Chapter 138: Lion Dance and Singing
Jiang Juan moved to her own house to avoid Ding An, Shen Luzhu didn't say it to Chu Yi, but now after Ding An entered the shop, he asked Jiang Juan directly about his actions, and Chu Yi guessed the reason to some extent, but it was not a good way to hide all the time, so he responded to Ding An's request.
Jiang Juan turned her head to look over in disbelief, not understanding why as soon as she said this, the main owner had already found outside, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she asked Shen Luzhu for help a little helplessly: "Cousin!"
Shen Luzhu patted her hand soothingly: "Look at you, it's not a flood beast here, didn't my cousin say that Ding Zhutou is a good person, don't be nervous...... Why don't I help you take a look at the situation first, and then you think about whether you want to have a good chat?"
Jiang Juan hesitated and nodded, "I'm sorry to trouble my cousin."
"Be polite to me!"
Last time, he didn't wait for Jiang Juan to come back from the so-called relatives' house, I thought that this time people should come back, but they still got a negative answer from the Jiang family, and then I was sure that Jiang Juan did leave the Jiang family to avoid herself.
Ding An, who was in a trance, heard the sound of the door opening, and hurriedly looked up at the back door of the shop, and saw that it was Chu Yi who pushed the door in, and looked sideways behind him, but only saw Shen Luzhu, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"Brother Chu, brother and sister."
"Brother Ding."
"Miss Jiang, she doesn't want to see me? Looks like I've got her disgusted."
Shen Luzhu looked at Ding An, who was emotionally lost because of Jiang Juan in front of him, and thought about Jiang Juan, who was struggling in the yard behind him, and decided to help them a little: "Brother Ding, cousin, she has always been a benefactor and a good person, and we are the same, cousin, she has never disliked you, I hope you can believe this, Brother Ding, it's just ......."
Ding An nodded in understanding, and interrupted Shen Luzhu's words in a somewhat bitter tone: "It's just that I don't like it, but I don't like it either."
Shen Luzhu shook his head, he didn't expect that Ding An, who had always been decisive in their eyes, would become like this for the sake of emotional matters: "Brother Ding, cousin, she was just frightened by this sudden situation, and it was a little difficult to face you for a while."
Ding An only thought that Shen Luzhu was comforting himself, although on the way to come, he thought of Jiang Juan who was afraid that he didn't like him, but he didn't know how to say it so he hid, but when he really confirmed his conjecture, his heart was still like eating Coptis chinensis, and he was so bitter and uncomfortable that he couldn't open his mouth.
"Brother and sister, can you help me persuade Miss Jiang, I have no malicious intentions, I still want to make it clear to her face to face with some words, thank you."
"Of course, it's just Brother Ding, I also have something I want to say to you first."
Ding An gestured to please: "Brother and sister, please speak."
"Brother Ding may have heard that Wang Tiecheng is my cousin's ex-husband, my cousin was hurt a lot in her last marriage, and now it is understandable to be so cautious and even evasive, I just hope that no matter what the final result of this matter is, Brother Ding can be more tolerant and understanding of her!"
When he was still detecting the case of the fake silver ticket, Ding An had already inquired about Jiang Juan and Wang Tiecheng from his aunt, and his liking for Jiang Juan seemed to start from the distress at that time, he was obviously such a timid character, but for his cousin and sister-in-law, who took good care of him, he dared to go to his ex-husband's house alone, and dared to go to the county town he had never been to to report the case alone!
Ding An now thinks of what happened to Jiang Juan, his heart still twitches unconsciously and hurts, it seems that he is too aggressive in this matter: "Thank you brother and sister!"
"It's us who should say thank you!"
After sorting out his thoughts, Ding An seemed to have a new idea: "Please let my brother and sister help me bring some words to Miss Jiang, just say that Ding An is sincere to her, but I don't want to scare her because of this, I was a little reckless before, and I asked her to bear with her, and in the future, please don't affect her life in order to hide from me, when she doesn't want to see me, I will never disturb her."
After Jiang Juan listened to Shen Luzhu's words for Ding An, she was stunned for a long time before she muttered, "Table."
Sister-in-law, is Brother Ding gone?"
"I'll leave first after saying this, my cousin wants to see him?"
Jiang Juan shook her head slowly: "Cousin-in-law, I want to stay by myself for a while."
Shen Luzhu patted Jiang Juan's shoulder: "Okay, just don't stay too long, the sun is poisonous, be careful of heat stroke."
Then he took Xiaobao's hand and went back to the room, leaving Jiang Juan alone in the courtyard to think for a long time.
On the second day after Ding An came to Chu's house, Jiang Juan took Xiaobao and returned to Jiang's house under the escort of Chu Yi, and said to Shen Luzhu before leaving: "Cousin-in-law, you are right, I can't always hide like this, Brother Ding is a good person, or the benefactor of our family, if I do this, it will make people feel cold, I will find a chance to talk to Brother Ding when I go back."
Shen Luzhu felt that it was better to take his time in this matter, and there was no need to directly cross from one extreme to the other: "Don't worry, cousin, don't force yourself to do anything that will make you feel uncomfortable because of guilt."
Jiang Juan put down the hand holding Xiaobao and stepped forward to hug Shen Luzhu: "Thank you, cousin-in-law!"
Shen Luzhu hugged Jiang Juan back tightly, which was comfort and encouragement!
Since the last time the little couple went to Uncle Chu's shop, there has been an inexplicable harmony and pleasure in the Chu family's new house in recent days, and the Wang family seems to be enjoying the pleasure of revenge.
Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu thought that this was the second grandson, and finally realized their mistakes, and wanted to use this birthday to repair the relationship with themselves.
Uncle Chu thought that Grandpa Chu's birthday was set up for the banquet, and his family could receive a wave of gifts, so he was in a good mood, even the Li family was infected by this atmosphere, and his heart said that as long as the Wang family didn't poke out any more baskets, he would lose the face of the Chu family and make Chu Ren unhappy.
Everyone has their own thoughts, and the days are surprisingly harmonious, but it has become the most harmonious period of time for Uncle Chu's family since the division family!
On the third day of the seventh month, Shen Luzhu gave Aunt Han a day off, and this morning after having breakfast at the grandfather's house next door, many people began to come to the courtyard of the Chu family's old mansion one after another, these people were invited by Chu Yi to the town a few days ago.
Not to mention the opera troupe and lion dance team, they also made a special trip to package a complete set of banquet items from the restaurant in the town, from the master chef who cooks, the assistant who changes the knife, the little two who serve the food, and then to all the wine and meat seasonings, and even the dishes, chopsticks and plates, tables, chairs, benches, kitchen knives, pots and stoves are all self-brought, and the whole process is one-stop service, as long as you are willing to pay money, you will have everything.
In the middle of the morning, Uncle Chu's family rushed to the old mansion, and even Chu Ren was specially called back from the town by the Wang family, and after a while, more and more people gathered in and out of the Chu family's old house, and they were all notified to come to celebrate Grandpa Chu's birthday and dinner.
It seems that it really intends to seek peace, whether it is to entertain relatives and friends who come to celebrate the birthday, or the foreman of the backyard to do the banquet has any problems, all the power is handed over to the Wang family, and the little couple and Uncle Chu only stay aside the whole time, just like relatives who come to celebrate the birthday.
Not to mention Grandpa Chu, the protagonist of today's birthday banquet, even the Wang family, who is in charge, has not been so valued and scenery for a long time, and they are even more smiling, I can't wait for time to stop on this day.
Chu Ren rushed back early this morning, this time he came back a lot earlier than he planned, he originally planned to wait until the Midyear Festival and then return home, stay at home for a few days, and then set off directly to Fucheng to participate in this year's imperial examination, last year's Kaienke, he did not play well, this year he wanted to go to Fucheng earlier, stay a few more days, and then review a few days there.
Who would have thought that his mother-in-law Wang suddenly sent a message saying that Grandpa was going to celebrate his birthday on the third day of the new year, and asked him to go home to celebrate his birthday, Chu Ren received the news when it was already the afternoon of the second day of the seventh month, and he had no choice but to hurriedly ask for leave with the gentleman in the private school, packed up his things indiscriminately, and rushed back to the mountain village with the earliest ox cart today.
When he learned that he was going to the old mansion and Chu Yi and his wife would hold a birthday for his grandfather, Chu Ren muttered in his heart, but he had already asked
After Li and Wang, they didn't get any useful information, and both of them insisted that it was Shen who fell in love with Wang's way, but it was this that made Chu Ren even more worried, and he always felt that this matter was a little strange.
But the Wang family has almost notified everyone he knows to come to participate, not to mention, Grandpa Chu has also sat on the main seat in the courtyard, happily accepting everyone's blessings, even if he really finds that there are any traps waiting in front of him, he doesn't have the guts, everyone calls off Grandpa Chu's birthday, all he can do now is to keep an eye on the couple, and pray that he is too worried!
When it was close to noon, the people who came to celebrate the birthday finally came to the whole house, and all of them sat on the seats filled outside the courtyard of the old mansion of the Chu family.
"Grandpa, we and the third uncle have prepared a big gift for you today."
Chu Yi slapped his palms twice after speaking, and then ran out of nowhere two men holding long poles, two strings of long firecrackers were hung on the poles, and as the two ran to the open space in front of the old mansion of the monks, the sound of firecrackers "crackled", and everyone was busy covering their ears while stretching their necks to look over there to see the excitement.
After the firecrackers were fired, a man wearing a red performance costume and holding a hydrangea in his hand ran out of the yard of the grandfather's house next door, followed by two awakening lions, one yellow and one white, shaking his head and running out, competing for the hydrangea in the man's hand.
Grandpa Chu didn't expect that Chu Yixiao and Uncle Chu actually specially invited the lion dance team, staring at the lion dance performance in the distance, listening to everyone's flattery, the smile on the corner of his mouth became bigger and bigger. After the lion dance performance ended, in the cheers of everyone, the little couple walked to the middle of the courtyard again.
Shen Luzhu saluted Grandpa Chu with Chu Yi's support, and then straightened up and said, "Grandpa, we also went to the town to invite the troupe to come over, and we will sing two good performances for you in this open space later, how happy and happy you are today!"
"Good, good!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be even more surprised, this Chu family is really filial, it is not enough to set off firecrackers and invite the lion dance team, but even invited the troupe to come over, what a big deal!
Then Shen Luzhu turned around and said to everyone present: "Fellow villagers, please invite this lion dance team and troupe not only to congratulate Grandpa on his birthday, but also to thank the villagers, thank you for your support to our paper money shop, if it weren't for your aunts, uncles and uncles, the shop at home would not have been open for such a long time!"
Shen Luzhu said and pointed to the paper money shop on the side: "Don't look at it, it's the Midyear Festival, in order to accumulate blessings for Grandpa, and also to thank everyone, everyone who comes to congratulate Grandpa on his birthday today, come to the house to buy paper money on the Midyear Festival, we will give benefits, if it is full of 50 Wen, it will be reduced by 5 Wen, and if it is full of 100 Wen, it will be reduced by 20 Wen!"
