In winter, some people who were free gathered in the village to warm themselves by the fire in groups of three or five. When they saw Tao Xing's family coming out of the village, everyone felt strange.
But there are also some smart ones.
For example, Mrs. Feng said: "Old Seven is back, and he and Tao Xing are engaged."
"Isn't this to discuss marriage?"
"But the seventh brother has gone to college. How can Lanlan still be interested in Tao Xing, a girl from the village? I don't think she would be interested."
As expected, they are sworn enemies. Even without meeting each other, Old Mrs. Feng can guess what Lanlan is thinking.
When Chen Wu, Xu Yin and others went there, there were already many people in the Lu family.
It's lively.
When Old Mrs. Lu saw Tao Xing's family coming to her house, she frowned.
On the other hand, the seventh brother was quite enthusiastic: "Uncle, aunt, please sit down. I'll go get you some water."
The man Lu Xuan called Uncle Lao Shuan looked like a straightforward person: "No need. I came to ask you something today."
Very loud.
After all, there was a house where she lived. Lu Xuan and Xu Yin squeezed out a space for her so that she could see everything clearly.
Old Mrs. Lu frowned. Lao Shuan's family was very poor, and she looked down on them. Now he still had this attitude: "How can you talk like that? Are you arguing?"
"When will the marriage between your son and my daughter be finalized? Do you want to go back on your word?"
Old Mrs. Lu really wanted to regret it.
Her son was chosen by the whole village to go to college. In the future, he will be assigned a job and may even become an official. If her son was still in the village, it would be fine for Tao Xing, but people are different now. How can she be worthy of her son?
"Now that you bring it up..."
"Mom, don't talk nonsense." Before Mrs. Lu could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lu Laoqi.
Although he was young, he looked at Tao Xing's family with great seriousness and said, "Uncle, aunt, Tao Xing and I were already engaged before I went to school. We both signed a marriage contract, but I'm not yet twenty. In our country, men must be twenty and women must be eighteen to get married."
"I'm not yet twenty, and Tao Xing is not yet eighteen, so we can't get a marriage certificate."
Uncle Lao Shuan shook his head and waved his big, thick hand. "What's the point of having a certificate? You can just hold a wedding banquet at home. There are many wedding banquets in our village that don't have a certificate. Your sixth brother is not old enough! How did he get married?"
This is quite true. Some people in Laoya Village don’t even consider getting a marriage certificate. They just hold a banquet, invite relatives and friends, and with everyone witnessing, they’re married.
But Lu Xuan is old enough, and Chen Wu is also old enough, and they have obtained a marriage certificate.
Others in the village echoed this, "That's how everyone comes here. We can't let Taoxing wait for you for years, right?"
"That's right."
…
There are gossipers all around, and they all offer their opinions from time to time.
Chen Wu discovered that Old Seven was not influenced by the villagers at all: "Everyone has their reasons, but I'm still in college, and it's not good to openly disobey the law."
"Then why should I go to university? How can I be worthy of the people who elected me and the country who nurtured me?"
Lu Laoqi said righteously: "However, I am not going to let Tao Xing wait for me in vain. I have already studied for half a year, and there is still a year and a half left. When I graduate, Tao Xing and I will get married."
As he spoke, Lao Qi looked at Tao Xing and said, "Taoxing, can you think about it?"
"The government now recommends delaying marriage. Through my reading and writing, I've learned that marrying too early isn't good, and neither is having children too early, as it can harm your health... We should wait until we're both mentally and physically mature before getting married and managing our own family."
It's true, what Lao Qi said was well-reasoned and not nonsense, it was quite scientific. Shen Wu agreed with what he said from the bottom of her heart, but she also felt that there was something strange about it.
Chen Wu thought so, not to mention Tao Xing, who was only seventeen years old and the same age as Lao Qi, and nodded with a red face.
"Mom and Dad, I think what Brother Lu Ming said makes sense. We should wait a little longer. I still want to stay at home for a few more years..."
When Chen Wu came, she was looking for the big melon.
However, it was not as big as imagined. His daughter was willing to get married later, and what Lu Laoqi said was reasonable and well-founded. Uncle Lao Shuan was no match for the teenage Lu Laoqi except for his loud voice.
In the end, everyone dispersed, gossiping in low voices.
Chen Wu left late.
Lu Xuan checked the door lock of the room where they lived. There were signs of prying on it, and he frowned slightly.
Before he could find anyone, Li Ping explained, "It was your eldest brother who wanted to live in your room, but I stopped him from going in."
"Your eldest brother's brain was caught in the door."
Lu Xuan put down the lock with a sullen face, but since Li Ping had already said it, he didn't pursue the matter any further.
Li Ping smiled awkwardly and said, "It's true, we don't have enough space in our house. We have three daughters, and I'm pregnant with another one..."
"Didn't it just take less than half a year for the worm to be born?" Shen Wu was surprised.
Li Ping frowned, "We call it Yinlong."
Shen Wu...
She glanced at Xu Yin who was standing not far away. When Xu Yin heard her words, she couldn't help laughing.
Chen Wu was a little annoyed. When the name of Li Ping's youngest daughter came out, she and Xu Yin were shocked. They were hoping that the son their sister would bring would be a dragon, but it turned out to be a bug. The two of them kept nagging at the son who had not yet appeared, and felt that it was really unlucky for the daughter to be born in her belly.
She never mentioned this name in front of others on weekdays, whether it was Yinlong or Yinchong. The first time she said it was to Li Ping herself.
Li Ping emphasized that her third daughter was named Yinlong.
