Lu Zhong originally thought that the invitation of Yang Tu's family was because of his eldest brother, Yulan temporarily came up with it, as Yang Tu's family came dressed up and carrying a big pork leg, Lu Zhong felt puzzled, through the later conversation and Yang Zhiwen's performance, Lu Zhong also saw the doorway, it turned out that the two families showed each other to their children.

So during lunch, Lu Zhong did not invite Lu Shouzeng and Lu Yong to come over for a drink due to the special situation, but packed some of each dish and sent it to them.

Lu Shouzeng waved his hand and said: "I know that you are filial, and you want to pinch your father's leg when you eat an ant, don't do this in the future, leave it to the guests to eat!" People come and go, and the lack of meat on the dinner table seems that the host is not enthusiastic! ”

Lu Zhong said with a smile: "Dad, I originally wanted to invite you and the second brother to go over for a drink, but today is a little inconvenient, the eldest brother and Brother Yang want to talk about some business matters, so I have to wronged you, I promise that when their matter is over, I will invite you and the second brother to drink some of the whole appetizers!" ”

"Okay, anything! Hurry up and get over there, other guests are waiting for you! Lu Shouzeng waved his hand at Lu Zhong.

Mrs. Lu's face was black all the time, and when she saw that Lu Zhong was leaving, she said in a strange manner: "What's so important, even your father can't go?" It's not like someone is sending pork legs to the door, you want to hide them! ”

Lu Zhong smiled bitterly, "Mother, it's useless, let's just invite Brother Yang to a home-cooked meal, he was too polite and sent a pork leg, how can we accept it?" I'll have to change my way to go back in a while! ”

Lu Shouzeng was so angry that he scolded Mrs. Lu, "You don't do anything all day, what are you staring at the East Courtyard?" A home has been cleaned for a few days, and you want to have nothing to do, don't you? He said to Lu Zhong again: "Hurry up." Don't keep guests waiting. ”

Lu Zhong nodded, turned around and walked out of the main room, Lu Shouzeng's voice scolding Lu Pozi came from behind, Lu Zhong shook his head bitterly and smiled, and only when he arrived in his own hall did he put on a smiling face and beckoned his eldest brother and Yang Tu father and son to take a seat.

Wang Yujin and Yang Tu are both good drinkers, Lu Zhong didn't dare to fight with them to eat vegetables, Yang Zhiwen didn't drink a drop of wine, and ate vegetables in a trance, and his appetite didn't seem to be very good.

Eat lunch. Yang Tu's family is about to leave. Yulan asked Lu Zhong to bring out the hind leg of the pig, such a heavy gift could not be accepted.

The Yang family said that they were unwilling to take it back, and the two families were at a stalemate, but it was Mrs. Wang who came forward and said: "We all tacitly know this matter today." You also value us by sending a pig's hind leg. We understand this feeling. But you must take back the hind legs, only in this way can the two of us talk calmly. Isn't it? ”

Yang Tu's daughter-in-law talked to Mrs. Wang all morning, how she didn't understand what Mrs. Wang meant, and Mrs. Wang was an elder who could talk and make decisions, and it was right to listen to her, so Yang Tu's daughter-in-law replied with a smile: "Blame me, blame me, I love to be confused when I am happy, this pig's hind leg is indeed inappropriate, we will take it back, and invite you to come to my house another day!" ”

Mrs. Wang only nodded and didn't reply, Lu Zhong hurriedly carried the pig's hind leg to Yang Zhiwen, and whoever brought it would of course carry it back.

Yang Zhiwen was in high spirits when he came, and he was in a melancholy mood when he came back, in his consciousness, the Lu family and the Wang family did not accept the pork leg just didn't take a fancy to him, the little deer who had stepped on his heart before, at this time had collapsed on its heart Yo Yo wailing, that kind of sadness, that kind of helplessness, made the young man who was just beginning to love red.

Silently carrying the pig's leg and burying his head in front, Yang Tu and Yang Tu's daughter-in-law slowly discussed something in the back.

On the Lu family's side, Yulan and the Wang family also wanted to discuss this matter, Yulan smiled and said to Chunyun: "Chunyun, you are good at octagonal embroidery, Xiaoyi Xiaoding has been shouting to learn from you earlier, take them to the next room to practice!" ”

Chunyun nodded, smiled and beckoned Xiaoyi Xiaoding to go with her, Xiao Geng also shouted to go, Chunyun beckoned to him, and Xiao Geng followed up.

Lu Xiaoyi pouted and said: This is to discuss my cousin's family affairs, but I don't let my cousin participate, don't you ask my cousin what he means? Thinking about her and Yu Liang again, Lu Xiaoyi's head hung even lower, if she hadn't overheard her father's conversation, she would definitely not know that her matter with Yu Liang had been decided; If it weren't for the fact that she also liked the surplus food, she wouldn't have reacted until now, and her father and mother never asked her what she meant.

Even if she thinks she is young, even if she thinks that Yu Liang has a good character, even if it is because she is close to Yu Liang, and even if it is because she has a leg problem...... No matter how many evens and how many reasons, one undeniable point is: her father and mother never asked her if she liked the surplus food? Would you like to marry him?

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoyi's heart was a little cold and a little uncomfortable, not that she was hypocritical, but that she was a person who had crossed over from modern society, from a sound and humanized social system to a feudal and ignorant social system, and the unwilling, disdainful and disdainful rebellion in her heart suddenly erupted, but she was powerless, helpless, and had a feeling of dazed and helpless.

Lu Xiaoyi came to the next door in a daze, and saw Chunyun and Xiaoding taking out the sewing basket and studying in a good way, and felt a little sour in his heart, only to feel that he was like this, his cousin was like this, and Xiaoding would be like this in the future, and his parents would choose his husband. Compared with them, fortunately her parents chose what she liked. What about cousins? What about Xiao Ding? And Xiao Geng, Liu Bao Shenqiang, what about them? What will be their fate?

Some people say that if you see it through, you will be liberated, but Lu Xiaoyi thinks otherwise, at this time she has seen through it, but she is sad!

If she is a native and innocent girl like her cousin, she is designated by her parents as a reliable person, and she will have children and live slowly after marrying, she won't think it's strange! Because women here have been like this for generations. And Lu Xiaoyi is different, she is from time in time, she will be worthless for her cousin, and she will be disgusted with the arranged methods of her elders.

But what about it? Is it encouraging my cousin to have a free marriage? Or do you make your weird remarks public, and then be treated like a monster? Lu Xiaoyi shook her head, she is just a modern person hidden in ancient times, she is ordinary, she can only follow the customs, although the concepts of the previous life will jump out from time to time to torture her, she can only secretly contrast, secretly slander, and secretly admonish herself to accept this era, and try to subtly promote its change if she can change. If you can't change it, try to avoid the damage it brings.

Lu Xiaoyi didn't want to think about this, she felt that she was asking for trouble, she tried to think of something happy, such as her sister-in-law Lu Lian, who was in love with Qiu Fu at the beginning, and with Qiu Fu's hard work, the two tied the knot and finally became a family. Thinking about the magpie again, he confided in her that he likes Li Changsheng, although he doesn't know how the magpie's road will go in the future, Lu Xiaoyi believes that as long as Li Changsheng has a heart for the magpie. It's not that hard!

Lu Xiaoyi's mind turned a thousand times. Pessimistic for a while, optimistic for a while, frowning for a while, shaking his head for a while, Chunyun smiled: "Xiaoyi, are you evil?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi didn't want her cousin to see her sorrow. Smiled and asked, "Cousin." Are you evil? ”

Chunyun wondered. "What evil am I doing?"

Lu Xiaoyi reminded with a wicked smile: "The evil of the middle pig's leg!" ”

Chunyun's face turned red instantly, and he pinched the needle and threatened her: "Believe it or not, I'll sew your mouth up!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi saw that his cousin's face was flushed, and he must still have a little like Yang Zhiwen. If the elders disagree with the result of the discussion, will the cousin be a little regretful and sad, and will she be so embarrassed and embarrassed if she talks about her relatives in the future, and then looks at each other secretly?

Lu Xiaoyi didn't know, because she wasn't Chunyun, so she couldn't guess her thoughts. But she could overhear the conversation of a few people next door, because she was used to doing this and knew where the best place to eavesdrop, so she tiptoed to the high cabinet, where there was a small round hole in the wall, and I don't know what it was left over from at the beginning, and now it was plugged by a log wedge, just gently pull it out and put the ear on it, as long as the next door is not deliberately suppressing the volume, to ensure that everything is clearly audible.

Chunyun pointed at Xiao Yi in surprise, Xiao Ding was used to Xiao Yi doing this, covered his mouth and snickered, Lu Xiaoyi turned around and made a silent gesture towards them.

Xiao Geng thought it was funny and came over, "Sister, what are you doing with your ass?" ”

"Fart! If you don't want to smell it, go away! Lu Xiaoyi said deliberately.

Xiao Geng immediately covered his nose, but didn't leave, "I'm not afraid of smelly!" ”

"Don't talk, wait for the eldest sister to let you fart!" As he spoke, Lu Xiaoyi put his ear to the hole in the wall and listened carefully.

She had no way of knowing what she said before, and it was her uncle Wang Yujin who spoke at this time, he had a loud voice and didn't sound hard, so she just listened to him: "You just have long hair and short knowledge, so what's wrong with the Yang family kid?" Thick eyebrows and big eyes look at how energetic, the body is strong, the teeth are good, and the smile is white! ”

"Do you see the teeth? It's not a cattle! ”

Wang Yujin said: "Good teeth are good health, and you don't understand it." ”

"No matter how good my teeth are, I don't like them!" Yujin's daughter-in-law couldn't tell him, so she dropped a sentence and began to sulk.

"Mother, you say! What do you think of the Yang boy? Wang Yujin began to ask Mrs. Wang for help.

Mrs. Wang threw the topic to Yulan, "Yulan, you talk about it, I'll listen to your opinion first." ”

Yulan thought for a moment before saying, "If you want me to say, you have to ask Chunyun what he thinks about this." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoyi sneered: Why didn't you think to ask my thoughts in the first place? Fortunately, Brother Liang is what I like, otherwise there would be many things to do.

I only listened to Yulan said: "After all, Chunyun is the first time to see the Yang family boy, in fact, it can't be regarded as seeing it, but it's just a glance, how can you see it thoroughly, and asking her opinion is just to find out what her eyes are on the Yang family boy?" After closing our eyes, we can continue to discuss! ”

Yujin's daughter-in-law said: "Sister Lan, did you also ask her opinion about Xiaoyi and the Yu family's boy?" ”

This is exactly the problem that Lu Xiaoyi is entangled.

Yulan smiled: "Do you still need to ask?" I saw her little bit of caution, this kid woke up early, my father and I thought that the Yu family kid was good, so we pushed the boat down the river, she had to be as ignorant as Xiao Ding, so I wouldn't settle things so early! Therefore, the thoughts of the children should also be considered, and no matter how good the family background is, it will hurt the children to marry a resentful couple. ”

Lu Xiaoyi was like eating a wild mountain apricot, from her mouth to her heart, she blushed with shame, because her family avoided her cousin to discuss family affairs, which made her have an urge to complain for her cousin, and she thought that she and the surplus food had not been asked by Yulan in advance, she couldn't help but feel a kind of resentment and sadness and irritability.

Mrs. Wang said: "Marriage is the order of the parents, and we as elders have to take care of the children." We have a small circle of villagers, and the peers who have known each other since childhood are cousins of relatives in addition to the same village are indispensable to give birth to some careful thoughts, we have to polish our eyes as elders, which thoughts can be had, which thoughts must be broken, we have to consider for the children, after all, marriage is a good matter of two surnames, it is a matter of two families! ”

He also said: "The children are young and have no experience, and they are always biased and short-sighted when they look at people and things, which requires us to look at each other with the eyes of the past, and measure them with the experience of life, although our old vision is not as good as the love in their eyes, but on the experience of living a life, they can't catch up with us, everything is false, and living a good life is real!" ”

Mrs. Wang's words later, the meaning expressed, Lu Xiaoyi expressed his understanding, not only in ancient times, but also in modern society, many parents think like this, the difference is that in ancient times, parents arranged it, they felt that good is really good, and their children have to live in peace when they get married. Modern advocates free love, too free is also disadvantages, back and forth, some people come, some people leave, some people are sad, some people cheat, some people are deceived, some people chase fame, some people chase profit, some people get married, some people leave, and there are people left, and finally numb and tired... Confused... (To be continued......)
