In winter, some people who were free gathered in groups of three or five in the village to sit by the fire. When they saw Tao Xing's family coming out of the village, everyone felt strange.

But there are also some smart ones.

For example, Mrs. Feng said: "Old Seven is back, and he and Tao Xing are engaged."

"Isn't this to discuss marriage?"

"But the seventh brother has gone to college. Can Lanlan still be interested in Tao Xing, who lives in the village? I don't think she would be interested."

As expected, they are sworn enemies. Even without meeting each other, Old Mrs. Feng can guess what Lanlan is thinking.

When Shen Wu, Xu Yin and others arrived, there were already many people in the Lu family.

It's lively.

When Old Mrs. Lu saw Tao Xing's family coming to her house, she frowned.

But the seventh one was quite enthusiastic: "Uncle, aunt, please sit down, I'll go get you some water."

The man whom Lu Xuan called Uncle Lao Shuan looked like a straightforward person: "No need, I came to ask you something today."

Very loud.

After all, there was a house where she lived. Lu Xuan and Xu Yin squeezed out a seat for her so that she could see everything clearly.

Old Mrs. Lu frowned. Lao Shuan's family was very poor, and she looked down on them. Now she still had this attitude: "How can you talk like that? Are you arguing?"

"When will the marriage between your son and my daughter be settled? Do you want to go back on your word?"

Old Mrs. Lu really wanted to regret it.

Her son was chosen by the whole village to go to college. In the future, he will be assigned a job and may even become an official. If her son was still in the village, it would be fine for Tao Xing, a girl, but people are different now. How can she be worthy of her son?

"Now that you bring it up..."

"Mom, don't talk nonsense." Before Mrs. Lu could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mr. Lu.

Although he was young, he looked at Tao Xing's family with great seriousness and said, "Uncle, aunt, Tao Xing and I were already engaged before I went to school. Both parties have written a marriage contract, but I am not yet 20 years old. In our country, men must be 20 years old and women must be 18 years old to get married."

"I'm not yet 20, and Tao Xing is not yet 18, so we can't get a marriage certificate."

Uncle Lao Shuan shook his head and waved his big, thick hand: "What's the point of having a certificate? You can just hold a wedding banquet at home. There are many people in our village who hold wedding banquets without a certificate. Your sixth brother is not old enough! How did he get married?"

This is quite true. Some people in Laoya Village don't even consider getting a marriage certificate. They just hold a banquet, invite relatives and friends, and with everyone witnessing, they're married.

But Lu Xuan is old enough, and Shen Wu is also old enough, and they have obtained the marriage certificate.

Others in the village echoed this, "That's how everyone came here. We can't let Tao Xing wait for you for several years, right?"

"That's it."

……

There are gossipers all around, and they offer their opinions from time to time.

Shen Wu discovered that Old Seven was not influenced by the villagers at all: "What everyone said makes sense, but I'm still in college, and it's not good to openly disobey the law."

"Then why should I go to university? How can I be worthy of the people who elected me and the country who cultivated me?"

Lu Laoqi said righteously: "But I'm not going to let Tao Xing wait for me in vain. I've already studied for half a year, and there's only one and a half years left. When I graduate, Tao Xing and I will get married."

As he said that, Lao Qi looked at Tao Xing and said, "Tao Xing, can you think about it?"

"The country now recommends late marriage. I read and write every day, and I know that it is not good to get married too early, and it is not good to have children too early, as it will damage the body... We should wait until we are mature both mentally and physically before getting married and managing our own small family."

It's true that what Old Seven said was well-reasoned and not nonsense, it was quite scientific. Shen Wu agreed with what he said from the bottom of her heart, but she also felt that there was something strange about it.

Shen Wu thought so, not to mention Tao Xing, who was only seventeen years old and the same age as Lao Qi, and nodded with a red face.

"Mom and Dad, I think what Brother Lu Ming said makes sense. Let's wait a little longer. I still want to stay at home for a few more years..."

When Shen Wu came, she was looking for the big melon.

However, it was not as big a news as imagined. His daughter was willing to get married later, and what Lu Laoqi said was reasonable and well-founded. Uncle Laoshuan was no match for the teenage Lu Laoqi except for his loud voice.

In the end, everyone dispersed, gossiping in low voices.

Shen Wu left late.

Lu Xuan checked the door lock of the room where they lived and saw signs of prying on it. He frowned slightly.

Before he could find someone, Li Ping explained: "It was your eldest brother who wanted to live in your room, but I stopped him from going in."

"Your eldest brother's brain was caught in the door."

Lu Xuan put down the lock with a sullen face, but since Li Ping had already said it on her own initiative, he didn't pursue the matter any further.

Li Ping smiled awkwardly: "It's true, we don't have enough space in our house. We have three daughters and I'm pregnant with another one..."

"Didn't it just take less than half a year for the worm to be born?" Shen Wu was surprised.

Li Ping frowned, "We call it Yinlong."

Shen Wu...

Looking at Xu Yin who was standing not far away, Xu Yin couldn't help laughing when she heard her words.

Shen Wu was a little annoyed. When the name of Li Ping's youngest daughter came out, she and Xu Yin were shocked. They were hoping that the son their sister would bring would be a dragon, but it would be a bug. They kept thinking about the son who had not yet appeared, and felt that it was really unlucky for the daughter to be born in her belly.

Normally, she never mentioned this name in front of others, whether it was Yinlong or Yinchong. The first time she said it was to Li Ping herself.

Li Ping emphasized that her third daughter was named Yinlong.

"I'm in good health. I can't help it. The babies keep coming one after another." He glanced at Shen Wu and Xu Yin's stomachs and said, "Why haven't you two made any progress yet?"

Lu Xuan was impatient to listen to this.

"gone."

Shen Wu's pregnancy was not announced to the public. Only a few people knew about it. She didn't want to tell Li Ping about it, so she smiled and said, "Instead of keeping an eye on our house, why don't you keep an eye on second brother's? Anyway, second brother won't be back for a while. If you really move in, can your parents still kick you out?"

……

When the second child comes back, he will be used to living in the eldest child's house and will not give it up easily.

The wicked Shen Wu would be very happy to see the second brother come back and have no place to live.

But before they left the Lu family yard, Lu Laoqi came after them: "Third brother, fourth brother."

He also looked at Shen Wu and Xu Yin: "Third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, I didn't recognize you last time, please don't blame me."

"This is the peanut cake I bought from the provincial capital. I wanted to give it to you when I invited you to my house for dinner, but I didn't expect that you... just happened to be here. I'll give it to you now."

"I've only been away from home for half a year, and I didn't expect so many things to happen...home doesn't feel like home anymore."

As he spoke, he brought up two packages of pastries wrapped in white paper, covered with red paper, and tied with hemp rope.

The seventh one was not given to Lu Xuan, but instead to Shen Wu and Xu Yin, who took it back.

Lu Xuan felt a little strange about this younger brother, at least he was not as close to him as the sixth brother.

Peanut cake is crispy and sweet. It’s okay to eat a few bites at first, but you’ll get sick of it if you eat too much.

Xu Yin suddenly kicked Shen Wu's foot.

Shen Wu turned her head and looked at her blankly——
