Mother Lu was choked to death. Seeing that Lu Zhi didn't listen to her, she was so angry that she threw her hand away and said angrily: "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in the future. If nothing else, take a look at them."
How many brothers are there in the family?"
Mother Lu said: "A total of six! There is also an unmarried brother at the bottom. When the family is separated, how much can you share? The whole family is noisy, and you will suffer it every day."
"Mom, don't worry. Grandpa said that the Zhou family has a good family tradition and doesn't make any noise."
"That's why you can't get married anymore," Mother Lu said, "your mother-in-law has been sick for so many years and she can suppress her daughters-in-law and dare not move. When you get married, how can you live a good life?"
Lu Zhi couldn't help but be confused. How could one thing change its meaning in the mouths of his grandfather and mother?
Lu Zhi rubbed his forehead and said, "Mom, my grandfather decided to arrange this marriage. If you don't agree, just go and talk to your grandfather."
Mother Lu was so angry that she slapped her and said: "If I could tell your grandfather, do I need to torture you here? Anyway, remember, when your grandfather asks you, you will say that you don't agree and you don't like it.
Zhou family, do you understand?"
"When I first came back, my grandfather had already asked me, and I said it all depends on my grandfather's wishes."
"Then when the Zhou family comes to visit you, just say you don't like it. Anyway, the marriage hasn't been decided yet, so there's nothing wrong with going back on it."
Lu Zhi pursed her lips, and Mother Lu patted her arm and asked, "I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"
Lu Zhi couldn't help but rub her arms and said dullly: "I heard it."
The next day, Lao Zhoutou and Mr. Qian came to the door with a basket of eggs and some pastries, and of course they took Wu Lang with them.
Man Bao still had one day off, so he was very curious and came to join in the fun.
Matchmaker Wang had been waiting at the entrance of Dali Village for a long time. As soon as she saw them, she started to smile and said, "I guess you will be arriving soon. Let's go. Let's go. When I passed by the old doctor's house just now, I saw their house."
My wife is sprinkling water and sweeping the front door, obviously waiting for you to come."
She likes to be a matchmaker for this kind of marriage that has already been agreed upon. She only needs to spend a few words to get two pieces of money to thank the matchmaker, and there is no need for her to run around.
Speaking of which, Wu Lang of Lao Zhou's family and the young lady of Lao Dafu's family are both in trouble. The families she introduced to them before were not only in their twenties, but also fifteen.
In the end, both of them failed. Why didn't she think of bringing them together to see it in the first place?
Oh, by the way, the head of the Lu family is looking for people in the town and the city.
Matchmaker Wang curled her lips secretly and happily brought people from the Zhou family to the door.
The old doctor took the medicine prescribed by Manbao yesterday and feels much better. At least the runny nose is not running, the throat is not so sore, and the head is not dizzy.
So I woke up in the morning with a smile. Seeing that my granddaughter was still wearing half-worn clothes, I smiled and said: "Zhi Niang, didn't you make a new set of clothes this year? Go and put on the new clothes."
Lu Zhi glanced at her mother and agreed with a smile.
In fact, when she woke up in the morning, she was wearing new clothes, but her mother asked her to change them. If she went to change them now, she didn't have to rummage through the cabinets to find them, she could just take them out and put them on.
Mother Lu:......
She did not dare to resist her father-in-law.
Just after Lu Zhi had changed her clothes, there was a knock on the door. Knowing that the Zhou family might come to propose marriage today, everyone in the Lu family was there.
As soon as the door opened, Father Lu saw old Zhoutou and his wife.
He only glanced at them, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Wu Lang. Seeing that he looked upright, held his head high and was neither timid nor arrogant, he smiled a little more.
After the two families exchanged greetings, Mrs. Qian gave away the gifts she had brought, and Matchmaker Wang began to talk about the children of the two families.
Mother Lu took a look at what they brought, and although her face became a little pale, she still glanced at her daughter, hoping that she would refuse.
But Lu Zhi kept standing behind the old doctor with her head lowered. When the old doctor turned to ask her, she whispered: "I listen to my grandfather."
The old doctor nodded cheerfully, "Okay, okay, since both children have no objections, how about making a decision for them today?"
Lao Zhoutou had no objection at all and nodded with a smile on his face.
Mother Lu became anxious and almost couldn't help but stand up, but as soon as she moved, the old doctor looked at her with a smile and said: "Boss, wife, go to the kitchen and see what food is available. You will leave the in-laws and Matchmaker Wang here at noon.
People eat here.”
Meeting her father-in-law's gaze, Mother Lu's heart froze. She lowered her head and responded, then got up and went to the kitchen. Sister Lu quickly followed.
By the time Mother Lu could come out of the kitchen, the two families had already exchanged wedding invitations and made an engagement.
Lao Zhoutou was very anxious, but he also knew that mentioning the wedding date after the engagement was very rude, so he could only suppress his mood and planned to wait for a while before letting the matchmaker come to his door.
It is true that Zhou Lang is getting older and it is no longer good to wait any longer. If he cannot bring his wife home before the Chinese New Year, then it is not good to marry him during the busy spring period.
But now their family grows spring wheat year after year, which means they have little time until the autumn harvest.
Their family doesn't mind marrying a daughter-in-law when the farming is busy, but the girl's family will definitely mind marrying a daughter-in-law when the farming is busy.
So it is best to get married before the Chinese New Year, otherwise Zhou Lang will really have to wait another year.
Mother Lu was still busy in the kitchen. As soon as the dishes were brought out, she saw two big red envelopes on the table. Those things looked so familiar.
She almost threw the dish in her hand.
She didn't look better until Lao Zhou's family left.
As soon as they left, she went back to the house with a sad face, and then started crying in the house.
She didn't hide her grievances at all, so although she didn't deliberately amplify her voice, she didn't suppress her crying. For a moment, the originally happy courtyard fell silent.
The whole house could only hear her crying.
The old doctor put away the smile on his face and remained silent.
Lu Gui and Lu Zhi stood with their heads lowered. Mrs. Lu did not dare to move for a while. Mrs. Lu's three-year-old son looked around and finally got into his great-grandfather's arms.
The old doctor patted his back and smiled again, "Come, go out and play with your mother and sister-in-law."
The old doctor took out a few pennies from his pocket and put it in his little hand, and said with a smile: "Go buy some candies."
The child immediately became happy and shouted, "Go buy some candy, go buy some candy, mother, sister-in-law, go buy some candy."
Sister-in-law Lu hugged her son and left with Lu Zhi.
The old doctor would not teach his daughter-in-law. He was just a father-in-law and he also cared about human ethics, so he just kept his son.
It is impossible for him to teach his daughter-in-law, but he can teach his son!
As soon as Lu Gui exited the door, the old doctor slapped his hand on the table and said to his son: "If you don't know how to teach your wife, send her back to her parents' home and let her brothers teach her."
The sound is neither too loud nor too quiet, and is enough for people in the room to hear.
