Chapter 295 Sun Cui
When Lu Qingqing arrived, the door of Village Chief Yang's house was open.
She went into the yard and shouted, and Yang Yongyan came out.
As soon as he saw her, he smiled and welcomed her into the house.
"It's cold outside, come inside and sit down."
As he said this, he led his men into the house and asked as he walked:
"Daya, what's the matter with you today?"
Lu Qingqing nodded: "I have something to ask Uncle Yang."
After hearing this, Yang Yongyan just nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, the two men also entered the house.
Inside the house, the whole family was sitting and selecting wheat seeds.
There is nothing to do in winter, so many families will pick the wheat seeds in advance.
Although picking wheat seeds is not a tiring job, it is very time-consuming.
Pick out the good wheat kernels with larger grains, and put the small, shriveled or incomplete ones separately.
There were two large wooden basins on the ground, filled with different wheat seeds, separated by good and bad.
There were some empty wheat husks on the ground next to it.
When the family saw Lu Qingqing coming in, they hurriedly stood up to greet her.
Mother Yang smiled and said, "Daya, please sit down. The house is in such a mess, please don't mind."
Lu Qingqing smiled and waved her hand.
Yang Yongyan said to his father:
"Dad, Daya wants to see you about something."
After hearing this, Village Chief Yang dusted off the wheat husks on his body and said,
"Daya, there's no room here. Come with me to this room and talk."
As they spoke, the two of them entered the main room on the east side.
Lu Qingqing walked behind and said after closing the door:
"Uncle Yang, Master's wife and I are on guard duty at the front today. Sister Qiuyan just came to our ice house and wandered around for a while."
When Village Chief Yang heard Qiuyan's name, he had no idea who she was.
In the village, married women are usually addressed as "someone's" or "someone's mother".
The name of the husband or son will be placed in front of it.
Women were rarely called by their names.
Especially since Village Chief Yang is a man, he doesn’t even know Qiuyan’s name.
Seeing this, Lu Qingqing explained:
"Sister Qiuyan is the wife that Brother Mazi just married a few days ago."
Village Chief Yang finally understood the situation and nodded in response:
"It's Ma Zi's family. What's wrong? What's the matter?"
"Just now, Sister Qiuyan came to our ice house and asked about the village's daytime guard and patrol."
Village Chief Yang listened with a frown on his face.
The last time he saw Ma Zi's wife, he felt that she was very clever and different from ordinary farm women.
If it were a normal year, Ma Zi would never be able to marry such a wife.
It was only during such a disaster year that one could exchange ten kilograms of grain for a wife.
But something is not right today.
Although the villagers were all on duty, there was no food reward for this duty.
Most villagers do this as a duty, so if you say they are very enthusiastic, that’s not the case.
It is a bit unusual that Ma Zi's wife is so concerned about the duty.
Thinking of this, Village Chief Yang asked a few more details.
Lu Qingqing only talked about what she saw and did not express her own guesses.
After listening to her, Village Chief Yang thought for a while before letting her leave.
Lu Qingqing had no idea what Village Chief Yang arranged afterwards.
But on the second day when they were practicing martial arts, the master's wife came over and told her quietly.
Master Yan and Lu Tianming went to the village chief's house yesterday to discuss matters, and the village elders were also there.
They were discussing this matter and had already come up with a solution.
Master Yan did not elaborate on the specific countermeasures.
But Lu Qingqing was not too worried anymore.
Lu Qingqing might not trust other people that much.
But Lu Tianming is a cautious person.
Since he knew that Qiu Yan was suspicious, he couldn't just ignore her. He would probably secretly arrange someone to keep an eye on Qiu Yan.
Since she knew that Lu Tianming and Village Chief Yang had already made arrangements, she didn't need to worry about it anymore.
In the middle of the morning, Lu Qingqing suddenly received an invitation.
Tomorrow, Lu Laosan and his newly bought wife Sun Cui will hold a simple wedding banquet.
Since it was not the first marriage for either of them, there was no grand ceremony.
He just said that he would invite a few familiar friends from his family to have lunch at noon.
In Lu Laosan's room.
When Sun Cui heard Lu Lao San say that he had already notified all the relatives, her face showed a very happy expression.
After the wedding banquet tomorrow, she will officially become Lu Laosan's wife.
This means that she won't have to worry about starving to death for a long time.
She had taken a secret look when she entered the room yesterday.
The food that Lu Laosan placed in the house filled up every corner.
She squeezed all the bags and confirmed that they were undoubtedly food.
With so much food, if they save some, it will be enough for the two of them to eat for more than a year.
Not to mention famine years, even in normal years, neither her parents' family nor her ex-husband's family had that much food stored.
As she thought about it, Sun Cui remembered her child who had starved to death.
If there had been half a bag of food at that time, his well-behaved puppy would not have starved to death.
Fortunately, I helped my son to get revenge.
The husband who only knew how to help his brother-in-law's family and starved his own son to death is dead.
Including the family of his uncle who bullied his own dog, they all died.
Now, she is the only one alive.
But she not only wants to live, but also wants to live well and live a good life!
Sun Cui looked at Lu Laosan, whose face was disfigured, and decided to win over this man.
She stepped forward with a smile and said softly:
"Boss, how many dishes should we prepare for tomorrow's wedding banquet?
As for dinner, I'll make it in advance today."
Lu Laosan looked at the thin woman with prominent cheekbones and thought she was really ugly.
Not to mention compared with Qin Li'niang, she is not even as good as her two sisters-in-law.
But now there is no one at home, and there is no suitable girl in Linshan Village.
The only thing he could find was this one.
Moreover, he was disfigured, and no girl from a normal family would marry him.
Forget it, let’s just live our lives like this.
When she asked about the wedding banquet, Lu Lao San thought of the banquet when Bai Xing'er got married and replied:
"Let's cook two tables of dishes tomorrow. We have some pork left at home, so let's cook all of it tomorrow."
When Sun Cui heard that there was still meat, her eyes lit up.
She has fallen into a blessed place. Not only does she have food to eat in a famine, but she can also eat meat.
In previous years, this would have been the treatment that the richest men in the village received!
Thinking of this, she looked at Lu Laosan with some admiration in her eyes.
As Lu Lao San was speaking, he didn't get angry when he saw Sun Cui didn't respond, and continued:
"For two tables of food, I guess that amount of pork isn't enough.
I'll go ask around and buy some later.
Make one meat dish and two vegetable dishes tomorrow.
For dry food, we can use mixed grain steamed bread, two steamed breads per person."
As Sun Cui listened, her previous joy disappeared.
How can this person be called a wealthy man? He is clearly a sucker!
In normal years, meat dishes are rarely served at banquets in the village.
In this famine year, serving meat dishes, wouldn't that be pure idiocy?
