Chapter 24
Seeing off the Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the Shen family knocked on the door again.
Lu Xiaoyi muttered: "We didn't see Zhu Pozi hanging the eaves in the morning, why are there waves of guests?" ”
Xiao Ding grinned and said, "Eldest sister, you saved people yesterday, the two of them will definitely come to thank you, it has nothing to do with that spider woman." ”
Lu Xiaoyi glanced at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Shen family who entered the door with a big bag and a small bag, as well as the little fat man Shen Qiang who followed behind their buttocks, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Shen family smiled at Xiao Yi with a smile on their faces, and they were very affectionate, and the little fat man held his head high, eager to speak with his nostrils.
Shen Qiangniang raised the salute with both hands and scolded Shen Qiang behind him: "You don't stop all day long, this time you almost took your life, you should stop, right?" Look at Xiao Yi, who was lame by you, and was the first to go into the water to save you, almost put his life on the line, you say that you bastard, what do you think in your brain all day long, let you study, you are not motivated, and you are not self-taught. Shen Qiangniang vented all the fear in her heart on her son.
Shen Qiang reflexively hid behind Shen Pozi, and Shen Pozi said: "Okay, okay, stop scolding, I've been scolding at home for a day and a night, and his father has swollen his buttocks, and he should have a long memory." ”
Yulan in the house heard the movement and hurried out, Lu Pozi heard that it was Shen Pozi's voice, and stood at the door with ignorance, seeing Shen Pozi protecting her grandson, she said coldly: "I said the old sister of the Shen family, this is your mistake, the habitual child also scores the severity of the occasion, it's not that I am too talkative, your strong son should indeed be in charge, and he is fierce and reckless all day long. ”
Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Lu have always been at odds with each other, and glanced at Mrs. Lu, "My strong son has a great fortune, so you don't have to worry about it." ”
Seeing that Mrs. Lu was about to fight back, Yulan quickly interrupted and said with a smile: "Please come in, please come in, why do you like to stand and talk!" ”
Shen Qiangniang carried the gift bag, approached with a smile, and walked to the house with Yulan. Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Shen looked at each other with disgust, snorted at each other, and followed in.
The Shen family is rich, and Shen Qiang is the only seedling of the three generations of single transmission, Shen Qiang scared the Shen family enough this time, and Mrs. Shen went to the city early in the morning to buy a few large bags of gifts, and the tea, cloth, wine and snacks were all picked up in duplicate, one for the Lu family and one for the Yu family.
Shen Qiang's daughter-in-law put down the gift bag, Yulan refused again, Mrs. Lu made the decision with a black face and asked Yulan to accept it, Yulan had no choice but to give up, and smiled and started with the Shen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Outside the hospital.
Shen Qiang was scolded by his mother in front of so many people, Shen Qiang couldn't hold his face, and stood aside arrogantly not playing with Lu Xiaoyi's sister and brother, still looking up at the sky, and occasionally humming a few times in his nostrils.
Lu Xiaoyi didn't bother to provoke this little fat man, at the beginning, the original owner was pushed into the ditch by the little fat man and fell to death, and now Lu Xiaoyi was almost killed by him, the two are really guilty, it is better to keep a distance and provoke him.
Shen Qiang peeked at Lu Xiaoyi with his eyes, and saw that the four of them were playing by themselves, and no one paid attention to him, Shen Qiang snorted: "Little stammer, you come here, don't play with the cripple." ”
Liu Bao looked at Shen Qiang with small eyes, pretending not to hear.
Seeing that the little stammerer was no longer the only one who looked at him, Shen Qiang became even more angry, he stepped forward and pushed Liu Bao down, "Are you long-standing?" I didn't listen to my words. ”
Lu Xiaoyi helped Liu Bao up, patted the ash behind his buttocks, and confirmed that he was not injured, so he said to Shen Qiang angrily: "I knew that you fat man would not change his life, and he should have drowned you yesterday." ”
Shen Qiang snorted, "It was Brother Liang who saved me, and you didn't save me, what can you do!" ”
Xiao Ding Xiaogeng scolded Shen Qiang in unison, Lu Xiaoyi motioned to his younger brothers and sisters to ignore him, and several people moved to the root of the wall to play.
Shen Qiang clasped his hands around his chest, strode up, and blocked in front of Lu Xiaoyi, looking angry, he was taller than Lu Xiaoyi, his eyes widened, "Come here, let me ask you something?" ”
Lu Xiaoyi rolled his eyes, "If you have something to say, why are you shouting around!" ”
Shen Qiang leaned into Lu Xiaoyi's ear and whispered, "Did you catch me in the water yesterday?" After speaking, the little fat man's face was covered with redness, and it was still embarrassing to mention these things.
Lu Xiaoyi's face did not change: "What is here and there?" Who knows where you're talking about? You were fluttering at that time, where did you catch yourself, you know for yourself, what is my business? ”
Shen Qiang tilted his head as if reminiscing.
Lu Xiaoyi raised his voice again and asked, "If I can save Liu Bao, I will definitely be able to save you." I came to save you with good intentions, you are good, the mission dragged me away, and I had to drag me to the end, I haven't asked you for an explanation, but you don't know the hearts of good people, and you rely on me. ”
Shen Qiang recalled the scene of the dying struggle, cold sweat broke out on his back in fear, he was still grateful to Xiao Yi in his heart, but he didn't admit it, and said forcefully: "You don't know how to water and dare to come down to save people, it's clear that you dragged me down, if it weren't for you, I would have reached the surface of the water." ”
Liu Baoqi's face was red and his neck was thick, and he stammered: "Little Sister Yi will be able to drink water!" ”
Shen Qiang snorted, his head held high, like a fat rooster.
Lu Xiaoyi ignored him and continued to play with Xiao Ding Xiaogeng and Liu Bao.
The fat rooster raised his head for a while, felt bored, and took the initiative to come to Xiao Yi's side and watch them play.
When the Shen family left, Yulan looked at a table of gift bags and muttered, "Who wants these things, this is what Xiao Yi bought in exchange for his life." ”
Mrs. Lu glanced at Yulan, "If it weren't for Xiao Yi, the two of them wouldn't be able to cry, giving gifts is what they should do, don't be crooked, and give Xiao Yi Xiao Geng what you can't put away for a long time." ”
As soon as Yulan heard what Mrs. Lu said, she picked out a few packets of snacks and asked Mrs. Lu to take them over to eat, Mrs. Lu's face was much better, and she said, "Why didn't you agree to what the daughter-in-law of the Shen family mentioned just now?" ”
"One thing is one thing, Xiao Yi's lame matter has already been solved." Magnolia said lightly.
"Why are you so stupid, we went up to the pole to ask for this family, but now the Shen family took the initiative to propose it, you can't think more about Xiao Yi as a mother?" Mrs. Lu scolded with a black face.
"You went up to the pole to ask for this kiss, but I didn't go!" Magnolia also did not admit defeat.
"You! You! Mrs. Lu jumped up, pointed at Yulan's nose and scolded: "Xiao Yi's lame leg was harmed by Shen Qiang, and now he has saved Shen Qiang's life, and the Shen family can't pay off Xiao Yi's life for the rest of his life, why can't you understand this stupid woman?" ”
Yulan said coldly: "I just don't agree when I see it, don't you know what kind of person the Shen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are?" Shen Qiang is the only seedling of the Shen family, in the event of such a major event, I dare to say that the Shen family has been trembling for the past two days, can they not be afraid? I'm afraid their hearts are in their throats, and everything they do is impulsive, and when they calm down, they will definitely regret it. ”
"You're not a worm in their stomach, you know a fart!" Mrs. Lu said.
Yulan stopped talking, sat alone and ignored Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu couldn't stop scolding, Wang Dongmei hurriedly persuaded Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu and Dongmei also scolded together, tired of scolding, and walked away with a few bags of snacks.
That night, Lu Zhong bought back a few feet of dark blue muslin.
Yulan pointed to the gift bag on the kang table and said, "The things sent by the Liu family and the Shen family today are all very fine things, and they must have cost a lot of silver. ”
Lu Zhong glanced at it a few times and said, "Isn't Xiao Yi okay?" What do you do when you collect other people's things? ”
Yulan sorted out the sewing basket and said slowly: "I don't accept it, my mother was also there at the time, and she has to accept it." ”
When Lu Zhong heard that it was his mother's master, he stopped talking.
"I picked out some fine snacks for my mother to bring over to eat."
"I've always been relieved that you do things, but my mother's temper is too tormenting, you must be angry." Lu Zhong said gently.
Yulan sobbed with red eyes, "Today, the Shen family mentioned Xiaoyi's relationship with Shen Qiang again, and I refused at that time, my mother was not happy, and it was my fault that everything I said was my fault." ”
Lu Zhong sat closer, patted Yulan's shoulder, and comforted: "If you have something wrong in your heart, you will be angry at me, my mother is angry with you, and I will pay it back as a son." ”
Yulan turned around and said angrily: "Who dares to be angry with you." ”
Lu Zhong smiled and showed the muslin he bought to Yulan.
Yulan unfolded the dark blue muslin cloth, and then took it to Lu Zhong for a comparison, and said: "The grain is too old-fashioned to wear this color, this cloth is kept for you to make a gown, the cloth sent by the Shen family today, I saw that a piece of azure material was good, so I simply used that piece of cloth to make clothes for the grain." ”
Lu Zhong said: "I won't make gowns, the dark ones will be used to make a set of winter clothes for the grain, and the two sets of clothes can also be used." ”
Yulan nodded, "It's still thoughtful, so it's decided." ”
Lu Zhong also laughed, and Yulan said, "I rarely see that child, and I don't know how tall he is now?" Sixteen or seventeen children grow the fastest, how tall did you see him a while ago? ”
Lu Zhong thought for a while, "Just follow my height, just be thinner than me, the child grows faster, it doesn't matter if he's older." ”
Yulan put away the gift bag on the table, put the materials for making clothes alone, Lu Zhong took out the money he earned today and asked Yulan to keep it together.
Yulan counted the copper and said with a smile: "I can earn so much money every day, I really have to wake up with a smile in my dreams." ”
Lu Zhong shook his fan and sighed: "In the past few days, several people in the village have asked me about my income, and I said that there are at most ten yuan a day, and I don't think they believe it very much. ”
Yulan became nervous, "Last time, Xiao Yi also said that it would be the end of the year at the latest, and it was only more than three months before someone wanted to follow suit, why are there so many shallow people in the village, seeing what others are doing, they all think that they are making a lot of money at home, and they all want to intervene!" ”
Lu Zhong sighed: "Hey, there are many such people, if you don't do it, he won't do it, as soon as you do it, he will immediately follow suit." ”
Yulan was fanning the wind angrily, and it didn't rely on the craftsmanship of the secret recipe, if others wanted to follow suit, they had no choice but to sulk.
"Don't think about it, if they want to follow suit, let's follow, Xiao Yi said at the beginning, only if we can persevere, we will win." Lu Zhong comforted Yulan and silently thought about what Xiao Yi said at the beginning.
"I see, let's sell the donkey, add the two dollars we have saved, and then go to my mother's house to borrow some, and we can buy a horse." Yulan remembered what she said to Xiao Yi in the morning, and suddenly came to her senses, "Horses are more energetic than donkeys, and carriages are loaded more than donkey carts, and we are not afraid that others will earn with us when the time comes." ”
Lu Zhong thought about it in his heart, and also thought it was feasible, "Then I have been visiting the livestock market more recently, and when I find a suitable one, I will quickly settle down, it is this silver money......"
"I'll take the time to go back to my mother's house."
"I don't think I borrowed much, my uncle and brother made a fish pond a while ago, and they didn't return the money so quickly." Lu Zhongdao.
Yulan forgot about the stubble in the fish pond, and when she heard Lu Zhong's reminder, she was also worried, "Go back and look at it again, we can't borrow it and think of other ideas." ”
Lu Zhong nodded, took off his gown and fell on the kang, "Sleep, it's really not good, let's use a donkey cart." ”
Yulan blew out the oil lamp and lay down by Lu Zhong, feeling irritable, and the fan in her hand made a loud noise.
