Chapter 223: Qinggangling
Don't think that only when boys go to college, they will ask about marriage when their families get together. When a girl goes to college, her family and friends will care about it.
For example, at the Lu family's family banquet now, the second aunt asked Lu Ran enthusiastically if he had a boyfriend in college.
Before Lu Ran could answer, her father, Lu Heng's third uncle Lu Youde, pouted and said: "Just Lu Ran's cold face every day, who will like her, after graduating from college, find a suitable person to marry, second sister-in-law, don't get involved." ”
Lu Heng glanced at Lu Ran, who was drinking mushroom soup silently with his head down, then glanced at the third uncle, and said with a smile: "Third uncle, my sister is so beautiful, there must be a lot of boys chasing her in the school, where is there no one who wants you to say so!"
"Yes, Lu Heng is right, the person chasing me has a reinforcement company, Dad, you don't have to worry about my fate in the future. ”
The scene was quiet for a while, but I didn't expect Lu Ran to say such a sentence, Lu Heng was also stunned for a moment, his sister was really a little speechless!
Seeing that Lu Youde was blowing his beard and staring at him and was about to get angry, Chen Rong immediately gave Lu Ran a bite of food, and said with a smile: "Our Lu Ran's small appearance is first-class, there must be someone chasing him, come and eat more food, see that you are thinner than last year." ”
After all, it was in Lu Heng's house, and he had to give face to Chen Rong, the hostess, and Lu Youde could only give up. But he still muttered in his mouth, "Girl, the goods that lose money." ”
If this was put in the past, it might really be true, in order to find a good family to marry a daughter, you have to prepare a rich dowry, and then give away the daughter who has been raised for more than ten or twenty years.
But now, times have changed, and customs have changed. Judging from Lu Heng's eyes, if you want to marry a good wife, having a house and a car is standard, and her appearance is thoughtful. Job stability is also not missing. The gift money to the in-laws is far more than before.
Although there is Lu Ran's stubble, the meal is still lively and lively, and everyone is happy. The four men present, they didn't drink less, and they didn't treat Lu Heng as a student today, when they became adults, they were the strong laborers of the family, and they could be the pillars of their existence, and drinking some wine would have no effect.
A little rest in the afternoon. They all set off towards Mengjiao.
The driving ones were the second aunt and Lu Ran, a Nissan Teana, and a Santana. Tian Lai was bought by the second uncle last year, Santana has been around for some years, and he is the old head of the third uncle's family.
Lu Heng's four men all drank, and they couldn't lose their strength for a while, so they had to let the two women drive.
The trunk was full of firecrackers. Incense, candles, paper money, these are all burned to Lu Heng's grandparents and grandparents later.
The Lu family was originally Shimen Village in Mengjiao, but later they moved out of Shimen Village one after another, and then the three brothers went their separate ways.
Lu Heng's family was the latest to move out of Shimen Village. Because Lu Heng's grandmother had not passed away at that time, someone had to take care of him, so Lu Heng stayed in his hometown from time to time, and until now Lu Heng's household registration is still a rural household registration in Shimen Village, Mengjiao.
At that time, it was a New Year's holiday. It's not at Lu Heng's house, but at grandma's house. The reunion dinner was basically done by grandma and Lu Heng's mother Chen Rong, that is, later. Grandma died, so it was changed to eat to the eldest brother Lu Youcheng's side.
On the Qinggang Ridge in Shimen Village, the mountains are full of withered yellow Qinggang trees, and the feet are covered with thick yellow leaves, and the dead branches and leaves grow in four or five pieces.
Lu Youcheng sighed while pushing aside the branches blocking the road in front of him: "If it had been in the past, these dead trees would have been cut down and burned as firewood. ”
Lu Youde continued, "Yes, I still remember that the second brother was grazing cattle in the field at that time, so I carried the back to sweep the Qinggang leaves everywhere in this Qinggang Ridge, and swept it home as firewood." Sweep a full back, compact, and then continue to sweep, continue to press. When I swept to the back, I couldn't carry it, so my second brother came to help me carry it. After so many years, Lu Heng and Lu Ran are all older than us at that time. ”
Lu Youfa, the second eldest of the Lu family, smoked a cigarette, looked at this mountain range with emotion, sniffed and said: "The three of us are almost old, and it will be Xiaomei's era in the future." Forget it, why are you talking so much, burn the incense for your mother, and go home to play mahjong. ”
A moment later, a dense burst of firecrackers rang out, startling a group of birds in the empty Qinggang Ridge. Then green smoke rose and there were immigrant magpies standing in the treetops, looking with tiny eyes at the kneeling and kowtowing humans below.
Solemn and solemn!
After coming back in the afternoon, everyone else went to Lu Heng's house to play cards and brag, but Lu Heng took his second uncle to the Ximen Tianjing Teahouse.
This was made a long time ago, Lu Youfa also worked in the Cangshou Vehicle Management Office for two years, and Ma Sanli was a friend he made at that time.
A few days ago, I helped Lu Heng so much, so it was reasonable, and I was able to see him when I returned to Cangshou Lu Youfa.
However, Cangshou has changed a lot, and without Lu Heng leading the way, Lu Youfa is really a little confused.
On the second floor, Lu Heng saw Ma Sanli, and before he could speak, Lu Youfa took three steps and walked over in two steps.
"Old Ma, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Lu Youfa said excitedly as he held Ma Sanli's hand.
The same is true for Ma Sanli, since Lu Youfa went to the city to work hard, they have cut off contact, don't look at it in a municipality directly under the central government. But there are more than 30 million permanent residents here, and the floating population is even more than tens of thousands.
One hand was held by Lu Youfa, Ma Sanli patted Lu Youfa's shoulder with one hand and said, "Youfa, what are you doing now, are you still in the government?"
"Ahem, it's long gone, that kind of place is not suitable for me at all, and now I have opened a stationery wholesale store, as a small boss, and I am free to make a little money every day, and I am not angry! Lu Youfa said with a sigh.
Seeing Lu Heng standing aside, Ma Sanli also stretched out his hand and said, "Lu Heng hasn't seen him for a long time, I've been very busy this month!"
Lu Heng naturally shook hands with Ma Sanli, and Lu Heng did not have any embarrassment about calling him by his name. Compared with Su Lun, Duan Xiuyan, and Liao Fan, Ma Sanli called his Lu Heng by his name most of the time.
First, Ma Sanli belongs to government agencies, and he is an official, so he has nothing to be humble about the boss of a private enterprise like Lu Heng.
Second, that is, Lu Heng is Lu Youfa's nephew, it stands to reason that Ma Sanli is Lu Heng's junior, what's the big deal about calling a name.
"It's okay, it's just busy, Uncle Ma, you and my second uncle will talk first, and I'll pour you tea and buy cigarettes. (To be continued.) )
