On the ninth day of October, the day when Lu Li and Su Xiaoman returned to the door.

Lu Li put more than ten catties of roe deer meat into the basket, thought about it, and took out a few pieces of animal fur from the box.

"It's cold, and these pieces of fur are just right for my father-in-law to use as foot guards."

Su Xiaoman got up early in the morning, and he was not in a good mood.

To this day, she still doesn't want to go back, she doesn't want to see Su's father, and she doesn't want to see her stepmother, when she thinks of them, Su Xiaoman will remember the pain of being alone that day.

Lu Li saw that she was engrossed, and he didn't bother her, but just took out a gray-blue coarse cloth package from the end of the kang and put it on her hand.

With a sinking hand, Su Xiaoman came back to his senses and looked at the faded but lightweight package in his hand, "What is this?" ”

"Open it and take a look."

Su Xiaoman obediently opened it little by little, and after seeing what was in the package, his eyes widened in astonishment.

The package turned out to be a string of copper coins! At a cursory glance, there are as many as 40 strings!

Su Xiaoman has grown so big, and he has never seen so much money!

"This ...... It's ......"

"This is what I have earned from hunting in the past few years," Lu Li smiled, "Because my prey is relatively fresh, many old customers are also willing to add some money, and I don't have much money to use on weekdays, so I save little by little." ”

Su Xiaoman was amazed, but also had a deeper understanding of Lu Li's hunting skills.

She wrapped the package as it was and handed it back to Lu Li.

Lu Li didn't accept it.

"This is for you, you are now the mistress of this house, and it is natural to take care of the money." Lu Li looked at Su Xiaoman with a soft smile between his eyebrows.

Su Xiaoman was both overjoyed and at a loss, and finally firmly pushed the package to Lu Li, "This money is still taken back to the original place, I will definitely take it if necessary, thank you, Lu Li." ”

Thank you for your help, thank you for your trust, and thank you for your concern for me.

Lu Li didn't say anything, just wrapped it and put it back under the kang tail to put it away.

"Let's go."

Su Qi sat on the threshold smoking a pipe, raising his eyes from time to time to look in the direction of the back mountain, and Su Xiaoling, who was drying beans in the yard, pouted when she saw this.

What is there to wait for, Su Xiaoman will definitely not come back, where does she have the face to come back? I really don't know what her dad was expecting.

Su Xiaoling was muttering in her heart, but Su Qi suddenly stood up in a panic, and the pipe in his hand hit the ground without realizing it.

Su Xiaoman looked at Su Qi's increasingly stiff back, and shouted with mixed feelings: "Daddy......"

"Hey...... Ay...... It's good to come back, it's good to come back......"

Lu Li picked up the pipe and handed it to Su's father, and then shouted "father-in-law".

Su Xiaoling in the courtyard widened her eyes, Su Xiaoman actually returned to the door?

Su Xiaoling and Su Xiaoman, the half-sister, have never dealt with each other, and when they knew that they had a good family affair because of Su Xiaoman, they even held a grudge against Su Xiaoman.

Su Qi didn't notice this, and asked Su Xiaoling to come over to meet her sister and brother-in-law, while urging Zhang Xiuqin to hurry up and prepare lunch.

Zhang Xiuqin, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the voice and hurriedly walked out, she was afraid that Su Xiaoman would not come back today, and she was still thinking about Su Xiaoman's dowry money and return gift!

Seeing the two big baskets that Lu Li was carrying, Zhang Xiuqin rarely showed a smile, "Coming?" What about the dowry money? Bring it or not? ”

The smile on Su Qi's face froze for a moment, and he glared at Zhang Xiuqin fiercely, "...... Money, money, money! You know the money when you see the sky! Hurry up and cook! ”

Su Qi has read books and passed the Xiucai exam, unlike many big and three rough croppers in the village, just because of the extra ink in his stomach, even if he was lame a few years ago, he spoke to people gently, and rarely got angry, and it was the first time he was so angry today.

Zhang Xiuqin was stunned by Su Qi like this, and returned to the firewood room in a gloomy manner.

Su Xiaoman and Lu Li put down the basket, and Lu Li took out a red paper bag from his arms and handed it to Su Qi.

"Father-in-law, this is Xiaoman's dowry money, and I didn't hire well because the marriage was too urgent, so I simply took advantage of the return door to send the dowry together."

Lu Li took the bride price out of the basket and put it on the table.

It is said that from the preparation of the dowry, it can be seen that the man's attitude towards the marriage is not serious, and the dowry brought by Lu Li can be said to be very attentive.

Two male and two female chickens, two ten catties of pork, two carps, two catties of four-color candy, twelve catties of glutinous rice and three catties of sugar and two taels, this is already a very complete dowry.

Seeing this, Su Qi let go of half of the worries in his heart.

It seems that this Orion, surnamed Lu, is indeed interested in his daughter.

Merely......

"It's not easy for you little couple to be on the mountain, I accepted the things, forget the gift money, you can treat Xiaoman well in the future."

As he spoke, Su Qi was about to stuff the dowry money in his hand back to Lu Li.

Lu Li excused him, Su Xiaoman's eyes were complicated, and he said loudly: "Dad, you can take it, I can't come back often in the future, you have a little money by your side, and I can feel a lot more at ease."

Su Qi sighed with a complicated expression, and finally accepted it.

Here, Su Xiaoling told Zhang Xiuqin about Su's father's refusal to accept gift money, and Zhang Xiuqin scolded and threw down the shovel to go to the front hall, but was stopped by Su Xiaoling.

"Mother, don't worry, Dad finally accepted ......"

Zhang Xiuqin breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Su Qi had a problem with her brain, and she didn't want the money sent to the door.

"You, you, you can't talk in a row!"

Su Xiaoling pouted, "You can't blame me, it's obvious that my mother didn't listen to me......"

Su Xiaoling thought about the man Su Xiaoman married just now and took out something from the basket, and complained: "Mother, I can see that Su Xiaoman's man brought a lot of things, do you say Orion is very rich?"

"Phew! What money can a broken hunter have! ”

Zhang Xiuqin had a very bad impression of Lu Li, she hadn't forgotten that the stones thrown by Lu Li made her a big mess, if she could, she couldn't wait to poison him in the dish!

"Su Xiaoman lives in the mountains with that broken hunter, and he may be eaten by wolves one day." Zhang Xiuqin speculated with the greatest malice.

"Xiaoling, don't worry, my mother will definitely find you a family affair that is more than a hundred times stronger than Su Xiaoman, what is she Su Xiaoman!"

Zhang Xiuqin's cooking skills are not very good, and the dishes she makes can only be said to be accessible, and the taste is not complimentary.

Su Xiaoman didn't have much appetite, so he put down his chopsticks without eating much.

"Dad, it's dark early on the mountain, Lu Li and I won't stay long, you take care of your body in the future."

Su Qi kept answering, watching his daughter and son-in-law leave hand in hand, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

There are some things that can't go back after all.
