Blessings of Time Traveling

Qi Mingcheng had originally planned to go on a long trip with Zhao Chengyi, otherwise at this point in time, he would have gone on a long-distance business trip.Now that he wants to engage in military supplies, he needs to be accompanied by Zhao Chengyi even more if he wants to go to the northwest to do research.In order to wait for Zhao Chengyi, Qi Mingcheng will usher in this winter on the way back.

For a person who is very afraid of the cold, this sacrifice is quite big.

Considering that he was going to travel far away the day after tomorrow, Qi Mingcheng went to the house of his elder brother-in-law Wu Shun the next day.When Wu Shun and Qi Mingcheng cooperated tacitly when running the business last time, Qi Mingcheng planned to call Wu Shun to go together this time.But Wu Shun seemed a little hesitant.Qi Mingcheng didn't want to force him too much.

Therefore, Qi Mingcheng went to Wu Shun's place mainly to say goodbye.

Shanglai Village and Xiahe Village were not far away, seeing that Qi Mingcheng was going to Xiahe Village, Zhao Chengyi insisted on going with him.Qi Mingcheng thought it wouldn't matter if he brought Zhao Chengyi along, anyway, the Zhao family and the Wu family were considered relatives, and walking around would not make people feel rude, so he took Zhao Chengyi with him.

"Yuzhu'er is not as clingy as you." Qi Mingcheng joked.

Zhao Chengyi said very honestly: "I also have questions to ask your eldest brother-in-law. He is good at hunting, and I will learn from him."

The two walked to Wu Shun's house talking and laughing, but as soon as they reached the gate of the yard and looked inside through the fence, Qi Mingcheng felt that the atmosphere in Wu Shun's house was not right.After he took a closer look, Wu Shun was squatting at the door of the house without saying a word, while Mrs. Qi seemed to be crying in the room.

This is a quarrel?

Zhao Chengyi and Qi Mingcheng looked at each other.

Zhao Chengyi quickly lowered his voice and said, "I won't go in for now, so as not to embarrass them. That's your sister, you go and have a look first."

Qi Mingcheng nodded, quickly opened the courtyard door and walked in.Wu Shun heard the movement, looked up at Qi Mingcheng, and didn't even have the energy to say hello.His eyes were red and bloodshot, and he didn't know if it was from anger or tiredness.In short, he looked very tired.

Qi Mingcheng has always had a good impression of Wu Shun, knowing that he is a man who loves his wife, but now Mrs. Qi is crying in the room!

"You, you... Forget it, what happened to my sister?" Qi Mingcheng asked.

Wu Shun stood up, his legs were probably numb from squatting for a long time, and he even swayed a bit.Wu Shun didn't bring Qi Mingcheng into the house to entertain him, but directly held Qi Mingcheng's hand, and said, "You came at the right time, so hurry up and persuade your sister. She even secretly drank talisman ash and incense ash without telling me."

In this era where there is a strong atmosphere of praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, many people believe that incense ash and talisman ash can cure diseases.In the village, if someone's child is sick for a long time, they need to ask a witch or other people with magical powers to drive out the ghost.In short, in this era, many people compete with doctors for food.Wu Shun was skeptical about these ghosts and gods at first, but when he followed Qi Mingcheng to run a business last year, he saw with his own eyes a person who was cured by a sorceress and died.Since then, although he still has a little reverence for ghosts and gods, he keeps a respectful distance from incense ash to cure diseases.

As a result, when Wu Shun came home from outside today, he saw Mrs. Qi boiling the talisman paper and soaking it in water to drink. He was so shocked!

Wu Shun told Mrs. Qi not to do these things in the future, but it turned out that a person as compliant as Mrs. Qi was very persistent in this matter.No matter what Wu Shun said, Mrs. Qi just wouldn't listen.When it came to the end, Wu Shun was also anxious, and the two quarreled like this.

Without Wu Shun's elaboration, Qi Mingcheng understood.The incense ashes and talisman ashes Mrs. Qi made are probably for the sake of seeking a child, right?

Qi Mingcheng patted Wu Shun's shoulder twice, and said in a low voice: "I'll go and have a good talk with my eldest sister. However, I need to ask you what you mean first. If my sister can't have children in this lifetime, are you really Do you not dislike her? Will you not blame her for such things in the future? "

Wu Shun sighed: "I won't hide it from you. Son, I definitely want it. If I say I don't want it, I'm lying to you. But, I can't watch your sister ruin her body like this? If so, I'd rather not have kids. And, I've been thinking about it these days, you see, my dad didn't have kids, he had to pick me up, and when I got here, I didn't have kids either. Did we hunt too much There are so many dead snakes, deer, rabbits, chickens, etc., that they will not let go of their grievances, so we have no children?"

Wu Shun has already found the reason in himself.He gave Qi Mingcheng an apologetic look: "If this is the case, your sister is still delayed by me. She doesn't despise me, so how can I despise her? And I said it two years ago. At worst, I will go pick up a child and come back later. keep."

"Okay, I understand what you mean, I'll go and have a good talk with my sister." Qi Mingcheng raised his feet and walked into the room.

Mrs. Qi sat by the bed and cried.There was a bowl on the ground, and the ashes of something burnt scattered all over the ground.

Qi Mingcheng carefully walked around those things and walked to the bedside.To be honest, Qi Mingcheng didn't know why the eldest sister was never pregnant.When the eldest sister came to Zhao's house to help make tofu, he kept giving her spiritual water.Later, when Wu Shun went to the business with Qi Mingcheng, Wu Shun also kept drinking spiritual water.It is said that the bodies of the couple have been taken care of very well.How come there are no children?Could it be that fate hasn't arrived yet?

Mrs. Qi knew that it was Qi Mingcheng who had come, so she wiped away her tears indiscriminately, forced a pale smile, and said, "Let brother see the joke."

Qi Mingcheng shook his head and said, "Eldest sister, is it because brother-in-law keeps throwing faces at you, annoyed that you can't have children?"

Mrs. Qi quickly shook her head, cried and said: "No, no... It's none of his business, he, he has done a good job, I'm sorry for him. You say, I am a woman, but I can't have children. What's the point of me being alive? He doesn't blame me, it's me who blames myself!"

"Sister!" Qi Mingcheng raised his voice, "You are a person, you are not a tool for giving birth to children. Ask your brother-in-law, who mended his clothes, who helped him clean up the house, and who prepared for him. Daily food? Just like that, you still feel useless?"

"What woman doesn't do these things? They do, and they can have children."

"Then you and your brother-in-law are together just to have a child? Without a child, the relationship and emotion between you can be denied?" Qi Mingcheng felt that Mrs. Qi was really dazed, "If, The reason why you can't have children is not with you, but with your brother-in-law. Will you leave him because of this? You won't! To you, your brother-in-law is more important than your child. To your brother-in-law, you are more important than your child!"

Mrs. Qi shook her head desperately: "But... But, I just want to give him a child!"

"Sister, what do you think is the most important thing in a person's life?" Qi Mingcheng said word by word, "Like our mother, she gave birth to six children in one go, but in the end she didn't enjoy any blessings, and couldn't even protect her own children." Stay, go early. Do you think she is so interesting?"

Mrs. Qi was stunned.

"What is the main reason why you want a child? First, to raise a child to guard against old age. Is it because you hope to have something to rely on when you are young? Then, as long as you save a lot of money when you are young, you will still have support when you are old. Second, it is for death. Later, someone worshiped. To be honest, I think that the kinship is not maintained by a surname, but by emotion. Yuzhuer's surname is Zhao, not Qi, nor Wu, but if we treat her well, etc. We are all dying of old age, can she set up a memorial tablet for us and burn some paper money? Third, you and your brother-in-law have a good relationship, and you really want to have a child for him. So, have you asked your brother-in-law what he means? You and the child , who is more important? Don't put the cart before the horse." Qi Mingcheng said again.

Qi Mingcheng said these words to persuade the eldest sister.In fact, he thinks it is better to let nature take its course whether to have children or not.

Those who have a child can naturally enjoy the joy brought by the child, which can indeed make life more complete, and the child is the future, the hope, the inheritance of a family, a love, and a responsibility.But if there is really no such fate between husband and wife, then you can't force it.

Qi Mingcheng thought for a while, and then said: "Sister, these incense ashes and talisman ashes are really inedible, and you can't eat messy folk remedies either. Don't eat up your good body. What I mean is, you'd better eat it with your brother-in-law. Two people go to the city to see a good doctor with a good reputation, remember to let the brother-in-law also see. Sometimes, a couple has no children all year round, the reason may not necessarily come from the woman, it is more likely to be the man's problem."

……

After persuading for a while, Qi Mingcheng felt that he had finished everything, so he walked out of the room and pushed Wu Shun in, saying, "As a younger brother, my words are definitely not as effective as your husband. In short, between you husband and wife If you have any questions, please discuss with yourself.”

When Qi Mingcheng entered the house to persuade Mrs. Qi, Zhao Chengyi also entered the courtyard to chat with Wu Shun.

Zhao Chengyi said: "I just told your brother-in-law that in the Northwest, widows who remarry with their children are especially sought-after. Although they are children of other people's families, they have been raised well. Isn't it the same as their own? There are also such men Those who form a bond with each other will definitely not have a biological child in this life."

"You think very openly too." Qi Mingcheng said.

Zhao Chengyi was a little complacent, looked around, then whispered into Qi Mingcheng's ear, and said, "If I were Wu Shun, no matter who had physical problems, I would buy a doctor first and tell him to just explain the reasons why he couldn't have children." Put it all on me, so that my wife won't blame herself. Besides, my mother and my family members must still love my wife very much, and they will never show embarrassment to her just because she doesn't have children. "

"What face can the old lady put on? She is open-minded. Even if you marry a man, she has no objection." Qi Mingcheng said.

"In short, that's what it means!" Zhao Chengyi also felt that his mother would not treat his daughter-in-law badly.

"Looking at the appearance of my eldest sister and my brother-in-law, we have to get something to eat ourselves. Are you hungry? Let's go and have a look in the kitchen." Now Mrs. Qi has not persuaded them back, and Qi Mingcheng has not said goodbye to them, Naturally, I can't just walk away, I guess I have to wait.

Qi Mingcheng has a good relationship with Wu Shun, and he will not make the owner angry if he comes in and out of his kitchen at will.

"I can only make some simple things... My eldest sister probably won't be able to eat anything, so I'll cook some porridge for her." Qi Mingcheng said.

Zhao Chengyi followed into the kitchen.He is very good at finding food now, and after a few glances, he has a good idea of ​​the ingredients placed everywhere.Zhao Chengyi rolled up his sleeves and said, "Brother will show you his skills today. You just need to take care of the stove, and I'll prepare some dishes for you."

You can go down to the kitchen, go up to the hall, what a good man!Qi Mingcheng gave Zhao Chengyi a thumbs up.

Wu Shun worked so hard to make his daughter-in-law laugh. Although Mrs. Qi still felt uncomfortable, she didn't try her best anymore.Wu Shun thought that there were still two guests who were not entertained, so he ran out quickly, smelling the aroma and touching the kitchen.He saw Zhao Chengyi hooking Qi Mingcheng's neck.

"Tsk, let you light a fire, and you can still get ashes on your face." Zhao Chengyi said with a look of disgust.

"Where? Did I wipe it clean like this?" Qi Mingcheng scratched his face twice.

"Don't move, let me wipe it for you." Zhao Chengyi took his sleeve and gently rubbed Qi Mingcheng's face twice.

Wu Shun immediately turned around and went back to his room.The two of them didn't know what they were doing, so he should take his wife to hide for a while.
