Chapter 701
When Lu Lu returned to Caodianzi, Aunt Duan and Wang Yan were eating with Chen Xiuyu. As for Ma Jinlan, she went home to guard her. She had some financial resources, so she was very worried.
Hearing the barking of dogs outside, the three came out of the house one after another.
Seeing Lu Lu riding towards the fence gate, Wang Yan ran faster than ever.
There was still a fence, and the door hadn't been opened yet, so she quickly asked, "Brother Lu, did you find anyone?"
"Found it!" Lu Lu nodded.
"Then why didn't he come back with you, or...he has already gone home? Is...is he okay? "
Wang Yan pressed again, asking several questions in a row, full of worry and concern.
Lu Lu got off his horse and looked up at Wang Yan: "He's still alive!"
Chen Xiuyu, who followed closely behind, opened the gate of the fence. Lu Lu led Zhuifeng into the meadow, and went all the way into the yard. He unloaded the saddle and the tent he was carrying, and then threw the things he got from Qi Wenkai into the barn. , went straight back to the house.
It’s hard to take out these things in front of people.
still alive?
When Wang Yan heard this, she was stunned. She was savoring this sentence, and the more she tasted it, the more inappropriate it became.
So, after Lu Lu entered the house, she hurriedly followed in, followed behind Lu Lu, watched Chen Xiuyu pour water to wash Lu Lu's face and feet, then followed Lu Lu to the big kang, watched him take off his shoes and get on the kang, First, he teased his own children, took the wine bowl and chopsticks from Chen Xiuyu, and ate without saying a word.
Seeing the three of them standing beside the kang and looking at him eagerly, Lu Lu hurriedly greeted: "Godmother, go to the kang to eat quickly, what are you doing in a daze? Is there anything bigger than being full?"
"Brother Lu, how is my brother?" Chen Xiuyu couldn't help asking.
Aunt Duan glanced at the two of them: "Godson, they are all worried, so you should tell them, is something wrong?"
Lu Lu put down his chopsticks, took a sip of wine, and then looked at Wang Yan: "Yanzi, I don't think I can treat you very well, but at least it makes sense, right? After all, it's because of relatives, and Xiuyu is the only one like that." Brother, I have always regarded you as my own family...
But why do I feel that there is not even the most basic trust between our two families?As long as you tell Xiuyu or me about something that you are not sure about, the matter may not develop to the point where it is today.
After all, he is a married man. He is not too old, but he is not so ignorant. He is the one I met when he saw his mother being attacked by a wild boar, so he came back from the mountains to find someone to rescue him. ?
At that time, I thought both xinxing and perseverance were pretty good, and there were no shortcomings except being easily shy.Why, now that she is married to Qingzi, she has closed the door and become a family, and her little calculations are starting to crackle, so she can't let us know.
That’s right, the married girl throws away the water and Xiuyu becomes an outsider, let alone me. "
"No...Brother Lu, I really don't think so..."
Wang Yan's expression suddenly became panicked.
"I don't want to hear your explanation. Qingzi went into the mountain alone. My mother-in-law didn't know about it. She didn't ask or say anything. I can figure it out. After all, she was quite talkative before. You are the only one who knows exactly what he is doing. Among other things, just going to that kind of virgin forest is a very dangerous thing.
At the very least, you should know that he can't break through that alone, he doesn't have that ability yet.
But you just kept it a secret for seven days, and during these seven days, in my meadow, we can be regarded as seeing each other without looking up, but you just didn't reveal a word.
If it wasn't that I had something to do with him, if it wasn't that I thought he was a little abnormal and asked, what my mother-in-law said wouldn't be right for you. When are you going to keep it a secret?
Or, you also think that it is a matter of making a fortune, and you should do it.But don't even think about it, why don't the rest of us go?Is it because we don't know that kind of thing is easy to get rich, or are we stupid? "
Lu Lu shook his head, picked up the wine bowl and took another sip of wine.
Wang Yan frowned and didn't speak, but the tears kept falling down.
"Brother Lu, Swallow is still young..." Chen Xiuyu looked at Wang Yan, wanting to persuade Lu Lu.
For the first time in such a long time, she felt the hidden anger in Lu Lu's words.
"Young? She's going to be a mother in a blink of an eye, and she's still young! I don't think she's ignorant, but she's too sensible!" Lu Lu couldn't help but burst out: "Do you know, he almost died! "
The sudden loud sound startled the child who was lying on the kang playing Galaha, and burst into tears.
Galaha is a toy for little girls in the Great Wilderness. It is the kneecap of a sheep. Only the hind legs have four sides. Four of them form a pair, which can improve people's agility.
Lamb crutches are the top grade. This kind of bone is not only found in sheep, but also in pigs, cattle and roe deer.
The one that Lu Zhengyang was playing with was taken from a roe deer by Lu Lu, and it was in good condition.
Boil and eat roe deer meat, find it out when deboning, clean it and use it as a child's toy.The child is still young and doesn't know how to play. He just puts it on the kang and pulls it carelessly.
Seeing that the child was frightened and crying, Lu Lu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly picked up the child to tease him, trying to coax him into obedience: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Dad's voice is loud, and I won't do it in the future..."
On the other hand, Wang Yan who was at the side was trembling with fright when she heard this, her face turned pale all of a sudden, her body swayed, and she was supported by Chen Xiuyu.
"The horse he was riding was shot to death. He was shot in his left calf. His bones were broken and his tendons were injured. We have sent him to the hospital to revive him. The doctor said that his He will have to walk on crutches in the future. He has not come back yet, and he is living in the hospital over there, guarded by Brother Feng, Brother Zhao and Liang Pao, and will be picked up when the doctor tells him to take him back for recuperation."
The child in his arms was teased by Lu Lu, and gradually became quiet again.
Lu Lu looked up at Wang Yan: "That's fine, he can stay at home in peace and don't have to go to the mountains with us. It's a great luck for him to get his life back once, but unfortunately, I persuaded him So many times, I still don't know how to cherish, and I can only help this.
I speak frankly, if you can't figure it out, whether you resent or hate me, it's up to you.
Xiuyu, tell your mother the same thing tomorrow. "
Wang Yan frowned and shed tears. After a while, she turned her head and ran outside.
Seeing this, Chen Xiuyu and Aunt Duan also ran out.
Chen Xiuyu didn't come back until it was getting dark, and saw Lu Lu sitting on the kang, waiting without moving his chopsticks.
"Swallow has already returned home. I also told my mother about the matter. I advised them not to quarrel at home. I also told them not to spread it... I asked on the way, and Swallow told you the same thing. It's because he has a small plan, but he overestimated my brother's ability, and both of them think things too simply."
Chen Xiuyu sat down on the edge of the Kang and whispered.
"Let them figure it out for themselves!"
What Lu Lu cares more about is the attitude of Chen Xiuyu, the person who has lived with him all his life: "Daughter-in-law, am I going too far? Will you hate me on this matter?"
Chen Xiuyu smiled slightly: "How could I hate you? You have been preaching a lot, even in private, and I have told him a lot, but my brother is so stupid... Sigh...
Maybe it's a good thing for my brother too.As you said, it is already a great luck to save your life once, not to mention, this is the second time for him..."
Lu Lu nodded: "Don't blame me! Where's the godmother?"
"The godmother is at my brother's house, and she's staying with them there. She said she's going home to stay at night, and she'll come back tomorrow morning."
"It made her unable to eat well."
"Actually, I'm almost done eating. It's okay! I'll heat up the dishes and add two more side dishes. I'll drink with you later!"
"it is good!"
Chen Xiuyu quickly packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen, while Lu Lu took the opportunity to go to the warehouse, took the gold and stacks of banknotes that had been put in the warehouse back to the bedroom, and put them in the box on the floor.
Those gold nuggets refined by Qi Wenkai also used special molds to make individual gold bars, at least thirteen or four catties.
Money can be deposited in the bank, but the gold cannot be kept in the box on the floor.
Now that I have given up the thought of going gold mining, I should hide the gold and save it for future use.
The point is that most of them are dog head gold, and now they are sold as ordinary placer gold, which is not worth it at all. As the target of a gold mine, it is too easy to cause a sensation and attract attention.
As for the future, there will be more sales channels, but Lu Lu is not worried at all.
After putting away the things, Lu Lu stood at the door and looked at it for a long time. He thought it was the soft jujube tree in his yard that was transplanted last year and had grown for a year. Now the canes have climbed up to the shelf and the fruit is hanging on it. A very good place is under the wild kiwi tree. Just dig a deep hole and bury it.
People come and go, and when they come to the house on a hot day, they all like to enjoy the shade under the tree. The most conspicuous place is also the safest place.
After Chen Xiuyu finished cooking the side dishes, she poured herself some soft blueberry fruit wine, went to the kang and chatted and drank with Lu Lu, her words were more about comforting Lu Lu.
Lu Lu was very pleased to have such a daughter-in-law who was devoted to him.
By the way, he also told Chen Xiuyu about the burial of the gold. That night, Chen Xiuyu lit a flashlight, and Lu Lu dug a deep pit of more than one meter at the foot of the tree root, found a jar for the gold, and placed it in the The bottom of the pit was buried, and by the way, the soil at the roots and feet of the tree was loosened, and some decomposed farmyard manure was applied to cover up the traces.
The next morning, Wang Yan and Ma Jinlan did not come to Caodianzi to help take care of the roe deer farm. Lu Lu was not surprised at all. He guessed that the two of them should be closing the door at home and wiping their tears.
In this regard, the two are very similar.
However, the biggest effect of wiping tears is at most to make yourself less sad, nothing else can change anything.
Whether they can think clearly can only be seen by themselves.
Aunt Duan came quite early, and Wang Yan and Ma Jinlan didn't come, so Lu Lu went to the battle in person, driving the cart with Aunt Duan to the field to pull carrots and collect other grass leaves, which were used to prepare the feed for the roe deer.
Now at home, I can already smell musk from time to time. Lu Lu knows that in mid-September, it is the time of year to collect musk again.
The two chatted and drove the shelf car to the field. Along the way, Auntie Duan and Lu Lu talked about the situation of Wang Yan and Ma Jinlan after Chen Xiuyu came back last night, and she kept easing Lu Lu's heart.
"Godmother, hasn't Haozi received any letter from the capital during this period of time?"
Thinking of what he was going to do next, Liu Hao, the only acquaintance in the capital at this time, might be able to help, so Lu Lu also took the opportunity to ask.
"Letters, there are two or three letters a month. You have been busy all the time, so I didn't bother you much. I am looking for Xiuyu. Isn't Xiuyu always learning to read? I often ask her to read to me, and let her read to me. She helped to answer the letter, which made her very busy. When reading a letter, she had to keep looking up the dictionary, and she was in a hurry.
Some characters are illegible and can't be recognized, so guesswork is required. Later, Xiuyu simply asked Haozi's daughter-in-law to write better in the reply letter, but now the reply letter is all in square characters horizontally and vertically. "
Speaking of this, Mrs. Duan couldn't help laughing.
"Is there any happy event?" Lu Lu asked with a smile.
"Yes, they have a child. It's a daughter. They sent me a photo. She's three months old. She's chubby and rare." Auntie Duan was all smiles.
"Do you want to go to the capital to see Haozi?"
"I want to...but I'm afraid to bother him."
"It's not troublesome. I'm planning to go to the capital when October is approaching. Come with me and meet Haozi by the way."
"Why do you think of going to the capital?"
"I heard that there is a big military parade, I want to see it, and I also want to take Xiuyu to see what the capital looks like."
"Is that so... can I really go?"
"Of course! In the afternoon, I'll write a letter to Haozi to let him know. We can meet up then, and I have something to do. I want to ask him for help... Let's go together then! What do you want to say to him? "
"I just want to ask them if they are in good health, if their granddaughter is good, if there is anything they want to eat, I will bring it to him, and tell him that I am fine, let him keep the money for himself, and there is nothing missing at home... ..."
For a moment, Mrs. Duan was extremely excited, and her eyes were full of anticipation.
And the content of the reply letter is always to let the son and daughter-in-law take care of themselves, she is good at everything, even the newly raised chickens grow up to be big.
Nagging, but very warm.
It is precisely because of this that when Lu Lu finished working on the roe deer farm, he spent more than an hour writing the longest letter in his memory. Of course, he also expressed his idea of buying a house in the letter. Please help Liu Hao to ask if there are any good courtyard houses for sale around Shichahai.
At any rate, he spent a lot of time there, and he believes that this matter is not difficult for Liu Hao now, and it will save him a lot of time to ask and find when he arrives in the capital.
In the afternoon of that day, Lu Lu went to the city by chasing the wind, sent a letter to the telephone and telegraph building, and then deposited another [-] in the bank.
Thanks to the book friends who have traveled all over the world and lazy people for their rewards!
