Sure enough, as soon as he entered the hall and saw a group of people pressed by Hei, grandfather, father, uncle, aunt plus five younger brothers and sisters, Mrs. Lu quickly returned to the position next to Lu Shouzeng and sat down, Yulan sat down next to Lu Zhong, this is waiting for Lu Xiaoyi and Yu Liang to salute.

The two of them respectfully saluted the elders in the family and presented the gifts they had brought back.

Yulan looked at her daughter and son-in-law from head to toe, and saw that her daughter had a ruddy face and a tall son-in-law, and it seemed that the wedding day of the young couple was harmonious.

In addition to Yulan, the other people in the room were also looking at the newlywed couple, and they were very satisfied with their expressions.

Lu Shouzeng said with a smile: "The daughter who gets married is a coquettish guest when she comes home, the eldest family will entertain her, and the second child and I will go to the field to collect some bud rice poles." ”

"Dad, come over for dinner at noon." Lu Zhong had already slaughtered the chickens and bought the meat, and planned to clean up a good meal at noon.

Lu Shouzeng nodded, "Okay, I'll be busy with the second child first." After speaking, Lu Shouzeng got up, and Lu Yong followed.

Lu Zhong took the surplus grain to the next door, Yulan broke Xiao Geng, and there was a group of women left in the hall, Yulan began to ask, from Lu Xiaoyi's sedan chair to today's return to the door, two days and three nights, what did you eat? What do you drink? What are you wearing? Except for sensitive topics, you have to ask them one by one.

Lu Xiaoyi also answered in detail, these questions are not difficult to answer except for trivial points. Moreover, Lu Xiaoyi tried to be as detailed as possible, she knew that the more detailed she was, the more she could reassure Yulan.

When Yulan heard that Yu Liang handed over the money and food to Xiao Yi to take care of on the first day after marriage, she couldn't stop smiling on her face. repeatedly praised Yu Liang as a sensible person. As for how much silver money is left over and how much grain is saved, Yulan doesn't ask, it's not that she doesn't care, but she knows it in her heart.

Let's talk about the silver money first, how much profit Lu Zhong has distributed to the surplus grain over the years, how much income the surplus grain sells in a year, and then deducting the expenses of building a house and marrying his relatives, how much Yulan is left has a rough idea in his heart.

Speaking of grain storage, Yu Liang's family has seen two acres of thin mountain magnolia, the terrain is not good and the surrounding is dense forests. Even if it is reclaimed. Field management is very laborious, in the early stage to prevent rabbits from gnawing seedlings, in the later stage to prevent birds and finches from stealing food, hard work will not have much harvest. It's better to hunt some mountain goods to make money quickly.

And so it goes. The surplus families will not have much to store.

Yulan said to Xiao Yi: "The life of a bachelor is to feed one person and the whole family is not hungry. Now that you have a family, you don't live alone, you have to plan more for the future. As the saying goes, don't panic when you have food in stock, you go back and discuss with the surplus. Take some money and go out to buy some food to store. By the way, he also taught Lu Xiaoyi some knowledge of grain storage.

Yulan's proposal coincided with Xiao Yi's thoughts, although Xiao Yi was a little complacent, she still humbly listened to Yulan's teachings, after all, her little life with Yu Liang had just begun, and it didn't hurt to listen to the advice of the elders.

When cooking lunch, Lu Xiaoyi wanted to help, but Yulan didn't let her help.

"Xiao Ding, you go!" Mrs. Lu began to command people, and then said to Xiao Yi: "You don't have to work when you go home, you wait to eat and do it." ”

Wang Dongmei smiled and handed Xiao Wei to Mrs. Lu, "Yes, feel at ease to be your petite!" I also went to the stove room to help. ”

Lu Xiaoyi really felt at ease and stayed until dinner, and then got up to say goodbye to the rest of the grain.

Yulan brought out the prepared eggs, rice, noodles and vegetables, and advised: "These squeak after eating, I will ask your father to bring them to you again." ”

Yu Liang was a little embarrassed, and politely refused: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will take advantage of the cold winter to hunt more mountain goods, and the money I earn is enough to buy food for the winter." ”

How could Yulan rest assured, when she thought that the Yu family didn't have much food, she couldn't sleep anxiously, but taking care of the face of the surplus grain, Yulan still said euphemistically: "You have just started a family and lived, you can't buy everything enough, you take these grains back first, I will help you live your life first, and I will leave you alone in the future." ”

Yu Liang was grateful, silently remembering the goodness of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, but Lu Xiaoyi accepted it calmly, in her consciousness, she never regarded herself as a married daughter, she should still eat, drink, and take it, of course, she herself would not be estranged from her mother's family because of marriage.

At this time, Mrs. Lu took out two little hens and handed them to Lu Xiaoyi, "Na, I won't give you eggs anymore, these two chickens will be raised, and the eggs laid are enough for the two of you to eat." ”

Lu Xiaoyi took it with a smile and patted the horse and said, "It's still my grandmother who loves me." After speaking, he deliberately touched the silver hairpin on his head.

Mrs. Lu's expression was stunned again, and she was about to hit her, but when she saw Lu Xiaoyi take her hand off the silver hairpin, she breathed a sigh of relief and said in a rough voice: "Take care of it, don't raise it in your mouth." ”

"Don't worry, when they go crazy, I'll let them hatch chicks, keep two into two groups, two groups into many groups, hehe, when the eggs are too many to eat, all filial piety to grandmother." Lu Xiaoyi began to imagine her chicken raising concept again.

Mrs. Lu didn't believe her, and reminded: "The long neck is ten thousand loads of grain, and the two acres of mountainous land of the Yu family are all grassy, how can there be so much grain to feed the chickens?" ”

Lu Pozi's words reminded Lu Xiaoyi that he could try to enclose the barren mountains and put the chickens in it, and eating insects and grass seeds could save a lot of food.

Lu Xiaoyi laughed, "Grandmother, wait, when the time comes, I will honor your ten hens!" ”

"It's better to say than to sing!" Mrs. Lu only bragged about Lu Xiaoyi and urged: "Hurry up, it's getting dark." ”

Lu Zhong brought the donkey, put the grain on the donkey's back, and sent his daughter and son-in-law home before returning.

The two washed and slept, Lu Xiaoyi thought of secretly returning the small porcelain plate wrapped in red cloth to Yulan during the day, Yulan not only blushed, but also glared at her fiercely and stretched out her hand to poke her. ”

Yu Liang was stunned, remembering the small porcelain plate that Lu Xiaoyi said, his face turned red instantly, and he immediately got up and blew out the lamp.

In the dark bedroom, I only heard Lu Xiaoyi shouting: "Hey, I just said a small porcelain plate, didn't I hint at that?" ”

Yu Liang smiled: "For me, this is the hint. ”

From then on, Lu Xiaoyi was happy. Just asked: Strong man, do you want a small porcelain plate? Yu Liang asked her for a few porcelain plates. A serious small porcelain plate, after being forcibly painted with an improper picture, was used by the two of her as a hint between husband and wife, if the small porcelain plate has a heart, it will probably be broken with shame!

After three days of marriage, they were tired of three days, and from the fourth day, Lu Xiaoyi and Yu Liang's days returned to normal.

Lu Xiaoyi got up early to make breakfast, and the surplus grain also got up to carry water. The Yu family is on the mountainside. To carry water, you have to go to the upper reaches of Qixi, because there are no livestock at home, the water consumption is not large, and one load of water a day is enough.

Meal. The surplus grain is dressed in a short brown for hunting. With a bow and a spear in his hand, he was about to set off.

Lu Xiaoyi wanted to follow. Thinking that there was something more important to do, he could only reluctantly send the surplus grain to the small intersection into the mountain, and the black tiger shook his fat body. Like an arrow from the string rushing to the front, Yu Liang whistled, and the black tiger ran back happily and obediently followed Yu Liang.

Seeing a man and a dog disappear at the end of the mountain road, Lu Xiaoyi felt a little lonely, staring at the mountains and forests with yellow leaves, and turned his head to look down the mountain, only to see scattered houses and courtyards scattered on the autumn plain like small boxes, and the familiar courtyard of the Lu family came into view.

What are the mother's family doing at this hour? It's still the same as before she got married! The days of her mother's family will not change because of her marriage, and her days should be like this, thinking of this, Lu Xiaoyi's loneliness in her heart dissipated, and she happily entered the courtyard to bolt the door.

The tanuki was already hungry and meowing at her, and the two hens were also hungry and cackling at her.

Lu Xiaoyi turned out the small dried fish with leftover grain, chopped it and mixed it with gruel to feed the cat, and grabbed some broken rice to feed the chickens, and said to himself: "You are also my companion, there will definitely be an uncomfortable period when you first arrive, give you some good pressure and shock, follow me in the future, and lay more eggs!" ”

The next step was to sort out her dowry, the large items had been arranged, and the small and scattered items she had to be placed in a new category, as well as the quilts, cloths, and the clothes, hats, shoes and socks for the two of them, the wooden boxes for storing money, important keys and common keys, and so on.

Lu Xiaoyi learned a lot of housekeeping knowledge from Yulan, but she will not blindly follow suit, she will integrate her own ideas. After all, family affairs are very trivial, but they are meticulous work, and it will be very tiring to do everything in person, how to achieve twice the result with half the effort, is what Lu Xiaoyi needs to practice and figure out.

After packing up his dowry, it was already noon, and the surplus grain said that he would come back in the afternoon, Lu Xiaoyi made some food casually, and he had no appetite for eating alone, so he began to clean up the belongings of the surplus grain after eating casually. Since it was a newly built house, most of the houses were empty, Lu Xiaoyi familiarized himself with each room in turn, and when he had a bottom in his heart, he began to clean it up.

When you have something to do, you feel that time flies.

Lu Xiaoyi heard Yu Liang calling her outside the hospital, and thought it was an auditory hallucination, until the sound of knocking on the door sounded, Xiaoyi dropped the broom and ran to open the door happily.

The surplus grain was well harvested today, and he had two hares on his shoulders and a pheasant and a hare in his hands.

It's a good feeling to wait for a man to come home, and for a man to come home with a full load of prey! Lu Xiaoyi was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help lift the hare.

Yu Liang handed her the lighter pheasant, and then went to the courtyard and threw the hare down, and shouted out of the courtyard the black tiger, and half a loud sound, a dirty fat dog rushed into the yard, and frightened the tanuki cat to jump on the courtyard wall with its tail upright, and frightened the two little hens to hide quickly.

Yu Liang yelled at it, and the black tiger suddenly obediently came down, lying at Yu Liang's feet and pretending to be cute.

Lu Xiaoyi glanced at it with contempt, and hurriedly went to the stove room to cook a few egg cakes, and heated up her leftover vegetable porridge at noon.

Yu Liang was indeed hungry, a few pieces of cake and a bowl of porridge went into his stomach in the blink of an eye, and when he wiped his mouth, he saw Lu Xiaoyi staring at him, and said embarrassedly: "I'm hungry." ”

Lu Xiaoyi was ashamed: "I should have baked some cakes for you in the morning, blame me for not thinking about it, I won't next time." ”

Yu Liang said that he didn't mind, and he hadn't seen Xiao Yi for most of the day, he still missed her very much, remembered the things he brought her, and quickly brought the satchel and turned out a few small red fruits from it, "This is sweet, the birds in the forest love to eat this kind of red fruit the most." ”

Lu Xiaoyi happily took it, washed it and tasted it, it was really sweet and greasy, Lu Xiaoyi fed him, and shook his head with the remaining grain, he liked sour or sweet.

The surplus grain put away the hares and planned to burn the pheasants at night, but Lu Xiaoyi did not agree, saying that the recent wedding banquet was too good to eat, and it was recommended to eat some home-cooked meals, and keep the mountain goods for sale.

Yu Liang obeyed Lu Xiaoyi's words and planned to go to the city early the next morning to sell mountain goods.

Lu Xiaoyi said: "Brother Liang, autumn is halfway over, take advantage of the fat prey in autumn, you should go hunting tomorrow!" ”

"Wild things can't be left for long."

"I've thought about this a long time ago, let Uncle Zhang help you bring it into the city when you replenish the stock every day, you just need to tell him the address of the restaurant you know, and let him help deliver it, and you can hunt more prey in the time saved!"

"Trouble Uncle Zhang, it's not good." Yu Liang had thought of this method before.

Lu Xiaoyi asked with a smile: "Aunt Qing said that at the end of the year, you will share the profit of plum blossom steamed buns, will you accept it?" ”

Yu Liang shook his head, "It's just a few bags of flowers, why do you want money?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi said: "So, you provide Aunt Qing with flower stuffing for free, and Uncle Zhang will help you deliver the goods, so it doesn't matter if it's troublesome or not." ”

Yu Liang thought about it, felt that this was fine, and said to Xiao Yi with a smile: "You still have a lively brain." ”

Lu Xiaoyi laughed proudly, and only after laughing did he remember that the hour was not early, and urged: "Let's hurry up and go down the mountain, don't miss it with Uncle Zhang." ”

Yu Liang hurriedly loaded the mountain goods into a basket and took Xiao Yi to Lu's house.

When I went to the courtyard of the Lu family, I saw Zhang Tieniu saying goodbye to Lu Zhong, and Yulan was also beside me to explain something.

Lu Xiaoyi shouted excitedly: "Uncle Zhang, great, you haven't left yet!" ”

Zhang Tieniu laughed, "What's wrong, you've heard about it too?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi was puzzled: "What did you hear?" ”

Zhang Tieniu said excitedly: "Hahaha! I'm going to be a dad, I'm finally going to be a dad! ”

Yu Liang and Lu Xiaoyi hurriedly congratulated Zhang Tieniu.

"It's been two months, and I'm going to be a father in eight months, hahaha!" Zhang Tieniu didn't stop laughing, and at the end of the laugh, he drank a few sips of cold air, choked and coughed violently, and his dark cheeks were congested and red like pork liver.

After his mood stabilized a little, Yulan said, "Brother Tie Niu, don't forget what you said just now. ”

Zhang Tieniu nodded like pounding garlic.

Yulan said worriedly: "There is only one woman in the shop, Su Qing, and now that she has a body, it is inconvenient to live in the shop, so it is better to let Su Qing come to my house to raise her." ”

Zhang Tieniu waved his hand, "I have brought her sister-in-law here, and I am very relieved that she will take care of me." ”

Lu Xiaoyi thought of Su Qing's sister-in-law trembling when she saw Zhang Tieniu, and then thought about the way she had to take care of Su Qing for nearly a year, in this year, what kind of mood would she be like when she was like sifting chaff every day! Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoyi smiled unkindly.

After congratulating, Yu Liang explained his intention to Zhang Tieniu, Zhang Tieniu was extremely happy, and without saying a word, he carried the basket containing the prey into the car, asked for the address of the restaurant, and rode away with a big laugh. (To be continued.) )
