My 1991.

Chapter 99, In ​​full swing (please subscribe!)

"Well, I won more than 8 yuan."

Seeing the person he likes approaching, Meng Qingshui's face was like a peach blossom, and after holding the change ticket in his hand happily, he hurriedly got up and pulled him to sit down.

With a smile on his face, he said: "Come on, I've been beating for a whole day, and my head is so confused, you replace me."

There are many relatives in the living room on the second floor. The Meng family's aunt, second aunt, sister-in-law, and a younger uncle are all family members. There are at least 15 people in total.Fortunately, the living room is big enough, even three tables of cards are not crowded.

But at this moment, everyone looked at Lu An in unison.

In other words, from the moment Meng Wenjie took Lu An up to the second floor, everyone here stopped their movements tacitly and looked at Lu An.

They have all heard about Lu An's painting to earn money, and because they are blood relatives of the Meng family, they know the inside story better than ordinary people.

For example, they know that Lou Ann sold 4 paintings for 6.

For example, they knew that Lu An had signed a contract with a large gallery and an auction house in Shanghai.

For example, auction houses and galleries give Lu Ann a basic salary of 2000 yuan per month.

For example, they know that with Lu Ann signing a contract with the gallery, it is already a thing of the past to want to buy 1.5 paintings from him.
They were shocked when they first heard about it. Can selling paintings make money?This has broken their imagination, and they earned 6 yuan at once.

There are only one person here, and there are very few people with more than 6 deposits.And even if there is, it is a shameful gray income, and I dare not speak out openly.

And when they learned that Lu Ann signed a contract with the gallery and still had a fixed salary of 2000 yuan, they were jealous and jealous.

And after the jealousy and jealousy, they are deeply convinced. The 18-year-old boy made such a terrifying achievement in a field that they are completely unfamiliar with, and they just feel very arrogant.

As for Meng Qingshui's liking for Lu An, almost all the elders in the living room knew about it. After all, they often walked around on weekdays, and it was inevitable that they would find a trace.

In the past, the three aunts all secretly objected, thinking that Qingshui's conditions are so good, and she should find a better one after studying.

For example, find a family in politics.

Since they are all inside the system, the three aunts also favor families in the system the most, and look down on families outside the system more or less.

Their concept is that as long as they enter the system, they have everything.

The three sisters-in-law strongly objected, and Li Meng knew about it, but she kept talking to each other, saying that the child was too young, so don't interfere too much, as long as it doesn't affect her studies.

Still the same sentence, Li Meng likes Lu An, a junior, not only is he the only son of his good friend, but he also likes his appearance very much.

But now, when I heard that Lu An was promising as a young man, and that Lu An had a super talent in painting, three aunts, three uncles, or uncles, and a group of cousins, etc. Qiqi looked at the enthusiastic Meng Qingshui, with different thoughts.

According to the local customs of Qianzhen, men like to type cards and women like to play poker.

Facing so many people and Meng Qingshui's tenderness, did Lu An fail to refuse, or was it difficult to refuse.

"It's only after 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and dinner is still two hours away. Are you hungry?" Meng Qingshui sat next to him and asked him after reading the cards.

Foodie Lu has never been harsh on himself when it comes to food, so he nodded immediately: "Well, I'm really hungry after driving all the way."

Meng Qingshui got up: "I'll get you a bowl of noodles. There's your favorite beef at home. I'll fry a beef whistle for you."

Lu Ann looked up at her, with a warm heart, agreed, and said, "Help me fry an egg."

After 5 years, seeing that he finally no longer resisted him so much, the affection in Meng Qingshui's eyes almost dripped out, and he immediately entered the kitchen in good spirits.

Li Meng, who saw all this in his eyes, also quietly followed into the kitchen.

After closing the kitchen door, Li Meng said to the little daughter who washed the beef: "Go and wash some ginger and garlic, and Mom will help you."

Meng Qingshui looked at his mother embarrassedly, and asked worriedly, "Will he eat it?"

Li Meng guessed the little daughter's contradictory thoughts right away, and teased: "I don't usually like to cook, but now I know that I am not good at cooking to please him. You, you still have to learn more from your sister." , your sister's handicraft is now better than mother's."

The first half of the sentence made her blush.

But when the second half of the sentence was heard, Meng Qingshui's little heart twitched suddenly.

Her elder sister's appearance was not inferior to hers. Because she was several years older, she was now at the peak of her style. She never figured out when Lu An transferred her feelings from her to her elder sister?

But she is very clear that her sister is now her biggest "enemy" emotionally.

Shuting, she can suppress it with a letter.

Li Rou, she is not afraid either.

But for my sister, she has tried several times, but Lu An never repented, and simply turned from the dark to the clear, which frustrated her and made her very wronged.

He is obviously in love with himself, and he hasn't explicitly broken up these years, so why do he like his sister?

With complicated emotions, Meng Qingshui chopped the ginger and washed the garlic, and then stood aside to watch his mother's operation seriously.

Seeing her daughter learning, Li Meng said: "This kind of yellow beef should not be cut too thick, it is not easy to fry if it is too thick, it is easy to overcook and affect the taste.

For better taste, it is best to marinate for 10 minutes, during which time you can prepare side dishes. "

After a series of processes, the noodles are cooked, and the yellow beef is cooked in a high fire for about 30 seconds, and then the noodles are covered, and a bowl of fragrant beef noodles comes out of the pot, which is delicious.

Seeing her daughter standing still, Li Meng asked while washing the pot, "Why don't you carry it away? If Mom carries it away, you won't have much merit."

Meng Qingshui took a look at this mother who made fun of him, "I want to fry an egg."

Li Meng put the washed pot on the stove, "You can make the eggs yourself. If you want to catch a man's heart, you have to learn to catch his stomach first."

I don't know why, every time Li Meng makes fun of her little daughter's feelings, she is in a particularly beautiful mood. This kind of happy feeling almost makes her addicted.

For a child who grew up in a remote area like Shao City, Meng Qingshui's cooking skills were not as bad as Li Meng said, at least the eggs were fried golden on both sides, which looked decent.

When the noodles came, I looked down at half a bowl of beef whistle, looked at the oily red soup, instantly salivated, and my taste buds were excited.

One piece tasted surprisingly good, and another piece tasted a bit beyond his imagination.

Some things have been eaten for two lifetimes, and you can taste something wrong right away, but after glancing at Qingshui with tenderness on his face, he didn't intend to reveal it.

Instead, he handed her the playing cards in his hand, "Come and play a few, and I'll take over after eating the noodles."

"Okay." Meng Qingshui responded softly, and reached out to take the warm card.

The elder aunt, second aunt and younger uncle at the same table watched the interaction between the two, like watching love TV, without saying a word.

In the middle, Lu An suddenly asked her: "Where did Miss Qingchi go? Why didn't I see her?"

Hearing this, Meng Qingshui's palms tightened as he was playing cards, and the cards in his hand almost dropped on the table.

Fortunately, this is not the first time she has faced this situation. With experience, she calmed down and replied softly:
"My sister went to visit my uncle's house in Changshi to pay New Year's greetings, and I will stay there until the exam is over."

Lu Ann has been observing her carefully, seeing that she did not turn his face, he was relieved, but then he became a little depressed.

Miss Qingchi just left?
Don't say hello to yourself, is this hiding from yourself?
Is this to leave room for clear water?

Lu An thought to himself, it seems that the confession on the phone before the New Year completely frightened this girl.For a while my heart was sour.

Lu An took a bite of the egg and asked, "Which university does Miss Qing Chi get a doctorate in?"

Meng Qingshui played a pair of aces and answered him: "Hunan Medical College, internal medicine."

Hearing this, he was relieved.

Although Sister Qingchi took the doctoral exam a year earlier, her school and major have not changed.

Speaking of which, the School of Medicine was one of the first batch of universities in the country to pilot doctorate programs in 81. At that time, only 4 universities in Hunan had this qualification, including the National Defense University. One can imagine the high gold content of the Doctorate Program in this School of Medicine.

After dinner, Lu An bid farewell to the Meng family.

Since there were too many guests at home, there was no place to rest, so Meng Zhenhai and Li Meng didn't persuade him to stay, they just brought him a lot of novelties.

Seeing Meng Qingshui reluctantly sending himself out of the gate, Lu An sent out an invitation: "I'm going to my sister-in-law's New Year's greetings, will you come with me?"

Meng Wenjie, who was smoking next to him, almost choked when he heard such outrageous words. Is this how the inviter invited?Can you be a little more sincere?

Sure enough, Meng Qingshui looked at him with resentful eyes, and shook his head: "You go, I won't go, pay attention to safety on the road."

Meng Wenjie interjected: "Big brother drove him, little girl, you should tell me to be careful."

Being interrupted by such an interruption, Meng Qingshui immediately felt better, and said with a smile, "Brother, Lu An, safe journey."

This, this is hopeless.

Meng Wenjie looked up at the sky, it was very interesting, this little girl is completely divorced from him.

Sitting on the motorcycle, Lu An said to her: "I'm leaving, let's go back to Baoqing on the eighth day of the lunar new year."

"it is good."

Although the last sentence was short, it brought Meng Qingshui out of the haze temporarily.

"Uncle, aunt, sister-in-law, let's go."

When the motorcycle started, Lu An waved to the three people watching him at the gate of the courtyard.

"Hey, walk slowly, come to the house to play more when you have time." This is Li Meng's response.

On the way, Meng Wenjie, who felt sorry for his younger sister, asked him, "What on earth are you thinking?"

Lu Ann didn't hear: "The wind is too strong, what are you talking about? You speak louder."

Meng Wenjie immediately slowed down by a third, and repeated loudly against the wind: "What are you thinking?"

Lu An knowingly asked: "What do you think?"

Meng Wenjie asked, "Do you still want to be my brother-in-law?"

Lu An laughed straight: "Yes, I want to be your brother-in-law even in my dreams."

Meng Wenjie thought he heard it wrong, stopped the car and said angrily: "Then you still push Qingshui out? If I hadn't watched you grow up, I couldn't help but want to do something to you."

Lu An said sincerely: "Uncle, I will call you that first. The time has not come yet. I will talk about it after reading the book."

Meng Wenjie warned him: "You kid, don't rely on Qingshui to like you, you can do whatever you want.

Let me tell you, if Qing Shui has been wronged by you, I will pay back twice as much. "

Lu An was not threatened at all: "Hey, can you speak well, don't be so coquettish, you are a state cadre anyway, you should pay attention to your image.

Besides, you can't beat me again. "

"And you broke me, and your sister has to take care of me in front of the hospital bed, and you will be the one who will feel uncomfortable."

Meng Wenjie laughed angrily, "You're really shameless, Qing Shui likes you, so he's blind."

To this, Lu An rarely did not refute, and did not know how to refute.

12 miles, the motorcycle will arrive soon.

After unloading the things in the car, Lu An said with emotion: "I just took some cigarettes and alcohol to your house, but my aunt gave me more than five times.

I see that you have been angry on the way, do you want to go in and have something to eat and drink, and eat this back? "

Meng Wenjie was very self-restraining, but facing this little bastard, he broke his defense several times, and immediately laughed and cursed "Get out", then turned around and left.

Seeing the baby nephew, the sister-in-law was happy at first, and then complained: "I heard that you came back at noon, why don't you come to my house directly, I plan to give you a surprise."

Lu An was curious: "Sister-in-law, don't fool me, you can see the end of your house at a glance, what surprises can you have?"

The aunt was so angry that she pinched his ear: "Surprise is leaving this afternoon, let's do it later."

Even knowing what surprises are, Lu An didn't care at all. After greeting the relatives inside one by one, he asked his little uncle:
"Little uncle, have the plasterers and carpenters been invited?"

The little uncle is a very pragmatic person: "Xiao An, don't worry, everything is done, and construction will start on the sixth day."

"Okay." With the background of his previous life, Lu An was quite reassured about his little uncle's behavior, and even in some cases, he was more reassured than himself.

That night, the three families got together to discuss the details, and first made an advance payment of 4000 yuan to the aunt, and the red bricks were delivered first.

Old Lu's family was going to build a new house, and the two-story red brick house they built caused a great commotion in the village.

Now there is a family in Shangcun, just a fashionable red brick house where the secretary and two gold diggers live.

Other families still have wooden houses.

Moreover, quite a few of them are old houses with a history of tens or hundreds of years, and life is very tight. It would be a lie to say that everyone is not sad.

People often come to the house to ask questions. The one with an envious expression really wants to marry the daughter of the family to Lu Ann as a wife.

According to Lu An's idea, the old house will not be demolished first. There is an open space next to his house, and the vegetable field is also his own. First, the vegetable field in the back is leveled. The wall can also grow vegetables to eat.

Lu Yan, aunt and sister-in-law all agreed with this plan, but they opposed the construction of the fence, saying that they were all neighbors, and it was not convenient to open a fence to visit people, and it was not easy to communicate with the surrounding people.

Seeing that everyone's attitudes were the same, Lu An gave in and didn't care too much about it. Anyway, after he finished studying, he basically wouldn't stay at home, and the elder sister came here whenever she pleased.

It was originally planned to be covered with tiles, but under Luan's strong insistence, the roof was replaced with cement, but the budget was more than 1000 yuan.

In the early morning of the fourth day of the fourth day, my uncle announced a big news at the crossroads: find someone to pick red bricks, 3 cents a piece of red bricks, from my aunt's house to Lao Lu's house.

As soon as the news came out, the owner of the canteen immediately helped everyone pull out the abacus beads:
10 bricks cost 3 cents. On such a flat road, one person can easily pick 20 to 30 bricks, and a load of strong ones costs about 1 yuan.

And it's only 6 miles back and forth. If you pick up 20 loads a day, that's 20 a day's wages?
Hey, the salary is quite high, and the people at the crossroads are all excited.

Immediately, the wives and children didn't care about it, and some things were half done, and they were pulled out. Men, women, and children all went out together. The adults earned wages, and the children earned chili candy money.

The younger uncle divides the work for everyone: Lu Yan and younger sister count the bricks, Song Jia counts, the eldest uncle invites Mr. Feng Shui to see the land, and the elder sister cooks.

As for Lu Ann, my uncle didn't arrange a job for him, saying he was allowed to play freely.

What is free play?

It sounds good to call it all, and everything is in charge, but it sounds bad to be a village bully.

Song Jia, who originally thought the job was the easiest, couldn't stand it anymore. It was because these neighbors were so fucking enthusiastic. In order to make more money, and to prevent others from making all their money, they stayed up all night.

This was unexpected by the old Lu family.

At night, Lu An was dragged out by his uncle to fight the fire and replaced Song Jia's class.

After two days in a row, all the red bricks were delivered, and the wood was also in order, just waiting for the bow.

In this era, everyone has no skills, and they all rely on their own strength to make a living. The Lu family is going to build a house, and they are going to call for workers. Many people go to find their little uncle overnight to find love, just want to work and earn some income.

The little uncle secretly asked the three brothers and sisters Lu Yan: "Have any neighbors bullied you?"

Lu Yan thought for a while and said a family.

The little uncle knew it well, and silently crossed off the family's labor force, and then he stepped forward to be the villain and started recruiting workers.

These days, there are a lot of idlers and idlers. With Lu’s delicious food and drinks, no one is willing to be a foreign worker, and no one dares to be a foreigner. It’s hard to get this job. That's not a blood loss.

So one by one, in the frequent dirty jokes, I worked hard.
