For a moment, Lu Yuanshan even wondered if he had done something wrong.
This thought only lasted for a moment, and he quickly shook his head away.
Having children does not mean you will be happy when you are old.
It is enough for him to have Niu Niu. When Yang Tao's son grows up, he will also pay for his marriage.
Lu Yuanshan feels that whether a person can live a good life when he or she is old does not just depend on his or her children.
There is an old lady in the village next to them who has five sons. She was very happy when the children were born, but she is very sad now.
All the children of her five sons were left in her home for her to take care of.
Every day when I enter the house, there are a dozen children, shouting "Grandma, Grandma".
The old lady always says: Why haven’t I died yet?
By the time she had raised her children, her own health had deteriorated.
Several daughters-in-law thought she was a burden and were unwilling to bring her into their homes, so the old lady stayed alone in her own little yard.
No one knew they had starved to death for three days, and if the neighbors hadn't smelled the stench and ran to their house and knocked on the door, no one would have known.
So, children must be filial, then having children is useful.
If you are not filial, what's the point of being so successful in the village?
Lu Hongmei sighed and looked at Lu Yuanshan, hesitant to speak: "Yuanshan..."
Lu Yuanshan knew what she wanted to say, and quickly interrupted her with a smile in his eyes: "Sister, I brought back a few pieces of defective cloth this time, all of which are styles that are not available in our county.
Come with me into the house and take a look. There are still some black and gray ones. Take them back and make clothes for my brother-in-law and his family."
He was obviously trying to change the subject, and Lu Hongmei had no way to continue. Lu Chunmei at the side pulled her arm and said, "Alright, Yuanshan is already an adult, let him make the decision himself."
At night, the two sisters did not leave, and slept in the same room like they did when they were children.
Lu Hongmei tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Lu Chunmei couldn't help but kick her with her foot: "Sister, what are you worried about?
Our parents haven’t said anything, so if we say more, it will only make people dislike us.”
Lu Hongmei touched the corner of her eyes and said, "I feel that Yuanshan has suffered too much. I am afraid that the one he wants to marry next will be the same as the previous one."
These words made the smile on Lu Chunmei's face fade, and the room was silent...
The next morning, Wen Sihe came to Mr. Lu's house with a list.
At this time, Uncle Lu San had just harnessed the ox cart and stopped it at the door, waiting for Grandma Lu San to bring him some dry food.
Seeing Wen Sihe coming over, he grinned and said, "Hehe is here, where's Xiaoye? Why didn't he come with you?"
Wen Sihe smiled and raised the paper in her hand: "Lu Zhiye is at home looking after the children. This is what Brother Yuanshan asked us to do yesterday.
I'll bring it to him before he leaves the house."
When Lu Yuanshan in the yard heard the noise, he quickly put down what he was holding and walked out in two steps.
After seeing what was written on the white paper, he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Will this work? Will it be too little?"
Mr. Lu San also took the opportunity to come over and stretched his head to look at the paper.
When he was young, he followed Grandpa Lu Zhiye and learned quite a few characters.
Pointing at the black and white words on the paper, he asked, “Is this the betrothal gift for that girl?
Let me take a look, two new sets of clothes, 50 yuan for the bride price......."
Master Lu finished reading the numbers on the list, touched his chin, turned his head and looked at Wen Sihe: "This, this is written wrong, right? This is the number for marriages in our village.
The city folks should probably ask for more than this..."
Wen Sihe said calmly: "What kind of person is Comrade Xiaorou? I know her best.
Besides, both of their parents are working and they have a sewing machine and other things.
There is no shortage of these things. I have met Xiaorou's mother several times. She is a straightforward person.
Yesterday I heard Brother Yuanshan say that he wanted to live in the staff quarters allocated by the cannery.
When the time comes, you can give Comrade Xiaorou a bicycle and add it to the betrothal gift. That will be very prestigious.”
Master Lu slapped his thighs and shouted, "Yes, yes, this is a good idea.
Although both of you are getting married for the second time, you still have to live your life together.
If we equip ourselves with everything we need, we won't be looked down upon by city dwellers.
Do you have enough money? I have saved all the money you have paid home every month in the past few years.
If it’s not enough, I’ll give it to you…”
As Mr. Lu Sanye spoke, he raised his foot and prepared to walk into the house.
Lu Yuanshan quickly stopped him and said, "Dad, I have enough money.
You can pay for the banquet or something like that later."
He knew very well in his heart that if he didn't let the old couple pay a penny, they would talk about it every day.
When the time comes to hold the banquet, he will buy all the necessary meat and vegetables and let Mr. Lu San spend money to hire a few workers to do the work.
"Okay, I naturally believe you. I will prepare according to the list first.
Let’s find someone to calculate the date and then we can go and propose marriage.”
Lu Yuanshan put the paper into his pocket and thanked Wen Sihe with a smile.
Niuniu happened to run out at this moment, and threw herself into Wen Sihe's arms: "Sister-in-law, please take me to find Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan."
Lu Yuanshan looked at his daughter's appearance and his lips twitched.
According to seniority, Lu Zhiye should call him uncle.
Niuniu should indeed call Wen Sihe sister-in-law, but they are used to calling her that, and now their own daughter is calling her the same as them!!!
Isn’t it infuriating?
He wanted to correct Niu Niu, but Niu Niu patted her chest and shouted, "I am Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan's aunt, they have to call me aunt."
In order to take advantage of this, Niu Niu refused to give in, and everyone had no choice but to let her do what she wanted.
Lu Yuanshan packed up and went straight to the food factory.
At this time, inside the food factory, Lu Zhiye was busy calculating the orders in his hands.
Last year, Liu Qianjin in the Northwest saw that Lu Zhiye's processing plant was developing well, so he instigated the county leaders to open a processing plant there.
But sales were a big problem, which was a major setback for him on his smooth road.
Later, they contacted Lu Zhiye again and entrusted the food factory to sell the products they processed.
The capital was barely saved, and Lu Zhiye's office was filled with orders.
Even Director Gong couldn't help but be amazed when he saw it.
Lu Yuanshan looked around but didn't see Director Gong.
He strode towards Lu Zhiye's office.
Just as he reached the door, he heard a sound from inside, and he paused, and slowly put down his hand that was about to knock on the door.
