Under the bare old peach tree, Father Lu was sitting on a pony pony and playing chess with others. There was a circle of people around him. They were either standing, squatting or bending over, and they were fascinated by each one.
"Hey, let's go!"
"Isn't it good to go down here?"
"No, no, I think it's better to go here!"
Lu's father was deep in thought, but he was ordered by the people next to him, and his thoughts suddenly became confused.
So he shouted: "Stop arguing, watch chess without talking, do you understand?"
"Hey! Didn't I give you an idea? You are too slow, and the people watching will be very worried."
"Or you come down and let me come!"
The people next to him were eager to try, they wanted to drag Papa Lu down and go up on their own, to fight back against the wind, and kill all directions!
Father Lu frowned and glanced at them, and continued to think about his next step, "I'm being cautious."
The next match with him is the old village head. He is too good at chess, if Lu's father makes a wrong move, then he will make a wrong move after that.
The old village head grabbed his white beard and urged: "Hurry up! Every time I play with you, a round will take half an hour."
Father Lu didn't refute, and slowly moved a chess piece. The old village chief narrowed his eyes when he saw it, and began to hesitate.
Father Lu picked up the thermos cup on the small table, unscrewed it, looked at the steaming hot tea, and took a sip happily.
"Hoo~"
The enjoyment and complacency in his eyes made all the old buddies blind.
"Dad—" Lu Zetian's voice suddenly sounded, "Go home, we'll have dinner right away."
Father Lu responded, took a look at the move made by the village chief, stood up and left without hesitation, "I'm done eating, I can't play anymore."
The old village chief looked at Papa Lu who was running away, blew his beard and stared angrily, "You lost! You lost because you ran away!"
"Stinky chess basket!"
Father Lu didn't speak, just smiled and waved his hands, then walked quickly to Lu Zetian's side, and followed him home.
After walking a few steps, they were suddenly stopped by someone.
"Hey~ hey! In-laws, in-laws, etc!"
Lu Zetian turned his head and saw that the person who came was really Qin Shi's father, and frowned slightly.
Qin Shi made her affairs very clear at that time, and also expressed that she did not want to associate with them in the future. After Lu Zetian gave so much money at that time, Qin Shi simply said that she would not come to him in the future.
At that time, the Qin family was so angry that they said that the water splashed by the married daughter had hardened their wings before they left.
Qin Shi didn't bother to talk to them, she knew that the Qin family just couldn't bear to part with Lu Zetian, a good son-in-law, and wanted to take money from him for a long time, but it wasn't because they didn't want to part with and cared about Qin Shi himself.
At that time, the dowry money was given to them, so Qin Shi told Lu Zetian that her family would come to her in the future, and she would not care about anything.
Lu Zetian knew these things very well, but Lu's father only knew that the Qin family was unreliable and was not good to Qin Shi. Qin Shi's father caught up and greeted him with a smile, and Lu's father responded politely, "It's my in-laws."
"Yes, long time no see, my in-laws." Father Qin smiled honestly.
Father Lu chuckled, "It's been a long time since we met. The last time we met was when the two children got married."
The smile on Qin's father's face stiffened slightly, but it returned to normal in the next second. He still smiled and said, "I heard people say that Qin Shi is back? Haven't seen her in a long time? I'm thinking about it, so I came to see her." At first glance, I didn't expect to meet you, hehe."
Papa Lu felt a little uncomfortable. Qin Shi came back just a day ago, and he came to the door anxiously. What's the hurry? I have never seen him ordinarily, and I never come to their village. This meeting is a family of one relative.
"We're fine, you don't need to worry about it," Lu Zetian interrupted suddenly: "It's getting late, you should go back quickly, it's not easy to travel late, I will be very upset when I go back, Qin Shi said you came to find her."
Qin's father had always been a little afraid of going to Lu Zetian. Now that he said this, Qin's father agreed and did not force him to go to Lu's house.
"Okay, then I'll go back first," Qin's father looked at Lu Zetian and said, "Come back with Qin Shi when the time comes, and I'll ask your aunt to prepare a good table for you."
Lu Zetian didn't speak, just smiled slightly.
Qin's father left, Lu Zetian and Lu's father turned around and walked home.
Lu's father asked, "Why do you say that?" Everyone walked to the door of the house, but he was not asked to go in. This is not the way of hospitality.
Lu Zetian explained: "Qin Shi doesn't have a good relationship with his family."
Father Lu glanced at him sideways, and Lu Zetian looked back calmly. Father Lu was silent for a moment and then asked, "Then when will you return to Qin Shi's mother's house?"
Lu Zetian replied, "No."
Lu's father stared: "Huh?"
"Qin Shi won't go back." Lu Zetian knew that it was too late for her to hide. At that time, she didn't even want her parents to go to her house for dinner, and she wanted to be clean.
Father Lu knew about the sale of Qin Shi University's quota, so he didn't bother with it for a while, and just sighed: "You can handle your own affairs."
As long as they live well, he doesn't interfere.
"En." Lu Zetian responded, but he thought of the treaty in his heart, and couldn't help feeling a little headache.
When I got home, the meal was almost ready.
Lu's mother gave Lu's father a sideways glance, "Why are you acting like a child? If you don't ask you to come back for dinner, you won't be able to play anymore?"
Lu's father glanced at the children, a little embarrassed, "I was planning to come back." He was planning to come back after the round from the beginning.
Lu's mother gave him another white look, "Hurry up and wash your hands. After dinner, go to Lao Li's house to borrow mahjong. Let's play mahjong at night."
Lu's father was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that she would take the initiative to play cards, "Don't you like playing cards?"
Father Lu understood. It's not that she doesn't like playing cards, but that she doesn't like playing cards with those mothers-in-law in the village. "Okay, I'll borrow it after dinner."
After washing his hands and eating, Father Lu looked at the big pot of yams on the table and wiped them, his eyes brightened slightly.
He likes to eat this very much, but it's too troublesome to make, and Lu's mother usually doesn't do it.
First, rub the potato into strips with a special fork, then mix it with flour, and then steam it in a pan.
The fork is not easy to use, and rubbing the potatoes is really laborious. If Lu Zetian and the others were not there, Mother Lu would not be able to do it.
A large pot of yams was rubbed together, and Mother Lu took a big spoon to break it into pieces, scooped a bowl for each of the children, and let them watch the sauce by themselves.
There are two kinds of sauces, one is stir-fried green peppers with tomatoes, and the other is oil-splashed garlic water, both of which are fragrant.
An'an always wanted to come, but Pingping and Gu Qinghai only liked tomato sauce, and didn't like garlic water with a strong garlic flavor.
This is the first time for Qin Shi to eat this. The yams are very chewy when rubbed, and they are especially delicious when mixed with the juice. The salty, slightly sour, and full of garlic flavors are very suitable for her taste.
She memorized the method, thinking that she could do it by herself when she went back.
This is the special delicacy here, but the original body has never eaten it. The Qin family never fiddles with food, just eat as long as you are full, and don't pursue taste.
After eating some dried yams, I had a bowl of meatball vermicelli soup, and my stomach immediately became round.
"There's a lot left." An An looked at the remaining half pot and patted her belly.
"It's okay, fry them for breakfast tomorrow morning." Lu's mother has already thought about the meal for tomorrow morning: "Cook another corn porridge, and eat the tea you brought Shishi."
"Wow~" An An blinked, "That's great!"
Mother Lu laughed, stood up and touched her flat head, "Little greedy cat!"
Pingping was a little embarrassed, and smiled shyly.
After dinner, everyone began to clean up the dishes together, while Lu's father went out to borrow mahjong.
After tidying up, everyone immediately set up a small table on the kang and started playing mahjong.
They did not play for money, but each took thirty dry corn kernels and won the corn.
Mother Lu, Father Lu, Lu Yao and Qin Shi played mahjong, while Lu Zetian watched the children. They played childish games with Lu Zetian. Not only was he not impatient, but he actually enjoyed it.
The mahjong players glanced at them from time to time, seeing how beautifully they were playing, a smile appeared on their faces unconsciously.
After fighting for two or three hours, Mother Lu won all the corn from the other three families by herself, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.
When it was over, everyone lined up to wash up.
Today's sleeping arrangement is still the same as yesterday's. After Lu Zetian gets alone with Qin Shi again, he still dare not look at Qin Shi as yesterday.
Qin Shi couldn't help laughing, and Lu Zetian was even more embarrassed when he heard her laughter.
So he talked about meeting Qin Shi's father in the evening to divert the embarrassment.
When Qin Shi heard this, the smile on her face soon disappeared. She didn't want to go back, and she didn't want to have anything to do with them.
Lu Zetian knew what she was thinking, but they won't leave for the time being, and if they don't go back for a while, I'm afraid some bad words will come out.
Qin Shi said indifferently: "They can talk as they like, I don't care, anyway, we will leave in a month, and we won't hear anything from now on."
"Compared with gossip, I'd rather be clean and save money."
Can't you bring anything back to your mother's house? And no one in the family really cared about her, so why go back?
She doesn't do business that loses money.
Lu Zetian knew this would happen a long time ago, so he just smiled and didn't say anything more.
After a pause, he said again: "At that time, your grandma sold your university quota. Although she returned the money to the buyer in advance, it was still a violation of the law, so she was detained for half a month."
"After I came out, I was taken back by the police. The police held a law-enhancing conference and used your grandma as a negative example. Everyone knows about it."
Lu Zetian: "Everyone knows what's going on in your house, even if you don't go back, you probably won't say anything."
"Your family... probably wouldn't dare to make trouble."
Qin Shi looked at him sideways: "Are you comforting me? Don't you think I'm selfish, I've done too much, and I'm not filial?"
Lu Zetian shook his head: "No, stupid filial piety is bad."
Qin Shi laughed.
Neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere became quiet.
Just when Lu Zetian thought Qin Shi had fallen asleep, she suddenly spoke again.
Qin Shi: "Lu Zetian."
"Huh?" Lu Zetian looked at her sideways, "What's wrong?"
Qin Shi was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Good night."
Lu Zetian felt that what Qin Shi wanted to say at first was not this sentence, but he didn't pursue it, but just said "good night" cooperatively.
Qin Shi turned sideways, turned her back to Lu Zetian, and closed her eyes.
Lu Zetian looked at her back and stayed awake for a long time.
The author has something to say:
Qin Shi (hesitating): Forget it, let’s not talk about it, let’s take a look.
Lu Zetian (playing stupid): If you don't tell me, I won't ask.
Lu Zetian hinted at it before, but Qin Shi was firm and joked that he would leave in the future, so Lu Zetian didn't dare to mention it later, for fear that Qin Shi would leave directly hahhh
