The breeze blew across the earth, the birds chirped non-stop on the branches, Lu Shangzhi woke up from the bed with his head covered, looked at the ancient furniture around him, and couldn't react for a while

"This ...... Where is this?"

He looked up at the wooden bed, with a table and chairs in the middle of the room, and a bamboo cabinet standing beside it, with a few clothes hanging on it

"Squeak" At this moment, a woman pushed the door open

"Child, what time is this, today is the day for you to receive color."

Lu Shangzhi pointed at himself in surprise, and the woman walked over when she saw this, and slapped his hand down, slightly dissatisfied

"I think you're waking up and sleeping stupid, you're not too young, it's time to start a family, the daughter of the Zhao family in the south of the city has also reached the marriageable age, your father and he went to give you a lottery early this morning, didn't you already say it yesterday, you won't forget it, right?"

"Nacai, may I ask Auntie...... Nacai ...... It's an ancient proposal, right?"

The woman paused, hurriedly put her hand on Lu Shangzhi's head, and looked at him with concern after feeling it for a long time

"You're not sick, squirrel, why don't you even know your mother anymore, isn't there anything uncomfortable?"

The latter was stunned, although his mother also cared about herself, but due to physical problems, there was always a knot in her heart, and her love for herself was far less unreserved than Lu Xue, which made him feel strong envy every time he saw his mother loving Lu Xue when he was a child

Now the woman in front of him actually gave Lu Shangzhi a feeling when his mother looked at Lu Xue, this kind of warmth that he had never had made him a little difficult to let go for a while, looking at the woman's face gradually as if looking at his mother, stretched out his hands and hugged it

"Mother, I'm fine......"

"Silly boy~ It's okay~ Get up, your father hasn't come back yet, this family affair is estimated to have been completed, your eldest brother and second brother will also come back today, hurry up, don't let them see the joke"

The woman gently patted his back, this loving action made Lu Shangzhi reluctant to let go, greedily absorbing the warmth brought to him by his mother's love in the woman's arms

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a scholar who was as warm as jade came in, looked at the scene in front of him with a smile, and spoke

"Child, shame on your face, you still have to hug your mother when you're so old"

The woman let go of the child in her arms and looked at the door, while the latter looked at the man angrily

"Second brother, are you envious, or you will let your mother hug you"

As soon as he said this, Lu Shangzhi couldn't help but be stunned, how did he know that the other party was the second son of the family, and before he could think about it, the scholar knocked him on the head with a paper fan

"I dare to laugh at the second brother, I owe a beating!"

The woman smiled at the scene in front of her, took the scholar's hand and asked

"Zihan, why don't you let people know when you come back"

The scholar hurriedly sat down next to the woman on the side of the chair, holding her hand tightly with both hands

"It was the child who asked them not to report, and they wanted to surprise their mother"

"It's the biggest surprise that you guys came back, by the way, what about your eldest brother, didn't you come back together?"

The scholar smiled, glanced at someone on the bed, and shouted

"Big brother!"

As soon as the words fell, a burly and dignified man walked in from outside the door, looked at the third brother who had not gotten up on the bed and snorted, then walked to the woman's side and half-knelt down

"The Child Saw the Mother"

The warm slender hand brushed the man's face, bringing a touch of tenderness to his resolute face

"It's good to come back, let's get up quickly"

Nodding and standing up from the ground, he looked at the third brother who was still lying on the bed, and frowned

"Your second brother and I have been in for so long, and we can't afford to lie in bed?"

When Lu Shangzhi heard this, his neck shrank, and a sense of fear surged in his heart, and he immediately lifted the quilt and got dressed, and then saluted the two men

"The younger brother has seen the eldest brother and the second brother"

"Uh-huh, good boy"

"Most people are still so delicate, the meaning is different today, forget it for the time being, next time I come back, you will still be like this, don't blame me for taking you to the barracks for a few years to cure your lazy disease!"

Unlike the second brother, the boss who has been fighting abroad all the year round, is upright, and is deeply affected by the strict system in the army, is very unaccustomed to his third brother's approach, and walked out of the door with a cold snort

"Hey, hey, hey, make my big brother angry~"

Looking at the gloating second brother, Lu Shangzhi didn't get angry, and hurriedly pushed him

"Then you won't help me~"

"What you did was wrong, besides, the eldest brother taught you and I will help you?

After that, regardless of his third brother, he helped his mother who was smiling bitterly and walked out, but the "third brother" at this time suddenly sobered up

"What's going on...... Why couldn't I control my actions just now...... I...... I'm Lu Shangzhi, not a child."

It didn't take long for lunch to arrive, and the boss walked back to the hall after waiting at the gate for a long time without success, looking at his mother's inquiring eyes and smiling faintly

"Don't worry, mother, I didn't see my father"

The woman breathed a sigh of relief and nodded

"That's good, that's good, let's have dinner too"

Everyone raised their chopsticks and was about to start the banquet, when Lu Shangzhi suddenly spoke

"That's... Big brother?"

"Huh?"

"Why don't you wait for your father to come back and have a meal?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all three of them looked at him with surprised eyes

"This ...... What's wrong?"

"Child, are you okay?" the woman put down the dishes and chopsticks and touched Lu Shangzhi's forehead again, "Are you sick, why don't you even remember this?"

The latter was confused by the woman's reaction, and did not understand what the other party meant, and the originally majestic eldest brother also learned from the second brother that his third brother didn't even recognize his mother before, and hurriedly reassured him with a concerned look

"Mother, don't worry, if the third child is really sick, I will immediately go back to the barracks and call the best military doctor in my camp."

Looking at the concerned actions of the two brothers and his mother, Lu Shangzhi choked up a little, these are family affections that he has never felt

"Mother, eldest brother and second brother, I'm fine, really, it's just a little blurry in my mind, maybe I'm dazed"

Hearing this, everyone let go of their worries, and the boss also recovered his previous cold face and snorted coldly

"I think you're really dizzy! No need for another time, I'll take you to the barracks today to clean up!"

"Well, okay big brother"

Everyone was stunned, the third brother who used to cry as soon as he heard that he was going to take himself to the barracks called his mother and mother became so well-behaved today, which made the three of them a little surprised

"Big brother, it looks like they've grown up."

The eldest nodded, feeling still a little incredulous, but the woman didn't care so much, just touched the third child's head, took the second child's hand, and looked at the eldest son

"Whether it's a child, Zihan, or Zichu, you are all mother's sons, even if you are ignorant all your life, I will guard you and protect you"

The people who ate at lunch were particularly warm, and afterwards, Lu Shangzhi also learned from his brother and mother the reason why his father did not come back:

In ancient times, the proposal was called Nacai, led by the matchmaker, the man's father came to the door to propose, the woman's parents entertained, the two sides understood each other in the conversation, weighed, and generally expressed the result of the proposal whether to eat or not.

Not long after lunchtime, the head of the family also returned from outside, announcing the success of the lottery, and the Zhao family agreed to go on a blind date soon
