Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 85
Seeing Guan Ping repel thieves neatly, Xu Qiu'er was very envious, and pestered Guan Ping to teach her the two tricks to deal with bad guys.Guan Ping couldn't help her coquettish pleading, and led someone to teach in the backyard.The moves are easy to learn, and Xu Qiu'er quickly made them look good, but when she mischievously teased her mother, Li threw her daughter away with a flick of her arm.

"You don't have any strength at all, what's the use of you just knowing how to move?" Li Shi mercilessly mocked her daughter.

Xu Qiuer shook her arms angrily, and asked Guan Ping how to train strength.

Mrs. Li rushed to answer for Guan Ping: "It's not easy to practice strength. Every day, I hold Amu and walk around our village. After a long time, I will keep you stronger than a calf." Before I finished speaking, I laughed .

Amu leaned against her sister's arms, and laughed haha ​​when she heard the words.

Xu Qiuer glared at her cousin viciously, "Laugh again, I will go to my cousin's house for dinner the day after tomorrow, and I won't grab candy for you."

Last month, I went to my cousin's house to celebrate my nephew's third birthday. In a blink of an eye, the little guy will have another full moon.

Ning Xiang smiled and asked Li Shi while choosing leeks, "Have you named your little nephew?"

Mrs. Li smiled all over her face, "No, I think I will get a nickname this time. You haven't seen Xiang'er. That child has a birthmark like a copper coin on his wrist. He will definitely earn money when he grows up. Last time you told me My sister-in-law even joked that her nickname is copper coins."

Ning Xiang read softly, and joked: "Copper coins sound nice."

"Well, it sounds better than Amu anyway." Xu Qiuer said with a smirk.

Amu was upset, and turned around not to show the second sister.

The mothers were talking and laughing.

Guan Ping sat beside him silently, choosing the leeks in his hand with all his heart.

At noon, Mrs. Li made a leek box, and the stuffing was mixed with eggs. Although the leek stuffing smelled strange afterwards, it tasted really delicious.

Ning Xiang ate a few mouthfuls, and suddenly remembered that when she and Lu Cheng were eating porridge at the porridge shop, A Tao said that Lu Cheng loved leek stuffing the most.

Inadvertently, I thought of him again.

She lost her appetite all of a sudden, so she reluctantly ate one and drank some millet porridge, then Ning Xiang put down her chopsticks and sat beside her to watch her family eat.

"I'm full." Xu Huai was the second to put down his chopsticks, got up and walked outside.

Mrs. Li asked her son puzzledly, "You don't go home every day these days, what did you do?"

"Go around and see if there is any work to do." Xu Huai said without looking back, and quickly walked out of the gate.

Mrs. Li continued to chatter a few words.

Xu Qiu'er secretly glanced at Guan Ping, feeling worried for her elder brother, but he was determined not to tell her what happened, and she could not ask Guan Ping directly.But Guan Ping lives at home, and the days to come will be long, so my brother may not have a chance.

"A'nan hasn't come for a few days, right?" Xu Qiu'er went to the west courtyard to look for her cousin after a long break, and suddenly asked, the boy is cute, she was thinking about it.

"Maybe I'm busy at home." Ning Xiang said casually, lowering her head to help Guan Ping cut the fabric.

Guan Ping doesn't know how to make clothes, and the eldest aunt loves money and doesn't allow her to buy ready-made clothes in the shop, saying that she helps to make them.Ningxiang didn't want to bother her aunt, so she planned to make a summer dress and autumn clothes for Guan Ping by herself.

Xu Qiu'er looked at the door of the West House, lay down on the kang, and asked her cousin in a low voice, "Sister, brother Lu recently..."

The smile on Ningxiang's face froze instantly, and she reprimanded her coldly, "Now that there are more people in the family, you are not allowed to mention him again."

Xu Qiuer was frightened by her appearance, and nodded quickly.

Ningxiang felt that she was too strict, and when she saw that her cousin was too scared to speak, she sighed and said in a low voice: "Sister can tell you some things, but she doesn't want others to know, Qiu'er, I wasn't angry with you just now ,that is……"

"I know, my sister has the thinnest skin, so I just don't say anything." Xu Qiu'er smiled sweetly, and there was no need for an apology from her cousin.

"I'll make you a body later on too." Ning Xiang coaxed softly.

Xu Qiu'er smiled joyfully, the cousin Nvhong is good, the flowers embroidered are much more beautiful than those embroidered by her mother.

After coaxing her cousin, Ning Xiang turned her gaze back to the fabric, feeling a little strange in her heart.In the past, the longest time Anan came from home was four days, but this time it has already passed. Is it really busy, or Lu Cheng is too obedient, in order to avoid suspicion, he does not allow Anan to come?

After guessing wildly all night, Lu Ding sent Atao Anan the next day.

"Girl, it hurts!" Anan felt aggrieved when he saw his mother again, and held up his chubby hand to show her.

Ning Xiang lowered her head, and saw that the little guy had a hole-like scar on the thickest part of his palm. Although the scab had scabbed over, it made her heart twitch.

"How did you do it?" Ning Xiang held Anan's wrist and asked Lu Ding distressedly.

Lu Ding didn't dare to look at her, and lowered his eyes and said: "I coaxed Anan that day, and someone called me outside. I saw that Anan was playing well, so I didn't take him out. I heard him crying when I got outside. I went in and took a look. I saw him take out a piece of wood that was placed between the cupboard and the water tank. There were nails on the wood, and he accidentally pricked his hand..."

In the evening, the eldest brother came back and beat him several times with the board.

Being pierced by a nail, Ningxiang felt pain just thinking about it, she lowered her head and kissed Anan's forehead, "Does Anan still hurt?"

Anan nodded obediently, rubbed his mother's shoulder aggrievedly, "Daddy scolded."

When Ning Xiang heard this, Lu Cheng's frightening expression of yelling at Anan with a sullen face immediately appeared in her mind.

How much she complained about Lu Cheng not being able to coax Anan, how much she felt sorry for Anan now, but she didn't blame Lu Ding, who was already blaming himself, hugged Anan and explained to him: "Don't blame yourself, children are naughty, Even if you stare under your nose every day, you will inevitably be negligent, and I don't blame you."

Lu Ding hummed, and was about to leave when he suddenly found that there was an extra person in the Xu family.

Guan Ping had observed him a long time ago, and at this moment, his eyes were lowered, and he stood silently aside. If Lu Ding hadn't looked at her more, he would not have noticed her.

Seeing Lu Ding staring at Guan Ping, Xu Qiuer smiled and pulled Guan Ping to introduce him, "This is my sister Guan..."

Knowing that she was an orphan taken in by his future sister-in-law, Lu Ding turned a few corners in his heart, nodded to Guan Ping, and said goodbye to Ning Xiang, "Sister, I'm leaving first, and I'll pick them up later."

"Come back later in the afternoon. At noon, A Tao Anan will eat at our house." Ning Xiang hesitated for a while, looked at the boy leaning on her arms, and quickly made a decision.If Guan Ping really wanted to be suspicious, then no matter how long Anan stayed at home, she would become suspicious.

Lu Ding didn't refute, and told his sister: "A Tao, listen to sister Xu, and don't make any trouble."

A Tao obediently hummed.

Lu Ding drove away.

Ning Xiang carried Anan into the house, Xu Qiu'er, Li Shi and others all went in, Guan Ping took the initiative to go to the Westinghouse, which did not affect their reception of guests.

Seeing how young Lu Ding was, he still called Ning Xiang his elder sister. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem to have that kind of thought for Ning Xiang. Ning Xiang even regarded him as a junior, so there was nothing to doubt.As for why Ningxiang likes Lu's children so much, this girl takes good care of her, the bad guy Pei Jinghan sent to stare at her, and it's not surprising that she likes a two-year-old beautiful child.

Leaning against the wall, Guan Ping closed his eyes and listened to the daily conversation in the east room as a habit.

"Anan is not allowed to touch things indiscriminately in the future, remember?" Ningxiang sat on the kang with Anan in her arms, her heart ached, and she had to teach what should be taught.

This is what Anan heard the most these days. He nodded very seriously, and looked at the people in the room with big eyes. Suddenly, he turned shy and hid in his mother's arms. He hugged his mother with his left hand, and his right hand seemed to have eaten Many times, as if suffering, he only put his wrist on his mother's arm, and the chubby hand was hanging in the air.

Ningxiang can completely imagine the situation when the little guy hurts herself unintentionally after being injured, or presses the table to get up when eating, or accidentally touches her hand when she sleeps at night, the right hand is such a commonly used part, such a young child has to hurt several times Will subconsciously no longer use it?
Distressed, but helpless.

On this day, Anan didn't intend to go out with Amu to play, and Ningxiang didn't leave his side, she sat on the kang and coaxed the little guy, and at noon she even fed him with her own hands, without any distractions.

After enjoying a day at his mother's house, the third uncle came to pick him up in the middle of the day, and Anan cried again, reluctant to leave.

Ningxiang coaxed Anan for a quarter of an hour before she got into the donkey cart willingly, and the donkey cart walked slowly. The little guy sat in the arms of his aunt, looking at his mother with tears in his big eyes.

"This child is so pitiful without a mother." Li said softly.

Ning Xiang looked at the little guy who was about to turn the corner, and felt empty in her heart, as if it was really her own child.

But he said that when Anan returned home, he received no less love than at Xu's house.

Usually, Lu Cheng would wash his hands and face in the yard first when he came back, but these days he went straight to the house, only to feel at ease when he saw his son was doing well.

"Daddy!"

Anan was playing beside the quilt, and when he saw his father, he ran outside happily.

"Did you see Aunt Xiang today?" Lu Cheng kissed his son and asked while checking his wound.

Anan grinned and nodded, "Auntie, hello!"

Lu Cheng looked at his third brother unexpectedly.

Lu Ding said: "The two of them ate there at noon. By the way, brother, the Xu family took in an orphan girl a few days ago, named Guan Ping. I don't look like an ordinary person."

Unlike ordinary people?

Lu Cheng frowned, "Why do you say that?"

Lu Ding recalled Guan Ping's demeanor, thought it over and said, "It just doesn't look like a beggar, and I don't know the rest."

Lu Cheng looked at the ground and thought for a while, then said in a relaxed tone, "I'll see it with my own eyes on the day I picked the fruit."

It's been a few days, and someone whose origin is unknown, he chased her away.

He was thinking about Ningxiang, Zhang Honglin was also discussing with his mother Cui Shi in the Zhang family ten miles away.

"Mother, are you sure that my cousin and aunt are not at home tomorrow?"

Cui was very sure, stared at her son and said: "I heard from the Liu family that the Fang family will hold a full moon tomorrow, and the family of four will definitely go. Honglin, listen to your mother, that stinky girl is cruel, instead of wasting time going to To coax her, why don't you give her some color at once, if it's done, are you afraid that she won't think about you?"

Zhang Honglin thought for a moment, then nodded slowly.

The cousin is very beautiful, and he really doesn't want to use such a low-level method to get her, but she doesn't know how to be interesting, so don't blame him for not being sympathetic.
