144. One hi
This time the exam was over, and because the test result would take three days to come out, He Gong gave A Nian A Lie a holiday and asked them to take the four brothers of the Feng family to stroll around the scenery of Bishui County. He Zijin is no longer convenient for him to take this boy's action, after all, he is not very familiar with the Feng family.
However, as soon as the boys left, the house was much quieter, and Shen would take advantage of the quiet and empty stomach to take a nap and get tired. When Mrs. He was old, he just squinted a little. He Zijin didn't have the habit of taking a nap, so he continued to make A Nian's clothes. A Nian liked the clothes made by Sister Zijin very much. A Lie was very beautiful at such a young age. He liked to ask the third sister to do them.
When Mrs. He woke up and asked what her girl was doing on nap? She was close to each other, and He Zijin was a lively person. She talked about crosstalks with Mrs. He every day, which was very lively. Mrs. He thought quietly in his heart, and he said strangely that some old ladies always like to keep their grandchildren under their knees. She felt troubled at first, but in fact she felt pretty good.
At least after He Zijin moved here, He's mother had another hobby in addition to cleaning up the vegetable garden, which was to visit He Zijin's house, several trips a day.
After hearing Mama Yu say that the girl was doing needlework and threading, Old Mama He washed her face and walked over. Seeing Old Mama He coming, He Zijin said, "Grandma, are you awake?" He took the needlework and thread down and stood up to help the old lady. Old Mama He didn't need anyone to help her, so she sat on the edge of the kang. While picking up the clothes made by He Zijin, she felt that it was still good. Old Mama He said, "What are the edges in it? It's nonsense."
"It's very easy to make new clothes, just make them look better. This has nothing to do with being particular about being particular or not." He Zijin smiled, "You are grandmother, don't you like to ask your third sister to make clothes for you."
Mrs. He smiled and said, "Are you jealous in girls?" He still learned the words from He Zijin if they are jealous. She actually has a fashionable heart and loves to learn some fashionable words. Mrs. He said in a tone that gives He Zijin a very proud to say, "I still have clothes, I don't plan to make new ones this year. Why don't you make two pairs of socks for me?"
Please don't speak like I am taking advantage of the situation. He Zijin is also busy and said, "A Nian's clothes are ready, I still have to make summer clothes."
Mrs. He glared at me, "You want to cut new clothes again?" This prodigal girl~ life is impossible to pass. Mrs. He calculated for He Zijin. She cut four new sets in the winter last year. Whenever she thought of this number, Mrs. He felt heartbroken. Therefore, she was strictly guarded this spring. He Zijin told the sky down and she didn't make new clothes anymore. If she didn't cut it, the whole family would not cut it. This way, A Lie Nian was going to study in the academy. Mrs. He nodded and allowed them to make a new robe each to wear!
"No, my mother brought it to me. My third sister also wore my aunt's clothes before. Now I can wear them, but I need to change them in size." With a word from He Zijin, Mrs. He narrowed her eyes immediately and brainwashed He Zijin with a smile. "Life is like this. If you can be frugal, you have to be frugal. If you have a new body during the New Year and the Festival, it is a good life." Seeing the clothes in her maid's hand, she asked Madam Yu to raise the charcoal and get an iron.
He Zijin has been very experienced over the years, and even used this kind of primitive iron. When the clothes are ironed, Old Man He said, "This clothes are made of three-point ironing for seven-point ironing. Look, is it much flatter?" It seemed as if she was ironing, but in fact she helped to stretch them.
He Zijin reminded her, "Grandmother, should you book a seat in Furong Tower in advance?"
Mrs. He said, "There is no list yet. I am willing to treat you, but I am afraid that if I fail the exam, I will invite you some guests."
After the clothes were ironed, Madam Yu moved the charcoal basin and He Zijin compared the clothes made for A Nian. Well, the sleeves were still the same long, so there was probably no big problem. Madam Yu poured tea and smiled, "A Nian A Lie studied every day at a young age. I don't believe that I can't get into the academy even if I work so hard. The wife just prepares the money and goes to Furong Tower for a good meal."
Although Mrs. He is stingy on weekdays, she is still willing to go to school. After hearing what Madam Yu said, "This little money is small, and it is a big expense to get into a college. At least two taels of silver a month, this is the tuition fee. Who doesn't have any money for the remaining books and paper?"
Madam Yu said, "This is similar to the old man studying in Mr. Xu's private school before." Mr. Xu's private school is the price. Of course, Mr. Xu's sprint class is even more expensive before the exam, and it costs twenty taels in half a year. However, I heard from the two young masters at home that the sprint class is just like that and I didn't go to it.
After drinking half a cup of tea, Mrs. He said to Madam Yu, "How can this be the same? I heard that the gentlemen invited are all very famous, and there is also a Jinshi master. Mr. Xu is a Juren. If you can get a Jinshi master to teach you in class, you can spend the next two taels of silver." My son listened to Xu Juren's lectures since he was a child, but he only got a scholar. If the grandson could get the Jinshi master's teaching, he would at least have to get a Juren in the future. Mrs. He thought happily, especially in recent years, the family had a good weather, and the income in the fields has been growing steadily. With more than 200 acres of land in A Nian and Yatou, Mrs. He felt a little relieved when talking about the tuition fee of two taels of silver.
Madam Yu is very good at supporting roles, "I am still a wife with knowledge."
Old lady He smiled like a ray of sky. He Zijin looked at the sky outside and saw that Shen came to the inner courtyard. He Zijin shouted through the window. Shen went directly to He Zijin's house and smiled, "There are guests at home, don't scream like this, it's obviously rude." He asked Old lady He again, and said, "How is your mother taking a good afternoon?"
Mrs. He said, "I'm old and not sleepy than you young people. I'll get up early to teach girls how to iron their clothes."
After many years of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. He said nothing to her children and grandchildren, and she would say something to Shen from time to time. Fortunately, Shen was broad-minded and thick-skinned. She smiled and said, "I don't know why I feel sleepy after lunch and I have to sleep for a while."
Mrs. He said, "Just go to bed, I'm at home anyway." Fortunately, Shen can do a small business, or something, otherwise such a lazy daughter-in-law would be really worried. Let's see, whose daughter-in-law is like her family having to take a nap at noon, and who is not a wife who takes a nap at noon and steals her work while her family is resting at noon. Just her family, the mother-in-law gets up early and irons her clothes, and she is still sleeping in her house.
"It's all my mother loves me." Shen almost choked Mrs. He to death with a smile.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law called back to the game. Shen said the serious matter, "The children are going to go out for fun, and they should be hungry when they come back. I will ask Mrs. Zhou to prepare some food."
Mrs. He nodded, "It's time to prepare some, well, I'm going to tell Mrs. Zhou that the girl had just tried to teach her to iron her clothes, but she forgot."
He Zijin said: Others are having trouble, but she is having trouble.
Shen said again, "There are guests at home these days, and the kitchen is also very expensive. I just asked Cui'er to pay two taels of silver to Mrs. Zhou."
Old Madam He dusted her clothes and started to pretend to be stupid, "Oh, you can do these things. I live a year or less, and this family is not yours sooner or later. You will do things carefully and properly, so I don't worry." Logically, now Mrs. He is housekeeper, and all the expenses at home are in the hands of Mrs. He. Even if the money is paid by Shen, Mrs. He should make up for her. But Mrs. He is like having temporary amnesia, and he doesn't mention the matter of two taels of silver at all.
Shen smiled, "It's better for my mother to take a look at me, so I have a clear mind."
In fact, it’s not bad to have a wife who can do small business. Shen’s money is in her hands and often subsidizes her family. Apart from being lazy and taking naps, she doesn’t have much. Her mother is immediately open-minded and doesn’t pick on Shen’s fault. Instead, she said, “You can do these things at home. I’ll teach our girl that she is older and has to learn what she should learn.”
Shen smiled and said nothing. Her husband and brother were the only sister who married far away. As the mother-in-law said, the family will still belong to their husband and wife in the future. Before, she had no relationship with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so Shen naturally would not have the intention to subsidize the family. Now in the past ten years, she has gradually gained money. In addition to the income from the shop, she has gradually invested a hundred acres of land. Since she gave birth to a son, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has improved. Living a family life is a mess, and Ding Mao is really the one who is Ding Mao, and she can't live. Anyway, as long as the mother-in-law and mother-in-law have lived with her, even if the subsidy is one or two, Shen will be happy. The main reason is that the children are still young, and Shen is unwilling to treat the children unfairly.
However, Shen is not a person who does good deeds without leaving a name for himself. Since she subsidizes her family, she naturally wants to let her mother-in-law know. Mrs. He is also interesting in character. As long as she gets affordable, she won’t care much about it.
Therefore, now the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are quite harmonious.
After talking about the family affairs, Shen also looked back at the clothes made by her daughter. Shen compared them in half. The size of the rotator sleeves was evenly matched and the stitches were even. Shen smiled, "The needlework is good." He flattered her mother-in-law, "It was all my mother willing to teach her. After only a few days of moving them, the clothes were made in a good manner."
"The main thing is that the girl has spirituality, otherwise, if she meets someone who is not good at it, she will not be able to teach her no matter how she teaches her." Old Madam He was unwilling to let her do it, "This girl looks like me." Then, in the 100th chapter, he talked about the past, "I was only ten years old when I first made clothes. When I took it out, no one believed that it was made by me. They all said that it was made by the master in the needle and thread shop." Then, Old Madam He glanced at He Zijin and expressed her appreciation generously, "Although the girl is not as good as me back then, she is still the same."
The mother and daughter heard that He had swearing about the ox, and it became cooler in the afternoon. He went to visit Gu Xiaocai Garden. Shen went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. He Zijin went to the small tea stove to cook a large pot of herbal tea and put it in. The small family didn't pay too much attention. The family was busy and there was not enough staff, so they had to work together.
Seeing that Shen's face was a little bad, He Zijin asked, "Mom, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Shen stroking his chest and calmed his breath, and said, "I'm a little stuffy."
He Zijin hurriedly helped Shen sit in the bamboo chair under the melon and vine rack in the yard, "Maybe the smoke is too big under the kitchen. You can sit in the yard for a while, and I and Madam Zhou and the others will make vegetables." He ran to the house and poured a cup of bamboo tea for Shen.
Mrs. Shen drank a little better after tea, and He Zijin asked again, "When did you feel uncomfortable?"
Shen laughed, "It's okay, don't worry, it's just that occasionally."
He Zijin felt a little moved and couldn't help but say, "Mom, don't you have it?" However, A Lie is eight years old. Of course, her mother is not old, she is only thirty years old this year.
He Zijin's words were just a matter of finding out that his wife was sitting lazy again and wanted to ask about the truth. He was just right, and he was in a state of change in his mood at that time. He took two steps at three steps and asked repeatedly, "Is there really there? How many months have you been?"
Mrs. He was a mother-in-law, just asking, but in front of her daughter, her daughter is already twelve years old and has given birth to a son. She hasn't been moving for almost ten years. Suddenly... Shen's face was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm not sure, I haven't changed my clothes for two months. From time to time, I feel short of energy and a little uncomfortable smell of oil."
Old Madam He slapped her thighs and her eyes shone, "What's there to be uncertain about this! It must be there!" Old Madam He smiled happily, and did not think that his wife was lazy at all. He quickly said, "Don't go to the kitchen in the future. Just say whatever you want to eat, and take a break if you feel tired." Then, Old Madam He asked as if Mrs. Shen, the biological mother of Shen, "Do you want to go to sleep for a while? Why don't I feel very energetic?"
Shen was still calm, "Don't worry, mother, it's okay, just sit there."
"Amitus Buddha." Old Niang He clasped his hands together and muttered a word, "This is all the blessing of the Buddha. Our He family has passed down three generations. You must give birth to another grandson for our He family." He also asked Cui'er to go to Ping'an Hall to invite Dr. Zhang.
Shen said hurriedly, "It's busy today, so let's go when you have time." The children were eating outside at noon, so they must have a lot of supper.
"One day is not busy, this is a big deal and I can't delay it at all." Old Madam He attaches great importance to her wife's belly.
Madam Yu came out of the vegetable garden and laughed, "I'll go and have a trip, Ping'an Hall is not far away."
Mrs. He smiled, "This is good too."
