Chapter 127
"Xiao Ping, didn't Liu Feng say that there are a lot of ribs at home! Why didn't I see them?" Mother He walked out of the kitchen in an apron and shouted into the room.

"The ribs should be in the third small tank under the eaves, covered with snow, you should be able to see it after clearing the snow." He Xiaoping's angry voice came from the room.

Mother He went to the eaves, lifted the lid of the third small tank, and scraped off the snow powder on it, and found the ribs inside.

"found it!"

The ribs are all cut into small pieces of about two centimeters. Mother He took a plate, removed two yams, peeled them and cut them into small pieces. First, fry the ribs until they are browned on both sides, then add water and some seasonings. After the water boils, Then add the yam and simmer on low heat for half an hour.

He Mu's cooking skills are far better than He Xiaoping's.

Two layers of quilts were spread on the big kang in the east chamber, which was very soft. For He Xiaoping's confinement, Wang Zhong worked hard. In summer, he put the big kang in the east chamber in advance.

He Xiaoping was sitting against the wall, with a blanket on her legs and a flowered scarf on her head, Xiaodoubao was full and fell asleep, Xiaorui sat on the kang, staring at the TV opposite the big kang.

The sound of the TV was not loud, and it was playing Journey to the West, which was just released last year, but Xiaorui, who was only three years old, was very engrossed in watching it.

"time to eat!"

Mother He was holding a tray. On the tray was a large plate of pork ribs stewed with yams, a bowl of steamed eggs, a fried cabbage, and white flour steamed buns as the staple food.

As soon as Mother He came in, Xiaorui immediately looked away from the TV, staring straight at the tray in Mother He's hand, or staring at the big plate of stewed pork ribs exuding a tempting aroma yam.

Although the conditions of the He family are good, they cannot guarantee that they will eat meat every meal.

But since I came to Wang Zhong’s house, I eat three meals a day. Even for breakfast, the sauce used to make fried noodles is fried with pork belly, and the buns are basically filled with meat, including beef, mutton and pork. The sesame seed cakes brought back from outside are filled with either mutton or beef, and they are basically non-vegetarian.

It's only been over a week since Xiaorui's fair and tender face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Do you want to save some for Liu Feng?" Mother He put the food on the kang table, and suddenly remembered Wang Zhong who had gone out early in the morning, so she couldn't help asking.

"No need!" He Xiaoping said with a smile: "He is going to a restaurant, not somewhere else, and he can miss a lunch in the restaurant!"

The new year is approaching, people's lives are getting better and better, and the business of restaurants is also rising, becoming more and more popular. During this time, He Xiaoping is going to have a baby and confinement, so naturally she has no time to manage the restaurant, but she can't just leave it alone , naturally only Wang Zhong could go.

Mother He slapped her forehead, and suddenly said: "That's right! Look at my brain, what have I been thinking about!"

"You really opened that 'Lucky Restaurant'?" Mother He still couldn't believe that He Xiaoping opened such a big restaurant that ranks first in Yanjing.

"Mom! How many times have you asked me!" He Xiaoping said angrily.

Mother He smiled awkwardly: "I can't believe it!"

"Okay, okay! Let's eat first, you will make Xiaorui greedy." He Xiaoping looked at the big pot of pork ribs stewed yam on the table, and kept swallowing. , A smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Mother He looked at Xiaorui and cursed in a low voice: "The starving ghost reincarnated! My eyes are straightened when I see delicious food." But her face was also full of smiles, and she didn't mean to blame at all.

He Xiaoping quickly put two pieces of spare ribs into Xiaorui's bowl with chopsticks, and said softly: "It's still very hot just out of the pan, don't rush to eat it, blow it on, let it dry, and eat it when it cools down."

"Thank you, Second Sister!" Xiaorui said obediently.

The little girl was only three years old, and she didn't know how to use chopsticks yet. She raised her hand and carefully touched the ribs in the bowl. She immediately retracted her hand because of the heat, but she didn't cry at all, her eyes were still staring, and her mouth puffed up. It blew up against the ribs.

It looks so cute.

Mother He took a white flour steamed bun with her hands, scooped up a bowl of soup, and put them in front of the little girl, "Eat some steamed buns first, it's very hot, wait for it to cool down before drinking."

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and He Xiaoping was sitting in double moons, and there was still more than a month before confinement, and Wang Zhong Hospital had long been on holiday.

The restaurant is also closed, and it is a three-day holiday for the Chinese New Year, from the evening of the 28th, to the second day of the new year, and to work in the morning of the third day.

Wang Zhong was in the study, and Mother He had just boiled a pot of hot water, walked outside the study, and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Wang Zhong's voice came from the study.

"Liu Feng, I just boiled a pot of hot water. I think the hot water in the study has been running all day, so it's time to change it." Mother He walked in, put the thermos bottle on the corner table, and shook it. Shake, there is only a little bit left in it.

Wang Zhong hurriedly stood up: "Mother-in-law, how can I bother you with this matter, I will do it myself! Don't be too busy, just watch TV with Xiaoping and Xiaorui!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm on my way!" Mother He backed out with a smile.

Wang Zhong shook his head helplessly and sat back on the chair.

He Xiaoping's mother is like this, she can't be idle no matter what, always looking for something to do, when she has nothing to do, she cleans up the house, from the main house to the wing room, clean inside and out.

After a while, Mother He came back with a thermos bottle that had been filled with water.

Seeing Mother He's expression of hesitation, Wang Zhong took the initiative to ask: "Mother-in-law, do you have anything to tell me?"

Mother He forced a smile, her eyes averted a little: "Liu Feng! I do have something I want to discuss with you."

"Then let's go out and sit and talk!" Wang Zhong smiled and looked at He Mu and said.

"No, no, just a few words!" Mother He waved her hands again and again, telling Wang Zhong not to get up, just sit down.

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Then tell me, what's the matter?"

"I want to take Xiaorui back tonight, after all, it's New Year's Eve, you see..." Mother He asked a little nervously.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Isn't it up to you? If you really want to go back, I will send you and Xiaorui back later!"

"I told Xiaoping, but she wants me to stay here! Spend New Year's Eve with you!" Mother He said.

This is the reason why Mother He went to find Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong was stunned: "Do you want me to persuade Xiaoping?"

Mother He nodded immediately: "Xiao Ping is still stubborn, and she is not yet confinement, so she can't get emotional, I'm worried..."

"I understand!" Wang Zhong said with a smile, "Don't worry, Xiaoping is not as fragile as before, and she is not as fragile as you think. Let's talk to her together!"

Mother He hadn't said anything yet, but Wang Zhong's voice suddenly changed: "But there is something, I think I should tell you in advance!"

Mother He's expression also changed, she frowned and looked at Wang Zhong suspiciously.

"What's the matter?"

"Come on, let's sit outside and talk slowly!" Wang Zhongyin supported Mother He to the side hall outside, and Wang Zhong poured a cup of hot water for Mother He.

Then he said: "You are Xiaoping's mother, and you are an elder. I shouldn't say some things, but Xiaoping is your biological daughter, and I am Xiaoping's husband. Some words may be offensive, but I think If you want to go, I think I should talk to you."

Mother He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she wanted to know what Wang Zhong wanted to say, why she said that suddenly, and Dang Li couldn't wait to say: "Since it is for Xiaoping's benefit, there is nothing that cannot be said."

Seeing Mother He's attitude and listening to her tone, Wang Zhong's worries eased a lot.

"Xiaoping has been more sensitive and fragile than ordinary people since she was a child. Is this the reason? In the final analysis, there are two reasons. The first one is because of Xiaoping's biological father, but now that he has gone, we will not Said him.

The second point is that you and Xiaoping's stepfather re-established this family! "

Mother He's eyes flickered, her complexion was not very good-looking, it was obvious that Wang Zhong's words had already touched a sore spot in her heart.

But thinking of He Xiaoping, Mother He held back her grief and said yes, looked at Wang Zhong with a hint of strength in her expression, as if gritted her teeth and said, "Go on!"

Wang Zhongdao: "You and I know how Xiaoping's stepfather treats Xiaoping, but Xiaoping's stepfather has contributed a lot to being able to grow up to such a large size, to study, to dance, and to enter an art troupe." , although he doesn't love Xiaoping, but as a stepfather, he has done enough, and Xiaoping has always been grateful to him in his heart.

To be honest, I also admire him a lot. If it were me, I might not be able to do as well as he does to someone else's daughter. "

"However, He Xiaojun and He Xiaoru have been hostile to you and Xiaoping since they were young. You also know the reason. This matter is not right or wrong, but the harm to Xiaoping is real."

Mother He nodded, with a bit of sadness on her brows: "I know that Xiaojun, Xiaoru, and Xiaofang didn't like Xiaoping when they were young, and they often bullied her. Every time Xiaoping came to tell Me, I let Xiaoping bear it, and told her that we are dependent on others..."

As she spoke, mother He's eyes filled with tears, and her face showed grief.

"Then do you know why Xiaoping practices dancing so hard and why she wants to go to the art troupe so hard?"

Mother He shook her head, but the tears couldn't be stopped, and kept falling.

"Because she wanted to escape from that family, she thought that no one would bully her when she came to the art troupe."

Speaking of which, Wang Zhong sighed, his face full of regret: "But she thought too beautifully, but the reality is too cruel."

"She thought that the art troupe was what she dreamed of, a harmonious and beautiful paradise, but in fact it just stepped from one hell to another."

"At the art troupe, people disliked her just because she sweated more than ordinary people. No one would partner with her. Everyone disliked her, isolated her, and bullied her."

"Do you know how lonely and miserable she was at that time?"

Wang Zhongyue said that Mother He cried more and couldn't help but raise her hands to cover her face.

Wang Zhong sighed again, and continued: "After going to the field hospital, I finally got rid of the uncomfortable place in the art troupe. Then, after the war was over, we returned to Yanjing and got married until today."

"Xiaoping has suffered too many injuries and experienced too much pain in her life. Every time she goes back to that home, she feels uncomfortable, but she still grits her teeth and goes back because you are there." Speaking of this, Wang Zhong paused and sighed.

"Do you know, Xiaoping has always told me that she has no wish in this life, she just wants to have her own home, take you here, take you to her side, in her own home, don't have to rely on others like before, You don't need to be bullied anymore, you can live your life with peace of mind, without looking at anyone's face..."

"Don't say it...don't say it..." Mother He grabbed Wang Zhong's hand, tears were streaming down her face, and she couldn't make a sound.

"I'm sorry for Xiaoping, I'm not capable, it's me, it's all me..." But even though she was crying, Mother He tried her best to keep her voice down, for fear that He Xiaoping who was in the East Chamber would hear her and let her cry. she worried.

"Mother-in-law!" Wang Zhong supported He's mother: "Xiaoping never blamed you, she always understood you. With no one to rely on, you were also forced to take her to live under the fence."

"But if anyone can survive, who likes to live under the fence and be angry with others."

"In the past, I had no ability or conditions, but now it's different. Xiaoping and I have our own home, and we have our own house. Xiaoping also knows that you have Xiaomin and Xiaorui now, and she didn't think about it. However, let me draw a clear line between you and that family, after all, when you and Xiaoping were down and out, it was your father-in-law who took you in."

"Xiaoping just hopes that if you have time, you can come to the house more, spend more time with her, let her do more filial piety in front of you, so that you can also enjoy family happiness."

He's mother was sobbing that the pear blossoms were raining, and even her nose flowed out. Wang Zhong quickly took out a few tissues and handed them to He's mother.

······
"Drink your saliva first to calm down. I'll go to Xiaoping's place first and do her work first..." Before Wang Zhong finished speaking, his mother grabbed his hand.

"do not······"

"no need!"

Mother He sobbed a few times, still crying: "I'm not leaving, Xiaorui and I will stay and spend New Year's Eve with you and Xiaoping."

Wang Zhong said: "It's best if you can think like this! Xiaoping will be happy if she finds out."

Although Mother He's sobs were much quieter, the tears in her eyes refused to hold back and kept falling, so she could only sob and say, "Liu Feng, you...you go first... "Stay with Xiaoping... I'll be there later... wash your face before going over."

"I'll listen to you!"

"Then I'll go and have a look!"

Walking out of the main room, Wang Zhong turned his head to look at the side hall, and the corner of his mouth raised a slight arc, showing a smile.

Although a little trick was used, if the knot between He Xiaoping and He's mother can be untied, and the relationship between mother and daughter can be restored, everyone will be happy, Wang Zhong doesn't mind.

As long as the result is good, the means and process are not so important.

But freezing three feet is not a day's cold. Although He's mother is shaken, she and that family are completely connected together. Unless He's father goes away one day, otherwise, He's mother will leave no matter what. Do not open that home.

After all, He Xiaomin and He Xiaorui are the blood of He's mother and He's father. They have formed a family for more than ten years, and they have long been accustomed to each other's existence.

······
When the lights came on, the whole family stayed in He Xiaoping's confinement room in the east wing, sitting on the heated kang, and gathered around the kang table. He Xiaoping was holding the little bean buns she was eating in her arms.

Xiao Rui was sitting next to He Xiaoping, and Wang Zhong and He Mu were sitting on both sides. On the TV, the first Spring Festival Gala was being staged.

Xiaorui's hands and mouth never stopped, eating a few peanuts, grabbing two red dates and longan, peeling two big white rabbit toffee and stuffing them into his mouth. oranges.

The little belly under the sweater was bulging, and felt uncomfortable after a while, and cried directly. Wang Zhong checked it, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, he hugged her to him, and rubbed her belly carefully.

After a while, after a few full belches, Xiaorui's crying gradually stopped.

Mother He looked at Wang Zhong in surprise, and gave a thumbs up: "Liu Feng, your medical skills are good!"

"It's just a little common sense. Xiaorui is bloated after eating too much all of a sudden. You give her this..." Wang Zhong taught He Mu how to deal with the bloated stomach, and He Mu pricked up her ears. He listened very carefully.

Time just passed by.

Before the Spring Festival Gala was finished, the little girl dozed off and fell asleep with her little head on Mother He's lap.

Mother He put the little girl behind, covered her with a quilt, and followed her daughter and son-in-law to watch the Spring Festival Gala with great interest. It was not until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, after the countdown to the New Year, that Mother He returned with Xiaorui who was still sleeping soundly. Next room.

After turning off the TV, Wang Zhong and He Xiaoping also got on the kang.

"Hey!" As soon as Wang Zhong lay down, He Xiaoping couldn't help whispering, "What's going on today? Mom told me to go back this morning?"

Wang Zhong chuckled: "Aside from your husband and me, who else has this ability."

He Xiaoping came close to Wang Zhong, exhaled like blue, and asked curiously: "How did you convince my mother?"

Wang Zhong hurriedly moved his body away: "Stop it, stop it, you won't help put out the fire when you build it up later! I'm the one who suffers."

He Xiaoping's pretty face flushed, and she raised her hand to slap Wang Zhong angrily: "What are you talking about! I'm telling you the truth!"

"Isn't this serious?" Wang Zhong said, "It's not like you haven't seen me when I'm not serious!"

"Oh! Just say it!" He Xiaoping's face became redder, she twisted her body, curious and impatient, her heart was as if there were hundreds of ants scurrying about, and even her tone changed.

Both of them held back for a while, Wang Zhong felt uncomfortable, how could He Xiaoping feel better.

There is a word called food marrow to know taste, which is just right here.

"Okay, don't ask any more questions!" Wang Zhong grabbed He Xiaoping's hand and raised his voice a little: "Hurry up and go to sleep, don't make trouble."

"Humph!" He Xiaoping snorted, turned her head and turned her back: "If you don't say it, don't say it, hum!"

Good guy, just got angry.

Ever since she became pregnant, He Xiaoping's little temper that she didn't have before has gradually come out.

But He Xiaoping was angry for at most 10 minutes, and Wang Zhong didn't need to take the initiative to coax her, and she was fine again.

Wang Zhong just closed his eyes for a while, only two or three minutes later, he felt his body sink, and the familiar fragrance came to his nostrils, as if there was a faint milk fragrance.

"Husband! Are you going to tell others!" The soft and sticky voice rang in his ears, and Wang Zhong's whole body trembled when he said it.

Good guy, is this still He Xiaoping?
Wang Zhong's drowsiness disappeared immediately, he turned his head and widened his eyes, looking in surprise at the pair of shining eyes in the darkness.

"What are you doing!"

But He Xiaoping acted as if she hadn't heard of it, she exhaled like blue, a gust of hot air blew by her ears, Wang Zhong suddenly sucked in a breath of cool air.

Good guy, where did you learn this!I also learned to grind people with soft knives.

This is Wang Zhong's temper, which is determined to be soft and not hard!
If it weren't for the concern that she is not yet confinement, her body immunity is low, and her pelvis and hip bones are still damaged to a certain extent. If she is forced to have intercourse, it is very likely to cause secondary injuries. Wang Zhong is not afraid of these soft knives , Just wiped it off for her.

"do not!"

"I say!"

"Wouldn't it be okay if I told you!" But at this moment, Wang Zhong had no choice but to give in: "Don't wake Xiaodoubao up!"

Xiaodoubao is still sleeping most of the day, and it's not the most annoying time yet, but crying in the middle of the night is also very difficult.

"Chi Chi Chi!" He Xiaoping covered her mouth and laughed secretly, and hurriedly urged: "Hurry up, talk!"

Naturally, Wang Zhong couldn't just copy what he said, and told He Xiaoping verbatim, and then outlined his plan. After hearing this, He Xiaoping was silent for a while, and then suddenly climbed onto Wang Zhong's neck, staring at Wang Zhong in the dark. Wang Zhong's eyes looked for a while, and then Wang Zhong only felt that his eyes were darkened, and his lips were covered with softness.

"Don't!" After being gnawed for a while, Wang Zhong hurriedly pushed He Xiaoping away: "You haven't recovered yet, you can't..."

But only halfway through the conversation, he was blocked back!
