Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 148

After the cherries turned red, the first thing Anan did when he got up every day was to look at the cherries in the backyard, and this morning was no exception. Just froze there.

Ningxiang is sitting in front of the stove cooking porridge. Adults can eat the box, and children should eat some liquid food in the morning. When Anan walked north, Ningxiang quietly observed the little guy. With this foot stepped out, Ning Xiang couldn't bear it any longer, she lowered her head and started laughing.

"Mother, the cherries are gone!" Anan finally came to his senses, and turned his head anxiously to tell his mother.

The three-year-old boy is very forgetful, and he forgot what his father said about picking cherries yesterday after sleeping.

Ningxiang smiled and looked at her younger brother.

Reminded by her sister, Amu remembered and said disappointedly, "Brother-in-law is gone?"

He also wants to go to the city to sell cherries with his brother-in-law.

"Amu led Anan to pick a few cherries, pick the red ones, and come back when they are full." Ning Xiang handed her younger brother a large coarse porcelain bowl, which was to make up for the regret that the two of them failed to pick cherries. The two children picked the red cherries they missed, and kept their family members for snacks.

His mother allowed him to pick cherries, and Anan immediately became happy again, and ran towards the cherry tree in a dreadful manner.

Atao Zhouyu soon joined them.

The porridge was cooked, Anan and the others picked a big bowl full and came back.

"Eat first, and eat the cherries after the meal." Ning Xiang put the bowl on the top of the cupboard, out of the reach of the children, and asked Lu's Lu Ding and them to come over and eat some more.

After the meal, Ningxiang washed the cherries, took out half a bowl, and asked A Tao to deliver it to Mrs. Pan, and left half a bowl for her family to eat.Lu Ding grabbed three and went to the orchard. Lu Cheng went to the city to sell cherries. He went to the orchard to watch. Anan was so heartless that he didn't want to miss his third uncle at all. He sat at the table and ate cherries earnestly. After so many days, he finally ate them once. enough.

After seeing off the Lu family and his wife, Ning Xiang sat on the kang and sewed. For some reason, she suddenly became very greedy, always thinking about the cherries in the yard.

I was so hungry that I swallowed my saliva.

Could it be that you ate too little in the morning?Ning Xiang ate two of half a bowl of cherries.

Ning Xiang had already forgotten how old she was when she was so greedy last time, but the cherries grew in the yard, Ning Xiang couldn't help it, she put on her shoes and got off the ground.Amu led Anan to somewhere to play, and Atao probably followed. The yard was empty, except for the general standing on the roof, his brown-gray feathers shining brightly in the sunlight.

Ning Xiang didn't pay attention to the general at first, and accidentally found it while looking for red cherries along the cherry tree, and then felt guilty for no reason.

After picking five or six red ones, Ning Xiang hurried back to her new house.

Eating one by one, I finally suppressed the greediness.

At noon when Lu Cheng came back, Ah Tao knew that his brother had sold the money, so he ran out first, followed by Amu and Anan.

"Brother, how much did you sell for?" A Tao asked excitedly when Lu Cheng unloaded the car.

"Guess three of you, and whoever guesses correctly will give me two pennies." Lu Cheng said while tying the donkey.

A Tao still remembered how much her brother sold cherries for the first time last year, so she said first, "Five taels!"

Lu Cheng took the slop bucket that Ningxiang had brought over and put it in front of the donkey, looking at the two boys.

Amu could only cleverly add one or two based on A Tao's random guess, "Six two?"

Anan was even ignorant, looking at his father and laughing: "Six taels!" Uncle said as much as he wanted.

Lu Cheng was not in a hurry to announce the answer, picked up his son and walked into the house, turned to Ning Xiang, "Guess?"

"Who cares about your two Wen coins?" Ning Xiang didn't bother to talk to him, but secretly calculated an account in her heart, more than 200 catties, thirty Wen a catty, at least six taels of silver if nothing unexpected happened.

Lu Cheng smiled and said nothing, went to the kitchen and grabbed the gourd ladle to scoop water to drink. Anan was hugged by his father, watching his father swallowing, he was also thirsty, and urged his father to feed him.

"It's sold for more than six taels." After drinking the water, he entered the room and sat down, Lu Cheng smiled at his little sister who was a fan of money.

A Tao was so happy, she rushed to her elder brother, snatched the oiled paper bag from his hand, and guessed, "Is it mung bean cake?"

Lu Cheng nodded, patted his younger sister's head and said, "I bought two catties, and A Tao will send one catty to Second Aunt and the others first, and I'll eat when I come back."

A Tao obediently went.

Lu Cheng asked Ning Xiang to unwrap the oily paper bag and give it to Anan Amu to eat. He went out to scoop up water to wash his face, now that he has learned his lesson, he went to Westinghouse to wash, lest his wife would be jealous again.

The cherries were sold for money, and the whole family was very happy. Anan and Amu didn't let Ningxiang coax him during the break today, and asked Lu Cheng to tell him about going to the city to sell cherries.Lu Cheng was not serious, he told the truth and then made up some fake stories, for example, he saw a big tiger at some master's house, and he coaxed the two little guys to sleep like telling a story.

Ning Xiang was lying on the side, looking at Lu Cheng's broad back with a smile, and seeing him turn around, she turned her eyes away in time.

Lu Cheng leaned over to hug her.

In summer, Ning Xiang thought he was hot, pushed his chest and said: "Stop hugging, go to sleep."

"Just give her a hug." Lu Cheng hugged her forcefully, and after letting go, he touched his wife's flat belly, and closed his eyes after calling out a few times.

He really fell asleep, Ning Xiang looked at him unexpectedly, just about to sleep, Lu Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, "What are you looking at?"

Ning Xiang's face became hot, she changed to lie flat, and said softly: "I didn't read anything, I fell asleep."

Lu Chengcai didn't believe it, he hugged her with a smile, kissed her face and said, "Are you wondering why I haven't given you the money yet?"

Guessing what was on her mind, Ning Xiang glared at him angrily in embarrassment.

Can this be her fault?He obediently handed over the monthly payment for the past two months to her, but he didn't pay it after making a lot of money today, she must be thinking about it.

The daughter-in-law was so stupid that he was so thin-skinned that he offered to give it to her. Lu Cheng kissed her and said with a smirk: "You wait on me first, go and pick some cherries for me, and I will give you the money bag."

"Dream!" Ning Xiang whirled and turned around.

"Xiang'er, I really want to eat it. After selling it for a day, I don't even want to eat one. Go and pick two for me." Lu Cheng posted and pestered.

Ning Xiang was already greedy for cherries today, but what he said made her greedy again, since he wanted to eat them too, Ning Xiang pretended to be helpless and said: "Forget it, I'll pick it for you."

Lu Cheng gave her a rare kiss.

Ning Xiang got up to put on her shoes, and just as she walked out of the stove, Lu Cheng suddenly chased after her and grinned at her, "I'll pick it with you."

That's more or less.

Ningxiang liked her husband's thoughtfulness, so she shyly continued to move forward, and slowly became husband and wife side by side.

Picking five of them, Ningxiang looked at Lu Cheng, but Lu Cheng raised his head and didn't know what he was looking at.

Sensing her gaze, Lu Cheng waved at her, and when Ning Xiang came to him, he pointed to a place and said, "Do you think these two cherries are strange?"

Ning Xiang raised her head suspiciously, and she saw two strange cherries.The stems of the cherries are short, and most of them are slanted. Several fruits are against each other, but these two are hanging straight down. The stems...

Ning Xiang's eyes widened, where did she get the silver chain?

Immediately, he discovered what kind of cherry it was, it was clearly a pair of red agate earrings!

"Do you like it?" Lu Cheng hugged her waist from behind and asked with his chin on her shoulder.

Ning Xiang bit the inside of her lip, struggling to hold back the urge to laugh, and then asked sullenly, "How much money did you spend?"

No wonder he had to dare to give her the money bag, because he was afraid that she would find out that the amount of money was wrong.

"It only cost more than one or two points, not expensive."

The daughter-in-law was upset, Lu Cheng was a little nervous, turned Ning Xiang's shoulders and looked at her seriously, "Xiang'er, you are one of the best girls in a hundred, and marrying me is really low... Listen to me, marry me!" When it comes to you, my biggest wish is to earn a lot of money for you to eat and wear, but I don’t have that ability, so I can only wrong you first. Xiang’er, today’s cherries are sold for money, so I can’t help spending money For once, don't be angry, okay?"

He was cautious, Ningxiang suddenly had sore eyes, flattened her mouth, leaned into his arms to hide her tears, and scolded him in a muffled voice: "Who said it was wronged to marry you? Next time you say that again, I won't let you go. "

He loves her so much, it's too late for her to be happy, how can she be angry?
The daughter-in-law was not angry when she played a petty temper. Lu Cheng smiled, reached out and took off the earrings, put them in front of her, and asked anxiously: "Then do you like it? It's my first time buying jewelry, and I don't know what kind of jewelry you like." .”

The cherry-like red agate lay quietly in his palm, bright in color, moist and clear, Ning Xiang slowly stood up straight, took the earrings and looked at them carefully, and after a while said under the expectant gaze of the man: " I like it, it's pretty."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Lu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, eager to try, "Then let me put it on for you?"

"I'm going to bed, I'll wear it tomorrow." Ning Xiang put away the earrings first, and continued to pick cherries.

The couple picked a dozen of them each, washed them and sat in the kitchen to eat.

"So, the money to sell the cherries is only fifty taels?" Ning Xiang asked casually after eating two cherries.

Lu Cheng nodded calmly.

Ning Xiang stared at him, and suddenly snorted ironically, "Then you are lucky today, did you pick up two taels of silver on the way?"

Lu Cheng was so shocked that he forgot to chew the cherries and stared blankly at her.

Ning Xiang took out the pair of earrings, and asked him like a prisoner: "Tell the truth, how much did the cherries sell for?"

Lu Cheng immediately understood that his daughter-in-law knew the goods and could tell the approximate price of the earrings.

The lie was exposed, and Lu Cheng was left with the last trick. He said with a shy smile, "I sold it for more than seven taels, and a grandpa's grandson was full moon, and he rewarded me with a tael. Xiang'er, you should be happy, other people's husbands are trying to hide their private houses. I spent all the money on you, such a good husband is hard to find with a lantern, don’t you think?”

"Stop talking nonsense, don't spend money indiscriminately in the future." Ningxiang couldn't help him with the witty words, and warned with a sullen face, "In the future, there will be more places to spend money at home. We can save as much as we can, and I don't like wearing this .”

"I like to see you wear it."

Lu Cheng changed his previous hippie smile, and stared at her with a sullen face: "You are my wife, you can dress up as I want, and the money I earn, let alone a few taels, is all spent on my daughter-in-law, and no one else is qualified." Talk too much, follow up on whatever I give you in the future, don't talk about what you have and what you don't, I don't like to hear it."

Ning Xiang was stunned.

She behaved, Lu Cheng suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and handed a cherry in front of her, and said very softly: "Open your mouth."

The aroma was so strong that he bit his finger.
