Chapter 23: Discussing the Wine
After Lu Shan got dressed quickly, she went out with Grandma Lu.
In the hall, Grandpa Lu and Lu Jue were there, and there were a few other people Lu Shan was not very familiar with.
Sitting not far from Grandpa Lu was an elderly couple, the man's name was Ye Dezheng, and the woman's name was Zhang Hui, who were Ye Gang's parents. Ye Dezheng is short and strong, with gray hair, wearing a hairy blue tunic and is very energetic. Zhang Hui is a very thin woman, her thinning hair is curled into a bun, and she looks a lot like a woman in the old society.
Beside them, there is a young couple, the female Lu Shan knows, it is Ye Gang's eldest sister Ye Mei, and the male should be Ye Mei's husband Lin Jianguo. The two of them were also holding a little girl wrapped in a floral jacket in their arms.
As soon as Lu Shan walked into the hall, Ye Mei saw her, quickly stood up and walked over, and asked with concern, "Shanshan is up, is she feeling better?" ā
"It's okay, eldest sister, it's just that I'm still a little dizzy, not strict." Lu Shan raised a smile and replied half-truthfully.
No matter what era it is, lazy women always give people a bad impression, she got up late today, but she can't make the Ye family feel that she is a lazy woman.
So being sick is a good excuse, although she is indeed in a coma, but now she is not dizzy at all, she is in good spirits.
Ye Mei looked at her, frowned and said, "I'm still dizzy, I think it's better to go to the hospital in the county town for a check-up, and have peace of mind!" ā
After saying this, she saw that Grandma Lu was not unhappy, thought about it and continued: "Today, my parents are here to discuss the marriage and wine between you and Gangzi. Otherwise, Gangzi will take Shanshan into the city, buy what should be bought, and take a photo. Grandpa Lu, Grandma Lu, Mom and Dad, what do you say? ā
Ye Mei mentioned yƬ like this, in addition to being a little worried about Lu Shan's body, she was also selfish.
Yesterday's incident was so big, she naturally heard about it at her mother's house in Liuli Village, not to mention that Ye Gang was also in the Lu family at the time, so she knew more about this matter.
Although they all believe that Lu Shan is not the kind of woman who is indecent, the impact of this kind of thing on women is always bad, and Ye Mei is still a little worried about this overly handsome brother and daughter-in-law, worried that she can't stand the loneliness at a young age.
Therefore, Ye Mei felt that she had to take advantage of Ye Gang's current home to let the two get along well. is also a woman, she naturally understands a woman's mind better, as long as Lu Shan has feelings for Ye Gang, even if Ye Gang is not at home all the year round, she can keep this home.
Grandpa Lu pondered for a while, and also felt that it was feasible, although he didn't think that there was anything wrong with his granddaughter's health, but he was just a barefoot Chinese medicine doctor in the village, what if there was a problem that he couldn't check out? Let's go to the big hospital in the city to take a look, Lu Shan only fell into the water a few days ago, but don't fall into the root of the disease.
"In-laws, in-laws, I think the matter of this banquet is just a few of us old. Let's let them go to the city for a walk! Grandpa Lu said to Ye Dezheng. The two of them are actually not a few years apart, but because of the relationship between Ye Gang and Lu Shan, the two are a generation apart.
Ye Dezheng nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Lu is right, Gangzi, you take Shanshan into the city, buy everything that should be bought, buy everything you lack in the house, and let Shanshan choose the color and style she likes." ā
After saying this, he glanced at his daughter-in-law, Zhang Hui quickly stood up, took out a small bag wrapped in a handkerchief from his trouser pocket, opened the handkerchief and counted out twenty pieces of unity from it, stuffed it to Lu Shan without saying anything, and said very gently: "Shanshan can buy whatever she likes!" ā
This...... Lu Shan looked at the twenty rolled up money in her hand, a little confused.
Before she could refuse, she saw Grandma Lu grab the money and was about to return it to Zhang Hui, saying very disagreeing words in her mouth: "Mother-in-law, what are you doing, hurry up and take back this money, Shanshan is now your daughter-in-law, what are you doing so politely?" ā
Grandma Lu said such kind words, of course, not to belittle her granddaughter, but to feel that Zhang Hui took too much money! She was afraid that after Lu Shan lived in the Ye family in the future, Zhang Hui would be dissatisfied with her because of the money given today.
This "politeness" is also a great discipline in the countryside.
When people keep you for dinner, it doesn't necessarily mean that they really want to invite you to dinner, or it may just be kind words. Similarly, Zhang Hui is giving Lu Shan money now, and he doesn't necessarily really want to give it, at least not so much.
Suddenly, Grandma Lu and Zhang Hui pushed each other in the hall, one refused to ask for the two hundred yuan, and the other refused to take back the money, which was quite intense.
"Okay, old woman, let her keep the money that her mother-in-law gave Shanshan. You said it all, Shanshan is now the Ye family, what is the family doing? Grandpa Lu glanced at Lu Shan lovingly, with a look in his eyes that Lu Shan couldn't understand, and he said, "Shanshan, you have to live a good life in the future and be filial to your parents." ā
Lu Shan didn't understand the meaning of Grandpa Lu's words, but she herself is a person who values filial piety, so naturally she won't do that wolf-hearted thing.
So he nodded solemnly and said, "I will, grandpa." ā
Including you and grandma, I will provide for you in old age, so that you can all live a good life.
Lu Shan didn't say this, in the eyes of rural people, raising children to prevent old age, and sons are the ones who will provide for their parents and elders to die. She can think so, but she can't say so, otherwise others will think that her brother Lu Jue is incapable.
In the end, Lu Shan took the "pocket money" given by her mother-in-law, walked out of the small courtyard with Ye Gang, and walked in the direction of the county seat.
In the Lu family hall, the Lu family is discussing with the Ye family about holding a banquet and a bride price.
At this time, Lu Shan didn't know what the Ye family's bride price was to the Lu family.
