Chapter 30: The Feast of the Hung Gate

Lou Chengzu Mu Xiu, by the way, brought Lou Wen back, Lou Wu Lou Yuan, who was studying in the next village, also rushed back, and the old house family was alive.

There was still some time before lunch that day, and Lou Wu Lou Yuan ran over: "Third uncle, grandpa called you home for dinner." ”

Lou Yuzhu almost laughed again, because he remembered the modern meme about 'calling you back for dinner'. After laughing secretly, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Brother Lou Yuan, Brother Lou Wu." "These two brothers are ten years old and one is nine years old, they didn't learn well, they learned Ji Xiaorong's small belly chicken intestines, and they bully Lou Ming and Lou Yuzhu for some trivial things on weekdays. Is it cooked? "Grandpa shouted that you should go to eat Dad, take the eldest brother with you, and tell grandpa about changing the name by seniority, and let the old house change it together, otherwise I don't know how to shout when we meet."

Lou Yuan and Lou Wu reacted to the shouting just now: "Change your name?" How to change? ”

"Aren't our three rooms separated, for the sake of convenience, my second brother is now the eldest brother, the fifth brother is the second brother, and I am the third in the family." Lou Yuzhu smiled and said again: "Without the third room, it stands to reason that Brother Lou Yuan and Brother Lou Wu should be the second and third, then I should call the second cousin and the third cousin next time we meet." ”

Lou Yuan and Lou Wu were stunned by the second and third ones, and only looked at Lou Yuzhu blankly.

"What's wrong?" Lou Hua stopped what he was doing and found it.

Lou Yuzhu pursed her lips, winked at Lou Hua and said, "Big brother, grandpa told you to go back to the old house with your father for dinner, and you will go." Dad, wash your hands, go over early, don't let grandpa wait for you. ”

Lou Chengyi was really flattered by urging him to go back to the old mansion for dinner, and he thought that his brothers and sisters didn't plan to have anything to do with the old mansion. "Lunch hasn't been made yet,"

"Just me, my second brother, and my father, just eat as much as you want." There are a lot of ready-made eggs, and they can eat a few if they want to eat a few when they are hot and oiled! The white noodles are simpler, take the water and boil it, pour the boiled bone broth, and you can eat a big bowl of fragrant ones!

Lou Chengyi was still a little hesitant, Lou Hua had already guessed Lou Yuzhu's idea, so he didn't want to cut his eyes. Knowing that the meal back to the old house was not delicious, he pushed him out to suffer, and Lou Hua was also a traverser, I am afraid that this will have already vomited, what about good brotherly love?

Lou Yuzhu really doesn't want to go back to the old mansion to suffer the sin of sharing the food, not to mention that the meal is probably not as good as her own meal!

"Big brother, you can go," Lou Yuzhu leaned forward and flattered her face, if she didn't worry about Lou Chengyi's solid buns, who likes to go to the old mansion with him to eat, no matter how delicious it is, it will be indigestion, not to mention that it is not delicious.

Lou Hua was not angry and looked at him. "Don't rush, let's go!"

Hearing this, Lou Chengyi went to wash his hands, came back and smiled dryly in front of Lou Hua. "Da Lang, look at the fish"

"Knowing Dad, I'll catch those two crucian carp."

Lou Chengyi was happy at the moment, and he didn't care that he took the crucian carp instead of Bai Lian, and when Lou Hua brought it out, he immediately took it, for fear that he would be tired of his son. Lou Hua, who looked cautious, was also speechless, and turned around and nodded at Lou Yuzhu: "Then we'll go, and we'll come back after dinner." ”

"Huh!" Seeing Lou Hua leave, Lou Yuzhu sympathized with Lou Hua for going to suffer that crime, and even laughed at Lou Chengyi's excitement. This solid man still thinks that the old mansion invites him to dinner with good intentions, don't you know the proper Hongmen banquet!

In fact, the meal in the old house is really not delicious, Lou Chengzu trained Lou Chengyi from beginning to end in the name of unfilial piety, Lou Hua just watched his father being trained as a dog, and then returned to stared at Lou Chengyi coldly: "If Dad wants to go back, go back alone, I will take Daddy and my second brother Brother Yu together." ”

Immediately, Lou Chengyi, who was a little moved, was poured into his heart. "Da Lang, I don't want to go back."

"It's better," Lou Hua stared coldly at his father. "No matter what the old house says, before Dad makes a decision, it's better to calm down and think about whether it is better for those people in the old mansion who don't care about the life and death of Daddy and Brother Yu'er or us. Daddy is a good citizen now, if he follows Daddy with us, he is also a serious child of a good family, and what about you? Making cows and horses for the old house may end up with no one to pay homage to the incense. ”

"Da Lang!" Lou Chengyi's face was flushed, and he knew in his heart that his son was not good at saying this about the old house, but he felt guilty and had to open his mouth, and it took a long time to hold back the words: "That's your grandfather and grandfather,"

"Shall I be their kiss, and shall they be my kiss?" Lou Hua pursed his lips and looked away. "Dad, I'm putting my words here today. If you use the interests of our three rooms to stick to the old house in the future, my son will help Daddy to make the decision and ask Grandpa to come forward and leave, and I will do it! If you don't believe your father, you can try it! ”

“!!!” Looking at the firmness in Lou Hua's eyes, Lou Chengyi was shocked, chaotic, angry and scared, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

The two went home with their heads bored, and Lou Yuzhu greeted him with a suspicious look: "What's wrong?" ”

Lou Hua smiled stiffly: "It's okay." ”

Lou Yuzhu raised her eyebrows, and said with that expression that she had nothing to fool the ghost? The fox looked at Lou Chengyi suspiciously: "Dad, come on." ”

Lou Chengyi pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal an expression that was more ugly than crying, and said stupidly: "It's really, it's really fine." ”

The two fathers and sons both looked like they didn't want to say it, which made Lou Yuzhu angry and laughed: "It's really okay?" Nacheng, Dad, you go and take the stone snail lion out of two catties and take it to the river to scrub it, rub it twice more at least to rub off the green moss on the surface. ”

Hearing this, Lou Chengyi fished out about two catties of snails and walked to the river, Lou Yuzhu raised his chin and asked Lou Ming to follow, and then avoided the sleeping Fu Linshu and pulled Lou Hua outside the house: "Can you say it now?" ”

Lou Hua pursed his lips: "Uncle reprimanded my father, saying that we should not be separated if we are not filial, let us go back." ”

"Expected. The eldest uncle doesn't care about things, and the second uncle is used to caring about it, so many chores used to be barely done by us, and now we don't have three rooms, and it is estimated that we have to talk twice a day for the sake of work. "The stability of the Lou family is based on the three rooms, this old man Lou should know, but unfortunately he was confused at the time and saw that he wanted to involve Lou Chengzu, so he agreed to split the family, so Lou Yuzhu took advantage of Lou Chengzu's absence to write the separation documents and left in a hurry, in order to be afraid that the old man Lou would regret it after calming down, after all, if you want to live together, you don't see you when you look up, and the old man Lou wants to regret the separation, then it will be troublesome.

Lou Hua hooked his lips, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "When I went, Brother Ming and Brother Jin'er's expressions were not quite right, I was afraid that I had quarreled." ”

"The! We used to be united against us, but now that we're gone, it's time for them to fight! Didn't you scold us for being lazy before? It's time to let him know what it means to be lazy! By the way, which room cooks at noon? ”

"It should be an uncle."

Xu Chunting said that he was a talented daughter-in-law, these housework chores have never reached out, in the past, every turn to the stove in the big room was on the roof of the third room, but now the third room is not in the second room, Ji Xiaorong is not that generous, Xu Chunting still wants to use embroidery as an excuse to do nothing, that can't be done. Thinking of this, Lou Yuzhu hooked her lips again, and said with a smile to Lou Hua: "Big brother, let's wait, the days of the old mansion have just begun, and when the farm is busy and the vegetables in the garden are finished, the people in the old mansion are estimated to be able to fight in order to do less work." By the way, Dad didn't agree to go back, did he? ”

"Dad didn't agree or object, he just said to go home and think about it."

Lou Chengyi's temperament is more indecisive than lenient, and if he didn't object on the spot, he was a little moved. "Dad thinks that if you can sell fish for money, everything will be fine?" After speaking, he snorted coldly: "Innocent! And after that? ”

"After that, I said that I would change my name, but my grandfather didn't agree and said that they all lived in the same village and there was no need to change it."

In the heart of the old man Lou, Lou Yuzhu could expect that he had already thought that changing the name would touch the nerves of the old man Lou, and it was certain that he would disagree, but the old man Lou thought that the third room of the house would be at his mercy? Oh, he's beautiful! "What did Daddy say?"

"It's also about going home and thinking about it." Saying that, Lou Hua pursed his lips: "On the way back, I told my father that if I wanted to go back, he would go back alone, and also said that if my father would take the interests of the three rooms to stick to the old house in the future, he would ask his grandfather to come forward and leave, and we told my father to let him go back to the old house alone." ”

Lou Yuzhu blinked, no wonder Lou Chengyi's face was so ugly just now. "Where's Big Brother? What do you think? ”

"Of course it's impossible to go back, and this title must be changed." Lou Chengyi was moved by what he said, but he didn't. "Uncle has been talking for so long but he hasn't said a word about paying back the money to the third room, heh, it's just that my father is stupid to believe that the old house is for his good."

"You don't know Daddy's indecisive temperament, this is his disadvantage and advantage, so if you want to completely break away from the control of the old house, you can't rely on your father, after all, we still have to rely on ourselves to stand up. Especially the eldest brother, you are the eldest son of the third room, and you will need to make up your mind in this family in the future. ”

Lou Hua nodded: "I'll go to the old house tomorrow on behalf of my father to say it, and I won't go back, this title is changed anyway, and it depends on them whether the old house is changed or not." ”

Hearing this, Lou Yuzhu shook his head and said, "Big brother, don't say it. If you take the old mansion too seriously to encourage their arrogance, why don't you cold them and say what you want to do to let the old mansion say, it doesn't matter for us to run back. ”

"In this way, will it make people gossip?"

Lou Hua was still a little hesitant, Lou Yuzhu looked at him and said earnestly: "No one is perfect, even today's Confucianism will be scolded for selling fame and reputation, not to mention our small Zhuang family?" "The purpose of making the Virgin Mary of the three-room element is to divide the family, and now that the family is divided, of course, we must get rid of the image of the Virgin, and the Virgin Mary has been going down to stay in the three-room life, and it is not inertial that people think that they need to help the old house? It's better to be gossiped about now than to be pointed at and scolded for hypocrisy in the future. "The people of the old house are used to being selfish and messing around, and it will never be clear to break with them, if it is cold, it will be so cold that they will stop when they know that they will not get any benefit from us."

"Okay, just do as you say!"

The brothers said that Lou Hua would go to work, and Lou Yuzhu looked at Lou Hua's back and was worried. What the old house did has affected Lou Hua's psychology, and it is certain that his personality will be distorted for a long time, but fortunately, now that he has separated from the influence of the old house, he hopes that he will be slowly guided back on track.
