Chapter 82
After eating, Yulan went to clean up the cups, plates and bowls first, and Xiaoyi Xiaoding helped wash them.
Lu Zhong made a pot of tea, talking with Yu Liang in the hall, Xiao Geng was a little drowsy after eating, leaning on Lu Zhong's arms with his eyes half-closed, his little head pecked little by little, at first he could still struggle to raise his eyes to look at people, and then he surrendered to the sleepy god, and fell asleep with his head tilted.
By the time Yulan finished cleaning up, Xiao Geng had already fallen asleep, and the small wooden ball that he was originally holding in his hand also slid down and rolled to the ground.
Yulan scolded with a smile: "Is it a piglet?" When you are full, you snooze. Then carefully carried him to the next room, Xiao Ding sensibly went over to accompany him, and brought him a fan to repel mosquitoes.
Lu Zhong and Yu Liang sat face to face, Lu Xiaoyi deliberately sat down next to Lu Zhong, and quietly winked at Yu Liang, Yu Liang's originally faint blush climbed up his cheeks again, and he lowered his eyes and didn't look at her.
Yulan came over to pour tea, sat down next to Xiao Yi, and began to talk about business.
Lu Zhong raised his head first, coughed, and said, "Liangzi, I heard Xiao Yi say that a dart game you know is going to change careers?" β
Yu Liang said: "Yes, there is such a thing. β
"I don't know if it's settled?"
Yu Liang thought about it and said truthfully: "The business of the dart bureau is light and I have long planned to change my career, as for which line to change, it must not have been decided, I haven't gone to the dart bureau to inquire for a while, and I don't know." β
Lu Zhong said: "Our scone business is getting better and better, I have to sell cakes and take care of the crops by myself, so I can't be busy at all." Otherwise, you can take me to talk to them as one of them. β
Yu Liang hurriedly got up: "Go now." β
"Don't be in a hurry, I'll talk about it when you're free." Lu Zhong waved his hand and motioned for Yu Liang to sit down. Yu Liang unconsciously glanced at Lu Xiaoyi, and saw that her eyes were crooked, she must be laughing at him, and her face couldn't help but turn even redder, and she couldn't sit or stand.
Yulan said kindly: "Sit and say, sit and say, this child is too honest, so familiar and restrained." β
Yu Liang sat down slowly, didn't look at Lu Xiaoyi, only stared at Lu Zhong and said, "Uncle Zhong, I want to go into the city to sell some hares and pheasants." You wait for me to go back and pack up. We'll be in town in the afternoon. β
So much better.
The surplus grain went back to clean up, and Lu Zhong was also busy loading cakes on the donkey cart.
Yulan was puzzled, "You are going to talk about business in the afternoon, what are you doing with cookies?" β
Lu Zhong smiled. "You don't understand. This cart cake is of great use. β
"Why don't you give it to the people in the dart board?"
Lu Xiaoyi laughed. "Mother, how can anyone send a cart of scones to someone, not to mention that there are a lot of carts of cakes. If you vomit the people in the dart game, you can't talk about it. β
Yulan glanced at her, "I'm reluctant to give it away!" β
"Mother, whether our cakes are good or not is not blown out of the mouth, my father must want to take the people of the dart bureau to see how a cart of cakes is snatched, the facts are in front of them, they are convinced that this is done." After speaking, Lu Xiaoyi shouted at Lu Zhong: "Dad, am I right?" β
"Yes, yes, our girl has a smart brain, and she can understand a lot of things."
Yulan pursed her mouth and reached out to poke Lu Xiaoyi's forehead, "My smart brain is also thanks to my diligence!" β
Lu Xiaoyi nodded in agreement, and even stretched his head closer to Yulan, "Poke again, I want to be smarter." β
Yulan said angrily: "Is there a rule? I've been in Pi Lai Pi all day, and one day I'm free, so I'm going to find a wicker to slap your ass and swell. β
Lu Xiaoyi grinned and grabbed Yulan's arm, making her laugh coquettishly.
Thinking of confessing to Yu Liang, Lu Xiaoyi's heart was sweet, even if they were in love, they had to go through the words of a serious matchmaker and the order of their parents to make it happen. At present, it seems that the matchmaker is easy to find, and the parents also agree, but the boiled duck can also fly, and if the matter is not settled as soon as possible, Lu Xiaoyi will not be at ease.
Since she took the initiative to confess her love, she had to think about it early and plan for many follow-up problems, thinking of the Qin matchmaker she had seen in the morning, Lu Xiaoyi thought tactfully a few times, and decided to give Yulan a preventive injection, what kind of effect can be produced by the appropriate amount of pressure, Lu Xiaoyi can't say for sure, so she can only do it and observe.
"Mother, I'll go to Brother Liang's house in the morning, who do you guess I met?" Lu Xiaoyi pretended to be mysterious.
"Who? His family is quite partial, and he usually has little contact with people in the village, you let me guess, I really can't guess! β
"Our village's Qin matchmaker! Hehe, she went to say goodbye to Brother Liang. Lu Xiaoyi said very easily.
Yulan listened to her heart, how could she let others take the lead in helping her girl find a good guy, but this matter was her wishful thinking as a mother, although she didn't know what the two children thought about on weekdays, but seeing that the two children got along well on weekdays, she wanted to wait for two years to tell the two of them about it, but the age of the surplus grain was not waiting for anyone, and it was natural for a matchmaker to come to the door to say goodbye.
Lu Xiaoyi kept staring at Yulan, unwilling to miss any of her expressions, only to see Yulan's brows furrowed slightly, looking a little anxious, and soon smiled: "Really?" This is a good thing, I don't know the girl from the family that Qin matchmaker told Liangzi. β
Lu Xiaoyi learned the tone of Qin Matchmaker, crossed her waist and repeated her original words, "My Qin Matchmaker is also the number one in the row of ten miles and eight villages, just like you, a poor boy who has no elders in the family, no output in the field, a poor person who can't open the pot, and a lot of debts, if you have a matchmaker to help you match, you should kowtow Thank God, with a family like yours, it is also a blessing for you to find a delicate little widow in your previous life!" β
Yulan's face suddenly darkened, and she scolded: "What a bad mother-in-law, doing a good thing of pulling the red thread to get married, but what kind of ability is it to watch people put down dishes and bully a lonely young man?" Bah! If I were here, I would have to stand up for the grain! Yulan also vented her impatience with her strength, and now she is going to bite the gold halfway, and impatience is inevitable.
"What do you say?"
Lu Xiaoyi grinned and said, "Brother Liang shut Mrs. Qin out of the door. β
Yulan's face was much better, and she said with a smile: "No wonder this kid has been blushing, thinking that he is panicking." β
"Mother, today I left a matchmaker Qin, will there be a matchmaker tomorrow? Brother Liang is kind to us, and he is kind to us...... He's going to marry a daughter-in-law, and he's going to take us to play... Will it be separated from our family..."The more Lu Xiaoyi spoke, the more entangled he became, and he deliberately paused at the end.
Yulan secretly calculated in her heart. said on his lips: "Men should marry and women should marry, and if they don't marry, they will make jokes." I look at this kid well, I can't let those snobbish matchmakers hurt him, take the time to discuss with your father, don't worry about it. β
Lu Xiaoyi's goal was achieved, and he smiled even more happily.
Yu Liang came with a string of hare pheasants, and he came over in good spirits.
Lu Xiaoyi's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that Yu Liang's cheeks were smooth, he must have scrubbed it many times. The flush recedes to reveal normal sun-kissed skin.
Lu Zhong drove the donkey cart and was ready to go.
Lu Xiaoyi shouted to follow. Yulan found a set of lotus root pink cotton skirts for her to change into, and fetched water for her to wipe her face and hands, and after a splash, her wet bangs were rubbed on her forehead indiscriminately. I don't care about the sticky ones. Roaring and running to the donkey cart. I wanted to reach out and ask Yu Liang to pull her, but thinking of her father's presence, she hurriedly turned her hand towards Lu Zhong. was picked up and slipped into the car, pretending to be naΓ―ve (not ashamed) and sitting down next to the surplus grain.
Lu Zhong shouted, whipped and pulled the rope, and drove towards the city.
Along the way, the three of them didn't talk much, occasionally Lu Zhong turned around and asked, and the rest of the time the rest of the time the rest of the grain looked at the pile of prey placed at his feet, Lu Xiaoyi followed his eyes, the hare was gray and gray, and the pheasants were colorful, stacked together, revealing long pheasant feathers.
Yu Liang bent down slightly, lowered his hand to pick among the gorgeous feathers, picked a long yellow-gray tail feather, staggered with black horizontal spots, plucked it and handed it to Lu Xiaoyi, and his eyes motioned for her to take it.
Lu Xiaoyi stared at him and paused for a moment, okay, his face turned red again.
A young man who loves to blush very much, Lu Xiaoyi likes it so much, happily took the pheasant feather and thanked him.
Lu Zhong heard the movement and turned his head to look, "The pheasant feathers we have here are not long, otherwise they can be sold for a good price." β
Lu Xiaoyi turned the pheasant feather in his hand and asked, "Dad, is this stuck in the head of the military general in the play?" β
Lu Zhong nodded, "In the play, the military general inserts two long pheasant feathers, which looks mighty and domineering. β
Lu Xiaoyi inserted the feather in his hand into the bun on one side, and asked Yu Liang with a smile: "Do you see that I am mighty and domineering?" β
Yu Liang smiled, reached out to help her take off the feather, and as if he was juggling, he pulled out a rose-red bone from his sleeve pocket and handed it to her.
Lu Xiaoyi saw that Lu Zhong was concentrating on the car and didn't look back, bit her lower lip, tilted her head to send her hair bun forward, and motioned for Yu Liang to help her.
Feeling the slight touch, the roots of the hair and even the scalp were numb, and Yu Liang quickly inserted the flower bones into the bun, and then sat up straight and coughed lightly.
Lu Xiaoyi also pretended to sit up straight, knowing that she couldn't see it, she rolled her eyes and looked at the top of her head, and then reached out and touched it carefully, and smiled contentedly after touching the real thing.
After entering the city, there was surplus grain to guide the way, and the group first went to a restaurant to sell wild things, and then went to the Qishan Dart Bureau.
Yu Liang stepped forward and knocked on the door, and with the sound of the door, Qi Feng's handsome face appeared in front of him.
"Ouch grain, I haven't seen you in a few days, I miss me." As he spoke, he began to move his hands and feet on Yu Liang, either patting his shoulder or hammering his chest, and after making a fuss, he saw Lu Zhong's father and daughter behind Yu Liang.
"Ouch tomboy, I haven't seen you in a few days, I want to ...... Cough! Cough! The latter words couldn't be answered, and Qi Feng laughed.
Lu Xiaoyi's face was black, and he was completely speechless about Qi Feng, the second goods.
Yu Liang introduced Lu Zhong with a smile, Qi Feng made a gesture of invitation after saluting, and invited them into the house sideways, and the appearance of the rules was the same as the two of them just now.
Lu Xiaoyi came to the Qishan dart game for the second time, and the first time he was thrown to the center of the earth by the second goods, and he didn't care to look at the furnishings in the dart game; This time the mood was different, from the moment she entered the door, her eyes lit up, not only to understand the living environment of Yu Liang, but also to observe whether the layout of the dart board could be transformed into a shop.
As soon as she was outside the gate, she silently assessed the face of the dart board, the location of the street is very good, if the door wall is smashed open and converted into a street pavement, the opening is not small.
Entering the courtyard, look around, it is similar to the small courtyard of the Lu family's big house in the city, and it is also similar to the small courtyard of the farmhouse in Xiaxi Village, which is a typical local residential style in Lu country. Some are like the triple courtyard of the previous life, there is an ear room on each side of the three main rooms, there are three east and west wing rooms and the main room are arranged in the shape of "product", there is no inverted seat room opposite the main house, only the courtyard wall.
On both sides of the straight stone road, there are few flowers and grasses, and there are many wooden stakes, three middle-aged dart masters exercise their arm strength in the corner of the courtyard, two of them are beating the wooden stakes, and the other squats and lifts the boulder, the shoulders are wet and sticky to the body, and the shoulder blades and arm muscles that are exposed are bulging, looking strong and powerful.
Seeing Qi Feng and his party coming, the middle-aged man who lifted the big stone shouted, the big stone in his hand was still on the ground, the dull impact sound, Lu Xiaoyi's liver trembled, she had to think about whether there would be sales if such a muscular hunk sold scones; Or maybe these muscular hunks think selling scones is an insult to their personality, and they snap her with knives.
Lu Xiaoyi shuddered, took Lu Zhong's hand, and brought him to Yu Liang's side, there are acquaintances who are easy to talk to.
Lu Zhong thought she was frightened, patted her head as reassuring, and then turned sideways to protect her behind him.
The middle-aged macho man who squatted and lifted the boulder was Qi Feng's father and the head of the Qishan Dart Bureau: Qi Shan. At first glance, he is a Lian family, about forty years old, with a square face and beard, thick eyebrows, big eyes and a high nose bridge, full of middle energy, and a very loud voice when he speaks, "There is a loss of welcome!" There is a long way to go! Inside, please! (To be continued......)
