Chapter 26 Recognition of Relatives
It was a huge crowd of people, men and women, young and old.
The small hall was instantly packed, and it was difficult to move. Several children were running around the table, and they bumped into each other when they turned around.
Su Qing'an was surrounded by a bunch of people, and she was also dizzy and called this and that. She couldn't remember a few of them.
Grandpa Lu Bocheng seemed to be a reasonable person. The old man smiled at Su Qing'an and told her to be frugal and cultivate her character.
Su Qing'an listened respectfully.
Grandpa Lu should have a high status in the family. The descendants seemed to be afraid of him. When his grandson made a noise, he frowned and scolded him, and the children behaved like mice scared by cats.
And Lu Bocheng's grandmother seemed to be soft-hearted.
Several children surrounded her and asked for food, so she grabbed the cakes on the table and stuffed them into the arms of several grandchildren. Finally, she stopped after being scolded by Grandpa Lu.
These two old couples are completely different from Su Qing's grandparents. Their status is lower than each other.
As for the people from Lu Bocheng's two uncles and two aunts, it seems that we don't know what their temperament is at the moment. They all came with a big family, including daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, sons and daughters, grandchildren, grandchildren, and a bunch of people.
Su Qing's face was frozen with laughter.
After recognizing the relatives, Grandpa Lu looked at the noisy people in the room and said to Lu's father: "Making money, I will take them back in a while. Boshou will also go to the battlefield in a few days, and the family must prepare.
Su Qing'an looked at the cousin named Lu Boshou and saw that he looked like an honest farmer. She couldn't help but sigh.
If it comes to farm work, he may be able to compete with others, but he may not have touched a sword or a gun.
Alas. I just hope he can come back alive.
Seeing that he and the uncle Lu and his wife both had bitter faces, Su Qing'an couldn't help but sigh again. Fortunately, he got married last year. Today, his wife is also pregnant. Whether it is a boy or a girl is still unknown, but it is a comfort.
The eldest aunt of the Lu family is a thin woman. She pulled Lu Bocheng over sadly and asked him to take care of this cousin more and take care of him more on the battlefield.
Lu Bocheng nodded in agreement. If we can be assigned to the same unit, we will naturally take care of each other. At least the living person will bring the news home quickly.
Su Qing'an watched him get along with his family silently. Although he didn't care about Lu's father, his attitude towards his relatives in his hometown was okay. He didn't have any resentment towards his grandparents.
"Dad and mom, why don't you stay one more night? Otherwise, let the uncle and sister go back first, and you two stay for a few more days. Let us be filial to you for a few days. This new daughter-in-law just got married, let her serve you. ɱ”
Mrs. Wu said.
Su Qing’an glanced at her, lowered her head and said nothing.
Lü Bocheng said: “Grandpa and grandma, please stay. You have been living in my uncle’s house, and you have to work in the fields every day without rest. It’s a good time to relax here with my father. My second mother told my father in the morning that her cooking is delicious. Grandpa and grandma will stay to let her serve. ”
The whole family looked at Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu was stunned at first, but soon she smiled again and nodded to agree with what Lü Bocheng said.
Lü Bozu looked at Lü Bocheng with a gloomy face, and Lü Bocheng looked back at him with a sidelong look. Lü Bozu quickly looked away. The corners of Lü Bocheng’s mouth curled up in disdain.
Su Qing’an saw Grandpa Lu sighing almost imperceptibly.
Seeing that Grandma Lu was a little moved, she scolded: “There is not much to do at home? You are hiding in the town! "
Grandma Lu stammered, "Bocheng is leaving too. It's just right for me to take a few children to stay in the town and kiss him. I don't know when I can see him next time..."
Grandpa Lu felt like a big piece was missing in his heart when he thought of his two grandsons being conscripted.
Especially for his grandson Lu Bocheng, he felt sorry for him.
When his son brought Wu back, he didn't stop her from entering the house for the sake of Wu's two children. After Liu died, they didn't take care of the child who lost his mother, and let him live under the eyes of his stepmother for so many years.
Wu was good at pretending, but just looking at Bocheng's attitude towards her, you can tell that she didn't treat Bocheng well on weekdays. Otherwise, such a good child like Bocheng would not be ungrateful.
Old Lu sighed deeply in his heart, but didn't let go. He said to his wife, "Go back first and come back in a few days."
"Dad, why don't you stay for a few more days. It will save you from sending Boshou over in a few days and having to go through the trouble again." Father Lu said.
"No. The children are still young and have no one to take care of them. Your place is small and can't accommodate them. It costs money to rent a house. We will come back in a few days. It is convenient to have a bullock cart at home. "
Old Lu refused and insisted on leaving.
Mrs. Wu stood up and wanted to see him off.
Lü Bocheng glanced at her and suddenly said to Mr. Lu: "Dad, don't you give some money to uncle? My cousin is leaving soon. Some money can help uncle take care of things and buy some clothes for my cousin."
Mrs. Lu was stunned, then nodded and said: "Yes, yes."
Turning around, he told Mrs. Wu to get the money.
Mrs. Wu quickly glanced at Lü Bocheng and said to Mr. Lu: "How much?"
Old Lu and Uncle Lu were already refusing: "No, no, there is still some at home. There is still some money left from the money you gave a few days ago."
Lü Bocheng walked over and took the old Lu's hand: "Master, let's put things in order. The money you gave me a few days ago was for the expenses of coming to my wedding, and the rest is naturally for honoring grandpa and grandma. When you leave later, grandpa and grandma can buy some candies and snacks in town to bring back to my brothers, sisters, and nephews."
This sentence stopped the old Lu from talking.
The eldest aunt pulled Huang, who was pregnant, to thank Lu Bocheng and Lu's father, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to talk to Su Qing'an. Neither of them had a smile on their faces.
Huang probably felt that Su Qing'an and she were in the same boat, and she had not spoken since she entered the house, but now she spoke a few words.
Su Qing'an looked at the young Huang, who was sixteen or seventeen years old and pregnant, and sighed in her heart and comforted her a few words.
Wu and Lu's father looked at each other and went back to the room to get the silver.
And Lu Yuzhu had come from a large group of relatives in the countryside, and her face was already full of impatience. Now, when she heard that Lü Bocheng asked her mother to get the silver, she glared at Lü Bocheng fiercely.
Su Qing'an saw it and shook her head. This child didn't learn even half of her mother's skills.
Soon, Wu came with a purse and stuffed it into Grandma Lü's arms. The aunt thanked her repeatedly.
When the family left, Grandma Lü stuffed an old silver bracelet into Su Qing'an, which surprised Su Qing'an.
She couldn't ask, so she just watched Old Lü take the whole family away.
Father Lü and Lü Bocheng went to see them off together.
It wasn't until Lü Bocheng came back that he talked about the origin of the old silver bracelet.
