Chapter 166 Engagement
After Shen Meng left, Zhu Juying was completely confused. She sat alone in the main room for a long time. Lu Xiangxiang called her but didn't answer. When Lu Xiangxiang came back after delivering broth to the third room of the main house, Uncle Guai was looking at her. Bring the cooked rice into the house.
"Old lady, what are you so confused about? I saw you sitting there without moving for a long time. What did you do to you?"
"Mom, tell me if you feel uncomfortable somewhere, and I'll call Doctor Lu."
Lu Xiangxiang saw her mother running out in a panic, but Zhu Juying pulled her away.
"Xiangxiang, my good daughter, you must respect Xiaobin's parents well from now on. You must know that his family is so good to you. You also need Xiaobin's two sisters-in-law. They care for the whole family. Hehe, treat you well, and you must also treat others well, but you can't be as inhumane as your second sister-in-law."
"Mom, I know, and Sister-in-law Meng, I will get along well with them, but you said you go to work, why go to work?"
Uncle Guai just thought that Lu Xiangxiang was about to get engaged to the Shen family. The old woman was excited. As long as she was okay, he didn't care much about what happened next. He pulled the rice bowl towards his position and was about to eat with chopsticks. .
"Your sister-in-law Meng gave Xiaobin a job as a textile factory worker. He will go to work after the new year. From now on, he will be the one holding the iron rice bowl."
"What?"
The chopsticks in Uncle Guai's hand fell down with a bang and he looked at Zhu Juying in disbelief. Lu Xiangxiang also opened her eyes wide. She didn't know about this and didn't believe it at all.
In the evening, Lu Zhenping boiled two pots of water and washed several children cleanly. Each child looked at Shen Meng with tears in his eyes, feeling extremely wronged. Lu Mingkai even got directly into Shen Meng's arms, sticking his buttocks out. I didn’t even want to look at Lu Zhenping anymore.
"Make some milk for them and go to bed early!"
Lu Zhenping's eyes flashed, and it was exactly what he wanted. He prepared milk for the children very diligently, and coaxed Lu Mingkai to sleep somewhere in Mingyang, while he quickly went to wash up.
Shen Meng's face was slightly hot. When eating in the evening, he already knew that something was going to happen. He just entered the space while going to the latrine and washed himself white and tender. The child Mingming thought he was thin. .
The night was very long, Lu Zhenping was in good physical condition, and Shen Meng was very tired.
Two days later, Shen Fugui, Wang Guizhi and his family drove two oxcarts to Lujiacun. Director Guo was wearing a brand-new cotton-padded jacket and a red scarf today. He was standing at Uncle Guai's door early in the morning, waiting for someone to come. He saw them coming. There was a burst of joy on the faces of two bullock carts. Xiangxiang was a good girl. The people in the village who had good friends with Uncle Guai and Zhu Juying were all looking forward to her having a good home. After the incident with the leper in front of them happened, they were very angry. For fear of delaying the child Xiangxiang, Shen Meng secretly targeted Xiangxiang and abducted her to her own home.
"It's coming, it's coming, strange brother, hurry up and let Xing'an Xingwang shoot off the firecrackers, someone from the Shen family is here."
"Okay, Xing'an, hurry up, Xiaobin is here, hurry up and set off the firecrackers, Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang, what are you doing? Come out quickly, they will be at the door soon, what are you doing in the house?"
Uncle Guai hurriedly walked towards the door, looking at Director Guo with a bit of embarrassment.
"Her aunt, thank you for your hard work."
"What's the point? I just hope that Xiangxiang will have a good husband. Xiaomeng came to me to be a matchmaker. I'm so happy that I got a big carp for nothing!"
Zhu Juying and Lu Xiangxiang also walked out quickly. She was still mumbling when she came over.
"It's a big happy event today. Xiangxiang doesn't need to dress up properly. You old man, you have to be more careful when talking to your in-laws later and stop smoking your old cigarettes. Do you listen?"
"I know, I know."
Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping also came with their children. She looked at Lu Xiangxiang, who was wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket and her face was rosy. She became more and more satisfied with this sister-in-law. "Hey, Xiaomeng is here to see your sister-in-law. Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied. It won't be long before Xiangxiang will call me sister. By then we will be a serious family."
The little girl's face turned even redder, as red as a peach, as the two people sang in harmony and said this. She was so embarrassed.
When the oxcart arrived at the door, Shen Xiaobin jumped out first, took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, and passed one to another after Lu Xingan introduced him. The cigarettes he took were eight cents a box, although they were cheap. But generally in the countryside, few people spend money to buy it. They just tear up some newspapers and roll some tobacco leaves, or buy a pipe yourself, and you can smoke it for a long time.
No one disliked the cigarettes. Those who received the cigarettes felt very proud and were very happy.
Lu Qinlan and Su Xiaomei each carried a bag of bulk hard candies and scattered them toward everyone. Each person could get as many as they wanted. After a while of greetings at the door, everyone entered the house.
Shen Meng watched it with great interest. It was the first time she saw the famous scene of country people getting engaged, and she felt curious everywhere.
Shen Shoutian and Shen Yutian took everything they brought into the house, including two fish, one for the Lu family and one for the matchmaker, five kilograms of fat pork, fifty kilograms of wheat and one hundred kilograms of corn, two large front doors , tobacco, wine, candies, peach cakes, six feet of cloth, a pair of cotton shoes and two red and green silk scarves, and finally a small box, which filled the table.
Zhu Juying and Uncle Guai's eyes turned red when they saw it. It was not that they were happy looking at the things, but that the Shen family valued the fragrance of their home.
The two elder brothers, Lu Xing'an and Lu Xingwang, felt very happy.
"Sister, seeing you again, I really feel close to you. We have finally become in-laws."
"No, I also hope that my sister-in-law can come soon. The marriage of these two children can be settled, which will solve a worry for me and her father."
"Who says it isn't?"
Zhu Juying and Wang Guizhi held hands and chatted animatedly. Over there, Shen Fugui and Uncle Guai were sitting on small stools smoking. From time to time, they looked at each other and laughed awkwardly, saying,
"Drink water, drink water."
"Not busy, not busy."
Shen Xiaobin and Lu Xiangxiang stood beside their parents, occasionally looking at each other and then turning away with red faces.
Shen Meng watched with great enjoyment. Lu Zhenping gave her a tug, and she put away the rather lewd smile on her face.
"Juying, our Shen family really likes this child Xiangxiang and sincerely wants to marry her. Don't worry, I dare not say that I will treat her as my own daughter, but how should I treat Xiaomeng, Qinlan and Xiaomei, I will treat Xiangxiang the same way, and I will definitely not let her be wronged."
"I believe it, I believe it. Xiaomeng has always taken good care of our family and Xiangxiang. Xiangxiang's father and I also like Xiaobin from the bottom of our hearts. We hope that the two children will get married soon!"
Wang Guizhi took the small box from the table and handed it to Lu Xiangxiang in front of everyone.
"Good boy, here are the watches I bought for you, a Butterfly brand watch, and a Forever brand bicycle. When you get married, Xiaobin's father and I will also prepare them for you. Others have them, so I will never feel wronged. You will only have more than others, not less."
