Chapter 24: Back to the door
On the afternoon after enjoying the delicious food in the grandmother's house, Fei Guang took Chen Lu around the village, visited and paid a courtesy visit to the elders of the family.
At that time, as the new daughter-in-law, Chen Lu would be warmly received at the VIP level no matter who she walked into, which invisibly added a sense of superiority to her heart.
In the evening after returning from the visit, Fei Guang went to see his grandmother Li He again. On the one hand, I want to see her physical condition, and on the other hand, I want to ask her a question.
"Grandma, I heard you mention in the morning that a new daughter-in-law has been added to the family to bring good news to grandpa. Tomorrow, I'll take Chen Lu to burn a piece of paper for my grandfather, and I'll officially report it, right?" After entering the house and seeing that his grandmother was fine, Fei Guang asked.
"There's no need to go, yesterday and today, I've reported this joy to your grandfather several times!" After talking to Dr. Xue Shan on the phone at noon, changing the new prescription, and taking the new medicine, Li He's condition has been alleviated a lot at this time, and he answered Fei Guang with a new mental outlook.
"Grandma is just a word of mouth, I think about taking Lulu to Grandpa's grave and meeting him with the real person?"
Although Fei Guang is not superstitious about other ghosts and gods, he believes that his deceased grandfather has a soul, and the soul lives in the grave. So he said this with piety, from the bottom of his heart.
"There's no hurry about this, I'll ask you something first!" Li He said, motioned for Fei Guang to sit on the bench, and sat down himself.
"You say, grandma!" Fei Guang moved the bench closer to Li He and sat down to speak.
"Did you live with Lulu when you were working in Guangzhou?" Li He couldn't wait to ask.
Li He was bothered by this question for an afternoon. She is a little too "protective of the calf", she is afraid that her grandson, who is honest and does not understand the affairs of men and women, will be deceived.
In fact, since she came back from buying medicine, she wanted to go to Fei Guang to ask for an understanding, but Fei Guang was inseparable from Chen Lu all afternoon, walking around the village to visit. She had no way to rashly call Fei Guang over alone for questioning, for fear of arousing Chen Lu's suspicion and dissatisfaction. Coincidentally, now that she has a chance, of course she can't wait to ask.
"Uh...... Stayed together! Fei Guang hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Is that a ...... 'measure' not taken?" Li He asked directly.
"Huh? This ......" Fei Guang was a little embarrassed to speak after hearing this question, paused, and continued, "I paid more attention in the first few months, but I didn't pay much attention to it in the month or two before I came back to my hometown!" ”
"Then my heart will be in my stomach! Ha...... Ha! When Li He heard this, his face turned cloudy for a moment, and he laughed.
Seeing Li He's sudden cloudy turn, Fei Guang was stunned, not understanding what she meant.
"Lulu may be pregnant, you're going to be a dad, stinky boy!" After laughing, Li He patted Fei Guang on the shoulder and said.
"Really?" Fei Guang still didn't understand.
"Probably so!" Li He continued.
"Huh?" Fei Guang was a little stunned when he heard this, and he was excited and worried for a while.
I am excited that I and Chen Lu have the crystallization of love, and he is going to be a father. The worry was that he did not have a stable income to support his children at that time.
"If you don't have a stable income, you can't be shy and use your wife's private bride price money to raise children!" He thought so.
"Ahh Li He interrupted Fei Guang's thoughts.
"If you're really pregnant, what do you need to pay attention to?" Fei Guang put away his worries and asked.
"There's a lot to pay attention to."
"First of all, it's definitely not okay to take her to burn paper for your grandfather. There is a lot of yin in the cemetery, and pregnant people can't go, which is a big taboo! ”
"It's late today, take her for a check-up tomorrow, and I'll tell you about the follow-up precautions slowly!" After Li He finished speaking, he sent Fei Guang away with a smile.
……
On the third day of marriage, it was the day when Chen Luniang's family came to her in-law's house to take her "back to the door".
With the new daughter-in-law Chen Lu "back to the door", the mother's family came a lot, including 7-8 male guests including father Chen Quan and younger brother Tianci, and the female guests were mother Xiuhua, eldest sister Chen Mei, third sister Chen Zhu, fourth sister Chen Ju, and younger sister Chen Yu.
This lineup is lively enough, enough for Fei Guang's family to set up another wedding banquet!
At that time, he was only thinking about the excitement, and Fei Guang didn't ask why Chen Lu's aunt, aunt, and aunt didn't come. These women are all Chen Lu's closest relatives, and when they asked the girl to "go back", they should have been there. Even if some of them may not be at home because they are out working, it is unreasonable to not be there for any of them!
Fei Guang will not be investigated, but Li He will be investigated. Son Fei Song does not pay attention to these details, and daughter-in-law Ye Zi loves to ignore family affairs, so she has to worry a little more.
So she secretly calculated in her heart that she had to ask someone to inquire about this unreasonable reason. Sure enough, after several inquiries, she finally figured out the true situation of Chen Lu's father and mother's life.
After figuring out this situation, she worried for a while, worried that Chen Lu's personality would follow her father's mother. It's a pity that worry can't solve the problem, what should come will always come, and no one can stop it!
Of course, these are all later words, let's not mention them for the time being, and now let's just talk about this "return to the door".
……
At the "Huimen" banquet, the men drank with red faces and thick necks, and the women ate happily and comfortably, making the atmosphere really lively and joyful!
However, behind the excitement and joy, there are so many people who are not happy, or distressed.
……
The rule in his hometown is that the newlyweds will be separated for three days during the "return to the door" and cannot see each other, so Chen Lu is distressed.
Although she Chen Lu is not a person who follows the rules, her father, mother, younger brother Tianci and husband Fei Guang are a little solid-eyed. As a result of the discussion between several of them, Chen Lu unanimously rejected Chen Lu's idea of taking Fei Guang to "return to the door".
"Isn't it a matter of letting yourself and your inseparable newlywed lover live for three days without seeing each other?"
"After I came back from Guangzhou, before I got married, although I didn't live with Fei Guang for more than ten days, I met and dated every day!"
"Hey! Blue Skinny ...... Shiitake ......"
After Chen Lu's thoughts were active again, he silently recited this classic line in the mouth of Guangxi in his heart. (Although the phrase "blue thin, shiitake mushrooms" only officially became popular in 2016, Chen Lu was familiar with it in advance because he had more people in Guangxi when he was in Guangzhou.) )
Fei Guang's distress, in addition to the depression of being separated from his lover, is also worried that he will not find a good way out to support his wife and children.
At the same time, Chen Yu and Fei Qing are also distressed, because their parents are opposed to their proposed engagement.
"The sisters marry the brothers, they are too close, this spatula touches the horse spoon, and after a long time, there will be a problem, no, no, but no!" Chen Yu's father, Chen Quan, described it like this.
"Between concubines, it has been difficult to put aside since ancient times, there have been examples of sisters marrying brothers, cousins marrying cousins, and in the end, there are many who turn against each other and get along with each other."
"I don't want to see you two turn against each other, and I don't approve of it!"
Chen Yu's mother Xiuhua said this.
"You're a college student, and that little girl didn't even go to high school, so her education level is not comparable."
"You kid is a ghost now, and it will be too late when you find out the gap one day!"
"If you want to fall in love, find an alumnus in the university, I don't agree with this girl."
Fei Qing's father, Fei Ming, has a clear attitude.
"First of all, your new sister-in-law Chen Lu looks strangely beautiful, but her fierce face doesn't look good."
"Even if my sister is kind and kind, what can I learn from such a sister."
"Fierce daughter-in-law, let's not wait."
"While it's not going to be good yet, hurry up and cut through the mess and break it!"
Fei Qing's mother, Yao Yun, likes to show people faces, and often judges people by their appearance and speculates in vain, so she says so.
……
With these inside information, Chen Lu, Fei Guang, Chen Yu, and Fei Qing were of course tasteless at the banquet, of course, they were very worried, and of course they were very distressed.
Not only did I have trouble at the banquet, but I was even more sad when I parted in the evening!
……
Before parting, Chen Lu took Fei Guang to their new house, locked the door, closed the window, and lingered again.
"Lulu, grandma says you might be pregnant!" After lingering, Fei Guang said what his grandmother Li He had said.
"Oh, really?" Chen Lu asked in surprise.
"Well, I don't know how she judges, but the tone sounds pretty sure!" Fei Guang hugged Chen Lu in his arms and said in a slightly sad tone.
"It's a good thing to be pregnant, why do you look a little sad?" At that time, Chen Lu was very good at Fei Guang's facial expressions, and he could always read the thoughts behind his expressions.
"After pregnancy, you can't ...... anymore Is that so?" Fei Guang expressed his superficial concern.
His deep concern is the issue of raising a wife and children. He is a person who only does but does not say, and likes to do it, rather than asking for credit and boasting about himself. He believes that the problem of raising a family is a matter for men, and women should not be left to worry too much. So this deep worry, he didn't allow himself to say it to Chen Lu.
"Even if it's really pregnant, it's just the beginning, you see, the stomach hasn't reacted yet, it shouldn't affect ...... Let's do it! Chen Lu hadn't deliberately popularized the knowledge of pregnant mothers before, and when answering Fei Guang's question, she was not sure of the words.
"You go back and check on the Internet, or consult a doctor, I'll pick you up in three days!" After Fei Guang kissed Chen Lu for a while, he said to her.
"Uh-huh!" Chen Lu responded sweetly.
"Let's go downstairs, it's getting dark, my sister and Chen Yu are still waiting to take you back to your parents' house, it won't be good to be found by them later......"
"Wait a minute~" After Chen Lu finished speaking, she pressed Fei Guang, who was about to get up and dressed, into the quilt and kissed him back.
Regarding the matter of kissing her husband Fei Guang, she is not willing to suffer more.
"Every time he takes the initiative to kiss me, I have to take the initiative to make up for it, but I can't let myself suffer so much!" In the days when she was newly married, she often laughed at herself like this in her heart.
……
While Chen Lu and Fei Guang lingered before parting, Chen Yu was taken by Fei Qing to the pond at the east end of the village, and he also said goodbye.
In that time, Chen Yu did not say his parents' disapproval, and Fei Qing did not say his parents' disagreement. The two just tacitly agreed like that, and neither of them mentioned the engagement anymore.
In that farewell time, he promised to "not marry her", and she vowed "not to marry him"!
……
At dusk when the sun was setting and the twilight was dreary, the infatuated lovers of two men and two women parted for a while.
Although it is temporary, it is also an inseparable parting......
