Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 162 The Bad Lu Family Fathers

The shed is not as warm as the hot kang at home, and I don't feel it when I fall asleep, but when I wake up in the morning, Ning Xiang can't help but slip into Lu Cheng's arms.

Lu Cheng was so tickled by her, he wrapped her in his arms with hands and feet, and sighed long.

Bear with it, the girls will be fine when they come down.

"Is there any discomfort?" Lu Cheng touched his wife's forehead, a little worried. He was careless when he asked her to stay yesterday.

Ning Xiang shook her head and smiled at him, "After picking the fruit today, are you going home?"

Lu Cheng nodded, "There are some green fruits left, let's grow them slowly, leave the general here to guard at night, I'll just come over during the day."

Ning Xiang was relieved, and still liked Lu Cheng living at home.

The husband and wife talked for a while, their spirits improved, and they got up.Lu Cheng asked her to sit in the shed, he went to the spring to get a wet towel, and when he came back he asked her to wipe it. After washing up, the two of them went to town hand in hand for breakfast.Lu Cheng took his daughter-in-law to the porridge shop on purpose. Seeing Ning Xiang, the old lady gave Lu Cheng a "blessed boy" look.

Lu Cheng kept smiling.

Ning Xiang didn't pay attention to his eye contact with the old lady, but was attracted by a voice from the dumpling shop next door.

"The talent in the Zhang family is really unlucky. On the way to Fucheng to catch the exam, he met a thief. Not to mention he robbed him of money. During the fight, he was stabbed in the face. His imperial examination is strict. Anyone with scars on his face, limbs, or disabilities is not allowed. He won't be able to take the exam anymore, hey, what a pity at such a young age."

"Is there still this?"

"It's absolutely true, the scholar from the Liu family across the street from our house is his classmate, his mother told me about it, and his father hasn't come to the town to sell baskets these days..."

Hearing this, Ning Xiang was finally sure that what the other party was talking about was indeed her talented cousin, Zhang Honglin.

"Could it be your cousin?" Lu Cheng suddenly asked next to him in a low voice.

After Ning Xiang was surprised, her mood was very calm, she glanced at him, lowered her eyes and said, "Whether it has anything to do with us or not."

"Well, eat eggs." Lu Cheng stared at her for a while, seeing that she really didn't take this matter to heart, he smiled and put the freshly peeled eggs into her bowl.Zhang Honglin's way to climb up is cut off, Lu Cheng no longer has to worry about him, a small scholar can't make any big waves, if he is not honest, Lu Cheng will continue to teach him.

After the meal, the couple went back to the orchard as if taking a stroll in the courtyard.

Ning Xiang has a body, Lu Cheng won't let her move, he picks the fruit first.

Soon Xu and Lu's families came.

"Mom, why didn't you go home?" Anan asked aggrievedly as she missed her mother, got out of the car and ran towards her after being hugged by the third uncle.

"Mother stayed here to help Daddy pick the fruit." Ningxiang said skillfully to fool the boy.

"I'll help daddy pick it too!" Anan Xinsi was immediately abducted by her cunning mother, holding her by her little hand, and looking into the garden with her phoenix eyes.

Ning Xiang smiled, said hello to her relatives, then walked up to Mrs. Li, and whispered: "Auntie, why didn't Qiu'er come?"

Mrs. Li raised her chin towards the chestnut garden with a smile, "She doesn't want to come, and I didn't call her, let her stay at home with your sister-in-law."

At the beginning of September, my daughter is going to be engaged to Yan Jing, and now knowing that Yan Jing is here, she is still going this way, which seems immodest.

Ning Xiang nodded in understanding.

Yan Jing, who heard the news and rushed over to help, was depressed. He searched around but didn't see his fiancée, not to mention how bitter he was.

Compared with picking fruit last year, Ningxiang, Guanping, Xu Qiuer, and Lu Yan lost four laborers, but this year's fruit is even less. If it is not scattered in the [-]-acre garden, it may take less than half a day to pick it all.

When picking fruits, you should also choose them. If there are wormholes or too conspicuous scars on the fruits, they cannot be sold. Pick them out and put them in a separate basket for your own food.Finally, when it was almost noon, the men moved all the baskets of fruit to the shed. The Jiao family sent a senior steward surnamed Lu over and ordered them to weigh them.

"My boss said, we are all regular customers, and this year's hailstorm will not be easy for you. This time, we will round up the whole number and count it as 100 taels." Steward Lu generously gave Lu Cheng a hundred taels silver ticket.

Everyone was overjoyed, and Lu Cheng was so happy, he didn't forget to quietly send the five taels of silver that he had prepared earlier to the hand of the chief steward, and said in a low voice: "Boss Lu has worked hard all the way here, this money is on your way back For tea. Alas, this year’s harvest is not good, and my family owes a few hundred taels for buying a garden. I will give you a big one next year, and I invite you to drink a few bowls of good tea.”

Although it is the Jiao family who buys the fruit, the fruit farmers like them are most pleased with the manager Lu who is in charge of purchasing the goods. He is so happy that he will turn around and say a few good words, and the business will be easy next year. If the Jiao family didn't buy their own fruit, they had to contact a new buyer.

There are not many people who plant fruits, and even fewer people who reap fruits. Lu Cheng must keep these connections.

Manager Lu pretended to shirk for a while, but accepted it after two times, patted Lu Cheng on the shoulder and praised: "You boy is capable, I have already seen that you are not in the pool, work hard, and sell him for four tomorrow." 500 taels, don't forget to invite me to Yingxianju for a drink!"

"Definitely, I will borrow your good words." Lu Cheng said with a smile on his face.

Manager Lu was in a hurry to go back, and after some politeness, he led the convoy away.

Lu Cheng led the relatives of the two families to stand outside the garden to watch him, and did not re-enter the garden until they were out of sight.

There are still two baskets of fruit left in front of the shed.

"Everyone is tired after picking for a long time. Eat two fruits to quench your thirst." Lu Cheng touched Amu's head and asked him to distribute the fruits one by one, then lifted up the other basket and said, "You guys rest first, I'll go to Wu's house Let's go, and we'll go when we come back."

Lu Zhongan said: "Go ahead, thank you very much, Mr. Wu."

Lu Cheng nodded, exchanged glances with his wife, and strode away.

"Mother, I'm red!" Anan picked a red fruit and ran to his mother to honor her.

"Anan, let's eat, mother ate quite a few yesterday." Ning Xiang took out a handkerchief to wipe the little guy before returning it to him.

Now that mother had eaten it, Anan smiled and took a hard bite of the fruit. The bite was too big, and he couldn't close his mouth when eating.Ningxiang was amused by the child's cute appearance, but her eyes accidentally glanced at the place where Anan had just bitten, and her smile froze immediately.

Because there was a worm hole in the middle of the yellowish-white flesh, Ning Xiang even saw half of the worms...

"Anan is about to vomit." Ning Xiang quickly grabbed the fruit, making Anan bow his head, dumbfounded.

Why is the little guy so lucky?

So when Anan picked the fruit next time, he had to be careful, and he had to go around in circles to see if there were no worm holes before biting.

About two quarters of an hour later, Lu Cheng came back from Wu's house and brought good news.

In three days, Wu Mingju and his party will rush back to Tai'an Mansion.

In other words, Lu Yan, who has been away from home for almost half a year, is finally going home.

"Second Uncle is coming back, does Anan want Second Uncle?"

On the donkey cart, Ning Xiang lowered her head and asked Anan.

Anan remembered the second uncle, and nodded to the third uncle Lu Ding.

"Then Anan, let the second uncle sleep in his arms?" Li teased him.

Anan shook his head, tilted his head, just when everyone thought he would look at Ningxiang, the little guy pointed at Amu and said crisply: "I will sleep with uncle!"

Now besides his mother, Anan's favorite thing is his uncle!

Amubai's fair little face collapsed, thinking of the fart his nephew had made last night.

Ever since my sister told Anan to fart and collapse him that night, no matter day or night, as long as Anan wanted to fart, he would definitely run to him, taking pleasure in successfully collapsing him, so that Amu dared not play with his nephew, because he could not Determine whether the nephew came here simply looking for him, or...

For the first time, Amu looked at her sister accusingly.

Ningxiang received complaints from her younger brother, but she had no choice. She scolded Anan twice, and Anan promised well in front of her, and then went to bully her uncle again. This kind of thing, Ningxiang wanted to scare her with a cold face. Anan couldn't even do it, and he wanted to laugh when he mentioned it. Anan also saw through that she was not really angry, so he openly disobeyed his mother.

Maybe when Anan finds out that farting is a shameful thing, he will restrain himself?
