Before Wang Guihua could say anything, Cheng Xiaolong, who had just run into the kitchen, hugged her legs and said:
"Grandma, are you going to town? I want to go too. I miss Xiaohu so much. Can I go see him?"
Wang Guihua patted his head gently and said, "You're everywhere! It's so cold and the road is so far, so it's better not to go. Wait a while, when your uncle's factory has a holiday, Xiaohu will come back with him."
After scolding Xiaolong, Wang Guihua glared at Cheng Mingyue: "And you, you're so happy to stay in bed at home, and you're still thinking about going to town. You're just talking nonsense all day long."
Cheng Mingyue smiled and said nothing.
To be honest, she regretted it after she said she was going to town. It was indeed far and cold, and she was only good at talking big.
Xiaolong was a little disappointed, but since his aunt didn't say anything, he knew he definitely couldn't go today. He took a small bowl of Laba porridge and sat at the table to eat.
After Laba Festival, time passed faster and before we knew it, it was already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
The house has been very busy these days, busy sweeping the dust and steaming buns, dumplings, and various sweet bowls.
The so-called sweet bowl is steamed glutinous rice with brown sugar, sweet potato with brown sugar, and some miscellaneous things that are steamed in advance and can be heated up when entertaining relatives during the New Year.
After all this is done, it's time to cook the meat today.
This year, the family bought ten kilograms of pork, which is already a luxury. It was thanks to Cheng Xiangnan's job at a meat processing plant that they were able to get it. Otherwise, even if they fought hard, they might not be able to get even one kilogram.
As soon as the meat was cooked, Wang Guihua took out a piece of it, cut a large piece from it, put it in a bowl and handed it to Cheng Mingyue, saying with a smile:
"Yue'er, bring it to the table and eat it."
Cheng Mingyue happily responded and called the two little guys: "Little Dragon and Little Tiger, come over and eat some meat."
In fact, Cheng Mingyue is not really greedy for meat. She just likes this kind of atmosphere, which is very down-to-earth.
The two little guys stopped playing and rushed to the kitchen in a hurry, and then consciously washed their hands and faces first.
After finishing the cleaning, he sat down on the small stool obediently.
Cheng Mingyue tore off a large piece and handed it to each of them, and the two little guys started eating happily.
Cheng Mingyue came to Wang Guihua with the bowl, tore off a small piece and handed it to Wang Guihua's mouth: "Mom, you eat too."
Wang Guihua opened her mouth and ate it, feeling sweeter than eating honey. Cheng Mingyue then tore a piece off and fed it to Zhang Hongying and Zhang Lan who were busy. They were both very happy.
In recent years, they feel that their lives are so comfortable. Their parents-in-law, sister-in-law, husband and son all make them feel very comfortable. The family is harmonious and happy, which is so nourishing.
They still have a lot of private money in their hands, so they always feel at ease when they sleep and smile in their dreams.
After a while, the village chief, Cheng Xiangdong and Cheng Xiangnan also came into the kitchen and helped together. The kitchen was very warm.
"Knock knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.
"You guys go ahead and do your work, I'll go take a look." The village chief got up and went to open the door.
I couldn't hear clearly what he was saying. After a while, the village chief came back with a very unhappy look on his face.
Cheng Mingyue was about to ask what happened when she saw Lu Chen's face appear behind the village chief.
Cheng Mingyue didn't know what expression she should make, so she could only lower her head in silence.
Lu Chen rushed to Cheng Mingyue first, his voice low and magnetic, with a hint of inexplicable emotion: "Mingyue, I'm back."
"Humph! You still remember to come back? I thought you were dead out there!"
Cheng Xiangnan curled his lips and said sarcastically.
The village chief frowned and glared at Cheng Xiangnan, "Shut up your crow mouth, what are you talking about!"
To be honest, when the village chief saw Lu Chen again, he felt very uncomfortable and wanted to punch him.
But he had his difficulties. He could see that his Yue'er had deep feelings for Lu Chen, so how could he really hit him? If he really made him alienate Yue'er, wouldn't he become a sinner?
Cheng Xiangnan was yelled at by his father, and he felt even more dissatisfied. He said stubbornly:
"Dad, why are you scolding me? He's been gone for two years without a word. Now that he's back, what did you do? I think he deserves to be punished!"
Cheng Xiangdong also felt that what his brother said was right, and he glared at Lu Chen with such a fierce look that he really wanted to pounce on Lu Chen and bite him.
Zhang Hongying and Zhang Lan rubbed their hands, not knowing what to do. They looked at this and that.
Seeing Cheng Mingyue just lowered her head and said nothing, Lu Chen's heart sank. He said anxiously:
"Mingyue, I can explain. Please don't ignore me, okay?"
Cheng Mingyue sneered: "I don't need your explanation. Our agreement will expire in three years. You can come back in three years.
Also, our family is preparing things for the New Year, so we won't keep you here. Please do as you please!"
After Cheng Mingyue finished speaking, she returned to her room, closed the door, and slipped back into the space.
Cheng Mingyue ran tirelessly in the space, round and round. She just ran mechanically with a blank mind.
She didn't know how she should face Lu Chen when she saw him again.
In the past two years, she has tried her best to clear the memory of Lu Chen from her mind, so why is she so confused again when he comes back?
She hates it so much!
She hated Lu Chen for leaving without saying a word, hated him for not having any news in the past two years, and hated him even more for appearing now as if nothing had happened.
What did he take her for?
What about kittens and puppies? When you like them, you hold them in your arms and touch their fur, but when you don’t like them, you kick them away?
Cheng Mingyue didn't know that after she left, Lu Chen was beaten up severely by the two brothers Cheng Xiangdong and Cheng Xiangnan.
The two men deliberately avoided Lu Chen's face and attacked him. Lu Chen did not resist and was beaten and kicked by them.
The village chief felt that it was enough, so he shouted at the two of them: "Enough, you really want to cause a death!"
The two brothers of the Cheng family stopped at this point, but they still looked at Lu Chen with unfriendly eyes.
The village chief frowned so hard that he could almost pinch a fly to death. After a while, he asked, "What are your plans now?"
Lu Chen patted the dirt off his body and said in a clear and firm voice: "I'm here to pick up Mingyue and take her to Beijing."
Cheng Xiangnan got mad again and said angrily: "Just pick her up if you say so. Doesn't my Yue'er know how to get to Beijing City? Why do I need you to pick her up? Who the hell are you?!"
Not only Cheng Xiangnan was furious, Cheng Xiangdong was no less angry: "You just said to pick up my sister to go to Beijing and that's it. What do you think of my Yue'er? You think you can come when you call and send away when you dismiss? Then you have made a wrong calculation. My Yue'er is our family's treasure, you can't bully her at will."
The village chief was also somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Chen's statement. He should have an explanation for the lack of news in the past two years. It's not possible for them to take someone away just because you say you're coming to pick them up. That would be too spineless of them.
Where did Lu Chen put Yue'er again?
