34. One thing falls one thing

Li gave birth to a daughter, He Xin held a grand ceremony for the three baptisms. Not to mention the tribe members, He Xin had a wide range of social relationships, and even the county magistrate's wife showed her face, let alone other famous families in the county.

So, when Mrs. He went home, he said, "The gifts you prepared were a little thin. If you had known this, you should have added a few more. Even if you gave toys, you should have bought a few new toys for your child. There are too many old ones that you can't take."

He Zijin laughed, "I've given it all, and my grandmother said this again." Her family is not a big family, everyone is doing their best, so why compare with other families?

Old Mother He took a sip of tea, and regardless of whether He Zijin understood it or not, he just said, "It's good to wait until your father passes the exam." He said, "I'll start the exam today. I don't know if the question is difficult or whether the article is easy to do?"

Seeing that Old Madam He was unsteady, He sighed: As expected, no matter ancient and modern times, the parents of candidates are the same.

Just as Mrs. He was talking nonsense for many days, news came from the county about the Gui List, and He Gong failed the exam. Mrs. He was a little disappointed, not very disappointed. The scholar had been taking the exam for five or six years, so it was naturally even harder for this juren to take the exam. Mrs. He wanted his son to have a great fortune, but his fortune didn't hit him, and it was nothing. We will try our best to compete for strength in the future, and he also told He Zijin, "Your father is not allowed to talk about the autumn examination when he comes back. Do you know? Don't bother your father."

"I know!" He Zijin responded loudly. She didn't feel any troubles about her father. It would be normal if she didn't get the best. Her father was just average and above level in school.

Mrs. He said, "Go to the kitchen and ask Mrs. Zhou to buy some mutton tomorrow. Your father loves to eat mutton."

He Zijin said, "I want to eat beef."

"Cow? Where can I get a cow? Killing a cow requires jail!" These days, cows are farming livestock, and each cow has been recorded in the government, killing a cow is illegal. Beef is rare on the market, and sometimes beef is sold. It is only when the cow dies in accidents or old age or illness. The government can only sell beef.

He Zijin smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhou told me in the morning that there is beef sold in the market on the east side. The beef fell to death by accident. It was only two-year-old beef, and the meat was delicious." She never ate the meat of a mortal or a mortal beef.

Old Madam He thought about it and was reluctant to let it go. She said with a black face, "Beef is very expensive, you should be content if you have mutton to eat. Before we see famine, people even eat Guanyin soil! OK, eat mutton!" Why is the news of the dead girl so well? In the future, I have to tell Mrs. Zhou that she can't talk to her girl in a mess!

Ignoring He Zijin, Mrs. He used her fingers to calculate the day when her son returned home.

Mrs. He was eagerly waiting for his son to come home, so he could comfort him. Who knew that after four or five days, he had not seen his son's shadow yet. Instead, a scholar named Liu, who went with him came to talk to Mrs. He smiled and said, "Ah, please ask me to bring you a letter, telling you not to worry. He should be slower with his younger brother and sister, probably for one or two days at night."

Mrs. He hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?" My son was either a playful person, or Shen, and he was quite sensible. He knew that there were old mothers and young children at home, so how could he delay outside? Mrs. He was anxious.

Liu Xiucai laughed, "I always let you know, but it's a big happy event. Agong is going to be a father again, and you are going to be a grandmother. Your younger brother and sister are pregnant and dare not walk fast, so Agong and her younger brothers are rushing slowly and ask me to come back and tell you first, because they are afraid that you will be anxious."

Old Mother He immediately became anxious and couldn't stop the smile on her face, "Ami Buddha!" ​​God blessed her wife to be pregnant, and she was about to hold her grandson, and the He family would have a backer! He hurriedly thanked Liu Xiucai, invited Liu Xiucai to have tea, and comforted Liu Xiucai, "You are all young, this time, I won't go next time. Gong'er has been taking the exam for scholars for five or six years. I thought, if you have good articles, you must have luck. If both are complete, you will definitely win." Let Liu Xiucai have a meal.

Liu Xiucai thanked him and politely said the meal, "I just came back, and my mother was thinking about it. I'm afraid you're always anxious, so I'll come to your place first. I have to go back now. When you're idle, I'll pay you my respects."

Old Madam He hurriedly ordered Madam Yu to send Liu Xiucai out, and also gave Liu Xiucai a basket of fragrant pears to take home.

As soon as Liu Xiucai left, Old Madam He smiled and said to He Zijin, "Girl, are you happy if you want to have a little brother?"

He Zijin is very good at pouring cold water on He Lao Niang, "Maybe it's my sister."

"You won't say a few nice words in a damn movie." Old Madam He scolded He Zijin and said to the ground, "Bao" with her hands, her face facing east, and her mouth muttered, "Children's family, children's words are free from scruples, and the Bodhisattva blesses me to get a grandson, and extends the incense of my He family..."

He Zijin:...

Old Madam He chanted at the Bodhisattva for a moment, and immediately made a decision, saying to Madam Yu who had just sent Liu Xiucai back, "Let's go to Furong Temple to burn incense tomorrow, so that the Bodhisattva can bless Zijin and her mother to give Zijin a younger brother." He also sternly told He Zijin, "Don't mention your sister in the future, do you know if you know!"

He Zijin pouted, and Old Madam He said, "You are obedient and buy you good fruits to eat."

He Zijin was about to say that he was always from his younger brother, but he called her mother a lot of pressure. Before she could speak, Mrs. He had already said, "Go and tell Mrs. Zhou to buy some beef to block the greedy girl's mouth."

Such an unexpected joy, He Zijin naturally accepted it all. She flattered Mrs. He, "Grandma is so nice, I'll beat my grandmother's shoulders." He slapped his back attentively. When Mrs. He learned that Shen was pregnant, he didn't care about He Zijin and laughed, "If you have a younger brother in the future, you will be your sister, and you will have to love him."

"Just like my aunt."

Old lady He smiled happily, "Yes, yes." She felt that she had not bought beef for He Zijin in vain. She recalled the interesting stories about her children when she was young, and talked to He Zijin for half a day.

After He Zijin and Mrs. He worshipped the Bodhisattva and waited until the third day, He Gongfang and Shen arrived at home.

He Gong entered the door with Shen's hand. As soon as he entered He's house, the two of them were about to greet him, but He's already said, "No need for these rituals. Gong'er, I won't help your wife sit down, so don't stand. The carriage and horses are tired, so take a break." He also ordered Madam Yu, "Come almond tea to Zijin and her mother." Then he asked about his well-being, which really surprised Shen.

He Zijin laughed secretly, "Grandmother has been talking about my younger brother for several days." Mrs. He had been waiting for her grandson for too long. Shen was finally pregnant, and Mrs. He didn't care about showing off her mother-in-law's pomp.

When Mrs. He heard the three words "little brother", she couldn't help but be happy. She felt that the two pounds of beef was not in vain. She complained to Shen again, "You have always been a careful person, why are you careless this time? You are so far away and asked you to follow the prefecture. Fortunately, my ancestors bless you, otherwise, what if you have a chance, how can you have a good life?"

Once she became pregnant, Shen was also happy and laughed, "I won't hide it from my mother. In the past two years, I almost made a mistake in the misunderstanding several times. This time I didn't like it, but I didn't expect it to be true." My daughter is so old, and Shen is also looking forward to having another child. She took medicine quietly to treat it, and secretly asked the doctor to take her pulse. She made a mistake several times. Fortunately, Shen was so calm. I didn't want to tell Mrs. He about these things before, but now she is pregnant, it's okay to talk about them.

Old lady He smiled, "The feng shui of the prefecture is better. Look, there will be such good news as soon as you go to the prefecture." He asked again, "It's been a few months, is the fetal appearance okay?"

Shen looked at her husband with a smile, and He Gong smiled, "It's almost three months old. The doctor said that the fetus was stable, and as long as you rest more, there would be no big problem." The failure of the autumn examination was long replaced by his wife's joy of pregnancy.

In the past, if Mrs. He saw Mrs. Shen and his son, he would be angry. Now that Mrs. Shen is pregnant, Mrs. He should not think about it and thought that it is better to have a couple of grandchildren to give them a prosperous incense. Thinking of this, Mrs. He was particularly kind and smiled, "That's good. Please ask Dr. Zhang from Ping'antang to come over to take your wife's pulse. I'm at ease. I still have bird's nests here. Gong'er has finished the exam, so you don't have to eat this anymore. You can take it to nourish your body."

Shen quickly said, "The doctor said I am in good health, so my mother can keep it for you. I am not old and not young, so how can I eat such valuables?"

Mrs. He smiled, "If you don't have to think about me, you have to think about my grandson. This is not for you, it is for me to eat."

He Zijin coughed twice and said dissatisfiedly, "My granddaughter is still here!"

Everyone in the room laughed, and Old Madam He smiled, "I have good fruits here. What do you want to eat? Just speak, but you are not allowed to eat bird's nest. Your child's house cannot eat those nourishing things, beware of nosebleeds." He also scared He Zijin a little, "Didn't your grandma tell me that last time you came? Your cousin just ate bird's nest and had nosebleeds for half a night."

He Zijin really thought she was stupid, and he rolled his eyes, "Grandma said that his cousin ate ginseng and stewed chicken soup and ate it with nosebleeds."

Mrs. He raised her face and did not intend to reason with He Zijin anymore, "I'm talking too much, and I'll be disobedient to sew it for you."

He Zijin lay in He's ear and muttered a few words. He slapped her on the butt, "I understand, it's so long-winded."

He Gong laughed, "Mom and Zijin are really in love." How good the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is!

When Mrs. He heard her son's words, she thought to herself: Everything is good for her son, but her eyes are not good.
