Chapter 126 Looking at each other
Shen Fugui and Wang Guizhi asked Shen Shoutian to go to the commune early in the morning to buy three pounds of pork belly, and they also bought an old hen from the village with great effort.
Lu Qinlan and Su Xiaomei did not go to work today. They washed and cleaned the house. They also stewed the old hen early and waited for their sister-in-law to come.
Uncle Guai was driving the cart in front, and he saw from afar a brand new blue brick and tile house standing in a row of houses. The gate of the courtyard didn't look big, but if you stretched your head to look inside, you could see that the courtyard was quite large and the house was beautifully built. He had an idea in his mind, because he had heard before that Shen Meng's parents were building a new house, and he was afraid that it was that family.
Zhu Juying also noticed the new house, but the closer she got, the more nervous she became. She even held Lu Xiangxiang's hand tightly. In contrast, Lu Xiangxiang was much more relaxed. After all, it was just a blind date. When she was still sick, her second sister-in-law brought her cousin's son to the house. When she saw the person, she almost cried.
That man, that man...was not even as tall as her legs. No idea how he ended up working in the blacksmith shop. He must be the one who cooked in the stove.
Shen Fugui and Wang Guizhi were also very nervous, but they believed in their daughter and son-in-law. They thought they must be a good girl, otherwise they would not have introduced her to their family. However, when they heard that there was a troublesome sister-in-law in the family, they were still a little uneasy.
"Here it comes, isn't that Xiao Meng?"
"Look at me, it's so cold. Qinlan, people are coming, hurry up and pour some hot water. Oh, and bring out the sweets, cakes, and fruits as well."
Lu Qinlan untied the apron around her waist and stretched it hard.
"Mom, don't worry. When they come home, we will pour water and serve food. Only when they see it will they know how much importance we attach to it. If I serve food in advance before they come, they will think it is our own food and it will be difficult to entertain them."
"Yes, yes, am I not anxious?"
Lu Qinlan and Su Xiaomei, who was cooking in the kitchen, smiled at each other. Living in this big house, they felt much more open-minded. Just talking about the kitchen, the previous one was shabby and leaky. Sometimes when it rained, the rainwater would drip into the pot through the thatch, and even having a clean meal was a luxury.
Now the kitchen is not only spacious, but also has two pots. Both of these pots were brought over by my sister-in-law. Our life is even better than that of a rich landlord.
"Mom and Dad, grandpa and grandma are waiting at the gate!"
"Look, mom, grandma is wearing new clothes. Does she know we are coming?"
Shen Meng smiled without comment. Uncle Guai and Zhu Juying also looked over. The old couple standing at the gate were indeed wearing new clothes. It seemed that they took this blind date very seriously. They felt relieved.
The ox cart arrived at the door. Mingyang, Mingliang and Mingfang were the first to jump off the cart. Lu Zhenping held Lu Mingkai in his arms. The little guy fell asleep on the road with a small quilt covering him.
"Oh, my dear grandson, is Mingkai asleep? Carry him into the house!"
Wang Guizhi first touched the heads and faces of several children one by one, then looked at Lu Mingkai in Lu Zhenping's arms, and then looked at Uncle Guai's family. She looked at Lu Xiangxiang back and forth and saw that she was standing obediently, with a pretty face, and a green plaid jacket that made her look graceful.
"Okay, that's great!"
"Come on, go home, come in and have some hot water. You must be cold, brothers and sisters, come in and warm up quickly."
"It's not cold. I brought a blanket with me when I came here, so there's not much wind."
Shen Fugui greeted Uncle Guai and Zhu Juying, but Wang Guizhi grabbed Lu Xiangxiang's hand, looking extremely satisfied.
Shen Meng looked a little speechless. Her mother was too anxious. "Mom, where is Xiaobin? Is he at home?"
"No, as soon as he heard you were coming, he ran out with a bucket in his hand, saying he was going to the river to catch two fish. Your eldest brother and second brother went to work and will be back soon."
Although she was talking, her eyes were always on Lu Xiangxiang, who blushed and looked at Shen Meng for help. "Mom, don't scare Xiangxiang. We are all here and we won't run away suddenly. Don't be so nervous."
"Ah, uh, yes, yes, come on, girl, come and sit down, Qinlan Xiaomei, stop busying yourself, come and talk with me."
"Hey!"
Lu Qinlan and Su Xiaomei had secretly glanced at Lu Xiangxiang several times after she entered the room. Now that they were looking at her from a closer distance, they felt satisfied. Although she was not as bright and beautiful as the previous girl, she had another kind of beauty. Both were good.
"Uncle, auntie, drink some hot water. It smells good. This red date tea was made early in the morning. Drinking it today will be good for your health."
"Come here, this is the fruit candy cake that my brother bought at the commune this morning. Come and try it."
Uncle Guai and Aunt Juying held the enamel cups in their hands, feeling warm in their hearts.
Lu Xiangxiang's mentality has also changed a lot. At first, she was afraid that her second sister-in-law would make trouble again and make things difficult for her family, but it was difficult to refuse Shen Meng. She had to bite the bullet and come over. In fact, she had already lost hope for the marriage, but she didn't expect that Sister Meng's family members were so nice.
With a "bang", the courtyard door was pushed open, interrupting the lively conversation in the house, and everyone looked towards the gate.
Shen Xiaobin was carrying a bucket, with half of his pants still wet. When he saw the ox cart at the door, he knew that his sister and brother-in-law had returned. He was so happy that he went straight into the main room carrying the bucket.
"Sister, brother-in-law, come here, I just caught several big fish from the river, and there is also a fire head, look"
Seeing so many people in the room, including a few strangers, he suddenly realized who had agreed to go on a blind date with him today. He glanced around and fixed his eyes on Lu Xiangxiang. Coincidentally, Lu Xiangxiang also raised her head to look at him. The two looked at each other and both turned their heads away with red faces.
"You little rascal, your mother told you to come back early, but you had to stay out so late. Look at yourself, change your clothes quickly."
"Hey!"
Shen Xiaobin agreed in a daze, turned around and ran away. After a few steps, he ran back and took the bucket away. Wang Guizhi felt very embarrassed and was afraid that Lu Xiangxiang's family would look down on their stupid son.
"Well, ha ha ha, this kid is so happy to see his sister and brother-in-law, don't be surprised, sister!"
Like Lu Xiangxiang, Zhu Juying met her cousin Huang Maochun's son. Now looking at the tall and handsome Shen Xiaobin, how could she be dissatisfied? Looking at the beautiful big courtyard, she became more cautious and took a look at the house Shen Xiaobin went to. The doorway was bigger than the other houses, and she felt more satisfied.
"Why are you surprised? No, no, I am just happy to see my sister and brother-in-law. I understand, I understand."
Wang Guizhi felt relieved when she saw her like that.
Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping hardly interrupted, letting their elders chat and inquire about each other. They brought the people here, but they were not responsible for the follow-up matters. She kicked Lu Zhenping with her foot.
"Go and clean up the fish. I'll stew it later. It looks pretty big."
"it is good."
After a while, Shen Xiaobin packed up and came over here. If you ignore the way he walked with his hands and feet trembling and his flushed face, he looked quite imposing.
