Chapter 35: Kicked Lu Nanzhou
The uncle and aunt next door are still there spreading pancakes and fruits, fried twist flowers.
Seeing that Xu Lan came to set up a stall again today, and came so late, the market was about to disperse, so he talked to her and asked:
"Girl, I haven't seen you for a few days, why haven't you come to set up a stall in the past few days?"
Xu Lan replied while lowering his head and sorting out the things he was going to use for a while:
"There was something at home a few days ago, and it was delayed for a few days, so I didn't come out to set up a stall."
"And what are you selling today?"
The uncle next door looked at the ingredients in Xu Lan's box and asked with some curiosity.
"I'm selling baked cold noodles today, and I'll make you a taste later."
After speaking, Xu Mu smiled at the uncle, and then continued to be busy.
Lu's mother was there to help, but she glanced at the talking uncle curiously, and saw that his clothes were clean and tidy, and he was standing there with two long chopsticks in his hands to fry twist flowers.
Although her actions are quick, Lu Mu has lived for more than 40 years, and she has seen too many people of all kinds, and she can still tell at a glance whether she is working or not.
The uncle in front of him has a literati temperament, and he doesn't look like a person who came out to set up a stall to beg for a living.
Seeing that he asked in a familiar tone what Xu Mo had been doing these days, it must have been an acquaintance, Lu Mu put away the doubts in her heart, and greeted them with a smile.
The uncle next door had already seen Mother Lu, but because he couldn't figure out her identity, and it was a little abrupt to take the initiative to ask someone's identity, he didn't take the initiative to say hello, waiting for Xu Lan to take the initiative to introduce him.
At this time, I saw that Lu Mu took the initiative to greet her, and if she didn't respond, it would be a little rude.
The uncle next door first smiled and nodded to Lu Mu, looked at Lu Mu, guessed her identity in his heart, and asked in a somewhat uncertain voice when he spoke:
"You kid, is Xu Lan's sister?"
Mother Lu almost laughed when she heard this, thinking that this uncle is too good at talking, who doesn't like others to praise themselves for being young.
Who would have thought that her oldest child was almost thirty.
In fact, it's no wonder that the uncle next door will ask the wrong question, Lu's mother looks young, and a black dress sets off her elegance and temperament, so at first glance, she looks like she is in her thirties, and she can't see that she is almost fifty years old.
"Uncle, this is my mother-in-law."
Xu Lan had just made a baked cold noodle and handed it to the customer, but she heard the uncle next door come to say this, and she explained funny.
When the uncle next door heard this, he knew that he had made a mistake, so he looked at Lu Mu with some embarrassment, and then turned around and praised her:
"Oh, it turned out to be this girl's mother-in-law, I can't see it at all, this looks too young."
"Xu Lan, this child is good, he can endure hardships and be capable, your family is blessed to have such a daughter-in-law!"
"If I hadn't asked Xu Lan if she had a partner, and she said that she was already married, I would have abducted her home as a daughter-in-law!"
The uncle next door sighed even after speaking, thinking that such a good child was someone else's daughter-in-law after all, how good it would be if he could meet Xu Lan earlier.
But after all, it was a step too late.
It was almost 12 o'clock, and the stalls selling vegetables around were basically closed and went home, leaving only those who sold snacks to continue to set up stalls here.
There are not many people at this time, and the lady next door also came to talk, and she opened her mouth with all kinds of praises:
"This girl not only cooks, but also does business."
As he spoke, he pointed to the people in front of Xu Lan's booth:
"How remote our location is, you see our pancake stall, there are basically no people, and most of the customers who come here are old customers."
"She hasn't come to set up a stall these days, but many people have come to ask!"
"And every time she sets up a stall, the tricks are different, the first time is spicy hot, the second time is beef plate noodles, and the third time is claypot rice."
"It's all new things that we haven't heard of, and the most important thing is that it's delicious!"
The aunt next door gave a thumbs up as she spoke.
After hearing these words, Lu Mu only felt that her brain was a little messy.
In her impression, Xu Lan didn't know how to cook.
She and Xu Lan have lived together for so long, when they were at home, Xu Lan also helped the family do some housework, and every time she cooked, Xu Lan would rush over to help light the fire.
But the result?
Every time Xu Lan helped, it was a mess, and as soon as she lit the fire, the house was in shambles.
The house was full of smoke, and the cooking time expanded from one hour to two hours.
Over time, as long as it was someone from their family, they would not let Xu Yan get close to the kitchen.
After all, not helping is her best help.
And Xu Lan in front of him seems to be reborn, not only proficient in cooking, but also able to make money in business.
Although Lu Mu was puzzled, she was also firm that it was the right choice for her to let Xu Lan enter the city.
After all, who doesn't want their children to get better and better!
…
Back at Lu's house, Xu Lan took out all the money he had just earned from his pocket and counted how much he had earned.
Lu Mu opened her mouth wide in shock, and she looked at Xu Mu counting the money in one corner, two corners, one piece, five yuan, and ten yuan.
She was simply stunned.
Such a large box of baked cold noodles was sold so hard, and Lu Mu still felt a little incredible.
And make so much money!
You must know that the current per capita salary is only more than 60 per month, and Xu Lan set up a stall to do business, and he earned the money that others earned in ten days in one day.
How eye-popping this is!
Lu Mu subconsciously glanced at the room, and after making sure that there was no one, she pressed the money on the table.
Xu Mo raised his head inexplicably.
Seeing Lu Mu looking at herself nervously:
"Good girl, this is so much money, let's put it away first."
"Let's keep ourselves and count quietly, don't let people see it."
"You must not let Lu Nanzhou know about this money, the girl has to leave some money for herself, and if you don't like Lu Nanzhou, we can still dump him, right?"
After hearing this, Xu Nanzhou flashed a few black lines on her forehead, and her mother-in-law seemed to have forgotten that Lu Nanzhou was her son.
Wang Xue covered her mouth immediately after speaking, realizing that what she said was wrong, but it was only a few seconds, and then she added:
"It's a blessing to have you for him Lu Nanzhou!"
Xu Mu: "......"
How can my mother-in-law break it if she is too jumpy?
I'm in a hurry to wait online!
…
When Lu Nanzhou and Lu's father came back, it was already after four o'clock in the afternoon, and the dinner was made by Lu's mother, with a standard four dishes and one soup.
At the dinner table, Lu Nanzhou only felt that something was wrong with his mother, and for some reason her eyes kept falling on him, staring at him a little hairy.
He looked at Lu's mother, then picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish, and was just about to put it in the bowl when he saw Lu's mother frantically giving him a look.
Following Lu Mu's eyes, seeing her looking at Xu Lan, and then looking at the chopsticks in his hand, Lu Nanzhou suddenly realized, and put a prawn from a nearby plate into Xu Lan's bowl.
Seeing this, Lu Mu showed a relieved gaze.
Silly boy, if you don't treat your daughter-in-law well, you won't know if you become an old bachelor one day.
Suddenly, Wang Xue remembered that they had just come back from Li Cuiqing, so she thought about asking a question:
"What's going on with your grandmother?"
