Chapter 147 Ginger Vinegar
“Mom, old chicken.”
Early in the morning on March 26, the two men hurried in with a large basket of chickens. At the door of the house, it looked like there were seven or eight of them. Azu, who had just gotten up, saw the hurried look of the second brother and asked: "Second brother, don't tell me, these chickens belong to Sister Wanling, right?" The patio garden has stocked up almost twenty chickens in the past two days, why? I bought so much today.
"That's right, Wanling can't live without chickens during confinement. One chicken a day, more than thirty chickens a month. How can we not buy them and keep them?" The second guy said to Ah Zu explained and then walked inside. As soon as the second brother walked in, the mother came out and said: "Azu, hurry up and pack the things in the living room. Wanling will be back in a moment."
"So fast?" Azu looked confused. .
"We don't want to come back so early. The hospital doesn't allow us to stay because the hospital beds are tight." When Azu was talking just now, Kang Qirui, Zhu Wanling and the others just returned to Kang's house, so Kang Qirui explained. Zhu Wanling, who was holding the baby, patted Kang Qirui gently and said with a smile: "I've been here for three days, what else do you want? Others were discharged from the hospital the same day they gave birth naturally, but you were nervous and kept staying."
Diana, who went to the hospital to pick someone up today, said with a smile: "Arui is nervous too." Then he picked up the things in his hands and said, "Hey, can you put the things directly back to the room for you?" Kang Qi Rui nodded and thanked.
"Wanling, hurry up, drink this soup." The mother immediately went to the kitchen to serve the soup. Kang Qirui quickly took the child from Zhu Wanling's arms, leaving Zhu Wanling free. Come and have soup. When Master Zhu saw her granddaughter being taken away from her daughter's arms, she kept staring at her, but Kang Qirui ignored her. She was joking, as a father, he didn't even hug her enough. How could he be willing to let Master Zhu hug her? .
But Kang Qirui was inexperienced. He hugged the child for a while and the child started crying. Zhu Shinai finally waited for the opportunity, and immediately ran over and took the child away. She didn't know what kind of magic she had cast, but the child calmed down very quickly after it was in her hands, which made Kang Qirui look confused. Encircled. Zhu Shimai was still standing next to her and laughed: "Look at how well-behaved we Siqi are, isn't it comfortable for my mother-in-law to hold her? Isn't it right that Old Dou doesn't know how to hug us and make us Siqi feel uncomfortable before we cry?"
Kang Qi Rui secretly vowed to learn how to give birth to a child. There would not be prenatal education classes like in later generations to teach parents how to hold a child. Nowadays, we all explore on our own and rely on experience, so Kang Qirui decided to find his second brother to learn from his experience. Before he could find his second brother, Lao Dou found Kang Qirui first: "Arui, what are you going to do with Siqi's household registration? If it ends up with us, I will bring the household registration book with you. Go to the street office.”
Kang Qirui had already thought about the household registration matter. He said: "We have thought about it and plan to move the household registration to the school, so that after the children settle down, they will not have to worry about studying in the future." He has long wanted to transfer the household registration to the school. He discussed it with Zhu Wanling at the end of last year After that, I bought two sets of welfare houses that the school had previously allocated to teachers at a higher price. With a household registration and a house, children will be able to enjoy the top school resources in Guangfu starting from elementary school.
It’s just that the child hadn’t been born yet at that time, and he suddenly proposed to change his household registration to avoid Mrs. Dou’s misunderstandings, so he didn’t propose it until now. The second elder also loved his granddaughter. When he heard that it was for her own good, he agreed without thinking about anything else. If Kang Qirui doesn't have children and wants to move out, I'm afraid Old Dou's mother will start: It's better to have a piece of barbecued pork than to give birth to you.
They were discussing the household registration here, and after Master Zhu and Zhu Wanling took the children back to the room, Master Zhu went to the kitchen and filled a large bowl of ginger vinegar and brought it to Zhu Wanling in the room, " Wanling, hurry up and eat a bowl of ginger vinegar."
"Mom, why did I put down the soup bowl again? I have gained several pounds in the past two days." Zhu Wanling just drank the soup. Now my stomach is full of chicken soup, and after another night of ginger vinegar, I really can’t eat it anymore. "Hey, what do you know? If you don't mend your confinement better, you will know you are wrong in the future." Master Zhu began to teach her lessons based on the experience of those who had been there.
Zhu Wanling's head felt heavy when she heard it, so she had to take the bowl and drink it. As soon as she took a sip, she spit it out, "What is this? Where is the ginger vinegar? Why is it so salty and astringent? It tastes so bad." Master Zhu frowned, "What? I'm watching this. My in-laws have been through it for a month. I’ll give it a try.”
Zhu Shinai took it over, took a sip, and spit it out. Now she couldn't bear it anymore. She pushed open the door with a bang and shouted: "Akang, what did you get for me Wanling? Oh? You suspect that I, Wanling, gave birth to a daughter for your Kang family?" I don’t know who it is. The two couples have always said that they hope to have a granddaughter. Aren’t they very happy? This is what they do when they are happy, right?” Come over. Lao Dou was scolded inexplicably, "My in-laws, what are you talking about? When have we ever treated Wanling badly?" His mother also said beside him: "Yes, yes, we never said anything about Wanling having a daughter. Oh, even if you say it, you are just saying that you are happy. What happened to the in-laws? "
Seeing Master Zhu so angry that her hair was about to explode, Kang Qirui could only say with a smile. : "Mom, what's wrong? There must be some misunderstanding. Our whole family is very happy when Siqi is born. We really have no other ideas." After confinement in the room, she also came to the door to persuade Master Zhu, " "Oh, Mom, please tell me slowly. There may be some misunderstanding." Zhu Shinui is eager to protect her daughter. She doesn't care about any misunderstandings. She just wants to find out today, "These ginger vinegars, use them." Chaozhou saying is that it is too salty to drink these things. Are you doing harm to me, Wanling, for giving birth to a girl but not a son?”
"It's impossible. I've tried the flavor and it tastes just right." said the second sister-in-law. She has been responsible for the ginger vinegar these days. It really took a month. "It tastes just right? Come on, you eat it all for me and I'll treat it like nothing happened." Master Zhu responded forcefully. She followed a truth: whether her daughter lives well or not depends entirely on her mother's family's toughness.
The second sister-in-law frowned and took a mouthful of it with a spoon. As soon as she put it in her mouth, she immediately spat it out, "Wow, it's really salty. There's no reason, I know it."
"Obviously what?" Now that the evidence is solid, what else do you have to say? "Zhu Shi Nai is unreasonable, and it is not convenient for Kang Qirui to speak out at this time. After all, Zhu Shi Nai is doing this for his wife Zhu Wanling. The second brother thought it was a prank played by Tianxiang, so he picked up the feather duster and went to find Tianxiang.
Yumi quickly stopped the second guy, and she said in a low voice: "It has nothing to do with Tianxiu, I think it should be my problem. But I was obviously jealous that day, and I don't know how it turned into "It's soy sauce."
It turns out that when Wan Ling gave birth, she specifically asked for leave to help. After delivering the red eggs at the hospital, Lao Dou asked Yu Mei to go back to Kang's house to get two more bags. Yu Mei returned to Kang's house immediately. Brother Niu had eaten all the sauce and vinegar in the kitchen. When she asked, she found out that Brother Niu came to the house to congratulate him when he heard that the Kang family had a grandson. When he came, he didn't see that the Kang family's nanny Xiu Gu opened the door for him.
Xiugu went to buy groceries after Brother Niu came in. Brother Niu was left alone at home. Brother Niu is a glutton. He smelled the ginger vinegar that had been boiling for a month in the kitchen, and he couldn't bear it. He ate it all with a bang, and was just seen by Yumi who came back to get the red eggs. Yumi scolded Brother Niu, and Brother Niu paid for Yumi to buy some ginger, some vinegar, and then poured it in to make up for it.
"I hurriedly went to buy vinegar that day, and happened to meet an old uncle who was also hurriedly buying soy sauce. Maybe something happened in his busy schedule." Yumi told the story of the incident. The second sister-in-law, who had been scolded just now, was very angry. She pointed at Yumi with a feather duster and said: "When you see Brother Niu eating it, tell us immediately, and we will naturally cook it again. First. Not to mention that you added the wrong soy sauce, even if you added vinegar, it won't have the original taste."
"Second sister-in-law, I'm sorry," Yumi apologized pitifully.
Kang Qirui waved his hand and said to the second sister-in-law: "Forget it, second sister-in-law Yumei also has good intentions and does bad things, so don't scold her." Then he turned to look at Master Zhu. Nai, "Mom, look, this is just a misunderstanding. Don't blame Yumei, she is really kind. She asked for leave that day to help, and today we went to the hospital early to pick up Wanling."
Master Zhu nodded and said nothing. She was just supporting her daughter. She knew it was a misunderstanding and she stopped making trouble. The mother breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the misunderstanding was resolved. She ordered: "Ah Guang, go to the market right now to buy pig's feet, ginger and vinegar. Ah Chan, go pour the soy sauce pig's feet and clean the pot. Wait until Ah Guang comes back from shopping." Start cooking again immediately."
After Master Zhu listened to her mother's instructions, she said, "Then there is no food for ginger vinegar today?" Zhu Wanling tugged on Master Zhu's clothes. "It doesn't matter. I'm full now anyway, so it doesn't matter if I don't eat." She was telling the truth. She really couldn't eat without stopping all day long.
Then she said to Master Zhu and Zhu Wanling: "Wanling, in-laws, I'm really sorry. Today is like this. I'll ask Azong to go to the restaurant and buy a bowl of ginger vinegar. I'll just eat that first today, okay?"
Master Zhu nodded, "I'm going to a five-star restaurant to buy it." She didn't really want to quarrel, she would just let it go. In this way, Zhu Wanling would be confident in the Kang family in the future. She was afraid that Zhu Wanling would be rejected by the Kang family if she gave birth to a daughter. Everyone also understood what she was thinking. No amount of explanations would be as good as actual actions, so the second brother was already ready to go out without any instructions from his mother, "Grandma Siqi, don't worry, I will take a taxi to White Swan to buy ginger for Wan Ling." Jealousy, don’t worry, I guarantee Wan Ling can eat it within an hour.”
