After listening to Zhou Meihua's story, Lu Zifeng instantly understood what was going on, and there was an indescribable melancholy in his heart.

He hurriedly comforted: "Granny Plum Blossom, don't cry, everything has happened, it's useless to cry." ”

Zhou Meihua stopped crying and said, "Zifeng, I'm sorry to make you laugh, but I'm really angry." ”

She said while comforting her grandson Lu Feiyu, "Well, don't cry, don't cry either." ”

The little boy Lu Feiyu stopped crying and continued to chew watermelon seeds.

Lu Zifeng pondered for a moment and said, "Granny Plum Blossom, I remember that Uncle Quan was not like this before, how can this ......?"

He didn't say the rest of the words, but the meaning was clear.

Zhou Meihua sighed: "Since I divorced Wanrou and her mother, it has become like this, no matter what, if this family doesn't have me, I'm afraid I will starve to death." ”

Lu Zifeng felt a little sad in his heart, he knew that Lu Youquan and his wife divorced last year, but he didn't expect that Lu Youquan had changed so much, in the past two years, he was also working hard for his mother's illness, and he didn't know much about some things.

Lu Zifeng said: "How much does Uncle Quan owe for gambling money?"

Zhou Meihua didn't know how to speak, frowned, and stretched out two fingers.

"Two hundred thousand?" Lu Zifeng was startled.

200,000 is not a small amount, in Qiuxi Town, ordinary people may save money for three or four years or even longer to save enough.

I didn't expect this Lu Youquan to gamble too much.

Zhou Meihua nodded and said: "I originally wanted Wanrou not to listen to her father, study hard, and strive to be admitted to a good university next year, anyway, I still have some savings, and I can support her to go to high school and college, and she will rely on herself." But this girl is not happy to live or die, she has to help her father pay off her gambling debts, that person might as well die, alas......"

A long sigh, full of helplessness, full of melancholy.

Lu Wanrou wiped her tears and said, "Dad just took a detour for a while, Dad was kind to me before, I can't help him." ”

Zhou Meihua shook her head, "You stupid boy......"

Lu Zifeng said: "Okay, Mother-in-law Meihua, leave this matter to me, Sister Wanrou continues to go to school and study, and I will help him pay off Uncle Quan's gambling debts first." ”

Zhou Meihua hurriedly waved her hand and refused, and said, "No, no, how can this money be let out for you." ”

Lu Wanrou sobbed: "Brother Zifeng, thank you, anyway, women have to get married sooner or later, and there is nothing wrong with being early." ”

Lu Zifeng said: "Sister Wanrou, don't you want to go to college?"

Lu Wanrou was silent.

College, of course she wanted to go to.

This is the common dream of all rural children, who want to grow up and go out of the mountains and live the good life they want.

But an ideal is always an ideal, and in the face of reality, you have to bow your head.

Lu Zifeng continued: "Plum blossom mother-in-law, Wanrou sister, don't be polite to me, I guess I have recently made a fortune, you have all heard it in the village, there is Uncle Quan's gambling debts for me, it is nothing, just like I ate your watermelon seeds, drizzle." ”

200,000 drizzle?

Zhou Meihua and Lu Wanrou were all stunned, about the news that Lu Zifeng suddenly made a fortune, of course they had heard it, there were not a few people talking about it at the head of the village and the end of the village, but this is 200,000, not 20,000, can it be drizzle?

Zhou Meihua only said that Lu Zifeng didn't want her to refuse in order to ease her heart, but how could she be embarrassed to accept such a big help?

"Zifeng ......" Zhou Meihua wanted to say something more, but was directly interrupted by Lu Zifeng, "Mother-in-law Meihua, if you refuse again, it will be treating me Lu Zifeng as an outsider, and I will not come to your house to eat watermelon seeds in the future." ”

As soon as she said this, Zhou Meihua didn't know what to say, and her wrinkled hands held Lu Zifeng's hand and said, "Zifeng, thank you, thank you." ”

Lu Zifeng said with a smile: "Plum blossom mother-in-law, you don't need to thank you, you can just make a braised meal for me today." ”

"Good, good. Zhou Meihua said three good things in a row.

"Puff ......"

Lu Wanrou also burst into tears and laughed, with indescribable joy in her heart.

In the past few days, she thought that her dream of going to college was going to be completely shattered, but she didn't expect another village.

She looked at Lu Zifeng, her eyes full of reverence.

She knew that if Lu Zifeng didn't help now, she might really marry someone else's wife in a short time.

"Brother Zifeng, thank you. ”

Lu Wanrou said sincerely.

Lu Zifeng helped her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, what are you polite to your brother, study hard, and strive to be admitted to a key university next year, which can be regarded as adding glory to our Lujiazhuang." ”

Lu Wanrou smiled and nodded, "Well, I will, Brother Zifeng." ”

I was also thinking in my heart, when I grow up, I must return the money to Brother Zifeng.

"Okay, then I'll take you to school myself tomorrow. Lu Zifeng smiled with relief.

"No, I'll just do it myself. ”

Lu Wanrou waved her hand and refused, thinking to herself, she couldn't trouble Brother Zifeng anymore.

"Be polite to me, I'm going to go to the county seat tomorrow anyway, by the way, Uncle Quan is in the county seat, right?"

Zhou Meihua interjected and said, "Well, it's all on the county construction site." ”

Lu Zifeng said: "Okay, I'll go meet Uncle Youquan tomorrow and ask him what's going on." ”

......

Midday.

Granny Plum Blossom boiled a large bowl of the five flowers she had just bought from the street in the morning using a special secret method, which was so golden that it could make people drool just by looking at it.

Although Lu Zifeng's taste was raised by his own Chinese cabbage

, I can't eat ordinary dishes, but he still eats with relish when he has been hungry for plum blossom mother-in-law braised since he was a child.

A large plate of braised braised was almost wiped out by him alone, which made him embarrassed.

After having lunch at Mother-in-law Meihua's house and chatting a few words, Lu Zifeng returned to his house leisurely wiping his mouth.

The family saw that it was noon, and Lu Zifeng had not come back from the market town, so he immediately asked Xu Ruoxue to make a call to Lu Zifeng, but after two rings, he was hung up, and after calling again, it showed that the phone was turned off, and then after waiting for a while, he still didn't see anyone come back, so he also started eating.

After Lu Zifeng entered the door, they had just finished eating.

Looking at Lu Zifeng, who walked into the house slowly, Xu Ruoxue was so angry that she dared to hang up her phone, but when she saw Lu Baocai and Liu Guilan present, she didn't have a seizure, and she glared at Lu Zifeng fiercely to relieve her anger.

Liu Guilan: "Zifeng, what are you doing? Don't go home for dinner, you see, we're all done." ”

Lu Zifeng: "I just ate at Granny Meihua's house. ”

Liu Guilan glanced at her son: "You, you, your own food is not delicious, and you have to go to your plum blossom mother's house to eat?

Lu Zifeng's face flushed, a little embarrassed.

Liu Guilan: "What good things did you buy for your plum blossom wife?"

Lu Zifeng shook his head, "I didn't buy it." ”

Liu Guilan's eyes widened, and she said angrily: "I didn't buy it, are you embarrassed to go?"

Lu Zifeng smiled embarrassedly, "Then I'll buy it next time." ”

Liu Guilan said loudly: "Next time, I will buy it this time, speaking of which, during my illness, your plum blossom mother-in-law came to take care of me, I am better now, and I haven't been to see her yet, it's really embarrassing." ”

No, Liu Guilan was very ashamed.

Lu Baocai patted his wife's back and comforted: "Guilan, don't blame yourself, I believe Aunt Plum Blossom can understand, or I will accompany you to visit Aunt Plum Blossom tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, he didn't forget to glare at his son, and said: "You said that you too, knowing that when your mother was sick, your plum blossom mother-in-law came to visit your mother at home every three or five days, and ate no less than a hundred of your plum blossom mother's eggs alone. ”

Lu Zifeng was very helpless, he originally wanted to say that he was hit by someone on the road when he met Mei Blossom Po, so he personally rode a bicycle to send people home, but he was left for dinner, where can I buy gifts?

But when I thought about it, if my mother heard the news that Plum Blossom Granny was knocked down, she would probably be anxious, and she would be too lazy to say it, anyway, Plum Blossom would be fine.

Sighing helplessly in his heart, Lu Zifeng said: "Okay, okay, parents, it's my fault, I will definitely learn a lesson next time, and I won't embarrass your second elder." ”

Xu Ruoxue is still

The first time I saw Lu Zifeng's deflated appearance, my heart was inexplicably a little refreshed, and I thought, Lu Zifeng, aren't you very good? There is also such a cowardly day, it seems that the tiger also has a weakness, and only uncles and aunts can cure you.

Lu Baocai said: "This is about the same. ”

"Guilan, you see, Zifeng also knows that he is wrong, after all, he is a child, where do you know what etiquette, don't be angry. ”

Lu Baocai turned his head and comforted his wife again.

Where could Liu Guilan really be angry with her son? She was just a son, and it was too late for pain, but on the surface, she still pretended to be serious, looked up at Lu Zifeng, and said, "Zifeng, you go to the town tomorrow to buy some nutritional products for the elderly, and I will take them to your plum blossom wife to eat." ”

Lu Zifeng obeyed: "Okay, I will definitely do it." ”
