Chapter 10: Mouth
I haven't done specific research and haven't been fully prepared, and that's all Lu Xi can think of for the time being, but these should be enough for his uncle, and it is better to do it according to this idea than to build a small industrial park according to his uncle's idea. And whether the uncle-in-law can convince the uncle who does not seek to make progress depends on his own ability.
Staring at his parents, aunt and uncle-in-law, Lu Xi smiled and said, "I just thought of it suddenly, and it depends on my uncle-in-law whether I can do it or not." ”
At this time, the domestic tourism industry has gradually improved compared with previous years, and with the formation of next year's Golden Week, the tourism industry will be more prosperous. Lu Xi will not say that next year, in order to stimulate domestic demand and stimulate national consumption, the State Council will announce a new vacation plan to form a Golden Week. However, from the corner of Zhouzhuang, we can see the current form of tourism development, Lu Xi believes that as long as his uncle-in-law is not short-sighted and really wants to do practical things for Lutang, he should adopt the plan he proposed to develop Lutang's economy.
Everything that should have been said has been said, Lu Xi lowered his head to eat and stopped answering, and Chen Jiakang asked a few words and stopped asking. After dinner, Lu Xi hid in the patio and chatted with his little cousin for a while, Xu Youzhen helped his cousin Qian Fang clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and came over to ask Lu Quanzhong and Lu Xi to go back. Lu Xi responded and went upstairs to call the little sister, but he didn't expect the little sister to steal a few glasses of rice wine, and at this time she had fallen asleep on Chen Danying's bed. The little sister was drunk and couldn't wake up, so the three of them could only leave her behind, and asked Chen Danying to help take care of her and come to pick her up tomorrow morning.
Coming out of his aunt's house, Lu Quanzhong pulled Xu Youzhen to Lu Quanyou's house, he was also afraid that going to the wedding tomorrow would make the family unhappy. Lu Xi didn't want to go back to the old house alone, thinking about his father's expression after calling his uncle, his immature little turtle should be able to attract firepower for his father and follow him.
Tomorrow is my cousin's wedding, and the big man has been pasted with red happy words outside the door of the uncle's house, and he followed his parents into the courtyard, and he could see the four of his wife and his aunt sitting in the hall under the lights in the hall, talking and laughing.
Uncle Lu Quanyou was facing the window, and when he saw someone entering the yard, his smiling face disappeared when he looked at it, but the person didn't move.
Dad and Mom walked into the house, Lu Xi stood at the door for a while, heard the eldest aunt and uncle greet his parents, didn't hear the voice of the uncle and aunt, hesitated for a moment and followed in.
Several people in the room were stunned when they saw Lu Xi coming in, and her aunt Lu Xiaoping couldn't help but snort and said, "Why did you come back in two years instead of going abroad to study at university?" ”
"No matter how good a foreign country is, it's not as good as home." Lu Xi didn't wait for his parents to answer, sat down on the sofa with a big grin, and pulled his mother to sit beside him.
Sure enough, after her aunt Lu Xiaoping finished speaking, Uncle Lu Quanyou answered: "Little San, are you not good at grades and are you expelled?" You are not as good as Lu Bing and Lu Xue at this point! The tone was distinctly mocking and proud.
It is common for American high schools to expel international students, and Lu Xi has indeed seen a lot, but he has excellent grades, and his teachers are retaining him when he drops out. But at this time, in order not to let my parents become their punching bag, I can only smile and say: "My grades are average, and it is not easy to get into a good university, and it is better to come back to study in a pheasant university." ”
The uncle and aunt had contemptuous smiles on their faces, and the uncle Qi Weimin answered with a smile and asked, "Then you have to take the college entrance examination when you come back, right?" ”
Uncle gave Lu Xi a good impression, but he was too weak for his aunt to manage, nodded and smiled, and said, "I'll go to school in a few days." ”
Before Lu Xi's words fell, Uncle Lu Quanyou snorted and said: "Before you went abroad, I knew that you would have to come back sooner or later, since you are back, then study hard and get admitted to a good university, at least you have to take the Xingang University exam, Xiaoping, don't you say?" "Cousin Lu Bing and cousin Lu Xue graduated from Xingang University.
Lu Xi smiled and nodded, and Lu Quanzhong, who had been throwing it aside, could only pick up at this time, looked at Lu Quanyou and Lu Xiaoping and asked, "Xiaobing will have a wedding wine tomorrow, are they all ready?" ”
Lu Xi wanted to attract firepower by himself, but as soon as his father answered, he found a reason for his uncle and aunt. Uncle Lu Quanyou said with cold eyes and calm: "You can't open the factory, and now you will come back to recognize me as a big brother?" I can't find any work for you to do! ”
Lu Xiaoping also answered: "Big brother, you said that there are everyone now, when you are in the limelight, you are afraid that your relatives will rob you of wealth and not recognize your relatives, and when you are down, you will climb relatives everywhere." "A face that is disgusting and wants to be kicked over.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the conflict between my father and uncle and aunt has been a long time, and it is only because of the work of my cousin and cousin that I am incompatible. Lu Xi heard his grandfather say that when his father and mother moved into his grandfather's house after marriage, his uncle and aunt were very jealous. After the death of the grandfather, the two also wanted to move in together, but the grandfather and mother refused, and since then, the uncle and aunt have other ideas about the father and mother, in the final analysis, the two are too greedy.
Dad's face was not good-looking, and his mother was also tightly squeezing the bag, Lu Xi only felt that the uncle and aunt were too impersonal, and frowned: "No one doesn't recognize your relatives, it's you who only think about yourself, when Brother Bing and the second sister graduated from college and wanted to develop in Xingang, they didn't look down on my dad's factory at all, it was you who had to live and die to go to my dad's small factory to work, and my dad also listened to Brother Bing and the second sister not to go, for fear of delaying the development of the two, so he would refuse you, Brother Bing and the second sister are not better than working in my factory now?" ”
Without giving the uncle and aunt a chance to talk, Lu Xi continued: "At the beginning, you also took the initiative to sever the relationship, my father didn't say anything, besides, my factory is only installing pollution control equipment, and now that the acceptance has been completed, I still have to continue to work, and I haven't fallen to the point of climbing relatives everywhere......." When my factory was booming, you all wanted to stuff your family into it, why don't you talk about it now? ”
Lu Quanyou and Lu Xiaoping didn't say anything, staring at Lu Xi with a gloomy face.
The three of them looked at each other, saw the ugly faces of the two, and remembered the past in their previous lives, Lu Xi rushed to his heart again, and said: "They are all brothers and sisters, broken bones and tendons, my parents will call money at the end of every year, you take the money, and the stinky face is still displayed, it is the first time I have seen relatives like you." Give the dog a bone, the dog knows how to wag its tail, how can you still feel good about yourself when you do this? Let the younger generations look at it, do you think it's glamorous? The secretary of the town party committee and the women's director, I don't think they are as sensible as those ordinary people. ”
When Lu Quanyou heard Lu Xi say this, he suddenly shouted: "I don't need you to teach me a lesson!" He stared at Lu Quanzhong again and shouted, "Look at the good son you raised!" ”
Lu Xiaoping said sharply: "Just by saying this to your elders, you will have nothing to do in this life!" ”
Lu Quanzhong has a good temper, and he also feels that his son said too much and doesn't let him say it again, Lu Xi smiled indifferently, took his mother's bag and took out the red envelope that his father had wrapped earlier, and said: "Since the uncle doesn't want my parents to block you, then don't accept the gift money, anyway, our family has to use money when it is down, and you don't feel ......comfortable when you accept it, oh, our family will not give you money every year in the future." ”
Lu Xi shook off the money in his hand, stuffed it into his pocket with a smile, and pulled his mother, who had been silent, to go out, Lu Quanyou was stunned for a moment and scolded: "Bastard thing!" ”
Dad came to pull him again, Lu Xi stopped and said, "Dad, you're right, why do you always have to find yourself unhappy?" There is no brother like you in the eyes of others, when you married my mother and lived in a big house, some people were jealous, outsiders don't gossip, but your own family is talking. Some people are not filial, they always say that they have a bad temper, and they lose their temper with the old man after drinking, why don't they rush to their wives and children when they lose their temper......
What he has done and what he has thought about, only he knows best, and when it comes to the sore spots, Uncle Lu Quanyou roared angrily: "Get out!" ”
Lu Xi chuckled and turned around and pulled his mother out. Lu Quanzhong hesitated for a while and followed, and was about to teach Lu Xi a lesson when he left the courtyard, Xu Youzhen blocked in front of him and said coldly: "Lu Xi is right, you give them money every year, I haven't said anything, but you can't teach my son today!" "She's had enough of their faces, and she knows how to wag her tail with her master when she has a dog, and her son's words are right. Lu Quanzhong is the pillar of the family, but Xu Youzhen is in charge of the family, and seeing his wife protecting his son, Lu Quanzhong sighed helplessly and walked to the old house alone.
Dad walked fast, and soon disappeared the shadow, Lu Xi and his mother followed behind him silently, and heard someone behind him shouting from a distance: "Auntie, little three", stopped and saw his cousin Lu Bing running over with a woman, the moonlight was unknown, the woman's appearance was not clear, Lu Xi couldn't recognize whether it was the sister-in-law in his previous life.
Lu Bing introduced his wife Wang Xiaodan to Xu Youzhen, and when he heard the name, Lu Xi was sure that he was still the kind sister-in-law in his previous life.
Lu Xi couldn't get used to his uncle and aunt, but he had a good impression of his cousin and sister-in-law, and when his mother finished speaking, he took out the wad of money and said, "Tomorrow's wedding, my parents can't attend, this money is given to you and sister-in-law by my parents." ”
Even though the current situation of the family is not very good, Dad is still very generous. In 98, the monthly per capita salary in Lucheng was less than 1,000 yuan, and as soon as my father made a move, it was 10,000 yuan.
Lu Bing took it and said too much and stuffed it back, Lu Xi smiled and said: "Etiquette is still exchanged, when I get married, Brother Bing's red envelope can't be less than this." And he forced it into his cousin's hand.
Lu Bing accepted it with a smile, and gently slapped Lu Xi on the shoulder, thinking about the matter between his father and uncle, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only not mention it. The four of them chatted for a while and went home, Lu Xi didn't go to his father's eyes to find himself bored, ran to the back room and sat at the window again, leaning against the window frame to look at the quiet and peaceful night.
Last night was unpleasant, and the wedding could not be attended, and Lu Quanzhong and Xu Youzhen did not plan to stay in Lutang for long. On the way back from Lu Tang, Lu Quanzhong kept a gloomy face and didn't speak, the atmosphere in the car was dull, and Lu Xi and Xiaomei didn't talk in a funny way. When he arrived home at noon, Lu Quanzhong put the three of them at the door of his house and turned around and went to the factory.
