Zhao Donglin, who always kept calm and self-possessed in the face of all kinds of hardships, bloodshed and sacrifices, did not blink his eyes, but at this moment he was completely stunned. throbbing.
This situation is definitely not going to go on. In the dim bed curtain, Zhao Donglin and Dong Jiahui below him met their eyes.
"you… "
He wanted to ask Jiahui what was going on, but when the words came to his lips, he found that he couldn't ask.
Seeing that her face was pale and frightened, Zhao Donglin was afraid that not only would he not be able to comfort her by saying what he should not have said, but it would even irritate her even more. As for Dong Jiahui, she was even more shocked than Zhao Donglin, because she had no memory of the original owner, so she really didn't know what was going on!
She only knew that the original owner was divorced because she couldn't give birth to a child, and she accepted the fact that she was an abandoned woman for no reason after time travel, but now, the original owner turned out to be a big girl. Just chat under the quilt
What kind of sand sculpture plot is this? It's blinding, isn't it
Dong Jiahui looked at Zhao Donglin in astonishment, afraid that he would not be able to explain what he asked.
In a few seconds, Dong Jiahui quickly thought of an excuse to deal with it. It is certain that the marriage between the original owner and Lu Chengyuan is nameless. If Zhao Donglin asks, she will say that Lu Chengyuan is inhumane. Anyway, it is impossible for Zhao Donglin to go to Lu Chengyuan Verify the truth of the matter.
She had already thought of the reason to deal with it, but found that Zhao Donglin was a person who didn't follow the rules. He didn't ask any questions, as if he accepted the fact calmly. At the same time, he ended this unharmonious movement , turned over and lay down next to Dong Jiahui, held Dong Jiahui in his arms, patted her on the shoulder, and gave her silent comfort.
Zhao Donglin's heart was naturally not as calm as he showed. He roughly guessed several possibilities, but no matter which one it was, Jiahui was under the pressure of public opinion that a woman should not bear.
He couldn't believe that if Jiahui hadn't met him, what would happen to her, a woman who divorced because of trumped-up charges. Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling sorry for her.
"Go to sleep, don't think about anything, just get some sleep."
Tomorrow is another new day, and tonight is destined to be an impressive wedding night.
Dong Jiahui was not sleepy at first, but Zhao Dong's words seemed to have some magical power, or maybe her body was already exhausted because she got up too early this morning. When she closed her eyes, she soon heard the sound of even breathing.
Zhao Donglin's eyes shifted from the bed curtain above his head to Jiahui's face, he was still the same person, but the feeling was different.
How should I put it, this is a surprise and a fright.
He was amazed by the matter itself, and wanted to explore the truth of the matter. As for the other things, he didn't care that much. After all, what he saw at the beginning was Jia Hui's character and temperament, and other conditions were just external.
In the Lu's house a few miles away, Lu Chengyuan was fascinated by the shadows of the whirling trees outside the window. He knew that today was Jiahui's wedding day, and he also knew that she had found a very capable man this time.
He wanted to meet her secretly, but he was afraid of getting her into trouble.
If there is any medicine for regret in life, what he regrets the most is that he divorced Jiahui because of his cowardice.
He clearly knew that his inability to have children was his problem. Jia Hui was so pure and kind, even if she had problems, she never blamed herself, and silently assumed the responsibility of everyone. As for herself, she was supposed to be an upright man But dare not speak the truth.
He let his mother drive Jiahui away, acquiesced in her finding a new wife for him, and thought that his illness would be cured, but the fact was that everything was developing into a more chaotic situation.
Now all the regrets are useless, she is a good woman, a cowardly and incompetent man like myself is not worthy of her at all, maybe it would be a good thing for her to let her go.
*****
Dong Jiahui had a good night's sleep. She was always big-hearted. No matter what happened, as long as the sky didn't fall, as long as people were still alive, nothing would affect her sleeping and eating.
The next morning, Zhao Donglin got up just after dawn. When the bed board moved, Dong Jiahui also opened his eyes in a daze.
When Dong Jiahui just woke up, her mind was still a little confused. After she saw Zhao Donglin's broad back and straight long legs, she remembered that she married Zhao Donglin yesterday, and today is the first day after marriage.
Thinking of this, Dong Jiahui hurriedly sat up from the bed. Her husband's family is no better than her mother's, and her mother-in-law is not her own mother. If her daughter-in-law got up later than Zhao Donglin, her mother-in-law might have some objections.
Zhao Donglin turned around when he heard the movement, and saw Dong Jiahui wearing a white crew-neck sweater, with long hair draped over his shoulders, giving him a lazy and casual look. He was staring blankly at the quilt, obviously not awake yet. Gooey looks pretty cute.
Zhao Donglin raised the corners of his lips unconsciously, and said with a light smile, "It's still early, you should lie down for a while."
It's only around five o'clock, and it's just dawn. Zhao Donglin didn't sleep much last night because he had something on his mind, and he didn't want to lie down when he saw the time, so he got up.
Another reason is that a man who is used to living alone for a long time suddenly finds it difficult to grasp his mood when he suddenly has a warm and soft jade in his arms.
Dong Jiahui shook her head, and casually tied her long hair scattered around her shoulders into a bun.
"I just passed the door yesterday, I should have gotten up early."
The first impression was good, what would it be like if he slept until the sun was up on the first day, and besides, Zhao Donglin had already woken up, how could she wake up later than him
Even if Dong Jiahui has never been married and never been with her mother-in-law, she knows that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can never be sincerely close, and the so-called goodness is mostly just superficial peace.
There is no mother-in-law who does not love her son. If Dong Jiahui wants to live well in the Zhao family, she has to pay attention to some small details all the time.
Zhao Donglin asked Dong Jiahui to sleep for a while without thinking about it. He just felt sorry for Dong Jiahui from the bottom of his heart. He was in the army before and had no real experience in marriage and family life. He heard Dong Jiahui say something today, and he immediately understood the mystery .
He remembered that his little daughter-in-law was a smart woman, and her study theory had amazed him.
Zhao Donglin patted Dong Jiahui's head with a smile, and left the room with Dong Jiahui's blushing heart beating.
There was some hot water in the water bottle on the table. Dong Jiahui washed her face and brushed her teeth in the room, put on a silver-red coat, combed her hair again, and braided it like before.
This silver-red Lenin suit was also made by Dong Jiahui herself. It didn't fit as well as the wedding one, but it was deliberately put a size up so that it was convenient to add a jacket inside in winter.
After leaving the room, Dong Jiahui saw that kerosene was already lit in the kitchen. She went straight to the kitchen and saw her mother-in-law Zhang Qiaoer was already lighting a fire in front of the stove.
"Mom, good morning."
Dong Jiahui yelled, Zhang Qiaoer raised her eyes when she heard the voice, and saw her daughter-in-law standing there with a smile on her face.
There is no one who doesn't like to see other people's smiling faces, not to mention how happy they are to see such a beautiful smiling face when they wake up in the morning, at least Zhang Qiaoer likes it very much.
"Why do you get up so early? It's okay for you young people to sleep a little longer. You don't have to get up early in the future. I'm not such an unenlightened mother-in-law."
As for the bridal chamber last night, I am still willing to be considerate of my daughter-in-law at this time.
Dong Jiahui understood the meaning of her mother-in-law's words. Thinking of the ridiculous scene last night, Dong Jiahui felt hot.
Now that it's up, you can't just stand like this, you still need to find some work to do.
People in the village have a lot of housework. They have to clean the house early in the morning, wash and cook, feed the chickens and pigs, chop firewood and carry water, and reorganize the vegetable fields. After all this work, the sun should rise.
"Mom, I just passed the door yesterday, and I don't know what I should do."
She is a new daughter-in-law, so she can't do it by herself as soon as she gets through the door. The other one, whether it's at home or at work, "the one who can do more work", after doing it once, it is inevitable to continue to do it. If she works hard to do all the housework After doing it, isn't it still me who suffers in the future
Dong Jiahui understood in her heart that her former friends often said that she was "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger". She looked silly, but in fact she was clear in her heart. Don't worry too much about unnecessary issues.
Dong Jiahui took the initiative to ask herself to arrange work for her, and Zhang Qiaoer was quite satisfied. As a mother-in-law, she was never the kind of person who liked to show off her mother-in-law's money. Whether it was Wang Mei before or Zheng Yuefen, what they did or didn't do was all based on their own consciousness.
"There's nothing wrong at home. You wash your own and Donglin's clothes. Let's forget about today. From tomorrow, Heidan and Yingbao's clothes will also be handed over to you. You can watch other things first. You just married Come here, don't rush to get started, talk about it in two days."
The clothes of the Zhao family have always been washed separately. She used to do the laundry. After the two daughters grew up, the two daughters took turns washing. Later, when the sons got married, they washed their own clothes in their own rooms.
After hearing Zhang Qiaoer's arrangement, Dong Jiahui responded decisively.
"Okay, Mom, then I'm going to do the laundry first."
Dong Jiahui went back to the house and took out her and Zhao Donglin's dirty clothes and put them in the basin, and soaked them in well water. In addition to the clothes, there was also the dirty sheet. Dong Jiahui was still a little ashamed when washing.
Washing sheets is really something that others can't afford to think about. Who would have thought that it was like that last night.
Dong Jiahui was halfway through the laundry, and Zhao Meixiang came out holding Yingbao.
"Morning, sister-in-law."
"Morning."
What Zhao Meixiang wore for Yingbao was exactly the one that Dong Jiahui brought out yesterday, and Dong Jiahui was very moved by this move.
"The clothes are just right, the sleeves are a little longer, and the rolls are just right."
Moreover, the bright yellow color matches Yingbao's skin very well, and it is as cute as a little yellow duck when worn.
"Yingbao is so cute, she looks beautiful in everything she wears."
"No, we can't find another pretty girl like Yingbao in our village."
Not to mention anything else, Wang Mei's appearance is still very high, and Yingbao is more beautiful than other people's children when she was born. In addition, after Wang Mei left, Zhang Qiaoer raised her granddaughter well, one egg a day, and rice paste , white flour steamed buns, after being fed like this, Yingbao looks white and tender, with a round face, unlike other children who look thin and have dark skin.
At this time, Yingbao was gnawing small round biscuits in his hand, eating small bites like a squirrel, looking at Dong Jiahui curiously.
While talking, Dong Jiahui had already finished washing her clothes, and when she saw the sheets she was drying, Mei Xiang obviously misunderstood, and her face turned red.
The Zhao family appeared in the yard one after another. Zhao Changgui came back with a bundle of firewood on his back. It turned out that he had gone down the mountain to pick up branches, and hei Dan, who got up early, was behind him.
Zheng Yuefen was the last one to get up. She carried the stone into the kitchen. After seeing Dong Jiahui, she hesitated and called "Sister-in-law". She was four years older than Dong Jiahui, but Dong Jiahui married Zhao Donglin. Dong Jiahui is naturally her sister-in-law, even if she is younger than her.
"That boy Shitou played so crazy yesterday that he wet the bed at night. I changed his clothes, and I couldn't sleep well in the middle of the night because of the noise."
Her blunt talk also indirectly explained why she got up late.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if you don’t say anything. Zhang Qiao’er always cooks Zhao’s breakfast. One is that people feel light when they get old. The other is that Zhang Qiao’er is worried about other people’s cooking and is afraid that others will waste food. The last point is that grandchildren are more important and take good care of children. Just do it.
"Hurry up and pack up, we'll have dinner later."
Zhang Qiaoer cooked rice porridge this morning, baked corn tortillas, steamed a few sweet potatoes, and fried two side dishes with leftover ingredients from yesterday's cooking.
The Zhao family usually doesn't have such a rich breakfast, at least they don't cook vegetables specially, just cut two pickles and eat porridge.
The family sat down at the dinner table, and Dong Jiahui took Yingbao from Meixiang's arms, and fed Yingbao to Yingbao with a small spoon dedicated to Yingbao.
A mouthful of rice porridge with a side dish, Yingbao's food is very suitable.
Zhao Donglin was very happy seeing Jiahui like this, with the corners of his mouth raised, while the others, although they were eating, looked at them calmly, especially Zhang Qiaoer, who saw the new daughter-in-law taking care of Yingbao so well. Well, she really let go of her heart.
"Sister-in-law, Yingbao likes you very much, you can see how delicious it is when you feed her."
Over there, Heidan drank the porridge with his head down, not even turning his head too far. Zhang Qiaoer asked Heidan to call Jiahui in the morning, but he didn't want to open his mouth either. Zhang Qiaoer reached out to knock him, but Jiahui stopped him.
"Mom, it's okay, the child is still young, let's take it slowly, he will feel even more unhappy if he is forced hard all at once."
Since she is here to be a stepmother, Dong Jiahui has already realized this. Hei Dan is only a four-year-old child, and it will not cause any real harm to her. On the contrary, it is Dong Jiahui. Seeing Hei Dan's taciturn appearance, she feels very distressed. his.
"This child, I don't know who I heard what said, but I have a good opinion of you."
"It's okay. I haven't met him before and he doesn't know me well. It's normal not to like me now. As long as I treat him well, I believe he will recognize me in the future."
Zhang Qiaoer nodded with a smile, without saying anything, she was satisfied in her heart.
"It's good if you can think this way. Human hearts are fleshy. As long as you treat them sincerely, they will definitely recognize you as a mother."
Dong Jiahui nodded with a smile, "Well, so I'm not in a hurry, take your time, it's still a long time."
