It gets dark early in the winter in the Northeast, and it gets dark around 3:30 to 4:00.

Lu Zhenshan was wearing a gray sweater, sitting cross-legged on the earthen kang, eating melon seeds in his mouth, and kept glancing out of the window because his son said he would bring his partner back today.

For this reason, on the phone before, he repeatedly asked Lu Yan how things were going with his partner, and he was thinking about how many red envelopes he should give.

I originally prepared two hundred, but later I heard that I was going to drive back in the girl's car, so I added another three hundred.

During 06 and 07, the living expenses of an ordinary college student are only 6,800 per month, so he thought he could afford this red envelope.

Zhang Xiulan was naturally a little distressed, but she was weak-tempered and had no ideas, and could only say nice things to the wind.

I am busy here, taking out the frozen pork in the warehouse and putting it away, picking up the carp I bought, and yesterday I bought a handful of leeks from the vegetable store in the countryside. I have washed them and cut them into sections. I will prepare them when my son gets home.

Can fry eggs in a pan.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhang Xiulan said, "How about I serve the ribs first?"

Lu Zhenshan glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "Wait a little longer. It's not past twelve o'clock. Did you just finish eating in Sanjiang? They're not hungry even if you cook early!"

Zhang Xiulan didn't say anything else. Seeing that her husband had eaten two of the oranges on the plate, she hurriedly went to get two more!

At this time, he suddenly heard the door ring, and Lu Zhenshan hurriedly put on his slippers and went to the ground. The person who came in was the son of the second brother's family, Lu Tao, Lu Yan's cousin.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he had a pair of big, lively eyes. When he saw Lu Zhenshan's approach, he looked stunned.

"Ah, why do you still need to pick me up, uncle?"

Lu Zhenshan patted Lu Tao on the head and said with a smile: "It's a beautiful idea. Have you finished your homework?"

Lu Tao chuckled and said that he was almost finished writing the sentence!

Seeing a table on the floor of the main room, with melon seeds, candies, and fruits on several plates, I took an orange in my hand and said with a smile, "Pretty good, when will my brother get home?"

The Lu Zhenshan brothers are relatively harmonious, and the children of the younger generation below are also very close to each other. However, the age difference is slightly larger, so there is not much contact between them.

"The road here is not easy to drive. Is your brother driving too slowly?"

Lu Tao was surprised, "Why are you driving back? Who's driving?"

Lu Zhenshan didn't know whether he should be proud or ashamed. He thought for a moment and said, "Your brother belongs to his partner's family!"

Lu Tao, who was still young, could not digest this information for a while, and was stunned for a long time without saying anything.

At this time, she suddenly saw the car lights shining on her window. Zhang Xiulan, who was sitting on the stool, stood up immediately, grabbed the hanging cotton coat and put it on her body and said, "Oh, I'm in the hospital!"

Lu Zhenshan said to Lu Tao: "You guys, go ahead and greet me!" Then he put on his cotton-padded shoes and the cotton-padded clothes he had prepared long ago and went out.

Seeing a white Audi parked in the courtyard, Lu Zhenshan was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know the brand or classification of the car, he still knew about Audi.

The person my son is looking for has good family conditions!

While he was thinking about it, Lu Yan had already parked the car and brought a very handsome girl in front of him. Lu Yan called dad, and Ruan Xiaoxiao called uncle.

Lu Zhenshan felt very dignified for a moment and greeted him to enter the house.

It’s freezing cold in the Northeast in January, but luckily the house is warm.

After entering the house, Zhang Xiulan hurriedly said: "Hurry up and get on the kang to warm yourself up!"

Ruan Xiaoxiao glanced at Lu Yan with some restraint, who had already taken off her shoes and got on the kang. She took off her shoes in the same manner, and went up and found that it felt pretty good, more comfortable than some buildings with poor heating.

After chatting for a while, another person came over, all from the neighbors. They saw an Audi parked in the Lu's courtyard and came in to take a look. Fortunately, they all said a few words and left after a while.

Ruan Xiaoxiao was a little tired after riding in the car for a day, so Lu Yan took her to the cabin to rest.

Ruan Xiaoxiao suddenly asked in a low voice, where is the toilet?

"In the garden, I'll take you there. It's cold outside, so wear more clothes!"

To be honest, if there is anything about living in rural areas in Northeast China that he has never adapted to. The only thing he has to do is go to the toilet in winter, which is really freezing and panicking!

Ruan Xiaoxiao hurriedly said no, it’s not easy to ask someone to accompany you for such a thing, even if it’s a partner.

After getting dressed and opening the back door of the house, the howling north wind blew in instantly and almost pushed Ruan Xiaoxiao back. The girl almost cried!

It was Lu Yan who opened the door and watched him halfway through.

After returning, Ruan Xiaoxiao lay on the kang in the hut, covered with a quilt, and closed her eyes to rest.

Lu Yan entered the door, saw her open her eyes, and said, "Stay here tonight, and tomorrow we will drive to the county town, play there for a few days, and then send you back!"

After hearing this, Ruan Xiaoxiao sat up immediately and said with a smile: "Really, that's great!"

Lu Yan added: "The conditions in the countryside are poor. I feel sorry for you. I plan to stop letting my parents farm next year and let them move to Sanjiang or Bincheng!"

Ruan Xiaoxiao smiled: "It's quite good, this fire kang is so warm!"

Lu Yan touched his head again before getting up and going to the kitchen.

By now all the neighbors had left, and the gate to the courtyard was closed, leaving only a small door unlocked.

Lu Zhenshan and Zhang Xiulan were busy cooking. There were six dishes in total, and most of them were ready at the moment.

"Are you hungry, son?" Lu Zhenshan asked.

Lu Yan smiled, "I'm not hungry. I had lunch with my classmates in Sanjiang City!"

Zhang Xiulan said: "It's quite tiring after driving for a day!"

Lu Yan smiled: "I'm okay, I don't feel anything!"

Zhang Xiulan asked in a low voice, "Son, how much does it cost to drive this car?"

Lu Yan said: "I don't know, maybe hundreds of thousands!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiulan almost lost her grip on the plate in her hand and said, "A car worth more than 100,000 yuan is just for you two kids to drive so far?"

Lu Yan smiled: "Hey, it doesn't matter. After two years, I will buy you a car and let my dad drive it!"

Lu Zhenshan said, "This kid, if you can do it, buy me a car to drive!"

Lu Yan said: "Then if I really buy it, can't you drive it?"

Lu Zhenshan smiled: "Of course I drove it. My son bought it to honor me. I dare to drive it no matter how good it is!"

"Then it's settled. Dad, when you have nothing to do this year, get a driver's license and don't spend money on it. Go to a driving school and learn it hard. That thing is different from the tractor you drive!"

Lu Zhenshan couldn't laugh or cry, so he said, "What a naughty kid!"

At about six o'clock in the evening, six dishes were prepared for a table. There were stewed fish, ribs, scrambled eggs with leeks, stewed chicken with hazel mushrooms, fried spring rolls and a cold dish.

Lu Yan, who had been eating takeout all year round in the canteen, suddenly felt quite appetizing, and so did Ruan Xiaoxiao.

The four people took stools and sat down. Lu Zhenshan asked everyone to fill up the wine first, then took out a red envelope from under the TV cabinet and handed it to Ruan Xiaoxiao.

"Come on, kid, it's our first time meeting you. The conditions here are poor and we haven't prepared anything!"

Ruan Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "No need, uncle and aunt, it's already fine!"

Lu Yan said from the side: "Keep it!"

Ruan Xiaoxiao was naturally willing to accept the red envelope, so she didn't give in. She said sweetly, "Thank you, uncle and aunt!"

We chatted while eating the whole meal, and we didn’t stop until almost eight o’clock.

After a while, Lu Yan took Ruan Xiaoxiao and walked around his grandfather's and uncle's houses with gifts before driving to the county town.

On the way, I couldn't help but ask: "By the way, how much did my dad give you in the red envelope?"

"One thousand yuan, I didn't expect to give you so much. You said they usually live frugally."
