Summer is gradually entering, and the mornings are getting brighter and earlier.
The red candles in the new house had not yet burned out, and the morning light shone in from the window, giving the bedroom a glimmer of light.
Situ Man opened his eyes, propped himself up and sat up. Seeing that it was already light outside the window, he looked panicked: "Oops, I got up late. My mother specifically told me to get up early on the first day of the wedding. Why am I snoozing again?" Already..."
"It's not too late." Cheng Zhao chuckled lightly, "I told grandma last night that I would serve tea at 4:30 this morning."
Situ Man patted his chest: "That's okay, I can still sleep for a little while."
So he fell down again.
The smile on Cheng Zhao's face couldn't be hidden at all. His wife was young and had a lively personality. When he met her for the first time, she was like a brilliant light shining on him. He hoped that this light would always be in his life. middle.
He stretched out his hand to press the quilt for his wife, while he sat up and put on his clothes.
Maybe he heard some noise coming from the house. The maid guarding outside knocked on the door and whispered: "Uncle, Miss, can I come in?"
Cheng Zhao put on his coat and gently opened the door: "Come in in a quarter of an hour."
The maid lowered her head and said, "That servant will help my uncle wash up."
"No need." Cheng Zhao's voice was very soft, "Just serve the good lady."
He tied the belt around his waist and walked out of the house. After washing in the side room, he sat in the yard and started reading.
The woman who was sweeping the yard put down the broom and walked into the new house quietly. When she saw her young lady still sleeping soundly on the bed, she frowned and hurriedly called someone: "Miss, it's getting late. Get up quickly. Then Mrs. Bian and the old man got up an hour ago..."
Situ Man said vaguely: "My husband said I can sleep for a while longer..."
"Miss is no longer a girl, and she can no longer be as willful as before." The mother-in-law taught her earnestly, "When my uncle gets up, the miss should help him dress and wash. This is what a wife should do, and my uncle should not do it." I care about it, but the young lady has to do it...Why are you still sleeping? Get up quickly, I will help the young lady dress and comb her hair..."
Situ Man suddenly sat up and said, "Mom did tell me, why did I forget it? Quickly, help me get dressed and wash up..."
Two maids from outside came in, quickly helped her comb her hair and wash herself, and then put on a pair of ordinary cloud-white clothes. Since the Cheng family was from a poor family, Mrs. Situ had specifically told her to wear ordinary clothes in the Cheng family. , don’t be too outstanding.
Cheng Zhao sat in the yard and read two pages of the book, then saw Situ Man walking out of the new house.
Wearing a cloud-white dress, it was completely different from yesterday's red wedding dress. She originally looked carefree, but when she saw Cheng Zhao staring at her, her cheeks suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and said sheepishly: "Mr. "I was too tired last night and couldn't get up in the morning. I didn't help my husband to dress and wash. I hope my husband won't care about me."
"I have hands and feet, what do I need you to do?" Cheng Zhao closed the book and stood up, "Our Cheng family comes from the countryside. Country people don't have so many rules. You don't need to restrain yourself. Just do whatever is comfortable for you. Let's go. Come on, go to the front yard.”
The two walked to the front yard. Everyone in the lobby was here. Mrs. Cheng and Mr. Cheng were sitting at the head table. Brother Cheng and Sister-in-law Cheng were sitting at the bottom. There were two boys of about ten years old in the second and third bedrooms of the Cheng family. Playing in the yard, when he saw Cheng Zhao and his two coming, he shouted loudly: "Brother, sister-in-law!"
The four people chatting in the lobby suddenly stopped talking and looked up at the courtyard.
Sister-in-law Cheng twitched her lips: "If you don't get up until this time, people in our Chengjia Village will poke you in the spine and call you a lazy woman..."
"This is not Chengjia Village." Old Mrs. Cheng glanced at her, "If you make Zhao'er and his wife unhappy later, be careful as I prepare a meal for you."
Sister-in-law Cheng had no choice but to swallow her complaints.
She looked up and saw Situ Man walking towards the two children in the yard, and then gave each of them an embroidered purse.
The two children opened the purses directly, revealing the golden leaves. The two children were shocked, and the four adults sitting in the lobby were also shocked.
"You're so rich..." Sister-in-law Cheng swallowed her saliva, "It would be great if we brought Zhao'er's younger brother and sister..."
There were four children in their eldest family, but because the second and third bedrooms caused trouble, the three younger ones stayed in Chengjiacun.
Situ Man gave his brothers a greeting gift and then followed Cheng Zhao into the lobby.
Cheng Zhao spoke first: "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom."
Situ Man shouted obediently.
The waiting woman brought tea, and the newlyweds knelt down to serve tea one by one.
Mrs. Cheng and Mr. Cheng gave her a green hairpin, while Brother Cheng and Sister-in-law Cheng gave her the gold bracelets they had prepared last night.
"Xiaoman, this is the heirloom of our Cheng family." Sister-in-law Cheng lied without blushing at all, "Only the eldest daughter-in-law can wear this gold bracelet. From now on, you will be the young lady of our Cheng family. Except Zhao'er, you Lord, we, the Cheng family, rely on you two to make our family shine."
Situ Man put on the gold bracelet, lowered his head and said, "My daughter-in-law has already remembered it."
Then, she took out the gifts she had prepared, a pair of shoes for each elder.
Sister-in-law Cheng took the shoes over, but couldn't wait for the next step. She felt a little uncomfortable. Two young boys could get gold leaves. How come she, the mother-in-law, didn't get anything?
These shoes look good and are made of satin, but no matter how exquisite they are, they are just a pair of shoes. There is no gold leaf worth...
How could Mrs. Cheng not understand her little thought? She said softly: "It's getting late, get ready for breakfast. Boss and wife, go to the kitchen and bring all the food."
Situ Man brought in a woman who was good at cooking. The woman cooked the breakfast, and Mrs. Cheng was responsible for taking care of it.
The family gathered around the table to have breakfast. At the dinner table, Mrs. Cheng said a few sarcastic words, but Cheng Zhao calmly blocked them back, speaking very protectively of his wife.
Situ Man felt that it was sweet. The mothers-in-law of wealthy families in the capital had to set rules. The newlywed daughter-in-law had to serve the dishes behind her mother-in-law, and she could sit at the dining table with her husband to eat. If her mother-in-law said something that made her uncomfortable, her husband would also Will protect her, she must not have married the wrong person.
After the meal, the servants of the Situ family took the initiative to clean up the mess, and Mrs. Cheng was very satisfied.
She sat on the main seat and said quietly: "There are too many flowers and plants in this yard. Later, everyone will help us pull out the flowers and plants, and cut down this tree..."
Situ Man couldn't hold it back and asked curiously: "Why?"
Although there are not precious flowers and plants in this yard, they are growing very well and it makes me happy to look at them. This big tree has lush branches and leaves. It would be a pity to cut it down.
"We are all country people, and we are used to growing vegetables, so we don't have to go to the streets and spend wasted money." Old Mrs. Cheng replied, "Pure this land and grow some cabbage, radish, eggplant, and onions, ginger, and garlic here. Just pinch it when you want to eat, it’s so convenient.”
Situ Man asked again: "But this tree does not grow in the soil, why should it be cut down?"
"This tree is so big that half of the yard's light is blocked. Vegetables cannot grow well without the sun, and radishes cannot grow well without the sun." Mrs. Cheng took out the two packets of seeds in her hand and said, "I I have been looking for seeds in the city for a long time, but they are all useless seeds. I went to the countryside two days ago and met an old farmer, so I bought some reliable seeds. You will know when the radishes are ripe, for sure. It tastes better than what you Situ family buys outside..."
Situ Man's eyes were full of shock: "I have never heard of these, grandma knows so much..."
The Situ family's mother-in-law, who was standing by the side, said: "..."
The young lady is too naive. Now is the time to praise Old Madam Cheng for her greatness. Isn't it time to stop Old Madam Cheng from destroying the scenery of the yard?
Although this scenery is not as beautiful as Situ Mansion, it is still a scenery. If vegetables are grown and the smell of farmyard manure is everywhere, how can people live there?
