This year's winter, the weather was extremely cold, with several days of rain and snow, it was freezing cold, and even the huge Taihu Lake was covered with a thick layer of ice.
The aunt has basically recovered and moved into the "rescue bureau". Hui Ying, Ying's cousin, happened to come over and asked her to help find someone to work as a servant. Liu Yong saw that it was suitable and arranged her in the "rescue bureau" to be responsible for the aunt.
Food and daily life, the best of both worlds.
Liu Yong has just returned from the "Rescue Bureau".
Song Hongying saw Liu Yong's face turned red from the cold, and said with concern: It's such a cold day, I think you're freezing, hurry up, drink some hot water to warm yourself up.
Liu Yong took the tea cup with a smile, drank it in one gulp, said thank you, and went to the inner room.
Since Song Hongying came to the Liu family, because she is not only beautiful and smart, but also serious and careful in her work. Especially in the past month or so, she has been dedicated to serving Yu Hui during her confinement period. She wants Yu Hui to eat food that should not be too salty or too bland;
It can't be too hot or too cold. Yuhui is one month old, and she wants Yuhui to get up and move around properly, which is good for the body's recovery. It seems like she knows everything.
Because Liu Yongniang insisted on hiring a wet nurse, she asked the wet nurse to feed Xiao Dongmei every hour. She also asked the wet nurse to let Xiao Dongmei sleep in the cradle alone, and to turn her over frequently, sometimes sleeping on her right side, sometimes sleeping on her left side. She also asked the wet nurse to let Xiao Dongmei sleep alone in the cradle.
She said that this way the child's face would be standard. Some children have flat heads because they sleep. It is almost as if they are her own children.
She kept Yu Hui's room in order, and she also cleaned Liu Yong's room.
The Liu family did not treat her as a servant. Liu Yong and Yu Hui treated her like sisters, so she affectionately called Yu Hui sister and Liu Yong brother Yong.
Yu Hui gave birth to a daughter, and there was a knot in Liu Yong's heart. The Liu family is so rich now, what if they don't have to continue the family line? Rich families often have three wives and four concubines. If Liu Yong marries again, Song Hongying is indeed the best.
Therefore, Song Hongying is usually called Aying.
One night, Yu Hui and Song Hongying were leaning on the bed respectively and chatting.
Yu Hui said: Hong Yingmei, you are only one year younger than me. I am already a mother, so you should also have an in-law.
Song Hongying said: I am getting married, who will accompany you?
Yu Hui smiled and said: Then you can't stay with me forever.
Song Hongying said with a smile: It's destiny, we are willing. Then he said: Sister, it is not difficult for a woman to get married, but it is difficult to marry a good man. Who is as lucky as you? Brother Yong is not only handsome, but also a good person.
, know how to love women.
A proud smile appeared on Yu Hui's face.
…
When Liu Yong returned to the room, he was surprised to find that the bedding had been replaced by Song Hongying's and his belongings were missing.
Liu Yong came to his wife Yuhui's room again and asked: What's going on?
When Yu Hui saw Liu Yong coming in, he smiled and said: Then go and ask her.
Liu Yong asked again, was she unhappy in any way?
Yu Hui said: That's not the case. Then he smiled and said: In the morning, I saw her packing things, and she moved your things over again. I asked her why? She said, you have recovered, and I can't "
You're occupying the latrine and don't poop." After saying that, Yu Hui felt a burning sensation on her face.
Liu Yong said: This girl is real.
Liu Yong followed Yu Hui to the nursery.
She took Xiao Dongmei from wet nurse Yu Hui and said with a smile: Come on, baby, smile at daddy.
Liu Yong teased his daughter's little mouth with his hands. Xiao Dongmei giggled.
Liu Yong smiled and said: Baby is so good. Then he gave her a "tsk" on the cheek.
Liu Yong turned around and said to Yu Hui: Old father, your asthma has flared up again in the past few days.
Yu Hui said: It's too cold, so tell him to wear more clothes. Then go and get busy.
Liu Yong entered his parents' room and saw his mother giving medicine to his father.
Liu Yong walked to his father's bed and asked with concern: Are you feeling better these days?
Liu Huanzhang said: It is an old problem that occurs every year during this season. It will not get better until spring begins.
Liu Yong said: I heard that drinking bamboo flowers or loquat leaves mixed with rock sugar to make a soup is more effective in treating asthma.
Liu Yongniang said: Where can I find bamboo flowers in this cold weather? Now he drinks loquat leaves and rock sugar to make soup.
Liu Huanzhang said: It’s an old problem and there’s no way around it.
Liu Yongniang pulled Liu Yong and motioned for him to sit down on the edge of the bed.
Liu Yong's mother said: Ah Yong, mother is too talkative. Yu Hui is already one month old and she is not breastfeeding. I told A Ying this morning that you guys should change your place of living. Mother is just waiting to have her grandson.
Liu Yong suddenly realized that it was all arranged by his mother, and then said: Aren't all grandchildren the same? Besides, I can no longer bear the pain Ah Hui felt when she gave birth to Xiao Dongmei.
Liu Yongniang said: How can this happen? This is how a woman should be. Wasn't it different when I gave birth to you? Oh, if it really doesn't work, let me marry another woman. A Ying is a pretty good girl, she knows everything.
Liu Huanzhang said: I think you have nothing to do and worry all day long.
Liu Yongniang continued: I am worrying so blindly. Am I not worrying about the succession of the Liu family?
Liu Yong said firmly: No matter whether Ah Hui can give birth to a son or not, I will not marry again.
…
The partitions of traditional old houses are made of a layer of pine boards, which tend to crack over time. Therefore, the sound insulation effect is relatively poor.
Including before and after childbirth, Yu Hui has not lived with her husband Liu Yong for several months.
At night, Yu Hui turned her head and rested her head on Liu Yong's arm, and said to Liu Yong: Hey, let me tell you, do you like Dongmei?
Liu Yong said: How can I not like what fell from my body? Especially when you suffered so much, I can't bear it. I want her to respect you when she grows up.
Yu Hui said: That is what a woman must go through. It will be fine if you get through this difficulty. However, it seems that your mother only wants grandchildren.
Liu Yong said: The grandchildren are not the same, they are all the blood of the Liu family. As long as they are healthy and know how to behave when they grow up, it will be fine.
Yu Hui added: If I can't give birth to a son, I won't be able to live the rest of my life.
Liu Yong said: How can there be such a reason?
Yu Hui added: According to your mother's wishes, she wants you to marry another woman, so that everything will be foolproof. Well, if this is really the case, in my opinion, Hong Yingmei is indeed good. Not only is she prettier than me, but she is also smart and capable.
Who knows what is being said inside the wall, but someone outside the wall is listening.
The conversation between Liu Yong and Yu Hui was clearly heard by Song Hongying who was lying on the bed next door. Especially when Yu Hui said just now, hey, if this is really the case, in my opinion, Hong Yingmei is indeed good. Not only is she prettier than me, but also
Smart and capable. Song Hongying's heart beat loudly when he said that.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Liu Yong say: Even you are talking nonsense. Sister Hong Ying is good, but she is our sister. We must not treat her badly. I, Liu Yong, will only marry you, Ah Hui, to one woman in my life.
Hearing this, Song Hongying felt sad and happy at the same time, and burst into tears.
Not long after, the sound of the bed creaking came from the next room. Soon, the sounds of 'um um' came into her ears. Song Hongying felt her heart fluttering when she heard it. She felt that this was the beauty of having fun with Brother Yong. This chapter has been completed!
