Dongmei, who was arranging things in the house, saw Hehua come in, looked at her cheeks with red and swollen finger marks, and exclaimed. She was about to ask who was so bold, but then she thought that besides her fourth girl, I was afraid that no one in the family would be like this, so his expression suddenly became tangled. Hehua has lived here for more than a month. Everyone in the yard likes this little girl, but the fourth girl is a serious master after all, and it is not easy for her to be a slave.
"My slave, I'll get you some ice to apply on..." Dongmei didn't dare to stay too long. She turned around and went out to find ice cubes. She crushed them into pieces and wrapped them in a handkerchief. She carefully put lotus flowers on her cheeks.
"Sister Dongmei, please don't talk about this matter." Hehua said while applying ice to her cheek. No matter if Bo Rong, Qi Jintang or Sun Jianyu knew about it, they might be able to tell Chapter 316: Peony Says Kiss It doesn't matter if anything happens to the eldest brother and Qi Jintang. I can at least try to persuade them, but Sun Jianyu's temper is hard to explain. If the fourth girl says any nonsense, it will be even more troublesome for Sun. The house is in chaos.
Dongmei had also seen Hehua's attitude towards the fourth girl before, and felt that although she was usually kind, she was not temperamental and would be bullied. Unexpectedly, she wanted to calm things down this time, and for a moment she felt that there was something unusual about her. , and then without waiting for Hehua to ask, she said: "The fourth girl has already led the servants away. Should you take a rest first or continue to pack things?"
Hehua raised her finger and pointed at a small bundle beside the bed and said: "I will go back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I have been here for so long, thanks to the care of the mothers and sisters in the yard. In the bundle are a few purses and a little With all my heart, I invite my mother and sisters to have tea and wine, and keep them in mind." I took the purse with me when I left home, and it contained one-third of a small silver lock, although I was afraid that it would be missing for the rest of my life. He will never come to the Sun family again, but the eldest brother is afraid that he will follow Sun Jianyu in the future, and he must take care of the relationship no matter what.
Dongmei declined without thinking: "The girl has always been very good to us. How dare I ask for any reward if I haven't taken good care of the girl?"
"It's not for you, how can you just push it away?" Hehua said angrily, "There's nothing valuable, just a souvenir of our relationship. I don't need anyone to wait on you, so go and have a rest!" "
Lotus dismissed the winter plums and threw the handkerchief wrapped in ice into the basin. Although her cheeks were still a little burning, she was still menstruating after all. She was still young and she was afraid of causing any problems if she used ice. She never wanted to experience menstrual cramps once a month.
"Is Lotus in the house?" Qi Jintang knocked on the door outside.
Hehua was startled and subconsciously covered her cheeks with her hands, but then she said: "Oh, Brother Jinzin, is something wrong? I didn't sleep well last night and I'm still lying on my side!"
"Nothing, I'm going out to buy some things, and I'm asking you if there's anything you want me to bring back." Qi Jintang originally wanted to ask He Hua to go with him, but thinking that she hadn't slept well, he opened his mouth and changed his words.
"I've bought everything here. Brother Jintang, why don't you go back to your hometown with your parents?" Hehua couldn't help but ask.
"Dad has to go back to Beijing to report on his work. I'm afraid he won't be able to go back for a while. I'll go back with you. We also need to tidy up the house." Qi Jintang chatted with He Hua for a few words, then saw Dong Mei holding this The small porcelain box came in. When he saw himself, he subconsciously hid the things in his hands behind his back.
Qi Jintang frowned slightly, but his good upbringing prevented him from asking too many questions, so he nodded slightly and left. After Dongmei entered the room, he looked back at Hehua's door with some worry.
Hehua hid in the room for two days, citing discomfort. The ointment Dongmei brought was very effective and after applying it a few times, there was no trace left. Sun Jianyu sent the boy to inform him of the day of returning home, and Hehua finally felt at ease. The ground showed a smile. Although there was still another month of hard work, thinking that I would be able to see my long-missed relatives when I went back, my mood suddenly felt as good as the sunny weather outside.
The luggage back home was much larger than when we came here. Fortunately, the Sun family packed more than a dozen cars with things to transport to the north. The few boxes on the Hehua side suddenly became less conspicuous.
Since the conversation started that night, Hehua has not seen Sun Jianyu again. It was not until she was about to set off that she saw him standing beside the horse, seemingly much thinner than before.
"Brother Jianyu!" Hehua bravely went up to say hello, without even daring to raise his eyelids, he turned around and took Dongmei's hand to get into the carriage.
The walk on the road was very smooth. The weather was getting hotter day by day, but it was much more comfortable than it was in winter. Although it was a little stuffy inside the car, the road was flat and not slippery after all, and there was no biting cold wind outside. There is no need to light the stove that makes Lotus nervous.
Seeing that he is getting closer and closer to home, Hehua's mood is getting better and better, but he can't help but feel anxious, wishing he could put on his wings and fly home.
When they were still four or five days away from Qijia Village, both the Sun family and Qi Jintang sent people home to report the news. Naturally, Qi Jintang would not forget to ask his servants to send a safe message to the Hehua family, and said Approximate time to arrive home.
Mrs. Fang was so happy when she got the news that her son and daughter were coming back that she didn't know what to do. She spent the past few days at home taking out and washing bedding and drying pillows and quilts. If Zhu Yongxin hadn't stopped her, she would have had to re-wallpaper the whole house.
On the first day, Zhu Yongxin was sent into the city to buy vegetables and cooked food. As soon as it dawned that day, he went to the fields and pinched all the fresh vegetable seedlings, just waiting for the children to get home and eat the food at home.
Boning and Shuanzi were too excited to sleep the night before. In the morning, they wanted to hug Fang and think about not going to school today. In the end, each of them was rewarded with a chestnut, and then they were sent away with reluctance. School.
After cleaning the yard, washing vegetables, and chopping vegetables, Mrs. Fang finished all the work, and then she began to run anxiously to the door again and again to see why the person hadn't come back yet.
Zhu Yongxin was sitting in the yard and smoking peacefully, but he couldn't sit still because of her interference. He stood up and said, "I'll go to the entrance of the village to greet you."
Xiaoxiu hugged Lizi, coaxing the child and comforting Mrs. Fang: "Mom, since I said I would arrive today, there must be no problem. Don't worry, sit down and wait for a while!"
Mrs. Fang kept saying yes, but her butt could not sit on the edge of the kang. In the end, Baoer woke up and started crying in the room, which distracted Mrs. Fang's attention.
He Hua and others arrived at home before lunch. Borong helped Zhu Yongxin pack his luggage and get out of the car. He Hua jumped directly into Fang's arms: "Mom, I miss you so much!"
Fang Zhong touched her daughter up and down a few times, and when she saw that she was not losing weight or suffering from hardship, she said with red eyes: "It's good when you're back, it's good when you're back, hurry up and wash your face and hands in the house, let's cook and start cooking right away. .”
Xiao Xiu saw He Hua hugging Fang and not wanting to let go, so she put the chestnuts on the kang in the room and told Bao'er to watch them carefully. She put on her apron and said, "Mom, you and He Hua go into the house to talk, and I'll go cook." That’s it.”
Bo Rong moved He Hua's things to the west room, moved his own things back into the house, went to the well to fetch water and washed his hands and face randomly, and then went to the kitchen to talk to Xiao Xiu.
Xiaoxiu's hands were busy cooking, but her eyes were staring at Bo Rong for a long time. She saw that although he was a little thinner, it didn't seem like he was working hard, but he was stronger. She felt relieved and pushed Bo Rong away. He put his hands on his waist and said with a blushing face: "I'm cooking here. You go inside first to talk to your mother. Your son and daughter are both in the room on the kang!"
Only then did Borong let go, whispered a few words into her ear, got up and went into the house.
In a moment, Bonin and Shuan Zi ran back from outside like a storm, and rushed into the back room, sweating profusely.
"Lotus!"
"Second sister!"
Hehua caught the bolt that was rushing towards her, and was thrown back by the impact. He steadied himself and looked up and down: "The boy has grown taller!" Then he looked up at Bonin, a twelve-year-old little fart. The child is now half a head taller than him, and his eyes are dancing with joy, but he has a self-control expression on his face, as if he feels that this kind of coquettish behavior only belongs to children like Shuanzi.
Muttering something like a little brat in her heart, Hehua completely forgot that she was actually just a twelve-year-old girl, but seeing the whole family rejoicing, she still felt as sweet as if she had been soaked in honey. It's greasy but not boring.
Although it was a reunion after a long separation, after they expressed their longings for each other, Hehua couldn't help but asked Bonin and Shuanzi about their homework. When she heard that Bonin had passed the scholar examination this year, she suddenly opened her eyes. His eyes were dumbfounded and he said: "Xiu, Xiucai...isn't it a test every three years? How could it be this year..."
It was rare for Boning to see He Hua show such an expression. He seemed to be very proud and straightened his back and said: "Last year, because the Taoist Master went to Beijing to report on his work, he postponed it for a year and took the exam this year."
"Why didn't you tell me anything before I came to Beijing?" Hehua was a little bit crazy. She actually missed Boning's childbirth examination.
"If I tell you, you will definitely refuse to go to Beijing." Boning said like a young adult, "Besides, my eldest uncle also said that I don't have to worry about taking the child examination. I can just take it casually. .”
Hehua was speechless when he heard the words, and looked at Bonin suspiciously. It was hard to imagine that his uncle, who was usually serious, could say such irresponsible words, even though he was casually taking a test, and he was not a teacher. Sure enough, under Hehua's gaze, Bonin He touched the tip of his nose and corrected: "The last sentence is my own understanding."
"You kid!" He Hua went up and was furious, "How did you do in the exam?"
Xiaoxiu carried the last dish into the house. After hearing this, she said with a smile on her lips: "Bo Ning is so impressive. He passed the examination of our clerkship. The family is very happy. In order to reward him, my eldest uncle even went out of his way to reward him." I gave him a set of good pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and he will go to an academy in the city to study in a month. However, he has not been playful recently, and he goes to the academy every day to study with his uncle!"
Bo Rong reached out and patted his second brother on the shoulder, praising: "Good boy, more capable than my eldest brother."
Lotus raised his hand and patted Bonin on the head and said: "Beware of arrogance and impetuosity, you must know..."
"There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people!" Bonin answered calmly, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"Hey, you kid..." Hehua looked at Bonin's expression and couldn't help but laugh. She stood up and stretched out her hand to give him a hug. She looked at the kid blushing awkwardly. Then he praised in a good mood, "No wonder Mr. Qi said that you are talented. You are indeed extraordinary. It seems that I have to think hard about what gift to give you to congratulate you."
Shuanzi hurriedly hugged Hehua's arm and said, "Second sister, I also study hard."
He Hua pinched his little nose and said, "Don't worry, when did the second sister forget your gift?"
After dinner, the two children were sent to school. Zhu Yongxin went to the old courtyard to deliver a message. Xiaoxiu took the two children back to the house to take a nap. Only then did Lotus calm down and lay on the kang with Fang's mother and daughter, whispering.
Mrs. Fang first rambled on about what happened at home in the past few months. Of course, Jasmine was the one who bore the brunt of it. It was such an uproar when she gave birth to a baby that even Hehua was speechless. But she waited until later to listen. After saying that Jiang Shiyan moved into his home despite his family's objections, and finally forced the Jiang family to agree not to take concubines for the time being, Hehua's eyes rolled around a few times, and she thought to herself, the eldest sister has become a mother after getting married, and she is getting better and better now. Why didn't I see that she had such evil thoughts before? However, no matter how much she had thoughts, Jiang Shiyan had to pamper her and follow her in order to succeed. It seemed that she didn't have to worry about her eldest sister's life for the time being.
He looked up and saw that Ms. Fang was still mumbling with some worry: "Your eldest sister has such a temper. I really worry when I think about it. How can I get along well with my husband's family? It would be great if she had a temperament and temper like yours, you say I gave birth to both of you, so why are you so different in temperament? I don’t know who has her bad temper... "
"Mom, I think the eldest sister and her brother-in-law are living a good life. You don't have to worry so much. Every family has its own way of life. The eldest sister is not a brainless person who doesn't make progress." Hehua comforted her with a few words, cleverly - He led the topic elsewhere, "How are things going with my grandfather and grandma? Where are my aunt and my fourth uncle's house?"
"Your grandfather and grandma are doing well!" Mrs. Fang was quickly diverted, "Your aunt is now busy with two children, and brother Liu's body is much stronger than last year. You haven't had any problems for months, and your aunt is as happy as anything. The younger one doesn't need anyone to worry about, he is very well-behaved. Both Da Mao and Er Mao have entered the academy, but they are really good at it. When you love to be active and have fun, it’s just one child, but with two kids together, it’s really... your fourth aunt’s waist was almost broken by fatigue, and she was diagnosed with pregnancy a few days ago. , she told me that day that the Bodhisattva should bless her and give her a well-behaved daughter, otherwise she would be exhausted."
As she spoke, Mrs. Fang went further, "Bokai and Qiaoran have been in the city. Now Qiaoran is pregnant again. I want to take your baby back and help take care of it, but your brother Bokai refuses." . Sigh, I’m afraid this knot between him and your new aunt will be difficult to untie!”
"What kind of knot?" Hehua was confused and asked strangely, "When my uncle got married, didn't Brother Bokai approve of it? Boyuan also told me that Brother Bokai privately advised him to do it. , you said you can’t let your uncle live alone for the rest of his life, so why did something happen again after he was so good? Isn’t the new aunt not good to Brother Bokai and Boyuan? "
"It's all evil!" Mrs. Fang sighed before remembering that Qiaoran's miscarriage, Hehua had gone to the capital and was not at home, so she said a few words roughly, "Bokai and Qiaoran are back to prepare for the birth." Your grandma celebrated your birthday, but by chance, the child didn’t know she was pregnant. He rushed to work in the morning and misstepped his foot, causing the child to fall. Bo Kai started to argue with your aunt without knowing it, but he almost ended up with her. Your uncle got into a fight, and the two of them said angry words, which became more and more serious as they went back and forth. Bokai also brought your deceased aunt out to talk about it, and the father and son also had a tense argument, although they later found out what happened. After all, Bo Kai went to kowtow to apologize, but after all, he still had knots in his heart that were difficult to untie!"
"..." He Hua was speechless for a while after hearing this. She was in the city at that time, and He Hua saw every detail of Bo Kai's changes after her marriage. Coincidentally, she was indeed a very good daughter-in-law. Illiterate but reasonable, I think it played a great role in soothing and guiding Bokai's previous rebelliousness and injustice. Although this incident was indeed caused by Bokai's recklessness, a man watching his wife's miscarriage, That kind of stimulation would be unbearable for an ordinary person, not to mention that Bo Kai is a person who tends to think about problems to extremes, "Oh, this is all fate!"
After sighing, mother and daughter were silent for a long time. Fang suddenly said: "By the way, there is another happy event. Your sister Shaoyao has announced the marriage."
Hehua was stunned when she heard this. She had really thought about Shaoyao's marriage a few times. In the countryside, there was a strict order of elders and young children, so Shaoyao had to suppress her own marriage before she said it. However, every old person in the village knew about Shaoyao's parents. In addition, Shaoyao had little feet and was very angry. So Hehua always felt that it was very difficult to marry her. Now she heard that Fang Shi told himself this in an understatement. He couldn't react for a while. After a while, he asked: "I wonder which family you are talking about?"
"It's a family in the city. It's a prosperous businessman. But the man is a bit old. He's twenty-four this year. The previous wife died before she even had children. Now they're talking about filling a house, but your mother-in-law I went to check out that house and said it was a good one. Shaoyao was also happy with it. The horoscopes have already been combined and the betrothal gift will be decided in a few days..."
Hehua listened to Fang's words and couldn't help but feel shocked. Shaoyao was only one year older than her, and he was only thirteen now. A twenty-four-year-old man was almost one step older than her, and he was still a step-in-law. Shaoyao actually nodded to such a wedding, which was really hard for Hehua to understand. ! ! !
