Chapter 48 Chapter 48

Lu Nong whispered to remind Pei Shenan, “Don’t forget that our two eldest sons are still upstairs.”

Pei Silian: “……” is not old enough to forget the child that part.

Pei Silk An led Lu Nong up to the second floor, once upstairs, I heard the sound of the radio coming from a room, listen carefully to the opera, Lu Nong could not understand what was being sung, but it happened that the words were sung:

“The original beautiful flowers and reds bloom all over, like this are paid with broken wells and decrepit walls. Good time and beautiful scenery of the day, then enjoy the pleasure of who’s yard ……”

Pei Jingan also stopped and listened for a long time, “It’s Mr. Mei’s Dream of the Garden.”

“It’s good to bring your brother to receive some art training, our little Zheng has made progress.” Lu Nong praised Pei Zheng, but in her heart, she wanted to listen to the radio when she got home, how could she forget that this era is full of famous artists? Lu Nong praised Pei Zheng, but in her heart, she thought that she would listen to the radio when she went home, forgetting that there were many famous artists in this era, and that she could have the closest contact with the works of the great gods.

Pei Jingan looked down at her, raised his hand and knocked on Pei Zheng’s door, the door immediately came from the messy sound, after a long time Pei Zheng came to open the door.

Lu Nu looked at him suspiciously, “What’s taking you so long? Where’s my brother?”

Pei Zheng scratched his hair and looked at the sky and the ground just not at Lu Nong and Pei Yinan.

At this time the cubs bar bar bar ran over a hug Lu Nong, “Mom …… brother bleaching!”

Lu Nong fixed his eyes to see, all of a sudden a tiger’s body shock, only to see Gu Xiaohuai dressed in a small trailing floor flower dress, head tied with two small chirps towards the sky, Nezha head, face coated with grease and powder, bloody mouth, cheeks, two groups of red rouge like a monkey’s buttocks, the forehead is also dotted with a large red eyebrow mole, how a “beautiful” word.

“……” Talent.

Lu Nu said quietly, “A brother is for fun, fun, right?”

“Not bad …… ah shucks, no, of course not, don’t frame me, is Gu Xiaohuai himself holding a picture of Xiao Su sister drooling good looking, I just dress him up, you see how happy he is.” Pei Zheng tried his best to defend his scheming stepmother, and he was almost trapped.

Lu Nong ignored him and looked at Pei Yinan in a complicated manner, “Did you expect this?”

Pei Silk An light “heh”, Pei Zheng heard his old father with a magnetic voice, scared numbly picked up Gu Xiaohuai and said, “I’ll take him to clean …… this time.”

“Go home first.” Pei Jingan stopped Pei Zheng’s movements.

“Huh? Not eating?” Pei Zheng was unsure, looking at his own father and scowling at Lu Nong.

Pei Jing’an hugged the cub and changed him into his own clothes, “What’s the waste of words, let’s go.”

Going downstairs, Pei Shenan greeted his sister-in-law, “Sister-in-law, we’re leaving first.”

“Hey, well, take your time on the road, let’s set up a time to reunite some day, your big brother must be very happy to know that you are now married to a wife.”

Feng Xiaoyuan was genuinely happy for Pei Silkuan, when she married into the Pei family, besides her husband, Pei Silkuan was the only one who extended a helping hand to him, she remembered it clearly.

Feng Xiaoyuan and her husband Pei Jingxing were in free love, she was originally a child bride of the landlord’s family, the landlord’s son died at a young age, Feng Xiaoyuan became their family’s maid, beaten twice a day, she could not bear the humiliation of the family’s not paying attention to run away.

Did not run a few days, the liberation of all of China, the landlords were defeated, Feng Xiaoyuan such women also got the opportunity to read and write, she is as eager as a sponge to learn hard to absorb the knowledge, in a certain army organized for the literacy of the people’s reading, she and her husband met.

Pei Jingxing is a very good person, like his name, “Jingxingxing Xingzhi, high mountains”, a gentleman like jade, integrity and openness.

He never disliked Feng Xiaoyuan’s origin, nor would he look down on her lack of culture, earnestly teaching everyone who wanted to learn, treating everyone patiently and carefully.

Feng Xiaoyuan went there the most often, but never dared to ask Pei Jingxing privately like others, she only dared to write down every word he taught her carefully, in her book and in her heart.

One day, when she was struggling with a cumbersome word, a hand took her pen and separated the words for her stroke by stroke.

“See?” He said.

There is an old poem about one word, and she and her husband are in love with one word.

Later they fell in love and got married, Pei Jingxing married him despite his family’s opposition, and knowing that his parents didn’t like her, he took her and moved out of the house completely.

Recalling the past, Feng Xiaoyuan was both sweet and emotional, if Pei Silian’s indifference was a sense of diaphragm presented by seeing through people’s hearts, then the indifference of the rest of Pei’s family to Feng Xiaoyuan was from the selfishness in human nature.

Pei’s father Pei’s mother Pei Jingxing arranged a match, naturally do not see the low-born Feng Xiaoyuan, Pei Mingxia think she is not worthy of her big brother, in Pei’s mother’s acquiescence to make things difficult for Feng Xiaoyuan at every turn.

Just like in order to control the cold and hard to tame Pei Silk An, Pei’s father and mother arranged for him to have Pei Yimei who grew up beside them.

Feng Xiaoyuan felt for a while that the Pei family’s old couple was trying to control her husband Pei Jingxing in the beginning, and marrying her meant that Pei Jingxing was out of their control, so they were panicked and angry, and relocated their anger to her.

Feng Xiaoyuan thought mockingly, if not to fulfill the filial piety for her deceased husband, she would have stopped coming back to this family, who would like to come back every year to endure Pei’s family treating her like an old mother?

******

After walking out of Pei’s house, Pei Zheng followed behind his own father which pot is not open to mention which pot: “Dad, do not eat at the grandparents’ house? My mom are gone ah ……”

Lu Nong thought, she just arrived at Pei’s home, Pei Zheng quite good at reading people’s eyes ah, people are also smart, in front of his own father has always known what to say what should not be said, how only a few days, it has become so naive?

Is it because of too little homework or too few laps run?

Pups at first obedient and coquettish nestled in the arms of his big brother stepfather did not dare to make a move, after a while may feel that there is no danger, stretched out two small hands hands to hold his stepfather’s neck, learn his brother to speak: “Ba, not …… gibberish, go?”

Pei Jingan was stunned and held him steady, “Uh-huh.”

Although Lu Nong was touched by this scene of father and son love, but she really could not bear to look at Gu Xiaohuai’s monkey ass face, she twisted her face, too hot eyes ……

Pei Zheng saw no one pay attention to him, and then up a moth, “rare vacation, home to stay more meaningless, we go home to pick up on the Wu Lou Lou go out to play it? I have long wanted to go ……”

He was so peaceful and happy that he didn’t know what was going on.

Pei Jingan looked sideways at Lu Nong beside him, “Want to go?”

As soon as she heard that she could go out to play, Lu Nong immediately blinked her eyes and quickly nodded, “Yes, yes, yes.”

Pei Jingan was adored by her eye-candy expression, his always taut face finally revealing a hint of a smile as he stretched out a hand to cover her eyes.

Back home, Wu Ma heard the sound of a car outside the courtyard and rushed out to see, “Why are you back here, didn’t you say you’d be back after dinner?”

Lu Neng circled around Wu Ma and said excitedly while holding her in her arms as she walked towards the house, “The situation has changed, Godmother, let’s hurry back and pack up for a trip!”

Mrs. Wu: “……”?

Pei Zheng also walked to the other side of Wu Ma with gusto, “Go north, Grandma Wu bring more thick clothes.”

Pei Jingan walked slowly at the end holding the cubs.

Back to the room, Lu Neng wants to bring too many things, go north north is too dry, to bring at least three types of cosmetics snow cream, hydration, sunscreen, repair, and shampoo; to bring toiletries, beautiful clothes and warm clothes, small inner, shoes, hats, umbrellas; small snacks to eat on the road; commonly used medicines ……

Things are packed out, but piled up on the ground, Lu Nu haphazardly stuffed into the suitcase, and finally the suitcase was stuffed to burst, there are still a lot left outside.

If Mrs. Wu were here, she’d say, “You’re a pretty girl, but you’re so unkempt.

At this moment, Wu Ma wasn’t there, and Pei Silk An looked at her with a no-nonsense look.

Lu Nu smiled awkwardly, who doesn’t have some small flaws?

She’s already so good looking, if she’s perfect in everything, will she let anyone else live?

Pei Silk An did not hurry to roll up his sleeves, took over Lu Nong’s position, opened the suitcases, and organized them one by one to put them back in.

Organized to the small inner, Lu Nong does not blush, but she felt as conservative sixties people should blush, she secretly glanced at Pei Silk An, this person face expression than she is more stable ……

Che, it’s true that you’re an old colorful man.

Lu Nu skimmed her lips and took Pei Yinan’s large sunglasses and put them on her face, covering half of her face.

By the time the two of them arrived downstairs with their suitcases, Pei Zheng was already waiting very impatiently, checking his watch every now and then.

See Lu Nong walked down from the stairs and picked up the cub who was chasing Xiaobai, and said to him in a serious tone, “Women are really troublesome, in the future, we must stay away from women.”

Lu Nu: “…… huh.” Have the ability to say it later in front of your wife?

“What about Bai?” Lu Neng asked.

“Don’t worry, I called Jiang Iu a long time ago and asked him to come and take the dog back for two days, it should be here soon.”

Pei Zheng chose Jiang Iu also has to pay attention to, Zhang Kaiping’s family all rely on Uncle Zhang’s salary alone to support, even people may not be able to raise a fine let alone a dog, it is not suitable; Shen Jiming’s mom is allergic to animal hair, their family is also not suitable; only Jiang Iu’s family, Jiang Iu, this person’s heart is as fine as hair, Jiang Iu’s mother and loving, Xiaobai in Jiang Iu’s family will not be worse than their own family.

Speak of the devil, Jiang Yi sneaked in the doorway and whistled at Pei Zheng, and froze, not daring to enter.

“…… “Pei Zheng was speechless, picking up the little white dog and walking out the door, “What are you doing?”

“Tsk,” Jiang Yu snatched the little white dog from Pei Zheng’s arms, “You’re so proud now that you’re not afraid of your dad or your stepmother? I’m afraid, okay?”

“Alright, say hello to Uncle Pei, Sister Lu Nong, Grandmother Wu and Little Gu Huai for me, I won’t go in, you get busy.” After saying that, he lifted the little white dog rua and rua, and walked away with a demented look on his face.

Pei Zheng: “……” was the day I reacquainted myself with my brother.

After getting all the luggage into the car, the family set off in one piece.

Lu Nong lamented that he could not imagine going back to the sixties to take a driving tour.

The further north you go, the more grass and trees there are, and it’s just entering fall, with golden leaves and dappled grass, patches of blooming wildflowers, dancing butterflies, and the occasional critter that leaps out of the grass and disappears again at a rapid pace.

In the evening they stopped by a farm, Pei Silk An reported his name, and after the man who watched the field made a phone call to whoever it was, he hastened to let go, and also got close to Pei Silk An for a while.

After entering the farm and driving a little longer on the wide road, a …… tractor came on the road.

Pei Shenan tugged his mouth as if trying to smile, pulled over to the side of the road, and chatted for a moment with the man who had jumped out of the tractor.

Lu Nu had been sitting in the car and didn’t hear exactly what they were saying, but the man seemed to glance toward the car with teasing eyes.

After a few moments, Pei Silk An got on the car, didn’t care about the tractor, and left the tractor behind his ass in a puff of smoke.

After about ten minutes of running, the jeep finally stopped next to a cabin, Pei Jingan pulled out the car keys and said, “Get off, rest here tonight.”

In front of the door of the cabin is a trickle of water, clear flow, behind the cabin is a birch forest, golden yellow fallen leaves spread over the entire forest, the setting sun’s afterglow sprinkled on the fallen leaves, with a bit of melancholy silence, the beauty of a painting.

Lu Nu was shocked by such an extremely impactful view.

“Good you Pei Silk An, promised to follow behind the tractor ass and wait for me to bring you in, but you’re good, patting your ass and leaving, raised me a mouth of dust, how to show off that your four wheels are faster than this three wheels of mine?”

The sound of a tractor rumbling got closer and a man cursed and jumped off the tractor.

“Yo, this is the younger sibling right, I’m old Wang, is this kid’s old squad leader, fifty-five years retired.” The old Wang squad leader was shocked by Lu Nong as he spoke, and turned his head to Pei Lien An and said, “Amazing ah, you’re marrying a goddess and coming back, aren’t you?”

Lu Nu smiled and pretended she was embarrassed by the compliment.

Pei Zheng just happened to hold the cubs down from the backseat, just happened to see Lu Nong shyly smile, goosebumps all over his body, whispered and asked the cubs: “Is your mom okay?”

“Is this …… Pei Zheng and your youngest son?”

Pei Jingan didn’t deny it.

“Good day, Uncle Wang.” Pei Zheng smiled and greeted Old Wang Banzai, whom he obviously knew.

The old Wang squad leader carefully measured Pei Zheng’s eyebrows and said, “Good boy, all grown up so big, I remember when you first came here at the age of eight you were only this big, you grew up really spirited, just almost more so than your father when he was young.”

He used his hand to gesture to his own waist, and then looked at Gu Huai, “This little one looks good, I look with my mother, not to mention that you two couples are better looking one than the other, and the children they give birth to are all beautiful ……”

Pei Jingan looked at Gu Huai thoughtfully.

Probably the old comrades visit to make the old Wang squad leader too excited, has been pulling Pei Silk An chatting about the past, and finally want to take him him to drink, Pei Silk An can not bear to refuse, instructed Pei Zheng to pack the luggage to the house, told Lu Nong house things can be used, then followed the old squad leader to go.

As soon as Pei Jingan left, Pei Zheng was like a wild horse that had taken off its reins, and after packing his luggage into the cabin, he copied the gun hanging on the wall of the cabin and ran towards the forest.

“……”

Lu Nong also want to go out to wave, she coveted that beautiful birch forest, but in the end the human nature has not been extinguished, not so heartless, pressed down the curiosity first and Wu Ma together to clean up the house.

The cabin was supposed to be inhabited by people all the time, the room was clean and dust-free, and there was water boiling on the stove, the vapor occasionally cracking the lid of the tin kettle and making a “plopping” sound.

Although it is a wooden house, the interior is fully furnished with food, with a kang next to the window, a bed rolled up on the kang, a cauldron, a stove and a tin kettle for boiling water on the side of the kang, and rice, flour, grain, and vegetables on a small table.

The kang was not small, it was wide and long enough for five big men to sleep on, and more than enough to sleep their family of five.

Lu Nong helped his godmother cook, little Gu Huai after a bumpy ride has long been sleepy, Wu Ma fed him something to eat, during the food Gu Huai was so sleepy that he fell asleep, Lu Nong carried him to the kang and let him lie down flat to sleep.

Tidy up the house, make dinner, put the kids to bed …… finally have time to go out and wave.

Lu Neng happily walked out of the hut and cupped a stream of water in his hand and took a sip, it was sweet and refreshing, delicious.

Lu Nu like a child who has never seen the world, play in the stream for a long time, and then into the heart into the birch forest, stepping on the golden yellow leaves, the feet issued a fine rustling sound. After walking for a while, Lu Nu unexpectedly found a hammock between two trees, I do not know if the owner of the cabin made, can be said to be very leisurely.

The people who live here are like hermits who have taken refuge in the world.

Lu Nu didn’t go any deeper, she lay down into the hammock and reached out to cover the harsh sunlight, closing her eyes and swaying as her brain emptied.

It wasn’t until a figure covered the sunlight above Lu Nong’s head that she opened her eyes, “Didn’t you go to drink with the old squad leader?”

Pei Shenan pulled Lu Nong up, “He had a temporary commitment.”

Lu Nu “Oh”, jumped off the hammock, fluttering the hem of the skirt to turn around, because she knew that she was going to go out on a trip, and no one would say anything, she deliberately wore a red dress today.

Red skirt bloomed in the golden yellow fallen leaves, like a bright flower in the forest, red skirt, snow-white skin, clear smile, reflected in the eyes of the people who came, but also to be able to remember a lifetime of images, right?

“Why don’t I dance for you?” Lu Nu smiled mysteriously.

Pei Shenan pulled Lu Nong up, but sat down on the hammock himself and said softly, “Good.”

Lu Nu stretched out two claws, downward than “yeah”, and then expressionlessly danced …… the crab dance.

Pei Silian: “……”

After the dance, Lu Neng looked at him with an expectant face and said, “How was it?”

It was the hottest dance on the internet before she crossed over, especially since the essence was all in the face, emphasis on the word – expressionless.

Pei Jingan rubbed his eyebrows, really can’t say in good conscience that the dance is beautiful, can only say, “…… Well, it’s very special.”

“Hahahahahahahaha indeed.” Lu Nu laughed out a goose call, sometimes Lu Nu always wanted to tease the serious Pei Yin An.

“Well, the dance is over, now it’s your turn, you sing to me.”

Lu Nu said rightfully.

Pei Jingan was helpless, knowing that she was being weird again, but didn’t refuse, but asked her, “What to sing? I can only sing military songs, do you want to listen?”

Lu Nu thought for a moment, “We’re in a birch forest now, why don’t we sing ‘Birch Forest’?”

As a Soviet folk song, “Birch Forest” was introduced to China in the fifties, and Pei Jing’an would have sung it.

“Okay,” Pei Ji-Ann cleared his throat, “ОтчеготаквРоссии берёзышумят……”

When “Birchwood” was first introduced into China there was no Chinese lyrics, people who read books in the 50’s and 60’s grew up learning Russian, and almost everyone could sing one or two lines of a song in Russian, so Pei Jing’an grew up in Russian as well.

His voice was low, and with this song, which already had a low and melodious tune, for a moment it actually made Lu Nong a bit intoxicated.

She sat down on her butt in the hammock next to Pei Shenan and hummed a tune along with him.

After singing “Birch Tree”, at Lu Nong’s strong request, Pei Silian sang “Quiet on the outskirts of Moscow” and “Hawthorn Tree” one after another, until Pei Zheng quietly passed by them holding a gun, and when Pei Silian shut up, Lu Nong was still a little bit unfulfilled.

What’s going on? Wait, Pei Zheng passed by with a gun in his hand ……

“What did you do?” Lu Nu shouted Pei Zheng sorrowfully like a spirit behind his back, for Pei Zheng’s bad behavior of going out to play on his own without them, Lu Nu was a million times more pained and decided that he couldn’t let this brat off easily.

Pei Zheng: “…… “Didn’t he say that he was talking about love with the old man? How can I still notice him!

I shouldn’t!
