Chapter 206: Mother Lu is shocked
After everything was done, Mother Lu finally had the heart to look at the yard.
Seeing the flowers planted by the wall, Mother Lu smiled. Although she looked carefree, there was no woman who didn't like flowers. It was just that their family lived in the family building in the factory, and there was no yard, let alone planting flowers.
After taking another look at the vegetables in the yard, Mother Lu couldn't help but praise: "You know what, my daughter-in-law is amazing. She takes care of the vegetable garden so well. She's no worse than the old hands in the village."
Lu Weiguo's eyes flashed, and he followed her words and said: "Yes, she takes care of it very carefully on weekdays."
Mother Lu looked at him and said, "In the early years, I was worried that you couldn't get married. I didn't expect you to find the best one for me. If you weren't my son, I couldn't stand it."
Lu Weiguo: ...
This is really his biological mother.
"Although I look fierce, I can care for people."
Mother Lu laughed and scolded him for being shameless, then nodded and said, "You are just like your father in this way, you are presentable."
She looked at other places and found that her younger son took better care of this place than she thought.
Mother Lu asked the neighbors and found out that they all had good relationships. So she went to visit them with a bag of roasted peanuts.
Since she was here, she had to go around and build relationships with the neighbors so that they would pay more attention to Xiaoyu when Weiguo was on a mission.
Sister Zhang was also a straightforward person. Even her hairstyle was a bit like Mother Lu's. The two of them hit it off right away.
In addition, the praise of little Zhang Damao by Auntie made Mother Lu laugh.
Mother Lu was quite proud. You see, her daughter-in-law is amazing. Neighbors and children can't stop praising her.
Sister Zhang was worried about Shi Tingyu.
As someone who had experienced it, she knew too well the difficulties of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law getting along.
Now seeing Mother Lu like this, she was very happy for Shi Tingyu. Just by the way that
Mother Lu kept praising my daughter-in-law, you could tell how much she liked Shi Tingyu.
That night, Mother Shi and Father Shi came to the family compound.
It was the first time that the in-laws came, so they had to come and see.
But this time, Mother Shi and Father Shi were accompanied by two straight-looking soldiers.
Mother Lu was startled, and she quietly pulled Mother Shi aside to talk.
"In-laws, who are those two people?"
Mother Shi just said that they were there to protect her and Old Shi.
Mother Lu heard this and knew that something must be going on, but she also knew that some things needed to be kept secret, so she didn't ask any more questions.
You can tell from the look of it that since the soldiers were dispatched for safety, it must be something serious.
In the evening, the seven of them had a lively and sumptuous dinner together.
Before leaving, Mother Shi invited her to come home on Sunday to take a look.
It is said that since the two families got married, Lu's mother has never been to her daughter-in-law's house.
During the weekdays, Lu's mother was not idle. She took advantage of her eloquence and quickly got into the military family of the family compound.
She heard a lot of news.
For example, from Shi Tingyu, Aunt Lu, Lu Wenchan and Chen Wenting.
In short, she heard a lot of good and bad news.
Lu's mother smiled on the surface, but in her heart she had already scolded the mother and daughter of the Lu family and Chen Wenting.
What kind of people are they? It's because she was not there. If she was there, she would have gone to their door and made a scene, which would scare them.
Let's see if they dare to treat their daughter-in-law like this.
After Lu's mother went back, she looked at Shi Tingyu who was painting, her eyes full of pity.
What a good child, but she had to endure the bullying of these people.
They were bullying her because she was young and her elders were not around. If her family lived in the village, she would definitely slap anyone who dared to bully her.
Shi Tingyu has been practicing her brushwork these days, and her paintings are big and small. Seeing that Lu's mother was staring at her, she thought that Lu's mother was curious, so she said, "Mom, how about I draw a picture for you?"
Lu's mother came back to her senses and was very excited, "You can draw me?" "
Of course you can."
Lu's mother was a little tempted, but she hesitated and said, "Will it tire you out?"
"No, I'll just sit here and practice my hands. Drawing other things is also drawing, it's all the same."
Lu's mother was relieved now, and she looked expectant, "Xiaoyu, will the painting be colorful later? Should I change into brighter clothes?"
Lu's mother's mood at this time was the same as when she was going to take a photo, and even more important than taking a photo.
She heard that her daughter-in-law's painting is worth a lot of money, and she has to buy tickets to see her paintings when she is abroad. How great a skill it is. It
is not too much to attach importance to it.
Shi Tingyu looked at Lu's mother's clothes, which were clean and tidy, so there was no need to change them.
Lu's mother was a person who listened to Shi Tingyu's advice. She listened to whatever Shi Tingyu said. She
sat upright in front of Shi Tingyu's drawing board.
Seeing this, Shi Tingyu said, "Mom, relax, it's okay, do whatever makes you comfortable."
Lu's mother smiled and thought about her most comfortable posture, which was definitely sitting cross-legged on the kang.
However, thinking about her daughter-in-law's fashionable paintings, it would be a bit ugly to paint her as an old lady with her legs crossed, so she put down her slightly raised legs. She
chose a comfortable sitting posture.
Shi Tingyu's skills no longer required line drafts.
He started painting after deciding on a few points.
But Lu's mother was a person of propriety. After painting for a while, she asked Shi Tingyu to get up and stretch her body.
Shi Tingyu obeyed and got up to stretch a few times.
Lu's mother came to the drawing board and looked at it. She couldn't see anything. On the small drawing paper, there were only some blocks of color.
But she had a filter for her daughter-in-law and didn't think the painting was bad at all.
In one afternoon, Shi Tingyu finished the portrait of Lu's mother.
She used the flower wall in her own yard as the background for the painting of Lu's mother.
Even though there are no flowers in winter, the bulging buds on the vines make people happy to look at.
When Lu's mother saw the painting, she was stunned.
You can tell it's her in the painting, but she thinks it looks better than herself. The painting is really good.
"Xiaoyu, can I take this painting back when Mom comes back? Show it to your dad and ask him to frame it and hang it on our wall."
"Of course." Shi Tingyu looked at the canvas and said, "When the painting is completely done in two days, I'll ask Weiguo to make a frame out of wood and I'll frame it for you."
Lu's mother was surprised and nodded repeatedly. If she took this painting back, her neighbors would be so jealous.
It's not more advanced and beautiful than the photos they show off.
When Lu Weiguo came back in the evening, he received a wave of bragging from his mother.
Lu Weiguo glanced at Shi Tingyu. She had never drawn a picture for him.
But as a mature man, he couldn't show it. However
, Shi Tingyu's shock to Lu's mother was not over yet.
The next day, the loud speaker in the family compound sounded, with Shi Tingyu's remittance slip and mail.
Shi Tingyu knew that it should be the collector's edition of the comic book that was published. When
the things were taken home, Lu's mother saw the number on the remittance slip, and her hands shook a little.
She was worried that she had read it wrong.
After confirming it again and again, Lu's mother was completely shocked.
Good guy, her daughter-in-law's salary was enough for her and Weiguo's father to go without food and drink for more than three years.
