Chapter 133
The young brother of the Lu family fed the cats in this house, and Yulan and Lu Zhong discussed matters next door.
Lu Zhong told him what happened in the big room in the morning, and Yulan said lightly after hearing it: "Great-grandmother only came to take care of the house now?" Why did you go early! ”
Lu Zhong coughed and said lightly: "We are juniors, don't talk about the elders!" ”
Yulan said: "We have been married for more than ten years, what kind of person is my Wang Yulan, don't you know?" If it weren't for us, I wouldn't have bothered to say that her parents were short, isn't today's incident clearly premeditated? ”
Lu Zhong is not a fool, and sighed: "Grandmother is still polite, she didn't ask for a scone recipe directly, you said that if she really opened this mouth, how could I, as a grandson, refuse her?" ”
Yulan was extremely angry, "Yesterday my aunt came to ask for it, and today I borrowed my grandmother to act, thinking about the things before and after, a fool can see the Tao in the middle, and grandmother will not be able to see it?" ”
Lu Zhong saw that Yulan's face was getting darker, and knew that she was really angry, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Grandmother almost didn't go out after returning to the village, those gossips must have been told to her by her aunt and sister-in-law, and judging from her aunt's words and deeds yesterday, it must be that her aunt chewed the root of her tongue in her grandmother's ear, but fortunately, grandmother was reasonable, and she didn't listen to the instigation, let alone ask for a prescription directly." ”
"You only guessed that your aunt instigated, why didn't you expect your sister-in-law to make a move, hum! To retreat into advance, thinking that everyone else is stupid? Yulan snorted coldly: "Although she is smart, she is a little smart, if it weren't for my aunt's yesterday's out, today my grandmother proposed to let her bake cakes, I wouldn't have other ideas, who thought she was smart but was mistaken by being smart, first let my aunt come to our house to expose her bottom, and then confessed to my grandmother." ”
After a while, the bottom was exposed, and the next time I made a heart. Lu Zhong was confused when he heard it, and he couldn't understand the woman's crooked intestines, and said suspiciously: "What kind of heart, how can it be so evil as you say!" ”
Yulan saw Lu Zhong scratching his head and looked stunned, and explained, "Didn't you just say it? My sister-in-law had a heart-to-heart with her grandmother in the morning, she wanted to marry Jia Wei to the city, think about it, not to mention the ordinary people in the city, the people with a little bit of industry, can she have less dowry here? ”
Lu Zhong said: "Grandmother said it. Only when she is looking for someone with the same door will she give Jia Wei a dowry. ”
Yulan sneered: "Sister-in-law has a high heart. You see that her adopted daughter is different from us, she is locked in the house all day long, reading and embroidering, and the door is not out of the door, where is this peasant girl. This is the young lady of a large family. You said. She raised her daughter to be like a young lady, did she marry into an ordinary family? ”
Lu Zhong smacked his face, "What you said is also reasonable." But can big families take a fancy to us rural farmers? Lu Zhong thought of a possibility, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "Impossible, this is impossible, grandmother said today, the women of the Lu family cannot be concubines!" ”
"It's hard to say!" Magnolia was skeptical.
Lu Zhong didn't want to talk about this, "Okay, okay, this is someone else's business, let's talk about it, but what does this matter have to do with her coming to bake cakes?" ”
"If you don't want to come, come to our house in another way!" Yulan said, "I learned to start a new stove by myself and sell it at her mother's grocery store!" Isn't it rumored in the village that our family earns ten taels of silver a day? She also wants to make money to prepare a dowry for her daughter and marry into a big family in the city! ”
It turned out that the sister-in-law had this idea, Lu Zhong thought it was a big deal, and said with a smile: "If she wants to learn, she can learn it, and she can learn to count her ability!" Don't think about it, maybe people don't have so much thought, but they just want to earn some money! ”
Lu Zhong has always been full of confidence in the scone recipe, he firmly believes that if he doesn't talk about Yulan Xiaoyi and Yu Liang, outsiders will not think of it, otherwise his scone will not be stable and unique since it was listed, this is not that no one imitates it, but it can't be imitated at all.
Yulan said: "Of course I am also confident, I am just angry with my sister-in-law, you said that our family's little business is calculated by relatives one by one, can I be happy?" My cousin is really, locked in the study every day, only reading the books of the sages and ignoring the things outside the window, and he doesn't care about his cousin and sister-in-law like this! ”
"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Lu Zhong persuaded: "By the way, when it comes to my cousin, I still have something to say to you in advance, aren't my uncle and cousin going to refer to it next year?" I thought about giving them some money, but the big house is not having a good time now, and the little money is useless. ”
Yulan said coldly: "Our family is your master, you can fund if you want to, anyway, our family's money is blown by the wind, and there is no need to work hard, just stand in the courtyard every day and wait for the wind to blow the silver!" ”
How Lu Zhong couldn't hear the meaning of Yulan's words, his cheeks flushed, and he said ashamedly: "Forget it, don't mention it, let them endure hardships!" It's not a good thing that it comes too easily! ”
Yulan's face softened slightly, and she said softly: "What the husband said is reasonable, and I also mean this, as the saying goes: good steel must be used on the blade." The days of the big house have not yet reached the most embarrassing time, let's put on the pole to fund the silver, not only do people remember our good, but also say that we are flattering and attached, we can't spend silver can't buy it! Rather than this, it is better to wait until they are in trouble to help, hasn't the husband seen it yet? Most people in the big house are still dreaming, when will they wake up from the dream, when will we help again! ”
Lu Zhong felt that what Yulan said made sense, and he felt more and more ashamed of his previous words, "I didn't think about what I said just now, and I didn't think it through. Our family has just started business, there are still many places where we need money, the yard is going to be built, Xiao Geng wants to study, and I still want Brother Tuo Qi to help find a good bone-setting doctor in the city, and help us Xiaoyi take a look at the legs. ”
Yulanqi said: "You didn't mention that I really forgot about it, did you notice Xiao Yi's legs, how did I find that her legs are better, isn't it that I'm used to it?" ”
Lu Zhong didn't usually pay attention to it, and he was puzzled when he recalled it: "We are used to seeing it usually, but we really didn't notice that her legs were normal!" When you say that, I also find that she has a problem going in and out of the house? ”
Yulan was pleasantly surprised: "Husband, did you say that Xiao Yi's legs have grown?" ”
Lu Zhong touched his chin and thought: "It should be, maybe Xiaoyi is like us, and he naturally didn't notice it!" ”
Yulan was happy and worried, "At the beginning, the Shen family lost ten taels of silver to Xiao Yi, and now that Xiao Yi's leg is better, should we return the silver, ten taels of silver in Xiaxi Village to get a dowry, I am worried that because of the incident between Shen Qiang and Xiao Yi, it will be rumored to be an incident." ”
Lu Zhong is making money now, ten taels of silver is not a burden to him, and agrees with Yulan's statement, "It's still thoughtful, I should have thought of this problem a long time ago, when our family received ten taels of silver from the Shen family, we also wanted to give Xiao Yi more protection, and now that our family has made money, there is no shortage of ten taels of silver, no matter whether Xiao Yi's leg is good or not, we should return the silver." ”
Yulan and Lu Zhongyi combined, and felt that this matter should be sooner rather than later, so Yulan hurriedly took out ten taels of silver and planned to go to the Shen family. At this time, the sound of sister-in-law Hua and Wang Dongmei talking came from outside the hospital, which was to bake cakes.
Yulan couldn't sit still at all because she had something in her heart, so she asked Dongmei and Sister-in-law Hua to go to the backyard to knead the dough first, and she would come when she did something.
Lu Xiaoyi rushed out of the courtyard after seeing her mother explain a few words, wanting to follow, but was driven back by Yulan, Xiaoyi was suspicious, and waited for Yulan to go away and sneakily followed.
I followed all the way to the courtyard of the Shen family, and when I saw Yulan knocking on the door for a moment, Mrs. Shen opened the door and welcomed Yulan in.
Lu Xiaoyi muttered: "What is my mother doing in a hurry to come to the Shen family? ”
Puzzled, Lu Xiaoyi slipped to the straw stack under the elm tree outside the courtyard of the Shen family, and waited for Yulan to come out while thinking. Who wants Shen Qiang, a neurotic boy, to hide in the haystack, screaming and jumping out, really scared Xiao Yi out of his soul.
"Haha! This time I'm scared worse than the previous ones! Look, you're shivering! Shen Qiang smirked.
Because of his distraction, Lu Xiaoyi was really frightened this time, worse than Shen Qiang hiding in the haystack to scare her for the first time, seeing that the neurotic boy was still laughing wildly, he had the intention to scare him, pretending to be lost and depressed, looking at Shen Qiang stupidly, without blinking or speaking, just see what this neurotic teenager should do!
Shen Qiang laughed enough, only to find that Lu Xiaoyi had been looking at him blankly, wondering in his heart, according to Xiaoyi's temper, he should catch up and beat him at this time, or pick up a stone to hit him! How did this happen?
"Hey, hey! What's wrong? Shen Qiang stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Xiao Yi's eyes.
Lu Xiaoyi still looked at him blankly, but praised his acting skills in his heart.
Shen Qiang shook back and forth for more than ten times, and his heart became scared, "Hey, talk, what's wrong?" ”
There happened to be a mother-in-law carrying a hoe to work in the field, passing by here to see Xiao Yi's appearance, kindly asked, Shen Qiang pointed to the haystack behind him and said: "I just hid inside, I originally wanted to scare Liu Bao, who thought that Xiao Yi was coming, I jumped out and scared her a lot, and it turned out like this." ”
The mother-in-law held a hoe and carefully observed Lu Xiaoyi, in addition to reaching out and shaking it in front of Xiao Yi's eyes, she also rolled Xiao Yi's eyelids, pushed Xiao Yi's shoulder, and came to the conclusion, "Your kid is in trouble, she was scared out of her soul by you, and she has to summon her soul, otherwise she won't live for seven days." ”
Shen Qiang was stupid, he didn't expect the problem to be so serious, remembering that last year he accidentally pushed Xiao Yi down the deep ditch, and lay at the bottom of the ditch in a daze, and then looked at Xiao Yi in front of him who lost his soul, and looked at him blankly, Shen Qiang cried openly, and there was a pain in his heart that he had never felt before, which made him cry so much that he wanted to break his heart.
The mother-in-law urged, "What are you crying about, don't call your mother quickly, asking a great god to summon spirits is the most important thing!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi saw Shen Qiang crying sadly, and felt that it was time to stop, and when he heard this woman say that she wanted to ask the great god to summon spirits, she didn't dare to continue. So, with a soft ** sound, he slowly raised his hand and rubbed his cheeks, as if his soul had returned to his place, his eyes suddenly cleared, and he stared at the crying Shen Qiang and said, "What are you crying for?" ”
The woman slapped her leg and exclaimed: "Ouch, it's really evil, the scared soul automatically returns to its place, it's over, it's over, don't drag me in, I can't go down to the ground today, I have to go home quickly!" The mother-in-law ran home with a hoe.
The eyes on Shen Qiang's face had rushed out of the tear trough, and he didn't believe his eyes, and just said that Xiao Yi had lost his soul, and now he was back in place, he grabbed Xiao Yi's hand tremblingly, "Xiao Yi? Is it Xiao B? ”
Xiao Yi slapped off Shen Qiang's claws and shouted: "Shen Fat, dare to pull my hand, look for death!" ”
Shen Qiang immediately laughed, "Hehe, it's Xiao Yi." (To be continued......)
