Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 25

When he got home, Lu Cheng parked the donkey cart, picked up his son who was still sleeping, and walked inside. When he got to the eaves, he saw that the stove hadn't lit a fire yet. When he entered the house, his two younger brothers were lying on the kang. Seeing that he didn't even want to get up!
Lu Cheng frowned, stared at his second brother Lu Yan and said, "Hurry up and cook, and plant corn in the ground after eating."

"Today's second uncle's house planting, we will help there in the morning, go to his house to eat at noon, and have to do it in the afternoon, let's talk about our family's tomorrow." Lu Yan lay on his hands with his head in his hands, not without complaining.In the past, regardless of spring planting or autumn harvesting, my family was almost always the first one in the village to finish the work. This year, because my elder brother kept procrastinating, I fell behind a lot.

Lu Cheng was a little surprised, looked out of the window and said, "How much is left at the second uncle's house?"

Lu Yan said: "With you and the donkey, let's work together, we can finish the work in less than an hour."

Pulling the plow with a donkey is light and fast. Without a donkey, it is estimated that we will be busy until dusk.

Lu Cheng looked at his 17-year-old second brother and 13-year-old third brother, they were all strong enough to do hard work, and said: "Then you can continue to help your second uncle's house in the afternoon, and I will lead the donkey to our property first. How much is planted first."

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows.He was not afraid of the hard work of plowing, but he couldn't figure out the reason why his eldest brother was so carefree before, so he sat up and was about to ask, when Anan woke up.Yawning, Anan rubbed his eyes, turning his black eyes around, scanning the familiar fathers and uncles one by one, and then looked at the aunt who had climbed into the kang, the little guy looked blankly in his eyes, and looked down at his chest.

There hung a red purse with two coins in it.

As if he was sure that he had really met Aunt Xiang, Anan looked at his father, opened his mouth and began to cry, calling his mother while crying.

Lu Yan looked at his nephew in surprise, and wondered while picking up his nephew, "Who taught him to call his mother?"

Lu Cheng didn't want to talk about it, A Tao on the kang said quickly: "Anan heard others calling mother, so he called sister Xu's mother. This time, sister Xu came home while he was asleep, and Anan cried when he didn't see anyone."

"Did you meet her again when you came back?" Lu Yan looked at his brother suspiciously.

It was a coincidence that my eldest brother met Miss Xu last month, and this time he met...

Before Lu Cheng could refute, Lu Yan's heart moved, he stared at his elder brother and asked, "Brother didn't enter the city on purpose this time, did he?"

It must be, he wondered why his elder brother chose to go to the city during the busy season, so he went to pick him up specially!

Of course Lu Cheng would not admit it, and said sullenly: "What nonsense, hurry up and coax Anan, I'll go to the second uncle's house to see."

Finished talking and left.

Lu Yan shoved his nephew to his third brother, and chased after his elder brother, "Brother, is that Miss Xu pretty?"

He knew that the relationship between his brother and Miss Feng was innocent, and he also knew that Anan was not his brother's flesh and blood, so his brother who had been single for so many years was finally enlightened, and Lu Yan was eager to find out the ins and outs.Based on his understanding of his elder brother, he is easy to be tempted, and if he is tempted, he will try every means to marry him.

That is to say, that Miss Xu will most likely be his sister-in-law.

Lu Cheng didn't speak all the time. Seeing that his second brother was still chasing after him at the gate, he turned around suddenly: "Nonsense, I'll take a fancy to it if it doesn't look good? Don't ask questions, go back to the house and coax Anan."

The third brother is dull and not good at talking, and the younger sister is too young. Only the second brother who is talkative and thoughtful is good at coaxing children, and Anan kisses him even more.

The elder brother admitted it himself, Lu Yan rubbed his hands excitedly, and his thoughts turned faster, "In the first month, you said that the land of the Liu family was bought by their villagers, so it must have been bought by the Xu family, right? Big brother, big brother, you can do it , you want to lead a donkey to plow the land for the Xu family, but you use your own brothers as donkeys?"

He guessed it all, Lu Cheng simply didn't hide it, stared at him and said, "You don't want to?"

How could Lu Yan be unwilling, as long as the eldest brother could marry a wife he wanted, he would be willing to be a donkey for the eldest brother to plow the Xu family's land.

Seeing the constriction in his eyes, Lu Cheng coughed, and said in a deep voice: "Don't say anything before you even write your horoscope."

"Brother, don't worry, I promise I won't ruin your business!" Lu Yan immediately promised, with sparkling peach eyes and a smirk.

Lu Cheng didn't believe him very much, so he asked again.

Lu Yan thought he was long-winded, so he ran back to the house to coax his nephew. The little guy kept crying, and his heart ached.

Lu Cheng stood at the door for a while, shook his head, and went to his second uncle's house.

Liuxi Village.

Mrs. Li didn't want her delicate niece to work in the fields, so she persuaded her: "I don't need her help for Qiu'er, and don't go for Xiang'er, too. It doesn't look good if your hands are rough. You are serving in the Hou's mansion, so you have to be more careful about it. Don't be in the way of the master's eyes. I heard that the big family has many rules, and your clothes are also related to the face of the prince, right?"

Outsiders all muttered that her niece wanted to climb high, but Li Shi never thought that way.The eldest son in the niece's mouth is a gentleman, so Li felt that the niece became the first-class maid by relying on her own ingenuity. Naturally, she hoped that the niece would not lose to others in every way, so as not to be squeezed out by the second-class maid.

They are all maids, and the eldest maid is decent and has more monthly money. The niece's status is firm, and she can save enough money to redeem herself and go home early.

The elder thought too much, Ning Xiang laughed and said: "I only help with some planting, how can I get rough hands."

After dinner, he insisted on going out with Xu Shouliang's family.

Five-year-old Amu is holding his sister's hand, because he is very happy to be able to farm with his sister, unlike the children of the next family who want to be lazy when it comes to farming.The younger brother is sensible, Ning Xiang is very relieved, thinking about buying more delicious food for the younger brother next time she goes home.

Walking to the west of the village, it can be seen that many villagers are working in the crop fields.

Ning Xiang looked at her own field, but saw someone pulling a donkey to plow the field next to her, and a donkey cart was parked beside the field, and a little girl in a red shirt was sitting there with her head down, not knowing what she was doing.Ningxiang looked at the seven or eight-year-old girl from a distance, and suddenly thought of the Lu family brothers and sisters, but felt that it was not such a coincidence, and when they parted before the meal, A Tao was wearing an embroidered white shirt...

"Sister, is that person Brother Lu?"

Here she was denying her conjecture, while Xu Qiu'er beside her was suddenly not sure.

Ning Xiang's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the man pushing the plow with one hand and driving the donkey with the other, and she really looked like Lu Cheng.

When she got closer, she looked at A Tao who hadn't noticed them on the ground, and Ning Xiang felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

It's a coincidence that my land is next to Lu's, isn't it?
However, Liu Quan, who sold the land, did say that the house next door is three brothers.

"A Tao!" Xu Qiu'er shouted with a smile when he was approaching.

A Tao was coaxing her sullen nephew in her arms, when she heard Xu Qiuer's voice, she turned her head to look over, and the first thing she saw was Ningxiang next to Xu Qiuer.Overjoyed, Ah Tao immediately supported his nephew to stand up, "Anan, look who is coming?"

Anan is still angry!
He was angry with his father and also angry with his aunt. When his aunt told him to look east, he wanted to turn his head to the west, and his small body was also tilted that way.

Ningxiang couldn't see the little guy's face, thinking that Anan was playful, so she kept quiet for the time being.

Instead, Amu called Anan enthusiastically.

Anan slept all the way home in the morning and didn't see Amu. He hadn't seen Amu for a month. Even Ningxiang was familiar to him again. Of course, he didn't remember Amu's voice, and his little head was still tilted to the west, ignoring his aunt's friend.

A Tao nodded her nephew's head, and said with Ningxiang as if complaining: "Sister Xu, Anan woke up and didn't see you, she got angry, didn't eat lunch, and ignored everyone, my elder brother wants to hug him more It's anxious when you touch it, just like looking at an enemy."

Ningzhu looked at Anan in shock, the little guy really has such a big temper?
When Anan heard her aunt calling sister Xu, she blinked, and slowly turned her head. Seeing that Aunt Xiang was really here, the little guy's face was like a rainy day suddenly turning sunny, his eyes lit up, and his little mouth grinned. In a hurry, he stepped towards Ningxiang.

Ning Xiang was worried, seeing the little guy opened his mouth wide, fearing that he would call his mother again, so he called out first, ran over to hug Anan, and whispered: "Don't call your mother, Anan calls your aunt that she doesn't like you anymore."

Two or three-year-old children often hear the threat of "I don't like you if you don't do anything". Anan looked up at Ningxiang with her eyes swollen from crying, and saw that she didn't seem to be teasing him. Be good, little guy Nodding, she hugged Ningxiang's neck very dependently, and leaned on her shoulder with grievances, "hug."

Ning Xiang's heart instantly turned into water, and she kissed his face and said, "Well, my aunt likes Anan the most."

"Uncle and aunt." At this moment, Lu Cheng had already walked over, his eyes quickly swept over Ningxiang and his wife who were hugging each other. He first greeted Xu Shouliang and his wife, and said unexpectedly: "When I came back at noon, I heard that the eldest girl said that she would plant the land in the afternoon. I didn't expect her home to be here." After speaking, he looked into the distance, "How far is it?"

Xu Shouliang and his wife looked at each other.

Amu smiled and ran to his own land, stomping the tunnel under his feet and said: "This is our land!"

Lu Cheng looked at Xu Shouliang and his wife in disbelief.

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "What a coincidence, it's next to your family's land. You are also farming today?"

Lu Cheng obviously hadn't regained his composure, so he was stunned for a while before he said: "Tomorrow, my second and third younger brothers went to help someone else's house. I just came back from the city, so I'll plow the land first..." He said and looked Looking at the big picks in the hands of Xu Shouliang and his son, he suddenly said: "Well, I'm not in a hurry anyway, I'll help you plow the land first."

Hearing the words, Ning Xiang walked over with Anan in her arms, and stopped with Li Shi: "No need..."

"It's okay, you only have two acres of land, and it will be plowed in a while." Lu Cheng strode into the field while talking, and after walking for a while, he turned back and called Xu Huai, "Come and help me lead the donkey, two people plow faster."

"This..." Xu Huai looked at his mother inquiringly.

Mrs. Li shook her head amusedly, "Go, Lu Cheng is so enthusiastic, I remembered that Liu Quan's wife often praised the three brothers next door for their hard work, but it's not just Lu Cheng and his three brothers." These three brothers have no father or mother It can still grow so well, it is really a natural seedling.

Xu Shouliang had some prejudices against Lu Cheng, but because of Liu Quan's praise, he knew that Lu Chengen was willing to help others. He looked at the niece who was hugged by Lu Cheng's son tightly, but he didn't think about it, and said to Li: "Then I Go dig the ridges, and you two will plant after them, they plow quickly."

Mrs. Li responded, filled the corn seeds in a rough pottery pot, called her daughter to go to work, and told Ning Xiang to watch over the three children before leaving.

Amu refused to be obedient, and ran to Lu Cheng and Xu Huai to watch them plow the field.

Someone helped to coax the nephew, A Tao saw that there was a big bowl next to the sack where Xu's family packed the corn seeds, she grabbed it and filled the seeds to help.It was Ning Xiang's bowl, and Ning Xiang hurriedly stopped her: "Give it to me, Ah Tao, and you come to coax Anan..."

"No!" Anan hugged her even tighter, glanced at the short aunt, and turned his head in disgust.

"Hmph, I don't want to coax you yet!" A Tao was so angry that he slapped his nephew's butt and ran away with the bowl.

Anan rubbed against Ningxiang, seeing that there were only the two of them left on the ground, the little guy slowly relaxed, and pointed to the donkey cart to signal Ningxiang to go.

Ning Xiang walked over helplessly, lifted the coarse cloth that Anan was pointing at, and saw a white porcelain bowl underneath, with a big egg inside.

"Hello!" Anan lowered his head and said, when he opened his mouth, the saliva flowed down.

He didn't eat in anger at noon, the little guy was hungry, but he was angry with his father, it didn't mean he didn't notice that his father brought eggs into the car.
