Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 104
My aunt and cousin are all gone, why did they leave?
On the kang, thinking of Lu Cheng's words "sleep with her in the east room", Ning Xiang's face almost burned.

Turning from embarrassment to anger, she hugged her younger brother and gave Lu Cheng a vicious look, "Hurry up and leave!"

He is shameless and she wants shame!
"Amu hasn't agreed to me yet." Lu Cheng looked at her straight, with a rascally aboveboard, as if he was going to marry Amu, not her.

Even though she knew how much this man liked her, Ning Xiang was still a little embarrassed by his words, as if she was standing with Guan Ping, and Lu Cheng suddenly ran over, she chased Lu Cheng angrily, but Lu Cheng called him She came to look for Guan Ping, but now the person who made her feel passionate was replaced by her own brother.

Furious, Ning Xiang almost taught her younger brother to ignore him.

Suddenly thinking that if she didn't say anything, it was actually Lu Cheng who was cheaper, Ning Xiang was really too lazy to look at him, she pursed her lips and turned to the window again.

Lu Cheng looked at her with a smile, not at all afraid that she would be angry about this kind of thing.

What are you afraid of?Soon she will be his daughter-in-law.

His eyes fell on Amu, and Lu Cheng sat down on the kang head very familiarly, with his two long legs resting on the edge of the kang, and his feet stepped on the ground with ease.Turning around, holding the kang with his left hand, pinching Amu's white face with his right hand, Lu Cheng glanced at the prospective daughter-in-law whose cheeks were flushed because of his actions, smiled, and coaxed Amu in a low voice, "Amu, would you like to be with me?" Sister moved to our house? It’s over, Anan, you two will feed the donkeys and let the eagles out together. When you come back, ask your sister to help you both take a bath and tell you stories at night.”

What you think is called a beauty.

Amu was attracted by feeding the donkey and releasing the eagle, but he cared more about another matter. He looked up at his sister and asked Lu Cheng nervously, "Would my sister like him more if she became Anan's mother?"

"Ask your sister if she will." Lu Chengtao looked at his sweetheart.

Amu also looked over.

The younger brother was stupid, Ning Xiang lowered her head, touched the little guy's head and said: "No, my sister likes Amu the most, more than anyone else."

"My sister was still sleeping with my arms that night. I didn't want to sleep in the same room with Anan." Amu hugged his sister dependently and said, the threat of being separated from his sister was gone. Another big threat was that his sister was snatched away by Anan.

When the little guy asked this, Ning Xiang couldn't help but glance at Lu Cheng.

Facing the man's burning eyes, Ning Xiang immediately regretted it.

"Sister..." Amu was still waiting for an answer.

Ning Xiang blushed extremely, nodded indiscriminately, and did not dare to look at Lu Cheng again.

Amu smiled contentedly, turned to look at Lu Cheng, "Brother Lu and Anan slept in the west room, and my sister and I slept in the east room, so I promised to let my sister marry you." A five-year-old child doesn't understand what marriage is all about , I don't even understand that what a big man looks forward to most when he marries a wife is to sleep with his wife in bed at night.

Lu Cheng smiled meaningfully, "Okay, just listen to Amu."

After pinching Amu's face, the big hand that was put down quietly and unexpectedly squeezed between the hem of Ningxiang's skirt and the Kang quilt.

Ning Xiang sat cross-legged, he was so mischievous that he immediately turned into half sitting on his paw.The younger brother was in her arms, and Ning Xiang's heart was about to fly out. Just as she was about to hug her younger brother and move in, Lu Cheng held on to her skirt tightly, and if she insisted on leaving, he might drag her skirt down.

"Lu Cheng!" Ning Xiang blushed, scolded him in a low voice, her voice was full of pleading.

Lu Cheng didn't move his palm, but his four slender fingers were dishonest. It just so happened that one of them was pressed to the right place.

Gently, Ning Xiang bit her lower lip.

Lu Cheng's breathing was a little messy, but he refused to stop, and said to Amu: "Then we have made a deal, and no one is allowed to go back on his word."

Amu nodded seriously, and stretched out his small hand towards him, "pull the hook."

Lu Cheng supported the kang with his left hand, but he was reluctant to leave his right hand, and said with a smile: "No need to pull the hook, Amu calls brother-in-law, I will believe Amu."

Ning Xiang was in a hurry, and just about to tell her younger brother not to shout, Lu Cheng made a strong hand, which almost made her jump up.

"Brother-in-law." Amu giggled like a fool.

Lu Cheng also laughed, worried that Mrs. Li and others would not give him too long, he reluctantly withdrew his hand, and pinched Amu's face again.

Amu wiped his face strangely, stared at his hands and said, "Brother Lu has water on his hands..."

Ning Xiang really wanted to die, if it wasn't for the wall behind her, she would have turned her neck completely to the back.

"Brother Lu likes to sweat." Lu Cheng smiled rascally and happily, and when he got up, he whispered to Amu, "Don't tell others."

Amu nodded obediently.

Lu Cheng took one last look at his delicate and shy daughter-in-law-to-be, calmed down for a moment, then pulled out the curtain and left the house, stood in the kitchen and said to Westinghouse, "Auntie, Amu promised me, then I will go back first, and I will invite Second Aunt tomorrow." Come here to discuss with you about combining horoscopes."

Li Shi coughed, walked out, and stared at Lu Chengdao: "Today is a special situation, and you are not allowed to rush over in the future."

Lu Cheng obediently admitted his mistake, scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at his feet and said, "Auntie, I was wrong. I heard my second aunt said that Amu was unwilling, so I came here as soon as I was in a hurry. I didn't think too much about it."

The worry was also because she cared, Mrs. Li didn't want to really blame him, and asked in a low voice when sending him out: "Let Amu go, have you discussed with the elders?" This is not a trivial matter.

Lu Cheng said seriously: "Don't worry, Auntie, I can be the master of my family, and my second and third aunts all like Xiang'er, so they won't object."

Mrs. Li was relieved, but still told her: "Tell them when you go back, it's really embarrassing, it's okay to get married two years later."

Lu Cheng smiled and hummed, but didn't take it to heart.

Not to mention two years later, he didn't want to wait two days later than the date he had chosen before.

After sending off Lu Cheng, Mrs. Li walked back and heard her daughter's voice in the kitchen, "Sister, how dare brother Lu say anything?"

Ning Xiang lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Not only did he dare to say, he also dared to do...

Ning Xiang looked at her younger brother's little face, feeling awkward all over, and said softly, "Amu, go and wash your face, it's crying."

Just let Lu Cheng mess around, she won't see him again before getting married!

Amu went to wash her face obediently, and Mrs. Li walked in.

Xu Qiu'er blushed and complained to her again: "Mother, big brother Lu is too bad, let's not set the date too early, let him worry, let's see if he dares to be cheeky and say anything."

Mrs. Li looked at the shy niece in the kang, and said very sourly: "Why don't you say that you have a thick skin and don't worry about marrying a wife. If your elder brother had Lu Cheng's shame, I would have embraced my grandson a long time ago." Really angry Lu Cheng is a rascal, and envies that this kid will please his niece. She has been there before, and knows that little girls are shy, but she loves Lu Cheng the most in her heart, and she doesn't care about anything for herself.

Xu Qiuer doesn't have anyone she likes, but she takes it for granted. Looking at Westinghouse, she recalls her elder brother avoiding Guan Ping like a snail. He obviously likes him but dare not speak out. Lu Cheng is far behind.

Guan Ping bowed his head on the kang in the west room while he was doing needlework. Hearing the words of Mrs. Li, for some reason, he raised his head to look at the door curtain.

There seemed to be a man's big rough hand, holding a red fruit in the palm.

Maybe it was fate, when Xu Huai gave it to her, she couldn't accept it, but now that she can, he gave up again.

The two families agreed, and the meanings of the eight characters were also matched. Mrs. Pan came over and returned the fragrant Geng post, and discussed with Mrs. Li about the date of Xiaoding, "We have seen the day, August [-]th is very good."

Today is already the eighth day of the lunar new year, and Li Shi was surprised: "So urgent?"

Pan raised his chin towards the west courtyard, and teased his nephew, "Xiang'er is so nice, our boss is in a panic, afraid that something will happen midway, Xiang'er will dislike him and don't want to marry, so we are in a hurry to settle down early."

Mrs. Li thought for a while, and persuaded: "When is the nearest good day after the fifteenth?"

After Xiaoding, even if the two families are related by marriage, Lu Cheng will have to give gifts during the festivals.The [-]th Mid-Autumn Festival is about to come, and the small ceremony is arranged before the festival. Li Shi is afraid that someone will say that the Xu family intends to take a share of the ceremony from the Lu family.

The Lu family chose before the festival precisely because they wanted to give an extra gift. Guessing Mrs. Li's concerns, Mrs. Pan said with a smile: "Xiang'er is one of the best girls in our neighborhood. It is a bit wronged to marry the boss. These are all things that should be done." Yes, sister-in-law, don't be polite to us, you are ready to prepare, we will invite people from Quanfu to come and give gifts on the twelfth day."

Xiaoding doesn't need to be lively, the woman just treats Quanfu people to a good meal, and Dading only wants to have a big banquet.

This is Lu Cheng's love for his niece, and Li Shi smiled and agreed.

The customs of Xiaoding in the countryside of Tai'an Prefecture are similar, and the man gives four boxes of gifts, two boxes of jewelry, and two boxes of clothing materials.A box of jewelry is divided into four items, combs, hairpins, earrings and bracelets. Rich people give good jewelry, real gold, silver, jade and jade pieces, and those who have no money will give gold and silver plated ones. There is a gold-covered one for display.Two boxes of clothing materials, usually materials for the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, are all together.

Lu Cheng couldn't afford pure gold, so he planned to buy gold-covered jewelry, and chose fine cloth for clothes.

Before he left to buy, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Lu all came.

At that time, Lu Cheng was building a house along the east side, and hired sixteen helpers from the same village. They didn't need to pay wages, and they only had to take care of the food every day. People in the village built houses like this.Hearing his sister call at the gate that his aunt and aunt were coming, Lu Cheng greeted the helpers, then called back to his two younger brothers, ready to go there to meet them.

Lu Ding put down his shovel, wiped his sweat and stood up.

Lu Yan pretended not to hear, Lu Cheng yelled again, and he walked over unhappy.

When the three brothers walked to the door, two mule carts stopped.

The one with the black top belonged to the Xu family, and the curtain of the car was parted, and the eight-year-old Lu Ying showed her head first, smiling at her three cousins.

Lu Yan immediately stepped forward, carried the little cousin down, and when he turned around, he glanced at the mule cart of his aunt's house. Seeing that only his aunt, Mrs. Lu, got down, Lu Yan snorted softly.That snobby cousin, if she has the ability, she will never come here again.

Lu Ying didn't know that her second brother was cursing in her heart, so she broke away from his hand and ran to find her nephew who was sitting by the sand pile and playing with the sand.

"Has Anan missed your aunt?" Lu Ying squatted down holding her skirt and asked happily.

Anan looked at her, without saying a word, put one hand on the sand, and covered the sand on the back of her hand with the other, patting and playing in a dignified manner.After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's easier for such a big child to recognize him after a long time, otherwise Anan would actually like to play with his aunts.

Lu Ying was not discouraged, and helped him cover the sand with a smile.

Seeing her, Mrs. Lu frowned and said, "Ah Ying, you are so old that you still play with sand, so don't stain your skirt."

"Wash it when it's dirty." Lu Ying said to her aunt with a playful smile.

Anan turned his head to look at his aunt and grandma, and then turned to continue playing with his own after looking at her. The look of seeing and ignoring others was obviously learned from his second uncle.Lu's didn't care about the children, turned his eyes to the second nephew who only had an aunt but no aunt in his eyes, and gave him a hard look.

Lu Yan actually didn't hate his aunt, what a big deal, he just annoyed his aunt, guessing that the two elders came here for his elder brother's business, so he dragged Lu Ding to continue working.

Lu Ying and Ah Tao were coaxing Anan outside, Lu Cheng asked the elders to go inside, Lu and Xu both brought their maids, and at this time, both maids carried four boxes of gifts.

"It seems we've thought of a place to go." Lu smiled and said to the third sister-in-law.

Mrs. Xu prefers to deal with the good-tempered Mrs. Pan, but she can also get along well with Mrs. Lu. She took a look at Lu Cheng and said with relief: "When the boss married Anan Niang, we didn't have a good wedding banquet. We didn't have anything but the tea ceremony. For Ananniang, this time marrying Xiang'er, you can't be sloppy."

"Sister-in-law San has seen the girl from the Xu family?" Mrs. Lu asked curiously.

Mrs. Xu nodded, and immediately praised Ningxiang.

Mrs. Lu still trusts Mrs. Xu's vision. Although he was a little dissatisfied that his nephew didn't ask her to see him before he got engaged, he is too lazy to care about it now. After entering the room, he pointed to the four boxes of gifts he brought and tilted Lu Cheng With a glance, he said: "You don't think of me as an aunt in your heart, but I think of you as a nephew. Since Miss Xu is so good, our little wedding ceremony can't be shabby. Our family is tight, and my aunt will prepare it for you. When the time comes Send someone over there."

Lu Cheng opened his mouth to refuse, but Lu snorted: "Don't be polite to me, the things are not for you, but for my nephew and daughter-in-law. The same will be the case when the second and third get married in the future."

The eldest brother and sister-in-law went early, and there were only a few children at home, so how could they do it without her help.

Lu Cheng still wanted to refuse, Xu raised his hand to signal him to shut up, and discussed with his sister-in-law: "According to what you said, I brought these four boxes of gifts for nothing? How about this, I will give you two boxes of jewelry, and you will give you two boxes of materials." , put the rest at home first, we don’t need to give them away next time in Dading, let the boss prepare other things by himself.”

Lu readily agreed.

Lu Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to the two elders: "Third Aunt, Auntie, you all take it back, Xiang'er knows my family's situation, she won't dislike anything as a gift..."

"You just listen to us, and it's not just for you. The second and third children are the same. When the time comes, we will show the second and third daughter-in-law. Xiang'er won't think too much after seeing it?" Xu interrupted her nephew again, not letting the nephew Be polite to them, after finishing talking, go out, and said with a smile: "I'll go see your second aunt and the others, Qiao Niang, are you going?"

"Let's go together." Lu followed without hesitation. She didn't want her second sister-in-law, but she wanted her two nieces.

In a blink of an eye, the aunt and sister-in-law disappeared without a trace.

Lu Cheng looked at the eight boxes of gifts on the kang, knowing that he couldn't refuse, secretly decided to work harder to make money in the future, and when his cousins ​​and cousins ​​got married in the future, he and Ning Xiang would also give a generous gift .

At noon, all the family had dinner, and Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Xu left.

Only then did Pan call his nephew aside, and said with a wry smile: "Second Aunt's family doesn't have much money..."

As soon as the elder opened his mouth, Lu Chengcheng knew what she was going to say next, and immediately interjected: "Second aunt, don't talk about it, we live in the front and back doors, you and the second uncle have helped us a lot, and if you say such things, you are not treating us as a family. people."

The nephew didn't think she was poor, and Pan felt a little uncomfortable. The child's three aunts and aunts all gave presents, but she wanted to give them, but she had nothing to offer.Her son burned money for studying, and later she would spend money everywhere in the exams for talents and candidates. She really couldn't touch the few taels of silver that the family had saved with great difficulty.

Tossing and turning at night, unable to sleep, whispered to her husband: "Tell me, will Xiang'er dislike me after she gets married?"

"What do you hate? You really hate me." Lu Zhongan hugged his abnormal wife, feeling a little guilty, "Blame me for not being able to let you live a glorious life wearing gold and silver." The third brother is knowledgeable, and his chess skills are even better. Gao Chao, even though he is married, no one dares to look down on him.The sister-in-law's family shop is a well-known wealthy family in the town. With such two relatives, the wife will inevitably feel pressured occasionally.

"What nonsense, we are fine now." Pan rubbed her husband's chest and said sincerely, "Forget it, let's not compare with them, the boss is not the kind of person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and neither is Xiang'er. I can't give her good things, in the future Xiang'er will give birth to a child, I will take care of her nearby, please make more compensation."

"Such a good aunt, others can't wait for it, who would dislike it?" Lu Zhongan suddenly became interested in kissing his wife's delicate face.

Pan twitched a bit, and quickly hummed softly. She was devoted to loving her husband, why would she still miss those imaginary things?
When the appointed day came, Mrs. Pan put on new clothes and led the Quanfu people she found in the village to Xu's house to give gifts.

So far, Lu Cheng and Ning Xiang have officially engaged in marriage.
