"Yao Yao, come back as soon as you come back. Why are you bringing so many things?" Li Miaohua brought the soaked malted milk to her daughter. The bamboo basket placed on the long wooden bench was filled to the brim, and she didn't know what it contained.

Li Miaohua said nothing, and no one in the family dared to touch the things Lu Chuyao brought.While Lu Chuyao was feeding Zaizai malted milk, he said to her mother: "Grandma Mingze seems to have packed up some cured goods and dried vermicelli. By the way, there are apples and shortbread cookies in them. Mom, take them out and wash them." Cut it into pieces and give it to my dad, sister-in-law and the others to try."

Lu Zigui, who was not named, was anxious and jumped up and down with his aunt, "Me, me, I want to eat too!"

Yao Minghui couldn't see how her son was so useless, so she rushed over and poked him on the forehead, "Your dad and I, your grandma usually lacks food for you? She can't move away even if she sees a little food. The chirping of the legs is annoying." As one of the few urban workers in the brigade, Lu Haoyang earns a monthly salary of 36 yuan. Excluding the expenses for food and clothing, he can still save a considerable amount of savings by the end of the year.

Not to mention the carpentry work that Lu Jianjun occasionally takes on, which can cost as little as two or three yuan, as much as eight, nine or even a dozen yuan. Over time, the two old people can support themselves without causing trouble to their son and daughter.

Therefore, in general, the Lu family belongs to a well-off family in the countryside in the 80s.As the only grandson of the Lu family, Lu Zigui has been supported by his family since he was born, and he has no worries about food and clothing.He had tasted almost all the new things in the city that other children had never seen or eaten.

On this basis, he can still be so greedy, which makes Yao Minghui and others unable to understand.

Seeing that his sister-in-law was really angry, Lu Chuyao quickly changed the subject, "Okay, sister-in-law, how old are you? It's normal to be greedy. I came here today because I have something to ask you for help."

Pushing away her son who was pretending to cry, Yao Minghui sat down beside her sister-in-law and asked with concern: "What's the matter? Did my brother-in-law bully you?" The two elders also looked over, staring at the little girl worriedly.

Lu Chuyao couldn't laugh or cry, "Song Mingze is far away in the army, how can he bully me?"

"I'm just telling you, it scared me." Yao Minghui patted her chest. What a woman fears most is that her husband will not love her and her mother-in-law will bully her.

Li Miaohua had a straightforward temper. After putting away the bacon, she turned around and urged her daughter to tell her what kind of help she wanted them to do.Lu Chuyao pursed his lips, seeming to find it difficult to speak.

After thinking for a moment, he closed his eyes and said in his heart: "Lu Qingqing owes me money and won't pay back."

"..."

Li Miaohua raised the volume to [-] decibels, and the sound waves almost broke through the roof, "What! When did you lend it to her, and how much did it cost?!" The middle-aged woman protecting the calf was too scary, and the calf was in her mother's arms. Baby, he was so frightened that he cried.

"Be good, don't be afraid. This is grandma." She touched her son's forehead and smoothed his hair.Lu Jianjun felt sorry for his grandson and glanced at his wife with dissatisfaction, "The child is still here, so just make a loud noise."

The chat was interrupted, so Lu Chuyao had to stop complaining and put his little ancestor to sleep first.Ten minutes later, Li Miaohua stood at the door and asked her daughter in an angry voice, "Are you asleep?"

"Yeah." His belly fell up and down together, his breathing was even and long, and he had already entered a deep sleep.

Lu Chuyao closed the door and confirmed that the sound insulation effect was good before returning to the main room to finish the unfinished topic.When Li Miaohua heard from her daughter that Lu Qingqing had borrowed forty or fifty dollars, she became uneasy.

He was about to rush out to find Lu Shuisheng to pay back the money. Lu Jianjun was afraid that his wife would do something impulsive that would harm the harmony between neighbors, so he quickly extinguished the newly lit spark and took Li Miaohua's arm.

"Why are you stopping me? She, Lu Qingqing, has the ability to borrow money, but she has no ability to pay it back. I'm surprised, what does a little girl do to borrow so much money? It's not just a few cents, but dozens of yuan." Lu Jianjun touched the saliva on his face that was sprayed by his wife and said in a deep voice, "Calm down."

"Yes, Mom. Just listen to me, come here and sit down." Lu Chuyao took Li Miaohua's hand and pulled her to sit down.Mother and daughter have never been so close since their daughter got married, and Li Miao felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

Lu Chuyao held his mother's rough and thick left hand tightly and whispered softly, "Actually, it's all my fault. I blame my naivety. I think Lu Qingqing's family conditions are not good, and the two of us are really good at playing. When she complained, I softened Heartbroken."

"Little sister, when Lu Qingqing asked you to borrow money, did he give you an IOU?" Yao Minghui asked the key point.

"There were IOUs for the first few times, but then..." She lowered her head in annoyance.Seeing that her daughter was wronged, Li Miaohua hated the damn Lu Qingqing in her heart.When she was a child, her daughter was very naughty and always cheated Chu Yao of their family into eating snacks. She thought the children were young at the time, so she didn't care too much.

Now that I think about it, the old saying goes, "You steal needles when you are young, but you steal gold when you are old".Don't expect that something that grows crookedly from its roots will turn into a healthy tree in the future.

Yao Minghui comforted her sister-in-law, "Don't worry, little sister, my sister-in-law will definitely help you recover the money. You are right, you know? The bad thing is Lu Qingqing, who takes advantage of your kindness and refuses to pay back the money you owe."

"Yes, my daughter, it will be easier to handle if you have an IOU. At least you can get back the money on the IOU. Lu Shuisheng also wants to save face. His daughter will not repay the money she borrowed, and it will be his shame to yell out." Lu Jianjun is accused by his daughter, and his daughter is being accused. He also feels bad when someone cheats.

The complaining part came to an end, and her sister-in-law Yao Minghui rolled up her sleeves and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook. "Little sister, let's stay at home tonight." There was a wall between the kitchen and the main room. Lu Chuyao leaned against the door and said softly, "No, I didn't bring anything for the baby. It's not convenient to sleep at home."

Seeing her say this, Yao Minghui smiled and did not insist anymore.

After dinner at her parents' house, while it was still early, Lu Chuyao picked up her little Zaizai and prepared to go back to the Song family.Her mother, Li Miaohua, was worried about her daughter and grandson and insisted on seeing them off. "We're all in the same village, it's okay, Mom."

"No, some brigades keep dogs without tethers. What if they start biting people like crazy? I'll send you back. I've also prepared potatoes and eggs for you. These things are heavy and you can't lift them with your child in your arms."

Li Miaohua, who is [-] meters tall, looks quite strenuous to carry a bamboo basket filled with potatoes and eggs.Looking at Lu Chuyao's eyes, her bent back made her nose suddenly sore... To cover up the strangeness, she quickly buried her baby's neck.

It turns out that mother's love is so heart-warming.

Her soft eyes suddenly became firm, and she said silently in her heart, "Lu Chuyao, thank you. Please rest assured that I will take good care of your parents on your behalf and protect your baby's safety and health."

At this moment, Qiao An'an from modern times completely transformed into Lu Chuyao from the 80s.
