Peasant woman's day

Chapter 35

Song's mother had a slight smile on her face: "This is Furong. I've heard people mention it, but I haven't seen it. Now that I see it, it really deserves its reputation. Mother-in-law, then I'll go in and see my daughter." Mother Song held the skirt with one hand, stroked her hair with the other, and walked in with a serious face.

Mrs. Lin is a smart person. Mrs. Song went into the house, and Mrs. Lin was busy with Fu Rong.Gu Qingchen was left behind by old Guo Tou, and Yuanyuan was also carried by Song Wen.As soon as she entered the room, Mrs. Lin lowered her voice and said, "What's going on? How could her mother be at odds with you again?"

"Mother, it's okay. Auntie Song looks reasonable, probably because of her character." On the happy day, Furong didn't want to make Lin's unhappy, and besides, it was just her own speculation, so she didn't have to hurt her kindness. , it seems that Song's mother and herself are stingy.

Seeing that Furong's eyes were clear, Lin seemed to be hiding something from her.After thinking about it, this is only the first time Furong met Song's mother, and they just met, so there was so much friction.If Song Chunhua went home and said something, they would not be able to guess.Mrs. Lin just looked at the gifts brought by Furong. Besides the usual ones, there were two sets of children's clothes, old and new, a pair of tiger-toed shoes, and a safety lock.Lin picked up some things, pushed Furong out, and went to Song Chunhua's room.

Fu Rong went in with a smile, carrying the onions and dates and chestnuts rolled with red silk thread, which were actually tied to the peach branches: "Sister-in-law, congratulations to you! Congratulations."

Mother Song glanced at the fresh peach branches, the leaves were still emerald green, without any signs of decay, and her face looked much better.Song Chunhua's gaze was attracted by the big red cloth and several baskets covered by the red cloth brought by Furong.Furong picked up a basket with a smile: "This is a gift from my mother-in-law who heard about my sister-in-law's happy event. Since the autumn harvest is coming soon, and there are two children at home, I really can't leave. She will definitely come when the sun is full and the moon is full. This is a gift for her birth, and this basket is a gift for her third baptism."

Song Chunhua leaned on the pillow with a smile all over her face: "Sister Furong, you must be tired from your journey early in the morning. Please sit down."

"Sister!" Guo Dali's voice came from the door.Everyone looked back, Guo Dali came in with tea on a tray.Fu Rong quickly went up to pick it up, and said with a smile: "Brother treats me as a guest. Now everyone in this room is the owner. Brother, don't be too busy."

Guo Dali scratched his head in embarrassment: "This is the crucian carp soup for my daughter-in-law. The midwife said to drink it while it's hot." He said, his face burned into a monkey's ass.

Only now did Song's mother smile, and went forward to bring the bowl over.Mrs. Lin wanted to come and feed her, but Mother Song still insisted, and Mrs. Lin stopped arguing with her, and turned to Guo Dali and said, "Put that peach branch at the door, right next to the raised red cloth. it is good."

Guo Dali agreed, but didn't move for a long time, then patted his head again: "Mother, I want to see that kid, I'm really worried about it."

Song Chunhua spat: "Look at your worthless appearance." Even so, there was a smug smile on his face, and he turned around and picked up the child and handed it to Mrs. Lin.Guo Dali let out a smirk, leaned over to take a closer look, stretched out his hand to touch it, but didn't dare, so he just asked, "Why is he still sleeping and doesn't open his eyes to look at his father?"

"Look at how anxious you are, how can there be such a small child who opens his eyes to play with you." Lin said to him with a smile.Fu Rong let out a chuckle, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief.Mrs. Song also smiled, and Mother Song's expression softened a lot.

It was hot outside, so I didn't dare to take the child out, and put a basin of well water in the corner of the house to cool down.The familiar aunts and sisters-in-laws all came to see.It's not easy for men to come in, not even Gu Qingchen.The room was buzzing and buzzing all the time.Furong saw that Song Chunhua's voice became louder, and she was joking with many people, she looked like a polite governor, she thought to herself: I don't know if it's really changed, or if the present made her feel better.

It was noon, and there were six tables outside. The relatives of the Song family came today, Mother Song and her two daughters.When Fu Rong followed Mrs. Lin to put gifts in her room, she saw a big box piled up on the wall, and she couldn't help showing doubts.Lin said: "That's the birth gift her mother prepared for her, but it's all in place." Then, Lin's eyes turned to Fu Rong's stomach: "Whenever your stomach moves, I will give it to you." Prepare a bigger gift."

Fu Rong was very embarrassed when she said something, she took Lin's arm and shook it.Seeing her acting like a baby, Mrs. Lin loved her in her heart, and knew that there was no need to rush this matter, so she kept her mouth shut, and the mother and daughter went out.

The dishes at noon were good, including chicken and fish, and a large plate of stir-fried fatty pork slices with dried beans and long beans, which made everyone feast on it.Furong naturally followed Mrs. Lin at the table with Mrs. Song.In the courtyard, Aunt Guo's voice was the loudest, as if she was the master.Lin Shi is happy today and doesn't care about her.Mrs. Lin specially invited Mrs. Shao, the most famous cook in the neighboring village, to take care of the meal. Everyone praised the meal and said it was delicious. Lin's face smiled brightly.It's quite a comfortable meal.

The custom in the village here is to treat guests for a meal.And it's the season of threshing millet, and the strong laborers have to go to the fields to work, and the night may be late, so they generally don't eat the evening meal.After eating at noon, the men rested for a while and went to the fields. Gu Qingchen and Yuanyuan followed Old Guo.

The cooks are used to picking up unfinished dishes and putting them in a clean wooden basin.There were a few acquaintances sitting and chatting in the yard, and they looked bad when they were cleaning up outside. Mrs. Lin invited them into the house, and Fu Rong went to the kitchen to bring some hot water out, and went to Mrs. Lin’s house. Bring tea in the room to make tea.

Fu Rong went over with tea, and everyone praised Fu Rong again, but Fu Rong just bowed her head and did not answer, brazenly accepting everyone's praise.Just as she was talking happily, she suddenly heard Chun Juan'er's voice outside: "Ms. Guo, what are you carrying? Why are you leaving in such a hurry, why don't you go in and sit down?"

After hearing Chunjuan's voice, Furong got up unconsciously and walked out.As soon as she walked to the door, she saw Aunt Guo holding a basket in her hand, being stopped by Chun Juan'er.Chun Juan'er hurriedly greeted Fu Rong: "Girl Rong, why don't you invite Madam to come in and have a seat?"

"No, no, no." Aunt Guo turned around hurriedly, with a smile on her face, "I just went to the field to pick some vegetables, and I passed by here, and came in to ask for some water. Brother Qing is still at home, so I'll go back first Ah." As she spoke, she hid the basket covered with blue cloth behind her back: "I'll go first." As she spoke, she walked quickly to the door.

Chun Juan'er was about to stop her, but Fu Rong had already stopped her: "Sister-in-law Liu, didn't the godmother just say that her cousin and grandson are here? I heard that the child is good. Won't sister-in-law Liu go back and have a look? If so If you don’t want to go back, come in and sit down, you don’t have to bask in the sun.”

"I just came back from home. These are dried plums that my cousin brought from her mother's house. My mother asked me to bring them to you often fresh." Chun Juan'er raised a paper bag and walked up quickly.

Fu Rong pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't answer, she just turned around and entered the room.

Fu Rong talked with everyone for a while, and then everyone left, and Mrs. Lin drove Fu Rong to sleep in the room.Yuanyuan has been sent back by Gu Qingchen, her whole face is covered with mud, her little head is still dozing off bit by bit, her eyes are almost closed.Fu Rong was both angry and funny, and while wiping his face, she said, "Your father will wash your clothes for you today. Who told him to take you to play in the mud."

Gu Qingchen took a shower, changed into the pajama-like pajama-like gown that Fu Rong made for him, and said with a smile: "It's not me, it was brought by his cousin. Father and the others have seen it."

Fu Rong glared at Gu Qingchen, handed the handkerchief to Gu Qingchen, stood up and yawned: "You go and rub it, I'll change his clothes."

Gu Qingchen got up and cleaned out the handkerchief, came in and saw that Furong was holding Yuanyuan who had already put on a clean little dress and fell asleep on the bed.The two heads, one big and one small, were brought together, and even the breathing rate was the same.The round little paw rested next to Furong's mouth.When Gu Qingchen came in, his little slap was still on Fu Rong's face a few times.Gu Qingchen laughed dumbfounded, put the handkerchief aside, went forward, and fell asleep on the other side of Yuanyuan.

Taking a nap in summer, especially in ancient summer, is often easily awakened by heat.Fu Rong felt that the sticky sweat on the back of her neck was uncomfortable. Although her eyelids were still astringent, she opened her eyes and decided to wipe off the sweat before going to sleep.As soon as she got up, she heard a voice from outside: "Sister-in-law Lin, you are a kind person and don't care about this matter. But I have never made such a mistake in my hands. If this reputation spreads, I will How can I mess around? No matter what, I have to prove my innocence. If my apprentice really took it, I will not take sides."

A child about ten years old cried immediately: "Master, I really never took it. I never steal food."

What happened?Fu Rong twisted the veil, wiped her face and neck, pulled her hair up, and opened the door.

"Miss Shao, we all know that you are not such a person. I assure you, I will never spread anything about what happened today." Mrs. Lin handed over a dime, "See if the amount is right."
