However, this time, Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu did not have to kneel and kowtow, and they could be regarded as representatives by bowing three times directly under the greeting of Lu Tieshuo.

After all the processes were completed, the four of them stopped when they reached the entrance of the village.

"I've worked hard for you in the past few days, I'll make a few small dishes in the evening, and let's have a drink with a few brothers."

Hearing Lu Zhengan say this, Lu Tiezhu hurriedly waved his hand and refused. "Forget it, it's all my own family, how can I be so polite. It's been a mess these days, so let's clean up your home first. ”

After that, Lu Tiezhu remembered that winter wheat would be sown in a few days, and he hurriedly spoke again: "It will be time to plough the ground in a few days, let's plant together this year." When you have time, prepare the wheat seeds and manure first, and when the day comes, I will let the iron oxen

Go over and call you. ”

"Okay, then I'll be cheeky and hitchhike."

Ploughing and raking are not a job that one person can do, and even more so when the ground is turned over and the ground has to be pulled and planted, this person is even more unable to do it. Song Huaishu didn't know anything about this, and Lu Zheng'an was able to work with the Lu brothers, which really saved a lot of money.

When Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu returned home with the rest of the offerings, the time was approaching.

Fang was in too much of a hurry, and the two of them hadn't had time to eat breakfast yet. After running such a long circle now, the two of them were tired and hungry for a while.

Lu Zheng'an looked at Song Huaishu's face was a little bad, and hurriedly sent him into the house to rest. I went to the stove house to steam a bowl of egg custard for Song Huaishu, and saw that there were still a lot of meat slices left. Then he cut the carrots and green peppers, fried them together, and sent them to Song Huaishu.

Song Huaishu was tossed by Lu Zhengan for a long time last night, and he went down the mountain to run around, so he couldn't support it. When I was lying in bed and feeling a little drowsy, I vaguely smelled the aroma of food and opened my eyes. Immediately, Lu Zhengan walked in with a tray.

Seeing this, Song Huaishu hurriedly sat up. "You just shouted at me, why did you bring it in?"

"I see that your face is not very good, you can rest and rest after eating."

Lu Zhengan placed the dishes on the tray on the table one by one, and when Song Huaishu sat down, he folded and went to the kitchen to get two steamed buns and leftover food from yesterday.

Song Huaishu wanted to stir up some custard in front of him, but before he could make a move, he heard Lu Zhengan say: "Last night, well, hard work, this custard is so restrained, you eat more." ”

As soon as these words came out, Song Huaishu's fair face suddenly turned red. Pinching the spoon in his hand, he whispered for a long time: "Don't say this again, hurry up and eat." ”

Knowing that Song Huaishu was shy, Lu Zhengan touched the bridge of his upturned nose and stopped talking, bowed his head and ate the rice in his bowl.

……

After Lu Zhengan waited for Song Huaishu to fall asleep, he withdrew from the room with dishes and chopsticks.

As soon as he cleaned up the stove house, there was a burst of laughter outside the door, and then Lu Yingchun and Li Erwang ran in.

Lu Zhengan was afraid that the two would wake up Song Huaishu, so he hurriedly made a silent gesture at the two. Immediately, he grabbed two handfuls of vegetable balls from the basin of the vegetable cabinet and served them in a bowl, and handed them to Lu Yingchun and Li Erwang.

"Why are you two here?"

"What about Brother Song? Why don't you see others? Lu Yingchun bit the vegetable balls, tilted his head and looked at Lu Zhengan asked suspiciously.

"Your little brother Song didn't sleep well yesterday when he was homesick, so I asked him to go to bed and lie down for a while. You may have just fallen asleep at this time, so you should keep your voice soft, so as not to disturb him. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yingchun and Li Erwang nodded obediently.

"Did you come here and tell your parents? Remember to tell them wherever you go in the future, so that they don't worry. ”

Lu Yingchun, who was eating vegetable balls, nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and said with an impatient expression: "Oh, I know, I know, you are almost catching up with my mother's verbosity now." ”

Hearing Lu Yingchun's words, Lu Zhengan immediately glared at the little girl and slapped her, so frightened that her neck shrank and immediately begged for mercy.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. I'm honest now, where dare I not listen to my mother. This time my mother took the initiative to let us come to play, I don't believe you asked Erwang. ”

Li Erwang, who was on the side, immediately nodded in agreement, but his eyes were evasive, as if he had something to hide.

Lu Zhengan knew Li Erwang the best, and when he saw his expression, he immediately put down the cloth towel in his hand and asked, "What's wrong?" But what's going on in the village? ”

Li Erwang secretly looked at Lu Yingchun, and when he saw that the girl was eating vegetable balls and didn't speak, he lowered his head and said, "Well, it's the sister-in-law of the fourth uncle's family who has just entered the door and is breaking up." Uncle Changgen and Aunt Changgen went to persuade us to fight, but they were afraid that we would make trouble nearby, so they drove us over. ”

Hearing Li Erwang's words, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly said in his heart: This Chen Cuihua is really not a weak chicken, and she is about to split up as soon as she enters the door. is so strong, even Wang Xiumei is unattainable.

"Brother Zheng'an, you don't know, Brother Zhengping's new sister-in-law is very fierce. Seeing that the four uncles refused to divide the family, they all smashed the pot. Siniang was almost fainted, and I called my father and mother again when I had no choice. ”

Lu Zhengan sat opposite the two of them and listened to them tell them everything that had happened to Lu Zhengping's family in the past few days. After listening to what the two of them had finished speaking, the expression on Lu Zhengan's face could be described as extremely wonderful.

He originally thought that it would take a while for the excitement of Lu Ming's house to start, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Thinking that because of Song Huaishu, Lu Ming spoke ill of him, and Lu Zhengan wanted to see what kind of expression he would have at this time.

But no matter what, Lu Ming does not distinguish between right and wrong, and connives, and connives, his son abandons his wife and daughter, so he should bear the consequences of today's evil. Mo said that now that he was kicked out of the house by Chen Cuihua, he will sleep on the streets in the future, and Lu Zhengan will not have the slightest compassion for him.

As for people like Lu Zhengping and Chen Cuihua, who have no mediators and are vicious and selfish, I am afraid that there will be no good end in the future.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhengan put the vegetable balls on the plate together, and said to the two people in front of him without raising his head: "That Chen Cuihua is not a good bird, you will stay away from their house in the future." ”

Chapter 52

No matter how much trouble was going down the mountain, Lu Zhengan packed up a large bag of things early the next morning and returned home with Song Huaishu.

When the two of them came to the door of the alley, they saw Song Xiren standing outside the door with his hands behind his back and looking at the door.

When he saw the two of them coming with something, he hurriedly turned around and shouted into the courtyard, and immediately hurried to meet the two of them.

When he walked up to him and looked at the expression on Song Huaishu's face, Song Xiren hung his heart for two days, and then he let go.

"It's so sunny outside, why isn't my father waiting at home?" Song Huaishu looked at the beads of sweat faintly visible on his father's forehead, frowning and feeling a little distressed.

Seeing this, Song Xiren patted his hand with a smile and explained: "I ate a little too much in the morning, so I walked around the door to eliminate my food. ”

Lu Zhengan looked at the expressions of the two, and walked towards the small courtyard with Song Huaishu holding Song Xiren's arm. When the three of them just walked to the door, Song Lan also greeted them.

Lu Zhengan called out to his mother with Song Huaishu, and after seeing the joy on Song Lan's face, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"You guys come back when you come back, why do you still take so many things? How heavy it is to walk all the way up the mountain. ”

Lu Zhengan put the package he was carrying on the table, opened the package and took out the contents the same.

"We didn't bring anything, these were unused slices of meat, meatballs and so on. There was so much left in the house that Huaishu and I couldn't finish eating, so we divided it among the neighbors around us, and also saved some for you and my father. ”

When the Song family's family sent off their relatives back, some neighbors had already told Song Lan about the richness of the Lu family's banquet, and they also praised and praised Lu Zheng'an, the son-in-law.

Although I don't have much understanding of Song Huaishu finding a man to form a contract, the other party can attach so much importance to Song Huaishu, and it is obvious that this man is not wrong.

Moreover, even the brother of her family, who had always been not optimistic about Lu Zhengan, had changed his attitude since the Lu family returned, which shows that Lu Zhengan was attentive to welcoming her children into the door. In this way, Song Lan's family was more at ease with Lu Zhengan.

"Oh, how many things can you get this kid? If you can't eat it all, won't it be a complete waste? ”

Hearing this, Song Xiren hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled her sleeve, and said, "Don't nag the child, you go to the kitchen first to bring the sorbet I bought, and let them rest quickly." ”

When Lu Zhengan heard the word 'sorbet', his heart suddenly stirred. I thought that there was already an ice cream here, and I couldn't help but wonder if someone had crossed over like him.

However, when Song Lan's two bowls of ice powder with dried fruits were served, Lu Zhengan was still a little disappointed in his heart.

"This Goldman Sachs restaurant only sells thirty copies a day, and I know that when you come back today, your father will go and wait before dawn. I've been pulling it out of the well water, and it should still be cold, so you can taste it. ”

Song Huaishu looked at the ice powder that was placed in front of him by his mother, and felt that it was not a good taste. I lowered my head and stirred the spoon a few times, but I didn't eat a bite.

Knowing that Song Huaishu was uncomfortable, Lu Zhengan quietly touched his waist, suggesting that he didn't want to make the two old men uncomfortable.

Song Huaishu knew it in his heart, so after being silent for a moment, he lowered his head and drank.

Lu Zheng'an was relieved when he saw Song Huaishu like this, but before he could come back to his senses, he heard Song Lan's greeting: "Why doesn't Zheng'an eat?" It's hot, and when it's hot, it won't taste good. ”

The loving eyes of the two old men made Lu Zheng's heart warm for a while, and he smiled and nodded, picked up the bowl and took a sip.

The smooth and cool taste of ice powder makes Lu Zhengan's body completely heated, and the sweet and sour jam and the brown sugar water that warms the stomach are poured on, and the taste is sweet and smooth, which is very appetizing.

Song Lanshi and Song Xiren looked at Song Huaishu and Lu Zheng'an, they were very pleased, and looked at the two of them carefully, as if they couldn't get enough of it.

It was only after Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu had finished eating the ice powder that the four of them talked about what had happened in the past two days. When he knew that the contract was concluded, many people in the village came to help, and it was clear that this was Lu Zheng'an's favor, and he was even more satisfied with him.

"The last time you came, you said that the red braised mutton at Goldman Sachs Restaurant was delicious, and when I bought sorbet today, I also bought some of them by the way. When you're gone in the afternoon, you two will take it back and eat it slowly. ”

"We have everything at home, and you don't need to prepare it for us. If we want to eat it, we can just buy it, and we are not far from the town anyway. ”

"Isn't it convenient for us, why should you be tossing around? And it's better to eat more mutton at this time. ”

Lu Zhengan understood the mood of the two old men very well, and obediently agreed to every word the two said.

Because it was Song Huaishu Guining, even if there were only four of them, the old couple still prepared a lot of good dishes. When the four of them finished eating, Song Huaishu got up as usual and was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but was stopped by his mother's outstretched hand.

I heard the old man smile and say, "The new guest comes to the door, how can I let you help clean up the housework." Sit down and rest, let's talk together. ”

Song Lan's words made Song Huaishu feel extremely uncomfortable. After following Song Lan to the kitchen, he sat on a small bench in front of the stove and lowered his head and pretended to pick his fingers to hide his already red eyes.

After all, Song Huaishu is the meat that fell from Song Lan's body, what kind of temperament he is, how can Song Lan's family not know. It's just that now that Song Huaishu has made a contract with Lu Zheng'an, his mind can't be all on their old couple, and he has to plan for their small family.

"Lu Zheng'an, how are you treated?"

Listening to his mother's questioning, Song Huaishu nodded, swallowed hard, and tried to make his voice steady.

"Mother knows about him, and after we got married, she didn't let me into the kitchen except for eating, let alone other work."

When it comes to Lu Zheng'an, although Song Huaishu is ashamed, he still tells the truth to his mother.

Song Lanshi was still worried that Song Huaishu would not be able to adapt to the Lu family, but now looking at the expression on his face, he really let go of his hanging heart.

"As long as he treats you well, you have to be sensible. Whether it is between brothers, friends and neighbors, there can be a long time to have contacts. ”

"Mother, don't worry, I know all of this."

As the two were talking, they felt that the light in the room suddenly dimmed, and the mother and son turned their heads to look at the door, and saw Song Xiren walking over with Lu Zhengan.

"Today, the goods are in the shop, and Xiao Chen can't be busy alone, so Zheng'an and I will go to help. Do you want to go to Huaishu? ”

Hearing his father's words, Song Huaishu got up from the small stool, looked back at his mother, and said, "No, I'll wait for you at home." ”

Hearing this, Song Xiren responded, "That's okay, then you two will rest at home for a while, and we'll come back later." ”

Regarding Song Xiren's pull to Lu Zheng'an to work, Song Lan's felt particularly speechless. In any case, Lu Zheng'an was the first time that his new son-in-law had come to the door, and it was really disrespectful to pull others to work in such an unceremonious manner.

Song Huaishu saw the disapproval in his mother's eyes, and after Song Xiren walked out of the door with Lu Zheng'an, he stretched out his hand and pulled her sleeve and persuaded: "Zheng'an's temper Mother also knows, and she will never care about this." ”

Hearing Song Huaishu's consolation, Song Lanshi couldn't help but sigh, reached out and patted the back of his hand, and said, "Your father is really good when he is good, but sometimes he is extremely brainless. If our neighbors see this, won't they poke us in the back and say that we don't take political security as our own? ”

"Mother thinks too much, and it is precisely because she treats Zheng'an as her own that she has a job at home that allows him to stretch out her hand, so you don't have to think too much about it." As he spoke, Song Huaishu held Song Lan's arm and wanted to take her outside the house.

However, when he bowed his head sideways, Song Lanshi clearly saw a red mark on Song Huaishu's neck.

As a person who came over, Song Lanshi naturally knew what it represented, and reached out to help Song Huaishu cover his collar, and sighed: "My Huaishu has really grown up this time......

……

A few days after Song Huaishu returned to Ningning, he began to plough the land to prepare for planting winter wheat.

Because he was working with others, he had a lot of work in the fields, and Lu Zhengan got up early every day as soon as it was dark. Na Cheng thought, before he could get dressed, Song Huaishu also got up together.
