Chapter 117 Arrival and shock
The tractor stopped near the dormitory of the steel factory.
If it drove closer, it would run into acquaintances in the factory. It would be bad to be seen by them.
On weekdays, if someone had something to do, they would bring some things to Uncle Mao for help, but that was all done in private.
Lu Weiguo and Shi Tingyu had more stuff, so Uncle Mao didn't take the quilt away from them. He just said, "Your parents know you're coming back today, so they asked for leave from the factory. It's not convenient for you to carry your things. I'll take this quilt back to the factory and give it to your eldest brother, who will bring it back after work. It's not convenient for me to deliver it to you now."
Lu Weiguo looked at him as if he understood, then took out the fried small yellow croaker from the canvas bag and handed it to Uncle Mao, "Uncle Mao, this was fried by my wife, and we took it to eat on the train. Don't dislike it, take it back and let your grandson try it."
Uncle Mao's grandson is five years old, and he is very greedy.
Uncle Mao refused again and again, "How can I do that? This is a delicious fried food. You should leave it for your parents to taste."
After the last round of refusing, Uncle Mao finally took the food.
At this time, supplies were scarce, and this fried small yellow croaker was a good thing. Besides, seeing that Lu Weiguo and his wife were both honest people, he would not dislike it at all.
Seeing Uncle Mao driving away with the tractor, Shi Tingyu quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lu Weiguo was there. She was most afraid of such greetings and refusing.
Lu Weiguo followed his memory and went to the dormitory of the steel factory.
At the gate of the dormitory yard, he met some old neighbors, many of whom were retired elderly people from the steel factory.
He called her grandma and introduced his wife, which attracted a burst of exclamations from the neighbors.
"Weiguo, your wife is so beautiful. Look at her. You are so lucky."
"I was wondering why you were not satisfied with the one I introduced to you before. It turns out that you were waiting for such a beautiful wife."
Lu Weiguo knew that these people had no bad intentions, but they just liked to chat with him, especially when he had not been home for a long time, they would be more enthusiastic when they saw him.
These people basically watched him grow up, so they were immune to his appearance and made jokes about him without any ambiguity.
Maybe it was because of the noise here, a woman in her fifties came out of the corridor. She was wearing a gray-blue cotton jacket, black pants, and a gray-white apron tied around her waist. Her hair was short and not blown. She
looked very capable.
When the middle-aged woman saw Lu Weiguo and Shi Tingyu, she ran over with a cry of "ouch". She looked at Shi Tingyu with shock and disbelief. After a long while, she reacted and patted Lu Weiguo's arm, "Weiguo, this is your wife, why don't you come in?"
The neighbors saw it and made way for her.
The second son of the old Lu family has not been home for such a long time, he must be missing home.
Lu's mother was not afraid of dogs either. Seeing Shi Tingyu holding the leash, she quickly wanted to take over, "Xiaoyu, right? You must be tired from the car ride. You can give the dog to mom. Mom will hold the leash."
Seeing Lu's mother so enthusiastic, Shi Tingyu glanced at Lu Weiguo, who smiled and nodded at her. She then gave the leash to Lu's mother and said, "Thank you, mom."
Shi Tingyu's voice was clear, but not cold. , this call of "Mom" made Lu's mother so happy that the wrinkles on her face opened up with a smile, "Why thank you, we are all family."
Shi Tingyu looked at the many bags in her husband's hands with empty hands, and reached out to help him. Before Lu Weiguo could refuse, Lu's mother spoke up: "It's okay, just let him take it, such a big man won't be tired with these things."
Lu Weiguo: ...
This is really his biological mother.
Lu's house is on the second floor, it is a two-bedroom apartment. When they reached the entrance of the staircase, Lu's mother shouted: "Old Lu! Old Lu! Open the door quickly, our son and his daughter-in-law are here!"
Shi Tingyu heard the sound of a door opening, and a man in his fifties walked down the stairs.
The man was at least 1.8 meters tall, with a slightly bent back, but even so, he still looked very tall. The man
who came was none other than Father Lu.
Lu Weiguo called him Dad.
Father Lu nodded in response, looking expectantly at Shi Tingyu.
The corridor was dim, and Father Lu couldn't see Shi Tingyu's face clearly for a moment, but he knew that the person was his daughter-in-law.
Shi Tingyu followed suit and called him Dad.
Father Lu said "Eh", his tone was full of joy, and his voice was much louder than when he just responded to Lu Weiguo.
When everyone entered the house, Shi Tingyu took off her hat, and her pretty little face appeared in front of the two elders without any cover.
Father and Mother Lu had met their parents-in-law before. Their parents-in-law were really good-looking. They had thought that their daughter-in-law might be very pretty, but they had never thought that she would be this pretty.
They didn’t know any adjectives, they just thought she was beautiful, like a fairy.
Shi Tingyu also saw Father Lu’s appearance clearly. He really looked like Lu Weiguo, especially his fierce eyebrows and eyes.
But after spending a long time with Lu Weiguo, she got used to seeing Father Lu’s face.
Father Lu was obviously dressed up today. He was afraid that his face would scare his younger daughter-in-law. Just look at the eldest daughter-in-law. She has been married to the eldest son for nearly ten years, but she is still a little scared when she sees him. Mother
Lu laughed at him for thinking too much. According to her, her daughter-in-law is not afraid of her younger son’s face, so how could she be afraid of an old man’s face?
That's definitely not possible.
Seeing Shi Tingyu looking normal, Lu's mother couldn't help but look at Lu's father with pride.
See, she said her daughter-in-law wouldn't be afraid.
Lu's father picked up Lu Weiguo's luggage on the ground and moved it to the south room.
Lu Weiguo hurriedly said, "Dad, just put the things in the north room. Isn't this the room you've been living in?"
Lu's father said, "Your wife is used to living in Nanjing. It's cold here and there is no kang in the upstairs. It's warmer to sleep in the south room. Your mother and I will live in the north room."
But in the end, Lu Weiguo stopped her, "Isn't there a stove in the main room? Just put it in the north room, and fill a thermos with water so it won't be cold at night."
Shi Tingyu also said, "Yes, Mom and Dad, I'm in good health and I've been exercising. I'm not afraid of the cold. You should live in the south room."
They would only live here for a few days. They would go to the village later. There would be kangs there, so she could still hold on for a few days.
In the end, the strong Lu Weiguo could not be defeated, and the roof was replaced.
The north room has a bed, a wardrobe and a table. It is simple but very clean.
Shi Tingyu sat down on the bed and touched the quilt. It felt soft and looked like a new quilt.
Lu Weiguo explained, "My parents made this quilt for us after they knew we were married. They will be used when we come back to live here during the Chinese New Year."
Only at this moment did Shi Tingyu feel relaxed. In fact, she was a little nervous when she got on the tractor.
After all, it was her first time meeting the man's parents. Now that she had seen the attitude of Lu's father and mother, no matter whether this enthusiastic attitude was temporary or long-term, at least she was relaxed at this moment.
And the look on her face from Lu's father and mother seemed to indicate that they really liked her.
Thinking about how they were helping their parents who were sent down to the countryside to prepare cotton-padded clothes, she felt warm in her heart.
