Chapter 8: The God of Luck
Xinlan picked some peppers and beans in the field, picked some wild vegetables in the field, filled a basket, and estimated in her heart that the cinnamon branch should be finished, so she carried the basket and went home.
The vegetable patch is not far from home, and the road is lined with tall paulownia trees, and the branches that cling to each other form a green corridor, and the sunlight spills some light into the ground through the swaying branches and leaves, dappled and dappled. Xinlan walked under the promenade, the breeze blowing in her face, her heart was fresh, unconsciously, as if walking on the avenue full of sycamores in Xijing, walking and walking, Xinlan suddenly realized her trance, thinking of her parents in Xijing, or after visiting before the Spring Festival, she has not written to contact her for nearly 3 months, it is her own unfilial piety as a daughter, so she doesn't know the family situation of her parents, so she wants to go home and write a letter to greet her, but considering the matter of Lu Dong's object in the past two days, there should be eyebrows, At that time, I could also let my parents share the joy, so I made up my mind to press my mood and wait for Lu Dong's affairs to be completed before writing.
Xinlan returned home, and Lu Dong had just finished cleaning up the kitchen. Seeing Xinlan come back, she took the basket in her mother's hand, sprinkled the wild vegetables on it to the chickens, and hung the other vegetables on the kitchen wall, and scooped a scoop of water into the basin and brought it to her mother to wash her hands.
Xinlan noticed Lu Dong's changes, and smiled a little surprised: "Yohe, what's the situation?" ”
Lu Dong didn't expect that such a small move of his mother would surprise his mother so much, so he could see how incompetent he had done before, so he smiled and scratched his head embarrassedly, and said in the dialogue of the movie: "Mom, there will be bread, and everything will be in the future!" ”
Xinlan looked at Lu Dong's appearance, "hehe" and said with a light smile: "Today, you are considered to have grown up!" ”
Lu Dong smiled and said: "Mom, in fact, I have already grown up, but I didn't realize my shortcomings, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”
When Xinlan heard this, she smiled and said, "Heh, I'm still modest." What are some of the things that have made you so different? ”
Lu Dong heard his mother ask this, and felt that the marriage should no longer be hidden from his mother, so he brought out the matter of the person introduced by Tuo Guizhi.
After hearing this, Xinlan pretended to know all this as if she had just known and said, "It turns out that Guizhi has been looking for you for the past two days for this matter!" Make the most of this opportunity, Lu Dong. The girl she introduced must be good, before she arrives at home, she can already change your development in the direction of goodness, she may be the lucky god of our family! ”
Lu Dong heard his mother say this, and hurriedly continued: "Mom, I haven't written a word about this matter yet, and I won't know if I have seen it on a cloudy day." I'll try to, though. ”
Xinlan nodded, with a serious look in her eyes. "Yes, whether it is successful or not, you should also prepare in the afternoon, go to the county for a haircut and take a bath, go to the cloudy day to look energetic, and when you come back, buy some melon seeds and candies to send to Guizhi's family, you can't let people work hard and stick money to help you. You say, don't you? ”
Lu Dong continued: "Mom, what you said makes sense, I'll go in the afternoon." ”
When Lu Dong returned home from his errands in the afternoon, it was already dark. Fusheng had already returned, and the meal for the two of them was ready to stop, and they were anxiously waiting for Lu Dong to come back. Seeing Lu Dong enter the door, there were big bags and small bags hanging on the handlebars, Fusheng hurriedly stood up to help, took the things that Lu Dong took off, and put them on the cylinder head on the side. Lu Dong tied up the car and didn't sit down to eat, but walked to the cylinder head, picked up the big bag of things and said to his parents: "Dad-Mom-, I bought two packets of food, and the small packets are left for our family, and I will send the big bags over now." It's too late, I'm afraid it's inconvenient. Let's eat first! I'll be right back. ”
Hearing Lu Dong say this, the two of them thought about it, so they said in unison: "Go quickly, go quickly!" ”
Lu Dong carried a large bag of things, came to Haihai's house, directly pushed open the hidden courtyard door, and walked straight towards the hall. The seawater family had finished eating, Gui Zhi was cleaning up the table, looked up and saw Lu Dong coming in with something, and hurriedly asked, "Lu Dong, did you drink soup?" ”
Lu Dong said: "Not yet, I'll drink it when I go back." I'll send my purchases first. ”
Gui Zhi asked, "What is it?" ”
Lu Dong put the bag on the table and said: "I bought some melon seed sugar pastries and divided them into two packets, both of which are in this bag, the big bag is for my aunt and uncle to eat, and the small bag is for cloudy days." ”
When Haishui heard Lu Dong say this, he tilted his head and pretended to be angry: "Take it away!" I'll just let your sister-in-law buy some on a cloudy day, and you can prepare it! ”
Gui Zhi also continued: "That's it, I will prepare it on a cloudy day, take it back and let my aunt and uncle eat it!" After speaking, he went to pick up the things on the table and gave them to Lu Dong.
Lu Dong hurriedly pushed and said in an accentuated tone: "Don't push, listen to me." It's all over, don't go back and forth, I'll give them a skimm. Besides, that's what I should! After Lu Dong finished speaking, he took the bag in Gui Zhi's hand and put it back on the table.
Gui Zhi saw that Lu Dong insisted on not taking it, so he stopped arguing, so he pulled a chair and asked Lu Dong to sit down and say. Lu Dong excused himself to go back to dinner, so he wanted to leave.
Seeing that Lu Dong was leaving, Haihai hurriedly stopped Lu Dong and said solemnly: "Little brother, I tell you: You can pay attention on cloudy days, give your brother and me a long face, don't throw people to other villages!" ”
Lu Dong and Hai Hai are used to making trouble, and when they see Hai Hai Zheng's serious appearance, they feel funny, and they are busy and solemnly said: "Hai Hai, Gui Zhi is here, you can pretend to be here, you know what you do." By the way, let me ask again: did you still hurt your butt when you fell in the morning? ”
Haishui didn't expect Lu Dong to ask like this, as soon as Lu Dong's voice fell, he moved over Lu Dong's shoulder, and pretended to gently push Lu Dong's ass with his knee and said, "Do you say that your butt hurts!" Do you say your ass hurts!"
Lu Dong struggled and begged for mercy again and again.
Gui Zhi on the side saw that the two were making trouble again, and hurriedly stopped: "Haihai, don't make trouble, Lu Dong hasn't eaten yet, let him go back to eat, maybe my aunt and uncle are still waiting." ”
As soon as Haishui heard Gui Zhi say this, it was not good to make trouble again, so he stopped. Lu Dong said goodbye and went home.
When Lu Dong returned home, his parents had already finished eating. Xinlan and Fusheng saw Lu Dong come back, and hurriedly asked Lu Dong to sit down and eat. Lu Dong sat down while responding, but he saw his parents staring at him eating, and he felt uncomfortable, so he said to his parents: "The two of you stand here and watch me eat, I can see that I am hairy, I can't eat." Is there something to say? ”
Xinlan looked at Fusheng, smiled and said to Lu Dong: "It's like this when you eat, it's just that you don't usually care, but you are too careful today, right?" ”
After listening to Xinlan, Fusheng also smiled, and continued without waiting for Lu Dong to speak: "Actually, it's not that you are too careful, after all, the cloudy day is also a major event in our family, so let's see if I can help you and prepare some money and clothes?" ”
Lu Dong heard his parents say this, and hurriedly continued: "Dad, Mom, you don't need to prepare anything, I'll wear it very clean and energetic." Besides, it's people who look at each other relatively well, not conditions, if they dislike us like Wan Feng and his cousin's family did last time, I won't look for it. ”
When Xinlan heard Lu Dong say this, she panicked and hurriedly said: "Don't talk about this on a cloudy day, don't mention this, don't mention this, it's taboo." You know? ”
Lu Dongdao: "I know." Don't worry, wait until after the cloudy afternoon! Dad, Mom, don't talk about it again, I'll be quiet. ”
Xinlan and her family heard her son say this, and they were embarrassed to disturb their son again, so they had to do this.
