Chapter 234
It's all at the doorstep, so there's no reason not to go in.
Lu Xiaoyi entered the courtyard with a big grin, Lu Zhong shook his head with a smile, and beckoned Yu Liang to come into the house and sit.
Xiao Rui was sitting on the threshold and nibbling on a freshly baked scone, just like Xiao Geng eating a sugar box when he was a child, like a little squirrel eating pine nuts, seeing Lu Xiaoyi coming, he was not in a hurry to call the eldest sister, and slowly chewed the cake in his mouth before he said: "Back again?" ”
The corners of Lu Xiaoyi's mouth twitched, this little villain, she had only been married for a few days, and he treated her as an outsider.
Xiao Rui saw that the eldest sister's face was not good, and hurriedly added: "I miss my sister." ”
Lu Xiaoyi's face turned cloudy, and he ran over to hug Xiao Rui and kiss him, and Xiao Rui covered his face with half a scone in disgust.
The twisted melon was not sweet, Lu Xiaoyi let go of him, snorted, and followed Yulan to the stove room.
At this time, Sister-in-law Hua, Sister-in-law Liu and Wang Dongmei were baking cakes, Xiaoding was also helping, and Mrs. Lu was sitting on the side and listening to their cooking.
As soon as Lu Xiaoyi, the main force of scones, appeared, it aroused the jokes of Sister-in-law Hua and Sister-in-law Liu, and they all praised Yulan's daughter for marrying well and could be seen at any time.
Yulan made an analogy with a magpie again, and Sister-in-law Hua thought that the magpie could come back at any time like Xiao Yi in the future, and she smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth.
Sister-in-law Liu deliberately said: "Okay, you are all smart people, I am a fool alone, marrying my daughter so far away, I deserve to see him once or twice a year." ”
Yulan and Sister-in-law Hua were about to make a few jokes, but Mrs. Lu answered: "What are you pretending?" Is a mountain far away? ”
Sister-in-law Liu has long been accustomed to Mrs. Lu's way of speaking, and said with a smile: "What about Second Aunt Lu." When encountering some big mountains and mountains, one can top several! ”
Mrs. Lu pursed her mouth, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence, and turned her head to ask Xiao Yi, "Why are you back today?" What about the surplus? ”
"Coming along, he was talking to his dad outside." Then, Lu Xiaoyi told him about asking Zhang Tieniu to help sell mountain goods.
"How many rabbits did you hit?" Mrs. Lu asked.
"Three rabbits, one pheasant." Xiao Yi answered truthfully.
Mrs. Lu said: "Hares and pheasants don't have much oil and water. ”
Magnolia said with a smile: "For those who are used to eating big fish and meat, pheasants and hares are just what they like, while those who eat less meat all year round prefer to eat fatty meat with heavy oil and gas." ”
Sister-in-law Hua said: "Birds are like partridges. Beasts are like rabbits. The pheasants and hares were taken to the big restaurants in the city and sold very well. In order to increase the persuasiveness, Sister-in-law Hua added: "This is all what Luo Lao Hunt told my family, saying that the prey they hunted in the mountains will not be sold in the city." ”
It's good not to worry about selling, Lu Xiaoyi is at ease. Magnolia's heart couldn't settle down. said to Xiao Yi: "It's okay to let Tie Niu help deliver the goods." The surplus grain of the province goes into the city twice in three days, but you also have to remind the surplus grain. Be vigilant when hunting, don't think that the mountains and forests are safe, and it's not a joke to sneak a beast from the deep mountains! ”
Lu Xiaoyi nodded.
Sister-in-law Hua said: "Why don't I talk to Luo Laolie, let Yu Liang learn some experience from him, and follow them into the mountains in the future." ”
Lu Xiaoyi didn't want to go to the mountains to take risks with the surplus food, so she just felt that she could just hunt rabbits and pheasants in a safe forest, plus her income from doing some side business, her life would not be too bad, so she smiled and said to Sister-in-law Hua: "Aunt Hua, Brother Liang hunting is a halfway monk, not the kind of person who has followed his elders to hunt since he was a child, he can hunt some hares and pheasants, which big beasts he encounters, and it is easy to make mistakes due to lack of experience." ”
Sister-in-law Hua understood what Lu Xiaoyi meant, and said with a smile: "That's right, like Luo Mengzi, who has been hunting in the mountains with his father since he was a child, and other hunters in Shangxi Village, are all old hunters for generations. ”
Yulan said: "Liangzi is used to fighting alone, and it is definitely not good to pay attention to cooperation, forget it, so let's just hunt some rabbits and pheasants in the nearby forest." ”
A few people stopped talking about the subject.
Lu Xiaoyi said: "Mother, how are Bingyu's family preparations going?" ”
"Almost, your grandfather, your father, and your uncle are all helping with the preparations."
Mrs. Lu pursed her mouth: "A nerd in a big house, can't carry a basket on his shoulders, from the very beginning of renovating the yard, to Jiawei's marriage, to running a flowing water banquet, and now to Bingyu's marriage, it's not our second room people to help prepare, it's funny to say it!" ”
Yulan said: "Mother, isn't my cousin also learning?" ”
"Don't mention him, a room full of people counts him as the most stupid!" Mrs. Lu complained: "I don't know how to be flexible, I think everything is like what is written in the book!" Books are dead, people are alive, I don't understand this truth, no wonder I haven't been able to pass the exam for many years! ”
Lu Xiaoyi heard some unusual signs, leaned into Xiao Ding's ear, and whispered, "Grandmother, what's wrong?" ”
"I'm angry with my cousin." Xiao Ding pretended to go out with Xiao Yi to fish for cakes, but in fact, he explained the reason to Xiao Yi in detail.
It turned out that Lu Si came to Lu Shouzeng this morning, saying that the things he had purchased recently did not match the accounts, not that there was less money, but that there were more things, and asked Lu Shouzeng if he had advanced money in private, and he wanted to fill in the money.
Lu Shouzeng explained that some things were bought in large quantities, so he asked the store to give some away, and Lu Si asked the store why they were sending, whether it was bad or not enough weight. Lu Shouzeng took Lu Si to weigh and check on the spot, and patiently explained some common sense to Lu Si about purchasing, saying that the store will achieve the purpose of winning over guests by giving away things, and the guests will also have a good impression of the store because of the extra things, so that the guests will come to this store to buy goods next time.
Lu thought about it, and suddenly realized, thanks to Lu Shouzeng for his teaching. It was originally a very normal little common sense, but it was really unheard of for him, a scholar who studied hard all year round and did not ask about the world, no wonder Mrs. Lu wanted to scold him for being a nerd.
Lu Xiaoyi said with a smile: "Uncle Cousin is also quite cute, although he reads poetry and books, he is a nerd who doesn't understand common sense of life." ”
Xiao Ding said: "Yes, but although my cousin is stupid, his heart is not bad, he is afraid that his grandfather will advance the money himself, so he has to come and ask for clarification." ”
"Well, if you let your aunt and uncle know, you will definitely put the extra money into your private nest."
Lu Xiaoyi's guess was right, Mrs. Lu knew about this and said bitterly that Lu Si was a fool. And try to teach him some dexterity. Lu Si's daughter-in-law even blew the pillow wind, wanting her husband to learn to save a private nest. Fortunately, although Lu Si has little common sense in life, his three views are correct, and everything is based on the teachings of the saints, not only did he lose hope in Mrs. Lu, but he also reprimanded his daughter-in-law fiercely, and became more and more cold to her.
On the day of Bingyu's marriage, Lu Xiaoyi and the surplus grain packed up and came down the mountain with congratulatory gifts, and now she has her own small home. People and worlds must be based on a small family. Get active and get moving. Meet up with your mother's family first, and then go to the big house together.
Qi Shan is a lively and sophisticated person, not only sending rich gifts, but also providing a horse as a mount for the groom.
Lu Xiaoyi saw Bingyu wearing a red wedding robe. Wears a red talent hat. Hang red silk and wear saffron. There was a faint smile on his face. Lu Xiaoyi rarely saw Bingyu laughing, and he had always smiled faintly with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and now he was riding on a tall horse. It was a proud day of the spring breeze, but it was still the same faint smile.
If you are another groom official, if you smile lightly like this, you will definitely be picked on by the villagers and spread rumors that you are unhappy or something. But Bingyu is different, he is a knowledgeable Xiucai, Xiucai has a light smile, which is an elegant smile that is in line with Xiucai's identity, and the villagers have praised Bingyu's good demeanor.
Lu Xiaoyi couldn't guess the true thoughts of the personable Bingyu, after all, Bingyu's shoulders were different from her, she had her father and mother on her head, her father and mother had grandparents and maternal grandparents on her head, and her father and mother were supported by uncles and aunts and aunts. As for Bingyu, only an elderly Mrs. Lu is struggling to support it, and at present, it seems that the relationship between the big house and the second room is familiar, Lu Fuzeng and Lu Si are slowly landing, and Mrs. Lu and Lu Si's daughter-in-law continue to be pig-headed teammates, thank God if they don't pull their hind legs.
Compared with the two, Lu Xiaoyi is much happier than Lu Bingyu, Bingyu is the hope of the big house, Mrs. Lu handed over the heavy responsibility to him, and the young man gritted his teeth and picked it up no matter how hard and tired he was.
Lu Xiaoyi watched the welcoming team slowly move away, let out a long sigh, and silently wished Bingyu to welcome back a strong foreign aid for herself, so that she would not suffer this burden alone.
Mrs. Lu is very happy today, her long-cherished wish in life is Bingyu to help her come true, Bingyu is her most valued junior, so, Bingyu got married, Mrs. Lu burst out of unprecedented joy, not only on crutches to inspect the new house in person, but also specially thanked the relatives and friends who came to congratulate.
Lu Xiaoyi looked at this rejuvenated old grassroots, and his heart was happy and sad, happy because of the perseverance and unyielding reflected on the old lady, and sad because of the helplessness of life when the oil ran out.
As soon as the welcoming team left, the female dependents gathered together to have a family meal.
Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu were worried that something bad would happen on the big day, so she deliberately separated Mrs. Lu and asked her to go next door to talk to the women in the village, while Mrs. Lu put it under her nose to prevent her from causing trouble.
So good, peaceful and peaceful.
Lu Xiaoyi sat down next to Yulan and Xiaoding, listening to Mrs. Lu's eyebrows dancing and telling interesting stories about Bingyu's childhood.
Lu Xiaoyi quietly asked Yulan, only to learn that this woman was Jia Wei's mother-in-law.
Lu Xiaoyi looked at this person carefully, only to see that she had a round face and white flesh, she spoke softly when she spoke, and she also had a faint smile when she didn't speak, she didn't look like that kind of weak person, but she couldn't see a mean face, so she should be a smart and skillful person.
Jia Wei's mother-in-law is here, and Jia Wei must have come back, but Lu Xiaoyi hasn't seen Jia Wei yet, and I don't know how Jia Wei is doing after more than a year of marriage?
Just thinking about it, Lu Si's daughter-in-law took Jia Wei into the house, Jia Wei's eyes were slightly red, and she looked like she had just cried.
Mrs. Lu was immediately unhappy, glanced at Lu Si's daughter-in-law fiercely, and then said to Jia Wei with a smile: "Your mother-in-law rarely comes over, and she is not familiar with life, so you should accompany her more." ”
Jia Wei saluted Mrs. Lu, "Great-grandmother taught me a lesson. After speaking, he stood beside his mother-in-law in a proper manner.
Lu Xiaoyi took a look and found that Jia Wei had lost a lot of weight, and her previously tall eyebrows and eyes were now lowered, and her mother-in-law didn't tell her to sit, she kept standing.
Lu Si's daughter-in-law sat down beside the woman of the Huang family with a dark face, and stretched out her hand to pull Jiawei over and sit down.
Jia Wei didn't move, and Lu Si's daughter-in-law glanced at the Huang family woman fiercely.
The woman of the Huang family smiled: "Jia Wei is a sensible person, and among the three daughters-in-law, she is the one I love the most." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Jia Wei to his side and sit down, and said to Mrs. Lu with a smile: "Aunt and grandmother, don't worry, I have always treated Jia Wei as my own daughter." ”
Lu Si's daughter-in-law said coldly: "Jia Wei's younger brother is a talent, and he will be admitted to the rank of official in the future, Jia Wei married your Huang family, it is a low marriage, you don't treat her well, and you grind her as thin as a bamboo pole, this is what you said about treating her as your own daughter?" ”
The woman of the Huang family's face stiffened, and quickly changed to a sarcastic smile, "In-laws, if you teach your daughter well, do you still need my mother-in-law to discipline her?" ”
Lu Si's daughter-in-law gritted her teeth angrily, "Don't pretend to be a good person, it's not your stomach that jumps out, how can you feel distressed?" ”
The woman of the Huang family was still smiling, "I also have a daughter, I can discipline Jia Wei as much as I discipline my daughter, is it not fair for me to do this?" If you are not pleased, I can discipline my daughter-in-law in the same way I would discipline her. ”
Lu Si's daughter-in-law was angry, except for glaring angrily, she couldn't speak.
Mrs. Lu said: "Si daughter-in-law, it's not me saying you, you really can't discipline children, look at how well my Yulan disciplines Xiaoyi and Xiaoding, capable and smart, how can you teach a young lady, if it weren't for my mother to help you discipline you for a year......"
Mrs. Lu interrupted: "Okay, just listen!" ”
Mrs. Lu pursed her mouth, "It's not good to be honest." ”
Mrs. Lu yelled, "Shut up! ”
Mrs. Lu was angry and turned to face Xiao Yi Xiaoding.
Mrs. Lu glanced at Mrs. Lu with disgust, and said coldly to Lu Si's daughter-in-law: "Daughter-in-law Si, there is nothing wrong with you here, you go to the stove room to help, and see how the wedding banquet is prepared." ”
Lu Si's daughter-in-law got up and walked out angrily.
Mrs. Lu smiled again and said to the Huang family's woman: "I know this child Jia Wei best, although he is a little delicate, his nature is not bad. I still say the same thing, since she married into your Huang family, she is your Huang family, and in the future, you should be in charge of what you should do, and what you should say, you have to worry a lot! ”
The woman of the Huang family is a delicate person, and said to Mrs. Lu with a smile: "Aunt and grandmother, our two families are real relatives, and relatives pay attention to a sincere relationship, I will also tell you the truth, Jia Wei was a little delicate when she first entered the door, and I often mentioned her a few words when I was a mother-in-law, she was a little uncomfortable at first, and then she slowly got used to it. ”
Mrs. Lu nodded with satisfaction, "You are a smart person, Jia Wei will leave it to you, I can rest assured." ”
Jia Wei smiled lightly: "Thanks to my mother-in-law for often mentioning it, otherwise I would still be living in the clouds." After speaking, Jia Wei looked at Lu Xiaoyi.
Lu Xiaoyi sensed her eyes, the two looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled, Lu Xiaoyi felt that Jia Wei was saying to her, not only was she a little sad, but her life must have been difficult for more than a year, otherwise she would not have understood it so quickly, and even learned to take the opportunity to express her gratitude to her mother-in-law.
