farmer's little girl

Chapter 3 Two Acres of Field

"Wipe your tears quickly, my Yue'er is so beautiful, be careful to let the tears run down your face."

Mei looked at her daughter with a smile, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and asked her what kind of nightmare she had, and she was so frightened that she cried.

Lu Jiaoyue greedily clings to her mother's arms, reluctant to lose the arm holding Mei's.Hearing her mother ask herself this question, she didn't know how to answer, so she could only say that she dreamed of getting married, leaving her parents and brothers, and would only cry when she felt sad.

Mrs. Mei sighed amusedly, and was about to say something when Lu Minghai hurried in with a bowl of egg water.

"Yue'er drink it quickly, drink it while it's hot, dad put sugar in it for you." Lu Minghai laughed, his dark and upright face was full of a loving smile.

The Lu family is a farmer's family, and the family is not very rich.Things like egg white sugar are considered very expensive things in the eyes of country people, but Lu Minghai and Mei Shi have always loved their only daughter, but they have never been careless about such things.

It's just that the Lu family has a large population and has never been separated, so some things are always inconvenient.Lu Minghai and Mei felt sorry for their only daughter who was born weak, so they used the second bedroom's private house to open a small stove to supplement their daughter's health.Since Lu Jiaoyue was young, an egg every day was unshakable, even the men in the second room, that is, Lu Jiaoyue's brothers, did not get this kind of treatment.

If you eat too much of anything, you will get tired of it, but Lu Jiaoyue likes the egg water very much.

The so-called egg water is to break up the eggs, wash them with boiling water, and add sugar.The unique aroma of egg flower is paired with the sweetness of white sugar. Whenever Lu Jiaoyue cried when she was a child, Lu's father and Lu's mother would always stop her crying by bringing a bowl of egg water.After that, Lu Jiaoyue grew up slowly and became obedient and sensible, and this habit has not changed.

Until now, until Lu Jiaoyue got married, no one served her such a bowl of egg water full of love.

The billowing heat moistened Lu Jiaoyue's eyes again. At this moment, she still couldn't tell what was going on in front of her eyes, but she was grateful to God for allowing her to come back to life and see her real parents again. .

After drinking the egg water and being hugged and coaxed by her mother for a while, Lu Jiaoyue felt a burst of exhaustion and began to feel drowsy again.In a trance, I felt that my mother put her on the kang, and covered her carefully with a quilt.

"Father, it seems that our daughter is interested in the Du family's marriage." Seeing her daughter asleep, Mei whispered to her husband.

Lu Minghai gave him a questioning look.

Mei's face showed hesitation, while gently pulling the man out, he said in a low voice: "If not, let's agree to the conditions of the Du family..."

As the door was gently closed, Mei's voice gradually became inaudible, but Lu Jiaoyue suddenly sat up from the kang.

If she was still immersed in the joy of seeing her parents again before, now she heard what her mother said, combined with everything she heard before, there is nothing she can't understand.

She got off the kang, put on her shoes, and went to the dressing table.

There was a small bronze mirror upside down on the dressing table, Lu Jiaoyue picked it up with trembling hands, and looked at herself.

The girl in the mirror is only about fourteen or fifteen years old, just in her cardamom age, with black hair and snow skin, almond eyes and red lips, and a smooth and fair face with a hint of immaturity, but without losing the beauty that a girl should have.

Lu Jiaoyue knew that she was good-looking when she urinated. When she was a child, she was the most beautiful and lovely girl in the nearby villages. When she grew up, she naturally became the most beautiful girl in several nearby villages.

The Lu family is not a rich family, at best it can be regarded as an ordinary farmer's family, but Lu's father and Lu's mother love this only daughter very much. It's pampered.

Those wretched women in the village would always criticize and comment that Lu Minghai and his wife doted on their daughter so unreasonably, which country girl didn't urinate and help the family with work, and some worked in the fields to be a male envoy. Lu Jiaoyue from the Lu family alone is the other kind.

But I have to say that Lu Jiaoyue has been raised well, not only is she good-looking, she also has a good temper, she speaks softly and is kind.Not even the most unkind woman could say anything unkind to such a girl.

Generally, the daughters of rural families get engaged at the age of twelve or thirteen, and it is just right to get married when they are fifteen or sixteen.Lu Jiaoyue was born well, and in the past few years, people came to propose marriage frequently, but Lu Minghai and his wife were reluctant to part with their daughter and wanted to keep her for a few more years.That's why Lu Jiaoyue is now fifteen years old, and she hasn't gotten engaged, let alone married.

Yes, at this time Lu Jiaoyue already knew what time it was, it was the eve of her and Du Lian's engagement back then.

Speaking of the previous marriage between Lu Jiaoyue and Du Lian, it would be a bit far away.

Du Lian's mother-in-law, Widow Du, is the eldest son of the Lu family, that is, the younger sister of Lu Jiaoyue's eldest aunt, Hu Shi, and it was Hu who negotiated the marriage between Lu Jiaoyue and Du Lian.At that time, Du Lian was sixteen and had just passed the Tongsheng exam, and Lu Jiaoyue was already fifteen, so no matter how reluctant Lu Minghai and his wife were to part with their daughter, they should start planning a marriage for her.

Lu Jiaoyue was born well, and the Lu family was well-off, while the Du family's family was poor, but Du Lian was promising.Therefore, after Hu's agreement, and Lu Minghai and his wife were very satisfied with Du Lian, the two families got married.

The next year Lu Jiaoyue married into the Du family.

At that time, Lu Jiaoyue had never experienced such a situation. When she got married, in addition to the dowry prepared for her, the family also married two acres of high-quality fertile land.

You must know that most of the rural families are not rich. When daughters of ordinary families get married, the dowry is nothing more than quilts, furniture, clothes, etc., and there is even no dowry.However, Lu Minghai and his wife married their daughter with two acres of good fertile land, which caused quite a stir in the nearby villages at that time.

Everyone said that Lu Minghai and his wife were in a daze. Farmland is the lifeline of a country family, and it is passed on to future generations. There is no reason to marry a daughter as a dowry.

Because of this matter, the old man Lu and Mrs. Cui once reprimanded the second-wife couple, but because the second-wife couple persisted, and because the two mu of fertile land did not use the money from Lu's family, Mrs. Mei bought it with her own dowry. They can't say anything except dissatisfaction in their hearts.It's just that it caused a lot of conflicts in Lu's family, so Lu Jiaoyue was very impressed at that time.

Lu Jiaoyue is a sensible and filial girl, knowing that the two acres of land she married as a dowry has caused a lot of trouble to her parents, she has refused more than once.After all, she is not the only one in the second room, she also has three brothers, they will marry wives and have children in the future, and father and mother have to plan for their future.

But in the end Lu Jiaoyue was still persuaded, not only Lu Minghai and his wife persuaded her, even her eldest brother Lu Guangyi also came forward.Lu Guangyi said that the Du family's family was not well off, and that the two acres of land were subsidized to the young couple, and they would serve as the basis for their livelihood in the future.The family didn't ask for anything else, they just wanted Du Lian to treat Lu Jiaoyue well, and they were all family members, so that if Du Lian became successful in the future, he could also help the family.

This is the meaning of the family, and it is also the reason that finally convinced Lu Jiaoyue. She always kept it firmly in her heart, thinking that if Du Lian becomes successful in the future, she must not forget the great kindness of her natal family.

It's a pity that in the end, Du Lian's family didn't get any light from Du Lian's family, and even because of her burden, countless money and food were posted into the bottomless pit of Du's family.Father and mother always had to look at Widow Du's face, and only hoped that she would treat him better.In the end, the elder brothers and younger brothers all became relatives and married their daughter-in-law. Because they subsidized her secretly, the sister-in-law and younger brothers and sisters made a lot of troubles, and the eldest brother died because of her.

Every time Lu Jiaoyue thought of all this, she couldn't calm down, and even resented why she was so stupid and soft-tempered, allowing the Du family's mother and son to control her and causing so much trouble to her natal family.So at this time, when she heard that her family still wanted to marry the Du family, how could Lu Jiaoyue be calm.

The Du family, that is the devil's lair that she wants to jump out of with all her heart and soul!
And at this time, Lu Jiaoyue also had a little understanding in her heart. It seems that the reason why the family gave her two acres of fertile land as a dowry was not like what was told to her at the beginning, and there were other reasons for it.That is because she is stupid, so she is ignorant of the root cause of this.

It turned out that Widow Du had started plotting against her family at this moment. Fortunately, when she first married into the Du family, she thought she was a good person and was deceived by her for so many years.

There is also the eldest aunt, Lu Jiaoyue did not expect that there was a shadow of the Hu family among them. You must know that after she married into the Du family, Widow Du's good face only lasted for less than half a year, and she slowly began to show her true colors Make things difficult for her.And the eldest aunt came to say good things for her more than once, making Widow Du treat her better.

At this time, she had returned to the original starting point, and with all the vision and experience of her previous life, Lu Jiaoyue suddenly realized that things were not that simple.

She was indeed a fool, and she deserved such a miserable end in her previous life.

Lu Minghai and his wife were entangled with the matter of the Du family. At the same time, in the big house of the Lu family, the Hu family was also discussing the matter with Lu Mingchuan.

Although Hu wanted to hide it from her husband, she also knew that this kind of thing would not be hidden for a long time, and she still needed her husband to do something, so she naturally wanted to tell him about it.

Of course, tell Gui to tell, but how to say that is Hu's business.

Mrs. Hu told her husband about the matter, and sure enough, Lu Mingchuan was also a little angry.

Lu Mingchuan is the eldest son of the Lu family, with a generous and honest personality, calm and down-to-earth.Since he was a child, he knew that he was the eldest son in the family, and he would set up a family in the future, and it was his duty as the elder brother to take care of his younger brothers, so he always regarded the affairs of the two younger brothers' families as his own.

Besides, Lu Mingchuan couldn't help being angry, he had never seen anyone like Du's family, they were relatives, how could they make such excessive demands.Especially after they communicated their intention to get married, and now they only had to clear things up, but this happened all of a sudden.

"Tell me, what does my aunt think, and does she still want to have this kind of kiss?"
