When he heard that Lu Xingyi was actually in town with his parents-in-law, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but regret a little that he hadn't made a trip there. Knowing that Song Huaishu had always remembered his daughter, Lu Zhengan hurriedly said: "Then Huaishu and I will go to the town to have a look, and it will be lively tomorrow, so we will bring them all back together." Uncle Changgen, let Aunt Shuyi cook our food at night, and we will go to your house at night to partner. ”

"Cheng, I'll wait to go back to your aunt and say it. It's cold now, so when you come back, dress Xingyi thicker, so as not to catch a cold. ”

The two of them have been out for so long, so they naturally miss their children. Therefore, the four masters did not stop them, and when they saw that they were leaving, they did not stop them, and sent the two to the door, and couldn't help but smile when they looked at the backs of the two kissing Mimi.

"You say, we've met a good owner?" Master Zhang touched his injured left arm and whispered.

"Food, drink, clothing and housing are arranged so well, and the salary is not less than when we used to work, we don't have to worry about anything, this is not a good owner, how else can it be counted?"

After that, Master Huang stroked his beard with the palm that was intact, and then turned to a few old men beside him and said, "Let's go, let's also scald the pot of wine tonight, stir-fry two dishes, and have a good drink." ”

……

When Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu came to the town, Lu Xingyi was sitting in front of the carbon stove with his grandmother listening to the story. Two fat little hands held their faces, and their expressions were very focused.

I saw agarwood holding the Xuanhua Mountain God Axe to slash towards Huashan, once, twice, three times, only to hear a rumbling sound, the high and steep Huashan was finally split by agarwood. Agarwood hurriedly found the Black Cloud Cave and found his mother, who he thought about day and night. Agarwood and his mother hugged each other tightly and burst into tears. Since then, Agarwood and his parents have lived happily together. ”

After that, Song Lan put the books in his hand together, tilted his head to look at the teary-eyed Lu Xingyi who was moved, and said, "Okay, Agarwood splitting the mountain to save my mother is finished." Isn't it time for us to take a nap? ”

As soon as Song Lan's words fell, Lu Xingyi held his face and began to cry. "Woo woo, Tengxiang is so pitiful. Woo, Xingyi is also so pitiful. ”

Hearing Lu Xingyi say this, Song Lan helped her wipe the tears on her face and asked, "Didn't Agarwood finally reunite with his parents, what's so pitiful?" And what do you have to be? ”

"Tengxiang has a mother, Xingyi doesn't, how can Xingyi not have mercy."

As soon as he heard Lu Xingyi's words, Song Huaishu suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. Just when I didn't know how to answer, I heard the door creak and someone pushed it open from the outside. The ancestors and grandsons subconsciously turned their heads, only to see Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu walking in from outside.

Looking at the two people who suddenly appeared, Lu Xingyi only felt that he was still dreaming. Rubbing his eyes, he turned his head and said to his grandmother: "Trouble, I dreamed again that my father and father were back." ”

When Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu heard Lu Xingyi say this, they only felt sour in their hearts. Then Lu Zhengan stepped forward and put his frozen finger on Lu Xingyi's cheek. Seeing that she was excited by the ice, Lu Zhengan smiled and said, "Is it cool?" Or is it not a dream? ”

Hearing that it was indeed his father's voice, Lu Xingyi blinked, jumped up from the chair and threw himself into Lu Zheng'an's arms. After hugging Lu Zhengan and kissing him a few times, he turned his head and hugged his father.

"Trouble, daddy, they're really back!"

"Look at you." Song Lanshi poked Lu Xingyi's head with a smile, and then asked the two with a smile, "When did you get home?" I'm going to go back to the village and have a look. ”

"Not long after we got home, when we returned to the village, we heard from them that you and Xingyi lived in the town, so we came over. Is my father's shop still busy during this time? ”

Song Lanshi went to the table and poured two cups of hot tea, and hurriedly motioned for the two to sit down and talk. "It's only been these two days, and nothing has happened in the past."

"Daddy, when are we going to go home? Last time, Aunt Yingchun said that she was going to kill the big fat pig in the New Year, and Xingyi also wanted to go back to explore. ”

Hearing this, Song Huaishu touched his daughter's little head, and said with a warm smile: "I'll go back later, we haven't talked to grandma yet." ”

"You little conscienceless, as soon as your fathers come back, you won't want grandma."

Lu Xingyi glanced at her grandmother's expression, and smiled at her flatteringly. "If you want it, if you want it, if your father comes back to buy delicious food, you will eat it all in trouble."

Song Lanshi was coaxed by Lu Xingyi for a while, and remembered the new clothes made for the two of them in the cabinet, so she hurriedly got up and went to the back room to take them out.

"I've made you a new set of clothes for the New Year, and I'll try it later to see if it fits." Thinking of the last time he went, Lu Zhengan said that he wanted to go to the south to see, and he had always been quite concerned. "Zheng'an said before that he was going to the south, but he planned to leave after the New Year?"

Hearing his mother-in-law's question, Lu Zhengan nodded immediately. "When I send Huaishu to Yuanyang after the New Year, I plan to go out and have a look, and then the second son of the Ji family will go with me."

Song Lanshi heard that Ji Yuexian would go with Lu Zheng'an, so he was a little relieved. was about to speak again, but he heard Lu Xingyi on the side climbing Song Huaishu's neck and asked seriously: "Daddy, is my mother also locked up by the gods?" ”

Chapter 131

Returning to Hualong Mountain, which had been absent for a long time, Song Huaishu only felt strange and familiar.

Especially looking at the moon season when the leaves in the yard are still tender and green, and the firewood sheds full of piles, I just feel warm in my heart.

Lu Zhengan used a broom to sweep away the newly fallen leaves at the door, and saw that Lu Xingyi was about to rush out with a shovel, so he hurriedly lifted her collar and lifted the person back.

Lu Xingyi wanted to go to the door to build a snowman while the adults were not paying attention, but he didn't expect to be picked up by his father. Looking up at his father, Lu Xingyi laughed.

"What are you running outside on this cold day? Tomorrow the village will kill the New Year's pigs, if you catch the cold, but you won't be able to go. ”

As soon as he heard his father say that the New Year pig would be killed in the village tomorrow, Lu Xingyi suddenly became honest. He put the shovel he was hiding under the eaves and ran into the hall with a bang. Seeing Song Huaishu coming out of the stove house with a basin of water, Lu Zhengan sighed helplessly.

"This girl in our family is really naughty. I guess when I grow up, I'm afraid it's going to be more of a headache. ”

"Children have big hearts, and it would be nice to be older. What about people, are they in trouble again? ”

"No, I found out I wanted to go out and play. Tell her that tomorrow the village will kill the New Year pigs, and she doesn't know what to do in the house at this time. But the child is quiet, he must be a demon, you better don't do anything, go into the house and watch her. ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan's words, Song Huaishu couldn't help laughing. He poured the water out of the basin and walked to the hall.

After Lu Zhengan rubbed the pile of fallen leaves out of the yard, and returned to the hall after washing his hands, Song Huaishu was already asleep on the recliner with Lu Xingyi in his arms.

Looking at the peaceful sleeping faces of the father and daughter, Lu Zhengan took a blanket from the house and gently covered the two of them, and then came out of the room lightly.

The snow-covered Hualong Mountain is exceptionally quiet, and no other sound can be heard except for the whining of the wind and the occasional birdsong. Lu Zhengan stood on the field in front of the door, quietly looking at the endless peach grove on the slope, recalling the fruitful scenes of summer, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved.

I don't know how long it was, but just as Lu Zhengan was about to go home and wake up Song Huaishu and Lu Xingyi, he saw Li Erwang suddenly come over.

"When did Erwang come back? How is the work progressing in Linzhou? Lu Zhengan asked with a smile.

Li Erwang looked up at Lu Zhengan's expression, and then lowered his head again. "Shen Ji's boss has allocated a lot of manpower to the master, and it is estimated that it will be completed in February or March."

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan nodded, and was about to ask about Master Cao's situation. I saw Li Erwang with his head bowed and kicking the mud on the ground with his toes, as if he had something in his heart and didn't know how to change his words.

Seeing him like this, Lu Zhengan could roughly guess something. However, he couldn't talk about this kind of thing after all, so he waited for Li Erwang to speak first.

After a while, just when Lu Zheng'an's patience was exhausted and he wanted to go home, Li Erwang seemed to have finally mustered up his courage, looked up at Lu Zhengan, and stammered: "Little, little Brother An, I have something I want to ask you for help." ”

Hearing that Li Erwang finally spoke, Lu Zhengan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Rubbing his palm, which had been frozen cold, he said, "What's the matter?" Tell me about it. ”

Hearing Lu Zheng'an say this, Li Erwang lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, and finally clenched his fist and said to Lu Zhengan: "I want to marry Yingchun as his wife." ”

Xu was afraid of hearing Lu Zheng'an's objection, and after Li Erwang finished speaking, he immediately said: "I know that with our family's conditions, it is a toad who wants to eat swan meat if I want to marry Yingchun, but I really like Yingchun, and I will definitely be good to her in the future, and I will never let her be wronged." Brother Xiaoan, Uncle Changgen and Aunt Shuyi believe your words the most, can you help me make peace? ”

When Lu Zhengan heard Li Erwang say this, he couldn't help but laugh. "Uncle Changgen and Aunt Shuyi may listen to me in other aspects, but it is a lifelong event related to the Spring Festival, and I can't interject, so it's useless for you to come to me for this matter."

When Li Erwang heard Lu Zhengan say this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart. His head drooped, and his eyes turned red.

When Lu Zhengan saw him like this, he inevitably felt a little unbearable in his heart. After thinking about it, I couldn't help but prompt: "If you have a heart for that girl in the spring, you might as well tell Uncle Changgen the truth directly." He is not an unreasonable person, as long as you and the Spring Festival girl are happy, it is estimated that he will not interfere much. ”

Hearing Lu Zheng'an's remarks, Li Erwang nodded although he was a little timid. Turning his head to see Song Huaishu walking out of the courtyard with Lu Xingyi in his arms, Li Erwang said hello to Song Huaishu with a red face.

"Erwang is here, why don't you go to sit at home?"

"I'm fine, just come over and talk to Brother Xiaoan." After that, Li Erwang looked up at Lu Zhengan, his eyes full of pleading.

When Lu Zhengan looked at his expression, he didn't know what he meant. With a smile, he took the sleepy-eyed Lu Xingyi and promised to Li Erwang: "Okay, don't worry, I won't talk to Huaishu about this, don't worry." ”

Li Erwang had trusted Lu Zheng'an, and when he heard his assurance, he immediately relieved his heart.

Seeing this, Song Huaishu couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you two doing here, mysterious and secretive." ”

"I won't tell you yet, when I really do, I'll tell Brother Xiao Song again." Li Erwang smiled and pinched Lu Xingyi's fat little paws and shook them. Seeing that she had just woken up, she was lazily leaning on Lu Zheng'an's arms and was unwilling to pay attention to people, Li Erwang stopped teasing her, and after saying hello to the two, he ran down the mountain.

Looking at Li Erwang's back, Song Huaishu glanced at Lu Zhengan suspiciously, and after thinking about it for a while, he also guessed what Li Erwang had come to Lu Zhengan for. Although he guessed it, he promised Li Erwang that he would keep his promise, and Song Huaishu did not break it, so as not to make him lose his trust.

Seeing the sun setting, Song Huaishu asked while helping his daughter sort out the rabbit fur cloak on her body, "Didn't you say that you would go to Uncle Changgen's house for dinner tonight?" When are you going? ”

Lu Zhengan put his daughter on his shoulder, and after turning around for a while, he heard Lu Xingyi's laughter as he wished, and then replied: "Wait a little longer, didn't my father and mother say that they would come over tonight, let's go with them, lest we find no one when the time comes." ”

When Song Huaishu heard that this was indeed the case, he thought that there were still some things he had bought from Yuanyang at home that had not yet been sorted out, so he asked Lu Zhengan to take his daughter to play first, while he was busy returning home.

When the two elders of the Song family came by in a hurry, Song Huaishu had just packed up the things he had brought back.

As soon as Song Lanshi entered the house, a fishy smell made her busy covering her nose. "What are you kidding up at home? Why is it so big? ”

"There was a stall owner who sold seafood next to us, and Zheng'an saw that their fish was good, so he bought some. Aren't we going to Uncle Changgen's house for dinner, we also bought a lot, just bring some to them, and it can be regarded as an extra dish for the Chinese New Year. ”

Song Lan looked at his son, who was acting more and more properly, and his heart was full of relief. Loosen your mouth and nose and feel that the smell was lighter, so she said to Song Huaishu: "Okay, it's not too early, let's hurry over." This big family is eating, your Aunt Shuyi is too tired to work alone, let's get over early and still be able to help. ”

When the family came to Lu Changgen's house neatly, Yang Shuyi was stewing mutton in the kitchen. Hearing footsteps from the yard, he poked his head out to take a look.

Seeing that it was really Lu Zhengan's family who came, Yang Shuyi immediately laughed. "I'm talking about why you haven't come yet, go to the hall and warm up. When the mutton soup is ready, we can eat. ”

Song Lan has only one younger brother like Lan Mengcheng, and after getting along with Yang Shuyi in the past two years, he is almost like a sister.

"Yingchun, when I came back, I saw that there were sugar skewers for sale, so I bought her two skewers."

As soon as Song Lan's words fell, Lu Yingchun immediately poked his head out of the same stove house. "Oh, it's still my Aunt Song who loves me the most. Knowing that I love to eat this, I even gave it to me on such a cold day. ”

As he spoke, Lu Yingchun clapped his hands and walked to Song Lan's side, and took the brown paper bag wrapped in sugar skewers from her hand.

As soon as Lu Xingyi heard that there were sugar skewers to eat, he immediately struggled to slip out of his father's arms. Running in front of his grandmother with two little short legs, he raised his head and asked, "Trouble, where are Xingyi's skewers?" ”

"You had a toothache the other day, but you can't eat this anymore."

Hearing that his grandmother didn't let him eat it, Lu Xingyi immediately turned his head to look at Lu Yingchun, who was holding two sugar skewers, "Auntie, I made a fuss, I ate a toothache after eating skewers." ”

Lu Yingchun likes to tease Lu Xingyi the most on weekdays, and when she heard her say this, she immediately took a bite, and nodded while eating. "Your grandma said that you have a toothache, but my tooth doesn't hurt after eating. Well, this sugar skewer is so sweet. ”

Yang Shuyi saw that Lu Yingchun was deliberately making trouble, and she was angry and funny for a while. Stretched out his hand and patted her on the back, and scolded with a smile: "This girl herself is a little gluttonous cat, wait for you to make her cry again, you coax me." ”

Lu Xingyi still wanted to cry, but when he saw Lu Yingchun being beaten, he didn't know what he thought, so he immediately held back his tears. Turning his head and hugging his grandmother's legs, he flattered: "Make trouble, Xingyi is obedient and doesn't eat skewers." ”

Looking at Lu Xingyi's attitude, everyone couldn't help laughing. Yang Shuyi bent down and picked up Lu Xingyi, arched her neck, and walked all the way to the stove house.

"Oh, we, Shuyi, are so obedient. Let's go, grandma made you fried cakes, let's not give this bad aunt to eat. ”

Everyone laughed and laughed, and the mutton soup in the pot had already been stewed. Lu Zhengan looked at Yang Shuyi as if she had nowhere to do anything about the hairtail fish on the board, and hurriedly asked for an apron to wrap around her body.

Neatly scraped off the scales on the hairtail, removed the fish intestines, washed and cut them into sections, and asked Aunt Shuyi to help find the peppercorns and put them in a clay pot to marinate for a while, and use starch to transfer water to hang the scales on the hairtail, and then began to fry in the hot oil pot.

When it is fried until both sides are golden brown, the hairtail is fished out of the oil pan with a skewer.

"Eh, I thought it was so difficult, isn't this similar to how much fish we usually fry in our family."

Hearing this, Song Huaishu, who was burning the fire, said with a smile: "It's the same, but we don't see this kind of sea fish here, so it's normal that we don't know how to eat it." Moreover, this fish has only one main spine, which is very suitable for the elderly and children. ”

Because all the people who came were from their own families, and everyone was not divided into men and women, the two families sat together and had a reunion dinner.

Recalling this year's experience, Lu Changgen pinched his wine glass and couldn't help but smirk. looked back at Song Xiren, who was already blushing, reached out and patted his arm and gave him a thumbs up.

"Brother Song, to tell me the truth, Zheng'an and I have to thank you and your sister-in-law. If it weren't for your full support for political security, political security would not have been as great as it is today, and the men, women, and children in our village would not have been able to have such a good year this year. ”

When Song Xiren heard this, he frowned and waved his hand at him. "It's not right for my brother to say this, in the final analysis, it is Zheng'an's own efforts, otherwise it will be useless for us to fully support him."

Song Lanshi and Yang Shuyi on the side looked at the drunken two and were speechless, and picked up Lu Xingyi, who was playing with Lu Yingchun on the side, into the back room together.

Lu Yingchun will be 15 years old after the New Year, and at the age of 15, he has already said that he is ready to marry someone in other people's homes. Because the Lu family has few daughters and children, and Lu Changgen's family is also well-off, Lu Yingchun is nearly fifteen years old and is still ignorant of the world like a naïve child.

Song Lan sat on the kang in the back room, looked at the innocent and lively Lu Yingchun, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her head. "Yingchun, this girl has reached the age of the New Year, what are you going to do with her?"

Hearing this, Yang Shuyi subconsciously turned her head to look at the girl who was lying on the kang and was fighting with Lu Xingyi, and at the same time, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh.
