On the third day of the wedding, the newlyweds were going to take the groom back to her parents' home for a visit. Shen Luzhu originally planned to take Chu Li with her, but the school in the village started on the 16th day of the first lunar month. On the day she and Chu Yi paid their respects, Chu Li had already asked for leave once, so it was difficult to ask for leave again, so Shen Luzhu had no choice but to give up!
The young couple went out together, went to the butcher's house in the village to cut the meat, and then bought two fish from the fishing boatman by the river before taking them to Shen's house.
The Shen family knew that their daughter was going back home with her new uncle today, and they had already prepared for it. Before it was even past two o'clock, the second brother Shen Songjie, who was chatting with the neighbors at the door, saw what looked like his sister and brother-in-law coming back from a distance. , hurriedly greeted and greeted him!
"Second brother!" Shen Luzhu called happily to Shen Songjie who came up to him.
When someone came up to him, Chu Yi also shouted after his shoes: "Second brother!"
Shen Songjie patted Chu Yi on the shoulder: "But I'm back next time. My mother-in-law has been looking forward to it since she got up in the morning. Let's go, let's go, the whole family is waiting!"
Although Shen Luzhu had only been away from home for three days, these three days were really like a year for the Shen family. When the three of them entered the hospital, the Shen family members had already heard the news and came out of the house to greet them. The couple were busy giving gifts to the elders.
Mother Shen was a little excited when she saw her married daughter. She pulled her in front of her and looked at her again and again. She was relieved when she saw her face was rosy and she was smiling!
The men were drinking tea and chatting in the main room, while the women of the Shen family were in the house where Shen Luzhu lived before she got married, talking to each other. Mother Shen took her daughter and sat beside the kang, wishing she could follow her to Chu's house to see in person: "How have you been these past few days? Is Chu Yi treating you well? Are his family members easy to get along with?"
"Auntie, Chu Yi is very kind to me. The next morning, when I was making breakfast for my husband's family, he was always by my side, lighting fires and delivering things! When giving new gifts, Uncle Chu's family He's here too, but my daughter wasn't prepared, and he still blamed everything on him!"
When Shen's mother didn't ask, Shen Luzhu didn't feel it yet, but now he recalled that Chu Yi was really good!
"Your grandpa and dad were originally attracted to him as a responsible person, so he is considerate and able to resist, which is really good!" After hearing this from her daughter, Mother Shen was completely relieved!
Second Aunt Zheng heard something was wrong: "Niece, you just said that Mr. Chu's family was here when we gave the new gift. Aren't they already separated? Why are you still meddling in other people's affairs?"
After hearing what Zheng said, Shen's mother also reacted: "Yes, we have separated into separate families, and we are just ordinary relatives. We should have our share of the wedding banquet. How can we still be there the next day?"
Shen Luzhu didn't want to worry his family. Besides, the matter had been resolved, so he just said that he didn't know: "Maybe something happened, and I happened to catch up. Not only do I not know, but even Chu Yi doesn't know! Ah Mom, stop talking about me, how is your family, and what happened?"
"It's still the same at home, but you haven't been at home these past few days..."
The two stayed at the Shen family for lunch, and stayed for a long time after the meal. They did not leave until mid-afternoon under the reluctant eyes of the Shen family. As soon as Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi walked near the Chu family's old house, they saw a man squatting at the entrance of the courtyard, who seemed to be Chu Li!
Chu Yi called him, and when Chu Li heard his brother's voice, he got up and ran over, stopped in front of Shen Luzhu, and begged in a crying voice: "Sister-in-law, can you not let me move to my third uncle?" Go inside the house, I can’t take up much space, I can sleep in that house if I put my things in it, I don’t want to leave my brother, my sister-in-law, please don’t leave me!”
Shen Luzhu was a little confused by Chu Li's words. Seeing that tears kept making circles in his eyes and he was still trying not to cry, he felt very distressed. He quickly pulled him over and held Chu Li's cold little hand. He didn't know. How long has this child been staying outside? "Ah Li, you made my sister-in-law confused. Who said she was going to move into my third uncle's house? My sister-in-law likes our Ah Li, so why wouldn't she want you?"
Chu Li looked at Shen Luzhu, then looked up at Chu Yi, sniffed and said nothing.
Chu Yi stepped forward and picked up his younger brother with one hand, holding Shen Luzhu with the other, and brought the two of them back to the room. He put Chu Li on the kang in the new house, pulled up the quilt and surrounded him. He told Shen Luzhu that he wanted to go to his brother's room next door to take a look, then turned around and walked out.
Shen Luzhu washed the handkerchief, wiped Chu Li's face, and poured hot water for him to drink. Seeing that he was holding the cup of water without moving and looking worried, Chu Yi came back.
Chu Yi shook his head slightly at Shen Luzhu, which meant that Chu Li's things had not been moved, and then squatted in front of Chu Li with an expressionless face: "Chu Li, what did I say when someone gossiped last time?"
Before Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu discussed getting married, he had met someone else's girl, but in the end it didn't work out. Someone once came to Chu Li to gossip, saying that Chu Li was dragging Chu Yi down, which led to the failure of the marriage. Yes, Chu Li cried a lot at that time!
Chu Li murmured: "Brother said, don't pay attention to others, just believe what brother says...Brother, I'm sorry!"
"anything else?"
Chu Li was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Shen Luzhu next to him, he reacted: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry!"
Shen Luzhu felt that Chu Yi must be a strict father in the future, so should she be more gentle and be a loving mother: "A Li, no one can separate you from your brother, I can't, and neither can others. Even your brother can’t do it, so now can you tell my sister-in-law who told you what?”
"The eldest uncle said that from now on, my brother and my sister-in-law will be a family, and she asked me to move to my third uncle's house by myself. She said that my sister-in-law coaxed my brother and my sister to leave my father and mother behind before we got married. I have spent all my money, and I will definitely have to buy more things in the future. I will have to vacate that house sooner or later, so I might as well do it as soon as possible to avoid being criticized if I move in later..."
Shen Luzhu was really angry to death. Some people were like this. It was her own problem, but she always felt that it was others who were sorry for her. The aunt couldn't get over what happened yesterday, so she came back to vent her anger on Chu Li and give it to them by the way. Tim Du is coming!
Fortunately, Chu Li was young and didn't understand the meaning behind the words. He just thought it was because the sister-in-law couldn't put away her things and asked him to vacate the house. Did she not want him anymore? This was not a matter of whether the house could be emptied, uncle. Mother clearly meant that she, Shen Luzhu, instigated Chu Yi, and the two of them hid the truth from Chu Li and took away the property left by Chu Yi's parents!
"Ah Li, is the aunt still at home?" After receiving Chu Li's affirmative reply, Chu Yi turned around and was about to go out. He was not stupid, and naturally he heard what the aunt was implying. Regarding some things at home these years, Chu Yi , it’s not that he didn’t know, it’s just that after his father and mother left, he saw a lot and looked down on a lot, but this time the eldest uncle went too far!
Knowing that Chu Yi was going to settle a score with his aunt, Shen Luzhu hurriedly grabbed him: "Chu Yi!"
"Don't worry, I'm just talking to her, I won't do anything stupid impulsively!"
"No, you have to take me with you!"
Chu Yi originally thought that his wife stopped him because she didn't want him to conflict with his elders. It seems that he was overly worried!
"What I want to say is that if I ask directly like this, if the eldest uncle doesn't admit it or directly refutes it by saying that she was joking with Ah Li, we are juniors. We will only be angry, but we won't be able to take advantage of anything!" She said seriously. Lu Zhu doesn’t want to be a little white rabbit who can only swallow his anger!
"Azhu, is there any way?" Chu Yi suddenly remembered what happened the morning before.
"Yeah, but I need Ali's help!"
－－－－－－
Hearing this "Azhu", Shen Luzhu couldn't help but think of last night, when she asked Chu Yi to help hand over something. Chu Yi asked her why she called him husband in front of the whole family in the morning, and then called him Chu when no one else was there. righteousness 1
"You don't like me calling you Chu Yi?"
"No, it's just..." Let him say it, it's just some men's strange little thoughts that cause trouble.
"I always feel that calling me husband and wife seems weird. How about we think of some other names first? How about I call you husband?" Shen Luzhu pursed his lips and chuckled.
"Husband? What does this mean?"
"Um... I heard that in some places, the youngest child in the family is called son or daughter, so that he feels closer. Um, the husband also means the same. Yes, he is closer than the husband-in-law!"
"Then what should I call you, mother? Or son?" Chu Yi felt that his wife was taking advantage of him!
"Pfft, hahahaha! Still, let's call him by his name!" Why didn't I realize that Chu Yi had the ability to be serious and funny before? Mom, I! Hahahahaha...
Chu Yi thought about how the Shen family called Shen Luzhu before, Luzhu? Maybe he could call her something different: "Then I'll call you Azhu, okay?"
－－－－－－
Shen Luzhu said he wanted to play a game with Chu Li. The name of the game is Thank You, Auntie! Or you can also call me, I am a good honest boy!
After Chu Li warmed up, the three of them came out of the house and happened to meet the uncle's family who were about to go back, and Mr. Chu and Granny Chu who sent them out. Chu Ren's family was going back to town tomorrow. This trip I’m afraid it will be a long time before I come back again!
"Uncle, are you going back? My niece-in-law hasn't thanked her properly yet!" As he said that, Shen Luzhu bowed deeply to Mrs. Wang!
When Wang saw the two of them holding Chu Li and stopping her, she couldn't help but feel guilty. Then she thought that they couldn't do anything to her, so she straightened up and said, "What do you want to thank me for, my nephew-in-law?"
Seeing Wang's confident look, Shen Luzhu felt angrier and the smile on his face grew: "Of course, thank you to the aunt for showing consideration to my nephew-in-law. The aunt knew that my nephew-in-law had many things, so she went out of her way to tell her Ah Li said that he wanted to make use of the house he used to live in for his niece-in-law. How can we not thank my uncle for such a great affection!"
Mrs. Wang frowned and seemed very dissatisfied with what she heard: "When did I say I would make room for you, you bride..."
Shen Luzhu never gave her a chance to finish her sentence, and quickly interrupted: "Auntie, don't be embarrassed, you love the younger generation, we all know that, just like what the aunt said, we are all a family, right A Li? "
As soon as Chu Li received the signal, he immediately spoke as his sister-in-law taught him: "Yes, uncle, didn't you tell me that brother and sister-in-law got married, and they will be a family from now on. Sister-in-law has many things. There will be more to add in the future, so it’s best to vacate the house as soon as possible to save yourself from having to worry about it later!”
Shen Luzhu quietly raised his eyebrows at Chu Yi. Isn't it just a word game? The aunt's criticism was nothing. Shen Luzhu just wanted to tell her what the art of language is. In the same sentence, change the sentence and tone. That’s all, the meanings are completely different!
Thank you to all her Chinese teachers in her previous life!
