Seeing Lu Lu returning with an unkind look on his face, Zhu Chunmei's expression suddenly changed and she leaned closer to the two men intentionally or unintentionally.
"I didn't hear clearly what you just said, and I would like to ask you to say it again!"
Lu Lu didn't want to argue with her, but such words, which were no different from curses, were really unpleasant. In addition, he knew all the bad things she had done and had gossiped about Chen Xiuyu behind her back. He couldn't help but feel annoyed: "Why didn't you just say that?
You're going to throw me to death, right? How can you be so poisonous with your broken mouth? Is this your home on the road?"
Unceremoniously, Lu Lu sprayed him directly.
I thought that with Zhu Chunmei's mean character, she would definitely say something back, but who knew, she just lowered her head and said nothing, not even daring to meet Lu Lu's eyes.
"Why don't you say anything? Why don't you scold me again and I'll listen!"
Lu Lu pointed the riding whip at her. Zhu Chunmei was frightened and shivered again, and shrank back behind the middle-aged man, but still remained silent.
"Man, it's not a big deal. We shouldn't have stood in the middle of the road talking just now. We blocked the way. Please calm down!"
As the middle-aged man spoke, he took out a pack of Spring Festival cigarettes from his arms and handed one to Lu Lu.
Zhu Chunmei's reaction made Lu Lu unable to express himself. He glanced at the middle-aged man, snorted coldly, turned his horse's head, and continued running towards Xiushan Tunli.
"Who is this person? He has a bad temper!"
After Lu Lu left, the middle-aged man put the cigarette in his hand back into the cigarette case angrily, smiled at Zhu Chunmei and asked.
"A foreigner has only been in Xiushan Village for more than two months. He lives in a meadow in the mountains over there. I heard someone said that he used a big ax to chop up a bear bully. Not long ago, he let a dog out and killed the son of the director of the Liangzihe Forestry Farm.
If you bite him, he is a vicious person!"
Zhu Chunmei said with lingering fear: "I was afraid that he would scare you just now, so I couldn't help but curse a few words... Look at this domineering look, you can tell he is not a good person."
The middle-aged man nodded: "That's quite fierce! Okay, you can just send it here. We still have a long way to go back, so we won't delay. Now that the marriage has been decided, we will go back and choose the birth date."
It’s a good day, wait until the day is chosen and things are done, then I’ll reward you well!”
Zhu Chunmei smiled: "Then you have to hurry up."
"When we go back, we'll find someone to check on the future. I believe it won't be long before we come back... and leave!"
"Slow down!"
Watching the two of them go away, Zhu Chunmei turned around and walked towards Xiushan Village. As she walked, she muttered: "I curse you to fall to death on horseback one day. No matter what happens, there are rumors that you and that girl Xiuyu are going to have a relationship. I'm afraid you will
It’s impossible to get it!”
Lu Lu rode all the way into Xiushan Village, jumped off the horse and led him away.
There are many people in the village, so we can no longer run away on Chai Feng. Lu Lu still has some sense of caution.
On the road, Zhang Shaofeng's twins and several other children were playing marbles in a gray nest on the road. When they saw Lu Lu coming, the twins quickly got up from the ground and patted their clothes a few times, leaving dust everywhere.
, raising bursts of dust.
They are all busy making a living, and adults don't have much time to chase after their children every day. Naturally, they can't take good care of their children. Most of the time, they are left to their own devices. As long as they don't cause any trouble, they just lie in a gray nest.
Talking about marbles, picking up stones, and playing with mud are very common things.
The things that children these days can play with are monotonous. A slingshot, a glass marble, a comic book, a rubber band, or even just a few stones can keep them excited for a long time and make them play.
There are many tricks to come.
Of course, if you play dirty in such a gray den, you will definitely get beaten when you get home, but as long as the next day, most of them will forget about it and continue to pursue these simple happiness.
"Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu!"
Two little guys ran over and shouted happily.
"Aren't you all in school at this time today? Why are you running on the road to play?" Lu Lu reached out and rubbed the heads of the two little guys.
Looking at them like this, most likely they have completely forgotten about playing with the slingshot.
"This afternoon, the teacher had something to do and gave us a half-day holiday!"
Brother Zhang Tianyu said with a smile.
No matter when, vacation is a very happy thing for children.
"Look at you two, you are both acting like monkeys. If you go back at night, you will definitely get beaten!"
Hearing this, the smiling faces of the two little guys suddenly fell down.
Lu Lu smiled at them: "Come on, take me to your house. Is your dad at home?"
"No, my parents have gone to the fields." Zhang Tianhua led Lu Lu home.
That's right. At this point, everyone should be busy with something. Rural people are like this. They seem to have endless things to do, even if these things are meaningless in the eyes of many people.
However, it is precisely because of these seemingly meaningless things that we accumulate little by little the harvest in autumn and the family reunion in winter.
Zhang Shaofeng and his family were not here, so Lu Lu could only give the yellow-haired pig legs he brought to his two children to take home.
Who knew, when I went to Wang Demin's house and Duan's house next, the doors would be closed.
He could only hang the meat and bags on the fence at the entrance of the courtyard.
When returning to Dijiangzi, I met Zhu Chunmei again in the village. This time, she stayed far away from the roadside and pretended to look out of the main road.
Lu Lu ignored her. When he arrived at the village entrance, he got on his horse and galloped towards Dijiangzi. He returned to Caodianzi in a few minutes.
Chen Xiuyu's fire was burning brightly. While burning, she pulled out some smokeless charcoal from the fire. It had accumulated quite a pile. Her whole body was burned by the smoke and she kept coughing.
It was already hot today, and it was even more unbearable to be by the fire.
Lu Lu jumped off his horse and asked Zhui Feng to eat grass in the meadow. He quickly stepped forward and pulled her aside to rest: "Just make the fire strong. What are you doing with all this charcoal?"
"Don't you want to roast pork? I thought it would be bad if the meat was smoked by the fire, so I picked some that were cooked through and not smoked." Chen Xiuyu said with a smile.
She wiped her nose and forehead with the charcoal hand, and wiped it beautifully.
"It's okay. Didn't you see that I use fire to smoke meat? The meat is not unpalatable, right?"
Lu Lu said with a smile: "This life needs to be a little sparkling. I didn't get a good rest last night. It's been a long day today. Just sit down and rest. I'll do it. Well, go and wash your face first.
It looks like a tabby cat."
Chen Xiuyu blushed and ran towards the river.
Lu Lu took the ax and went to the forest behind to chop down two thicker tree branches and nail them to the ground. He also chopped two catalpa tree branches, spread the pickled wild boar cubs flat, tied them with wires, and put them on the fire.
Grilled on top.
"Have you heard of any girls in the village recently coming to propose marriage?" Lu Lu said casually: "When I went to the village just now, I met the matchmaker named Zhu and two people from other villages."
"I haven't heard of it!"
Most of the marryable girls in the village are about the same age as Chen Xiuyu, and they are also playmates who get together on weekdays. They are the most well-informed about whether there is a proposal for marriage or something. When they get together on weekdays, they have no shortage of each other.
Make fun of these things.
Chen Xiuyu thought for a while: "The matchmaker was very annoyed. She brought people to my house to propose marriage several times, but I turned her down and told people that I might be sick!"
