56. Returning to Mother's Home 2
"How patriotic has treated you all these years, you don't know it in your heart? Then Xia Yuan is also good, although it is a second marriage with a child, but inside... Anyway, we can't stand patriotism, we like it, we want to We can't talk too much. And when it comes to the truth, the condition of patriotism is not much better. I think Xia Yuan is very good. I don't allow you to gossip like others."
To the second daughter The temper has been restrained, and Er Auntie Lu is still very satisfied, but her daughter knows it herself. She is not worried about the eldest daughter causing trouble, but she has no confidence in the second daughter. So this is not so much for everyone to hear, but it is actually beating the second daughter.
"Mom, aren't you just worried that I will give Xia Yuan a face and tell Xia Yuan to step down from the stage? You can rest assured that I won't do that, I still know the importance."
Lu Aimei still resented the old lady's partiality, but anyway I know that my mother is also doing it for my own good. And although the old lady is a little biased, she is already very good to her daughter compared to most people.
In all fairness, she also has children and daughters now, and she can't guarantee that she can really have a bowl of water. In the future, she has to rely on her son, and it is normal for her to value her son more. So I can understand the old lady's mind. No wonder it is said that raising children knows the kindness of their parents.
"You, you are finally able to be sensible." Ernie Lu tapped her second daughter's forehead, and then took out the milk powder and milk bottle to show their sisters.
"Xia Yuan reminded the patriotic trustee to get these. This milk powder is more expensive than malted milk essence. You know that malted milk essence is not easy to get, right? Let's just talk about this milk bottle, which is comparable to milk powder. It's still a baby. It won't be easy to get a second one."
Aunt Lu looked at her second daughter's moving expression, and then said, "You can be careful with this, this bottle is glass, so it won't be damaged if it breaks . The second one, I also pointed out that your sister-in-law will use it in the future after giving birth to the baby. But the milk powder Aiguo and Xia Yuan both said that you don't need to drink it for your child, and they will send it to you after drinking it. I've found a new way, and it's more convenient than others."
"Mom, what's the way to be patriotic? Why haven't I heard him say it before? Also, how do you say it's sent by mail? When the time comes, if you have a direct entruster to send a message, why don't I just pick it up by myself?" Lu Aimei Holding the bottle over and over again, the more I looked, the more happy I became. Lu Aijiao also leaned over to take a few glances, feeling very strange.
"You guys must be careful not to fall."
Er Auntie Lu didn't answer Lu Aimei in a hurry, seeing Lu Aimei and sister Lu Aijiao turning the bottle over and over, for fear that she would lose her hand.
"This is a lot more tricky to use. Yesterday, Xiaoyun learned it from me. What can't be soaked in hot boiling water directly, you should use warm water. How much water and how much milk powder should be put in the water first and then the milk powder.. ..."
Er Auntie Lu shook her head in distress, "Oh, I'm getting old, I can't remember it. When Xia Yuan comes back from the village in the afternoon, I'll tell you, you can learn it yourself. I'm thinking of getting this bottle. It's a cotton cover, don't drop it."
"Why can't you use the boiled blisters?" Lu Aijiao and Lu Aimei both wondered.
"It seems to be what it is? Oh, I can't remember it clearly. Anyway, you can ask Xia Yuan when the time comes." Er Auntie Lu shook her head after thinking for a long time.
"In the future, your big treasure and Xiaobao will not worry about not being able to eat enough. Your mother's brother specially made things for your nephew, and the elder sister-in-law of your in-law's family can no longer be picky, saying that Dabao and Xiaobao eat alone. Xiaoyun said, this It's specially for one-year-old children, and it doesn't work for the older ones."
"Look, even if the older kids eat it, the two big ones will come over eagerly and want to share it." Lu Aimei sneered. .
"Then you can't hide it yourself? This milk powder is patriotic, even if there is a way to get it, it will cost a lot of money. His money is not from the wind. Don't let it go for nothing. He can't afford it. Four children drink this milk powder. At most, I will ask Aiguo to get you two or three jars. What milk powder will I drink when the children can eat?"
Ernie Lu glared at her. However, she also knew the temper of this daughter, and what she didn't want to give people would definitely be able to hold. So don't worry at all.
"This milk powder is troublesome to soak. Don't bother your mother-in-law, and do it yourself."
"I know, I know." Although Lu Aimei was impatient, she agreed with her own mother's words in her heart, "Mom, Why don't I give Lu Aiguo some money?"
"Are you rich?"
Er Auntie Lu looked at her angrily, "Where did you get the money before you split up? If you have money, I won't stop you from giving it. I'm afraid that you can't afford to subsidize the patriotism, and you feel that you have lost the love of the patriotism and Xia Yuan."
"Mom, you have to say this, so you won't be afraid of my face? I'm not worried about Xia Yuan. Will there be disagreements behind their back to make their husband and wife discord? Why am I so unconscionable?"
Lu Aimei looked aggrievedly at Er Auntie Lu with a sad expression on her face, "Are you still my mother?"
"It's not my mother, then You still picked it up from outside, didn't you? Small and unscrupulous. Children are all debts, the old saying is true." Er Aunt Lu patted her lightly.
"Oh, I was wrong, Mom, you are my own mother, okay?"
Lu Aimei hurriedly hugged Er Auntie Lu's arm and acted like a spoiled child. She was pushed away by Er Auntie Lu with a look of "disgust", but her voice was pleasant when she spoke.
"Hurry up and don't bother me, there's still a lot of work. Hurry up and help with the work, lazy girl, see that your eldest sister and sister-in-law are more diligent than you. You said that the longer you are, the younger you are than Gifford. ."
Lu Aimei: "..."
Lu Aijiao laughed happily. Zhang Cai didn't have the embarrassment to laugh so arrogantly, so she turned her head and snickered.
These two are not interesting enough.
Lu Aimei immediately blushed in anger, and spat alone.
"Mom, you haven't said what way to be patriotic? Also, there are so many things today, are they also brought by patriotism?" Lu Aijiao hadn't forgotten what Lu Aimei asked earlier.
"No. Who else can I bring besides the patriotism?"
Speaking of Lu Er Auntie, he talked a lot about Lu Aiguo and Shitou's encounter with "noble people", and then he talked about Lu Aiguo and Shitou. The patriotic couple is going to open a shop in Haicheng.
"It's a pity that I took Xia Yuan and Xiaoyun to Haicheng after a few days of patriotism. I won't be able to stay at home for a few days. I won't see each other a few times throughout the year." Ernie Lu sighed.
"Can the state allow a private person to open a shop? Don't you be labelled a capitalist?" Lu Aijiao said hesitantly.
"That's right, how good it is to stay at home, why do you have to go to Haicheng? It's so far away, I don't know where I live, and how much does it cost to open a shop? Do they have the money?" Flashed reluctance.
"Don't worry about this. I asked your dad and he said it's not a few years ago. The problem is no problem." Ernie Lu shook her head, "Or I'll have to stop it."
57. Earn money
"It's a pity that our sisters don't have any money, or we have to support them a little bit." Lu Aijiao couldn't help but sigh, she didn't split up the family, the mother-in-law managed all the money in the family, just like her, even though she had money in her hands A little bit, but it's only five or six dollars. The second sister shouldn't be too different. It won't exceed ten dollars. What's the use of it at a critical time?
"I don't need you, there's another stone to go with. They said to do it for a while first. That doesn't require a lot of capital." Ernie Lu didn't want to say more on this topic, so she took the two sisters to see Lu Patriotism gives them something to bring back.
"These were brought by Aiguo and Xia Yuan and asked you to take them back. Everything is rare, especially the oil, which looks so clear. And this canned meat, it tastes good, but you can't put more. It will go bad in a few days, so hurry up and eat it when you go back."
"The patriotism is also to give you face support, I am afraid that you will not have a good life in your in-law's house. Where can you find such a good brother?" Aunt Lu habitually praised Lu Aiguo again. This is also a habit she has formed over the years. But this time, Lu Aimei no longer felt harsh in her ears, but felt sour in her heart, and she felt a sense of distress towards her mother.
Lu Aiguo is going to Haicheng, probably the old lady is more reluctant than anyone else, right? But she was probably more reluctant to block Lu Aiguo's future.
Poor parents in the world. Will she be so conflicted and tangled about her own children in the future?
--
Xia Yuan was still dizzy until she got on the mule cart on the return journey, feeling that she still had a dream that she had not woken up from.
Today, she actually brought her daughter to sell something. Thinking of the piles of change coupons, food coupons, cloth coupons, and several industrial rolls in her daughter's large warehouse made her heart beat faster.
At first, when her daughter proposed to sell something, she was afraid, but her daughter dragged her to West Street. She was still in a daze, and her daughter aimed at an old lady who was shopping, and after a few words, she got involved with others. Then she found a secluded corner, and under the cover of her back basket, she paid with one hand and delivered with the other.
The beginning of everything is difficult. With a good beginning, she feels that it is not difficult to do business at all, so she gradually let go. Some of those who buy things also introduce each other, and they secretly follow people asked. Even more than 20 deals have been made.
Especially the peanut oil, she used a measuring cup and sold it loosely. The result turned out to be unexpectedly good for her. For those with food stamps, she raised the price three times higher than that of the supply and marketing cooperative. Without food stamps, she doubled it directly. What surprised her was that those people only heard that they were in stock and bought them without even hesitating, let alone bargaining. She also looked impatient, afraid that she would not sell it.
The daughter said that her large warehouse has peanut oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, olive oil... everything, and there is no worry that everything will be sold out. And what surprised her even more was that her daughter also mentioned that there is a machine for oil extraction in her large warehouse. Peanuts, soybeans, and more raw materials can be piled up into mountains.
In addition to the oil-pressing machine, there are also machines in the daughter's warehouse that can process various types of noodles. The daughter said that those machines can be operated by solar energy - in the daughter's words, those things can be used as long as they are in the sun.
...
No wonder Lu Aiguo kept telling her that doing business is not difficult, just a little harder. Xia Yuan took a deep breath, as long as she could make money, why would she be afraid of working hard?
At that time, even if only the oil extraction and noodle making machines in the daughter's large warehouse will be at the bottom. In addition, what Lu Aiguo said, you can go to the factory to find the source of goods. At worst, you can go to the villages around Haicheng to find some mountain goods and rice noodles. Anyway, as long as they are willing to do it, why not have a good life?
The more Xia Yuan thought about it, the more excited she became, and her whole body's blood was boiling. This kind of emotion is hotter and stronger than just listening to Lu Aiguo.
At about 4:30, the mule car carried everyone back to the village smoothly.
As soon as she got home, Xia Yuan couldn't wait to pull Lu Yun into the house to order money. After repeating the order several times, Xia Yuan believed that she and her daughter had earned a full 232 yuan and 80 cents in one day. In addition, there were more than ten catties of food stamps, five or six feet of cloth stamps, and seven industrial rolls.
"How could there be so many?" Xia Yuan murmured.
"Why is that impossible? Together, we sold several kilograms of oil. Plus there are a lot of dried noodles, rice, and dried noodles. I can't remember how much I went out?
Lu Yun sat in a chair and kicked her legs to watch . laughed at her Mom.
In fact, she also felt that she and her mother were selling at a loss. Although the price of food is cheap these days, especially the price of food is really not expensive, but most of them are limited supply.
Especially the shortage of cooking oil, and There are rice and noodles that are all refined grains, and the amount they sell is not small at all. Moreover, their asking prices are still low, and you can see that those who ask the price have not countered.
It seems that they are selling things like this It is enough for my mother to experience it once or twice. The main thing is to have father and stone to go out. I believe that if they are replaced today, they can bring back more money and various tickets for the same goods.
"Mom, let's Don't you want to go to the second grandpa's house? The eldest aunt and the second aunt's family are back today. Seeing that her mother was still in a daze, Lu Yun quickly reminded her.
"That's right." We have to hurry over, and I also promised Er Auntie to help with cooking. Don't your dad and stone know when they'll be back? Xia Yuan collected the money and hurriedly pulled Lu Yun to go out.
Lu Yun took out a box of chocolates, opened them, put one directly into Xia Yuan's mouth, and then ate one herself, "Mom, this chocolate is good." Do you want to eat? "
"Delicious, so sweet." Why does it seem to have a bitter taste, and it melts away before biting it in the mouth? Xia Yuan tasted the taste of the chocolate in her mouth, and couldn't help but pick one up and put it in her mouth. The more she ate it, the more delicious it became. Lu Yun couldn't help but be greedy. She stopped after dropping a whole box of chocolates. She took out two bottles of mineral water, and the two drank it and rinsed their mouths.
Xia Yuan couldn't help but recall, "It's really delicious, I feel like the more I eat, the more I want to eat it. . "
"There's still a lot. Mom can eat whenever she wants. Mom, we'll bring two boxes to Grandpa Er's house in a while, and one box for your aunt's younger brother to take home to eat, and one box for everyone to open and eat. Like?" Lu Yun thought that the second aunt's baby had milk powder, but she forgot the eldest aunt's baby. I don't know if the aunt will feel uncomfortable.
Since the second grandfather might be a "pro-grandfather", then she has to help her mother to think more carefully, and the eldest sister-in-law should try her best to maintain a good relationship, so don't offend her.
"The younger brother and sister of the second aunt's family have milk powder to drink, but the younger brother of the eldest aunt's family can't have nothing." Lu Yun said old-fashionedly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Really, what are you talking about? You're a big kid." Xia Yuan realized that she was negligent after thinking about it.
Although Lu Aijiao might not really take it to heart, the psychology of being a mother is actually easy to guess. It's okay to be ignored by others, but it's always very uncomfortable if your child is ignored. So my daughter's proposal came very timely.
58. Ironing Posts
"Bring the grapes again, I almost forgot them again. I didn't take the grapes from Grandpa's house either." Lu Yun then reminded.
"I remember, your grandfather told your father to run again at night. Why are you so long-winded? It's a little worry." Xia Yuan rubbed her daughter's little head and said so, but the corners of her mouth were curved . Why does she think her daughter's temper is more similar to Lu Aiguo? That worried look is simply out of a mold.
Are you really being too long-winded? Lu Yun reflected in her heart and smiled at Xia Yuan Hao Ran.
Crossing a basket, Xia Yuan took Lu Yun's hand and walked towards Lu Erbo's house. The basket was full of grapes that had just been picked. The grapes were neither planted by Uncle Lu nor Erbo Lu. In fact, it was not only them that did not, but the entire elm tree. This is the only one in the village.
This plant in Lu Aiguo's yard has been around for three or four years. It was there long before the house was renovated. Seeing that it could bear fruit, he was not willing to shovel it out.
Soon after arriving at Lu Erbo's house, the courtyard door was open. Xia Yuan didn't call anyone, and directly led Lu Yun to the kitchen. When she reached the door, she looked inside and sure enough Er Auntie and Zhang Cai were there.
There were also two young women and a little boy who was three or four years old. Don't ask, they were probably sisters Lu Aijiao and Lu Aimei. That boy was probably Lu Aijiao's son Xie Jifu.
Seeing Xie Jifu sitting obediently in the corner, he was holding a piece of cloud cake the size of a child's palm, licking it carefully like a kitten. Both Xia Yuan and Lu Yun felt very happy.
"Second Aunt".
"Second grandmother, fourth uncle." The mother-daughter duo called out to each other.
"Xia Yuan and Xiao Yun are here, hurry up and talk about you." Er Auntie Lu looked up to see Xia Yuan and Lu Yun, and quickly put down the lid to welcome them out. The others also stopped their movements and walked over. Even Xie Jifu suddenly flashed his big eyes, looking at Xia Yuan and then Lu Yun with a curious expression.
"This is the third aunt and the second cousin. The delicious meat you ate for lunch was brought by the third uncle and third aunt, call someone quickly." Lu Aijiao pointed at Xia Yuan and smiled at Xie Jifu.
At noon, there was pork with plums and vegetables on the table. The taste was delicious, and the meat was so rotten that it melted when bitten, so the little guy couldn't even swallow his tongue. He ate four pieces of that meat alone, and if he hadn't stopped it, he might have eaten three pieces.
Xie Jifu got up and hid behind his mother with shining eyes, sticking out his head, shy and shy on his face, and after a while, he showed a big smile and his voice was clear, "Third aunt, second cousin. Eat."
Lu Yun suddenly laughed, this person, it turns out that he was so interesting when he was a child?
"Jifu is so good. Eat delicious meat and meat while you're eating, will the third aunt give you some chocolate later?" Xia Yuanxin was instantly adorable.
As a result, she did not expect that just after her voice fell, Xie Jifu shoved all the cloud cakes in his hand into his mouth, and then rushed over quickly and hugged her thigh, drooling, with a tired voice that did not pay for his life. She acted coquettishly at her, "Third aunt, I want to eat chocolate."
Although I don't know what chocolate is? But what an aunt who has delicious meat and meat brings out must be delicious.
The young Xie Jifu has since identified the smiling and beautiful third aunt in front of her wholeheartedly. Later, she has completely transformed into a "true fan" who becomes her fanatical follower when she meets him -- of course, that's a story later. .
"Hahaha." At this moment, everyone laughed at his greedy appearance.
Snacks.
Lu Yun secretly rolled her eyes, a cow is a cow, and a bj is still a cow, and the same goes for foodies. This guy was a foodie in his last life, and eventually he became a famous food critic in a well-known food magazine. Have you shown such a foodie attribute at such a young age?
Xia Yuan held back her laughter, and quickly lifted the cloth covering the basket she brought, revealing two boxes of chocolates in foreign languages on top of the full grapes.
Putting down the basket, Xia Yuan squatted down, first handed Xie Jifu a box of chocolates to hold, then took apart the other box and put one in his mouth and said to him, "Is it delicious?
" !"
Xie Jifu nodded quickly with a small mouth. Then he continued to stare at Xia Yuan with sparkling eyes, holding the box of chocolates even tighter in his hand.
"You divide this box into one for each person, and then take the rest of the box and the one that hasn't been opened, take it home and eat it slowly, don't eat too much at one time, okay?" Xia Yuan put the chocolate in her hand to Handed it in front of him. There are thirty-six pieces in a box of this chocolate, so don't worry about not getting enough points.
"Okay. Thank you third aunt." Xie Jifu wanted to take over the opened box of chocolates, but found that he couldn't take two boxes, so he tilted his head to think about it, ran back to Lu Aijiao first, and took the complete box. Hand it to her. Then he went back to pick up the unpacked box of chocolates. He grabbed one and stuffed it directly into Xia Yuan's mouth, and began to distribute it one by one.
He is very serious, everyone has a share, and Lu Yun is no exception. However, Lu Yun disliked his little hand full of saliva and chocolate, so she shook her head and refused to eat it. Xie Jifu didn't mind either, he shoved the chocolate into his mouth and smiled brightly at Lu Yun.
He didn't think that the young lady in front of him "disliked" him, he just thought she was letting him eat, so his goodwill towards Lu Yun doubled all of a sudden.
"Jifu, go to the main room and give this to your grandfather and fourth uncle and the others. Don't eat the rest, or you won't be able to eat dinner at night." Lu Aijiao smiled and asked him after seeing her son's share. .
Seeing her son nodded and ran out, she turned around and said to Xia Yuan angrily, "Third brother and sister, you really are, it's fine to keep this thing for Xiaoyun, why bring it? It's not easy to come by foreign words, right? "
Sister, Lu Aiguo brought back three boxes. There is still one box at home. But Xiaoyun doesn't seem to like this very much." Xia Yuan glanced at her daughter and accurately called out the identity of the person who was talking to her in front of her. .
By the way, I just refused to eat the chocolate filling in Xie Jifu's hand for my daughter. Others don't know that she is very clear, and my daughter really dislikes it. Therefore, at this time, she lied to Lu Aijiao seriously.
There were only a few people in the kitchen. Although they had never met before, it was not difficult to identify the two sisters through Xie Jifu.
Lu Aijiao and the others thought she was being polite. They all ate chocolate, so how could children not like to eat such delicious food? Looking at the chocolate, you can tell that it is a rare thing. For Xia Yuan, you can get two boxes with only three boxes. She also assigned most of them to Xie Jifu. This younger brother and sister valued her son so much, Lu Aijiao was really hot in her heart. Her eyes were even more grateful.
59. Go home and Have a Look
"Xia Yuan is a generous person like Aiguo. But after getting married, you still have to take care of your own family in the future. You also have to persuade patriotism." Ernie Lu came over and patted Xia Yuan's hand. He took her and gave a solemn introduction to both parties.
"This is your eldest sister and second sister, this is Xia Yuan and Xiaoyun. You should recognize each other, so that the family won't recognize each other when you meet outside."
"Xia Yuan, I have to thank you and Aiguo for giving our family Dabaohehe. The milk powder and milk bottle that Xiaobao brought. Thanks to you guys, now I don't have to worry about their hunger." Lu Aimei took Xia Yuan's hand, and the gratitude on her face was very sincere.
"Second sister, don't say that, it's too foreign. In fact, Lu Aiguo was thinking about Dabao and Xiaobao, and he brought the things back. I didn't do anything." Xia Yuan smiled embarrassedly and put all the credit to the On Lu Aiguo.
"Don't be humble, if you didn't remind Lu Aiguo by your side, how could he be so careful? Anyway, I'll take care of you. This is a little idea of Xie Changgen and I. You can take it. Don't push it, my eldest sister and I were at Zhang Cai's time. You are all the same."
Lu Aimei shoved a red paper bag into Xia Yuan's hand, said with a smile, and then touched Lu Yun's little face and invited casually, "Xiaoyun, you have free time next time. Follow your parents to play at Er Gu's house. Er Gu will also cook something delicious for you when the time comes."
"Okay Er Gu." Lu Yun did not reject Lu Aimei's friendliness, and nodded very obediently.
Xia Yuan was a bit at a loss with the red paper bag, and Lu Aijiao's red paper bag was also stuffed. She saw that Xia Yuan was embarrassed and joked.
"This is a little idea from Xie Jiang and I. Hurry up and put it away. Don't you just look down on us."
"You can take it with confidence. This is the greeting gift that their sisters should give. When Aibing and Zhang Cai got married, there were also "Er Aunt Lu also persuaded with a smile. Zhang Cai nodded and smiled.
Xia Yuan did not continue to shirk, and put the red paper bag into her pocket generously, "Then on behalf of Lu Aiguo, I will thank the eldest sister and the second sister together."
"Hehe, what is the family thanking? Xia Yuan, Mom said that using that bottle to make milk powder is a lot of attention, you can tell me." Lu Aimei pulled Xia Yuan to the side to talk.
Aunt Lu laughed, "Xia Yuan, it's too complicated for me to explain to her, so you can teach her well. It's enough for me to make dinner with your elder sister and Zhang Cai. It's almost the same. "
Okay, Er Auntie." Xia Yuan nodded in response. Lu Yun also followed.
Xia Yuan asked Lu Aimei to bring a baby bottle and a can of milk powder over, and carefully poured Lu Aimei what she had just learned last night. Lu Yun was watching and helping to replenish. Lu Aimei listened very carefully and seriously.
"Sure enough, it's a lot of attention. But why can't the milk powder be soaked in hot water instead of warm water, can it be soaked in that way?" Lu Aimei asked the question that had been hidden for a long time.
"Actually, I don't know very well. It is said that this milk powder is specially for babies. If the blisters are too hot, the nutrients will be lost. It should not be soaked. You can tighten the bottle and shake it more. Alright." Xia Yuan also looked at Lu Aimei with a bewildered face, not knowing how to explain it. Luckily, Lu Aimei didn't take it too seriously, she nodded her head to reveal the problem.
At half past five, the sky was still bright, and Lu Aiguo and Shishi came over, and it seemed that they had gone back to take a bath.
When they got to the main room, Xia Yuan and Lu Yun were dragged to formally get to know the two hairy-footed sons-in-law of the Lu family.
The dinner was very lively, and the dishes were unusually rich and plentiful. The seven dishes and one soup were better than the Chinese New Year.
The large plate of braised pork and pork trotters are all ready-made, that is, they are steamed in a pot. In addition, there are also fried pork ribs, fried bacon with bacon, stewed tofu with loach, a large bowl of steamed eggs, cold water spinach, and a large pot of hot and sour soup.
It's just that there are so many people that one table can't sit, and in the end, only two tables can be divided. Men sit together for drinks, and women and children crowd together on makeshift tables. It was supposed to move another woman or two to the man's table, so that the other table would be more spacious. It's a pity that no one wants to go, and they all think that their drinking tastes bad.
Even the two children are reluctant to go there, preferring to squeeze here.
Fortunately, the main room is big enough to fit two tables.
The dishes on both tables are the same, and there is no rule that one side has more dishes and one side has fewer dishes. On the contrary, because there are more people on the women's side, the weight is more abundant.
In fact, this aspect of the Lu family has always been different from that of other families. From the generation of Lu Aiguo's grandfather, there was no discrimination against women and no rules for women not to be served when they lived behind closed doors at home. In the Lu family, the status of women has always been very high. At least Lu Erbo has been thoroughly implementing this point.
"There are more people in the family. When you have free time, you should open a large table. Otherwise, it would be boring to sit at two tables like this in the new year, and it would not be lively enough."
Lu Erbo drank the Maotai brought by Lu Aiguo and his wife . Glancing at the woman's table, seeing how lively they were crowded together, I suddenly felt that there were only five people at the table, and I felt unhappy.
It's better to eat in a crowd, and then it's fun and interesting when you and I are sandwiched between chopsticks.
"Okay, in two days, I'll take my soldiers and stones to find wood and come back. Let's just make a bigger one. From now on, every year when my sister and brother-in-law come back, and Xia Yuan and I come back for the New Year, we'll come to the second uncle to join us. Sit down too."
Lu Aiguo also followed Lu Erbo's line of sight, and agreed with a very understanding mouth. It's not that hard to be a desktop. Thinking back to the Lu family's third-bedroom wedding, the furniture was all made by their cousins. It wouldn't be very good, but at least it could be seen.
"Have you decided to come back every year for the Chinese New Year?"
Lu Erbo looked surprised, ignoring the topic on the table. Here, Ernie Lu also heard what Lu Aiguo said, and couldn't help but look at Xia Yuan inquiringly, and after getting Xia Yuan's nod, she was also very happy, "Okay, okay, don't stay at home when you come back, no matter how many days you stay. The fire started, and everyone came to eat at home."
"Well, the second uncle will be exhausted by then." Xia Yuan didn't take it seriously. At most, she would come over to join in the fun. No matter how cheeky she could eat Er uncle's family, she was not stupid. At this moment, I refuted, just nodded.
"This is the root, how could I not come back, I might not care about it at first, but I come back at least once or twice a year, and I'll take a look when it stabilizes, maybe I can come back a few more times, it's not too far away anyway. The train is only a day's journey. In addition to the time to go to the county seat, two days is enough."
Lu Aiguo's voice reached the table, Er Auntie Lu had a sour nose, and nodded with red eyes, "I wish you came back more, I'm afraid you will feel Tired ."
Lu Aijiao and Lu Aimei looked at each other, sighed silently, then raised their heads and said to Xia Yuan in unison, "Yeah, Xia Yuan, you can go home and see more in the future."
Note from the Author:
It's a little unacceptable for Shitou's secret to be exposed at once. People constantly question the heroine's IQ. Meng Xuan is a little sweaty. In fact, there is a reason for the heroine to be like this. I think many people must have guessed. Even if it is not guessed, the reason will be gradually revealed in later chapters. Meng Xuan couldn't help but want to say that the heroine was reborn when she was six years old - just because she knew that she was only six years old "now" and was a "confused child" before, so she definitely didn't dare to act too much right away. Think about it, if she is like that, I am afraid that anyone with a brain will have to question it.
60. Power of Habit
It didn't take long for a meal to be eaten, and it was over in less than an hour. The Lu family and sisters have to travel back at night with a child.
On the way back, Xie Jiang and Xie Changgen each carried a backpack, and Er Auniang stuffed two bunches of washed grapes in each of their hands and wrapped them in lotus leaves for them to eat while walking.
The happiest is Xie Jifu, who carefully held his share of grapes and walked by himself. From time to time, I would grab a grape and put it in my mouth and chew it. Even the skin and core had to be chewed and swallowed, and I was reluctant to spit it out.
Xie Jiang and Xie Changgen didn't eat much with grapes. On the contrary, Lu Aijiao and Lu Aimei would stuff a few into their mouths while eating.
"Mom, when will we come to grandma's house?" After Xie Jifu ate several grapes in one go, he looked at Lu Aijiao expectantly, "I like the third aunt.
" Next time?" Lu Aijiao patted her son's head with a smile.
"We eat and take things like this. If we go there often, your grandmother can't afford it, and we don't have enough money to move in. You little greedy cat, is it because the chocolate that the third aunt gave you is delicious? "Yes?"
"No, the third aunt is the most beautiful, and she is not murderous. I also like Sister Xiaoyun." Xie Jifu was so embarrassed that he didn't want to admit that he was greedy.
He subconsciously reached out and touched the four bulging pockets of his clothes and trousers, which were full of white rabbit toffee. Those candies were filled by Sister Xiaoyun when he left.
"What's in your pocket?" Lu Aijiao noticed her son's movements with sharp eyes, and then looked at the stock price in his pocket and didn't understand. Her face changed suddenly, and her voice became severe.
"Did you take it out yourself or did I dig it out? Did you take the dessert from grandma's plate? How did I teach you? Do you want to go to grandma's house next time?"
"Sister, don't be angry, first listen to Jifu about what's going on, maybe someone stuffed it in his pocket." Seeing that the eldest sister showed signs of anger, Lu Aimei quickly stopped her, "Sister, don't rush to a conclusion, let's Jia Jifu is not such a child."
"Just listen to him first."
"Don't wrong the child."
Xie Jiang and Xie Changgen also quickly persuaded him.
"Okay. You say it." Lu Aijiao stared at Xie Jifu, holding back her anger.
Xie Jifu's eyes were wide open, and he looked at Lu Aijiao with tears and grievances, holding the grapes in his hand, taking out a few candies in his pocket, and opening his palm, "Sister Xiaoyun gave it to me. , is the Big White Rabbit Toffee. I didn't take back the contents of the dessert plate that my grandmother set up by myself."
"Sister, Gifford didn't lie. There is no such candy in Mom's dessert plate today."
Lu Aimei squatted down and touched Gifford's head, "Your mother didn't do it on purpose. She was afraid that you would be looked down upon if you didn't study well. She was in a hurry. They say 'steal needles when you are young, and steal money when you are old'. People can't go the wrong way. "Good boy, it's your mother who blamed you." Lu Aijiao sighed in relief, and squatted down to look at her son, "In the future, you still have to remember that it doesn't matter if you take what your family gives you. , if you want it, ask your parents and they agree that you can take it too. But you can't take it secretly by yourself, do you know?"
"I see, then can I take this candy given by Sister Xiaoyun? ?" Xie Jifu nodded obediently, and looked at Lu Aijiao expectantly.
"Okay. Sister Xiaoyun is her own family. Just don't eat it all at once." Lu Aijiao nodded.
"I know, Sister Xiaoyun said you can't eat too much at one time, or all your teeth will fall out." Xie Jifu hurriedly put the candy in his pocket again, grinning happily
"Sister Xiaoyun also said that when they go to Haicheng, there will be more delicious food, and they will send them to me. Dabao and Xiaobao can only drink milk powder when they are young, so these delicious food will be cheaper for me. But Dissolve this white rabbit toffee in boiling water, it tastes more fragrant than milk powder. Mom, can you help me try it when you go back? Sister Xiaoyun said you can't put too much water"
Xie Jifu's voice along the way The chatter passed around, either going around Sister Xiaoyun or Aunt Three, until he said that he was tired and was carried away by sisters Lu Aijiao and Lu Aimei in turn, and he would say something from time to time. Several adults couldn't help laughing when they heard it.
As soon as she got home, Xia Yuan couldn't wait to call Lu Aiguo and Shitou over. Seeing the money and tickets, and talking about their sales today, Lu Aiguo praised her as "my daughter-in-law is the best." , Xia Yuan was so proud of her that her little tail was about to go to the sky.
Lu Yun was speechless when she saw her mother's smugness. She pursed her lips and snickered. Shitou looked at her and whispered, "You guys are brave enough.
" sticking out his tongue on the stone.
Stone laughed.
The next day, Lu Aiguo and Shitou went to the mountain early in the morning, and even Xia Yuan prepared breakfast and lunch for them to bring.
Every day around ten o'clock in the morning, although the sun is still hot, under the grape trellis in the Lu family's small courtyard, the sun will not shine directly at this time. So at this time, sitting on a stone bench that has been scrubbed with cool well water, it is not very hot when the wind blows occasionally, and I still feel very comfortable.
At this moment, Lu Yun and her mother were sitting at the stone table under the grape trellis and reading.
That's right, it's "recognition".
A Xinhua dictionary is spread out in front of the mother and daughter, one teaches and the other learns. Of course, if you can ignore the madness and helplessness from the bottom of her heart that Lu Yun was desperately holding down, then this scene still looks harmonious and warm.
For the future, Lu Yun has imagined thousands of things these days. She kept asking herself, what did she really want to sit on in this life?
After thinking about it, Lu Yun found that she didn't seem to have anything else she wanted to do besides continuing to refine medicine.
In her previous life, she spent most of her life dealing with medicinal herbs, thoroughly pondering the first half of the pharmacopoeia. Lu Yun originally thought that she would be tired of refining medicine in her life. As a result, she didn't touch the medicine tripod for a few days, and she couldn't bear it before she started refining the herbs by herself, and she wanted to start refining the medicine.
After all, she was still in love with the second half of the pharmacopoeia and only touched the fur. To really understand it, practice is essential. It's like a person who wants to conquer a high mountain, already feels that he is infinitely close to the peak, and when he is full of strength, at this time he is told to stop and not to go up, how terrible does it feel?
Lu Yun lamented that the power of habit is indeed terrifying. When did she start forcing herself to make a living from it, and finally fell in love with it?
