Chapter 273 Harvest Mulberry
Now that someone was suddenly added to the family, not only did Mei Xiang feel a little uncomfortable, even the servants underneath were a little at a loss.This is mainly reflected in the fact that they don't know how to call the young master's daughter-in-law.Finally figured out that it was time to call Second Young Mistress, but Mei Xiang felt terrified when she heard it.She is just the daughter of a peasant family, and those who are not familiar with her will call her by her first name, and those who are more familiar will call her Mei Xiang directly.The words of the Second Young Mistress sound like something in my ears, and I feel it is very harsh!

But even if you are not used to it, you have to get used to it gradually in the future.There is a saying that if you marry a chicken, you will marry a dog, and she can only do it if she gets used to it!

Three days after the couple got married, it was the day when they returned home. During these three days, Mei Xiang always thought about going to her natal home. After all, it was a place she was used to living in. She always wanted to run to her mother's house.In fact, speaking of it, she is already very lucky. Neither her father-in-law nor her mother-in-law like to torment her daughter-in-law unreasonably, and her aunts, aunts, and uncles all grew up with her, so they are very familiar with each other. Will embarrass her?The most important thing is that Qiu Song treats her very well and likes to accommodate her.All in all, the married life is extremely comfortable.It's just that a person has stayed in one place for a long time, and I miss it somewhat.This is not to say that the in-law's family is bad, it's just a habit!

Finally came the third day of marriage, which was the day when the couple returned home.It was still daylight, but Mei Xiang had already woken up, and she was thinking about returning home!I don't know how her parents, grandma, second uncle, younger brother and cousin are doing when she is not at home, do they think about her the same way she thinks about them?

After breakfast, I put the gift back home directly in the back basket, so I don't need to drive the ox cart for such a few steps.On the way, Qiu Song obviously felt that his daughter-in-law was much more active than when she was at home, chattering loudly.Qiu Song shook his head helplessly with a smile, yes, the daughter-in-law stayed at her mother's house for 18 years, and married him this time, but she is not as free as when she was at her mother's house in the past.

As soon as I arrived at the fish pond of Mei Xiang's mother's house, I heard Mei Xiang's mother's earnest call, "Qiu Song, Mei Xiang, you are back. Father of the child, go and help Qiu Song and Mei Xiang to carry things. Qiu Song is a student, where are you?" Know how to do these rough jobs?" It turned out that Mei Xiang married, not only Mei Xiang herself felt uncomfortable, but even Mei Xiang's natal family was also like this!

It was not easy for the young couple to return home. That day, Lao Gen and his wife stopped working in the field and stood in front of their yard waiting for their son-in-law and daughter to return home!The burden on the shoulders of Qiu Song and Mei Xiang was snatched by Mei Xiang's parents long ago, and they carried it on their backs.A few people gathered together, talking and laughing, lively and full of joy.Seeing such a scene, Mei Xiang always felt a little uncomfortable in her heart and wanted to shed tears when she heard the laughter.

When they arrived in the yard, Mei Xiangniang poured tea for her daughter and son-in-law, and exchanged pleasantries.Not long after, Mei Xiangniang went to the stove to cook. Grandma was getting old, so it was natural that Mei Xiang went to help her.Grandma Mei Xiang sat in front of the stove and lit the fire, looking very satisfied with her granddaughter running around in the stove and helping with chores.In her lifetime, she could see these grandchildren getting married one by one, which is already regarded as God's kindness to her old lady.

In the kitchen, several women were busy preparing food; in the main room, the son-in-law and father-in-law were chatting.Knowing that his father-in-law had just married his daughter to him, Qiu Song felt reluctant and worried that he would treat Mei Xiang badly.Qiu Song has been studying abroad for several years, and he can see his face to some extent. Now he can see his father-in-law showing a sad and uncomfortable expression while smoking a pipe.

Qiu Song also felt that she had worked so hard to feed her daughter to such an age, and at the age of eighteen or nineteen, she was going to marry someone else in a blink of an eye. It was really distressing!He then said to Xu Laogen: "Father, don't worry. Since Mei Xiang is married to me, I will definitely not let her suffer! I will do my best to take care of her and will not let her suffer any grievances. Dad You don't have to be sad, from another level, isn't this married woman just having an extra son? The son-in-law will be half a son, and you will make up for it!"

What Qiu Song said made Xu Laogen almost elated.That's right, that's the reason. It's not that his daughter and son-in-law are treating him badly. What does he mean by being sad here?Sad ass!In just a short while, Xu Laogen changed from frowning to smiling.How could he not be happy with such a thoughtful remark!

Inside the stove, while busy cooking, Mei Xiangniang asked Qiu Song if she was good to Mei Xiang, and if she had been wronged after she got married.Mei Xiang, who asked every sentence, smiled openly, and gave her mother a coquettish look. "Mom, where did you go? You and Aunt Han are friends who have known each other for many years. Are they the kind of people who say one thing in front of another? Qiu Song also treats me very well, so don't be blind." I asked." At the end of the talk, the little girl's face turned red, and Mei Xiang blushed, and simply lowered her head in a muffled voice and cut the potato shreds.

Seeing Mei Xiang's shy look, Mei Xiangniang was very comforted.She is someone who has experienced it, so how can she not understand why her daughter is blushing.Presumably her son-in-law also treated her very well, so she was relieved.

Although Mei Xiang is mostly sweet in her heart, she also feels a little bit sad. As long as she thinks about living in the future and not being able to live with her parents, grandma, and second uncle, she feels very sad.

"Okay, okay, mother won't ask. Hey, Mei Xiang, why are you crying? Did you suffer some kind of grievance?" Mei Xiangniang felt relieved, but she saw that Mei Xiang, who was cutting potato shreds, was crying frequently. Come on, this is so anxious for a mother like her.

Mei Xiang shook her head like a rattle and tried her best to stop crying, but the more she wanted to stop, the more she felt sad and wronged, and the tears fell down like they didn't want money.It hit the ground in a mess, but Mei Xiangniang frowned in anxiety, what's going on, girl, why are you crying?
Seeing this, Grandma Mei Xiang broke the secret. "Mei Xiangniang, don't worry. With Mei Xiang's temper, who would dare to bully her? She must be feeling unaccustomed to being in her husband's house, and she misses her mother's house. All newly married daughters are like this, so don't worry about it. It's been a long time. Don’t get used to it. Mei Xiang, don’t cry anymore. You are married to this village. Even if you follow my grandson-in-law to go to other places to go to work in the future, you will always come back during the Chinese New Year. You should stop crying and tell my grandson-in-law to listen It's not good."

Grandma Mei Xiang persuaded her so much, not to mention that Mei Xiang stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and nodded. "Well, I get it, grandma. Although I know this is the way it is said, I just can't stop it." Hey, after this time, she is completely from Qiusong's family, and the married daughter threw it out. Water, in the future, the natal family will only be the natal family.

While eating at noon, the careful Qiu Song noticed that Mei Xiang's eye circles were red, and asked her what was wrong in a low voice, but Mei Xiang faltered and said that sand had gotten into her eyes.Qiu Songsui didn't ask any further questions, presumably it was Mei Xiang who went back to her mother's house and felt sore and cried.She was afraid that he would be unhappy, so she didn't tell the truth.

In fact, Qiu Song didn't understand that after Mei Xiang married him, she would be a member of his family, and her natal family could only be regarded as her natal family.This little girl definitely felt that she was not used to it, so she cried.How could he not understand this feeling?
At the banquet, Qiu Song frequently gave Mei Xiang her favorite rabbit meat, eggplant and loofah to eat.When Mei Xiang's parents saw each other, they all felt at ease.This son-in-law definitely did not pick the wrong person, he treated his daughter very well!Mei Xiang also felt Qiu Song's concern, and felt very comforted in her heart.All of a sudden, she had a feeling that it was a blessing in disguise.

Now that I am about to leave my parents, I feel a little bit reluctant and uncomfortable in my heart.But there is such a man who loves her and pities her by her side, this is probably a blessing that she will not be able to cultivate in several lifetimes, what is there for her to be dissatisfied with what she lost?

After lunch, Mei Xiangniang was still reluctant to let her daughter and son-in-law go, so she left them for dinner.Mrs. Han has looked around in the yard several times, but she didn't see Qiu Song and Mei Xiang. Just when she was puzzled, she heard Xu Nanshan say: "Oh, don't wait here, go and cook. I'm so hungry! I think my mother-in-law couldn't bear to part with her daughter and son-in-law, and kept Qiusong and the others to have dinner at his house, so we shouldn't wait any longer."

It was only at this moment that Han Shi suddenly realized that the girl who had been fed for more than ten years was married to their family like this, she must be reluctant in her heart, and she must keep them at home to eat a few more meals to be enough!After Han shi figured it out, she didn't worry about it any more. She picked loofah cucumbers from the vegetable garden and pulled a basket of water spinach.In the evening, I am going to make something simple and make do with it.Just make loofah fried meat, cold cucumber and fried water spinach.These days, Qiusong got married, and the family ate a lot of fish and meat. Han only felt that his stomach was full of meat, and he wanted to eat some vegetables.

It wasn't until the sun set and the moon was about to climb into the night sky that Qiusong and his wife, who had had enough to eat and drink, bid farewell to Mei Xiang's natal family.The two held hands and walked side by side in the slightly warm evening wind.The silkworms in summer screamed loudly, and the frogs in the pond gave a long and short "croak".The fragrance of rice flowers blows gently with the evening wind, it really means listening to the sound of frogs and the fragrance of rice flowers to say a good year.Summer nights are always so lively!
"Look, where are the fireflies!" Mei Xiang jumped up to catch them, but the fireflies didn't just stand still and wait for Mei Xiang to catch them.The firefly flew away before Mei Xiang, and Mei Xiang was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot.Qiu Song saw that it was funny, winked at Mei Xiang, and said, "Give me the handkerchief, and I'll catch it for you."
