Yoshida Mii

Chapter 338 Servant
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Quanzi's first and second uncles in Anzhou brought people here, because Quanzi went to send New Year's greetings to his future father-in-law and mother-in-law before the New Year, and this time it was the Liu family who came to return the gift.

Dongbao and Aunt Qiuxia were busy preparing lunch in the kitchen, and the servants brought by the Liu family also built an earthen stove in the yard to prepare their own meals.

"Mother, I think the Liu family is pretty good." Dong Bao smiled and said to Aunt Qiuxia, "Quanzi is a married couple. Although they have a great family, they have no intention of looking down on our family. It's polite."

Aunt Qiuxia smiled and nodded Dongbao's forehead, "Look at what you girl said, am I that unreasonable person?" At first, she was unwilling to marry the boss of the boat, because she was afraid that the other party's family would have a big career, so she didn't want to marry him. Looking at their peasant family, she was afraid that the other party would be reluctant to part with her daughter. She was married in name, but actually took her whole son to Anzhou and became his son-in-law, so she couldn't bear it!
Later, I went to Anzhou to see her. The other party was not bad. Liu Fanghua was also a sensible and lively girl, and the key was that he wanted the whole son himself. Can she, a mother, stop her?Now she has long forgotten what happened back then.

Except for the two meat dishes of stewed chicken and steamed crispy pork for lunch, the rest are all tofu dishes. When the wine is finished and the staple food is eaten, Dongbao prepares a hot pot with mutton soup as the bottom of the pot, cut smoked Put meat, frozen tofu, cabbage, croquettes and vermicelli in it, and eat it with white flour steamed buns, which are warm and filling.

Dongbao and Aunt Qiuxia didn't drink, and they didn't plan to go to the table. The two of them planned to have a makeshift meal in the kitchen.However, not long after arriving at the banquet on the hot pot, Quanzi's two uncles came over with wine glasses. The two men running the boat were both dark and strong, standing in the kitchen like two iron towers, He said with a smile that his aunt and younger siblings had worked hard in cooking, and they would come to toast to express their thanks.

The wine served to Aunt Qiuxia and Dongbao was a small wine glass as big as a head and belly, but they used a large wine glass like a teacup, and they drank it all in one gulp. They are so warm and polite, Aunt Qiuxia and Dong Bao couldn't refuse too much, when Dong Bao wanted to drink, Lin Shi hurried over and laughed, "I'll drink it, I'll drink it for her!"

The two brothers Liu laughed and teased: "It's still the elder brother who knows how to love his wife!"

Dong Bao blushed from being teased, turned her head and glared at Lin Shi, it was just two small glasses of wine, she couldn't drink it or something, Lin Shi rushed to drink it for her, this was not the most contemptuous thing in her previous life "Show your love in public"...

But from Dong Bao's point of view, he gave Lin Shi a "fierce" look. From Lin Shi's point of view, it was just his little wife who gave him a shy and timid wink, not to mention how comfortable he was.

In the afternoon, the two Uncle Lius were slightly drunk and ate comfortably. After squatting on Quanzi's bed for a while, they got into the carriage and left. Otherwise, if they drove late, it would be dark before they got home.

They left, but the few servants they brought didn't leave.

"Before Chinese New Year, I heard that someone who was not good-looking knocked on the door of my eldest brother's house and wanted to bully my sister-in-law, so I asked Liu's family how many people they wanted." Quanzi explained, "They gave me the deed of sale, and I will accept it from here. Now, you can do laundry and cooking, you can't let my sister-in-law stay at home alone."

Dong Bao glanced at the five people standing outside, was taken aback, and said, "That's not so much, how much favor is owed to the Liu family!"

Quanzi blinked and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, not all of them are given to you, and two are left to serve parents and grandpa." Then he explained: "We don't lack money to buy people, but who knows what will happen after we buy them back?" How is your character? My sister-in-law is alone at home, who can rest assured? These are the Liu family's for many years, and their character can be trusted."

"Give it all to your sister-in-law." Aunt Qiuxia smiled, "Your mother has been working all her life and has not been served by anyone, so why don't you get used to it."

"That won't work." Dong Bao immediately said, "If mother doesn't need it, then I don't need it either." There is no reason for a mother-in-law to work and drive all the servants to serve her daughter-in-law. Even if Aunt Qiuxia is reasonable, she can't do it.

"It's all a family, why are you being so polite!" Quanzi waved his hand and said with a smile, "There are two in a family, the daughter-in-law with the son belongs to the sister-in-law, and the other three belong to the whole family, serving the parents. And grandpa. Also, after the new year is over, mother should stop working in the shops in the town, there will be someone serving you at home!"

Aunt Qiuxia smiled and waved her hands, "If I want to be at home and be served every day like the old rich lady in the drama, that would be called suffering! I am willing to go to the town to help, and I am not tired from working. Let's talk together, look at the people on the street, it's better than being bored at home! Even you, you can't get home when you go out every day, so you are allowed to go out, and I am not allowed to go out?"

Her work in the town seems to be quite busy, but she is only busy in the morning market with the most people. After she is busy, she can sit in the store to rest and chat. Some customers can chat, and sit down to drink when there are few people. Douhua can chat with her for an hour, and she can talk to her parents about everything. She quite likes this job.

The daughter-in-law assigned to Dong Bao's family name is Xu, and she is 34 to [-] years old. However, the boy she brought with her is only five or six years old. It is said that the family suffered a disaster ten years ago, and she is the only one left in the family. She escaped with her husband, went to Anzhou, sold herself to Liu's family, and later gave birth to her youngest son, Tiezi. Unfortunately, a few years ago, her husband ran a boat with Liu's family. When the wind was high and the waves were rough, he missed the rope and fell into the river. Didn't catch it.

After discussing with Lin Shi, Dong Bao temporarily let Mrs. Xu and Tie Zi live in the tile-roofed house in the front yard, and when the spring came, they built two wing rooms for the two of them.

Sister-in-law Xu looks clean and kind, and when she arrives at Dongbao's house, she will lead Tiezi to kowtow to the "new grandpa and new grandma". Seeing Tiezi's ignorant and frightened little eyes, Dongbao's heart immediately softens, and she smiles and wakes them up. .

"If our family is not happy with this set, we will kneel at every turn." Dong Bao said.

Mrs. Xu's work is very clean. She started tidying up the room and the stove as soon as she arrived, and took all the dirty clothes to wash. The heavy clothes she changed before the New Year were difficult to wash. Sister-in-law Xu insisted on refusing to wash, but Dong Bao had no choice but to go to the stove and boil a large pot of hot water for her to wash with hot water.

At night, the two of them lay in bed and hugged each other. Dong Bao lay on Lin Shi's chest. There were crackling and sporadic firecrackers, and the northwest wind was blowing. Dong Bao felt that there was no warmer place than this bed, like a small world isolated from the world, with only her and Lin Shi.

"Go to sleep." Lin Shi said, stroking Dong Bao's smooth back with his big warm hands.

Dong Bao was a little hesitant. The two were newly married for less than three months, and it was the time when they were glued together, especially in the first few days when they were married. She also likes it very much, and the two of them always have to toss together at night before falling asleep together.

But today...

But I can't let her be a girl and say to Lin Shi: "Hey, did you forget that today I haven't yelled yet!" Oh my god, I'm so ashamed!
Thinking about it, Dong Bao's hand became disheveled, he touched Lin Shi's strong waist, and then Lin Shi's chest, and the guy underneath raised his head.

Lin Shi hilariously grabbed Dong Bao's hand and said, "Hurry up and go to sleep, what are you doing moving around?"

Dong Bao said cheekily: "I'll touch my things, you can sleep on your own!" Anyway, the room was dark, so he couldn't see her glowing red face.

Lin Shi really couldn't laugh or cry.

"Also, why did you come here to drink for me today? It's not like I can't drink just two small glasses of wine, so I can make others laugh at me." Dong Bao couldn't help complaining when he remembered what happened in the afternoon.

Lin Shi kissed Dong Bao, and said, "You don't even remember it yourself? Your one this month hasn't come yet. Didn't you come on the fifth day of the first two months?"

After Lin Shi's reminder, Dong Bao suddenly remembered that her aunt was always accurate, sometimes a day or two late at most, but today is the tenth day...

"You mean I'm pregnant?" Dong Bao touched his belly in disbelief, it was flat, without any ups and downs, and he couldn't feel a little life taking root and sprouting inside.

Lin Shi also stretched out his hand to cover her hand on her belly, and said with a smile, "I don't know, the days are too short and the doctor won't be able to tell. But we have to make preparations, you are pregnant, and alcohol will definitely not work." Drink, I only remembered it after they served the wine, so I ran over quickly, luckily in time."

When Lin Shi said this, Dong Bao also looked forward to it. She didn't expect that she would be pregnant so soon, and she would be a mother at the age of 16. She is a well-known underage, short-sighted, and this news will definitely occupy the newspapers in her previous life. A place in the social edition has attracted a group of public intellectuals to criticize the current social atmosphere and even systemic problems overwhelmingly.Dong Bao couldn't help but put his arms around Lin Shi's neck and asked, "Then do you want a boy or a girl?"

"They're all the same." Lin Shi smiled, "But if you want to say which one you prefer, then let's be a girl."

Dong Bao recalled the day she got married, Li's heartbroken crying, curled his lips and said: "The girl is not good, she has been brought up through untold hardships, so she married into someone else's family, and she was sad, so let's have a son and marry him specially." A good girl from someone else's family!"

Lin Shi couldn't help but smile. He remembered that when he was a child, Dong Bao was only a little over one year old, and just learned to speak, and sweetly called "Daddy" to Song Yang. Tender hands, teach her to call "brother".

He thought, if a little girl like Dongbao called him daddy, it would really melt his sweet heart. Even if the girl asked him for the stars and moons in the sky, he would have to find a way to pick them up for her.
