"Alright, alright, let's two old fellows clean up for another two years, and while the sun is still there, you can go back quickly." Otherwise, it's cold on the mountain, and it's not good to freeze Niuniu. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zheng'an responded, leaned over and hugged Song Huaishu and Lu Xingyi's father and daughter into the carriage together, then took the whip in Song Xiren's hand and said to the two elders of the Song family: "Let's go back first, and I'll send the car back tomorrow." ”

"Go back, you don't have to rush to deliver the car, and there is no place to use the car in a hurry right now, so it doesn't hurt to leave it at your house."

As the carriage in front of him started, Lu Zheng'an waved his hand with the two elders standing at the door, and then led the mule cart and followed the carriage to his home.

Lu Changgen and Lu Yangshi knew that Song Huaishu and Lu Xingyi knew that they would come back from the full moon today, and they were waiting at the foot of the mountain early in the afternoon. Seeing a carriage coming, Lu Yang stretched out his head to look, and when he saw Lu Zheng'an, who was following the carriage and leading the mule cart, he immediately took a few steps forward.

"Well, you should be back."

Hearing Lu Yang's voice, Song Huaishu poked his head out of it holding Lu Xingyi, and after seeing that the person standing was indeed her, he hurriedly ordered the handlebar to put down the footstool and let Lu Yang get into the car.

"Why is my aunt waiting here? What about spring? I haven't seen her in days. ”

Lu Yang looked at Lu Xingyi, who was sleeping in Song Huaishu's arms, and reached out to his hand to let Song Huaishu rest, and when he heard him ask, he replied softly: "That girl in the spring is going to live at her grandmother's house, and I will send her for a few days, and I will pick her up when the festival comes." ”

Saying that, Lu Yang sorted out Lu Xingyi's bag, looked at her white and tender little face, and couldn't help but praise: "I haven't seen you in the past few days, and I feel that Niuniu has changed." The little face is white, just like tender tofu. ”

"Auntie, don't boast, but when I heard you talk about tender tofu, I really crave your stewed fish head tofu soup. We happened to bring back a fish, so you and Uncle Nagane will eat it at my house tonight. Anyway, it's just the two of you when we go back, and we can have more fun eating together. ”

Hearing that Song Huaishu wanted to drink fish head tofu soup, where would Lu Yang refuse. Thinking that there was no tofu at home, he hurriedly lifted the curtain and shouted to Lu Changgen.

"Dad, you go back to the village and go to Da Liu's house to buy two catties of tofu and send them over, and let's partner at Zheng'an's house tonight."

Song Huaishu hadn't returned home for six days, looked at the spotless courtyard, turned his head and thanked Lu Yang, who was holding Lu Xingyi.

"In the past few days, Zheng'an and I have not been at home, so my aunt and Uncle Changgen have bothered."

At this time, Lu Xingyi had already woken up, and Lu Yang, who was looking down to tease her, looked up at him and said, "What's the matter, we're okay at home, so let's just come over every day to see what we can worry about." Alright, you and Zheng'an hurry up and pack up your things into the house, and I'll play with my eldest granddaughter for a while. With that, he hugged Lu Xingyi and walked to the moon flowers by the courtyard wall.

Seeing this, Song Huaishu smiled and didn't say anything more, and carried Lu Xingyi's clothes on the mule cart into the back room.

After Song Huaishu was sorted out, Lu Zhengan was leading the dairy sheep bought by Song Xiren into the circle. Seeing Song Huaishu coming out of the house, he hurriedly said, "Aunt Fang Cai asked Uncle Changgen to go down the mountain to buy tofu, what are we going to eat tonight?" ”

"Eat the fish, the fish is not tolerant, and the fish is too big. It just so happened that Uncle Changgen and Aunt Changgen were also there, so they just stewed and eaten. ”

Knowing that Song Huaishu likes to eat fish, hearing him say this, Lu Zheng'an responded, and after tying up the goat, he patted the dust on his body and went to the basin rack to wash his hands. Let Song Huaishu and Lu Yang take care of their daughter, after Lu Zhengan found the fish and cleaned it, he went to the backyard to pull a few shallots, and chatted with the two while waiting for Lu Changgen to buy tofu.

When the topic was talked about this year's autumn vegetables, Lu Zhengan thought of spinach and coriander, which had a low germination rate, and hurriedly asked Lu Yang: "By the way, auntie, can you have spinach and coriander seeds at home?" I want to plant a ridge this year, stir-fry, cold salad, and shabu-shabu in winter. ”

"Yes, yes, but is it too late to plant spinach and coriander at this time? I don't think it's good. ”

Lu Zhengan squatted on the ground to peel off the shallots, and when he heard Lu Yang's words, he immediately said: "It's okay, after sprinkling the seeds, use the corn stalks to put them on the ridges, which can keep the temperature a little bit." These two dishes are hot and cold-tolerant, so there is no big problem. ”

Since Lu Zhengan is willing to plant and has vegetables at home, Lu Yang naturally will not object. "Cheng, then I'll bring you the vegetable seeds tomorrow. By the way, didn't you dry beans and eggplants much this year? Last year, you had a good meal at home, and this year I will get some more, and I will bring them to you tomorrow. ”

"No need aunt, Zheng'an has dried a basket of water, and pickled three jars of cucumbers, and is saying if I want to send some to you."

When Lu Xingyi heard Song Huaishu's voice, he thought he was teasing her, and replied with a small mouth, which made several people laugh.

Lu Zhengan looked at his daughter's cute appearance, stepped forward and arched her little hand with his chin, which made Lu Xingyi grin.

……

In the middle of the day, Lu Zhengan served the stewed fish soup in a casserole to the hall house, and then mixed a radish with half a sauced duck that he had brought back from Linzhou as a snack.



During this time, both at home and in the village were calm and quiet, Lu Changgen felt very comfortable, and after sitting at the table with Lu Zhengan, he couldn't help but drink two glasses.

However, Lu Yang was worried that the wine would smoke Lu Xingyi, and when he was almost finished, he took Lu Xingyi and sat aside.

Lu Zhengan was also tired of running for a while, and he couldn't help but take two sips when he smelled the wine. Looking at Lu Changgen, who was already graying under the lamp, he couldn't help but persuade: "Uncle Changgen, it stands to reason that I shouldn't have told you this all the time, but the job of the village chief is really troublesome and laborious, otherwise you should simply stop doing it." ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan's words, Lu Changgen sighed, "I've thought about this too, but if I don't do it, it's not interesting to have nothing to do at home." You say I'm not too old to grind my teeth with them in the village every day? ”

As he spoke, Lu Changgen put a piece of radish in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then remembered to ask Lu Zheng'an about his trip to Linzhou.

"How are you going to Linzhou this time? Can someone want dried peaches? If not, don't worry, let's think of another way. ”

"To tell Uncle Changgen, I carried a basket of dried peaches to Linzhou, and I sold short on the street for two hours before I ran out." Lu Zhengan looked at Lu Changgen in disbelief and couldn't help laughing.

"I don't dare to lie to you about this kind of thing, I advise you to resign from the village chief, just to ask you if you want to go out for a run."

Lu Changgen didn't hear what Lu Zheng'an's words meant for a while, but Lu Yang, who was on the sidelines, understood it.

Seeing that his man was still at a loss, he hugged Lu Xingyi and couldn't help but interject on the side: "Zheng'an means to let you do business with him, and ask if you are willing." ”

Lu Changgen, who reacted, glanced at his mother-in-law, and then turned his head to look at Lu Zhengan. Twisting his eyebrows, he was a little moved, and he was a little hesitant. "It's naturally okay to run a business with you, but I haven't done this before, so don't pull your back."

Hearing Lu Changgen say this, Lu Zhengan said with a smile: "I haven't done it before, and I'll understand it if I run a few more times." ”

Lu Changgen saw that Lu Zhengan did not dislike that he was a white-necked child, so he also relieved himself. Remembering that there are many young and clever offspring in the village, he couldn't help but ask: "There are many young people in our village who can speak and are diligent in their hands and feet. ”

Lu Zhengan took a sip of wine, and when he heard Lu Changgen's words, he put down his glass.

"Your second elder has poured out his heart and lungs for me and Huaishu, so I don't want to hide it from your second elder. The people in our village, I can't believe it. It's not that they're bad, it's that I don't know much about them. It's better to ask you to go out of the mountain old, and it's really good for us to be together. ”

After that, Lu Zhengan saw that the wine in Lu Changgen's cup was gone, so he picked up the wine jar and poured him another glass. "I said that you should think about it first, and I didn't ask you to agree immediately."

Hearing this, Lu Changgen nodded and responded, "That's okay, I'll think about it when I go back." With that, he turned his head to look at the dark sky at the door, and got up from his stool.

"It's not too early, the child and his mother help Zheng'an clean up, and we should go home."

Lu Yang looked at Lu Xingyi, who was already sleepy and dozing off in Song Huaishu's arms, and was a little anxious, but the two of them never finished speaking, and she didn't want to intervene and disturb. Hearing Lu Changgen say this, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Lu Zhengan clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

It was still more than a quarter of an hour to walk from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and now that it was dark again, Lu Zhengan hurriedly reached out and stopped Lu Yang, grabbed her shoulders and pushed her two steps towards the door.

"It's getting dark, and I won't stop you if you two elders want to leave, so don't stretch out your hand for these few dishes and chopsticks."

Lu Yang was a little embarrassed by Lu Zhengan's actions, pulled his hand away from his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's go." As he spoke, he greeted Lu Changgen, said hello to Song Huaishu and walked out.

Seeing that Lu Zhengan was holding Lu Xingyi and wanted to send them out, Lu Yang hurriedly stopped: "It's dark this night, don't take Xiao Niuniu out." We're not outsiders, don't send them around. ”

Then he pulled Lu Changgen's sleeve and pulled him out of the door.

Lu Zhengan also felt sorry for Song Huaishu and his daughter, so he asked the two of them to stay in the house, and after he sent Lu Yang and Lu Changgen to the gate, he turned around and went home, and by the way, the gate was also locked.

After being held and coaxed by Song Huaishu for a while, Lu Xingyi was already asleep. Lu Zhengan asked Song Huaishu to go back to the house and put the child down, while he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and cleaned them in the stove room, and by the way, he also boiled half a pot of hot water for Song Huaishu to wash.

After Song Huaishu packed up and changed into clean underwear, Lu Zhengan bent down and brought the basin outside the house.

Song Huaishu looked at Lu Zheng'an's busy figure for their father and daughter, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart, looking at Lu Zheng'an's cheeks that had lost a lot of weight, and his heart was extremely distressed.

"Originally, we said that you could have a good rest at home when we walked the full moon, but I didn't expect you to run to Linzhou, and now you are even more tired."

Lu Zhengan saw Song Huaishu sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing only a moon-white undershirt on his body, worried that he would catch a cold, so he stepped forward and stuffed the person into the quilt. Reached through his collar and touched his back, and saw that the tentacles were warm, and then he was relieved.

"It's a car back and forth, and I'm tired of something. It's just that I miss you and my daughter a little bit when I'm out of the house, and I can't rest assured. ”

"I have my father and mother at home to take care of, what do you have to worry about." After Song Huaishu finished speaking, he felt that Lu Zhengan's thug was constantly swimming behind his back, and he was busy blushing and pulling his hand out of his clothes.

Raising his eyes to look at Lu Zhengan's somewhat dissatisfied eyes, Song Huaishu hurriedly looked away and asked Lu Zhengan: "Do you really plan to pull Uncle Changgen to sell dried peaches together?" ”

"Well, although Uncle Nagane is not young, after all, he has been on the battlefield, and he is still a little different from ordinary people. Moreover, these people in the village can do some garden work, and I really can't believe it when they run out with me. ”

As he spoke, Lu Zhengan stood up and took off his coat in front of the bed, stretched out his head and blew out the candle dancing next to him. Immediately, he tore off Song Huaishu's quilt and hugged the person into his arms before he could react.

"I won't talk about the other people in the village, just a few of the people who often deal with us, how many are appropriate? Brother Tie Niu is reckless and has a hot temperament. Although Brother Tiezhu is a person who knows what to expect, he is a little slippery. Brother Tie Bolt is okay, but he has too many eyes, and taking him out is a risky thing. ”

Listening to Lu Zhengan's analysis, Song Huaishu carefully recalled the temperament of these people, and it was indeed as Lu Zhengan said. In this way, there is indeed no more suitable person for Lu Changgen.

"If Uncle Changgen agrees, we can't let him work for nothing, right? How much are you going to pay him? ”

Lu Zhengan hugged Song Huaishu's shoulder, and his right hand caressed his neck socket for a while. "Based on Uncle Changgen's temperament, it is estimated that he will not be asked for the start of work. I thought I'd just give him a bonus. What do you think of giving him 20% of the profits? ”

When he heard that Lu Zhengan only gave Lu Changgen 20% of the profits, he couldn't help frowning. "Won't two percent be too little?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but smile, "Twenty percent is too little?" Do you know that we still have more than 2,000 catties of dried peaches at home, and each catty of dried peaches can be sold for 90 yuan, or 180 taels of silver? One hundred and eighty taels of silver are drawn out and twenty percent, how much money do you have yourself? If nothing else, this money is definitely more profitable than Uncle Changgen and Aunt Changgen's farming. ”

When Song Huaishu heard Lu Zhengan say this, he silently calculated the account in his heart, and after estimating the specific amount of money, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"At first glance, it doesn't sound like much, but I didn't expect to be able to get a lot of it." Speaking of this, Song Huaishu smiled a little strangely. His right hand unconsciously poked Lu Zhengan's arm, estimating his family's income for a year, and couldn't help but sigh.

"In the future, if the market of dried peaches can continue to be so good, it is estimated that in two or three years we will be able to repay the money we owe to our father."

"It should be about the same, and when the fruit of the other three mountains comes, it is estimated that the income will be more, and we will be able to save more dowry for our daughter."

When Song Huaishu heard Lu Zhengan's words, he couldn't help laughing. "This girl is only a few months old, and it will take more than ten years for her to get married, so you are starting to save a dowry for him now?"

Lu Zhengan took Song Huaishu, who had stood up, into his arms, and after stretching out his hand to wrap the quilt around him, he replied: "What's all the fuss about this? Our family may not be able to compare with those people, but in order for our daughter to be able to harden her waist in her in-law's house in the future, we naturally have to give her a lot of preparations. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Zheng'an thought that the pearl he and Song Huaishu held in the palm of his hand would be taken away by other wild boars more than ten years later, and his heart immediately began to feel uncomfortable.

"Hey, in fact, more than ten years have passed very quickly, think about our daughter, she will have to marry in the future, teach her husband and children, and serve her in-laws. If you're lucky enough to run into someone who knows how to be cold and hot, that's fine. In case I meet someone who is unreasonable and tries to rub our daughter, I don't feel good in my heart. ”

Song Huaishu heard that Lu Zhengan was imagining what would happen more than ten years later, and he didn't want to answer his words. However, when his thoughts involuntarily followed Lu Zhengan's words, he only felt that his heart was pinched together.

Knowing that he could not listen to Lu Zheng'an's empty words anymore, Song Huaishu silently turned over and turned to his daughter who raised his hand to surrender to Duke Zhou, intending to close his eyes.

However, as soon as he closed his eyes, Lu Zhengan immediately turned over and took him into his arms, straightened up his upper body to his ear, and proposed: "Huaishu, do you think we can recruit our daughters in the future?" In this way, under our noses, even if the future son-in-law has 800 guts, he will not dare to treat our daughter-in-law badly. ”

Song Huaishu couldn't bear Lu Zheng'an anymore, raised his hand to cover Lu Zheng'an's mouth tightly, and for the first time in his life, he would lose his temper with Lu Zhengan.

"Do you sleep? If you don't sleep, don't bother me and the girl. ”

Seeing that Song Huaishu lost his temper with himself for the first time, he lay on Song Huaishu and didn't react for a while. When Song Huaishu reached out to push him, Lu Zhengan reacted.

Reached out and grabbed Song Huaishu's wrist, lowered his head and pecked him on the door. "Good fellows! You're actually murdering me?! ”

After Song Huaishu finished speaking, he also regretted that his tone was too heavy, and when he heard Lu Zhengan say this, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked, and was about to open his mouth to explain two sentences, when Lu Zhengan's kiss fell on his forehead.

didn't wait for Song Huaishu to react, and then Lu Zhengan turned him over to himself.

"You dare to murder me now......"

When Song Huaishu saw Lu Zheng'an acting like this, he immediately exclaimed in fright. At the same time, he was worried about waking up Lu Xingyi, who was sleeping on the side, and hurriedly turned his head to look into the bed. Seeing that Lu Xingyi was still sleeping soundly with his little fist raised, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he lowered his head and said to Lu Zhengan: "What are you doing?!" Hurry up and let me go. ”

Song Huaishu's voice fell, only to hear Lu Zhengan in the dark smile, and let go of his hands like this.

Song Huaishu, who was caught off guard, fell on Lu Zhengan's chest, and before he could speak, he only heard Lu Zhengan say innocently above his head: "If you want me to continue to hold you, just say it, you see that as soon as I let go, you will throw yourself into your arms again." ”

Song Huaishu lay on Lu Zheng'an's chest and couldn't help grinding his teeth. Just as he was about to turn over, he saw Lu Zhengan's big hands covering his back again. "Well, since you have thrown yourself into your arms, if I refuse, it will hurt your heart. Then I reluctantly accepted it. ”

After that, Lu Zhengan held Song Huaishu's head and kissed it straight......

Chapter Ninety-Three

Lu Zhengan was worried about Song Huaishu not long after he gave birth, and he hugged him for a while and then let go.
