Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 149

After all, Ning Xiang was not ashamed to wear the pair of red agate earrings. Now that she is wearing them, Pan and the others will definitely guess that Lu Cheng bought them for her with the money from selling cherries.Lu Cheng is a man, so there are some things that he can't consider. As a daughter-in-law, Ning Xiang doesn't want Pan to misunderstand that they don't know how to save money, and she doesn't want A Tao to be jealous.

Of course, Ningxiang knew that Pan's A Tao liked her very much, but it's better to be cautious.

She wore it privately to Lu Cheng twice, and promised to wear the earrings to "show off" when she went out in the future, only then did Lu Cheng spare her.

The cherries were sold once, and the wheat in the field was ripe.The Lu family has a total of [-] acres of land, and the three acres next to the Xu family are planted with corn, which is the main food for the family. The remaining eight acres of land, three acres are planted with wheat, three acres are planted with peanuts, and two acres are planted with sweet potatoes. , these are mainly collected and sold, except for some households.

Let Lu Ding go to the orchard as usual, and Lu Cheng stay at home to harvest wheat.In the second room, 17-year-old Lu Kuo is on farming leave and working with his parents. Their family has little land. Two acres of corn and half an acre of peanuts are still green. After harvesting half an acre of wheat, a family of three came here to help .There were enough people, Lu Cheng refused to let Ning Xiang go to the field, and asked her to lead Lu Fu and Lu Rong sisters to cook at home.

Harvesting wheat for fear of rain, rushing to work, eating lunch in the field.

Ning Xiang made a pot of steamed stuffed buns. Knowing that Lu Cheng likes to eat leeks, she purposely made half of the stuffed leeks.Selling cherries has to deal with people, and eating leeks is afraid of intoxicating people. Now they are all family members, so they don’t pay so much attention.

Lu Fu and Lu Rong were looking after the house, and Ning Xiang was carrying a basket, and went to deliver meals with A Tao.Coincidentally, the sisters-in-law and sister-in-law are wearing similar colors today, both are white shirts and blue skirts, Ning Xiang is wearing a turban embroidered with light green floral flowers on a white background, and A Tao is wearing a turban embroidered with small pink flowers, one big and one small side by side Walking, like a pair of sisters, attracted the attention of many villagers.

"Lu Cheng's wife is so handsome!"

"Yes, I heard that he can read and write, Lu Cheng is really blessed!"

"A Tao's life is good. My brother is capable and my sister-in-law is virtuous. The little girl is also handsome. When she grows up, she will marry better than her aunt."

"Tch, that's not necessarily the case. Some girls are good-looking when they are young, but they grow crooked when they grow up. Who can say for sure."

All kinds of gossip drifted over vaguely, Ning Xiang didn't take it to heart, A Tao laughed when she heard compliments on them, and pretended not to hear the bad ones, she was almost at the edge of her home, far away Call nephew.

Don't look at Anan Xiao, he also went to the field today, Amu was carrying a basket, and the two picked ears of wheat behind the adults, playing for a while and picking up for a while, his little face was tanned by the sun, and he didn't feel hard. Excited to run around.Hearing her aunt's voice, Anan, who was squatting to pick ears of wheat, stood up suspiciously. Seeing his mother coming, he grabbed the ears of wheat and ran to the field.

But the ground was uneven, and the little guy stumbled and fell straight on the ground within a few steps.

Ningxiang's heart tightened, and just as she was about to call her younger brother to help Anan, Anan got up by herself, and continued to grin and run to her mother.

"Anan, go slowly!"

Ning Xiang reminded with a smile, and quickened her pace to meet the little guy.

"Mother, ears of wheat!" Running up to his mother, Anan raised the ears of wheat in his hand as if asking for credit, his eyes sparkling.

"What a coincidence, Anan, he will help daddy with work."

Some corn seedlings grew in the middle of the wheat field, which just cast a green shade. Ning Xiang put the rice basket beside her, squatted down and kissed Anan.Seeing the little guy's face flushed from the sun, with traces of sweat on his face, the little guy must have wiped his sweat with his clay black hands, and his face was also dirty, Ning Xiang felt a little distressed, soft He asked in a low voice, "After dinner, Anan, should you go home with Mother? Mother will put you to bed."

Anan was still holding the ears of wheat in his hand, he shook them and said, "My uncle and I are picking ears of wheat!"

"Pick it up after sleep." The child was sensible, and Ningxiang felt more and more distressed, determined to take the children home to take a nap.

Anan listened to his mother, leaned into his mother's arms and swallowed into the rice basket, "Mom, I'm hungry."

Just as Lu Cheng and Pan's family of three came over, Ning Xiang quickly spread the coarse cloth and took out the bowls and chopsticks.

Pan and Lu Kuo like to eat stuffed cabbage, Lu Cheng and nephew Lu Zhongan want leek stuffed, and Ning Xiang knows Anan Amu's taste, so each of them got a cabbage stuffed.Amu ate obediently by himself, Anan looked at Daddy's big bowl, and then at the steamed stuffed bun he had already bitten into twice, suddenly changed his mind, looked at Ningxiang and said, "Mother, I don't want this, I want Daddy's!"

Ning Xiang didn't want the little guy to waste, so she persuaded: "Finish this first."

I will be full after eating...

Anan didn't understand, so he ate two mouthfuls foolishly, his patience was exhausted, and he insisted on eating leek stuffing.

Lu Cheng put his son's leftover steamed stuffed bun into his own bowl with his chopsticks, and said to his wife, "Bring him another one."

With his good father responsible for eating the leftovers, Ning Xiang was happy to cooperate, fearing that Anan would not be able to finish one, she broke off half of it for him and ate it first.

Anan was happy. He held the bowl on his stomach with one hand, and he was not very good at using the chopsticks with his right hand. The adults used to hold them. He stuck two chopsticks into the buns, lifted them up and gnawed on them. His small mouth was bulging and he ate deliciously. Extremely.Several flakes of leek foam stuck to his chin, and a lot fell on the pocket hanging around his neck. Seeing the adults all looking at him and smiling, Anan didn't understand why, and continued to eat the buns.

Ning Xiang ignored him for now, and waited for the little guy to finish eating before cleaning up.

Anan ate the slowest. The three members of Pan's family finished eating, and went away to rest, letting the whole family talk in private.

"Can you finish harvesting today?" Ning Xiang looked at the wheat field and asked Lu Cheng.

"We do it quickly, and it's almost time to pull it out for more than an hour after dinner." Lu Cheng had already finished eating, fearing that the smell in his mouth would taint his daughter-in-law, he turned his head and said, "After collecting it, take it home, and it will be ready before dark." If I can finish cutting, I will take it to the wheat threshing ground to dry for two days, and I will thresh wheat with my second uncle on the fourth day of the lunar new year."

In other words, he is at home these days.

Ning Xiang was delighted, seeing him tilt his head when he spoke, then turned around after speaking, and said with a smile: "Family, what are you fussing about."

Lu Cheng looked at her and smiled, glanced at Atao and Amu, who was listening to them carefully, suddenly turned around, walked around behind his son, put his head behind his daughter-in-law's and said in a low voice: "I'm not afraid of getting you, you What do you do if you dislike me and don't give me a kiss?"

"You sit back." Ning Xiang lowered her head and patted him backhand, her pretty face flushed.

Lu Cheng smiled and sat upright.

Anan looked at his parents, not understanding what they were talking about.

After Anan finished eating, Lu Cheng rubbed the little guy's head and continued to work.

Ningxiang packed up the dishes and led the three children home.

After "working hard" for a long time in the morning, Amu Anan took a nap and slept very soundly. Lu Cheng brought the three acres of wheat home, and the two of them woke up.

Now that the wheat is complete, you have to use a guillotine to cut off the wheat from the side close to the ears of wheat first, and set up a stack of wheat at the door, and keep them as firewood for burning. , It can be threshed after two days in the sun.

At the gate of the Lu family, Lu Cheng stood in front of the guillotine, holding the wooden handle of the guillotine and holding a thick sharp blade. Mrs. Pan and others walked over holding the sheaf of wheat, and put the sheaf of wheat on the knife bed. Just like Bao Zheng's killing the prisoner, the wheat sheaf was separated from the head and the body, and Pan left with the straw in his arms and threw it on the wheat stack, while the people behind continued to move forward.

This job is not heavy, and Ning Xiang followed suit. Anan couldn't hold the sheaf of wheat, but he wanted to play, so he foolishly pulled two stalks of wheat over there, and asked his father to cut it seriously, obviously to cause trouble and delay things.Lu Cheng cared about his son, and gave him a cut twice, and later saw that the little guy was playing endlessly, so he asked Amu to lead Anan to play.

"Your wheat is growing very well this year." The daughter-in-law of the Deng family came out to watch the fun, picked up a bundle of wheat familiarly, and followed to help.

Lu Cheng immediately looked at his wife.

Ning Xiang didn't want to talk to him, but she was afraid that her man would be taken advantage of by others, so she couldn't care less about being ashamed, so she gave Lu Cheng's arm a hard look.

His cuffs were almost rolled up to his shoulders, revealing two strong arms.

Lu Cheng smiled helplessly, and inadvertently put down his sleeves.

But the couple completely misunderstood Deng's daughter-in-law, and she really came to help.That day when Lu Cheng showed his shoulders and chest, she only took a few more glances out of love for beauty, and she didn't have any wrong thoughts about Lu Cheng. If Lu Cheng was shirtless at this time, she would definitely still look at it, but showing two arms alone is not good. What to see.

After a few hands, the mother-in-law at home called her, and the daughter-in-law of the Deng family left.

"The mind's eye is almost smaller than a needle." When it was Ning Xiang's turn to step forward, Lu Cheng whispered to her while leaning over.

"You're old, then take off your clothes." Ning Xiang muttered in a low voice without even looking at him.

Lu Cheng grinned.

The time the couple got together was getting longer and longer, and the daughter-in-law was not as reserved as before, and would talk and choke him.Lu Cheng liked the girl from the Xu family who was always shy and blushing before, but he liked the daughter-in-law of the Lu family even more in front of him. In the first place, the husband and wife were so close that they should get along so comfortably.

There is a shed on the threshing ground, and at this time of year, people are hired to guard against thieves, so there is no need to worry about pulling the wheat.

When I came back from the threshing field, it was getting dark.

After eating, washing and coaxing the children, Amu Anan fell asleep, and Lu Cheng wanted to carry his wife to the Westinghouse.

Ningxiang was worried about the possible baby in her stomach, so she refused to go.

"I won't go in again..."

Lu Cheng leaned over to appease his daughter-in-law, and then embraced her irresistibly.If it wasn't for the Deng's daughter-in-law, Lu Cheng would not have thought about it after a day of exhaustion, but when he thought of Ningxiang's jealous eyes, Lu Cheng's heart would itch, even if he just hugged her to enjoy his hands, he would have to relieve it. Quenching.

The husband and wife haven't gotten tired of crookedness for a long time, and now they are hugged together, just like the golden straw outside, it will catch a little spark.

"Xiang'er, you actually think more than I do, don't you?"

On a summer night, in the farmhouse, Lu Cheng touched his wife's face viciously.

His fingers were cool, as if they had just been washed.

Ning Xiang understood the deep meaning of his words, and buried herself in his arms, so ashamed that she didn't want to say anything.

In the end, they didn't know whether he begged too much or she was really greedy, so the husband and wife stuck together carefully.

The wheat is harvested on the first day of junior high school, and the wheat is dried on the second day of junior high school. After two days of exposure to the sun, the wheat dries up and the cherries turn red again.

Lu Cheng simply counted the days.While the wheat was still drying on the third day of junior high school, as long as Lu Zhongan was watching, everyone in the Lu family picked cherries again in the early morning. They picked eighteen baskets in total, and half of the baskets were not full.So far, the cherries on the tree have changed from densely packed to sparsely scattered. Even if they are fully ripe, they can still pick four or five baskets at most, and it is not worth pulling them to the city to sell.

Lu Cheng carried a basket in one hand, and talked to his wife next to him as he walked: "The rest is cooked, give Yan Jing a basket, give two baskets to Mr. Wu's house, and send some to my aunt's house. Let's eat and pick with our second uncle's house."

Ning Xiang nodded, Lu Cheng worked in Wu's house and received a lot of care, so he really should let go of favors.

"Dragon Boat Festival the day after tomorrow, wheat threshing tomorrow, I don't have time to accompany you, today you can take the children back to your mother's house, you have bought everything, and take these cherries with you, I will come back before noon, and go directly to find you over there." After putting the basket away, Lu Cheng turned around and looked at his wife with a smile.

Ning Xiang shot him a look, "I thought you forgot." She held back until now to mention it.

"Then why didn't you remind me?" While Pan and the others were still in the backyard, Lu Cheng squeezed his wife's little hand.

Ning Xiang wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered something, glared at him and said: "This time, don't spend money indiscriminately."

Lu Cheng leaned close to her and whispered, "I've already taken advantage of all the bargains. If you ask me to buy it, I won't buy it."

Cheap, referring to the lingering relationship between the two in the Westinghouse the night before.

Ning Xiang knew that he was deliberately angry with her, so she ran away after pinching him.

Lu Cheng set off happily.

It was still the few families I knew. The sale of cherries was very smooth. After delivering the last basket, Lu Cheng was anxious to go back to accompany his wife. He bought some snacks and then headed towards the city gate. However, there are more people entering and leaving the city gate today. The carriage came in from outside, and Lu Cheng had to wait in line.

When there are many people waiting, someone will start talking.

"Is there something important going on in the city? Why are so many rich lords entering the city?"

"The eldest son of Zhenyuan Hou's mansion is getting married tomorrow, you don't know about it? Really, what do you do when you go to the city every day... Mrs. Hou has a cousin who is a concubine in the palace and is very favored. It is rumored that the emperor is going to make her The son is the crown prince, now the son is holding a wedding, can it not be lively?"

Lu Cheng couldn't help pricking up his ears.

Someone started talking, and people around who knew some news, no matter it was true or not, started to talk about it in a hurry. Some praised Pei Jinghan, and some praised Shen Youyou, the wife of Shizi who was about to enter the door, and then brought out a big piece of news.

"Let me see, Miss Shen is amazing! At the end of the month, the eldest maid next to Shizi went out on vacation, and was snatched away by the kidnapper Liu. Whose idea do you think? Hmph, clean up the favored maid next to Shizi without entering the door." Now, once you enter the door, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to steal if you want to."

Pei Jinghan's eldest maid?
The scenes of Su Yue and Ning Xiang talking and laughing appeared in his mind, and Lu Cheng was suddenly a little uneasy.

"...how is the girl?"

Someone who didn't know asked out for him.

"Alas..." The mother-in-law who spoke before gave a long sigh, and lowered her voice: "I have a niece who works in the Hou's mansion, and she said that the maid is fierce, she would rather die than follow, she hit her head on the wall, blood flowed all over the floor Fortunately, the son went there in time, took him home and asked the doctor in the mansion for diagnosis and treatment, and managed to revive him."

"The kidnapper Liu is really the one who dared to kidnap the prince!"

"No, this time he was retribution. Others are afraid of him, but the prince is not afraid. He killed him with a sword, and eliminated harm for us in Tai'an..."

The topic gradually turned to the bad things that the kidnapper Liu did. However, after hearing this, Lu Cheng was still not sure if the maid was Su Yue, and wanted to hear more. It was his turn to leave the city.
