40. Pomegranate (1)
He Gong went to Feng's house for more than ten days before he returned. One way was to go; the other way was to be in-laws, so he should stay for a few more days; the third way was He Gong's concern for his sister, so he waited until his sister, and his brother-in-law returned from the imperial capital. After the Feng family had a mourning, he said goodbye and went home.
Mrs. He had been looking forward to it. Seeing her son coming back in a hurry, she had a lot of words to ask her, but she also suppressed Jiaoqi and ordered her son to go back to the room to wash, take a break and then come over to speak. When He Zijin saw his father coming back, she followed him happily. He Gong cleaned his face, so she handed her handkerchief on the side, which was so sensible. He Gong changed his clothes and hugged his daughter in his arms, smiling, "I haven't seen her for a few days, why do I feel that the girl is losing weight?" Knowing that his daughter is jealous, He Gong always hugged her daughter first.
Shen handed her a cup of warm tea to her husband and laughed, "It's not easy to change your teeth, it's not easy to eat meat, so you'll lose weight."
He Zijin immediately bared her mouth and showed her leaking front teeth to her father. He Gong was amused and laughed, "Then eat something soft and you must not lick it when changing teeth. Once you lick it, the teeth will be crooked."
He Zijin nodded and said, "A Lie has also started to teeth."
He Gong looked at his son again. He Zijin opened his brother's mouth to show her father. Sure enough, his front teeth appeared, and it was a little white. He Lie thought his sister was teasing him, so he grinned and drooled his father's saliva, and his smile looked very pleasing. He Gong liked him very much and said to Shen, "The child is really the same every day. Look at A Lie, it seems that he has grown a lot."
"The children are like this. That day, I will be younger if I take out the clothes I wore a month ago." Shen asked with a smile, "Is my husband still going smoothly?"
"Everything is fine." He Gong was a little hungry. Seeing that the side of the plate was a little worried, he wanted to eat some. Shen said, "My husband eats two less pieces. There is noodle soup under the kitchen, and you can get it immediately." He ordered Cui'er to ask Mrs. Zhou to put a bowl of wontons for her husband.
When He Gong heard that there were wontons, he put down the fruit and asked casually, "It's not too early or late, why are there noodle soup?"
"I think you should come back too. Two days ago, I asked Mrs. Zhou to chase some noodles out and hang them on the rod to dry. It won't break even if it's left for a few more days. The stove under the kitchen was warmed with big bone soup, and the hot bowl of noodles was brought to the stomach. It would be more affordable to eat it." Shen said, and wiped his son's saliva with a handkerchief and asked, "Sister, is it okay for brother-in-law?"
"All good." He Gong asked, "I'll leave these days, is it okay at home?"
Shen laughed, "It's nothing, I just miss you."
As the couple talked, Mrs. Zhou brought the noodles. The noodles under bone soup were made of a few slices of beef and a few green vegetables. I was afraid that He Gong would speak a lot, Mrs. Zhou also served a small plate of red oil pig ears and a small plate of cucumber sauce.
When they met, Shen stopped talking to her husband and served him with food. After drinking this bowl of noodles, he was warm all over. He Gong smiled and touched his stomach, "I finally calmed down."
"There is still there under the kitchen. If you are not full, then give me another bowl."
"I won't eat anymore, it will be the time for dinner in a while." After drinking another cup of tea, He Gong stood up and said, "It's great. Let's go to my mother's house to talk, my mother is thinking about it."
Shen smiled, held his son and daughter, and the family went to He Lao Niang's house.
He Gong first talked about the funeral of the Feng family and said, "It's a coincidence that Mrs. Feng is very tough. This year's pomegranates are ripe. Looking at Mid-Autumn Festival, he said that he bought some good pomegranates from outside. When Mrs. Feng was eating pomegranate, she accidentally choked her pomegranate seeds in her throat. She didn't breathe and passed."
Old Madam He was shocked, "So, it was because the pomegranate seeds were choked to death!"
He Gong nodded, and Old Madam He said, "I haven't eaten pomegranate in eight lives!"
He Gong:...
"Mom, don't say that, maybe it's fate." He Gong was speechless about Mrs. Feng's way of death, but his evaluation of her mother was even more speechless. It was just a coincidence. Who would rather die like this?
"I'll just talk at my own house." Old Madam He had long complained that Mrs. Feng died when she was choked to death by pomegranate, and even more, she felt that her in-laws not only died when she died, but also implicated her son-in-law. Old Madam He asked, "Your sister, brother-in-law, is your brother-in-law?"
"It's all good. Brother Yi'er has grown much taller, not like a boy she used to be." He Gong laughed, "My sister has a body again, and it's very tiring to come back all the way. Fortunately, she asked the doctor to take her pulse and prescribe the fetal pill, which was fine."
Old Madam He was surprised, happy and sad, and finally said, "I am far away and inconvenient everywhere. I don't know such a big deal!" He said, "I would have liked to have another brother for Brother Yi."
He Gong laughed, "Brother and sister are all good. Mom, don't worry, I'll go and see my sister after a while. After all, I'll go back to my hometown now, and it's definitely easier to get in and out of the way than when I was in the imperial capital."
"That's the same." Although the in-laws died in the wrong time, the way to die was embarrassing, fortunately, the son-in-law was at least a Jinshi master, and his daughter was pregnant again, which was also a joy. Mrs. Feng's cowardly death was thrown out of her mind, and she was happy for her daughter, laughing, "Let's burn incense tomorrow."
He Zijin said, "Bless my aunt to give birth to a little cousin."
When Mrs. He heard this, she smiled happily, "That's it."
He Zijin smiled in a sarcastic way, "If my aunt gave birth to a cousin, I will tell my cousin from now on, your grandmother, you prefer boys over girls and don't like your daughter~"
Old lady He laughed and scolded, "I'll talk nonsense anymore, let's see if I won't tear your mouth."
He Zijin pretended to discuss with He's mother, "It's time to have supper, and I'll tear it for my grandmother after I finish eating."
He Gong laughed, "I only have Zi Jin here, so I keep it busy every day."
Mrs. He touched her eyelids and said, "I have a headache every day. It's better for my A-Lie. She doesn't speak, but she looks well-behaved at first glance."
He Zijin couldn't help but complain, "He wants to say something, will he say it?"
"Don't look at A Lie, I understand it in my heart." Old lady He asked her grandson to hug her and said to her son with a smile, "Every time I hug A Lie and go out, everyone praises her handsomeness whenever I see her."
"This is all like me." He Zijin sighed.
"Go! You are everywhere." Old Madam He touched her grandson's little fleshy face, "A Lie was born like your grandfather."
The conscience of heaven and earth, He Lie is like a mold carved out like Shen Su. Fortunately, Old Mother He was able to get into her husband who died early. He Zijin was still interested, "Oh, then my grandfather must be very handsome."
Old Madam He immediately felt energetic, "That's more important than that, when you were from all over the countryside and five miles, there was nothing you didn't dislike your grandfather when you mentioned it."
"What are you praising my grandfather?"
Mrs. He talked endlessly, nothing more than "benevolence and righteousness", "capable of doing things", and so on. Anyway, as long as it is an advantage, Mrs. He is not stingy with her husband.
He Gong was so happy that He Zijin pretended to say to Old Man He, "If you want me to tell me that A Lie can follow his grandfather in the future, he will be a big success."
Old Madam He smiled, "I think A Lie must be more promising than your grandfather." Speaking of this, Old Madam He and Shen said, "It's time to prepare the things that A Lie captured Zhou."
"I will only capture Zhou next year. It's too early for you to do it." He Zijin said,
"What's wrong with preparing early? A Lie is our eldest grandson." Old Madam He smiled and kissed his beloved grandson and told Shen specifically, "Create two more books." When Shen Xuan grabbed Zhou, he grabbed a pen and a book, which made Old Madam He envious. He felt that Shen Xuan would be a good student in the future, so he hoped that his beloved grandson would also catch the same one.
Shen naturally responded.
Because Mrs. Feng's way of dying was a bit indecent, Mrs. He told her family not to go out and talk nonsense. Although she despised Mrs. Feng in her heart, it was embarrassing to be choked to death by pomegranate seeds, the Feng family was the in-laws of the He family after all, and the He family still had to maintain their dear face.
Due to Mrs. Feng's death, Old Lady He looked at the pomegranate placed in the house and turned her head to the third girl next to her and said, "You can eat it."
He Zijin really convinced Mrs. He. After hearing about Mrs. Feng, he was afraid that he would be choked to death by pomegranate seeds. Is this transferring the risk?
