Chapter 27: The Quarrel (3)
Although the dishes were very sumptuous tonight, there were not many people at the dinner table, only Lu Yishou, Lu Meijiao and Ye Xiaoyu. Compared to the six or seven people before, tonight seemed particularly deserted and empty.
Seeing Lu Meijiao happily chatting with Lu Yishou on the side, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little emotional, Lu Yishou and Lu Meijiao are brother and sister, they must have been intimate when they grew up together, but as they grew older, after everyone had their own families and careers, no matter how good the relationship was, it would slowly fade, and the people who were once the most intimate may eventually become a nodding friend who can only meet and greet each other, not because of indifference, but because of the price that must be borne by growth.
Just like now, when he became an adult, Lu Yishou has Jiang Ping and Lu Qian, and Lu Meijiao is also married to a wife, and has a sunny day, each of them has a new focus of life and a new object of care, and it is impossible for brothers and sisters to get along as closely as when they were children. And now that her marriage has changed and she has returned to her parents' house, Lu Meijiao, who lives in Lu Yishou's house, is no longer the innocent Lu sister's sister when she was young, plus she is afraid of Jiang Ping and Lu Qian, so she is even more estranged from Lu Yishou. Today, because Lu Jiangping and Lu Qian were not there, Lu Meijiao relaxed a lot anyway, so she also talked a lot.
Ye Xiaoyu also had a playmate in his previous life, he lived next door to Ye Xiaoyu's house, went to school together every day, and once said to each other that they would be together forever, but later, somehow the two of them gradually became estranged, not because they didn't want to contact, but when they grew up, they had their own lives, their own friends, their own topics, people are like this, sometimes it's not that they don't want to contact, but after the relationship becomes rusty, even if they are contacted, they don't know what to say, the cruelty of time is not to make people get old, It's about making people people who they couldn't have imagined.
"Xiaoyu, eat more, there are so many dishes today, can you taste this chicken ......"
Lu Yishou watched Ye Xiaoyu slowly pick up rice on the side, and put a piece of chicken in her bowl.
"Well, thank you, Uncle Lu......"
Lu Yishou's words pulled Ye Xiaoyu out of his contemplation, and when he saw the chicken in the bowl, Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly thanked him.
"It's all a family, don't be so polite......"
Lu Yishou said while picking up vegetables.
"Brother, you have a good harvest in the countryside this time?"
Lu Meijiao asked with a smile.
"Well, this year there is good rain, there are many sunny days, the wind and rain are smooth, the crops are growing well, and the harvest is good."
Lu Yishou's face was full of joy.
"That's good, what I'm most afraid of is that there is a lot of rain and the crops are rotting in the ground, so we croppers rely on the sky to eat......
Lu Meijiao continued thoughtfully.
"Meijiao, when did you start caring so much about food?"
Seeing Lu Meijiao's caring look, Lu Yishou felt very incredible.
"Brother, how can I say that I am also from a farmer's background, I know that it is better than you......"
Lu Meijiao said unconvinced.
"That's ...... before"
Lu Yishou replied a little sadly.
"Oh, by the way, Xiaoyu, I almost forgot, there's something to tell you......"
Lu Yishou suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Ye Xiaoyu.
"Uncle Lu, is there anything wrong?"
"Well, I guess your Aunt Lu has already told you that this time is winter, and the weather is freezing, and you can't work in the field, even if you plant something, it will be wilted by frost and snow; A few of you are not small, and it is time to read and read and recognize words, so I plan to invite a gentleman back to teach you to recognize a few words, and it will become customized in the future, and every winter, when there is no work in the field, you have to study with Mr. at home. It just so happens that I know a gentleman who is free at this time and can come and teach you. β
Wow...... Listening to Lu Yishou's words, Ye Xiaoyu had mixed feelings, she didn't expect Lu Yishou to be so thoughtful as a farmer, not only prepared land for them, but also invited Mr. to teach them to read and write during the slack time, although Ye Xiaoyu felt that her current cultural Cheng DΓΉ may be much higher than that of Mr. Teaching, but to be able to return to the simple reading period, Ye Xiaoyu is nostalgic and happy.
"Xiaoyu, your father is a scholar, you should be able to recognize some words, right?"
Lu Yishou asked.
"Well, when Daddy was here, he taught me some basic words......"
Ye Xiaoyu said while eating the chicken that Lu Yishou sandwiched into her bowl.
"Yes, it can be seen from the fact that you borrowed books from me, but unfortunately, Uncle is a rough man, and there are no books to lend you to read, but I am a rough person myself, but I can't delay you, and I will study hard with Mr. in the future."
Lu Yishou said as he took a lot of vegetables and put them in Ye Xiaoyu's bowl.
"Uncle Lu, I already have a lot of dishes here......"
The dishes in Ye Xiaoyu's bowl were about to be unable to put down.
"It's okay, you eat more, look at you so thin, now is really the time to grow your body, eat more to grow faster."
"Yes, yes, Xiaoyu, you eat more, this year's harvest is good, don't worry about your Uncle Lu running out of money......"
Lu Meijiao said with a smile on the side.
I have been in the Lu family for so long, tonight is Ye Xiaoyu's happiest night, without Lu Qian's cold words, without Lu Jiangping's strict face, everyone sits together in harmony, cares about each other, chats with each other and eats dinner, this is a warm family atmosphere, but the next time I want to feel such an atmosphere, I don't know how long I will have to wait.
"I don't eat!!! β¦β¦β
When Ye Xiaoyu passed by Lu Qian's yard after eating, she heard Lu Qian's voice coming from inside.
"Miss, how much can you eat......
"Don't !!! β¦β¦β
"Smack......
Ye Xiaoyu heard the sound of many dishes breaking, and it was estimated that Lu Qian had pushed all the food to the ground.
"Lu'er, you go to the East Chamber to call the master......"
Lu Qian's personal maid Ying'er whispered to another little girl, Lu'er, outside the door.
When Lu'er got the word, she ran away.
Ye Xiaoyu has already returned to her house, and she doesn't know who provoked Miss Lu today, with Ye Xiaoyu's experience, Lu Qian's temper today is not so good that it can be calmed down.
Thinking that he hadn't had any contact with Lu Qian all day, Ye Xiaoyu felt a little lucky.
After listening to Lu'er, he immediately rushed to Nanyuan, and as soon as he entered Lu Qian's yard, he felt exhausted and had a headache when he saw the porcelain fragments in the house.
"Qianqian, what's wrong with you? Who you off and made such a big fuss. β
"Knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's father", how can Lu Yishou not know what kind of personality and temper Lu Yishou has, it must be no big deal, but based on Lu Qian's strange nature, Lu Yishou can only say good things patiently.
"Hmph!!!! β¦β¦β
Seeing Lu Yishou, Lu Qian turned his head to the other side and ignored him.
"Daddy brought you a lot of sweet potatoes from the countryside this time, can Daddy bake them for you?"
"The ghost wants to eat sweet potatoes !!!"
As soon as she heard the word "sweet potato", Lu Qian immediately thought of Ling Yu's rejection of her in the garden in the afternoon, and couldn't help but be even more angry.
"Okay, okay, let's not eat sweet potatoes and don't eat sweet potatoes...... Then what are you going to eat, Daddy will do it for you. β
Lu Yishou sat next to Lu Qian and continued patiently.
"I don't even eat !!"
Since running back in the afternoon, Lu Qian has been holding back the fire in her belly, and the more she thinks about it, the more angry she becomes. Why can Ling Yu treat himself like this, he is so good to him, how can he refuse himself......
