"It's better to be at home, to be at ease." Lin Xueman lay on the warm kang, listened to the whistling wind outside, and looked around her carefully furnished room, feeling very cordial, as if she had been away for a long time.

"I also have this feeling, I feel very quiet in my heart." Xiao Chengyu turned over and looked at her, looked at the hazy moonlight coming in from the window, and said softly, "It's because there are too many memories of us in this room. Have you been married for a year?"

"It's been a whole year, don't forget, today's Laba, A Li made Laba porridge in the morning, and you said it tastes good." She looked at him and said calmly, "You won't even forget what kind of relationship we have. right?"

"Oh, I remembered, we got married on this day last year. He smiled and hugged her, "I forgot it for a while, why didn't you remind me?You see, you have also been with me for a year. Not only did you open a restaurant, you also gave me a baby. You deserve credit and hard work.I have to express it no matter what! "

"Then how do you express it?" She leaned in his arms and asked in a low voice, thinking about what happened on the night when the two got married, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of her mouth. On this day last year, she slept alone on the bed, Also listening to the whistling wind outside, he slept heartlessly until dawn, while he went to the stone house by the sea and huddled with Huzi and the others all night.

"What do you want?" He asked back, "As long as you tell me, even if it is a star in the sky, I will try to pick it off for you."

"Then I want the stars in the sky, you pick them off for me!" She looked at him solemnly.

"Okay, you wait. I will pick it for you." He said vowedly.

The two couldn't help laughing.

"I just want you to remember me and the child no matter where you go." Listening to the voices in the old house, Lin Xueman remembered that he would go to the capital to see off his relatives tomorrow, and said reluctantly, "Remember to come back early for the New Year, I'm waiting for you at home."

"It took more than ten days to go back and forth, and I'll be back soon!" He put his hand on her stomach and stroked it gently, and said softly, "Take care of yourself. Eat well, sleep well, take care of the children, don't Make me worry."

"I will, don't worry." She said, suddenly feeling a little sad in her heart, there will be more than two months.She was about to give birth, and she didn't want him to leave her for half a step, even if it was only a dozen days, she would feel very sad, she hoped that he could stay with her, and it was best not to leave for a day.She was in a panic as she was about to give birth.There is no hospital here, only Wenpo, it's scary to think about it....

"By the way, Xueman, I still have something to discuss with you." Seeing that she became silent again, he smiled, "Second sister is getting married. The elder brother should also prepare a dowry for her. It stands to reason. We should follow the eldest brother The second brother takes it, but the situation of our family is a bit special, what do you think should be done?"

"I think we'd better follow the eldest brother to take it! The two of them must have discussed it. How much they pay, we follow. No matter how special the situation is, the three brothers have to pay the same share." Lin Xueman thought for a while , and said, "Since the opening of the seafood restaurant, the second sister has been helping there. Naturally, I will not treat her badly. I have prepared a red envelope for her a long time ago, which is her reward. Of course, this is different from the dowry. One size fits all."

"Then do as you say, I will listen to you!" Xiao Chengyu said, "I will do these things, and tomorrow I will ask my elder brother, we will give as much as they give, and I also gave your red envelope to my mother That's fine, tomorrow will be very busy, and the money box will probably be sealed in advance."

"Yeah." She replied softly.

Throughout the night, low voices were heard from the old house. On the eve of the wedding, the mother naturally had too many worries, and she was probably telling her daughter one by one!

The two people here didn't fall asleep either, and they were confused for a while. They heard the voice from the other side, woke up, and chatted a few more words. Before dawn, they heard someone knocking on the door of the old house and the voice of a child. The boss and the second family are here!

So early!

"You go to sleep! I'll go down and boil some hot water for you first, the old house is getting ready, I have to go and have a look." Xiao Chengyu got up quickly, put on his clothes, got off the kang, and lit the lamp.

"You go! I'll boil the water." Lin Xueman hurriedly followed suit, put on her clothes and got off the kang, it was pitch black outside, although there was no wind, it was still terribly cold.

"No, it's not too late. The sister-in-laws are here to cook. You are inconvenient, so don't rush over there." He filled the pot with water, went to the courtyard to hold firewood, and immediately a small man ran over from the small wooden door. The small figure is Qiaoling, she raised her face and asked, "Uncle Third, I'm going to see Aunt Third."

"Go! Your third aunt is in the house!" Xiao Chengyu smiled, hugged the firewood, and led her into the house.

"Third aunt." When Qiaoling saw Lin Xueman, she happily hugged her and asked, "Why haven't you come back for so long, Qiaoling misses you so much."

"Auntie also wants to be clever." Lin Xueman leaned over to look at her carefully, and saw that her fair face was still covered with some light makeup, her hair was combed neatly, and she was still tied with the two red-headed ropes. She turned around. He took the bag on one side, took out two small red silk flowers from it, and said with a smile, "Look, Auntie brought you a gift, do you like it?"

"I like it, it's so beautiful." Qiaoling took it over with excitement, looked over and over, and smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"Come on, Auntie will put it on your head." Lin Xueman carefully pinned the two silk flowers to her temples, and said with a smile, "Quickly show your third uncle, how pretty we are Qiaoling."

Qiaoling quickly ran to Xiao Chengyu, pointed to the silk flower on her head, and asked in a childish voice: "Third uncle, doesn't it look good?"

"Pretty." Xiao Chengyu was lighting a fire in front of the stove, looked up at her, and joked, "Qiaoling, why do you have to dress up so nicely?"

"My mother said, three-point looks, seven-point dress, a woman is good-looking, and can be the magistrate's wife." Qiaoling looked at him seriously, and said, "She also said that Master Xu doesn't like Eldest Aunt, that's because The eldest aunt is not good-looking, and she doesn't know how to dress up."

This Qiaoling has a grudge against her mother, it's childish to say anything!

Seeing that she mentioned Xu Yuanqi, Lin Xueman stopped talking.

Xiao Chengyu glanced at Lin Xueman calmly, then at Qiaoling, and asked, "Qiaoling, do you want to be the magistrate's wife when you grow up?"

"How high is the county magistrate?" Qiaoling asked seriously.

This kid knows so much!

He even knows these grades!Lin Xueman couldn't help chuckling.

"Qipin." Xiao Chengyu replied solemnly, "Didn't your mother want you to be the magistrate's wife? When you grow up, Third Uncle will let you marry a magistrate."

"Qiaoling, if we want to be first-class wives, why do we want to be the magistrate's wife." Lin Xueman laughed at the side.

"Which one is higher, the first-rank official or the seventh-rank official?" Qiaoling thought for a while, then snapped his fingers, and said, "Is it the seventh-rank official?"

Xiao Chengyu and Lin Xueman looked at each other and laughed in unison.

At this time, the water in the pot boiled and steamed, and the room warmed up.

"Master Xu is the seventh rank, a high-ranking official. When I grow up, he will definitely get married. Since he doesn't like Eldest Auntie, he must also look down on me." Qiaoling thought for a while, and said seriously, " Then I'll be a first-class lady! Grandpa said that one should not be too greedy."

Mrs. Yipin still not greedy?

Lin Xueman and Xiao Chengyu suddenly bent over with laughter.

The two washed up, led Qiaoling, and went to the old house.

Brothers Xiao Jingzhi and Xiao Chengshan stood at the door, preparing the carriage. They were going to the beach to set off firecrackers. Because they had to go by sea, they had to go to the Dragon King Temple to offer incense. Xiao Chengyu also walked over to help. The father and son chatted with each other .

Lin Xueman went up to see her father-in-law and uncle, led Qiaoling into the house.

The old house was already very busy. Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Yu were busy in the stove. When they saw Lin Xueman, they exchanged a few words and then started busy cooking. Xiao Yun sat in the stove and lit the fire.

Wen Bin and Wen Bo probably got up early and fell asleep on the kang. Yang took the quilt and covered them.

Xiao Qing had finished grooming and was sitting on the kang. Seeing Lin Xueman coming in, she called softly, "Sister-in-law three."

Lin Xueman responded, and looked up at her. She hadn't put on makeup yet, nor was she as shy as a married woman. She sat there with a calm expression, as calm as water.

"Xueman, you stay here with the second younger sister. I'm off to cook. When your father and the others come back, we'll have dinner." Yang Shi said, and hurried to the smoky kitchen.

Xiao Qing was not talkative by nature, and she was not in a good mood at the moment, so she sat there without saying a word.

Lin Xueman knew what she was thinking and didn't know what to say.

The aunt and sister-in-law looked at each other silently.

On the contrary, Qiaoling ran back and forth, showing off the two silk flowers on her head from time to time, telling her mother that they were brought back from Yuzhou City by the third aunt.

Yu glanced at the silk flowers on her daughter's head and smiled disapprovingly.

"Your third aunt is really willing." Shen stood up, looked at it carefully, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, don't underestimate these two silk flowers. They are made from the famous flower brocade in Yuzhou City. Made of high-quality brocade, these two are worth a tael of silver!"

Xiao Chenghai has been sailing the boat for several months. He thought he earned some money, and would bring back some rare gadgets every time. After a long time, Shen's vision has naturally broadened a lot. The reason why she knows this kind of brocade is that It was because Xiao Chenghai once brought her back a piece of silk handkerchief, which he said was from Yuzhou, so it was naturally this kind of flower brocade.

"So expensive?" Surprised, Mrs. Yu hurriedly got up and looked at it again and again, and said awkwardly, "I thought it would only cost three to five yuan to coax a child!"

I don't know the goods!Shen smiled disdainfully.

Yang Shi and Xiao Yun looked at each other without saying a word.

After a while, Xiao Jingzhi and his three sons came back from setting off firecrackers by the sea. It was still dark, and one or two barking dogs could be heard from far away on the street, embellishing this silent morning.

The food at home is also ready, and the kang is full, exuding fragrance.

Both Shen and Yang woke up their children sleeping on the kang to eat.

The whole family sat on the kang with different expressions. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
