Chapter 204 Drama
Queen Yan Xin, Yan Bin, and Yan Ping were immediately embarrassed when these words came out.
Yan Ping still said to Lin Shu with a firm tone that it turned out that it was her nephews and nieces who caused her grandson to have acute gastroenteritis.
She laughed awkwardly, "You kid, why didn't
you say so earlier?" Uncle Lu's face became serious, and he looked at Hu Xiaole and said, "Xiao Le, then tell me, is it for your own good that your aunt doesn't let you eat ice cream?"
Hu Xiaole's temper weakened, and he whispered, "She... is just digging my door."
Uncle Lu: "Then do you have diarrhea?"
Hu Xiaole: "Yes."
Uncle Lu: "Is it a good thing to eat so much ice cream?"
Yan Ping saw that her grandson was so scared that his head drooped and he didn't even dare to eat the egg custard, so she hurriedly said, "Okay, Old Lu, the child is so pitiful, don't blame him."
She scolded her niece and nephew again, "You two are the same, you are too good to the child."
Uncle Lu: "Then you still blame Shaotang's wife!"
Xiaolin was ignorant to give the child ice cream, If the child has diarrhea, then feeding the child by one's own family is too good for the child?
Yan Ping's face was embarrassed.
Gao Tingting tried to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Uncle Lu, my aunt is just too concerned, it's not intentional."
Uncle Lu's face lightened up a little, "You guys eat slowly, I'll go out for a walk."
As soon as he left, Yan Ping's expression fell.
Yan Xin and Gao Tingting hurried to comfort her.
To be honest, Yan Ping didn't want to come to the countryside at all. Since she had left, what was there to come back for?
Especially Uncle Lu wanted to come back to repair the tomb and be buried next to his parents in his hometown a hundred years later. But he didn't think about it. He has two wives. If he buries them a hundred years later, should he let her be buried as well? Or did he only consider himself and wanted to be buried with his first wife without considering her at all?
Besides, if he stayed in the capital, the government would provide him with a public cemetery, so he would not be without a place to be buried a hundred years later. Why did he have to go back to his hometown?
Anyway, she... didn't want to be buried in this strange countryside.
She would rather stay in the capital's cemetery. She
was a little unhappy at first, but she didn't say it out loud. After coming to Qizhou, things were not so smooth.
She was unhappy to see Uncle Lu and Lu Shaotang so close. Now Hu Xiaole was sick again. She just said something to Lin Shu in a hurry, and he frowned and was unhappy. Naturally, she was even more unhappy.
But after all, they have been married for twenty years. Even if it was a second marriage, it was much longer than the time she had been with her first husband. She and Uncle Lu naturally had feelings for each other.
Although Uncle Lu is nearly 20 years older than her, he is strong and energetic, and the couple does not have the discord that other old husbands and young wives have.
Naturally, their feelings are deeper.
Although she is dissatisfied, she will not get angry at this time. After
all, she agreed to accompany the old man to the countryside. Another important reason why she is willing to accompany him to the countryside is that she does not want to give Lu Shaotang the opportunity to get close to Lao Lu alone.
Lu Shaocai is useless, but he will cry when he sells himself. What if she takes the old man back after he cries?
She asked Yan Xin to look after the child, and she went out to find Uncle Lu. After a short walk, she saw Uncle Lu chatting with several veterans in the backyard.
After Uncle Lu finished chatting, she walked forward, took his hand, and said softly: "Old Lu, you are not young anymore, don't get angry easily. The doctor said that you should relax now, don't meddle in other people's affairs, and don't get angry. It's not good for your cardiovascular system."
Uncle Lu: "I'm not angry."
Yan Ping glared at him, "The corners of your mouth have drooped to your chin, who do you think can't see it? I'm not really blaming Shaotang's wife, I'm just anxious."
Uncle Lu didn't want to continue the topic, and asked: "Is Xiaole okay?"
Yan Ping: "No big deal."
Uncle Lu: "If he's okay, we'll go back home tomorrow."
Yan Ping helped him to the ward.
Uncle Lu: "You should be closer to Shao Tang."
Yan Ping chuckled, "You are wronging me. I have always treated Shao Tang the same way as you do. I treat him as my own nephew. I say whatever I need to say and call him when I need to. We are very close."
Uncle Lu was satisfied, "That's it. In the future, let Shao Yu get closer to Shao Tang. They should have come on this trip as a sibling as well."
Yan Ping: "They also wanted to come back with you. As soon as I said that, Yingjie and Shaoyu went to ask for leave. But Yingjie was sent by the newspaper to interview border defenders, and Shaoyu and his communications company also had to cooperate with field training, so they were not given leave."
Uncle Lu naturally knew this, "There will be a chance. It will be the same if you come again in the future."
At this time, Lu Shaotang and Lin Shu came back from the cafeteria with food and invited them to go back for dinner.
Yan Ping immediately said enthusiastically: "Shaotang, you have to stay with us and delay work. I think work should be your priority. Just send an orderly to drive for us."
Lu Shaotang: "It's arranged at work. There is no urgent task these two days. Don't worry."
Yan Ping smiled at Lin Shu again: "Xiao Lin, don't take it to heart if your aunt misunderstood you just now. Xiaole's parents are busy with work and have no time to take care of him. He ruined his health when he was a child. As a grandmother, I can't help but be more nervous."
Lin Shu didn't expect Yan Ping to be so easy to talk to suddenly. She used to act like a mother-in-law to her.
When the other party extended an olive branch, she naturally would not put on airs and immediately gave positive feedback, "Aunt, I'm only worried about the child, and I can't think about other things. Xiaole's intestines and stomach need to be taken care of. After all, gastrointestinal damage is irreversible. Such an injury will take at least half a month to recover."
Yan Ping didn't expect that she actually understood this. She was a little surprised and said self-deprecatingly, "Isn't it? This old man is taking care of children for his children. " Oh, I have to worry so much. No matter if the child gets bumped or bruised, the parents will inevitably feel distressed, and I will be blamed."
She patted Uncle Lu lightly, and her tone seemed to be coquettish to seek approval, "Old Lu, don't you agree? People say that being a daughter-in-law is difficult, but in fact, being a mother-in-law is also difficult sometimes."
Lin Shu couldn't help but admire it. No wonder Yan Ping was able to hold Uncle Lu, who was married for the second time, tightly in her hands. She is really capable.
Yan Ping not only made Uncle Lu treat the son she brought as his own, but also raised his son with all her heart, paid for his education, arranged his marriage, arranged a job, and raised grandchildren for his son.
She gave Uncle Lu a signal, making him feel that she depended on him and was closest to him, even his previous sons had to take a back seat.
She complained to Uncle Lu about her son and his wife, asking Uncle Lu to support her and take care of her son. Uncle Lu would also take responsibility for her son and pay more attention to him.
Lin Shu said she had learned something.
They returned to the ward and had dinner together.
Hu Xiaole saw that there was chicken and egg custard and wanted to eat it again.
He had been on IV drip, and now he was no longer in pain or itchy, but he started to lose his temper again, a typical example of someone who only remembers to eat but not to be beaten.
Lin Shu saw the lunch boxes on the table, and there was a box of egg custard that had been eaten up. "You vomited so much at noon, your stomach is weak and you need to rest, you can't eat anymore. This egg custard is not a good thing. When I return to my hometown tomorrow, I will make sesame oil egg custard for you every day."
Hu Xiaole still wanted to act coquettishly with Yan Ping.
Yan Ping: "Your aunt is right, be obedient. If you listened to her and ate less ice cream before, this wouldn't happen."
Gao Tingting was watching from the side, and she didn't expect Yan Ping's attitude towards Lin Shu to change so drastically, and she was immediately a little unhappy. She turned her head to look at Yan Xin and gave her a look, hoping that Yan Xin would stand up and not let Lin Shu take the limelight and step on her niece.
What can Yan Xin do? She and her brother gave Hu Xiaole ice cream and soda, which made Hu Xiaole vomit and have diarrhea. Her aunt must be blaming them in her heart.
Yan Bin couldn't help it for several times, and finally got the chance to secretly stare at Lin Shu. Before, he thought she was a beauty at first sight, but he would get bored and uninterested after looking at her for a long time.
Now he found that she is the type that becomes more beautiful the more you look at her.
After dinner, Gao Tingting removed the needle for Hu Xiaole.
The doctor brought medicine for Hu Xiaole, and explained a few precautions, and also handled the discharge procedures for them.
Yan wanted to reminisce with Gao Tingting, so he told Yan Ping that he would go back later, and asked Yan Bin to accompany her.
Lu Shaotang drove Uncle Lu and others back to the guesthouse first.
Looking at the direction where the jeep left, Gao Tingting sneered, "How heartless, just like that year."
Yan Xin looked sad.
Gao Tingting turned her head to look at her, with a look of defending injustice, and said angrily: "Yan Xin, he played with your feelings back then, and you just let it go? You are really kind! Aunt Yan is the same, not only did she not blame him, but she was so close to him."
Yan Bin looked at the direction of the jeep foolishly, and heard the words curiously: "Sister, have you and Lu Shaotang ever been in a relationship?"
Yan Xin whispered and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense."
Gao Tingting sent Yan Bin aside, and she took Yan Xin to the pavilion behind the hospital to talk.
"Yan Xin, don't you want to teach Lin Shu a lesson?"
Yan Xin: "I'm already... married, what else is there to worry about? What about you, why haven't you married yet?"
Gao Tingting sneered: "What's the point of getting married? Giving birth to children for a man, cooking, washing stinky socks and pants?"
In this world, no man except the man she loves can take advantage of her.
Yan Xin seemed to be poked in a sore spot, her face changed, and
she remained silent. Gao Tingting: "We have to think of a way to make Lin Shu feel uncomfortable."
Yan Xin: "I'm only staying with my aunt for a few days and then I have to go back to Beijing. How can I make her feel uncomfortable?"
They all knew the best way. If Lu Shaotang betrayed her, that would be... the best outcome. Unfortunately, it would be useless if Lu Shaotang didn't cooperate.
If Lu Shaotang's way doesn't work, then we have to start from other aspects.
But Lin Shu is in the countryside and doesn't live in the city often. Even if they do something, it's useless if she doesn't know about it.
If you make trouble for others, they have to feel uncomfortable, right?
Gao Tingting: "Can you get Lin Shu to the hospital, for example, let her be an intern nurse, so that I can take care
of her." She can humiliate her to her heart's content.
Yan Xin was stunned, "Is it impossible?"
Arranging a job is not something they can do.
Gao Tingting: "You can talk to your aunt and ask her to ask your uncle for help. Tell her that Lin Shu is so talented and it's a waste of talent to stay in the countryside. She should work as a nurse in the hospital."
Yan Xin: "But I think Lin Shu is very lazy and doesn't want to work at all. Before, the leaders said that she should go to the city to work, but she didn't seem interested. It seems that Lu Shaotang is spending money to support her and she is enjoying it."
Gao Tingting became even more angry and felt that Lu Shaotang was not worth it. "Such a... useless dodder who only knows how to cling to men, I don't know what Lu Shaotang likes about her." She
really has no weaknesses that make people want to bite her.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Yan Bin who was looking over there. He was also very handsome. An idea flashed in her mind, "You say..."
She muttered to Yan Xin while pulling him.
Yan Xin was shocked: "No, if Lu Shaotang knew, he would have to kill my brother."
Gao Tingting: "What are you afraid of? If Lin Shu is willing, what can Lu Shaotang say? Besides, don't we still have your aunt and uncle? Wait until Lu Shaotang gets angry and divorces, and then let your brother abandon her, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Yan Xin felt that it was not possible, and she also felt that it was not possible rationally, but... it was like a ghost bewitching, and she actually felt that what Gao Tingting said made sense.
She was also happy to see it happen.
She hoped that Lin Shu would be abandoned by Lu Shaotang, and then be trampled under the feet of her brother, and Lin Shu begged her brother not to abandon her, but her brother... that guy would abandon her when he saw Lin Shu's infatuation? Isn't it what she wanted?
She shook her head and threw the idea out. She changed it to a scene where Lin Shu begged her brother, but her brother cruelly abandoned her. She was heartbroken and turned to ask her elder sister-in-law to make the decision for her.
Although... they were not even close, Yan Xin felt a little refreshed. How great
would it be if it was true?
Unfortunately, things were not something she could ask for.
She had prayed day and night, hoping to exchange her husband's life for Lu Shaotang's divorce, and even hoped to exchange her own thirty years of life for Lu Shaotang's love for her.
Unfortunately, none of them succeeded.
The next morning, the leaders of the Qizhou Revolutionary Committee also came to visit Uncle Lu.
Many of the officers in the Revolutionary Committee were retired from the army. Even if they were not in the same army as Uncle Lu at the beginning, since he had come to their territory, they would definitely come to visit.
Lu Shaotang also arranged a vehicle.
His own team members all had work assignments and could not be transferred at will, so he borrowed a driver and a car from the Revolutionary Committee.
The leaders of the Revolutionary Committee naturally gave him face and immediately arranged two small cars and sent a few people to accompany him to help take care of the old leader.
The driver could also serve as an orderly, and the sanitation worker could also serve as a nanny. It was normal to send three or four young cadres to accompany him.
Lu Shaotang decisively refused and only borrowed a car and a driver.
Uncle Lu was very satisfied and praised Lu Shaotang for his principles. "State cadres serve the people, not occupy state resources. Especially since I have retired, I want to be low-key and simple, and don't need to trouble others."
Yan Ping originally wanted to say that three cars were just right, and it was reasonable to bring a few young people to help, but after hearing what the old man said, she had to agree.
She was not so happy in her heart. When Lao Lu's fellow villagers who were equal to or even lower than him returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors, they had at least three or four cars and groups of cadres to accompany them. That was called face.
In her opinion, when you are in office, you should be low-key and travel with a small group of people. Don't be extravagant and wasteful, after all, you are afraid of being reported by competitors.
But you have retired. If you don't have any pomp and circumstance, it only means that you have a bad relationship with people. No one will care about you after you retire.
After retirement, more people will come up to you to compliment you and show your support. That is success and face. It means that you did a good job and were popular when you were in office.
She was proud that many leaders came to visit Uncle Lu, but she was also a little unhappy that Lu Shaotang reduced the pomp and circumstance.
Of course, she didn't think that most of these people came to visit because of Lu Shaotang's face. If Lu Shaotang didn't have a position in the Revolutionary Committee, even if Uncle Lu passed by when he returned home, there might not be so many people visiting.
They had lunch in the private room of the Revolutionary Committee cafeteria, and Lu Shaotang took them back to Lu's village in the afternoon.
Before leaving, Lu Shaotang called the commune and asked someone to deliver a message to Lujiazhuang.
Zhou Weimin was in charge of delivering the message. He almost pedaled his bicycle to sparks, and rushed to Lujiazhuang in a cloud of smoke.
Before he even reached the entrance of the village, Zhou Weimin was startled by the scene.
What a guy!
If you don't know, you might think someone is getting married!
Lu Shaocai was seen wearing a big red silk and a big red flower on his chest. Next to him were Zhao Meifeng, Lu Changfu, Lu Jinling and his second brother Lu Changshou, who were also dressed in the same way.
Not only that, they also held a big wooden sign in their hands, with a big red paper pasted on it, and large brush characters written in black pen: Welcome father home!
Zhou Weimin almost stumbled and fell.
Lu Shaocai shouted, "Postman, did our old man call?"
Zhou Weimin nodded, "Yes, he just left Qizhou and will arrive in the evening. You don't have to wait here so early. Go back and rest first."
The day before yesterday, when Fang Dihua and Fang's mother were sent back, he was delivering mail at Lu's village. He happened to hear Fang Dihua say that Lu's uncle was going to bring his wife and grandson back to bury his parents.
Others were surprised, but Lu Shaocai was ecstatic, crying with joy, and crying bitterly. It was unknown whether he was happy or had suffered a great injustice, as if he wanted to seek justice from Bao.
Fang Dihua didn't know when Uncle Lu and his family would arrive, but Lu Shaocai was so excited that he started to prepare frantically.
He borrowed cloth coupons from everywhere to buy red silk and red cloth, but no one had extra cloth coupons at this time of year. He had no choice but to send Zhao Meifeng to the city to buy expensive red cloth, and then he quickly made red flowers and red draperies.
Not only did he make them for himself, he also begged Father Lu and Fang Dihua to make them. When they were rejected, he wiped his tears and said that his second uncle didn't love him.
In the end, Grandma Fang couldn't stand it anymore, so she said that they were all busy and she had nothing to do, so she worked with him.
So Lu Shaocai did nothing but run to the South Road to wait whenever he had time, just like when his father Lu built a tomb for Lu Shaotang, he ran to the intersection to wait for the leader.
The first day, he didn’t come.
The second day, he didn’t come.
The third day... he was finally coming!
Lu Shaocai was a little depressed at first, but now he was instantly energized, shouting to Zhao Meifeng and his sons and daughters, “Cheer up! Show your best enthusiasm to welcome your grandpa!”
Zhao Meifeng: “I’m going to feed the pigs first.”
Lu Shaocai glared at her, “Didn’t you just feed them? Feed them in the evening.”
Zhao Meifeng: “There are so many pigs, I have to stir the pigs in advance . "It's too late to catch up."
Lu Changfu: "Dad, someone in Houtun asked me to castrate a pig. I can bring the castrated pig back to you as a snack. I will definitely be back before my grandfather returns to the village."
Lu Changfu was frightened by Lu Shaotang at first, and then he was forced to learn by the secretary. He suffered a lot and finally learned it.
Now he is very skilled in helping to castrate pigs and sheep, and he rarely makes mistakes. When
he castrates pigs for others, they either give him food or a few cents. He and the team split the money 40% to 60%, with him 60% and the team 40%. He is happy to do it.
This is real money.
Zhao Meifeng tore off the big red flower and hung it on Lu Shaocai, then ran away with her son.
Now she feeds pigs in the brigade pig farm, and she works very hard because the brigade gives her ten work points!
Those are full work points for strong labor, and only people like Lu Erge can get them.
Now she can get them by feeding pigs, so how can she not feed them well?
Besides, the eyes of the whole village are on her. If she doesn't feed the pigs well, clean the pigsty, etc., anyone can blame her and report her.
She dare not be lazy.
At first, she also disliked the abandoned pigsty because it smelled bad, and didn't want to go, but what else can she do?
The money from the capital was getting less and less. Lu Shaocai stayed at home every other day without working to earn money. Was his family going to starve?
She hooked up with Lu Shaocai because he was the second generation of a leader's family. She thought that marrying him would give her a good life. How could she know that she would be exiled to the countryside?
She hated him every time she thought about it.
But women have great endurance. Even if she hated him, she would not be like Lu Shaocai who gave up and stopped working. She still had to find a way to eat better and live more comfortably, right?
If she did nothing like before, she would not be able to eat well or even have enough to eat.
Now she and Lu Changfu have earned enough work points and can make some money, so they live a comfortable life.
Soon Lu Jinling could not wait any longer.
It's too hot!
The summer solstice is coming soon, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and the sun is scorching.
In order to let grandpa see them at a glance, Dad deliberately stood in a place with a wide view. Without the shade of trees, it was really exposed to the sun.
I can't stand it! As
soon as Lu Jinling left, the younger brother Lu Changshou also ran away.
In the end, only Lu Shaocai was left standing alone under the scorching sun wearing five big red flowers and a pile of red cloth. The high temperature burned the red cloth, and the light refracted on him, turning him into a stone looking at his father.
Soon he was soaked with sweat, his hair was tangled, and the sweat on his temples flowed down his neck.
His vision was a little blurry, as if he saw a jeep coming from the distorted sky, and then his vision went black, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
The old women and men who were waiting to see Uncle Lu at the entrance of the village saw Lu Shaocai fall to the ground, and they all shouted in shock,
"Oh, the former accountant has fainted."
"He must have had heatstroke, hurry up, pinch his Ren Zhong acupoint."
"Go find Doctor Lu!"
The branch secretary who was riding a bicycle to inspect the harvesting of wheat, the picking of wheat ears, and the cultivation of land in each production team happened to pass by and frowned in disdain.
Lu Shaocai was dressed in red, thinking he was very festive, but in his eyes, he was just a little clown. It was shameful
that he had no self-awareness at his age and was not stable at all!
It's no wonder that the chief exiled him to the countryside. If he stayed in Beijing, he might have been laughed at.
So when Lu Shaotang drove to the entrance of Lujiazhuang Village in the afternoon, he saw Father Lu and Fang Dihua with their whole family welcoming Uncle Lu at the entrance of the village, but Lu Shaotang and Zhao Meifeng were the only ones missing.
Lu Shaotang observed Minrui and just glanced at him without saying anything.
Yan Ping couldn't help but mutter to Uncle Lu, "Why don't I see the eldest brother and his wife?"
Uncle Lu's smile, which was originally wide open because he finally arrived at his hometown, also shrank at this time.
The eldest brother is a piece of shit!
Is he trying to slap me in the face or what?
Lin Shu sat in the co-pilot seat, watching the entrance of the village filled with people. Father Lu and Fang Dihua brought their own family members, as well as Lu Changfu and others, the branch secretary and the team leader brought the cadres of the production teams of each brigade, and several people in the brigade who could play gongs and drums played hard there. Almost all the elders with status and seniority in other villages came out, and even those who had no relationship with Uncle Lu came to watch the excitement.
There were really huge crowds of people, and the gongs and drums were deafening!
Lin Shu suddenly felt that she and Lu Shaotang were neglecting their uncle, and they should bring back a team of vehicles to match the scene.
But she was just a little upset. After all, Uncle Lu and Lu Shaotang were both serious and old-fashioned people who didn't like to show off.
"Shaotang, stop." Uncle Lu patted Lu Shaotang on the shoulder and motioned him to stop.
As soon as the jeep stopped, the onlookers in the village rushed forward, just like the rush for train tickets during the Spring Festival.
Father Lu, Fang Dihua, the branch secretary and others were squeezed in.
Deng Daba shouted at the top of his voice: "Welcome the old leader home! Don't squeeze, don't squeeze!"
Lu Changfu and others were squeezed in at the back, and they kept shouting "Grandpa, Grandpa" but couldn't squeeze in.
Lu Changfu went home in a rage.
Uncle Lu didn't wait for Lu Shaotang to open the car door for him. He pushed the door open and got out of the car impatiently. He smiled and said in a loud voice: "Second brother, sister-in-law! Fellow villagers! Hello!"
Everyone said: "Hello, hello, chief!"
Uncle Lu laughed and signaled them not to be polite. "What chief or not, that's a matter outside. At home, we are all family. It's still the same as before."
Everyone thought that it was even more extraordinary in the past. Few people in the village dared to call him by his name. They all called him "Young Master" or "Grandpa".
After all, Uncle Lu learned martial arts since he was a child. He joined the army at a young age and was soon promoted to an officer. Ordinary people in the village really didn't have the time to yell at him casually.
Father Lu held Uncle Lu's hand, his eyes instantly turned red, his voice choked, "Big brother, you're back."
Uncle Lu hugged his second brother tightly, tears flashing in his eyes, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
He didn't want to care about not seeing his eldest son's family, he would scold them later.
Yan Ping stood next to Uncle Lu holding Hu Xiaole, and Father Lu and Fang Dihua took the initiative to call her sister-in-law.
Uncle Lu introduced them again.
Panpan and Tiantian led Hou Wei to squeeze in the crowd. Sister Lin was afraid of squeezing them, so she asked them to move aside, anyway, she would talk to them after the adults finished reminiscing.
They watched their grandma talking to a few strangers, then went around to the back and got into the jeep.
"Mom! Mom!"
"Dad, Dad!"
"Third Aunt, Third Uncle, I missed you so much!"
The three children got in the car, hugged Lin Shu and kissed her, and they all cried while kissing.
Lin Shu hurriedly wiped their tears, "Oh, you miss me so much, I am so touched, I miss you too."
She tried hard to squeeze out tears, but it was too funny and she couldn't squeeze them out at all.
Tiantian and Panpan also burst into laughter, "Mom, you are so fake."
Lin Shu also laughed, she asked Lu Shaotang to drive home, she went down to greet everyone.
Lu Shaotang shook her hand.
Panpan and Tiantian let Hou Wei stay in the car to enjoy the privilege of riding in a big jeep alone. The two of them followed their mother to help entertain the guests. When
they got off the car, Hou Bo, Lu An, Xiuxiu, Hou Ying, and Lu Ping all ran over to greet Lin Shu.
She was not at home, and they missed her so much.
Lin Shu motioned them to go home together. She said to Lu Ping, "Take Lu An to find your grandpa and grandma and say hello to the eldest grandpa and the eldest grandma."
This is the eldest son and grandson of the second house, and it is also etiquette to help entertain the grandfather of the first house.
To avoid Yan Ping's fault, right?
They are introducing each other and recognizing each other.
When Fang Dihua, Lu Laodi and others saw Yan Xin and her brother, they thought they were Yan Ping's children, but they never expected that they were actually nephews and nieces.
Everyone subconsciously wondered: Is Yan Ping afraid that she will be bullied when she comes to her hometown in the countryside, and she has to bring her nieces and nephews with her to support her?
And Yan Ping did have this plan. After all, she came all the way to her husband's hometown. She was unfamiliar with the place and had no foundation here. However, Lu Shaocai was born and raised and had a group of relatives and friends. Who knows whether he would incite his relatives and friends to target her. ? Embarrass her?
She and her nephews and nieces would have someone to help her when talking or doing things, so Lu Shaocai couldn't even think of trying to crowd her out.
She saw the confusion on their faces and immediately smiled and said, "Yingjie and Shaoyu are busy with work and can't take leave, so someone needs to help take care of them on the road. It just so happens that they are free, so I'll let them carry the luggage and run errands. ”
Fang Dihua: “It’s convenient to take the two young children with me when I go out.”
Father Lu explained on behalf of Lu Shaocai and Uncle Lu: “I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep since I knew you were coming back the day before yesterday. I came to the South Road every day to wait for you. He didn't listen even when he was resting. Look, he was waiting here this afternoon, but he got heat stroke and fainted. He was severely dehydrated. I gave him some Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and his wife was busy serving him.
He was also fooled by Lu Shaocai. It's not possible, but after all, he is my nephew, so I have to help him make up for it.
He wanted to call Lu Changfu and Lu Jinling to come over and greet their grandfather, but they were nowhere to be seen. He had to ask the eldest and second brothers Lu and the children Xiuxiu, Lu Ping and others to come over and greet the eldest grandfather and grandmother
. The whole process took quite a while, and no one had time to talk about anything else.
After the recognition, a large group of people came to the door of Lu's house, and the alley was filled with people who wanted to watch the excitement.
My goodness, the whole village has come out. Right?
Uncle Lu did not go to his own house, but was escorted into the second room's front door.
Looking at the second room's thriving yard, with its vegetable fields and flower gardens thriving, Uncle Lu and Yan Ping could not help but exaggeration.
Lu Lao said that it was Lin Shu who planned and managed it. Yan Ping was a little surprised. She didn't expect Lin Shu to be so talented. She was also knowledgeable. She had visited several gardens and scenic spots in the capital when she was a
child.
Except for the pavilions, rockeries and lotus ponds (which are too small to be considered), the other seasonal flowers and plants are well matched. No matter the height, variety, color or even the season of flowering, the entrance is ingenious and well designed. Inside.
This... is simply unbelievable!
Yan Bin became more and more obsessed, but Yan Xin became more and more jealous and upset. He took his daughter and pinched her little hand until it hurt.
The Party Secretary and the Team Leader shouted to the villagers who were watching the excitement from behind, "Be careful, keep your eyes open, and don't trample the vegetable fields, flowers and plants. It's not easy to grow them."
Everyone was busy watching the ground below . When
Father Lu led Uncle Lu and his wife into the house, everyone saw a little old lady. She was wearing a white cotton jacket with
a slanting collar and indigo pants with a special cuff. A pair of single-layered cloth shoes of the same color as the pants.
This is nothing, the key is that the old lady dresses differently.
The old lady has a bun, her gray hair is combed very neatly with water, and she wears a black wavy headband. chaos. What's even more peculiar is that the old lady wears a pair of tortoise-shell framed glasses on her nose, and a silver chain hangs from the legs of the glasses, dangling under her ears. The wire is connected to a metal box at the waist. It looks really cool!
The old lady grinned. Oh, look at her white and neat dentures. They are so neat.
"Auntie, are you okay?" "Ah!" Uncle Lu recognized her immediately without Father Lu introducing her. He stepped forward to support Granny Fang and greeted her repeatedly.
When he was young, Granny Fang helped Granny Lu deliver supplies to him several times. He had met Granny Fang twice. Second-rate.
Grandma Fang chuckled, "Well, you are also good, the eldest son of the Lu family. You are still strong, just like your father, strong as a bull!"
Uncle Lu laughed loudly, and his voice was so loud that Grandma Fang's ears The sound was buzzing, so she quickly turned down the volume on the box.
Uncle Lu talked about a few old people they knew, but unfortunately they were all gone.
Granny Fang: "It's not a big deal, many people are gone, I am an old woman who is still annoying.
Uncle Lu told her to stop saying that. "You are a blessing to everyone because you are healthy and strong."
The days are long in summer, and the sky is still bright at this time.
Uncle Lu did not go into the house. He sat down under the cooking shed in front of the door, reminisced with everyone, chatted with them, asked about their families' situations, the wheat and autumn harvests in recent years, and how the people were having meals.
Old man Lu didn't talk much, and mostly let the branch secretary and the team leader answer. Other old men also replied, which was a great honor!
They would brag about it until they were buried.
After chatting for a while, old man Lu saw Lu Changfu peeking over there. , I quickly called them over to say hello to Grandpa.
Lu Changfu was a spineless man. Although he resented Grandpa for sending them back to his hometown, he also wanted Grandpa to love me again.
"Grandpa!" Lu Changfu called out, and his eyes turned red. "We miss you so much."
Lu Jinling began to sob and wipe her tears, expressing her longing for her grandfather.
However, Lu Changshou was heartless and looked around with a smile.
Yan Ping looked unhappy. The three children only called her Grandpa and not Grandma.
Uncle Lu signaled the children to stop crying, and then asked Lu Shaocai and Zhao Meifeng what they usually do.
Lu Changfu cried so hard that his nose was running . No one could give a good answer.
Father Lu said, "They are very capable. Changfu is now a veterinarian, responsible for the health of the livestock of the entire brigade. Jinling is a primary school teacher, and his mother is in charge of the pig farm of the brigade. They are all very capable."
The branch secretary and the team leader also agreed, saying in a way that Uncle Lu liked to hear, "That's right, they are the main force of the team, everyone gets full work points, and can even earn extra money."
However, Yan Ping was worried in her heart.
She should have been happy that Lu Shaocai's family had something to do, but she subconsciously wondered if the second wife was dissatisfied with the first wife and deliberately made Lu Shaocai do dirty work? She
was also afraid that Lu Shaocai would be dissatisfied with such a dirty job as feeding pigs and would come back crying and ask to go back to the capital. What to do?
She was a little dissatisfied, wondering why the second wife couldn't be more considerate of the first wife and arrange a better and more stable job for Lu Shaocai, so that they would behave themselves and stop making trouble for her.
Factory?
Wouldn’t it be better to let Lu Shaocai work in the incense factory?
Yan Ping was just thinking about it when she heard Lu Shaocai crying outside, "Dad~ You are finally back, your son misses you."
All Yan Ping's thoughts were replaced by vigilance in an instant. What kind of work is this good-for-nothing doing in a perfume factory? He should be sent to dig coal!
Everyone made way for him and saw Lu Shaocai staggering over with a dusty towel wrapped around his head, supported by Zhao Meifeng.
The man in his forties had a sallow complexion and untidy beard, and looked older than Uncle Lu, as if he was dying.
Lin Shu almost laughed out loud when she saw him from the side. She couldn't help it. Lu Shaocai was too...good at providing jokes. You never knew how he wanted to make you laugh to death.
Anyway, there were so many people in the yard, and she didn't need to entertain the guests. She was afraid that she would burst out laughing, so she took her elder sister to hide in the west room to talk.
Fortunately, Lin Shu left in time, because Lu Shaocai stumbled to Uncle Lu and knelt down, "Dad, your son misses you."
