Chapter 458 This plan is very clever
After hearing that her nephew had a promising future, the third aunt of the Xu family started thinking about this matter.
Her son graduated from junior high school this year. He started studying late and will be seventeen years old in March.
As long as I have someone to help me, I can join the army by the end of the year.
My aunt Huanghua, however, had a different idea.
Her eldest nephew is so rich, isn’t it just because he was a soldier?
Her son is too old to serve in the army.
But her daughter Qiuyan is already eighteen years old, so she wants to find a military officer for her to marry.
There is not much difference between a son serving as a soldier and a son-in-law serving as an official.
Moreover, her daughter is obedient, good-looking, and has studied for five years. Her son-in-law will definitely listen to her in the future.
Lu Hanzhou's eldest cousin Xu Qiuyan didn't come today. She works in the commune canteen and went to work.
I work in the cafeteria for one dollar a day, and I have to work for three meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner, but meals are provided.
This job was found with the help of her older cousin who taught at the commune middle school...
Everyone comes here with beautiful dreams, so they work very hard.
This behavior made Mother Lu believe even more that her three younger brothers and sisters were all up to something!
But she is not afraid.
As soon as the Japanese raised their butts, she knew what kind of shit they were doing!
There were no customers at noon, but since so many people came from the Xu family, the Lu family opened three tables.
The main dishes are a dish of stewed winter melon with bones, a braised dish, a dish of stir-fried pork offal with garlic sprouts and chili peppers, and a dish of cabbage with vinegar.
"Sister, is this pig's head meat?"
My second aunt picked up a piece of braised food, took a bite, and immediately screamed.
Mother Lu nodded. "Yes, yesterday Da Mao and his comrades went hunting in the mountains for a day and killed two wild boars, a wild goat and several wild rabbits."
"The meat has to be saved for tomorrow's lunch. If it's not a full meal, just eat some pig's head and pig's feet."
This pig head...isn't it so delicious?
The second aunt opened her mouth and said, "Sister, your skills are getting better and better. Who did you learn from?"
"I've never eaten such delicious pig head before."
Mother Lu said calmly, "It was made by Da Mao's wife. She learned the method from a book."
"It tastes good, but it just wastes seasoning."
"There are a lot of star anise, cinnamon, ginger, and soy sauce in it. There are eight kinds of ingredients in total."
ah?
So many things?
Besides, these are not cheap things...
The second aunt didn't know what to say. Xu Qiuling was very smart. She quickly took over the conversation: "Cousin, you are really amazing."
"There are many scholars, but you are the only one who can make such delicious pig head meat."
"That's right."
My second aunt immediately agreed.
After she agreed, my eldest and third aunts had no choice but to stop talking and say a few words of praise.
Xu Zijin didn't say anything, she just glanced at Xu Qiuling.
She discovered that Xu Qiuling today was very different from Xu Qiuling that night...
Xu Zijin couldn't understand why Xu Qiuling changed.
She was too busy today and didn't have time to figure it out.
Not long after lunch, the elders of the Lu family came in, and the neighbors who came to help also came.
When they learned that the three brothers of the Xu family had come to help, they were all extremely surprised.
So everyone didn't have to make any arrangements and just started putting up couplets, window decorations, cleaning the yard, and tidying up the house.
After a while, the Lu family became lively.
After half a day of preparation, the entire Lu family was filled with joy.
The Xu family had to go back and start having dinner at five o'clock.
Dinner is much richer than lunch.
Four main dishes and four vegetarian dishes, known as a balanced meal, are the customary way of preparing banquets in rural areas.
The wine is rice wine brewed by the farmers themselves.
Today's meal can be said to be a thank you meal for the clan members, because they have all been very busy over the past two days.
Lu Hanzhou followed Lu's father and toasted uncles, aunts, grandfathers and other elders one by one without any hesitation.
"Hanzhou, you are the pride of our Lu family. Uncle toasts to you!"
The captain held the wine bowl and looked at Lu Hanzhou.
He immediately held the wine bowl with both hands and said, "Thank you, uncle. I can work peacefully outside thanks to the strong support of all the elders."
"Thank you for taking care of my family over the years."
"Hanzhou would like to borrow this bowl of rice wine today. Thank you, elders!"
"I'll finish my drink, you guys can do whatever you want!"
We still have things to do tomorrow, so we just had a few drinks in the evening.
After dinner, the Xu family left first.
After Xu Zijin finished washing up, Lu Hanzhou sent her to the captain's house...
"Uncle, aunt, sorry to bother you."
The captain's wife smiled and said, "We are a family, please don't say such polite words."
"Hanzhou, you can send your wife to my house, which means you think highly of us."
"Daughter-in-law Hanzhou, you will sleep in the same room with my little daughter tonight. Everything is ready."
Xu Zijin nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, auntie."
"You're welcome. You're welcome."
The captain’s youngest daughter is Lu Jiayu, a very cheerful little girl who is thirteen years old.
"Are you Big Mao's wife?"
"Oh, you're so pretty! Big Mao, you're really good at finding a wife."
Xu Zijin smiled, took out a pair of hair flowers, two beautiful hairpins and a hairband from her bag and handed them to her.
"Do you like it?"
"For me?"
Lu Jiayu couldn't believe it. She had never seen such a beautiful thing before.
Xu Zijin smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's for you, take it."
"Ahhh, mom, mom, my sister-in-law gave it to me, look at it, it's so beautiful!"
Lu Jiayu was so excited that she took the things and shouted to her mother...
Of course the captain’s wife saw it.
She laughed and scolded, "Don't be crazy, hurry up and thank Sister-in-law Zijin."
"Thank you, sister-in-law Zijin, thank you, sister-in-law Zijin!"
Lu Jiayu was so excited that she almost went crazy. This was really beautiful. She had never seen a more beautiful hair ornament.
There is no girl who doesn’t love beauty, and she is no exception.
Just as Xu Zijin was giving Lu Jiayu a hair flower, Lu Hanzhou opened his bag and handed two bottles of wine, two packs of snacks, and a pack of cigarettes to the captain...
The captain glared and said, "Hanzhou, what are you doing?"
Lu Hanzhou said seriously: "Uncle, thank you for taking care of my parents over the years, thank you for taking care of my family."
"It's not something valuable, just a token of my appreciation."
"When a nephew gets married, the elders have wedding wine, wedding candy, and wedding cigarettes. This is the custom."
"Yesterday I only gave you candy, but no cigarettes or alcohol. I need to make up for it."
Daqianmen brand cigarettes, Maotai liquor, and White Rabbit milk candy are not something that ordinary people can afford.
After hearing what he said, the captain had no choice but to accept it.
"Don't worry when you are outside. I am here at home. Even those two old people can't bully your parents."
This is what Lu Hanzhou wanted. He looked at the captain sincerely and said, "Thank you, uncle."
The captain’s father is the oldest among the previous generation of the Lu family.
Moreover, this old man is very prestigious in the clan.
With the captain's promise, Lu Hanzhou naturally felt relieved.
"Wife, I'll pick you up tomorrow, wait for me!"
