Chapter 277 Ocean Pearls
Widow Du, holding an enamel pot of tea, walked in front of Lu Yuan and said with a smile:
"This is Yuan Chao's brother. Hello, I am Yuan Chao's mother-in-law. Come on, you have worked hard on the journey. Come and have a cup of tea first."
Lu Yuan looked at the beautiful young woman in front of him, quickly put down his backpack, took the tea with both hands, and said, “Thank you, Auntie, you are so polite. You still make tea for me at this late hour.”
Wang Yuanchao interrupted and said, "Brother Yuan, let me introduce you. This is my mother-in-law. Her last name is Du. You can just call her Aunt Du."
"Hello, Aunt Du, my name is Lu Yuan, and I am Yuan Chao's brother.
This time I came in a hurry and without any preparation.
These are some sea pearls I picked up when I was fishing on the island. I think they are a gift for you. I hope you don’t mind.”
After saying that, Lu Yuan handed a handful of six three-centimeter pearls in his hand to Widow Du.
Widow Du was shocked when she saw the huge pearls. They were too precious and valuable. She said palely, "Lu Yuan, hello. I welcome you to my home. But these pearls are too precious. I cannot accept them.
Take it back quickly."
Lu Yuan smiled and pushed back the hand that Widow Du handed over, and said firmly:
"Auntie Du, what's so precious about it? I really picked it up on the beach. It's not precious at all. I was afraid that you would despise me for not spending money on this pearl.
Haha, Aunt Du, as long as you like it, put it away quickly."
Widow Du saw that Lu Yuan was so determined to push forward, and she didn't know what to do. She could only look at Wang Yuanchao. Wang Yuanchao nodded at Widow Du and said:
"Mom, Brother Yuan's father and my father were comrades-in-arms, close friends for life and death. Uncle Lu treated me like his own child since I was a child, and Brother Yuan and I are like brothers. You are my mother-in-law, so there is no need to be so formal. Just keep it to yourself."
Widow Du was slightly delighted when she saw this. How could a woman really not like gold and silver jewelry? Moreover, such large pearls were even more scarce in the inland areas. After Wang Yuanchao spoke, Widow Du put them away helplessly.
Wang Yuanchao then said to Lu Yuan:
"Brother Yuan, this is your sister-in-law Zhang Yuanyuan, my wife."
Zhang Yuanyuan stood beside Wang Yuanchao and smiled at Lu Yuan's beautiful face, saying:
"Brother Yuan, hello, I'm Zhang Yuanyuan. I often hear Yuan Chao talking about you at home. This time I finally meet you. You have to stay at home longer this time."
"Haha, sister-in-law, hello, Yuan Chao is so lucky to have married such a good wife like you.
In the future, Brother Yuan will support you if you have any problems. If Yuan Chao treats you badly, just tell Brother Yuan and I will help you teach that kid Yuan Chao a lesson, haha.
Come, sister-in-law, we came in a hurry this time, you can play with these beads, I will come next time and give you more gifts. "
Zhang Yuanyuan subconsciously glanced at Wang Yuanchao, and after seeing Wang Yuanchao nodded slightly, she smiled generously and said:
"Thank you, Brother Yuan. Then my sister-in-law would like to thank you for your kindness."
"Haha, we're family, so why are you being polite? Here, take it."
After both sides had introduced themselves, Wang Yuanchao said:
"Mom, wife, come hold the baby with my brother Yuan and keep him warm. It's getting late. Please clean up the left wing and let Brother Yuan stay there first. We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything else."
"Okay, Yuan Chao, hold the cub well."
"Come here, Brother Yuan, this is Nuan Nuan, my little niece, come and hug her."
"Hi, my little niece. I like you. Come, Uncle Yuan, give us a hug."
When Widow Du and Zhang Yuanyuan saw the two people holding the children, they hurried to clean up the room.
Wang Yuanchao held Zaizai in his arms, shaking him up and down, and said,
"Brother Yuan, the one in my hand is my brother, his full name is Wang Xiangqian, and his nickname is Zaizai.
The one in your hand is my younger sister, her full name is Wang Xiangqian, her nickname is Nuannuan."
"Okay, okay, Yuan Chao, congratulations, you have a son and a daughter. Uncle Wang now has a successor.
At that time, you refused to go to the northwest with us. My parents were most worried that your uncle would not treat you well and that you would not grow up.
Now, not only have you grown up healthy, but you have also become very capable.
He became a factory manager at a young age.
He not only married such a beautiful wife, but also had a son and a daughter.
I envy your life. "
Everyone pursues a different life. Wang Yuanchao naturally knew that Lu Yuan's envy was fake, and he was really happy for himself, so he asked: "Brother Yuan, how about you? Have you solved your personal problems?"
“Hi, my personal problem was solved by the organization.
Your sister-in-law works in our art troupe. Her name is Yi Rong. My child is older than yours. He is already over three years old. He is a young boy and very naughty. "
"Haha, congratulations, congratulations, Brother Yuan, when can you be transferred out from the island?"
Lu Yuan sighed inexplicably:
"The environment is not good now. It is safer for me to stay on the island. In addition, I was promoted to deputy regiment commander last year. The head of our regiment will probably be transferred next year. My old leader hopes that I can stay on the island to guard the front line of national defense, so I may not be able to leave in the short term."
Wang Yuanchao listened and said with a sigh: "That's good. Revolutionary soldiers defend their country. It is because of soldiers like you, Brother Yuan,
We ordinary people have the peaceful and happy living environment we have today.
But Brother Yuan, you have a family now, so if you encounter danger, you must pay attention to your safety, understand?"
"Hey, don't worry, your brother Yuan is very capable, he is the number one in the district in martial arts performance, you think I'm joking."
Wang Yuanchao knew what was going on, but he was still surprised and said exaggeratedly: "Oh my, oh my, please forgive me for not recognizing the real master, it turns out that the King of Soldiers has arrived.
Oh, oh, oh, this is really a neglect."
Lu Yuan looked at Wang Yuanchao's show of affection with a bad temper, punched him lightly in the chest, and said:
"What are you doing, kid? Do you want to practice with me?"
Hey, Wang Yuanchao's current strength is incredible. He is not comparable to Lu Yuan with his bare hands. He doesn't want to really hit Lu Yuan, so he waved his hands and said repeatedly:
"Hey, no, no, I'm warning you, I'm a civilian now, and soldiers are here to protect civilians, not for you to fight me."
"You are just good at talking, kid. But I know your feelings. I will protect myself in the future.
Don't worry, kid." After saying this, Lu Yuan felt warm in his heart because of the care from his family.
The nights in Northeast China are very cool, neither hot nor cold. In addition, there are no mosquitoes in Wang Yuanchao's yard, so Wang Yuanchao and Lu Yuan stay in the yard and chat comfortably.
After the young wife and mother-in-law had tidied the room, Wang Yuanchao arranged for Lu Yuan to go into the room to rest. Then Wang Yuanchao asked his mother-in-law to go to the right wing with two quilts. He planned to let his mother-in-law sleep in the right wing for the next few days.
