Zhao Jianghong called to apologize, but Lu Yan did not take his anger out on him. He just reminded him coldly, "If you like your current wife, don't let her suffer any grievances."
"Yes, I understand what you said." Zhao Jianghong smiled bitterly. "I'm newly married now, and I also want to let the world know so that I can live an ordinary and stable life."
"At the beginning of next month, I will go to Jiaodao and invite some old friends to have a meal so that everyone can meet Mingxiu. Brother Lu, please give us some face and bring your sister-in-law with you."
"My family has prepared a lot of Dacron fabrics to make two sets of clothes for your wife."
"Do you want me to give you clothes for my wife?" Brother Lu said he didn't want it. As a husband, he should buy the clothes for his wife.
"Send cotton cloth, buy some clothes for your son, okay?"
"Children grow up fast, we should make more clothes."
Lu Yan agreed, "Okay."
Lu Yan told Qin Rou about this, Qin Rou nodded and agreed, "It's good to meet your friend."
"Free lunch, take your son out for a feast."
"How can it be called a feast? He has caused so many troubles for no reason, he deserves it!" Lu Yan hugged his wife's shoulders, "Don't worry too much about Lao Zhao, he is a liar, his brain has not been very good since he was a child, his father often buys him walnuts to supplement his brain, I went to his house to play, I saw the brother and sister using the door to pick walnuts."
"Think about it, if you eat a walnut that has been hit by a door, you won't be smart even if you think you are."
"I often feel that his head has been hit by a door."
Qin Rou looked at him with a smile and joked, "Lu Yan, just tell the truth to your wife, were you also greedy when you were a child?"
"People used a door to hit walnuts, didn't you follow suit to eat and drink?"
Lu Yan: "..."
Lu Yan raised his hand and pinched her face, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you implying something?"
"I'm just expressing a doubt, just like your two sons, making a sound that wants to ask 'why'."
"Then I won't tell you, you think about it yourself."
Qin Rou's eyes smiled into two crescent moons, and she was afraid that this man was really angry with her, so she took the initiative to kiss him.
"One kiss is not enough, two kisses will show your attitude of admitting your mistake."
"It's so sticky, one kiss is good enough."
"Do you think sharks will be easily satisfied?"
"Catfish, or shark? People say that I drew a bighead carp. Teacher Huang next door likes to eat chopped pepper fish head and said that the bighead carp I drew looks very appetizing."
"She said that after buying the Little Shark Baby Picture Book for her child, her family's chopped pepper fish head tastes better."
"When Captain Zhang saw that I drew a baby shark picture book for the child to celebrate his second birthday, he also drew a baby earthworm picture book for Dun Dun, which shocked Teacher Huang and said that the earthworm he drew looked more like a snake than a sea snake."
Lu Yan: "...the couple next door are weird."
At the parents-in-law's house, the young couple huddled together, talking to each other in their ears, and rubbing their ears together. When two people are together, they always have a lot to say.
At this time, the two clingy little kids were taken by their grandpa and grandma to call grandpa everywhere.
It's a rare leisurely life without kids.
The two didn't have to take care of the children. Lu Yan took Qin Rou out and walked around the old city. There are many old Western-style buildings left in the old city. They walked and stopped and took a lot of photos.
Lu Yan took his wife to see the place where he had studied.
"Come visit your hometown anytime." He smiled and looked at Qin Rou, who was walking beside him in a white shirt and blue skirt. Although it was a cloudy day, when she looked up at him, her beautiful fox eyes narrowed slightly, like a little fox enjoying herself. "
I don't have any good memories of my hometown." Qin Rou's childhood experience was not good. Her biological father died early, her mother remarried, and she lived under her stepfather.
Lu Yan grabbed her hand and said in a steady voice, "Then don't go."
"Well." Qin Rou smiled, she looked into the man's eyes and said seriously, "Lu Yan, I've been very happy since I married you."
Maybe it was because the weather was just right today, the sea breeze was particularly comfortable, Qin Rou saw many old buildings, and was also reminded of the past, and couldn't help but want to say a few touching words: "The memories of being with you are all very beautiful."
They didn't say too many touching love words, and people like Lu Ge wouldn't say I love you every day, but she just felt a kind of "peace of mind" from him.
With him by her side, she was not afraid of anything.
Lu Yan smiled after hearing her words, raised his eyebrows and said: "How can I make you unhappy after marrying you, Brother Lu?"
"Brother Lu, you look so proud that I want to pour some cold water on you."
Lu Yan said carelessly: "You pour cold water on me, my heart will be warm and will not be cooled."
"What you said is so greasy, so greasy."
Lu Yan blinked and said: "Don't you like to put more oil when cooking?"
Qin Rou: "..." Brother Lu, we can't continue this conversation.
"Let's go, let's go back."
The couple was sticky and gluey here. Without the children around, they could be as sticky and greasy as they wanted, and they could say anything they wanted. Over there, the grandparents were taking care of their two little grandchildren. The grandson Xia Mingxi was fine, he was grown up and went out to play with his old friends, but they were taking care of the two little twins, who were three years old and full of energy, and they were making the grandparents very tired.
The two brothers kept chattering: "Grandma, what's this?"
"Why why?"
"Grandpa, why do you want to eat carrot skins?"
...
Oh, they were so confused by all the questions.
The old Lu couple looked at each other worriedly, and they both agreed that their children were cutest when they couldn't talk.
Lu Zongyi went home exhausted, and saw his youngest son and his wife sitting on the sofa listening to old records. The son sat awkwardly, resting his head on his wife's lap.
There was also a big bowl of watermelon cut into small cubes next to them. The watermelon juice was a beautiful tender red, and the air was filled with the fragrance of watermelon.
Comrade Lao Lu was furious when he saw this scene. He criticized sternly, "You are a big man, lying on your wife, how can you behave?"
"Where is your military appearance and military discipline?"
Lu Yan said calmly, "Throw it away."
He sat up, stuck a piece of watermelon with a thin bamboo stick and fed it to his wife's mouth. Qin Rou bit it into her mouth helplessly.
Lao Lu blew his beard and glared.
"Are you back to honor your parents? Or are you back to enjoy yourself?"
"Isn't this what a vacation is like, Comrade Lao Lu?" Lu Yan put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said heartlessly.
Qin Rou: "..."
Is this the "quarrels", "pickiness" and "dislike" that you always have to face when you come to your parents-in-law's house?
Jiang Ping, who was passing by, said, "Just let them be. This father and son are like this."
Qin Rou did not get involved in these things. She followed her mother-in-law Jiang Ping to the kitchen. The two little kids followed their grandmother and mother happily. Zhou Zhou and Dumpling became little cats: "You want to eat cakes."
"Eat cakes."
"Grandma will make cakes for you."
"You want sesame!"
...
Now only Lu Zongyi and Lu Yan, father and son, were left in the hall. Comrade Lu found that he really couldn't argue with this unlucky son. He was really going to piss him off.
He came back to piss off his father, you stinky boy.
Lu Zongyi went out for a walk with his hands on his waist in a huff.
There were quite a lot of people watching the excitement in the retirement home, but when they saw Lu Zongyi's appearance, they all started to have doubts in their hearts.
Seeing Lu Zongyi's furious look, Zheng Guang and his wife became curious. He couldn't help but said to his wife Zhou Chunxiang, "What's wrong with old Lu? He was so happy the other day."
"You don't understand this." Zhou Chunxiang raised her eyebrows proudly: "Look at our retirement home, how many sons bring their daughters-in-law home without quarreling? Nowadays, many new daughters-in-law have bad tempers and can't get along with their parents-in-law..." "Was
n't old Xie very angry a few days ago? She told me a lot of faults about her daughter-in-law."
"The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a conflict, and the father-in-law, son and father and son can only be neither human nor human, don't you think? They are exhausted."
Zheng Guang: "I don't think so, right?"
"Why not?"
"I've seen the daughter-in-law in his family. She looks pretty and gentle, speaks nicely and is not impatient. The youngest son of the Lu family is suitable for such a daughter-in-law."
"You are stupid, right? I heard from Lao Wang that the daughter-in-law of the Lu family used to be a hot pepper with a bad temper."
"Ah? She has a bad temper? Lu Yan's temper is not good either?" "
That's right! In front of outsiders, of course they are amicable, but look at what Lu Yan has done behind the scenes. Is he a friendly person? Plus the Qin family... Oh, their family is also a mess, I guess."
"Didn't expect it to be like this?" Zheng Guang found that as a man, he really didn't know much about the ins and outs of the parents in their retirement home.
The situation in the Lu family is very complicated. A powder keg married a hot-tempered girl. Wouldn't the couple fight at home?
Yesterday he was still coveting the twin grandchildren of the Lu family, but now he is not jealous.
He is not blessed with such a good thing.
"This little hot pepper must have had a quarrel with Lu Yan. Lu Yan would not have gone to the hospital to make such a quarrel. After the quarrel, his parents must have some opinions about their young daughter-in-law. You will see."
"Sons and daughters are all debts. Which family is not like this? They were in harmony when they just came home to visit their relatives, but they quarreled after a few days. Isn't it the same with grandson's family? His youngest son went to college and rarely came back twice a year. When he was not back, grandson and his wife missed their youngest son every day. Now that he is back for summer vacation, the father and son were affectionate in the first two days, and in the next few days... Just tell me how many times they quarreled?"
...
Zheng Guang and Zhou Chunxiang were chatting, and they saw Comrade Lao Lu coming back from a walk, still looking very angry. Zheng Guang joked, "Lao Lu? Aren't you happy that your son and daughter-in-law are back with their grandson?"
"How are Jiang Ping and her daughter-in-law getting along?"
Comrade Lao Lu smacked his lips, "Not bad."
The two women left with the children, and the father and son were left staring at each other.
Zhou Chunxiang asked, "Then why are you so angry?"
When this matter was mentioned, Lu Zongyi was so angry that he slapped his thigh and said, "I just can't stand my son being like that!!"
Zheng Guang: "..."
Zhou Chunxiang: "..."
It turns out that you two, father and son, are still having a conflict.
"What happened to him? Lu Yan is almost 30 years old, he should be more mature and sensible than when he was a child."
"What did he do?"
"Could it be about the hospital incident?"
Old Lu: "That's not... Damn it, he should have done the hospital incident a long time ago. Who the hell is spreading these rumors behind my back? My son and daughter-in-law are so clingy all day long, when have they ever been with other people..."
"You're sick, making up these stories."
Zheng Guang and his wife: "..."
"Why can't you stand him?"
Lu Zongyi was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say that he couldn't stand his leisure time, as if he had returned to his happy hometown, showing off in front of his old father. He just didn't like him. "..."
It was okay when he was on Qiongzhou Island before. Lu Yan came back every now and then. Now he was lying on the beach like a salted fish drying in the sun in his parents' house, which made him angry.
"You don't understand because you don't have a son like me." In the end, Lu Zongyi could only speak vaguely and walked away with his head down.
Zheng Guang and Zhou Chunxiang looked at each other and felt that the old Lu family was quite interesting. What happened when his son and daughter-in-law came back with their two little grandsons?
Lu Zongyi and his wife took Zhou Zhou and Xiao Dumpling around the rest home. Many people were attracted by their clothes and saw the cute and playful little water-spraying whales on their chests.
Many women from other families came to the Lu family to ask Qin Rou, wanting to learn how to sew the little water-spraying whales on the front of their clothes.
Zhou Chunxiang followed Mo Jixiang and Yang Yue to the Lu family. Mo Jixiang heard his grandson say that the pattern on the chest of the old Lu family grandson was beautiful, so he asked Yang Yue to come and learn. Later, he heard that the daughter-in-law was new, so he also came to see what the Lu family's daughter-in-law looked like.
Yang Yue was the daughter-in-law of the Ma family. After getting married, she lived with her parents-in-law. The mother-in-law was more powerful, so she didn't have any ideas on weekdays and listened to her mother-in-law.
"What does the pattern on your child's chest look like?"
"My grandson likes it, and I want to make him a set of clothes like this."
Someone asked about the pattern of the clothes, but Qin Rou didn't care. It was just a simple little whale spraying water. If you have some painting skills, you can draw the pattern yourself when you go back. Of course, the specific pattern will definitely be different.
"How old is the child? I'll draw a picture, and you can take it home and copy it..." It's not difficult to embroider a pattern on clothes. Li Qinghua didn't know how to do it at first, but as long as she studies hard and becomes proficient, she will be able to embroider it naturally.
Yang Yue said, "Okay, Xiao Qin, please draw a picture for me, and I will take it back to embroider for my son..."
At this time, Mo Jixiang said quickly, "This is too troublesome. Comrade Xiao Qin, can you embroider one for us yourself to avoid wasting fabric? I'm afraid that my daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is not good, and my grandson will not want it after the embroidery. Isn't it a waste?"
"Could you trouble yourself, young man, and embroider it for our grandson yourself? I see you have a very skillful hand. I really envy the Lu family for having a daughter-in-law like you. You are so beautiful and skillful. My grandson will definitely like the pattern you show."
Mo Jixiang's face was smiling particularly brightly and kindly, but he had a good plan in his mind.
How much trouble would it be to take it back and embroider it yourself?
She knew that young people like this were the most thin-skinned and face-conscious, and didn't know how to refuse. As an older person, she praised her so much, wouldn't this silly young person be immediately overjoyed?
Just scare her a few times and she'll do her job obediently.
This was a method Mo Jixiang learned from the old hands in the unit. When a young person came to the unit, how could they push the heavy and troublesome work to the young person?
This is where this method comes in. First, praise the young man for his youth and potential, fooling the young man’s brain. Then, push all kinds of dirty and tiring work to him, saying that only he can do it and this is training him…
Now the young man immediately feels that he is valued by the old people in the unit, and takes over all the dirty and tiring work. He also thinks that he is “young and promising”, “smarter than the old people”, “these old people have stupid brains and can’t learn new things. Only I am young and can learn”…
Who is stupid?
Whoever does the dirty and tiring work is really stupid!
Mo Jixiang gave his daughter-in-law Yang Yue a look, thinking that this daughter-in-law is stupid, not smart at all, very stupid, and she has not learned a single bit of her intelligence since she came to her house as a daughter-in-law.
If you don’t take advantage of it, you are a fool, why do you have to do it yourself?
"Auntie Mo, I'm sorry. I'll draw a pattern for your family. You can go back and embroider it yourself. It's not a difficult thing." Qin Rou refused immediately. She thought that this precedent should not be set. If she embroidered for the first family, would she help the second family? What about the third family?
Could it be that she came here to visit her relatives and came here specifically to help?
It's too nosy. This kind of trouble that shouldn't be taken on yourself must not be taken on yourself. Look at the way this mother-in-law dotes on her grandson. Don't look at her nice words now. If you really help her do it, she may still find a lot of problems, saying that there are problems with this and that, and change it. It would be
even worse if the grandson doesn't like it. She will come back and say that you ruined her family's fabrics, and make trouble for you and ask you to pay for it.
——There are such people in this world.
In order to avoid meeting such people, we must learn to refuse reasonably, help those who should be helped, and don't lend a hand to those who shouldn't be helped.
"Hey!" Mo Jixiang frowned: "It's not a big deal, just help us embroider."
"I'm sorry, Aunt Mo, I don't have that much time, you can do it yourself." Qin Rou refused to give in, "This sister-in-law just said that she would learn and embroider herself."
"What's wrong with you, the daughter-in-law of the Lu family? You won't help with such a small matter?" Seeing that she really didn't help, Mo Jixiang immediately raised his voice and tried to call the people of the Lu family over to put pressure on Qin Rou.
How can you be someone's daughter-in-law if you don't help with such a small matter?
Jiang Ping and Lu Yan came out at this time. Mo Jixiang and Yang Yue immediately focused their attention on the mother and son. Mo Jixiang immediately said to Jiang Ping: "Lu family, your daughter-in-law is not generous. I just wanted her to help with something small, but she got angry and refused." Zhou Chunxiang,
who was drinking tea and eating melon seeds and watching the excitement, saw this scene and immediately became energetic.
——The Lu family is really lively.
Lu Yan interrupted and said: "What did you ask her to help with?"
"It's not a big deal. I asked her to sew a dress for my grandson. Here, it's just a small fish pattern. She still refused to help. Lu family, your daughter-in-law is so spoiled." Mo Jixiang said these words and looked at Jiang Ping with a smile.
If it were in an ordinary in-law's house, this lazy daughter-in-law would definitely be taught a lesson for not wanting to help with such a small matter.
Lu Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and without saying anything, he looked at his own daughter-in-law first.
Jiang Ping said: "Since it is a small matter, then Lao Mo, you can go back and do it yourself. It's not easy for my son and daughter-in-law to come back from the island. They need to have a good rest at home now."
"Hey, what can this young man rest for? Look at what you said," Mo Jixiang boasted: "Jiang Ping, how can you, as a mother-in-law, not control your own daughter-in-law? My son's daughter-in-law Yang Yue does everything at home, never complains of being tired, and works very diligently. She serves my son like an ancestor."
"This is what a daughter-in-law should be like. It is said that a daughter-in-law will eventually become a mother-in-law. Who didn't start as a little daughter-in-law?"
"People are like stones, they need to be tamed. If your daughter-in-law doesn't do such a small thing, how can she take good care of your son at home in the future? I know she has given birth to two grandsons for your family and has made contributions, but we can't let her temper do what she wants."
Lu Yan walked to his daughter-in-law and sat down. The couple looked at each other. Lu Yan put his arm around Qin Rou's shoulders and said softly, "I love my daughter-in-law very much. As long as I am at home, I can't bear to let her suffer. I wash the clothes at home and sweep the floor. As long as it is work that I can do, I will not let her do it."
He took Qin Rou's hand and stroked it gently, "Originally, I didn't let her sew this dress, but she insisted on making clothes for me. When we got married, I didn't even want to buy her a sewing machine. It hurts her eyes to fiddle with these needles and threads."
"Pfft——" Qin Rou was amused by his affectation. Zhou Zhou and Dumpling had some acting skills in them. Where did they get this acting skill from? They learned it from their father.
Qin Rou said sincerely: "Lu Yan, it's great to marry into your family."
If she met a mother-in-law like the old lady Mo in front of her, it is estimated that the daily routine would be a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law battle.
Add a mother-in-law like the Liu family, who alienates the relationship between her and her children, and it will be a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama at eight o'clock.
Zhou Chunxiang: "..."
Seeing this, Zhou Chunxiang found that the liveliness was different from what she imagined?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lu family quarreled? Lu Yan and Qin Rou, the young couple... Aren't they a barrel of dynamite and a little pepper? They are so affectionate, but did the barrel of dynamite fry the little pepper into chili sauce? Otherwise, why is it so sticky?
"Jiang Ping, look at your son and daughter-in-law, what's wrong with them?" Mo Jixiang's face was not very good.
What does it mean to marry into the Lu family? Marrying into the Ma family is bad?
"Each family has its own affairs, and the situation of each family is different. Old Ma family, take your daughter-in-law back as soon as possible." Jiang Ping has already ordered them to leave. She looks down on those who take advantage of their age, and she is not interested in being a mother-in-law who manipulates her daughter-in-law.
"Why is the situation different in each family? Isn't it like this in other families?"
"There is no way, it's not like this in our family."
"You just let your son spoil your daughter-in-law? Be careful that she will ride on you in the future? You will be lawless in the future."
"Why is it lawless? Who is lawless?" Lu Zongyi walked in with a smile, holding a grandson in his left hand and a grandson in his right hand.
As soon as he saw his son Lu Yan in the house, he stopped laughing.
He looked down at his two grandsons Zhou Zhou and Dumpling. Although these two little guys looked like that naughty boy, they were lovable. They hoped they would not grow up to be as annoying as their father.
"Old Lu, you came at the right time. Come and listen. I think your eldest son spoils his wife too much."
Lu Zongyi didn't know the previous situation yet, so he said casually: "Isn't it good to spoil your wife? It is a tradition of our Lu family. My stinky son is not good in any way, except this one. "
Lu Zongyi said happily, actively flattering himself. He looked at Jiang Ping in a flattering way: "Comrade Jiang, don't you think so?"
Jiang Ping: "..."
There was a word she didn't know whether she should say it or not.
"Zhou Zhou Xiao Dumpling, learn from your grandfather. You have to spoil your wife in order to marry a good wife."
Zhou Zhou and Xiao Dumpling nodded, not quite understanding.
Mo Jixiang stared at Lu Zongyi in disbelief: "..."
She finally understood that this was the case of the top beam being crooked and the bottom beam being crooked! The whole family was like this from the old to the young.
Zhou Chunxiang: "..."
She felt that today's excitement was in vain.
Mo Jixiang and his daughter-in-law Yang Yue walked out of the Lu family, and Zhou Chunxiang followed them.
Mo Jixiang quickly said to Yang Yue: "We can't learn from the Lu family. The Lu family is not upright at the top and the bottom is crooked. Our grandchildren must not learn these things in the future. Women are born to serve men. How can we let men do housework? Wouldn't that make them sissy? There is no manliness at all." "
Which good woman is willing to marry a sissy? In the past, that would be a eunuch."
Since leaving the Lu family, Yang Yue's heart was a little blocked. At this time, hearing her mother-in-law's words, it was like a knife stabbing into her heart.
- Sissy?
- Eunuch?
Yang Yue thought of her husband, who had no career and no ideas at home. He listened to his mother. If his mother told him to go east, he would go east. If his mother told him to go west, he would go west. He even had to ask his mother before they could have sex. As
soon as she entered his house, he kept saying that he liked her and treated her sincerely. But when his mother tried to criticize her, he didn't dare to say a word. He never defended his wife, but just said that he couldn't do anything to his mother and asked her to obey his mother more. Since
her husband couldn't stand up, Yang Yue could only compromise again and again.
——Who is the sissy eunuch? Isn't she the one she married?
He has no backbone at all.
Zhou Chunxiang laughed and said, "The boy raised by the Lu family is a troublemaker. He was very fierce when he was young and he always went against his father."
"Old Ma, your son is quite obedient. He listens to you, his mother, in everything."
"That's right." Mo Jixiang said proudly, "I raised him well. Our son is obedient."
Zhou Chunxiang smiled mysteriously and left. She felt that she had watched a good show today.
Yang Yue's face was flushed. Zhou Chunxiang's words made her want to dig a hole in the ground. Her face was burning. At this moment, she realized that other people in this yard knew the truth. She was the one who really married a useless sissy eunuch.
She covered her face and ran back.
"Yang Yue, Yang Yue, why are you running?!"
