Chapter 76 Taboo
Lu Xin and Lu Pingping were both from the same village, so the ceremony of picking up the bride was not very complicated. The groom simply carried the bride from her parents' home to her husband's home.
Only after entering her husband's house can the bride's feet touch the ground.
Next is to worship heaven and earth.
After serving tea, Lu Xing and the other people attending the wedding can start eating.
The chef was really good at cooking. The braised pork elbow was stewed until the bone was gone. The fat was not greasy and the lean meat was not tough. It melted in the mouth as soon as it was taken. Lu Xing ate two more mouthfuls of rice with the soup.
Not long after, Lu Pingping and Lu Xin came down to toast, and they had to toast every table before they could eat.
But seeing that Lu Xin's face was red but he couldn't hide his smile, he probably enjoyed it too.
People outside have a misunderstanding. They think that people who have a banquet are leisurely and chat while eating.
In fact, the villagers have no time to chat while having a meal. If they are slow to use their chopsticks, the delicious dishes will be taken away by others. So even Mrs. Lu, who doesn't get along with Lu Xing, will concentrate on eating first and only have time to talk after she is full.
But she didn't have time to look for trouble today because Lu Yuan came back in a car.
That was the first car Xiaoshi Village had ever seen!
If it wasn't for Lu Xin and his family's wedding today, and everyone in the village was busy with the banquet, I guess the whole village would have to run to the village entrance to see what the car looked like.
"Have you seen Lu Yuan's car? He must be making a lot of money out there, right?"
"Huang Liye mentioned this before, mobile phones cost a lot of money, so a car must be even more expensive."
Old Mrs. Lu muttered quietly, "He makes so much money, why is he only giving us a dozen or twenty yuan for Chinese New Year?"
"Exactly. We sold so many vegetables to him, why did he only give us so little?"
Seeing that Lu Yuan made so much money, some people began to feel dissatisfied with the small amount of money they got.
But we are still attending someone else's wedding, so those dissatisfactions have not yet become a problem.
At noon, the wedding banquet was just a meal, and those who lived far away or had ordinary relationships went back home. At night, the relatives of both families basically ate together.
After the wedding banquet, the village returned to its normal pace of life the next day.
As usual, Lu Xing went to the village entrance to chat with someone, and found that the group of gentlemen who were originally playing chess and chatting at the end of the village also came to the village entrance.
Although everyone was talking, they couldn't help but glance at the car where Lu Yuan was parked at the entrance of the village.
Someone had scratched a noticeable mark on the beautiful car.
"Whose kid did this? There's such a big scratch on the car."
"Who knows? Everyone in our village went to a wedding yesterday. Who has time for this?"
After a while, Lu Yuan also came. He also saw the trace, but he didn't say anything. He greeted the people who were sitting there chatting.
"Uncle, aunt, what are you talking about?"
"Speaking of your car, Lu Yuan, I don't know which wicked person scratched it so badly. Do you want to take it in for repairs?"
Lu Yuan smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, as long as it can still be driven. This guy didn't break anything else besides this, right?"
"I'm afraid that everyone in our village went to a wedding banquet yesterday, and outsiders came to disrupt it."
Originally everyone thought that the sabotage was caused by the villagers, who were probably jealous of Lu Yuan making so much money. Everyone discussed it for a while but didn't take it seriously.
After hearing what he said, those who had bicycles at home became anxious. The vandalism by villagers and outsiders was different. They might be jealous of their bicycles and puncture the tires.
A group of people hurried back to check their belongings.
He then told the village chief that he wanted to find out who scratched his car. If it was someone from another village, he would ask the police for help, mainly because he was afraid that this person would destroy other people's property again.
Just this one sentence shut up those who wanted to say that he was making a big deal out of nothing.
Who doesn’t have some valuable things at home? What if someone follows their example and secretly steals their bicycle in the middle of the night?
Those who had not done this thing shouted for the person to be arrested, while those who had done the bad thing were sweating anxiously in the crowd, but did not dare to act rashly.
Lu Xing asked the system whether the person who caused damage to Lian Hua's house was the same person who caused damage to Lu Yuan. Unexpectedly, they were not the same person.
[Host, why would they sacrifice their sleep time to destroy other people's things? This doesn't benefit them in any way and doesn't conform to the principle of maximizing benefits.]
"He just doesn't like other people. He feels happy when other people are unhappy."
Lu Xing also found it difficult to explain this complicated emotion.
And if Lu Yuan continues to be so rich, more and more people will be jealous of him, and there will always be one or two of them who will do something bad.
However, the village chief soon announced that it was almost the middle of the year and the profits from the processing plant jointly opened by their village and Lu Yuan had to be divided.
In the six months from the Chinese New Year to now, Lu Yuan's factory has doubled its profits compared to last year.
This time, when distributing money to the villagers, the least they could get was one or two hundred yuan.
Then, the village chief announced the second good news. Lu Yuan planned to donate the money he had earned in the past six months to build roads in the village.
In this way, it will be more convenient for children in the village to go to school in town.
When Lu Zhengde was talking about this, he wanted to pry open some people's heads to see what they were thinking.
Capable people help them make money, but some people not only don't show gratitude but also want to sabotage others.
Lu Yuan paid for the road construction and hired workers directly from the village, which was also a disguised way to increase the income of the villagers.
Because they were building a road for their own family and they were getting paid, everyone worked very hard. The task that was originally estimated to take three months was completed in one and a half months.
The original dirt road was turned into a gravel road and the road was widened.
The walking time from Xiaoshi Village to town has also been shortened.
The road was repaired, and it was just the time when Lu Zhixing started primary school.
Lian Hua took Lu Zhixing to report to the elementary school. They also took Lu Xing with them. The two of them also met Bai Lu. She stood at the door and gently greeted every child who came to school.
Although she was often in town and rarely went back, she recognized Lianhua the first time and said, "Auntie, is this your grandson?"
"Yes, my son Xingxing is starting first grade this year. If anything happens, please help keep an eye on him."
Lu Zhixing was holding Lianhua's clothes at the side, looking at Bailu nervously, and greeted her obediently, "Hello, teacher."
"Don't worry, Auntie. Your Xingxing is so well behaved. I'll help you take care of him if anything happens."
After that, she squatted down again and spoke to Lu Zhixing, "Xingxing, can I take you to class?"
"good."
Watching the two of them walk into the school, Lu Xing was about to ask Lian Hua if she wanted to buy some tofu when a familiar voice suddenly rang out from the side, "Grandma Lu!"
Lu Xing looked to the side and saw someone she knew. "Liu Fangfang? Are you a teacher here?"
"Yes! I just graduated and came here two days ago. I'm teaching first grade here now."
Liu Fangfang was very happy to see an acquaintance, "Grandma, why are you here?"
"I'm here with her to send her grandson to school. Maybe you're her grandson's teacher."
"What a coincidence! Mom just happened to have too many pickled radishes, so I thought I'd send some over to you."
"Grandma, wait a minute. I'll get it for you in the dormitory."
Lu Xing watched her walk towards the dormitory, and then heard the system speaking in her mind.
[Host, it seems like there's someone else's grave underneath where your friend lives?]
When Lu Xing heard about the word "grave", his first reaction was that this might be the site of the ancestral tomb of some village, and the school was built on the tomb.
But then I heard the system tell me the age of the tomb, why does it feel like it's an ancient tomb?!
Is it taboo to sleep on an ancient tomb?
【Author has something to say】
Can you guess why the school was built on top of an ancient tomb? Hahahahaha
Thank you little angels for feeding ~
