Chapter 452 Jiujiu Ge
Erni had no choice but to retract her hand, wipe it with a handkerchief, and stare at the sesame candy with resentment.
Ying Bao just pretended not to see it and asked, "When is your due date?"
"Spring begins in early March." Erni touched her belly: "Xiao Shui said that he would ask for leave in advance and go back then."
Erni's husband-in-law, Wang Xiaoshui, was serving as the head of the county army's guard post, that is, he was working under Jiang Sanlang.
Although it is not a serious official position, he can basically move around in the county.
He also bought a house in the county with the support of his elder brother Wang Dashan.
It's just that his parents were reluctant to leave their hometown and still lived in Dongchen Village with his younger brothers and sisters. Erni also wanted to take care of her own mother, Leng Shi. Since she became pregnant, she also returned to Dongchen Village.
Because Ying Bao was coming back, she came all the way from her hometown.
Ying Bao felt her pulse and nodded: "You are strong, but you can't ride back and forth in a carriage."
Erni smiled and said, "It's nothing. My mother-in-law has laid five layers of mattresses in the carriage."
The two chatted for a while, then talked about Chen Zhao and Xu Bao.
Now Xu Bao is thirteen years old and has been studying in the village school, and the school recruited an old scholar to teach, taking over Li Xu's job.
"That Xu Bao has been living with his second sister, and he also helps his second sister take care of her children after school. Didn't you know that Chen has admitted a daughter who is almost three years old?"
Erni talked non-stop as soon as they started chatting, telling Yingbao everything about Dongchen Village: "Chen Zhao's husband is pretty good and honest. He sells tofu in the market. Her mother-in-law is so good that she comes here from time to time. When I ask for money from my son and daughter-in-law, I always get into trouble."
"Also, Master Zhang Meng went to Yuzhou, and Chu Chu took her son and daughter with him. It is said that Master Zhang Meng was recruited by Chu Yan to join the army and became the commander-in-chief of the army. Chu Chu's younger brother Chu Qing also went with him. I probably won’t come back again.”
This Ying Bao knew that the imperial court had deployed troops on all sides, led by Chu Yan, Zhou Fu, and two other generals. Chu Yan picked up his sister and brother-in-law to give them support.
She suddenly remembered that Sister Wen Shu had been sent elsewhere with Li Xuwai. She wondered if Mrs. Wen and his wife were with them?
At this time, the second uncle Yanru came in with her little son in her arms and placed him next to Wu Yao: "Play well with your brother, but don't go out to pick up firecrackers, or you may blow up your hands."
The little ginger leopard is fair and fair, with picturesque features and eyes, as beautiful as a little girl.
He blinked and looked at Ying Bao, then at the drooling Wu Ya, and picked up the handkerchief his mother gave him and helped Wu Ya wipe it.
Erni smiled and said: "Look, he loves being clean the most, and he doesn't look like a country boy at all. When Huzi was a child, he wanted to lie down and roll on the ground. Little Leopard has been like a beautiful woman since he was a child, and he would not support himself with his hands even when he fell. , I bruised my face every time, and now there are still marks on my face."
Ying Bao took a closer look and saw that there were small calluses on Jiang Bao's nose and cheeks.
"Don't believe her nonsense, Bao'er is standing on the bench and jumping down." Yan Ru glared at Er Ni angrily: "He will tease your brother."
Erni covered her mouth and laughed.
Jiang Bao passed by him and dropped the kang in disgust, then spoke to him: "What's your name?"
Wu Ya blinked at his little brother and put his hand into his mouth unconsciously.
Jiang Bao took off his little hand and said seriously: "You can't eat your hand, there are bugs in it."
He said "It's okay", waved his little hand, and continued to stuff his mouth.
Jiang Bao curled his lips and said with a look of disgust: "You are so sloppy!"
Wu Yao took out his hand and slapped Jiang Bao on the shoulder, almost hitting him in the face.
Jiang Bao got angry and pushed Wu Yao down.
An Rou, who had been watching, was a little nervous. Just as she was about to come over to hug him, Ying Bao stopped her: "Children are playing among themselves, so don't interfere too much."
She didn't want Wu Wei to develop a pampered temperament.
An Rou had no choice but to step back and look at the two children.
He didn't cry even after being pushed down. He turned over and sat up again, looking at Jiang Bao as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, Jiang Bao was a little stunned, but seeing that neither his sister nor his mother-in-law said anything about him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said sincerely to Wu Yao: "I'm sorry, I'm the elder brother, I shouldn't push you."
Wu Ya blinked his eyes and suddenly called out: "Brother!"
"Hey." Jiang Bao was very happy and leaned over and said, "Brother, let me teach you how to count ninety-nine."
Then he clapped his little hands and sang: "One thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine, I can't make a move when I call you;
Three-nine-twenty-seven, the fence is blowing;
Forty-nine and thirty-six, sleeping at night is like sleeping in the open;
May 945, every family piles salt tiger
Sixty-nine fifty-four, warmth comes out of the mouth;
Seventy-nine and sixty-three, pedestrians put on their clothes;
Eighty-nine and seventy-two, cats and dogs seek the underworld;
Nine-nine-eighty-one, when the poor man has suffered enough, he has to sleep with his legs stretched out, overflowing with mosquitoes, fleas, and fleas! "
Wu Yao looked confused, but that didn't stop him from clapping his hands like Jiang Bao and mumbling happily.
Seeing this, An Rou finally felt relieved.
After eating in Plum Blossom Alley, Ying Bao and Wei Zhan said goodbye and returned to the specialty shop.
Wu Hao was held in An Rou's arms. As soon as he walked out of the yard, he suddenly burst into tears and pointed at Jiang Bao with his little finger.
Ying Bao coaxed: "How about we come back next time?"
Wu Hao shook his head like a rattle and called his brother repeatedly.
Yan Ru smiled and said, "How about you go home with your brother?"
Wu Ya nodded repeatedly.
"Oh, this child understands words." Yan Ru exclaimed: "Is he one year old yet?"
Yingbao: "Just turned one year old." Actually, no, he should be fine for about eleven months.
Seeing that Wu Yao was trying his best to reach out to Yan Ru, she had no choice but to say to the second uncle: "Why don't you and Jiang Bao go play with me? Anyway, we have to go to my aunt's place tomorrow, so we just happen to be together."
Yan Ru nodded: "That's okay. I'll call my little sister over."
After a while, Jiang Xiaomei came, followed by Jiang Shan, the daughter of Jiang Cheng's family.
The children crowded into Ying Bao's carriage. They were so happy that they were safe and tried their best to throw themselves between Jiang Bao and Jiang Xiaomei.
Yingbao couldn't resist, so she had to stuff him among the children.
When she got home, Yingbao simply put the children on a kang to play, and she lay next to them to rest.
Jiang Xiaomei is only six or seven years old this year, and she is very good at coaxing children. After a while, Jiang Bao and Jiang Shan, who were both healthy, were put to sleep, and she herself fell asleep next to them.
An Rou covered the children with quilts and put a quilt on the princess.
They slept until dusk before getting up. Mudan and Anrou washed and fed the children.
Wu Yao was very happy. He held Jiang Bao with one hand and Jiang Shan with the other, muttering something in his mouth.
Chun Niang and Yan Ru walked in. Seeing the children playing harmoniously, they stopped paying attention and told Ying Bao about going to their aunt's house.
"Let's go to your aunt's house tomorrow. Don't take the children with you." Chun Niang said: "Zhang Yukun's family also has several children. If there is a fuss, it will not end well."
Ying Bao: "I didn't want to take them there at all. I originally planned to let An Rou and Xinghua watch at home."
"That's good. Bao'er, you don't know that Zhang Yukun not only moved his family to your aunt's house, but also brought his concubine and her daughter with him. Alas, I don't know what he thought." Chun Niang said angrily: "Your aunt also took it with her. They can't help it." (End of Chapter)
