The pastoral life of the grass tribe chief

As Lu Yao was talking to his grandmother, they heard footsteps outside.

The grandfather and grandson looked up and saw that Lu Liguo and his wife had appeared in the bamboo grove and were walking towards the frog pond.

Due to the angle, and the fact that the grandfather and grandson were sitting on the ground, the grandfather and grandson could see the couple, but the couple could not see the grandfather and grandson.

The aunt seemed to want to call out, but her husband stopped her.

"Uncle, Aunt, we're here."

Lu Yao stood up and said.

The couple walked towards the grandmother and grandson with smiles on their faces.

"Why did you come here in such hot weather?"

Grandma saw that the couple's hair was wet from the heat, and while she complained a little, she was mostly concerned.

When the couple were young, they were physically strong and not afraid of the heat. However, after moving to the county town, they became increasingly afraid of the heat by staying in air-conditioned rooms every day, and could not stand even a little bit of heat.

"After moving back to the village, I often go out for walks and I'm not as afraid of the heat as before."

"I just had a cup of snake tongue grass and mung bean soup, it's much more refreshing now."

As Lu Liguo spoke, he took out a tissue and wiped the stone next to his wife.

At the same time, the aunt wiped the stone next to her husband with a tissue, and then the couple sat down together.

Lu Yao smiled silently, thinking of his parents.

His parents' lifestyles became more and more similar, naturally and without any affectation, and even their appearances became more and more alike.

"Is there something stuck to us?"

Seeing their nephew laughing, the couple thought they had something stuck to them, so they stood up and patted themselves, their reactions and actions exactly the same.

"No, I just suddenly realized that you two are like each other's shadows, inseparable, and your reactions and actions are so in sync, it's enviable."

Lu Yao said sincerely.

What he admired most were the elderly couples in the village who supported each other through thick and thin.

They argued incessantly about family burdens and children's education, some even nearly getting divorced, and some argued their whole lives. But after decades of ups and downs, they are still together, which is admirable in itself.

Lu Yao most envied Lu Jiming's parents. They didn't have a passionate love story, rarely argued after marriage, and rarely hit their children. They lived a simple and peaceful life until old age. It was very comfortable to be with them, and there was no psychological burden at all.

"Only you guys treat your uncle like a treasure. In my eyes, he's just a difficult young master to please."

"Don't laugh at me, but the reason I married your uncle, besides because he's handsome, is because your grandfather has many mountains and lots of firewood to burn. When I go back to my parents' home, I can carry two loads of firewood for them to burn."

"Sigh, I only found out after I married into the family that your uncle had the temper of a spoiled young master. He expected to be waited on hand and foot. But because he was handsome and there was plenty of firewood in the house, I could only swallow my anger."

"After I met you, Brother Dawang, I completely gave up and had no choice but to follow you wherever you went."

My aunt complained, but her face was full of smiles.

"If you hadn't married me, you wouldn't be living such a good life."

Lu Liguo was unconvinced.

"I'm living a good life because of my children, not because of you. If I relied on you, I'd be starving by now."

Aunt said.

"Without me, could you have given birth to so many wonderful children?"

"My uncle said smugly."

"Old man, you're not serious."

Aunt laughed and scolded.

"Your generation valued looks too? I thought only our generation did."

"It seems that from ancient times to the present, no matter the era, being handsome has always been advantageous."

Lu Yao expressed his feelings.

"The love of beauty is human nature."

"Men can't move their legs when they see a beautiful woman."

"Women can't take their eyes off handsome men."

"Your aunt likes to watch videos of handsome men."

Luli National Highway.

"Uncle, aren't you jealous?"

Lu Yao asked with a smile.

Why should I be jealous?

"No matter how many handsome men there are, they are all people your aunt can't have. The person sleeping next to your aunt is still me."

Lu Liguo smiled smugly.

Lu Yao gave him a thumbs up.

Grandma and Auntie smiled too.

"Uncle, I was just talking to Grandma about going on a trip. My uncle invites you to stay at his place for a few days every year."

"This year, my uncle plans to spend the Dragon Boat Festival in Guangzhou. You should also go to Guangzhou to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival and watch the dragon boat races."

Lu Yao's uncle owns apartments in major cities in the Greater Bay Area, so he can stay wherever he wants to travel without having to stay in hotels.

"Your uncle can't make the decision."

Lu Liguo gets angry whenever he talks about his younger brother. A grown man living with two women's approval is a disgrace to the Lu family.

"He can't make the decision; Grandpa can."

"My sister-in-law is a person who cares about her reputation. Since Grandpa spoke up, she had no choice but to agree, no matter how unwilling she was."

"You don't need to worry about having conflicts with your sister-in-law and her daughter. They will definitely find an excuse not to go to Huacheng."

"We can also visit my aunt and her family while we're at it."

The younger sister-in-law and her daughter knew perfectly well that the family had a lot of opinions about them. Every time their uncles, brothers, nephews, or nieces went to their uncle's place, the mother and daughter would find an excuse to go out.

Since we don't get along, out of sight, out of mind—it's better for everyone.

"Okay, have your grandfather talk to your uncle tonight."

The three elders were still hesitant, but when they heard that they were going to Lu Yao's aunt's house, they immediately agreed.

Lu Yao returned to the convenience store with the three elders, where the madmen and the others were drinking tea and chatting.

The old man is still busy and having a great time.

"Uncle Guo, why don't you also set up a table here to take pulses and treat patients?"

The madman said to Lu Liguo.

"I haven't treated anyone for many years, I don't have the energy for it."

Lu Liguo didn't really value the family's medical skills. If he weren't the eldest son and didn't dare to disobey his grandfather's authority, he wouldn't want to inherit the family's medical skills either, as it was too much work.

Therefore, he did not force his descendants to learn if they were unwilling.

The aunt wanted to say something, but ultimately didn't.

"Lu Yao, I'm leaving now. Let's have dinner together sometime."

Luo Shaofei added Lu Yao on WeChat and went back.

Around 4 p.m., the number of swimmers gradually decreased.

Lu Yao and his team also took the time to rest and prepare, as a peak period would arrive after dinner.

Lu Yao took a moment to check his WeChat messages.

One of the messages was from Luo Shaofei, saying that there was a red envelope inside the apple he sent, and that he should remember to receive it.

Lu Yao returned to Wumutang, where Wang Xiurong was harvesting white flower snake tongue grass.

"By the way, at noon, my brother-in-law, Lü Xing, brought over a box of apples and a bag of grapes, saying it was to thank you."

"I was afraid the grapes would spoil, so I put them in the refrigerator."

When Wang Xiurong saw her youngest son return, she told him.

Many people had mentioned to her that her youngest son had noticed Lü Xing's high blood sugar, which is why she was able to remember Lü Xing's name.

Lu Yao walked into the living room, where a box of Fuji apples was placed on the coffee table.

He opened the box, and inside was a large red envelope. Upon opening it, he found a full 1888 yuan inside.

It's probably because Luo Shaofei was afraid he wouldn't accept it, so he didn't transfer the money directly, but instead sent a large red envelope, which also showed more sincerity.

"Mom, please keep this money."

Lu Yao handed the red envelope to his mother.

"Did Lu Xing's brother-in-law give this to you?"

Wang Xiurong immediately realized what was happening.

"Um."

Lu Yao took a few apples and a large bunch of grapes to his grandparents.
