The couple's new home was in the west room of the main house. The layout of the room was simple. There was a kang on the south side, and a desk with a desk lamp and two books on it against the wall next to the entrance.
There is a new Butterfly brand sewing machine between the two north windows. It was bought when I got married.
On the west side is a tall cabinet with mirrors on both doors, painted with flowers blooming in all seasons and birds singing and flowers blooming.
Ai Xiaoxia was a little surprised when she looked at herself in the mirror. Apart from anything else, she was really beautiful. She was just an ordinary person in her previous life, but now she felt that her looks had reached the point where she could make a living with her looks. Of course, her abilities did not require her to rely on her looks, after all, she was also full of talent.
Seeing Ai Xiaoxia staring at the mirror in a daze, Lu Jingshen was also puzzled. This girl seemed very strange today, and even her appearance seemed different. She was very energetic.
After admiring her own beauty, Ai Xiaoxia felt much better. Being young and beautiful, how many people dream of it?
She continued to look around the room. There was a row of kang cabinets on the kang against the west wall. The bright red new quilts were neatly folded on the cabinets. There was a small kang table at the head of the kang, next to the edge of the kang. On the table was a tea tray with four glasses on it. The big red wedding character on the window reminded Ai Xiaoxia that this was her new house.
Lu Jingshen took a red iron thermos from the north windowsill and poured two cups of water: "Drink water."
Ai Xiaoxia sat on the edge of the kang next to the table: "Thank you."
After that, the two fell silent again. They had a lot to say, but didn't know how to say it.
At this time, a woman's voice outside broke the silence: "Mom, my brother-in-law just sent our family a piece of beef, and my mother-in-law asked me to send you half, saying that you just got a new daughter-in-law, so we have to make something good."
Ai Xiaoxia remembered the voice. This was Lu Jingshen's sister Lu Lin, who got married two years ago. She was cheerful and a nice person. Her family were honest farmers. Although they were not rich, they lived in harmony. Her husband's family was also in the countryside, so it was close, so she came back often.
When guests came, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen went to the east room together.
Li Shaofen had just found a small bowl to put the beef in. When she saw Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen coming over, she said, "Xiaolin brought some beef. I'll stew it for you tonight."
Lu Lin didn't come these two days because she felt that her brother and sister-in-law had just gotten married and it was inappropriate for her to come often, so she didn't know much about what Ai Xiaoxia had been doing these two days.
Ai Xiaoxia recalled in her heart that the only member of the Lu family that she had not harmed was her sister-in-law. At least there was someone who had not caused her any harm, which was good.
She smiled and said to Lu Lin, "Thank you, Xiaolin, for thinking of us in everything."
Lu Lin said enthusiastically, "Sister-in-law, my brother is never at home. If there's any heavy work at home, just come to me. I'll ask my son Zhuzi to do it."
Ai Xiaoxia said: "I see, sister-in-law will not be polite with you, please sit down and I will pour you a glass of water."
After saying this, Ai Xiaoxia suddenly felt that she was quite adapted to the identity of the Lu family's daughter-in-law. However, adaptation is always better than not adapting, and even if she is not adapted, she cannot change her identity.
Lu Lin didn't sit down either. She pulled Ai Xiaoxia's arm and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'm going back now. The child has been coughing these past two days. I just came out while he was sleeping. If he wakes up and can't find me, he'll cry again."
Ai Xiaoxia really knew that Lu Lin's child was only a little over a year old, so she quickly said, "Then you should go back quickly. By the way, if the child has a cough due to a fever, you can stew some snow pears with rock sugar and give it to the child to drink."
Lu Lin frowned when she heard this: "It's not a good time to buy pears."
Ai Xiaoxia also realized that most fruits in the north were in season at this time, so she said, "Then you can stew some white fungus with rock sugar. You can also give your child some tomatoes and radishes, which are good for moistening the lungs. Also, let your child drink more boiled water to promote metabolism. Remember not to eat oily foods, especially peanuts and melon seeds. Don't let your child touch them recently."
Lu Lin was a bit polite at first, but now she was really happy. She took Ai Xiaoxia's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, you know so much. Thank you. I'll go back now. I'll come talk to you in a couple of days."
Ai Xiaoxia nodded in agreement: "Well, if you have nothing to do, bring the children back to play."
Before Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen could react, Lu Lin had already said goodbye and hurried home.
After Lu Lin left, Lu Jingshen looked at Ai Xiaoxia with doubt and asked, "Do you know medicine?" Because what Ai Xiaoxia said just now were not just folk remedies, but some of them were professional terms.
Ai Xiaoxia then remembered that she had said too much, and quickly thought of an excuse and said with a smile: "You overestimate me. I have read a few books on medicinal food before and know some common sense, but I don't understand medicine."
Lu Jingshen sighed: "I heard from grandpa that you are a good student. If he hadn't passed away so early, maybe you would have had a chance to go to university."
Ai Xiaoxia was also quite helpless: "This is fate, but you don't have to take exams to study. I can read more books in the future. I see you have quite a few books in your bookcase."
After hearing what Ai Xiaoxia said, Lu Jingshen said with a gleam in his eyes, "Whatever book you want to read, I'll buy it for you."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Let me take a look at the books in your bookcase first. When I go to the city later, I can go to the library to get a library card. It will be convenient."
Lu Jingshen looked at Ai Xiaoxia with more doubt in his eyes: "Have you been to the library?"
Ai Xiaoxia found that the more she talked about it, the more loopholes she found. She decided to talk less about it in the future: "I heard my teacher talk about it when I was in school."
Li Shaofen smiled at Lu Jingshen and said, "Why do you have so many questions, kid? Well, if you have anything to say, go back to the room and talk. I'll make you some beef buns tonight."
Originally, Ai Xiaoxia wanted to make boiled beef or something in the evening. After all, she was a popular food blogger in her previous life and her cooking skills were pretty good.
But when I thought about how talking and doing too much would easily reveal flaws, I quickly shut up. There would be plenty of opportunities to show off my skills in the future, and now I haven't figured out all these things yet, so it's better to keep a low profile.
The mother-in-law always hoped that she and Lu Jingshen could spend more time alone together, but when she thought about being alone together, she didn't know what to say and it was quite awkward.
Lu Jingshen saw through Ai Xiaoxia's thoughts, so he said to her, "How about we go out for a walk?"
Ai Xiaoxia thought it was a good idea to go out for a walk. At least she could go out, see people and things, and have something to talk about. Otherwise, it would not be a good idea to just sit in the room staring at each other, so she nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked out of the yard and had only taken a few steps when they saw Lu Jingyuan coming towards them.
When Lu Jingyuan saw Ai Xiaoxia, he turned around and walked back. Anyway, he didn't want to talk to Ai Xiaoxia, so he just hid.
Lu Jingshen shouted to Lu Jingyuan, "Jingyuan, are you planning to hide from us for the rest of your life?"
Lu Jingyuan stopped and didn't look back: "Brother, I'm not hiding from you."
