295. Relatives of the Lu family

 In the afternoon, Lu Changqing accompanied Nuan Nuan to buy a lot of gifts.

In the evening, when I was packing up and getting ready to go back to the room to sleep, Jiang’s mother called Nuannuan.

"Nuan Nuan, come over here and I want to tell you something."

With that said, he called Nuannuan into their house.

Father Jiang had a cigarette in his mouth and was reading a book under the lamp. When he saw his daughter coming in, he quickly put out the cigarette in his mouth.

"Why are Nuan Nuan here?"

Tucked in the quilt.

Jiang Ma rolled her eyes at him.

"How many times have I told you, if you want to smoke, smoke outside. If I catch you smoking inside the house again, I will confiscate all your cigarettes and see if you still smoke."

Father Jiang quickly accompanied the smiling face.

"Honey, I promise I won't do it next time. I couldn't hold it back just now. I was reading so seriously that I forgot about it. By the way, it's already now. Why did you call your daughter over?"

Speaking of this, Mother Jiang’s face was filled with sadness.

"Nuan Nuan is now a sophomore and will graduate next year. We originally agreed to marry Chang Qing after graduation. Now that our mother is gone, we should observe the three-year filial piety period. If this is true,

If we keep it for three years, Nuan Nuan will be twenty. Changqing is already much older than our Nuan Nuan. If we keep it for three years, the Lu family will have objections."

When Nuannuan heard this, she thought she was worried, but it turned out to be this matter.

"It's appropriate to observe the three-year filial piety period. The Lu family won't care about it, so you don't have to worry, Mom."

Father Lu and Mother Lu are usually busy with their own affairs. There is no need to push for marriage. It’s just that Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu are more anxious.

But his old man will definitely understand their difficulties.

Jiang's mother glanced at her as soon as she heard this.

My daughter is still too young.

"You can't say that. There are several younger brothers under Changqing. Changchuan is not young anymore, and he and Yang Mei get along so well. What will happen to the younger ones below if Changqing, the eldest brother, doesn't get married?

We can’t just consider our family.”

When Father Jiang heard these words, he also thought about it seriously.

"Daughter-in-law, what you said makes sense. The Lu family is different from ours. The two of them have been engaged for more than a year. It's definitely not possible to delay the whole three years. How about changing the filial piety period to one year. Ancient times

At that time, there was also a saying that one year of mourning should be observed. Let’s just follow this and no one will say anything.”

The key is that their son is not young anymore, and he and Mingyue are also planning to get married, and they have to stay married for three years. Then they don't have to wait four or five years to have a grandson.

So in the end we decided to change the validity period from three years to one year.

The original agreement to get married after graduation remains unchanged.

Nuannuan has no opinion.

"Okay, as long as you decide. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to bed first. Good night, Mom and Dad."

After saying that, he went back to his room.

Early the next morning, Lu Changqing drove Nuan Nuan back to Lu's house.

As soon as she entered the gate, Nuannuan saw two hens flapping in the yard.

The two hens were wilted and chirping. They looked like they were listless.

"When did grandma raise chickens? Look at how the chickens are not doing well."

Lu Changqing also looked confused.

My grandma is a delicate old lady. Her usual hobby is to read and embroider. Raising chickens is never a chore.

How come there are two more hens in the house for no reason?

"I don't know either. Let's go back and ask grandma."

With that said, the two opened the door and entered.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a simple and honest man sitting compactly on the sofa.

The man was wearing an old-fashioned cotton coat.

That cotton-padded coat should be his best clothes.

There are no patches on the clothes, and the creases are sharp and angular. At first glance, it seems that they are treasured and reluctant to wear.

As soon as I heard a noise at the door, I immediately stood up in panic.

He looked at Lu Changqing timidly.

When Mr. Lu saw Nuan Nuan and Lu Changqing coming back, his face lit up with joy.

He quickly comforted the man and said: "Brother, what are you doing standing up? Changqing is a junior, you don't have to be so restrained. Changqing, come here. This is your Grandpa Zhao Si. When you were a child and the full moon was over, Grandpa Si was still

I hugged you."

Zhao Laosi smiled honestly when he heard Mr. Lu's words.

"In the blink of an eye, Changqing has grown so big. I haven't seen him for so many years, and he probably doesn't know that he has a relative like me. This girl is quite beautiful. Is she Changqing's daughter-in-law? When did she get married?

?Why didn’t you send an invitation to us?”

Nuan Nuan and Lu Changqing came over, and they shouted politely.

"Fourth Grandpa."

"Fourth Grandpa."

When he heard Nuannuan calling him, Zhao Laosi was a little panicked. He touched his pocket awkwardly and took out nothing.

According to the rules, you have to give money to your new wife when you meet her for the first time, but he has nothing in his pocket, not even a dime, so what can he give her?

A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face.

Mr. Lu naturally noticed his embarrassment and quickly greeted him.

"Hurry up and sit down. The two children are just engaged but not married. The last engagement was in a hurry. I didn't have time to notify the people back home, so I didn't let you come all the way here. Brother, don't worry.

When I get married, I will definitely invite you to have a wedding banquet. Sit down quickly, it will look more lively when you stand."

Zhao Laosi sighed and sat down.

Nuannuan looked at Zhao Laosi curiously.

I didn’t expect the Lu family to have such relatives.

The old man spoke at this time.

"Fourth brother, let everyone in the family rest assured that I will try my best to get food for you."

Zhao Laosi felt relieved when he heard this, and then Grandma Lu's voice came from the kitchen.

"Oh, Fourth Brother, you have a good harvest of aquatic products this year. The crabs are really plump. But you have to be careful when going to sea. Safety is the most important thing."

When Zhao Laosi heard this, he stood up nervously.

"We only fished in the nearby waters. We didn't dare to go far away. Now we don't dare to go out without a big boat. This is what my Haiwazi caught for you all night. I didn't dare to stop swimming when I got back.

I came here, and I hope you won’t dislike us, the shabby people from the countryside.”

Grandma Lu and the others did it in the kitchen, and Nuan Nuan also went over to help.

First, I said hello to Aunt Lu and the others, and then I saw the big crabs placed in the dumplings.

That head is really too strong.

Nuannuan was surprised.

"What a big crab. It seems that I, Chang Qing, have come back just in time to have something delicious."

Zhao Laosi also heard Nuannuan’s words outside.

"Daughter-in-law Changqing, if you like it, I'll send you some more later. Those of us who live by the sea are in short supply. We can get a lot if we go to the sea."
