Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 9
On the day of Qingming, it began to rain again, probably because it carried too many thoughts of the living for the dead, and the rain did not stop for a day.

The old lady has poor legs and feet, so the younger husband and wife went out to worship at the ancestral grave.

Naturally, Lu Ruqing was still ill and could not go out.The other two brothers rode ahead on horseback, and their three sisters-in-law sat in the carriage.In order to worship the ancestors, Shi Nianjiao rarely wore red today, but a lotus-coloured long gown with a stand-up collar, which did not match her delicate appearance.

It was the first time He Shaoguang saw her wearing such tight clothes, and he was not used to it.

"I heard that the second brother took the second sister-in-law out of the house two days ago? The relationship is so good, I am really envious."

"Hey, the third brother and sister are not bad either! The fresh things that the third brother brings from outside every day are sent to you. I'm so jealous."

He Shaoguang figured out the way to get along with Shi Nianjiao. She is not a bad person, so she has to be supported.She praised you with sour words, you have to take it back even more.

Just like falling in love.

But she is not her husband either!
In short, Shi Nianjiao is bored and doesn't know why she is going crazy, so she likes to stab you a few words.Xu Ruyun wouldn't care if it was Xu Ruyun, but He Shaoguang couldn't, so she could only act as a blending oil between the two of them, lubricating it.

When Shi Nianjiao came in, Jiang Ningyu was no longer there, so she hadn't seen the real person, but she came here to offer incense last year during the Qingming Festival.

After finishing the obeisance without emotion, Shi Nianjiao sighed softly and stroked her lower abdomen: "These days I always feel that my waist is a little thicker, maybe I have a body now?"

Just happened to be heard by Lu Fengju who was passing by, and he couldn't help but retort: ​​"Don't you think about the past two days when you have to use some snacks every time before going to bed, and there are so many tricks, it tortures me not to eat this or that.

Look at the meat on my face, I ate it with you!If you don't grow any meat, I will suspect that you ate it into your intestines! "

Shi Nianjiao was annoyed by what he said, she stretched out her hand to pinch him, but was run away by Lu Fengju.

Not far away, while everyone was clearing up the weeds, He Shaoguang suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure wearing a veiled hat standing quietly in front of the stele.

I met that day, Li Jinghe.Dressed in plain color, wearing a veiled hat, and not bringing too many servants, he carried some offerings and placed them in front of the tomb, standing quietly.

"County Li." Knowing her identity, He Shaoguang wanted to salute her, but was stopped by the other party.

"I'm just a county lord with a foreign surname, so I don't need to do such a grand ceremony."

After standing still for a while, Li Jinghe asked her, "Is her child all right?"

"Brother Yan is very sensible and serious about studying. Girl Zhen is very smart, and everyone in the house likes her."

He Shaoguang also likes the two young ones very much, and he has a smile on his face when he mentions them.

"That's good, Xiao Mingzhen was born by her desperately."

"If the county lord wants to see them, he can come to the mansion."

Li Jinghe didn't seem to have expected He Shaoguang to be so generous: "Aren't you afraid that I will mention my biological mother in front of them?"

"The deceased is gone, what do I have to worry about?" Facing Li Jinghe's puzzled gaze, He Shaoguang's eyes were as clear as water, "Forgetting is the real death. If you have been thinking about her, Sister Jiang will not disappear." I don't know if the county lord can feel better."

"Forgetting is death." Li Jinghe repeated this sentence, she and Jiang Ninglu dated only because of that almost similar face.Even if her temper was twisted and domineering, she tried her best to bear it.

Looking at that face every day, she didn't think about the fact that Ning Yu left, as if she could just pretend it never happened.

She was worried about Lu Xiaowen marrying a wife, worried that his step-wife would treat Xiao Mingyan and Xiao Mingzhen badly.She was also worried that she was too kind to them, and the children would forget their biological mother, especially Xiao Mingzhen, who Ning Yu gave birth to with all her might, she could not forget.

But the moment Jiang Ninglu humiliated He Shaoguang, she clearly realized that even if she had a similar face, she still couldn't like this arrogant young lady.Her Ning Yu face was indifferent, but her heart was warm.

So she lost contact with Jiang Ninglu, and couldn't help but ran to Jiang Ningyu's grave to talk to her.

She will never die, because Li Jinghe will never forget.

Although their conversation was not loud, it also drifted into Lu Xiaowen's ears, and the sentence "forgetting is death" kept him silent for a long time.

He didn't have too much affection for this first wife, but she gave birth to two children for him, so he felt guilty about her departure, but he used to worry that He Shaoguang would mind, and rarely mentioned Jiang's.

His wife is a little different.Seemingly naive and escaped, in fact, he has penetrated a lot of truth in his heart.

Knowing the world but not the world, this is probably the interpretation of her.

It didn't take long to worship the ancestors, and when he returned to the mansion, He Shaoguang took out the youth group that he had made the day before yesterday.Tomb-sweeping Day is not a fire, she made a lot of green dumplings in advance, and each courtyard shared some, with red bean paste, and made the salted egg yolk meat floss stuffing that she loved before.

When the meat floss was being fried, the courtyard was full of aromas, and the servants passing by stopped to sniff, curious to know what the second lady was doing so fragrant?

Lu Mingzhen stood by the stove early on, took a small stool, and waited for He Shaoguang to fry the first one to try.

When she saw the chicken turn into golden and fluffy meat floss, she was as surprised as He Shaoguang was when he first saw a lion jumping into a ring of fire.

"I'll satisfy your craving first, but you can't eat too much, the rest will be used to make green balls." He Shaoguang picked up a chopstick and fed it to Lu Mingzhen who had been waiting for a long time.

"Delicious!" Lu Mingzhen finally ate the floss and shook her head, expressing that she is very happy now.

For the rest of the time, He Shaoguang told Lu Mingzhen the story of the origin of the Ching Ming Festival while wrapping up the Youth League.At the end, the little girl curled her lips: "This Jie Zitui is really pitiful. He cut his flesh and was burned to death by him."

He Shaoguang chuckled, children's world always judges people as either good or bad, just like when she watched TV when she was a child, she always liked to ask her parents: "Is this a bad person? Then is he a good person?"

Shi Nianjiao yelled that she wanted to lose weight and couldn't eat these sweets, but she still accepted them. When she returned to the yard, no one knew if she ate them.

Xu Ruyun didn't like sweets, but she was more interested in the salted egg yolk stuffing she saw for the first time, and asked someone to ask her if she had any extra?

The old lady likes the youth group sent to the old lady's courtyard, and finished eating both flavors.Along with the food box, there is also a plate of fried Sanzi, which is often eaten during the Qingming Festival.

He Shaoguang tasted it, because it was deep-fried yesterday, and it was damp and the taste was a bit soft.

But it was sent by the old lady, He Shaoguang still put it on the dining table, and settled the plate of "heart" with Lu Xiaowen.

When it comes to fried food, He Shaoguang can't help but miss fried chicken.Some days I haven't eaten, and with some wine, the gods are not so happy.

Recalling the delicacy, He Shaoguang was so overwhelmed that he didn't sleep well all night, his stomach clamored for fried chicken, and he lay on the bed tossing and turning.

Lu Xiaowen, who was leaning on the bed and reading a book, thought it was her light that affected her, and asked her if she wanted to go to the study by herself?

He Shaoguang was a little embarrassed: "Do you know where there are chickens?"
