Chapter 45 Old lady!
Return home.
My wife, Mrs. Cao Zhang, happened to come back, holding a bamboo basket in her hand, which contained some mending items. She must have ended up visiting a neighbor's house.
Even though the Cao family had only moved in two months ago, with Tang Miao's endorsement and the good life of the Cao family, it was easy for the Cao Zhang family to get along with their neighbors, which was much better than the beginning in the large courtyard.
There are lots of people walking around in the neighborhood.
"Are you hungry?"
Mrs. Cao Zhang smiled at her son and seemed to be in a good mood.
"good."
"Not busy cooking."
"Mom, come in and I'll press your button for you."
Cao Xin rolled his eyes and pulled Cao Zhang into the house.
"Why!"
When Mrs. Cao Zhang heard this, she beamed with joy.
Of course she is happy if her son is filial.
But more importantly, her precious son's massage skills are indeed very good, and the pressure is extremely comfortable. This is not a boast of her mother-in-law, even Tang Miao who opened a martial arts school, Cao Ren, and Cao Xian who practiced martial arts
, and they were all full of praise.
It can be said that with this skill alone, Cao Xin will not have to worry about his livelihood in the future.
"Hey!"
"Can I continue the three-level massage?"
Cao Xinxin smiled.
After half a year, Cao Xin's 'medical skills' have taken a further step. After the 'typhoid fever department' among the thirteen departments was promoted to the third level, the 'massage' department was also promoted to the third level.
"Huangdi Neijing" says: "The meridians are blocked, and the disease is caused by unkindness, and it can be treated with massage."
The so-called "massage" is the ancient name of "massage".
In the early years, the "massage" techniques were limited, with only two types: "pressing" and "massage", so it was called "massage", which could only play a role in health care and eliminating fatigue.
With the development of the times, medical skills have improved.
The techniques of 'massage' have gradually become more diverse. For example, in the book "Yi Zong Jin Jian", touching, connecting, lifting, lifting, pressing, massaging, pushing and holding are listed as the eight methods of traumatology.
By the New Dynasty, there were more than thirty kinds of massage techniques, and they could be used to treat diseases such as low back pain, tenosynovitis, bursitis, colds, constipation, diarrhea, gastroptosis, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, and hemiplegia.
, high blood pressure, asthma, etc.
Three layers of massage.
This is a good doctor.
Cao Xin is already proficient in various massage techniques and can use them flexibly. Although he cannot cure the disease instantly, it can be used over time to maintain health and strengthen the body, which is not a problem.
"My son feels comfortable!"
Mrs. Cao Zhang lay on the bed, her brows stretched.
Her life has not been smooth--
In his early years, his family was poor and he grew up in a rough way.
When she was sixteen or seventeen years old, she married a man from a neighboring village. Her husband's family name was Sun, and Cao Zhang's family name was Sun Zhang. Because she was unable to have children, she was treated harshly by her husband's family at that time.
There are many brothers from the mother's family who are at a disadvantage, and the husband's family has to be more cautious.
This happened for more than ten years.
The mother-in-law is venomous and the husband is cold.
Life is poor and life is depressing.
When I was thirty years old, something happened to my mother's family. During the flood control, the four brothers of my mother's family had to help one by one to save the other, but they were all swept away by the flood.
Since then it has plummeted.
Cao Zhang's life in her husband's family suddenly became difficult——
The mother-in-law often insults her and her husband beats her from time to time.
I can't live a good life.
In anger.
Ms. Cao Zhang ran back to her parents' home, and with the support of her half-old nephews, she made peace with her husband's family.
But it would be unreasonable for a thirty-year-old sister-in-law to stay in her parents' house all the time. Although her sisters-in-law and nephews don't dislike her, Mrs. Cao Zhang herself is a strong person.
It just so happened.
At that time, Cao Kun of Caojia Village had been living alone for two years after his wife died in childbirth. He had five children, four sons and one daughter, and there was no need to continue the family line.
When Cao Zhang heard about it, he took the initiative to ask someone to help him find a matchmaker.
When Cao Kun heard this——
Can’t give birth?
This is great!
If your stepmother cannot give birth to five children in your family, will she still treat her like her own children?
then.
Sun Zhang's family suddenly became Cao Zhang's family.
The couple got together.
Then, within two months, Cao Zhang became pregnant. The next year, Cao Xin was born.
Cao Kun was shocked.
Mrs. Cao Zhang was stupid.
Only then did I realize that it was the Sun family that could not give birth, not the Cao and Zhang family.
Facts prove.
Cao Zhang is not only good at giving birth, but also good at giving birth.
Within a few years, Cao Xin, Cao Wen, Cao Liang, and Cao Shu were born one after another, three sons and one daughter, making the Cao family more prosperous and the Sun family no longer losing face.
Cao Kun is a busy person. Although Cao's family has a large number of people, he can still live a good life.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.
When natural disasters and man-made disasters occur for several years, the Cao family cannot survive, and the family has no choice but to flee.
Three years.
The Cao and Zhang family successively experienced the loss of their hometown, the loss of their son, their daughter, and their husband.
Continuous blows.
When they arrived at Xijing City, Ms. Cao Zhang, who was only thirty-nine years old, looked even younger than her fifty-year-old wife.
There are really too many hard times.
Fortunately, now, all the hardships have come to an end.
"It would be nice if your father was still here."
Mrs. Cao Zhang smiled and couldn't help but think of her late husband.
Only through comparison can there be identification.
Compared with his predecessor, whose surname was Sun, Cao Kun was much better off. The couple were both married for the second time, and although country people were not frivolous, they were still very affectionate and had few quarrels.
Mr. Cao Zhang talks little.
Cao Kun's words are secret.
The two of them complemented each other, and they were living a wonderful life.
pity!
How great would it be if Cao Kun could survive until now and see all the children succeed?
"We are all doing well. Dad will be happy to see us in heaven."
"Don't worry about his old man. He has an old sweetheart down there. If you ask me, it would be better for you to suffer more. You are the only one up there."
Cao Xin was very skillful, and when he saw that my mother was feeling a little depressed, he made some jokes.
But it makes sense.
Cao Kun still has his first wife in front of him, so he will have company when he goes down.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Mrs. Cao Zhang was thinking about it when she was interrupted by Cao Xin. She was angry and laughing, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Don't worry about the following things."
"It's better to worry more about big brother when you have time."
Cao Xin pressed Mrs. Cao Zhang's hand and asked tentatively: "What do you think of Sister Piao Piao?"
"Piao Piao?"
"This child is very good, well-behaved and sensible."
Cao Zhang had a very good impression of Tang Piaopiao.
"What do you think if I ask Sister Piaopiao to be my sister-in-law?"
Cao Xin asked again.
"this--"
When Mrs. Cao Zhang heard this, she immediately stood up and faced Cao Xin, her face shining brightly: "Did you mean it by Piao Piao, or by your Aunt Tang?"
"Forehead--"
Cao Xin was startled, then smiled and said, "That's what I meant."
"..."
Cao Zhang suddenly lost her energy.
"Don't look down on me!"
"Why don't you go talk to Aunt Tang about this some other time, and then ask Sister Piaopiao what she thinks of my brother? These two are boring gourds, and we need to be more considerate. Especially you, I am my stepmother.
If you don’t want people to gossip, you have to be more careful.”
Cao Xincao was heartbroken.
"The more you talk, the more idiotic you become!"
Cao Zhang gave Cao Xin a beating.
immediately.
Immediately afterwards.
She frowned again: "I don't think Piao Piao means that to your brother. And your brother, what does he think?"
Said.
Without waiting for Cao Xin to reply, Cao Zhang said to herself: "Piaopiao is indeed sensible, and your brother is also very good. But just two boring gourds, can they live a good life from now on?"
Both of them are bored. Shouldn't they stop talking in the future?
Speaking of which.
Cao Zhang thought of Cao Kun again.
She and Cao Kun, although Cao Kun talks more and she talks less, they get along just fine.
But Cao Ren and Tang Piaopiao——
"It doesn't match!"
Cao Zhang was moved by Cao Xinyi.
It is true that Cao Ren was born in February, and now that February has passed, he has reached the age of eighteen, and he has indeed reached the age to talk about marriage.
This cannot be delayed.
"OK!"
"Don't worry about this matter! How can a younger brother worry about his elder brother's marriage? If he tells it, he won't be afraid of being laughed at!"
Cao Zhang glared at Cao Xin and took over the matter.
"All right."
Cao Xin follows the good deeds as if they were flowing.
In fact, there was some hesitation.
Last year, because Yu Li, the eldest daughter-in-law of Mrs. Yan's family, wanted to introduce her sister to her eldest brother, Cao Xin mentioned Tang Piaopiao in order to appease his eldest brother.
But after more than a year of contact and observation, it seems that these two people are really not suitable for each other.
Neither of them felt anything.
For someone like Tang Piaopiao, she should actually find a husband with a similar personality to Cao Xian, who can take her around and experience different styles.
Don't look at Tang Piaopiao who is usually virtuous, quiet and doesn't care about eating, drinking or having fun.
She just didn't take the initiative.
But whenever Cao Xian looked for her, she would go with him every time. She couldn't see it on the surface, but in her heart she was probably very happy.
This kind of personality is commonly known as "mensao".
Brother, I'm afraid I can't grasp it.
"That's it!"
"The eldest brother has his own blessings. As the younger brother, I'd better not get too involved."
Cao Xin shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Chapter completed!
