What you fear will come true.
You cut out carbs, ate grass (vegetable salads), and finally lost 20 pounds. You spent an hour choosing clothes, an hour putting on makeup, and went to the village entrance to find teacher Tony to do an exquisite hairdo. You are so beautiful that you can't help but admire your face even when looking at a table knife. You fantasize about running into your ex. Is your ex regretting it so much
But it is not true. Your ex often appears when you have gained 20 pounds, are wearing flip-flops and a pajama-style floral cotton skirt, haven't washed your hair for three days, and are eating skewers in a fly-in-the-wall street restaurant. The grilled leeks have gotten stuck in your teeth, and you happen to meet your ex when you use the bamboo skewer to pick out the leeks stuck in your teeth.
At this time, Mu Chun encountered such an embarrassment.
He swore that his daughter really didn't play like this every day, catching shrimps with muddy legs, and she wasn't always black and dirty. But as soon as summer came, his daughter spent half of her time in the water, swimming, diving and fishing. After the summer, she was tanned like a loach, and slowly turned white again in the fall.
My daughter also has her moments of being well-behaved. A Lei has already started to learn to read and can write a few words. Ah, why didn’t Sister Shanwei come back when A Lei was sitting at the desk writing big characters
Just as Muchun was confused and struggling, A Lei walked up to Hu Shanwei with his short, thick, black, fat legs covered in mud. "You must be Sister Shanwei, right? My brother-in-law has a portrait of you in his study. He will give me anything except your portrait."
What sister? I'm your mother!
In front of the child, Hu Shanwei couldn't lose her temper with her husband, so she had to suppress her anger and said softly, "Children have to take a nap, mother... sister will help you take a bath first, okay?"
"No, I don't know you well." A Lei pointed at Muchun, "I just want my brother-in-law to wash me."
Hu Shanwei was rejected and suffered a series of setbacks. Four years have passed, and A Lei no longer remembers her. She took revenge and paid a price.
Zhu Zhanji, who had already taken a nap, went out to play with the shrimp cage. Mu Chun saw that his wife was sad, so he went over and held her hand. "You don't know her well, but I do. Can you ask her to help you pour water and pass you a towel?"
A Lei thought about it, nodded, and said to Hu Shanwei: "You can't peek at me."
It took two buckets of warm water to wash the muddy legs of Arei clean. While Hu Shanwei was handing the soap and towel to Mu Chun, he peeked at his daughter. Only her buttocks were pink and white, showing her original skin color. The rest of her was shiny black. Her body was too round, and she ran as fast as a black whirlwind, just like a boiled egg just out of the pot rolling on the ground.
In the Ming Dynasty, all children, regardless of gender, had to shave their heads to look like "Buddhists", with only a wisp of hair left on the top of the head, which was tied into a small braid with a red ribbon. Zhu Zhanji had this hairstyle, but Arei was bald, without even a strand of hair on top of his head.
Hu Shanwei asked: "Where is her hair?"
Mu Chun felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look directly at his wife's questioning eyes. He scooped a bucket of water and poured it on his daughter's shoulders. "She rolled around in the grass a few days ago, and her hair was covered with cockleburs with hooks. They pulled them off one by one and tore at her scalp. She just cried, so I simply shaved her hair."
Hearing this, Arei was quite pleased. He patted his bald head and said with a grin, "Little Ji said I looked like a little monk."
Hu Shanwei: Is this something to be happy about
When Muchun saw his daughter smile, he immediately forgot about his wife's death stare and chuckled, "You see, she is an optimistic girl."
Looking at Mu Chun's silly smile, Hu Shanwei repeatedly comforted himself: I married her, I gave birth to her, so just accept the reality.
A Lei took a shower and refused to walk by herself. She wanted Mu Chun to carry her to bed, and she also did not allow Hu Shanwei to watch her sleep. "I don't know you well. I can't sleep if you watch me."
Hu Shanwei felt sad after hearing this. Her daughter felt insecure because her mother was in the bedroom.
Fortunately, Arepi had been working for most of the day and was very tired. She fell asleep immediately after touching the pillow. Mu Chun quietly brought Hu Shanwei in and handed her a pillow. "Lie next to her. The little one's breath is fragrant."
Hu Shanwei whispered, "Won't it disturb her sleep?"
Mu Chun said: "Don't worry, once she falls asleep, she won't wake up even if she is struck by thunder."
The old couple were lying in bed with their daughter sleeping in the middle.
Hu Shanwei looked at his daughter greedily. His own daughter was different. Even a round, black, boiled egg could tell she had a pretty face!
Seeing his wife gradually accepting the reality that their daughter had turned into a boiled egg after being tanned, Mu Chun felt relieved. Without waiting for his wife to ask, he gave leniency to those who confessed and severity to those who resisted:
It turned out that when Li Jinglong besieged the city of Peking, Mu Chun was ordered to take Zhu Zhanji, the eldest grandson of the Prince of Yan's Mansion, back to Yunnan, shouldering the important task of preserving the "spark". After settling Zhu Zhanji, when he picked up his daughter from her father-in-law, he discovered that his daughter called her father-in-law dad and called him "brother-in-law".
Hu Rong had originally raised his granddaughter as his own daughter. As Arei grew up and could speak, in order to conceal the fact that Hu Shanwei's secret marriage would be exposed, he simply announced to the public that Arei was his little girl and her mother had died during childbirth.
Hu Rong is a well-maintained and good-looking old widower. It is not surprising that he had a daughter in his old age after having a romantic affair. In addition, A Lei's thick and curved eyebrows and round eyes have similar facial features to Hu Rong, which makes the lie even more true.
In this way, A Lei grew from a granddaughter to a little girl. Hu Rong disliked the unpleasant sound of "Lei" for a girl, so he gave her a full name. When A Lei was born, a rare rolling thunder occurred, which was a sign of good fortune. This generation was also the "good" generation, so she was named Hu Shanxiang, and was already included in the family tree.
Mu Chun said, "… My father-in-law said that changing the name to include it in the family tree is just a temporary measure. We need to let A Lei have a name that can be made public. Can a girl who has been dancing around be kept secret from outsiders for her whole life? In the future, when my husband and I are reunited, we will take A Lei in and remove her name from the family tree and change her surname to Mu. However, I think the surname is not important. My relationship with my father is cold, and I don’t want to inherit this surname. The daughter is yours, so she has the same surname as you. Hu Shanxiang is such a good name, why change her surname?"
When Mu Chun and his father Mu Ying had the worst quarrel, Mu Ying scolded him that giving birth to him would be worse than giving birth to a preserved egg. Mu Chun was so angry that he cut himself with a knife, pointed at the flowing blood and said that she would rather shed soy sauce than shed the blood of the Mu family.
Such a bad father-son relationship, as well as the childhood trauma in which his father hung him up and beat him until he passed out, made Muchun sneer at the so-called family inheritance and bloodline.
"If she had my last name, she would have to be called 'Mu Lei', which would sound like a bearded, foot-picking man, which is not appropriate."
Her father took good care of his daughter, raising her as both a father and a mother. Hu Shanwei was only grateful to his father and did not think there was anything wrong with changing her name. Besides, as Mu Chun said, if she wasn't called Hu Shanxiang, she would have to be called "Mu Lei"... Forget it, because her daughter would hate them when she grew up.
Hu Shanwei kissed the boiled egg in his arms. It didn't matter if the child he gave birth to was as ugly as a crayfish. Nothing was more important than growing up healthy and happy. If Mu Chun hadn't been at home to take care of his daughter, she wouldn't have been able to make a beautiful counterattack and take revenge in the harem.
What else could she do? Of course she chose to forgive Chunchun.
She was tired from the journey and was worried about repeating the tragedy of Lady Fan, so she remained alert all the time. Only now, with her husband and daughter at her side, did she completely relax. Sleepiness swept over her, and she fell into a deep sleep as Mu Chun chattered about her daughter's life.
"… Let me tell you, A Lei is in very good health. When he had pox in the spring, he only had a fever for one day. He ate and played as usual, just like nothing happened. The Zhu family's child is much worse. He had a fever for five days. If something happened, how would I explain to Princess Yan? I was so scared that I prepared a boy who looked like him to be used in the future. Fortunately, he gradually recovered and didn't need to be used."
When Hu Shanwei woke up, the sun had already set and the weather had cooled down. She had slept so comfortably that she was reluctant to open her eyes. She reached out to the pillow, wanting to touch her daughter's scalp. Unexpectedly, she touched a head of black hair, which frightened her so much that she "startled up in her dying dream," "Who!"
"Who else could be sleeping next to you? Your husband." Mu Chun occupied her pillow, with his clothes half open, faintly revealing the undulating muscles on his waist and abdomen. His two long legs, which had nowhere to put, were raised high and crossed at the knees. From Hu Shanwei's condescending gaze, the wide trouser legs revealed a spring scene, like a "red apricot" coming out of the wall.
Mu Chun's posture was so seductive, and she was full of spring in the hot summer. Hu Shanwei's mouth was dry and she couldn't help licking her lips. However, she still had her wits about her shoulders, looked around, and asked, "Where's my daughter?"
"At this hour, A'lei and Xiaoji are learning to read and writing big characters. The teacher teaches five characters every day, and it takes about an hour. When the clepsydra is finished, the lesson is over." Mu Chun turned a clepsydra filled with fine sand upside down, and the fine sand leaked silently from the gap between the bottlenecks.
Muchun blinked his eyes. "They are studying in the pergola in the middle of the chrysanthemum field. It's bright and cool there. The dinner is also served there. It's a little far from us. If you listen carefully, can you hear them reading?"
Hu Shanwei pricked up his ears and listened carefully. He could hear nothing, only the faint sounds of insects and birds. He said, "I can't hear anything."
"Very good, they can't hear us..." Mu Chun pulled Hu Shanwei to the pillow.
In the bedroom, the clepsydra is silent, but the people are making sounds.
In the shed over the chrysanthemum field, A Lei and Zhu Zhanji were both smart kids. The five of them learned quickly. After each of them copied two large characters, they were going to go out to play. Hu Rong, who was temporarily filling in as the teacher, saw that his daughter and son-in-law had not come to pick them up yet, so he coughed twice and said, "It's still early today, so you need to learn one more chapter of "Phonetic Enlightenment" - once you've memorized it, I'll take you to the teahouse to watch "Journey to the West" tomorrow. Tomorrow we'll perform Sun Wukong's rampage at the Flaming Mountain."
When they heard there was a play to watch, and it was about their favorite Monkey King, the two children sat up straight away.
“Spring is paired with summer, and autumn is paired with winter… Dancing butterflies are paired with chirping crickets. Two purple swallows carry mud, and a few wasps collect honey. In the spring, the orioles sing in the garden, and in the autumn, the geese sing in the frontier…”
Today's dinner was a little late. The sheep-horn lanterns were lit in the gauze tent of the chrysanthemum field. The family sat around the meal to welcome Hu Shanwei. The two children were small in stature, so they ate at a small table nearby. At the big table, the couple invited Hu Rong to sit, and Mu Chun and Hu Shanwei sat opposite each other.
It had been twenty years since the father and daughter sat down to have a meal together again. The former integrity had disappeared with the passage of time. Hu Shanwei found that his father had aged significantly in recent years. His nose was sore. "I had planned to visit my father in the bookstore tomorrow, but I didn't expect that he would become A Lei's teacher."
It was the first time in 20 years that Hu Rong had dinner with his daughter at the same table. He still felt that happiness came too quickly and he felt a little awkward. His heart was as warm as a pot of boiling water, but his appearance showed a sense of indifference and awkwardness as if he was homesick. He said:
"I wasn't the teacher who taught them. The previous teacher... didn't get along with A Lei, so he resigned. We haven't hired a new teacher yet. We can't delay the children's learning. I can teach them now that I know a few words."
Hu Rong was born into a scholarly family in Shandong, and his family had a good foundation in education. Hu Shanwei was personally taught by his father. Now, he is teaching his granddaughter and the future crown prince, and he will only be more dedicated than before.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Hu Shanwei looked at the "braised egg" who was eating at the small table and said, "Alei was naughty and made the teacher angry. Now her father is teaching her. Will she be obedient?"
Hu Rong looked at his lovely granddaughter and immediately relaxed. "She is obedient within an hour. If it takes more than an hour, she will get impatient. But she learns very quickly. She can learn after a few times of teaching. She is as smart as you when you were a child."
Mu Chun quickly came to the rescue of his father-in-law, "I originally wanted to teach in person, but my father-in-law asked me what books I had read, and then told me to just play with them, so as not to delay my family, haha."
The author has something to say: Murray, Murray hahahaha.
