Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 196
When the first emperor passed away, the country mourned for three months. During this period, rituals, music, marriages, and banquets were forbidden.

So this year's New Year is very quiet, the common people made dumplings with vegetarian stuffing, and the family reunion is considered lively.

In February, the weather became warmer, so Lu Cheng bought wood and stone materials, and hired someone to build three rooms on the east side of Lu's house, next to them.With more people, the house was built quickly. By the end of February, the yard of the new house was cleaned up, and the house was equipped with brand new furniture. Ning Xiang and Su Yue looked through the almanac together, and chose to warm the pot on the ninth day of March. , it is the first banquet after the national funeral.

Warming pot, as the name suggests, is cooking in a pot. It is a custom here that when a new house is built, guests have to treat warm pots to celebrate.

The house belongs to Su Yue, so of course she decides who to invite.

Su Yue's reputation is not good, and her appearance is alluring, so she doesn't look like a "good woman". It stands to reason that the villagers should ignore her.But Suyue was lucky. She and Mrs. Lu Cheng, the richest daughter-in-law in the village, worshiped as godsisters. As the saying goes, you don’t look at the monk’s face to see the Buddha’s face. ?No, no matter how much you don't like it, you have to be polite. After a few months, some people see that Su Yue is a good person and accept her sincerely.

Therefore, Su Yue and Ning Xiang counted up the guests at ten tables.

Among them, there are only five or six tables for the relatives of the Lu family including the children, and for the rest, the familiar neighbors, each daughter-in-law leading the children, may not be enough for five tables.

"This banquet will cost a few taels of silver, right?" Su Yue looked at the list again, raised her head and teased Ning Xiang, "Add up, I owe you and my husband nearly 30 taels of silver." How much money Xiang spent, Su Yue had an account in mind.

"Then how do you plan to pay it back?" Ning Xiang asked with a smile.

"I want to borrow another 20 taels from you to start the cosmetics business."

How to live in the future, Su Yue had a plan in mind, listening to the noise of the children playing in the yard, she seriously summed up with Ning Xiang, "Isn't Lu'er good at making makeup? After you leave, I will be alone Living in Lengmeige is boring, so I go to learn from her every day, not to mention learning very well, and the things I make are more than enough for daughter-in-laws in villages and towns. Try it in the neighborhood first, and when the business is good, I will go to the town Let's rent a shop..."

If she saves a little, even if she loses money, she can still say that she has earned it, and slowly reveals her wealth, so as not to have to rely on Ningxiang to help her all the time.

"Then how do you sell it?" Ning Xiang felt that this method was feasible, but she didn't want Su Yue to show her face.

"I rely on you to help me introduce customers." Su Yue didn't want to show her face in public and hurt her daughter, so she pouted outside, "When you go to any house, introduce me, those daughters-in-law who want to buy come to me, wait for me Save some money, and then hire a small shopkeeper."

"Okay, the things you make are good, start selling them at a lower price, they will like them." Ning Xiang was very supportive.

"Mom, brother climbs a tree!"

Zhao Zhao suddenly ran in, opened the door curtain, and the fox looked anxiously at the mother on the kang.

Su Yue looked at Ning Xiang, and the two hurriedly got off the ground.

In the backyard of Lu’s house, Guo’er’s butterfly kite landed on the top of a cherry tree. Anan secretly moved a wooden bench from the old courtyard, intending to step on the bench to climb up the tree. Next, I held the bench for my brother, raised my head, and looked at my brother excitedly.

Ningxiang's stomach is four months old, and she dare not run quickly. Seeing that Anan is holding on to the tree trunk and thinking about how to lift her legs up, she dare not shout loudly, for fear of frightening Anan's child and falling down.Su Yue signaled her not to worry, she quietly approached, and when Ananguo'er noticed something was wrong and looked back, Su Yue stretched out her hand and hugged Anang down.

"Who told you to climb the tree?" Ning Xiang reprimanded her son who was getting more and more naughty without any scruples.

Anan didn't dare to be disrespectful to his mother, but glared at Zhao Zhao who was standing next to his mother to tell the truth.

"Brother stared at me!" Zhao Zhao timidly hid behind Aunt Xiang, hugging the elder's thigh to complain.

The Lu family loved her as their own daughter, Ningxiang treated Guoer Zhaozhao equally, and Amu liked Zhaozhao even more. Zhaozhao and Guoer lived a life of being pampered, so they would not indulge Ananji himself.Don't look at what Zhaozhao said pitifully, after hiding behind Ningxiang, the fox eyes looked at Anan proudly.

Ningxiang couldn't see it, Suyue Anang Guoer saw it, Suyue shook her head helplessly, Guoer laughed, only Anan was sued by the annoying little girl, and her own sister didn't help him, she was so angry He sipped tighter.

Ningxiang spanked Anan's butt three times as punishment, and he was not allowed to climb the tree again.

Anan was upset, and ran to the old landlord's house to sulk.

Guo'er continued to play with Zhaozhao carelessly, Ningxiang Suyue basked in the sun outside for a while, Ningxiang took a look at the old house, called her precious daughter over, and whispered a few words in her ear. Fan.

Guo'er smiled and nodded, and ran towards the old house.

Sister Zhaozhaoni also wanted to go, but Suyue stopped her in time.

My daughter is a little troublemaker, if she follows her, Anan will only get angrier.

In the east room, Anan lay sullenly on the kang and sulked.

He didn't like Zhaozhao. When Zhaozhao didn't come, his younger sister liked him the most. When Zhaozhao came, the younger sister ran to play with her. Zhaozhao's family built a new house, and the younger sister said she would move in to live with Zhaozhao.

"Brother?" My sister's voice came from the kitchen. Anan just wanted to agree, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth again and pretended to sleep.

Guo'er went to the west room to have a look, her aunt was not at home, she went out to play, there was no one in the room, remembering that her brother was sleeping in the east room with her third uncle, Guo'er ran here again, just about to open the curtain to enter the room, when Guo'er suddenly Feel a little thirsty.The water tank was too high for her to reach, so Guo'er ran into the house and saw her brother lying on the top of the kang, forgetting that she was here to coax her brother under the order of her mother, she stood in front of the edge of the kang and called her brother crisply, "Brother, I I'm thirsty, give me some water!"

Unlike coaxing people, Anan, who is angry and has no backbone, immediately sat up.

Guo'er lowered her head, grabbed her brother's shoes, and handed them to him.

Anan put on his shoes, jumped off the ground, and went out sullenly to scoop water for his sister.He was six years old, and the top of his head was higher than the water tank. He picked up a gourd and scooped up a little water with ease.Guo'er held the water tank with one hand, stretched her head forward slightly, and was ready to be fed by her brother.

The younger sister is beautiful and cute, Anan is not so angry anymore, he bows his head to feed his younger sister.

Guo'er took a sip, raised her head to swallow, then lowered her head to drink, drank three times in a row, wiped her small mouth, and smiled at her brother, "I'm full!"

Anan was also thirsty for no reason, so he drank the remaining water, put away the gourds, and led his sister back to the east room.

"Brother, why don't you go out to play?" Guo'er remembered the business, leaned on the edge of the Kang and raised her head to ask her brother.

Anan glanced at her and said nothing.

Guo'er raised her little hand to scratch her brother's nest, making him laugh.

Anan is not afraid of itchy, let her scratch.

The elder brother didn't laugh, Guo'er felt bored, so she put down her hand, seeing that her elder brother still didn't want to talk, Guo'er snorted and started to leave.

Anan's eyes immediately chased after him, but he just watched dryly, refusing to make a sound.

Guo'er walked to the door, looked back, and said crisply: "Are you going?"

Anan didn't go, angry that his younger sister liked Zhaozhao, took off his shoes with a sullen face, and went to the kang again.

Guo'er didn't know that her brother was angry, so she went back to the backyard by herself.

Ning Xiang was sitting under the cherry tree, saw her daughter coming out, and deliberately asked loudly, "Where's your brother?"

Guo'er walked towards her mother and replied seriously: "Brother is sleeping!"

When it reached Anan's ears inside, he was so angry that he was breathing heavily.

I wanted to hear what my sister said to my mother, but there was no sound outside.

Anan was lying on the kang by himself, thinking that his parents liked Zhao Zhao even more, and they seldom hugged him, even his second and third uncles and aunts. His uncle even touched Zhao Zhao's head more times than his younger sister. Now he is angry and his younger sister even looks at him. Can't come out, thought he was sleeping, and suddenly wanted to cry.

Anan wiped his eyes.

Zhaozhao had a mother who gave birth to her, but he didn't.

Mother spanked him just now.

Anan wiped his eyes again.

"Brother, are you crying?" Someone suddenly asked softly in front of Kang Yan.

Anan looked up and saw his younger sister's puzzled face, he didn't even want to take care of her now, he turned his face to the kang and didn't look back at her.

Guo'er blinked, and saw a bench in front of the east edge of the kang. Guo'er walked over, dexterously stepped on the legs of the bench, and then climbed onto the kang.After sitting still, Guo'er took off her little shoes, walked up to her brother, and tilted her head to see if her brother was really crying.

Anan didn't want to show it to his sister, so he turned around and lay down on his stomach.

Guo'er likes her brother lying on her stomach the most, so she smiled and stepped up to ride a big horse.

Anan moved his hands, but he didn't push his sister down, and let her play with her legs.

"Big Horse" didn't move, Guo'er was upset, and patted his brother on the back, "Brother, get up and play with me."

Anan pursed her lips.

Guo'er urged again.

Anan couldn't bear it any longer, and said sullenly, "Go to Zhaozhao and let her play with you."

"Zhao Zhao can't carry me on my back." Guoer thought that Zhao Zhao was not as tall as her, and explained to her brother.

Anan's mouth pouted, did Zhao Zhao's back move, and the younger sister went to find her?
"Then go find uncle." Uncle moved his back.

Guo'er immediately said, "Uncle has gone to school."

She always has a reason, Anan asked her to find her father and third uncle, but the little girl said that her father and third uncle were not at home.

"You don't like me anymore, I won't play with you." The whole family talked for a while, Anan couldn't find anyone, and finally spoke his mind.

After hearing this, Guo'er followed up as if answering the previous questions, "I like brother, brother plays with me on his back."

Anan loves to hear these words, the boy who is only six years old is easily satisfied, he suppressed a smile, turned to look at her, "You don't like me, you complained to bully me, you didn't help me, you played with her. "

Guo'er thought about it seriously, and it seemed that there was such a thing.

"You stare at Zhaozhao first." Guo'er looked at her brother, but she was fair.

"She filed a complaint first." Anan raised her voice.

This is a fact, and Guoer cannot refute it.

Anan was happy, and slowly helped his sister down. He sat up and whispered to his sister: "Zhao Zhao is bad, my sister should not play with her in the future."

Guo'er shook her head like a rattle, "Zhao Zhao is my younger sister, play with her."

"Then I won't play with you anymore!" Anan's face that had just turned clear became tense again, and he said fiercely, really angry.

Guo'er looked at her brother who was aggressive the first time, blinked her eyes, and when she blinked for the third time, tears appeared in Xingyan's eyes, and then she raised her head and burst into tears.Anan was stunned, terrified, and quickly coaxed her younger sister, Guoer was feeling wronged, all she thought about was her brother bullying her, pushed him away, and continued to cry.

Ning Xiang rushed over anxiously, opened the door curtain and asked, "What's wrong with Guoer?"

Hearing mother's voice, Guo'er stood up with her mouth open, wiped her eyes and walked to the edge of the kang, threw herself into mother's arms, hugged mother's neck and complained: "Brother doesn't play with me anymore! "

Ningxiang looked at her son.

Anan lied instinctively, "I didn't say..."

"Just say it!" Guo'er turned her head abruptly, ran over and beat her brother hard, and patted the top of his head with her little hand.

Anan only felt a little pain, but he felt wronged, tears welled up in his phoenix eyes, and he endured it.

The son is sensible, of course Ning Xiang feels sorry for her son, grabbed her daughter and spanked her buttocks, "Who told you to spank my brother?"

The bad temper of hitting people when you are angry can't be used to it.

Guo'er still wanted to be stubborn, but when she saw her brother lowered his head and wiped his tears, he moved his mouth, neither crying nor speaking.

"Go rub it for brother." Ning Xiang coaxed her daughter.Anan's temper is not that he admits to being born, but that he is too xenophobic, he doesn't play with children outside, even Zhao Zhao doesn't like it, he doesn't like it, and he doesn't like Guo'er playing with Zhao Zhao and neglecting him.Ningxiang tried to persuade her several times but it didn't work. She wanted to correct Anan's temperament through her daughter, but she didn't expect to make the child cry, not to mention how uncomfortable she felt.

Guo'er also knew she was wrong, she was pushed by her mother twice in a row, walked over obediently, rubbed her brother's head clumsily, "Does it hurt, brother?"

Anan lowered his head and shook his head.

Guo'er turned to look at her mother.

Ning Xiang gestured with her eyes.

Guo'er smiled cleverly, sat down, and wiped away the tears of her brother who was also sitting, "Brother, don't cry."

There were still tears on the younger sister's face. Anan looked at the younger sister, thinking that the younger sister had also been beaten by his mother, and his heart ached. He sucked his nose hard. Just as he was about to wipe away the tears, a big snot bubble popped out of his nose.

Ning Xiang almost laughed out loud, and turned her eyes away in time.

Guo'er stared at her brother's snot bubble curiously. Before she could figure out how the big bubble came about, the bubble burst.

"Brother has a runny nose!" Guo'er suddenly realized, and took out her small handkerchief to wipe for her brother.

Anan's face was red. He was six years old and knew that a runny nose was not good-looking.

Guo'er didn't think his brother with a snotty nose was ugly at all, nor did he think his brother was dirty, so he wiped his brother very carefully.

Ning Xiang said in a timely manner: "Is Anan still angry with my sister?"

Anan touched the underside of his nose to make sure it was clean, sucked his nose, shook his head, looked at Guo'er and said, "It's my fault, I made my sister cry."

"Come here." Ning Xiang called her son.

Anan knelt and rubbed in front of his mother.

Ning Xiang supported the boy's shoulders, took out a handkerchief and pinched his nose, and asked him to exert force, but it was clear that the flow hadn't been clean just now.

Mother is so gentle and likes him as before, Anan finally figured it out.

He made a mistake with his sister, and his mother beat them, not because he didn't like him.

"Okay, mother washes your face, let's go play with Zhao Zhao in the yard, shall we?" After wiping her nose, Ning Xiang looked at Anan tenderly, "Zhao Zhao is the youngest, Anan is the big brother, we have to let Zhao Zhao, Look at Uncle, he just likes the three of you, doesn’t he? Guo’er knows how to let Zhao Zhao, Anan is sensible, right?”

Anan nodded sincerely for the first time.

"I knew, mother's Anan is the best." Ning Xiang rewarded her son with a kiss.

Anan smiled shyly and looked back at his sister.

Guo'er didn't look at her brother, the little girl stared at her nose, trying her best to soak up the snot.

Ningxiang shook her head helplessly when her daughter was stupid, and asked Anan: "Your sister is really stupid, isn't she?"

Guo'er heard it and stared at her brother.

Anan smiled at his sister, "My sister is not stupid."

Guo'er was very satisfied, she ran over and kissed her good brother, and smiled after the kiss.
