Lu Xingyi grabbed the hem of Mrs. Ji's clothes and looked up at Mrs. Ji, her face full of happiness.

Although Old Madam Ji didn't know what Lu Xingyi was talking about, she still followed her words and said, "Yes, Zuzu has been on the road for so long, and he is already hungry. Did you cook the meat? Can you let Zuzu take a bite? ”

"Uh-huh, Zuzu can eat as much as he wants." With that, Lu Xingyi took Mrs. Ji's hand and walked towards the workshop.

Lu Zheng'an and Song Huaishu followed behind the two, looked at Ji Yueqiao and Mama Zhang on the side, and hurriedly asked, "What happened on the way?" Why did you come back from Jiangnan at this point? ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan's words, Mama Zhang suddenly looked helpless.

"I was ready to start going back, but when it snowed on the way, the old lady saw that the snow was very beautiful, so she delayed it for a few days. No, I've been delayed until now......"

"No, my second brother is in a hurry, and several letters have come in a row. I was going to come to pick us up, but my grandmother didn't want to, and since she and Mama Zhang were also old, I didn't dare to go too fast. Hey, I'm going to be on fire. Fortunately, we can make it to the New Year, otherwise, we will go back to my second brother and have to demolish me. ”

Thinking of Ji Yuexian, who was staying at home in Jiang'an Town, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but want to laugh a little.

When I looked up, I saw that my daughter had dragged Mrs. Ji into the workshop, and hurriedly followed.

Although Mrs. Ji also came over in suffering, this is the first time she has eaten such a big pot of stew.

Originally, Lu Zhengan was afraid that she would not be used to eating, so he wanted to cook a few side dishes for her and Mama Zhang. But the old lady looked at the sauerkraut pot in the pot, took a small bowl and tasted it, and thought it tasted very good. also learned from Lu Xingyi's appearance, asked Lu Zhengan to help fill a small bowl, and sat at the small table in the workshop with Lu Xingyi to eat.

The people in the village were a little confused by the sudden arrival of Mrs. Ji, and after asking Lu Zhengan, they knew that Mrs. Ji had just come back from outside for a trip, so they were all relieved.

Lu Tieniu, who was outspoken, exhaled and said, "It should be that this old lady ran away from home because of the awkward quarrel with the family." ”

As soon as Lu Tieniu's words fell, he was kicked off the stool by his father Lu Qingshan. With a black face, he scolded: "You dog can't spit out ivory rammer in his mouth, what kind of is for the New Year." ”

Lu Tieniu also knew that this was inappropriate, so he didn't get angry when he was hit by his father. Scratching his head, he laughed innocently and dodged to the side.

When everyone saw him like this, they burst into laughter.

Lu Zhengan also smiled, looked up and saw that the sky was slowly darkening, and hurriedly called Li Erwang and a few strong laborers in the village, and instructed: "When I came back, I also bought a lot of flowers and put them in the workshop, you go and move out, while everyone is happy today, we are also happy." ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan's words, everyone immediately cheered. After all, the price of the flower is expensive, and ordinary people are not willing to buy it, so they can only look at it from a distance. Now that I heard Lu Zhengan say that they can also let go, how can everyone not be happy in their hearts.

Five or six young and middle-aged people immediately rushed into the workshop and moved out the flowers that Lu Zhengan had bought in advance.

Song Huaishu on the side couldn't help but smile when he saw everyone so happy.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan reached out to hold his palm, and the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Chapter 133

The families in Lujia Village are not wealthy, and they are usually not very willing to eat meat. Now that the large pieces of meat are allowed to be eaten openly, one by one, the straight eating melons are full of belly rounds, and then they still put down the dishes and chopsticks.

At this time, there will be nearly one and a half of the three big fat pigs left, and Lu Zhengan's family will not be able to eat them until the beginning of next spring. Lu Zhengan thought for a while, and only asked people to help keep the ribs, so that the big guys could share them all.

He ate the meat, drank the wine, put the flowers, and divided the meat. The villagers in the workshop only felt that the year was like a dream, and it was lively until the end of the day.

When Mrs. Ji came, it was already noon, and she played with Lu Xingyi in the workshop for a while, and chatted with everyone in the village for a while.

Although Mrs. Ji was surrounded by a lot of people, it was inconvenient to walk at night. In addition, it was only half a morning's journey from Jiang'an Town, and under the persuasion of Lu Zheng'an and Song Huaishu, as well as Lu Xingyi's tearful offensive, Mrs. Ji finally decided to stay at Lu Zheng'an's house for one night and wait until dawn the next day before leaving home.

"How is the old lady feeling all this way?"

Listening to Lu Zheng'an's question, Mrs. Ji told Lu Zheng'an and Song Huaishu about the customs and customs she had seen along the way, and the things she had already felt novel.

When she knew that Lu Zheng'an was going south with Ji Yuexian in the future, Mrs. Ji's eyes swept over Song Huaishu on the side, and when she saw the envy and longing in the depths of his eyes, she asked Lu Zheng'an bluntly: "You and Yuexian are going south, what about Huaishu?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Zheng'an looked back at Song Huaishu and said with a smile: "I don't know how long it will take to go south this time, and I don't know what the distance will be. I'll take him with me next time I have the chance. ”

Hearing Lu Zheng'an's reply, Mrs. Ji glanced at him, then took a sip of the teacup with a faint expression, and then said: "Your idea is indeed good, but the journey south is long after all, and if you don't have someone around you to take care of it, it is indeed inconvenient, and it won't cost much to take Huaishu with you." And after the Spring Festival, there is usually no business in the shop, and your father-in-law should be able to come over and help you for a few days. ”

When Lu Zhengan saw Mrs. Ji say this, he was a little confused for a while. However, after being stunned, Lu Zhengan reacted.

Looking sideways at Song Huaishu on the side, Lu Zhengan stretched out his hand to hold his hand and said with a smile: "Naturally, I want to bring Huaishu with me, but there is no one to entrust in the shop, and I am a little embarrassed to trouble my father-in-law." Since the old lady helped me with the move, then I will speak. When I was in the past, I only said that the old lady had helped me come up with the idea, and it had nothing to do with me. ”

When Mrs. Ji saw that Lu Zheng'an had made her mind clear, she was relieved and amused. Stretched out his hand and nodded at Lu Zhengan, turned his head and smiled at Mama Zhang on the side: "See, it's just a monkey climbing up the pole." Only then did he give him a few colors, and he began to think about opening a dyeing workshop. ”

Mama Zhang stood aside and said with a smile: "That's not what you are used to, old lady, if you are three sticks and one board, do you dare to do this?" ”

Hearing Mama Zhang say this, Lu Zhengan immediately pretended to be frightened. "The old lady can't listen to Mama Zhang, if it's really broken, there will be no one to talk to you to relieve your boredom when you come back in the future."

Lu Zhengan's voice fell, and everyone present immediately laughed again.

After everyone laughed, Mrs. Ji rubbed her crutches. Mama Zhang, who was standing behind her, immediately said, "It's not too early, the old lady should go to bed peacefully, right?" ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Ji said: "You go to the kitchen and boil a basin of hot water for me, and I will burn my feet to relieve my fatigue." ”

Hearing Mrs. Ji say this, Mama Zhang was stunned for a moment and then reacted. When he passed by Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu, he asked casually, "Is the fire fold of the young master's family still in its place?" ”

Seeing this, Song Huaishu immediately got up, and while walking towards Mama Zhang, he said, "I'll accompany you." ”

Mrs. Ji watched Mama Zhang and Song Huaishu walk out of the room, and turned her head to look at Lu Zheng'an. Seeing that Lu Zheng'an's mother-in-law Song Lan did not come out, he said: "I always thought you were a "smart child", but I didn't expect you to be a fool when something happened. ”

When Lu Zhengan heard Mrs. Ji say this, he was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Old Madam Ji continue: "The silver in that world is inexhaustible, how can you go south with Yuexian and leave Huaishu at home?" ”

Seeing that Old Madam Ji actually reprimanded herself for this, Lu Zhengan hurriedly explained: "I heard that the climate in the south is not very good, and Huaishu has not traveled far, I am worried that he will not be able to stand the fatigue of traveling all the way. ”

"Although your worries are not unreasonable, have you ever asked Huai Shu's opinion? He's a little weaker than you, but he's still a man after all. How can you really keep him stuck in one place all the time? ”

After Mrs. Ji finished speaking, seeing that Lu Zhengan still wanted to explain, she frowned and raised her hand to interrupt him. "I know what you're trying to say, and I've always believed that you're a person who can do great things. Since Huaishu has formed a contract with you, he will naturally be a person who is compatible with you in the future. You have to know that no matter how deep the relationship is, there will be problems after a long time of unequal time. If there is discord in the family, everything will be closed. ”

Seeing Lu Zheng'an's thoughtful appearance when he heard his words, a hint of relief flashed between Old Madam Ji's eyebrows. "Huaishu is a good boy, he can think about you wholeheartedly, and he is willing to give birth to children for you. I know that if you don't bring him, you're worried about his body, and I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it. But even if the road is slower, it is much better than being separated for a long time. ”

After that, a smile appeared on the corner of Old Madam Ji's mouth, "Of course, I am also selfish in persuading you like this." Seeing Lu Zheng'an looking at herself in surprise, Mrs. Ji continued to smile and said, "After all, the Xingyi girl is big, so she can ask for another one." You two have been separated for a long time, how can I hold my great-grandson? ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but feel a little hot, and at the same time couldn't help but laugh. "You can always persuade people, but I remember your old words."

……

The next day, Mrs. Ji took someone to board the car and left without breakfast.

Before leaving, Mrs. Ji glanced at Lu Zhengan with deep meaning, and at the same time instructed him a few words. Seeing that Lu Zhengan nodded in agreement, he entered the carriage with confidence.

Song Huaishu hugged Lu Xingyi, who was full of unhappiness, and coaxed softly, sensing that Old Madam Ji and Lu Zhengan seemed to be a little weird, and wanted to ask the reason. But before he could speak, Lu Xingyi couldn't help but start crying as he looked at the carriage in the distance.

Seeing this, Song Huaishu couldn't take care of anything else, so he hurriedly hugged his daughter and began to coax.

After finally calming down Lu Xingyi, Lu Zhengan wanted to take the father and daughter to his father-in-law's shop in the town to help out.

However, when the family of three walked onto the mountain road, they saw Lu Changgen squatting next to the garden, facing the peach trees in a garden. After hearing Lu Xingyi's shout, Lu Changgen turned his head to look at Lu Zhengan's family of three in a daze, and his eyes were almost full of sorrow.

"What are you going to do here?" Lu Changgen stood up from the ground with his knees propped up, reached out to hold Lu Xingyi's little hand and asked with a smile.

"Go to the town to see Grandpa, what is Grandpa doing here, isn't it cold?"

Lu Xingyi's milky voice of concern made Lu Changgen's heart as sweet as eating honey, and he replied with a smile: "It's not cold, grandpa is wearing thick clothes." ”

"Why doesn't Uncle Changgen go to the house to sit and sit, what are you doing here? This place is close to the wind and cold, what are you doing here? ”

Lu Chang wanted to find an excuse to be perfunctory, but he didn't know that in the face of Lu Zheng'an and Song Huaishu's concerned eyes, all the words turned into a sigh when they came to his mouth.

Seeing Uncle Changgen's expression, Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu couldn't help but start to worry. was about to ask what happened, but he saw Uncle Changgen glance at Lu Xingyi, who was stepping on the ice, and said, "You and Huaishu are not outsiders, so I will tell the truth." Last night, I bumped into Erwang's rabbit cub holding hands with Yingchun......"

Lu Zhengan quietly glanced at Song Huaishu, and then said: "It's normal for children to fight and make trouble among themselves, and Uncle Changgen doesn't need to think about it. Moreover, they have grown up together since childhood, and what can they do when they hold hands. ”

Listening to Lu Zhengan's words, Lu Changgen shook his head slightly. "I'm not a little bit of a person, how can I tell the difference between Erwang's eyes and the way I look at Yingchun."

"So, what is Uncle Nagane going to do? Directly separate the two? ”

As soon as Lu Zheng'an said this, Song Huaishu hurriedly pinched the back of his hand and reminded him that he could not speak like this. And Lu Zhengan shook his head slightly at him, signaling to see Uncle Changgen's reaction first.

Listening to Lu Zhengan's words, Lu Changgen was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Hey, if you want to say that Erwang, this rabbit cub is a good boy, and they all know the roots of the big family in the same village. But he can't stand the fact that he has a brother and sister-in-law who doesn't act and a father and mother who has a bodhisattva nature. If they really succeed, it will be enough to cope with his big family in the future. ”

"If Erwang treats Yingchun sincerely, he will naturally not see our girl being wronged. And Yingchun is not a soft person, if their family is really not good, Yingchun is by no means at their disposal. Besides, we are all from the same village, and if there is any trouble, the family will be clear-minded, and they will not dare to do anything to the Spring Festival girl. ”

When Lu Changgen saw Lu Zhengan say this, he also felt that there was some reason. "You're right, under our noses, forgive them for not daring to do anything about the Spring Festival."

After saying that, Lu Changgen raised his eyes to look at Lu Zhengan, who was smiling, and couldn't help frowning. "No, I don't think there's something wrong with what you're saying. Why aren't you surprised to hear about them, do you know something? ”

Hearing this, Lu Zheng'an was stunned, raised his hands and waved at Uncle Changgen. "What did Uncle Changgen say this, Huaishu and I just came back the day before yesterday, how can I know about them. Besides, if we really knew about such a big matter, then we wouldn't have to talk to you all the time. ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan say this, Lu Changgen was relieved. "Okay, aren't you going to town, go quickly, I'll have to go back and clean up the house again."

After that, Lu Changgen touched Lu Xingyi's head and walked down the mountain with his hands behind his back.

And Lu Zhengan hugged Song Huaishu's waist and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lu Changgen's back descending the mountain. "If Uncle Changgen and Aunt Shuyi really nodded, that kid from Erwang would really have to thank me."

Chapter 134

The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.

With the sound of three door opening guns, the new year officially began.

Lu Zhengan put the meals and dumplings on the first day of the new year, and after worshipping the emperor and the grandparents of the god of the stove, he beckoned the family to start eating.

During this year's Spring Festival, the two elders of the Song family still spent time at Lu Zheng'an's house. Before moving the chopsticks, Lu Xingyi kowtowed to his grandmother and grandfather to greet the New Year, and after receiving a big red seal, he immediately got up from the ground, pointed to the place where he had knelt, and hurriedly beckoned his two fathers to kneel.

"Daddy, quick, make a fuss and give money."

Looking at Lu Xingyi's full of small wealth fans, several people couldn't help laughing. Before Song Lanshi could tease her for a few words, she saw that Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu really lifted their clothes and knelt down in front of them. After saying two auspicious words to the two of them in a proper manner, they stood up with the support of the two elders, and at the same time, each of them received a big red envelope.

Holding the big red envelope in his hand, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but cry and laugh. After glancing at Song Huaishu, Lu Zhengan said helplessly to the two elders: "Father, mother, we are not children anymore, where do we still need to give the red seal ......?"

"Look at what you say, no matter what time you are, even if you are a hundred years old, before us, you are all children."

Song Lan saw that the dumplings on the table were getting cold, and hurriedly beckoned a few people to sit down and eat.

As soon as Lu Zhengan and the others put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands, some people from the village and Lu Zhengan's contemporaries came to the small courtyard of the Lu family and lined up to pay homage to the two elders of the Song family. For a time, the small courtyard of the Lu family was full of people inside and out, and it was very lively.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, early in the morning, Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu packed up some festival gifts and took Lu Xingyi into the carriage to Jiang'an Town.

During this year's Spring Festival, everyone in the Ji family gathered extraordinarily, and even several of Ji Yuexian's cousins who had stayed in Shangjing before also returned.

I don't know if they have been beaten in advance, but the young masters of the Ji family saw that Lu Zhengan's family was not good-looking, and they didn't understand why the family was so enthusiastic about them. However, a few people have eaten a lot of cold faces in Beijing during this time, and although they still have some disdain for Lu Zheng'an's family in their hearts, they are not excessively polite on the surface.

After having a lunch with Ji's family, Mrs. Ji was very impatient when she looked at a few unsuccessful grandsons, so she waved her hand and asked them to go back, leaving only Ji Yuexian to talk to Lu Zhengan.

"Now that this year has passed, when are we going to leave for the south?" Ji Yuexian was a little tired of eating, so he drank a few sips of flower tea and rinsed his mouth.

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan helped Lu Xingyi straighten out his crooked beard, raised his eyes and looked at Ji Yuexian and replied: "What's the matter, I have to pass the fifth day, and I will arrange the affairs of the family and the workshop in the past two days, and I will come to look for you." ”

"Okay, but when will Huaishu return to Yuanyang? Can someone send it? ”

Since being ordered by Mrs. Ji, Lu Zhengan changed his mind and decided to wait for Song Huaishu to go with him. Now seeing Ji Yuexian's question, Lu Zhengan hurriedly replied in front of Song Huaishu: "I plan to wait for Huaishu to have a long experience with Huaishu this time, and Yuan Yang will temporarily let my father-in-law help take care of it." A few elders and a few masters in the village on the other side of the workshop can be trusted, so there is no need to worry much. ”

Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu have always been Meng who is not out of focus, and they are not focused on Meng. Originally, Ji Yuexian was still curious about how Lu Zheng'an could let Song Huaishu go alone, but now he saw that he really changed his mind, and he was not surprised.
