Chapter 61 Invitation

After the worship, Lin Daimo seemed to have changed. Even Pingsu's arrogant posture towards Lu Mengjie gradually changed. Unfortunately, since the distiller arrived, Lu Mengjie has devoted himself to refining essential oils and did not pay attention to these at all, which made Lin Daimo dissatisfied, but he was afraid to stay afraid. The handle had to beat down the teeth and swallow it.

After two days, the house, which has always been clean, suddenly became lively again.

Fangyuan happened to be idle. He stole some fresh meat, vegetables and eggs from the city and hired a carriage to send them to Lin Daimo's residence. On the way, he suddenly remembered what Lu Mengji had entrusted, so he turned the road and went to Shita Village. Unexpectedly, as soon as he wanted to show that Li Qi responded with an excited face, while Liu Laoer picked flowers and sent flowers every day. Even if it was cloudy and almost never stopped, he naturally agreed.

After all the inquiries, Fang Yuan left half a taels of silver and had the right to make a deposit for the two. Li Qi couldn't get rid of it, so he put it in his arms in fear.

Hearing that Fang Yuan was going to visit Mr. and Mrs. Lin Daimo, Li Qi remembered Lu Meng Jian in his heart, and it was inevitable to tell Fang Yuan to take care of it. But Zhong'er happened to be out for a day's holiday. As soon as he heard the news of a beautiful sister, he clamored to see Lu Mengjian and cried for a long time. Fang Yuan took Li Qi and Zhong'er here cruelly.

When the carriage stopped, Lu Mengjie was busy in the courtyard. Liu's mother was so happy that someone was chatting and helping to work. Suddenly, she heard a young child outside the door shouting, "Beautiful sister, open the door!"

Lu Mengjian was familiar with this, so he wiped his apron and quickly opened the doorl. He was suddenly thrown into his arms by a child and staddled. When he looked down, he turned out to be Zhong'er, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Zhong'er, why are you here? Where's your mother?" Lu Meng Jian stretched out his hand and held Zhonger in his arms. Unexpectedly, the little guy was much heavier, which made Lu Meng Jian's pink face turn red.

"Hey, Mengjian, why did you pick him up? Your waist injury has just healed. What if you are flashed by this stinky boy?" Not waiting for Zhonger to answer, Li Qi has already stepped forward. Lu Mengjian smiled happily, gently put Zhonger on the ground, and affectionately grabbed Aunt Li's arm.

"What's the wind blowing today? It has brought so many distinguished guests here. Aunt Li is about to sit in the house. I haven't seen you for so long. I miss you so much!" As Lu Mengjian said, he led Aunt Li and Zhong'er to the room to sit down. He made tea and cakes. He ate Zhonger with foam all over his mouth, and did not forget to shout "beautiful sister" sweetly in his mouth, which made Lu Mengjian full of joy.

After lunch at noon, Zhong'er couldn't stand the fatigue, so she went to the east wing to take a nap. Liu's mother was happy when she saw the child and gently stood aside with a fan.

And Li Qi's big iron stove in the courtyard was different from the stove he had seen in the past. He also heard that this was the distiller used by Lu Mengjian to extract essential oils, which aggravated his curiosity. After all, she and Lu Mengjian had also tried to refine essential oils in Shita Village before, but the conditions were extremely simple at that time. The utensils used are only made of a few broken pots, so when they see this big object, they are more and more eager to try.

It happened that when Lu Mengjian tested the furnace two days ago, the effect was not very obvious. I always wanted to find another opportunity to try it, but I suffered from not having enough flowers. Today, Fang Yuan came and brought another bag of tassel flowers picked by Liu Laoer, and he was also moved, so I asked Aunt Li to rinse the inside and outside of the distiller furnace and pour them into the water to refine them.

This distillation furnace was originally drawn by Lu Mengjian after the improvement of modern technology. Coupled with Liu's exquisite skills, it is even several times more convenient to conduct heat than the usual stove, so there is no need for blowing, and Aunt Li easily ignites and heats the stove.

Because the belly of this iron distiller is several times larger than the previous spliced "pot" furnace, it takes a long time to boil the water alone. The two add firewood and a blower, and chat in the courtyard. Although Lu Mengji has lived in Shita Village for only a month, the people in the village also know a little. When they are far away, they will have nothing to ask.

Although there are no major things in the village, trivial things are endless, and parents occasionally find it interesting. Aunt Li casually tells some jokes, but Lu Mengjian also listens them with relish.

"Do you remember that Zhong'er's father found you at Zhao Tieshu's house after you disappeared the day after you arrived in our village?" Aunt Li was talking, and suddenly asked mysteriously. Lu Mengjian was stunned. Thinking of the trouble caused by ignorance at that time, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty, so she nodded with shame.

"At that time, didn't a crazy girl look at each other with their second son? Hey, I didn't think about it. These two really dealt with it. A few days ago, the crazy girl's family came to her and said that they had come to find her daughter. As a result, they married her silently. At that time, her face changed. However, looking back, it was fortunate that the girl could find a second son. As a result, Zhao Tieshu made a matchmaker, and the two families got married from then on. If Speaking of matchmakers, Meng Jian, you are a big matchmaker!" Aunt Li smiled and made Lu Mengjian blush.

It was not a glorious thing, but it became a good thing in Aunt Li's mouth. Lu Mengjian couldn't wait to find a seam to get in. Suddenly, he thought of what others said about Aunt Duck's temper, so he said with a little doubt: "I didn't expect that his mother would still open it. Isn't it the two people who agreed with his mother at the beginning."

When Aunt Li heard this, she curled her mouth and shook her head. She lowered her voice and said, "Tut, I think her mother is not as good as Zhao Tieshu. At the beginning, she accepted this marriage, but after that, she always muttered behind her back that it was Zhong's father's provocative and made her not come to the stage. This crazy girl has lived in their house for a long time. I heard that her mother was quite good to the crazy girl at the beginning, but later she couldn't do it. Especially after the wedding, Alas, she ordered the child to do things every day. In case something goes wrong, she will even beat and scold her. It's really pitiful. Unfortunately, that girl's brain is not good, and she doesn't dare to tell anyone when she is beaten. The second-headed man is also not smart. Usually, she can't even take care of herself, so she can protect her daughter-in-law. Poor..."

Lu Mengjian only knew one before and didn't know the other. How could she think that Aunt Duck was such a temperament? Although she got up from herself and completed the marriage with a crazy girl, she heard that the crazy girl suffered like this in her mother-in-law's house, and she still couldn't bear it, so she sighed and said nothing.

I think Aunt Li is also sad. She turned to this topic and talked about herself again. "But when it comes to being a mother-in-law, is it possible that once a woman becomes a mother-in-law, she will become a bad person? It's really hard to say!"

"Auncle Li, isn't it Zhong'er's grandmother who made things difficult for you again?" Lu Mengjian knew that Aunt Li's mother-in-law was difficult to meet, and remembered the scene of Aunt Li crying in front of him that day, so he asked with concern.

"It's not difficult, but every time I go to that place, I always feel sad. After you left, my sister-in-law still stayed at Zhong's grandmother's house and refused to leave. She thought it was not as comfortable as herself. After a long time, the old lady is naturally not happy. After all, there are more guests at home, and she always needs to spend time preparing for food and drinks. But Zhong'er's grandmother's family has ten thousand acres of land in spring. Because her sister-in-law came back, she has long been delayed the time of planting. What's more, there are still some chickens and ducks to feed at home, and her sister-in-law refuses to reach out after she comes back. It all fell on me and Zhong'er's father. The more Aunt Li thought about it, the more angry she became. As she spoke, she shed tears.

"That's all. We worked hard to help his family, and he wouldn't even say a word of thanks. Although our Zhong'er has now worshipped the seventh uncle as his teacher, he just went to study and still had to go back to his home to eat and sleep. Unexpectedly, his family was not even willing to give him a hot bun to eat. Zhong'er was so hungry that he could only go to the backyard neighbor's house to ask for something to eat. When I went to ask about this, Zhong'er's grandmother was still virtuous, saying that the ancestor Mengyin had accumulated eight lifetimes and asked Uncle Qi to take Zhong'er to study medicine. Since she was an apprentice, she should let the master take care of it, and said that people who went out as an apprentice were all like this. Do you think this is human words? The seventh uncle didn't mention any conditions, so he taught us loyal medical skills. We didn't have time to be grateful, but his grandmother was so shameless... If this came to Uncle Seven, they wouldn't know what to think of us..."

"How can there be such an unreasonable person in the world," Lu Mengjian said angrily. Seeing Aunt Li crying, she quickly handed over a handkerchief, took Aunt Li's shoulder and comforted her softly. "She is so uninconsidered of you, why bother to do odd jobs for her family? Auntie, I think you are too good/sexual to be bullied by others. In my opinion, there is no way for you to endure like this. You have also seen what she does to Zhong'er. Anyway, you have to think about your child. You can't let Zhong'er eat a meal.

"What can I do? Zhong'er's father has always been filial and has always been obedient to his parents. Zhong'er's grandmother is not good to me and Zhong'er, but after all, she is still the mother of my child's father. After all, blood is stronger than water. Even if you don't think about it, you have to think about Zhong'er's father, so even if there are all kinds of grievances, I I have to stand it." Aunt Li has always put importance on Li Dazhuang's ideas. She has always given Li Dazhuang enough face in front of outsiders. She has almost never quarreled and blushed. At most, she just closed the door and lowered her voice and quarreled a few words. Therefore, everyone in Shita Village knows that Li Dazhuang and his wife love the old and the young, but who knows the sadness in it is sad.

Although Aunt Li is full of grievances, she can only bear it alone. Zhong'er is still young, but her mother's heart is suffering, and Li Dazhuang has never comforted her with a few words without pain.

"Auncle Li, I'm sorry to make a presumptuous opinion. If it really doesn't work, do you and Uncle Li come to live with me with Zhong'er, do you think it?" After Lu Mengjian finished speaking, she saw Aunt Li stop crying and stunned on the spot.
