"The day before yesterday, I went to Dijiangzi to look for you. When I got to the roadside, I asked Wang Dalong and said you were not there, so I came back!" Zhang Shaofeng frowned slightly: "You and Xiuyu need to hurry up!
"
This is a bit strange.
"The thing you want to talk to me about...is related to Xiuyu?"
Lu Lu quickly asked.
"In the past few days, I saw Ma Jinlan going to Zhu Chunmei's house several times. She was a matchmaker. At first, I was thinking that I was going to find a match for Qingzi, but then, I saw that Zhu Chunmei had received two
A man went to Qingzi’s house..."
When Zhang Shaofeng said this, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Lu before continuing: "I know the two people who came. I met them several times during meetings in the district. They are Wu Mingwei, the security director of Qingshan Tun."
Hearing what Zhang Shaofeng said, Lu Lu still didn't understand what it meant.
He almost immediately thought of the two men he met while riding Zhui Feng to Xiushan Tun that day.
Could it be that Ma Jinlan is helping arrange Chen Xiuyu's marriage?
However, this shouldn't be something that happened in a day or two, but I have never heard Chen Xiuqing and Chen Xiuyu mention it.
What the hell is going on?
Lu Lu frowned and thought for a while, thinking of Ma Jinlan's completely different reaction from the usual when he went to Caodianzi to find Chen Xiuqing and his brother and sister that day. During this time, he also heard from the brothers and sisters that Ma Jinlan was a little unusual...
Could it be that the brother and sister were also kept in the dark?
Very possible!
After finishing the work in the fields, Chen Xiuyu secretly went into the mountains to practice slingshots on the pretext of looking for wild vegetables in those days. Chen Xiuqing also often stayed with her, leaving early and returning late. She wanted to hide this kind of thing from the brothers and sisters.
It doesn't seem difficult either.
Now, since Zhang Shaofeng has said so, then it must be true.
"Brother Feng, wait for me at home tomorrow!"
Lu Lu stood up and left with the semi-automatic machine on his arm: "We will propose marriage tomorrow."
Zhang Shaofeng was stunned for a moment, looked at Lu Lu who was leaving in a hurry, and suddenly laughed. He admired Lu Lu's decisiveness.
"Okay, I'll wait at home tomorrow and won't go anywhere." Zhang Shaofeng said loudly from behind.
Lu Lu led Yuan Bao across the river, followed the dirt road to the main road of Xiushan Tun, and went directly to Wang Demin's house.
Still far away, Lu Lu saw Wang Demin and a few old men sitting on the top of an elm tree under a big apricot tree next to the yard, chatting.
Lu Lu came closer, and Wang Demin also noticed Lu Lu and greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Lu, are you going up the mountain? Why are you walking in such a hurry?"
Lu Lu was carrying a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, followed closely by four Yuan Bao Niangs. He really looked like he was going hunting in the mountains.
Little did he know that Lu Lu would bring a gun with him whenever he went into the mountains.
As for the four Yuanbao Niangs, they usually follow him wherever he goes, unless there is no one in the meadow who needs them to guard them.
I'm just used to being cautious.
Lu Lu stopped not far away and greeted Wang Demin: "Uncle, please come over here. I have something to do with you."
Wang Demin didn't think much about it, and walked over immediately: "Did you bring that yellow-haired pork leg to me a few days ago?"
"Yeah!" Lu Lu nodded.
Wang Demin stretched out his hand and tapped Lu Lu: "You kid...it's going to be noon soon, so you have to stay home for dinner today."
"No need to bother, I just came here after dinner..." Lu Lu glanced at a few old men who were looking over, stretched out his hand to hold Wang Demin's arm, walked further, sighed slightly and said: "Uncle, tomorrow
I want to ask you a favor."
"What's the matter?" Wang Demin asked with a smile.
"Help me go to Qingzi's house tomorrow to propose marriage." Lu Lu said directly: "I have already told Zhang Shaofeng that you two will go together."
"I thought you would propose marriage after a while...Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?" Wang Demin asked strangely.
I said before that I would wait until the house is built.
"I heard from Zhang Shaofeng that Qingzi often went to see Zhu Chunmei during this period. Just a few days ago, she even brought two men to Qingzi's house. I guess Ma Jinlan was going behind the back of the brothers and sisters to try to get Xiuyu.
The marriage is decided."
Lu Lu simply said: "This matter should be done sooner rather than later. I can only do it in advance."
After Wang Demin heard this, he frowned and thought for a while, then turned and glanced at Tundong: "I seem to have seen it too... It's really possible that Ma Jinlan can do this. Okay, it'll be a matter of time, don't worry.
It won't be easy to tell if someone takes a step forward when the time comes. I'll wait for you at home tomorrow."
"Sorry to trouble you...I'll come to see you tomorrow at noon. I'll go to the district to buy some things first."
After Lu Lu finished speaking, he turned around and led the four Yuan Baoniang away.
Since you are going to ask a matchmaker to propose a marriage, you cannot go empty-handed. You still have to have the proper etiquette.
Lu Lu had something to do, so Wang Demin didn't stop him. Watching Lu Lu walk away, he turned back and glanced at Tundong, said hello to a few old men sitting on the dead elm trees, and walked toward Tundong with his hands behind his back.
Lu Lu hurried all the way, and when he returned to Dixiangzi, Wang Yan was busy cooking.
"Brother Lu, why are you back so soon?"
Wang Yan was a little surprised. Lu Lu took the ingot with a gun, and it usually took a long time to go into the mountain. He had only been out for more than an hour now, and he came back empty-handed.
"Something happened, I have to go to the district!"
Lu Lu said simply, got into the underground cellar, changed into a set of clean clothes, took out the money that he had been keeping close to his body and put it away. After leaving the underground cellar, he took out the saddle that was placed inside the immortal pillar.
He whistled into the meadow.
When Zhui Feng heard the sound, he immediately ran out of the meadow.
When he arrived in front of Lu Lu, he rubbed Lu Lu's chest affectionately.
Lu Lu reached out and touched Zhui Feng's face, then put the saddle on the horse, led him out of the fence, turned over and rode on, and trotted all the way into the woods outside.
Wang Yan looked a little confused from behind, thinking that Lu Lu seemed to be in a hurry. He was not as usual today, always smiling and looking a little solemn.
Looking at Lu Lu's leaving figure, Wang Yan couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Brother Lu, what's going on today?"
After Lu Lu reached the road, he shook the reins and Zhui Feng immediately started running along the road. The wind whistled in his ears, but he felt a little annoyed in his heart.
My future mother-in-law is really not someone I can worry about.
If it weren't for the fact that she was Chen Xiuyu's mother, and if it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to drag Chen Xiuyu into running up the mountain to seek death in her previous life, Lu Lu really wanted to come to her door and scold her: "Crazy woman!"
When Lu Lu rushed to the district, Chen Xiuyu was washing clothes.
As the girl in the family, all the cleaning and washing of the whole family fell into her hands. Chen Xiuqing, who had followed Lu Lu into the mountains for four days and returned home, was left with dirty clothes at home. They were extremely sour and had to be rinsed immediately.
Since it's time to wash things, let's take advantage of the nice weather and wash all the clothes of several people that need to be washed.
Who knows, after washing and drying Chen Xiuqing's clothes and looking for other clothes, she accidentally saw a piece of red paper placed in the middle of the old bedding stacked in the cabinet.
Yes, they are the birth dates of her and a man named Wu Zelong.
