"Yo, Zheng'an has returned? What do you think? ”

As the patriarch's pillow person, Lu Yang's clan naturally knew what the ancestral hall was opened for today, but he didn't expect that things would end so soon.

"Uncle Nagan has finished talking about things, and there will be nothing to do."

Today's genealogy to Song Huaishu is of great significance to the two of them, Lu Zheng'an thought about it for a while, and said to Lu Yang's family: "I have seen that you and Uncle Changgen have worked hard these days, and yesterday Huaishu and I brought a piece of mutton from my father-in-law's house, let's go to my house today, and I will give you a lamb skewer to eat." ”

As soon as he heard what he was eating, Lu Yingchun's eyes immediately lit up. Just as he was about to say yes loudly, he was held down by Lu Yang's head and refused: "Where are we embarrassed to share the mutton that your father and mother prepared for you?" Your kind-hearted aunt understands in her heart, we won't go, you just eat with Huaishu. ”

Hearing this, Song Huaishu glanced at Lu Yingchun's mouth where the oil bottle was hung up, and smiled softly: "Auntie, don't be polite to us, my father and mother give a lot of mutton, and this thing will not be fresh after a long time." And it's been a long time since we've been together for a long time, so it's good for everyone to sit together and talk. ”

There are a lot of things going on at home these days, and the pressure on Lu Changgen and his wife is indeed not small. And there are some things that Lu Yang also wants to say to Lu Zhengan, so when he heard Song Huaishu's words, he was a little moved.

Just when Lu Yang hesitated, Lu Changgen also walked in from outside with his hands behind his back. When I saw several people standing in the courtyard talking, I couldn't help but wonder: "What are you all doing standing in the courtyard, why don't you come into the house and talk?" ”

Zheng'an and Huai Shuzheng said that they would let us go to his house for dinner, saying that their in-laws had given us a lot of mutton, and Zheng'an wanted to make roast mutton for us to eat. You've been tired a lot these days, so why don't you go and drink some wine with Zheng'an to relax. ”

Lu Changgen didn't care, and when he heard Lu Yang say this, he also nodded in agreement. A few people were about to pack their things and go up the mountain, when they suddenly heard a noise outside.

Lu Zheng'an listened attentively, looked at the crowd and said, "Listening to the movement, it seems to be the fourth uncle's house in the alley next door." ”

Lu Changgen frowned and sighed, he didn't want to worry about his family's affairs anymore, but thinking of his family's lonely Lu An's family, he couldn't bear it and lowered his head and walked out of the door after all.

Seeing this, Lu Yang glanced at Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu, and the three of them also followed Lu Changgen to Lu Ming's house together.

When a few people entered the door, Chen Cuihua was walking out with her baggage, while Lu Zhengping was holding her leg and refusing to let go, while Lu An was sitting on the ground, crying, slapping her thighs and scolding Chen Cuihua in her mouth.

Seeing Lu Changgen and the others entering the door, Chen Cuihua glanced sideways at the others and said sharply: "Village chief, you have come just in time, and I want to reconcile with Lu Zhengping. Can you give me a comment, what is the reason why these two people can't get along and don't allow people to leave? ”

When several people heard Chen Cuihua's words, they couldn't help but be stunned. Before they could react, Lu An, who was originally sitting on the ground and crying, got up from the ground, pointed at Chen Cuihua's nose and scolded: "Chen Cuihua, why are you reconciling with my son?" Is it our family that has wronged you? Or is there something I'm sorry for you? Besides, now that you are pregnant with my family's flesh and blood, you just want to leave, and you have to give birth to the child before you can go. ”

Lu An's voice fell, and Chen Cuihua glanced at Lu Zhengping, who was embarrassed on the side, with a smile. "Hey, that's funny. Why can't I reconcile with Lu Zhengping? Is Lu Zhengping rich and powerful, or is someone good-looking? With him like this, he can't even support himself, so does he still need his wife to support him? The old lady is looking for someone to live, but not for all sentient beings! ”

"No matter what, then I have to give birth to my child before leaving."

Hearing this, Chen Cuihua covered her mouth and laughed. "You say, "The child belongs to your family, it belongs to your family? You mother and son are amazing. ”

Chen Cuihua's words were undoubtedly a thunderclap on the ground, and everyone present did not react for a long time.

Looking at everyone's reactions, Chen Cuihua glanced at everyone and felt speechless, and with a cold snort, she was about to turn around and leave. But Lu Zhengping, who didn't want to be silent all the time, suddenly burst out and rushed towards Chen Cuihua with a roar.

By the time everyone reacted, Lu Zhengping had already pushed Chen Cuihua to the ground, and the whole person beckoned to her waist and abdomen like crazy.

By the time Lu Changgen and Lu Zhengan hurriedly pulled Lu Zhengping away from Chen Cuihua, Chen Cuihua had already suffered a lot of punches and kicks from Lu Zhengping. The whole person curled up on the ground and covered his lower abdomen and wailed, and in an instant, the red blood soaked Chen Cuihua's skirt.

Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but be shocked, and Lu Changgen hurriedly beckoned Lu Yang to invite the barefoot doctor in the village.

Everyone carried Chen Cuihua into the room, and by the time the barefoot doctor arrived, the bedding had already been stained red with blood. The barefoot doctor took Chen Cuihua's pulse, and after staring for a moment, he finally shook his head regretfully.

"The child can't be saved, so I can only stop the bleeding for the time being. If it continues to flow, it will be difficult to save the lives of adults. ”

At this time, Chen Cuihua's face was as white as paper, and when she heard the doctor say this, she grabbed the doctor's sleeve, and her eyes were full of pleading. "Doctor, doctor, save me, save me. I have money, I will give you money, you hurry up and save me. ”

When everyone in the room heard Chen Cuihua's words, they not only sympathized with her, but also felt that she was to blame. However, the doctor is benevolent, and the doctor naturally can't watch Chen Cuihua die of blood loss. In addition to taking out a silver needle to help her apply needles to stop bleeding, he also prescribed medicine to stop bleeding and let her boil it for her to take.

Xu is Chen Cuihua's life should not be extinguished, and after Dr. Li administered the needle, the blood in the lower half of her body began to stop. However, the child in her womb was finally a month old, and the fetus in her womb had already taken shape, so the bleeding had stopped, but a bowl of abortion pills was inevitable.

Lu Zhengan listened for a while, and when he saw Song Huaishu's brows furrowed, he found an excuse to take him out of the room.

Looking at the situation of Lu Zhengping's family, I know that Lu Changgen and Lu Yang's family are afraid that they will still be busy for a while. Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu simply took Lu Yingchun back to their home first.

It was now noon, and the three of them, who had empty stomachs, casually rolled out a bowl of noodles and hastily filled their stomachs before they began to prepare for the kebabs in the evening.

Charcoal kebabs are best, but there aren't many people in small towns who can use charcoal. Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu ate mutton skewers only on a temporary basis, and it was too late to go to the town to buy charcoal.

Fortunately, in the past, there was still unburned firewood left in the stove when cooking on the fire, and Lu Zhengan took out the unburned firewood with tongs and put it into a sealed jar.

After lunch, Song Huaishu led Lu Yingchun to brush the pot and wash the dishes, while Lu Zhengan took out the mutton brought back from his parents-in-law's house yesterday and began to cut it into pieces and marinate.

After the three of them finished the things at hand, Lu Zhengan washed the oil stains on his hands, and then took the axe and led Song Huaishu and Lu Yingchun to the bamboo forest next to them.

"Before, we could come over to cut the bamboo after we finished brushing the bowls, but Brother Zheng'an had to wait for him, which was really a waste of time."

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan glanced at Lu Yingchun, who was pouting and complaining, with a smile, "It's not that I underestimate the two of you, just like you and your little Brother Song, how can you pick an axe?" If you give me another accident, will you let me live? ”

Hearing Lu Zheng'an's words, Lu Yingchun was suddenly silent, hanging his head and holding Song Huaishu's sleeve and didn't dare to speak again.

Song Huaishu raised his eyes to look at Lu Zhengan's expression, recalled the last time the two of them bumped their heads when picking persimmons, and subconsciously touched the inconspicuous scar on his forehead, and felt weak in his heart.

"Your Zheng'an brother has a lot of strength, even if the two of us can cut it down, how to drag it back is a problem, and then your Zheng'an brother will inevitably have to make a trip."

Listening to Song Huaishu's excuse for the two of them, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but laugh for a while. Shaking his head helplessly, he led one big and one small up the hill.

Because it is eaten at home, it doesn't matter if the bamboo stick rules are irregular. After the bamboo was cut back, the three of them sat at the gate of the courtyard, one took a knife, and the other polished the burrs on the bamboo sticks, and after a while, a small bundle was cut out.

Seeing that the sky was slowly darkening, Lu Zhengan asked Song Huaishu and Lu Yingchun to boil water and put bamboo skewers in boiling water, and in addition to preparing some potatoes, vegetables, and steamed buns, he went to the bottom of the mountain to invite Lu Changgen and his wife to come up for dinner.

However, as soon as he came to the foot of the mountain, Lu Changgen and Lu Yang walked over together, and Lu Yang still carried a few apples in his hands. Seeing Lu Zhengan coming, Lu Yang hurriedly beckoned to him.

"Why are you still running down the mountain, are you afraid that I won't go with your Uncle Changgen?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan nodded honestly. "I'm a little worried about what is happening today, so I'll come down and take a look."

Hearing Lu Zhengan talk about this, Lu Yang sighed deeply. "Hey, you said that their family really happened one after another, and today they almost killed someone. However, Chen Cuihua is ruthless, Zhengping was so good to her before, but now she will turn her face when she says it. ”

"Neither of them is a good bird, and neither of them should say anything about the other. Luckily he's not my son, otherwise I'd have killed him. ”

When it came to Lu Zhengping, Lu Changgen still gritted his teeth. Seeing this, Lu Zhengan and Lu Yang glanced at each other and did not dare to say anything more about this topic.

When the three of them came to Lu Zheng'an's house, Song Huaishu and Lu Yingchun were washing vegetables, and they were talking and laughing, and they got along very well.

Seeing Lu Zhengan and Lu Changgen and his wife coming back, Song Huaishu hurriedly got up and shook off the water droplets on his hands and asked them to go to the house to rest first.

Lu Yang looked at Lu Yingchun, who was standing beside Song Huaishu with a well-behaved face, and couldn't help but laugh. "You girl, you're about to become your little tail of Brother Huaishu. I used to be noisy at home, but when you get here, you're a lot more obedient. It seems that you still have to run more up the hill. ”

"If it's okay, let Yingchun come to have more fun, I'm okay at home with Zheng'an, it's more lively with one more person."

After that, Song Huaishu hurriedly greeted Lu Zhengan and said, "You lead Uncle Changgen and Aunt into the house to sit down first, and Yingchun and I will get it done quickly." ”

"There are no outsiders, what are you doing so politely. None of us need to be taken care of by you, so I'll be watching from the sidelines. ”

While talking, Lu Zhengan moved two stools out of the house and invited Lu Changgen and his wife to sit down. Lu Zhengan beckoned Lu Yingchun to help him build a simple stove with bricks, and after igniting the charcoal, he put the mutton skewers that Song Huaishu and Lu Yingchun had skewered at home on it and began to roast them.

When the first oven was just baked, Lu Zhengan couldn't grasp the heat, and the four skewers of mutton were grilled black. Looking at Lu Zhengan's embarrassed expression, everyone present couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Changgen has been in the border for several years and is quite experienced in barbecue. Seeing that Lu Zhengan was really not good at it, he rushed people up from the stool and sat down by himself.

"As for you, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this roast lamb tonight. Get up, I'll roast it. ”

Lu Zhengan is really not good at barbecue, and when he heard Lu Changgen say this, he obediently gave up his position.

Seeing Lu Changgen sitting next to the fire, skillfully flipping the mutton skewers, Lu Zhengan raised his eyes to look at Lu Yang, and couldn't help but smile when he saw that her eyes were full of relief.

Lu Zhengan stood aside for a moment, thinking that there was still a jar of good wine left over from the previous drink at home, and took it out of the warehouse and put it on the small table in the courtyard.

"Good wine is indispensable for eating mutton, I just have a jar of burnt knives here, Uncle Changgen come and taste it."

At this moment, Lu Yang had already learned the kung fu on the side. Hearing what Lu Zhengan said, he asked Lu Changgen to get up and give her a try.

Lu Changgen has been physically and mentally exhausted in the past few days, and his wife rarely asks him to drink, but he is not embarrassed, so he got up with a smile and walked over to Lu Zhengan.

With good wine and good meat, Lu Changgen, who had been depressed for a few days, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing him like this, Lu Zhengan didn't say anything, silently filled him with a wine cup, and pushed the grilled mutton skewers and other vegetables in front of Lu Changgen. The uncle and nephew drank one person and poured the other like this, but after a while, Lu Changgen on the opposite side was a little drunk.

Recalling the events of these days, he turned his head to look at Lu Zheng'an and sighed: "If Zhengping's child was as obedient as you, how could his family have fallen to this point." ”

After that, Lu Changgen looked into Lu Zhengan's eyes and continued: "When you passed with the iron bolt that day, did you already realize that the death of your fourth uncle was not so simple? ”

Lu Zhengan didn't want to lie to Lu Changgen, so after hearing him ask like this, he nodded and acquiesced.

"Ever since you proposed that they report to the government on that day, but Zhengping objected, your fourth uncle has always kept this matter in mind. Considering that they really couldn't afford to pay back the 500 taels that Zhengping had been cheated of, they still privately asked me to go and report to the official together. The head catcher of the government is an acquaintance of your fourth uncle, and he is afraid that those people will find out that it will be unfavorable to political peace in the future, so he asked the head catcher to secretly help investigate. I don't know if I don't check, but I really found out the problem when I checked! ”

Speaking of this, Lu Changgen drank all the wine in the wine cup and wiped his mouth fiercely, his eyes full of gloom.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan helped to add another glass of wine, and while pouring it, he said: "Is there something wrong with Lu Zhengping's statement, or is there anything he owes at all?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Changgen turned his head to look at Lu Zhengan, with some surprise in his eyes. "How do you know?"

"I guess." Lu Zhengan hooked the corners of his mouth and continued: "When I came out of his house that day, I felt that something was wrong with this matter, but there was no evidence, and I didn't dare to talk nonsense. ”

Listening to Lu Zhengan's words, Lu Changgen nodded.

"It is true that the debt is owed, but the creditor is not a friend, but a gambling house. His leg was also broken at the gambling house. Masahei knew that if someone didn't go to the gambling house he would, he would definitely chase him to his house, so he hit your head with his intentions. ”

At this point, Lu Zhengan has already understood. Because the Ji family came to confess their relatives, the desperate Lu Zhengping saw the 'road to fortune', and after gambling heavily, he forced Lu Ming to borrow money to help him repay his debts. And Lu Ming is a person who wants to save face, after learning the truth of the matter and his son's purpose, the old man, who has always been proud of his son and has been strong all his life, couldn't stand the blow and looked for a short ......

"Speaking of which, your fourth uncle and fourth mother also have a large part of the responsibility, if it weren't for their unconditional indulgence of Zhengping, why would they be in trouble today." After that, Lu Changgen glanced at Song Huaishu, who was leading Lu Yingchun in from outside, and sighed again.

"Zheng'an, I know that you are a self-determined person, and you are also the most promising one in your life. In the future, we must do a good job, and we must not be contaminated with any evil spirits. Otherwise, don't blame me for teaching you a lesson for the old man. ”

Knowing that what Lu Changgen said was from the bottom of his heart, Lu Zhengan nodded solemnly. "Uncle Changgen, don't worry, I won't be able to do such a thing."

Lu Changgen was depressed in his heart, and almost everyone who was drunk after half a jar of wine was almost unrecognizable.

Lu Yang was worried that he would go back later, and Lu Changgen would not be able to leave, so he asked Lu Zhengan to help send people home.

Lu Yingchun hadn't eaten it yet, and when he heard his mother say that he wanted to go home, he drooped his little head and was a little unhappy. However, the little girl was worried about her father, so she asked Song Huaishu to help wrap some lamb skewers and grilled pork belly, and while eating, she followed a few people home.

……

By the time Lu Zhengan returned from the mountain, Song Huaishu had already cleaned up the yard. Seeing Lu Zhengan coming back, Song Huaishu hurriedly washed his hands and brought out the barbecue and steamed buns he had specially set aside from the pot.

"I just saw that you were only talking to Uncle Changgen, and you didn't eat much. I've left some for you, so you can eat it while it's hot. ”

Lu Zhengan took the plate and reminded Song Huaishu to be careful, and then dragged him back to the hall together.

"Have you eaten enough? If you like to eat, next time we will grill it in the yard. ”

Hearing this, Song Huaishu remembered a few skewers of mutton skewers baked by Lu Zheng'an, and couldn't help laughing: "Forget it, next time I want to eat, I'll ask Uncle Changgen and Aunt Changgen to come over to help, I can't trust your craftsmanship." ”

Under the light, Lu Zhengan looked at Song Huaishu wrinkling his nose with a look of disgust Thinking that the two had not been intimate for many days, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. However, thinking that there was still a long night, Lu Zhengan also endured it.

Chewing the mutton in his mouth, Lu Zhengan looked at Song Huaishu across the table with a smile and said, "But after playing with Yingchun Hu for an afternoon, you are so bold that even I dare to make it up." ”

Song Huaishu replied with red earlobes, wide-eyed and pretending to be calm: "Isn't what I said wrong?" ”

Lu Zhengan didn't want to have anything to do with him on this issue, so after eating the bun in his hand, he patted the dregs on his hand and got up and walked out.

Song Huaishu watched Lu Zhengan go out without saying a word, and he thought that his words had made people angry. I wanted to chase him out and say a soft word, but I was afraid that I was thinking too much.

Just when Song Huaishu was hesitating, he heard a sudden knock at the gate.

Hearing this, Song Huaishu was a little flustered, and hurriedly got up and walked to the courtyard to check the situation.

Just as he stepped out of the door of the hall, Lu Zhengan returned from the gate of the courtyard. When I saw Song Huaishu standing at the door of the hall, I felt a little strange for a while.
