However, since Lu Yang tried his best to hide it, there is a high probability that it still has something to do with him. So, Lu Zhengan followed her words and asked, "Does Uncle Changgen's injury matter?" I'll go and persuade him later. After all, when I signed a contract with Huaishu, I still had to rely on him to manage the boss, and if he dropped the chain, I would really be numb. ”

"Hey, I can't control this person, you can persuade him later. This is not too young, but I still want to play one at a time, and I don't listen to any persuasion. ”

Hearing this, Song Xiren on the other side helped to defend himself: "Brother Changgen is also afraid that you will work too hard alone, after all, the work in the field is not easy, how can you do it alone?" He also feels sorry for you. ”

"Hey, Brother Song doesn't know, when my parents were on the battlefield, there was something wrong with their bodies, and now they are doing this again, and if they don't take care of it well, if they get older, won't they suffer from the old nose?"

Lu Yang's words made Song Xiren not know how to answer, nodded and stopped making a sound.

Seeing this, Song Lanshi on the other side looked at Lu Zhengan and said, "Zheng'an, we are all here now, you go down the mountain with your aunt to see the situation." I would like to persuade you Uncle Changgen, don't take your body seriously. ”

Lu Zheng'an was speculating in his heart about what had happened to Lu Yang's visit. Hearing what Song Lan said, he immediately responded.

"That's okay, I'll let Zheng'an come over first to help persuade him, and I'll bother the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Song family to work for a while."

After Lu Yang and Lu Zhengan got up and walked down the mountain for a while, the two looked back and saw that no one was following them, Lu Zhengan hurriedly stopped and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”

When Lu Yang heard Lu Zhengan's question, his brows furrowed and he sighed heavily.

"It's not your Uncle Changgen's good fourth brother! If you want to marry the widow into the door, you have to make a special arrangement according to the first marriage. But we won't say anything about these things if people want to. The key is that Zhengping and his family have to set the date on the sixth day of the ninth month, the same day as you and Huaishu, and they have to let your uncle Changgen be in charge. Aren't you saying that's sincere?! ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"It seems that Brother Zhengping has to fight against me, but let him go, we don't need to compare with him. Uncle Changgen told him not to feel pressure, but if he couldn't do it, let him go over there, and it didn't matter to me. ”

Chapter 49

Since the beginning of September, people in the village have begun to come over to give Lu Zhengan a deed ceremony.

Because they are all from the countryside, their families are not rich. Each person will be given a different thing, whether it is a few eggs, or half a basket of greens, or two chairs......

Among them, several families with close relations also added money, but due to limited conditions, they did not add much.

However, the matter of signing a contract and giving gifts is based on a heart, and these people are very happy to be able to come to Lu Zheng's heart. As for what to send and how much, Lu Zhengan didn't care.

Still, by the time we approached the sixth day of the new year, the house was full of all sorts of things, a basket of eggs, and all kinds of vegetables.

Lu Zhengan put these things in the warehouse and looked at the almost full warehouse. Lu Zhengan took a deep breath and only felt that there were so many things that he might not be able to use them up even after two days of banquets......

Because the wedding date of Lu Zhengping and Chen Cuihua was also set for the sixth day of September, and Lu Ming gave up his old face to Yang Chang, the root canal boss. Lu Zhengan knew that Lu Changgen was inclined to come here to help in his heart, and Lu Changgen's temper could not erase his face and refused.

In this way, Lu Zhengan did not want to embarrass him. After thinking about it, he simply invited Mrs. Jiang and several official media in the town to come over and help the town.

Mrs. Jiang didn't expect that Lu Zheng'an would let herself come over when she signed the contract, but since people gave such a big face, Mrs. Jiang naturally wouldn't refuse to accept it.

When she came to Lu's house to discuss the day's affairs, she overheard someone in the village gossiping about the fact that the old village chief's family in the village was also holding a happy event on the same day, and that she had deliberately pulled away the people who wanted to help Lu Zhengan.

However, Mrs. Jiang has always been a person who does not admit defeat, and she herself likes Lu Zheng'an. When the audience said this, they immediately aroused their desire to win. Originally, she wanted to go up the mountain alone, but she immediately turned around and went down the mountain, greeted all the sisters in the town, and went up the mountain again.

Lu Zhengan didn't expect that Mrs. Jiang would bring so many people over, and after seeing that they were all the official media at the Mid-Spring Festival that day, she politely invited everyone into the house.

"But I haven't seen each other for a few months, and the little brother of the Lu family has cleaned up the yard more upright. Look at this house, I'm afraid that even ten miles and eight villages will not be able to find a second one. The little brother of the Song family found you, and he can be regarded as blessed. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but scratch his head and smile. "Ladies and daughters-in-law have praised me, and I am not as good as you say. It's hot, and the mothers-in-law are still sitting in the house to cool off. ”

Before she came, Mrs. Jiang had already told these old sisters about the general situation of the Lu family and the fact that she wanted to 'fight' with the Lu Ming family in the village.

When they heard that the big family of the Lu family was embarrassed to bully a young man who had no father or mother, he naturally helped Lu Zhengan to be indignant. One by one, they are gearing up and preparing to do a great job in an effort to steal the limelight.

Moreover, no one is more experienced than the official media present when it comes to the process of running a happy event and how to make it more lively. patted their chests and assured that Lu Zhengan would not let him fall that day.

Looking at the confident expressions of several official media, Lu Zhengan was still grateful in his heart, even though he was a little abrupt in his heart. He stood up and thanked everyone.

"In this way, it will be bothered by the mother-in-law. After I conclude the contract with Huaishu, I will definitely prepare a heavy gift to thank all my mothers-in-law. ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan's words, everyone waved their hands one after another. It was Mrs. Jiang who stepped forward to help Lu Zhengan up. He looked at Lu Zhengan with a relieved expression, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Forget about the heavy gifts, you just need to prepare good wine and good food on the sixth day of the new year." This child of yours is a person who values affection and righteousness, and if you have a contract, you can be considered an adult, and you will have to work hard in the future, and you will not want to discredit your grandfather's reputation. ”

Hearing Mrs. Jiang's instructions, Lu Zhengan fell to the ground. "I will take my mother-in-law's words to heart."

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang nodded with satisfaction. He turned to the old sisters behind him and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, this is the case, and everyone knows it." Now that there are only a few days left before the sixth day of the ninth lunar month, we should divide the work of what we should do, and do not delay the auspicious day of the sixth day of the new lunar month. ”

"Gotcha! We've been working together for so many years, and you still need to arrange this? I guarantee that Brother Lu will be beautifully and lively! You, just wait for the newcomer to enter the door on the sixth day of the new year. ”

With that, everyone got up and left the Lu family's small courtyard.

When the sky was just dawning the next day, Lu Zhengan was startled when he opened the door. Mrs. Zhang, who was directing the two little brothers to tie red silk to the tree at the door, heard the sound of the door opening behind her, hurriedly waved the pu fan in her hand, and walked a few steps to Lu Zheng'an's side with a smile.

"Yo, Brother Lu is up? Look, is it still festive to watch? ”

At this time, several big trees at the entrance of the Lu family's small courtyard had been hung with red silk. The bright red silk reflects the new morning sun and dances along the mountain breeze, like a blazing fire, which makes people feel agitated.

"It's so early in the morning, there is Granny Lao Zhang. This red silk and the little brother who helped......"

"Hey, the red silk was purchased by the government before, and I cheekily borrowed it. It's these two little guys who came to help, you have to give a few more hard-earned money. ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Zhang stretched out her head and stepped forward, covered her mouth with a pu fan, and leaned in front of Lu Zhengan and whispered: "It's already been said, and I'll pay ten cents when it's done." You have a number in your heart, don't give more. ”

After that, Mrs. Zhang patted Lu Zheng'an on the shoulder with a fan, and then twisted her body to continue to act as a supervisor.

Here, Mrs. Zhang was helping to arrange the red silk, and Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. He also swayed up the mountain at the end of the hour. Seeing that the door of Lu's house was red, he completely changed his appearance and nodded with satisfaction.

"Whether it's a marriage or a contract, when picking up a newcomer, pay attention to going out of the east gate and entering the west gate. Although there is only one road in front of your house, you can't lose the rules handed down by the older generation. When we came, we took a rough look and found that there was a path in the forest to the east of your house. Although it is not spacious, it is fortunately quite flat, and it is no problem to walk through a horse or something. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the procession of welcoming relatives passed through the trail to the east, and when they returned, they took the main road. In short, don't turn back. ”

Lu Zheng'an hadn't heard such a statement yet, but since Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. He had arranged it like this, he just nodded and did it.

"Also, on the day of the wedding, the two bamboos should be prepared one day in advance, and colored balls must be hung on the bamboos."

Before Mrs. He finished speaking, she was immediately interrupted by Mrs. Jiang on the side. "Don't tell him this, I'm afraid you won't remember it. When the time comes, let's bother with it, let's help him do it. ”

After saying that, Mrs. Jiang turned her head to look at Lu Zheng'an, and when she saw that he was really at a loss, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. "We can help with these little things, but we still have to find someone from your own family to do things like laying felt."

Although Lu Zhengan didn't care about this, since Mrs. Jiang proposed it, he had to think about it carefully.

"Okay, there is Granny Lao Jiang, and Granny He is bothered. Today, I will pick a good candidate and try not to be in a hurry when it comes to the right day. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang nodded, and carefully explained some details of that day, until it was close to the end of the day, and the two of them left.

On the day of the contract, in addition to the help of the official media such as Mrs. Jiang, in addition, the master chef who made the wedding banquet was Lu Zheng'an, who contacted the master of Qingfeng Building, and the other party was extremely good at hot and cold dishes, and had undertaken many large banquets, so he naturally had rich experience.

At first, the master Fu Ben was unwilling, Lu Zhengan directly increased the price to eight yuan, and promised to rent the tableware from him, so the other party nodded and took over.

Weddings like these usually start the day before. Therefore, at noon on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Zhengan needed to bring all the ingredients and helpers in place.

It's just that the weather is still a little hot, and the chicken, duck, and fish can't be prepared too early. Just in case, Lu Zhengan had already contacted the seller half a month in advance, just waiting for the fifth day of the ninth month to pick up the goods.

Old Man Lu is the only seedling in their house, and he has no other relatives except his brothers and sisters of the same clan.

Lu Zheng'an's grandmother was the only daughter of his family, and when the old lady was not married, the people of the clan wanted to eat her family's family, but the old lady with a tough personality sold her family's land and house directly after her parents died, and never returned to her parents' house.

The original mother herself fled to the Lu family, and she didn't know where her home was, let alone others. Therefore, when he and Song Huaishu signed a contract, the guests on his side would not exceed 10 tables just by entertaining them.

However, because the Song family had not yet determined how many people would come to see off their relatives, Lu Zhengan prepared according to the standard of 15 tables.

On the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, Lu Zhengan, accompanied by Lu Changgen, went to the Song family again to pay a salute, and after confirming that the Song family would have six men and six women coming to see off his relatives on the day of the contract, Lu Zheng'an probably had a score in his heart. After coming out of Song's house, he went directly to Zhang's butcher, directly ordered half a pig, and made an appointment with him on a date to take the meat.

It was rare for Zhang to meet such a generous customer, so he slaughtered the pigs early, and at the same time thoughtfully helped Lu Zhengan unload the pork into pieces and split the bones. When Lu Zhengan came to pay the balance, Butcher Zhang smiled and helped pack the pork and deliver it to the car.

In addition, Zhang Butcher also gave Lu Zheng'an an an additional pair of pig offal and four pig trotters.

"Boss, you've given a lot more, haven't you?" Lu Zhengan looked at the pig's trotters and internal organs on the car board and couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Zhang Butcher waved his hand and smiled: "These things are not valuable, little brother can take them back and eat them." If I want to buy meat in the future, I have to ask you to take care of my business. ”

Lu Zhengan didn't say anything when he heard Zhang Butcher say this, and after thanking him, he pushed the car to the vegetable market street. After loading all the chickens, ducks, and fish that the store had helped to slaughter, loading them into the car, and settling all the money, they walked home.

When Lu Zheng'an returned to the foot of Hualong Mountain, Li Erwang was squatting in the shade of a nearby tree and looking in the direction of the town.

From a distance, I saw Lu Zhengan coming back with a cart in tow, and he hurriedly ran over to this side. "Brother Xiaoan, I'll help you." As he spoke, Li Erwang stepped forward and took a hand.

Seeing Li Erwang, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but smile and asked, "The village has already invited a troupe last night, why didn't you go to join in the fun?" ”

Li Erwang turned his head and glanced at Lu Zheng'an as he walked, and then turned his head and replied: "Brother Zhengping has never liked me very much, so I won't go over to join in the fun." I'm here to help Brother Xiao An wash the vegetables, move things or something. ”

The voice fell, and Li Erwang saw that Lu Zhengan did not speak. So, he continued: "Brother Xiaoan, thank you. ”

Hearing Li Erwang's sudden thanks, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but feel a little strange. "What are you thanking me for?"

"Master Cao agreed to accept me as an apprentice two days ago, and when I finish my studies in the future, I can also make money to help my father reduce his burden."

Hearing that Master Cao actually agreed to accept Li Erwang as an apprentice, Lu Zheng'an was still quite surprised. Although Master Cao is such a cold-hearted person, such a big change that happened a few years ago made Lu Zhengan think that he would never get close to others easily, and he didn't expect that Master Cao would suddenly accept Li Erwang!

However, Lu Zhengan felt that the matter of accepting apprentices was a good thing for Master Cao and Li Erwang. Although Li Erwang's family background is not good, he treats people very sincerely. In the future, if he serves Master Cao, I think that Master Cao's future life should be no different.

"Yes, Master Cao's face is cold, but he is very good to people. Since you worship him as a teacher, you must study hard and honor Master Cao. ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan's instructions, Li Erwang nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice. "Mm-hmm, I know little Brother An. Don't worry, I will study hard and will never be lazy. ”

The two of them returned to Hualong Mountain as they spoke, and as soon as they reached the mountainside, they saw Lu Tieniu and Lu Tiezhuan brothers already waiting at the door. Seeing Lu Zhengan and Li Erwang pushing the cart back, they hurriedly stepped forward and extended their hands to help.

Although Lu Zhengan was surprised that the two of them came over suddenly, he was really tired from walking all the way back. Seeing them reach out to help, he simply let go and took a breath.

"Brother Tie Niu, Brother Tie Bolt, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Lu Tieniu smiled heartily. "Look at what you say, my brother's day of great joy, how can we not come and stretch out our hands? Tie Zhu: They will go to the fourth uncle's house to order a meal first, and then bring a few of your sisters-in-law over later to help pick vegetables. ”

Lu Tieniu and Lu Tiezhuan worked together to push the full rack cart to the door, and saw Lu Zhengan standing beside him with a puzzled expression. Lu Tiezhuan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "You don't take care of a few of us as brothers on weekdays, how can we not come at a critical time?" However, it was not easy for the fourth uncle not to go anywhere, so a few of us discussed it, and asked Tiezhu and them to take a few women over to go through the motions, and then come to you later. ”

Hearing Lu Tiezhuo's words, Lu Zheng was relieved and full of emotion. "Thank you, Brother Tiezhuo, but if you all come here, I'm afraid that the fourth uncle will be blamed."

As soon as Lu Zheng'an's words fell, Lu Tieniu on the side said bluntly: "That's not necessarily, although the new daughter-in-law married by that kid Zhengping is said to be a widow, her family is quite rich, and she can't look down on us poor relatives." We're not the kind of people who have to put a hot face on a cold ass, so we don't go forward. But brother you here, we specify to come over to be lively. ”

As soon as he heard Lu Tieniu's words, Lu Zhengan didn't want to say anything more. He smiled and thanked the two brothers of the Lu family, and then followed him to unload the things on the cart into the yard.

……

In the afternoon, the small courtyard of Lu Zheng'an's house gradually began to become lively. Lu Zhengan looked at the people who were talking and laughing, and his heart was extremely moved, and he returned to the house and took out the melon seeds, peanuts, and maltose that had been prepared long ago to distribute to the people who came to help.

Holding a banquet was already a lively event, and when everyone took the candy, they did not forget to congratulate Lu Zhengan.

Lu Zheng'an let go of the circle, and his whole face was almost stiff with laughter. However, when he walked to the corner of Mrs. Ge, who was helping to peel the potatoes, before Lu Zhengan could speak, he saw Mrs. Ge get up from the small stool first.

"The boy of the Lu family, the old woman was not sensible before, you don't want to give me general knowledge."

Hearing that Mrs. Ge took the initiative to apologize, Lu Zheng'an was really surprised. However, since the other party took the initiative to bow his head and apologize, it was not easy for Lu Zhengan to hold on to the past.

"The matter has passed, so Granny Ge will not mention it again. I'm grateful that you're here to help today. ”

As she spoke, Lu Zhengan grabbed a handful of melon seeds and peanuts, as well as a few pieces of maltose and put them in her hand. "Tomorrow is my big day, and Granny Ge is also happy."

Ge Pozi didn't expect that Lu Zheng'an would so easily expose the bastard things he had done before, and she was both moved and ashamed in her heart, and her cloudy eyes were slightly red.

At this moment, Lu Zhengan heard someone shouting at the door that the table and stool were coming, so he nodded with Mrs. Ge and turned around and walked towards the door.
