Chapter 210: Little Abacus
Sterilization of Xuan Mang? Lu Shan thinks it's better to forget it!
After all, Xuanmang is also a "divine beast" who has lived for at least hundreds of years, how can she be embarrassed to be a cruel beast?
Lu Shan helplessly supported her forehead and comforted the little snake: "Don't worry, Bai, for the sake of the happiness of your lower body, I won't do this." ”
The little snake closed his mouth contentedly.
There are more than a dozen mouths in the house, and Lu Shan suddenly feels that the rice pot is a bit pocket-sized, Zhang Shili's ancestors have lived in the capital for generations, and the kitchen utensils are only enough for a few people in the family. Unlike in Qili Village, each household has at least two large iron pots, one for cooking and stir-frying, and the other for cooking pig food.
In rural areas, not to mention the spaciousness of the house, the large and small tools in the home are also judged by large sizes. Whether it is a pot stove or a vegetable bowl or a rice bowl, even the footwashing basin is much larger than that in the city.
Looking at the small pot on the honeycomb coal stove, Lu Shan decided to go out early tomorrow morning to buy groceries.
In the afternoon, Lu Shan operated on two more barking dogs, and after putting them back in the kennel, looking at a group of energetic animals, Lu Shan deeply felt that spring had indeed arrived.
Standing in front of the courtyard wall, looking at the bare branches and trunks, spitting out a little green shoots with teeth and claws, Lu Shan sighed softly, thought about it, or went to the space warehouse to search for a while, and took a bunch of nutritional products that were torn off the outer packaging.
Then I went to the field and caught two chickens and two rabbits, put them in a nylon bag, and carried them out with nutrition.
She thought about it carefully, and the old lady Ming fainted in anger under her nose, after all, it was because of her. Even if she doesn't want to get too close to the Ming family, the blood relationship is still there. Mrs. Ming is her grandmother by blood, and she is sick because of her, so it stands to reason that she should also visit her.
Even if she didn't have this level of college connection, as a neighbor, she should go and visit.
Zhang Shili has a saying right: distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
Carrying large bags and small bags of things, Lu Shan knocked on the door of the Ming family.
"Knock knock!"
The courtyard of the Ming family is very beautiful and elegant, although it is only a courtyard to enter, it is obviously much more atmospheric than Zhang Shili's small courtyard.
Zhang Shili's yard is not large, only a few dozen square meters around the left and right, and only a little green onion narcissus is planted in the corner of the courtyard, which adds some greenery to the dilapidated courtyard.
But the courtyard of the Ming family is different, the yard is at least a few hundred square meters of area, the four corners of the east, west, north and south are planted with ginkgo pomegranates, and two rows of holly are planted on both sides of the gate, which is also energetic and green in winter.
Although there is no small bridge and flowing water in the middle of the courtyard, the vermilion eaves pavilion is not far away. The rockery, the crystal clear water, the flowers, and the winding paths all witness the beauty and ancient charm of this courtyard, representing the identity and connotation of the owner's family.
The Ming family has been Confucian for generations, even though they have suffered a lot during the special period, but now they have obviously suffered a lot.
According to Zhang Shili, in recent years, the state has successively returned the Ming family's property, of which there are several courtyards alone. I heard that the ancestral house of the family is a large courtyard with four entrances, which is very close to the center of the current capital, and it only takes more than ten minutes to walk to the palace.
Lu Shan is not interested in the Ming family's industry, even if she knows that the current Ming family is very rich, just those few courtyard houses with excellent geographical locations can make the Ming family, large and small, eat and drink spicy food for several lifetimes, not to mention other valuable objects.
Antique calligraphy and painting are estimated to have been destroyed in most of the special period, but the most valuable things, the Ming family must have been preserved, as long as this sensitive period has passed, it can be taken out openly.
Just from the courtyard in front of them, it can be seen that the Ming family is indeed rich.
Lu Shan suddenly remembered one thing, she remembered that last year, the reason why Grandma Lu was so angry and seriously ill was because of Mingyu's plan - she wanted to move Lu Jue's household registration to the capital and settle in the Ming family.
Mingyu's specific plan Lu Shan is not very clear, and Lu Jue did not explain in detail, but this is roughly what it means.
At that time, Lu Shan was occupied by Grandma Lu's affairs, and she didn't think too much about Mingyu's plan.
But now that I think about it, I feel full of doubts.
She couldn't be clearer about what kind of person Mingyu is, selfish, mercenary, and her six relatives don't recognize her. All her character and style are presented to everyone around these twelve words, if showing weakness can bring her benefits, she will be pitiful and weak, if she can achieve her goal, she will abandon her family and children, and her six relatives will not recognize.
Such a person, even if she is thrown into the war years, it is estimated that she will live a smooth life.
Lu Shan does not reject people who have means, scheming and ambitions, but if a person even abandons the bottom line, then no matter how amazing and brilliant he is, he will not be able to gain recognition.
And with Mingyu's personality, saying that she is planning for Lu Jue's future, no one believes this at all. Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu, even if they want their grandson to get ahead, it is impossible for him to move his household registration out of the Lu family.
Although Lu Shan is favored, in the final analysis, in the eyes of the second elder, only Lu Jue is the future of the Lu family, and he is the hope of the second elder of the Lu family.
What exactly is Mingyu doing this for?
Lu Shan thought about it and made a bold guess in her heart.
At this moment, the door was opened from the inside, revealing a youthful and beautiful face, which was similar to Mingxiu, and should be the child of the third generation of the Ming family.
"May I ask you ...... You're Lu Shan's cousin, aren't you? The man looked at Lu Shan's face, and suddenly showed a look of surprise, his reddish eyes were blown by the cold wind, and he almost shed tears again.
She hurriedly welcomed Lu Shan in, and when her eyes touched the nylon pocket in Lu Shan's hand, she was even more moved, but she said: "It's good that you're here, why do you still buy so many things, it's really a waste of money!" ”
She was not polite to Lu Shan, but she was sincere.
For Lu Shan's cousin, Ming Jing has already heard of it, not only Lu Shan, but also Lu Jue's cousin, these are all said by her Aunt Mingyu herself.
In the past, the Ming family didn't know that Mingyu had children, let alone children, no one knew where she went to be an educated youth. At that time, the Ming family was in the hot period of the water, and everyone who had something to do with the Ming family was implicated, not to mention the Ming family, and they were even more persecuted.
Mingyu is the only person in the Ming family who has escaped the catastrophe, but her resolute attitude to dissociate herself from the Ming family also made the Ming family chill, and what is even more odious is that she also reported her family, which made the Ming family, who was already very difficult, even worse, and couldn't survive.
Since Mingyu went to the mountains and went to the countryside, the Ming family itself is difficult to protect, where do they still have the right and financial resources to find Mingyu, no one knows whether she is dead or alive. It wasn't until the special period passed that Mingyu contacted his family and expressed his urgent desire to return to the city.
After all, it was the youngest daughter who had been hurting for more than ten years, and she had suffered outside for many years, even if she was cold about what she had done before, she didn't do it too much, and it took a little effort to get Mingyu back to the city from the remote mountainous area.
Seeing that Mingyu returned to the city alone, and there was no one who knew the warmth and coldness, Mrs. Ming's heart softened a little, and Mingyu reflected on herself for a while with tears, and the family's attitude towards her was much better. Although it is impossible to be very good to her, it will not be missing her when eating and dressing.
Later, Mingyu met Su Liwei and married him desperately. Although the Su family is powerful and powerful, its background is still much worse than that of the Ming family. The Su family has good composition, and the ancestors have been poor peasants for several generations, and when it came to the generation of Old Man Su, they followed the leaders to carry guns and fight, which is what we have today.
The Su family is also looking at the scenery, in fact, they don't have much money, and now they are not in business to make money, and the Su family lives on dead wages, this kind of life is really different from the Ming family.
Mingyu dreamed of dividing the property of the Ming family, but she also knew that with what she had done before, it was already very good for the Ming family to maintain face-to-face contact with her, and it was a dream to let the Ming family share her share!
Therefore, she can only hit the head of a pair of children who have long been forgotten by her.
No matter how bad it is, Lu Jue and Lu Shan are also the grandsons of Mrs. Ming, especially Lu Jue, who has been sensible since he was a child, has a talent for reading, and has completely inherited the advantages of the Ming family. If Mrs. Ming saw him, she would like it. When the time comes, I believe that Mrs. Ming will at least share a courtyard house for her in front of the child.
Mingyu's abacus jingled, but unfortunately Lu Jue didn't agree at all. She hit the idea on the head of the second elder of the Lu family again, believing that they would not let their grandson face the loess with his back to the sky for the rest of his life.
It's a pity that all her plans have failed, and it has made the Lu family even more resentful of her.
However, everything has two sides, and when she learned that she still had a pair of children left in the countryside, Mrs. Ming was almost angry to death!
The Ming family has been Confucian for generations, and there is such a wolf-hearted descendant as Mingyu, she is simply shameless to face the ancestors and ancestors. Immediately, in front of the whole family, she said a decision - all the Ming family, Mingyu is not eligible to inherit, but her two hard-working grandsons must have a share.
Of course, the Ming family had no objections, but Mingyu secretly hated it.
In vain, she did everything she could, but in the end she made a wedding dress for someone else.
Ming Jing had already heard all this from her father, and to be honest, she was also very distressed about Lu Shan and Lu Jue, two cousins. Even in the most difficult period of the Ming family, she was also pampered by her parents and grew up, and she didn't know how uncomfortable it was to be abandoned by her mother when she was a child.
"My name is Ming Jing, you can call me Sister Jing." Ming Jing closed the door and introduced herself to Lu Shan in a babbling manner, "When you enter the house, I'll introduce other people to you." ”
"Miss Ming, is the old lady okay?" Lu Shan suddenly turned around and asked.
Ming Jing smiled, her face was bright and beautiful, and it was really the Ming family.
She took the nylon pocket in Lu Shan's hand and said, "Grandma's body is not in serious trouble, the doctor said that she was angry and anxious, and she needed to recuperate for a while." Grandma is also old, and some minor illnesses and pains have to be raised for a long time. ”
Lu Shan's eyes moved slightly, and she put the nutritional products in her hand into Ming Jing's arms, "Since Mrs. Ming is fine, then I'll go back first." These things can be regarded as a little heart as a neighbor, and I hope Miss Ming will not dislike them. ”
After saying this, without waiting for Ming Jing to react, Lu Shan turned around and left.
Ming Jing was stunned for a moment, "sigh", and hurriedly chased after him with his things.
