Chapter 264 Aunt Lin's Thoughts
After Dong Bao and Xiao Xu fell asleep, Lord Yan brought in a bucket of hot water, first twisted a hot handkerchief for Li Shi to wipe his face, and then helped Li Shi stand up and burn his feet.

"It's not that I can't move anymore, there's no need to do this." Li Shi smiled, with a sweet heart.

Master Yan also smiled and said: "Be careful, Doctor Wang said that you are not young at this age, even though you have a second child, you should pay more attention to it. Just Dongbao and I have discussed it, and you should not go to the shop after that." Now, leave it to the elder sister to take care of it, hire a woman to do the housework, and you can concentrate on taking care of yourself."

Now that she is pregnant, Li Shi naturally can't worry about labor like in the past, and she is not so repulsive about hiring people to do housework. This child is a surprise for her and Mr. Yan. Both of them value it very much and are extremely careful stand up.

After washing, Mr. Yan blew out the oil lamp and lay down on the bed. Mrs. Li snuggled into Mr. Yan's warm arms, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Master Yan felt the wetness on his shoulders, reached out his hand, touched the tears on Li Shi's face, and immediately became anxious, and asked, "What's wrong with you? You're not feeling well? Don't hold back, I'll call Dr. Wang come over."

After saying that, Mr. Yan was about to get up, but was stopped by Mrs. Li, who said intermittently: "I am happy... I don't know how much virtue I have accumulated in my previous life, so that there is a child like Dongbao Xiaoxu , and a husband like you... Now God has sent me a child, even if I die, I am satisfied..."

"It's unlucky to say that you can't die!" Master Yan was upset, and he put his arms around Li Shi and persuaded softly, "God has long eyes, and he protects good people. You have to live well. Dongbao is still alive." You haven’t gone out, Xiaoxu hasn’t passed the exam yet, and you have this in your belly, so you have to watch him grow up? Don’t these children count on you to take care of them?”

The water in the washbasin was still warm, Mr. Yan put on his jacket and got up, twisted the handkerchief in the dark, and handed it to Shi Li to wipe his face.

After Mrs. Li cried, her mood stabilized a lot, and she babbled to Lord Yan: "I am just happy in my heart. Before... they all thought I couldn't give birth. After so many years, I have given up thinking about it myself. I think Seeing that we have Xiaoxu and Dongbao, we can be regarded as a complete family with sons and daughters. I really didn't expect that Goddess Guanyin gave me a child."

Lord Yan smiled. He and Li Shi are a reorganized family. Compared with those teenage couples, they are more like relatives who take care of each other and are mature adults who do not shy away from the past of both parties in private.

"I've heard people say before that if a woman is too tired from work and under too much pressure...it's difficult to conceive a child." Lord Yan said in a low voice, "You gave birth to Dong Bao, and now you are pregnant with another one, which proves that you are in good health." It's no problem."

There is also the ugly word Mr. Yan kept in his heart and didn't say that the old Song family treated their daughter-in-law like an animal. Thanks to Song Yang, who is a scholar, he is still a scholar, and he doesn't feel sorry for his daughter-in-law. He deserves to have no son.But think about it, no matter how bad Song Xiucai is, he is also Dong Bao's biological father, Li's ex-husband, and the deceased is the oldest, so just think about it for yourself, and don't say it.

Mrs. Li also knows this truth in her heart. When she was in the Song family, she went to the fields like men during the day, and she had to do housework when she got home from work. Sometimes she was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand.Although she is busy in the shop now, there are so many helpers after all, and there is not much work that requires her to work hard. At home, Master Yan and Dong Bao will help with housework, so she is much more relaxed than before.

Others often say that she has come through all hardships and made it through, and even she herself thinks so.

"This is the Bodhisattva taking care of me." Li said with a smile, "I have an idea. I will discuss it with you. We will choose a good day in two days. Let's go to the temple to offer incense to the Bodhisattva. Thank you, Bodhisattva!"

Master Yan nodded, "It should be, and I have to ask Bodhisattva to bless your mother and child."

"One more thing..." Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "In the past few months, Dongbao, the dividend from the shop and workshop, has given me more than 400 taels of silver in total. There is nothing to spend money at home. I I saved up and didn't move... I want to build roads for Tagouji, and pave the dirt roads in the countryside with bluestone slabs, just like our town, so I don't have to worry about road difficulties when it rains."

There is a reason for Li's hesitation. In her opinion, Dongbao's money belongs to the little girl's private house and belongs to Dongbao herself, but the dividends given to her are different. This money should belong to Master Yan. Xu jointly owned it, and it cost a lot to pave the road. I am afraid that 400 taels of silver went in like this.

Before Master Yan could speak, Mrs. Li hurriedly explained: "Today our family is celebrating double happiness. If we don't do something, I always feel bad in my heart. Dongbao will marry into the Lin family in the future, and it is indispensable." Living in the village is for the convenience of Dongbao in the future, and second, our workshop is there, and the workers will work harder. The business of the workshop and shop is good, and the money can be earned back in a year or two. .”

In the darkness, Lord Yan said with a smile: "That's your money, you can use it however you want. Building bridges and paving roads are all great benevolent deeds. No matter how rich and oily old rich men are, they don't want to pluck their hair. What should I do?" Do you disagree? This is to accumulate virtue for our children, God is watching, and our children will be safe and sound in the future."

Mrs. Li is completely relieved. She knows that Mr. Yan is not greedy for money, and Mr. Yan has saved a lot of money over the years. She is worried that Mr. Yan will be dissatisfied because she took care of the people in Tagouji. After all, Tagouji is her ex-husband At home, she was afraid that Mr. Yan would have a knot in his heart.

"Don't worry about the money. If you don't have enough, you can take what I have here. Anyway, you have the keys." Lord Yan smiled, and said with a little teasing: "If our husband and wife are both poor and white, don't Now that we have enough money to eat, let's go to Lai Dongbao for a few months, that little girl has quite a lot of private houses!"

Li Shi also laughed, "Okay, let's go to Lai Dongbao and let her raise our parents!"

Dong Bao, who was sleeping soundly in the warm bed in the backyard, had no idea that she was already being watched by her parents.When she was engaged to Zhang Xiuyu, she was so excited and anxious that she couldn't sleep at night for a few days. Unlike Dongbao, she lived a peaceful life from the beginning to the end. For her, Lin Shi is too familiar and familiar. In the end, things will come to fruition, engagement is just a ceremony, how to live or how to live, it is no different from before.

The next day, Mrs. Li went to the shop accompanied by Mrs. Yan before dawn. Li Hongqin, who was ordering soy milk, said unhappily: "Didn't I tell you to rest at home, why did you come here so early? Afraid of me Wreck your shop?"

Mrs. Li quickly apologized, "No, I'm used to getting up early, and I just came here today to take a look. I'm afraid you and Xiuyu will be too busy, so I won't do anything."

"If you're too busy, just order some tofu curd and cook some porridge." Li Hongqin smiled, "I posted yesterday afternoon about steamed stuffed bun noodles and fried dough stick noodles, and I don't have much to do in the morning. Xia and the others are coming."

Not long after, Qiuxia and some helper daughter-in-laws came over together, and she was startled when she saw Li Shi, and several helper daughter-in-laws hurried over to congratulate Li Shi, the oldest rich-fat daughter-in-law kept pulling Li Shi, and told her What to pay attention to when pregnant, what to eat and what to avoid.

Li's mother has passed away for many years, and her mother-in-law Huang has a vicious temper. There is no older female elder to greet her. Li feels warm in her heart, and feels more and more that she was right when she listened to her daughter. Yes, if she hadn't left the Song family, how could she live the life she is now.

After getting busy, Li Hongqin took the time to ask Aunt Qiuxia, "Did you miss your business last night?" After the banquet yesterday, Qiuxia's sister-in-law didn't go home directly, but went back to her mother's house with Old Man Lin, obviously because she had something to do. Tell Lin Fu and the others that because of Li's pregnancy last night, Qiu Xia came home very late.

Aunt Qiuxia smiled, and said: "I went back so late, and she didn't leave, saying that she wanted to entrust Dashi to help Tian Nier find her husband's house." She lowered her voice and said, "I want to find someone who is just like Dashi." , who passed the examination for the title of scholar."

Li Hongqin's expression was a little unnatural, after thinking about it, she still said to Aunt Qiuxia: "We are all a family, and I won't tell you anything, yesterday, Dashi's aunt kept talking to me , asked me if Xiaoqian was engaged, and asked Tian Nier to call me aunt... Actually, it’s not that I don’t like Tian Nier, but Xiaoqian is definitely going to take the entrance exam. In the past two or three years, I'm not going to say goodbye to him, let me tell the truth, if he can get into Juren, he will naturally be able to say something better, even if he doesn't pass the exam, it's okay to delay the boy's family for a few years, and he can still be a good girl later..."

"I understand what you mean, she is wishful thinking, who doesn't want to choose a better daughter-in-law for herself?" Aunt Qiuxia waved her hand and smiled, "Of course I kissed you, if you don't want to , I can still be angry with you? It’s my Dashi, I didn’t tell him about Tian Ni’er! After all, everyone has his own ambitions, and it’s only natural for her to want to find a talented husband-in-law for her daughter. But, last night My father-in-law persuaded her not to focus on the scholar, if he is a good young man, good family, or not a scholar, Dashi's aunt would be annoyed, saying that Tian Nier has a brother who is a scholar, there is A rich uncle, why can’t he be called a scholar? Can her uncle and her cousin ignore it? Ouch, I felt a little uncomfortable when I heard her say that.” Aunt Qiuxia shook her head and sighed. .

Many sister-in-laws are not very easy to serve, see Guizhi’s sturdy sister-in-law Yang Xiaohong, Aunt Lin is not easy to get along with, but fortunately Old Man Lin and Lin Fu are both sensible people, Aunt Lin married early, Qiuxia has not been treated How angry.

"Then what did Dashi say?" Li Hongqin asked.

Aunt Qiuxia looked helpless, "What else can I say, I want to help see if there are any good ones, anyway, there are only a few scholars he knows, maybe the family has already engaged him."

"Protecting a matchmaker is not a good job." Li Hongqin shook her head, feeling very sympathetic to Lin Shi, "I won't be grateful for the guarantee, if there is any conflict after marriage, if you encounter unreasonable ones, then go to the matchmaker blame!"
