16. Negotiations

"Wife, why are you so smart? Our family is short of long-term workers. Hahaha. I'll tell him that when the time comes. It's a good reason. This time he must agree. I won't let me if he doesn't agree."

Lu Aiguo laughed. How many times he had persuaded Shishi in private to move in with him, but he refused. You say, what is there to live in his uncle's shack? But that kid is stubborn. In fact, he is not afraid that he will marry a wife, and his wife will dislike him, so he shirks?

"Don't ask him to bring the bedding, it just so happens that my old set is for him." Lu Aiguo wanted to sigh when he remembered the bedding of the stone. Even though his own is old, it is much stronger than his.

"Well, if it doesn't work, I'll add more, take out some of those things, and sell them for some cloth tickets. Only those oil can be exchanged for a lot of money. Anyway, we can't finish it all in a while, or give it to the uncle. Second uncle also take some of it?"

Xia Yuan knew that the current policy has been much looser than in previous years, and Lu Aiguo and Shi Shizong ran up the mountain and dumped some game outside to exchange for money and things. Refurbished. Speaking of which, there is still a credit for the stone in their house. In the future, if they live a good life, they have to help build the house together with the stone. As she thought about it, she urged, "Hurry up, don't let Xiaoyun wait."

"Daughter-in-law, do you think Xiaoyun will make trouble? Why don't we ask Xiaoyun first?" Lu Aiguo took the things They were all placed under the cellar, and when they got out of the cellar, I remembered and asked.

"...Should, no?"

Xia Yuan was also a little hesitant, she was not sure about her daughter's temperament for a while, "Isn't there a warehouse if it doesn't work, and it can be lived in if you clean it up. "

What are you talking about, Mom and Dad?" Lu Yun used a basket to clean up the tableware and chopsticks on the dining table. She also washed it at the well in the yard and took it back to the kitchen. She happened to hear the two talking about herself.

"I was saying that I wanted to ask Brother Shitou to come to live at home, Xiaoyun, would you like Brother Shitou to live in the same room with you?" Xia Yuan asked tentatively.

"Okay." Lu Yun agreed without hesitation.

Shishi? Is that Lu Aijun-the one who will be very promising in their Yushu Village in the future? It is said that he was later promoted to company commander in the army, and somehow suddenly died young.

She had met him a few times in her previous life, and he had a very good relationship with her father. It was said that even going to the army was the result of his father's hard work behind him. After arriving in the army, he would come to live at home on family leave. It's just that, he always finds her unpleasant, and has no other actions, that is, he ignores her every time.

But she didn't mind, she knew he was blaming her for delaying Dad in his heart. It's a pity... when he was gone, the relics were also sent to Dad. The reason why she was so impressed was that it was the first time she saw her father in front of her, and she couldn't hold back and started crying uncontrollably.

In fact, don't say that Dad was sad, she also cried secretly.

"Good girl." Lu Aiguo was obviously very happy and complimented her fiercely. Xia Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief. After experiencing a change, her daughter really became sensible at once.

"A lot of older brothers are hurting, so fools don't do it." Lu Yun pouted, Lu Aijun would never ignore her again in this life, right?

It's a pity that she really didn't know how Lu Aijun died back then, or else it could have been prevented in advance. It's a pity, maybe my father will be sad again in this life.

But can you try to find an excuse to call him back during that time? Or ask him to make an idea in advance to check his body? Lu Yun thought about it secretly. Let's talk about it later, there are still more than ten years, and it is useless to hurry now.

Lu Yun is immersed in memories here, while Lu Aiguo and Xia Yun have already counted the buns, there are 86 in total. After removing the remaining 30 and the 40 that were given away, there are still 16 left.

In the end, Lu Aiguo simply added two more buns to each family, and left six more. The rest were put in dustbins, covered with cloth, and put in the cellar for fear of being damaged. It's cold down there, so I can keep things longer.

After restoring the entrance of the cellar, the two of them took the big leaves, six or six meat buns with nine packs, all stuffed into a big backpack and carried by Lu Aiguo.

After everything was packed, before going out, Xia Yuan hesitated again, "It's not good to only send one thing? It's too much. Why don't we add a little more?"

"Then add two cans and a A package of snacks and a packet of candy."

After hearing Xia Yuan's simple words, Lu Aiguo also felt a little uncomfortable when he only sent one thing out. Fortunately, he had already prepared for the gift of visiting relatives. He quickly got his things and locked the door.

Uncle Lu's house where the three of them went first.

Lu Aiguo's father's generation had three brothers, all of whom were united.

Lu Aiguo's father was the youngest, but he was unlucky and passed away a long time ago. The uncle and uncle above took great care of their mothers when he was young, so Lu Aiguo is willing to give them some good things.

In addition to the two uncles, the closest relatives were Lu Hongzhen's cousin, Lu Aiguo's family. During difficult times, Lu Hongzhen helped Lu Aiguo's mother and son a lot. So it is not surprising that the two families are closer than others.

"You guys are here. The masters, Aiguo, Xia Yuan, and Xiaoyun are here."

Lu Aiguo's aunt was feeding chickens in the yard. When she saw the three of them coming in, she quickly put down the basin in her hand, lifted up her apron and wiped her hands with a smile on her face. come up.

"Xia Yuan and Xiao Yun, come in quickly. His uncle was still talking this morning, I guess you will come today. His brothers, sisters-in-law and children didn't go out at home, so they all recognized it, so that the family wouldn't know each other when they met in the future. "

Lu Aiguo's auntie said as she led a few people to the main room, "Xia Yuan will often come over to our mothers to chat and chat. There is also Xiaoyun, and my elder brothers and sisters will accompany me to play. In the future, if anyone dares If you bully you, ask your elder brother and sister to help you out."

Uncle Lu and Uncle Lu gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Lu Aidang and the youngest son Lu Aimin. Both of them are married and have children. Lu Aidang has a son named Lu Jinfeng who is nine years old this year; Lu Aimin has a son and a daughter, the elder sister Lu Ying is eight years old, and the younger brother Lu Jinchao is seven years old. The three of them were all a bit older than Lu Yun and could play together.

"I'll bring Xiaoyun here often in the future, so don't dislike our diligence in coming to the door." Xia Yuan couldn't help but smile when she heard the auntie's words. She also wants her daughter to have more playmates. In the past, except for her grandma's house, she seldom went out.

"I can't wait for you to come often, why would you dislike it?" The aunt smiled, the folds on her face made people feel kind and gentle. Compared with the mean face of Xia Yuan's ex-mother-in-law Chen Juxiang, it makes people feel much more comfortable. Xia Yuan had a natural sense of closeness to her as soon as she saw it.

17. Uncle's House

"Brother Aiguo and Xia Yuan are here."

Hearing her mother-in-law's voice, Lu Aidang's wife Lin Xue came out of the kitchen with three bowls of eggs in sugar water on a wooden tray, and greeted the two of them cheerfully. She didn't leave Lu Yun after that, and said to her with a smile, "Xiaoyun is so beautiful today, will Auntie give you sweet eggs later?"

"Thank you Auntie." Lu Yun nodded obediently. .

The top she was wearing today was a pink really good shirt, with fungus lace trimmed on the shirt, and a very nice round collar. Pair it with black pants and a pair of small white plastic sandals.

Not to mention anything else, just because her clothes, pants, and shoes are all new, this dress is very eye-catching in the mountain village of this era.

After all, at this time, everyone's clothes are still patched with patches on top of each other, especially the girls are wearing gray ones. The clothes and pants left by my sister.

"It's so good." Lin Xue couldn't help but smiled and looked at Lu Yun a few more times. No wonder his younger siblings regarded this daughter as a treasure in their palms. Not only did she look good, but she looked more cute and lovable than other girls.

Stepping into the main room, the whole family is indeed there.

Uncle Lu was sitting in the upper seat smoking a pipe, and Lu Aidang was sitting next to him, not knowing what they were talking about. Lu Aimin was surrounded by a few children watching him perform the acrobatic "Eating Fire".

Seeing them come in, everyone looked over and greeted them with a smile. The three children even left Lu Aimin and ran over to surround Lu Aiguo and called, "Uncle, what delicious food did you bring us?"

"You want something to eat before calling Auntie?" Lu Aiguo deliberately With a sullen face, "Call Auntie , and Sister Xiaoyun. It's delicious when you call it, and there's nothing if you don't."

Lu Jinfeng and Lu Jinchao grimaced at Lu Aiguo, and turned to Xia Yuanhe . Lu Yun called out loudly, "Auntie, hello, sister Xiaoyun."

Lu Ying was obviously introverted and shy, she saw her cousin and younger brother had called before she followed in a soft voice.

Xia Yuan responded with a smile to the children, took out a handful of candy wrapped in colored paper from her trouser pocket, and distributed a few to each of them. It attracted cheers from Lu Jinfeng and Lu Jinchao, and Lu Ying's shy thanks in a low voice.

Lu Yun opened her eyes and looked at the girl in front of her, the only girl in the Lu family who was close to her age. She got married early in her last life, and the marriage was not bad, but the two of them had little contact and were not familiar with each other.

Over there, Lu Aiguo had already taken out the gifts from the basket and put them on the table, then took Xia Yuan and introduced them one by one.

"You are really, come here, what else do you bring?" the eldest aunt said angrily, she reached out and took the eggs in sugar water from the tray held by the eldest daughter-in-law, and stuffed them with Lu Aiguo, Xia Yuan, and Lu Yun. a bowl.

"Come here, eat a bowl of sugar-sweetened eggs for each person, and you will have a sweet and beautiful life in the future."

Lu Yun took a look and saw that all three of them had two poached eggs in their bowls. She touched her bloated belly, and her face was sullen. For breakfast, she had eaten a bowl of porridge, two meat buns and at least one egg, which was beyond her usual food intake. Let's eat two more poached eggs... Next, I have to go to three houses, if each house has at least two eggs, my God, her little belly can't explode?

"Dad, Mom, I can't eat it."

Lu Yun looked at Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan sadly. They didn't eat less meat buns in the two mornings, so they probably couldn't stand it.

"Just take a few sips of the soup." Lu Aiguo was also a bit embarrassed when he saw the eggs in sugar water. ......

"How about that? Eat all the eggs. You should be polite when you come to Auntie. If you don't eat clean, don't blame Auntie for being angry."

"Auntie, we're not being polite. We ate too much in the morning. We won't be able to eat it anymore, so please forgive us." Lu Aiguo drank the sweet soup from the bowl in one gulp, put down the bowl and slid two packs of lotus on the table. Ye Bao's big meat buns were untied, revealing the chubby, white and tender big meat buns that were still warm.

"Well, I brought you a few pieces of the meat buns that I ate in the morning."

"You said, these are meat buns?" Not only the auntie was startled, but everyone else couldn't help but look sideways. One by one, their saliva almost dripped, and the three children were so greedy they couldn't move their eyes, but this time, none of them exhaled. Just staring at it. The longing in those eyes made Lu Yun feel unbearable. At the same time, I also have an infinite goodwill towards their non-noisy.

Maybe in the future I can secretly get some more goodies for them to eat.

Uncle Lu raised his eyes to look at those meat buns, then to Lu Aiguo, slapped the bong in his hand and said, "Where did you get the flour and meat to make the meat buns?"

"The meat buns are not made by yourself, either. It just happened to happen. Don't worry, it wasn't stolen anyway. It's hot, and I can't let this thing go."

Lu Aiguo was actually worried about where the thing came from, but he didn't show it, he just appeared out of nowhere. It's bad if you don't deal with it quickly, if there's a problem, he'll just carry it by himself.

Lu Aiguo didn't plan to stay any longer, "Uncle, Uncle, we still have to go to the second uncle and aunt's house. I'll bring Xia Yuan and Xiaoyun to play another day.

" "Uncle Lu nodded and didn't continue to struggle, but he overestimated the ability of this nephew in his heart.

Xia Yuan and Lu Yun hurriedly put the eggs in sugar water with a few mouthfuls of sweet soup on the table.

The family sent the three of them out, and the auntie closed the door tightly and fastened the bolt at the end. When she entered the main room, she said to Uncle Lu, "What kind of way does Aiguo have to get these meat buns? Tsk tsk, this It's really getting better and better, Xia Yuan and Xiaoyun can enjoy following him."

"When people get good things, they're thinking of honoring you. What do you say you don't have?" Uncle Lu glanced at her angrily.

"I'm just talking about it casually." The aunt sneered and went to look at the meat buns, "My dear, one pack of six, two packs of twelve, there is one left for this person.

" Eat one, don't waste it when it's hot." Uncle Lu made a direct decision, and his words brought joy to everyone's faces.

"Okay, I'll give you and Ai Dang and Aimin an extra meal for the remaining three yuan." The aunt nodded readily, "You three men are the pillars of the family, and you usually do heavy work. You should eat something, and eat it in front of your face for a while, don't divide it up."

Lin Xue and Zhang Cui laughed, "Mother, don't worry, we don't divide their food, and we don't call the children. Eat." The three children also nodded, all staring at their grandmother, watching her divide the meat buns piece by piece.
