Chapter 135: Quarreling Can Develop My Brain

Yang Niannian was amused by Guan Ailian’s description, and curiously asked, “Sister-in-law, was he really that quiet before?

” Guan Ailian loved to chat, hearing Yang’s question, she said with a smile, “Before he joined the army, he was just living a life of boredom.

 But he did well in school, our in-laws were anxious, afraid that he wouldn’t get into college and wouldn’t find a wife.

They said that he might be possessed by something dirty, and they even went to the temple to pray to Guanyin. It didn’t work, so they went to a fortune teller.

She said that to fix the problem, it would cost 30 yuan. Your mother was too stingy, so she didn’t continue. At that time, they almost had Ruoling perform a ceremony to ward off bad luck for Shishen.”

Hearing his wife’s story getting more and more outlandish, Lu Qingyuan quickly pulled her sleeve, reminding her not to go too far.

What if the couple quarreled?

 Yang Niannian didn’t take it to heart, she smiled and said, “It’s good that he didn’t go to college, otherwise it would have been a waste.

He’s a natural soldier.”

Lu Qingyuan nodded with a silly smile, “Who says otherwise, before he went to join the army, we never thought that our family would produce an officer. It’s really like a rotten bamboo shoots out a good bamboo shoot.” Although Lu Qingyuan always thought that his brother was a company commander, in his eyes, it was already very impressive.

After his brother became a company commander, the village head became much more polite to their family. Yang Niannian smiled at Lu Shishen, thinking, if the family knew he was a regiment commander, wouldn’t they be thrilled and hold a big feast?

 However, Yang Niannian understood why Lu Shishen didn’t tell his family that he was a regiment commander.

With Ma Xiuzhu’s temper, if she knew Lu Shishen’s identity, wouldn’t she be arrogant and bully the neighbors in the village? Lu Shishen no longer had the coldness he had before. He listened to their conversation with a blank expression, as if it wasn’t about him. When the three of them had finished chatting, he spoke calmly, “Brother, please notify the relatives and elders to come to our house for a meal in my name.” He paused and added, “Those who want to come can come, no pressure on those who don’t want to.”

Lu Qingyuan straightened his face and nodded, “Okay, I’ll go and inform the uncles and aunts now. They will definitely come.

Everyone in the family is proud of you. You’re the most successful one in our generation. My younger uncle even wants Man Yuan to join the army.

” Man Yuan was the third son of Lu Qingyuan’s younger uncle. Lu Guozhi had five siblings, three brothers and two sisters. He was the second among the brothers.

The relationship between the brothers wasn’t very good, they even fought over land when they were young. Since Lu Shishen became a company commander in the army, the elder uncle and the younger uncle became more polite to their family.

The relationship between the brothers had improved a lot. Lu Shishen nodded, “I’ll take Niannian to town for a walk.” Guan Ailian pointed at the Flying Pigeon bicycle under the eaves, “Go by bicycle, it’s faster.” Lu Shishen didn’t refuse, he pushed the bicycle and took Yang Niannian out of the courtyard. Seeing this, Lu Qingyuan turned to his wife and said, “I’ll go to my elder brother’s house for a while.

Don’t go to the field to work, rest at home.

 We’ll have relatives over for dinner tomorrow, you’ll have to cook. Our mother’s temper, it’s good if she doesn’t make a fuss. She definitely won’t help tomorrow.

” Although they were his parents, Lu Qingyuan knew that his parents were wrong in this matter. He stood on his brother’s side. His parents were unwilling to help with his brother’s affairs, he, as the elder brother, couldn’t not help. Guan Ailian nodded, “You can also check where Baobao went to play, watch him and don’t let him go to the river.” Lu Qingyuan nodded, left the courtyard, and went straight to his elder brother’s house. It wasn’t too hot outside at this time, the villagers were busy weeding in the fields, some were chatting under the trees. Seeing Lu Shishen riding a bicycle with Yang Niannian, they started to gossip.

 Villager 1, “Oh, who’s that relative who rode by on a bicycle? The young man is tall and strong, he’s really handsome.” Villager 2, “You don’t even recognize Guozhi’s youngest son?

 He brought his wife back last night, now he’s definitely accompanying his wife back to her parents’ home.” Villager 3, “The woman is already staying at their house before they’re married? If her parents knew, wouldn’t they be furious? Whose daughter is she?”

 Villager 2, “Huang Guihua’s youngest daughter. They were supposed to marry her eldest daughter, I don’t know how it became the youngest daughter. I think this girl is not good, she’s thin like a monkey, she doesn’t look like she can have children…”

Villager 3, “He used to be like a fool, I didn’t expect him to be successful after joining the army. If I wasn’t worried that he would relapse into that foolishness, I would have introduced my niece to him. My niece eats a lot and is chubby, she would be a perfect match for him…”

 Yang Niannian didn’t expect that she was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, with her back to the village aunties, and they were still gossiping about her not being able to have children. The dirt road was bumpy, even though Lu Shishen chose the better roads, it was still unavoidable. Yang Niannian’s butt was almost shaken to pieces.

To prevent herself from falling, she simply hugged Lu Shishen’s narrow waist. The guy’s waist muscles were tight, it felt hard and strong.

“When I was in the courtyard, I thought you were going to hit your mother-in-law.” Since the image of a good daughter-in-law was gone, Yang Niannian didn’t want to call her Mom insincerely, so she changed the address directly.

 Thinking of Ma Xiuzhu, Lu Shishen frowned, “She’s the one who gave birth to me. No matter what, I won’t hit her.” In Lu Shishen’s understanding, even if his parents didn’t deserve to be parents, he could cut off ties with them, send them money for their old age regularly, but he wouldn’t hit them. Yang Niannian and Lu Shishen had the same idea.

 Lu Shishen protected her and said he wouldn’t go home for her. She was already very satisfied. From Guan Ailian’s words, it could also be heard that Lu Guozhi and Guan Ailian didn’t abuse him when he was a child.

People in this era lived in difficult conditions, it was good enough if they didn’t go hungry or freeze. As soon as she finished thinking, she heard Lu Shishen say, “You’ve been wronged these past two days.” “With your words, I don’t feel wronged anymore.”

Yang Niannian smiled and pinched his stomach, “You handle the fighting, I’ll handle the arguing. Arguing can stimulate my brain, preventing me from getting dementia when I’m old.”

“Okay.” Lu Shishen nodded seriously, but his muscles tensed up even more, and his ears turned red. The two of them went to town and bought candy and biscuits, and also bought a lot of peach cakes. Thinking that Guan Ailian and Lu Ruoling were both nice people, and they would need their help to entertain the relatives and elders tomorrow, they bought over ten meters of cloth to take back.

 It was enough to make clothes for them and the children, and maybe the leftover fabric could be used to make a pair of big shorts for Lu Qingyuan.

Fabric was cheap in the countryside, over ten meters only cost over thirty yuan. Thinking that Yang Niannian didn’t eat much at home in the morning, Lu Shishen took her to eat beef noodle soup in town before going home.

But as soon as they entered the courtyard, someone called out happily from the door of the main room, “Shishen, you’re back!”
