Chapter 284 The Small Abacus of Both Parents
A few days passed in a flash, Liu Mang went through the information at hand again, and after finding no clues, he planned to go back to his hometown.

Liu Mang has handed over the surveillance video and the visit list to Xiaodoubi to collect information for verification, so he hasn't really made a decision on what to do next until Xiaodoubi's clues are clarified. .

Liu Mang didn't tell his family and Lu Hui about his return home, but went back quietly, wanting to surprise them.

"You're back?"

During this period of time, Lu Hui really didn't think about eating and drinking, because she was too boring and had nothing to do. She watched TV every day when she was full, walked around occasionally, and was really worried about being idle like this every day.

Therefore, seeing Liu Mang suddenly appearing in front of her eyes, Lu Hui was pleasantly surprised.

"How about it, do you miss me?" Liu Mang smiled, stepped forward to hug Lu Hui, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days, I think you seem to be plump."

full……

The implication is that she has become fat.

Girls who practice yoga hate the word plump the most.

In their line of work, the only word is sexy.

"Humph!"

Lu Hui snorted coquettishly on purpose: "You are plump! Do you know how to speak?"

"don't know."

Liu Mang smiled, took Lu Hui's hand, and walked into the hall of the house: "Where are my parents and your parents?"

"Going to the market." Lu Hui sat on the sofa, picked up an apple and gnawed it: "Why did you come back suddenly without saying hello?"

"It's Chinese New Year now, the case has not yet been investigated, and the clues are all analyzed by Xiaodoubi. Isn't it already the seventh day of the lunar new year! It's time to take your parents back to the city."

Liu Mang clearly remembered that when Lu Hui returned home years ago, she had discharged her parents from the hospital.

However, her parents' health has not completely recovered, so after the Chinese New Year, they must go back to the hospital for further treatment.

For most patients, Chinese New Year is actually very dangerous. A little bit of extravagance, drinking and smoking may cause disease recurrence or complications.

Otherwise, eating more fruits and snacks will cause discomfort.

"Oh!" Hearing Liu Mang's words, Lu Hui was very excited. She didn't expect that Liu Mang was still thinking about it.

She thought Liu Mang was busy solving the case and forgot about it.

If she forgot, she planned to call Liu Mang to pick them up on the tenth day of the lunar new year.

Liu Mang hasn't called her these days, which means he is really busy.

"By the way, you just said that my parents went to the market with your parents?" Liu Mang frowned slightly.

The market is another place in the town.

Since their village is in the middle of two towns, there is also a township in this place.

There is a market in the village, not far from home.

When I was young, it was very lively, but when I grew up, it seemed a bit regulated. High-rise buildings rose from the ground, and supermarkets and small shops were everywhere. However, the economy has improved, but the joy of childhood has disappeared.

People, the price of growing up is the lack of innocence and happiness, and an indescribable pressure.

"How do I know."

Lu Hui has never been to the market, but she just heard from Liu Mang's parents that there is such a place, which is actually not very lively, and the elderly only visit it occasionally.

After all, that's the way it is in the country.

It is impossible to have something to do at home every day. When you have nothing to do, you must find something to pass the time.Unfortunately, Liu Mang's grandfather spent his time strolling in the market.

Sometimes, I just buy some meat to make soup by the way.

"Did you go in the morning?" Liu Mang drove back in the morning, so he was a little hungry. Seeing Lu Hui eating an apple, he reached out to pick up an apple: "The market in the countryside is actually just Generally, there is nothing interesting to watch, because I didn’t see the world when I was young, so I like to go there often, but when I grow up, I have eaten and seen everything, so I don’t think it’s fun anymore.”

"Well, it's already noon, and I haven't come back yet." Lu Hui was also worried about her parents.

After all, her parents' health is not very good, and it's very cold outdoors now, when she was discharged from the hospital, the doctor warned her not to be exposed to the cold, otherwise it would cause the disease to recur.

"I'll call and ask."

Liu Mang picked up the phone and called her parents, "Dad, I'm home. When are you coming back from the market?"

"Come on, come on!"

Hearing that his son was back, Liu Xun was so happy, as if he had eaten honey, "I came here with my uncles and aunts to buy something, and I said to take it back to the city. After we finish shopping, we will go back. You cook first." , and returned home in about half an hour."

Fuel, rice, oil and salt in the urban area are expensive, especially peanut oil and rice. It’s okay to be expensive, and you may not be able to buy healthy oil. Liu Xun heard from Lu Hui’s parents that he may return to the urban area in a few days.

Although his son never called back to tell him about this matter, Lu Hui's parents have said so, so he will definitely leave in the next few days. Buy some healthy daily necessities and bring them back to the city.

The peanut oil squeezed from the market in the countryside is not only pure, but also very cheap, at seven or eight yuan a catty, and you can buy it in urban areas for 15 to [-] yuan per catty, which is more than half the price.

My son has a car, and he can take it back to the city after putting it in the car, so it's not too much trouble.

So is rice.

The reason why his family went to the market today was, of course, to bring some rice from home to thrash, and then let his son take the freshly harvested rice to eat in the city.

"I see, it's too cold outside, come back early, uncle and aunt's body can't catch cold." Liu Mang said.

After eating a whole apple, Liu Mang looked at Lu Hui, "Let's cook! They will be back in about half an hour."

In fact, it is not far from his home to the market, that is, 15 minutes to 10 minutes away, and they return home half an hour later, which means they are still shopping.

I set off in the morning, it's already noon and I haven't finished shopping yet...

Liu Mang had to wonder what they were buying.

"What do you know about cooking?"

Lu Hui looked at Liu Mang curiously, because during this time, after Liu Mang returned to the city, Liu Mang's parents have been cooking.Meals have fish and bacon and sausages and the like.

There are also chickens and ducks.

She was a little afraid of eating a lot of fish and meat, so Liu Mang said that she was plump, but it was not fake, but compared to before, she was really a little bit more fleshy.

"I know everything about my hometown cuisine."

It's not that Liu Mang is bragging. In the past, when he was at home, he was the one who cooked most of the time.

Because his parents sometimes had to go to work, it was a bit late when they came back, so he stayed at home alone, and of course he had to cook.

And grandpa's craft is not good.

"Then make me something light! I don't want to eat fish anymore."

During this period of time, Lu Hui was almost gaining weight: "It is indeed a good thing that your family has a fish pond, but if you often eat fish, you will feel tired."

Liu Mang's father, Liu Xun, said that some of the fish in the fish pond in Liu Mang's family were intended to be given to other villagers, but they were worried that Lu Hui's family would not have fresh fish to eat, so they did not give them away. other villagers.

Although the fish raised at home and the fish bought from outside are both fish, they definitely don't taste as good as those raised at home.

"You really don't know the blessing in the blessing."

Liu Mang gave Lu Hui a white look, and said with some envy and envy, "If my parents hadn't found out that you were coming, you might not be able to eat the fish in this fish pond!"

"Why?" Hearing what Liu Mang said, Lu Hui was very curious.

"Every New Year's Eve, my parents would fish out the fish from the fishpond, pick out the big ones, and distribute them to other villagers. That's why you didn't distribute them to other villagers this year."

Distributing fish to other villagers has been done by my parents for many years: "These are all fish raised by our family. You know, they are not fed with fish food. They taste so delicious. You know it yourself."

"That said, it seems to be true."

Reminded by Liu Mang in this way, Lu Hui realized that a fish is very expensive. For every meal, Liu Xun slaughtered a big fish weighing seven or eight catties.

Fish head soup.

Calculated, they ate more than dozens of fish during this period of time.

A fish weighs seven to eight catties, and it is raised by the family, and it coincides with the Spring Festival, so it must be more than 100 yuan a fish.

In other words, they ate thousands of dollars for fish alone.

This is not counting eating bacon and sausages, chicken and duck...

"After all, our family has eaten so many fish from your family, will your parents have any objection?" Lu Hui looked at Liu Mang cautiously.

I don't want to know, but after thinking about it, I realized that their family came to Liu Mang's house to celebrate the New Year. In order to entertain their family, Liu Mang's parents didn't serve them with delicious food and drink during this period of time, for fear of being a little slack.

Liu Mang didn't like to hear these words: "The fish in our family are raised for food. It's not for us to eat, or for other villagers to eat. What's the difference?"

"Besides, you're here, my parents can hide it, why don't they bring out delicious food and drink to entertain you?"

There are guests at home, and they are still from Lu Hui's family. As Liu Mang's parents, Liu Xun dares to neglect in the slightest.

After all, Lu Hui is Liu Mang's prospective wife.

That is, the prospective daughter-in-law of their family.

Hearing what Liu Mang said, Lu Hui felt warm in her heart.

Before coming to Liu Mang's house for the New Year, Lu Hui was also a little worried, afraid that Liu Mang's parents would dislike her parents as patients.

But Liu Mang's parents not only didn't dislike him, they also helped to take care of him every day and prepared delicious treats.

Even Liu Mang's grandfather, Liu Lin, often went to other villages to buy some traditional Chinese medicinal materials.

Because my grandfather was an old mage, he often went out to help the dead and knew many people. I also heard that after a cerebral hemorrhage caused hemiplegia, he used some traditional Chinese medicine to help cure some unmentionable diseases.

Although she didn't see a doctor, Lu Hui didn't dare to let her parents take these Chinese herbal medicines, but Lu Hui took into account her grandfather's kindness.

"Your parents entertained our family so warmly. My parents must be very moved." Lu Hui suddenly lowered her head.

Since Liu Mang returned to the urban area to handle the case on the first day of the Lunar New Year, she was embarrassed to watch TV in the lobby on the first floor with her parents and Liu Mang's family at night.

She went directly to the second floor to sleep or play with her mobile phone.

Perhaps because she was not on the first floor, the parents of both parties were talking about her marriage to Liu Mang.

This made Lu Hui feel a little overwhelmed.

In particular, the parents of both parties seem to have reached an agreement.

This made Lu Hui feel even more uneasy.

We've talked... Could it be that she is about to get married.

I don't know if Uncle Liu Xun mentioned this to Liu Mang, but if he did, it would be troublesome.

However, even if he didn't say it, when Uncle Liu Xun came back, he would definitely tell his son Liu Mang.

It's just a matter of time.

"That's a good thing!"

When Liu Mang heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "I was a little worried that your parents would not get along well with my parents! Now it seems that I am completely worried, hahaha!"

"Not good!" Lu Hui had her own opinion: "It's because your parents are too enthusiastic. My parents will definitely feel that they owe you a family."

owe?

Where is this!
While cooking, Liu Mang said speechlessly, "Where did you think? Oh! Don't tell me you should treat us warmly when our family visits your house? Shouldn't you greet us with all the food and drink? "

"Why do your parents come to my house to celebrate the New Year, and we warmly entertain your parents, so your parents will have the idea of ​​being in debt? What kind of weird idea is this? You say that you are grateful, but I still believe it. Indebted? Nonsensical talk."

When you go to someone's home as a guest, you should try your best to entertain them.

Otherwise, who will come to your house as a guest.

"Okay, don't think I don't know what your parents are thinking."

If she hadn't accidentally heard them discussing her and Liu Mang's marriage from downstairs when she came out of the bedroom to go to the bathroom a few times, she would have felt that Liu Mang's parents, There was nothing wrong with entertaining her parents with enthusiasm.

But when she heard both parents talking about their marriage, she felt a little weird.

She hasn't even agreed to marry Liu Mang yet!
The parents of both parties were worried about when they would get married, how much the bride price would be, and whether they should help decorate the wedding room...

Who will bring the child...

"Why do my parents have small plans?"

Liu Mang was unhappy, stopped the kitchen knife in his hand, and looked sideways at Lu Hui who was washing the vegetables, "Although I don't know, what my parents did and said during this time, I can tell my parents I understand, they will definitely not speak ill of you, if my parents say something that you don't like, I will apologize to you on their behalf, okay? Don't feel sorry for the old man. "

Hearing what Liu Mang said, it seems that Liu Mang definitely doesn't know about it now. Those who don't know are not to blame. Lu Hui also doesn't want to argue with Liu Mang about this matter. After all, both parents have discussed it.

What more can she say.

Her parents' health is critical now, and they can't be angry... Moreover, Liu Mang has been chasing her for so many years, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as infatuation.

What's more, she also remembered how much Liu Mang had paid for her family.

If it wasn't for Liu Mang's help, she would have married someone she didn't like by now.

Even, it's not good.

Half an hour later, the parents came back.

Two motorcycles and a tricycle were parked in front of the house.

"Son, come out and help move things."

Hearing the sound of the motorcycle, Liu Mang came out of the kitchen. Seeing a large bag of rice and a white 25kg oil pot on the tricycle, he was stunned.

"Dad, what do you mean?"

Liu Mang walked up to the oil pot, his lips twitching: "Fifty catties of oil, do you think it's rice? You eat three or four catties a day, so much oil, you'll have to eat it for several months."

"It's not for you." Liu Xun gave Liu Mang a white look: "It's for Lu Hui. She cooks for her parents every day. Can't she eat some healthy oil! Besides, the oil bought in the city is not good. Is it expensive? It’s half the price at home!”
