Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 23
Tai'an Mansion, North City Gate.

A Tao yawned, lifted the quilt from her nephew, rubbed her eyes and sat up, "Brother, is sister Xu here yet?"

Lu Cheng was walking around the donkey cart with his son in his arms, glanced at the North City Gate, and said, "It should be soon."

Anan didn't understand what his father and aunt were talking about, the little guy was lying on his father's shoulder, staring curiously at the people on both sides of the official road with big eyes.He rarely went out, and when he was in the village, he played with his aunts and uncles at the gate of his yard, and rarely saw so many people at once.

A Tao looked at his nephew enviously, admiring that he was not sleepy at all, staring at the North City Gate for a while, the seven-year-old girl couldn't help complaining, "Sister Xu came so late, why did the elder brother have to get up?" It was so early, and it was the same last time, causing my third aunt to get up early and cook for us."

In the past, when they went to the city, they all walked back slowly after breakfast at the third aunt's house.

Lu Cheng looked at his sister's innocent and innocent face, and couldn't help but rejoice that his sister was young. If he was a few years older, he might have guessed wildly.

Just as he was thinking about how to fool him, Lu Cheng fixed his eyes and squeezed his son's little butt nervously, "A'nan, let's see who's here."

When Anan heard this, his little head immediately turned around.

It's a pity that there were too many people, tall and short, Anan didn't notice any special people, blinked, and looked at Dad suspiciously.

Lu Cheng stared at the figure at the city gate that was sometimes hidden by passers-by, his heart beating like a drum.

In front of the city gate, Ning Xiang walked very slowly, because she met Lu Cheng before leaving the city last time, this time she first noticed the various wooden carts parked inside the city gate, and there were several donkeys. Not from the Lu family.Standing under the city gate, she took a last look inside the city to make sure that he was really not there, so Ning Xiang walked out of the city in three steps and two turns.

When she came out, she saw a tall and straight man in front of her from a distance, standing beside the donkey cart, holding a baby boy in his arms and looking at her.

Seeing Anan's cute look looking around, Ningxiang smiled lightly, and quickened her pace towards the donkey cart.

Lu Cheng stood still, trying to restrain his worry and longing, and smiled at her naturally.

"Sister Xu!" A Tao knelt on the donkey cart and greeted Ningxiang while supporting the cart.

Only then did Anan find the right person, staring at Ningxiang who was getting closer and closer for a while, the little guy who had already forgotten the half-day relationship a month ago leaned on his father's shoulder cautiously, just like when they first met, acknowledging his life but He stared at Ning Xiang curiously again.

The boy couldn't remember himself, and Ningxiang felt a little lost.

Lu Cheng saw it, and took two steps towards Ningxiang with his son in his arms, bowed his head and taught him, "This is Aunt Xiang, Anan let Aunt Xiang carry her to her house for dinner last time, did Anan forget?"

Anan just forgot, because Ningxiang got too close all of a sudden, the little guy turned around and got into his father's arms.

Lu Cheng was so angry that he wanted to slap his son for not living up to him.

Ning Xiang was just a little bit disappointed, and she will be fine soon, after all, Anan is too young, and the two have only been together for half a day.Putting the burden on the donkey cart, Ning Xiang turned around, clapped her hands at Anan, and said with a soft smile: "Daddy is about to drive the cart, can Anan be hugged by aunt?"

She smiled very gently, and her beautiful almond eyes were very beautiful. Anan looked at her, a little moved, but still looked up at his father.

Lu Cheng looked at his son's hypocritical hesitation about whether to be hugged by others, and then thought of the situation where the little guy was crying and insisting on pestering Ningxiang last month, he was so angry that he wanted to laugh.

"Go, Aunt Xiang likes Anan the most." Lu Cheng encouraged him like a father.

Anan looked at Ningxiang again, and then tentatively leaned towards Ningxiang.

Ning Xiang reached out to take it, but Lu Cheng suddenly turned around, looked at her and said, "Get in the car first, and I'll give you Anan after you're seated."

Ning Xiang hummed, turned and got in the car.

Anan thought that the new aunt was going to leave, and she was a little anxious just now, so she yelled, wanting to chase after her.

Lu Cheng immediately made preparations for a big fight with his son at noon.

"Sister Xu sits on the mattress, it's warm here." A Tao obediently made room for Ning Xiang.

Ning Xiang smiled at her, sat down and handed over a bag of chestnuts, "A Tao eats chestnuts."

A Tao smiled and picked up an oiled paper bag from the side, "Brother bought it for me too."

Ning Xiang put her car down and turned to look at the side of the car.

Anan stretched out his hand to her impatiently.

The little guy fell in love with him quickly again, Ning Xiang was very satisfied, and happily took him over, that sincere smile blurred Lu Cheng's eyes, his son was already in his arms, and he was still standing in the car stupidly Beside, staring at Ningxiang.

Ningxiang lowered her head, wondering if Anan didn't pay attention, but Anan saw her father, the little guy likes the donkey cart moving the most, and knew that his father could make the donkey cart move, so she stretched out her little finger to point at the donkey, and commanded her father crisply, "Drive!"

He yelled a word crisply and accurately, as if his father was the donkey.

Lu Cheng's face immediately sank.

Ning Xiang lowered her head and suppressed a smile, fearing that Lu Cheng would scare Anan, she turned around holding Anan, and changed the subject in time, "Has Anan eaten?"

Anan looked at her, nodded obediently, and didn't see her father anymore.

Lu Cheng gently pinched his son's ears from behind, and went to the front to drive the car contentedly.

The donkey had a good sleep last night, and now he was full of energy and walked very fast. Soon the donkey cart left the bustling area of ​​the city gate, and the surrounding area became clearer and quieter. The one big and the young on the cart were chatting softly, either softly or crisply. The sound made the atmosphere very peaceful.

Ning Xiang took out the small gift she had prepared and handed it to Anan, shaking it in front of Anan's eyes, "Anan is one year old, my aunt sewed a small purse for Anan, and kept Anan for pocket change."

Anan had been staring at her hand when she was taking out her purse. Now seeing this red purse, the boy who had only seen his father's dusty purse widened his eyes. He didn't know what it was. In his hand, he lowered his head and fiddled with it.

Lu Cheng turned his head, and when he saw the purse in his son's hand, Tao Hua's eyes flashed an imperceptible greed, but he said to Ning Xiang with embarrassment: "Anan is so small, how can I use a purse, Miss Xu Or take it back to Amu."

Ningxiang smiled at him and said: "Amu already has it, brother Lu, you're welcome, I sewed it with the leftover scraps, at most it took a little sewing effort, it's not worth a lot of money, save it for Anan to play with. "

"money!"

Anan suddenly raised his head and said, I don't know how the little guy's hands are so skillful, he opened the purse, touched it in with his little hand, and grabbed two copper coins. The copper coins are very new, shining in the sun.

Anan was very excited, and showed off to his father, "Money!"

Lu Cheng looked at Ning Xiang helplessly, "You..."

"Just two pennies, to make Anan happy." Ning Xiang touched Anan's little head, smiled very gently, and taught the boy: "This purse is used to hold money. In the future, whoever gives Anan lucky money, Anan will be happy." Put it in your purse, remember?"

While talking, he snatched back the copper coins and put them in his purse, tightened the rope on it to show Anan, and then hung it around Anan's neck.Ningxiang deliberately chose a red cloth belt, and Anan put it on. The red purse was beautiful and festive, like the longevity lock worn by rich children.

"It's so pretty!" Ning Xiang lowered her head and kissed Anan on the cheek.

Anan giggled, Xiao Pang dangled the purse with his hands, then sat in Ningxiang's arms with his head down, continued to play with the purse, untied it, took out two coins, put it in and tied it, which seemed very easy to adults. Simple and uninteresting things, he played with relish.

A Tao also likes this purse made of silk and satin very much, so she leans over to coax her nephew, "Anan, can I show my aunt?"

She didn't want to rob her nephew, she just wanted to see the embroidery pattern on it.

"No!" Anan immediately twisted his small body and got into Ning Xiang's arms, clutching his purse and half throwing himself on Ning Xiang.

Nephew, be stingy, A Tao pouted angrily, seeing his nephew's white and tender buttocks exposed under his crotch pants, she poked it on purpose.

Anan is used to being pinched by his father, aunts and uncles, he doesn't care at all, and continues to hide from his aunt and play with his purse.

One nestled in her arms, and the other sat next to her. Lu Cheng was inexplicably sad, always feeling that all his thoughts were taking advantage of his son and sister.

Reluctantly turning his head, he suddenly saw a woman on the left side of the official road leading a little girl walking towards the official road. While walking, she looked at her donkey cart and ran a few steps when she felt that it was too late, obviously wanting to take a ride .

Lu Cheng thought for a while, then turned around and asked Ning Xiang, "Miss Xu, I think they want a ride, shall we give them a ride?"

Ning Xiang looked forward when she heard the words, and when she saw the mother and daughter who were hurrying on their way, she nodded and said, "Okay."

After finishing speaking, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, seeing Lu Cheng turn back, Ning Xiang finally figured it out.

He, this is his car, he can pull whoever he wants, why ask her opinion?
Is it because she is afraid that she doesn't want to squeeze in the car?
Just when she was puzzled, Lu Cheng stopped the car and said to the woman who was still some distance away: "Sister-in-law, go slowly, don't worry."

The woman was overjoyed, and gratefully replied: "Thank you, little brother is really a good person!"

Lu Cheng smiled.It's just a little effort, when he is away from home, if someone else has something to do, he will help if he can.

When the woman and mother boarded the cart out of breath, Lu Cheng continued to drive the donkey.

The woman was in her early twenties, she was quite good-looking, but she was a little darker. After getting into the car, she gasped for a while and said to Ningxiang: "Are the younger siblings fifteen? It really doesn't look like they have given birth. "

Because Ning Xiang was holding Anan, she misunderstood that Ning Xiang and Lu Cheng were husband and wife.

Ning Xiang blushed, and instinctively looked forward.

The four eyes met, and Lu Cheng's face was also a little red, sweet.Seeing that she was at a loss, he generously explained: "Sister-in-law misunderstood, it was Miss Xu from my neighboring village, we went home on the way, she helped me take care of the child."

The woman looked at the handsome man driving the car, and then at the beautiful girl blushing and bowing her head silently, feeling a little pity in her heart.The handsome man and the beautiful woman are such a good couple, they are not a family.

"Mother..." The girl next to her suddenly tugged at her sleeve.

"What are you doing?" the woman bowed her head.

The girl pursed her lips, her black eyes eagerly turned to the two packs of greased paper bags beside Ningxiang, and she called out to her again in a low voice.

It looked like eating, the woman was extremely embarrassed, and wanted to say something else to divert her daughter's mind.

Seeing Ningxiang, she smiled at the girl, hugged Anan in one hand, and took the oiled paper bag in the other.

Anan stared at her hand, saw that she grabbed two chestnuts and handed them to the dark girl opposite, the little guy was anxious, and hugged Ningxiang's hand, "No!"

Ning Xiang was stunned.

The chestnuts that were about to reach her mouth were stopped by someone, and the girl was anxious, she raised her head and urged her mother, "Mom, I want to eat!"

Anan looked at her, then suddenly raised his head, looked at Ningxiang and said, "Mother, no!"
