take a wife to support the family

Chapter 358

The backyard of Song Haonian's house is completed, and he chooses an auspicious day to move the old couple of Li Mi craftsman from Liushan Village to the town to spend some time with his daughter and son-in-law.

Song Xiuxiu also came to help when the house was being built. She had to work on the Liu family farm every day, because she was hardworking and willing to work, and she was never dismissed in the past two years.There is no time during the day, and she can only come back once the sun sets in the afternoon, and said: "I can't do anything else, sweeping the floor and washing dishes in the head office."

Like a spinning top, she supported a family by herself, spinning on its axis for two years, and even Iron Man couldn't hold it up. Fortunately, she seemed to be in good spirits, but she was extremely skinny.

She had been here for two days, but Lily didn't dare to call her too tired, so when she saw her coming, she hurriedly asked, "Have you eaten?"

Song Xiuxiu said that she ate, but unexpectedly someone in front of her knew the details, and sighed: "You are living too hard now, is that also called eating?"

It turned out that she boiled a pot of porridge every morning, ate half of the pot, took Yuanyuan to the farm, entrusted Yuanyuan to others, and did the work by herself. Reheat the remaining half pot of rice to eat.

She was also reluctant to use oil lamps, and even smeared food into her mouth, which made people feel miserable.

Now Song Xiuxiu is more pitiful than she was before, Lily hurriedly went to the kitchen to fetch a bowl of untouched shredded mushroom and chicken noodles: "I saved it for your second brother, he is not hungry at night, you eat first."

Song Xiuxiu was not willing to ask: "I came to help, if I didn't help, I didn't say anything, but I became a master who wanted to eat."

"You eat first, otherwise how can you have the strength to wash the pot? And it's not a loss to your second brother." Lily pressed Song Xiuxiu hard after eating the noodles, and then said to her, "Bring me Yuanyuan tomorrow, if you really know how to do it." Talk to me, I haven't seen her yet."

Song Xiuxiu's throat was choked up, the noodles were made so chewy, and the noodle soup was so delicious and hot that she was about to cry.Fortunately, the light was not very good at night, Lily saw her red eyes and pretended not to see them, and finally saved her face.

On the second day, she did clean up Yuanyuan and brought her back. The child has no heart, and she was a little timid at first, but when she saw that everyone was kind, there was delicious food, and the room was cool, she soon became like the truth. After playing well, Lily asked Xing'er to take the two younger ones, Xing'er, the older sister, was the most willing to take care of things, so she agreed.

Song Xiuxiu ran to Song Haonian's house, naturally she couldn't hide it from others, the first one, Mrs. Dong, was dissatisfied, it just so happened that Jin Bao didn't come home until the moon was out playing outside, Mrs. Dong shouted at the door for a long time, but Jin Bao didn't come back.

As soon as Jin Bao came home, she beat her son and cursed through the wall: "I don't let go of my own affairs at all, and the family runs outside all day long. Is that your real father or your real grandfather outside?"

Song Xiuxiu was trembling with anger, but she couldn't answer: Song Haonian and Li Baihe were willing to treat her well, it was because of their affection, she didn't have the face to really admit that she was her brother-in-law.

Her own brothers and sister-in-law not only refused to help her at all, but even scolded her for not being home.

Song Xiuxiu was furious, but she had nothing to do with Dong.Yuanyuan asked her again, "What do you mean being outside?"

Song Xiuxiu hurriedly covered Yuanyuan's ears, and when Dong's voice was tired and stopped talking, she let go and said, "From now on, you can only learn from your second concubine, and you are not allowed to learn from that wild thing next door."

Yuanyuan nodded half-understandable, her eldest aunt next door would always make a long face every time she saw her, Yuanyuan didn't like her very much, so she didn't want to imitate her.

Song Xiuxiu was so tired that her whole body ached, she fetched water to wipe Niu's body, it was very hot, and the bed sores on Niu's body were so scary that she didn't dare to let Yuanyuan enter the house to see.

While scrubbing, she said, "I asked, and it really wasn't his own brother who didn't allow him to drive him back. He just wanted to spend a few years of leisure in the countryside. Our family was sorry for him, mother, you will never be able to see him again." Think about the good of others, don't always think about making people bad luck."

Niu made a strange noise from her throat, which sounded very frightening at night. After Song Xiuxiu cleaned up for her, she took advantage of the moonlight to come out to change Yuanyuan's dirty clothes.

Yuanyuan rolled on the bed, laughed and said, "Mom, I'm going to play with my brother tomorrow!"

Song Xiuxiu smiled and said: "Okay, you listen to your second concubine, she is willing to play with you."

After the clothes were washed and dried, Qingliu Town had already sunk into silence and darkness. Song Xiuxiu had a sore back and a sore back. She knew that life was going to be tough, but she had to grit her teeth and endure it—most of her hard days were made by herself.

Yuanyuan nestled in her arms and smacked her mouth, Song Xiuxiu hugged Yuanyuan and said to herself: Mother, you are the only one in this life.As soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep.

More than half of the people who helped Song Haonian to repair the house were dragged away by Qingsong to help him repair the house.

The house of the Li family had to be demolished first. When repairing houses in the countryside, the demolished wood was often reused. Firstly, it saved money, and secondly, it was not wasted.

The original wood used by the Li family to build the house was ordinary, and it had rotted badly over the past few decades. It could no longer be used on the new house. At most two pigpens were built, and the wood, bricks and tiles of the new house had to be brought up by mules from the bottom of the mountain. It's much more troublesome than Song Haonian's here.

Qingsong ran to the county town a few times, saw Liu Yueniang, and told her about the new house that was going to be built: "When we get married, we will always live in a new house."

Yueniang said: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, the old house is also worth it." Yueniang knew that Qingsong's marriage leave is only one year, and the young couple will go to the capital in the spring of next year, and the renovated house won't last long.

Yueniang also has another plan, "It is for this year and a half, if living in the mountains is not comfortable, just go back here and live."

Shopkeeper Liu kept only her old daughter by her side, her eyes hurt like eyeballs, and she never mentioned the water spilled by the married daughter, wishing her daughter and son-in-law would live at home.

Qingsong said with a smile: "You think well, I am a man, I don't like soft food, don't tell me, on the day of marriage, I can't lose your face. In my house, not to mention that my father-in-law is reluctant to part with it, even if I see it, I can’t wait to give myself a big meal.”

Yueniang thought so, so she happily agreed, and asked him what was lacking in the house, but if there is anything that is not in hand, just take it from here.

Although she is two years older than Qingsong, because she has always been favored and her youngest daughter loves Jiaojiao, she looks about the same age as Qingsong.Qingsong held her back and said: "Don't be busy, I'm just here to talk to you, but after my parents come to celebrate tomorrow, I'm afraid it won't be easy to see each other."

Yueniang blushed with shame, and whispered, "Let go!"

Qingsong is still saying: "My wife is not bad, but she has a bad temper, and she speaks freely. If she says something unpleasant, just look at me and don't bother with her."

"She's an old man, so I'll let her go." Yueniang didn't know how powerful Zhu Shi was, so she pulled her hand from Qingsong's palm, "I respect her, so naturally she has no reason to be mean to me."

Qingsong thought to herself, if my mother was a reasonable person, how could I tell you these things?She smiled wryly and said: "If you think this way, I'm afraid you will suffer in my mother's hands. Let me tell you the truth, when you marry me, don't think of being a virtuous wife first. The first important thing is not to be bullied by my mother."

He is the son of the Zhu family, and it is only right and proper to respect his own mother. If you marry a daughter-in-law to help his mother, it is not the way to be a human being: Whose daughter-in-law was not raised by her parents, why should she come to your house to suffer?

The two of them talked affectionately, not wanting Shopkeeper Liu to be worried, and afraid that Li Qingsong would treat his daughter lightly, so they quietly walked outside the door to listen, and happened to hear these few words, they couldn't help nodding secretly: As long as the son-in-law knows clearly, he is the mother-in-law Don't be afraid to be fierce.

Shopkeeper Liu slipped away again, not letting the two young men in the room notice that he had come.

But it is said that Carpenter Li and Mrs. Zhu moved to the row of houses behind Song Haonian's house, and they lived in a very spacious room.I also saw that the room next door was locked, and when I asked my daughter, Lily said that there were some boxes and cages in it, such as the pearls, jade and coral agate gifted by Princess Xin, which scared the old couple's mouth and legs.

Carpenter Li has never been so close to gold and silver treasures in his life, and he couldn't sleep for half the night, so he went to Song Haonian and said within two days: "Master, put the black tiger in the backyard at night from now on."

Heihu is now a big dog, with smooth fur and a majestic appearance. Once he stands there, people with ghosts in their hearts dare not approach him.

Song Haonian has tamed it, unless it encounters a thief, otherwise it is absolutely forbidden to bite, so the black tiger is very majestic, and has a very good temper in front of the little baby.Ruzhen is not as tall as it. Ruzhen stumbles and walks in the yard every day, and Heihu follows behind. When she sees that she is about to fall, he quickly goes up to support her.

Ruzhen, this kid wanted to ride the black tiger, but Song Haonian refused: "The dog's back is not strong, if you ride it once, our black tiger should be injured."

At the end, put a cushion on the back of the big sheep, so that Ruzhen can ride for a while.Qingsong laughed loudly when he saw it: "When I was young, I was riding a pig, and I fell into the gills. My nephew is like an uncle. If it is true, don't fall."

Yuanyuan seems to be one year older than Zhenzhen, and she is not much taller than him, and Ruzhen's hands are not heavy when she holds her in her arms. Song Haonian simply asked her and Ruzhen to take turns riding sheep.

No one else said anything, but Mrs. Zhu murmured: "That's not my own child, but someone else's daughter, my son-in-law is very expensive, and when I look back carefully, her mother is relying on you again."

Lily said: "Tomorrow I'm going to Liu's house to give a gift, you always check to see if the gifts are all ready, and if there is anything to add, add it while it's still early."

The presents that were ordered were all bought by Qingsong with her own salary, Mrs. Zhu had long been envious of Lily's boxes and cages - brought out from the palace, it must be a great treasure!
Hearing Lily said to add something, Mrs. Zhu immediately said: "In my opinion, all other hanging fabrics and other things are all in place, but this golden hairpin is lighter. Big girl, buy a heavier one for your brother, and it will look better. .”

The golden hairpins are only two or two, and they are made into a cloud, which is not gorgeous.Lily has so many good hairpins inlaid with silk and treasures, it's easy to find a replacement, if it weren't for Mrs. Zhu who is always thinking about it, Qingsong doesn't need to go outside to buy gifts, she can just find them from her library.

But Zhu's eyes were red and he was thinking about it, even Qingsong helped Lily defend her, Lily pretended not to hear her, smiled and said to Song Haonian: "Don't mess with the sheep, bring the two of them back to eat egg custard."

Mrs. Zhu bumped into a soft nail, and went back to her own room in embarrassment.
