Chapter 379: You are such a sweet talker, how can I be as good as you say?
After Lu Hongjun boiled the water, Liang Cui carried the chickens and ducks and went downstairs with him. When she woke up from the wine, she found the door of her house was open but no one was there. She was a little confused.
Where are they going?
Why is there no one to be seen?
She changed her shoes and went downstairs, where she saw an old couple killing a chicken next to a garbage dump, and they were already at the stage of gutting it.
Liang Cui turned around and saw Wen Jiu coming over, and quickly waved to her to go back.
"It's snowing outside, Jiu, don't come. Hurry home and warm yourself by the fire and have your meal. I left breakfast in the pot, it should still be warm!"
I slept until breakfast was over and I didn't feel comfortable going home first, so I just waited for them under the eaves.
"It's okay, mom. I'm not hungry."
Lu Hongjun winked at Liang Cui, who then grabbed two handfuls of snow, carefully wiped the blood off her hands, and walked towards Weng Wine.
"Then you go home with Mom."
"Mom, there's snow in my shoes and it's a bit cold. I need to go back and warm myself by the fire."
Wen Jiu thought Liang Cui really had snow in her shoes, so she said bluntly, "Okay."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and said to Lu Hongjun, "Dad, I'm going to go back with my mom first. You should come back quickly after you kill the chickens. It's cold outside."
"Okay, you guys hurry back."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went home together. As soon as Liang Cui got home, she quickly changed her shoes, washed her hands, went to the kitchen, and brought out the food that had been left for warming the wine.
They have a very hard life. In their eyes, nothing is more important than having food.
"It's still hot!"
"Try it and see if it suits your taste."
They ate last night's leftovers, warmed the wine and cooked some red date porridge, made some soft cakes with homemade pickles, and steamed a bowl of spinach and chicken egg custard, which was rich in nutrition.
Wen Jiu knew at a glance that Liang Cui must have made it just for her, because she was reluctant to make so many changes for them.
"Mom, please eat with me."
“I can’t eat that much.”
After she finished speaking, she stood up, went to the kitchen, fetched two bowls, put some porridge and egg custard in them, and pushed them in front of Liang Cui.
Liang Cui said helplessly: "Eat quickly, Mom is full and has no more food."
Wen Jiu smiled shyly and said, "You ate early and now you are feeling dry!"
Liang Cui saw that Wen Jiu was a little embarrassed, so she didn't say anything else and picked up the bowl and said, "Seeing you eating, I do feel a little hungry. Let's eat quickly or it will get cold."
"Okay, Mom."
"You are so kind. If all mothers-in-law in the world were like you, any conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would definitely be the daughter-in-law's fault."
Wen Jiu flattered Liang Cui with a smile, making Liang Cui feel embarrassed.
"You are such a sweet-talker, how can I be as good as you say?"
"Eat your meal!"
“Rice gets cold easily in cold weather!”
Shut your mouth!
So that she doesn't have to say those words that make her blush.
Seeing that Liang Cui was embarrassed, Wen Jiu no longer felt embarrassed himself. He happily held the bowl and ate his customized meal, not forgetting to praise Liang Cui while eating.
"Mom, your cooking is so delicious. If I could eat your cooking every day, I feel like I would live to be at least 100 years old."
Liang Cui couldn't help but laugh, "If Mom can cook until you are a hundred years old, that would be really amazing!"
If the wine is 100 years old, she would be 150 years old. How could she live that long?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finished their meal happily, and Lu Hongjun came back from outside, covered in snow, carrying a cooked chicken and duck.
When Wenjiu saw this, he quickly stood up, took the chicken and duck from his hand and took them to the kitchen, where he got a basin and poured some hot water.
Liang Cui took a towel and went out to brush the snow off him. She dried his body outside and gave him shoes to change into before letting him into the house.
"Dad, the tip of your nose is red from the cold, put your hands in the hot water to warm them up," Wenjiu brought the hot water to Lu Hongjun.
Seeing that the wine was being warmed in a basin, Lu Hongjun quickly reached out to take the basin and put it on the ground. "Jiu, please stop standing in front of me. I'm afraid your shoes will get wet."
"It's okay, Dad. I'm watching!"
After Lu Hongjun finished washing, Wenjiu quickly took the water from the washbasin and poured it out. Then he came back and sat in front of Liang Cui and Lu Hongjun, took out some melon seeds and chatted with them.
"Have you read the newspaper? Qingqing's article is really well written."
Talking about this outstanding lady, Liang Cui and Lu Hongjun both had smiles on their faces.
"I'll find someone to read it once I get it."
Liang Cui dismantled his stage, "You don't just want to find someone to read it to, you want to use a loud speaker to read it to the whole village, and you want to take it out and show it to the dog passing by."
Lu Hongjun was not embarrassed at all, and said confidently: "I did it on purpose. I just wanted to let those shameless people see how outstanding my daughter is, so that they won't be so shameless as to think they are worthy of her."
He said that Lu Qingqing went to college and would not consider getting married in the next few years. However, there were always people asking matchmakers to say that any man was eligible to marry her.
Some were rejected and just let it go, but some were rejected and continued to be shameless, saying that it was useless to spend money on a girl's college education, because she would still have to marry someone else in the future, so it would be better to save the money for herself...
They say whatever offensive things they want!
There were several times when Lu Nanfeng couldn't hold back the anger anymore and had to use a broom to chase people out.
Wenjiu could imagine how excessive those people were just by listening to what Lu Hongjun said. Their heads were twisted and narrow as if they were wrapped in foot bindings, and they were as disgusting and crazy as a piece of poop.
She strongly agreed with Lu Hongjun's approach.
"I think what you did was absolutely right, Dad. If someone comes to propose marriage, just refuse. Qingqing finally got out of the mountains, you can't tie her back to marriage. She studied hard not to live with a group of ignorant and shameless people. She should make her own choice."
These words touched Liang Cui's heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Being a woman is so hard.
Not liked at home.
After getting married, you should have children. If you meet a good man, you can live a slightly more comfortable life. But if you meet a scumbag, your life will be over at a glance and there will be no hope at all.
Like a soulless puppet, he was manipulated by others to accept the same fate and tragedy as his mother.
Lu Hongjun nodded, "I understand. Your mother and I didn't want her to spend her whole life in the mountains, working hard and having no future or knowledge like us, so we insisted on letting her study and take exams."
When the family was going through the most difficult times, neither of them thought of letting Lu Qingqing give up going to school.
Fortunately, this girl is really promising!
Wen Jiu said, "Dad, how can you and Mom be said to be useless and ignorant? You are better than many people for having such thoughts. Qingqing's ability to go to college is half due to you."
It was useless for Lu Qingqing to just work hard. If they were like those people who thought that adopted daughters were to be raised by other families and were money-losing goods, she would not have had the chance to go to college.
