Chapter 4 Be obedient
"That's what happened." Jiang Youcheng patted Liu's arm, "Go to bed quickly. You need to get up early tomorrow to cut more rattan. I will make more rattan baskets in the next two days."
Jiang Youcheng has the skill of weaving baskets. He usually weaves some wicker baskets during the slack season on farm days and then takes them to the town to exchange for some money at the market. He doesn't earn much, but it is enough to supplement the family income.
There have been a series of misfortunes at home, and I have very little money left. I have to hurry and make some money.
"By the way, make a steamed egg custard for Xiaoxia and Jingyun tomorrow morning. These two children need to be well nourished." Jiang Youcheng instructed.
"Okay." Liu nodded. "One and a half per person. For such a big person, one may not be enough."
But if there are too many, I really can’t take out that much.
"It's up to you..."
Before Jiang Youcheng finished his words, he started snoring again.
Liu also lay down.
In the west room, Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun were lying on the same bed.
Back to back.
Although she knew that the other person was her future husband, Jiang Mixia was still not used to lying in the same bed with someone she just met. Even though she was very sleepy, she couldn't fall asleep at this moment.
Song Jingyun couldn't sleep either.
One reason is that this body has been in a coma for a long time, and the other is that he has not yet fully accepted the idea of time travel.
It was late at night, and light was pouring in through the window, making everything hazy and unreal.
But the high and low sounds of insects chirping outside, and the feeling of his hand stroking this thing called a quilt, all told him clearly that he was in another time and space.
A world completely different from my hometown.
Song Jingyun was silent for a long time, then he gently nudged Jiang Mixia with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Can I still return to my own world?"
"Probably not." Jiang Mixia replied.
Song Jingyun thought for a while, "Since I came here after I died, if I die now, can I go back?"
"If you are not afraid of dying completely, you can try it."
"Forehead……"
Song Jingyun seemed to be thinking about something, and he killed the idea that had just sprouted in his mind. Then he asked, "Yes, you told me before that I am a son-in-law, so what exactly is a son-in-law?"
"Here, when a man and a woman get married, it is common for the woman to live in the man's home. When a man like you moves into a woman's home, he is called a son-in-law."
Jiang Mixia answered patiently, "A son-in-law must serve his wife and his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and obey their orders. Otherwise, he will be punished for not doing his duty."
"How to punish?" Song Jingyun's voice became a little small.
"It depends on the situation. If it's a minor offense, the punishment could be kneeling and spanking. If it's a serious offense..." Jiang Mixia paused, "they might be burned to death."
Song Jingyun, "..."
Simple and crude! After a long silence, Song Jingyun spoke in a low voice, "I will listen to you and my parents."
There was a hint of flattery in his tone.
Jiang Mixia nodded, "Go to bed quickly, you need to get up early tomorrow."
"Um."
Song Jingyun turned over.
Jiang Mixia reached out and touched her nose.
It’s not that she wanted to scare people on purpose, it’s just that Song Jingyun’s situation is special.
He knew nothing about this world. If he behaved too abnormally and was treated as an alien in this world that believed in ghosts and gods, his life would be in danger.
After being frightened, people will feel cautious and act with discretion, which is a kind of protection.
Jiang Mixia closed her eyes.
The next day, the rooster crowed three times and the morning light appeared in the east.
Jiang Youcheng and Liu got up and got busy. Jiang Mixia also called Song Jingyun to get up and began to teach him how to dress, brush his teeth and rinse his mouth with willow twigs, fetch water to wash his face, and comb his hair.
The first few items went very smoothly, but Song Jingyun was a little flustered with the last one.
His long black hair was combed into a mess by him.
When learning for the first time, don’t set your expectations too high.
Jiang Mixia simply did it herself and helped him tie the bun.
"Thank you." Song Jingyun felt a little embarrassed.
"You're welcome."
Jiang Mixia took the comb and a smooth polished wooden stick to fix her hair. "Okay, let's go out. Dad and mom just called us to eat. Don't keep them waiting."
"Okay." Song Jingyun followed Jiang Mixia out of the house.
He had been staying in the house before and felt somewhat safe. But now he had to open the door and go outside to actually come into contact with a world that he knew nothing about. Song Jingyun still felt a little nervous.
His palms were sweating, and he subconsciously grabbed Jiang Mixia's sleeve.
This little son-in-law is really timid.
However, the young son-in-law's chick-like appearance made Jiang Mixia feel the love of an old mother.
Reaching out and patting his shoulder, Jiang Mixia said in a rather heroic tone, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, everything will be fine."
With her here, everything will be fine.
The girl's voice was soft and clear, like a spring breeze.
Song Jingyun felt relieved and loosened Jiang Mixia's sleeve.
"You should watch how I do things and learn from me. Slowly, you will be able to get along with others." Jiang Mixia added.
"Okay." Song Jingyun agreed, took a deep breath, and courageously followed Jiang Mixia to the yard.
Jiang Youcheng and Liu were sitting at a small table waiting. When they saw Song Jingyun following Jiang Mixia closely, they looked at each other.
It seems that the son-in-law is very attached to his daughter.
He seems to listen to her very well.
That's how it has to be...
The couple exchanged glances and understood each other. They didn't say much and just asked Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun to sit down.
Liu placed the steamed egg custard in front of the two of them, "This is yours. I added some sesame oil. Eat it quickly."
The fresh and tender egg custard had a faint aroma, and it was only available to the two of them. It was obvious that the dish was specially prepared for them.
Looking at the honest and loving old couple, Jiang Mixia picked up the egg custard and scooped a spoonful for Liu first, "Eat it, mother."
Song Jingyun was already hungry and was about to pick up the egg custard to eat. Seeing Jiang Mixia like this, he remembered what she had just told him to do, to watch her do it more and learn from her. After thinking for a while, he held the spoon in his hand, scooped a spoonful of stewed egg custard, and put it to Jiang Youcheng's mouth.
"Dad, eat."
Oh my goodness! Jiang Youcheng staggered in shock and almost spilled the porridge in the bowl in his hand.
After he stood firmly, he looked at Song Jingyun with a troubled face.
It is natural for a daughter to respect her mother, and it is also natural for a son-in-law to respect his father-in-law, but this son-in-law stretched out his hand to feed his father-in-law egg custard...
Ahem, it’s hard to accept for a moment.
Song Jingyun was stunned.
Jiang Mixia fed her mother and her mother's face was full of smiles.
He fed his father, and his father ran away in fear.
Is there something wrong?
Song Jingyun was a little panicked, "I..."
Jiang Youcheng looked at the frightened Song Jingyun and felt a little embarrassed. He only blamed himself for letting down the child's kindness and hurriedly explained, "It's okay. Dad knows you are filial. It's just that Dad doesn't like egg custard. I get annoyed when I smell the fishy smell of eggs. Don't worry about me, just eat it yourself."
