The next morning, Gu Mingze woke up early.
After he got dressed and saw that the two children were awake, he asked them to move gently so as not to wake up his wife.
Just like that, one adult and two children tiptoed out while Lu Qingyan was sleeping.
"What are you doing? You're just like thieves." Mother Lu came out to prepare dinner when she saw three people quietly walking out of her daughter's door and asking.
"Xiaoyan is still asleep, so I'll ask the two children to be quiet and not wake her up." Gu Mingze heard his mother-in-law's words and said with a smile without feeling embarrassed at all.
"You're really spoiling her more and more." Mother Lu rolled her eyes when she heard her son-in-law's words.
"It's not that she got up too early yesterday. There's nothing to do today, so let her sleep a little longer." Gu Mingze walked to the kitchen and scooped water into the washbasin while smiling.
"That's right. Xiaoyan hasn't gotten up too early in the past few years. I guess she couldn't stand it when we suddenly asked her to get up so early yesterday." Mother Lu nodded in agreement when she heard her son-in-law's words.
"Yeah. That's what I was thinking too, so I thought of letting her sleep a little longer today." After saying this, Gu Mingze called the two children who were playing outside to come in and wash their faces and brush their teeth.
"After dinner, I will take the children up the mountain to avoid waking up Xiaoyan." Mother Lu thought that her eldest son would be getting married in two days, so she took advantage of the time today to go to the mountain and see if she could dig some wild vegetables, or find something else so that she could add some dishes when the time comes.
It just so happened that her daughter was sleeping at home, so in order not to wake her up, she decided to take the children to the mountain.
"That's fine, as long as you don't mind the trouble, Mom." Gu Mingze agreed with his mother-in-law's suggestion to take the children up the mountain, and agreed with a smile.
After Lu's mother prepared the meal, she called a few people to come and eat.
"Old man, take the money and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there is anything you need to buy. Even though this is Dashan's second marriage, we still need to prepare two tables." Mother Lu sat on a stool and said to the old man.
"I understand." Although Father Lu thought it didn't matter whether his eldest son had a wedding ceremony for the second time, since his wife said so, he decided to just go shopping.
This saves me from having to say a few words and causing the old woman to be unhappy.
"Dad, I'll go with you after dinner." Gu Mingze listened to the conversation between the two and said
"You don't need to go. This is your elder brother's wedding. Why do you need to go?" Mother Lu refused without waiting for the old man to speak.
What I was thinking was that if I let my son-in-law go to the commune with me, then the money and notes that the old man used to buy things would definitely be given by my son-in-law.
So she had to stop her son-in-law from going, after all, it was his eldest son's wedding.
If I let my son-in-law buy everything, and outsiders find out, they might gossip about me.
For one thing, if she asks you to help buy something this time, and the news gets to her mother-in-law, who knows what the Gu family might do again.
So let the son-in-law stay at home honestly.
"Okay then, I won't go. But, Mom and Dad, if you have any problems, just let me know. I'm also a member of our family, so I'll definitely help if I can." Seeing that his mother-in-law didn't want him to go, Gu Mingze nodded and said that if there was anything, she could find him.
If I can help, I will definitely help.
"Got it. Let's eat quickly. If we keep talking, the food will get cold." Mother Lu nodded and told them to stop talking and eat quickly.
After everyone finished their meal, Lu Qingshan went to work as usual.
Father Lu went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
After Lu's mother packed up everything, she took a vegetable basket and a small shovel, and called a few children to carry their small baskets and go up the mountain with her.
Gu Mingze had nothing to do, so he went to the small garden to pick some vegetables, sat in the yard and picked them to eat at noon.
It was almost noon when Lu Qingyan woke up in a daze. She looked around and saw that she was the only one on the kang. She rubbed her eyes and sat up.
I put the pillow behind my back and leaned there to stay awake for a while before I changed my clothes, combed my hair, got up, put on my shoes, and went out.
"Wife, have you thought about it?" Gu Mingze was sitting in the yard picking vegetables. After hearing the noise, he turned around and looked at his wife who came out and asked with a smile.
"It's almost noon, why didn't you wake me up?" Lu Qingyan asked as she walked towards the kitchen.
"There's nothing to do today. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't let mother and the children wake you up." Gu Mingze put down the dishes in his hands and went to the kitchen to get water for his wife to wash her face.
"Oh, where are mother and the children?" Lu Qingyan finished washing up and came out to see that Gu Mingze was the only one at home, so she asked in confusion.
"I went to the mountains, but I think I'll be back soon." After saying this, Gu Mingze looked at his wife and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook you something?"
"No need, my brother will be back from work soon. Let's eat together then, so that I don't have to cook for him now and then cook again later." Lu Qingyan didn't want to trouble the man, so she said she would wait for her brother to come back from work and eat together.
"Okay, if you're hungry, there's food in the house. You can eat some first." Gu Mingze said, and then sat on the small stool and continued to pick vegetables.
"Dad has gone to the commune, right?" Lu Qingyan saw the man picking vegetables there, so she went to the side, picked up a small stool, sat next to the man and asked
"Well, the wedding day is coming in two days. Dad has to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. Otherwise, there will be nothing at home, and it would be bad to let a relative or friend come over to look after it." Gu Mingze told his father-in-law that he wanted to help, but his father-in-law wouldn't let him, saying that it was his eldest brother-in-law's wedding and he wouldn't let them help.
He thought about it and felt that it was indeed not a good idea to ask his elder brother-in-law to help and pay for the purchase, so he let his father-in-law go by himself.
"Then did you say how many tables you want to set up at home?" When Lu Qingyan heard that they were going to have a banquet at home, she felt like her head was about to explode.
I like quietness and sleeping in, but if there is a wedding banquet at home, many people will definitely come every day.
Not only would I not be able to sleep in, but I would also have to help out.
When he thought of this, he raised his hand and rubbed his brow and said, "If we hold a banquet at home, I will have to get up earlier every day, so as not to get up late and let others take away our jobs."
"Well, it's just for a few days. Let's be patient. Once we bring the bride home, we can go back to the army." Gu Mingze felt sorry for his wife, but it was no use.
If they don't prepare for such a big event in life, they will easily be blamed.
"Well, I'll bear with it. It's okay." Lu Qingyan felt that she could bear it, but on the premise that she should not do too much work.
Otherwise, she would get exhausted and have to ask her mother and husband to help take care of her, which would be terrible.
