ning Xiang's eyes were wet when the stone entered the water. Before, she couldn't imagine how her younger brother fell into the water, but now she suddenly became clear.Thinking that my younger brother must have been very scared when he fell, and must have called his sister, but no one rescued him, and sank alone. From struggling to being unable to move, Ningxiang couldn't bear it any longer, squatted down, hugged her younger brother and cried .

Amu was stupid, Da Zhuang was stupid, Xu Huai brothers and sisters didn't understand what was wrong with her.

Except for Ningxiang herself, no one understands her fear and grief.

Indulging herself in crying for a while, Ning Xiang wiped her eyes, without first explaining to her cousins, she pulled Da Zhuang to her side, let him stand side by side with her younger brother, and asked with red eyes: "Yesterday I didn't let you Come on, are you two planning to come secretly?"

Amu is not good at lying, so he turned to look at Da Zhuang.

Da Zhuang was taken aback by Ning Xiang, and now the pretty sister looked at him pitifully, the boy was inexplicably unable to tell any more lies, and drooped his head.

"Think about it, Da Zhuang, if our lord didn't follow, and you ran onto the ice and fell, would you be able to get up by yourself?"

Ning Xiang held the boy's face and forced him to look at her.

Da Zhuang was suddenly frightened, and cried out with a loud cry. No matter how annoying he is usually, he is now an ordinary child.

"Don't cry, don't cry, the river is dangerous, people are easy to drown in summer, and people will drown if the ice is not strong in winter. If you really want to come and play, ask the adults first. If the elder brother refuses to agree, then ask the elder sister and sister-in-law. Anyway, you are not allowed to come by yourself. Do you know?" Ning Xiang hugged Da Zhuang into her arms, and took out a handkerchief to help him wipe his eyes.

Da Zhuang nodded again and again, crying: "I know, I won't sneak here again, Miss Xiang'er, please don't tell my mother..."

In the final analysis, what I fear most is being spanked by my mother.

Ningxiang smiled, and hugged and coaxed Da Zhuang for a while, until Da Zhuang stopped crying, and then led the children to a place where the water was shallow.The water there is at most two feet deep, and it is so frozen that people can jump on it without any problem.The younger brother was happy, Ning Xiang also went down to play, dragging her younger brother to walk on the ice, Xu Qiuer led Da Zhuang to bump into them, Ning Xiang inevitably fell a few times and squatted on her buttocks.

Painful and happy, my brother's calamity has passed smoothly, and she can really have a good year.

On the evening of New Year's Eve, the two families stayed in the East Courtyard. Xu Shouliang led Xu Huai and Amu to do various trivial things, such as posting Spring Festival couplets, preparing firecrackers, holding firewood, etc., and Li Shi and the three girls were making dumplings in the house.Mrs. Li kneaded the dough and rolled the skin, cut the cabbage with Ningxiang, and Guan Ping had great strength, so Mrs. Li asked his daughter-in-law to cut the meat. Xu Qiu'er had nothing to do for the time being, and sat on the kang to watch them busy, chirping like a lark, as if she couldn't finish. if.

"Mother, do you think this will work?" Guan Ping put down the kitchen knife and asked the mother-in-law to see if the meat she cut was of the right thickness.When she lived in the west courtyard, Mrs. Li didn't let her do the kitchen work. Guan Ping only had the opportunity to learn to cook after marrying Xu Huai.

Mrs. Li glanced at it, rolled the skin and said with a smile: "Just chop it up a little more."

Guan Ping hummed, and continued to chop, his brows furrowed slightly.

Xu Qiu'er is an idler, looking here and there with her almond-shaped eyes, she suddenly noticed that her sister-in-law's face was pale, as if she was not feeling well, her heart tightened, and she worried: "Is there something wrong with my sister-in-law?"

A short sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Guan Ping couldn't bear it any longer. He put a kitchen knife in one hand and covered his mouth with the other, and ran out like a wind around his mother-in-law. The chest spit out, and Xu Huai, who was holding the firewood over there, froze in shock. He threw the firewood and ran towards his wife, "Ping Niang, what's wrong with you?"

The daughter-in-law is in good health, why did she suddenly vomit?

Guan Ping couldn't answer, although he didn't vomit anymore, his stomach was still rumbling and uncomfortable.

Mrs. Li rushed to the daughter-in-law's side one step ahead of her son, calmly patted her on the back, tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart, and asked softly, "Has Ping Niang not had her period for a long time?"

Xu Qiu'er looked at her mother blankly, not understanding the relationship between menstruation and vomiting.

Ning Xiang understood, she couldn't help but hugged her cousin's arm, and stared nervously at Guan Ping.

Guan Ping knew how to distinguish the sinister human heart, Kungfu and how to keep an eye on you without anyone noticing, but he didn't know much about women, he didn't have a clue at all. When the stomach pain was relieved, he answered truthfully to his mother-in-law: "Hurry up!" It's been a month."

She was at the beginning of the month, and when it came last month, Xu Huai was wronged for several days, and after the menstruation was over, he continued to make trouble for several nights.She didn't come this month, she didn't take it seriously, Xu Huai was even more happy, the two continued to sleep with their arms around each other, but after the fifteenth day, she didn't feel well, so she didn't pamper him, and only gave him once every two nights , Xu Huai was worried that she would not like it, so he deliberately slowed down a lot.

As soon as Mrs. Li heard it, she knew it in her heart. She looked at her silly son and silly daughter-in-law, smiled and took Guan Ping's arm, and helped her go in, "Silly girl, you have it, hurry up and sit on the kang, old man Let's raise the baby honestly, there are two younger sisters, me and you, at home, so I don't need your help."

Guan Ping lost his composure in front of everyone for the first time, leaned over and stared at his mother-in-law in disbelief.

Xu Huai hurriedly supported his wife's other arm, and asked his mother excitedly but not sure, "Mom, are you telling the truth?"

"Ninety-nine are close to ten." Li said with a smile, "Right now, everyone is busy celebrating the New Year, so it's definitely right for you to invite Mr. Song after the next year."

Xu Huai was overjoyed, forgetting about the people around her, and happily touched his wife's stomach, "Ping Niang, I'm going to be a father!"

His voice was too loud, the shock in Guan Ping's eyes suddenly turned into embarrassment, and he lowered his eyes and said: "What are you talking about, maybe..."

"There must be!" Xu Huai forbade her to say anything disappointing, and boldly interrupted his daughter-in-law. After the barking, she realized that her attitude was wrong, smiled awkwardly, and said to Li: "Mother, you go and prepare first, and I will help her." Go back to our house."

As parents for the first time, the young couple has a lot to say about themselves.

Li waved her hand and let them go, and she led Ningxiang and sister to continue making dumplings.

Ning Xiang lowered her head and rolled the skin, listening to her aunt's beaming words, she was also sincerely happy, and couldn't help but think about it when she was happy.It took less than three months for Guan Ping to marry her cousin, so after she married Lu Cheng, would it be so soon?
Anyway, what happens between brothers and sisters-in-law, the little girl who is about to get married will think of herself.

In the evening, the whole family gathers together to eat dumplings, sleep well at night, and the next day will be the new year.Ningxiang and her brother went to pay New Year's greetings to their uncle and aunt, and each of them received ten copper coins for the New Year's Eve, and this year it was one more than in previous years, because Guan Ping also gave it, coaxing Amu to secretly show off the extra money to his sister.

On the fourth day of Lu's family's treat, Xu Shouliang and his wife took Amu to dinner. When they came back in the afternoon, Amu ran into the house, took out his small purse from his arms, and threw his head on the kang, his eyes shining, "Sister, what's the matter?" Brother Lu gave it to me, Aunt Zhou gave it to me, Second Aunt Lu gave it to me, Third Aunt Lu gave it to me!"

Ningxiang looked at the lucky money for her younger brother on the kang, Lu Cheng and Pan's gave one hundred copper coins, Lu's and Xu's silver copper coins and small whitebait respectively.

"Xiang'er, don't be greedy for Amu, it's for you too." Afterwards, Li Shi walked in and took out the lucky money she had collected for her niece with a smile on her face.This time, Lu, Pan, and Xu should have discussed it. Each of them had 880 or eight copper coins, strung together into three strings. The copper shone brightly and looked heavy.

Li said comfortingly: "Xiang'er, don't worry, my aunt has noticed that the relatives over there like you, and you won't be bullied if you marry."

Giving more money does not necessarily mean liking it, but more or less it also shows how much people value their niece.

Ning Xiang lowered her head shyly, unable to explain why, the wedding day was getting closer, but she became more nervous.

"However, the Lu family is generous. When Atao Anan arrives on the eighth day of the lunar new year, you can give one or two to each of you." Mrs. Li advised her niece.

Ningxiang is still a little lacking in the relationship between people in the village, and she always listens to her elders.

After discussing it, Mrs. Li talked about the excitement of the Lu family and left.

Ning Xiang blushed and collected all the lucky money.

On the eighth day of the Xu family's eighth day, guests were invited. Before the banquet, the Li family sent his son to the town to invite a doctor. When he came to No. [-] pulse, Guan Ping had more than just had it. The child was almost two months old, and it should have been conceived before the Lu family gave the dowry.She was about to become a grandmother, and Li's face was full of red. After instructing her daughter-in-law how to raise the baby, she called her son aside and gave her a severe admonition.

In a word, the daughter-in-law is not allowed to think about it until the confinement period is over!

Xu Huai was really like half of his body soaked in a honey pot, and the other half was thrown into Beihe.

But he is half sweet anyway, Lu Cheng brought his younger sister and son over to visit on the eighth day of the eighth day, and they were chatting speculatively, when he suddenly heard this good news...

Eyes are almost green.
