take a wife to support the family

Chapter 473

After sending the old couple back to their hometown, Song Haonian and his wife took their children to celebrate the New Year in the capital, and returned to Taiping County when the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming.

At that time, peach blossoms and willows were green, competing for beauty, and even people's complexions became bright and moist. Song Haonian returned home with his wife and children on a boat, not to mention a lot of joy.

The husband and wife either take care of the girls' school in the county, or take a short break in the town. The main thing is to raise children and take care of the students, and they have a group of brothers, sisters, relatives and friends to help them, so that they can't worry about it to them.

Those embarrassing people didn't dare to join them. Although they lived in the town, it seemed that those people didn't exist.

In the midsummer of this year, the old man Song couldn't bear it and died. Song Haoshi didn't dare to look for Song Haonian, so he held a funeral at home.

Song Xiuxiu burst into tears when she heard the news. She was a married woman and she wore mourning, but she refused to ask Liu Sanping to help: "The pair of unconscionable things didn't regard me as a girl. Whenever you show up, they will surround you like leeches. The family can't get rid of it."

Liu Sanping persuaded Song Xiuxiu to relax, "You have been feeling uncomfortable these few days, so you can give birth."

Song Xiuxiu nodded and said, "It's not only that you don't go to help and don't wear mourning, even Yuanyuan won't let her wear mourning."

Yuanyuan was having fun with Jun'er when she heard someone say that the old man of the Song family was dead, but she didn't know that it was her grandfather, so she pinched Jun'er's cheek and said with a smile: "Run for me, my candy will be given to you." you eat."

Jun'er was rubbed on the face, and said vaguely: "Sister is the worst!"

Yuanyuan let go of Jun'er: "I'm bad?"

Jun'er dodged and ran behind Yuanyuan, and hung her whole body around her neck: "The worst, the worst!"

Yuanyuan didn't guard against it, she fell backwards, the two of them rolled onto the kang with a grunt, Jun'er knocked his arm on the kang table, he didn't cry, but Yuanyuan was afraid of his pain, so she pulled and rubbed her for half a day.

Song Xiuxiu looked at the pair of children, smiled from the bottom of her heart, and said to Liu Sanping: "It would be great if they were always like this."

Liu Sanping said: "Is it okay for their own siblings?"

Because of her father's death, Song Xiuxiu didn't go to Song Haonian's house for several days, just because she was not comfortable, but Yuanyuan often took Jun'er to play, and said to Baihe: "I will be able to go to school next year. !"

Regardless of Song Xiuxiu, Song Haonian's family heard from somewhere else that the old man Song was gone, and the elder sister-in-law said, "It turned out that he belonged to the same family. We can't pretend that we don't know when he died. When we went to burn incense, we smelled bad It's fuzzy."

The weather was too hot at this time, and the dead body was parked in the house. After a long time, it was so smoked that people wanted to vomit. In addition, old man Song had bed sores, which worsened even faster.

When Song Haonian heard about it, he said to Baihe: "He raised me up, I'll go to offer incense sticks."

Lily knew that he valued friendship and that old man Song treated him badly, but he couldn't ignore kindness at all.If the old man Song treated him as his son, he would be happy to have him kneel in front of the coffin and preside over the funeral in sackcloth and filial piety, but old man Song is not that kind of kind person, Song Haonian went to offer incense and burn paper, which is considered to be their friendship.

When Song Haonian went to Song Haoshi's house, he really smelled bad, but when he went out, Lily gave him a piece of ginger and put two sachets on him, so he could suppress the nausea.

Song Haoshi was very surprised when he saw Song Haonian, but he didn't dare to pester him, so he handed him three sticks of incense.Song Haonian took it, without even kneeling down, bowed three times, put incense on it, and then gave the prepared gift.

Then Mrs. Dong and Jin Bao knelt before the coffin to return the salute. Both of them were crooked. How could there be any sadness on their faces?It was full of impatience, especially when Jin Bao was kneeling crookedly, his body was like a mountain of meat, his pair of mung bean eyes were sunken in his fat face, almost invisible.

Song Haonian looked at him, old man Song and Niu loved Jin Bao so much, this kid didn't have any filial piety.He didn't want to stay in this dirty place any longer, so he strode away.

As soon as he got home, he first lit a brazier with cypress branches and grapefruit leaves to smoke, and then took a good bath with wormwood, so that Song Haonian felt cleaner.

If it's really fun to watch, and you want to jump over the brazier when you are making a fuss, Mrs. Chang said: "Be careful, brother, it's not fun to fall into it!"

"I won't fall," Ruzhen said loudly, "Tomorrow I will be taller than Dad."

Song Haonian heard it in the room, couldn't help laughing, changed his clothes and came out, took his son and put it in front of him, father and son compared each other: "Are you going to be taller than me tomorrow?"

If he tried his best to stand on tiptoe, he still couldn't reach Song Haonian's waist, he still refused to admit defeat, and grabbed his father's belt to climb up, "Dad, hold me up!"

Song Haonian hugged him, Ruzhen was happy now: "I'm taller than you!"

Ruchun is shorter than Zhen, walked over and said seriously: "Father, I'm as tall as you."

Song Haonian hugged Ruchun with one free hand: "Then you have to eat well and don't be picky." This child has always been difficult to raise, not as strong as his brother.

Ruchun thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I want to grow taller."

Ruzhen squinted at Ruchun: "Little dwarf."

Ruchun immediately retorted: "Big fool!"

If it wasn't for Song Haonian holding her, the two brothers would have fought immediately, afterward Song Haonian couldn't help saying to Lily: "Let's have a girl, my son is too naughty."

Lily smiled and said: "You are so spoiled with children, even a girl, I think you are very skinny."

Besides Song Haoshi's place, the old man Song died, and he didn't confiscate much gifts, and he refused to spend money to invite Mr. Yinyang to see a cemetery, so he went to ask Song Xiuxiu where Niu's family was buried, near the mass grave. Make an acupoint in front of you and bury the old man Song.

He behaves like this, some people in the town will naturally say that he is not as affectionate as Song Haonian, Song Haonian is an adopted son, he is mean like that, and he knows how to go to incense, Song Haoshi's own son is not even a good cemetery I can't bear to give it to my parents.

Some people say that no matter how much there is, a piece of meat from Song Haoshi is indispensable, and people eat meat behind closed doors, so why do they care that their parents' graves are lonely outside?

Days passed by, Song Haonian was not able to go to the capital this winter: it turned out that in response to Song Haonian's words, Lily was pregnant again, and it was inconvenient to travel in winter, so the couple stayed at home to raise the baby.

It is true, he is Song Haonian's eldest son, clamoring to go to the capital for his father to visit the emperor and believe in the king.Song Haonian thought about it, and felt that his son's idea was good, so he saluted with him.

Lily was so angry that he couldn't eat for two days, "He's only a little old, but we have to take him on the road, and we have to be careful and always take care of everything. What on earth are you thinking, you dare to let him go so far alone?"

Song Haonian said: "If it's really a son, it's not good if it's tied to our belts all the time. If he grows up, he will be useless. He is protected by Jin Yiwei, and he is used to walking this way. Nothing will happen again, just rest assured."

Even so, if he really set off on the road, he would not be able to sleep night after night, and he would comfort Lily to make her feel at ease, until he received letters from the capital. At the grandfather's house, the husband and wife are relieved.

In the new year, the women's school accepted another group of students in February. This time, both Zhu Minyi and Zhu Miner had graduated, and Zhu Miner stayed to help teach.

Mrs. Sheng's youngest son ran errands for Young Master Liu, and they all went in and out of the school. After a long time, he and Zhu Min saw eye to eye.Mrs. Sheng has not been in charge of the kitchen of Liu's Mansion for the past two years. She retreated and left the land to Mrs. Lin's consort. .

Uncle Sheng's management position will be passed on to the eldest son in the future, and the younger son and his wife will work hard to save money for a few more years and start a small business at home.The beauty is that Zhu Minyi has a gentle temperament and is willing to endure hardships and stand hard work. This youngest son is clever and humorous. They make up a couple and live a very good life.

The rest of the female surname is still in school, Xing'er has been promoted to another level, and she has become more sensible and intelligent. Now she has the demeanor of everyone in her actions. Many people will praise her when they see Liu Yi and his wife. Li Caifeng is willing to say a few words: "How can she deserve such a compliment?"

When Liu Yi heard people praise her daughter, she laughed so hard that she could see her teeth, and said to others: "My daughter has been very obedient since she was born. I haven't touched a finger of her, she is so capable!"

In the past two years, he has also slowly let go of his obsession with having a son, and he always sighs every time he thinks about it, but he has to accept his fate, he is destined to have no children, only Xing'er is a top-notch person, and he treats Xing'er with all his heart.

People's hearts are fleshy, no matter how difficult Li Caifeng and Xing'er's heart was, Liu Yi was warmed up again, and the family gradually became harmonious like before, and it seemed that Fourth Sister Wu had never appeared before.

Ruzhen couldn't stay in the capital in April, and said: "My mother is about to give birth, I have to go back and see if she gave birth to a younger brother or younger sister for me."

When Ruzhen came home, Lily's confinement child had already sat halfway, and Ruzhen, who had grown much taller, called as soon as she entered the door: "Mother, brother or sister?"

Lily smiled: "You see it yourself?"

Ruzhen climbed onto the kang to see, and was startled: "Two!"

Lily nodded. After she gave birth, Song Haonian sent a letter to the capital. At that time, Ruzhen was already on her way early, so she just missed it, so Ruzhen didn't know that she had given birth to twins.

This end of the Li family has never had twins, but back then the crown prince and Princess Changping were twins, they were born to the same mother as Song Haonian, it is not unusual for Lily to give birth to twins.

Sure enough, the royal family was very happy when the news reached the capital: Princess Xin has so many children, none of them gave birth to twins, only Song Haonian's family gave birth to a pair of twins, which is really auspicious.

The two children had names just after they were one month old: the boy came out earlier and was called Ruzhuo, and the girl came out later and was two taels heavier than her elder brother and was called Ruying.

Ruzhen doesn't quite remember what Ruchun looked like when she was born, but seeing her siblings are white and tender, sleeping soundly in swaddling clothes with their eyes closed, she said casually, "Beautiful than Brother Chun!"

Brother Ru Chunxiang thought about it for half a year, but he didn't expect this person to say such a thing as soon as he came back, and he was very wronged immediately, holding his mouth and saying: "We are all prettier than you, you are the ugliest!"

Ruzhen laughed loudly, hugged Ruchun and said, "Look at what good things my brother brought you."

Ruchun followed him to play with tears in his eyes, for the sake of the toy, forgive his brother for being a villain.
