Chapter 120

At the end of Shen Shi, Song Xiren and Lu Zhengan appeared at Shen Ji Restaurant.

At this time, Ouyang Li had already arrived, looking at the father and son, Ouyang Li hurriedly smiled and got up to greet the two of them.

"When I went to the inn to look for you, I saw that you weren't there, and I thought you were gone, so I asked Xiao Er. Come on, come on, get in a seat, take a seat. ”

Lu Zhengan came to the table with Song Xiren, and after the two elders sat down, he sat down at the lower place.

Looking at Lu Zheng'an, who had a respectful attitude, Ouyang Li nodded with satisfaction. He brushed the goatee on his chin, and said to Song Xiren and Lu Zhengan: "I have thought about it carefully when I go back in the past two days, and instead of selling the shop to someone I don't know, it is better to sell it to you cheaper." The price is according to the nephew's, four hundred and twenty taels is four hundred and twenty taels. However, I have one condition. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zheng'an's expression was solemn, and he leaned over and said to Ouyang Li: "I hope that after the virtuous nephew takes over this shop, he can take good care of it." If you want to change hands later, please write to me and let me know. ”

Seeing that what Ouyang Li said was not a big deal, Lu Zheng'an immediately agreed. "Please rest assured about this."

Hearing Lu Zheng'an say this, Ouyang Li was also relieved, raised his wine glass and touched Song Xiren and Lu Zheng'an, and said, "In this case, I will wait for you in the shop tomorrow." After signing the note, let's go to the yamen to find a house and go through the formalities. After I've finished the contents of the shop in the next few days, you'll be able to redecorate and move in. ”

"Don't be in a hurry for this first, we won't be able to use this shop until tomorrow and summer at the earliest, if my uncle doesn't hurry to move to Beijing, we can use it first, and then write to my uncle when we are ready."

Ouyang Li didn't expect Lu Zheng'an to be like this, and after being stunned for a moment, he nodded. "However, the room rate for the next few months ......"

"Uncle has already sold it to us at a low price, so don't mention the room fee for the next few months, and my uncle can use it with peace of mind."

Since the hatchback has already said that it is good, there is nothing to worry about in the details. As soon as it was dawn the next day, Lu Zhengan got up.

Song Xiren, who was next door, had already woken up and heard movement in Lu Zheng'an's room, so he opened the door and went out.

Seeing that Lu Zhengan had already cleaned up, the father and son went downstairs, found a breakfast stall and had breakfast, and the two walked in the direction of the shop without hurry.

In late autumn, the weather turns cooler and the sky is getting brighter. Although there is still more than a quarter of an hour to go, there are not many pedestrians on the road. Lu Zhengan originally thought that the two of them had arrived early, but he didn't expect that when the two came to the shop, Ouyang Li had already arrived.

At this time, Ouyang Li had already made tea, and when he saw the two of them coming over, he hurriedly poured a cup for each of them. In the interval between the two drinking tea, they took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the inner hall.

"Get up early, let's ghostwrite this note with Brother Song."

Hearing this, Song Xiren subconsciously wanted to refuse. However, when Song Xiren saw the sorrow on Ouyang Li's face, he responded.

Although Song Xiren has not studied for a few years, he has a lady who was born in a scholarly family, and she has grown a lot over the years. Two simple letters of assignment, but they were written in a matter of moments.

Song Xiren picked up the paper from the table and shook it, seeing that the ink on the paper was almost dry, and then handed it over to Ouyang Li on the side.

"Brother Ouyang, do you think it's okay to write like this?" As he spoke, Song Xiren handed the written transfer letter to Ouyang Li.

They are all young people who have been in business for a long time, how to write the transfer letter Ouyang Li was sure that Song Xiren would still be able to. After a cursory glance and seeing that there were no mistakes, he nodded his head, picked up the brush and happily signed his name, and pressed his own handprint.

After Lu Zheng'an waited for Ouyang Li to sign it, he took it with both hands, and when he picked up the brush and was about to sign, he remembered Song Huaishu's father and daughter at home, so he mentioned Song Huaishu's name without thinking about it.

Seeing Lu Zhengan's name, Song Xiren couldn't help but be stunned. "Zheng'an, you, why did you write the name of Huaishu?"

Lu Zhengan put down the brush, looked up at Song Xiren's surprised expression, and couldn't help but smile. "Since I have entered into a contract with Huaishu, then the name of whoever writes this deed is the same." As he spoke, Lu Zheng'an, under the gaze of the two of them, also pressed his handprint on the place where Song Huai's book was titled.

Because Ouyang Li had acquaintances in the yamen, the formalities were completed in less than half an hour. When he walked out of the yamen, Ouyang Li looked at Song Xiren and said with envy: "Brother Song has found a good son-in-law." ”

Hearing this, Song Xiren glanced at Lu Zheng'an, and said with the same smile: "Well, Zheng'an is indeed very good, but Brother Ouyang, your nephew is not bad." ”

Song Xiren said, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then walked back side by side.

However, now that the matter has been completed, there is no need for Lu Zhengan and Song Xiren to stay any longer. The two said goodbye to Ouyang Li, bought some specialties and food on the street, and then rented a carriage and rushed to Hualong Town.

The two had been out together for so many days, and Song Huaishu at home was already in a hurry.

Seeing the two of them return safely, I was relieved. "How? How does the shop look? ”

Lu Zhengan looked at Song Huaishu's eager face and took the deed out of his arms with a smile.

"If my father and I go out on the horse, there is nothing wrong with it. I'll show you. ”

Listening to Lu Zhengan's words, Song Huaishu couldn't help but laugh. After receiving the deed, he read through it at a glance and read through the ten lines, and when he saw his name written in the lower right corner, Song Huaishu was a little incredulous for a while.

"What, how did you write my name?"

"You have the final say, who will write your name if you don't write your name?" After that, Lu Zhengan suddenly smiled slyly and arched his hand at Song Huaishu, "In the future, I will have to ask Boss Song to support me a lot, and my daughter and I will all rely on Boss Song to support us." ”

Song Huaishu, who was full of emotion in his heart, couldn't help but laugh when he heard Lu Zhengan's words. "It's up to you to behave, otherwise, don't blame me for sweeping you out."

As soon as Song Huaishu's voice fell, Lu Zhengan nodded immediately. The father-in-law had already entered the yard with his daughter in his arms, and Lu Zhengan hurriedly came to Song Huaishu and whispered in his ear: "Then I must 'behave' well in the past few days and strive to satisfy Boss Song." ”

The word 'performance' was bitten very hard by Lu Zhengan, and its meaning is self-evident. Song Huaishu glanced around with a pair of red ears, and saw that there was no one else next to him, so he relaxed slightly.

But looking at Lu Zheng'an's smug smile, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, reached out and pinched his arm, and said softly: "When can you have a proper action?" ”

"I'm not doing anything right, aren't you telling me to behave?"

Seeing that Lu Zhengan was still aggrieved, Song Huaishu was not easy to argue with him, so he turned around and walked towards the courtyard.

Lu Zhengan followed behind him, looked at his red ears, which were almost dripping blood, chuckled and hurriedly chased after him.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's summer again.

Lu Zhengan thought about the fruits of Moling Town, and took Song Huaishu to Moling again during the fruit-setting period of the fruit trees.

He Zhonglin had almost forgotten these two people, and looking at Lu Zheng'an and Song Huaishu, who had suddenly appeared, He Zhonglin was stunned for a long time before he remembered who these two people were.

"Lu, Brother Lu, oops, you guys are really here."

He Zhonglin rubbed his hands a little helplessly, and after smirking twice, he remembered to beckon the two of them to go home.

He Zhonglin's family conditions are average, and there are three earthen houses where a family lives old and young. Last winter, He Zhonglin also got married, and the family was even more cramped when they were crammed into three mud houses.

Let Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu into the hall, and then hurriedly instructed his mother-in-law to go to the stove house to boil water to entertain guests.

After Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu sat down, He Zhonglin also cautiously sat down on the side. Looking at the eyes of the two of them, there was still some disbelief. "I thought that Brother Lu was just talking at the time, but I didn't expect you to really come."

"Since I have agreed with you, how can I not count if I speak? How is the garden doing this year? ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan's question, He Zhonglin smiled innocently. "It's okay, this year's plums and apricots are quite thick, much better than last year."

Just as he was saying this, he saw He Zhonglin's daughter-in-law, Zhang Meilian, walking in with tea.

Looking at Lu Zheng'an and Song Huaishu, who were dressed in muslin clothes, Zhang Meilian looked a little cramped and uneasy, and carefully put the tea in their hands and hurriedly walked out of the door.

He Zhonglin looked at Zhang Meilian's departing back and smiled apologetically at Lu Zheng'an. "The mother-in-law is timid, which makes the two of them laugh." After that, He Zhonglin cautiously asked, "Brother Lu, you came over this time, but is there something wrong?" ”

After all, it will take some time before the fruit will ripen, and if you say that it is impossible to buy the fruit.

Hearing He Zhonglin's question, Lu Zhengan also got straight to the point. "I heard that your Moling fruit is excellent, let me see what a good method is." After that, Lu Zhengan smiled, put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, and continued: "My family opened a workshop a few days ago, and if your family's fruit is really as good as you say, then I am afraid that I will come to your house more often in the future." ”

Seeing that He Zhonglin blinked and didn't seem to react, Song Huaishu on the side hurriedly explained with a smile: "My family has opened a dry goods workshop, I want to see how your family's fruit is." If the fruit is in good color, I will buy it from your house. ”

He Zhonglin had actually understood Lu Zhengan's words earlier, but he was a little incredulous for a while. Now hearing Song Huaishu's explanation, the whole person suddenly stood up excitedly.

"That's a good dare, go, go, I'll take you to the garden to see, whatever you want. I have peaches, plums, and apricots, and our village is planted with fruit trees, which will definitely satisfy you. ”

As he spoke, He Zhonglin shouted outside the door, and when he saw his daughter-in-law coming, He Zhonglin hurriedly ordered: "Meilian, you hurry up and go to the collection to cut the knife and come back, and I will take these two distinguished guests to our homeland to have a look." ”

Although Zhang Meilian did not understand why her husband was so excited, she could also understand from his expression that the two well-dressed guests who came today must have brought some good news. So, Zhang Meilian answered, took off her apron and walked out.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan hurriedly stopped the people and said, "My daughter is still in the town today, so she won't leave food." When the fruit falls another day, I will bring someone over, and if you don't keep food, I will be cheeky to eat. ”

He Zhonglin stopped a few times and saw that Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu were determined to leave, so they could only give up. On the way to accompany Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu to the orchard, He Zhonglin looked at the faces of the two of them and asked tentatively: "Then, when will you come again, Brother Lu?" ”

"Wait until the apricots are seven or eight ripe, otherwise when they are fully ripe, a bump on the road will be ruined."

"Cheng, when it's five or six minutes ripe, I'll go and report to Brother Lu."

He Zhonglin's home was close to the edge of the village, and the three of them walked while talking, and arrived at the orchard in less than a quarter of an hour.

At this time, in the orchard, Old Man He and his wife were cutting leaves in the orchard. When he heard someone in the ground, he immediately walked out of the garden.

After seeing clearly that the people who came were Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu, He Laohan recognized the two at a glance. He hurriedly took off the straw hat he was wearing on his head and walked out of the orchard with a hurry.

After a few greetings, He Laohan learned of Lu Zhengan's intention, his eyes were full of joy, and he couldn't stop calling 'benefactor', and Lu Zheng'an and Song Huaishu, who shouted directly, were full of embarrassment.

After coming out of the garden, Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't feel tired after this trip, but I kept talking to people and mentioning this strange heart."

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Song Huaishu's shoulders and said with a smile: "I'm not familiar with them at the moment, so naturally I have to leave a few points for my words, and it will be good to be familiar with them in the future." We've been out for the middle of the morning, and I don't know what happened to Xingyi and his mother at the inn, so let's go back and have a look. ”

Hearing Lu Zheng'an say this, Song Huaishu could not help but feel a little worried in his heart. In response, the two hurried to the town.

When Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu returned to the inn, they saw their mother-in-law walking helplessly carrying Lu Xingyi, who was covered in mud, to the room.

I saw Lu Xingyi quickly pounding these two little legs, and his little mouth also said in a sassy voice: "Trouble, the brain board of the inn said, the flowers in the pool are blooming." I told him to give me one, and I wanted to wait for my dad to come back and give it to him. ”

Although Lu Xingyi is less than two years old, he is already very fluent. Although some of the words are not clear, the meaning is very clear.

"People said to send you, but they didn't say to let you go down and fish by yourself. You're not as tall as a water tank when you stand up, so if you fall, are you still alive? ”

As soon as he heard his grandmother say that he was not as high as the water tank, Lu Xingyi was suddenly unhappy. He broke free from his grandmother's hands, stomped his right foot on the ground with both hands on his waist, and glared at his grandmother with an unhappy face, saying: "It's not right, I'm already taller than when I was a [tank], and I can touch the flowers when I reach out." ”

"Okay, okay, whatever you say. Let's go back to the house and change our clothes. Otherwise, when your dad and they come back, your ass will be in trouble. ”

mentioned his two fathers, Lu Xingyi's two little arms around his waist slowly began to slide down. His eyes flashed, and he already had some lack of confidence.

"Make trouble and scare Yin, my father loves me the most, so he won't beat me."

Although Lu Xingyi said so, his little feet had already moved towards his grandmother. After crossing my grandmother, I immediately ran quickly towards the room with my little feet.

Song Lanshi stood behind Lu Xingyi, looking at her two small mustaches swinging up and down, and couldn't help but be angry and funny. Just as he was about to raise his feet to catch up, he saw Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu coming in from outside hand in hand, and hurriedly glanced at the two of them.

"Your daughter just went to the backyard to pick the lotus flowers that the innkeeper kept in the water tank, and played with herself."

Seeing the helpless look of his mother-in-law, Lu Zhengan smiled and comforted: "It's okay, the weather has begun to heat up now, and it's okay to play a little." ”

However, Song Huaishu was a little relieved, and walked quickly to the room. Looking at the wet clothes that Lu Xingyi threw on the floor of the room, Song Huaishu only felt that the green tendons on his forehead were bulging outward. was about to step forward and beat Lu Xingyi, who was lying on the edge of the bed pouting his ass looking for clothes, but saw Lu Xingyi turn his head and pouted at his father.

"Daddy, you're back, you haven't been back for so long, I miss you." After that, Lu Xingyi put clothes on his body and continued: "I want to send flowers to you, but the water is too big, and I can't reach it and wet my clothes." ”

Lu Xingyi's words made Song Huaishu, who was about to get angry, suddenly dumbfounded, sighed, picked up the wet clothes on the ground and put them on the basin rack.

"Daddy is going to run errands, and it's inconvenient to take you with you. Daddy, if you're done, you'll be back right away. ”

As he spoke, Song Huaishu stepped forward to help Lu Xingyi buckle the buckle around his neck, and said softly: "It's still cold now, if you get caught the cold, how can you go to the ancestor's house to see the ancestor?" ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to see Mrs. Ji, Lu Xingyi's eyes suddenly lit up. "Revered? Can we go to visit the ancestors? ”

"Zun Du, Zun Du, hurry up and pack up, let's leave in the afternoon."

Hearing this, Lu Xingyi immediately nodded with a smile. Looking up at his father and grandmother who came into the door, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Father, make trouble, Dad said that he was going to visit the ancestor in the afternoon." ”

Mrs. Ji went to Lu Zheng'an's house when she was in the spring, and stayed there until a few days ago before returning to Jiang'an Town. Lu Zhengan's family originally went out with Mrs. Ji, and promised that the old lady would go to Ji's house again when she went back.

Lu Xingyi has always liked Mrs. Ji, and after spending so many days with her, he has become closer and closer to her. In the past few days of separation, although Lu Xingyi didn't say anything, he kept thinking about it in his heart. Now that I heard my father say that I could visit Mrs. Ji, I was naturally happy in my heart.
