Song Huaishu took Lu Xingyi out of the room, moved a stool and put it aside for her to lie on the stool and play. He went to the hall to get a snack and let Mrs. Ji eat it.

When Lu Xingyi saw the dim sum, his anxious saliva came out, and he held on to the small stool and kept screaming.

Because Lu Xingyi has gained a lot of weight recently, the little man's double chin has grown. Song Huaishu was afraid that she would grow into a big fat person in the future, so she would no longer let her eat more dim sum.

Lu Xingyi stood next to the stool and screamed for a long time, and when she saw that her father ignored her at all, she suddenly became a little anxious. Looking at the snack box in his hand, he slowly let go of the hand holding the stool, held his two little arms, and walked towards Song Huaishu tremblingly.

Mrs. Ji was about to tease Lu Xingyi with a snack, but when she turned her head, she saw that the little girl had let go of the stool, for fear that she would fall and get up to help her. But when he thought about it, he thought that Lu Xingyi was learning to walk, so he couldn't bear to worry that he didn't move while sitting on the stool. Just let Mama Zhang go around behind her and protect her, so as not to let Lu Xingyi's center of gravity be unstable and hurt again.

Song Huaishu looked at Mrs. Ji and Yang Shuyi nervously looking behind him, and when he looked back at Lu Xingyi, who was walking towards him with his arms crossed, his heart was suddenly surprised and at the same time, he was full of joy.

"Dada, Cake."

Song Huaishu looked at the trembling Lu Xingyi, and although he was happy in his heart, his face was still calm. Holding the dim sum in his hand, he squatted down and shook it at Lu Xingyi, and said, "You want to eat?" Come over and Daddy will give it to you. ”

As soon as Lu Xingyi heard this, his round eyes suddenly lit up, and he slowly moved to Song Huaishu, and was about to throw himself into his arms, but he didn't think that his center of gravity was unstable and he fell on the buttocks.

Seeing this, several people hurriedly reached out to help, but Lu Xingyi sat on the ground and still didn't forget to eat, looked up at Song Huaishu, and couldn't help muttering: "Cake." ”

Looking at the girl who didn't forget to eat when she fell, Song Huaishu suddenly cried and laughed. He pulled the man up from the ground and said to a few people, "This girl probably has a heart to eat." ”

"It's a blessing to be able to eat, but others can't ask for it." As she spoke, Mrs. Ji reached out and took Lu Xingyi into her arms, carefully wiped her little hands with a handkerchief, and then took a piece of snack and put it in her hand.

Lu Xingyi got the dim sum, and he came to Mrs. Ji to take a sip of incense on her face, and then leaned on her arms, holding the dim sum and began to nibble on it.

Looking at Lu Xingyi's well-behaved appearance, everyone only felt that their hearts were about to be cute, and the old lady was even more reluctant to let go.

At this moment, Lu Zhengan and Lu Changgen walked in with a package.

Seeing Lu Zheng'an coming through the door, Song Huaishu immediately smiled and said, "Zheng'an, Xingyi has learned to walk." ”

When Lu Zhengan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Will you really go? I didn't dare to move my feet yesterday when I leaned on the door, so why did I dare to leave today? ”

"Dim sum is a glutton."

Hearing Yang Shuyi say this, everyone present couldn't help laughing. And Lu Xingyi, who was in Mrs. Ji's arms, seemed embarrassed, and buried her head in her arms.

Lu Zhengan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her expression. Leaned over and picked her up from Old Madam Ji's arms, arching her neck with her chin that was stabbing and pulling, and the itchy Lu Xingyi couldn't help laughing.

Yang Shuyi looked at Lu Changgen who came over, and asked with a smile, "It's all changed?" You can get the big guy's salary in the afternoon, right? ”

"Well, the holiday is coming soon, and Zheng'an also bought a lot of mooncakes, and when the salary is paid in the afternoon, they will be distributed to the big guys, so that they can all have a good holiday."

Chapter 115

As soon as they heard that they were going to be paid, the people in the village consciously gathered at Lu Changgen's house. Looking at the half-sacked copper coins on the table and the two large carts full of mooncakes on the mule cart in the yard, everyone's faces were full of smiles.

This year, the price of dried peaches is expensive, and knowing that every family is having a hard time, Lu Zhengan also raised his salary to everyone. According to the number of days that everyone worked in Lu Changgen's small book, Lu Zhengan counted the copper plates that the other party deserved, and distributed the wages to everyone according to the list.

"Zheng'an, this, why is this still sending so many mooncakes? It seems that this salary is more than last year? ”

Hearing Liu Changshan's remarks, everyone counted the wages they had received, and after discovering that they had indeed received nearly 20 yuan more than last year, they couldn't help but wonder if Lu Zhengan had miscalculated their wages.

The audience suspected that he had miscalculated his salary, and Lu Zhengan couldn't help but laugh. "This year's orchard has such a good harvest, and the big guys have helped me a lot, and the big guys deserve it. As for the two catties of moon cakes, this is not a holiday, the big guy has helped me so much this year, and I have nothing to give, two catties of moon cakes per family is my heart. ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan's words, everyone had mixed feelings for a while.

Although Lu Zhengan kept saying that everyone helped him, if Lu Zhengan had not advocated digging wells to fight drought, the life of everyone in Lujia Village would have been much more difficult. In particular, he himself was able to pay them so much extra wages even more when he was in debt to foreign countries, and everyone was even more grateful.

Seeing the crowd disperse, Lu Zhengan put on the mule cart and began to walk home. When I walked to the foot of the mountain, I saw the two elders of the Song family driving the car leisurely towards this side. After seeing Lu Zhengan, Song Xiren hurriedly raised the whip in his hand.

"Father, Mother, how did you have time?"

Now that the holiday is approaching, it is a busy time in the shop, and Lu Zhengan wanted to pay everyone's wages, so he will come over to see it in the next two days. Unexpectedly, the two elders actually came first.

"This year, everyone is short of money, and everyone can save money during the holidays, and they are not as busy as before. Is this old lady still in your family, she is also our elder, so naturally she wants to come over and take a look. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan nodded. Looking at the things in the car that were nearly half a car, I couldn't help but say: "Father, mother is really polite, even if you come to see so many things." ”

"When I find the right one, I buy it, and I look at a lot, but there are actually few things." Song Xiren said with a smile, and when he saw Lu Zhengan driving the mule cart, he knew that he must have paid the people of Lujia Village, and then asked: "Have the wages been paid to the people?" ”

"It's all settled, and if Boss Ma's business is good, the money owed to my father and mother this year will be paid off."

Hearing that Lu Zhengan had been thinking about this stubble, the two elders of the Song family were very pleased. "Ours is not in a hurry, and it is the same when we give it. And haven't you always wanted to buy a shop, so you should focus on business first. ”

"Well, I plan to take Huaishu and Xingyi to Linzhou in two days. Let them go out and relax, just to find out if there is a suitable shop. ”

Hearing that Lu Zhengan had already made a plan, Song Xiren immediately nodded in agreement. "Cheng, Xingyi is so big, you have also been to Jiang'an Town. I took this opportunity to take her out for a walk and see what was going on outside. ”

While the three of them were talking, they came to the door of the Lu family's small courtyard, and when the two elders of the Song family looked at Lu Xingyi, who was trembling and towering in the courtyard, they were surprised: "Xingyi can walk?" A few days ago, she was still holding the stool and refusing to let go, how did she suddenly learn? ”

Hearing his mother-in-law ask Lu Xingyi how he learned to walk, Lu Zhengan replied with a smile: "I'm hungry for dim sum." ”

Lu Zhengan tied the mule to the side of the tree, turned around to help the two elders of the Song family unload the things from the car, and told the two of them how Lu Xingyi learned to walk.

"This greedy little girl." Song Lan couldn't help but laugh and scolded.

Xu was the voice of a few people at the door, and Lu Xingyi walked towards the gate with two small arms. Seeing her father and grandfather outside the door, the little girl suddenly became excited.

However, a few days after learning to walk, the center of gravity under his feet was still unstable, and Lu Xingyi fell to the ground with a stumble, because the speed was too fast, and his entire little foot was cocked.

Seeing Lu Xingyi falling, he made his grandfather feel distressed. He threw the things in his hand to the ground and ran towards Lu Xingyi.

Lu Xingyi's two little hands slapped on the ground, and he was a little numb from the shock, and he couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved when he hadn't seen his grandfather for a few days, and he began to cry with his small mouth.

Seeing this, the two elders of the Song family were even more distressed, and they were very distressed when they held Lu Xingyi in their arms and shouted "heart, liver and flesh".

Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu are not surprised that they are like this to the two elders. With a calm expression, he picked up the things that the two of them had thrown down and sent them to the house.

Hearing that Song Huaishu's parents were coming, Mrs. Ji also walked out of the house on crutches. Looking at Lu Xingyi, who was puffed up, Old Madam Ji smiled and said, "This little girl is really a goblin." ”

"Where, the little lady just fell, don't you complain to the old lady of the in-laws."

When Mrs. Ji heard Mama Zhang say this, she was afraid that Lu Xingyi would fall and hurt herself. However, seeing that the little girl still knew that raising her hand to 'complain' to her grandfather and grandfather had never been a big deal, so she put her mind at ease.

"My in-laws are here, sit in the house."

When Song Lan heard Mrs. Ji's voice, she turned around and saw Mrs. Ji standing under the eaves with a cane, and stepped forward to give her a senior salute. "Old lady."

Mrs. Ji had a very good impression of Song Xiren and his wife, and when she saw Song Lan's etiquette, the smile on her face deepened. "Listen to Huaishu, aren't you still running a shop? The family is so busy, what are you running here, just let people know about something. ”

"There's nothing going on in the shop, I haven't seen Xingyi for a few days, I'm very worried, and it's about to be a holiday, so I happened to come over to say hello to the old lady."

Hearing Song Lan's words, Old Madam Ji smiled and waved her hand. "It's all my own family, how can there be so many false courtesies."

While talking, Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu had already packed up all the things in the car. Seeing that the two elders also brought two knives of pork belly and a few catties of mutton, Lu Zhengan said: "The piece of mutton that my mother bought today is very good, let's eat shabu mutton at noon, and make another braised pork, simmer it for a long time, and Xingyi can eat a little." ”

"Okay, you look at the arrangement for lunch, we don't care what to do, just wait for dinner."

After Mrs. Ji finished speaking, she laughed.

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan also smiled and said, "Okay, then you and your mother will talk first, and Huaishu and I will go to cook." ”

Looking at the back of Lu Zheng'an's departure, Song Lanshi smiled and praised: "Zheng'an, this kid, has a bad temper and temperament. ”

"Huaishu, this kid is not bad, the two children have a deal in one place, and they really can't be matched. And I've lived here for so many days, and I've never seen them red-faced, and I like them when I look at them. Mrs. in-laws, I should really thank you. With Huaishu by Zheng'an's side, I can rest assured that I will close my eyes in the future. ”

Seeing Old Madam Ji say this, Song Lan immediately stood up from the chair. "The old lady is a generation older than me, just call me Menghua." After saying that, the old lady of the Song Lan clan glanced at the expression of the old lady Ji, and persuaded in a low voice, "Menghua dares to persuade the old lady, don't say such a frustrating thing again." Although the two children, Zheng'an and Huaishu, never want to speak, they take you very seriously in their hearts. How uncomfortable it would have been for the two children to hear what you said. You have a long and blessed life, and great blessings are still to come. ”

When Mrs. Ji heard this, she couldn't help but have mixed feelings in her heart. Raising his eyes to look at Song Lanshi who was standing in front of him, he nodded and said, "What Menghua said is that Xingyi is still young, so I have to see her get married." ”

Hearing what Old Madam Ji said, Lan Menghua immediately smiled and nodded: "Old Madam is right to think like this, our husband in the future of Xingyi girl, we still need your old help to palm." ”

……

Seeing that the festival was getting closer and closer, Mrs. Ji watched as the corn in the fields below the mountain had been harvested, and the carriage in which the Ji family came to pick up Mrs. Ji to return home also lined up on Hualong Mountain.

The two brothers of the Ji family looked at their mother, who was in good spirits, and their hanging hearts relaxed.

"The old lady has worked hard for you during the time she has been at your house."

Ji Yunlei looked at Lu Zheng'an, thinking of the little sister who died early, and felt quite bad in his heart. Liu Manzhi on the side saw that her husband's expression was different, so she hurriedly reached out and poked his arm, reminding him not to lose his temper in front of the old lady.

Instead, Ji Yunchong walked up to Lu Zhengan with a smile and wanted to pat Lu Zheng'an on the shoulder, but found that he was still a little taller when he stood in front of Lu Zhengan, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "I see that the old lady's complexion is a little better than before she came, and it seems that she will have to come and stay several times a year in the future."

Hearing that his father actually said this, Ji Yueqiao's heart was full of embarrassment. "We are all at home, how can we let my grandmother stay at my cousin's house all the time?" After that, Ji Yueqiao leaned in front of his father, pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Don't open your mouth, otherwise your grandmother will knock you with a cane again." ”

When Ji Yunchong saw Ji Yueqiao say this, he subconsciously looked up at the old mother sitting on the top seat. Seeing him staring at him with a displeased face, Ji Yunchong couldn't help but make a sudden snort, and immediately closed his mouth when he saw Old Madam Ji sneering twice.

With so many people in the Ji family at once, cooking is also a big problem. Although there are subordinates who can help them, the space in Lu Zheng'an's stove house is limited, and it is really impossible to open it. In addition, Mrs. Ji didn't want Lu Zheng'an and Song Huaishu to be too tired, and thought that she would return to Jiang'an Town in the afternoon, so she instructed Ji Yueqiao to go to the restaurant in the town and book a few private rooms. After everyone gossiped at Lu Zheng'an's house for a while, everyone got into a carriage and went to the town.

When Mrs. Ji's carriage reached the mountain crossing, Mrs. Ge saw Lu Zheng'an, who was sitting on the wheel, hurriedly stretched out her hand and stopped the person.

"Lu boy, your relatives are here? What is this for? ”

When Mrs. Ge had collected peanuts and soybeans before, she had also sent them to Lu Zheng'an's house a few times, and Mrs. Ji was still somewhat familiar with her voice.

Stretching out her hand to lift the curtain, and seeing that it was Mrs. Ge standing outside, Mrs. Ji smiled and said, "I haven't lived here in Zheng'an for a while, and it's time to go home for the holidays soon." Old sister-in-law, is this going up the mountain again? ”

"Are you going back? So, when will you come again? After Mrs. Ge asked, she also felt that her question was really redundant. He laughed for a moment or two, and then as if he remembered something, he hurriedly raised his head and said to Mrs. Ji and Lu Zheng'an: "Don't go yet, I'll go back and get something, you wait for me here." ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Ge ran to the village with a cigarette on her feet.

Everyone in the Ji family looked at Mrs. Ge who looked like crazy, but Lu Zhengan knew what Mrs. Ge was going to do, so he turned his head to look at Mrs. Ji and Mama Zhang in the carriage, and said, "Let's leave her alone, let's go first." ”

"She ......," Mama Zhang looked at the direction of Ge Pozi's departure from the car window, hesitating.

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan explained: "She knew that the old lady was leaving, so she went back to get things to see you off." The old lady used to behave a little unscrupulously, but her heart was not bad. "Thinking of Mrs. Ge's actions in the past few years, I felt a little funny in my heart." Her man and son are gone, and it is not easy to drag her little grandson to live when she is old. ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan say this, Mrs. Ji and Mama Zhang were quite touched in their hearts. Sighing silently, he lowered the curtain and ordered the handlebar to leave.

Because of the bumpy roads, the horse-drawn carriage did not travel fast. As soon as Lu Zhengan turned around, he saw several people from Lujia Village hurrying towards him with baskets.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan could only stop the car with handlebars. "Zheng'an, didn't Mrs. Ge say to let you wait, why did you leave?"

Lu Tiezhu said that, and when he saw Mrs. Ji sitting in the car, he hurriedly smiled at her old man.

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and the old lady is going home, so everyone has gathered some things for the old lady to bring. Although it is not worth much, it can be regarded as some of everyone's thoughts. ”

Lu Zhengan looked down at the chickens, ducks, eggs, peanuts and jujubes that Lu Tiezhu was carrying in his basket, and turned his head to look at Mrs. Ji, only to find that the other party had already come out of the carriage and walked onto the wheel.

Lu Zhengan hurriedly grabbed the old lady's arm and carefully helped the person out of the car.

Mrs. Ji looked at the people from Lujia Village who came one after another, and saw that most of them were familiar faces who had come to Lu Zheng'an's house to help, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Right now, everyone is busy at home, how can you work so hard."

"The old lady is leaving, everyone should come and give it off." Liu Changshan followed breathlessly.

He bowed to the old lady and put the big red he was holding on the wheel.

Seeing everyone like this, Mrs. Ji was moved in her heart. "How can the old body make everyone like this?"
