Chapter 29

After saving up two baskets of eggs, Lu Xiaoyi's family was ready to enter the city.

The family of five was cleaned up and tidy, Lu Xiaoyi and Xiaoding wore ninety-point new lotus-colored dresses, tied with tender green belts, and pink velvet flowers on their double buns.

Yulan was dressed in a light green dress, with a dark green belt around her waist, a simple woman's bun on her head, and an ordinary silver hairpin, which was refreshing and neat as a whole, and even Lu Zhong looked at her several times.

Yulan blushed and said angrily, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and load the egg basket into the car. ”

Lu Zhong smiled, carrying a large basket of eggs, and put them on the donkey cart effortlessly.

Lu Xiaoyi came to Yulan and said with a smile: "Mother is so good-looking today, Dad, do you say it?" ”

Lu Zhong nodded, and Yulan poked Xiao Yi's forehead, "Young poor mouth, the first time I saw your great-grandmother, how can you do it if you don't clean up the neat spots?" After speaking, he was a little worried, frowned slightly, and asked Lu Zhongdao: "I haven't walked around with my uncle's family, and I don't know if I'm a little panicked, will my grandmother and her old man see us?" Is it okay to go recklessly like this? ”

Lu Zhong had already put away two baskets of eggs, slipped Xiao Gengti to the car, turned his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if we see it or not, we just have our minds." ”

Yulan nervously got into the car and hugged Xiao Geng in her arms, Xiao Ding is now a little resistant to taking the car, her face is pale, Lu Xiaoyi prepared a straw mat for her, hoping that Xiao Ding can sit more comfortably.

The door of the west courtyard opened, and Mrs. Lu stood at the door with a black face, "Cleaning up so glamorous, where to go?" ”

Lu Zhong locked the door and said with a smile: "Mother, go to the city to sell some eggs?" Yesterday I asked my dad what he wanted to bring? Dad said he didn't have anything to bring. ”

Mrs. Lu snorted, turned her head and hated Yulan again, "The people in the city pay more attention to my good grandson, if you let that trafficker kidnap you, I will fight with you." ”

Yulan didn't speak, Lu Zhong said: "Mother, Xiao Geng was born to Yulan, can she not care?" Don't worry about it. ”

"Phew! I'm talking nonsense, do you talk like that? No, I've got these hearts done, you wait for me to clean up and join you. Mrs. Lu turned around and went into the house to clean up.

Lu Zhong and Yulan looked at each other, Lu Xiaoyi hurriedly beckoned, and whispered: "Dad, while grandmother doesn't come out, let's leave quickly." ”

Lu Zhongzheng had this intention, got on the donkey cart and shook the whip, and drove towards the outside of the village.

Lu Xiaoyi can imagine what kind of hysteria it will be when Mrs. Lu cleans it up, she peeks at Yulan a few times, and when she sees the smile in Yulan's eyes, the mother and daughter laugh out loud.

"Wait, your grandmother will be back again!" Yulan said so, but she didn't have the slightest timidity.

Lu Xiaoyi said proudly: "It's not simple, let Xiao Geng coax him away, Xiao Geng is his grandmother's nemesis." After speaking, he mouthed towards Xiao Gengnunu, "Did you hear that?" ”

Xiao Geng nodded and put forward the condition, "I want to eat a candy man." ”

Lu Xiaoyi touched the empty sleeve pocket, there was none, and said with a wry smile: "The eldest sister has no money." ”

Xiao Geng looked at Yulan expectantly, and Yulan smiled: "You haven't given you a penny of car money, and you still want to eat candy?" ”

"I'm my father's son, I don't have to give money, huh!" Xiao Geng held his head high and said confidently.

Lu Xiaoyi wanted to continue teasing him, but the donkey cart stopped, only to hear Lu Zhong say loudly: "Get on the car, Uncle will give you a ride." ”

"I walk."

"You kid, what are you polite to your uncle? Hurry up! ”

Yulan also warmly beckoned Yu Liang to get into the car, Lu Zhong saw that Yu Liang was stubbornly standing still, jumped down and pulled Yu Liang into the car.

Yu Liang sat opposite Lu Xiaoyi and nodded to say hello.

"Brother Liang, thank you for the thorn rose last time." Lu Xiaoyi greeted generously.

Yu Liang smiled and did not speak.

Yulan felt pity, "You kid is used to staying at home alone, and you don't like to talk, if you continue like this, you will become dumb." Listening to my aunt's words, I have time to go out and walk around, be with my peers in the village, and talk less lonely, right? ”

Yu Liang still smiled, his eyebrows lowered.

Xiao Geng leaned over, "Brother Liang, is the black tiger okay?" ”

"Okay."

"I miss the black tiger so much, can I go and play with the black tiger." Xiao Geng is used to being coquettish.

"Okay."

Xiao Geng happily held Yu Liang's arm and shook it, Lu Xiaoyi saw that Yu Liang's body was obviously stiff, it seemed that he was not used to contact with people, even if it was a simple and cute child, he was not used to it, "Xiao Geng, sit well, don't shake Brother Liang down if the car is unstable." ”

"No, no, no." Xiao Geng was coquettish, and was pulled over by Yulan and held in his arms, he showed his head, winked at Yu Liang, stretched out a small hand, tried to grab Yu Liang's sleeve, and repeatedly couldn't catch it and giggled.

There was a lot of surplus grain in the car, and they didn't talk anymore, and a few people wanted to take a ride on the way, Lu Zhong waved his hand and refused, thinking that he was afraid that others would get in the car and pay for it, and the surplus grain would be embarrassed.

After entering the city, Yu Liang got out of the car to thank him, Lu Zhong made an appointment with him to return, Yu Liang shook his head and refused, Lu Zhong was no longer reluctant, and drove his wife and children to the vegetable market. Because he was going to visit the old lady of the Lu family, Lu Zhong found a dealer who collected eggs, sold all the eggs cheaply, and went to the dim sum shop to weigh a few catties of soft and fresh snacks, bought some tea, wine and candy, and drove to the west of the city.

Uncle Lu Xiaoyi lives in a small alley, the courtyard door is mottled with paint, and the door knocker is old, and he has been thinking about this courtyard for some years.

Lu Zhong stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon a middle-aged woman appeared in the door, Lu Zhong bowed and saluted, "Aunt is well!" ”

It turned out that this woman was the mother-in-law of the Lu family's big house, Lu Xiaoyi's uncle and grandmother, I saw that this woman had a long face, thin lips and sharp eyes, and obvious crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, which didn't look very easy to get along with.

"Yo, what kind of wind blew the second family's loyalty." The middle-aged woman's thin lips showed a hint of a smile, but the words that came out of her mouth were extremely unheard.

Lu Zhong seemed to know this aunt very well, and he didn't care, and said politely: "I heard that my grandmother was sick, so I brought my family to visit." ”

Mrs. Lu glanced at the several gift bags in Lu Zhong's hand with a straight look, her face was much better, she went out, took Yulan's hand, and said with a smile: "Ouch, Zhong's daughter-in-law is a cool person at first glance, look, Zhong'er's children are so old in a blink of an eye." ”

Lu Xiaoyi looked at Mrs. Lu's smiling face, and shuddered, so fake.

Children have the most sensitive intuition about truth, goodness, and falsehood, Xiao Yi felt the strength of Xiao Ding's tight squeeze in the palm of his hand, and it seemed that he didn't like this uncle and grandmother, Lu Xiaoyi pinched Xiao Ding's hand to show comfort, Xiao Geng was even more exaggerated, hiding behind Yulan's leg and reluctant to show up.

Yulan smiled and saluted, then dragged Xiao Geng past and motioned for a few children to call someone, but Lu Xiaoyi's sister and brother had to shout softly: "Hello grandmother." ”

Mrs. Lu smiled hypocritically, "What are you doing standing?" Go into the house, go into the house. After greeting him, he shouted to the house: "Eldest daughter-in-law, hurry up and prepare the tea, there is a guest at home." ”

Lu Zhong put down the gift bag, went out and tied the donkey cart before coming in.

At this time, the door of the West House opened, and a Sven man in a blue robe came out, looking disturbed, and was about to have a seizure, when he saw that it was Lu Zhong's family, his face immediately became much kinder, and he happily greeted Lu Zhong's family, and invited Lu Zhong to sit in the West House for a while.

Lu Xiaoyi glanced at her cousin, who was only a few months older than his father, and because he had not been giving birth all year round, he looked several years younger than her father, and his appearance of fine skin and white flesh was tall and gentle, indicating his identity as a scholar.

As for whether she was admitted to Xiucai or not, Lu Xiaoyi was not interested in knowing, she walked behind Yulan in a proper manner.

The courtyard was very small, and soon walked to the hall of the hall, a brightly dressed young woman came over with tea, and Mrs. Lu introduced: "This is Lu Si's daughter-in-law, a city person" deliberately emphasized a few words from the city, and then said to Lu Si's daughter-in-law: "This is Lu Zhong's daughter-in-law in the second room of Xiaxi Village." ”

Yulan's face was scornful, and she nodded and greeted, "Hello sister-in-law." ”

Lu Si's daughter-in-law didn't seem to hear it, the teacup was placed on the table with a lot of strength, and only then did she smile at Yulan with a cold attitude.

Lu Xiaoyi was unhappy, and deliberately said innocently: "Wow! My aunt is from the city, so why should I marry a villager like my cousin? ”

Mrs. Lu hated Xiao Yi and said to Yulan: "Daughter-in-law Zhong, I didn't say you, your eldest girl didn't teach her well, looking at the very delicate girl, she didn't know the severity of her rough speech, no wonder something happened." "The thing in Mrs. Lu's mouth is Lu Xiaoyi's lameness.

"Don't worry about the aunt, the country girl has the countryman's teachings." Yulan was unhappy, her face darkened, and she said lightly: "This time I took the liberty to come over, and my husband said that my grandmother was not in good health, so we wanted to take advantage of the farm to come over and have a look, and we didn't bother much, and we had to rush back after saying a few words." ”

Mrs. Lu used to hear that Lu Zhong's daughter-in-law was tortured by her mother-in-law, and she thought that her personality was soft and easy to pinch, but now it seems that this is not the case, not only shook her face but also stabbed her verbally, and suddenly lost her good face, and said coldly: "People are old enough to do things, today their back hurts and tomorrow's legs hurt, the doctor breaks his leg every day, and I haven't seen anyone visit from the second room." Your uncle is a filial son, obedient to the old lady, and I am even more thoughtful as a daughter-in-law, offering good food and drink every day, coaxing with good words, who in the neighborhood does not praise me a few words? Carrying the old lady on my back, I said something that I shouldn't say, they are all the sons of the old lady, and our big house has served her for so many years, and she hasn't taken half of the advantage, and I don't know who took advantage of it. ”

Where did Yulan know about the separation of the family, and she didn't want to entangle with her more, "My nephew and daughter-in-law entered the door late, I don't know what the situation was at the beginning, if my aunt is dissatisfied, I can tell my grandmother and father in front of the gong." Moreover, my husband and I are also separated families, and we only want to visit my grandmother to do our filial piety, and my aunt tells me other things in vain. ”

Mrs. Lu was bored, hated Yulan and didn't speak.

Lu Si's daughter-in-law on the side spoke: "Mother, my brother and daughter-in-law came by coincidence, and they were just in time for dinner, so let's just leave my brother-in-law's family for a meal." ”

It seemed that the family was here for this meal, Yulan's face was ugly, and she got up and said, "Auntie, let's take us to meet our grandmother first, we have to rush back after saying a few words, and the pigs and chickens at home will turn over in circles." ”

When Lu Si's daughter-in-law heard the pig and the chicken, she unconsciously covered her nose with a handkerchief, "Brother and daughter-in-law come with me." ”

Mrs. Lu said: "Go and call Zhong'er together, he has been chatting for so long, don't delay Si'er to read." ”

Where can a cup of tea be delayed?

Moreover, it's not too old, so it won't have much effect if you read it again, right?

Lu Xiaoyi secretly rolled his eyes, for fear that Mrs. Lu would say something ugly in front of his father, so he took the initiative to say, "Grandmother, I'll shout!" ”

Mrs. Lu glanced at Lu Xiaoyi's left leg and nodded in acquiescence.

Lu Xiaoyi just wanted to call her father quickly, and went home after seeing the old lady of the Lu family, glad that the Lu family's big house had already gone out, otherwise it would be a headache if they were mixed together, Lu Xiaoyi didn't dare to think about it.

knew that Mrs. Lu and Lu Si's daughter-in-law were such people, and they didn't want to go to the door to kill her, Lu Xiaoyi could even guess Yulan's thoughts, and if she was angry when she came to the door this time, there would be no second time.
