Zhao Lanxiang finally snatched the towel from He Songbai's hand, her voice low.
"Don't look at it, it's ugly."
She lowered her head to look at the marks left on her stomach, where the stretch marks made it difficult for her to speak.
He Songbai looked at her belly, which was covered up at first, but was exposed generously in the end, with deep thought in his eyes. He squatted down, washed the towel again and wrung it dry, and wiped it one by one on her body.
"It's not ugly," he said.
"These are the medals of merit you left for Tangtang and Dahai."
His thumb rubbed her belly, wiped it carefully and earnestly, and leaned down to kiss her dodging gaze.
But this did not comfort Zhao Lanxiang, she still drooped her head.
He Songbai coughed lightly, and the girl in front of him really loved beauty, he knew from the moment he talked to the object. Back then, she would rather spend several times more effort doing chores than hoeing the ground under the scorching sun. After going to the countryside for a year, everyone else looks like a peasant, but she is the only one who has been raised for nothing.
He said seriously: "You are still young, and it will gradually disappear if you take a good rest."
"Don't worry, you're still so good-looking. I still like it so much..."
Although Zhao Lanxiang felt awkward in her heart, after listening to the man's sweet words, the stagnant anger in her chest dissipated a lot. During pregnancy, he relied on two lips to make her happy, and now he is good at confinement.
He Songbai changed her into clean clothes, and as soon as the clothes were put on, her milk overflowed.
He stared at the wet trace, his throat was dry and hoarse, and his voice was tight and said: "I-I'll take Tangtang over here."
After he finished speaking, he disappeared into the room in a blink of an eye, looking slightly embarrassed.
Zhao Lanxiang wrapped her clothes and smiled lightly.
…
When the child was about to be a full moon, Feng Lian finally took time off to visit her daughter. There was also Xiao Huzi who came to the country with him. It was very strange for him to walk on the road in the country. His black eyes kept looking at him. The buffalo, the chickens and ducks roaming in the fields made him extremely rare.
Carrying the rattle and bell he used to play with, he walked all the way and asked, "Is my sister really here?"
"It doesn't look like someone lives here, it's a bit like the paradise written in the book."
"But living here is to eat grass and drink dew."
Li Dali came to pick up their mother and son, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard Xiao Huzi's childish words.
He said: "There is meat to eat. The country is like this. It is relatively poor. It is not as fun as the city, and the houses are not as dense as the city. The road is not easy to walk, and it takes a long time to get there."
"Your name is Xiaohuzi, isn't it, how is your uncle carrying you?"
Xiaohuzi turned his head and said no. He was deeply influenced by his grandfather's military style, and insisted on finishing his own affairs without dragging others down. He puffed out his cheeks and insisted, walking deep and shallow to his brother-in-law's house.
The moment he saw Zhao Lanxiang, his eyes were red.
"Big girl, so you live in such a remote place."
Zhao Lanxiang was extremely surprised when she saw her own mother and her younger brother, and the joy in her heart could not be restrained. She hugged Xiaohuzi and hugged him, she asked, "Why are you here, don't you go to school?"
Xiao Huzi said with a sincere expression: "We have just finished the mid-term exam, and we need to properly combine work and rest."
Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, and she nodded his nose, "Your idiom is really good, Dad didn't make much effort."
"Where's the little nephew and the little niece, I want to see them."
Xiaohuzi said and ran to his brother-in-law. He followed his brother-in-law into the house, took off his shoes and rubbed against the big bed. The two little dumplings looked at him with bright eyes, and they were very curious about the little tiger who suddenly appeared.
The little guy stared at the two pink and tender dumplings. The blood kinship had a wonderful effect at this moment. For the first time, he had a strong sense of responsibility as an uncle in his heart.
Zhao Lanxiang also walked into the house, worried that his younger brother would make the baby cry because of his rough hands and feet. However, when she got close, she heard Xiao Huzi gently ringing the bell and singing nursery rhymes with his eyes closed.
"Little Swallow, wear floral clothes and fly here every spring..."
He brought the bell that he had played with since childhood. The bell was tied with a long ribbon and red string, which attracted the attention of the two little dumplings.
Xiaohuzi lowered his head and kissed Tangtang, and then kissed the sea, his childish white and tender face filled with a touch of excited shyness, his mouth that had just changed his teeth was tightly pursed, he smiled softly, and said proudly:
"They like me."
Zhao Lanxiang touched his brother's sweaty back, and said, "You're exhausted from the long journey. Let's drink some sour plum soup to quench your thirst."
"What would you like to eat tonight?"
Xiaohuzi heard the sour plum soup, his eyes were like lamps being polished, and he heard his sister ask what he wanted to eat, and he was bubbling with happiness. He rolled over on the bed, dancing with joy.
"I want mashed potatoes, squirrel mandarin fish, and sweet and sour pork ribs!"
Zhao Lanxiang called He Songbai and asked him to go back to the fish pond raised by the brigade to catch a mandarin fish. Now there is no shortage of supplies like before. Although the fish ponds in the brigade are still raised collectively, they adhere to the principle of "what is paid to the country, and the rest is owned by oneself". Everyone who wants to drink some meat to satisfy their cravings can also eat them with money.
As for the potatoes are grown by themselves, and the ribs are also produced by themselves, it is easier to eat them. Seasonal vegetables are just a handful in the ground, and the variety is quite rich. It's very tasty, very tender.
He Songbai made dinner by himself. He went out to catch fish for a long time before returning home. When he came back, he had a heavy net in his hand.
After being tortured by his wife's picky eaters during pregnancy and confinement, He Songbai's craftsmanship has been tempered to a higher level. His mother-in-law came to the country specially. It was the first time he came to visit, and he attached great importance to it. In addition to the three dishes Xiaohuzi ordered himself, he also added two dishes: steamed crab and pickled fish.
Crabs are artificially stocked hairy crabs in the lake. The scented sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in August. The crabs are plump and moist. He and Zhao Lanxiang both like to eat them. It's okay to give her something to eat.
Several large dishes were brought up by him one by one. Feng Lian looked at her son-in-law who was in charge of the housework, and said with a smile, "It's hard work, Brother Bo, sit down and eat."
The in-laws' grandmother dropped the chopsticks first, and Feng Lian started to eat. The lettuce, which was the first to pick up a pair of chopsticks, made a crunching sound when it was bitten. It was extremely crunchy, tender and crunchy. Freshly picked from the ground, it tasted different.
Zhao Lanxiang sandwiched ribs for his younger brother, "Eat more, I finally came here, and I have enough to eat."
Little Huzi nibbled at seven or eight bones hard, biting at the crispy bones, as if the aroma of the meat had penetrated into the bone marrow.
He Songbai peeled the crab shell for his wife, dug out the fat and oily crab roe and sent it to her bowl, "Eat it, you have read it for a long time."
Feng Lian watched the couple while eating, and saw that her son-in-law took care of her daughter like this, not to mention taking care of her children, and even taking crabs off the dinner table for her daughter to eat. In less than a year, their daughter quickly got engaged, got married, got pregnant, and had a child. A series of actions made both of them bewildered, and they have not yet responded. It's impossible not to worry.
In less than a year, they already had two grandchildren under their knees.
Feng Lian was instructed by her husband to "polish her eyes sharply" and closely observe the situation of her son-in-law's family.
Seeing all this now, Feng Lian's dissatisfaction has disappeared, and she is now extremely satisfied with her son-in-law.
The He family's people are also very easy-going. The He family's son-in-law went to the train station to pick them up early. When they got home, the He family eldest sister was busy carrying tea and water, greeting her, and telling her all the interesting things about her daughter coming home to give birth. listen.
He Songbai also expressed his intention to keep the room clean and spotless a few days ago, smoked wormwood every day to get rid of mosquitoes, and installed screens on the windows. When the weather is hot, insects like to pick children to bite. Make sure your mother-in-law is comfortable.
After dinner, when everyone gathered for a chat, He Songbai took the sea out to his mother-in-law.
Although the sea is young, he is very well-behaved and quiet. He can sleep peacefully in the arms of others. He Songbai often shows off the sea.
But the daughter Tangtang can't. She is lively and domineering. She only likes to hug her parents, and she can cry for a while when she hugs a stranger. She also loves to get together with the sea, and she would cry when the sea disappeared.
Feng Lian looked at the white and tender sea in her arms, and then looked at Tang Tang in her son-in-law's arms, which was extremely rare.
She said: "Da Hai looks like a big girl and was carved out of the same mold before. He is so delicate, I thought he was a girl."
"Tang Tang is also very beautiful, with big and smart eyes, and a tall and straight nose."
As she said that, she touched Tangtang, and Tangtang blinked, her black and white eyes were like glass beads, so beautiful that they were pitiful.
Feng Lian liked her granddaughter even more. Seeing her heart melted, she was amazed: "This child is so handsome, it will be enough to wait until she grows up to be more lovable."
After she finished speaking, she did not forget to shake the peaceful sea in her arms and looked down at him: "You too."
The sea burped at the right time, softening Feng Lian's mother's heart, softening into a pool of water.
It's really time for Zhao Yongqing to come to the country and let him see his own grandson and granddaughter with his own eyes, and make sure his heart softens. Being able to give birth to such a painful grandson, Feng Lian has no grudge against her daughter's quick marriage. If it weren't for such a quick action, how could I hold these two little babies.
He Songbai smiled, took the child back to his wife to breastfeed, and said goodbye to his mother-in-law.
"Mom, you live next door to us. If you have something to do at night, call me."
Grandma Li called her grandson at the right time in the room, "Brother Bo, come here."
He Songbai heard the words and walked to his grandmother.
Grandma Li pondered: "Find another day, go and dig up all the stone paintings and calligraphy in our family. It is rare for my in-laws to come to the country, so I have to give some gifts in return."
"When you got married, they just wanted to accept some dowry gifts. Your father-in-law supported the wedding ceremony."
He Songbai heard the words and recalled the extremely grand wedding a year ago, which was unprecedented in recent years. Thanks to his thick skin, he was able to take it calmly. He accepted it at the time, thinking about returning it elsewhere in the future. But today Grandma put down her words, and he smiled and replied, "Okay."
Grandma's idea is very simple, but it is also true. To send some jade beads that my father-in-law likes is just to do what I like, just enough to scratch his itch. Their treasures will be invaluable rarities in the future! Not shabby at all.
The author has something to say: *
