Chapter 73 Mother-in-law
The Tuojiang River is clear and sparkling.There are many tourists on the shore, lively but not noisy.

Among the crowd, two men were in front, and two women were behind. The four of them were walking along the bluestone road by the river with their bags on their backs.

The two women made a lot of noise without hesitation, and burst into bursts of laughter from time to time, which aroused curious glances from others.

Xiong Ping put her arms around Long Lanxiang's shoulders, and said loudly: "Am I right? Your family Lu Tu is an old fox! You have made so much money from leading the group, but you have kept everything from the company! Oh, you see Do those people have expressions on their faces? I almost burst out laughing! It’s really hard work!"

Long Lanxiang laughed together with her, rubbed her belly and said, "Oh, sister Xiong! I didn't even know that he was so unpopular in the company! I've never seen such a situation before, those sour words Oh, the strange words, I almost died laughing! Hahaha..."

They laughed and played regardless of their appearance, and glanced at Lu Tu who was walking in front from time to time, looking at his back who pretended not to know, but laughed even louder.

The two women couldn't see Lu Tu's expression from behind, but Long Wenwu could see it very clearly, that gloomy appearance seemed to drip water!
He knew what his brother-in-law was thinking at the moment, and whispered in his ear: "That's definitely not what Mom said!"

Lu Tu turned his head to look at him, then raised his head to look into the distance, and took a long breath, as if he wanted to expel all the depression in his heart.

He calmed down, forced a smile, and said softly: "Then what do you mean by her? Don't tell me that no matter how much I do for the family, in her eyes, it's so worthless?"

Long Wenwu gave him a funny look. He never thought that his brother-in-law, who usually looks very mature and stable, would be so vulnerable sometimes.

"Do you care about what she says?" He shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "She does this every time, as long as she is unhappy, she will tell outsiders what she has or not. It’s been ruined over and over again, we’re all used to it!”

Lu Tu thought about it carefully, it seems that the mother-in-law is such a person!

The old family members in Jiangnan usually like to speak well of their own family when they are outside. This is not only a low-key way to show off, but also the best way to build their own reputation.Unless their children really did something outrageous, most people would not do it like her.

Forget it, maybe she didn't do it on purpose, and it's not good for her to target herself. If that's the case, why bother with her so much.

He relaxed his frown and nodded to Long Wenwu with a smile on his face.

Seeing that he was finally no longer angry, Long Wenwu breathed a sigh of relief, and changed the topic and asked, "Second sister said that you have earned 5 yuan in the past few days, is it true?"

Lu Tu smiled and said, "She told you all?"

Even though Long Wenwu was already mentally prepared, he still felt incredible when he heard him say that!

He was silent for a long time before he asked, "Brother-in-law, can you teach me how to lead a group? I also want to make more money!"

Lu Tu nodded and said, "Okay, let's chat more when we have time and learn from each other. In fact, it's just luck this time, and I still have a lot of shortcomings."

Long Lanxiang came up at some point, eavesdropped on their chat, and interjected: "As long as you play less mahjong, you will have no problems. Your brother-in-law just came back and doesn't understand a lot of things, so you have to help Help him!"

Long Wenwu said angrily: "I didn't talk to you again, why should you interrupt!"

Long Lanxiang was enraged in an instant, and said loudly: "You think I like talking to you? It's not for your own good! I can't even hear the words. Bai has such a big head, and it's full of paste! "

Long Wenwu retorted: "Thank you, I don't need it! Your IQ is not much better than mine, can you count them all?"

Seeing that the siblings were arguing again, Lu Tu and Xiong Ping walked quickly to the front, fearing to avoid their actions.

"Sister Xiong, how is your group doing?" Lu Tu looked back and asked Xiong Ping.

Xiong Ping didn't know what she was thinking, she was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't lead a group today. Oh, are you asking me about the group yesterday? It's okay, I made more than 1000, but it's still incomparable to you! Hey , You said how your brain grew, can every scholar be as good as you?"

Lu Tu laughed and said, "No, no, Miss Xiong, you praised me too much. In fact, I'm not very good at all. At best, I just had better luck. But reading can indeed increase knowledge, and reading more books is always good."

Xiong Ping sighed, and said, "Oh, it's a pity that my head hurts as soon as I read a book, and I can't remember a word after reading it for a long time. I really envy you educated people!"

Long Lanxiang shook off Long Wenwu, laughed and said, "I am the same, Sister Xiong! Otherwise, I would not have scored so poorly in the exam for the tour guide certificate last year!"

Lu Tu asked curiously, "Tour guide certificate exam? When is it? Why didn't I know you took the exam?"

Long Lanxiang winked at him, and said with a smile: "In November last year, I decided to go to Changsha on the spur of the moment. I didn't read the book all day, and my grades were too bad, so I didn't tell you. Oh, no, Miss Xiong , I remember you didn’t read the book, how could you pass? Also, have you issued your tour guide certificate yet?”

"It was posted in March, and it's useless. Why don't you just lead Zhang Yi here?" Xiong Ping thought for a while, then said embarrassedly, "Actually, I read the book for two days, and I just hugged my feet temporarily. Rote memorization. It’s possible to pass this way, and I didn’t even think of it myself.”

Long Lanxiang opened her mouth wide, threw herself on her body, and shouted loudly: "Then you still say that you haven't read the book? I'm so mad! If I had known this, I should have memorized it at that time! Whether it has or not Use it, get it first and then talk about it, it’s better than nothing now, right?”

Lu Tu thought it made sense, nodded in agreement, and asked, "When will you sign up? Then I'll take the test too!"

If you really work as a tour guide for a long time in the future, you must take the exam.If you can get a professional qualification certificate like this, it's better to get it as soon as possible!
Long Lanxiang said uncertainly: "It seems to be July, sister Xiong? I don't remember clearly, anyway, the registration time is quite early."

Xiong Ping nodded and said, "Yes! Sign up in July and take the exam in November. After passing the interview, you will be able to get a tour guide certificate in March next year."

Lu Tu smiled and said to Long Lanxiang: "Then let's take the exam together this year and try to pass it once! Civil and military, you too!"

Long Wenwu saw that Long Lanxiang agreed with joy, and said coldly: "It's no wonder that you can pass the exam because of your three-day enthusiasm in everything you do! I won't go, anyway. Also a waste of money!"

Long Lanxiang won the quarrel just now, she was in a good mood, she didn't want to argue with him, she raised her head and said, "Huh! Look down on me! I just went to explore the way before, this time I want to hang my head on the beam and pierce my buttocks. Endorsing at home, I must show you the tour guide certificate! Just wait and see!"

Everyone roared with laughter.

Talking and laughing, several people walked to the intersection of Juyuan.Xiong Ping parted ways with them, and Long Wenwu went home with them. He wanted to go upstairs to see his son.

Lu Peng and Lu Yan were playing with the neighbor's children in Pingba downstairs. When they saw their parents coming back, they just yelled from a distance, but did not go home.

Long Xiugui took Long Junyi to play with toys in the room, and came out when he heard the movement, and when he saw them, he straightened his face and refused to say a word.

Long Lanxiang and Long Wenwu didn't bother to look at his face, they both rushed to hug Long Junyi, yelling and making a fuss, the room was full of lively atmosphere.

Lu Tu saw that the father-in-law's face became ugly, and he was obviously sulking again.

He put down his bag, turned on the TV, called his father-in-law to sit down in the living room, and asked with a casual smile, "Dad, who made you unhappy?"

Long Xiugui let out a long sigh. Fortunately, his son-in-law knew how to care about others, so he was not so depressed. He said, "Your mother called and said that she will be back tomorrow and she doesn't want to live with us. She said she was going to move out. Rent a house by yourself.”

Lu Tu couldn't help but feel a headache.What is the mother-in-law doing? No one has come back yet, making the family restless.When she comes back, I don't know what will happen!

He thought for a while and asked directly, "Did you quarrel with her?"

Long Xiugui shook his head quickly, and said: "Why am I arguing with her? She hasn't said anything yet, she's just howling there! I'll just let her go, if she wants to come back, if she doesn't want to come back, just be Junyi Without this grandma!"

Lu Tu knew that what he said was angry, so he quickly comforted him: "Dad, don't think so! I'll call Mom first and ask about the situation, okay?"

Long Xiugui didn't make a sound, apparently he thought so too, but he was too embarrassed to say it.

Lu Tu picked up his mobile phone and called Wu Lianhua.

The phone was connected quickly, but the voice on the other end was a bit noisy, and the signal was intermittent.

"Mom, where are you?" Lu Tu asked.

"Xiao Lu, I'm on the train. I'll be home tomorrow. What's the matter?"

Hearing her non-salty tone, Lu Tu felt that she was not in a good mood, and said with a smile: "I just left the group, and I heard from my father that you want to move out, is that true? Is there something we can do?" It's not good?"

"No, it's me who wants to hide away! There are too many children at home and it's too noisy. I can feel more comfortable living alone." Wu Lianhua said lightly.

Lu Tu had a toothache, so he continued to persuade: "Mom, the children like you very much. How nice it is to live together as a family! You finally came back from Tianjin, so you can enjoy family happiness at home!"

"I'm studying in Shenyang, not Tianjin! What do I enjoy? I don't have that kind of luck! Xiao Lu, you have to fight for it! Mr. Zhang said that you didn't have any achievements in leading the group. It's a good thing for you to come home and develop , but you can’t rely on Lan Xiang to live in the future, right? As a man, you still have to find a way to support a family, do you think this is the truth?” Wu Lianhua crackled a lot, as if she still felt resentment towards Lu Tu. Not small yet.

Lu Tu finally understood why Zhang Yi and the others would talk about themselves like that. The words about feelings really came from the mouth of the mother-in-law!

But he couldn't explain too much to Wu Lianhua, so he could only say: "Okay, okay, I understand Mom! Then you should pay attention to safety on the road, and we will talk about it when we get home tomorrow, okay?"

Wu Lianhua thought she was right, that's why Lu Tu hung up the phone in a hurry, sighed and said, "Oh, I'm a woman, I've spent my whole life worrying about this family, I really don't want my daughter to follow my old path like me Let’s just leave it at that, hang up!”

After speaking, she hung up the phone.

Lu Tu was confused, what does it mean?

Could it be that the mother-in-law still wants to separate herself from Long Lanxiang?impossible?
While he was thinking wildly, Long Lanxiang came out holding Long Junyi and asked, "Whose phone is it?"

"Mom!" Lu Tu replied casually.

Long Lanxiang responded with a smile: "Hey! So good!"

Lu Tu stood up as if to hit someone, but took the opportunity to snatch Long Junyi over, hugged him upside down, teased her for a while, and then asked her: "Why does Mom know Zhang Yi? Does she still talk to Zhang Yi?" Zhang Yi said, I'm eating soft food at home! Really, my reputation in the company is rotten!"

Long Lanxiang leaned forward and backward with a smile, and said happily: "Is it? I heard Sister Li say that too! Haha, I laughed so hard! Ouch!"

Lu Tu patted her butt angrily, and said, "I'm already like this, and you're still laughing!"

Long Lanxiang covered her buttocks, glared at him, managed to hold back her laughter, and said, "Oh, you don't know that my mother is like wind and rain! Whatever she says, it won't affect your money anyway." !"

Lu Tu rolled his eyes, "Why doesn't it matter? Zhang Yi said that he will send me less missions in the future. How can I make money if I don't have a mission?"

Long Lanxiang was taken aback, and realized the seriousness of the problem, "Ah, he really said that? Then what should we do? No, I'll go find him!"

Lu Tu shook his head and said, "Forget it, at worst, I'll put all the orders in the company for the next group. You haven't said how Mom knew Zhang Yi?"

Long Lanxiang thought for a while and said, "I don't know how she and Zhang Yi met. Anyway, Wen Wu and I went to work in the company, and it was my mother who introduced me. What's the matter?"

Lu Tu nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.

Long Lanxiang continued: "Honey, don't worry, it's okay even if Zhang Yi doesn't send you a group, you can still join me and Wenwu's group in the future. Anyway, with your ability, we can always make money! Oh, by the way, you can go to the parent meeting at night, I will pick up the group again after dinner."

Lu Tu smiled and agreed.
