Not long after the family returned, Lu Ping came over with two bags and a basket, "Aunt Four, these are what my parents asked me to bring to Zhengxu to replenish his body."
Wu Guilan and Shen Jiao both wanted him to take it back.
But Lu Ping just put down his things and left, without giving them any chance to refuse.
Wu Guilan looked over and saw that one of the two bags was filled with rice and the other was filled with flour, each weighing about ten pounds.
There were at least thirty eggs and a piece of brown sugar in the basket.
In those days, fine grains like rice and flour were hard currency and very rare. Eggs and brown sugar were even harder to buy even if you had money and tickets.
When Wu Guilan saw these things, she slapped her thigh and said, "Why did Lu Ping just put down the things and run away?
My second brother and his wife are really something. They brought so many things here that I'm afraid they have emptied the family's savings. ”
"Jiaojiao, I'll send these things back to your uncle and aunt first."
As Wu Guilan spoke, she picked up the things and was about to send them back to the second room.
Chen Jiao quickly stopped her, "Mom, every time Uncle and Aunt sent something over, you sent it back. If it happens too often, it will make our family seem unkind."
"Now that Zhengxu has woken up, these things were sent by his second uncle and second aunt to nourish Zhengxu's body, so let's keep them.
When I go to the city in two days, I will buy two more pounds of meat and send a piece to my second uncle's family, and then secretly give them some money. Relatives are relatives, and we are close only when we interact with each other. ”
Wu Guilan felt that what Chen Jiao said made sense.
He stopped and said, "Jiaojiao, you are really thoughtful. I will accept these things first, and we will prepare some gifts to return to your uncle and aunt in a few days."
The other side.
Zhang Biying ran back home with saliva all over her body. Lu Wenbai was smoking a pipe, frowning, pretending to be clueless, and looked her up and down.
"How did it become like this? Didn't it work?"
Zhang Biying took a deep breath, looking angry, "What success? Chen Jiao, that ungrateful girl.
Not only did she refuse to agree, she also took a carrying pole and drove me out with that whore Wu Guilan. She also chased me to the big sunbath on purpose and told the whole thing in front of so many people, causing them to spit on me! ”
Zhang Biying came to her senses and remembered something. She looked at Lu Wenbo and asked, "You didn't go to work today?"
"Ahem..." Lu Wenbo coughed awkwardly twice, then glared at Zhang Biying fiercely, "Why do you, a woman, have to control whether I go to work or not?"
"Where's Lu Kai? Didn't that brat go to Old Four's house with you? Where is he now?"
When Zhang Biying mentioned this, her attention was instantly diverted, and she cursed angrily: "That useless stinky boy followed him and didn't even dare to enter the door of Shen Jiao's house.
When he saw me being beaten, he ran away without a trace! ”
Lu Kai, who had already run to the door of his house, immediately shrank his neck when he heard his mother's words, and wanted to sneak away without being discovered.
But at this time, his brother Lu Wu's voice came from behind him, "Xiao Kai, what are you doing hiding at the door? Why don't you go into the house?"
"You little bastard, how dare you come back!" Zhang Biying in the yard heard the voice, immediately took off her straw sandals and rushed out angrily.
Lu Wu wanted to hold Lu Kai, but failed, and Lu Kai ran away without a trace.
Zhang Biying angrily held up her straw sandals and was about to chase after him.
Lu Wu said helplessly: "Mom, stop chasing Xiao Kai. I have something important to discuss with you."
Zhang Biying finally put her straw sandals back on her feet.
Lu Wu pulled his mother back to the yard and said, "Mom and Dad, Zhengxu is awake."
His words immediately stunned Lu Wenbo and Zhang Biying.
Lu Wu felt that it was natural for his parents to be shocked, and continued, "When I came back just now, I heard people in the village say that Lu Ping sent a lot of things to Fourth Aunt.
I heard it was ten kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of noodles, thirty eggs, and one kilogram of brown sugar. Should we send something over there as well?
Although Zhengxu is back now, he was an officer in the army before, and his old connections are still there. If anything happens in our family in the future, we can only count on him to use his connections for help. ”
After Lu Wu finished speaking, Lu Wenbai and Zhang Biying looked at each other and lowered their heads.
If what happened this morning hadn't happened, they could still shamelessly bring something to the door to ease the relationship, but now...
After Lu Wu got married, he applied for a piece of land from the production team, built two rooms and lived alone.
In addition, his wife was about to give birth these days, so he took a leave of absence and stayed at home with his wife. He did not go to work and did not know what was happening outside.
At this time, seeing that Lu Wenbai and Zhang Biying had strange expressions, I realized that there might be a problem.
"Mom and Dad, didn't you do anything to offend Fourth Aunt's family again?"
Zhang Biying's face twitched.
Lu Wenbai's eyes straightened and he glared at Lu Wu, "What's the problem? Even if Lu Zhengxu becomes a high-ranking official, I am still his uncle. How can he not recognize me?
Mom, please prepare some things quickly, and let’s go see Zhengxu. ”
Zhang Biying knew that it was necessary to go see Lu Zhengxu, so she asked cautiously, "Shall we also take ten kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of noodles, thirty eggs, and one kilogram of brown sugar?"
As soon as she said this, Lu Wenbo's eyes almost popped out.
"Are you a bitch? It's his business that his second son gets so much. Our family is not that rich. How can you live like this?
Take 20 kilograms of cornmeal, the kind that has been ground only once. ”
Hearing what he said, Lu Wu's face twitched. How could he present this?
Lu Wenbai himself may have realized that this amount of food was too shabby, so he frowned and said, "Add another ten kilograms of dried sweet potatoes, no more.
When you're ready, we'll go together. ”
Lu Wu knows his parents well. They want to take advantage of them in every way possible and don't want to put in any effort.
He thought about it and decided to go back and discuss it with his wife, and then get some other things for himself.
When Lu Wu returned home, his wife Lin Xiaohui had just returned from a walk outside and listened to what he had said.
He sighed and said, "I advise you not to go and make yourself miserable. Even if you want to go, don't go with your parents. You don't even know what they did. It's really embarrassing."
Lin Xiaohui just went out and found out that her mother-in-law took her brother-in-law to her fourth aunt's house to propose marriage, but was chased and beaten by her fourth aunt and Jiaojiao and taken to the big sunbath.
She felt embarrassed when she heard it, so she hurried back.
Lu Wu: ...
"Forget it. When Zhengxu was in the most difficult time, his parents didn't help, and neither did we. Even if it weren't for his parents, we really don't have the face to visit them." Lu Wu said with a sigh.
He had originally thought that after he had a son, he would see if he could rely on Lu Zhengxu's old connections to help him join the army, so he wanted to shamelessly ease the relationship.
But now...
Although he has been influenced by this since childhood, he is not as thick-skinned as his parents and cannot afford to embarrass himself!
