Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 171 A man's heart, turn it around a thousand times

Shaguo trees bear fruit in different years. This year they bear more, but next year they bear less. This is the case in most years.

Last year, due to a hailstorm, the fruit was very few, so we rested for a year. The fruit trees seemed to be eager to prove their ability. The garden is full of fruit fragrance, which is refreshing.

"Guo'er, what is that?"

Ningxiang hugged her daughter and turned to the orchard, pointing to the fruit of a tree to show her daughter.

Guo'er leaned against her mother's arms, wearing the little hat Ning Xiang made for her on her head.The hat is made of ordinary straw, but Ningxiang spoiled her daughter, fearing that the edges and corners of the straw would scratch her tender skin, so she sewed a layer of light pink airy gauze inside to cover it tightly, and folded the corners outward Cover the brim of the hat, so from a distance, the top of Guoer's hat is a light straw yellow, and the side is a fresh light pink.

Pink complements her skin tone, Guoer's face under the hat is thin and tender, and her almond eyes are moist, not to mention how pretty she is.

The little girl just played with the red fruit brought home by her father yesterday for a long while, and even sucked two tastes. She recognized the fruit, and when she saw so many fruits at once, the shock on Guo'er's face was similar to that of a beggar seeing mountains of gold and silver. Opening her mouth slightly, she stared intently at the garden.

It took a long time before I said "ah", looked at my mother, tilted my head to look at my brother, and pointed to the garden for my brother to look at too.

"I'll pick fruits for my sister, the most popular ones!" Ananfeng stared at her sister closely, thinking that she looked better wearing this hat.

Guo'er clapped her little hands, and said to the orchard something only she could understand.

"Sister, brother-in-law, why are you here so late?" When the family got out of the car one after another, three people walked out of the orchard, Yan Jinglu was behind, and the leader was Xu Qiu'er who had been married for three months.The little girl wore a pair of silver-red embroidered gowns, jade hairpins on her head, and a pair of drop-shaped jade earrings on her ears, which were bright and compelling.

The younger sister is beautiful, Ning Xiang couldn't help laughing, she hugged her daughter and went up to her and asked her, "Why are you here?"

Xu Qiu'er looked back at her husband, and said with a smile: "I heard that my sister is coming today, so I'm here. I just got hungry, and I'm going to pick a few baskets of fruit and bring them home to eat. I'm afraid that my brother-in-law will be stingy and won't let me pick them." .”

She looked at Lu Cheng slyly.

Lu Cheng smiled heartily, "Pick it up, as long as you don't feel tired, I won't say anything if you pick it up."

"If you don't give it to my aunt, it belongs to me and my sister!" Anan believed it was true, objected anxiously, and stared at his aunt unhappy.

Xu Qiu'er made a gesture to hit him, Anan Diandian ran into the garden, Ning Xiang hurriedly told him to slow down, don't get scratched in the face by the branches, then walked in with her daughter and cousin side by side, while the men were behind, she whispered Some personal words.

Lu Cheng stared at the top of Xu Qiu'er's head, then looked at his wife's impeccable attire, and his heart moved slightly.

After a short stroll in the orchard, the men were busy with their work, and the Ningxiang sisters led the children back to the shed.

Guo'er looked fresh at everything, sitting in her mother's arms, looking up at the canopy with her head up.

"My sister gives you this, this is the most popular!" The shed was too high, and Anan couldn't go up by himself. After being carried up by his aunt, he knelt and moved to the side of his sister, and handed the red fruit he picked himself to her.

There is no fear of the sun here, so Ningxiang took off her daughter's hat and put it aside, Guo'er's vision widened, and she was very happy. She picked up the fruit given by her brother with both hands, opened her mouth wide and... began to suck it.

The sharp points of two small incisors just popped out from the bottom of the little girl. They can't bite, and it's useless to open her mouth too wide. Moreover, for her, the sand fruit skin is smooth and hard, so it won't break her water. Can't suck it out.

After gnawing for a long time without tasting it, Guo'er opened her mouth in doubt, looked at it, and looked at her brother in doubt.

Anan felt that his younger sister was stupid again, he laughed, took a bite of the fruit, and handed it to his younger sister.

Guo'er stared at her brother's bulging cheeks, pursed her lips, and cleverly gnawed at the place where her brother had bitten. After tasting the taste, her almond eyes smiled like crescent moons.

Xu Qiu'er looked at the pair of brothers and sisters, envious and wanted to snatch one home, touched the head of Anan who was also eating fruit, leaned on her cousin's shoulder and said with emotion: "Sister is so kind, it's so interesting to accompany the children every day, unlike me , I can only talk to my mother-in-law."

"Just give birth quickly." Ning Xiang blinked at her and replied in a low voice.

Xu Qiuer blushed, and seeing Guoer's little hat next to her, she picked it up and held it up to look at it, then changed the subject and praised: "My sister is so clever, this hat looks good, and Guoer looks good wearing it."

Speaking of sitting upright, she tried to put it on the top of her head. The hat was small, and Xu Qiuer knew she would not be able to wear it, so she was just joking.

But Anan was not happy, he was sitting on his knees, but now he straightened up, snatched the hat back while his aunt was not paying attention, hid it behind him, and said angrily: "My sister's hat, I won't wear it for you!"

"My aunt was teasing you. I didn't think I would really wear it. Anan is not allowed to snatch it from my aunt." It is good for the son to protect his sister, but he must be polite. Ning Xiang coaxed Anan to return the hat to his aunt.

Anan didn't return it, but looked down at his sister.

Guo'er gnawed until the corners of her mouth were covered with fruit juice, and she wasn't thinking about the hat at all.There is no water to be sucked here, so the small hand picked the hard skin next to it, revealing more flesh, and then continued to absorb water, really looking smart just to eat people.

Anan smiled, and handed over the fruit he had eaten a few bites.

Guo'er looked at her brother's fruit, and found that it was not as big as her own, so she didn't want to change it, so she turned around holding the fruit, fearing that her brother would snatch it from her.

The children are cute, Xu Qiu'er gently shook her cousin to tell her not to mention the hat anymore.

Ningxiang sighed, and deliberately "whispered" with her cousin: "Anan is ignorant, and grabs things from his aunt. Don't give him the lucky money during the Chinese New Year, just give it to Amu Guoer."

Xu Qiuer hummed heavily.

Anan looked up at his mother and aunt who was facing him, blinked, and continued to accompany his sister nonchalantly.

His aunt's new year's money is not rare for him!

At noon, everyone went to Yingxianju for a feast.

The harvest is coming soon, this time it is Lu Cheng who pays for the treat.

There were so many people, Yan Jing drank two cups of wine, suddenly remembered something, and said to Lu Yan: "Is the second child in love? A few days ago, someone on our street asked me about you, and it seemed that they wanted to match him up. My daughter is telling you, I didn't tell you, that girl looks pretty good, do you want me to help you bridge the gap?"

Everyone at the table looked at Lu Yan, especially Ning Xiang who was most concerned about his uncle's marriage.

Lu Yan chewed and swallowed the food in his mouth as if nothing had happened, looked at him and asked, "How old is it?"

Yan Jing scratched his head, thought for a while and said, "Fifteen or six, almost."

Lu Yan smiled, and glanced at Xu Qiuer teasingly, "Since you said she looks good, why didn't you like her? Could it be that she has a bad temper?"

Lu Cheng lowered his eyes and smiled, Ning Xiang reacted a little slower, and looked at his cousin after understanding.

Xu Qiuer smiled, and pinched her husband's thigh with the hand under the table.

Yan Jing died of pain and wronged.In fact, he lived on the same street as the girl, and he inevitably saw her many times on the way home, but perhaps he had seen her growing up since he was a child, and he completely regarded her as his little sister, and he never had any other thoughts, even though he is married now. The daughter-in-law is about the same age as her.Her mother asked him about it, and he remembered it and casually mentioned it to Lu Yan. Since it was a match, of course he wanted to praise the other party's appearance. He couldn't say that the girl was good-looking, could he?
But now I can't explain how to explain it.

"Your sister-in-law and I are a natural match. I don't like the girl next to her no matter how beautiful she is. You will understand when you get married."

Fooling the past with the tone of someone who has been there, Yan Jing flattered his daughter-in-law with food.

Xu Qiuer snorted, saving him some face.

Walking back after dinner, Xu Qiuer wanted to go back to the orchard with her cousin's family, but Yan Jing dragged her to Liziyuan as soon as she went downhill. Walking with him, Yan Jing beat him up and hugged him unexpectedly when he arrived at the chestnut garden, and went straight to the shed.

In the quiet afternoon, after a burst of pushing and shoving in the shed, there was suddenly the sound of crunching wooden boards shaking.

In the garden on the other side, brothers Lu Yan and Lu Ding took the mats and went to make a floor elsewhere. Atao, Mu, and Anan were all asleep. Ningxiang sat with her daughter in her arms, pulled her skirt to feed the little girl, and whispered to her husband: "Go Tell the second brother about the marriage at the medicine store, if the second brother is thinking, let's meet someone first, if not, you can ask him what he thinks."

Lu Cheng nodded, but sat motionless.

Seeing him staring directly at her chest, Ning Xiang was so angry that she slapped him on the arm.

Guo'er raised her head and giggled, she likes to watch her parents play.

Lu Cheng's eyes were black, swallowing his saliva, he quickly glanced at the place where his daughter ate, and walked away while he couldn't help himself.

Ning Xiang was blushed by him, she snapped off her daughter's head to let her continue eating, and scolded Lu Cheng in her heart.

Over there, Lu Cheng called his second brother aside, but before he started a conversation, Lu Yan frowned and said, "No matter who comes to marry, you guys should refuse, I'm just like you, I'm looking for a wife by myself, this year Wait until next year, don’t worry, the tea shop has been busy recently, and I haven’t bothered to think about that.”

The men spoke in a simple and neat manner. Since he had expressed his attitude, Lu Cheng had nothing to say, but looking at his 19-year-old second brother, Lu Cheng thought about it, and persuaded him: "If you pick on your looks, the elder brother doesn't care. You, but your background, don't forget that we are still villagers in the final analysis, don't be too high-minded, people in the city are all snobbish..."

"I know, brother, go back quickly." Lu Yan said impatiently.

He knew that he was from the village, and even if he became a shopkeeper, he was just getting started, so he didn't have the confidence to tell his cousin directly.

Back on the mat, Lu Yan lay on his back, looking at the blue sky above him through the gaps in the branches.

"Second brother, do you have something bothering you?"

Hearing his brother sigh several times with his eyes closed, Lu Ding turned over and asked in a low voice.

"Sleep with you." Lu Yan wouldn't even tell his elder brother how old he was, let alone a 15-year-old boy.

Being treated like a donkey with good intentions, Lu Ding snorted and went to sleep peacefully.

After resting for a while, Lu Cheng asked the two brothers to send Ning Xiangniang back. Lu Yan set off for the city tomorrow morning, and Lu Ding brought people over to pick the fruits.

Guo'er couldn't bear to part with her father, crying and refusing to leave.

The child was too young, and Lu Cheng couldn't keep his daughter here overnight, so he could only hug someone to coddle her, and planned to coax her to sleep before leaving.

"I'll pick some fruit and give it to the guys tomorrow." After waiting, Lu Yan picked up a small basket from the side of the shed and went straight to pick the fruit.Amu likes to pick fruit, so he wants to help, Lu Yan said with a smile: "No need, the second brother picks it himself."

They are all acquaintances, so you don’t need to pick too good ones, just pick some that are a little bit injured or greenish, give them a taste, and sell the good ones for money.

Holding his daughter in his arms, Lu Cheng thought of the third uncle's family, and reminded him: "Pick more, and bring them to the third uncle's family along the way."

Lu Yan hummed, picked a few, and paused, "Do you want to pick some for my uncle's house?"

Hello Lu Cheng.

The second uncle's family and the Xu family will come to help tomorrow, just share some fruits and take them away before going home, only the uncle and third uncle's family will bother.

"Then you go to uncle's house again."

After giving instructions, Lu Cheng swayed to coax his daughter.

Lu Yan picked the fruit silently.
