Parents are busy farming

After the caravan left, Lu Zili was about to go back to the mutton soup restaurant, but unexpectedly his wife and future mother-in-law came over.

"What's the matter? You're in such a hurry. Just ask someone to send you a message and I'll go to your place to find you." Lu Zili quickly stepped forward and saluted.

His wife took a breath and said, "I heard that your sister hasn't said goodbye yet, so I asked the surrounding families to pay attention. Today, Aunt Qi next door said that the Jiang family in the back street has a son who is similar in age to your sister. They were also talking about getting married, so she went to ask about it, and his family said they wanted to see each other and ask what you meant."

I heard this, who else could I hear it from, it would be Lu Zili’s future wife.

The girl Lu Hongguo refused to marry in the village, so what could she do? She could only find a suitable family in the city. He didn't know anyone in the city, so he could only ask his future wife.

Fortunately, Lu Zili managed the mutton soup restaurant, which raised the bar a bit.

Lu Zili quickly said: "Okay, I will ask my parents when I get back today, and I will go to your house and give you a reply tomorrow morning."

I said I wanted to ask Lu Yongfu and Lu Bai for their opinions, but actually I wanted to ask Lu Hongguo herself what she meant.

At this time, he happened to arrive in front of the pastry shop. Lu Zili asked his wife to wait while he went to the shop and bought some pastries for her to take back.

"There are just a few freshly baked pastries, please take them back!" After saying that, he handed the pastries to her.

His wife took a look at the pastries he bought. There were two things she liked, and two things her daughter liked to eat.

The smile widened and he warned: "Come early tomorrow morning and have breakfast at home."

After saying that, the two separated here.

Because of Lu Zili's special relationship with his father-in-law's family, although he has not yet gotten married, he often sends things to his door.

Everyone has become accustomed to this way of getting along, and apart from being more friendly, we don't feel there is anything wrong with it.

Lu Zili returned to the mutton soup restaurant and continued working.

Looking back on Lu Hongguo's recent performance, he was still very satisfied.

Not only does he help Mr. Lu Bai cook every day, but he also goes to learn needlework from Ms. Lu Li.

Because Lu Lianhua is pregnant, Lu Li has been helping her unborn child prepare clothes and bedding.

Lu Hongguo took this opportunity to take the two younger sisters below to study with him.

Although she still couldn't tell how well she was learning, she followed it seriously, which was already a great improvement.

The person who worried Lu Zili the most was Lu Dashan.

After they built a house and signed an IOU with Ye Yongwang, Lu Dashan became silent a lot and didn't talk much except smoking every day.

Even if Lu Zili went back to talk to him about the mutton soup restaurant every day, he would ignore it and say a few perfunctory words.

At first, Lu Zili thought that Lu Dashan was angry about him and his father signing an IOU with his uncle, but later he found out that he really had no energy.

It seems that since Ye Zifen's punishment, he began not to go out much, and he didn't even pay much attention to the beloved cow at home.

Lu Zili was very worried about Lu Dashan's health and wanted to take him to the county for a doctor to take his pulse, but he was too stubborn to do so.

Mrs. Lu seemed to have noticed something, and now she stayed with Lu Dashan every day and rarely left the house, but she still controlled the family's food and money.

Lu Zili was afraid that the rest of his family would not be able to eat well, so he would often bring meat back.

Occasionally there would be leftover roast mutton in the store, and he would share it with everyone and take it back to improve everyone's food.

Whenever Lu Yongfu is happiest at this time, Lu Dashan will smile when he sees Lu Yongfu happy.

Under Bai Dazhuang's supervision, Lu Yongfu was able to follow him to collect grain, but he still knew how to cheat and cheat, but he didn't dare to do it too obviously.

After returning home, he didn't care about anything and just lay down on the kang.

Lu Bai was already very satisfied with his current performance, so she just turned a blind eye.

Lu Zili was not used to him. When he returned home in the evening, he got him up from the kang, and the father and son started chopping firewood.

At first, Lu Yongfu would complain endlessly, but later he saw that no matter how much he complained, Lu Zili would not let him go, so he could only accept his fate and follow him.

When Lu Zili came back today, he didn't immediately call Lu Yongfu to come out to chop wood. Instead, he went to the kitchen to find Lu Hongguo.

"Mom! I have something to do with Hongguo. Please let Hongzhi help you light the fire!"

When Lu Bai heard what her eldest son said, although she was curious about what was going on, she still called Lu Hongzhi into the kitchen and continued to light the fire and cook.

When Lu Hongguo saw Lu Hongzhi coming, she got up and left the place where the fire was burning.

I followed Lu Zili out and was put in a backpack on the way out. I planned to bring back some soft firewood that was easy to light.

"Brother, what do you want from me?" Lu Hongguo asked after walking out of the house.

Lu Zili replied: "My mother-in-law said today that there is a young man in their back street who is about the same age as you. His father is a shopkeeper. She wants to ask you if you want to meet him."

Lu Hongguo asked: "What does he do?"

"It seems like working as a waiter in a pastry shop. Families like theirs basically have this model." Lu Zili said.

Lu Hongguo thought for a while and asked, "Does he have other brothers and sisters?"

"I heard that there is another brother who is already married."

Lu Hongguo nodded, "Let's meet! But before we meet, my brother will help me find out what that person's character is like?"

Lu Zili agreed naturally: "Of course, I have asked Wang Sheng and Li Song to help find out. Oh! You don't know these two people. One of them works as a shopkeeper in Fooker, and the other works as an accountant in a grocery store."

Lu Hongguo suddenly asked: "Are they all in Zi Zifen's shop?"

Lu Zili didn't answer her, and she didn't say anything else.

Now she finally felt the difference between her and Ye Zifen.

But she would never know that Ye Zifen also envied her.

Early the next morning, Lu Zili went to Yue's house and agreed to see each other.

Back at the shop, Li Song and Wang Sheng were waiting there.

"Go in and say, don't stand outside." Lu Zili led them inside.

The two of them are very familiar with the store. After all, they both have a relationship with it.

Especially Wang Sheng, he witnessed the development of the mutton soup restaurant step by step, from Ye Zifen stewing mutton soup to making steamed buns, to later buying people to make it.

From the original one room, it has expanded to five rooms now.

"How about that young man?" Lu Zili asked.

Li Song spoke first: "That young man is quite good. He works hard in the pastry shop, is smart, and has a sweet mouth! He is highly appreciated by the owner of that shop."

Wang Sheng said again: "But you have to be mentally prepared. His brother is relatively rigid, and his sister-in-law is not a fuel-efficient person. Fortunately, his parents did not favor his eldest brother when they arrived."

Lu Zili frowned after hearing this and asked, "According to your opinion, if he leaves to live alone, will he be able to support the family?"

Wang Sheng nodded, "I think it's okay. Although he is a clerk, he works in a pastry shop. In addition to the monthly salary, he also has some rewards! After all, many pastries are bought by rich families."
