Chapter 31
"Daddy?" Lu Jiawei shouted slightly.
Lu Si grimaced and reprimanded sternly: "How do you usually teach you?" ”
"Dad, it's Xiao Yi who is a scoundrel, I didn't push her at all!" Lu Jiawei's aggrieved eyes were red, and tears rolled down.
"Go back to the house and stay, don't go out half a step without my permission!" Lu Si threw himself on the door and didn't bother anymore.
Uh~ grounded.
Lu Jiawei stared at Lu Xiaoyi with hatred, eager to bite her a few bites.
Lu Xiaoyi was still a little guilty when she saw Jia Wei crying, but when she saw the resentful eyes she shot over, she was immediately relieved.
She is not a soft persimmon, and it is impossible for Jia Wei to knead and pinch it, and if she wants to bully her and Xiaoding, there is no door!
At this time, a knock sounded, Bingyu opened the door, and Lu Xiaoyi's uncle Lu Fuzeng came back.
Lu Fuzeng and Lu Shouzeng are not like each other except for their eyes. Lu Shouzeng's medium stature is dark-skinned, and he looks like a farmer who has worked all year round, while Lu Fuzeng is a white-faced, gray-haired, tall and thin literati, wearing a soap-colored robe, and looking at the juniors in the courtyard with a puzzled face.
Bingyu and Wu Feng stepped forward and said respectfully, "Grandfather is back." ”
Lu Fuzeng nodded, walked into the courtyard unhurriedly, and asked, "How many chapters did you read today?" ”
Bingyu and Wu Feng answered truthfully, Lu Fuzeng bowed his head to express satisfaction, his eyes swept to Lu Jiawei on the side, and frowned invisibly, "Xiao Jia, don't help people up yet." How do you explain it on weekdays? You can't disturb your dad to read, and you can't play in the courtyard. ”
Lu Jiawei was so frightened that she hurriedly helped Lu Xiaoyi, Lu Xiaoyi didn't play tricks, she took advantage of the situation, Xiao Geng ran forward crying, "Sister, did you fall in pain?" ”
Lu Fuzeng stepped forward and patted Xiao Geng's head, "Don't cry, tell me if you have any grievances." ”
Xiao Geng pointed at Jia Wei and complained: "Sister Xiao Jia bullies people! ”
Lu Jiawei's face turned pale, and she stood aside in a proper manner, not daring to argue.
Lu Bingyu stepped forward and explained: "Grandfather, just now my father has reprimanded the eldest sister and punished her for grounding. ”
"Don't go back to the house yet." Lu Fuzeng glanced at Jia Wei and walked towards the hall, and the main room heard the movement and came out one after another.
Lu Zhong hurriedly beckoned his wife and children to salute Lu Fuzeng.
Lu Fuzeng stroked his beard with a smile, "It turned out to be Zhong'er's child, I haven't seen it grow so big for many years." After speaking, he beckoned to Xiao Geng, "Come here, let my uncle take a closer look." ”
Xiao Geng stepped forward obediently, was touched by Lu Fuzeng, asked if he was enlightened, and when he learned that Xiao Geng was still a foolish boy, he said to Lu Zhong with a black face: "Shinong Industry and Commerce, our Lu family started from farming and studying, how can Xiao Geng do if he doesn't study!" ”
Lu Zhong said truthfully: "When I save some money at home, it's not too late to send Xiao Geng to the school." ”
"Ridiculous! Xiao C and Xiao Wu were both enlightened at the age of three, and Xiao Geng was almost five years old. ”
Lu Xiaoyi secretly rolled his eyes, the old pedant didn't have a backache when he stood and spoke, who wouldn't want to study off-the-job, and he didn't look at his family background to speak, what he said from farming and reading sounded good, so how many people do you have to work to provide one person with reading?
Lu Zhong's face was pale and he didn't speak, Lu Fuzeng shook his head, looking disappointed, didn't mention this stubble, and asked instead: "How is everything okay at home all these years?" ”
"Everything was fine. I haven't come to visit all these years, it's all my nephew's fault. ”
"It's not your fault, don't mention the old things of your ancestors. It's rare for you to come, so stay for a few more days, if there is anything you need at home, let your aunt go to buy, and the family is not polite. ”
"Uncle's kind nephew understands it, there is still a bunch of things at home, and I have to rush back in a while." Lu Zhong resigned.
Mrs. Lu on the side was afraid that Lu Fuzeng would stay with Lu Zhong's family, so she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, "Everyone is here, let's have dinner, the master will rest for a while after eating, and he will have to go to Guancheng in the afternoon." ”
Lu Fuzeng got up and beckoned Lu Zhong to walk towards the dining hall.
It's all simple home-cooked meals.
Lu Fuzeng, father and son and Lu Zhong sat alone at a small round table, sold a pot of wine, and drank slowly.
Mrs. Lu took the women and children around a big table, and Mrs. Lu deliberately put the meat and vegetables out of the reach of Lu Xiaoyi's sisters and brothers, and put some pickled radish cabbage nearby.
Lu Xiaoyi's sister and brother have always been regular in eating, quietly sandwiching the side dishes in front of them, but Xiao Geng's self-control is poor, knowing that he can't reach it, he still can't stand the temptation, staring at the red and glamorous roast meat, swallowing a lot of saliva, looking at Yulan longingly, hoping that she can help with a piece of meat.
Yulan saw Mrs. Lu's disdainful smile, but she was indignant but couldn't say it clearly, so she put a radish strip in Xiao Geng's bowl, and her eyes signaled Xiao Geng to be obedient.
Lu Si's daughter-in-law said with a smile: "I see that Xiao Geng is very hungry for meat, but my brother-in-law gave him radish strips to eat, and I don't know that I think Xiao Geng picked it up!" Come on, come on, my mother doesn't hurt Aunt Xiao Geng's love for you. Got up and brought a plate of braised pork to Xiao Geng, rushed most of the plate to Xiao Geng's bowl, glanced at the man's table, and lowered his voice slightly, "I often hear Zhang's mother say that their countrymen rarely eat meat in a month, which is like we are full after eating a little." ”
After speaking, he smiled disdainfully, and then poured the remaining half plate of meat into Xiao Yi's bowl, "If I knew in advance that you were coming, I would prepare some big bones, and they all said where to eat and where to make up, Xiao Yi ate more big bones, and maybe his legs will be raised." ”
Lu Xiaoyi moved the bowl in his hand, poured all the meat on the plate, and deliberately said loudly: "My grandma said, it's not terrible to be lame, it's terrible to have a rotten heart, no matter how grounded it is, it's rotten at the root." ”
Lu Si's daughter-in-law hurriedly looked at the man's table, saw Lu Si looking at her, and pretended to be sorry and said, "Ouch, you kid is really a waste, don't throw the meat you can't eat on the table!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi couldn't wait to pick up the greasy flesh and smash it at this disgusting face, she thought so in her heart, and did it, just as accurately and quickly as she smashed Shen Qiang in the past.
When she looked at Lu Si's daughter-in-law's forehead and dropped a piece of meat, the sugar color of the greasy red mud covered her forehead, and the piece of meat fell off and dirty the placket, Lu Xiaoyi's heart suddenly felt refreshed, and she was more resentful than scolding a thousand words and losing ten thousand words.
"I'm sorry Auntie, my hand slipped." Lu Xiaoyi faked an apology.
Lu Si's daughter-in-law exclaimed, and Yulan apologized loudly: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, the child hasn't eaten meat for a few months, and when she saw the meat, she was excited, and the chopsticks slipped and threw you off." ”
Yulan picked up the rag on the side and quickly wiped Lu Si's daughter-in-law's forehead.
The men didn't know the specific situation, they only heard an exclamation, followed by Lu Xiaoyi's apology and Yulan's apology.
Lu Fuzeng frowned and said unhappily: "You also shout in front of the guests, are there any rules?" If a child makes an unintentional mistake, just scrub and change his clothes, but he has to disturb the chickens and dogs. ”
Lu Si's daughter-in-law was reprimanded by her father-in-law, her face changed for a while, her face couldn't hold her face, and she left the table under the excuse of changing her clothes.
Lu Xiaoyi was in a good mood, holding a bowl and continuing to eat, the radish and cabbage tasted very fragrant.
The other children at the table all looked at Lu Xiaoyi, and the atmosphere became very weird, so in this weird atmosphere, the lunch ended.
Lu Zhong took his wife and children to say goodbye to Mrs. Lu, and Old Man Lu lowered his eyes and was drowsy, waved his hand and said, "Let's go back!" In the future, if there is nothing to do, it will not be used. ”
Mrs. Lu sent Lu Zhong's family out with a black face, but Lu Si's daughter-in-law didn't even show her face.
When she went out, Yulan couldn't hold back, she couldn't stop laughing, and her eyes were full of love and hatred when she looked at Lu Xiaoyi.
"Mother, we will never come to my uncle's house again." Lu Xiaoyi also pretended to be aggrieved.
Xiao Ding nodded hurriedly, but Xiao Geng disagreed, "Why don't you come?" I ate half a plate of meat today! Next time, I'll have another plate. "Licking his lips, he still looks like he can't get enough.
Yulan couldn't help but laugh again, blaming Lu Xiaoyi, "You just want to come, and your uncle and grandmother won't let you in." ”
"Na Na Na, my hands are just slippery, they are too careful, it is really as Cousin Bingyu said." Lu Xiaoyi shook his head and shook his head, "Only villains and women are difficult to raise!" ”
"You're not a woman?" Magnolia asked with a smile.
Lu Xiaoyi continued to shake her head, "I'm a strange woman in Xiaxi Village!" ”
Yulan wanted to reach out and poke Xiaoyi's forehead, but she sat on both sides of the donkey cart and didn't dare to act rashly, so she had to look at her twice, and said helplessly: "I don't know who you look like?" ”
Lu Xiaoyi said with a smile: "I am my father's child, I must be like my father's mother." ”
Lu Zhong sat in front, nodded in agreement with his daughter's words, flicked the whip in his hand, and the small car drove out of the Lu family alley, turning a slightly wider alley, the cyan brick walls on both sides slowly moved backwards, and the sound of the donkey kicking the stone slab echoed in the alleyway, attracting few pedestrians to turn back frequently, hiding at the base of the wall and letting the donkey cart go first.
Turning east and west, I turned onto a street, and my vision suddenly came alive. On both sides are lined with shops and colorful signboards, eyes full of passers-by and vehicles, and ears full of subdued shouts and solicitation of customers.
Lu Zhong jumped out of the car and led the donkey slowly, Yulan hugged Xiao Geng in her arms tightly, and told Xiao Yi and Xiao Ding to be obedient and not to move.
Lu Xiaoyi asked loudly: "Dad, shall we go home directly?" ”
Lu Zhong looked back and smiled, "It's rare to come here, Dad will take you around, if you want to buy anything, just tell Daddy!" ”
Xiao Geng immediately showed his head, "I want to eat a candy man." ”
Yulan angrily pressed Xiao Geng's head, "Half a plate of meat didn't hold you up at noon?" ”
"It's just a candy man! For a penny or two, the child will buy it for him if he wants to eat. As Lu Zhong spoke, he happened to see a candy seller, the straw shelf was full of zodiac sugar people, Lu Zhong led the donkey and approached, and the merchant immediately greeted with a smile.
Lu Zhong paid for four sugar people, two little tigers, a little monkey and a little dog.
The little tiger gave it to Xiao Geng, Xiao Yi took a little monkey with ears and cheeks, Xiao Ding was a cute puppy, Yulan and Xiao Geng were a genus, took the little tiger in Lu Zhong's hand, and said with a red face: "What are you buying for me?" Waste a penny. ”
"You haven't eaten it."
Magnolia rolled her eyes, "Nonsense." "A candy man, who hasn't eaten it when he was a child.
Lu Zhong smiled, led the donkey and continued to move forward.
"Dad, let's go to the livestock market and have a look!" Lu Xiaoyi licked the butt of the sugar monkey and suggested.
Yulan also agreed, so Lu Zhong went to the next intersection and turned right and walked towards the livestock market.
