little son-in-law

The sixth day of August is the fifth birthday of Jingzhi and Xingzhi. Mo Nanjin often thinks that time flies, and the witness is particularly obvious in the child. It seems that the child who was hugged in the swaddling baby yesterday can run, jump and Acting like a baby.

Although my father told me when I was young that the characteristic of the Yueyi clan is that both men and women can conceive their own offspring, and men of the Yueyi clan can also marry as wives, which is permitted by the laws of Daning, but he did not let go. In his heart, he is the eldest son of Prince Rong's mansion who has power over Ning Ningguo. He has always been the only one who chooses who to marry, and there is absolutely no reason for him to marry.He has the Nine Moon Fire Lotus on his body, no one in the world would know that he is a member of the Yueyi Clan, except his father and mother.It is his biological person, even though he knows that his child is a Moon Survivor, but he doesn't know where his child is.

The characteristic of the Yueyi tribe is that both men and women have a lotus imprint on their bodies, which is innate. If they are women, they will be silver lotus, and if they are men, they will be fire lotus.The lotus has nine petals, and the lotus imprints from one petal to nine petals are called January lotus to September lotus respectively. The imprint of the first to third month lotus appears between the forehead and the eyebrow, the April lotus is usually on the chest, and the May lotus is on the waist. At the same time, the June lotus is on the inner thigh, the July lotus is on the sole of the foot, the August and September lotus are not visible, and the world is also commonly called the hidden lotus.It is wrong to say that it does not appear at all. August and September lotus will appear within one year after birth, and disappear after the first year of life.If a man with August and September lotuses has never conceived any offspring, few people will know that they are members of the Yueyi clan.It is generally believed that the more lotus petals, the better the aptitude. Mo Nanjin has no way to verify this statement, but generally except for one to three lotus petals that are easier to identify on the forehead, the rest of the lotus petals are printed on the body. , but you can't just take off other people's clothes to verify, but it's hard for the world to tell.But the Yueyi people have their unique method, that is, the high-level Yuelian can recognize the low-level Yuelian at a glance. This is probably one of the reasons why it is generally believed that the more lotus petals, the better the aptitude. The number of moon lotus decreases with the increase of the number of petals. Rare things are more expensive. This may be another reason. The fire lotus in the nine moon lotus can recognize the silver lotus. Whether they can recognize each other is a matter of personal qualifications, and there is no specific statement so far.Although it is said that both men and women of the Yueyi tribe can conceive offspring, it is more difficult for the fire lotus hands in the next May to conceive offspring.As for the Yinlian woman, there is not much difference.

After knowing this, Mo Nanjin never worried that anyone would know that he was a member of the Yueyi tribe. It wasn't that he had any discrimination or other ideas. He never thought of having sex under a man and having children, but he found it difficult to accept this ability.It is estimated that few normal men can be full of joy when they are told that they can have children.

For this reason, when he learned that he was pregnant, his first reaction was not to accept it, rather than expecting the surprise of a small life.Coupled with the severe physical loss at that time, the twins, Jing Zhi and Xing Zhi were only a little over four catties when they were born, their skin was red and wrinkled, their bodies were thin and small, and they didn't even have the strength to breastfeed. In his arms, crying and moaning, like two sickly kittens, Mo Nanjin really realized the responsibility of being a parent at that time, he is the reliance and wholehearted reliance of these two children in the world Well, since he brought these two little guys into this world, he has the responsibility to love them and raise them up.

Fortunately, these years, although the family's life is not rich, the children will be raised fairly well. Now the two children have grown up a bit, and they are fat and cute. They don't look sick and weak when they were born.

In this day and age, children are not happy to celebrate their birthdays. It is said that their birthdays will be shortened. Mo Nanjin didn't want to make a big fuss, but just wanted to call the two little guys' nanny's family and let everyone get together to eat. Rice will do.

Yuyang cut a new set of fine cotton clothes for the two children in advance, a small almond-white double-breasted begonia buttoned jacket, small lake-blue trousers, and specially tied two rose-red hairbands for the occasion. He laughed and said that he didn't know, only that the two little fairy boys in front of the Bodhisattva in the temple ran out.

"Daddy, can I pick this bean?" In summer, the vegetables in the field grow very well. Cucumbers, beans, gourds, and bitter gourds have all been set up with wood, and now they are densely packed. Few, long beans, cucumbers with flowers on top, tomatoes and peppers are bright red, winter melons and pumpkins are not small.The whole vegetable garden is full of vitality.

"This one is still a little tender, pick the lighter one next to it."

Today I brought two little guys to the vegetable field to pick more vegetables. There are quite a few people who come to eat today, and at least seven or eight people will come to the nanny's side.

"Daddy, pick the biggest gourd!" The small gourds hanging on the roof, dotted among the layers of green leaves, are round and round, really delicate and lovely.

"That one is a bit old, we can keep it for water scoops in the future, and the gourds should be picked smaller for cooking."

"Master, how is your picking going? I've already broken some celery. I dug up a few lettuces, and picked some leeks and coriander. As for onions, those from the small vegetable garden at home should be enough." After a summer of exposure, Xiao Mo's small face was obviously darkened a lot, and when he opened his mouth, only his teeth were white and snowy, but he looked quite strong.Xiao Mo has also grown up, and Mo Nanjin suddenly feels proud of his own son who has just grown up.Seeing the sweat on his temples, Mo Nanjin was about to hand him the handkerchief in his sleeve, when he saw a paw that was still covered in mud coming up, his face was instantly blurred, Mo Nanjin's forehead was throbbing, and he took it back Preface.There were indeed quite a lot of vegetables in the big basket that Xiao Mo was carrying.

"Uncle Xiao Mo, you can see that I have a lot in me."

"The young master is really capable." Mo Jingzhi's small basket contained emerald green cucumbers and fiery red peppers, and Xingzhi also picked a lot of beans.

Mo Nanjin picked tomatoes, gourds, bitter gourds, and carried winter melons and pumpkins. Ming Ting also went to buy meat, and now he went to the pond to bring back some lotus root and a few fish. These vegetables were eaten together with a few people. Should be enough.

"Grandma Xia, Mama Wang." When they got home, they saw two people already looking around at the intersection.

"Jingzhi, Xingzhi, let Grandma Xia take a look, oh, daughter-in-law, look, I haven't seen you in two years, and you've grown up so much." Grandma Xia is almost sixty this year, and her early life was difficult. But her hair was almost white, but she was in good spirits and had a ruddy complexion.The complexion is also much better than two years ago.

"Mom, I hope you're happy." Next to her was the nanny of the two children, the daughter-in-law of Grandma Xia.He was in his early thirties, with gentle eyes, a clean blue cloth dress, and a jade hairpin in his hair. The whole person was very clean.

"Aunt Xia, sister-in-law, why don't you just rest in the house and meet us on the road?"

"Brother Jin is still polite to us. I have always regarded these two children as my own grandchildren. I haven't seen these two children in the past two years. It's strange." Mo Nanjin thinks of the rumors in the town these days and doesn't think it's too strange.Grandma Xia, how should I put it, she is not a bad person, maybe it was too hard to raise the child by herself in the early years, which made her a bit of a follower, a bit of a greedy petty gain, but overall she is a straightforward and neat person.

"Msanggong is back, Aunt Xia's family is here, Aunt Xia and sister-in-law went to meet you at the intersection, have you seen anyone?" Yu Yang came out of the main room with a smile, and took the food from Mo Nanjin's hand.From an angle that no one else saw, he looked at Mo Nanjin's pretty face with a smile, and his face immediately sank, and he gave a wink to signal the room.

"The two little ones are in the back. The few of us took the first step while carrying the dishes." Mo Nanjin's lips curved slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes. It is estimated that the people in the main room have completely pissed off Yuyang It's rare to see Yuyang wanting to kill someone so anxiously with a pale face.It was that Ms. Guo Yuyang who was cold-faced on the spot last time.

"Master, look at this rural place, there is no place that suits your heart, there is nothing to eat, nothing to drink, no one to sing, today is even better, and I have to come to this troublesome place A four or five-year-old child's birthday is here. What are these things?" Before anyone saw it, a thin and soft voice had already floated out from the main room.

"Little ancestor, please speak softly, this is someone's house." It sounded like a middle-aged man, presumably he was the head of the Xia family, but it didn't sound like the rumors said.

"What are you afraid of? In such a small rural place, there are still people who have to be messed with. Look at your cowardly look."

"Qianhong, what are you talking about here?"

Grandma Xia came in from outside the door just as she heard her daughter-in-law's words. Seeing that the Mo family was still standing outside the main room, she blushed and pushed the half-hidden door open a few steps forward.

"Mother, what are you~" Looking from Mo Nanjin's direction, I saw a big man standing up from a chair, wearing a robe with brown and gold patterns, and there was still an embarrassment of being discovered in a hurry.

"What am I, this little whore you brought in has lost all my old face."

"Mother, you always say who is the little whore. The little whore you are talking about is the mother of your precious grandson." Before she got up, she couldn't see her whole body. Two butterflies were embroidered on the corner of her orange clothes, and a pair of red The embroidered shoes were swinging in the air.

"Sister Yuyang, look at so many dishes today, I'll go and wash them in the back with you." Mrs. Wang looked indifferent as if she hadn't seen this farce, but smiled at Yuyang with a bit of spirit.

Yuyang didn't seem to bother to go in and take care of it. Looking at the situation inside, Mo Nanjin reckoned that Grandma Xia would not suffer, so she let them go, and planned to go to the backyard to wash the children. Now they all left cleanly. , The vague scolding came from inside the door intermittently.

Mingyue was in the kitchen with a few girls laughing and playing in the backyard, and the washed melons, fruits and grapes were already arranged on the table under the tree.

When several people saw Jing Zhi and Xing Zhi coming in, they crowded together lively.

The Xia family used to be from Nanshan Town, but the current head of the family is named Xia Du, the only son of Grandma Xia, who ran around in an escort agency outside, and after marrying the Wang family, they gave birth to four girls in succession. Even if Grandma Xia was satisfied with her daughter-in-law at first, she still has complaints now. When Mo Nanjin came here five years ago, the fourth girl in the Xia family was not yet full moon, but Xia Du is said to have a relationship outside, not often go home.At that time, Ye Qing's family helped to find the nanny. She said that although this woman had a hard life, she was a clean person. Mo Nanjin seemed to be good, so she stayed. Grandma Xia often came with her at that time, and she still talked about it every day. In order to enjoy the joy of the Mo family, he hugged a big fat boy for himself. The grandson born to the Wang family has not been seen, but there are outside ones. It is said that Xia Du met a woman from a brothel while walking the darts. Grandma Xia didn't agree to marrying her, but she couldn't hold Xia Du out of the family for a few years. After a few years, she came back with a grandson. Grandma Xia didn't want to recognize her daughter-in-law, but the grandson was reluctant, and finally had to compromise. It has evolved into what it is today. I heard that this summer is a tough temper, but today it seems that it is better to meet each other than to be famous.It is estimated that the Wang family will inevitably suffer grievances at home. In the past two summers, they bought a house in Zhaoyang County, and the whole family moved there. to them.Mrs. Wang still remembered that the two children's birthdays also asked about it, so she invited them over along the way. After all, the two children had been fed her milk for more than half a year, so Xia Du and his second wife would not agree. Please come.

On the side of the well, Yuyang and Mrs. Wang chatted about the woman's private affairs while fetching water and washing vegetables, and there was a scent of sesame seeds from the kitchen.

"Oh, my black sesame paste." Yuyang suddenly remembered that there was still firewood in the pot, cooking the black sesame paste, and he thought about throwing the woman out of the house, forgetting about it.

"Everyone, come and taste my handicraft." Yuyang took out a food box from the kitchen, and put a small porcelain basin in it, and the rich aroma wafted in the yard.Mingyue placed a stack of bowls and spoons on the bluestone table in the yard.

"Today Jingzhi and Xingzhi are the little birthday stars. I want to serve a bowl for the little birthday stars first. This bowl is for Jingzhi, and this bowl is for Xingzhi. Be careful not to burn it." Yuyang blew on each bowl and then Passing it to them, the clear face is full of love. I have to say that Yuyang has really played the role of a good mother these years. She takes care of the children's basic necessities of life, and takes care of everything.Sometimes I also think that it may be a good choice to go on together like this.

"If it's not sweet enough, there's still sugar here, Yun Zhi, be careful to spill it on your clothes." Suddenly, she didn't know what to think, her brows and eyes were bent twice strangely, and her hands quickly wiped the apron twice.

"Mingyue, take the leftovers from the kitchen to the main room and give the second lady a good...taste." I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel like I'm gnashing my teeth.

Mingyue was obviously stunned at first, and looked at her young lady with a bit of confusion, with a hint of questioning in her eyes, Yuyang patted the dust that didn't exist on her clothes, Mingyue's eyebrows stretched, "Yes, miss. Let's go." As expected of being a master and servant for many years, one look and one movement can understand the meaning of the other party.Although Mo Nanjin didn't understand what the two of them were going to do, he knew that Yuyang was definitely not someone who repays evil with kindness.

Sure enough, not long after, Mingyue came back with a "flustered face", "Miss, I was very careless... that black sesame paste... spilled on the second lady's clothes."

"Why are you so careless, Mingyue, you can't do a little thing well. Didn't you... burn the second lady?" Yuyang still seemed so anxious.

"Miss Mo's family, this has nothing to do with Mingyue, it's all about Qianhong losing her temper. I have already asked my son to accompany her back." Grandma Xia also chased from the front, and she was a little embarrassed to see Yuyang disturbed.It is estimated that the carelessness just now made Grandma Xia understand a lot of things.

Originally, I just wanted everyone to have a peaceful meal today, but I didn't expect to make such a messy scene. Before they came, the second lady said something very outrageous. You must know that Yuyang is not so A calculating person.No matter what, it's good for Yuyang to be happy, and to send away those who should go, Yuyang's obvious mood is flying, and the smile in his eyes is almost overflowing, he is no longer as dignified as usual, but he looks like a girl after a successful prank The proud and charming.

"Father, mother, what delicious food are you doing?" Jing Zhi's small head poked in from under the small kitchen window, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, and the rose red hairband fluttered in the wind with his small head.

"I'll make something delicious for you guys, good boy, first take your younger siblings to accompany Grandma Xia and Mother Wang outside, and don't come in and take a peek." Instructing them, Yuyang didn't stop beating the eggs.

"Sanggong, how do you make this birthday cake?" She used to only know that she must eat red eggs and longevity noodles on her birthday, but she didn't even know what this birthday cake was.

"You'll know later." Mo Nanjin smiled mysteriously.

Speaking of the cake idea, Mo Nanjin felt that this year was a whim, after all, there is no cream or anything here.For this cake, he also specially polished a mold, which is round, the height of a palm, and a hollow cylinder protrudes from the middle, mixes the egg liquid, flour and sugar, puts it into the mold and steams it in a pan.

Unseal the fruit jars that had been sealed a while ago. Inside are Mo Nanjin's homemade canned fruits, including apples, strawberries, pears, and peaches. Take them out and place them in shallow rattan trays to drain for later use.

Mingting quickly chopped up the necessary meat, Mingyue and Yuyang stayed to help, today they made dried beans, scrambled eggs with tomato, steamed pork, braised tofu, stewed eggplant with fish flavor, wax gourd cup, braised lion head, Cold bitter gourd, celery stir-fried meat, lettuce mixed with fungus, lotus leaf roast chicken, garlic cucumber, vinegar fish, leek scrambled eggs, vinegar lotus root slices, small gourd scrambled eggs, loofah three delicacies soup, of course, did not forget two small ones My favorite sweet and sour pork ribs are home-cooked.

Changshou noodles were learned here after Mo Nanjin. Probably only when he became a parent would he want to learn how to make longevity noodles. When he first started making them, they would always break when he couldn’t make them long. I have been tinkering for a long time, not to mention two bowls, but fortunately, I am very proficient now. The soup base made of pork bones, chicken, shiitake mushrooms, and scallions, skim off impurities, clear and clean, and take two long noodles out of the pot. A small porcelain bowl.

The steamed cake is in the shape of a ring with a deep groove in the middle. Fill the hollow with drained fruit, and a simple and delicious fruit cake will be fine.

There were many children on the table today, and the atmosphere was very lively. Several children were particularly interested in the fruit cake. Each of them ate a piece with their own small plates and ate it with gusto.Before leaving, Mrs. Wang gave the two children two nice Langhao pens and a few boxes of snacks brought by the county.

In the afternoon, Mo Nanjin and Yuyang made a special trip to the big banyan tree at the entrance of the town to put a safety talisman on the child.The old banyan tree was covered with peace talismans tied with red ribbons. People in the town would come here to hang up peace talismans on their birthdays to pray for peace and prosperity.

"Daddy, sister Xiaohe, they said that the baby came out of mother's womb, right?" Xiaohe is the eldest daughter of the Wang family, and they often came to play at Mo's house before their family moved out.

"Yes." Mo Nanjin took their little feet out of the basin to wipe them clean, and hugged them to the bed.

"Did we come out of Daddy's belly?" Mo Nanjin was secretly startled when he heard this, did anyone say anything to them?

"Why does Jing Zhi ask that?"

"Because Elder Sister Xiaohe looks like Mother Wang, she came out of her mother's womb. We look like Daddy, so we came out of Daddy's womb."

"Nonsense. Alright. Come and cover yourself with a blanket and go to sleep." He still couldn't tell his child that it came out of his stomach, and admit this fact in front of the child, at least he couldn't do it yet.

"Daddy, the fruit cake is delicious today."

"If you like it, next year Daddy will make it for you to eat. Go to sleep." Mo Nanjin turned sideways and gently patted the two children to lull them to sleep.

In the dead of night, with a few wisps of dim moonlight pouring in through the window, Mo Nanjin felt vaguely rejoicing: fortunately, Nangong Jingshen had already left.Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to explain the child's birthday.After all, at that time...
