Lu Shouzeng walked in front with his hands behind his back, Lu Zhong and Lu Yong followed closely, Xiaoyi Xiaoding followed in a regular manner, but Lu Pozi was not, and frequently stopped to chat with the women in the village.

Lu Xiaoyi saw her grandfather looking back frequently, his face became more and more impatient, and he hurriedly ran over, pulled away Mrs. Lu, who was chatting, and whispered: "Grandmother, go quickly, grandfather is going to be angry." ”

Mrs. Lu looked forward, and it happened that Lu Shouzeng turned around, and Mrs. Lu hurriedly made a positive walking look.

Lu Xiaoyi reminded: "Grandmother, don't talk about the big house, grandfather will be unhappy, and great-grandmother will be unhappy." ”

Mrs. Lu disdainful: "There are so many people standing outside the courtyard of the big house listening to the root of the wall, do you think this matter can be hidden?" Moreover, there is no secret in our village, if you fart in the east of the village in the morning, the time for a meal will be spread to the west of the village, and even whether you put a sauerkraut fart or a broad bean fart are said. ”

Xiao Ding covered his mouth and smiled, Lu Xiaoyi felt that although what Mrs. Lu said was exaggerated, it also reflected how fast the rumors in the village spread.

Mrs. Lu said again: "Take the heartless man of the Qi family, people in the village talk about him a lot, and people often ask me to inquire, especially those who have girls, hum!" I can't see their little bit of ghostly thoughts, I just don't bother to talk to them. ”

Lu Xiaoyi was surprised: "Grandmother, what you said is true?" Is someone really asking you about Brother Feng? ”

"Of course, everyone in the village knows about the hard-working child who has no mother!"

Xiao Yi said curiously: "Grandmother, what do the people in the village say about Brother Liang?" ”

Mrs. Lu glanced in the direction of Shangxi Village. "What else can I say? Fatherless and motherless orphans! The poor family is hard and stuffy. ”

"Is anyone willing to marry a girl to him?"

Mrs. Lu glanced at her, "Unless that person is blind!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi pursed his lips, "That's why the blind man said that." ”

"What do you say?" Mrs. Lu was angry, Lu Xiaoyi grinned, pulled Xiao Ding and ran forward, Mrs. Lu shouted: "Don't run, make it clear." ”

Lu Xiaoyi ignored her, ran home with Xiaoding and hid, Lu Pozi looked for a few laps but didn't find it, and muttered back to the main room.

Magnolia smiled: "She's gone." Come out! ”

It turned out that the two of them were hiding behind the door. Mrs. Lu only cared about rummaging through boxes and cabinets, ignoring the safest place in the most dangerous place.

The two young ladies came out from behind the door, shook the dust on each other with a feather duster, and sat down next to Magnolia with a smile. You and I will tell you everything about the big house. Yulan said: "Stealing chickens doesn't make rice." This time, the old lady hit with a blow and directly broke her thoughts. ”

Xiao Ding's face was sympathetic, "Mother." My cousin was crying so sadly, I felt uncomfortable when I saw it. ”

Yulan said: "Your great-grandmother is also good for her, it is normal for her to not be able to accept crying for a while, and when she is tired of crying enough, she will still accept it slowly." ”

Lu Xiaoyi nodded, "People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic!" Great-grandmother has linked eating to housework, she can't carry it for a few days without eating or drinking, and sooner or later she will have to compromise. Moreover, crying at home and suffering at home is better than marrying someone else's house and being scolded and crying and living a hard life in the future! ”

Xiao Ding sighed, "My cousin's fine skin and tender meat must have to suffer a lot at the beginning!" ”

Yulan said: "Everyone has their own life, don't think too much, just take care of yourself." ”

The young ladies nodded.

In the days that followed, Lu Xiaoyi still heard a lot of rebellion deeds from Ji Luo about Jia Wei's crying hunger strike and seeking death, but unfortunately her wrist was too tender, and Mrs. Lu suppressed her without raising her eyelids, and now she accepted her fate and obediently followed Mrs. Lu to learn housework.

Lu Fuzeng's father and son rushed back from the exam, and their emotions were not too high, and the people in the village speculated that they failed the exam again, some encouraged, some regretted, and some ridiculed.

After all, Lu Fuzeng is a typical example of failing the exam for a long time, and his ability to adjust is very strong, and he opened the museum from the new one on the second day after he came back, and I heard that on the first day of the opening of the library, except for the Bingyu brothers and Shenqiang Liu Bao, all the other students were beaten, and it turned out that they did not complete the reserved courses.

Xiao Geng was also beaten, careful that it was swollen red and bright, like a marinated pig's trotters, Lu Xiaoyi brought him water to soak in water, and then took out the little meat claws and rubbed them, laughing while rubbing, "Na, did you regret it when you were beaten?" ”

Xiao Geng nodded, "Well, especially when the bamboo board is knocked down, I especially regret that I didn't seriously memorize the lessons left by my husband." ”

"There is no regret medicine in the world, this time you have to learn a lesson when you are beaten, and don't make the same mistake again in the future, you know?"

"Eldest sister, but I forgot about it when I played."

Xiao Yi wiped his little hands dry with a cloth towel, "That's because you didn't have a plan." ”

"Eldest sister, what's the plan?"

"The plan is actually very simple, you see how many cakes your mother has to plan every day, how much farm work your father has to plan every day, and your second sister and I also have to plan when to feed pigs and chickens and when to pick vegetables and cook, what about you, you should also learn to make plans, such as when to get up, when to sleep, when to play, read a few pages of books, practice a few pages of words, you can make a plan, you can play with confidence after completing the plan every day, isn't it?"

Xiao Geng thought for a moment and muttered, "I'll give it a try." ”

Xiao Yi patted him on the head and encouraged him: "Well, you try it first!" Also, you're a man now, and you can't play with your temperament like you used to, you know? What should be done and what should not be done, you have to learn to discern and learn to restrain yourself? ”

Xiao Geng nodded, "Got it, eldest sister." ”

"Okay, the redness and swelling on my hands have almost disappeared, I can pinch chopsticks, and my father and mother can't find it!"

Xiao Geng said very seriously: "I'm not afraid if I find out, I didn't do a good job, and I should be trained by my father." ”

Lu Xiaoyi looked at him, and suddenly he was so moved, the little boy in the family finally began to take responsibility.

At this time, a string of cicadas sounded clearly, Lu Xiaoyi followed the voice, and the sound came to a tall weeping willow outside the courtyard wall. In early summer, the small green cicadas perch on the willow trees dancing in the wind, sucking the sap comfortably while feeling the comfort of the willow branches.

Whether you are a little green cicada in a green veil or a big black cicada wrapped in a black robe, whether you are a seven-year-old cicada or a seventeen-year-old cicada, how can you experience the leisurely comfort in the summer breeze without waiting patiently in the darkness of the ground! Patience and ease, cicadas are like this, and so are people. Lu Xiaoyi thought so, shouted in the direction of the cicada's song, and the cicada was silent for a moment, and then hissed again.

As the cicadas chirp more and more intensely, midsummer soon approached.

One day in July, Yulan was sitting in the backyard watching them bake cakes, and suddenly she was hungry to eat scones, Lu Xiaoyi made her a cup of warm brown sugar water, and Yulan ate two scones in one go, and the little doll in her belly was about to come out.

The women present were all from the past, and hurriedly helped Yulan to the front yard, and Mrs. Lu shouted loudly to Lu Zhong in a hurry.

Lu Zhong knew that Yulan's delivery was approaching, and he rarely went to the field to work these days, and stayed at home most of the time.

Several women followed, but Xiao Yi Xiaoding couldn't follow and was responsible for boiling water.

The whole production process was very fast, Lu Zhong had not invited the doctor, and Lu Xiaoyi had not yet boiled hot water, so Yulan gave birth to the little doll.

With a loud cry, another male grandson of the Lu family was born.

As soon as Mrs. Lu saw the doll's little finch, she excitedly stepped forward and teased her twice, two lines of tears flowed down, and she murmured, "Son! Son! It's a son! The expression of joy on her face was even more intense and exaggerated than that of a woman who had given birth to ten daughters in a row and finally hoped for a son!

Sister-in-law Liu urged for hot water, but Mrs. Lu quickly disappeared into the delivery room, and soon appeared in the stove room, yelling at Lu Xiaoyi, blaming her for boiling water too slowly.

Sister-in-law Hua then followed up with the stove, tested the water temperature, and said with a smile: "It's just right." So, he began to fill the water.

Lu Pozi quickly disappeared into the stove room again, as if the roar just now was Lu Xiaoyi's hallucination, and Lu Xiaoyi even believed that Lu Pozi had practiced the teleportation magic skill!

"Aunt Hua, did my mother give birth to a son?" Looking at Mrs. Lu's performance, Lu Xiaoyi guessed it, but she still wanted to confirm it.

Sister-in-law Hua smiled, "Yes, the little meat ball can hurt people, wait until it's cleaned up and take it out for you to see!" After speaking, Sister-in-law Hua went to the front yard with hot water.

Lu Xiaoyi said to Xiao Ding: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

Xiao Ding nodded, "Sister, we can only watch outside, not go into the house." ”

"Well, it's good to listen outside."

When he came to the front yard, Lu Xiaoyi saw that his father was sending off Dr. Wu, her grandfather was sitting outside the door of the main room and said something to Lu Yong with a smile, Lu Jiatianding, the joy on his grandfather's face was different from the usual smile, it was a heartfelt smile, even the wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes were stretched, and he looked ten years younger. Lu Xiaoyi had never seen his grandfather smile like this. Ay! There is really a gap between the comparisons, but she can also understand, after all, the expectations are different, the inheritance is different, as the elder of the family, compared to his grandmother, he has done a good job.

Lu Xiaoyi and Xiao Ding attached themselves to the door frame from left to right, picked up a small gap from the side of the door curtain, looked in curiously, and saw Yulan's head wrapped around her forehead and leaning on a cotton pad, covered with a thin quilt, smiling and talking to Sister-in-law Hua. Mrs. Lu was holding the little swaddling baby with a peony flower on a red background and laughing beautifully on the side, Lu Xiaoyi had never seen Mrs. Lu smile like this, it was a combination of kindness and gentleness, Lu Xiaoyi sighed again: Hey! There is really a gap between contrasts!

Xiao Yi and Xiao Ding became more and more greedy, and before they knew it, the front half of their bodies had already leaned into the house against the door curtain, and when Mrs. Lu saw them, she actually carried the little swaddling clothes to the door for them to see, and said with a smile: "Look, how handsome it looks like, I have never seen such a handsome little doll." ”

Lu Xiaoyi took a closer look, and saw that the little flesh ball with red skin was sleeping sweetly, with shallow eyebrows and thin eyelashes, a small nose breathing gently, and a small mouth like a little dumpling with two ends, very cute, as cute as all the newborn babies she had ever seen, but to say that the most handsome, Lu Xiaoyi really didn't dare to be exaggerated with Mrs. Lu.
