Lu Zheng'an, who had just returned from changing copper plates in the town, saw Song Huaishu standing in the courtyard as soon as he entered the door.

Seeing the appearance of everyone pointing at Song Huaishu, Lu Zhengan immediately handed the bag full of copper coins in his hand to the Lu Tieniu brothers behind him, and then strode to Song Huaishu.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Lu Zhengan stretched out his hand to hold Song Huaishu's arm, frowned and said, "Didn't you say that you should wait for me at home?" It's a bumpy downhill, how did you come here alone? ”

Seeing Lu Zhengan's worried expression, Song Huaishu reached out and patted his arm, and said, "You are not here, and I am bored at home alone." Yesterday, I heard Uncle Changgen say that this girl is back, so I came to see her. ”

Lu Zhengan saw that he was indeed nothing unusual, so he relieved himself. Ignoring the strange eyes of others, he held Song Huaishu's arm and helped him to the side of the stool and sat down.

At this time, Lu Yingchun had already come to his senses, and after watching Song Huaishu sit down on the stool, he immediately followed, tilted his little head and looked at Song Huaishu's bulging belly with curiosity, and asked puzzledly: "Little Brother Song, isn't it only a woman who can get pregnant and give birth?" How can you have children if you are a man? ”

Lu Yingchun's words made Song Huaishu couldn't help but blush, and when he was about to open his mouth to answer, he saw Lu Yingchun slipped aside by Lu Zheng'an, and replied: "Your little brother Song is only loved, not only is he a prosperous husband, but he can also give birth to children." If it weren't for the blessing of your little Brother Song, how could I take over the work of planting trees in the mountains for everyone to do. ”

Although Lu Zhengan's words were said to Lu Yingchun, his eyes were on the people in the courtyard who were pointing at Song Huaishu.

Lu Changgen on the side had already reacted at this time, and when he heard Lu Zhengan say this, he also nodded in agreement. "Yes, your little Brother Song is the lucky star of our village."

However, when Lu Changgen's voice fell, someone shouted in the middle of the crowd: "Big guys here, who has heard or seen a man give birth?" Don't be a demon, right? ”

Lu Zhengan followed the voice and saw that it was Li Ergou from the village who was shouting with his waist crossed in the crowd.

Looking at the disdain on Li Ergou's face, although Lu Zhengan had no expression on his face, he was already angry in his heart.

"The world is so big that just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You've never seen gold or silver ingots in your life, so if you haven't seen this thing, you can say that it's fake? ”

Li Ergou was famous for his fear of working in Lujia Village, and when Lu Zhengan recruited people to clear the mountain, he wanted to sneak in, but he didn't think that the three leaders were unwilling to accept him.

So, I also hated Lu Zhengan and the Lu family.

Knowing that today was the day of wages, Li Ergou also mixed in to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, he encountered such a rare thing.

However, as soon as he spoke, he was blocked by Lu Zhengan. I was about to say anything more, but I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head.

Li Ergou subconsciously covered his head and turned around, only to see Lu Yang's black face and a shoe beckoning to him.

While Lu Yang was beating, he also scolded: "Li Ergou, you bastard who eats and waits for death, you have picked on the head of our Lu family. You don't inquire about my family, but it's easy to bully? ”

"What's wrong with a man's pregnancy? We can give birth to Huaishu, that is because we have the ability! You want to give birth, and no one will plant it for you! You don't pee on yourself, just pouting your ass and sticking it upside down, and people have to look at you. Get out, get out, don't stand in my yard, dirty my yard. ”

Li Ergou was so anxious that he was beaten by Lu Yang's family, and he raised his hand and wanted to fight back. However, before he could make a move, Lu Zheng'an, who was originally standing beside Song Huaishu, walked over quickly and kicked him on the waist.

Li Ergou, who was caught off guard, was kicked by Lu Zhengan, and when he stabilized his body and was about to fight back, Lu Tieniu and others on the side immediately held his shoulder and sneered.

"What's the matter, two dogs, why do you want to try it with a few brothers? On our Lu family's territory, do you still want to do it? It's the other way around! ”

The brothers of the Lu family were tall, and six or seven cousins who were on the same level as Lu Zheng'an stood up from the crowd, making Li Ergou, who was originally indignant, suddenly dare not act rashly.

patted the placket of the dirty clothes that were kicked by Lu Zhengan with his hand, gritted his teeth and said cruelly to everyone: "Okay, there are many of you, I can't beat you." But we can't just leave it at that. ”

After that, Li Er left Lu Changgen's house without looking back.

Seeing Li Ergou leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Yang pulled his shoes to his feet, came to Song Huaishu, and said to everyone with a proud face: "The reason why Huaishu can be pregnant is because he has been assigned by the Bodhisattva, and he is a person with great blessings. ”

In everyone's impression, Lu Yang is a kind person and rarely blushes with others. Chasing Li Ergou and scolding him today, and talking to everyone like this, it was really surprising to everyone.

Without waiting for everyone to react, Lu Yang helped Song Huaishu and let him enter the house to sit. Seeing this, Lu Zhengan also hurriedly followed.

After entering the house, Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu couldn't help but laugh when they looked at Lu Yang, who was breathing a sigh of relief. Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Lu Yang also laughed after giving them a blank look.

"My aunt can really say that she has moved the Bodhisattva out."

Hearing Song Huaishu's ridicule, Lu Yang patted his chest and said, "I was asking for vegetable seeds at your old Liu's mother's house, and Mrs. Ge ran to Lao Liu's house and said that you came with a big belly, can I be afraid?" When I didn't know what to say, Mrs. Ge scolded me for having elm head, and worshiped the Bodhisattva for so many years. I didn't rush it, and I came out. ”

In the face of Lu Yang's maintenance of Song Huaishu, both of them were extremely moved. Listening to the commotion outside, it seemed that they were already starting to pay their salaries, and Lu Yang sat down opposite the two.

"It's busy outside, so let's go and see it first."

Lu Zheng'an was still holding Song Huaishu's hand, and when he heard Lu Yang's words, he immediately looked up at Lu Yang.

After seeing that the other party looked like himself, Lu Zhengan frowned slightly, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, only to hear Song Huaishu on his side shake his hand and shake his head slightly.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan hesitated for a moment, then shook Song Huaishu's hand, and walked out of the door in response.

Lu Yang watched Lu Zhengan's back disappear at the door, got up and poured a glass of water for Song Huaishu and put it in his hand. "Beware of scalding."

Song Huaishu thanked Lu Yang, took a sip of the water glass, and raised his eyes to look at Lu Yang on the other side.

"Huaishu, it's really risky for you to do this today. I know you're doing this for the sake of political security, but now that you're in good shape, we must put safety first. If you have any business, you can discuss it with Zheng'an. If you really can't do it, it's okay to tell me and your Uncle Changgen. You said that if you have a case, how do you say that political security can be rectified?! ”

Song Huaishu also felt that it was a bit reckless to do this thing today, and when he heard Lu Yang's words, he nodded obediently. "Auntie, I see."

Seeing Song Huaishu like this, Lu Yang couldn't help but smile when he looked at him.

"I really admire your parents for raising such a good child as you. Zheng'an can form a contract with you, which is really his blessing. ”

Song Huaishu had never been praised like this, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He raised his hand and took another sip of the teacup, and hurriedly turned the topic to Lu Yingchun, who had just returned from his grandmother's house.

Although Lu Zhengan was worried about Song Huaishu in the house, he also knew in his heart that with Lu Yang's character, he would definitely not say anything that would displease Song Huaishu.

At this time, Lu Changgen and Lu Tieniu had already set up the table, and the cloth bag containing copper coins and the list of people participating in the work were also placed on the table.

Lu Changgen called people to him according to the names on the list, and sent the wages to everyone one by one. After the copper coins in the cloth bag were distributed, Lu Changgen looked at the black heads in the courtyard, and was about to let everyone disperse, but Lu Zhengan on the side suddenly walked out.

"Guys, please stay, I have a few words to tell you."

Seeing Lu Zhengan walking out, there was a buzzing sound in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Lu Changgen coughed dryly, and the discussion slowly became quieter.

Lu Zhengan's gaze slowly swept over the faces of the people in the courtyard, seeing the different expressions on their faces, and then he spoke: "I know that everyone present is a little curious about my Huaishu, but what I want to say is that Huaishu is no different from ordinary people. It is God's reward to be able to give me a child. He could have avoided standing in front of everyone and letting everyone point fingers at him like that. But for the sake of me, Lu Zhengan, he has the courage to come today. ”

Thinking of Song Huaishu, who had just tried to pretend to be calm, Lu Zheng'an couldn't help but feel a little hot in his eyes. Swallowing his saliva to suppress the heat in his eyes, Lu Zhengan continued: "I think everyone should know what he is coming for, just to prevent some people from splashing dirty water on me!" I know that this incident in our family is a bit rare, but I hope that the old and young masters will look at this matter rationally and not let those gutter rats who are jealous of your money be led astray! ”

"In addition, I have a message for you. After the mountain is cleared, I will find someone to plant fruit trees on the mountain. If you want to, come and do it with me. If you don't want to do it, I don't force it. But I just hope that everyone can do a little, don't pick up the rice bowl to eat, put down the rice bowl and scold the mother! ”

Chapter Seventy-Seven

After coming out of Lu Changgen's house, Song Huaishu looked at Lu Zheng'an, who was speechless, and was extremely uneasy. I want to explain something, but I don't know what to say. just lowered his head and followed Lu Zheng'an silently, until he was about to walk to the small courtyard of the Lu family, Song Huaishu pulled Lu Zheng'an's sleeve and stopped.

Lu Zhengan noticed Song Huaishu's small movement, and stopped and looked back at him. Seeing that Song Huaishu was like a child who made a mistake, Lu Zheng'an, who was still a little angry, suddenly softened his heart.

Sighing silently in his heart, Lu Zhengan stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Lu Zhengan's shoulders and brought the person to himself.

"Do you know why I'm unhappy?"

Hearing Lu Zheng'an's question, Song Huaishu looked up at him and nodded. "You know, I shouldn't make a claim without consulting you and worry about you."

Seeing that Song Huaishu clicked to the center with a word, Lu Zhengan lost his temper. "Do you do it even if you know it?"

"I don't want them to slander you like that. And I'm doing it not only for you, but for our future business, and for our children. ”

Song Huaishu's words made Lu Zhengan not know how to blame Song Huaishu, sighed and took his shoulders and walked home step by step.

Seeing that Lu Zhengan was silent and did not speak, Song Huaishu continued to say to him in a soft voice: "I know that you are thinking about me, but this time is different from the past, and we also have to make calculations for our children. ”

As he spoke, Song Huaishu stopped and looked up at Lu Zheng'an's eyes, smiled and stretched out his hand to help him smooth the wrinkles between his eyebrows, and continued: "You said that after the child was born, ask him how he came to be, and ask why everyone else has mothers, and he only has two fathers, how should you explain to him?" Do you want to lie to him that he picked it up, or raised it? ”

Song Huaishu caressed his bulging belly, thinking of the child who had the blood of him and Lu Zheng'an, and his heart was so soft that water could drip out.

"I never understood the phrase "Mother Zegang" before, but now that I am really pregnant with my own child, I gradually understand the meaning of this sentence. No matter what, I want my children to stand in front of others. Regardless of whether my father, who gave birth to him, will make him feel embarrassed or even ashamed in the future. But now, I just want to hold up the sky for him, pave the road smoothly, and watch him be born peacefully and grow up healthy. ”

Listening to Song Huaishu's words, Lu Zhengan only felt a sore feeling in his heart. Stopped, stretched out his hand and hugged the person into his arms, rubbed his back, choked and said in Song Huaishu's ear: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will never let your father and son suffer a trace of grievance!" ”

Lu Zhengan's assurance made Song Huaishu feel more at ease, raised his hand to hug his waist, leaned on Lu Zhengan's arms and nodded gently. "Well, I believe you, and you never break your word about what you say to me."

……

The rumors about Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu disappeared without a trace after Song Huaishu appeared and said something to Lu Zhengan.

As long as the weather is good, Song Huaishu will go out for a walk with Lu Zhengan, and he will be very happy with a smile every day.

Xu let go of the worries in his heart, Song Huaishu was in a better state than before, and even his appetite was a little bigger. Seeing him like this, Lu Zhengan was also relieved.

After the completion of Qingshan, Lu Zheng'an prepared a generous gift and invited the two elders of the Song family to go to Song Huaishu's maternal grandfather's family, the Lan family.

When Lu Zheng'an came to the Lan family with the two elders of the Song family, Lan Mengcheng had not yet returned home from teaching in a private school, and only the old man Lan was tending to his new pot of orchids in the courtyard.

After seeing Song Lan and Song Xiren, the smile on Old Man Lan's face immediately fell. After seeing Lu Zheng'an, who was more than half a head taller than the two, Old Man Lan didn't say anything, and turned sideways to let the three of them in.

Regarding the fact that Song Huaishu found a man to form a contract, Lan Mengcheng did not hide it. However, after knowing that the other party was the only grandson of Old Man Lu Chuanlu, Old Man Lan didn't say anything.

Now, when he saw the tall and sturdy young man following his daughter and son-in-law, he knew in his heart that the other party should be his grandson's brother-in-law.

Lu Zhengan knew that the old man of the Lan family was notoriously stubborn, but whatever he believed in, even eight cows couldn't pull it back.

Because Song Lan and Song Xiren had a private agreement for life in the early years, Mr. Lan has never given the two of them a good face since his daughter got married.

At this time, looking at the little old man of the Lan family, who had always had a black face, Lu Zheng'an couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart. I'm afraid that I won't be able to say a word well, and this old man will be thrown out of the door.

Fortunately, before they could say a few words, Lan Mengcheng came back from the private school with his books in his hands, and was surprised and delighted to see the few people sitting in the room.

"I think you're going to come to the door in a few days." Although Lan Mengcheng didn't look down on Song Xiren before, since Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu signed a contract, Lan Mengcheng's attitude towards Song Xiren has become much warmer. Otherwise, Song Xiren would not have pulled down his face and Tolan Mengcheng came to help find the sapling.

"The hills under the Zheng'an contract have been cleared, and the saplings can be planted just after they pass. No, we'll bring Zheng'an with us when we're free today. ”

Song Xiren's voice fell, and the old man Lan who was sitting down put down the teacup in his hand, squinted his eyes and asked, "What about Huaishu?" Why didn't you see him come with you? Don't you want to see me, an old man? ”

Old Man Lan's attitude was still cold, and the words he said were extremely ugly. However, Lu Zhengan seemed to be a little nervous when he saw that he was holding the arm of the chair tightly when he said this.

And although his eyes did not stay on Lu Zhengan, his eyes glanced at Lu Zhengan from time to time. Obviously, he didn't mean what he said, and he should still be quite concerned about Song Huaishu in his heart.

After Lu Zhengan heard the old man's question, he was just about to get up from the stool when Song Lanshi pressed him back: "Huaishu was unwell, so he didn't let him follow." ”

Hearing that Song Huaishu was unwell, the old man couldn't help frowning. "It's still the sick and crooked way I was when I was a child, and I don't know how you brought this child. Since you have something, let me tell you about it, and I'll go and see my flowers. ”

With that, Old Man Lan got up from his chair and walked out of the living room.

As soon as Old Man Lan walked away with his hands behind his back, the atmosphere in the room immediately relaxed a lot. Lu Zhengan looked at Song Xiren, who was obviously relieved, and even straightened his waist, couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.

How many years has he been married to his mother-in-law, and he has to be careful when he arrives at his father-in-law's house.

"I've already paid the money, you clear the mountain, just go and pull it at any time. I've taken you to see the garden, so you should remember the way, right? ”

"Remember, you're bothered about the two children." Song Xiren said with a smile.

"Well, that's a polite thing to say, I'm just asking in passing, what's the bother? Baoshan's work is the same as learning, it is a hard job. Since you are determined to do it, you should do it well, and don't waste your money and effort, and in the end you will have to work hard in vain. ”

Hearing Lan Mengcheng's teachings, Lu Zhengan got up from his stool and bowed down in response. Seeing Lu Zheng'an look like this, Lan Mengcheng nodded with satisfaction. Immediately, he and Song Xiren had a gossip without a match.

However, when a few people came, only Song Huaishu was left alone in the Song family, and Lu Zheng'an was not very relieved. Now that the matter has been negotiated, Lu Zhengan is worried about Song Huaishu at home, and he can't sit still.

Seeing that the time is about to reach mid-hour, if you don't say goodbye, you have to keep your meal. So, Lu Zhengan stood up.
