Daughter-in-law, go home

13.

"I see, Grandpa." Mo Xiao replied.

When they got home, Lu Jianyu and the others had already returned home. Lu Jianyu and Lu Junwu were shaking the dirt off their shoes and patting their bodies.

Lu Jiuhang and the others are still at their cousin's house, discussing things for tomorrow.

"Xiaoyu, go out and pick some loofahs." Lu Jianyu's mother said.

"Oh, I'm going now." Lu Jianyu finished patting the soil, called Mo Xiao and walked out.Lu Junwu wanted to go back to sleep, but his sister refused, saying that he was too dirty.

Lu Junwu said: "Then I'll go to sleep on the sofa,"

"You'll dirty the sofa." Lu Junrou still disagreed, "You just came back from climbing the mountain, if you want to sleep, you should take a shower first."

Lu Junwu wanted to kneel down to his sister, but said helplessly, "Sister, am I still your real brother?"

"Ask my mother."

"........."

"Sister, you won. I'll go to Uncle's house for a walk, and I'll wash after dinner." The door must be closed tonight, otherwise Lu Jianyu will come running in again, and he won't have to sleep.Tomorrow, maybe I climbed halfway up the mountain and fell down.

In fact, Lu Junwu was too worried, and Lu Jianyu was also very tired, so he didn't want to disturb him tonight.

Lu Jianyu and Mo Xiao went to the vegetable field behind the house, and Lu Jianyu led him into the melon shed.Mo Xiao can't tell what is cucumber, what is zucchini, and what is water melon, loofah is easy to recognize.

"Lu Jianyu, what's the difference between cucumber and green cucumber?"

"Cucumbers are sold in the market, and this is the cucumber, fat and fat. Do you want to eat raw cucumbers? I'll pick one and dip it in salt for you to eat."

"Salt? Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious. Carambola can also be eaten with salt, but it's not in season yet." Lu Jianyu picked a few loofahs, went to the cucumbers, and picked one for him.

Lu Jianyu was not in a hurry to go back, he took Mo Xiao to the stone foundation where the fields and vegetable fields meet, sat down, and put the melons aside.Mo Xiao sat down on the other side and asked him, "Aren't you afraid that your mother will scold you?"

"Don't be afraid. When I grow up, my mother seldom scolds me. She scolded me a lot when I was young. Our brothers are very naughty."

"I can see it, but it's a pity I didn't see my eldest brother. How is your sister?"

"A wild child, he can do everything from climbing walls and trees, otherwise he wouldn't be a soldier."

Lu Jianyu looked at the sunset behind the house. He liked the evening here very much. Every time his mother asked him to come out to pick vegetables, he liked to sit here and watch the sun slowly set.Watching the sky slowly turn orange, becoming extremely gentle, watching the sky slowly turn black, and blending myself into the night.Watching the clouds floating in the sky during the day.At this very moment, I feel that I am very close to nature, and my mood is very peaceful.

"Going out with grandpa today, how is it going?"

"It's pretty good." Mo Xiao smiled.

"As long as you like it," Lu Jianyu pointed to Shi Ji on the side and said, "When I was a child, I really wanted to lie there and watch the clouds float in the sky."

"Aren't you afraid that you'll fall when you fall asleep?" The stone base there is more than one meter long. Although it's not high, it will definitely hurt if you fall. "Is it because it is mud, so you are not afraid?"

Lu Jianyu smiled: "The other side is the concrete floor. I haven't thought about this problem. It's too narrow there, and I haven't been able to lie on it."

"You can ask your cousin to try, she is thin." Mo Xiao looked at the bamboo forest next to the house, "Didn't you say to take me there to play? When are you going?"

"There, the Mid-Autumn Festival is fun there, and there are no people there now."

"What's in there?"

"Let's keep it a secret first, and I'll tell you later, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year are very fun there."

"Lu Jianyu, you are not afraid that I will sneak in."

"Don't be afraid, you will be very boring without me taking you."

"........"

The two sat like this, listening to the undulating sound of firecrackers, and watching the motorcycles passing by on the road, carrying children, hoes, and shovels.

"Do you like this place?" Lu Jianyu suddenly turned his head and asked him; "My brothers and sisters moved the bricks for the walls around here. My dad and my second uncle built them by themselves. We had a very hard time moving the bricks at that time."

"Are you still moving bricks?"

"We stacked nine turns, ten bricks, and moved them all at once. The next day, it was as if our hands had been hit with a stick, and we had to keep moving. We still didn't admit defeat."

"It's all do-it-yourself,"

"all"

"Then have you ever thought about it, if we are old and move back here, how will you explain our relationship, how will you explain that we are not married?"

"What does it matter to them whether we get married or not?"

"That's your folks, it's nothing to do with it, the people who watched you grow up and Fa Xiao who grew up with you."

"If it's hard to explain, let's go to a place where no one knows us, and save more money when we are young, so that we won't come back here and live in the city, okay, when the time comes we will adopt two more children It’s not about living our little days as usual.”

"But you like this place very much. Wouldn't it be great if you could come back here to live when you get old? Don't you want to come back?"

Lu Jianyu laughed again, "Daughter-in-law, one's heart should not be too big, one must be content. I like my hometown and here. Of course I am happy to move back when I am old, but I can't and don't be too persistent, right? I can be with you. When you are together, I don’t ask so much. I can’t eat what is in the bowl and look at what is in the pot. In that way, I work hard and you work hard. Besides, the eldest brother will definitely come back, we want to come back, we can come back anytime, As long as the house is still there, you can come back anytime."

"That's right." Mo Xiao didn't expect Lu Jianyu to think so clearly. Thinking of the old man's words, he couldn't help but respect their family. Where can we find such a family.

"Go back, my mother should scold me."

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Jianyu and the others went back, they saw Lin Xiujuan coming out, ready to find them in the vegetable field.

"Xiaoyu, why have you been there for so long? I'm just waiting for your loofah."

"Choose a good one for you."

"......" Lin Xiujuan couldn't see these melons, what's the good thing. "Why are you still picking cucumbers?"

"Mo Xiao said he wanted to eat."

"Then you peel it off."

"You can leave the skin unpeeled."

"It's better to cut it, let's go."

Lu Jianyu took the order, and after cutting it, Lu Junwu came over and snatched half of it, but Lu Jianyu dared not speak up, and divided half of Mo Xiao's piece.Mo Xiao wondered, when Lu Jianyu would give in to Lu Junwu, the sun really came out from the west.

What Lu Jianyu thought was that since his brother was harassed by him, he was in a bad mood. If he really got up and beat him up, grandpa couldn't save him, so it's better to hide from the wind.

When Mo Xiao smelled the aroma of his own food, he could also smell the aroma of the food next door, so he knew it was time to eat.Mo Xiao thought, is this the taste of home?

The next day, in the afternoon, Mo Xiao followed Lu Jianyu to worship the mountain.

They drove their own car, carrying his father and his second uncle, and there were hoes and other tools in the trunk of the car. His mother gave him a basket containing sacrificial supplies before he set off, and put them in the car together. up.

They drove to the back lane, joined the others, and set off together.On the mountains seen along the road, there are traces of firecrackers burning, leaving a lot of firecracker debris, and now there is still the undulating sound of firecrackers, stopping here, and ringing again there, and there are piles of firecrackers standing on every hilltop. The pile of people came back to worship their ancestors.

After Lu Jianyu and the others arrived, they stood by the car and waited for other cars. Lu Junwu went to carry some tools up the mountain. He was holding a box with some paper money and firecrackers in it.The people on their side went up the mountain one after another, and the folks who hadn't seen each other for a long time were gossiping about their family affairs. Occasionally, someone would ask Mo Xiao about something about him. Mo Xiao answered with a polite smile, and then followed behind Lu Jianyu. climb mountains.In fact, there are not too many people in his group, but the mountain road is very narrow, and they can only climb up one by one, not two people side by side.Mo Xiao also saw that there were many children in their group, and there would always be an older child taking care of them. For these children, this was a rare opportunity to come out and play.
