Lu's mother was choked, seeing that Lu Zhi didn't listen to her, she threw her hand away angrily, and said angrily: "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in the future. If you don't say anything else, just look around and see them. How many brothers does the family have?"
Mother Lu said: "There are six of them! There is also a younger brother who is not married. When the family is separated in the future, how much can you share? The whole family is noisy, and you have to bear it every day."
"Mother, don't worry, my grandfather said that the Zhou family has a good family style and is not noisy."
"That's why you can't marry anymore," Mother Lu said, "Your mother-in-law has been sick for so many years and can hold down several daughter-in-laws and dare not move. When you marry in, what good life will you have?"
Lu Zhi couldn't help but feel confused, why did one thing change its meaning in the mouths of his grandfather and mother
Lu Zhi rubbed his forehead and said: "Mother, this marriage is decided by my grandfather, if you don't agree, you can just go and talk to my grandfather."
Mother Lu patted her angrily, and said, "If I can tell your grandfather, do I need to torture you here? Anyway, you remember, when your grandfather asks you, you say you don't agree, you don't like it. Zhou family, do you understand?"
"When I first came back, my grandfather had already asked me, and I said it all depends on my grandfather."
"When the Zhou family came to the door again, you said you didn't like it. Anyway, the marriage hasn't been settled yet, so it's okay to go back on your word."
Lu Zhi pursed her lips, and Mother Lu patted her arm and asked, "I was talking to you, did you hear me?"
Lu Zhi couldn't help but rubbed his arms, and said sullenly, "I heard that."
The next day, Lao Zhoutou and Qian Shi came to the door with a basket of eggs and some pastries, and of course they led Zhou Wulang.
Man Bao still had a day off, so he came to join in the fun with his curiosity.
Matchmaker Wang had been waiting at the entrance of Dali Village for a long time, and she smiled when she saw them, "I reckon you are coming soon, let's go, let's go, when I passed by the old doctor's house just now, I saw their The daughter-in-law is sprinkling water and sweeping the gate, obviously waiting for you to come."
She likes to be a matchmaker for this kind of marriage that has already been agreed. It only takes a little effort to get two matchmaking money, and there is no need for her to run around.
Speaking of which, Zhou Wulang from the old Zhou's family and the young lady from the old doctor's family are both troublesome. The family she introduced to them before was not twenty, but fifteen.
In the end, both of them failed, so why didn't she think of bringing them together to have a look
Oh, by the way, the head lady of the Lu family is looking for families in the town and city.
Matchmaker Wang curled her lips secretly, and cheerfully led the Zhou family to the door.
The old doctor drank the prescription given by Man Bao yesterday, and he felt much better. At least his nose stopped running, his throat didn't hurt so much, and his head didn't feel dizzy anymore.
So when I got up early in the morning, I smiled and saw that my granddaughter was still wearing half-worn clothes, so I smiled and said, "Zhi Niang, didn't you make a new set of clothes this year? Go and change into new clothes."
Lu Zhi glanced at her mother and responded with a smile.
In fact, when she got up in the morning, she was wearing new clothes, but her mother asked her to change them, and if she changed them now, she didn't have to search through the boxes, she could just take them out and put them on.
Mother Lu: ...
She didn't dare to resist her father-in-law.
Lu Zhi just finished changing her clothes when there was a knock on the door, knowing that the Zhou family might come to propose marriage today, so everyone in the Lu family was there.
As soon as the door opened, Father Lu saw the old Zhoutou couple.
He only glanced at them, and then his eyes fell on Wu Wulang. Seeing that he was upright, with his head held high, he was not timid or arrogant, so he smiled a little more.
After the two families exchanged pleasantries, Mrs. Qian gave out the presents she had brought, and Matchmaker Wang began to talk about the children of the two families.
Mother Lu took a look at the things they brought, and although her face was a little pale, she still glanced at her daughter, hoping that she would refuse.
But Lu Zhi kept her head down and stood behind the old doctor. When the old doctor turned to ask her, she whispered: "I will listen to my grandfather."
The old doctor nodded cheerfully, "Alright, alright, since the two children have no objections, let's make a decision for them today?"
Old Zhou Tou had no opinion at all, and nodded with a smile on his face.
Lu's mother became anxious and almost couldn't help standing up, but when she moved, the old doctor looked at her with a smile and said, "Boss daughter-in-law, go to the kitchen to see what's on the table. At noon, the in-laws and Matchmaker Wang will be there." Eat here."
Facing Father-in-Law's gaze, Mother Lu's heart froze, she lowered her head in response, got up and went to the kitchen, Aunt Lu quickly followed.
By the time Mother Lu was able to come out of the kitchen, the two families had already exchanged notes and made an appointment.
Old Zhou was very anxious, but he also knew that it would be very undignified to propose a date of marriage after making an appointment, so he could only suppress his mood and planned to wait for a while before letting the matchmaker come to the door.
It's really that Zhou Wulang is getting old, so it's not easy to wait any longer. If he can't bring his wife home before the new year, then it's not good to marry in the busy spring.
But now their family grows spring wheat year after year, which means that they are not very free until the autumn harvest.
Their family doesn't mind marrying a daughter-in-law during the busy farming season, but the girl's family will definitely mind marrying a daughter-in-law during the busy farming season.
So it's better to marry before the Chinese New Year, otherwise Zhou Wulang will really have to wait another year.
Mother Lu was still busy in the kitchen. As soon as the dishes were brought out, she saw two big red envelopes on the table. Those things looked so familiar.
The dish in her hand was almost thrown out by her.
When Lao Zhou's family left, her complexion was not good.
As soon as the people left, she went back to the house with a sad face, and then began to cry in the house.
She didn't hide her grievance at all, so although she didn't deliberately amplify her voice, she didn't suppress her crying. For a while, the happy yard was quiet.
The only sound in the house was her crying.
The old doctor put away the smile on his face, and said nothing with a sullen face.
Lu Gui and Lu Zhi stood with their heads down, and Aunt Lu didn't dare to move for a moment. Aunt Lu's three-year-old son looked around, and finally slipped into the arms of his great-grandfather.
The old doctor patted his back and smiled again, "Come on, go out with your mother and sister-in-law to play."
The old doctor took out a few pennies from his pocket and put them in his little palm, and said with a smile, "Go buy candy."
The child immediately cheered up and yelled, "Go buy candy, go buy candy, mother, sister, go buy candy."
Aunt Lu hugged her son and left with Lu Zhi.
The old doctor will not teach his daughter-in-law, he is just a father-in-law, and he still talks about human relations, so he just left his son behind.
It is impossible for him to teach his daughter-in-law, but he can teach his son!
As soon as Lu Gui exited the door, the old doctor slapped his palm on the table and said to his son, "Your daughter-in-law, if you don't know how to teach, send her back to her natal family and let her brothers teach her a lesson."
The sound was neither loud nor low, but it was also loud enough for the people in the room to hear.
The crying in the room stopped.
