Chapter 239 Heart-to-heart talk
Zhang, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly ran to the ox cart which had not yet stopped, and then handed the thin blanket in her arms into the carriage, asking Song Li to wrap Jiang Huan before coming out.
Song Li handed Jiang Huan, who was wrapped tightly, to Zhang, and then jumped off the ox cart.
Zhang hugged Jiang Huan and whispered, "Huan'er is home, follow grandma into the house."
Song Tian, who was passing by, walked towards the Song family. Song Changhe asked Zhang to take Jiang Huan home first, while he and Song Li stayed to talk to Song Tian.
Song Li greeted Song Tian with a smile: "Second Madam."
Song Tian smiled at Song Li, and then asked Song Changhe: "Was that Xiaoli's child your wife was holding just now? Did the child's father come over?"
While paying the bill for the old man driving the ox cart, Song Changhe explained to Song Tianshi: "Second aunt, the child is still young, and we dare not let him get windy, so we quickly let Xiaoli's mother take him home. Second aunt, don't blame us for being rude. When the child is older, I will take him home to see you, my grandmother. My son-in-law has something else to do, so I will come over on the day Xiaoyue gets married."
"Look at what Changhe said. How could I bother with a child? It's really cold today. You all should go back. I want to go home too." After saying this, Song Tian turned around and left, rubbing her cracked hands.
As Song Changhe walked, he said to Song Li who was following him, "Your mother and Huan'er went to Xiaoyue's room. You two will stay with Xiaoyue first."
Song Li took the bag handed to her by Song Changhe, walked around the vegetable garden and entered the room with the wooden door half open.
When Song Yue saw Song Li coming in, she hurriedly took the bag from Song Li's hand and put it on the wooden box beside the bed.
Song Li walked to the bed, reached under the quilt and untied the thin blanket that wrapped Jiang Huan. Jiang Huan moved his little hands twice, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to fall into a deep sleep.
Zhang pushed the sisters Song Li and Song Yue to the door and whispered to them, "Xiao Li, I'll take care of Huan Er. You and Xiao Yue go eat first. I've made chicken soup."
Song Yue turned around and discussed with Zhang: "Mother, I'll take care of Huan'er."
Zhang smiled and blocked the door, waving her hand to signal the two sisters to go and eat quickly.
Hearing the noise, Song Changhe stood up from the stove, walked to the kitchen door and shouted to the sisters Song Li and Song Yue: "Don't refuse anymore, Xiaoli and Xiaoyue, come here quickly, so you can take your mother's place after you finish eating."
Zhang angrily walked towards Song Changhe, pointed at Song Yue's room and scolded Song Changhe: "Huan'er is still sleeping, can't you keep your voice down? How can you be a grandfather?"
Song Changhe lowered his head and touched his nose like a child who had made a mistake.
Zhang no longer paid attention to Song Changhe, turned around and pointed at Song Li and Song Yue who were still standing there. Song Li hurriedly pulled Song Yue's sleeve and walked quickly into the kitchen, fearing that if she was slower, Zhang would transfer her anger to herself.
Song Changhe turned around and glanced at Song Li and Song Yue who were serving rice, and smiled as he told Zhang to go back to the room to see Jiang Huan.
Zhang reached out and twisted Song Changhe's wrist, then glared at him with a reproachful look.
Song Changhe rubbed his wrist and walked into the kitchen, smiling and calling on Song Li and Song Yue who were waiting for him to start eating.
The meal was eaten quickly. Song Yue asked Song Li to go back to her room first while she stayed to clean up the dishes.
As soon as Song Li opened the door, Jiang Huan started crying loudly.
Zhang quickly stood up to make room for Song Li. Song Li quickly checked Jiang Huan's diaper and found that he had peed.
"Mom, go eat."
"Can you do it alone?"
"Mom, Huan'er is already more than two months old. Even if I am dumb, I should be able to learn. Besides, I am not dumb."
"Okay then, I'll let Xiaoyue come over."
Zhang turned and walked out of the room, and Song Li also changed the diaper neatly.
Soon, Song Yue hurried into the room.
Seeing Song Li holding Jiang Huan and feeding him, Song Yue hurried to the window and looked at the yard outside. She did not walk to the bed until Song Li put Jiang Huan down.
"Sister, were you happy when you married my brother-in-law?" Song Yue asked Jiang Huan teasingly while holding a handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water.
Song Li was stunned for a moment and answered truthfully: "I forgot. It shouldn't be happiness, but confusion. I am confused about how to go about my future life."
"Did your sister like your brother-in-law at that time? I remember your sister was once anxious and angry because of your brother-in-law." Song Yue continued to ask.
Song Li looked up at Song Yue who also had a confused look on her face, and replied softly, "I can't say I like him, I just think he's a good match. He treats me well, so I'm naturally worried about him. If I lose him, I'll have to find another man who treats me well, which is quite troublesome."
Song Yue was amused by Song Li's words and raised her hand to cover the corners of her mouth that were raised.
Song Li then asked Song Yue if she had anything on her mind.
Song Yue told Song Li frankly: "Sister, the closer the wedding date is, the more confused I feel. The anticipation in my heart has been completely replaced by anxiety."
Song Li hurriedly asked why.
Song Yue frowned and answered seriously: "Sister, Mingde has to study, and Minghui also has to go to the city. I don't know how to face Mingde's parents alone. Although they are still my parents after marriage, they are not my biological children after all. I can't get close to them, nor can I be distant from them."
After hearing this, Song Li couldn't help but sigh that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is indeed an eternal problem. She then suggested that Song Yue could communicate with Wu Mingde and not keep the matter in her heart.
Song Yue nodded in agreement, and her heart began to be full of expectations for the future again.
The 15-year-old girl may not understand what love is, but she just wants to spend her life with the boy she likes based on her intuition. There is no excitement in the ordinary days, and the real life is the daily necessities.
The biting north wind blew for two days in a row, and just when everyone thought it was going to snow, the sky cleared up on the morning of the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.
Song Li handed the well-fed Jiang Huan to Song Yue and Zhang, and followed Song Tian, Song Wu and Song Li to the Wu family's new house to prepare the rooms.
Wu Li, Wu Mingshu and Lin Chunhong welcomed Song Li and others into the main house where red silk was already hung.
The oldest ladies, Song Tian and Wu Li, were exchanging polite words.
Wu Mingshu and Jin Chunhong opened the wooden cabinet, which contained the selected curtains and beddings. All Song Li and the other two had to do was hang up the red curtains and spread out the green satin mattress, red sheets and red satin quilts.
After everything was packed up, Song Tian said goodbye to Wu and Li, and took Song Li and the other two back to the Song family to report to Zhang.
The Song family's yard was very lively. Song Yue held Jiang Huan and stood under the locust tree watching Song Lan and the other two jump rope.
Jiang Huan was attracted by the hemp rope shaken by Song Sheng and Song Lan, and tried to pull the hemp rope in Song Wan's hand with his little hands.
“Click, click”…
The hemp rope kept swinging on the ground, and Song Wan's legs jumped up and down to the rhythm of the hemp rope. Her long braids kept swaying in the wind, and a thin layer of sweat beads appeared on her forehead, exuding the breath of youth.
Song Hui carried Song Liu on his back and walked back and forth in the yard. The two-year-old girl lay on Song Hui's strong shoulders and called out in a baby voice, "Brother, brother...brother."
Song Li took Jiang Huan with a smile, and carried him to chase Song Hui and Song Liu who were running in the yard.
Jiang Huan waved his chubby little hands happily. His pair of black and bright eyes looked around like a little fish swimming into a clear spring. He opened his mouth wide and laughed “Ahaha, Ahaha”.
Song Wan panted and jumped out of the range of the rope. She squatted on the ground and shouted to Song Yue who was still standing under the locust tree, "Sister Xiaoyue, let's jump rope together."
Song Yue looked hesitantly at Zhang who was talking to Song Tian and others. Zhang turned her head and smiled at Song Yue.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Song Yue ran over to replace Song Lan, and Song Wan then stood up and took the rope end held by Song Sheng, and the "click, click" sound rang out again.
"Hahaha...hahaha..."
The girls' clear laughter echoed into the sky, forming a heart-stirring swan song.
