Qi Feng waited silently.

Qi Shan was talking to Lu Zhong on the side, this person was really strange, how good it was to drink tea and talk in the house, he had to talk outside the courtyard gate. Xu Wu and Zhang Tieniu waited silently on both sides, only to hear Qi Shan say excitedly: "Brother Lu, big brother, I envy you in my heart!" Two sons, two daughters, two good words, that is like me, a poor old widower, guarding a little seedling and being a father and a mother, big brother, I feel bitter! ”

Qi Feng took off the big hat, turned his head and glared at his father, his mouth opened, but he didn't open his mouth, put the hat on again, and continued to sit firmly and pretend to be deep.

Zhang Tieniu comforted Qi Shan in a loud voice, "In charge, you at least have a little seedling, Xu Wu and I don't even have a little seedling, we are much more bitter than you in our hearts." ”

Xu Wu nodded and said: "Tie Niu is right, the master, don't be bitter, let's leave quickly, the city gate will be closed when it's late." ”

Qi Shan reprimanded the two, "You are one person who feeds the whole family and is not hungry, as soon as you say where to go, you will go, I can't compare with you, I still have an oil bottle, I want to take care of him to eat, drink, Lasa and sleep, and I want him to grow up and start a family." Qi Shan occasionally glanced at Qi Feng when he spoke, he just wanted to see if this kid was still the same as before, and he was provoked by a few words from him in front of outsiders.

Qi Shan nagged a few more words at Qi Feng, and seeing that he had been sitting still, Qi Shan was satisfied, and said to Lu Zhong: "Brother Lu, you have been verbose for so long, say goodbye!" Then he said goodbye, and finally jumped into the carriage with Xu and Zhang, Qi Feng threw his whip, and the carriage slowly drove out of the village.

Sending Qi Shan and the others away, the Wang family is also leaving. Yulan came out to send it, and Mrs. Lu hugged her little grandson and kept it with a smile.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "No, the four daughters-in-law are here, and there are old men and a bunch of children left in the family, and I can't rest assured." ”

Wang Yutang brought the horse here, and Yang Zhiwen helped to set the horse on the side, although his relationship with Chunyun had been decided, he was still very active in earning performance in front of his future mother-in-law, and striving to make her more affirmative of him.

Lu Xiaoyi looked at her aunt's expression, and she was still lukewarm to Yang Zhiwen. Nor do I talk to him. Yang Zhiwen was a little deflated, and a trace of loss flashed on his face.

Wang Yutang had a good impression of him, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged: "Not bad, not bad." He's a good guy who is diligent! ”

Yang Zhiwen's white teeth flashed with a smile. Excited.

After the Wang family left. The helpers also left one after another, and the courtyard of the Lu family was completely cleaned, and there were not many vegetables left at noon. In the evening, stew a pot of dishes, and the family gets together to eat clean. Lu Zhong moved back to the east bedroom, although Mrs. Lu was reluctant, she still rolled up the cover and rolled back to the main room, she didn't sleep all night, all talking about whether the little grandson left her to cry or not, Lu Shouzeng finally cleared up for a month, and said impatiently: "Shut up!" Go to bed! ”

Mrs. Lu was very aggrieved, turned her back, and silently thought about her little grandson.

On the east side, Lu Xiaoyi had already whirred, tired all day, fell asleep with his head next to the pillow, and woke up and returned to a state full of vitality.

The first thing the three sisters and brothers did after getting up was to see the little brother, the little brother had grown after the full moon, the cheeks were white and tender, the little hands were soft, and they slept soundly with their mouths, completely ignoring the loving eyes of the three sisters and brothers.

Yulan waved her hand to let them out, don't make any noise about the little brother, and then went out of the house to go to the stove room to make breakfast.

Lu Xiaoyi said: "Mother, have you named your little brother?" ”

"Donkey poop and dogs bark indiscriminately, and the name is rough to feed." Magnolia laughs as she chops sauerkraut.

Lu Xiaoyi saw that Yulan was a lot more mellow after the confinement, and her round and white face smiled like a silver plate, no wonder the ancients wanted to describe the beauty with a face like a silver plate, such a face looked gentle and dignified and very blessed, and the smile was also very beautiful.

Xiao Ding said: "Isn't our family in the order of the heavens and the earth? ”

"Xiaofeng is not in order, and the little brother is not in order, the little aunt in the province thinks more." Lu Xiaoyi thought that the name Xiaofeng was also taken by her, an incompetent person, and she was a little embarrassed, she didn't know the name of her little brother interestingly, so leave it to her father and mother!

In the end, Xiao Geng, the only cultural person in the family, proposed, after the discussion between Lu Zhong and Yulan, and then with the approval of Lu Shouzeng and Lu Pozi, the little brother was named Xiao Rui.

Lu Xiaoyi patted Xiao Geng's head and praised: "Rui is good, Xiao Geng is becoming more and more knowledgeable." ”

Xiao Geng smiled and couldn't see his teeth, Lu Xiaoyi said again: "Xiao Geng is the elder brother, take care of Xiao Rui's younger brother!" ”

Xiao Geng nodded: "Don't worry, big sister, I will be a good brother." "Xiao Geng is a good boy who does what he says, and in the days to come, he proved that he is a qualified good brother with practical actions.

Yulan is out of confinement, and the Lu family's scones are back to normal.

Mrs. Lu now has to take care of both Xiaofeng and Xiaorui, and her face is always smiling. It is said that each other is born from the heart, and Lu Xiaoyi found that Mrs. Lu often smiled for a while, and her face, which used to be a little mean, is now kinder, and it looks much more pleasing to the eye.

It seems that there is no change in the ordinary days, but in fact, many things are changing subtly.

Lu Xiaoyi remembered that she was restrained by Yulan after the New Year, and she was still resistant, but now that more than half a year has passed, she has become accustomed to staying at home when she has nothing to do. When she goes out to pick vegetables or do laundry, she will stop and look at the little boy and girl in the village who are playing in twos and threes, and the people chasing and frolicking are all small, compared to her own developed body, it is indeed no longer suitable for such crazy play.

Girls develop earlier than boys, and Lu Xiaoyi already faintly feels that his small breasts are bulging and swollen, and he will feel pain if he accidentally touches it, so he must not be far from the tide. She couldn't help but be happy and worried, happy that she had grown up, and worried about how to get her aunt's pad when the tide came? This is probably a question that every woman who crosses must consider! She had to make arrangements in advance, cotton and cotton cloth had to be prepared in advance, and she still had some money in her hand, so she had an opportunity to go into the city to buy a trip, and it didn't matter if she ate or wore it, but she couldn't save money in this regard, and she must ensure safety and hygiene to avoid contracting gynecological diseases, otherwise she would be the one who suffered.

Lu Xiaoyi made plans early and waited for the opportunity to enter the city.

One day in September, Lu Xiaoyi was baking cakes in the backyard, and there was an urgent shout from the front yard, which turned out to be Liu's sister-in-law's maiden name.

Lu Xiaoyi moved quickly, and rushed to the front yard at a fast speed, only to see Uncle Liu standing anxiously in the courtyard and shouting in the direction of the backyard, and Sister-in-law Liu, Yulan and others came out later.

Sister-in-law Liu exclaimed, "What's wrong?" ”

"Quick! Fast! The city brought a letter saying that our family, Anzi, was seriously injured. As soon as Uncle Liu's words fell, Sister-in-law Liu cried, "What? What do you say? Yasuko was seriously injured? Wasn't it okay to come back a few days ago? Whining! What's going on! ”

Everyone was frightened, and Yulan said: "Sister-in-law Liu, be steady, seeing is believing and hearing is false, hurry up and go to the city to take a look!" Let my husband send you there! ”

Lu Zhong hurriedly went to the backyard to lead the donkey, and Yulan hurriedly took some silver money from the house and came out, "Take it first, don't panic if you have silver." ”

Lu Zhong nodded, drove the donkey cart, and hurried to the city with the Liu family.

No one knew what was going on, so they stood in the courtyard for a moment before returning to the backyard to make cakes.

Lu Xiaoyi was flustered, even if she only had a few encounters with Liu An, suddenly someone came to inform him that he was seriously injured and might die, thinking of Liu Bao, thinking of Aunt Liu, and then thinking of the sister of the Liu family who had met once, Lu Xiaoyi's heart was heavy, silently praying that Liu An would be able to turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious.

Lu Zhong did not return that night, and only took the Liu couple back to the village at noon the next day.

The people in the village already knew that the eldest son of the Liu family had an accident, but they were curious but it was not good to come forward to ask the Liu family directly, so they could only watch from a distance, trying to see some clues from the faces of the Liu family.

The first thing Lu Zhong did when he went home was to pour a scoop of cold water, then sighed comfortably, and said to the family members surrounding him: "My life is saved!" ”

When Yulan heard that Liu An's life was saved, her hanging heart also relaxed, and she hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" Why are you seriously injured? ”

Lu Zhong said: "Early yesterday morning, it was Liu An's turn to patrol his team, and when they saw the suspicious appearance of the caravan out of the customs, they stepped forward to interrogate. A person took advantage of the chaos to escape, Liu An went to chase, who knew that he chased to the den of this group of people, he was outnumbered and seriously injured, and was rescued by the soldiers who came later, and the den was also ended, Liu An was a blessing in disguise this time! ”

Blessings in disguise only talked about the past and did not say the aftermath.

Lu Xiaoyi waited for a long time and didn't see his father mention it, thinking that it was inconvenient to say something, so he said half a sentence and half a sentence.

Yulan understood in her heart, and did not continue to ask, but folded her hands and bowed: "Bodhisattva bless, it can be regarded as a small life!" ”

"Thanks to the old doctor in the General's Mansion, he pulled back the person who stepped into the ghost gate with half a foot, and now he is still raising it in the General's Mansion! Last night, I stayed in the mansion with the Liu family, and I wanted to find someone to bring you a letter, but I didn't dare to act rashly for fear of violating the rules of the mansion, so I had to endure until today, and the housekeeper sent us out. ”

Yulan said: "You're right, there are many rules in those places, and if you accidentally get into trouble, it's too late to regret it." ”

Mrs. Lu hugged Xiao Rui and said: "The Liu family was reluctant to pay the silver money at the beginning, so they had to send Liu An to serve, this time they were scared!" Fortunately, it's okay, otherwise the intestines will be repentant, hey! Two taels of silver to buy a life, where to find such a good deal! ”

Lu Shouzeng glanced at her, "I don't like to listen to what you say, who is willing to send their children to serve if they can afford to pay for exemption?" You don't know the situation of the Liu family back then, the two old people fell ill in bed, and the family was hollowed out. Liu An is a sensible child, he agreed to serve without saying a word, and the Liu family has been frugal and has not been easy to slow down over the years, so you can accumulate a few words of morality! ”

Liu Yong saw that the old couple were arguing again, and said with a strange smile: "Dad, you should have sent me to be a soldier in the first place, not only did you save two taels of silver, maybe I would be a general now!" ”

"I knew that you would be so naughty and playful later, I should have sent you to the barracks to hone and hone!" Lu Shouzeng was telling the truth.

Mrs. Lu said: "I don't like to listen to what you say!" (To be continued.) )
