Lu Dong got up in the morning, it was already more than 9 o'clock after washing his face, although he got up late and finished eating, he didn't feel hungry. The courtyard was quiet, and her mother Xinlan didn't seem to be at home.

Lu Dong was in the courtyard, stretching his waist vigorously, lifting his spirits, and then walked to his shed. I went into the shed and looked at the tools in the toolbox and the materials on the side, but I was not in the mood to do it. Think about it, after talking to Liu Qin, for a few days, I didn't do any work, and I always slept until dinner every day. I had a meal at noon, and I couldn't concentrate on my work, so I went to go on a date with Liu Qin in the evening. In this way, for a few days in a row, except for the time when I was with Liuqin, my heart was happy and full, and the rest of the time I was completely living in nothingness, and my heart was empty. After thinking about it, I felt that if I continued like this, my life would lose its direction and I couldn't waste it anymore. Lu Dong is a decisive person, and when he thought of this, he immediately took action, shook his spirits, and started to do the work as soon as he said it.

Xinlan sent the letter away, and saw that it was almost time to make lunch, so she said to Erkui Niang, and left the square to go home. As soon as she entered the courtyard gate, she heard the sound of Lu Dong doing work in the shed, Xinlan felt relieved, and felt that her son was psychologically mature, although the object of conversation was a big deal, but it can also be seen from this that his son was not indulged in chirping feelings, and he was a man who could afford to put it down. Xinlan didn't bother Lu Dong, she came directly to the kitchen, cooking and thinking that when she went to bed last night, Fusheng talked to herself about her son's affairs. According to his own meaning, let Lu Dong talk to the girl, ask for the opinions of her parents, settle the matter as soon as possible, first meet and walk away, and wait for the two to have feelings, and then the marriage of the son will be decided as soon as the meeting is over, and the marriage can be done next year. lest it be dragged backwards like this, not to mention the long nights and dreams, and it will cost energy and waste money. But Fusheng's idea is different from his own, he thinks that the object of the conversation is the mutual affection of both parties, you and I are willing, it will be a matter of course, you can't be in a hurry, you can only talk about marriage after a period of time to understand each other, or you can talk about marriage after going through the procedure first, if it doesn't work, wouldn't it be a waste of energy, and the chicken will fly and the egg will be beaten. Both of them have a point. But in terms of media, women seem to be born with better combat effectiveness than men, and in the end, Fusheng can't resist herself, and she lets herself do everything. If you really let yourself have an idea, you have to ask Lu Dong first, urging him to ask Liu Qin's meaning. Xinlan made up her mind, so she thought about talking to Lu Dong about it after eating.

The afternoon sun gradually became hot, and the leaves of the paulownia trees planted in the yard were large and dense, which played an excellent role in shading, and the budding ones were chirping continuously.

After dinner, Xinlan sat on a small chair. Before Lu Dong finished eating, he said to Lu Dong: "Lu Dong, you have been talking about the object for a few days, what does the girl look like, I didn't even see a shadow of my mother, and let me cheer up for a few days." Tell me how far you've got! ”

Lu Dong didn't rush to answer his mother's words, but scooped some water with a bowl, drank it, gargled it, sprayed it out exaggeratedly, put the bowl away, wiped his mouth with a towel, stood up and said: "What are you doing with great energy, it is yours after all, what is the use of not your lifting great strength?!" ”

"So what are you two talking about, do you think you can make it? Come sit down and talk about it. ”

Lu Dong was about to leave, but when he saw his mother's persistence in asking, he sat down and said, "Mom, don't worry, it will definitely happen." I feel this way. When I met her, I didn't know what was going on, and I felt a little like love at first sight. You haven't seen her look, and I can't describe it to you, anyway, I think it's a straight word. In general, this time I am not married, she is not married, she is not married. ”

"You dare to swear?"

"I dare!"

"And what do her parents think of the two of you?"

"Speaking of her parents, her father worked as an accountant in the brigade, and her mother was also enlightened. Her parents said that the attitude on this matter is that Liu Qin has the idea, and their opinions are only used as a reference. ”

Xinlan heard Lu Dong say this, thought about it, and said: "If that's the case, Dad and I have discussed, you ask for Liuqin's opinion, and set a time to meet and go for a walk!" ”

Lu Dong heard that his mother had discussed it with his father, and he didn't want to say more, so he agreed to ask Liu Qin before talking.

At night, on the road connecting the two Zhuangzi, there are few people except Lu Dong and Liu Qin. Although it was a full moon in the sky, there was a faint layer of clouds. The moonlight through the clouds dimmed and poured lightly on them, as well as on the golden rape flowers in the roadside fields. Because it is night, rape flowers can not show their true colors, vaguely like auspicious clouds, set off an ethereal fairyland, the road in the dream is like a jade belt, two lovers on the jade belt are clinging to each other, breathing the fragrance of rape flowers in the air, sometimes strolling softly, sometimes stopping and muttering. Everything is so warm and natural。。。。。。

During the stroll, Lu Dong remembered that his mother had explained his affairs during the day. asked Liuqin: "Liuqin, does your father have any opinions about the two of us?" ”

Liu Qin listened and asked, "He hasn't seen you yet, what opinion can he have!" ”

Lu Dong continued Liu Qin's words: "Do you have an opinion on this? ”

When Liu Qin heard this, she couldn't answer Lu Dong's words, so she had to slap Lu Dong's two pink fists like a coquettish person, and said, "It's that I have an opinion!" What do you mean? ”

Lu Dong's heart was tingling for a while, and he smiled and said: "I mean that if the truth is in me, you can tell your parents, and after getting their approval, choose a time to walk around the ceremonial arena and meet your parents and my parents with each other. ”

Liu Qin thought for a while and said, "That's the same reason." It's just that a small meeting is nothing more than a token, don't be grand. Well, I'll talk to my parents tomorrow, and if there is no accident, you will go to my house the morning after tomorrow, and I will go with you to see your parents when you go home in the afternoon, and we will finish the work in one day. If there's an accident, I'll let you know, right? ”

Lu Dong heard Liu Qin say this, and continued: "That's also in the middle of the day, the day after tomorrow is Saturday, and my two sisters will also come back, so it will be just right for them to meet their future sister-in-law later." ”

As soon as Liu Qin heard Lu Dong say this, he continued: "If that's the case, I'll ask my brother and sister-in-law to check for me the day after tomorrow to see if you're qualified." I just don't know how much you drink? ”

Lu Dong listened to Liu Qin ask about his drinking, smiled, and bragged: "Don't worry, I will behave well." As for the amount of alcohol I drink, your dad and your brother are no match for each other. It's just that the two of us still have something to do in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, so we don't dare to drink too much. Alas, it's a pity that this opportunity was taken! ”

Liu Qin heard Lu Dong say this, and without waiting for his words to fall, he continued: "You can blow it!" ”

When Lu Dong got up in the morning, his father had already gone to the construction site. Lu Dong had eaten, helped his mother clean up the kitchen, and then told his mother what he had discussed with Liu Qin last night, Xinlan listened to it, and couldn't close her mouth with a happy face, and without waiting for Lu Dong to finish speaking, she happily went back to the house and took out a hundred yuan for Lu Dong to go to the county seat to buy gifts. Lu Dong took the money, looked at his mother's happy face, and involuntarily shook his head and smiled: "Mom, see how happy you are!" Whether it succeeds or not, we will really see tomorrow, in case your child and I play a miscellaneous game tomorrow, I don't have the face to take back your 100 yuan for you. Xinlan heard Lu Dong say this, and without waiting for Lu Dong's voice to land, she slapped Lu Dong lightly on the head, and then said in a tone of complaining and instructing: "It's all about laxative words!" You can remember it for me, and when you go to the woman's house tomorrow, you can say less and attract dislike. Do you hear that? Lu Dong wanted to dodge but didn't dodge his mother's slap, turned sideways and looked back at his mother's serious appearance, scratched his head and said with a bitter smile: "I'm not too old, and my daughter-in-law will marry you home soon, you still treat me as a child, don't hit me on the head in the future, okay!" lest anyone laugh at me. Xinlan smiled, ignored her son's complaints, but asked Lu Dong what gifts he wanted to buy, Lu Dong had already thought about it in his heart, but he still wanted to ask his mother's opinion, so he asked Xinlan: "Mom, I have thought about it, it is nothing more than tobacco, alcohol and pastries, etc., just find a good one to buy, what else can you buy?" Xinlan thought for a while and said: "Liuqin's father is a scene person, and he naturally sees a lot of cigarettes and alcohol, but he hasn't drunk any wine, so you buy something similar when you buy it." In addition, buying a better box of tea also shows that you are attentive. When I went, I brought our greetings, I think he is a face-to-face person, and he won't say anything more when he likes his daughter, at most he will check for his daughter. Lu Dong knew that his mother was working hard and was afraid that he would be nervous and make a fool of himself, so he said this. But Lu Dong didn't think so in his heart, he thought that as long as he didn't lose his manners when he went, he would be generous when he got there, and he would naturally succeed. But my mother is also for her own good, and her thoughts naturally have his own reason. Lu Dong only listened to his mother's advice, pushed the car out of the house, patted the seat in the courtyard, and bent down to check the car to see that there was no problem, then he stood up and said to his mother: "Mom, I will go to the city if I have nothing else to explain." Xinlan saw that Lu Dong was about to leave, as if she had forgotten something and suddenly remembered it, she hurriedly walked to Lu Dong's side again, and asked in a low voice as if she was afraid of being heard: "Lu Dong, you go tomorrow, you are ready to buy some tokens for Liuqin." Don't you don't. Lu Dong really didn't think about this matter, when he heard others talk about it before, the man gave a handkerchief and then a small gift; And the woman is given a pen. Lu Dong didn't want to fall into the cliché, so he thought about looking for it after he got to the city, and when he heard his mother ask, he wanted to hear his mother's opinion. Xinlan seemed to have already thought about it, and said: "Why don't you buy her a handkerchief too, and I'll give you another sixty yuan when you come back, and you can give her a meeting gift, which is not a lot." What do you think? Lu Dong listened, smiled and said: "Less is a lot, but I have the money to buy tokens, and I have the wages for making furniture for others during this time, and I still have the rest after giving it to you, so you don't need to give it to me again." As for the tokens, I'll go to the city to see if there's a suitable one. After speaking, she pushed the car and was about to leave, Xinlan heard her son say this, knowing that her son was thinking about the family, but she thought that her son was talking about the object, and he couldn't do without a little money in hand, so he argued again, Lu Dong was in a hurry to leave, but it was not good to brush off his mother's kindness, and suddenly thought that although this small meeting was small, it was also a big thing in terms of etiquette, so she naturally had to inform the matchmaker that she could not cross the matchmaker's hurdle. So, he said to his mother: "Mom, ask Gui Zhi's attitude about this matter, and see if she will go tomorrow, lest people in the future know about us and say that we are ignorant." "Actually, if Lu Dong doesn't say this, Xinlan will also ask. Although I moved back from the city and didn't know much about the rural customs, I had a teaching father after all. When I wanted to move back, the old man told me that when I arrived in a new place, I must go to the countryside and follow the township, and the countryside pays attention to etiquette and must not be rude, so that I can stand firm. Therefore, after Xinlan came back, no matter whether she did it right or not, the etiquette was always in the first place, and no one picked out anything big. Hearing his son say this today, he naturally agreed to this, but he reminded Lu Dong of the token. Lu Dong had never seen his mother talk like this today. While pushing the car out, he couldn't help but raise his voice: "Know-know!" People are chattering before they are old, and they don't nag people to death when they are old. Today I will buy a cowbell and give it to Liuqin, let her hang it around her neck and you will hold it, and everyone will know that this is your Li Xinlan's daughter-in-law in the future. It's in! Xinlan had never seen Lu Dong nominate the surname of Dao to say herself, so she scolded in a hurry: "You turtle grandson!" It made Lu Dong laugh for a while.

After Lu Dong left, Xinlan remembered what her son had explained, and she didn't dare to delay, so she went out to find Gui Zhi after she was busy with family affairs, and she never thought that she just walked out of the door and happened to meet Gui Zhi to go to the square to carry water, Xinlan said what she wanted to ask for Gui Zhi's opinion, Gui Zhi sighed for a while and said: "Auntie, I won't mix in the small meeting, there are too many people to get in the way, so I don't have to affect them, what do you say, aunt?" Xinlan did not express her personal opinion immediately, for fear of directly agreeing to cause Gui Zhi to misunderstand, but thought that she was clever and asked Gui Zhi to be on the kang across the pot, so she humbly invited Gui Zhi until Gui Zhi made it clear that she meant it.
