When others heard this, they felt their teeth ache.
Lu Zhiye's eyes turned, fearing that someone had dirty thoughts.
He quickly followed up with a sentence: “These also cost a lot of money and tickets.
The bicycle ticket and sewing plane ticket were also obtained by our brother Yuanshan through begging for help.
After this trip, the house is basically empty.”
“That’s what I’m saying. For a dual-income family like mine, our combined salary is about 70 or 80 yuan.
I have several kids to take care of, and I can barely save much money throughout the year."
"That's right, that's right, but this comrade is really generous. If my son were to get married, I wouldn't be willing to pay so much for the bride price.
After the event, the whole family won’t eat or drink?”
A woman looked sideways at the bicycle with a big red flower tied on it, the jealousy in her eyes almost solidified into substance.
No one refuted her words, after all, it was a fact.
Inside the house, Xiaorou's parents didn't expect that Lu Yuanshan would bring so many people with him.
The living room was packed, and some people had no room left and stood in the corridor outside.
Xiaorou's mother quickly pushed her daughter and said, "It's not right to let the guests stand outside. Didn't you bring back a bag of candy yesterday? Go and share it with everyone."
As the saying goes, old ginger is wiser. Xiaorou's mother understood very well that even if they lived in the commune in the future, they would have to return to the village during the holidays.
The women in the village are the most gossipy. If you don't treat them well, they will drown you with their saliva.
Xiaorou nodded repeatedly. This was the White Rabbit milk candy that she had bought at the supply and marketing cooperative at a high price.
Originally, I wanted to give it to Niu Niu and Lu Yuanshan’s eldest and second sisters’ children.
Now it seems that I can only buy it again.
Xiaorou walked out confidently and gave two candies to each person.
Everyone saw that this was not the usual fruit candy that cost one cent each, but the White Rabbit milk candy with a rich milky flavor.
The aunts were reluctant to eat it and asked in surprise, "Is this the candy known in the city as the Seven White Rabbit Milk Candies that can be soaked in a cup of milk?"
"I've heard of this, too. The pattern on it is a mouse. It seems to be real."
"This unmarried daughter-in-law from Yuanshan is so generous!"
Everyone was talking at once, and Xiaorou blushed.
There were also aunties who were reluctant to eat the candy and secretly put it into their pockets.
Prepare to take it home, rinse it in hot water, and give each child a sip to sweeten their mouths.
Most people had this idea, and many people in the family compound couldn't help swallowing.
Although they receive a salary every month, they have children at home who are waiting for food and drink.
I usually didn't dare to be so extravagant. Occasionally, I would go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy two White Rabbit milk candies. Then I would pretend to be mysterious and return home to call my children over.
Some children are reluctant to throw away the candy wrappers after eating the candy. They put them under their pillows and lick them when they wake up in the morning.
As you can imagine, White Rabbit Milk Candy is very expensive. It is one of the few luxury goods in many children's childhood memories.
At noon, in addition to Lu Yuanshan's family, Captain Lu's wife, and the lady in the green headscarf stayed behind.
The rest of the people were pulled back to the village by Lu Zhiye.
In Xiaorou's house, Niu Niu sat cautiously in the corner, looking towards Xiaorou from time to time.
She fiddled with the corners of her clothes with both hands, even though Wen Sihe had told her before that Xiaorou was going to be her mother.
But when she really faced it, she still felt a little timid.
Lu Yuanshan saw his daughter's fear and waved to her quickly: "Niuniu, come here."
Niuniu ran over shyly and whispered, "Dad."
People feel refreshed when good things happen to them, and Lu Yuanshan's brows and eyes were relaxed.
He said cheerfully to Xiaorou's family, "Uncle, aunt, this is my daughter Niuniu. Niuniu, call for help!"
Niuniu nervously grasped Lu Yuanshan's arm. Seeing Xiaorou's parents' expectant eyes, she called out crisply, "Hello, Grandpa and Grandma."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Xiaorou's mother shouted "good" three times in a row, her mouth almost grinning to her ears. She took out something wrapped in red paper from her pocket and said, "Come here, we are a family from now on, you should call us grandma and grandpa.
This is our welcome gift to Niuniu."
Niu Niu looked at her father somewhat at a loss. Only when she saw Lu Yuanshan nod did she timidly stretch out her hand and take the thing.
Xiaorou's heart almost melted by this look.
Lu Chunmei was impatient, she rubbed the head she wanted to rub, and said directly: "Our Niuniu has always liked Comrade Xiaorou, and when Xiaorou marries us in the future, there is no need to worry about this relationship.
However, our family also hopes that everyone can treat their children with empathy and treat them well.”
It was a bit harsh to say these words on such a happy day.
Isn't it obvious that he is targeting Xiaorou?
But it was also because of this that Xiaorou's mother looked up to the people of the Lu family.
She despised those who remarried and ignored their own children.
The fact that Lu Yuanshan's family can say this shows that they are all good people.
In the future, Xiaorou will not suffer any grievances when she marries into their family.
"Our Xiaorou loves children the most, but unfortunately..."
At this point, Xiaorou's mother choked up a little, but she had to say the ugly words in advance. She didn't want anyone to make trouble about this matter in the future.
Lu Yuanshan immediately said: "Whether you can have a child or not depends entirely on fate.
Our family will never talk about Xiaorou about this matter in the future."
Lu Chunmei quickly followed up and said, "Yes, if Yuanshan really dares to do this, I will be the first one to not let him off."
This sentence made everyone laugh, and Mr. Lu subconsciously touched his lower back.
Seeing his old woman glaring at him, he touched his nose helplessly and took his hand back.
Their house is really too crowded. Others say that life in the city is better, but in Mr. Lu's opinion, living in this house is not as good as living in his old and shabby yard.
If an old man smokes here, the whole room will be filled with smoke.
The engagement arrangements have been completed, and the wedding day is coming soon.
Xiaorou's mother was afraid that if she was too late, something strange would happen next!
Looking at the good dates suggested by Mr. Lu Sanye and others, I chose a day nearby.
"Next Thursday, I think, will be a very good day."
Grandma Lu San hesitated: "Is this too tight?"
Xiaorou's mother patted her thigh and said, "It's not tight, it's not tight, we have prepared everything that should be prepared for our daughter's family.
We won't take any of the gifts when the time comes. We'll give them all back to our daughter. We just hope you can treat her better."
