60s Splendid Life

This day was the same as usual. After dinner, the children were playing in the yard, and Lu Jin was cleaning up his small vegetable patch in the yard.

Most of the green vegetables planted in a small field in the beginning of spring have been eaten, and the rest can be pulled out in two meals, so he plans to turn over the vacant land and set up a field ridge to grow melons.His sister-in-law Xiumei taught him the matter of setting up the field ridges. Although he didn't understand why he wanted to set up the field ridges, he just followed what others said. After all, he is not as good as the people in the village when it comes to farming. That's right.

To say that he has also begun to be a little interested in farming, eating the vegetables he grows himself, this feeling is probably the same as a female colleague he knew who liked to grow flowers, seeing the things he grew to feed himself, That sense of accomplishment is still there.So he planned to turn over the ground and plant a few more seeds, and the melon seedlings would grow in a short time. He was looking forward to the scene when the yard was full of melon pains and hanging melons and fruits when summer came.

"Knock Knock-"

Hearing someone knock on the door, Lu Jin raised his head and looked at the door. The person behind the door looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was at the first time.

He heard the person outside the door say to him: "Grandpa asked you to go back home."

After thinking about it in his mind, Lu Jin remembered that this person was his eldest brother Lu Songguang, the eldest son of his uncle, and the eldest grandson of the old Lu family. The country people value the eldest son and grandson, and the eldest grandson is more popular with Lu Laogen in the old Lu family. important.Today, instead of asking his second aunt to invite him, it was replaced by his eldest brother, and he came on behalf of the oldest head of the old Lu family, which also gave him enough face.

Thinking of this, Lu Jin felt a little funny again. When did he deserve the patriarch to send such a "worthy" person to invite him?

If it was his shameless second aunt who came today, it wouldn't matter if he just drove her away, but it was this elder brother who came today, and the two of them had no conflicts before, so it was okay. He didn't say that out of shame, of course he didn't like those people in the old Lu's family very much, no matter who came.

It's just that he knew that if he didn't go there today, his uncle might come to invite him tomorrow, so after thinking about it for a while, he replied: "Then wait a while, I'll clean up and go with you Do you want to come in and wait?"

"I won't go in and sit down. I'll wait for you at the door." Lu Songguang stood outside the door and didn't go in. He looked into the courtyard from the door, and he could see clearly the layout of the small courtyard, as well as the inside of the courtyard. The children looked at him with vigilance and vigilance in their eyes, which made him very unhappy.If his grandfather hadn't asked him to come today, he didn't really want to come to this cousin.

Ever since this cousin took the team leader and a group of people back home to make a split, and made everyone in the village know about their family affairs, Lu Songguang has been quite critical of this cousin in his heart, thinking that this cousin is too unresponsive. They lost face to their own family, and even joined forces with outsiders to trouble their own family, tearing their own family's face to the ground and stepping on it, causing them to face strange eyes from others even when they were working in the team.

In the past, he liked this cousin with good looks and good personality, but he was more envious. He envied that his third uncle and aunt had jobs in the factory, and his cousin was studying in the town. This kind of envy gradually faded away. turned into jealousy.Yes, he was jealous that these cousins ​​were better off than they were.They have to work in the fields since they were young in the countryside. Most of them have no books. In their family, he went to the third grade of elementary school. The younger brother was sent to school for first grade.

I heard that Lu Jin also sent his younger siblings to the primary school in the village. He looked at the cousins ​​in the yard. They didn't seem to have a difficult life because of the separation of the family. On the contrary, they lived better than before. , This made him a little puzzled, and also faintly excited.He knew that his mother and his grandmother didn't get along very well. His mother was bullied at home. If they also separated... Would their family's life be better than now?

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll wash my hands and go out." Lu Jin went out from the vegetable field, closed the small fence gate outside, and didn't forget to close it after going out.

This bamboo raft was only fenced after raising chickens and ducks at home, but it couldn't stop those chickens and ducks from getting into it to eat the vegetables he planted, so the leaves of the vegetables behind were all pitted, which was caused by those few chickens. The chickens and ducks are eaten, and some leaves are gone, which were picked up by two goslings.

Open the lid of the water tank, take out a water ladle, scoop up the water and wash your hands. While washing, Lu Jin said to a few children in the yard: "Xiaolian Chenchen, you and Xiaobao are at home, brother is going to the old house Be back soon."

"Brother, how long are you going? Can we go with you?" Lu Qinglian was afraid that her brother would be bullied by those bad guys when he went to the old house, and wanted to follow her to protect her brother.

Now Lu Haochen stopped playing, and stood in front of his brother, looking like he wanted to go with his brother.

"It won't be long. My brother will go and come back soon. Just wait for him at home. If you don't want to play at home, you can go to their house with Da Mao and Er Mao." Lu Jin put the lid back on and put the water spoon On the top, I flicked the water from my hands, and put down the trousers on both sides.

"Oh." Seeing that her brother really didn't want them to go, Lu Qinglian's face was a little disappointed.

"Sister, you have to be careful with your younger brothers." It's not that Lu Jin didn't see the little girl's pouting face, but he felt that it would be a bit boring to bring a bunch of small ones when going out, and then bring back a bunch of small ones. It is necessary to let the children run around with him.

"Xiaobao, you stay at home with your brothers and sisters. My brother will come back soon after going out, do you understand?"

"Ah."

Seeing that little Bao'er nodded, Lu Jin reached out and touched the children's heads before going to the people waiting for him outside the door, leaving a few children at home.

On the way to the old house, he didn't speak to this big cousin, the other party walked in front, he walked behind, and there was always a distance of two steps between them.

The distance between these two steps is like their current relationship, neither of them can get close to each other, and they have no intention of connecting with each other.Lu Jin thought it was a good idea. If other members of the old Lu family could learn from this big brother, it would save him a lot of trouble.

It didn't take long for them to come to the old house.

Lu Jin hadn't been back here since the last time they separated, and when he came back here again, he felt like revisiting his old place.

As soon as Lu Jin entered, he saw Lu Laogen and Mrs. Lu, as well as his uncle, Erbo, and Lu Jiankang sitting in the yard. The other cousins ​​were all there. Are you still together when you separate?

Could this group of people be waiting for him?

Lu Jin felt like laughing, but he didn't laugh.

"Grandpa and grandma, I brought Jinxiu here." Lu Songguang finished his task, came back and told the old man, then turned and walked back to his own house, standing in front of the house with his younger brother Lu Songtao. Know what is being said.

Lu Songtao glanced at Lu Jin who came back, his eyes were a bit complicated.

"Grandpa, what's the matter with you looking for me?" Lu Jin looked around at the yard that was the same as when they moved out, and asked Lu Laogen.

The old lady Lu saw that her grandson didn't see her at all, and she didn't know how to ask anyone when she came back. She wanted to get angry, but then she thought of their purpose of calling this wolf cub back today, so she had to temporarily suppress her dissatisfaction and just watched The look at this kid was not too kind.

"Sit down and talk." Lu Laogen pointed to the vacant chair and asked people to sit down and talk.

Lu Jin turned his head and took a look. He didn't want to sit at first, but after thinking about it, he walked over and sat down, waiting for the elder of the old Lu family to speak.

Lu Laogen, a farmer who doesn't know how to beat around the bush, looked at the grandson who came back, and said directly: "I asked your cousin to call you over today because he wanted to ask you about your work in the tofu shop. I heard that you are teaching people how to make tofu over there now, is there such a thing?"

There's nothing to hide about this, so Lu Jin nodded, "Yeah".

"Since there is such a thing, teaching outsiders is also teaching. How about teaching our own family to make tofu. If the tofu shop needs to do things manually in the future, you can tell the daughter-in-law of the captain and let our family go." This is also the purpose of Lu Laogen to bring this grandson back today. One is to let him teach his family to make tofu, and the second is to think that this grandson is already there. If there is a need for manpower there, he can be the first to notify them. The family members go and open a back door for their own family members.

Sitting on the side, Lu Laoer echoed, "Your master is right. There is no reason to take advantage of outsiders. Our own family's skills must be taught to our own family members. Look at the many people in our family. , Pick two at random... Even if you ask your second aunt and uncle to go to the tofu shop to find a job, it will be cheaper than outsiders, right?"

"Yes, Xiao Jin, you taught the second aunt to make tofu, and the second aunt can also go to the tofu workshop to help in the future. Isn't it better for your own family to help your own family than to be with outsiders?" Chen Aihong said this naturally with reason Selfishly, if she can find a job in the tofu shop, her sister-in-law can do the work at home in the future.

Lu Jianguo, who was sitting on the other side, didn't speak, but just looked at Lu Jin and waited for him to speak.

It's just that Lu Jianguo didn't think that this nephew would help his family after moving out. He didn't forget how his old mother bullied these nephews and nieces who had no parents. At that time, his uncle didn't help them much. There are several children, so they have already separated at this moment, and he has no right to ask this child to come back to help their own family.

The same mind is still clear, and Wang Meili, who is working in the kitchen, heard the old man outside and the couple from the second room talking, and she had a sarcastic smile on her face. Only now did she know that they were a family. Why did you go?
