Ruchuan was relieved to see that his young wife was correct. He didn't know whether she understood or not, so he explained it in such a hurry.
Originally, he wanted to say a few more words, but since his wife was avoiding him, he could only hold back. But his parents came that night. After they sent Su Su out in a friendly manner, his father asked coldly, "Is what is being said outside true? If you are not well, let's go to the hospital. If you really can't be cured, don't delay Xiao Su."
"..." Ruichuan felt that it was so unfair. His parts were fine, so why did they break?
"Speak up, if you are embarrassed to tell Su Su, I will go." Lu's mother and father heard some rumors outside and rushed over to tell their son. They were afraid of delaying the girl, after all, they were not a real couple yet. So they hurried over to ask, and if it really didn't work out, they would separate first, and then the girl could get married.
They are an honest family and would not do anything to harm a girl's life.
Chuan was so frightened that he immediately held his mother's hand and said, "I'm fine, these are just rumors."
"But you didn't let us see your wounds, and you didn't tell us where they were. How could we not think too much about it?" Luo's mother believed her son's words and couldn't help but pat him with a frown.
Chuan looked at his injured area silently, then said, "Mom, why don't you go out?"
After a moment's hesitation, Lu's mother went out. However, she said as she walked, "Why are you hiding here? Your mother has seen everything since she gave birth to you."
"Okay, okay, get out now." Father Lu asked Mother Lu to go out, then watched his son take off his pants and said, "It's hard to say where this is, it must be the leg."
Father Lu took a look and realized that he was almost going to lose his eldest son's eldest grandson. He took out a dry cigarette and was about to smoke it, but thinking that his son would not be happy, he had to give up and said, "After you finish your mission, be careful. You have a daughter-in-law at home. She is a woman who will rely on you for her whole life."
"I see."
Li Chuan awkwardly agreed while holding up his trousers, saying, "Talk to mom so she doesn't worry about it, and don't mention it to Su Su, so she doesn't worry too much."
"Got it." Mr. Lu went out and took his wife back home.
Su Su was helping Lu Shan with his "review", but it was just an excuse. Lu Shan was just reading and not studying. When he got home, he rubbed his hands and asked, "What did they come to see you for?"
"It's okay, just ask about my injuries."
"Oh." In fact, she also thought of it. Now, Ruichuan is almost suspected of being an inhuman man in the village. Rui's father and mother will definitely come to question him.
She thought that they had not had dinner yet, so she lit the fire and tried to make some soup dumplings.
She had made it before, but it was her first time using a large pot, so she was a bit flustered. She forgot to light the fire, and then forgot to add water. After she finally heated up the oil and added water, she realized that she had forgotten to add the pepper powder. She couldn't help but scratch her head and said, "I'm really stupid."
"No rush, it's the same if you put it later." Ruichuan couldn't sit down to help light the fire and could only stand aside and watch. He really wanted to do it all for her.
But seeing how hard she studies is really touching. I always think it's good to have such a wife. Even if she is stupid, she is so supportive of him. It's still good to live a hard-working life.
Finally, Susu made the dumpling soup. Although it didn’t look good, it still tasted good.
In the countryside, people emphasize eating until they are full. In addition, Ruichuan thought that his wife deserved praise for being able to cook this meal. However, he was not good at talking and could only express himself through actions, so he ate two big bowls in one breath.
That was a big bowl, and when they divided it, they only got two bowls in total. After all, that was a poor era, and in this small mountain village, a family that had more than ten bowls and plates was considered well off.
Actually, Su Su had wanted to buy it a long time ago, but there were no individual merchants in the commune, so she had to rely on the public sales cooperative. And most of the things there required tickets, so even if she had a lot of tickets, she couldn't be too ostentatious for the time being, lest someone would say she didn't know how to live. This was still good, otherwise it would be bad if it brought bad luck to Lu Chuan.
After the two of them finished their meal, Su Su thought for a while and said, "It's almost the 15th of the lunar year now. I want the three brothers, Lu Hai, to go to the commune and sell their shoes to save some money for tuition and other miscellaneous fees. Besides, my parents won't have much money left after organizing the wedding. How about I give the base money to them and the money they save?" She knew that the Lu family was short of money, especially since Lu Hai was going to get married, and Lu Shan and Lu Jiang needed money for school. But Lu Mu and Lu Fu, the two old people, would not ask them for money. Although they didn't split up the family, they couldn't bring themselves to do so.
The reason why she brought back so many shoes was to help the family save some money.
Even if you save 50 cents for a pair of shoes, that's still more than 20 yuan for more than 50 pairs, and some good pairs can be saved for one yuan, so more than 30 yuan is enough for the expenses of the old couple and three boys.
Ruchuan's eyes lit up. He knew that he wanted to give some financial aid to his parents this time. However, they had already agreed on how much and when to give it. Ruchuan's father would not ask for more. Even if he went out to borrow money, he probably would not give it to his son who had already started a family.
I was worried at first, but my eyes lit up when I heard what Su Su said, and then I said, "You're right, but it's too late today, let's call them over tomorrow."
"Okay." Su Su cleaned the table, then boiled some water for the two of them to wash and get into bed. This time the bed was warm, and his wife was very clean, so everything smelled good. Lu Chuan slept very comfortably, and when he woke up the next morning, he felt that his injuries had mostly healed.
People are like this, sometimes the body will change with the change of mood. Now Ruichuan is full of energy, even if he is injured, he still wants to do something to help them.
Su Su called the entire Lu family to the backyard and told them about her money-saving plan.
Father Lu was very satisfied with what he heard, but he said, "Don't make any distinctions between your family and mine. Just divide the shoes after you save the money."
Chuan said: "No need."
Su Su knew that she was counting on him not to give in, so she smiled and said, "Lu Chuan and I don't have much to spend and we have some money. Besides, we borrowed money to bring the goods back this time and have no money for travel expenses. And I can't go to the commune to take care of Lu Chuan, so I can't take the money from their sales. Besides, we don't know how much they can save, so if they don't save any money, just don't scold me."
"Since we've got the shoes back now, we might as well sell them and try. Even if there's a loss, it's okay." Lu's mother was open-minded. The main thing was that her daughter-in-law had good intentions and was thinking about their family.
Moreover, she bought shoes for the whole family. They were very comfortable to wear. It was hard for her to miss home.
