Lu Zhaokun shook his head and finally came to his senses.
Seeing that everyone was staring at the flour and fatty pork in front of them, he quickly turned around and gave them a wink.
"Sigh, my daughter went to join the army, and somehow she earned military merit. I'm still completely baffled."
Lu Xiuxiu picked up a piece of pork.
Yang Cuilan picked up a small bag of high-gluten flour.
The mother and daughter tacitly took their things and hurried back to the north room, while Zhang Hongmei, who was heavily pregnant, quickly followed them.
Lu Zhaokun smiled and talked with the villagers for a while, then immediately started chasing them away again.
"Everyone, go back now. We'll be starting work soon, so don't be late."
"You stingy old man Lu, you won't even offer a cup of tea."
"Exactly, it's a happy occasion, yet they're not even hosting a banquet."
Lu Zhaokun chuckled, acting as if he hadn't heard a thing.
In order to find a wife for his second son, the family was facing a famine, so he couldn't afford to be generous.
"Uncle, I want wedding candy, I want wedding candy."
"Oh my, your third uncle didn't even know there was such a happy occasion. We didn't prepare anything at home. I'll make it up to you after the New Year. Go back now."
...
After the crowd gradually dispersed, the village head of Houpo Village returned carrying a package.
"Zhao Kun? Zhao Kun, it's a package your daughter mailed."
"Second brother, thank you so much. Please come inside. I'm still confused. Please analyze this for me."
Lu Zhaokun quickly took it, and he pulled Lu Zhaoguo into the house.
He asked his wife to chop some meat and cook some vegetables so he could have a good drink with his second brother.
"Zhaokun, Fangwa has really made something of herself! A third-class military merit, this has really brought great honor to our Lu family. From now on, you will be a respected person in Yangjiazhai Commune."
"Also, look at this big package, it's really heavy on your shoulders. You won't have to worry about that anymore."
Lu Zhaokun sat on the table, overjoyed.
He poured a bowl of water for his second brother, and then picked up his pipe and started smoking his pipe again.
"Dad, what did Fangfang send this time?"
Looking at the large package on the table, Zhang Hongmei felt a nagging unease.
Such a big package must contain something good.
Oh dear, thank goodness the eldest son's family has moved out and is living separately.
"I don't know either, Fangfang didn't tell her family either."
"Dad, why don't we open it and take a look? Second Uncle isn't an outsider."
As she spoke, Zhang Hongmei leaned closer, staring intently at the package.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?"
Lu Zhaokun was extremely embarrassed; he had been put on a pedestal by his daughter-in-law.
He wasn't worried about his second brother, who was the brigade leader, but he didn't want to open it in front of his second daughter-in-law.
