"Thank you, Auntie Sun!" Lu Chen looked at Auntie Sun and said with a smile, "Niu Er is doing well! I heard that he worked very hard when he was working!"
"If that's the case, then I'll be relieved!" Aunt Sun felt relieved after hearing that Lu Chen didn't come home to look for Niu Er because he was causing trouble.
"I heard that Niu Er raised two pigs?" Lu Chen looked at Aunt Sun and asked.
"Oh! We have two animals at home, right behind the house! Could it be that the father-in-law wants to eat pork?" Aunt Sun pointed to the direction of the back wall, and then asked Lu Chen with some confusion, "That pork smells fishy." , How can such lowly meat enter the mouth of an adult?"
"Feng Huai, go call Mr. Niu Er and Niu Deshun Niu back!" Lu Chen said directly to Feng Huai.
"Hey!" Feng Huai responded, threw off his long legs, and ran towards the workshop area in a hurry.
"Auntie, the only child in our family is Niu Xingye, why do we call him Niu Er?" Lu Chen looked at Aunt Sun curiously and asked.
"Alas! In fact, there is an older brother before Xingye, but this older brother..." At this point, Aunt Sun's wrinkled face showed a sad expression, and Lu Chen saw this expression It was then that he knew that Niu Er's brother had died young. Lu Chen regretted asking this question. This was undoubtedly adding salt to a mother's wound.
"Auntie, it belongs to me!" Lu Chen stood up and saluted Aunt Sun apologetically, but Lu Chen shocked Aunt Sun and Luo Yuan and his son.
Who is Lu Chen? He is also the Duke of Chang'an County after all. The entire Lujiazhuang belongs to him. Not to mention the houses and land in the Lujiazhuang, even these farmers are Lu Chen's private property. It is not too much to say. If so, Lu Chen could decide life or death for these bankers, and such a character would actually apologize to an old woman from an ordinary banker's family. This completely subverted the understanding of Luo Yuan and his son. Aunt Sun did not expect that her county guild would Apologizing to a slave like her, she was stunned to the spot.
"Sir! I can't do it! I can't do it!" Aunt Sun was stunned for a moment, and then she knelt down on the ground with a bang, tears streaming down her eyes, "Sir, you have a noble status, how can you apologize to a slave like me? , You must not do it! This is a disgrace to me!"
"Auntie, please get up quickly!" Lu Chen stretched out his hands to help Aunt Sun, who was kneeling on the ground, "I said something wrong, so of course I should apologize. If you are wrong, you are wrong! This has nothing to do with your identity! "Lu Chen said to Aunt Sun with a smile.
"Master, Uncle Niu and Niu Er are back!" At this moment, Feng Huai led Niu Deshun and Niu Xingye and his son from outside the yard. As soon as he walked in, Niu Deshun saw Lu Chen helping his mother-in-law and grandson. Mrs. Sun's face was still stained with tears. Niu Deshun suddenly panicked and took Niu Xingye into the house.
A crisp sound of "Pa!" directly attracted everyone's attention, especially Lu Chen, who was helping Aunt Sun to get up. He looked at Niu Deshun and his son with a strange expression. At this time, Niu Deshun was looking at his son angrily. Niu Xingye, on the other hand, covered his cheeks in confusion, not knowing why his father gave him such a big mouth as soon as he walked in.
Lu Chen and others were also stunned by the sudden blow from the old man Niu Deshun.
"You traitor! Why don't you kneel down!" Niu Deshun pointed at Niu Xingye and yelled.
Niu Xingye was obedient. Although he didn't understand why his father suddenly gave him a big blow, he still covered his cheek with one hand and knelt down with a "pop".
"Master! This traitor is right in front of you. I don't know where this traitor has offended my uncle. No matter how you punish him, I will not have any complaints. I only ask you to spare this traitor's life. After all, I The Niu family has only one seedling! I hope you will be merciful!" Niu Deshun pointed angrily at Niu Xingye who was kneeling on the ground and said this, but later on his voice became pleading.
"What are you doing?" Lu Chen was amused by the father and son, especially Niu Xingye's confused and aggrieved expression covering his cheeks, which really made Lu Chen unable to hold back.
"Master, could it be that this traitor has offended you?" Niu Deshun was also confused by Lu Chen's smile. When he came in just now and saw his mother-in-law kneeling on the ground crying with grief, Niu Deshun thought it was Niu Xingye. This boy had caused trouble and made his father-in-law unhappy, so he came directly to his door. But looking at Lu Chen's smile, it seemed that it was not what he thought.
"Niu Xingye did a good job in the workshop and did not make any mistakes. How could I punish him?" Lu Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to help Niu Deshun up on the ground. An old man in his sixties knelt on the ground. In front of him, this was something that a modern man like Lu Chen couldn't accept, "I came here this time to see you and your son for something!"
"Ah?!" When they heard that Lu Chen came to see his father and son for something, both the standing Niu Deshun and the kneeling Niu Xingye were stunned. They knew what they were capable of, and they really didn't know how they could help. My father-in-law.
"I heard that you have two pigs at home. I came here specifically to see those two pigs!" Lu Chen said with a smile the reason for his visit.
"Oh! The father-in-law is here for those two pigs! If the father-in-law likes it, just take them away!" When Niu Deshun heard that Lu Chen came here for the two pigs raised by his son, he said simply, but Niu Deshun After saying this, Niu Xingye had a somewhat unwilling look on his face, but he didn't say anything.
"Did you raise the pig or Niu Xingye?" Lu Chen looked at Niu Deshun and asked.
"They were raised by the old man's treacherous son. People are almost out of food, and they raise these two things!" Niu Deshun glared at Niu Xingye who was kneeling on the ground.
"Your family still doesn't have enough to eat?" Lu Chen looked at Niu Deshun and asked with a serious look on his face. If Niu Deshun's family still doesn't have enough to eat at this time, then Lu Chen would have to talk to Du Yanliang about this matter.
"Oh, sir, the old man was talking about the past. Now every household can have food, and the clothes are better than before!" Niu Deshun said while showing the remaining steamed cakes in his pot and his clothes. , although the clothes are still made of coarse cloth, there are not many patches, which shows that the family has enough food.
"My father-in-law, don't listen to this old guy's nonsense. Ever since my father-in-law opened this workshop, our family has not had to worry about food. Occasionally there is a balance at the end of the month. All this immortality has been saved by this bastard of ours. Leave it to us." Let's call him a mother-in-law! We can also continue the incense of Lao Niu's family!" At this moment, Aunt Sun, who had been standing aside, took out more than a dozen copper coins from her arms, showed them to Lu Chen, and at the same time cut them out. One look at Niu Deshun, and he was obviously blaming the old guy for not being able to speak.
"That's not bad!" Seeing the copper coins in Aunt Sun's hand, Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction. Seeing the copper coins in Aunt Sun's hand, Lu Chen knew that his actions during this period were somewhat fruitful, although the wages were all It was settled with the one hundred coins sent by Du Fuwei, but Lu Chen still felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Take me to see those two pigs!" After Lu Chen said that, he walked directly out of the house and walked towards the courtyard gate.
"Don't get up yet!" Seeing that Lu Chen was almost at the courtyard gate, Niu Deshun kicked Niu Xingye who was still kneeling on the ground. Niu Xingye quickly got up, patted his clothes, and caught up with Lu Chen.
"Where is the pigsty?" Lu Chen asked with a smile as he looked at the honest man Niu Xingye who caught up with him.
"It's behind the house! Master, I'll take you there!" Niu Xingye hurriedly bowed and led the way.
"Niu Er, don't you feel resentful after being slapped by your Aye?" Lu Chen suddenly felt that Niu Xingye, a simple and honest man, was quite interesting, and couldn't help but asked with a smile behind Niu Xingye.
"How could that happen?" Niu Xingye smiled honestly, "That's me, Aye. Don't say slap me, just beat me up. That's what I should do. Where's the resentment?"
"Not bad!" Lu Chen nodded. In fact, Lu Chen envied Niu Xingye. Although he was slapped by his father Niu Deshun, he was also protecting Niu Xingye. The word "parent" was far away from Lu Chen. He He doesn’t know who his parents are, because he was abandoned and raised in an orphanage. He later joined the army. The only person who can make him feel this kind of affection similar to that of his father is the man who took him there. He is an old general. I wonder how his health is now? When he took the initiative to garrison the base, the old general was not in good health.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.
"Niu Er!" Lu Chen called Niu Xingye.
"Hey! Sir, please give me your orders!" Niu Xingye heard Lu Chen calling him and hurriedly stopped.
"I must honor you Aye and your mother. Don't look at my identity here, but I envy you very much. I still don't know who my parents are!" Lu Chen said with some emotion, "Don't You want a son who wants to support you, but you don’t want to be loved by him, do you understand?”
"Understood!" Although Niu Xingye didn't understand what "a son wants to support but refuses to be loved", he understood Lu Chen's instructions to be filial to his parents.
"Just understand!" Lu Chen nodded.
"Master, that's the pigsty I built myself!" After walking a few more steps, I saw the half-man-high pen wall made of stones and loess in front of me, and I could hear the squealing of the pigs inside from a distance.
Lu Chen turned around and measured. The pigsty was about a few dozen steps away from the back wall of Lao Niu's house.
Lu Chen followed Niu Xingye's footsteps and came to the front of the pig pen. Through the wall of the pen, Lu Chen looked into the pig pen and saw two black pigs running back and forth in the pig pen.
"Today is the 74th birthday of the motherland. The author is here to wish everyone a happy National Day!"
