Chapter 85
All the way back to Xiaxi Village, the sunset has burned half of the sky, the crows return to the nest, the chickens and ducks go back to the circle, the farmers who come back from work walk leisurely on the ridges with their hoes, a few wild dogs chase in the grass in midsummer, I don't know where the sound of the shepherd flute is heard, and the tempting summer cicada neighs again.
In the evening in the countryside, it is peaceful and peaceful.
When the donkey cart arrived outside the Lu family's courtyard, Lu Zhong pulled the surplus grain and did not let him go, saying that he had done a great favor today, and he would definitely have a few drinks in the evening.
At this moment, Mrs. Lu was already busy with dinner, Lu Shou increased his hand and rejected Lu Zhong's invitation, "Your mother is already cooking, and you are busy until now to come back, let's get together again when it's empty." ”
The leftover meat and vegetables at noon, fry some eggplant boxes, stir-fry a green pepper egg, cold cress fungus and cucumbers, and then pick up a bunch of freshly scones, and dinner will be served.
Lu Zhong sold a pot of wine and filled it with the rest of the grain and himself, Xiao Geng shouted to drink, and was rewarded by Lu Zhong.
Xiao Geng touched his forehead and pouted, the thief sat down next to the surplus grain, and when he was not paying attention to the vegetables, he quickly dipped the wine in the cup with chopsticks and sent it to his mouth.
Lu Zhong smiled and handed the wine in the cup to him, "Son, come, drink this cup!" ”
Xiao Geng's head shook like a rattle, "If you don't drink or drink, it's spicy and spicy." ”
Lu Zhong continued to persuade him to drink, "Stupid boss with a rising meal, drunk and smart, how can my son be so smart and not drink?" Come on, come on, this cup is gone, there is still a pot on the table, and the pot is gone. There is also a jar in the warehouse, and after drinking a jar, my father will buy it for you! ”
The more Xiao Geng listened, the more bitter he became, his face wrinkled, and he asked Yulan for help: "Mother, mother." Little eyes begged Magnolia to come out and say something.
"Well deserved." Yulan pursed her lips and smiled, and then said to Lu Zhong: "Let's eat, make Xiao Geng cry, tomorrow my mother will look for me again." ”
Lu Zhong was in a good mood, and he wanted to tease his son for a while, but after listening to Yulan's words, he immediately stopped. He threw himself back in his glass of wine. Then beckoned the surplus grain to eat vegetables.
The rest of the grain only drank one glass, Lu Zhong persuaded him to drink, but was stopped by Yulan and said, "Okay, okay, Liangzi is still a child." Just take a drink and just mean it. Don't get drunk. "Finished. Looking at the surplus grain with a smile, "You can drink less wine and eat more vegetables!" ”
Yu Liang nodded. As long as he doesn't make eye contact with Lu Xiaoyi, his expressions and movements can be very natural, and Lu Xiaoyi can also see it, and decides not to affect him when he eats in the future.
After eating, Lu Zhong went to deliver the surplus grain, although Lu Xiaoyi wanted to go very much, but he couldn't show it.
After breakfast the next day, Lu Zhong went to the Qishan Dart Bureau to sell cakes as agreed, and Lu Shouzeng took Lu Yong into the city to sell mats and straw baskets.
Yulan made lunch, but Lu Zhong didn't come back to eat and replenish the stock, Yulan muttered, "Maybe it's eating in the dart game." ”
In the afternoon, Lu Lian and Wang Dongmei came over to help bake the cakes, and Mrs. Lu took a nap in the West House with Xiaofeng in her arms.
Wang Dongmei and Lu Lian were in charge of one pit, Yulan and Xiaoyi were in charge of another, and the four of them were chatting with noodles in the stove room.
Yulan said: "My mother takes Xiaofeng very heartedly, and I have to take a nap with her every day at noon, and sometimes I see her holding Xiaofeng and talking and laughing." ”
Wang Dongmei laughed while pressing the dough, "I found that my mother sometimes has the wrong mouth, and when she carries people behind her back, she makes Xiaofeng giggle, and her face is black in front of people, saying that Xiaofeng is troublesome, eating, drinking, and sleeping, and she is restless all day long." ”
"Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, haven't you noticed? My mother's temper is much better now than before, she used to be like a cannon fight, just a little bit, and she spoke and did things by temperament, and there were a lot of things that happened back then. Lu Lian didn't hide it in front of her sister-in-law, and said the truth.
Wang Dongmei said: "I've only been through the door for more than a year, what kind of character did my mother have before, I have only heard people say it, I haven't been in contact, she has not changed and has to be talked about by sister-in-law and Lianmei." ”
"She used to be able to use a ladder on the partition wall to scold me all day, and my ears were calloused."
Lu Xiaoyi listened to Yulan's flat tone, and couldn't hear any resentment, thinking that he had been relieved of those embarrassing years.
Yes, today's Yulan is in love with her husband, and she is kind to her children, in addition to doing housework every day, she bakes cakes to make money, and her life is full and everything goes well, how can she have a superfluous mood to think about those Chen Guzi rotten sesame seeds, instead of asking for troubles, it is better to do some practical things down-to-earth, even if it is to feed chickens and pigs, even if it is to pick melons and vegetables, it is better than thinking about the past.
"Sister-in-law, do you hate my mother?"
Yulan laughed, "To be honest, I hated it in the first few years, but then it slowly faded, and now I don't feel it." ”
"Second aunt, what about you? Do you hate my mother? ”
Wang Dongmei said: "I'll also tell the truth, I hate my mother-in-law, with my mother-in-law as a comparison, my mother-in-law looks much better, especially when she teases Xiaofeng, no one who sees it will not believe that she is patriarchal." ”
"I gave birth to three children, and she helped bring Xiao Yi for a while, and then gave birth to Xiao Ding and split the family, and then gave birth to Xiao Geng, she never brought any of them, except Xiaofeng, she took it every day after the full moon, you say, no matter how hard-hearted a person is, every day against a white and chubby little milk baby, can she not soften?"
Wang Dongmei smiled: "That's why I said that my mother sometimes doesn't have the right mouth." ”
Lu Xiaoyi smiled and said: "Na, how can there be such a thing, the daughter-in-law and the sister-in-law are muttering behind their mother-in-law's back, is it really appropriate to teach by example and deed?" ”
Yulan said angrily: "I don't know what you think about it?" Don't you just want to find an excuse to sneak out and play! ”
Lu Xiaoyi was said to be thinking about it, and he smirked: "Aren't I worried that Xiao Ding Xiaogeng won't be able to hold the cow?" ”
"Come less, I am very relieved that the two of them are herding cattle, you obediently stay and help scone the cakes."
Lu Xiaoyi pouted, flattened the dough cake in his hand, and then marked it with a mold engraved with the word 'Lu'.
In the evening, Lu Lian and Wang Dongmei dispersed after counting their respective cakes, and Lu Xiaoyi helped to count the numbers, and the wages were calculated after a month.
Lu Zhong came back with Lu Shouzeng and Lu Yong, Lu Xiaoyi paid special attention to the mat and basket in the car, which were not bad, the mat was better than the basket.
When Lu Shouzeng got out of the car, Lu Zhong and Lu Yong both reached out to help him, and Lu Shouzeng waved his hand and said, "I'm not that old." After speaking, he jumped out of the car quickly, slipped down a string of baskets, and said to Lu Yong next to him: "The mat is yours." ”
Lu Xiaoyi has a lot of things in his heart that he wants to ask his father, such as how are the people in the dart game doing today? Are you still standing far away like yesterday, such as how to sell a cart of cakes today? Is someone looking for fault again? For example, how is Uncle doing today? Did she shout as hard as she once did?
Of course, no matter how many questions you have, you have to wait until you have eaten and drunk enough and washed off your stinky sweat comfortably.
Yulan had so many questions like Lu Xiaoyi, and after asking in one breath, Lu Zhong said slowly with a smile.
It turned out that Lu Zhong used to sell cakes on Rongxing Street, but today he suddenly moved to Qishan Dart Bureau, and many customers did not know about it, resulting in a cart of cakes not being sold out in the morning, which caused everyone in the Dart Bureau to be puzzled.
Lu Zhong didn't react at first, but when he figured out the reason, he took the people of the dart bureau to Honor Street, selling cakes and promoting to customers, Qi Feng even took out a handful of copper and hired some little beggars to help promote the city.
Speaking of this, Lu Zhong couldn't help but praise: "I didn't see it, Qi Feng's kid has a very lively brain." ”
Lu Xiaoyi also admitted that when Qi Feng didn't commit two crimes, his brain was very active.
Yulan said: "Qi Shan is so thoughtful, where can the son he gave birth to!" By the way, what about the rest of the game today? ”
Lu Zhong smiled: "It's not far or close, it feels like a bodyguard!" ”
Yulan was a little helpless, "What's going on?" If they don't help, they won't be able to sell in the future, and you have to worry about it. ”
"It's okay, the older ones can't let go, the younger ones are okay, I see, if you really want to open a store, Qi Feng's kid can hold up."
"Dad, Uncle Qi, they just can't let go of face for the time being, you leave them alone for now, just be the bodyguard you invite. This month, we worked hard to order more cakes and sell more cakes, and when they saw the profit at the end of the month, what was the face? I guess they can't even remember. ”
Yulan proposed: "Why don't you let Liangzi come with you this month, with him, there are some things to say and things to do." ”
Lu Xiaoyi volunteered, "Mother, I'll talk to Brother Liang tomorrow." ”
Yulan nodded, and said, "By the way, ask the grain, is there any white soil brought back by Mengguo?" I was thinking about digging another pit, and in the future, the shops in the city would be opened, and our two pits would not be enough! ”
Lu Zhong thought for a while and said: "This is not in a hurry, the matter of the partner can only be decided at the end of the month, and no one can say what will happen in the future." ”
At this time, there was a noise between Xiao Ding and Xiao Geng in the next room, and Xiao Geng's voice came through the wall, "Eldest sister, eldest sister, come here, second sister tickle me, come and help me?" ”
Lu Xiaoyi suddenly felt itchy, and he didn't want to talk to Yulan and Lu Zhong, so he ran next door, Yulan complained: "I have to sweat all over again when I play, and I have to take a bath for them before going to bed, which is really tiring." ”
Lu Zhong stretched out his fan and fanned her, "Don't worry if you're tired, wipe it clean before going to bed, and sweat when you sleep all night!" ”
Magnolia glanced at her, "According to what you say, then you don't need to eat?" Anyway, I have to be hungry after eating. ”
Lu Zhong smiled, "Can this be the same?" If you don't eat, you can't work hard! ”
The couple is talking vigorously here, and the next room has become a battlefield for tickling.
Xiao Geng regretted it very much, he asked the eldest sister for help, who knew that the eldest sister was more ruthless than the second sister, not only to tickle him, but also to pinch his ass, hammer his small bun, and pull his cheek meat, in short, he regretted it very much, Xiao Geng had to shout to his mother for help, who knew that his mother had just entered the house, and his grandmother also came.
Then, Xiao Yi and Xiao Ding were given a lecture by Lu Pozi, and Yulan was also beaten.
After Mrs. Lu left, Xiao Geng was scratched by the two sisters on the kang again, and this time she didn't dare to cry for help, so she could only ask for mercy with a soft and glutinous voice.
After some fighting, she really sweated again, Yulan had already brought warm water, and Lu Xiaoyi was ashamed to find that her body germinated more and more obviously. (To be continued......)
