Chapter 695: Being Envied and Hated
Xu Zijin didn't know about this. At this time, they were preparing to celebrate the New Year at Lu's house.
When her eldest son and daughter-in-law suddenly came back, Mother Lu was so happy that she ran around looking for food everywhere.
Suddenly, everyone in the brigade knew that the couple had returned.
"No, I heard that it was Damao who drove the car back this time. He said it was specially allocated to him by the army."
The villagers were shocked: "Wow, Damao has really become a high-ranking official now."
Then someone said: "Da Mao is so blessed, he is an official and has a beautiful wife. I envy him so much."
Just then…
"Humph, what's the point of being an official? His wife has been married for almost two years and she hasn't even conceived a single egg. Can being an official help her carry on the family line?"
The person who said this was Lu Hanzhou's third aunt Jiang Hehua.
"That's right. You're going to have no descendants, and you still want to be an official! If you don't have any descendants, I'll give you this official position. Do you want to be an official?"
Liu Shengju followed closely.
These two people now hate the Lu family to the sky.
This year, Lu's mother helped several families buy ceiling fans. When they heard what the two said, someone immediately refuted.
"I say, what are you two talking about? It's just that they haven't had a child for two years after marriage. Xiao Xu is still so young, why are you in such a hurry?"
"It's from the old ninth family in Shangwuchang. You guys don't know it, do you?"
"She gave birth in the fourth year after she got married, and she gave birth to three big fat boys in a row. Is that less than your family?"
As soon as these words fell, someone immediately took up the topic.
"That's right. Lan Fang gave birth to twins. Maybe Damao and his wife will be like their mother and give birth to twins, a boy and a girl!"
"You two have no grudge against Damao and his wife, right? Why do you curse them like this?"
"They are jealous! They have pink eye!"
Everyone scolded Aunt Lu San and Liu Shengju. They were so angry that their faces turned black, but they didn't dare to refute.
If things get out of hand, something bad will happen.
Aunt Lu and Liu Shengju left in a huff. A group of people spat at them: "Who are you?"
"Yeah, pink eye disease, don't associate with people like this anymore, they might kill you one day."
Isn’t it?
If you are so mean to your own family, how can you be nice to outsiders?
Everyone was on guard against Aunt Lu San and Liu Shengju...
Xu Zijin didn't know that after Lu Yulan became the topic of the entire team yesterday, he and his wife became the focus of discussion again today.
At this time, she was teasing Lu Sanmao's daughter: Qingdou.
"You are so beautiful, little beauty Aomame. You are definitely the most beautiful girl in our team!"
“Hahaha~~~”
Lu Yuzhu burst into laughter: "Sister-in-law, the scope of the team flower is too small. If you want to be one, you have to be at least the county flower."
"Our Aomame is so pretty, she will definitely be the most beautiful girl in the county in the future!"
Today Qingdou was wearing the new clothes that Lu Yulan brought back yesterday. They were all produced by the space: bright red New Year picture doll costumes.
Yesterday, Xu Zijin thought that he would not be able to come back for the New Year, so he bought three new sets of clothes, three pairs of shoes, and a sweater for the children and asked Lu Yulan to bring them back.
The little guy put on a set today.
I have to say, the little green beans are really pretty.
Her father is handsome and her mother is pretty, but she is prettier than them.
The little girl, who is less than three months old, has big, sparkling eyes and a tender little face. She is extremely cute.
When the aunt and sister-in-law were playing with the child, Long Xing happened to come out of the kitchen. When she heard this, she felt complicated.
Growing up in a family that favors boys over girls, she had this idea in her bones, so she always thought: How nice it would be if this was a son.
——It’s a pity that my stomach is not cooperating.
Long Xing lowered her eyes: Fortunately, my sister-in-law didn't give birth to a child, otherwise she would really have no face to stay in the Lu family.
It only took half a day for Lu Hanzhou to get home, and since he had no time to visit relatives, he drove to pick up his grandparents.
Upon learning that the couple had returned, the brigade captain and his wife, the brigade secretary and his wife, and the militia company commander and his wife all came over.
Everyone said that they must invite Lu Hanzhou and his wife to their home for a New Year's dinner.
Upon learning that they would be returning to the army tonight, several families ran back to their homes.
After a while, the people delivering meat, chickens and ducks came to the door again.
"You don't want us to trouble you and your wife anymore."
"That's right. We don't have anything in the countryside, but we do have chickens and ducks. Xiao Xu must accept them."
Such enthusiasm made Xu Zijin very embarrassed, but he had no choice but to accept it.
After everyone left, she looked at her mother-in-law and smiled awkwardly: "Mom, I owe you so much. I'm really sorry."
But Mother Lu smiled and said, "Why do you care? Don't worry, they all know what's going on."
"Take it. This is a gift from several uncles."
"If you don't take it, they will feel uncomfortable."
All right.
Since his mother-in-law said so, Xu Zijin had no choice but to let it go.
He sent all the chickens and ducks to the backyard and told Lu Simao to bring them over on the fourth day of the New Year.
This year, the Lu family was more lively than last year, and they set off a lot of firecrackers.
Xu Zijin was very generous. He gave each child 20 yuan as New Year's money and 100 yuan each to the grandparents.
The two elders refused to accept it until Lu's mother asked them to.
Xu Zijin originally wanted to give a red envelope to his parents-in-law as well, but was stopped by Lu Hanzhou.
He said that if you send it, it would be like slapping your second brother and his wife in the face.
There was no choice but to secretly put a red envelope under her mother-in-law's pillow when she was about to leave.
It was exactly six o'clock when they finished their New Year's Eve dinner. After taking care of their three children, the couple drove back to the army.
It was only nine o'clock in the evening when they got home. The two of them went to the leader's house with the dried fish and dried vegetables made by Lu's mother.
"Just came back?"
The head of the group's family and his daughter Gu Nian are watching the Spring Festival Gala, which is the first gala broadcast live by the national television station.
The novel format and interesting program were widely circulated two or three months ago.
At this time, the team leader's family, his daughter Gu Nian, and his youngest son Gu Jinfan were staring at their 14-inch black-and-white TV, watching it with great interest.
The leader's family members turned around when they heard their husband talking to someone outside.
When she saw it was Lu Hanzhou and his wife, she immediately came out to greet them with a smile on her face.
Xu Zijin quickly handed over the food: "I just got home. This is what my mother made. I'll give it to you to try."
As soon as the couple entered the door, Gu Nian went to pour tea.
The head of the group's family immediately asked the couple to sit down: "Come on, come on, let's watch TV together. This year's program is really good. Why don't you buy a TV?"
"By the way, Xiao Xu, don't you have an industrial ticket?"
Xu Zijin didn't want to say that she looked down on televisions of this era. Even if they were color TVs, the picture quality was very bad for the eyes.
You can't just tell the truth like that.
"Sister-in-law, it's like this. The children at home are all in school. I'm worried that once I buy a TV, they will lose their focus on studying."
