An old lady's life

Jia Min always felt that there were still questions she hadn't asked, but what her mother said made her a little confused, and she lay on the soft bed again. She was extremely tired from birth, and really fell asleep in a daze.

Around the end of the day, Hongye woke up from her afternoon nap, thinking that she should not sleep too much in the afternoon, so as not to get sleepy at night, so she woke Jia Min up.Jia Min rubbed her eyes, sat up with the quilt in her arms, and regained consciousness quickly.

Seeing her mother combing her hair in front of the vanity mirror, Jia Min lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed, as naughty as she was when she was a child.

"Mom, you really look better and better!"

Hongye smiled, and cast a glance at her daughter, "Poor mouth!" Mother Jia was indeed very old before, she really looked like an old woman in her sixties, but in the past month, Hongye has recovered her body, even if she is in her fifties The old lady is also the best among the old ladies.

Fei Cui and Liu Li heard the voices in the house, opened the door with hot water and walked in.After a brief wash, the mother and daughter walked out of the bedroom. The goat milk cooked by Hongye in the kitchen before lunch was just warm. Because the almond powder was added, the goat milk not only did not smell fishy, ​​but tasted even more fragrant.

Hongye asked Jia Min to use goat milk. Jia Min took a bowl and sniffed it carefully, and there was really no fishy smell. Then she tasted it and found that the taste was really good, so she lived up to her mother's wishes.

"Both goat's milk and cow's milk are good for the body, but people with poor digestion ability of cow's milk are not suitable for consumption. Goat's milk is no problem. After returning home, I plan to raise a dairy goat and cow, and cook goat's milk or cow's milk overnight for my son-in-law Eat it with your mother-in-law. You have to keep filial piety for your father, and you can’t eat meat, and it’s good to use more goat’s milk. You can use cow’s milk to clean your face properly, and it can beautify your face.”

Jia Min hugged her mother's arm, and said playfully and cutely: "Okay, then I'll give it a try when I go back."

After Jia Hu came to Rongxi Hall, Jia Min accompanied her nephew to read and practice calligraphy. Jia Zhu stumbled all the way to Rongxi Hall after waking up. Wanting to use her son to please her mother-in-law, but also afraid that her mother-in-law will teach her son to deny her as his own mother, Mrs. Wang is really entangled with her heart breaking into several petals.

It was getting dark early now, and the yamen got off work before Youshi. Today Lin Hai wanted to pick up his wife from Yue's house, so he didn't stay in the yamen for long, and left at that point.

In the past, the colleagues in the yamen still met to go to the restaurant to drink or drink tea together, but now Lin Hai does not have this qualification, and the colleagues know his situation, so they will not invite him.

The matter of Qi Frame was told by his colleagues. After all, there are only good restaurants and teahouses in the capital. Qi Frame doesn’t know Lin Hai’s colleagues, but Lin Hai’s colleagues know him. After the colleagues told Lin Hai, Lin Hai sent his servants to follow him. Qi frame for several days, and then saw Qi frame to the concubine's younger brother's outer room to celebrate his birthday.

At the entrance of the Imperial Academy, Lin Hai and his colleagues bid farewell one by one, then got into their own carriage, the coachman Lao Yang, and the servant Zhao Hua, and the carriage leisurely headed for Rongning Street.

Now that he had arrived at Yue's house, he naturally couldn't pass through the door. After Lin Hai entered the gate, he saw Jia Min teasing his two nephews under the dim light, smiling happily.

In the past, Jia Min was reserved and shy in front of him and his mother, and he had never seen such a hearty laugh.

"Ruhai pays homage to mother-in-law." He was here to pick up his wife, so naturally he was empty-handed. Of course, Jia Min brought a gift when he returned to his mother's house in the morning.

Hongye nodded: "Son-in-law, you're welcome."

Jia Min led Jia Hu and Jia Zhu and walked over from a distance, Jia Min smiled all over his face: "Master, you are here!"

Jia Hu followed suit and greeted: "Fourth Uncle." Jia Zhu followed suit.

Jia Min patted the heads of the two nephews, "My aunt has to go home. I will come back after two days and come back to check Hu'er's homework. Zhu'er can't forget Fourth Aunt."

She threw away her nephew's hand, trotted for a while, and hugged Hongye, "Mother, I'll be back in a few days."

Hong Ye smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go back, the two families are close, so you can come back anytime you want."

Lin Hai saluted Hongye again, and Jia Min smiled and waved to her mother. The young couple left after being escorted by the second housekeeper Lai Jian. After a while, Lai Jian came back and told Hongye that the fourth girl and fourth uncle got into the carriage, and the carriage disappeared. In the darkness, he turned around.

In the main hall of Huifang Courtyard, the servants have already set up the dishes and the table. Today, we don’t eat pots, which are ordinary soup dishes. We can start dinner when Lin Hai and Jia Min come back.

Ai Cao thinks about Hongye. She is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Hongye is a person who is tough on the outside and strong on the inside. People often give people the illusion that a female King Kong like her cannot be defeated. Who told her that she is stronger than a man? So her man should cheat on a tender and affectionate little girl.Now that she is in Jiamu's position, Hongye's temper has actually been restrained a bit, otherwise, no one in Rongfu would be able to stand up to her.

Hongye can also do something to teach/teach her son and daughter-in-law, but she seems to be unable to do anything, and Ai Cao can't help but feel a little depressed.The weather is good recently, why don't she also go to a temple in the suburbs to worship Buddha.

Worshiping Buddha is not the main thing, looking at the scenery and relaxing is the most important thing.As soon as she made a decision, Lin Hai and Jia Min appeared at the gate of Huifang Courtyard.

"Mother, please forgive my son for being late." Lin Hai apologized again, but Ai Cao ignored him, beckoning Jia Min to sit beside her, and she ordered the servants, "The food can be served."

Jia Min pursed her lips and smiled, as if she would not be so polite to her own mother, as if there was a relationship between mother and child, Lin Hai sat silently on the other side of her mother.

Ai Cao asked with a smile: "How is the mother-in-law?" Then she glanced at the cheap son, she really didn't like the habit of pleading guilty between mother and daughter, unless the younger generation really did something out of place, Otherwise, how can there be so many crimes?

"My mother is fine, and her complexion has recovered. My mother asked me to say hello to mother on her behalf." Jia Min smiled, the smile was very gentle, just right, not as indifferent as he saw in Rongfu. With a scrupulous smile, Lin Hai smiled slightly, his eyes flickering.

Ai Cao nodded again and again: "It's good to be in good health, there are still such a big family in Rongfu, your mother can't collapse."

When the food was on the table, the three of them stopped talking. Occasionally, Ai Cao asked a question, or Jia Min or Lin Hai replied, until the dinner was over and the leftovers on the table were removed, the topic became lively again.

When Jia Min mentioned the matter of goat milk and milk, Ai Cao thought in her heart that she had wanted to do something for a long time, but unfortunately she couldn't find a reason. The head of the Lin family is now Lin Hai, and the head wife is Jia Min. She can at most let people study some food , and it is researched on the existing basis, can it be possible to invent and create?

"If the goat's and cow's milk that my mother-in-law said is so useful, our family can't afford it. Besides, you are observing your filial piety now, and you really should pay attention to your health. You may wish to arrange it tomorrow. I also want to taste fresh food." Cow's milk and goat's milk, she thought she could instruct the chef to make some related pastries, cream and the like, so as to add some fun to her boring life.

Jia Min immediately smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will arrange it tomorrow."

Lin Hai thought in the background, has his status in mother's heart declined now?Why does the mother only care about her daughter-in-law and not her son?

Ai Cao glanced at Lin Hai, and said, "Hai'er's body has not been very strong, it is time to find more nutritious food, so as to supplement the body's nutrition."

Jia Min covered her mouth and smiled. She couldn't judge whether Lin Hai's body was strong or weak. After all, Lin Hai's young body had never had any problems.

The family night chat was almost over, and Ai Cao said: "I want to go to Huiqing Temple to worship Buddha tomorrow. I have been staying at home for a while, and I always feel a little bored." Seeing Lin Hai and Jia Min's expressions, Ai Cao immediately put on a tiger face, "You are not allowed to object, and Huiqing Temple is not far away. I will stay for two days, and I will be back in the afternoon the next day."

Jia Min didn't dare to make up his mind, looked at Lin Hai, Lin Hai nodded: "Okay, the weather has been relatively good in the past few days, and Huiqing Temple is only an hour away from the capital, so it's good for mother to go to relax." But as his son, Safety arrangements will naturally be in place, and the housekeeper will be instructed to send more people later to avoid any unexpected situations.

"It's more or less the same." There was a feeling of an old child cheating his son to succeed, Lin Hai couldn't help crying and laughing, but he hadn't seen such an energetic mother for a long time, Lin Hai then thought that although the weather has been good recently, the temperature has been cooling down , Mother doesn't seem to have called a doctor anymore, is it possible that Mother's body has recovered?

Ai Cao thought that maybe three years later, she could make an appointment with Hongye, and the two of them would hold a spring outing party in spring, a summer vacation party in summer, and an autumn harvest party in autumn, so that they could meet in an open and honest manner. stay home.

Lin Hai and Jia Min returned to the main courtyard. Lin Hai called the housekeeper to give instructions for the old lady's trip tomorrow. The housekeeper Lin Wen said that he will arrange everything properly, so don't worry about it.

After the housekeeper left, Lin Hai approached Jia Min, "Min'er, hasn't mother called a doctor recently?"

It was still early, and Jia Min usually dealt with government affairs during the day, and at night, Lin Hai was reading in the study or dealing with yamen affairs, and she would be a female celebrity in the house.

She paused with her sewing hand, looked at Lin Hai, thought about it for a moment, and nodded: "Yeah, it's been almost a month, and my mother hasn't called a doctor. My mother doesn't often go to the Buddhist hall now, and spends more time in the garden." Walk around and eat a balanced diet. During the last doctor's return visit, he said that if the mother continues to follow her current situation, she will not get sick often." What she didn't say was that the old lady was purely heart disease. After getting married and starting a career, he has no place in his heart, and often kneels in the cold Buddhist hall, and eats a vegetarian diet, which makes his body weak.

Lin Hai grinned happily, couldn't help hugging Jia Min, and said, "It seems that my mother has come out. I'm really afraid that she will miss my father and leave me."

After dawn the next day, Ai Cao set off from Lin's house to Huiqing Temple. Hongye sent three groups of people in Rongfu to give food to the three girls in the capital who were married to Jia's house. with the heart of her daughter.
