Chapter 7: Gossip on Family Affairs

In the evening, when Grandpa Lu, who went to the next village to see a doctor, came home with a flashlight, Grandma Lu had already stewed a pot of chicken, and the fragrance spread throughout the hall. "Shanshan, come, eat a piece of chicken leg and make up for it." During the meal, Grandma Lu took the lead in sandwiching the chicken leg into Lu Shan's bowl.

She smiled kindly, and even her eyes narrowed.

Lu Shan was a little embarrassed, but seeing that everyone looked pleased, she could only swallow the words of refusal into her stomach, and opened her mouth to bite the chicken leg that was not fat.

The gifts were exchanged, and Lu Shan also sandwiched a piece of chicken for everyone in the family, which immediately made Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu smile on their faces, and praised their granddaughter's filial piety.

People in the village don't pay so much attention to eating, and there is no saying that "food is not spoken", especially Grandma Lu, who said at the dinner table whose daughter-in-law is going to give birth to a baby, and whose eldest son is going to say that the daughter-in-law is going to talk about the daughter-in-law.

As soon as he said this, it went to Lu Jue's body.

"Boss, the youngest son of the carpenter's family in the east of the village, it is Li Dali, I remember that the two of you are the same year?" Grandma Lu asked.

Lu Jue nodded, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then replied: "He is the first half of the year, the second half of the year, and the older month." ”

Grandma Lu got an accurate answer, suddenly sighed, put down her chopsticks, and said: "I remember that young man got married the year before last, and his daughter-in-law gave birth to a girl the next year. Carpenter Li's family told people everywhere that her daughter-in-law was pregnant with this baby and tasted sour, and this year the plums on their plum tree had entered her daughter-in-law's belly, and eighty percent of them were going to give birth to a son. ”

Lu Jue coughed lightly twice, probably understanding Grandma Lu's words.

Grandma is anxious about his life's events, Lu Jue is a little embarrassed, marriage also depends on fate. What's more, the current situation at home does not allow him to talk about marriage, but he will be able to earn money soon, and the future should be better and better.

It was Lu Shan, who was a little puzzled when she heard Grandma Lu talk about giving birth to a second child.

Isn't this the era when family planning is the strictest? Even if any family wants to give birth to a second one, they have to hide in Tibet, and if they are caught by the people in the family planning center, they will definitely be caught for inducing labor for a few months. That carpenter Li's wife even dared to publicize the fact that her daughter-in-law was pregnant with her second child, and she was not afraid of being caught.

In fact, Lu Shan doesn't know which year family planning is strict and which year is lax, but she has a veterinarian colleague who is a post-80s generation like her, and that colleague is the second child. I heard him say that in order to give birth to him, his parents hid in a relative's house in a remote mountainous area from the beginning of his pregnancy, and did not dare to go home until he gave birth. And when she got the hukou, she was fined 10,000 yuan, and the 10,000 yuan in the countryside in the 80s was very valuable, and her colleague's family had been struggling for more than ten years.

Lu Shan heard it very strangely at the time, so she remembered it very clearly. The father of the nation has said that if you don't understand, you have to ask, so Lu Shan asked the puzzle in her heart: "Grandma, don't you want family planning now, how can you still have a second child?" ”

"Carpenter Li's sister-in-law works in the town's family planning office, and their family also has a lot of family background, and they can afford to raise a second one. If this baby still gives birth to a girl, it is estimated that it is still going to give birth. Grandma Lu said with certainty, "Their Li family is the most patriarchal, if the daughter-in-law of the strong force can't give birth to a son, it is estimated that life in the Li family will be even more difficult." ”

Grandpa Lu glared at Grandma Lu a little and said, "You old woman, what are you doing talking about in front of your children, hurry up and eat your meal!" ”

He hurriedly glanced at Lu Shan, for fear that she would think of herself and feel a burden in her heart, so she thought about it for a while before saying: "Shanshan, don't listen to what your grandmother said, what kind of patriarchy, girls and boys are not all their own flesh and blood!" Like our family, we don't like those. ”

Grandpa Lu is a barefoot Chinese medicine doctor in Qili Village, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he is very Zhouzheng, even if he is old, it is not difficult to see that he should be very handsome when he is young.

In comparison, Grandma Lu is inferior, but her face is delicate, and the wrinkles on her face make her look gentle and kind. The two old men have been with each other for a lifetime, and their feelings are very deep, so when Grandpa Lu said this, Grandma Lu also nodded in agreement.

Of course, Lu Shan knew that the Lu family would not be patriarchal, not to mention that her grandparents loved her very much, even if she had been a lot willful because of Xue Hang's soft-footed shrimp scumbag in the past two years, the two old men did not blame her. There is also Lu Jue, who looks good and has good academic performance, although he is introverted and silent, he is very fond of Lu Shan, and it can be seen from the words he can say to divorce Lu Shan that this brother is unprincipled towards his sister.

As for her mother who went back to the city to enjoy happiness, maybe Lu Shan was still thinking about it before, and now Lu Shan only thinks that she doesn't have zĂ i. There are many people who pursue glory and wealth, but if they can abandon their children for the sake of materialism, this kind of mother is not worthy of being a mother at all! What's more, this woman married Lu Shan's father in order to live a better life, and after giving birth to two children, she basically didn't care, it was always Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu who brought up the two brothers and sisters.

Lu Shan is very satisfied with the current family situation, and she also likes the current family, she looked at the family members sitting around the small table in the square, and secretly made up her mind that she must let her grandparents and brother live a good life!

Picking up the chopsticks and holding a piece of potato, she squinted and thought, there is no way to get rid of poverty and become rich for the time being, let's start by improving the food!

This meal was very happy, except for Grandma Lu, who was a little regretful, but she thought about it, her grandson is so good, she must say a good family thing. Thinking about it this way, she is no longer entangled.

Lu Shan assisted Grandma Lu to clean up the dining table, wash the dishes, and after cleaning up her personal hygiene, she went into the house to rest.

Lying on the bed of *, looking at the black beams above her head, Lu Shan, who had just arrived, slept soundly.

Little did she know at this time that a huge surprise would await her next.
