After Lu Yuan woke up in the morning, he checked the time.
bad.
It's past nine o'clock.
He quickly got up, without even bothering to wash his face or brush his teeth, Lu Yuan rode towards the east gate of the imperial city.
Lu Yuan didn't fall asleep until around four o'clock in the morning, and he fell asleep accidentally.
After running all the way to the east gate, I saw the previous shopkeeper and Su Changliang already standing in the cold wind waiting.
After arriving, looking at the shopkeeper with a flattering smile, Lu Yuan threw a silver dollar over without saying anything.
I came more than half an hour late, but I couldn't let others wait in vain.
"You haven't had breakfast, so my brother-in-law will take you to have a meal."
Lu Yuan looked at the somewhat nervous and shy Su Changliang and smiled.
Su Changliang waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"Brother-in-law, no need, my mother brought me pancakes last night."
Lu Yuan waved his hand and said:
"It's okay, have something hot to eat. Your brother-in-law and I haven't eaten either. Let's go eat some fried dough sticks and make do with it."
When he heard that his brother-in-law hadn't eaten either, Su Changliang didn't say much and nodded to follow.
The previous shopkeeper watched Lu Yuan and Su Changliang leave with envy on his face.
Hey, this owner is really rich.
When they arrived at the breakfast shop, they were about to close their stall. Lu Yuan immediately said:
"Shopkeeper, don't rush to collect it. Here are ten fried dough sticks, two drawers of steamed dumplings with fresh meat, two bowls of tofu puffs, and one bowl with spicy..."
Speaking of this, Lu Yuan looked at Su Changliang who was a little confused and said:
"Can you eat spicy food?"
Su Changliang nodded repeatedly and said:
"able."
Immediately, Lu Yuan looked at the shopkeeper and said loudly:
“Spice both bowls.”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately said:
"Yes, sir, I'll be here soon."
Su Changliang was a little confused. He had eaten too much this morning, and these things didn't sound cheap.
Lu Yuan poured water for himself from the teapot on the table, while looking at Su Changliang and saying:
"You go to your brother-in-law's place first during the day. I will take you to Uncle Wang at six o'clock in the evening. He works the day shift today and will come back in the evening."
Su Changliang nodded repeatedly, quickly grabbed the kettle from Lu Yuan's hand and poured hot water for Lu Yuan. Anyway, he would do whatever his brother-in-law said.
After breakfast, Lu Yuan led Su Changliang home. He told Su Changliang about the situation in the courtyard, so as not to expose himself.
Su Changliang was also smart, but he wasn't very good at talking. He could guess why his brother-in-law was behaving like this.
After returning home, people in the courtyard were a little curious about such a strange young man brought back by Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan gave a brief introduction and didn't say much. He was sleepy and had to go back to sleep.
Back in the backyard, Lu Yuan looked at the barrel, and then suddenly said:
"Chang Liang, do you know how to make a fence or a cage? The chickens won't be able to eat for a while. It's best to surround them and raise them first, so they can lay eggs."
Su Changliang was startled, then he quickly smiled and said:
"Brother-in-law, I know how to do it. I did all the fences at home."
Listening to Su Changliang's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but grin. This brother-in-law is as hard-working and capable as his wife.
Immediately after Lu Yuan led Su Changliang into the house, he also pointed to a corner and said:
“There are tools out there, see for yourself what you can use.
Brother-in-law, I'm taking a nap. I didn't sleep well last night.
At noon, there is plenty of food in the kitchen. Just make some for yourself and leave your brother-in-law alone. "
Su Changliang nodded repeatedly.
Afterwards, Lu Yuan took off his clothes and went to bed, while Su Changliang put down his things and went out to clean the fence.
People in the courtyard were quite curious about Su Changliang, so they came over to ask.
However, Su Changliang didn't want to say anything to these people. When he came back, his brother-in-law said that no one in this courtyard was good.
Everyone saw that Su Changliang was not very talkative, so they didn't ask any questions.
Everyone thought that Su Changliang should have come to the city to join relatives and work in the city. This kind of thing was not uncommon in the imperial city.
But what a pity, your brother-in-law is very poor and only eats your food!
Moreover, this heart is very bad!
How could your brother-in-law be here? You were sleeping soundly there and let your brother-in-law come out to work?
This Lu Yuan is really a bastard. It's not enough to use Su Liyan, but he also uses his younger brother.
The Su family was really ruined by this wicked thing!
Everyone clicked their tongues and shook their heads.
At noon, Lu Yuan was still sleeping.
Su Changliang came to the kitchen but did not cook, because as soon as Su Changliang opened the lid of the pot, he found that there was warm rice inside.
My sister must have left it for her brother-in-law in the morning. My brother-in-law didn't eat it and it was all cold.
Su Changliang was not arrogant, so he grabbed the cold rice and ate it.
Even if it's cold rice, it's still white flour steamed buns and meat.
While eating Su Changliang, he also thought that his sister was enjoying happiness every day when she married her brother-in-law.
It's true that my sister doesn't feel sorry for her brother-in-law at all. How come she doesn't know how to let her brother-in-law rest early?
My brother-in-law is so tired that he can't even sleep until now.
She must have been tired from doing heavy work last night. My sister really only cares about enjoying herself, but she doesn't know how to take care of her brother-in-law.
Su Changliang took another bite of the white-flour steamed bun, thinking to himself that when his sister came back in the evening, he would have to tell her, so as not to treat his brother-in-law badly.
…
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Su Liyan came back. She heard her man say last night that her brother would come today.
Looking at the backyard this time, Su Liyan saw her brother squatting in the corner of his house, feeding chickens.
What’s in your hand is...a crab?
This crab is red, which is what my man eats.
Seeing this, Su Liyan said anxiously:
"Oh, why did you feed this crab? Your brother-in-law wants to keep it for wine and food."
Su Liyan didn't know why, but her man especially liked eating crabs and could eat more than a dozen in one meal.
Su Changliang is a little confused, huh? ?
Does your brother-in-law eat this chicken feed?
this?
For a moment, Su Changliang frowned slightly and said:
"Sister, how could you do this to your brother-in-law? You eat white noodles at home every day and let my brother-in-law eat crabs?"
Su Liyan: "???"
Su Liyan was not angry when she came back to her senses. She just looked at Su Changliang with a funny look on her face and said:
"Why, now that you are on official duty, do you have to take care of your sister?"
But Su Changliang raised his eyebrows and said:
"I just can't stand how you treat my brother-in-law like this. Why don't you feel sorry for my brother-in-law? You see, my brother-in-law is tired and has slept all day.
Are you not doing any work at home and letting my brother-in-law do it?
If you want to do this, I will go home and tell my mother, and I will let her deal with you. "
Su Liyan, who originally wanted to say something, couldn't help but blush after hearing these words.
The next second, he stared at Su Changliang and said:
"If you dare to go home and tell our mother, I will beat you!"
How can a sister not beat up her brother?
Su Changliang suddenly shrank his neck and became frightened.
But his mouth was still tough, and he said cowardly and fiercely:
"Then you have to take good care of my brother-in-law from now on."
Su Liyan was too lazy to talk to Su Changliang and said immediately:
"Is your brother-in-law awake?"
Su Changliang nodded and said:
"I just woke up and I'm getting dressed inside."
Su Liyan nodded and immediately walked towards the house. When she reached the door, Su Liyan looked back at Su Changliang and couldn't help but say:
"What do you know about adult matters, you little brat? If you dare to be as old as me, I will ask your brother-in-law to take care of you!"
