Chapter 406 Did You Ruin Me?
Chapter 406 Did You Ruin Me?
It's past nine in the morning.
Lu Yao quickly swung his whip and hurried home.
Going home for the Chinese New Year!
This is the first year since I was reborn.
Make sure Mom and my little sister feel happy.
Since Jing Youxiang wasn't singing, Lu Yao and Lu Xiaoqian sang together.
The road from Shuiling Commune to my home is a deserted wilderness with distant, rolling mountains and a vast expanse of white snow. Anyone who walks through this place will feel a sense of openness and expansiveness.
Those who can write poetry want to write poetry, and those who can sing want to sing.
Even those who know nothing can spout a few loud "Wo cao" to express their feelings.
Jiang Guizhi was overjoyed to see the brother and sister so happy they were beside themselves.
She couldn't help but secretly wipe away her tears.
She thought of her husband, Lu Chuan.
If he were alive, how wonderful it would be for the family of four to live happily together!
Suddenly, a wildcat darted across the road ahead.
Lu Yao reached for his gun.
He fired a shot at the mountain fox.
The carriage was bumpy, and the distance was far, so they missed.
Lu Yao laughed heartily: "Even I make mistakes?"
He steadied his arm and fired a shot with a "bang".
The bullet entered the fleeing mountain fox from behind, went through its shoulder blade, and exited.
The mountain fox tumbled and flew a long way, convulsing and unable to run away.
By the time Lu Yao's carriage arrived, Shanlizi was already dead.
When I was first reborn, I had to use my belt to set a trap to catch a wildcat.
Now that we have guns, hunting has become a pleasure and an enjoyment.
Lu Xiaoqian got out of the car and brought the mountain cat back, praising her brother's skills endlessly.
Lu Yao laughed and said, "This is nothing. After the New Year, I will organize people to go hunting in the mountains. I have already thought it through. Ding Dahu will manage the winery for me, Uncle Lao Ba will manage the greenhouses, and I will take Gou Shengzi, Tie Zhu, and Xiao Meizi to go hunting."
Lu Xiaoqian asked, "Why aren't you bringing the militia company?"
"We can't always rely on the militia company for our own production team's affairs. We hunt and sell the game ourselves, but if you bring the militia company, we won't be able to share the spoils."
Jiang Guizhi asked a question:
"You're still with Xiao Meizi? Son, I think Ding Dahu is a scoundrel. You should stay away from their house. Xiao Meizi has a bad temper too, so you'd better not get too close to her."
Lu Yao turned to look at his mother:
"Mom, did you say that? I remember you really liked Xiao Meizi?"
"Times have changed! Son, you weren't very capable before, and we couldn't afford to mess with Ding Dahu. But things are different now; you have more choices..."
Lu Yao felt a little displeased.
He knew his mother meant well and wanted him to marry the best girl in the world.
But she doesn't understand her own heart.
This time, he set a goal for himself after his rebirth. The first priority was not money or status, but family.
My greatest wish is for the people I care about to live a good life and feel happy.
He now likes Ding Mei; she is a completely different person from the old shrew of his previous life.
If someone else had said something bad about Ding Mei, Lu Yao would have already turned on them.
She's my own mother, so I can't say much, but I don't want to listen either.
"Mom, if back when you and Dad were together, a rich and more handsome young man suddenly came along and pursued you, would you have dumped Dad?"
Jiang Guizhi sighed.
Actually, at that time, the son of a landlord in Majiadian was indeed pursuing her.
However, she still chose Lu Chuan. She didn't mind that he was poor. She just felt that Lu Chuan was a strong and capable young man who was sincere to her.
Later, it turned out that he had made the right choice, because the landlord's son was paraded through the streets wearing a tall hat, and later jumped into the river and died.
Just when he thought he had made the right choice, Lu Chuan had another accident a few years later.
I can only blame my bad luck.
It can be said that life is unpredictable, and every cloud has a silver lining; we never know which step was right and which was wrong.
"Silly son, I'm just giving you a suggestion. It's not that I look down on Xiao Meizi, I'm just afraid you'll marry a hooligan's daughter and suffer in the future."
Lu Xiaoqian shook her head from the side:
"Mom, have you taken a liking to Sister Jing Youxiang? I feel she's not as good as Sister Ding Mei."
Jiang Guizhi slapped her on the shoulder: "What do you know, kid? Don't talk nonsense."
Lu Yao had her own ideas and would not let her mother influence her.
However, I didn't want to argue with her and upset her.
Today is the Lunar New Year, so no one should be unhappy.
With a crack of the whip, the carriage sped along.
I arrived home shortly after.
Lu Yao let the mother and daughter get out of the carriage and go inside, while he went to the brigade to deliver the horse-drawn carriage.
When he returned, a group of people had come into the house, which startled Lu Yao.
Aunt Lao Ba brought over some New Year's cakes.
Cao Erdan's wife, Shanxing, brought over some mushrooms.
Xilian brought over the paper-cut window decorations she had made herself.
Sister-in-law Yufen made a pair of shoes for Xiaoqian.
The room was so crowded that there was barely any room to move. There were seven or eight women inside.
These people were all grateful for Lu Yao's help and came to give gifts on their own initiative.
No one was home before, but everyone came over after a while.
Lu Yao had nowhere to stand when he entered the room, so he took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
He was having a lively chat with those women.
Shanxing was especially close to him, after all, they had slept together.
People say there are only two kinds of friends you can get along with in your life.
One type is those who played together naked since childhood, and the other type is those who played together naked as adults.
Once you've had this relationship, you're different from others.
Shanxing often stares blankly at Lu Yao.
She didn't go home until Cao Erdan came looking for her.
The other women also left one after another.
Xilian stayed.
He personally helped Lu Yao put up the paper-cut window decorations.
She muttered to herself, "Old Ma is gone, so I can't put up couplets and window decorations this year. These were made especially for you. When you and Xiao Meizi get married, your aunt will cut out the character for 'double happiness' for you."
Lu Yao looked at her and felt inexplicably sorry for her.
I remember that two years after Zhang Mazi was arrested in my previous life, Xilian started to act improperly not long after.
I heard that Zhang Mazi died, and now men keep coming to her house to bully her.
Later, she simply gave up and did nothing.
Although she has high desires, she wasn't born a slut.
She hasn't done that in this life yet, so I'll help her if I can.
"Aunt Xilian, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, just come to me."
Xilian rolled her eyes at him: "Give me a break. You still haven't caught the person who pinned me down on the edge of the kang and gave me a good beating last time at my house. It's made me scared at night."
"..."
Lu Yao remained silent.
Last time, I played a prank on her on a whim to punish her for her sharp tongue, but I didn't expect it to leave her with psychological trauma.
At this time, Xiaoqian went out to play with Zuo Xiaoying, while her mother was in the kitchen preparing several dishes for lunch.
Inside the room, only Xilian and Luyao were putting up paper-cut window decorations on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Seeing that Lu Yao was speechless, happy Lian suddenly reached out and pinched his leg:
"You country bumpkin, tell me the truth, was it you last time?"
"Huh? What? It's not me?"
Lu Yao was a little alarmed.
Xilian stared intently at Lu Yao: "What else could it be? I'm just asking you, the person who broke into my house last time, pulled my sweater over their head, and pinned me down on the edge of the kang... was it you?"
