Chapter 16: Brother Eighty Soldier 16

Jiang Rui and Zhao Nan only had lunch at Du's house before returning.
The lunch was not very pleasant.
Not long after Xiaoshan Haw slept, he woke up and started crying again. Zhang Xiaohua went back to the house to coax her, but he did not coax her well. The child kept crying, which made people uneasy. Du Baoqiang followed up. I don't know what was said, the two suddenly quarreled.
Jiang Rui was going to persuade him to fight, but Wang Tonghua stopped her. She said, "You are a guest now. Sit down and eat. I will go and see."
This is the married girl, she is a guest when she returns to her mother's house, but she is not her own in her husband's house.
Later, Zhang Xiaohua and Du Baoqiang were persuaded, but the scene was still a little stiff. Wang Tonghua probably felt that it was not good to be jokes by the new son-in-law, and soon she quietly told Jiang Rui that she and Zhao Nan would go back first and come back next time.
After the two of them left, the atmosphere in the Du family became even more somber.
Zhang Xiaohua hugged the small hawthorn and shook it slightly, but his eyes stared at Du Baoqiang bitterly. Du Baoqiang sat down by the door.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Du Baozhen dared not speak more, and quietly touched back to the room.
Wang Tonghua stood by the table with a calm face.
"Mom, I will take the child back to my natal house for a few days." Zhang Xiaohua said suddenly.
Wang Tonghua frowned: "The baby is still sick, so let's go after the illness recovers."
"Don't dare to raise it," Zhang Xiaohua said in his voice, "It's only been a day since I was sick. Some people think that our mother and daughter are annoying, and think we are getting in the way, so it's better to leave early!"
"I didn't mean that." Du Baoqiang muttered.
"Then what do you mean?! The child is crying, you are motionless, sitting there as if eating a weight, with a face running to ask me why I keep the child crying? Why is she crying? You don't know why she slept at home yesterday , I went up the hill to dig rabbit grass, if someone is watching, don’t let her kick the quilt, she can catch a cold? The child is not my child, why should I take it alone? Since you don’t care about anything, the child is sick At the time, what qualifications do you have to take my fault! I tell you Du Baoqiang, this matter is endless!"
Her voice was a little high, awakened the child and started crying again.
Zhang Xiaohua coaxed twice, wiped out his tears, and slammed the door when he returned to the room.
Wang Tonghua rubbed her forehead, only feeling the pain in her brain, she sighed and said to Du Baoqiang: "She is angry now, just listen to what she says, don't choke with her. In the afternoon, I will help you to watch, and she will not let her really Go back to Zhang's house, go up the mountain to dig some grass to feed the rabbits, and come back at night to say something nice. The child is sick, and being a mother is more anxious and distressed than you. If you can't get it right, just say a few words."
It's still the beginning of the first month. If you let your daughter-in-law carry the sick granddaughter back to your natal home, what do people have to say about their home?
Du Bao was bored and went out without saying a word.
Wang Tonghua looked at the uncleaned bowls and chopsticks on the table in front of him, and then looked around. Du Youfu was repairing a in the yard. The quarrel just now seemed to be in his ears. Zhang Xiaohua's door was closed tightly, and he could still hear the child crying. The door of Du Baozhen's room was also closed. She seemed to be the only one left in the family. She subconsciously wanted to call Du Baoqin for help. When a word came to her lips, she remembered that the eldest daughter was married.
She stood in a daze for a while, suddenly felt a little dizzy, and slowly sat down on the table, and sighed after a long time.
Back at Zhao's house, Zhang Liyun was a little surprised to see the two of them coming back so soon, but she didn't ask much.
"It's a rare sunny day today. Your sister-in-law said to boil water to wash her hair and take a bath. Would you like to wash it together?"
"Okay, I'll go to boil water when I change my clothes." Jiang Rui said.
When Li Xiaoe heard it in the stove, she said, "I'm burning it, it's almost done, so my younger siblings can just use the bucket to lift water."
Jiang Rui went back to the room and changed his clothes. "Sister-in-law and Xiaobo will wash first. I think he is already sitting on the bench and waiting."
Li Xiaoe looked out from behind the stove and saw Zhao Xiaobo taking off his pants and walking the birds under the big sun. He was angry and funny, "This stinky boy!"
She didn't give any more, let Jiang Rui take over the job of boiling the water, and took a wooden bucket and carried it to the courtyard.
Zhao Nan brought in two buckets of cold water from outside and poured it into the big pot.
"Are you not full at noon?" Jiang Rui asked him in a low voice.
Zhao Nan shook his head, "I'm full."
"Liar." Jiang Rui cracked him down, "You can eat three bowls of dry rice at home. I only ate two bowls at noon and I haven't filled it up yet. Go to the yard to get some sweet potatoes and taro. I will bury you in the fire. In the pile, it will be cured soon. By the way, take a few more and eat them in small waves later."
Zhao Nan went out again to get some sweet potato taro, Jiang Rui asked him to sit next to him, and the two of them surrounded the stove to make a fire.
"I was not scared today? Actually, my sister-in-law is quite nice. It was because the child was sick in the past two days that she was anxious and quarreled with my brother."
"It's okay." Zhao Nan said.
Jiang Rui played with his palm, scratching the palm of his hand for a while. Sometimes Zhao Nan suddenly closed his palm and grabbed her fingers, but sometimes she slipped away. To catch, one to run, see who is more sensitive than others. This kind of childish game is considered naive, and the two people met for a long time.
Zhang Liyun passed by the kitchen door several times, and saw that they were playing with each other completely. She shook her head in her heart: Don't be foolish of the second son to the daughter-in-law.
When the water was boiled, Zhao Nan helped bring it back to the house.
In winter, it’s not easy for people in rural areas to take a bath. One is to boil water and firewood. Second, it is cold and shivering when wearing clothes. It takes courage to take a bath without taking it off. Normally, they wait until a sunny day, boil a few large pots of hot water, and the whole family line up to wash. There are those who don't like to be clean, and can't take a few baths throughout the winter.
Jiang Rui has aura all over his body, which can keep the dust out and is much cleaner than ordinary people. Even so, she still wiped her whole body with water every day, taking a big bath for three or four days. In this way, Wang Tonghua said at first that she burned firewood indiscriminately.
She finished washing, put on clean clothes, and went out to ask Zhao Nan to come and carry the tub out, but she saw that Zhao Nan was also taking a bath, just like Zhao Xiaobo, washing under the sun, but Zhao Xiaobo was naked. Yes, he wore a pair of pants anyhow.
Zhao Nan was flushing on her body, but when she saw her coming out of the house, the scoop almost fell to the ground, caught it in a hurry, and turned her back.
"What are you hiding from?" Zhang Liyun yelled at him when he saw that he almost broke the water scoop into eight petals. "It's not a girl of Huanghua, where can't you watch it? Your mother, I think you have seen the big girl since you were young. Huh?"
"Mom, the second brother is hiding from his younger siblings. The young couple have tender faces." Li Xiaoe was about to go to the water to wash clothes, and said with a smile.
"You still have a tender face, and how tender is his wife? I think the old cucumber is painted with green paint, pretending to be tender!"
One sentence made Jiang Rui and Li Xiaoe giggle.
