Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 172 Jealousy Lu Yan, first sour and then sweet

"Sister-in-law, then I'm going to town." Lu Yan picked out a basket of fruit, lifted it up and said to Ningxiang.

"Well, remember to tell my aunt to give them some to try first, and then send some more after picking the fruit." Ning Xiang hugged her daughter and said.The little girl woke up on the way, because she didn't see her father crying, and now she was sullen, still sullen, staring at her and her second uncle with "indifferent" eyes that were out of the way.

"I'll go with my second brother." A Tao ran to her brother and said, she wanted to go to her aunt's house to play.

"The sun is shining, my sister should stay at home." Lu Yan still wanted to find a chance to talk to his cousin alone, since his sister's absence must be in the way.

A Tao pouted unhappily.

The little girl was satisfied when Lu Yan promised to buy delicious food.

After leaving the house, Lu Yan walked to the town. He was annoyed and wanted to think carefully on the way.

In a blink of an eye, his cousin was fourteen, and he didn't have much time to dawdle, especially now that it was not easy to go home. Lu Yan didn't want to be told by his family that his cousin had an engagement with someone else, and then regretted it.

Let's just say it, my cousin really doesn't want to marry, at worst, I won't see her again, and it's not like I haven't had a cold war, when she gets married...

But when he thought of the little girl whom he had stared at for more than ten years marrying someone else, Lu Yan's chest was filled with panic.

After a short distance, I arrived at the street where Zhou's family was located. When there was another house, someone from Zhou's family came out. The leader was a young man in white shirt. Dazzled by the sun, Lu Yan couldn't help frowning, and slowed down his pace.

"Ayu, let's go in, there's no need to send it off." Chen Yan stopped in front of his mule cart, turned around and said to Zhou Yu, who was wearing a green dress, with meaningful eyes.

The Chen family runs a grain store in the town, and it is the largest family in the neighborhood. Zhou Tianyou and Chen Yan's father are classmates, and the two families often travel around during the festivals. Today, Chen Yan's younger sister, Chen Ling, came to play with Zhou Yu, and Chen Yan came to pick him up. sister home.

Zhou Yu knew that Chen Yan liked him, but he didn't feel it when he was a child. In the past two years, everyone has grown up, and some thoughts can be seen. When he went to Chen's house last month, Chen Yan even found an opportunity to tell her his feelings alone.

It's just that Zhou Yu doesn't like him.

Chen Yan was polite and courteous in front of people from similar family backgrounds, and treated his servants extremely harshly. Zhou Yu still remembered that when he was a child, he went to play at Chen's house, and accidentally met a young man named Chen Yan who took a whip to beat a servant who made a mistake.After so many years, Zhou Yu is no longer afraid of Chen Yan, the "violent brother", but she can't understand Chen Yan's temper.

He lectures others at every turn, beats and scolds, and puts him in a bad mood.

But she didn't expect that Chen Yan hadn't given up yet, just now he stuffed a note into her hand, and she didn't know what he said.Because Chen Yan retreated away after finishing it, Zhou Yu couldn't return it to him without alarming others, so he had to make up his mind to burn it after reading it in a while, and never go to Chen's house again.

Pretending not to see Chen Yan's affectionate gaze, Zhou Yu single-mindedly saw off his good sister Chen Ling. When he went out, he found a figure in his peripheral vision. He looked over casually, and accidentally met Lu Yan's complicated gaze.He came so suddenly that Zhou Yu was inexplicably nervous, but fortunately he calmed down quickly.Glad that Lu Yan came, but also annoyed by Lu Yan's ambiguous attitude, Zhou Yu changed his mind and bid farewell softly when Chen Yan got into the car: "Brother Chen, go slowly."

The voice was slightly softer than usual.

Chen Yan's heart beat faster, he couldn't believe his ears, and looked over for proof, but his sweetheart had already turned around.

Looking at her hands, Chen Yan got into the cart with a heart full of apprehension and anticipation, and the mule cart left in the opposite direction to Lu Yan.

Zhou Yu turned his head to see him off, and when the mule cart was far away, he raised his foot and was about to enter.

"Miss, the Second Young Master is here." Her servant girl winked and reminded her.

Only then did Zhou Yu tilt his head in surprise, seeing the man who had already walked a few steps in this direction, he smiled affectionately and said, "Is the second cousin here to deliver the fruit?"

She smiled like a flower, but Lu Yan's face was not very good-looking, looking at the mule driveway: "Who was that person just now?"

Zhou Yu explained to him as if chatting, and then ordered the servant girl to go to the hall to prepare tea first. She walked slowly side by side with Lu Yan, "Daddy is in the shop, and my mother went to play cards at Qian's house in the back street. Besides delivering fruit, my second cousin also Anything else? If so, I'll send someone to invite them back."

"Don't bother, I'll leave after delivering the fruit." Knowing that his uncle and aunt were not at home, and his cousin must be studying in school at this time, Lu Yan felt better.For the time being, Chen Yan didn't pursue the way Chen Yan looked at his cousin. He picked a red fruit from the basket and handed it to Zhou Yu, "Wipe it with a handkerchief and eat it."

Zhou Yu hesitated for a while, put his hands behind his back strangely, and went to pick up the fruit after he didn't know what he had done.

Lu Yan frowned, and couldn't help but look down at her sleeve, only to see a piece of paper gently fall from behind her to the ground.Lu Yan immediately thought of Chen Yan. The fruit was picked up by Zhou Yu, and he quickly bent down to pick up the note. Zhou Yu looked at him suspiciously, and saw that his note could not be put in his sleeve, so he hurried to grab it, "Then It's mine, give it back to me!"

Lu Yan carried the basket and ran to the main room, unfolding the note with one hand while running, and saw that it said that he asked his cousin to go to the grove in the east of the town tomorrow morning. What is the name Yu'er sister!
Lu Yan was so angry that he almost threw the basket in his hand.

"I have something to tell you girls, you go to the shadow wall to watch, and the master and wife will report back in time when they come back."

Putting the basket at the door of the main room, Lu Yan ignored the little girl who was sitting on the chair angrily, and said to the maid with a cold face.

The little maid shivered in fear, not having the courage to resist at all, so she obediently went to the front to guard.

Lu Yan slammed the door shut.

How angry you are shows how much you care.

Zhou Yu bit the inside of his lips, suppressed the urge to laugh, and hummed, "I have nothing to say to you, return the note to me quickly."

"When did you get on good terms with him?" Lu Yan walked towards her with a sullen face, looking at the little girl's more beautiful face, thinking that she and Chen Yan might have met several times in private, thinking that Chen Yan might have After doing something to her that he always wanted to do but didn't dare to do, Lu Yan felt as if he was thrown into a pan of oil, tormented inside and out.

Zhou Yu hadn't read the note yet, but when he heard this, he frowned, stood up and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, I'm not on good terms with him!"

She thought it was Chen Yan saying that he liked her and begging her to agree, so she dared to show it to Lu Yan, didn't she?

Lu Yan didn't believe it, and angrily stuffed the note into her hand, "Look for yourself!"

The note had already been opened, Zhou Yu looked down, and saw that Chen Yan had shamelessly asked her out for a private meeting, his husband became angry, "Chen Yan bastard, what does he think of me, who is going to see him!"

Xiaoshulin is not a good place at first glance. At that time, there will be only the two of them, and she will not be able to ask for help if Chen Yan wants to do something wrong.When he came up with such a bad idea, did Chen Yan think that she liked him so much that he wanted to see him urgently, or did he think she was a fool who would go to see him regardless of her daughter's family's reputation?

"I will give him the note when Daddy comes back, so that he can see clearly what kind of virtue Chen Yan is!"

Putting the note into his sleeve pocket resentfully, Zhou Yu got angry for a while, then suddenly smiled, and gloated at the stupid man who was stunned by her reaction: "My father always thought Chen Yan was good, and he even asked me about it. As for his opinion, it’s okay now, after reading this note, I don’t need to spend any more time, he must be dissatisfied with Chen Yan.”

No matter how angry she was with her cousin, she couldn't let him misunderstand that she was going to have a private meeting with Chen Yan.

The little girl raised her head with open eyes.

Lu Yan stared blankly at his cousin, confused by all this.

Just looking at the note, the cousin seems to be on good terms with Chen Yan, but the anger that the cousin showed just now does not seem to be fake.

"You don't like him?" Suspicious, Lu Yan restrained his emotions, stared at her and said, "Why do you accept his note if you don't like him?"

Zhou Yu said helplessly: "Just now he stuffed it to me while no one was looking, and I didn't find a chance to return it to him."

Lu Yan didn't believe it or not, fearing that the little girl was lying and fooling people, he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the note, and I'll give it to my uncle."

"You hand it in." Zhou Yu took out the note without hesitation and put it in his hand.

Now Lu Yan really believed it.

He believed it, and his anger turned to Chen Yan. If he hadn't returned to the city tomorrow, he would have wanted to meet Chen Yan in the grove.

"Don't go to their house again." Sitting on the chair next to him, Lu Yan said coldly.

Zhou Yu clenched his hands, bowed his head and hummed.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Zhou Yu looked at the ground and counted silently in her heart until she counted to ten. Before the man could speak, she smiled wryly, turned her head towards the door and said, "Second cousin, go to the shop to find my father, otherwise he won't come back until dusk. I'm tired, let's go back to the backyard first."

After speaking, he stood up.

Lu Yan got up immediately and called her nervously, "Ayu..."

Zhou Yu stamped his feet and looked at the door in front of him.

Lu Yan stared at the delicate hairpin on her head, and didn't know what to say.

Zhou Yu didn't have the patience to accompany him, so he continued to walk forward, only took a step, the man called her again, this time instead of stopping, Zhou Yu quickened his pace.

She is angry!

Lu Yan suddenly forgot all his worries and hesitation, and only had to explain to her thoroughly that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.He strode to catch up, but he didn't dare to look at her. He pulled the little girl into his arms and pushed her against the door panel. He grabbed the back of her head with his big hands to prevent her from looking up, and said bitterly, "Ayu, I like you. You really can't see her." come out?"

If he doesn't like it, why does he care about her so much, even when she goes to the latrine, he always pays attention to her.

If he didn't like it, why would he take her every word to heart and specially give her a pair of colorful butterfly wings.

For so many years, what Lu Yan regrets the most is that he foolishly fought with her for two years, spent two years thinking about it in vain, and wasted two years.

What I fear most is that she looks down on him.

As if this was the last chance to hug her, Lu Yan hugged her tightly.

Zhou Yu laughed silently.

When did she like this cousin who she obviously hated before?

Was it when he said he went to Jiangnan because of her, or when he gave her a butterfly hairpin?
Do you like his heart for her, or his more and more outstanding appearance?

Zhou Yu couldn't explain clearly, she only knew that she was very happy now, that she liked being hugged so tightly by him, and liked the smell of him.

"If you don't tell me, how do I know that you like me?" Zhou Yu satirized his forehead against his shoulder in a low voice, "You threw me out of the house, you didn't take the initiative to apologize to me for two years, or you took me for a long time. You just came to our house, but you only asked your younger brother to go to the orchard with you, and won't take me with you?"

At first Lu Yan really thought she was questioning him, but when he heard the last two sentences, he finally heard the sour taste.

It was a complaint, a complaint that he hadn't come for a long time, a complaint that he didn't call her directly.

Why complain?
Lu Yan looked down into her eyes in disbelief.

Facing his cousin who had only been separated for two years since he was a child, Zhou Yu had nothing to be ashamed about when he said something he already knew. Instead, he gave him a hard look, "I thought you had to wait I just got married..."

Her seductive red lips were about to say something angry, but Lu Yan didn't want to hear it, and desperately needed to do something to vent his sudden ecstasy. He held her delicate face, lowered his head and kissed her lips.Don't look at Lu Yan's gentle appearance, he is from an out-and-out farming family just like his elder brother, and he eats tofu as soon as he eats it.

He gnawed so much that Zhou Yu's lips were swollen when they parted!
"go away!"

Zhou Yu pushed him angrily. After all, he did something shameful, and his face turned red.

"Uncle and aunt are back, I'll propose marriage to them." Just as his sweetheart was in his arms, Lu Yan couldn't bear to leave. He put one arm around her waist and the other held her little hand, staring at her greedily, "Ayu, let's get married first, wait for me If you save enough money, you can buy a house in the city, and if you move to the city with me, I won’t let you suffer.”

"When will you be able to save enough money?" Zhou Yu asked, poking his chest. It wasn't her snobbishness that forced him to buy a house, but her father's, because it was easy for his father to agree when his cousin had a house.

"By the end of next year, it should be about the same." Lu Yan calculated, "I have seen a few houses, and they are not too far from the city. They are all more than 200 taels, and those with two entrances are enough for us to live in." As long as she If he is willing to marry, it doesn't matter if he gets married later, he is not afraid to wait.

Zhou Yu frowned, buying a house at the end of next year, that means she can only marry him at the age of 17?
The little girl hated to marry, but Lu Yan understood it as disgust. Afraid that she would regret it, he immediately said, "Why don't I borrow some money from my elder brother first, so that I can buy a house this year." There are quite a few left after the third uncle's house.

"Let's talk about this time next year." Zhou Yu thought for a while, and looked up at him: "You have just become a shopkeeper, and your qualifications are low. If you propose marriage now, my father will probably think you are frivolous. Next year you can save a little money. Well, even if you borrow from the big cousin, you don’t have to borrow too much at once, and you don’t know what will happen to the orchard next year, so don’t spend all the money on you as soon as the big cousin has some money.”

The girls in the town usually listen to a lot of things and think a lot about things.

What Lu Yan likes most is her vision.When they introduced something fun to their cousin when they were young, the cousin would always look disdainful, first talking about their bad things, and then talking about the new things she had seen.At that time, Lu Yan hated his cousin's contempt for others, but he was also attracted by what the cousin said. Afterwards, he always thought of his cousin's arrogant appearance with her chin raised slightly.

It's really a hate-and-love thing.

"Then you promise not to change your mind this year?" Lu Yan rubbed her hand and said, he couldn't settle down, he was not at ease.

Zhou Yu snorted, turned his eyes away and said, "I really don't like you, so I won't agree to you now."

Now that he's taken a fancy to it, he won't change his mind casually.

Lu Yan heard the implication of these words, his heart was full of joy, and he bowed his head to kiss again.

He didn't feel comfortable kissing him at all, so Zhou Yu didn't want to come again, stomped on him heavily, and took the opportunity to run away.

Lu Yan chased after a few steps, seeing the little girl running to the backyard like a butterfly, Lu Yan touched the corner of his lips, and secretly decided to come again during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In a good mood, Lu Yan went to the butcher shop and bought a fat fish to take home.

Ning Xiang was coaxing her daughter under the cherry tree, when she saw the uncle coming in from the back door, she wondered, "Did the second brother find the money?"

Lu Yan didn't know how bright his smile was, so he asked unexpectedly, "Why did my sister-in-law say that?"

"Go look in the mirror and smile like you picked up silver." Ning Xiang teased him.

Lu Yan smiled and said nothing, his good deeds are more gratifying than picking up money.

"Guoer, what is this?" Lu Yan took the fish to tease his niece.

Guo'er is now curious about everything she sees, and her big black grape-like eyes are fixed on the fish in the second uncle's hand.

"Fish!" Anan said loudly, the little guy loves fish very much, or there is no farm kid who doesn't like chicken, duck and fish.

Guo'er looked at his elder brother, leaned forward and let out an ah. Of course Yu couldn't yell, but the tone was the same.

The daughter is smart and cute, Ningxiang kissed the little girl, and said to Lu Yan: "Then second brother clean up, let's stew fish tonight."

Lu Yan went to work briskly, while Anan staggered behind, trying to step on the swim bladder.

The second uncle left with the fish, and the elder brother also left, Guo'er yelled anxiously.

Hearing his sister's voice, Anan turned around and saw that her sister was facing him, looked at the fish again, was in a dilemma for a moment, finally chose her sister, and ran back, "Sister don't cry, brother will play with you!"

What Guo'er wanted most was not her elder brother, so she continued to call out to her second uncle.

Ningxiang smiled lowly, picked up her daughter and followed.

Anan blinked his eyes, bent down to pick up his sister's shoes, smiled and followed his mother, and went to see his second uncle Sha Yu with his sister.
