Chapter 2 The old cow eats the tender grass
When they arrived at the new house, Lu Huaian's face turned black.
There are four bedrooms in the house, but they are all big enough, and he always sleeps on his side. Why did he get arranged in this side room?
Did he remember it wrong?
"What's wrong?" His father glanced at him and coughed: "Your mother said you guys should stay here first and then move back to that house after a while."
Lu Huaian thought for a while, and it seemed that when Shen Ruyun was pregnant, they would move back to that room because the side room was leaking.
But he was still reluctant. No matter what kind of house he changed to, he didn't want to live in this old house, let alone the side house that was originally used to raise pigs. It smelled bad.
Shen Ruyun didn't know anything, so she sat in happily, her little face couldn't help but smile.
Silly.
It had been too long since he had returned to his old house, and Lu Huaian felt inconvenienced everywhere.
I don’t know where his mother is. There is nothing in the main room. The mother-in-law and the others don’t know where to sit. A group of people are huddled in the corner, holding teacups with confused expressions.
Lu Huaian became worried when he saw how embarrassed they were. They were good at everything, but they were too honest.
He grabbed his little brother who was running around and shouted: "Where's the chair?"
The younger brother was startled, but when he turned around and saw it was him, he smiled and said, "Mom has moved her house. She said there are too many people here and the chairs are blocking the road."
"Go, move here." Lu Huai settled for a moment and then caught him: "Forget it, I'll go with you."
The door was closed tightly, but when he pushed it open and went in, he could not find Zhao Xuelan lying on the bed, with a pale face and a weak breath.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Lu Huaian was a filial person and was shocked when he saw this.
Zhao Xuelan closed her eyes, groaning and had a headache, feeling uncomfortable and about to die.
"Go, call..." Lu Huaian subconsciously wanted to call the doctor over, but he couldn't remember what the doctor's name was at this moment: "Forget it, just go to the hospital and call dad over."
"Don't go to the hospital!" Zhao Xuelan sat up with her eyes wide open, then fell back when she saw his shocked face: "I can just lie down, it doesn't cost me."
Lu Huaian looked at her for a few seconds and suddenly remembered what Shen Ruyun was mumbling later.
"Your mother is pretending! She loves to pretend! She is in good health, but she is still running around in her 70s and 80s. You believe her lies!"
Yes.
When he died, his mother was still alive. She was in good health and could eat two bowls of rice at one meal.
Is it really pretending?
There was a lot of noise outside. Lu Huaian thought of the group of people who were still standing stupidly, decided to talk about it later, picked up a few chairs and walked out.
His brother also picked up a chair, but his mother sat up again: "Where are you moving? What are you doing?"
Standing at the door, Lu Huaian finally understood.
His mother's face was smeared with something, and her chin rubbed against the quilt until a large white patch appeared on the quilt. When she sat up, her powder puff fell down.
For a moment, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
He didn't say anything, just dragged the chair and left.
The mother-in-law and the others finally had some ground to sit on, holding tea in their hands and looking embarrassed.
Lu Huaian turned around and pulled out a stool, scooped out a bowl of fried peanuts and said, "Mom and dad, eat first. I'll go out and take a look when we have dinner later."
"Hey, good, good, good." Mother-in-law said cheerfully.
After catching his father in the kitchen, Lu Huaian ignored his doubts and pushed him directly to the main room: "My father just made tea. Come and chat with you."
"Hey, good, good, good." My father-in-law also smiled.
Seeing his father accompanying the guests, the uncles also had reason to join in. They were eating peanuts and drinking tea, and the main room was very lively for a while.
Lunch is a proper meal after all, but there really aren’t many dishes.
Only three tables were set up, and Lu Huaian couldn't help but think about his granddaughter, who had already set up thirty tables for Full Moon Wine.
The food wasn't that good either, so Lu Huaian took a few bites and started to toast.
Shen Ruyun also came out and toasted with him.
When he walked to his father, his father grabbed him and said, "Tell your wife to call your mother out. You still have to have a drink."
"I don't have time." Lu Huaian smiled and said, "Dad, go ahead, I'm making a toast!"
When Zhao Xuelan came out, the couple happened to be paying respects to their mother-in-law.
There's not so much fuss these days, just toast with a glass of wine, change your words, and you're considered married.
It took several years for them to even get their marriage certificate because they are not yet old enough.
Thinking of this, Lu Huaian suddenly froze. Shen Ruyun is... she is only seventeen years old now, not eighteen yet, right?
Looking at her pretty face, Lu Huaian deeply despised himself.
But then I thought about it, I seem to be only nineteen?
Okay, they are all old cows gnawing on young grass, no one can blame anyone else.
Thinking that I was still a young grass, I couldn't help but bring a smile to my face.
Turning around, he saw his mother sitting on the table with a drooped face.
The powder on my face has been washed away, but my nose is not a nose, and my eyes are not eyes.
Then Lu Huaian knew that she was going to make trouble again.
Every time she looks like this, she just wants to make a fuss.
Lu Huaian simply turned the cup around and faced his father: "Mom, Dad, I'd like to toast you."
Before his mother could say anything, his father was already a little drunk and nodded cheerfully: "Hey, hey, okay, drink, drink."
Before his mother could react, the wine was already finished.
After taking Shen Ruyun to sit down, Lu Huaian filled a bowl of rice for her: "Eat quickly."
Looking at the white rice in the bowl, Shen Ruyun felt uneasy.
The Shen family was so poor that they rarely had a meal. Most of it was cornmeal and sweet potatoes. Only during the New Year and holidays could they add some rice.
Shen Ruyun did not dare to raise her head and tugged at the corner of Lu Huaian's clothes: "Is it too much..."
many?
Lu Huaian glanced at her in surprise, how much is this! Didn't she eat two or three bowls every meal, saying she never had enough to eat before?
"Not much!" He glanced at her thin wrist and gave her a piece of meat: "Eat it, if you don't have enough, add more."
This is really a free-spirited meal.
Looking at her bulging cheeks, Lu Huaian muttered in his heart: Eat, eat, don't complain about not having enough food for you in the future.
After the villagers finished eating, they went back with their bowls, tables and chairs.
We were having a banquet at this time, so there were very few tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks. Everyone borrowed them and took them back after eating.
Shen Ruyun sat back in the room again, where her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law were talking to her.
After giving him some fried peanuts, when Lu Huaian came out, he heard his mother-in-law say that Shen Ruyun was blessed by marrying her.
Enjoy?
Why do you feel like you are suffering?
Lu Huaian sneered inwardly. The little daughter-in-law who is fair and tender now will become a yellow-faced woman in less than two years, and she doesn't know what kind of blessing she enjoys.
Thinking about Shen Ruyun's face, he really didn't understand.
The Shen family was obviously poorer, so how could she torture herself into the horrible state she did later in his family?
I don't remember most of what happened back then, but I can take a closer look now, so that she won't have to settle old scores in the future. He has forgotten everything and doesn't even have room to talk back.
The place at home is small, but fortunately there are many brothers and sisters, so there are plenty of beds. The mother-in-law and the whole family can barely stay together for one night without having to go to someone else's house.
The food was also leftovers, and no one said anything bad about it.
Lu Huaian was actually quite worried and looked at his father-in-law from time to time.
The strange thing is that my father-in-law never expressed any dissatisfaction from the beginning to the end, but always praised him for being sensible and promising.
It seems that it's not because the food is bad that I'm tired of him.
After going to a relative's house to deliver things, Lu Huaian returned to his room amid everyone's teasing looks.
He didn't react until he reached the room.
By the way, they are newly married and must live together.
But Lu Huaian looked at Shen Ruyun's face and knew that she was his wife, but he really couldn't do anything.
