60s Splendid Life

Lu Jin sat there and listened to what the family said to each other, as if they were a family. He heard it very funny, and couldn't help laughing come out.Putting the corners of his mouth back, he looked at Lu Laogen and Mrs. Lu and said, "I'm afraid I can't decide this matter. It's not that I don't want to teach you, but that the tofu workshop is now the collective property of our village. I want to damage it." The interest of the tofu workshop is to harm the collective interests of our village, and I am afraid that everyone will not agree to this."

"If you came back to me today because of this matter, then I can only say sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you much." He told these people in the Lu family's old house very clearly, asking me to teach you It is impossible to make tofu. Teaching you how to make tofu is harming the interests of the village collective. If you ignore the interests of the village collective, you can continue to trouble me.

Lu Laogen wanted to say something, but he found that he couldn't say enough about this grandson.

"If you don't want to teach, just talk about it, and talk about the interests of the village collective." Lu Jiankang has been displeased with Lu Jin for a long time. If he didn't catch the opportunity, he would teach this kid a lesson!

Lu Jin looked at Lu Jiankang as if he was looking at a fool. He didn't want to talk to this fool. He turned to look at the silent Lu Laogen and said, "If you have nothing else to do, grandpa, I'll go back first." With that said, he stood up and prepared to leave.

As early as when he came in, he noticed that there were some people standing outside the yard who came to listen to their gossip. At this time, the yards of many people in the village were mostly surrounded by adobe bricks or fences. The courtyard wall is also a half-person-high wall surrounded by adobe bricks. Outsiders standing outside the courtyard wall can see and hear what they are saying inside.It is very common for people in the country to go to the next door to stand for a while, and the host can't drive them away.

It was precisely because he knew that outsiders were listening that Lu Jin escalated the matter, so that the old Lu family could not continue to trouble him with this matter.

"Then you go back." Lu Laogen waved his hand to let people go. Today he took off his face and asked his eldest grandson to ask this grandson to come back and ask about this matter. He has already let go of the face of the elders. He did not expect to be rejected so much Thoroughly, this made him feel ashamed and at the same time completely disappointed with this grandson. If he refused to help his family with such a trivial matter, he would think that he would not have this grandson in the future.

Lu Jin didn't know what Lu Laogen was thinking, he walked out after speaking, and when he got outside, he heard Lu Jiankang's voice behind him yelling——

"I told you not to go find him, but you don't believe me, since when did that white-eyed wolf treat us as a family..."

When he walked away, those words behind him were forgotten by him.

But Lu Jiankang was right in saying one thing, he really never regarded the people in the Lu family's old house as a family!

If the people in Lu's hometown had treated Lu Jinxiu and his younger brothers and sisters kindly, they might not be inferior to strangers today.But it's a pity that there is no if, what happened has already happened, and the boy who gritted his teeth and led his younger brothers and sisters away is no longer there.

At this time, most people in the village have had dinner, the adults are sitting in their own yards or outside the gate gossiping, and the children are playing in front of and behind the house.

On the way back, he met many people who greeted him, and Lu Jin smiled.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s working as a master in a tofu workshop and teaching people how to make tofu. He feels that many people in the village treat him with more kindness and enthusiasm than before. That’s why he was willing to go to the tofu workshop to teach people how to make tofu. He hoped that through this method, the brothers and sisters could gain a foothold in the village and let the people in the village regard them as part of the village.

And if you want others to accept you quickly, the best way is that you can make a little contribution to the village, and now it seems that he has done it.

Before going back, he went to the tofu workshop to soak the beans and save them for making tofu tomorrow.

When he came home from the outside, the afterglow in the west was almost gone. The three children in the family were sitting in the yard waiting for him. Da Mao and Er Mao brothers were not there. It seemed that they should have gone home.

The three children in the yard jumped up as soon as they saw him. Chenchen and her sister ran towards him, and Xiao Baoer followed behind.The elder sister ran two steps before remembering that there was a little brother, and hurriedly turned around to pick up the little brother, and ran over to the returning brother with the little brother.

"elder brother!"

"What's the matter, everyone is listless? Didn't my brother say he'll be back soon?"

Why do they all look like they're about to cry?

Lu Jin took over the little Bao'er who was being carried by his sister. As soon as the little Bao'er got into his arms, he wrapped his two small arms around his neck, and wrapped them around very hard, as if he was afraid that he would not come back after leaving like this. , "Okay, okay, little Bao'er, let go of your hand a little bit, you're hugging brother's neck too tightly."

Before he could tear the octopus off his neck, another one was hanging on his hand.

"Brother, why have you been away for so long?" Lu Haochen hugged his brother's hand and held it tightly.

"It didn't take long, I came back in less than half an hour." This made Lu Jin a little dumbfounded, and the bad mood outside was also caused by the disappearance of several children at home. He dragged one in his arms Walking in, I almost forgot that the door was unlocked, "Sister, go and close the door."

Lu Qinglian ran to guard the door, bolted the door, and ran back home.

It was a little late when I came back from the outside, but fortunately there was hot water in the pot. When I got home, Lu Jin got hot water for the two boys to take a bath, and asked my sister to take a bath by herself.By the time they all took a shower and went back to the house, it was already dark outside.

***

It began to rain lightly at night, and it continued to drip until the next morning.

It was still raining outside when I got up in the morning, so Lu Jin went to the kitchen to cook breakfast, and the little girl at home also got up early to help cook the fire.When their breakfast was almost ready, the two little boys outside the family woke up from their sleep.

"Is it really okay for you to take Xiaobao to school today?"

"Yes, I will carry my brother on my back."

"Then you go in your raincoats, and take off your raincoats when you get to school."

Seeing that the two eldest children in the family wanted to take the little Bao'er to school, Lu Jin didn't say no, he helped the two children put on raincoats, and told a few words, "Study hard at school and listen to the teacher" and "Don't talk to your classmates." We are having conflicts" and so on, looking at the three children, the older one is carrying the younger one on his back, and there is another next to him, and the three siblings are going to school.

He stood at the intersection and watched for a while, seeing the figures of the three children getting farther and farther away, before turning around and heading towards the tofu shop at the entrance of the village.

"I wanted to teach you how to make bean curd sticks today, but the rain can't dry out bean curd sticks this day, and I'll teach you how to make bean curd sticks when the weather clears." Originally, Lu Jin wanted to teach everyone how to make bean curd sticks today, but God didn't give face, so he did this The days of yuba can only be postponed.

"It will take a few days for the Qingming rain to stop. It seems that we will be able to make bean curd sticks in a few days." Mrs. Qin also came to the tofu shop early in the morning, and her two grandchildren also brought them to the tofu shop. There was no one under the tree at the entrance of Yucun, so she brought her two grandchildren to the tofu workshop.

The drizzle outside was not heavy, but it was just a little annoying.

Hearing that Mrs. Qin said that it was going to be Qingming, Lu Jin was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Is it going to be Qingming?"

"Yeah, it's Qingming at this time of year." Aunt Qin remembered that Lu Jin's parents had passed away, and after thinking about it, she reminded her, "Your parents' graves are new graves for the first three years, so you have to go to the funeral a little earlier. bye."

"Oh, yes, thank you, ma'am." Lu Jin really didn't understand this. He went back to the Lu family's old house yesterday. The people in the old house didn't tell him about it, and they didn't know it was intentional. Don't say it or forget it.Since he now occupies someone else's body, he must go to pay homage to his deceased parents for the original body.

Later, he asked him what Aunt Qin needed to bring to worship, and where to buy paper money.

Fortunately, there are still people in the countryside who make these things and sell them. His Aunt Qin's family has already bought them in advance, saying that they can share some with him.He thanked Mrs. Qin and said that he would go to their house to get some when he got back.

After the two people finished talking, Li Guihua and Cai Chunmei brought back the ground soybean milk, and Wang Xiumei followed behind.

Originally, yesterday they agreed to go to Lijiaao to go to the market tomorrow. At that time, Lu Jin also said to make more bean curd sticks and sell them there, but now it seems that it is not convenient to rain this day, and they can't make bean curd sticks, so they go to the market Things can only be postponed, but fortunately, everyone has no objection to this.

"Are we still making so many tofu flowers and tofu today?"

"It's the same as yesterday."

"Is it raining today, will no one come to change the tofu?"

"...Then make less bean curd, and make more tofu, and then no one will come to change it."

Seeing that it was raining outside, and the two children, Da Mao and Er Mao, were trapped in the tofu shop and couldn't go out to play outside, Lu Jin asked Mrs. Qin to take the two children back, so that the four of them could get on with their work here.

"Okay, then you stay here. I'll take them home and come over later to have a look." Aunt Qin couldn't help seeing her two grandsons making a fuss in the tofu shop, so she had to take her two grandsons home first.

It rained intermittently on this day, but some people came to change tofu flowers, but compared to the previous two days, it was a little less. Fortunately, they did not make as many tofu flowers as in the previous two days, and there was still some leftovers that could not be replaced later.

Many people come to exchange for tofu. For something that doesn’t cost money, you can exchange for tofu with some beans. Many people are still willing to exchange for it.

When the tofu workshop closed, there was still a little tofu flower left, so Lu Jin decided to share it with the employees to eat.
