As the only roast duck restaurant here, business must be very good.
Lu Daniu was wearing a patched coarse cloth shirt, which made him look out of place compared with the well-dressed guests in the hall. He was restless, as if there were nails under his buttocks, and he would move from time to time.
"Here comes the roast duck." The waiter brought the roast duck over and said, "Dear guests, please use it slowly."
"Daniu, try it." Mu Siyu greeted Lu Daniu.
Lu Daniu smiled dryly: "Thank you, I have benefited from Mrs. Yi today. I have never been to such a good store in my whole life."
"You will go to better stores in the future. Daniel is still young, so you have to have confidence in yourself."
Mu Siyu took a bite of the roast duck. The taste was so-so, not amazing, but not unpalatable.
The roast duck here is whole, not sliced. However, each place has its own way of eating it, so it’s not surprising to see this.
Lu Yi pulled off the duck leg and handed it to Mu Siyu.
Mu Siyu didn't even raise her eyelids: "No, you can eat it! I don't like eating legs."
Lu Daniu looked at the two of them.
That weird atmosphere appeared again.
Seeing that she didn't pick it up, Lu Yi put it in Lu Daniu's bowl.
"Brother Yi, you can eat it!" Lu Daniu refused.
Lu Yi glanced at Lu Daniu.
Lu Daniu honestly took the roast duck leg and started to chew on it.
"What are your plans later?" Lu Yi asked.
"Miss Li will only come back in the afternoon. I will go to Li's house later to see if she is back," Mu Siyu said calmly.
"I have an errand in the afternoon, so I can't accompany you."
"You don't need to accompany me, I can do it myself."
Lu Yi saw her eating slowly and answering his questions calmly. She looked no different from usual, but he knew she was having trouble.
Is it because of that woman just now?
"I will take care of that woman." Lu Yi took a piece of meat to her again.
Mu Siyu took the piece of meat back and said, "Oh."
She wasn't actually that angry, she just looked a little unhappy.
Is she jealous?
No, no, no! This is the territorial consciousness at work. After all, this man is still her nominal husband and the father of her two children. She will inevitably be unhappy when she sees other women eyeing him.
After thinking about it this way, she raised her head and raised a smile towards him: "I will come to you in the afternoon after I finish my work. If you have finished your errands by then, we will go back together."
Lu Yi: "..."
Weren't you happy just a moment ago? Why did it suddenly clear up again? This little woman's thoughts are really complicated.
Lu Daniu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mu Siyu finally had a smile on her face and her speech to Lu Yi returned to normal.
Mu Siyu put the roast duck head into Lu Yi's bowl: "Eat more, you work so hard every day on errands, it's a good supplement."
“Duck feet are also good.”
“The duck wings are pretty good too.”
Finally, he pulled out a big piece of duck meat and put it into Lu Daniu's bowl: "Eat more, Danniu, I'm going to trouble you again today."
Lu Daniu looked at what was in Lu Yi's bowl, then looked at what was in his own bowl, and felt something was wrong.
Lu Yi was helpless.
I am so angry that I am holding back my bad feelings!
After coming out of the roast duck restaurant, they first sent Lu Yi to go on errands. When he got out of the oxcart, Mu Siyu said, "Daniu, let's go!"
Lu Yi: "..."
Looking at the figure leaving the dust, he frowned rarely.
It seems that Mrs. Chen must be dealt with as soon as possible. This kind of thing cannot happen again. Otherwise, if the little woman torments him like this, his days of purity will be over.
"Sister-in-law Yi, are you still angry?" Lu Daniu asked.
"No, how could I be angry? Just kidding!" Mu Siyu smiled: "The sun is shining today, everything is so beautiful, I will not be angry for a widow!"
At the door of Li Mansion, the doorkeeper shook his head: "Miss will not be back today."
"Didn't you say you would come back in the afternoon?" Mu Siyu was confused.
"I'm temporarily delayed because of something. I won't be back today." The servant said, "If you have anything important to do, just come back tomorrow."
Mu Siyu was about to leave when a maid suddenly walked out. The maid said, "Are you Mrs. Lu?"
Mu Siyu nodded: "Yes. This girl is..."
"This slave is the maid next to the young lady. The young lady said before leaving that if Mrs. Lu wants to hand over the drawings, just hand them over. She will take a look at them when she comes back."
Mu Siyu hesitated for a moment, then handed over the picture: "Then I'll trouble you girl."
"You're welcome. This is the slave's responsibility." The slave girl nodded and went in with the drawings.
"Shall we go to the county government now?" Lu Daniu asked.
"No, I'm going to check out the private schools in the town." Mu Siyu said: "Shaoyu and my brother want to go to school, so we have to find out about the private schools. I know there are three private schools in the town, so I want to see what the difference is.
"
"Shaoyu and Han are lucky." Lu Daniu's eyes were filled with envy. "If I had brother Yi and sister-in-law as capable as me, I could help take care of Tietou."
Lu Daniu did not get married, but Lu Erniu did marry a wife. The woman was a refugee. She lived in Lu Erniu's house for two years and fell in love with Lu Erniu. However, not long after giving birth to Tietou, the woman ran away with someone else.
.
The Lu brothers are famous strong men in the village, and they are also famous poor people in the village. The two brothers also have an old woman who is blind and can't do anything, so they have to take care of her.
There is a blind old woman in the family and a son who is a loser. Which good girl from the family is willing to marry her? No, life is very tight for the two brothers, and the family is always in chaos.
"You brothers will do well. God will never treat anyone who works hard." Mu Siyu comforted. "If I take this job, I will inevitably ask your brothers for help. The wages are easy to negotiate."
"Then our brothers will follow my sister-in-law." Lu Daniu giggled.
After comparing the three private schools, Mu Siyu made a decision in her mind. She planned to wait until Lu Yi came back to discuss it. After all, he was more experienced in this area.
"Is Lu Yi at the county government office?" Mu Siyu came to the county government office and asked the handyman there.
"The magistrate took him out." The clerk said, "Shu Li said that if he saw his wife, he would go back later today."
"Oh." Mu Siyu smiled: "Thank you, brother."
He said and stuffed two pennies into his pocket.
The handyman didn't have much status, but he didn't expect to receive a reward, and the smile on his face became much more sincere.
Lu Daniu drove the bullock cart back to the village.
It was he who returned the oxcart and sent a jar of wine to the village chief.
"Daniu, what benefits have you gained from going out with the man from Lu Yi's family all day long?" Someone said angrily: "You might as well do your work in the fields honestly and contribute to the braised pork workshop we run."
"Isn't my brother helping the family? You don't use him less, right?" Lu Daniu said unhappily: "Don't think that I don't know what you are talking about. It's best not to let me and Brother Yi hear it. If I hear it,
I have to knock out your big teeth. If Brother Yi hears this, just wait and go to jail to eat! You don’t know Brother Yi’s temper? Even a tiger can’t eat his fists. You are better than a tiger?"
"What did we say? Who are we scaring? Lu Yi is so great, but he is just a scribe! Humph..."
