Chapter 43
Lu Che's tossing is usually endless, let alone for a week, when he was finished, Jiang Yao was so tired that he couldn't lift his eyelids, so he slept directly until the next day.
When she opened her eyes, Lu Che had already gone to the county town to buy meat and improve the meals for the big guys.
"I bought a pound of lean meat today. You can stew more soup. In addition to drinking it for the two little guys, you and milk also drink some to nourish your body." Lu Che whispered, "I'm going to work, you can sleep a little longer. "
Jiang Yao was still in a daze. When she heard him say he was leaving, she was taken aback and pulled him and asked, "You haven't told me what the good news was last night."
"I thought you forgot." Lu Che smiled.
"It's impossible for me to forget, I'm afraid that someone has no good news and deliberately lied to me." Jiang Yao hummed.
When Lu Che listened, the smile on the corner of his mouth became ruffian, "Since you know that I lied to you, and you are fooled, does it mean that you also want to exercise with me, my daughter-in-law."
Jiang Yao, who was exposed, raised her fists in anger to beat her, Lu Che grabbed her little inoffensive hand and wrapped it in his hand, "I didn't lie to you, I've been promoted to team leader, starting next month, Wages and subsidies have gone up.”
"Really? That's great!" Jiang Yao sat up from the bed happily, and praised without hesitation: "Dad, you are amazing."
"It's alright, it's been almost a year since I joined the factory. If I don't make some achievements, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to climb up in the future." Lu Che said.
Jiang Yao: "You were promoted in less than a year. You are already great. I don't think there are many in your factory."
"Only me."
"..." Jiang Yao seriously suspected that someone was praising himself in cadence.
"Daughter-in-law." Lu Che suddenly took her into his arms, "I will continue to work hard to get to the next level. When Chang Chang and Xiao Lu are older, I will see if I can ask someone to arrange a meeting for you in the county seat. a job.”
"Arrange a job for me? Is this possible?" Jiang Yao opened her eyes wide, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Of course it's possible, this is a relational society, and things are easy to handle." Lu Che said, "I always knew that you are very smart, and you shouldn't stay in the family because of your children. You can have your own piece of it. world."
Most people in this era believe that women are happiest when they can care for their husbands and children at home without worrying about food and clothing. She has obviously reached this state now, so many women in the production team are envious and jealous of her. But the real thoughts in her heart are not like this, others don't understand, but her man understands her, that's enough.
"Well." Jiang Yao rubbed in his arms and said, "You don't have to worry, let's take it step by step."
A few days later, it was the day that Zhang Dong and Zhu Xia got married.
Zhang Dong is a worker in a mechanical and electrical power plant, and Aunt Tian's son and daughter-in-law also want to have a good relationship with him, so before Zhu Xia can figure out how to speak, they have already offered to let her marry at Tian's house.
Marrying from the Tian family is equivalent to about half of the Tian family. If you want anything from them in the future, you can open your mouth.
Of course, Zhu Xia knew what they had in mind, but she pretended not to know. After all, Aunt Tian and Uncle Tian really took good care of her. If she was successful in the future, of course she would be able to help their second elder.
Zhang Dong brought more than a dozen workers from the mechanical and electrical power plant to pick up the relatives, all of them riding bicycles.
Zhu Xia's sister group was much thinner, and there were only four female educated youths who jumped in line in Qingyuan, including Jiang Yao, who was married.
Lu Che was not interested in this kind of trouble to pick up relatives, but Jiang Yao was going to be a sister, so he could only follow him to be a brother.
Said to be brothers, but turned out to be "sisters". Because the co-workers were a group of "wolves", he was worried about Jiang Yao and stayed by her side all the time, so that his camp changed and he became the bride's side.
The co-workers "shush" Lu Che, saying that he was afraid of his own wife, that he was afraid of his daughter-in-law, and all kinds of ridicule came out, but he just didn't want to leave. So in the end, the two of them were pushed out of Tian's house directly by the workers, let them stay where they are cool, and don't hinder them from making trouble.
Jiang Yao wanted to watch the fun, but felt it was a pity, but Lu Che was happy to relax. It happened that there was a small pond outside Tian's house, so he took her and walked around the pond.
"Why don't we go in and have a look? I think it's very interesting." Jiang Yao's voice was delicate, and she acted like a spoiled child without knowing it.
"What's so beautiful, it's not as beautiful as this pond." Lu Che pointed to the pond and said, "Look at the water, it's very calm and beautiful."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a "dong" sound, and a small pebble jumped three times on the lake and submerged in the water, causing one wave after another.
The pebble obviously didn't fall from the sky. They looked in the direction the pebble came from and saw Zhao Pengfei standing on the shore.
As they saw him, he saw them too.
There was a short distance between them, and the straight-line distance did not exceed 30 meters.
Holding her man and meeting the man she was madly infatuated with, Jiang Yao felt that there was no need to join her, even if she was not guilty.
"Let's go back." Jiang Yao took Lu Che's hand and whispered.
"Why are you going back? Let's continue walking." Lu Che had no plans to retreat at all, and dragged Jiang Yao forward.
Originally they were close, but they didn't take a few steps to reach Zhao Pengfei, who was still performing the small stone triple jump.
Jiang Yao didn't squint and thought it would be good to pass Zhao Pengfei. Unexpectedly, Lu Che, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said, "Your physique is really not good. If you walk a few steps, you will say that you are tired. Forget it, I will carry you."
"..." When did she say tired? Before Jiang Yao could understand his mindless words, he had already let go of her hand, and then trotted in front of her, "Come up."
No matter how sluggish the response was, she knew why he was so sudden. He just wanted to show off his power in front of his old rival. At the critical moment, Big Brother Lu was really naive, but she couldn't pierce him in front of Zhao Pengfei, so she had to raise her hand and climb on his shoulders. The next moment, she was easily carried by him.
Zhao Pengfei wasn't stupid either. Of course he knew Lu Che's intentions. He thought they were transparent and continued to play with the pebbles without looking sideways.
It's just that when they passed him, he couldn't hold back and stopped Jiang Yao, "That...have you finished picking up the kiss? Jiajia...have you come out?"
"It should be... it's not over yet." Jiang Yao understood, and it was estimated that Zhao Pengfei and Du Yuejia were in trouble again.
Recalling that when the five women huddled together in Zhu Xia's room just now, Du Yuejia didn't speak much. She thought she didn't know them well, so she didn't talk much. Now, it seemed she was in a bad mood.
"Why don't you go find her, it doesn't matter." Jiang Yao added.
"I'm still not going." Zhao Pengfei said, "She will follow her for a wedding later, please take care of her."
"..." Jiang Yao didn't plan to take care of other people's emotional affairs, let alone Zhao Pengfei, who was a little embarrassed. She didn't persuade him any more, just "um" and let Lu Che continue to move forward.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm a little curious, why are you able to get along so peacefully with Zhao Pengfei?" Lu Che asked after walking away.
"Why can't I get along well with him?" Jiang Yao joked: "Should I be like you, deliberately showing affection in front of him?"
"..." The boss Lu who was exposed was at a loss for words. He couldn't think of how to refute it for a long time, so he broke the jar and said: "I just don't like him, and I just want to win him in front of him. I know you want to call me naive again. "You don't need to tell me, I said it myself."
Jiang Yao listened and laughed outright, "Childhood is naive, but I'm a little happy, you are like this, just because you love me, right?" She hugged him two more points, "I can follow him calmly. Getting along is because I don't care about him anymore, I just treat him as an ordinary friend. Shouldn't the relationship between ordinary friends be like this?"
"You're right." Lu Che didn't feel ashamed now, but instead became proud. He was not as hostile to Zhao Pengfei as he was before, and even "sympathized" with him, "He treated Du Yuejia like this. It's quite pitiful that I haven't married someone for a long time."
"..." Jiang Yao was dumbfounded by his overflowing sympathy, and said, "Contrary to what you think, it's not that Zhao Pengfei doesn't want to marry, or that he can't marry now."
"Didn't they all say that his family is in good condition? Du Yuejia also likes him, can he still marry?"
The stubborn Big Brother Lu didn't understand, so Jiang Yao had to explain it to him in detail.
After listening to the love-hate relationship between Zhao Pengfei and Du Yuejia, Lu Che's attitude changed 180 degrees, "Is Zhao Pengfei still a man? He has been delaying Du Yuejia by dragging others not to marry. Daughter-in-law, fortunately you came here. Rein in your horse, or you will be dragged into an old girl by him in minutes."
Jiang Yao actually wanted to say that if Zhao Pengfei's object was changed to her, not only would his parents not object, they would urge them to get married every day. However, she should not say such words that hurt the big brother's heart.
"Yes, otherwise, where can I find a man as good as you." Jiang Yao followed his words and gave him a rainbow fart.
"Daughter-in-law, look at what you said, just say it in front of me. If you say it outside, you will be laughed at by others."
Jiang Yao saw that the corners of his raised lips couldn't be pressed down, and she didn't bother to see through him.
After they finished this circle, they went straight back to Tian's house.
At this time, it was almost a trouble to pick up the relatives. Zhang Dong hugged the beauty back and was ready to carry Zhu Xia back to the county.
Wen Qian, Zhou Qiong, and Du Yuejia followed on their brothers' bicycles. Lu Che and Jiang Yao first went back to Lu's house, picked up the brothers and sisters, and then rode their bicycles to Zhang Dong's house.
Zhang Dong and Zhu Xia's wedding ceremony was held at noon. When Jiang Yao and his family of four arrived late, Zhang's house was already crowded with people.
Mother Zhang heard from Zhang Dong before that a co-worker had given birth to a pair of twins, and she had been thinking of letting the twins roll into a new bed, hoping that the newlyweds would have good luck and have twins as well.
She waited for a long time, and finally saw a couple appear with two children, a boy and a girl, she hurriedly walked over and asked, "You're Zhang Dong's workmate Lu Che who gave birth to a twin, oh yo, these two little ones. The elf looks too good-looking, hurry up and roll your uncle and aunt's new bed, okay?"
"Auntie, this is no problem." Jiang Yao heard Zhu Xia talk about it two days ago.
"Then trouble you, hurry in."
Mother Zhang cheerfully opened the way for them and walked straight to the new house.
I have to say that although the Zhang family lives in the county seat, their home is not big, and several sons are crowded into this house after they get married, which looks very awkward.
Lu Che was afraid that the brothers and sisters would be crowded, so he hugged Chang Chang and walked inside next to Jiang Yao. He was tall and burly, and all of a sudden he protected Niangsan in his arms.
It's hard to get to the new house, and this room is too small to squeeze in.
A big bed, a wardrobe, a dresser, these three things have made the door almost impossible to close.
Zhang Dong and Zhu Xia were sitting on the big bed, and a woman was chanting some kind words next to her. When she saw the twins, she immediately laughed until her eyes were full of frowns. ."
The bed was sprinkled with food with good meanings such as peanuts and red dates. The brothers and sisters were also curious when they saw it, so they reached out to grab it.
Lu Che and Jiang Yao put them on the big bed, worried that they would grab food and put them in their mouths.
Everyone watched the "performance" of the brothers and sisters, and they all laughed from ear to ear. Mother Zhang also pulled out two red envelopes from her pocket and gave them one for each.
When they saw the red color, they liked it very much. They reached out and grabbed it. Jiang Yao quickly stopped it, "Auntie, no need."
"This is a must." Mother Zhang put the red envelope into the hands of Changchang and Xiaolu, and said, "A small red envelope, the most important thing is that it has a good meaning, you must accept it."
"Then thank you auntie." Jiang Yao did not delay any longer, and took the child out after accepting the red envelope.
When they came out, the banquet was about to start.
It is said that the youngest son is favored. As the youngest son of the Zhang family, Zhang Dong is indeed the most favored by Zhang's father and Zhang's mother. It can be seen from the pomp of today's banquet.
The Zhang family was small, and the banquet was placed directly in the alley outside, lined up in a row, there were probably more than a dozen tables.
The dozen or so tables are few compared to the world weddings of later generations, but it is already a grand wedding banquet these days.
It was the first time that Changchang and Xiaolu saw so many people and so much excitement. They were very excited, their little mouths kept talking, and their little hands were waving.
At this time, many guests were already seated, chatting while nibbling on melon seeds.
Jiang Yao originally planned to have a table with Zhou Qiong and the others, but Zhang Dong's "brothers" kept chasing the three of them, so that their table was already "full of people".
She and Lu Che stretched their necks to find a seat, when she heard someone shout, "Lu Che, there is a seat here."
They followed the sound and forgot about the past, only to see that there were not many people at the table, just two middle-aged men, a middle-aged woman, and a young woman.
"Is this the leader of your factory?" Jiang Yao asked Lu Che in a low voice after seeing their momentum.
"Yes, the one in black is Director Wu, and the one next to him is his daughter-in-law Director Li, who is in charge of personnel in our factory. The one in green is Director Hu, who recommended me to work in the mechanical and electrical plant." Lu Che briefly introduced .
Jiang Yao nodded and said, "Let's go over."
"Okay." Lu Che replied, "Don't be nervous."
Jiang Yao smiled, "Why am I so nervous? That's your leader, not mine, so don't be nervous."
Lu Che: "..."
The family of four walked to the table, Lu Che first introduced Jiang Yao to the leader, Jiang Yao politely called someone, and then sat down.
"This is the twins. They look really good." Director Li saw that the two brothers and sisters were pink and tender, and their big eyes were as beautiful as black grapes.
"Of course you can." Jiang Yao handed the deer to Director Li. Director Wu looked greedy and said to Lu Che, "Brother, let me hug him."
Director Wu and Director Li are in their early 40s today, although they are still very young, but at this age, they have reached the age of being grandparents. They looked at the twins and their saliva was drooling, saying, "If our family can do it, too. It would be good to have such a pair of children."
"It's a bit difficult, because your family has a tradition of having twins." Director Hu "splashed cold water" on the side, and after speaking, he said to the little girl next to Director Li who had been silent for a while: "Huang Ying, you are old enough to solve the problem quickly. Question, give birth to a baby for your aunt and uncle to satisfy your hunger."
Unprepared to be called by name, Huang Ying's face immediately flushed red, she lowered her head, and whispered, "I'm still young!"
Director Li swept back and forth between Huang Ying and Lu Che, and sighed with an almost untraceable sigh, and said, "Xiaoying, Director Hu is right, you are already 20, and it will be too late if you don't think about personal issues. "
"I..." Huang Ying raised her head, glanced at Director Li timidly, lowered her head again, and said nothing.
This urge to find the target made the atmosphere at the scene a little embarrassing. Fortunately, someone came to serve the food at this time, and this matter was over.
"Xiaolu, come to my mother's place and give Grandma Li a meal." Jiang Yao reached out to hug Xiaolu, but Director Li didn't let go and said, "You and Lu Che can eat, and Lao Wu and I will help you take it first."
"Why is this so embarrassing?" Jiang Yao said.
"Don't be embarrassed, we haven't hugged our grandchildren yet, so just give us some relief." Director Li said with a smile.
Speaking of which, Jiang Yao obeyed their good intentions.
The Zhang family was very willing to spend money on this wedding dinner. The dishes were very rich, and there were many meat dishes. Chang Chang and Xiao Lu stared at the dishes with big eyes, and their saliva came out.
"Oh, Xiaolu wants to eat vegetables, right?" Director Li saw his sister's intention and asked Jiang Yao, "Can I give her something to eat?"
"Not yet, too young." Jiang Yao shook her head and said.
"How old are they?" Director Li asked.
Jiang Yao: "It's just been six months."
"It's only been six months." Director Li said in surprise: "You are too good at raising children, you are so old in six months."
"It's okay." Jiang Yao said modestly, "These two children have a good appetite."
"You have a good appetite because you can raise them." Director Li said, "I heard that Lu Che's wife was an educated youth from the provincial capital, and she was young. I guessed that you would not raise children, but I didn't expect them to be so good. Come back, if you can be such a strong man, you must be willing to feed your children."
"Of course my own child is willing."
Director Li was very interested in Jiang Yao's parenting scriptures. After a meal, they both talked about this topic.
Although the parenting concepts of the old generation and the new generation collide, Director Li never "rely on the old to sell the old", thinking that the young people do not understand anything and should listen to the old.
As for the three men on the table, they were talking about the new product to be researched recently. Lu Che, the new team leader, always gave timely answers to the questions raised by Director Wu. name.
Although he was busy entertaining the leaders, he did not forget to add vegetables to Jiang Yao. Whenever her bowl was about to be empty, he would always fill her up in time.
Halfway through the banquet, the brothers and sisters were quarreling because of their hunger. Jiang Yao borrowed Zhang's firewood house and hid in to feed them, and Lu Che also followed.
By the time they came out, the banquet was almost over.
Zhu Xia and Zhang Dong were sending the guests away, and when they saw them coming out, Zhu Xia said, "You two are definitely not full, so I packed some for you, go back and eat it hot. The weather is cold and the dishes are cold."
As soon as the words fell, Wen Qian handed it over.
Jiang Yao took it over and said to Zhu Xia and Zhang Dong, "Thank you!"
"No need to thank you. If you want to say thank you, we should say thank you, you two big matchmakers." Zhang Dong said with a smile.
"No need to say thank you!" Jiang Yao said to Zhang Dong: "Zhu Xia is the godmother of Changchang and Xiaolu. You have to treat her well in the future, otherwise the little guy will not agree."
"Yes, not only the twins disagree, but also our sisters." Wen Qian said, "Don't bully Zhu Xia's natal family is far away in the provincial capital. If you dare to bully her, we will not let you go. ."
Zhu Xia listened, her eyes couldn't help turning red, and the original anxiety in her heart was also eased at this moment.
Zhang Dong put his arms around Zhu Xia and made a few solemn promises to Jiang Yao, "Just put your heart in your belly, and I will treat her well."
"You must do what you say."
"Of course." Zhang Dong rushed people after he finished speaking, "You guys go back first, talk about it another day, don't interfere with my wedding night, okay?"
"What did you say?" Zhu Xia stared straight at the person in shame.
Wen Qian's few unmarried girls were made a big red face, but the other workers who wanted to send them back immediately scolded Zhang Dong, "In broad daylight, what kind of candle night do you have?"
Everyone made a fuss at the door for a while and then went back.
The well-fed brothers and sisters were already asleep. The temperature in early winter was not high, and it was colder when the bicycles were running. Jiang Yao and Lu Che wrapped them tightly before leaving home.
When they got back to Lu's house, the children hadn't woken up yet, so the young couple put them on the bed first.
"Daughter-in-law, are you hungry? Why don't I go to have a hot meal now." Lu Che asked in a low voice.
"I'm not hungry. If you are hungry, go get hot." Jiang Yao said.
"I'm not too hungry. Let's eat more tonight." Lu Che asked, "How about we take a nap too?"
"Okay, but before going to bed, I have a question for you."
"what is the problem?"
"Does that Huang Ying like you?" Jiang Yao used interrogative sentences, but her tone was affirmative.
"..." Lu Che was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "Daughter-in-law, how did you know? You have to believe me, I have nothing with her, and I have ignored her."
