farmer's little girl

Chapter 91 Returning to the door, Jiao Xing's marriage

Early in the morning, before dawn, Mei woke up.

Sensing movement around him, Lu Minghai said without opening his eyes, "You don't have to leave the stall today, what are you doing so early?" As he spoke, he wrapped his thick arms around and pulled Mei into his arms, ready to sleep for a while.

Mrs. Mei pushed him away, and while groping for clothes, she said: "Yue'er came home today. I have been busy for the past two days and the house has not been cleaned up. It is very messy everywhere. I will get up and clean up everywhere. Don't sleep too long. , Maybe my daughter will come back at dawn."

Lu Minghai laughed and said, "No matter what, you have to eat breakfast. Look at your impatience. The son-in-law's house is not far from us, but we haven't seen each other for two days, so you think so?!"

Mei Shi gave him an angry look, and didn't bother to talk to her anymore.

But what the man said was not wrong, she really missed her daughter, but after only two days away, she always felt that something was missing.

The daughter is the little padded jacket of the mother, and it is also a piece of meat in the heart of the mother. She is pampered and cared for on weekdays, and held in her hands like a sweetheart.After more than ten years of raising it, I finally sent it out of the house. It stands to reason that I should feel relieved.But she is always worried that after she leaves the family, she will not be used to living in her in-law's house, or she will be wronged or something.He clearly knew that his son-in-law was not that kind of person, and the family population was simple, but he couldn't get rid of this kind of thinking.

Mrs. Mei struggled to get up, so Lu Minghai had no choice but to get up too.

After getting up, Mrs. Mei was busy everywhere, and by the way, she didn't let Lu Minghai go, instructing him to run around in circles.The outside was made to jingle and clang, and the little ones below couldn't sleep, so they all got up.

This is a good move, after arresting a few Zhuang Ding, Mei simply ordered the whole family to do a big cleaning inside and out.

After finishing the work, Lu Guangzhi was very tired, with a depressed face, he asked Lu Guangyi in a low voice: "Brother, what's the matter with mother today, why are you so excited?"

Lu Guangyi smiled and said, "Did you forget what day it is today?"

Lu Guangzhi slapped his forehead and said, "I actually forgot that today is the day when the eldest sister returns home."

I really can't blame Lu Guangzhi, he has been very busy recently, Qin Xiucai has high hopes for him, and gives him a lot of homework on weekdays.When others write a big character, he has to write ten articles, while others only need to memorize two articles, he has to memorize five articles.But it is also very useful, Lu Guangzhi has made rapid progress, almost surpassing all the students in the private school.It's just that people are so busy that they have to steal time to even have a meal.Especially when Lu Jiaoyue got married, he had to take care of her left and right, so it was natural that he didn't know where he was going.

Mei Shi has already prepared the meal and invited the whole family to eat.After dinner, she drove a few people out of the house to change clothes, and the next thing was to wait for Lu Jiaoyue to come back.

This wait is to wait until Sishi.

Goro, who was sent out to let the wind go, hurried back to report the news when he saw the figures of his elder brother and husband appearing around the corner.

"My sister is back." He shouted at the top of his voice.

Not long after, the second family and the whole family rushed out.

Lu Jiaoyue looked at her parents, brothers and brothers standing at the door, and was a little surprised: "What's wrong, why are you all standing here?"

Only then did Lu Minghai realize that he was making a fuss out of a molehill, and immediately gave Mei a funny look: "It's not your mother."

"What's wrong with my mother?" Lu Jiaoyue looked at her father and then at her mother, only then did she understand the meaning, and hurriedly snuggled up to Mei's side.

"Mother, my daughter is back."

"Just come back." Mrs. Mei patted her daughter's hand, then raised her voice to invite Zhou Jin to come in too.Seeing that her daughter's face was flushed red, she didn't look like she had been wronged, and she finally felt relieved.

"I just said you like to worry about it." Lu Minghai said.

Mei Shi gave him an angry look, but didn't speak.

As for Lu Jiaoyue and Zhou Jin, one acted like a little daughter and acted like a baby around her mother, while the other acted like looking around, pretending to talk to Lu Guangyi, so as not to embarrass the mother-in-law.

They are familiar with each other, so they naturally have something to say when they sit together, unlike other sons-in-law who come to the door, the two sides are not familiar with each other, and they have to think about talking.Zhou Jin and Lu Minghai had a very happy chat, while Mrs. Mei took a moment to drag her daughter into the back room.

"Is it okay for Jinzi to treat you?" Seeing is seeing, Mei Shi has to ask before she is relieved.

Lu Jiaoyue nodded shyly.

Mrs. Mei paused, and asked in a low voice: "You can read the pamphlet Mother gave you. You were too busy on the day of your wedding, so Mother didn't bother to ask you if you understood it."

Immediately, Lu Jiaoyue turned into a blushing face. With her jade neck hanging low, she called softly: "Mother—"

Seeing this, there is still something that Mei doesn't understand.There is a lot of knowledge between husband and wife, not only some superficial things, but also other aspects.

Mrs. Mei smiled, "Okay, if you don't want mother to ask, mother won't ask."

But what should be asked, you have already finished asking, what else is there to ask.Lu Jiaoyue wished she could find a crack in the ground and slip in. Although she lived two lifetimes and was married in both lifetimes, this was the first time her mother talked about such a topic with her.

When she returned home three times in her previous life, she was also accompanied by Du Lian, but she was a first-time wife, and because of troubles in family affairs and intercourse, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and there were more or less things on her face.At that time, her mother only asked how her mother-in-law should treat her and how Du Lian should treat her, so naturally she didn't ask such embarrassing questions.

Thinking about it now, her mother must have sensed something was wrong at that time, otherwise why would she keep asking her about her in-law's affairs, but she thought she had covered it up well and used lies to cover her up.

Mei Shi went to prepare lunch, Lu Jiaoyue wanted to help, but Mei Shi refused.Helpless, Lu Jiaoyue could only go back to the main room to listen to her father, her brother and Zhou Jin talking.

The three of them were talking about the land.

After the autumn harvest, Yaxing handed over the six mu of land, and Lu Minghai was talking to Zhou Jin about plowing the land.

Every year after the autumn harvest, the villagers have to plow the ground deeply before it freezes to prepare for the next spring plowing.Because he was busy with the wedding, the six acres of land had been kept there, and no one ignored it.Now that the wedding is over, and seeing that the sky is starting to get cold, it might be freezing soon, so naturally the matter of plowing the land has to be put on the agenda.

Zhou Jin also planted fields for a few years in the early years, so he naturally understood this, and now he has nothing to do, so he immediately explained to Lu Minghai that he would plow the fields in two days.

Lu Minghai and his son offered to help him. Plowing six acres of land was no small task, and it would take more than a day or two for one person alone.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jin refused.

"I can do it by myself, if it's really not possible, I'll go buy a cow and come back."

The father-in-law's house has two stalls to be busy. In order to arrange the marriage for him and Jiaoyue, many things have been delayed, Zhou Jin is too embarrassed to bother them.Especially when my father-in-law’s family just built a house, I’m afraid their hands are empty, and it’s time to earn money, lest they wait for heavy snow to block the road, and it’s impossible to go out to earn money.

Lu Minghai knew that his son-in-law was thinking of his family, but buying a cow——

He pondered for a while and asked, "Do you plan to plant this land yourself next year?"

Zhou Jin was stunned for a moment, and said: "I can't say for certain about this matter, probably there is no way to grow it. Zhuang Yi is still tossing about continuing to do business. I think that when the time comes, the tenant will go out and collect rent."

"Since the tenant is going out, what do you do to buy cattle? You don't have to waste your money. Let me borrow one from the village, and then I will give you some money for renting cattle." Erfang's family had no cattle, and they had land before At that time, it was also rented in the village.People from the village, people don’t ask for it too much, it’s just a matter of meaning.Originally, when the family separated, it was agreed that all three families could use the cattle, but since the dispute with the first house, the second house never took the cattle again, and rented them from other people's houses if they needed them on weekdays.

"This is okay, then I will ask my father-in-law to help me out."

Soon, lunch will be ready.

Because today's day is different, it is very rich, there are chickens, ducks, meat and fish, just in time for the Chinese New Year.Lu Minghai even took out a jar of wine, intending to have a good drink with Zhou Jin.

The men sat drinking together, so naturally they didn't need a woman to accompany them, so Mei took her daughter to the back room after dinner.

The two sat on the kang and talked, and they talked about Sanfang's family.

"Your third aunt was busy a few days ago trying to say goodbye to Jiao Xing. Yesterday your third aunt came again and said that she had already made love to Jiao Xing."

Lu Jiaoyue was taken aback immediately, "So fast?"

"That's not right!" Mrs. Mei slapped her hands, "I said your third aunt is neat in her work, and it's been a month since I told my daughter that we're going back and forth."

"Which one is it?"

"It's not from our village, it's from a family named Wang in Niujiao Village. I heard that the family also has land and a house, and the family is fairly well off. According to your third aunt, I'm afraid they will come to propose marriage in the near future."

For Lu Jiaoxing, Lu Jiaoyue is not cold, especially since the house is separated from the big house by a wall, it feels that they are far away.She seldom went to Sanfang's house, and Lu Jiaoxing rarely came back to Erfang's.So when Lu Jiaoyue heard about it, she didn't take it to heart, she just took it as gossip.

At the same time, in Sanfang's house, Mrs. Qiao was glaring at Lu Jiaoxing angrily.

"I told you about three families back and forth, and if you don't listen to them, it's not good. Come and tell me about the Wang family, what's wrong with it?"

Seeing that her daughter didn't speak, Qiao said again: "The Wang family has a house and a land. The old couple of the Wang family are kind and friendly. The young man is not bad-looking, and he is only two years older than you. It's a door in anyone's house." It's a good marriage, why don't you like it in your eyes?"

Lu Jiaoxing just lowered her head and remained silent, but her eyes were full of reluctance.

How did it become a good marriage?When she went to the town to meet each other a few days ago, she paid special attention to Wang's second child.People are not ugly, but they are black, and when they smile, they show their big white teeth, like a black-skinned wild boar in the mountains.Her mother said that it was dried in the fields, and it would be free to raise it for a winter. Lu Jiaoxing lived in the countryside since she was a child, so she naturally understands this.None of the farmer men who worked in the fields all year round were white, and after an autumn harvest, they would be so black that they would ooze oil.

It stands to reason that she is not a lady of every family, but a country girl, and a country boy is just right for a country girl, but Lu Jiaoxing just doesn't want it in her heart.Especially with the background of Du Lian's elegant and modest gentleman, Lu Jiaoxing was even more reluctant.

She has never given up on Du Lian, even though her mother kept telling her that Widow Du is not easy to provoke, but Lu Jiaoxing thinks that Widow Du has nothing to do with Du Lian, since Du Lian is such an old man, he Mother can't control him.If the little aunt hadn't been ahead of her, if she had married Du Lian, her life would definitely not have been like that of the little aunt.

Lu Jiaoxing knew that Lu Guili was not doing well in Du's house. Lu Guili was already in poor health and had to work in Du's house.But Lu Jiaoxing always felt that the daughter-in-law of any family didn't have to work, and it didn't make sense that her little aunt could be an exception.

Even though Widow Du came to the big house to make trouble before, her mother often told her that the Du family was so bad and that Du Lian was not a good person, but Lu Jiaoxing still felt that Du Lian was different. , there is such a mother, can he choose?Maybe he didn't want it in his heart, but he couldn't get rid of it.

Just like her.

Thinking of this, Lu Jiaoxing peeked at Qiao Shi from the corner of her eyes, her eyes were full of disgust.

Qiao Shi talked for a long time, but seeing that Lu Jiaoxing didn't say a word, she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"Tell me about you, tell me about who you learned your temper from? Let me tell you, it's okay if you don't agree this time. Mother won't spoil you. This matter is settled like this! You will come to my house to propose marriage in a few days, and during this time you just stay in the house honestly, if you make any troubles to me, I will break your legs!" Qiao Shi has always been anxious It was extremely rare to be able to hold back my temper and talk to Lu Jiaoxing for such a long time.After speaking, she slammed the door and went out.

Lu Jiaoxing sat on the edge of the kang, she was so wronged that tears rolled down her face.

Why, why did she have to have such a mother, Lu Jiaoyue was always responsive at home, and she would be like this!She is not reconciled!Not reconciled!

Thinking of this, Lu Jiaoxing wiped away tears bitterly.

Lu Jiaoe groped in from the outside, leaned close to Lu Jiaoxing, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, are you alright?"

Lu Jiaoxing shook her head.

Lu Jiao'e bit her lip and persuaded: "Sister, don't be stubborn with your mother, I think the second son of the Wang family is not bad, but you are not as stubborn as your mother, if you make her angry, she will beat you again. There is a father, since that incident, my father doesn't help you anymore, before my mother beat us, my father would occasionally stop me, this time my father is also angry."

Don't be angry, after Lu Mingshan came back, he knew that the big house was in charge of the important land of the second brother's house, and it was the moth caused by the eldest daughter, so he slapped Lu Jiaoxing on the spot.In the past, Lu Mingshan beat his daughter with restraint, but this time his hands were not soft.After receiving that slap, Lu Jiaoxing's face was swollen for many days before it subsided.

The reason for Qiao's anger was the same. Firstly, Lu Mingshan felt sorry for his second brother's family, and secondly, he felt sad for the death of a rabbit.No one knows his father's temperament better than him, and now he can live a life, maybe one day Da Fang's life will be difficult, and this trick is used on him again.

He is Lao Tzu, he is a son, can he refuse at that time?

"Father, he has never spoken for us. In his eyes, there is only a son other than money. There is no such thing as us. If you don't help, don't help. When I get married in the future, I will treat myself as if I don't have this father. There is no such mother." Lu Jiaoxing sneered.

Lu Jiao'e was a little anxious, her eyes were red and she said: "Sister, how can you think so. Parents are parents after all, even though father and mother don't care about us, mother always makes us work, but you Let's see which girls in the village don't work? Who told us to be girls! Look at Xiaocao and Ernier. They not only help the family with work, they can't even eat enough! Our family has never Without our food, if dad sometimes buys something delicious, he will not miss us."

Xiaocao and Ernier are Lu Jiaoe's playmates, they are probably divided into groups, and Lu Jiaoe only has these two playmates.Like many girls who are not valued at home, Xiaocao and Ernier's grandparents and even their parents don't pay attention to girl movies.A girl is born to work for the family, and when she gets married at an old age, she can get a dowry. This is an old idea that her ancestors have been accustomed to for generations.

But this kind of thinking is a joke in Lu Jiaoxing's heart, she knows that her sister is stupid, so she doesn't bother to break it with her.I just asked, "Where's mother?"

Lu Jiao'e didn't expect that she was still talking about this before, but her sister changed the subject later.But she was used to being honest, so she said, "Mother seems to have gone to the second uncle's house."

Lu Jiaoxing nodded, and hurriedly went to the east room to look at Qiao's mirror on the dressing table, and tidied her hair and clothes.Because she cried just now, her face was a little dry, and she secretly wiped off Qiao's face.

After Mrs. Qiao left, there were only two sisters in the family, so Lu Jiao'e also followed.Seeing that the elder sister looked like she was about to go out, she couldn't help but said anxiously: "Elder sister, do you still want to find my sister-in-law?"

Lu Jiaoxing didn't have any playmates in the village, and she didn't go out much on weekdays. With her behavior like this, Lu Jiaoer couldn't think of anything else except that she was going to find her sister-in-law.

Lu Jiaoxing turned her head and looked at her younger sister, "No one can tell about this, have you heard?"

"But sister, the Du family is not a good family..." Under Lu Jiaoxing's eyes, Lu Jiao'e's voice gradually quieted down, "And, my sister-in-law is already married to my sister-in-law, you..." At this point , Her eye circles turned red, and it could be seen that she was anxious.

Lu Jiaoxing didn't expect her younger sister to say that, and You Qi said something about her little uncle, so she immediately came up and slapped her on the back twice in anger.

"You don't care about my sister's affairs. Anyway, just remember that no one is allowed to say anything. If you let me know that you can't control your mouth, I will deal with you carefully."

Lu Jiao'e nodded twitching.

When Lu Jiaoxing arrived at Du's house, Lu Guili was sweeping the yard.

She was already thin, holding a huge broom in her hand, which made her appear to have only a thin strip left.

Seeing Lu Jiao Xing coming, she showed a smile, "Xing'er, you are here."

Now Lu Guili can also do some work, but she can't do heavy work, but she can still cook and wash clothes.But to be able to be like this now, she has also suffered a lot. Since she was a child, she was not in the sun at home. When she first married, Lu Guili could hardly do anything.He was still squeezed, scolded, and scolded by Widow Du, and he was gradually tempered.

A layer of calluses slowly arose from the originally delicate and smooth hands, and now she finally has the appearance of a wife.A head of slightly yellowed hair is pulled back, and the already thin face is even thinner. The skin is dry and yellow. It looks like those in the village who are overwhelmed by tedious housework and heavy work. Ladies, it's no different.

Lu Jiaoxing nodded, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine at home, so I came here to see you."

She was wearing a water-red knee-length jacket and a pair of trousers of the same color.This dress was made for her by her mother when she was going on a blind date a few days ago, and she wore it on purpose today.Against this gloomy weather, it looks extraordinarily bright, full of the youthful atmosphere of a girl.Compared with Lu Guili's sallow face and gloomy body, it's like heaven and earth.

Lu Guili glanced at her niece enviously.

"Aunt Du is not here?" Lu Jiaoxing looked into the room curiously.

Lu Guili shook her head, "My mother-in-law went back to her mother's house to visit relatives."

"Where's little uncle?"

"Your little uncle is reading in the room." When Du Lian was mentioned, Lu Guili's face improved a little.

Lu Jiaoxing rolled her eyes and said, "Then sister, let's go into the room and talk."

Lu Guili glanced into the room hesitantly, and whispered: "My sister-in-law is here, and my mother-in-law asked her to watch me work."

"Isn't it just sweeping the yard? Auntie, I'll help you. After we're done, let's go in and talk. I haven't seen any serious relatives coming. The host doesn't accompany them, and they leave people alone." The last sentence Lu Jiaoxing said it with a raised voice, obviously wanting to tell Du Juaner.

Du Juan in the room took a sip before walking out with a smile on his face.

"Xing'er, you're here to look for your little aunt again, stay home for lunch."

Lu Jiaoxing had an obedient look on her face: "Thank you, Aunt Juan, I'll help my sister-in-law do the work first." In her heart, she scolded Du Juan for being good at pretending, she is about the same age as her next year, but she likes to act like an elder look.Of course, she blamed Lu Guili again. If she hadn't been shameless and insisted on marrying Du Lian regardless of her status, she wouldn't have been a generation shorter for nothing.

Du Juan nodded and went into the house again, not caring what made the guest's work bad.

Lu Jiaoxing naturally scolded her in her heart for not having a tutor, and when she had a chance in the future, she had to take care of this stinky girl who was overbearing.

After pressing the button, Lu Jiaoxing and Lu Guili hid in the room to talk.

Lu Guili took Lu Jiaoxing's hand and sighed: "Xing'er, it's fortunate that you are here, otherwise my sister-in-law would have asked me to wash clothes." Lu Guili was relieved to be able to stop working for a while.

"Why do you listen to her, you are the elder sister-in-law, she has to respect you." This was what Lu Jiaoxing was thinking.

Lu Guili was stunned for a moment, and said, "I didn't listen to her, but my mother-in-law ordered me to do so."

When it came to Widow Du, Lu Jiaoxing naturally stopped talking.

"Little uncle is reading at home every day?" Lu Jiaoxing glanced at the closed door of the Westinghouse and asked.

Lu Guili nodded, her face full of grievances for Du Lian, "I don't know who is so bad that the soles of his feet are bleeding, and he cheated your little uncle like this. You can't go to Baihe Academy. Your little uncle has high eyesight and doesn't like other academies." , and now I can only study hard at home."

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, "When my mother-in-law left in the morning, she told me to kill a chicken and make soup to replenish my husband's body, but I actually forgot about it." As she said that, she hurried out of the house go.

Helpless, Lu Jiaoxing could only follow out again.

Looking at the chickens in the chicken coop, Lu Guili fell into a daze, and looked at Lu Jiaoxing crying.

"Myolie, what should I do if I don't know how to kill chickens, can you help me?"

Lu Jiaoxing was extremely disgusted in her heart, but she agreed with a smile on her face.

Kill the chicken, take off its feathers, wash it and put it in the pot.Lu Jiaoxing simply took over the stewed chicken, and Lu Guili stood aside as the shopkeeper.

She said it was thanks to you, but Lu Jiaoxing smiled and said it was nothing.

At noon, Lu Jiaoxing helped Lu Guili cook again.

Widow Du didn't come back at noon, so there were only Du Juan'er, Lu Guili and Du Lian at home.After the food was ready, Du Juan was not polite, so he sat down and ate.

"Sister-in-law, remember to bring soup to my brother, or mother will scold you again when she comes back." Du Juan'er instructed without any ambiguity.

"Hey, I know." Lu Guili nodded, and then called Lu Jiaoxing to sit down, "You and Juan'er eat first, and I'll bring food to your little uncle."

Lu Jiaoxing didn't sit down, but pushed Lu Guili down, and took the tray from her hand.

"Sister-in-law, you've been busy all morning. I'm afraid you're already tired, so just sit and have a rest. I'll send it to my uncle."

Lu Guili didn't refuse either, let alone, she was really tired.With endless work, she feels exhausted every day. If Xing'er was not here today, she probably wouldn't even want to eat.

Lu Jiaoxing picked up the tray, stroked her hair on the sideburns with one hand, and walked towards the west room.

Du Juan, who was eating, glanced at her and smiled dismissively, but said nothing.
