Blessed woman in the farm gate

Chapter 106

Li Miaoyue hadn't realized what her father meant before.

I still saw my sister's playful eyes, and only now did I understand the meaning.

She widened her eyes slightly, in disbelief.

"Father, what do you mean, let him... Let the nerd of the Lu family be my foster husband?"

When it came to Tong Yangfu, Li Miaoyue paused for a moment before she managed to finish the sentence. These words seemed to burn her mouth.

Li Shu really thinks this is a good idea, so there is no psychological burden: "Miaoya, when you turn 11, you will be [-] years old. You are impatient, and the kid from the Lu family is reserved, and is the same age as you." , is also very obsessed with reading. This time their family has changed, and he is the only one left in the family. It may be difficult to continue studying. Our family will pick him up and support him to continue studying. Even if there is no love in the future, we will be grateful He'll be nice to you too."

Li Miaoyue only felt that her mind was in a mess, she could understand every word her father said, and it felt like a mess when they were put together.

Of course she knew what Tong Yangfu meant.

She also knew that her father was seriously planning for her.

But such a big news, it was enough for Li Miaoyue to digest it for a while.

Li Yayue said: "Father, you haven't told the Lu family what you think?"

Li Shu shook his head: "Of course not yet. Although I am optimistic about the Lu family boy, I am not confused yet. Shouldn't I ask Miao Ya first?"

Only then did Li Yayue nod her head: "Miao Ya only knows about your plan, give her some time to think it through."

That night, the three sisters who already had their own rooms were lying on the same bed. Fortunately, the woodland old house was wide enough for the three sisters to sleep together without being too crowded.

Li Fuyue was small in stature, so she huddled between the two older sisters, and poked out her eyes to look at Li Miaoyue curiously: "Second sister, are you unhappy?"

Li Miaoyue was still a little dazed at this moment. Hearing this, she asked herself some questions, and then shook her head: "I'm not unhappy, it's just that I don't understand the situation. I thought this kind of thing was far away from me." .”

Lu Yuan's appearance appeared again in her mind, which was a little blurry.

The two are the same age, and if they were other children in the village, they might be playmates who grew up, but both of them are different from ordinary children. She was pressured by Zheng and Liu to help the family. , who has no time to play, and the other is a typical nerd who is locked in the house all day and rarely goes out.

If we met once or twice, Lu Yuan must have no memory of it, otherwise he wouldn't have called her one by one in the woods that day.

Later, Lu Yuan's father died, and he married his mother to the town, so he saw him even less often.

Speaking of which, Li Miaoyue didn't have any expectations for her future husband before. She just felt that such a person did not exist in the world, and she never thought about what kind of person she would marry. Tonight, her father mentioned Lu Yuan. Regarding this matter, Li Miaoyue thought about what kind of husband she wanted in her head.

She doesn't care about appearance, as long as it's not unsightly, Li Miaoyue thinks that she doesn't like that kind of overly strong man.

Family wealth is also secondary, anyway, she is also confident that she can make money, not to mention how rich she can be, in short, she can't be poor.

Character is very important, you have to be nice to her and her family, and you can't be like the kind of idlers in the village who only know that they dislike their wives and can't give birth to a son.

She has also started to learn to read now, so the other party should also be able to recognize a few words, right?

Thinking about it this way, Lu Yuan's appearance became more and more clear in her head, which surprised Li Miaoyue. It seemed that Lu Yuan really fit her.

Li Miaoyue rubbed her hands in a cold sweat, and felt that this was really unbelievable. Right now, her sisters had already fallen into a deep sleep. Li Miaoyue put her thoughts behind her and forced herself to fall asleep.

Li Shu promised not to talk to Lu Yuan about this matter until Li Miaoyue gave an answer, so Li Miaoyue was relieved. When Li Shu went to the town, there were only three sisters in the family. Li Miaoyue decided to go to Lu's house to have a look.

Before, she didn't know that her father had such plans for the Lu family, and she only thought that she went to an ordinary village to care for others. At most, she just had sympathy in her heart, and she had no other thoughts. Now she will know what her father's plan is. It wasn't until Li Miaoyue realized that the two of them had grown so old that they had only met a dozen or so times, and even fewer had spoken a few words, which could be counted on one hand.

The next day, Li Miaoyue still decided to visit Lu's house.

At this time, Yu's stomach was already heavy, so Li Yayue stayed at home to take care of her. Li Miaoyue took Li Fuyue to carry some things and walked to Lu's house together.The woodland is to the west of the village, and the Lu family is to the east of the village. It is not a short distance to walk all the way there.

When they arrived at the old house of the Lu family, both of them sweated a little on their foreheads. The weather had turned cold now. Li Miaoyue wiped off the sweat for Li Fuyue and herself before looking up at the old house of the Lu family. .

When I came to Diaoxuan before, there were many people in the village, and it was bustling up and down, so people didn't notice the appearance of this house.

The surrounding area was quiet now, and Li Miaoyue realized that the houses of the Lu family had been dilapidated like this. I still remember that when Mrs. Lu was there, the Lu family was very popular in the village by virtue of the large house. Decent, but what Li Miaoyue and Li Fuyue see now is an old house that cannot be covered by blue tiles.

Even after going to the town with the remarried mother-in-law, few people live in this house, but it is too exaggerated to be so ruined?

Li Fuyue took a look at the missing tiles on the eaves. There was already a bit of green on the edge, which was moss accumulated for a long time. It could be seen that the tiles had been missing for a long time. People's tiles were eaten by black people, but it doesn't look like it now. If it was really eaten by the villagers, shouldn't it have been spread in the village?

The door of the Lu family's courtyard was not closed. The two sisters walked into the courtyard and found that there was no one in the house, so they backed out and stood at the courtyard door waiting.

"Why is there no one? He went out without closing the door, Fu Bao, do you think this nerd is short-hearted?" After a while, Li Miaoyue didn't see anyone coming. Take the girl home.

It was also at this time that Li Fuyue saw a figure in the distance walking towards the Lu family with difficulty, and stretched out her finger to remind Li Miaoyue, "Second sister, Brother Lu is back."

Li Miaoyue looked over in response to the sound, and saw that the Lu family's bookworm was carrying a shoulder pole on his thin shoulders, and he was carrying the two buckets on his shoulders with great difficulty. With the swaying movements, the clear water in the buckets spilled a little. On the ground, two conspicuous water marks formed behind Lu Yuan.

Li Miaoyue didn't want to talk to him at first, but seeing that Lu Yuan looked really struggling, she couldn't help frowning, and helped him lift a bucket reluctantly.

The strength on his shoulders suddenly lightened, and Lu Yuan was shocked at first, and then he saw Li Miaoyue: "Miss Miaoyue? Thank you very much."

Seeing that his forehead was covered with sweat, Li Miaoyue couldn't help but sneer and sneer: "Why don't you just carry water? Why is it so laborious? I can even lift it. Besides, where did you carry it? Swinging all the way back, I can't lift it." There's only half a bucket left."

Lu Yuan was not annoyed, and called the two sisters into the yard. Lu Yuan poured the water he brought back into the water tank in the kitchen. Li Miaoyue followed behind and looked around. The water tank was almost full, and the clear water Swaying and rippling in the tank.

After pouring the water and putting the wooden bucket away, Lu Yuan straightened up and thanked: "Thank you, sister Miao Yue, and thank you for coming to see me."

Li Miaoyue thought of her father's plan again, and felt extremely awkward for a moment, she turned her face uncomfortably: "Who came to see you on purpose, don't get me wrong, and, why do you call me sister? Who is your sister?"

Li Fuyue stood aside and ate melons, laughing secretly in her heart that her second sister was originally a proud girl.

Lu Yuan was stunned: "But I am a few months older than sister Miao Yue, so naturally I should be called sister."

Lu Yuan's logic is very simple. The fathers of the two used to have some friendship, and the uncle of the Li family also contributed a lot to her mother's funeral. Naturally, the relationship between the two families is different from others.And he was a few months older than sister Miao Yue, not to mention a few months, even if he was a day older, he was still older.

Seeing Lu Yuanmu's stupefied look, Li Miaoyue gave up on this topic, so she changed the subject: "Why don't you close the door when you go out? Are you really afraid of attracting thieves?"

Lu Yuan was very calm: "The house is empty, there is really nothing that can be easily stolen."

Li Miaoyue didn't believe it, she just thought he was being modest, and couldn't help laughing: "Why don't you have anything to steal? Didn't Mr. Lu leave you a lot of books? Those in the village who know a little People are very envious of your wealth."

Lu Yuan's expression was a bit gloomy, he forced a smile, and greeted the two sisters Li Miaoyue to go to a closed room. The two sisters looked at each other with some doubts, but they still followed.

The closed room was pushed open by Lu Yuan, and an old dusty feeling came to him.

Li Fuyue couldn't help covering her mouth and nose, and frowned slightly.

The room was empty, except for some remaining ashes, and there were traces of being burned on the ground. Li Miaoyue also smelled the smell of something burnt. She frowned and looked at Lu Yuan: "Hey, nerd, what's this?"

After she asked this question, she caught sight of some scraps of paper left over from the corner of her eye, and there were still traces of black ash on the edge. Li Miaoyue's eyes widened suddenly: "Lu Yuan, your book." Could it all be burned? ?

Lu Yuan just nodded with a wry smile.

Li Miaoyue's mood was very complicated. Li Fuyue was young and didn't know much about the affairs of the village, but she knew how much the bookworm of the Lu family loved reading and how much he treasured his books.

It must not have been burned by Lu Yuan himself.

Li Miaoyue frowned: "Who burned it?"

The traces of the fire are so concentrated, it is naturally impossible to accidentally burn it.

At this moment, a hint of hatred finally appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes: "Yang Daniu."

Yang Daniu was Lu Yuan's former stepfather, but now it has nothing to do with him. After Lu Yuan's mother fell ill, Yang Daniu directly asked someone to write a divorce letter, and immediately got rid of the relationship.

At Li Miaoyue's request, Lu Yuan will talk about the future.

It turned out that Yang Daniu not only treated Lu Yuan's mother and son harshly, but also tried every means to take the Lu family's property as his own, and withheld the money that Master Lu left for Lu Yuan to study. The reason why Lu Yuan's mother was seriously ill was that He was treated harshly, and the second reason was that he felt sorry for his son, and was purely angered by Yang Daniu's shameless behavior.

Yang Daniu is a butcher without long-term vision, he only sees ready-made money in his eyes, and he really hates Lu Yuan's study. In his opinion, his stepson is more capable than his own son, doesn't it mean that he is not good at being a father?Therefore, it is even more difficult to see Lu Yuanhao.

Lu Yuan knew that Yang Daniu didn't want him to read, so he always hid it secretly and didn't let Yang Daniu see it, but except for his own mother, everyone in the Yang family didn't have the same heart with him, and he wished to see Lu Yuan suffer bad luck.

Therefore, reporting Lu Yuan's studies has become one of the small games of the other children in the Yang family. Every time Lu Yuan is caught, he is beaten severely by Yang Daniu, and each time is more severe, and he is not given food. It was Lu Yuan's mother who saved her own small rations, so Lu Yuan didn't starve to death.

Lu Yuan was stubborn and unconvinced. Every time he was beaten by Yang Daniu, it made Lu Yuan more determined to study. The collection of books was gathered together, regardless of Lu Yuan's mother and son's begging for mercy, they burned all the books with a torch, and there was not a single word left.

After this incident, Lu's mother was full of regrets, and her health became worse and worse.

Lu Principle completely hated Yang Daniu's family.

As for Yang Daniu, as I said before, this person is extremely short-sighted and only sees the immediate benefits. When Yang Daniu burned down the Lu family's collection of books, before he could feel complacent, he realized that these things looked old. Xixi worthless books, in the bookstore, the cheapest book can be exchanged for [-] to [-] yuan, Yang Daniu felt his eyes dim, he burned more than one or two books, it was a whole bookshelf!

Annoyed and angry, Yang Daniu didn't want to think about how much money he lost because of his stupidity. In order to divert his regret, Yang Daniu transferred all his anger to Lu Yuan's mother and son. He divorced his wife hastily, and drove Lu Yuan's mother and son back to Lu's house that day.

Li Miaoyue and Li Fuyue were silent after hearing the reason for this incident, and they were speechless in their hearts towards a shameless person like Yang Daniu, while Li Miaoyue felt a little more sympathetic hatred, she was cold He snorted: "I'm afraid the matter is not over yet, how could such a shameless person let you go so easily."

Lu Yuan nodded, and looked back at the bucket: "Sister Miaoyue asked me where I got the water, but it was actually at the mouth of the well in the next village."

Li Miaoyue opened her eyes wide, in disbelief: "The village next door? Is it that far away?" Although Lu's family is in the east of the village, it is close to the entrance of the village, but it is definitely a long way to go to the well mouth of the next village to collect water. road.

For peasant households, water wells are very precious. It takes a lot of time and effort to dig a well, and it is even more precious for Liufeng Village, a small mountain village without a river. There is only one well in the village. The public well was built by a wealthy family in the village in the early years. Later, this family moved to the city. It was easy to move the family property, but they were reluctant to part with this valuable well water.
