◎Who does he look like?◎
Wei Xiaolong also thought that today's dishes were particularly good, so he asked Wei's mother: "Mom, where did you get the mutton?"
"Your brother-in-law brought it back last night, saying that your sister would like to eat it now, so I stewed it. Your sister can't drink too much by herself, so I just put the rest into the pot. The vegetables have been washed, so you can just blanch them and eat them."
The truth is that Wei's mother saw that her daughter only drank the soup and ate little meat, so she added some water to the soup and made it into a mutton pot.
Wei Xiaolong and Wei Sansao, who were unaware of the situation, did not notice that the mutton soup tasted a bit bland. They ate it with gusto, not even leaving out the bones.
Wei's mother also thought it was delicious. Although a little more water was added, it was still meat after all!
After lunch, Wei Xuan woke up, and Wei Sansao finally had time to go into the house to see the child.
After a few days of growth, little Yuanyuan has grown up a lot. At least Jiang Che, as a father, will no longer doubt that the child is not his own.
Mrs. Wei San was not very good at speaking polite words and just kept praising the child for his good looks.
...
...
Wei Xuan was so praised that she began to doubt whether she, as a mother, was setting too high expectations for her daughter. To be honest, even though her daughter was her biological child, Wei Xuan could not confidently say that she was pretty now. At most, she looked better than when she was just born.
Mrs. Wei didn't notice Wei Xuan's distorted expression, but Mother Wei saw it and interrupted her daughter-in-law first: "Okay, I've said what I need to say. While Xiaolong is here, let him take you to the house to clean up. You can come over for dinner tonight."
After sending her daughter-in-law away, Wei's mother said to Wei Xuan with a look of annoyance: "Is there any mother like you? You even dislike your own daughter."
Wei Xuan was wronged. She was clearly facing up to the little girl's shortcomings! She was indeed not pretty now, but no matter how ugly she was, she was still her own flesh and blood after ten months of pregnancy. How could she despise her?
In the evening, Wei Xuan complained to Jiang Che: "Do you think that in my mother's eyes, Yuanyuan has no flaws? Didn't you see that in the afternoon, my third sister-in-law praised Yuanyuan to the heavens. I wonder if she really thought our Yuanyuan was a fairy. I just couldn't stand it anymore and frowned, so my mother said that I disliked Yuanyuan."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Che did not stand on Wei Xuan's side this time: "Our Yuanyuan is already pretty, no matter how much praise we give her, it's hard to overdo it."
Wei Xuan glanced at him and said, "I wonder who was worried a few days ago that she wouldn't be able to get married when she grows up."
"Ahem..." Jiang Che coughed awkwardly twice: "Please don't mention this in front of your daughter. What if she understands and thinks I dislike her?"
"Hmph." Wei Xuan ignored her, turned over and went to sleep.
The day after Wei Sansao settled down, Wei Xuan asked Jiang Che to take her to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Wei Xuan had discussed this matter with Sister Hong before she asked for leave. When she saw Jiang Che bringing someone with him, she immediately asked enthusiastically, "Is Xiaoxuan giving birth?"
"It's a baby girl. Here are some happy eggs. Please help me distribute them to everyone later, Sister Hong."
Sister Hong got along well with Wei Xuan, so she took the Xidan without hesitation and said, "Okay, my daughter is good, and my daughter is thoughtful. Don't worry, I will take care of the Xidan."
Jiang Che had nothing to worry about. After a few pleasantries, he pointed to Sister Wei and introduced her to her: "This is Sister Wei from my wife's family. She is here to take over for my wife. I'd like to trouble Sister Hong to take care of her."
"It's not a big deal. Xiaoxuan has already told me about this matter. Just leave it to me. You can go and do your own thing."
After finishing the discussion, Jiang Che did not stay for long as he had to rush to work.
After Jiang Che left, Third Sister Wei smiled at Sister Hong a little awkwardly. Sister Hong was very kind and asked Third Sister Wei to find a place to sit for a while. She went to distribute Wei Xuan's wedding eggs before the supply and marketing cooperative opened.
After sending it, I came back to make arrangements for Wei Sansao.
"You are Xiaoxuan's sister-in-law, right? I see you are younger than me, so I will call you my sister-in-law. From now on, you can just call me Sister Hong like Xiaoxuan." Then she pointed to a place and continued, "This counter is managed by Xiaoxuan. You will just work here from now on. When someone comes, sell the items to them according to the price. If you are unsure, come and ask me. I'll be right next to you."
"Okay, thank you Sister Hong."
On the first day that Mrs. Wei went to work, Wei's mother was a little uneasy at home.
Wei Xuan comforted her: "Mom, don't worry, the work at the supply and marketing cooperative is simple, and there will be no problem with the third sister-in-law."
Mother Wei shook her granddaughter in her arms and said, "You think it's easy because you are smart. Your third sister-in-law can't compare with you. What if she does the job wrong, will you be implicated?" Mother Wei was mainly afraid that her daughter-in-law would ruin her daughter's job.
"It's okay. I'm not worried." Wei Xuan was helpless. Probably every mother would think that her own child is the smartest and most capable. At least she didn't think that Mrs. Wei San was any dumber than her.
It was not until Wei Sansao came home from get off work in the afternoon that Wei's mother felt relieved after hearing her story of the day.
After dinner in the evening, Mrs. Wei San prepared to go home.
Mother Wei followed her, and when they reached the door, she grabbed her and looked furtively into the yard. After making sure that no one was there, she lowered her voice and said to Third Sister Wei, "Starting tomorrow, don't come here for dinner. It's best not to eat lunch in the cafeteria either. Just make something for yourself, put it in a lunch box and take it to the supply and marketing cooperative to eat."
"Ah?" Mrs. Wei San had been eating well these past two days and was enjoying herself very much. Now that she was asked to go back to her previous diet, she immediately became unhappy.
"What?" Mother Wei scolded with a stern face, "You have to remember that you come here to make money. How can you spend a lot of money before making any? Anyway, remember what I say. If you perform well, I will cook two delicious dishes for you to enjoy."
"Okay." She had no money, so she had to do whatever her mother-in-law said.
From the next day on, Wei Sansao stopped coming to eat, and Wei Xuan didn't ask Wei's mother. Since Wei's mother did this, she must have her concerns, so she just pretended not to know.
The days passed like this, and soon the day of the full moon arrived, and Wei Xuan was finally able to leave the confinement period.
Jiang Che must have asked for leave early that day. Wei Xuan also wrapped herself up tightly and followed her mother to a nearby bathhouse to take a bath the night before. After coming out of the bathhouse, she felt that she had weighed three pounds lighter.
Although he was not at work, Jiang Che could not sleep in that day.
Jiang Che was awakened by his daughter's crying early in the morning. He quickly got up and hugged her to comfort her, then let her go to her mother's arms to eat.
After taking care of his daughter, he got dressed and got up. Today, not only his parents would come, but also his eldest brother and sister-in-law, three sisters, and his aunt's family would all come.
He has to get up early and go to the kitchen to help his mother-in-law.
Mother Wei is old and sleeps less, so she is the first one to get up in the family every day.
When Jiang Che arrived at the kitchen, Wei's mother had already prepared breakfast. Seeing her son-in-law coming, she pointed to the big pot and said, "The dumplings are ready. Eat first, and then call Ni'er to eat after you finish."
"Okay, Mom. If there's anything that needs to be washed, just keep it. I'll take it outside to wash it after I finish eating." The water is very cold in winter, and now even the job of washing Yuanyuan's diapers at home has been taken over by Jiang Che.
Wei's mother didn't bother to be polite with him. If her son-in-law wanted to work, she would definitely not stop him. It was good to have her here now, but when she returned to her hometown, she couldn't leave these chores to her daughter alone. She let her son-in-law get familiar with the work first, so that her daughter would have a helper later.
However, in the end, these jobs did not fall into Jiang Che's hands, but were taken over by the three sisters of the Jiang family who arrived early.
"Sister, why are you here so early? Where are my brother-in-law and nephews? How come you are here together?"
Sister Wei said, "My parents called us several days in advance and told us that your aunt-in-law would be too busy to handle it alone, so they asked us to come early to help today."
"Yes, yes, we got up before daybreak. Your brother-in-law and his family will come over after lunch."
Section 36
As they were talking, Wei's mother came out from the kitchen, and Jiang Che quickly introduced them.
Knowing that they had come specially to help, Wei's mother welcomed them and led them into the kitchen.
Seeing that there was no place for him here, Jiang Che had to go back to the house.
Wei Xuan had just coaxed her daughter to sleep and was about to get dressed when she saw him come in and asked, "Is someone coming?" She could hear the chattering outside from her room.
"My eldest sister, second sister, and third sister are all here, and they are now helping mom cook in the kitchen."
Wei Xuan paused and asked, "You came so early?"
In fact, not only the three sisters of the Jiang family came early, but Jiang's mother also came early. She had to go to work during the week, and only occasionally after get off work in the evening could she come here with Jiang's father to see her granddaughter, because she missed her very much.
She finally got a break today, but she couldn't sit still at home and ran over here after breakfast.
Wei Xuan went to the kitchen to eat. Jiang Che was standing at the door of the room, watching the children and waiting for his wife. Seeing his mother coming alone, he asked curiously, "Dad went to work?"
Mother Jiang nodded: "Let me see if my granddaughter has grown prettier after not seeing her for a few days?"
Jiang Che pointed to the house and said, "He's sleeping inside."
Hearing this, Jiang's mother walked in much more slowly.
On the kang, little boy Yuanyuan is sleeping soundly, with his two little fists clenched into fists on both sides of his head, his little mouth slightly open, and he makes a sound occasionally, which is very cute.
Mother Jiang stared at the little face, which was whiter and tenderer than tofu, without blinking. After a long time, Jiang Che also came over.
"Mom, isn't my daughter very pretty?"
"It looks good. It looks really good."
"So do you think she looks like me or my wife?"
Mother Jiang then turned to look at her son, then moved her eyes back to her granddaughter's face and looked at her carefully: "Her eyes are like yours, long and narrow, and her nose and mouth are like Xiaoxuan's."
“Why do I feel like the nose looks more like me?”
Wei Xuan had just finished her meal and came in when she heard Jiang Che's shameless words. During this period, the two of them had argued about who their daughter looked more like no less than ten times. No matter who they asked, they all said that her mouth and nose looked more like her, but he just wouldn't give up.
Perhaps he heard footsteps, Jiang Che looked back and saw it was Wei Xuan. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed, wondering if his wife had heard what he had just said.
Wei Xuan ignored her and greeted her mother-in-law directly: "Mom, you are here?"
Mother Jiang turned around with a smile: "Yes, I came to see Yuanyuan. Your mother is in the kitchen, right? I'll go say hello to her."
"Mom, I'll take you there." Jiang Che spoke quickly.
As soon as Jiang's mother arrived in the kitchen, Wei's mother came to greet her: "Mother-in-law is here? Have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten, I've eaten. I said I came early, but I didn't expect you guys to be so busy. Is there anything I can help with..."
After sending Jiang's mother to the kitchen, Jiang Che came back in a split second.
"Wife~"
Wei Xuan ignored him.
Jiang Che sat down next to her: "Wife, I was wrong. I will never say that Yuanyuan looks like me again."
Wei Xuan was not angry at all because the child looked like him, but she was angry at him for being childish. He kept asking this question over and over again and never stopped!
Besides, isn't it normal for her to have a child who looks like her after ten months of pregnancy? He keeps pestering about this issue and doesn't get tired of it.
"I won't argue with you. By the way, have you found any clues about the house I asked you to find last time?"
Talking about business, Jiang Che put away the joking expression on his face and became serious.
The author has something to say:
Thank you all for giving a name to little baby Yuanyuan.
Grow up peacefully and happily~
