60s Splendid Life

"Thank you for helping me take care of Xiaobao when I was away." Lu Jin specially made this afternoon tea today, and it was actually to thank Shen Yu for helping him take care of his younger brother when he was away.

"So you specially got this and sent it to me?" Shen Yu could hear how his afternoon tea came.

Lu Jin smiled embarrassedly, as a default.Seeing that Shen Yu was wearing a watch on his wrist, he thought that he had to go out, so he asked, "What time is it?"

Shen Yu glanced at his watch and told Lu Jin, "You still have to go out at 10:[-]?"

"I still have something to do, I have to go out. Um..." Actually, Lu Jin wanted to say that if you have time, you can go ahead and help take care of the children, but he was embarrassed to say this, so he paused and continued: "I will soon I'll be back, and I'll cook with you when I come back."

"Okay, you go." Shen met Lu Jin who was about to go out. When he walked to the door, he stopped him, opened the drawer of the desk, took out a box from it, opened the box and took out a pocket watch. , got up and walked towards Lu Jin.

He took Lu Jin's hand and put the pocket watch on his palm.

Looking at Lu Jin at him, it seemed that he was amused by the astonishment and astonishment in the young man's eyes. The corners of Shen Yu's mouth couldn't help curling up a little, and he said with a smile: "Take this pocket watch, it looks good when you go out. time."

"No, no, no, I can't take such a valuable thing." Lu Jin refused to accept it, and pushed the pocket watch back to Shen Yu. A watch is worth a lot of money in this day and age, and he was embarrassed to take it if the two were not related or related. Such a precious gift from others.

"Take it, if you don't want to return it to me, it's useless for me to put this pocket watch in the drawer. Or do you prefer the one on my wrist?" Shen Yu said with a face that you must like the one I wear I'll take it off for you.

"...No need, this one is fine. I'll buy a new watch later and I'll return this one to you." Lu Jin also thought that it would be very troublesome for him to go out without a watch to check the time, of course he also I was embarrassed to ask Shen Yu to take off the watch on his wrist and give it to him.No matter how ignorant he is, he can still recognize the mark on the watch on Shen Yu's wrist. This brand of watch is a watch that can only be bought in shopping malls after decades.

As for the pocket watch in his hand, he can't tell what brand it is, it looks like an old thing, but the watches of this year are definitely not too cheap.So he is also embarrassed to take other people's money and not return it, so he treats it as borrowing and using it, and returns it later.

"Go, go early and come back early." Shen Yu didn't say anything, and let Lu Jin go about his own affairs.

Lu Jin took the pocket watch given by Shen Yu, and hurried out.When he got outside, he said hello to the old lady, and said hello to the two little guys, especially the kid in their family. He repeatedly promised the kid that he would come back soon, and the kid let him go.

When he came to Brother Hou's newly rented house with a basket full of things on his back and two big bags in his hands, he knocked on the door, and the door was opened from the inside.

"Everything is here, just click the number to see if it's right." Lu Jin is very cautious every time he comes to deliver goods to Brother Monkey. Although the two have worked together for so long without any problems, who can guarantee that there will be no problems in the future? No problem, right?

And he can't say that he has [-]% trust in Brother Monkey. Except for his own family, he doesn't think he will trust [-]% in an outsider who doesn't even know his name.

When he was carrying things along the way just now, he was thinking, shouldn't it be better for him to find a place?In this way, if he makes deliveries in the future, he only needs to put the things in his own room and let them pick them up, so as not to have to carry them all the way over here, it always feels not too safe.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Jin also felt that it was not impossible, but when he thought of renting a house specifically for the purpose of using it several times a month, he felt a little bit distressed about the rent money, so he was a little vacillating, thinking about whether to rent a house or not.

Liu Zhun took the list from Lu Jin, checked the goods against the list, and said, "No problem."

"If there is no problem, just sign on it." Lu Jin will write a list every time he makes a shipment. The two parties will sign on it after confirming the quantity and price of the goods. rules.

After Liu Zhun took the goods, he gave Lu Jin the money he had prepared in advance, and asked, "How long can you stay in town this time?"

"I won't stay for long. I'll leave the morning after tomorrow, so how many things do you need these two days? Tell me the number at noon tomorrow, and I'll give it to you tomorrow afternoon." There are two children at home waiting for them to go back. Lu Jin didn't plan to stay outside for a long time.

And now Xiao Bao'er doesn't need to stay in the town all the time, the result of their follow-up visit this time is much better than the last time they came, so it still depends on their parents and children to persist in the future.Of course, if there is an opportunity to go to a bigger city to find a more powerful doctor for surgery in the future, the hope of their child's legs recovering completely is relatively high.

"Leave so soon?" Liu Zhun obviously didn't expect Lu Jin to leave within two days after coming here, and looked at Lu Jin in surprise.

"Well, if there are no special circumstances in the future, I will come at the beginning of the month and the middle of the month. If you need anything, you can write it on the list in advance, and I will give it to me directly." Save yourself asking when he comes, today If he hadn't been waiting here, he wouldn't have returned after their child woke up.

At this moment, Lu Jin misses that when their sister is around, she can help take care of her younger brother.

It's just that he doesn't want the little girl to feel that it is her responsibility to take care of her brother, and wants the little girl to sacrifice her studies to take care of her brother.So even though it's a little harder now, old lady Shen and Shen Yu are asked to take care of the child for him, and he can go back after handing over the things when he finds time.

After all, Lu Jin still felt that it was not so convenient to run around with his things, and still wanted to rent a small yard, so he said to Liu Zhun, "Yes, can you help me find a small yard?"

"Have you finally figured out that you want to move to the town?" Liu Zhun asked with surprise.

"...No, I don't have this idea for now. I just want to find a place to be a warehouse. In the future, we will have another place for delivery, so we don't have to always be in one place. It's too eye-catching." Lu Jin found a reasonable excuse for renting a house for himself , It also saves the other party from being suspicious.

"You're right." Liu Zhun thought about it. It would be a little risky to always deliver goods in one place, but it would be safer to have more places. And after getting a house, Lu Jin might come to town to live in the future , he patted his chest and promised: "Okay, leave this matter to me."

After promising to ask, Liu Zhun asked again: "Do you have any requirements for the house?"

"The place doesn't need to be too big, the people around it shouldn't be too cluttered, and the security and privacy should be higher. It's best if the rent isn't too high. Can you find it for me before noon tomorrow?" Obviously, the key point is that the rent should not be too high.

"……I try my best."

"Okay, I'll leave it to Brother Monkey."

After handing over the goods from Brother Monkey, Lu Jin went to the guest house, got a list from Sister Zhang, and went to the family home by the way. He wrote a note with an address on it, and a line saying that he should go upstairs to find her directly.

Probably because Aunt Liang had given orders, the guard let him in directly.

***

His family used to live in the family courtyard of the factory, so he was no stranger to this kind of tube building. There were clothes hanging everywhere in the courtyard, and even the balcony upstairs was covered with clothes.A lot of things were placed outside the corridor, leaving only one aisle for people to walk through. At first glance, it looks like a mess.

However, Lu Jin has lived in places worse than this Tongzilou, so he didn't have much impression of this place. He found Aunt Liang's house according to the address on the note, stood at the door and knocked, and a woman's voice sounded inside. sound.

The door opened, and a little girl who looked like five or six years old stuck her head out to look at him, and asked who he was in a childish voice.

"I'm here to look for Aunt Liang, is Aunt Liang at home?" Lu Jin bent down to meet the little girl face to face, and asked with a smile on his face.

The door was opened from the inside, and a woman in a blue floral dress with shoulder-length short hair was standing inside. Seeing Lu Jin, she smiled and said, "It's here, you're right. Come in and sit down, the room is a bit messy." , never mind."

"No, no, Aunt Liang, did you see the note I left for the doorman? This is a new cake I made, and I will send it to Auntie for you to try." Lu Jin handed over the gift in his hand For the other party, he is embarrassed to come to someone else's house empty-handed for the first time.

"Oh, you child... how dare you, come in and sit down. You have come here so many times, and my aunt has never invited you to sit at my aunt's house." Liang Hui stretched out her hand to take the things given by the boy, and invited the person to the house. Go sit in the house.

"Thank you, aunt. Are the rest of the family here?" Lu Jin followed into the house and asked when no one else was there.

There is a dining table and a few seats in the small living room. It is not chaotic, but the place is narrow and there are too many things. It is a bit crowded at first glance.

However, there is no way around it. The current housing situation in the city and the countryside is tight. Many families have a large family squeezed into two small houses, and they cannot live in them. For example, the Lu family’s old house is like that.

"The child's father and uncles and aunts have all gone to work, and the older children have all gone to school. The father-in-law is sick and hospitalized, and the mother-in-law will take care of him, and we are the only ones at home." Liang Hui bought herself a glass of water , sat down opposite Lu Jin, and talked about family affairs.
